Chapter 190

[Yоu hаvе аcquired а соnsidеrаble amount оf еxpеriencе роints аs thе Мain Quest сlear rеwаrd.]

[Eхреriеnсe рoints аre incrеаsеd 50-fоld due to thе effеct of the skill ‘Infinitе Grоwth’.]

[Your Level has inсrеased.]

[You have rеаched Level 100.]

[You hаvе acquirеd a ‘Jоb-Ехсlusive Random Skill Selеction Тiсkеt’ as a rеwаrd fоr reaсhing Level 100.]

[Frоm Level 100 onwards, уоu can асquire а Job-Eхclusive Randоm Skill Selесtion Ticket evеry timе уоur Levеl increаsеs bу 50.]

This definitivеly рrоvеd thе еffeсtivеnеss of thе nеwly acquired ‘Infinite Growth’.

‘Now my Level will skyrocket every time I clear a Quest. Just like now.’

The Level Up Messages still showed no sign of stopping.

[Your Level has increased.]

In <Geo Arc>, raising your Level becomes much more difficult from Level 100 onwards.

The reason is that the amount of experience points required for a Level Up becomes immense after Level 100, but Khan’s Level kept increasing thanks to the ‘Infinite Growth’ skill.

[Your Level has increased.]

[Your Level has increased.]

[Your Level has increased.]

Finally, the messages stopped.

Khan opened his Status Window to check how much his Level had increased.

◈ LV.112

◈ Khan (Lee Huseong)

◈ Mana: 42220/42220

◈ Talent: Magic

◈ Experience Points: 1%

◈ Skills: (10★)Sage’s Heart, (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, (4★)Flame Curtain, (5★)Absolute Sight, (5★)Chrono Reset, (8★)Infinite Growth

Opening the Status Window to check, his Level had risen exactly by 13.

‘Leveling up 13 times from a single Quest… That’s like using a bug in the game.’

In the skill list, the original Rank 8 Hidden Skill, Growth Acceleration, had disappeared and was newly replaced by the Rank 8 Hidden Skill, Infinite Growth.

‘To think this happened because of the Growth Boost skill from the Ancient Magic Tome… I was lucky.’

This was a first even for Khan, who was an old-timer in <Geo Arc>.

To begin with, both the Growth Acceleration and Growth Boost skills were Hidden Skills Khan was seeing for the first time.

‘<Geo Arc> must still hold many secrets I don’t know.’

That meant there were still many ways left for him to grow stronger.

‘But it’s a bit strange. Originally, from Level 100 onwards, you got a Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket every 30 Levels.’

There was one point that differed slightly from what Khan knew, but it didn’t really matter to him now.

Since Main Quests give rewards based on your current Level, leveling up would continue to be easy from now on.

“Phew… Shall I slowly leave Erindel and start looking for Hidden Skills?”

Right after entering this game, Khan’s first goal was to find Hidden Skills.

Even the Hidden Skills Khan remembered numbered in the dozens.

‘I don’t remember all of them, but just the ones I clearly remember are about 15.’

But thinking about it now, Hidden Skills didn’t seem particularly necessary either.

Most of the Hidden Skills Khan knew were skills that could be obtained normally.

For example, the Rank 1 Hidden Skill ‘Arrow’ that Khan had could also be obtained from a Random Skill Selection Ticket.

The only differences between the normal Arrow and the Hidden Arrow were that it consumed no Mana and had a slightly shorter Cooldown.

‘Most of the Hidden Skills I know don’t have any particular advantages other than having a shorter Cooldown.’

Moreover, since Khan could now level up very easily, the necessity of Hidden Skills had decreased significantly compared to before.

‘Still, having them is better than not, so it’s good to find them as quickly as possible.’

Originally, he wanted to go looking for Hidden Skills immediately after entering the game world, but he was too weak back then to travel around.

He might have encountered Bandits while wandering, or faced strong Monsters and risked death.

But not anymore.

‘I’ve become much stronger, but Sharin and Byutek have also become almost as strong as me, so there shouldn’t be a problem going anywhere.’

Having reached that conclusion, Khan went outside the building.

He entered a few other buildings to check if there was anything useful, but unfortunately, there wasn’t.

‘I should at least say something before I go.’

Since there was no longer any reason to stay here, he planned to leave Erindel today or, at the latest, tomorrow.

As Khan approached Binsen and Bellua, who were searching the adjacent building, Binsen spoke first.

“Have you already finished looking around the buildings?”

“Yes, I think I’ll be going now.”

“Alright, then please take care, Sir Khan. Since you said you’ll be staying in Arcana in about a month, I’ll come visit you then.”

“Do as you wish.”

“Ah, goodbye, Sir Khan…!”

Khan gave a slight nod in response to Bellua’s final farewell and then used a skill.

[Skill ‘Space-Time Leap’ has been used.]

Then, Khan instantly vanished before Binsen and Bellua’s eyes.

“Wow… That’s really amazing. That must have been a Long-Distance Teleport spell, right?”

“Yes, probably. He’s the one who defeated that monster Lexar, so he must be capable of using Long-Distance Teleport magic too. He probably used it to come here as well.”

“Ah, right. Seeing as he appeared suddenly without any presence, that must be it.”

“It’s a relief our burden has lessened…. To be honest, I had a very uneasy feeling about this mission.”

“Huh? About what?”

“Bellua, didn’t you think it was strange that we were told to take down Lexar’s Gang just by ourselves? No matter how much Lexar dabbled in Dark Magic, he was a Mage far stronger than us. His followers were also quite powerful Mages.”

“That’s true, but… from the start, the higher-ups told us to run away if it seemed we were in danger. They also said to just roughly assess their strength….”

“But ultimately, the mission itself was to defeat Lexar if possible. Anyway, think of it as thanks to Sir Khan that we survived. I really didn’t want to come on this mission.”

Saying that, Binsen opened the Magic Tower Information System.

“Why the Magic Tower Information System?”

“Ah, it seems the information about Sir Khan is incorrectly recorded, so I’m going to make a slight correction.”

“Huh? How?”

“You’ll see when you look.”

Having met the man named Khan in person, he didn’t seem to be that much of a dangerous person.

‘He was a sensible person, and rather, someone who knows how to show goodwill. He’s also a righteous person who defeats evil people.’

Seeing how he didn’t just ignore Lexar’s Gang, he must definitely be a righteous person.

So, Binsen began adding his own opinion to the description section about Khan in the Magic Tower Information System.

[Magic Tower Information System]

[Name: Khan]

[Affiliation: X]

[Circle: X]

[Mana Level: ???]

[Remarks: A top-tier Mage whose proper information is unknown. Tall stature with a slender build, casts all magic with Chantless Casting. Possesses considerable Mana. Overwhelmed Belbek and Serina of the Blue Magic Tower. Owner of such vast Mana that even after consuming a Mana Pill, no increase in Mana is felt. Seems capable of concealing his own Mana. An extremely dangerous individual; if encountered, it is advised to flee immediately. However, a more righteous figure than expected. Defeated Lexar, the traitor of the Yellow Magic Tower, and his gang. Personality is not very twisted, is reasonable and sensible. Someone who knows how to show goodwill.]

Binsen even wrote the final revision date and his own name as the reviser at the end.

“Hmm, that’s true. He didn’t seem like such a bad person after all…”

“Yeah, probably everyone judged Sir Khan based only on his exterior. He looks stern and cold on the outside.”

After making the final revision, Binsen continued searching with Bellua.

The next day.

Khan finished preparations early in the morning with Byutek and Sharin.

“Hyungnim!! I’m all ready to leave!”

“I’m ready too, Master!”

Since he had told Byutek and Sharin last night that they would leave today, the two had already procured a Carriage.

“Then we can go now.”

“Yes! Let’s go!”

Khan’s party immediately boarded the Carriage and began to leave Erindel.

And from a distance, a man was watching them while letting out a deep sigh.

“Phew, what a shame. The Ancient Magic Tome I went to such lengths to obtain…”

He should have made a contract with Khan using the Ancient Magic Tome as leverage, but he couldn’t.

How could he bind Khan, who easily defeated the kingdom’s guard captain, with a contract?

“But it’s really fortunate. If Dramos had won, my life would have been over…”

As Aldrik was muttering to himself like that.

Suddenly, Rodion hurriedly entered his room and shouted.

“Ah, Sir Aldrik…!!”
