EP.84 Request (1)
It didn’t take long for the question to be answered.
While the cooldown of [Declaration of War] was running, there was only one rune or skill that could inflict status ailments on me.
‘Eyes of rigidity!’
Another rune reward obtained by attacking the snake-covered forest.
[Rigid eyes].
This is a rune owned by the A-class monster Basilisk, and it is a rare rune that has lower performance than the legendary rune [Petrification Magic Eye].
There is no derived skill, but it has a special effect of status abnormality that puts the opponent into a ‘stiff’ state with a very low probability if they make eye contact during battle.
In other words, Red Drake stopped by the activation of this effect.
By turning the charge of a guy that couldn’t be stopped by any amount of physical force into one with an abnormal condition, we could see how good the performance of [Rigid Eyes] was.
‘I treated it as a rune that didn’t exist because the probability was very low… .’
To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations for [Rigid Eyes].
To be honest, it was a rune that had its value by increasing its magic power by 5.
Because of the increase in magic power, the magic power level became 30, and the limit of the ultimate skill was lifted.
However, in moments of crisis, the effect of the runes appeared appropriately.
He had never appeared while hunting before.
This could be simply expressed as ‘lucky’, but…
‘In other words, his mental level is low.’
The probability of the [Rigid Eyes] special effect is affected by the rune level and the opponent’s mental level.
Rather than just passing it on as luck, I had to consider the possibility that Red Drake’s mental level was too low.
I quickly put those things in my head…
He raised his magic power to the sword he held with both hands.
A situation in which the battle target is suddenly afflicted with a status ailment.
I couldn’t pass up this golden opportunity.
“Ugh… !!”
self-
Pad-Paah-!!
[Sword of the Confessor] has a strong magical power.
The magic that had accumulated in the blue light.
It soon changed color to white.
Because the color was so clean, the magic gathered in the sword seemed to give off a noble feeling.
Then, the magic that creates a single shape.
Its appearance was in the form of a slash like a curved sword.
The moment when Red Drake’s rigidity was released and the shape was finished.
“It was a fun run, so let’s hit it now.”
The completed slash was poured on him at the speed of light.
A skill inherent in [Sword of the Confessor].
It was the manifestation of [Divine Slash].
Whoa, whoa-!!
– Whoops! ugh… !!
A slash of intense magical power hit Red Drake.
The guy who fell into a rigid state and couldn’t take a special defensive posture had to receive the intense magical power contained in [Divine Slash].
[Divine Slash] after covering magical power with divine power.
It is a skill that shoots at the opponent in the form of a slash.
It was an effective skill against the undead series or opponents who dealt with curses, but it was a skill that was highly utilized even as a magic attack like it is now.
Especially for monsters with weak resistance to magic attacks, like Red Drake, who only focus on attacking.
– Whoa… !!
After withstanding one magical attack.
Red Drake tried to strike a charge again.
But, was [Divine Slash] a pretty big hit?
It didn’t feel as destructive and intimidating as before.
I calmly grabbed my sword and glared at him.
‘It must have been because my mental level was low… ‘
That he was affected by the [Stiffened Eyes] effect.
It is highly likely that the gnome’s mental level was low.
And runes that have different effects depending on your mental level.
This wasn’t the only thing I had.
– ugh… ?
Red Drake, who was about to run, suddenly slowed down.
[Simple curse].
A rune obtained by killing the Hobgoblin Shaman.
Among those spells, it was an effect corresponding to ‘slow’.
It is one of the few spells that I learned through [Cursed Spellbook], but somehow I learned it and found it useful.
“This works.”
Since the psyche is low, a level 2 curse is also applied.
Well, it would have been very easy to attack if the divine type holder had a debuff applied to it.
– Grrr… !!
It was easy to dodge a charge with a marked drop in speed.
After avoiding the gnome’s charge through [agile movement], I slipped into his body with a light movement.
‘Magic is… Just enough to use the ultimate skill.’
Like before, I want to use lightning and fire-type elemental magic together, but I don’t have enough magic.
After entering the boss room, he used too much mana.
I left enough magical power to use [Wave Sword], and dealt with him with only physical attacks.
Kang- Kang-!!
– Whoops… !!
Hand-to-hand combat with A-class monsters was not easy.
Although he is a monster with a low mental level, his physical abilities boasted a power that could be counted among A-classes.
The solid durability did not penetrate well even with the [Sword of Confessor], and the battle itself was difficult because the strength and speed overwhelm me.
‘Still better than Grizzly Drake.’
Much easier than the previous boss, Grizzly Drake.
Because he was focused on strengthening his body with both his stats and runes, and he also possessed the [Intimidation] that made him stronger when fighting weak opponents.
On the other hand, Red Drake is a monster focused on assault.
I managed to stop the guy’s charge somehow, so it was worth it.
There were no runes related to strengthening the body, and while fighting, I felt that only the stats were high.
Besides, I have [solid endurance].
If you fight under the same conditions, it means you won’t get tired of physical strength.
Red Drake, who was going to end the battle in a quick and quick way, showed several gaps as expected as it led to a long battle.
I had the magic left to blow one shot away…
Those gaps were sure to end the fight.
“Blow up.”
qua-
Aww-!!
Instantly, the sword that was inserted into Red Drake’s neck.
A huge amount of magical power erupted from within.
It was the manifestation of the [Pasangcheongeom] that I had saved until the end.
Red Drake, who had already allowed my numerous magical and physical attacks, could not withstand the [Water Sword] with formidable destructive power.
In terms of durability, let’s say he couldn’t even reach the Grizzly Drake, let alone the Wild Imoogi… The ultimate skill, which poured all his magical energy, instantly killed him, signaling the end of the battle.
Whoops-
Only after approaching his corpse and making sure to kill him…
It felt like the long battle had come to an end.
“under… I just caught it.”
I just lay down in the boss room.
And he admittedly admitted it.
It was greed to hunt even the boss monster.
To be honest, when I first came to the dungeon, I only wanted to check the rewards of the previous attack, but the performance of the runes and items was so good that I was excited without realizing it.
I somehow managed to get it, but…
It was still difficult to hunt A-class monsters alone.
[You have won the duel! With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to duplicate.]
[1. Fast and Furious 2. Relentless Charge (Not Selectable) 3. Concentration 4. Agility 5. Lizard Scales (Not Selectable)]
The information window of [Rune Hunter] appeared as if congratulating you on your victory.
First, I noticed that there was no ‘contribution’ in the first information window.
The result of a one-on-one duel victory that appeared after a long time.
It was information that proved that he had caught Red Drake alone.
Even though it doesn’t seem like much, I feel proud.
“What is this… I have no choice.”
Without further ado, I chose [Fast and Furious].
This is because most of the options are either I own, or I already have a higher-level rune.
After seeing this rune setting…
It shows just how serious a monster he is.
All runes are focused on assault support, and there are few runes that strengthen the body.
You didn’t even have the common [fighting battles].
After stopping the charge, I could see why the battle was easy.
[You have chosen Fast and Furious. Since it is a rare rune of level 11, the level has dropped, and it is registered as level 6.]
[Acquires 1 speed with the runic tendency.]
＜Rune Information＞
◎Name: Fast and Furious
◎Class: Rare
◎Level: 6
◎Engraved part: knee
◎Special effects
: speed +1
: You can change the direction while charging. Even if it suddenly breaks or runs backwards, the rune assistance does not end.
◎Derived Skills: –
◎Details
: You will be able to run faster and more aggressively. The run full of anger continues without an end.
[Fast and Furious] is a higher rune than [Fast].
The expectation that it would be at least a rare rune was correct.
There are no special derived skills or special effects, but changing the direction during the charge or running in the reverse direction seemed to have many advantages.
Right now, even me, I was greatly embarrassed in the previous battle.
It seemed that if used well, it could lead the battle to an advantage in certain situations.
“… Let’s go home, now.”
He sighed and stood up from his seat.
I succeeded in defeating the A-class boss monster with a solo, but…
To be honest, I wonder what kind of high school student this is over the weekend.
I wanted to go home and shower and rest.
“Still, I have to dig up the magic stone.”
Now that the first attack of the dungeon is over and the rest room is gone.
The only thing that could be obtained as a material reward was magic stone.
By-products like leather would probably be quite expensive too…
There are no slaughter-related runes, so I am not confident in obtaining them properly.
Do I have to forcefully catch a duel opponent and get the slaughter-related runes?
Boo-woong-
So I was digging Red Drake’s magic stone.
The cell phone that I just pulled out vibrated.
[Moon Ga-eun]
When I checked for a moment, it was a chat from Moon Ga-eun.
It was nice to see a familiar name.
“I haven’t seen Moon Ga-eun in a while.”
It seems that I hardly saw the academy since the vacation was over.
We kept in touch, but unlike Kim Chae-eun, who went to Pohang and Daegu together, and Kang Joo-yeon, who is active in the clan, it has already been over two weeks since we met in person.
Park Jin-woo is also close by, so he used to fight often…
Among the underground dungeon party members, Gaeun Moon was the most difficult to see.
Boo-woong-
Boo-woong-
Boo woo-woong-
“Oh, look. Why all of a sudden?”
Unable to bear it, Tok came three more times.
I unlocked the lock pattern and checked my phone.
Upon closer inspection, there were four missed calls.
[Missed Call] Gaeun Moon (4)
