I Got the Academy Morale Rune

Chapter 157 – Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride (5)

It was a series of shocking events.

Ji Yoon-jae, who was a motive and a member of the 〈 Anti-Villain 〉, belonged to the 〈 Villain 〉 Clan, and prepared a surprise attack by digging a trap in this dungeon.

Even up to this point, I was dumbfounded, but after that, I was even more surprised.

In a hopeless situation with death approaching right in front of you.

Do Jae-hyeon, who was at the forefront, had a change.

A large beam of golden light poured all over him, and a dragon-shaped figure appeared for a moment from behind and then disappeared.

It was like the appearance of a ‘dragon’ that had only been heard in legends.

‘…….’

Kang Joo-yeon blankly looked at Do Jae-hyeon.

A man who changes every time and shows a new look.

When I first saw him, he was just a clumsy holder who knew how to use only one dagger, but as time passed, the number of weapons he handled increased…

Now, before I knew it, I had become a multi-talented multi-holder who could use a lot of magic runes.

What runes are in that mystical growth.

Or he doesn’t even know what power he borrowed.

However, one thing is certain.

He always tried to do his best in any given situation, and as he grew up, sweat dripped down his face.

Kang Joo-yeon, who had been watching him for quite some time, could now see the back side of his growth.

‘… I got help again.’

Another change of Do Jae-hyeon.

I don’t know what kind of power I got this time, but it’s definitely to save the party in crisis… It was a struggle with all my might.

So, even after Do Jae-hyun fully acquires his special powers.

Even after using the ultimate skill that instantly retired the enemy leader with a short command of “Rush in.”

Even after completely changing the unfavorable charter situation.

Jooyeon Kang thought.

I want to help too.

I want to add strength to his shoulders as a strong man standing side by side, not just receiving help from him.

Jaehyun Do.

No, it’s Jaehyun.

I want to become such a strong colleague that you can trust and rely on.

That commitment and determination cracked an egg.

Under the name of talent.

Kang Joo-yeon was trapped in an egg created by the mannerisms of identity.

The egg is completely broken.

And as she came out, she was soaring anew.

[I watched the sacred oath of the dragon knight and the dragon that was once forgotten by people. The power of the oath and your will mesh together. The unquenchable flame of protection that has been dormant in your heart is wriggling. The red dragon of the oath, Canales, will always be by the side of the dragon knight.]

[The hidden power of the ‘Eternal Flame’ rune is revealed.]

[Rune information will be updated with the new rune ‘Guarding Eternal Flame’.]

[Acquires 5 magical power and 5 fire resistance with the rune’s propensity.]

[You have learned the derivation skill ‘self-defense weapon’.]

…

…

[Guarding Eternal Flame].

The existing [Undying Flame] Has been updated, and a new legendary rune has been registered.

I thought it was just an epic rune of fire attribute obtained during awakening, but it turned out to be a mysterious and intense power related to the legend of the dragon.

The seal was finally broken, and she was channeling her new powers.

Kang Joo-yeon opened her eyes, which she had gently closed.

A new direction for the rune was passing through her mind.

A rune that was thought to be focused only on attacks.

Because of that tendency, Kang Joo-yeon always focused on using destructive and aggressive runes.

But that wasn’t her real power with her own runes.

A fire attribute magic rune possessed by the red dragon Canales a long time ago.

[Guarding Eternal Flame].

This was a power created to protect the dragon knights who had made an oath and take care of humans.

Kwaaang-!!

I look at the battlefield in front of me.

Do Jae-hyun defeated the enemy leader and completely changed the situation, but the situation was still at a disadvantage.

Seven of the 〈 Villain 〉 clan members, who seemed to be at least B-class holders, were still in good health, and even if he had gained new strength, it was questionable how long Do Jae-hyun, who had already spent a lot of energy in defeating the boss, would last.

Besides, Ji Yoon-jae.

He, who was briefly pushed away from the first encounter with Do Jae-hyun, saw an opportunity to attack Do Jae-hyun with a move unique to the assassin series.

I don’t know if Do Jae-hyeon noticed this, but Kang Joo-yeon, who was concentrating from a distance, could clearly see it.

In the smoke that was briefly obscured by the explosion.

Ji Yoon-jae was running towards Do Jae-hyeon once again.

In the immediate situation…

Kang Joo-yeon quietly moved her magic.

‘A self-defense weapon.’

Do Jae-hyeon is surrounded alone in a distant place.

Around him…

A shield of fierce flame that blocks hotly.

Now it was his turn to contribute.

* * *

Tada- Tada-

Roaring-!!

‘Oh, fuck. It’s a surprise.’

I almost cursed without even realizing it.

The moment he tried to make Life Myeonghun incapacitated and fight the remaining 〈 Villain 〉 Clan members.

Suddenly, flames erupted around me.

It’s not written by enemies.

The opponents were all melee, and they didn’t even show any signs of using magic.

The manifestation of magical power is on the other side.

It was magic from our party watching the battle nervously.

‘Who is it. The lead role? Senior Jiah Yoon?’

I don’t know who used the magic.

Everyone must have lost their magic power due to defeating the boss, but it was a question of how they used the magic.

Moreover, a shield of fire that burns only around me.

This was a unique form of magic that had never been seen before.

It blooms around me, but has no intention of attacking me.

Rather, magic that seems to have been created for the purpose of defense.

The flames roared and wrapped around my body, then moved freely near my chest, adjusting the height.

It was like seeing [Magic Control] And [Self-defense], A skill that can be acquired by maximizing martial arts runes.

And….

Caen-

Fire-!!

“Turn it off… !!”

There was a time when I was caught in a blinding fire.

Ji Yoon-jae.

The guy who collided swords with me earlier, and was briefly pushed away by the [Force of the exploding sword].

He took advantage of the gap where I had been fighting Goo Myung-hun and launched a surprise attack, but he was blocked by the fire that appeared out of nowhere and fell out.

Although the shield of fire is an aura composed of magic, it effectively blocked all of Ji Yoon-jae’s physical attacks.

‘What the heck.’

Of course, I knew that he was looking for an opportunity.

Through [Yonginhwa] And [Berring Explosion], My abilities almost doubled, and the visual acuity of the body that can react to the opponent’s attack has also increased dramatically.

Of course, he was also aware of Ji Yoon-jae’s attack, and was preparing his own countermeasures.

However, a shield of fire suddenly appeared and stopped him.

At that sudden defense, Ji Yoon-jae shouted as if he had exploded.

“Damn it! How many skills do you have!!”

“Hey. This is not what I did.”

Not really.

It’s kind of embarrassing.

Tak- Tak-

Sussuk-

Kang!!

And did that defense become a catalyst?

In the battle structure where I was surrounded by myself, three Holders intervened this time.

Ohjun Kwon, Jinwoo Park, and Dongwook Choi.

The holders who were in charge of the tanking line in the front line.

All except for Shin Yuna, who was in charge of escorting from the rear.

After they quickly approached my side.

Each exchanged arms with 〈 Villains and 〉 Clanmates.

Seeing that, I spoke quietly.

“… Is everyone okay?”

No matter how much physical attack is better than other classes, it’s the same as being tired and depleted of magic power anyway.

I was worried for nothing because the team members seemed to have overworked themselves.

“Oh, I can’t just watch.”

“Okay. Because you defeated that gravity mage, our feet loosened up a bit.”

“… I’ll get you three.”

I’ve already used up all my ultimate skills, and most of my skills with long cooldowns.

All that remains is physical abilities and weapons.

Still, they ran like crazy and helped me.

Because it’s a team

Because it was a team that ran toward the same goal.

So the heart went to understand a hundred times.

There was nothing special about me.

Even in that hopeless situation, he had unlocked the ‘Seal of the Slate’ in order to do something about it.

I didn’t expect the result to be this good, but it was all for the team anyway.

I nodded and took up my weapon again.

“Then everyone take care! I will deal with as many as I can from the front!”

Tadadak-!!

After leaving the back to the team members.

Immediately use [Agile Body Movement] To move forward.

〈 Villain 〉’s clan members have already been greatly reduced.

Cha Soo-yeon was on the brink of death after being hit by [Her shadow of distortion], And one of her clan members is attached to heal her.

In addition, Myunghun is almost incapacitated by my explosive first attack.

Out of 10 clan members, only 7 remain.

Another 3 of them were taken over by my teammates, so I only had 4 people to deal with.

‘And from three or more, the law of beasts applies.’

[Descendants of the Barbarian King] Special effects, the law of beasts.

Physical abilities (strength, speed, durability) increase when fighting three or more enemies.

Because it is level 4, the percentage is 20%.

Pumping due to [Berring] And [Tolerating].

Pumped once more with [Descendant of the Barbarian King].

Lastly, pumping again with the [Intimidate] Special effect.

Countless stat corrections were applied like a combo.

Well, even if you use a cheat key, you can nod your head.

Now, when I look at my abilities…

It was easily surpassing the A-class level.

Kang-Kagang-!!

Go go go-

“Keugh….”

“What kind of monstrous power… !!”

〈 Villain 〉 The clan members tried to pass the exam by any means, but were suddenly taken aback by my overwhelming ability.

Of course, starting with A-rank holders, the high and low of their abilities lose a lot of meaning.

There is no standard ability to increase the grade, and from this point on, the rune level and the ability to use runes become a bigger criterion for power than ability.

But that’s above grade A.

The members of the 〈 Villain 〉 Clan now here, except for Ji Yoon-jae, are all B-class holders.

Even with 3:1, of course, it was difficult.

Because that….

Kang-Kagang-!!

At least, the only thing I can do now is an A-rank holder.

The [Sword of the Penitent] And the two short swords collided violently.

And freed from the influence of the difference in abilities…

Only one holder stood in my way.

It was Ji Yoon-jae, who had only been looking for an opportunity to make a surprise raid from earlier.

I grinned in front of the butt weapon.

“A rat bastard. Are you only aiming behind me this time?”

“Do Jae-hyun… I will definitely kill you here.”

Ji Yoon-jae.

And a 4:1 battle with three 〈 Villains and 〉 Clanmates.

It’s a composition I wouldn’t have dared to think of normally, but now I’m not afraid of it at all.
