Fang Raon was falling fast towards the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a short wall, but he was currently suspended in mid-air and couldn’t really do anything in that short one-second fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Missile!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grimoire opened again, and Abigail sent the \"Magic Missile\" hurling towards the falling Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon cut straight through the spell, and as soon as he landed back on the ground, he lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Armor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail shouted, and a protective shield formed around her body. It was transparent and had a slight hue of green color to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon slammed his sword against the shield, but it got deflected easily, sending him stumbling backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How many skills does she have?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was the same with Justin. He had a lot of skills, so I guess that’s what mages have to do: just purchase as many skill scrolls as they can afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It does open up the possibilities they could do in a fight, and their value also skyrockets if they have many skills in possession...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just made him want Abigail even more. She was exactly what he was looking for in a party member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mana Twins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, she used yet another new skill, and to the shock of spectators, two clones of Abigail appeared beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked exactly like Abigail, but they were holding a sword and shield each, as if they were Warrior class instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She can create clones of herself and even give them different classes? How is she not already part of some powerful guild? I just don’t get it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered with a grimace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should be someone that guilds would be fighting over to recruit, and yet here she was, all alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail’s clones attacked Fang Raon, but they were just level 1 clones, and thus, Fang Raon easily sliced through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned to nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail was sweating, and it looked like her head was pounding with a headache. It was her lack of mana acting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a lot of her mana to summon a single clone, not to mention two, and they failed to harm Fang Raon even a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was weakness of Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at level 2, they really needed Mana Recovery potions to keep fighting for longer periods of time, and such things weren’t allowed to be used in the Combat Lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fought outside Combat Lounge, Abigail could do much better, and would most likely win as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in here, she didn’t have enough mana to beat Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...He knew this when he challenged me. He planned to just make me waste mana and wait for me to run out of mana before going on the offensive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail thought with an exhausted look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are good, and I want you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile, and at that moment, he pressed forward with an all-out attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the last remaining mana, Abigail jumped backwards and fired \"Fireball\" spells at Fang Raon, as they cost the least mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon sliced through the fireballs—the blade of the Refined Sword singing like a chorus of angels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Wall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail raised a wall between them to stop Fang Raon’s rush attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dodge Roll!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Fang Raon rolled to the side, dodging the wall, and continued his advance towards Abigail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mana Twin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail created another twin—this time it was Tank with a heavy-looking shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HARD SLASH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon brought his sword down, cutting through the shield, through the clone, and the tip of the blade stopped just inches from Abigail’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It silenced the rowdy crowd as they witnessed in live time as their gambled money was lost in one swift motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail raised her arms in surrender, and her grimoire flew back to the book bag that was dangling from her hip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, Fang Raon returned his sword to his inventory, and he shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh man, you’re definitely stronger than me. I would not want to fight you outside Combat Lounge, that’s for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fight was a good experience for him, as he realized what he was lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Abigail had many different kinds of skills she could use, Fang Raon was a pretty one-dimensional fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have anything exceptional except some slashing and stabbing attacks. He needed something more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to go to Skill Market and find something to buy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail looked at him silently and realized that he was completely in his own world right now, thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He doesn’t gloat like others would but is immediately thinking of ways to make himself stronger. Maybe he is a good leader to follow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she had been kicked from many parties because they couldn’t stand her demanding nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Will they also kick me out in the future?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered with a heavy heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the cage, and since they didn’t bet anything, they neither lost nor won on the match, but the gambling players did lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wohoo, I am rich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary retrieved his winnings, which got him some ugly looks from nearby players, but he didn’t care as he was grinning from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are going to split that with me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked with a twitching eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why the hell would I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary asked with a scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I deserve at least half because I was the one fighting, you dumbass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?! I was the one that did the betting, and I bet my own money, not yours, so fuck you, you aren’t getting shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail looked at the two arguing young men and massaged her temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Am I really making the correct decision here?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","300a7ad16853214e09cd2a555f41c5eb0cb626465f4c3f0ddd1b91950a92d26e","black-online-chapter-60","black-online-chapter-58",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
