174 – Sweeping and Organizing (4)

After all the exhausting and exhausting battles are over.

All I needed was a break.

Regarding the remaining situation, there were still many things to investigate, and the holder world in Korea was buzzing with the biggest case of the <Villain> eradication every day…

To be honest, I’m not interested right now.

My goal right now is only one.

“… I want to sleep.”

Returning to the cozy house, all I could do was to sleep without wanting to sleep.

After the creation of <Anti-Villain>.

I’ve never had a good night’s sleep.

I’m afraid that the <villains> guys who don’t choose the means and methods will aim for ‘my surroundings’ instead of me.

Because of my greed to wipe out <villains>, I am afraid that people around me will get hurt.

Such worries and complex emotions overlapped, and I couldn’t even remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep.

I couldn’t even sleep, but my whole body was in the worst condition.

Because after I got home.

I cut off all the pouring contact, fell on the bed and went straight to sleep.

“… How long have you slept?”

It was now that I woke up from such a restless sleep.

Rubbing my eyes, I turned on my phone that I had turned off.

[PM 8:32]

half past eight in the evening.

It must have been about this time when I got home yesterday.

It’s probably not like I fell asleep for only 30 minutes… .

“Are you crazy?”

In an instant, my mind flashes.

It seems that this madman has let go of the day.

It is the first record of life.

Not proud at all.

“Oh, how long have you slept?”

I scratched my head in embarrassment.

Until now, no matter how tired I was, I had never slept for 24 hours, but it seems that I was in a state of excessive tension during that time.

The day before the <villain> eradication operation, I couldn’t sleep at all, so it was understandable.

“You’ve been in a lot of contact.”

Myriad phone calls, text messages, and social media contacts are filling up my storage box.

Most of them are Kim Chae-eun, Kang Ju-yeon, Moon Ga-eun, Tak Won-ho, Kim Myung-hyeon… It was a familiar name from close friends, acquaintances, or academy teachers.

At first glance, I received a lot of calls from unfamiliar numbers I had never seen before.

Was it because it was such an epic operation?

There was no one who did not pay attention to this case, including the domestic holder community, the media, various broadcasting companies, and foreign media.

Actually, I slept for 24 hours, far from all contact… .

“The reply is… do it later.”

The reply to the contact has been delayed for a while.

Since I had slept as if I was about to collapse, there were a lot of things that I personally needed to fix.

First of all, the runes obtained after the battle with <Villain>.

At the time, there were so many information windows that I couldn’t check them all, but now that I have more time, I can organize and understand them.

“Fifteen… Was it?”

The total number of runes obtained is 15.

I was worried that the number might be too many, but surprisingly, there were many overlapping runes for skilled holders, so the number of obtainable was less than expected.

The types of runes obtained were diverse.

The [Byeolsabeop] that I wanted to get from the archer class, the common rune of the assassin class [Identify Weaknesses], the warrior class [Three Jaegeebeop], etc… Acquired runes that were basic but definitely supported the holder.

If they have one thing in common.

Interestingly, the levels of acquired runes are quite high.

<Rune information>

◎Name: Star Cut Method ◎Grade: Normal ◎Level: 10

… …

<Rune Information>

◎Name: Identify Weakness ◎Grade: Normal ◎Level: 9

… …

The levels of runes acquired in this way were quite high.

These are probably the holders who contributed to the victory by knocking me down or giving me a big blow.

It seemed to be because their level was high and their rune proficiency was high.

Thanks to this, I was able to acquire the common runes of each series, which I needed, at a high level.

Of course, the huge increase in stats was a bonus.

<Holder information>

◎Name: Jaehyun Do

◎Gender: Male (20)

◎Ability

[Muscle: 70] [mana: 71]

[Speed: 73] [Divinity: 50]

[Duration: 55] [Spirit: 54]

◎Special Ability

[Director: 31]

Acquire 15 runes.

To be precise, [Special Cut], [Identify Weaknesses], [Three Great Swordsmanship], [Critical Hit], [Endurance], [Florian Spell], [Sword Covered in Darkness], [Tricky Arrowhead], [Touch of Deception], [Darkness] Fear], [Summon], [Language], [Share Magic], [Enhance Contract], [Leader of Death].

“… There are too many of them.”

A lot is really a lot.

Anyway, the number of runes acquired is so large, and each one is acquired with high level runes… Even though the main runes were normal, the increase in stats was quite high.

The main stats, Strength, Speed, and Magic, are all 70.

The rest of the stats were over 50.

Among them, the most encouraging growth point is, of course, ‘leadership’.

The leadership, which had recorded an extremely low number when first obtained, now surpassed 30.

“There were a lot of contract-related holders under Hwang Dong-yeon.”

I wondered how even a holder at the pinnacle of the [commander contract] could have produced so many undead corps…

It seems that there were quite a few related holders under his command.

It was a huge boon for me.

Acquiring their runes, I was able to greatly increase my leadership level, and I was able to acquire a large number of ‘common runes related to contracts’ that I had planned from talking with Professor Kang Dong-wook.

There was no need to forcibly fight against the academy special holders.

“Summoning, language, magic sharing, contract strengthening… .”

I took a look at the newly acquired runes.

A common rune for all 4 contracts.

Of these, [Summon] and [Language] were especially important.

[Summon] is a rune that allows you to use space movement magic, a kind of [Warp] that can summon contract monsters using mana stones.

And because [Language] is a rune that allows you to communicate with contract monsters.

To check these runes right away, I headed to the nearby ‘Hobgoblin Village’ dungeon.

My dungeon with all ownership and rights to me.

It was a perfect place to experiment with new things.

[You have entered the dungeon.]

After arriving at ‘Hobgoblin Village’.

I immediately used the [Summon] rune.

The [Summoning] rune is a rune that is linked only when you have a rune related to the ‘contract’, and the ability to summon the target of the contract by consuming mana stones.

Naturally, the higher the level of the contract target, the higher the grade of the mana stone consumed.

“… Tears of blood.”

The grade of the consumed mana stone is B grade.

In other words.

Every time he calls up Bond, he has to pay a whopping 42 million won.

Indeed, it cannot be said that it is a high-class power that brings tears.

Kyaa, kyaaa-

Kyaoooo-!!

“Here you go, Bond.”

Bond is summoned.

Originally, I didn’t have a good place to go, so I asked Kang Woo-hyun and left it on Gijang Island for a while…

It was Bond that I finally saw again after a day.

wide expanse.

Flying through the sky of the ‘Hobgoblin Village’ as if it were his home, Bond enjoyed freedom.

It really looked like an animal enjoying nature, and at that moment I didn’t feel like I was seeing a monster.

But then.

Bond suddenly stopped flying and came in front of me.

coo, coo-

flutter –

A strong wind hit the surroundings, and dust covered the eyes.

Then, Bond glared at me with a completely unknown expression.

By the way…

-I don’t like that name.

“uh?!”

I was stunned by a certain conscious ‘language’ that I heard in an instant.

Dude, did you just ‘talk’?

– I kept talking. The owner just ignored it.

“Wow… Interesting. Are you really communicating?”

I was expecting something like this and experimented with it, but it was amazing to see it become a reality.

Bond’s voice was more prominent and bold than I thought, but it wasn’t to the extent that it was uncomfortable to hear.

– He said he didn’t like it. Second.

“Hey. sorry. I didn’t know you would hate me that much.”

And as soon as I named it, my friendship level and ability decreased, and honestly, I immediately regretted it.

It’s the same as liking a cool name, whether it’s a person or a contractor.

-Want to change.

“Is there any way to change it?”

– You need to regain your strength.

“strength?”

I asked back at the sudden words of Bond.

The guy responded by flapping his magnificent bone fragment wings wildly.

-Yes. Originally, I had power. very strong

“… Are you still very strong?”

– It was stronger! But the memory was erased. There are so many missing pieces to me right now.

“… I don’t know what it is, but anyway, if you get it back, you can change your name, right?”

-Yes. To be exact, it’s about getting your name back.

The missing piece of Bond.

Most likely, it was the memory of the dragon who was the owner of the original dragon heart.

The current bond is a kind of undead, newly assembled with only bone fragments remaining.

They say that if you get it back, you can find the name too…

I’ll have to try to find it somehow.

Looking at it, it seems that the Bond guy doesn’t even know how to do it, but anyway, the contractor didn’t like the name I gave it, so I’ll have to change it.

-host. i like this place

I was lost in thought for a while.

Bond spoke again.

At those words, I immediately showed my anger.

“uh? really? Will you continue to live here?”

-Yes. I want to be here when the owner is not around.

I was still considering Bond’s move.

Originally, if the size of the monsters contracted through the [Training Contract] is small or dwarfed, the holder will usually find a place for them.

Grow it in your own room or in a nearby yard or something.

But even a small increase in size becomes a problem.

Holders know that monsters are trained, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are just monsters.

So holders who signed [Training Contracts] would pay a certain amount to the Holder Association to protect monsters in certain dungeons.

‘But I don’t have to.’

In the first place, ‘Hobgoblin Village’ belongs to me.

Because I did the first discovery and the first attack…

I had priority over all rights.

Of course, there was no problem at all as long as he reported to have Bond live here.

The biggest problem was if Bond hated this dungeon, but looking at it now, fortunately it didn’t seem like that.

aaa-.

Bond flapped his wings wildly and flew up.

Like a fish out of water, flying freely and howling.

He seems to be in a good mood, so the contractor, I’m also in a good mood…

For some reason, the sound of crying was reluctant.

that guy

Have you ever cried like that before?

And a strange voice came from somewhere.

-Bo, the Bone Dragon howled!

-Keruk! Damn it, let’s run away!

The monster in this dungeon.

It was a conversation between hobgoblins.

Looking at the strange sight, I put my head down.

“ah… .”

[Language] Runes.

They even make you hear the language of monsters you don’t want to hear.
