I Got the Academy Morale Rune - I Got the Academy Morale Rune chapter 68
EP.68 Snake Covered Forest (2)
“Push on it! You must hunt to the end!”
Kwon Oh-jun’s voice echoes through the mountains.
2pm.
Our party, gathered at the entrance of Inwangsan Field, finished all preparations and entered the field without delay.
Inwangsan Field is a higher level field than the Bukhansan Field I went to for a C-class promotion the other day.
Most of the monsters that appear from the beginning are grade C or higher, and when you enter the middle part, there are often B-grade monsters as well.
Our party’s dispatch dungeon wasn’t that difficult for nothing.
Whoa-!!
Whoops-
The expression that it is the main residence of tigers is correct.
Most of the monsters that appeared from the beginning to the middle were tiger-type monsters.
Saber-toothed tigers and Black Tigers, as well as B-class monsters of the saber-toothed tiger series such as ‘Smilodon’ often appeared.
They are monsters that don’t throw out any special magical attacks, but it was not easy to deal with them because their physical abilities such as strength and speed were so developed.
“This battle will end without any support from the rear. Do Jae-hyeon uses magic attacks, and Shin Yuna focuses on hitting! Do not forget to tank with a shield too!”
“All right… !!”
“Move in time to answer!”
after entering the battle.
The atmosphere of Kwon Oh-jun, the party leader, has also changed drastically.
Usually playful, he was a completely different person in hunting.
Take the battle composition seriously, and put the necessary personnel in the right place.
In situations that require concentration, he definitely pushes his teammates.
In particular, Yuna Shin and I, who were the only C-class holders in this dispatch, and who were put in for the main purpose of growth, were rolled harder.
Thanks to this, my shield and sword, and Shin Yuna’s knuckles, sparked non-stop.
[Deeper, faster! The concentration in your roaring flames grows stronger. Proficiency in handling fire greatly increases.]
[The level of the ‘Scorching Flame’ rune has risen.]
[Acquires 1 magic power and 1 fire resistance with runic tendencies.]
[The depth of dealing with magical power shines even more in urgent situations. Your magic control is already at a high level.]
[The level of the ‘Magic Control’ rune has risen.]
[Acquires 1 magic power with the rune’s tendency.]
The best practice is the best training.
This word has been used over and over in history.
There was nothing wrong with the holder world.
Best colleagues, best party members.
And the best practical instructor with many years of hunting experience.
Continuing the battle with them, the growth rate of the runes was also explosive.
The hunting continued until I reached the middle of Inwangsan Field, and during that time, the rune levels of my [Simmering Flame] and [Magic Control] were raised by 2 levels to level 7 and level 6, respectively.
Although he uses weapons, he mainly takes charge of tanking through one-handed swords and shields, and the offensive aspect is the growth he has achieved because he frequently uses two runes.
‘It’s encouraging to see the magic increase.’
If there is a training that I am focusing on right now.
That is probably the growth of ‘Magic’ level and the rune level growth of [Wave Swordsmanship]/[Rune Swordsmanship].
The ultimate skills of the two runes are [Wave Thousand Swords] and [Riveting Swords].
In order to utilize these currently restricted use, the preceding prerequisites must be met.
The rune level of the swordsmanship will go up with continuous training, but the magic power level has a limit that cannot be achieved through training alone, so it was nice to see the level increase by runes.
The magical power level that has continued to rise is already 22.
Considering that until recently, it was hovering around 10.
It’s an astonishingly rapid growth.
‘The newly acquired runes… Even if there is no big gain, it is on the good side.’
A tiger monster.
Since I have brought so many runes from animal beasts, most of the runes I already have are…
There were even runes that I didn’t have.
[You have won the duel! Victory is recognized for high contribution in duels. With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to duplicate.]
[You have chosen sharp nails. Since it is a rare rune of level 11, the level has dropped, and it is registered as level 6.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquires 2 speed with rune inclination.]
[Sharp nails].
This rune was obtained by hunting the middle B-class monster ‘Smilodon’.
Most of the runes he possessed were [sleek movements], [solid teeth], and [fighting four-legged fights].
In a word, it means the runes I have already brought.
I was hoping there would be a rune like a tiger’s skin, but it seems that not all animal monsters have a defense-type rune.
‘… I wonder if there’s any use for it.’
[Sharp Nails] is a speed-based, physical enhancement type rare rune.
The special effect is to cut the durability value in half when attacking the opponent with claws.
An effect that seems to have been seen a lot.
It had the same effect as [Sturdy Teeth].
‘Beasts only get a lot of runes.’
Scales, teeth, nails, four-legged fighting…
I am afraid of becoming the real king of animals or something like this.
“OK. Both suffered.”
“Huh… Huh… thank you.”
“thank you for your effort.”
while thinking for a moment.
Kwon Oh-jun announced the end of the battle.
Looking around, I hunted down all the monsters in the vicinity.
There were mainly C-class monsters, and there were about two B-class monsters, Smilodon…
By adding Yuna Shin’s blow and my magical attack, I was able to somehow hunt.
The dealing of a C-class holder is good enough for a B-class monster if combined well.
“Wow- that’s great. Our intern is almost like a B-class holder, isn’t it?”
A muffled voice comes from somewhere.
A woman with blonde hair and a white nunnery that stands out.
It was the only divine type holder in the party, Sumi Lee.
She came over to me and suddenly touched my chest.
crazy.
Isn’t this s*xual harassment?
But her hands are dyed with a pale green light.
… It was Lee Soo-mi’s own [healing] method.
“Hey, Intern. Intern-san, are you going to use a sword and a shield as well as fire runes?”
“Yes, as you can see, it’s a multi-holder.”
“Hey- A holder who uses fire and sword together. The multi-holder is cool-”
Lee Su-mi’s outfit was unconventional as it had a dark atmosphere.
In a one-piece nunnery that reveals the breastbone subtly, the thigh part is also split at the side.
Her hair is blonde and she is in her late 20s.
It’s a holder that shows off your sister’s force no matter who you look at.
Such a naughty person is a divine type.
This is not the saint I used to know… .
“Lee Sumi Holder. It looks like everything has been cured, so I think you can stop.”
Also, only friends when in trouble.
Kang Joo-yeon came forward and stopped Lee Su-mi.
But somehow, his voice was colder than yesterday.
With a smile on her face, Sumi Lee took her hand away from me.
“Heh, it seems like it hasn’t gotten better yet… I’ll stop because Jooyeon says that.”
“… Shin Yu-na and Holder were also hurt a lot.”
“A- Newbies are self-medicating.”
Yuna Shin is Lee Su-mi who comes only to me for treatment with the excuse that she has the [Combat Healing] rune.
Oh-Jun Kwon is also a warrior, but the team leader is an A-class holder and has great abilities, so he doesn’t get hurt easily.
“Stop chatting. Now we have to enter the dispatch dungeon in earnest. Everyone get a little nervous. After entering the dungeon, everyone is ready for battle.”
Kwon Oh-jun cleaned up the cluttered atmosphere of the party.
After breaking through the entrance and middle of Inwangsan Field, we arrived at a large rock.
It was two rocks that overlapped with a small rock next to it.
Kwon Oh-jun approached the rock and pointed to the gap where the two overlapped.
“At the end of this gap is the medium of the entrance to the dungeon. I’ll go in first, so follow me right away.”
So, starting with Kwon Oh-jun, the party members entered the dungeon one by one.
A forest covered in tentatively named snakes.
It was the dungeon that was the destination of this dispatch.
* * *
[You have entered the dungeon.]
[The unpleasant energy of the dungeon slightly lowers the holder’s speed and spirit.]
The ‘forest covered in snakes’ was literally a forest.
I’ve seen the ‘Hobgoblin Village’ before, but not all dungeons are in the form of caves.
Sometimes it is in the form of a flat land or a village like ‘Hobgoblin Village’, and sometimes it is a dungeon in a forest somewhere in the mountains like this time.
I heard that there is even a dungeon in the form of a village…
I’ve never seen it before, so I’m curious.
There will be things to see while living as a holder.
“I haven’t seen any movement of the monster yet.”
The only archer in the party.
Min Chae-hwan finished the search.
Kwon Oh-jun nodded in response to his words.
“Probably there will be no monsters for 10 minutes. Because I got a report that it was like that when the search squad arrived in advance.”
With those words, our party slowly walked through the forest.
The dense forest seemed endless.
To be honest, it’s quite wide on both sides, so you might lose your sense of direction, but Oh-Jun Kwon walked in one direction without being confused whether there was a route that he had been given beforehand.
I looked around as I walked.
Shallow chirping birds and green grass.
Trees gathered together and stretched out thickly.
Even the insects that seem to have settled in the vicinity.
It was the beauty of the bush that was so bright.
“There is a robber.”
On one side of the forest, clean water was also flowing.
A fairly large sized river.
Unbeknownst to me, admiration comes out of the superb view.
A river flowing beautifully in a beautiful forest.
Unless it’s a dungeon…
It was the perfect natural scenery to come and see.
“Chief, wait a minute… !!”
But then.
Min Chae-hwan’s urgent call stopped the party.
He was kneeling on the ground on one knee.
Obviously, we decided together that there were no monsters for 10 minutes…
It seemed that something was caught in the search.
His expression, which had been slightly frowned upon, quickly distorted.
“The monsters were hiding! They seem to have runes that are not detectable.”
“What? I didn’t get such a report… Where do you come from? No, when will we meet?”
At Kwon Oh-jun’s strange question, Min Chae-hwan concentrated his mind.
He slowly patted the ground with his fingers, then raised his head and said.
“1 minute… No, 30 seconds! river! It comes from the river!”
With that said, I quickly grabbed my sword and shield and glared at the river.
Shin Yuna also grabbed the knuckle, and Kwon Oh-jun grabbed the spear lightly.
woo- woo woo-
The vibration, which was not audible at first, began to grow faster and louder.
As Min Chae-hwan said, it was only 30 seconds.
shoot ah-
oo-!!
And the outline of the monster was revealed.
Smooth skin and indigo-covered leather.
And a gigantic body boasting a great length.
2m… No, close to 3m?
There were as many as six such monsters.
As soon as the monster appeared, this time Dongwook Choi, an assassin, opened his mouth.
Among the 5 hunting team clan members, he was the sharpest member of the monster information team.
“It’s a B-class monster, Electroporus!”
Electroporus.
There are many original meanings, but…
In the holder world, it means a monster similar to an electric eel.
It was a B-class monster with a huge amount of bioelectricity and a tricky lightning-type magic attack.
It is the appearance of a completely new monster that I couldn’t find even after I washed my eyes in today’s report.
Variables occurred from the start of the dungeon attack.
All of the party members quickly prepared for battle.
I also pick up my sword and shield…
I looked at the monsters with sad eyes.
‘No, only snake-type monsters appear.’
f*ck…
Do eels also beat snakes?
