202 – Blue Dragon of Valor (3)
Among the runes I currently have, if I had to choose the best rune in the direct combat series.
I will choose the [Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride] without hesitation.
The Legendary Rune [The Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride] has enormous effects befitting its name and reputation.
From special effects that increase magic rune power and resistance to magical attacks, ‘Blessing of the Dragon’ effect that greatly increases physical strength and magic recovery speed, and the amount of magic stored in the body, ‘Dragon Fear’ effect that can shrink the target when magical power is expressed. until.
Perhaps, if other holders see the effects of this rune, everyone will be anxious to have it, regardless of class.
‘And even the skill.’
However, the true value of this rune comes from its skill.
Not to mention [Shadow of Distortion], which has now become the best attack skill in name and reality, and the two derived skills [Yonginhwa] and [Dragon Breath] also show the best performance.
[Yonginhwa] is a risk-free auxiliary skill.
[Dragon Breath] is a magical attack skill with excellent destructive power.
In the meantime, I hadn’t been able to use [Dragon Breath] to the limit because I didn’t have the right spell rune.
This skill, unlike other skills, is because the process of applying magical power through incantation is much more important.
That was the reason why I couldn’t use it properly in actual combat after acquiring the skill.
‘It’s different now.’
However, now it was possible to use certain skills.
＜Villain＞ 15 common runes obtained after the sweep operation is over.
Among them, the [Florian Spell] was level 11.
Now I can use magic with spells that I am quite proficient in.
The first spell poured out like that was the [Dragon Breath] created by pouring all the mana just now.
Ku, kwaaa-!!
Awesome-!!
A breath of tremendous magical power spreads from his mouth.
And at the same time, everything touched by the breath begins to freeze.
[Dragon Breath] has a feature that the caster can determine the ‘attribute’.
The attribute I put into this breath is ice.
[Ice Antlers] An attribute that recently became available with the rune.
Although the effect of the [Elemental Master] rune could not be applied because it did not correspond to the four elements, it was an attribute optimized for blocking the attack of the blue dragon that turned the surrounding area into a sea.
The breath of cold air froze all the water and soared into the sky, leaving traces on the blue dragon Flavius as well.
“… … ?!”
“Oops… !!”
But is it because of the lack of proficiency?
I tried to aim the breath while avoiding where the master was, but it was not easy to control that level of finesse yet.
A breath of cold air passed by the master and froze her leg.
Master was taken aback by the sudden magic attack, but quickly grasped the situation and poured magic into his sword to cut the ice.
“and… .”
I was once again in awe of it.
I feel it quite a few times today, but Master’s instantaneous judgment is too fast.
At the point where other holders would have to figure out the situation with their heads, Master’s actions were already moved first.
Even though the expression looks flustered, the body moves naturally as if it expected it to happen.
I was surprised when he used his ultimate skill earlier, but his current movement was also surprising.
Perhaps these invisible abilities create the qualities of an S-class holder.
Damn-! damn-
—–!!
The cold breath finally bound the blue dragon’s wings.
Even the blue dragon, which seemed impregnable, was somehow able to tie it down by pouring all of its mana and using powerful skills.
It felt like the guy’s distance was much closer than before.
Master approached him with [Standing in the Air] and did not miss the chance.
“Hap… !!”
Her two short swords dance.
[Maehwa in Snow].
A martial art that I have seen dozens or hundreds of times while practicing.
Among the swordsmanship runes used by assassins, it is by far the best martial art.
As the name suggests, like plum blossoms in the snow, she slashed the blue dragon’s weak points with graceful movements.
From the frozen wings, to the tail that seems to have lost some power, to the center of the body that clearly reveals space.
faster, stronger.
Master attacked Flavius with a trance-like movement.
—–!!
—–.
However, the name ‘Dragon’ was not so easy.
Even though he was helpless against my [Dragon Breath] and master’s all-out attack, he did not lose his will to resist.
All the ice clinging to the wings broke, and in an instant, Flavius’ movement became free.
—–!!
And again, a terrifying, silent scream.
I wonder if a pterosaur would make a sound like this if he tightened his voice to the fullest.
Besides, this scream was no ordinary scream.
[The heavy fear of the absolute runs through my body! The calm mind of ‘Myeonggyeongjisu’ is shaking.]
The overwhelming atmosphere of the first time you encountered Flavius flows through your body.
I am well aware of this effect.
The special effect included in my [Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride] rune, ‘Dragon Fear’.
However, its power and performance were so outstanding that they were incomparable to mine, and the entire dungeon shook and vibrated at once.
Fortunately, I was able to be free from fear because I had the [Myeonggyeongjisu] rune.
Although shaken for a while, I quickly regained my physical condition.
‘Master… .’
However, Master, who was facing Flavius, was the problem.
Master must have his own runes or skills to resist status ailments, but Blue Dragon’s ‘Dragon Fear’ ignored all such countermeasures.
It is an effect that cannot be easily resisted, no matter how high the mental level is, if it penetrates even for a short time to the [Myeongkyung Index].
Because of this, Master was in a state of ‘fear’ for a while and stopped.
And in this situation.
Being unable to move even for a second meant that it was a very fatal crisis.
—–!!
Flavius’s tail flies at Master.
At the same time, five water cannons rain down on her from the other direction.
A blow that combines a combination of physical and magical attacks.
It is a mysterious technique that is possible because all abilities are ‘dragons’ that are close to the limit.
As it is.
I didn’t know that Master would be hit at a very dangerous level.
“Rush.”
so.
I didn’t leave it as is.
I use the ultimate skill that I have been preparing since I used [Dragon Breath].
[Shadow of Distortion].
A skill that uses the ancient magic ‘blink’ to reach the target, then reduces all durability to the next attack and inflicts 100% physical attack.
I set the target of this skill not to Flavius, but to Master.
You can get closer if you use it against Flavius, but it’s difficult to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
However, if you use it against Master, you can block his attack and counterattack at the same time.
‘The water line is clogged.’
In an instant, you reach Master’s front.
and that moment.
The streams of water flying towards Master suddenly lose their power and fall to the floor.
Another effect of [Shadow of Distortion].
By distorting the space and arriving at it, it was an effect that instantly disrupted the magic array at that point.
It doesn’t mean much when using a skill for a simple assassination, but in this special situation, it acts like a kind of ‘magic interference barrier’ and exerts its effect to the fullest.
‘Arms Replacement.’
He holds [Wyvern Spear] in his hand.
In order to counter its tail attack, I needed a longer reach weapon than a sword.
And just turn around
Now, because I used the skill against my master, I didn’t face Flavius.
You can attack only by turning your body.
I used all the auxiliary runes I could use to turn my body in mid-air, and used that rotational power to stab Flavius with a strong spear.
—–!!
[Shadow of Distortion] ignores the target’s durability by 100% only for the next physical attack.
No matter how high the durability value is, if that value is ignored, even 50 strength will take a hit.
Not to mention, my strength level is now almost 120 due to the buff skills being pumped.
This was nothing short of tearing off the tail of Flavius, who had become defenseless.
—–!!
As the tail nearly shredded, Flavius struggled in agony.
and… .
“Carve a thousand petals.”
In the meantime, the master’s blow, which was relieved of fear, was added.
This is a completely new ultimate skill that I have never heard of.
If [Snowfield Yufi Nakhwa] is her ultimate skill for her dagger technique, this time it seemed like an extreme ultimate skill that could be used in secret arts.
If I had to compare…
Maybe it feels similar to my [Secret Magic] ultimate skill, [Knife Rain]?
Of course, its destructive power was not comparable.
—–!!
Shuk- Shuk- Susak-
Pababat-!!
Dozens of daggers sprout from Flavius’ body.
as expressed
The daggers didn’t ‘stick’, but ‘sprouted’ from his body.
A myriad of daggers came out in reverse from all over the guy’s body.
It didn’t match the brutal appearance, but it was like a flower blooming.
Shuuu-
Kwaaang!!
With that, the battle was over.
Flavius, who had already been hit by my [Dragon Breath] and Master’s [Snow Midsummer Flower], collapsed with all counterattacks failing.
Its heavy body fell from the high sky and roared.
“oh! reappearance!”
… And my body fell off too.
A state of complete ‘power exhaustion’.
Because he poured all his energy into it, he didn’t even have the magic left to use [Levitation].
Master quickly used [Standing in the Air] and accepted my body.
so we
From entering the dungeon to attacking the boss…
After a ridiculous fight, he slowly descended to the ground.
* * *
“Jaehyun always surprises me.”
after all battles are over.
Master looked at me with curious eyes and said,
“hahahaha… .”
I smiled shyly and scratched my head.
… Even if I think about it, it makes no sense.
A B-rank holder who shoots breath with his mouth, ignores status ailments, teleports to Blink, and uses a spear to strike a dragon… .
If you don’t look at the situation and just listen to the words.
It’s an absurd story that deserves a slap in the face for not talking bullsh*t.
But anyway, the rune is the holder’s personal privacy.
Master was more like a knife to this than anyone else, so I didn’t ask more about my abilities.
“Now… Is it over?”
The corpse of the massive Flavius.
Then, looking at the devastated surroundings again, I asked.
Master also nodded at my words.
“yes. There’s no such thing as a monster other than a boss. maybe… ”
But then.
I couldn’t hear Master’s continued words.
It was because of the information window that suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
[You won the duel! However, since he won the duel with the ‘alter’, only half of the victory is recognized. Rune Hunter’s arcane power allows him to duplicate one of his opponent’s runes. With half a win, the rune to be duplicated is chosen randomly.]
[The ‘Traces of the Balaur’ rune has been selected. Since it is a Legendary rune of Max level that cannot be leveled up, its grade will not decrease when duplicated.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquire 6 each of Magic and Spirit according to the rune’s tendency.]
[Rune Hunter]’s reward message that appeared without fail.
However, the content was a little strange.
‘Alternative body… Say?’
A duel with the alter ego.
And half win.
In an instant, incomprehensible phrases hit my head.
and.
“nice to meet. You qualified people.”
A sweet voice resounds.
As soon as I turned around, a woman was walking towards us.
The one I saw earlier on the scales of Flavius…
brilliant blue light.
She was a mysterious and mature woman with that light in her hair.
“ah.”
And I immediately recognized her identity.
The contents of the ‘alter ego’ that appeared in the information window.
And the hair color is very similar to the scales of Flavius.
At this level, it is more difficult to infer.
‘That’s right.’
… Somehow, for a dragon, it was easier to catch than I thought.
