Ancient Blood Mage

Chapter 43 : I'm actually this awesome!

The sun had finally set. The sight of Sun setting upon a horrifying black lake was something that one could never see in the real world. That was one of Maya's biggest charm. Even if players didn't enjoy the battle nor the activity, they could still be amazed by the scenery. It was similar to vacation, except that it didn't take much time and everything was a lot more amazing.

Ragna had finished hunting. Seeing the abundant amount of loots in his bag, he couldn't help but scream in joy. He was truly happy when he saw that all his effort could actually give him the benefits he deserved.

There was a huge amount of materials such as Lizard's skin and their body parts. There was also a few equipment that dropped. Even though none of them was Rare-ranked, they could still sell for quite an amount in the market. They were equipment ranging in level 20-27 after all.

Most of the player were still at level 20s, meaning that equipment in that segment were highly in demand. Of course, there was also another market for elite and pro players, even though their quantity was lower, the price was of course incomparable.

Level 35 equipment set compared to level 20 set? The answer was obvious.

The other thing that made Ragna ecstatic was the fact that he finally hit level 20!

Every ten level in Maya was comparable to leaping in strength. Players would get extra skills or have their quality improved when they reached the milestone. As for now, Ragna could finally learn the skill belonging to the earth-series for level 20 players, Boulder Smash.

The concept of the skill was to condense a huge boulder with high density and hurled it toward the enemy. Even though the casting time and the projectile speed was a bit slow, its damage was enormous.

As a close-combat fighter, Ragna didn't have any idea on how to fully utilize the skill. Unlike his other skill which had fast casting time, Boulder Smash was unusable in high-tempo close combat. The skill was meant to be casted by a Mage who was being guarded by a group. A player also had to somehow constrict the target's movement in order for the skill to successfully hit. In conclusion, the skill wasn't practical in a solo fight.

Wait.. Casting time?

Ragna looked at the casting time it required. Astonishingly, what he saw was only 6 seconds..

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He already researched the skill thoroughly. It SHOULD be 8 seconds!

Holy Sh*t!

The skill's casting time was discounted by the system? Only for him? For what reason?

He suddenly realized something and carefully looked at his other skills. He checked his casting time and compared everything to the information he got on the forums.

No way.

His other skills also had their casting time reduced by some amount. Quagmire was supposed to have 7 seconds casting time, but it became 5 seconds for Ragna!

The same was also applied for Earth Spike and Earth Wall. Both had their casting time reduced to only 4 seconds!

No wonder he was able to continuously use his skills in close combat!

Wow! I don't know that I'm actually this awesome!

One had to understand that one second of difference could result in a different outcome of a combat. By relying on his enhanced skills, Ragna could practically use his skill more freely.

The same goes to Boulder Smash, now Ragna had more opportunity to use it. Two seconds of difference was huge after all.

This sudden discovery made him speechless. Then, that expression changed into one of great joy. He knew that there's still another thing left that could further increase his mood. He hadn't equipped the Black Wolf Set!
