EP.44 C-Class Holder Upgrade (3)
– Keruk!
-Ker, Kerreuk… !!
The cry of the hobgoblins echoes again.
f*cking bastards.
There is no end to these guys even if they catch them.
No matter how many daggers you throw, you pierce your sword.
Even that wasn’t enough, so I lost with my fists and feet…
Only my stamina was exhausted, the number did not decrease.
Because of that, I couldn’t just do a monotonous attack.
To make hunting easier and faster.
We had to develop various attack routes.
[An arrow that sticks right in the middle! Your bow shooting accuracy is significantly increased.]
[The rune level has risen.]
The first one is [Bow].
This is the recycling of runes that had been rotted in a level 1 state.
Although I became a multi-holder by mastering various runes, the only ones that can be used as the main battle runes are [Sword], [Dagger], and [Fighting].
This is because the three battle runes are the most effective when dealing with enemies, and are a universal means of combat in the holder world.
However, when dealing with one-to-many, even C-class monsters of the same class, the use of the [Bow] is inevitable.
“Because we start eating bread from afar.”
Ranged monsters that are annoying at close range.
If you catch them first and enter, you have an advantage in battle.
To prepare for such a time, I had asked Yoomin Choi in advance.
Not only swords and daggers, but various weapons.
At first, my archery skills, which were shabby, improved little by little while hunting the endless hobgoblins.
[With strength like an iron wall. Your shield skills in blocking enemy attacks become more and more proficient.]
[The rune level has risen.]
The second is [Shield].
It is good to use [Lizard’s Scale] or the derived skill [Becoming Hard], but there are some limitations to the continuous use of certain runes and skills.
no matter how durable it is.
If you keep getting stabbed and cut, someday damage will come.
“The potion I received from Choi Arin was almost exhausted… .”
So I grew another rune.
[shield].
The core common rune of warriors who mainly take charge of tanks.
For me, along with [Bow], this is a rune I acquired as a hidden piece in the early days of the holder.
The use of [Shield] made it possible to prevent the endless offensive of hobgoblins to some extent.
I used to use a two-handed sword, but it was a little uncomfortable to use a one-handed sword because of the shield, but I got used to that as the dungeon attack and battles took longer.
[Fast and Furious Charge! Your merciless charge will cause the enemy to fall without a pulse.]
[The level of the rune has risen.]
[Acquires 1 speed with the runic tendency.]
[Burning flames, blazing flames. Your ability to handle fire will be further improved.]
[The rune level has risen.]
[Acquires 1 magic power with the rune’s tendency.]
Lastly, [Relentless Charge] and [Scorching Flame].
The growth of runes that have not been used for a while.
I was able to use these runes to my heart’s content as I hunted dungeons alone without the eyes of others.
The useful value of these two runes was greater than I thought.
“Ugh-!!”
– Keruk?
-Kerreuk!!
[Relentless Assault] ignores physical attacks when charging, so it can advance without hesitation during the first attack and destroy the opposing camp.
Charge using [Sprint], and charge into the enemy line like a bulldozer with [Relentless Charge].
in one-to-many fights.
To stab the middle of the multitude and collapse the formation…
It was a battle composition that brought a significant advantage.
Hurr-!
-Ke, Kerreuk… !!
In addition, the use of [Smoldering Flame].
Fire is set on all parts of the body and various weapons.
Using a variety of weapons in the middle of the camp, and adding magic attacks on fire…
The hobgoblins never came to their senses.
“Originally, it’s absolutely impossible… .”
Class C holder alone.
Running through a group of C-class monsters?
This is a risky activity that can be seriously injured in a normal way.
but i can do it
Because it performs both the roles of a tanker and a dealer, and its stats and runes are far ahead of the general C-class.
The use of the aforementioned runes was also appropriate.
Above all, the power of the Epic Rune [Overwhelm] was great.
When dealing with ‘enemies with lower stats than me’.
A special effect that strengthens the power of the rune holder.
Hobgoblins are C-class monsters, but all of them had lower abilities than me, so the special effect of [Overwhelming] was always applied.
So even though I didn’t put a lot of effort into it.
I was able to hunt with ease.
“Uh… My arms are all numb.”
The muscles in the left and right arms were relaxed little by little.
He fought without giving himself a break.
In addition, the use of runes that have not been used before.
I feel like I’ve been having muscle pain for a long time.
“I think it’s all over now… .”
Every time I heard the annoying ‘Keruk’ sound.
Sometimes I don’t hear
Hobgoblins, which were difficult to count, have now been sorted out.
All that’s left is the boss room, ‘The Chief’s House’.
And the boss, the Hobgoblin Chief.
If you find him and succeed in hunting.
The attack on this dungeon was over.
“… … !”
I’ve been looking for so long.
A tree house came into view.
I hurriedly hid myself as the monsters would find out.
Fortunately, there were lots of bushes around, so there were plenty of places to hide.
‘The chieftain’s house… I think that’s right.’
A tree house that looks unusual even with a pretense.
And some hobgoblins guarding it.
The chief’s house he had been looking for before seemed certain.
‘It’s a boss with guard monsters.’
The shape of the boss room is different for each dungeon.
In the previous academy underground dungeon, if the boss Grizzly Drake alone protected the boss room, there were cases where normal monsters took charge of the boss room like now.
Both have their pros and cons, but in this case, they had the disadvantage of having to deal with the bosses together.
I slowly narrowed the distance.
And to get some information…
I listened and overheard their conversation.
– Keruk! K-Luck?
-Ker, Kerr… .
f*ck.
Then yes.
That guy’s Keruk, Keruk.
In other novels, goblins can only use human language well, but I don’t understand why the monsters here can only cry.
I scolded myself for listening to such useless noises.
‘What is information retrieval.’
let’s fight
I carefully took the gear out of the magic bag.
The fighting style that has continued until now.
It was a forward attack using [bow].
‘Are you going to get a skill until you reach level 5?’
Gaeun Moon’s [Extreme Shot] or [Triple Power Shot].
I don’t even want such flashy skills.
If only [one point shot] was given, the usefulness of [bow] would be much higher.
Rune growth and skills are generally related to the holder’s talent, so I wasn’t sure when the skills would come out.
The [Strike] of the [Sword] that I acquired at level 3 is also obtained at level 5 for ordinary holders, and level 7 or 10 if the holder is not too talented… There are even holders who cannot acquire skills for the rest of their lives.
In that respect, I, who has already acquired 7 derived skills, might be a surprisingly talented holder, as Professor Myung-Hyun Kim said.
Of course, like [Declaration of War] or [Poison Claw].
There were also special cases with skills from acquiring runes.
Snuggle-
with a little tension.
Slowly pull the string of the bow.
Arrows and strings were pulled and made a peculiar sound, but because of the distance, the hobgoblins didn’t seem to notice my attack.
There are two hobgoblin warriors guarding the front of the house.
Among them, the target of this attack is the left.
The target area is the head of the gnome.
If only I could hit it.
It’s a battle that starts by grabbing one guy.
‘now… !!’
The protest was held with a percussion sound.
I realized it the moment I lowered the bow.
This aim is…
It was the most perfect [bow] attack in my battle today.
[One hundred and twenty! The accuracy of your archery pulling the string will increase.]
[The rune level has risen.]
-Kerreuk, Kerreuk!!
[Bow] with the sound of the rune level rising.
The hobgoblin on the right jumped and screamed.
It looks like a comrade was instantly killed by an arrow and was angry.
I charged with [Sprint] without paying any attention.
[Relentless Charge].
A special effect that ignores all physical attacks when charging and pushes the opponent back with twice their strength.
The remaining hobgoblins raised their shields and tried to stop them, but they couldn’t stop my push, when my strength reached 70.
-Keruk?!
A hobgoblin warrior who floated in the air at my knockdown.
I didn’t wait for him to fall to the ground.
With him floating in the air.
As it was, I turned my arm to the side and gave it a hook.
Aww-!!
If you could use your elbow to volley, what would it feel like?
My elbow hook, aided by [Fighting], turned the man’s chin and made him slam his entire body into a tree.
It doesn’t end there.
“Suck… !!”
The cool feeling of the cutlery from the back.
There was intense hostility and murderous intent.
I pulled out the sword behind my back in an instant.
He turned his body as if turning to face the sensation.
Kagang-
Chae Aeeng!!
My sword collides with a large axe.
There was a difference in strength, so I struggled quite a bit, but…
It wasn’t completely pushed back.
I chuckled.
“Are you too slow for a surprise?”
The last enemy standing in my way.
A monster looking at me with a very harsh expression.
The boss of this dungeon.
He was a hobgoblin chief.
