I Got the Academy Morale Rune

192 – Will it snow on Christmas? (7)

The next day after having a special Christmas Eve.

From early morning, I packed up my gear and went out to the dungeon.

＜The Nest Covered by Clouds＞.

It was a dungeon that I had previously conquered with Moon Ga-eun and Sung Na-yeon Holder.

After the capture, only the stake in the ownership of the dungeon was guaranteed, and management was completely handed over to ＜Royal＞.

It was a dungeon that I forgot about for a while, except for the steady income.

Standing at the entrance of that dungeon, I asked like an idiot.

“You really want to send me here?”

Moon Ga-eun decides to spend Christmas lunch together.

The meeting place she made early in the morning is here.

It was ＜The Nest Covered by Clouds＞.

They even made a direct request to the clan and said that they emptied the inside of the dungeon today so that no other holders could come.

Moon Ga-eun nodded with a bright face.

“yes! I will definitely ride your contract monster today.”

One reason.

It was because of my desire to get on the body of my contractor ‘Bond’ and fly in the sky myself.

I asked her with a puzzled face.

“No, you can do that anytime. Do we have to do it for Christmas?”

At those words, Moon Ga-eun slightly rolled her eyes and looked at me.

“Chi- You’ll be very busy again when the vacation is over. It’s not going to be time anyway.”

“… … .”

I got so caught up in it that I have nothing to say.

In particular, this vacation might be busier than the last vacation, as I had to strengthen the newly acquired runes, and the dungeon raid with Yoo Eun-seol was scheduled.

‘But if I make an appointment in advance, I can make enough time… .’

But I didn’t dare say it out of my mouth.

It was because I seemed to know roughly what Moon Ga-eun was thinking.

Maybe Moon Ga-eun planned it this way because she wanted me to spend my vacation freely without worrying about those things.

Just look…

The child who seemed unlikely was the most considerate.

“And it’s breakfast and lunch anyway, so there’s nowhere to go. In that case, it’s better to rent the entire dungeon and play.”

“… That too.”

That makes sense.

Of course, the problem is that hunting is included in the category of ‘playing’…

Well, since Moon Ga-eun looks very excited, it probably doesn’t matter.

She hurriedly approached and pushed me on the back.

“Anyway, let’s go quickly! There is no time, no time.”

“Aww, it’s tickling.”

Fooling around, we quickly entered ＜The Nest Covered by Clouds＞.

I didn’t have the Seongnayeon holder who lifted us up last time, but fortunately I now have the [Elemental Master] rune and the [Florian Spell] rune.

A magic rune containing the wind attribute and a high-level magic spell rune.

When it comes to the combination of the two runes, [Levitation] was chewing gum.

* * *

Kyaoooo-!!

A vast land and a vast expanse.

As if a storm was blowing, the wind raged wildly.

And in between, a giant monster that crosses without hesitation.

In less than 10 minutes, the sky of ＜The Cloud Covered Nest＞, filled with aerial monsters, became Bond’s domain.

Bond, who was summoned at once with [Summoning]’s [Call of Contract], flew in the sky, delighted with the dungeon that was perfect for him.

It was as if he was looking for his own home.

“Wow! excited… !!”

And it wasn’t just Bond that was exciting.

Moon Ga-eun was enjoying the run in the sky, hugging me tightly behind my back.

-host. this woman is weird

‘… He’s a good boy.’

-I don’t know. just weird

In fact, Moon Ga-eun is flying in the sky while riding on Bond.

Originally, this would be close to impossible.

Even if you are a Contract Monster, you need the [Equestrian] rune to endure such a rough and rugged flight.

I don’t have that rune either, but I don’t have a [Equestrian] rune, so instead I cover it with the common rune [Strengthen contract] that supports cooperation with the contractor in many ways.

However, Moon Ga-eun, who had neither [horseback riding] nor [contract strengthening], was naturally anxious in the sky.

By the way… .

“I have horseback riding runes?”

“… there?”

“yes! I had it as a common rune from the holder’s awakening. The level is also very high. I must have been a horse archer in a past life, ahahahaha.”

no wonder.

There must have been a reason for wanting to ride Bond like a toy.

‘But then you might have a talent for taming contracts… ?’

Moon Ga-eun laughed and said it in a playful way, but I looked at it more seriously.

Recently, I came to know about [Order of Harmony] and ‘Contract-Related Runes’ with Professor Dong-Wook Kang, and holders of the [Equestrian] rune usually also have the talent for [Training Contract].

The [Riding] rune is a rune that supports abilities related to ‘vehicle’, but mounts that are not recorded in the system usually have little meaning in the holder’s battle.

Because of that, holders who had the [Horseback Riding] rune often got the [Training Contract] rune even later.

Moon Ga-eun, who enjoys running on Bond with excitement, thought that maybe this could be the case.

“Hurray!!”

… It’s such a crazy state right now.

I wouldn’t say anything like that at all.

I turned the direction of Bond slightly to the right and asked Moon Ga-eun.

“Do you want to hunt?”

“hunt?”

“yes. It seems like the four Manticores are chasing after you? Above Bond, shoot a bow.”

“great! i love it! I want to try it!”

I nodded my head in satisfaction at Wen Ga-eun, whom I liked like a child.

Lately, I felt sorry for Moon Ga-eun because she looked down on something, but I was happy to be able to make her laugh like this.

A little more power is put into the ‘magic connection’ with Bond.

‘Let’s go, Bond.’

-… Annoying.

‘Hold on a little. I’ll give you the finest magic stone when I go home later.’

-good night. Keep your promise, master.

… Again, I dare to accept an oral promise.

Anyway, the thing that I like expensive things is the same for monsters and people.

Motivated, Bond began to move his body passionately.

Kyaoooo-!!

Cuckoo-!!

Four monsters are flying in the sky.

One is Bond, and the other three are the A-class monster Manticore.

If I use my own combat runes, including [The Best Racehorse in the World], I can easily hunt these guys, but now it’s time to help Moon Ga-eun in her hunt.

As it is on Bond…

I bet every status ailment I could use.

‘Declaration of war.’

First of all, the [Declaration of War] of [Coercion].

I don’t like it very much because it’s a derivative skill whose result depends on the opponent’s mental level, but fortunately, Manticore is a monster with a fairly low mental level because the stats that came from strengthening the body are concentrated.

It was an attractive skill that could inflict fear for as long as 3 seconds if successful.

Cuckoo-?!

bingo.

Two out of three were terrified.

At the same time, Moon Ga-eun’s bowstring was pulled straight.

three in total.

As if using the [Sequence Strike] skill, a total of three arrows fly and stick in succession.

Now, it was a derivative skill of the [Byteolsabeop] that I also possessed, [Single point fire].

shhh-

Pak-! Pumpkin-!

Three arrows that pierce the shoulder of a Manticore.

Without even time to check them all, I used status abnormalities one after another.

This time, the [Demon’s Curse] rune.

The sorcery contained within it is ‘slowing’.

Cuckoo-!!

kerch?

The Manticore, which escaped from the [Declaration of War]’s sphere and rushed at us, stopped.

Is it because my divinity level has already exceeded 50?

Even using magic, the power was enormous.

This is, well, not a slowdown, but a near stop.

Kyaoooo-!!

This time, Bond moved his body.

I wanted to leave all the dealings in this battle to Moon Ga-eun, but Bond is also a warlike contractor who likes to fight.

He wasn’t a guy who would just leave his prey in front of him.

Cuckoo-!!

Kyaoooo-!!

Bond’s hard, destructive bone teeth bite through the Manticore’s torso.

Because of my [Demon’s Curse], the Manticore, which was brought to a near standstill, had to helplessly allow its fierce bite.

Manticore writhing in agony.

Bond never let him go.

“oh… .”

In the intense fight in the sky, Moon Ga-eun, who was said to have the [Horseback] rune, stumbled.

I grabbed her by the waist as she was about to fall.

“it’s okay?”

“Uh, uh… yes.”

Moon Ga-eun’s embarrassed appearance made me laugh without knowing it.

“That’s right, be careful. You can’t move around like that just because you have horse riding runes.”

“C-This is force majeure… !! How do you react when you move so wildly?”

“ha ha ha.”

Just as he held Moon Ga-eun’s body, he clung to Bond more firmly.

Point the guy in the direction to move.

And I whispered to her

“Hold tight, Ga-eun.”

“Kyaa-!!”

Kyaoooo-!!

Cuckoo-!!

Bond soars higher into the sky, ignoring the biting Manticore.

follow him

The last remaining manticore takes flight.

A form in which the bond stands on top and the manticore catches up from the bottom.

It was like a chase, they were flying towards each other.

And those of us on top of Bond could see the Manticore as if looking down from a high-rise building.

And in the deformed structure…

I grabbed the bowstring.

Not my bowstring, but Moon Ga-eun’s bowstring.

“What, what are you going to do?”

“Finish hunting.”

In place of Moon Ga-eun, whose battle preparations were briefly disturbed.

I shoot my own bow

[Martial Arts Master] is level 10, and the [Star Breaking Method] recently obtained from rune hunting is also level 10, so there was no problem with the attack.

A bowstring that pulls her together while holding onto her as if doing a back hug.

A near-perfect [Single point shot] rained down towards the Manticore.

“oh… .”

“uh… ?”

However, a slightly embarrassing situation occurred in the process… .

It’s an urgent battle, so it can’t be helped, right?
