306 – Rest and organizing (3)
[Sword Swallowed by Darkness] Was, as expected, the martial arts rune used by Hwang Seong-yeon.
It was hard to be sure at first because it didn’t have a name like ‘Swordsmanship’, but it has a similar structure to the [Brave Wave of Eternity] That I own.
Because it is a sword technique and legendary rune that a very famous person perfected over a long period of time, it seemed to be given such an unusual name.
“… “Good.”
The performance of the rune is good just from the description.
The martial arts power of the sword technique itself was outstanding, and nothing was left aside in the special effects.
The ability that stands out is that it is truly a legendary level martial arts rune.
But more than anything, there was something else I wanted.
“You got the boundary restraints right.”
The ultimate skill that pushed me to death in the latter half of the battle with Hwang Seong-yeon, [Bound of Vigilance].
As guessed, this skill was the ultimate skill of the [Sword that Swallowed Darkness] Rune.
I have already experienced this, but this skill has endless uses depending on how it is used.
It can be used as a status abnormality skill that instantly destroys the opponent in extreme situations, and its power itself is so great that it is perfect for use as a simple attack skill.
Among the ultimate skills I possess, this is definitely a skill that can be considered the top skill.
Honestly, I kept feeling disappointed as I missed out on runes that looked like fraud at first glance, such as [Hogni’s Representative] And [Corrupted Paladin’s Faith]…
I felt like all those regrets were washed away just by acquiring this skill.
Kuhuhuh-!!
Kkiiiii-.
And while I was reading the information window.
Suddenly, aerial monsters gather around.
Familiar shape, unique appearance, and huge size.
It was the A-class monster Manticore that I had been hunting so tirelessly.
“That’s right. “They appear from the entrance to the dungeon.”
The Nest Shrouded in Clouds was a dungeon where a monster appeared right at the beginning.
I felt like it went well.
I needed someone to test out my newly acquired runes and skills, and they came to me on their own.
I just stepped on the ground, leaped, and ascended to the sky.
‘There is no need for Tyrbond.’
The purpose of this hunt is to test newly acquired abilities.
In that case, there is no need to summon Tyrbond.
If you fight with him, it will immediately lead to a dogfight that pursues efficiency, rather than fighting with a sword in a standard way.
Now, I had to fight alone in the air using the levitation effect of [Magic Dragon Boots].
Kuhuhuh-!!
Kkiiiii-.
As soon as I fly up and face the manticores, I lightly take out my holy sword and swing it.
The sword technique used is [Sword that swallows darkness].
The martial arts rune acquired this time.
Sak- Sasa Sak-!!
Kuhuh-?!
And the moment when the sword begins to cut smoothly.
Both the manticore being attacked and me using it were surprised at the same time.
‘What is this?’
The method of using magical power within the sword technique that you learn naturally is unique.
At the moment of cutting, magical power is sharply concentrated on the tip of the sword, enhancing killing power.
Anyone who knows how to use a sword and magic can do this, but the method of using the [Sword that Swallowed Darkness] Was much more detailed and neat.
‘… ‘It’s so strong.’
And it is powerful.
[The Sword that Swallowed Darkness] Exerted destructive power and wiped out the Manticores.
And only after wiping out a few more manticores was I able to figure out the trick of this rune.
‘It’s a sword technique that focuses only on attack.’
A swordsmanship to lead the opponent to the border between death and darkness.
In order to achieve that purpose, it was focused only on attack.
Although the ultimate skill, [Bound of Vigilance], Is a status ailment type skill, the abilities contained in the rune are only destruction and attack.
If my other martial arts rune [Brave Wave of Eternity] Is a balanced rune that combines speed, destruction, and softness well.
[The Sword that Swallowed Darkness] Was a rune that only brought the opponent to death.
That’s not all.
When I was intoxicated by the power of the sword and was frantically defeating the manticores, a new information window greeted me.
[Use of the Holy Sword to perfection! Your skills in wielding the powers of Sednilen the Benevolent will become much smoother.]
[The level of the ‘Sednilen’s Apprentice Agent’ rune has increased.]
[Acquire 3 divinity through rune disposition.]
As I continued to use the holy sword, my rune level suddenly increased.
Exclusive rune optimized for the Holy Sword, [Sednilen’s Apprentice Agent].
The first Myth rune I acquired after becoming a holder.
In fact, this rune was much more important than [The Sword that Swallowed Darkness].
◎Name: Cednilen’s Apprentice Deputy
◎Grade: Myth
◎Level: 2
◎Engraved area: Heart (duplicate)
◎Special effects
*Conditions of use: Only those who possess a specific ‘sacred object’ containing the power of Sednilen and are recognized for its qualifications can use it.
1) The divinity value and disposition of the divinity-type abilities possessed will be changed to ‘Sednilen (God of Mercy)’.
2) The ‘Representative’s Relic’ effect is always applied. The currently set holy relic is [Kelbilid’s True Repentance]. Therefore, the performance of the item increases by 10%, and you can handle it more skillfully.
◎Derived skill
[Merciful grace period]
: Consumes a large amount of divine power to grant yourself the blessing of Sednylen. When you receive this blessing, you can return the cooldown of certain derived skills (*some skills excluded) that have already been used to 0.
(*Excluded skills: ultimate skills, skills related to ability increase)
(*Cool time: 7 days)
◎Ultimate skill
[Merciful Yam Sword]
: You can gather both sacred power and magical power into the holy sword and fire it at the enemy with explosive power. It can be used in two forms: the form of focusing and then throwing it in the form of a slash (1), and the form of stabbing the target with the holy sword and then exploding it (2). When used in form 2, the power of the skill increases by 20%. If the target is a dark attribute, malicious scent, or curse type, the power increases by an additional 30%.
(*Sleep: Sleep in great mercy)
◎Details
: An apprentice agent who can wield the power of Sednilen, the god of mercy. The effects and performance of runes change depending on the type of sacred equipment you have, and as the equipment grows, the runes grow as well. As one becomes more accustomed to handling Sednilen’s power, the rank of the substitute may gradually increase.
In fact, for a mythical rune, it doesn’t seem to have much special effects.
It’s just that my Holy Alignment, which was nothing, changed to Cednylen, and the Holy Sword’s performance only slightly increased.
But from the beginning, it was important that this rune was an ‘exclusive rune’ optimized for the Holy Sword.
Just as Hwang Seong-yeon’s [Hero Slayer] Rune and [Hogni’s Representative] Were exclusive runes optimized for the magic sword [Dain Slife], Only after acquiring these runes was I able to fully handle the holy sword.
Paaat-.
—-!!
Kuhuh-?!
A large number of manticores are easily sliced as if they were raw fish.
You can’t even hear a proper scream.
‘… It’s comfortable.’
I felt that combat using the holy sword had become very comfortable.
The expression of divine power has become much smoother, and the performance of the holy sword has also increased significantly.
As if the use of the holy sword that I had been using was only scratching the surface, I was now able to handle the holy sword as freely as my hands and feet.
This is the ‘exclusive rune’ of a mythical item.
This was the real power of [Sednilen’s Apprentice Agent].
Besides….
“Isn’t this derived skill a dog scam?”
Without even realizing it, admiration comes out of my voice.
Derived skill [Merciful grace period].
Even though there are skills whose cooldown is limited to 7 days, you can set the cooldown of an already used skill to zero.
What kind of fraud skills are there?
Things that immediately come to mind include overlapping use of [Accel Piercing], Double [Dragon Breath], Creating an ocean around the area with [New Wave], Etc….
Infinite ways to maximize my combat abilities came to mind.
It was this rune that possessed the magic skill that only then did I understand the word ‘power’.
And finally.
“Sleep in great mercy.”
Kuhuhuh-!!
Kiiiii!
The ultimate skill I created myself, [Merciful Yam Sword].
I gathered together aerial monsters, including manticores, and used this skill.
Not ‘Form 2’ like in Hwang Seong-yeon’s time, but ‘Form 1’.
The method of expression is a slash.
It was similar to the now-deleted [Divine Slash] Transforming into dozens of forms and flying around.
And at the same time as use.
An enormous amount of sacred power exploded within the holy sword, and the resulting slashes instantly swept away the surrounding area.
“… ….”
I was speechless at that ridiculous sight.
There were at least fifteen monsters of Class A or higher, and they all died instantly.
I created it myself, but it was an ultimate skill of unbelievable power.
“… Let’s go home.”
I slowly came down from the sky and scratched my head.

There was no need for further testing.
The rune rewards obtained through this strategy turned out to be of the highest level.
Of course, this is also a synergy effect of the runes and abilities I have accumulated so far, but putting that aside, the runes’ own performance was good.
“Now it’s embarrassing to even call him a true A-level holder.”
On my way back, I take a quick look at .
Endless information and gorgeously decorated abilities.
All of the abilities are over 90, and the main abilities (strength, mana, and speed) are all over 110.
He was recording transcendental values starting from his ability points, and now his abilities and rune proficiency were also progressing towards the highest level holder.
Now I can feel that I have definitely surpassed the level of an A-level holder.
And.
When I finished the short exam period and left the dungeon.
[Lee Ji-hye/Holder Association] Holder! Are you still in the dungeon? Please reply when you come out and check this text. The schedule for the ‘S-class holder promotion review’ that the holder previously applied for has finally been set!
They say even tigers will come if you tell them.
The schedule I had been waiting for for quite a long time was just around the corner.
