I Got the Academy Morale Rune - I Got the Academy Morale Rune chapter 72

EP.72 Snake Covered Forest (6)

-The number of dungeons is more than the stars in the sky.

This is a saying left by the explorer Holder, who was once famous as a dungeon excavator.

A confrontation between the monster and the holder arose, until now.

Countless dungeons were discovered and attacked, but…

There were still many undiscovered dungeons, and even at this moment, someone was registering a new dungeon with the association.

This is the reason why explorer holders who still want to find undiscovered dungeons and take a share are popular.

‘There are as many types as there are many.’

There are many different types of dungeons.

There are many cave types like the academy underground dungeon that I first attacked, but there are also forests, mountains, seas, deserts, and even villages…

As the holder said that there are more dungeons than stars in the sky, there are so many different types of dungeons in the world.

Moreover, in the second half of the original story, there were times when heterogeneous races communicating with humans appeared in the dungeon.

… Whether or not they should be viewed as monsters is a secondary issue.

“Anyway, if the forest is covered with snakes, the attack time is on the short side.”

Choi Dong-wook, who was sitting on a tree, said while checking the equipment.

At my request to make things easier.

He was talking lightly with me.

“Even if it’s a dungeon in the form of a bush?”

“If you don’t get lost, you’ll get to the boss room in no time. The length of the bush-type dungeon itself is shorter than expected. Well, even with that in mind, we attacked it too quickly.”

A B-class dispatch party within 5 hunting teams.

Except for Yuna Shin and me, is it because the party is made up of so many elites?

We finished the hunt so quickly that the word ‘super-speed’ suits us.

Inwangsan Field is about 1 hour.

The snake-covered forest lasts about 3 hours.

4 hours total.

Since the dispatch mission started at 2pm, we arrived at the boss room just around 6pm.

Even for a dungeon with a short attack time, considering that the average attack time is 8 hours, the attack speed was definitely surprising.

Because of this, party leader Kwon Oh-jun also declared a break.

Before entering the boss room, it was a brief maintenance time.

“Where were you last time? Was it royal? Among the dungeons we attacked there, there is a desert form, and it took over a week.”

“Does it take that long?”

“The range of the dungeon is too wide and it’s hard to find the boss room. When you go to a place like that, what do you need to prepare for camping? Divide the time period by commuting or attack.”

Actually, that’s all I know.

Probably, I know much better than Dongwook Choi about the types and types of dungeons.

However, if I do this, I wondered if I could learn how to use assassination-type runes from him even a little bit, so I just answered useless talk.

It was a pity that my assassination runes, which can only be used with throwing skills, were used.

Anyway, thanks to the conversation on a topic that everyone knew, I was able to receive a brief education on dagger technique.

“I prefer to use a short sword rather than a dagger.”

“A short sword?”

“uh. The biggest drawback of daggers is that their weapon reach is short, but using a short sword covers that to some extent. The unique fast speed of daggers, while maintaining its strengths, reduces its weaknesses.”

“Aha… .”

“So, there are people who call this short swordsmanship. Of course, it is a weapon skill that corresponds to a dagger rune in terms of system.”

The academy taught me how to use a dagger.

And, as Dongwook Choi said, the shortcoming of the reach was revealed, and for that reason, melee physical attacks turned to two-handed swords or one-handed swords.

‘At that time, the professor didn’t even mention the short sword… .’

Even with the same B-grade hole, there is a huge difference in level.

The professor and Choi Dong-wook at the time were just like that.

It was the reality of the Korean assassination series, which was evaluated as exceptionally weak.

It would be perfect if only Choi Dong-wook came to the academy as an instructor.

“Then are there any swordsmanship runes in short swordsmanship?”

“Of course it is. There are no standard normal runes like Samjae Swordsmanship, but if you go to the rare runes, there are good derivative runes. I have one too.”

My eyes lit up at those words.

In other words, if you defeat Dongwook Choi in the duel, you can acquire the corresponding rune.

Rune information is tacitly secret among holders, so I don’t know the details, but imagining his appearance in battle, it was clear that it was a fairly useful rune.

‘Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to win… .’

Assassin-class B-class holder.

Among them, Choi Dong-wook seems to have a fairly high level.

I’m a lot stronger than other C-class holders, but I wasn’t sure of a win against him.

Still, if the ultimate skill limit is lifted and if we endure somehow, won’t we win at least once?

＜Judgment of Fire＞ It was the first time I had a tangible goal after joining the group.

“I think everyone has had enough rest, let’s go slowly. You must stop looking at those damn snake bastards.”

Kwon Oh-jun got up from his seat and said.

The other party members also got up after finishing maintenance.

Now it was really time to enter the boss room.

* * *

“… tree?”

As soon as I entered the cave, I felt it.

The point was that this boss room did not look like a cave at all.

The muddy soil that I had been constantly stepping on in the dungeon was occupying the ground, and various trees stretched out from the inside to the ceiling.

Feeling like an underground forest?

In addition, the shape of the trees was a little unusual.

The pillars are much thicker than that of a normal tree, and there are few twigs.

In particular, there were no leaves that should have been left open at the end, so I couldn’t see the green color even after washing my eyes.

They were barren trees.

“Huh- it feels like a brown forest.”

Sumi Lee’s commentary fits perfectly.

It has a similar appearance to a field in Inwangsan Mountain or a forest covered with snakes, but it has a ‘brown forest’ due to the abundance of old leaves without leaves.

We look out for such an unusual appearance.

Digging deeper, I approached the center of the boss room.

“The pit… There seems to be one more.”

Min Chae-hwan, who started the search from the entrance, said.

A large pit that came down when entering the boss room.

There was another such pit in the boss room.

Even if Min Chae-hwan didn’t say it, he could see it faintly through the big trees.

self-

And then.

The sound that I had been hearing for so long came to me once more.

The movement of snake-type monsters in the dungeon.

Especially when moving slowly.

Sureung-

buzz-

In line with that, the party members also took a more certain battle stance.

The rear support personnel had already raised their magic for their own attacks, and I had a one-handed sword and a shield in my hand.

The small sound of a monster presumed to be the boss and the footsteps of party members.

By the time those notes completely overlap…

Min Chae-hwan opened his eyes wide and shouted.

“coming!!”

Whoa, whoa-!!

Kyao-!!

A gigantic snake appeared from within the pit.

No, would it be right to see that as a snake?

From the big head to the flat face…

Even the leather decorated on both sides of the nape.

If you look at the upper body part, you can call it a lizard.

But that wasn’t important.

‘f*ck… What’s so big?’

As soon as I saw it, I was swearing.

Everything else aside, it’s really huge.

It has a similar shape to the A-class monster Basilisk encountered at the end of the middle part, but the size of the shape differs so much that the comparison itself is meaningless.

Even the expression “lizard” is disrespectful.

Isn’t this almost a dragon?

This boss room that formed a forest…

A snake monster large enough to cover everything.

It was truly a ‘forest covered in snakes’.

“Choi Dong-wook!”

Kwon Oh-jun quickly called Choi Dong-wook’s name.

It means to give information about the monster.

However, Choi Dong-wook’s expression was not good.

“It’s a monster without information!”

A monster that even Choi Dong-wook, who is quick-witted about monster information, does not know.

The look is quite familiar…

The clear name was an unknown boss monster.

In the original, ‘forest covered in snakes’ was only mentioned lightly, so I do not know the details.

I had to come face to face with the information.

“I’m alone in the front! Shin Yuna and Do Jae-hyun are towards the rear!”

“Yes!”

“All right!”

Kwon Oh-jun’s judgment was right, crying out urgently.

In a situation where it was not known whether the boss monster was grade A or S grade, it was suicidal to recklessly put the warrior class ahead.

Shin Yuna, who is weak on the defensive side, could have died instantly with one attack from the boss monster.

Kyao-!!

s, ss!!

Kwon Oh-jun immediately swung his spear and ran towards the boss monster.

A preemptive attack to gain preparation time for wizards.

Of course, it’s not going alone.

Contrary to the wizard series, the archer series, who are quick to prepare, cover fire from Min Chae-hwan and the attack of Choi Dong-wook, who digs into the flanks.

Shhh- Papak!!

Bump, jerk-

“… What?”

But something strange happened.

At least a class A monster.

An unidentified boss monster that may be an S-class…

The attack was allowed too easily.

Kwon Oh-jun’s spear filled with magical power lightly pierced the boss monster’s gaping mouth, and Choi Dong-wook’s two short swords cut through the side of the monster at a sharp speed, inflicting huge scars.

The same goes for Min Chae-hwan’s arrow baptism.

The arrow attack pierced the tail of the gnome and gave a strong blow.

‘What is this… ?’

An unexpected phenomenon has occurred.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the attacks of the three are powerful.

One Class A holder and two Class B holders.

Among them, it is an attack by key members of the party selected as the elite.

Of course you have to be strong.

However, it was obviously strange that a boss monster of unknown grade allowed such an attack in vain.

‘Besides the sound.’

The sound when allowing an attack was unusual.

All three of the attacks hit, but the sound of the weapons being pierced was definitely not the sound of hurting the monster’s body.

It’s like…

“… It’s like cutting down trees.”

“Do Jaehyun! back!!”

Dongwook Choi, noticing something, was the first to shout.

It was an urgent call to us who were seated in the back.

sususu-

Kyao-!!

I looked back.

The first giant-shaped boss monster we encountered.

A gigantic snake that fell without a pulse from three physical attacks.

They were occupied behind us.

“ah… !!”

And I immediately realized why.

A large old tree that sat right behind us.

The old tree had disappeared.

old tree.

It was transformed into a boss monster.

‘f*ck. It’s a gimmick.’

The guy was a gimmick boss.

Just as expected.

The snake monster that was attacked first became another old tree.

It changed the body that was attacked first with an old tree, and then penetrated another old tree to create a new body.

The preemptive attack of our party with conversion was meaningless.

And an information window that explains him appeared.

[A strange energy in the dungeon is hovering over the earth. The unknown energy makes the wild Imoogi special.]

[The Imoogi of the Mountain has been transferred.]

A gimmick that allows you to change your body whenever you want during battle.

Read at noblemtl.net

Just hearing it makes me angry.

It’s a very f*cking gimmick when you face each other.

Besides, his name is ‘Imoogi of the Wilderness’.

For some reason, the monster’s life with a very native scent makes him even more pissed off.

It’s obviously a very weak name… .
