I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.97 Stained Rock Pile (9)

When I returned after checking all the information, Yoo Eun-seol was nowhere to be seen and only Kim Chae-eun was there.

Kim Chae-eun looked at me and asked, tilting her head.

“What are you doing for so long?”

“sorry. I was also checking the holder information for a while. Who is Yoo Eun-seol Holder?”

“You came here to do a little reconnaissance. Jaehyun woke up when you went.”

With that said, Eunseol Yoo returned quickly.

She was standing on the road over the hill.

We moved our bodies and hurried towards it.

“Forgive me for being late.”

“no. I did a little more reconnaissance than that… ”

Eunseol Yoo pointed to the rocky mountain on the right.

“If you go over there, I think it will be the boss room.”

Wow.

Unbeknownst to me, I was amazed.

After all, is there something different about the S-class holder that focuses on solos?

The direction Yoo Eun-seol was pointing was exactly toward the boss room.

The rocky mountain on the right from the highest hill in the middle.

That was the direction of the mottled rock pile’s boss room.

Since it is an assassin series, there would be no search-type runes, but it was surprising how they found out about it in such a short time.

You probably didn’t go there yourself, did you?

I nodded and asked.

“Then shall we depart?”

“yes.”

The journey to the boss room was comfortable.

The same battle composition as before continued.

After Gray Wolf and Black Wolf, another B-class monster called ‘Silver Wolf’ appeared… In our party, where Yoo Eun-seol became the main dealer, there was no risk factor.

Of course, as I was tanking in the front, my body was itching.

‘I want to check the newly obtained runes.’

[Descendants of the Barbarian King].

I wanted to quickly grasp the power of the newly acquired legendary rune.

I was curious to what extent the ‘Law of the Beast’ effect, which improves abilities when fighting multiple enemies, would be effective, and I was curious about the power of the [Frenzy] skill, which almost eliminates the penalty.

But now, it’s not a solo game, it’s a party hunt.

Eunseol Yoo has an eye to see, and it was difficult to show the full power of Rune.

It seemed that the inspection of the new runes had to be postponed for a while.

“It’s the boss room.”

Standing on the hill of the rocky mountain that came up again.

Eunseol Yoo said softly.

Just below the rocky hill.

Like a crater, a specific area was dug into space.

and its center.

Whoa-!!

Aww-!!

There was the boss of the pile of stained rocks, ‘Barg’.

Like the ‘Asena’ seen at the entrance, he had a bigger shape than a normal wolf and had a dazzling golden mane.

It has all the characteristics of the wolf monsters I’ve encountered so far.

The fangs protruding out of its jaws, the firm hide of a wolf, and claws ready to tear apart its prey.

Just look at the exterior…

It had a wild appearance that could be considered a lion-type monster.

That’s not all.

As Barg’s loud cry spread enough to make the entire rocky mountain resound, I felt my body stiffen slightly.

‘It’s out of status!’

It is similar to the [Declaration of War] of [Overwhelm] used by Grizzly Drake the other day.

My body stopped at a single cry.

It was an abnormal state predicted as ‘fear’ or ‘stiffness’.

“Is everyone okay?”

Do you have high mental levels?

Or is there a special rune?

Whether Eunseol Yoo was completely out of the sphere of abnormal status, she moved her body lightly and took care of us.

“I’m fine.”

Fortunately, I didn’t have any major problems either.

This is thanks to the special effect of [Cool Concentration].

[Cool Concentration] is a rare rune obtained from Min Chae-hwan, a spy in the Hunting Team 5 the other day.

It was a mental rune that not only aids in hitting a ranged attack more accurately, but also helps you quickly escape from abnormalities.

It wasn’t to the level of being completely immune, so even though it was stiff for a short time, the abnormality quickly resolved and I was able to move my body.

“… .”

But for Kim Chae-eun, it must have been more than a bit heavy.

Even though Barg and the surrounding wolf monsters began to rush in, he could not even use his magic power, let alone move his body.

Eunseol Yoo looked at her like that and turned to me.

“Do Jaehyun Holder, will you take care of the escort? I’ll take care of it and come back soon.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Aww-!!

The battle begins.

Barg, a class A monster, and several wolf monsters protecting him rushed in.

Eun-seol Yoo showed off the footwork skill that she had shown before, and reached Barg in an instant.

It was a move to first defeat the most difficult boss.

When I saw him, I also picked up the [Sword of the Confessor].

My mission is to escort and tank Kim Chae-eun.

It would be effective to raise a shield for escort, but there are a total of six wolf monsters attacking us.

It was difficult to block the attacks of the gnomes who were rushing from all directions, so maybe attacking them with a sword might be a better defense.

Aww-!!

The three silver wolves rushed in first.

Three out of six are silver wolves.

Two were black wolves and one was a gray wolf.

Each of the three types of wolf monsters has distinct characteristics.

All three have high physical stats, but Gray Wolf focuses on durability, Black Wolf focuses on strength, and Silver Wolf focuses on speed.

That’s why it flew to us first.

It was the three silver wolves with the highest speed.

‘Because I don’t have time to use magic attacks… .’

The intrinsic skill [Divine Slash].

Or there is not enough time to utilize other magical attacks.

The best thing right now is physical attack.

It won’t give you a big blow, but you had to control their movements with a physical attack.

I used the trick of [Leading Swordsman] to cut down the wolves.

Pavat-

Pot- sak- crispy-!

Aww… ?!

But something strange happened.

The first purpose of holding the sword was rather for defense.

He couldn’t stop the wolves from all directions while holding his shield, so he held up his sword and fed him, then calmly waited for Yoo Eun-seol’s support.

I never thought in the first place that I would be able to hunt them all down with a physical attack.

‘what is this.’

But it works well.

It eats well, but it also eats well.

To inflict damage on a B-class monster, I need a ‘Magic Attack’.

My stats, which are still at the top of C-class, were insufficient to give damage by ‘physical attack’, so when hunting B-class monsters, physical attack was just a kind of tanking for defense or counterattack.

A physical attack that normally requires several attacks to become a hit.

It suddenly worked out so well.

The three silver wolves were once hit by my [Leading Swordsmanship], and then fell to the floor with a miserable cry.

‘This time with a wave test… .’

I didn’t miss the gap.

Using the trick of [Wave Swordsmanship], an additional blow of ‘Stab’ was delivered to the fallen silver wolves.

The same goes for this time.

The effect of the physical attack was clear.

The silver wolves could not withstand my sword attack and died instantly.

All that’s left are three wolves of different species.

I moved towards them like a machine.

‘The body is too light.’

It’s a strange feeling.

The speed at which you move your body and swing your sword.

The power of being stabbed by wolves.

Everything felt light and full.

My attack relentlessly drove the remaining wolves back.

With [Strike], it cuts two black wolves at the same time, and mixes magical power with one gray wolf for a moment to deliver a powerful blow.

Aww?

‘Lucky.’

Heaven helps

[Rigid Eyes], which made Red Drake into a ‘stiff’ state last time, was activated once again.

A gray wolf whose body stiffens as it is.

He had to stand still and receive my attack as it was.

I stabbed him in the stomach with all my might.

“Whew… .”

After killing the monster with the highest durability, the rest was easier.

Besides, now you can afford to use magic attacks.

I lightly raised the [Infiltrating Thunder Ki] to my sword and cooked the two black wolves I had cut before.

Just end the battle.

‘How many seconds did you catch it?’

Even if I roughly counted the time, it was around 10 seconds.

I went out as a tank to escort Kim Chae-eun, who was afflicted with a condition, but in reverse, they caught all of them.

After a short battle.

Watching your body come back to the way it was before…

Only then did I realize

‘It’s a rune special effect!’

[Descendants of the Barbarian King].

One of the special effects is ‘Law of the Beast’.

When dealing with three or more enemies alone, the effect of receiving additional stats from strength, speed, and durability was applied.

In the past battles, I didn’t know because Yoo Eun-seol was in charge of the deal and only tanking in the front, but I was able to feel the effect when I personally took a weapon and fought a physical attack-oriented battle.

‘That’s not the end.’

[Descendants of the Barbarian King] The ability to be corrected by special effects is 15%.

My strength, speed, and durability are 45, 44, and 40 respectively…

Approximately 6 stats increase.

All three stats approaching 50.

And if so…

[Intimidation]’s ability correction is applied again.

＜Rune Information＞

◎Name: Overbearing

…

…

◎Special effects

: When fighting an opponent with a lower stat than yourself, you receive 15% (Lv.3) of that stat.

…

…

[Intimidation] supports stats when fighting opponents with low stats.

Since the rune level is 3, the correction value is 15%.

It seems that my stats pumped through [Descendants of the Barbarian King] temporarily exceeded the stats of the wolf monsters.

Thanks to this, the correction of [Intimidation] was activated, and the stat increased to close to 7 again.

‘… It’s a bug level.’

Three main stats, almost 13-15 more than before.

Naturally, the body was light, and physical attacks had no choice but to enter.

‘The synergy effect is great.’

He predicted that the special effect ‘Law of the Beast’ would be good.

Because my main hunting is solo, and the stats to be corrected were the physical stats that I mainly use.

However, I did not think of the synergy with [Intimidation] at all.

After receiving the stats as [Descendants of the Barbarian King], his stats are one step ahead of him, and he receives the assistance of [Dignity] again.

For me, it was a surprising synergy effect, and for the opposing monster, it was a terrifying fraud effect.

“Do Jae-hyun holder? How did this… .”

Thanks to this, Yoo Eun-seol, who defeated ‘Barg’ as quickly as possible.

She also looked at me with a puzzled face.

He would have tried to kill the most dangerous boss monster and come for support, but the hunt was already over.

A warrior class who introduced themselves as a C-class holder and hunted six B-class monsters alone without support.

It is probably a sight that is hard to believe even if you see it in person.

“Ah, haha… .”

I scratched my head and looked at her.

It’s a pity I didn’t even touch Barg.

I just thought I’d drive the bus… ?
