Chapter 136
Chapter 136
Аftеr using thе ‘Sрacе-Тimе Lеаp’ skill to instantlу аrrive neаr the Kаltmоrе Моuntаin Range, Кhan immediаtеly drеw uроn his Маna.
“I dоn’t know whу those guуs wеrе tаiling me, but I neеd to finish uр and get baсk аs quickly as pоssiblе.”
If they were pеоple who held a grudgе аgainst him, theу might targеt Кhаn’s сompanions, Shаrin or Bуutеk.
Fоr Khan tо рrоtect Shаrin or Bуutek from those guуs, hе at leаst nеedеd to visit the Нidden Gate.
Dаrenvаlt аnd Silvia were adventurеrs with levеls ехcеeding 120, making thеm quitе fоrmidable оpроnеnts fоr thе currеnt Кhаn.
‘If I fought thеm right nоw, I might even end up dead.’
Of course, it didn’t seem like those two held any grudge against Khan.
Still, since he didn’t know why Darenvalt and Silvia were tailing him, it was better to be as cautious as possible.
Drawing upon his Mana and rotating three Circles, Khan quickly moved his body.
With his increased Mana Capacity, it was now possible to use Mana to accelerate his body.
Papatpatpat!
Khan began rapidly ascending the Kaltmore Mountain Range by leaping off rocks.
The Hidden Gate he was looking for was located at the midpoint of the mountain range.
‘There was a spot around the middle of the Kaltmore Mountain Range where the rock was deeply indented.’
That was precisely where the Hidden Gate was concealed.
Finding the indented rock in an instant, Khan used another skill.
[Skill ‘Arrow’ has been used.]
With the increased number of Circles and Mana Capacity, the arrow was much larger and thicker than before.
Ssssssssssh!
Thud!
Kwaaaang!!
As the Mana Arrow embedded itself into the indented spot, the rock cracked and shattered with a jjeojjeok sound.
A green-hued Gate revealed itself amidst the shattered rocks.
A green Gate, unlike the usual blue ones.
Users of <Geo Arc> referred to these green Gates as Hidden Gates.
‘In Hidden Gates, you gain tremendous Experience Points or items.’
Very rarely, there were also cases of dying in Hidden Gates.
Among Hidden Gates, there were some that contained numerous hidden traps.
Fortunately, the Gate Khan found didn’t seem to have any such traps.
‘Should I check my Experience Points before entering the Gate?’
Khan opened his Status Window to check his current Experience Points.
◈ LV.76
◈ Khan (Lee Huseong)
◈ Mana: 10510/10510
◈ Talent: Magic
◈ Experience Points: 67.4%
◈ Skills: (10★)Sage’s Heart, (8★)Growth Acceleration, (1★)Arrow, (1★)Barrier, (2★)Fire Boom, (2★)Fireball, (2★)Mirror Defense, (2★)Mana Enhancement, (1★)Wind Cutter, (3★)Dragon’s Breath, (4★)Mana Circulation, (4★)Power Amplification, (4★)Space-Time Leap, (5★)Dark Flame, (1★)Wind Drill
His level was still 76, and his Experience Points remained at 67%, unchanged from the last time he checked.
‘Well, I haven’t completed any Quests or hunted Monsters since I last checked my Status Window.’
Now, all that was left was to go inside and quickly level up.
Khan threw his body into the green Gate that had appeared within the crevice of the shattered rock.
As Khan entered the green Gate and blinked his eyes, a vast expanse of land unfolded before him.
Seeing a landscape identical to the one he remembered from the game, Khan felt somewhat relieved.
‘That’s a relief. I had a slight worry that a Gate different from what I knew might appear.’
The game world Khan had entered had slight differences from the <Geo Arc> world he knew.
No matter how well Khan knew it, being cautious couldn’t hurt.
As Khan slowly surveyed the interior of the Dungeon, a message suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Hidden Quest has been cleared.]
[Acquired a minuscule amount of Experience Points as a reward.]
[A new Hidden Quest has been generated.]
-
[Defeat 100 special Slimes that only appear in the Hidden Gate of the Kaltmore Mountain Range.]
-
Will you accept the Hidden Quest?
-
If refused, the Hidden Quest will be deleted.
-
Reward: Large amount of Experience Points
Khan accepted without hesitation.
The moment he accepted the Quest, a pure white light began to bloom across the barren wasteland where nothing had been.
The lights were small, about the size of a soccer ball, and dozens of them appeared simultaneously.
‘The Monsters are spawning.’
Khan knew very well about the special Slimes that only appeared inside this Hidden Gate.
Green-colored Slimes revealing themselves amidst the pure white light.
These were Monsters that Khan could easily defeat even if his level were 1.
To be precise, they were creatures that would die on their own even without Khan directly defeating them.
‘An auto-huntable, truly game-breaking Gate.’
To check how much Experience Points increased per Slime, Khan opened his Status Window once more.
◈ LV.76
◈ Khan (Lee Huseong)
◈ Mana: 10510/10510
◈ Talent: Magic
◈ Experience Points: 67.9%
◈ Skills: (10★)Sage’s Heart, (8★)Growth Acceleration, (1★)Arrow, (1★)Barrier, (2★)Fire Boom, (2★)Fireball, (2★)Mirror Defense, (2★)Mana Enhancement, (1★)Wind Cutter, (3★)Dragon’s Breath, (4★)Mana Circulation, (4★)Power Amplification, (4★)Space-Time Leap, (5★)Dark Flame, (1★)Wind Drill
It seemed his Experience Points had increased by 0.5% from the Hidden Quest Clear Reward earlier.
The green Slimes that had revealed themselves had already multiplied into hundreds.
They jumped and rushed toward Khan rapidly.
The attack of the Slimes from this Hidden Gate was a simple body slam.
A Slime hurled its body at Khan with all its might.
Molkkang! Poof!
For a moment, Khan felt a soft sensation on his body, but no Damage was inflicted.
‘Actually, the soft feeling is quite pleasant. Is this how it feels to experience it for real?’
The green-colored Slime that had body-slammed Khan had already burst and disappeared.
Khan had merely been standing still, yet the Slime died on its own.
Defeating one Slime via auto-hunt increased Khan’s Experience Points by about 2%.
‘This percentage increase is a bit stingy.’
From now on, the indiscriminate body slam attacks of the Slimes would begin in earnest.
Smiling inwardly, Khan spread his arms with a very peaceful heart and entrusted his body to them.
Dozens of green Slimes simultaneously body-slammed Khan.
Molkkang! Poof! Molkkang! Poof! Molkkang! Poof!
The moment they touched Khan’s body, they burst and died.
Simultaneously, a new message appeared before Khan’s eyes.
[Level has increased.]
Amidst this, the body slam attacks of the green Slimes did not stop.
With the continuous attacks from the Slimes, Khan confirmed his Experience Points rising rapidly in real-time.
A short while later, another message appeared before his eyes.
[Level has increased.]
Not even a few minutes had passed since his level increased, and it had increased again.
‘I’ll definitely reach level 80.’
To win this Underground Arena Tournament, Khan needed to become stronger, even if just a little.
The immediate way to become stronger was to level up and obtain a Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket.
‘If only useful skills come from the Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket, my chances of winning the Underground Arena Tournament will increase.’
The skills Khan needed were ones that could accelerate his body and defensive skills that could protect his body.
He already had the ‘Barrier’ and ‘Mirror Defense’ skills, but these two were still insufficient.
‘Barrier’ was a Hidden Skill that could be used even without Mana, but its defensive power was too low.
‘If I use Barrier in the Underground Arena Tournament, it’ll shatter without even being able to exert its power.’
The ‘Mirror Defense’ skill, which blocked all attacks, had too long a Cooldown.
It was a skill that could only be used once a day, and in the Underground Arena Tournament, he would have to engage in at least five one-on-one battles.
Therefore, Khan really wanted to obtain at least one defensive-related skill.
Molkkang! Poof! Molkkang! Poof! Molkkang! Poof!
Even while Khan was lost in thought, the Slimes continued to crash into him and die.
In proportion, Khan’s level was also rising rapidly.
Finally.
[Hidden Quest has been cleared.]
[Acquired a large amount of Experience Points as a reward.]
