I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.73 Snake-covered forest (7)

transition.

The transfer of a particular idea or substance to another object.

Usually, it refers to an additional occurrence after manifestation, but the current metastasis seemed to refer only to ‘the phenomenon of throwing away the old body and acquiring a new body’.

Right away, the body where the Imoogi of the Wilderness appeared for the first time became an old tree and rotted, and it appeared as a new body behind us.

‘It’s not a rune.’

As far as I can remember, there was no rune with this special ability.

In addition, when the dungeon information displayed in the information window was collected, it was found that the ability corresponds to the special ‘gimmick’ of the dungeon.

It’s a gimmick that changes your body at will… .

Even the opponent’s fighting ability was not measured, but such a tricky ability was definitely a bad news for us.

Kyao-!!

There was no time to fall asleep.

The Imoogi of the hills rushed forward with its head sticking out without hesitation.

Is it because I can change my body freely?

He didn’t seem afraid of a physical assault at all.

I quickly took up my shield and took the front line.

Oh-jun Kwon and Dong-wook Choi are already quite far apart.

Shin Yuna’s [Meat Defense] Ron couldn’t stand the strength of the boss.

i had to stop

‘It must be stopped unconditionally.’

The [Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] on his left hand is engulfed in magic.

A defense skill that goes beyond my limits.

It is the expression of [Iron Wall Defense].

Kang- Kang-!!

Aww!!

“Ouch, ok… !!”

“Do Jaehyun!”

However, the opponent is a boss monster of at least A-level or higher.

It wasn’t the end of just blocking physical attacks like a normal battle.

It prevented the head-butting head-butting, but it couldn’t even defend against the magical attack.

‘Earth!’

He used a land-based magical attack that uses the land.

My defenses were shattered by the sudden rift of the ground, and his tail slammed into my back with a sharp speed.

Because of this, I fell like a fall to the personnel in the rear.

Kang Joo-yeon, who was preparing for magic, bit her lip and looked ahead.

It was as if he was about to break the Imoogi of the mountain.

‘crazy. It hurts backwards.’

Of course, I did not stand still.

The moment the crack occurs.

He immediately detected an abnormality and used [Be Hard].

Thanks to this, even though there was intense pain, fatal injuries were avoided.

It looks like this, but it’s not to the point of dying anyway.

‘not good… .’

But it was never a good thing.

I’ve already used two of the skills I have, and the thought of having to block these attacks several more times makes my head ache.

Especially the gimmick of the wild Imoogi.

His special ability to change his body at any time gave him despair that he had to fight again even if he defeated him.

“towel… !!”

“no!”

After completing all preparations for casting magic.

Kang Joo-yeon, unable to hold back her anger, tried to use her skill.

I hurriedly stopped her.

burn up

It was clear that he was going to use the ultimate skill [Inferno].

But now was not the time to use him.

“Not now, Kang Joo-yeon.”

“… That’s it.”

“Think sober. You are smart.”

The gimmick that Imoogi of Yasan has already shown once.

The ability to change body into an old tree at will.

I couldn’t be the only one who felt strange seeing it.

Most of the party members, including Kang Joo-yeon, Kwon Oh-jun, and Choi Dong-wook, will all be aware of it.

It’s not the end of killing the boss in front of you again.

Therefore, it was necessary to save the most powerful skill that he could use.

blatantly-

Imoogi of the wild.

His body ripped apart again, making a strange sound like a tree that had been cut down.

It was the result of the joint attack of Kwon Oh-jun and Choi Dong-wook who returned to their seats, and Min Chae-hwan’s support fire once again pouring in.

Of course, this corpse is also a cracked old tree.

It was a fake corpse that had been transferred.

“Do Jaehyun. Can you stand up?”

A boss monster who doesn’t know when it will turn into another old tree and come back.

Because of that, after looking around sharply.

Kwon Oh-jun asked me.

I hurriedly brushed off and stood up.

“Yes, no problem.”

“Imoogi of the mountain. What do you think his grade is?”

My eyes widened at the unexpected question.

After Kwon Oh-joon’s dispatch started today.

It was the first time I was asking for ‘opinion’.

“Can I answer you?”

“You’re the only one who has orthodoxically blocked his attack. There is no time. hurry.”

Kyao-!!

Did you even hear our conversation like that?

The Imoogi of the Wilderness once again appeared from the side.

There was literally no time.

I organized my thoughts as much as possible and responded quickly.

“It is a monster that unconditionally surpasses an A-class. But I think it’s vague to be an S-class.”

“iffy?”

“Yes. His gimmick is so deceptive that it just feels impregnable, but his original ability doesn’t seem to be that much. ‘Cause I’ve been through it right now. It’s between A-class and S-class, and that’s just about that level of monster.”

It is difficult to determine the exact judgment at first encounter.

If I had to ask for a grade, should I say A+ grade?

The answer was the Maginot line.

The Imoogi of the Wilderness came close and shook us again with earth-based magic.

coogong-

Kugugugu-!!

Cracks occurred in the ground in an instant, and the concentration of those preparing for magic was immediately broken.

This time, Min Chae-hwan’s arrow attack was also misaligned and the attack missed.

In the end, it was Kwon Oh-joon, Choi Dong-wook, and me who had to hunt his alter ego.

Kwon Oh-joon’s spear moved again and parted his head, Choi Dong-wook’s torso, and I, his tail.

‘Wave wave and flow together… !!’

Use the [Water Sword Method] to cut it, and use the [Wave Sword Method] to stab it.

Now you don’t have to worry about defense.

Only our attack turn.

I used the two swordsmanship runes appropriately and gave him a blow.

Swipe- choke-

collapsing again

The third fake corpse of the monster fell to the ground with an old tree.

after seeing it

The party members who had been scattered by the cracks in the ground gathered one after another.

It was too dangerous to scatter in the current situation.

“manager. It can’t be like this.”

Dongwook Choi took a deep breath and spoke.

“No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to continuing to fight like this. Action is needed.”

“The measures have already been taken.”

Kwon Oh-jun’s eyes turned to the wizard series.

“Kim Seong-cheol, and the lady. I need the strength of two people. In order to catch it, you have to sweep all the trees in this place by using both wind and fire magic at the same time. Lady, can you do it?”

Imoogi of the wild.

Its gimmick is to transfer its body through ‘trees’.

A huge amount of old trees that almost filled the inside of the boss room.

All of them must be burned.

Only then would the Imoogi of Yasan stop the transition and reveal its true form.

This was a measure that most of the party members were vaguely feeling.

“… To burn it all, it will take ten minutes.”

Kang Joo-yeon, who was quietly looking at the number of old trees, said.

She was also sensitive to always being called a lady.

As of now, I haven’t vomited him.

It was such an urgent situation.

Kwon Oh-jun nodded his head.

“That is enough.”

Kyao-!!

The scream rings again.

f*cking bastard.

Because of that guy, if I look at snakes now, I think I’ll get neurosis.

“Choi Dong-wook, Do Jae-hyun! Take charge of his attack with me! We need to hold onto him so that the wizards don’t break their concentration!”

“All right!”

“Protect the rear personnel with Shin Yuna and Min Chae-hwan!”

“yes!”

10 minutes.

We had to buy 10 minutes until Kim Seong-cheol and Kang Joo-yeon burned down all the trees in the boss room.

Thus, the endless battle with the Imoogi began.

Kyao-!!

Boom, woohoo!!

Bump, jerk-

wacky… .

fourth, fifth.

Sixth, seventh, eighth.

Old trees fall to the ground like felling.

It was the result of hunting the Imoogi in the mountains that continued to transfer.

And, in return, we too are exhausted.

‘There is no end.’

It was close to hell to have a hand-to-hand battle with him for 10 minutes.

Even if he’s not an S-class monster, he’s definitely an A-class monster or higher.

In addition, it is a balanced boss that properly utilizes physical and magical attacks.

I almost lost my life several times due to his anomalous land-based magic, and his massive physical attacks made my body to pieces.

‘It hurts and I’m behind.’

I’m really going to die.

Screaming as if his whole body was torn apart.

It is surprising that the body that has been beaten can be suppressed, and the [Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] is almost on the verge of being destroyed.

Kwon Oh-jun and Choi Dong-wook, who played the lead together, were also not normal.

It was evident that everyone was tired.

Tap, tap, tap-.

Whoops-.

“I almost burned it… !!”

But it was by no means a meaningless battle.

Kang Joo-yeon and Kim Seong-cheol, who clearly cast magic during the time they earned, were burning all the trees.

fire and wind.

The magic of the two people, who have a good synergy, caused a huge fire and heated up the entire boss room.

‘It’s like a wildfire.’

The inside of the boss room that looked like a mountain or a forest.

All their old trees are burning…

It felt like watching a wildfire.

“Tee, Chief!!”

Meanwhile.

Min Chae-hwan, who was firing from the rear, shouted.

It sounded like he had discovered something very dangerous.

Anxiety pervades

Our gaze was turned forward at once.

self-

Sususu-!!

“What… hey, that one.”

The wizard-type forest fire operation was a success, and thanks to this, the Imoogi of the Wilderness was pushed into a corner.

If all the old trees in the boss room were burned like this, his battle could only become at a sharp disadvantage.

From then on, the guy stopped transferring.

It was as if he thought that there was no meaning in changing his body further.

So far this has been as planned.

Because it was a plan to reveal his body.

‘The remaining trees… Transform?’

But then he did something amazing.

A few trees remain at the end of a huge fire.

Shape all those trees…

It showed the deformed ability to transform into a ‘wooden snake’.

dozens?

No, hundreds?

There were only a few trees left, but there were countless wooden snakes that were cut into small pieces.

And those wooden snakes.

What flew to us as a kind of magical attack.

It was a really quick thing.

“Suck… !!”

I used [Sprint] as it was and ran frantically backwards.

There was no strength in his body, but he had to move somehow.

It’s not just to run away from this attack.

All party members are equally dangerous to such anomalous magical attacks, but…

The weakest target is something else.

The party members who are casting magic from the rear and burning the trees in the boss room.

It was Kang Joo-yeon and Kim Seong-cheol.

‘You have to protect the rear.’

They wouldn’t even have time to deploy [Magic Shield].

I wonder if that will stop these wooden snakes, though.

Anyway, you have to keep them.

With that single thought, I ran and ran again.

That relentless [running]…

Before the crippling wooden snake attack hits.

He led me to the place where the party members in the back were.

‘But what?’

I ran with the thought that I had to protect it.

But there was no way to protect it.

My whole body became rags as if torn…

The shield is also concentrated on the durability just before being destroyed.

All I have left is an attack.

Further defense was difficult.

self-

Sususu-!!

As if the deformed wooden snakes laughed at it.

It turned the air black and ran towards us.

If you allow an attack like this…

All of the party’s operations are in vain.

There will be serious injuries, and someone may die.

‘Are you being treated like this?’

I couldn’t think of any other way in my pale mind.

Because all wooden snakes are magical attacks.

[Declaration of hand-to-hand combat] was also meaningless.

are you suffering?

That thought had to go through my head.

Truly a desperate crisis.

“… … !”

that greeted me in it.

not death.

There were five information windows.

[A sword that shines even more in a battle that is likely to break! Your sword and water reach a level that is unshakable. The understanding of running water and ripples increases rapidly.]

[The level of the ‘Wave Swordsmanship’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Running Swordsman’ rune has risen.]

[The limit on the use of the ultimate skill ‘Wave Sword’ is lifted.]

[The limit on the use of the ultimate skill ‘Living Sword’ is lifted.]

No need to read it all.

There was no room for that.

only one sentence.

[Running Swordsman] The level of the rune has risen.

That one sentence was enough.

Gives strength to the sword held tightly.

And bit your lips like they’re about to burst.

I sang with all my might.

“Flow.”

from that moment.

Dozens of wooden snakes were no longer my opponents.
