I Got the Academy Morale Rune - I Got the Academy Morale Rune chapter 45
EP.45 Class C Holder Upgrade (4)
Undiscovered Dungeon, Hobgoblin Village.
I don’t know much about this place.
I remember that this dungeon was a hidden piece that was mentioned so lightly, and there was no particular information in the setting book.
I came here only to see that most of the monsters in the dungeon are grade C.
Because I thought it was the most suitable dungeon for me at my current level.
‘Besides, if it’s a B-class boss, it’s worth trying.’
I looked at the opponent in front of me.
A hobgoblin chief who wants to sharpen an ax at me with a bitter look.
He is the only B-class monster in this dungeon.
It is said that B-class monsters can be hunted in a standard way when five C-class holders usually gather.
But that’s a story when it’s a general calculation.
If the monster you are dealing with is not a group, but a single entity, and the type of holder you are dealing with is a warrior type.
Depending on the circumstances and variables, it is possible to hunt a B-class monster even with a C-class holder alone.
And I…
He was a C-class holder with more ‘variables’ than anyone else.
-Ker, uh… !!
“The bastard called the boss has the same cry.”
Hobgoblin chieftains are dressed similar to hobgoblin warriors.
A shield in one hand and a weapon in the other.
The only difference was that the warriors were holding swords, and the chieftains were holding axes bigger than their forearms.
So I hit the sword.
I immediately raised the [Simmering Flame].
The result of hunting for several hours here.
Hobgoblin warriors were extremely weak against magical attacks.
-Keruuuuuuuuu!!
The effect was quite good.
The hobgoblin chief, who was immediately hit by a fire-type magical attack, screamed and took a step back.
If it’s a B-class monster of the warrior series.
Maybe you have a higher physical ability than me.
The speed seems to be slow, so the strength and durability must be high.
In that case, I only use physical bumps as tanking.
Dealing with an attack using magical power is enough.
To play the role of both a tanker and a dealer by yourself.
My stats and runes are also different from before.
Now I was a Bruiser who could use magic attacks as well.
-Keruk, Keru… !!
The hobgoblin chief screams and runs again.
It was an urgent situation, so we bumped into weapons from the front, but I don’t have to accept a head-to-head match because I have less muscular strength than him.
It is enough to counter the attack for a short time and then face it again with a magical attack.
I used the trick of [Leading Swordsman] and gently slammed his ax down.
no.
tried to accept
“uh?”
I was stunned for a moment.
It was because my sword, which was about to gently flow away as I hit his ax at an angle, suddenly started to rust like an old sword.
familiar sight.
situations you have ever experienced.
It’s like an evaluation at the end of the semester.
The [corrosive powder] that Kim Hyo-won used… ?
“crazy!”
A situation where there is not enough time to dodge or raise a shield.
I immediately used [get hard].
Through the corroded sword, his ax rode into my body.
“Turn it off… !!”
Even if it was hard, it hurts.
The durability doubled in an instant prevented the guy’s ax attack once, but he couldn’t even stop the ax from getting stuck in his body and bleeding.
I took a step back, enduring the pain that had dug into my shoulder.
‘I don’t think I wrote an item.’
I didn’t use [corrosive powder] like Kim Hyo-won.
He had an ax and a shield in his two hands, and his intelligence wasn’t high enough to even use items for goblins in the first place.
[Simple Curse] probably used by goblin shamans.
There was a high probability that it was a certain magic inherent in it.
Considering the name of the Hobgoblin Chieftain and the boss, of course he could use magic, and it was clear that his level was quite high.
‘Corrosion debuff isn’t universal, but… ‘
[Corrosive Powder] or its related runes cannot corrode all equipment.
If that was the case, no matter how much it cost, the holders would have used it as a must-have item.
It does not corrode easily even if the item grade is slightly increased, and there are more ways to stop him than expected depending on the holder’s personal ability.
But now, most of my equipment is normal grade.
There is no other way to prevent corrosion.
He was in a situation where he had to stand still under his spell.
“Still, there is no way out.”
I roughly poured a potion on my shoulder and looked ahead.
He has already experienced several battles in such a desperate situation.
Now whenever I come across a situation.
A solution pops up in my head like a conditioned reflex.
“Suck!”
I fired the [Quarter Knife] with four daggers at the waist.
A hobgoblin chief holding a shield at the same time.
He also seems to have a decent [Shield] rune level.
Despite reaching a certain level, my [Quarter Knife] was completely blocked by his shield.
But this is a kind of fake attack.
It was meant to attract attention.
I’m looking for the gap between them.
I rushed towards him in an instant with [agile movements].
‘You can’t fight.’
He still lacks strength, but he can’t hit him with [Fighting], which is not up to the level.
You have to use your sword and magic somehow.
Only then can you give him a valid hit.
Turn to the side of the guy with the shield.
And he stabbed the sword in his left hand.
-Keruk!!
After confirming my entry, the Hobgoblin Chief opened his eyes wide.
He once again used a corrosive-related curse.
The speed of the curse is fast, and the strength is sufficient.
A sword that corrodes quickly.
It turned into powder at a speed that was futile.
‘Eat it.’
But I had a gut feeling of success.
already in my right hand.
Another sword was in place.
– Keruk?
“I knew this and prepared more than 10.”
Instantly raised [Scorching Flame].
The trick of [Wave Sword Method] used when stabbing a sword.
My stab, a combination of physical and magical attacks, pierced through the guy’s high durability and gave a huge blow.
– Ker uh… !!
The hobgoblin chief stopped by a momentary blow.
I didn’t miss the gap.
In succession, he used [Declaration of War], a derivative skill of [Intimidation].
This is the debuff effect that I saved until the end.
After the big blow, it took 3 seconds of fear.
The sword embedded in his body corroded again, but…
I was relaxed.
“This is a mass-produced sword, you bastard.”
Still in my magic bag.
Ten more swords remained.

[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. Simple curse (can’t be selected) 2. Ax (can’t be selected) 3. Shield (can’t be selected) 4. Strong power (can’t be selected) 5. Defense by bullets]
[You have chosen Bullet Defense. Since it is a level 5 normal rune, the level will drop, and it will be registered as level 3.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquires 1 Durability with rune inclination.]
The hobgoblin chief fell to my sword.
After one valid hit.
He constantly tried to corrode my weapons, but the countless pieces of equipment made by Choi Yu-min were enough to stop him from breathing.
As expected, the rune he was using was [Simple Curse].
If he has one patch…
The point is that he did not use any other magic because he was concentrating on corrosion.
[Simple Curse] used by previous hobgoblin shamans, there were various spells such as ‘weak’ and ‘slow’.
If such spells were used in battle.
My win and loss may have been different with him.
“… Would you like to be the same?”
Actually, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference.
Anyway, considering the level of corrosion was excellent, his rune level must have been quite high.
“Still, I got a shotgun defense.”
Unfortunately, it is not that there are no runes to be acquired.
A typical common rune of warrior-type holders.
[Meat Defense].
This rune, which supports durability, seems to have a good synergy with [Lizard’s Scale].
In addition, by acquiring this rune, the durability value is obtained by 1.
Finally, the durability stat reached 30.
As a result, my main physical abilities are strength, speed, and durability.
All three stats were over 30.
“Let’s see… Rest room… .”
Two hobgoblin warriors and a hobgoblin chieftain.
Having gathered all their by-products, I entered the chieftain’s house and searched the rest room.
There is a rest room in the boss room of every dungeon.
Another room to rest and earn rewards.
This is still an undiscovered dungeon, so I was able to monopolize the rest room’s rewards.
“… … .”
But something is strange.
I searched the chieftain’s house for a few minutes…
Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find the rest room.
“Eh, ah- don’t be kidding me, really.”
clearing the trembling voice.
I calmly searched the chieftain’s house again.
Start with a room that looks like a master bedroom and living room.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and even rooms of unknown purpose.
I searched all the rooms.
… But no.
There was no rest room.
“no. Are you really not?”
Isn’t this supposed to be an undiscovered dungeon?
A dungeon that was already attacked before I came?
Maybe if my memory is correct.
It must have been an undiscovered dungeon that had never been attacked… .
A moment of confusion and confusion.
– Keruk?
“… … ?”
To the boss room where all the attacks have been completed.
A goblin appeared.
The appearance was significantly different from the existing hobgoblin monsters.
There were no weapons held by warriors or archers, nor did they look like shamans.
A goblin monster that wasn’t ready for battle at all.
More than anything…
“What is that?”
Above all else, his body is covered in gold.
He is carrying something like a treasure bag on his back.
He was dressed too luxuriously to be considered a goblin.
Eyes blinking with a stupid face.
“… … .”
It was a golden goblin.
