305 – Rest and organizing (2)
A head-on clash with the Ludenarch School.
And the eradication of Hwang Seong-yeon, the worst criminal in the country.
After that, the domestic holder world entered a lull.
The academy, which had been temporarily closed due to the kidnapping of a student, announced the resumption of classes, and each clan and holder association also announced that they would continue their normal activities.
Of course, the Ludenarch School has not been completely eradicated, and not all incidents have ended neatly, so Is still in progress.
However, the form only changed through sequential attacks by clan under the supervision of the Holder Association.
“… “I ran too far.”
In fact, the domestic holder system has been running without a break so far.
Starting with the former villain clan’s attack on the academy and the large-scale sweep operation, And the rise of the Ludenarch School, the attack on the adaptors’ dungeon , The kidnapping of Holder and the ….
When one incident occurs, another incident occurs.
Even when things seem to be resolved well, something happens again.
Because so many huge incidents occurred one after another, the Holder Association, each clan, and even individual holders and the general public in the country.
Everyone who heard the news was feeling tired.
“I can finally get some rest.”
In that sense, the little rest given now was like a sweet rain in a drought.
I, too, had been running non-stop for so long that I was feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
Is that why?
-Our clan will be taking a break for three days starting today.
Extraordinary general meeting within the Clan held yesterday.
Here, I also declared a ‘three-day unconditional rest’ to all clan members.
This was an idea to give a rest to the clan members who had been running since its creation, but in fact, it was also because I just wanted to rest.
“First of all….”
I declared a break, but there is still a lot of work to do.
We need to discuss with the president of the association the future schedule for , And we also need to summarize the achievements of the And .
I also had to handle external schedules for our newly founded clan, and personally, I had scheduled meetings with world-renowned celebrities such as Liam Hendrix.
More than anything, time with lovers that I had been putting off because I was too busy.
I also wanted to go somewhere and have a leisurely vacation.
But am I also a born holder?
Out of all those things, what was the first thing I chose?
It was also a summary of ‘runes’.
[You have entered the dungeon.]
[The vast energy of the dungeon slightly reduces the holder’s speed.]
Enter the vast sky dungeon, .
The Nest Shrouded in Clouds is a field-type dungeon with a particularly spacious environment among the dungeons I own.
Maybe that’s why I always seemed to come here when I wanted to test out new abilities or runes.
“… Do Jaehyun Holder, aren’t you tired?”
And right next to me.
A woman looking at me with an expression of disgust.
Jihye Lee was now a fairly high-ranking employee at the Holder Association.
She was coordinating my schedule related to the association and working with me to grant daily exclusive use of the dungeon.
“For me, this is rest.”
Lee Ji-hye’s face frowns even more as she replies with a smile.
“I was hoping you wouldn’t say that….”
“hahahaha. Jihye, would you like to take a look too? “I’m going to do something fun from now on.”
“Ugh, that’s enough. “She wants to go home and rest.”
She finished all her work and left the dungeon as if running away.
I guess it’s because I remember having a hard time in While I was in charge of reviewing C-class holder promotions.
She was Lee Ji-hye, who got very upset whenever she heard that they were going through dungeons together.
“Then…” .”
Anyway, she left and was left alone in the dungeon.
I started organizing the skills I had put off.
[You won the duel! The rune hunter’s mysterious power allows him to duplicate one of his opponent’s runes. Please select the rune you want to duplicate.]
[1. Hero Slayer 2. Representative of Hogni 3. Corrupted Paladin’s Beliefs 4. Strengthening Art of the Absolute 5. Sword that Swallowed Darkness 6. Battlefield Soaked in Blood 7. Mana Control…… ]
“The problem is which one to choose.”
List of runes that can be obtained by defeating Hwang Seong-yeon.
A huge list of runes came to mind, but these 7 were the only ones that were useful, excluding duplicate runes and low-level runes.
“First of all, there is something worth excluding….”
Although the [Magic Control] Rune is an advanced rune in [Magic Control], It is not as difficult to obtain as you might think.
I currently have Tyrbond and Arth, who are my contractors, and it was a rune that I could obtain when dealing with high-level monsters in the future.
Because of this, it is excluded first.
“It’s better not to choose runes related to magic swords.”
[Hero Slayer], [Högni’s Representative], [Corrupted Paladin’s Beliefs].
When combining the existing information and the names of the runes, there is a high probability that these three runes are runes optimized for the magic sword [Dain Slife] Or are runes related to the Malicious God.
At least a legendary rune, or in some cases, a rune that may be mythical.
Normally, I would have chosen it without even thinking about it, but now I was hesitant.
“Because there is a holy sword.”
That is, I am the ‘owner of the holy sword.’
Not just an owner, but a complete user who has completed optimization by acquiring the relevant mythic level runes.
Am I choosing a rune that is optimized for a magic sword or related to darkness?
Instead of being able to use it properly, there was a high probability that it would have a negative effect on the runes related to the Holy Sword that we are currently dealing with.
Like the [Luden Arc Spell] I acquired last time, it will probably hit a bump in terms of use.
The performance of the runes would certainly be enormous right now, but I had no choice but to give up on them with tears in my eyes.
“… “Then there are three left.”
[Strengthening art of the Absolute], [Sword that swallowed darkness], [Blood-stained battlefield].
The first one is clearly an auxiliary rune.
Although it has the modifier ‘Absolute’, it is an auxiliary rune that is similar to the [Warriors’ Enhancement Art] That I own in terms of strengthening art.
So, if you obtain this, there is a high probability that it will be incorporated into a lower rune or become a duplicate rune.
Then again, the options are narrowed down to two.
[Sword that swallowed darkness] And [Blood-stained battlefield].
I was thinking about it until my head exploded…
Out of these two, I ultimately decided to choose [The Sword that Swallowed Darkness].
[You have selected ‘The Sword that Swallowed Darkness’. Since it is a level 20 legendary rune, the level is lowered and registered as level 10.]
[Acquire 5 each of strength, magic power, and speed through the rune’s disposition.]
[This rune is an evolved form of ‘Sword Shrouded in Darkness.’ Therefore, the ‘Sword Shrouded in Darkness’ rune is deleted, the proficiency of the rune is corrected, and the ‘Sword Shrouded in Darkness’ rune is registered at level 14.]
Maybe choosing [Bloody Battlefield] Would have been a better option.
Anyway, for me who owns a holy sword, the keyword ‘darkness’ may have a negative effect, and for me who already has many attack-related runes, runes that assist in battle may be more effective.
However, I judged that this rune was not related to the magic sword [Dain Slife], But was ‘Hwang Seong-yeon’s unique swordsmanship-related rune.’
He clearly showed outstanding swordsmanship skills other than with the magic sword during the battle, and this had to be recorded in some form as a rune.
“… Plus, it’s the ultimate skill.”
There is the most important reason above all else.
The final battle in .
‘That ultimate skill’ that pushed me to the point of desperation.
I really wanted that skill.
I don’t know exactly which rune the ultimate skill is registered to, but if I had to choose between [Sword that Swallowed Darkness] And [Bloody Battlefield], I thought the former had a higher probability.
For this reason, this choice was also a kind of small gamble for him.
And.
◎Name: The sword that swallowed the darkness
◎Grade: Legendary
◎Level: 14
◎Engraved area: Back of hand (duplicate)
◎Special effects
*Conditions of use: Only those who possess epic level or higher ‘swordsmanship’ related runes can use it.
1) You will be able to use the sword technique perfected by the Absolute Eldraine. This sword technique exerts its greatest power at the border between death and darkness.
2) The ‘Sword Ruler’ effect is always applied. The power of all runes related to the ‘sword’ increases by 10%, and the proficiency of related runes increases 20% faster.
3) The ‘Dark Glory’ effect is always applied, increasing rune performance by 10% in dark areas. Additionally, if the opponent you are fighting uses a dark attribute attack, 30% of the magic power of that attack is stolen.
◎Ultimate skill
[Bound of boundaries]
: Draws the target into the border between death and darkness. The first time, magic power is consumed to pull the target’s back and press it to the ground, and then the second time, 17 magic swords are summoned and stabbed into the target. This attack becomes more powerful in proportion to the magic level, and the bound target only stands on guard and never reaches death.
(*Common sense: Enter the land where death has touched)
◎Details
: A sword technique newly perfected by Eldraine, a human who conquered the world with a single sword, on the border between death and darkness. It is a sword that exerts the greatest power in places filled with darkness, but can also swallow up that darkness. Therefore, it is a special type of martial arts whose inclinations vary greatly depending on the purpose of the person handling the sword.

“… Bingo.”
The gamble paid off spectacularly.
