[Clock Work]
Tier 4
Type: Active
Cooldown: 30 minutes
Duration: 10 minutes or when the mana of the user runs out.
Info: A skill originating from the God of time, Kronos(Chronos), and imparted it to the humans who managed to gain the gift to manipulate time. Users will be able to create a domain where the user is the absolute power. During the duration of the skill, the user will not be consuming mana and the cooldown will disappear during the duration of the skill. The user and the enemies in the vicinity of this skill will also be inflicted with (Time Counter). For every [Time Counter] an enemy has, Slow debuff will get worse and movement will also be affected while the user will have increased effectiveness of skills and application of debuff to 20% per [Time Counter]. This skill will consume 50 MP per 10 seconds and after the duration of the skill, the user will be deemed immobile for 3 minutes.
Note: Did you just steal the "Big Ben"?
This is pretty much a broken Chronomancer skill. It has drawbacks but it is a pretty broken skill if it is used effectively, especially in a PVP situation where players will have to attack the enemy as much as they can and reduce their HP as fast as possible.
It's not that bad and it's indeed hard but this is a good challenge to say at least.
"Not bad!"
"You might have won your battles easily but I won't let you get me defeated easily!"
Chronomancer's playstyle relies on the [Timebomb] and the other skills that rely on the debuff stacking. They are pretty troublesome if you are hit with the slow debuff. Once you are hit by it, the incoming attacks will be really brutal.
Seeing my status, I received 1 [Time Counter] and I can feel my movements getting heavier. If this is a tag team, I will be obliterated in just a few seconds.
She didn't waste her time and throw three [Timebombs] at me. She thought it was going to be a sure win for her.
"Too bad, it seems like you are just not just fit to win."
Aquila frowned at my words. She didn't understand it at all.
"Remember this word, [Timelock]"
Before Aquila can understand what happened, she was sent flying to the other side of the Arena.
"Hey, where are you going, we are not done yet!"
I changed my weapon into a hook and chain and skillfully hook her body out of the rubble and pulled her back to the fight.
"Ack!"
BANG! Her body got sent flying once more to the other side of the arena. She cough up blood and fall flat to the ground. She still didn't manage to retaliate.
"WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WHAT DID JUST HAPPEN?! DID YOU GUYS SEE WHAT HAPPENED JUST NOW? EVEN I SEEMED TO HAVE MISSED SOMETHING!"
The [Clock Work] was forcefully stopped after I wreck Aquila in a few hits. And due to the [Clock Work]'s setback, she is now immobile for 3 minutes.
"What... what did you just do?" Aquila struggled to stand up from the ground. With the backlash of [Clock Work], she is rendered immobile and cannot move.
"Did you remember the word I whispered to you? It's a Chronomancer's passive."
Aquila's eyes grew wide as her mind recalled the skill that was indeed present on her skill tree. Too bad, from the looks on her face, she hasn't bought it yet in favor of the skill [Clock Work].
[Timelock]
Tier 4
Type: Passive
Info: Whenever the user receives a [Time Counter], the user will gain buffs that increase by 5% for every stack of the [Time Counter] present. The following buffs will be applied:
1.10% movement speed increase
2. 5% attack increase
3. 10% chance to cleanse the debuff
4. 5% magic damage increase.
Once the Time Counters are gone, the buffs applied will only linger for 10 seconds before fading away as well.
Note: Ever feel the rush during deadlines? The buffs you receive are similar to the energy you suddenly obtained during the last-minute countdown before the deadline.
Its one of the passive skills that are overlooked by some Chronomancers due to the incredible effects of [Clock Work] but it was clear as day that the two skills work hand in hand and any Chronomancer will not forget to buy this skill due to the benefits they will get with it.
"Unfortunately, I am not just going to lose that easily. However, I applaud you for fighting against me. You still lack the skills but you are certainly capable. You can still grow stronger. But today is not the day you will be able to climb up in the rankings. And with that, I apologize."
SWISH!"
I ended the life of Aquila and she died in the game.
"THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED BUT ALSO AN EXPECTED OUTCOME GUYS! THE WINNER OF THE MATCH IS NONE OTHER THAN BLADEHEART! HE WILL BE PROCEEDING TO THE QUARTER-FINALS AND WILL BE FACING THE OTHERS WHO ALSO QUALIFIED SO STAY ON YOUR SEATS! THE BATTLES WILL JUST GET HOTTER AND MORE BLOOD PUMPING!"
The players and NPCs started cheering for the next battle so that means my match is finally done and I am now good to go to rest and wait for the remaining matches to finish before the Quarter Finalist will be out.
I left the arena to rest in the room that is going to be my personal room in the meantime and also one of the rooms that the winners and next participants to fight the next round will be using.
To be honest, if I didn't learn [Timelock] before, I am screwed. [Clock Work] is strong and the debuff is pretty annoying. My passives are still not capable of fully mitigating debuffs at all and most of the time, they are not possible to be healed with just with my skills alone. I needed an accessory that will help mitigate the effects of these things in the future.
I waited for the battles to end and it took a bit of time before the qualifiers ended and the winners are now introduced to proceed to the Quarterfinals.
The next enemy I am facing this time is a Magic Knight like me. He is one of the strongest Magic Knights in the past and one of the guys that has made quite a name for himself.
"To think I am going to meet with him here. Too bad it's not Kazuki but this is also a good opportunity to see how he was during the days he is still on the beginning phase."
"Is he a strong guy, Master?" Atlas asked.
"He is strong but I am not sure how strong he was right now. But I can say that he is strong enough to solo a boss all by his own."
"Oh, I would love to spar against this guy."
"Like I said Atlas, you can't do that at all. No matter how much you wanted to also fight, you will not be qualified to do so, just grit your teeth, and maybe in the future, you can cross blades with him."
"...Damn it. I am itching to fight too."
...
We received another 10 minutes break before the next sets of battles begin. Out of 24 players, only 12 players are left. In the finals, 3 players will be left and only one of them will emerge victorious in the process via a deathmatch between the three in one arena, which will cause pure chaos. I have no idea why they tried creating the last match as a battle of three people instead of just the two finalists who will fight for the glory. It was then dubbed by many players as the "Battle For Blood" due to its nature similar to a battle royale.
While waiting for the next match to come, Lucia who is just watching before and didn't speak much after we went to Arena decided to speak.
"Master, I am detecting movement to the egg that you are ignoring on your inventory. I am not sure but I thought it was about to hatch or something."
"?!"
My reaction is fast and I opened my inventory and locate the little egg that Lucia detected. And just like what Lucia indeed said, the egg is glowing now. I checked its info but there are no changes on its info so I am confused about what is going on with this egg.
"What is going on with this egg? Why is it glowing? Lucia, are you detecting anything that has changed on this egg other than the obvious glow and the small vibrations it is doing?"
"I tried to peer inside of the egg to see what is going on inside its eggshell but I apologize on this one Master, but it's hollow and it was like I am swallowed by the void."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
