Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

Chapter 266

Confession (2)

The new school year started, but my training did not stop.

The Ludenark Sect and the Hwang Seong-yeon Union.

Since another enemy and certain goal has arisen…

Growth must continue endlessly.

Fortunately, as my research with Professor Kang Dong-wook also ended, I had free time, so I started hunting in the dungeon right after classes ended.

The dungeon I mainly visit is <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon>.

It recently became famous as a dungeon that possessed <Transcendent Chamber: Canales>, but it was originally famous as a high-level dungeon overflowing with A-grade and above monsters, so it was perfectly suitable as a training ground.

It was easy to ask for entrance.

[Teacher Yoo Eun-seol] Of course. I’ll let the guild employee in charge of the entrance know, so Holder Do Jae-hyun can enter whenever he wants.

[Me] Thank you, teacher.

[Teacher Yoo Eun-seol] …Or should I go with you?

[Me] Huh?

[Teacher Yoo Eun-seol] Ah, I guess that’s a bit… Never mind, just something I said. Ha, haha. Come back safe.

Although there was some awkward conversation, thanks to her, there was no problem entering the dungeon at all.

The first thing I tested when starting the hunt was…

Of course, the new contractor I gained through this subjugation.

Awoooooo–!!

A rough howl resounds through the dungeon, and a wolf with red fur reveals its stately appearance.

It’s Jiten, my third contractor.

The color of its fur is much clearer than before.

It meant he had gotten closer to being an S-grade monster.

Grrr, grrrr–!!

Jiten uses the charge-type rune, [Wolf’s Charge]…

And tears through the dungeon relentlessly.

Boasting such high speed and rune level, its momentum was no less than the charges I use.

I swung my sword in sync with that howling.

‘Accel Piercing won’t work.’

[Accel Piercing] is a skill I can only use when I charge or apply [The Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven] to a mount.

Right now, Jiten is directly using his own charge-type rune.

Here, it was much more effective to use a sword or bow.

Slash! Swish!

Grrrr–!!

Fortunately, its destructive power was no less than [Accel Piercing].

Most of the monsters blocking the way fell with a single strike, and our breathing also gradually improved.

Jiten’s charge and my sword strikes.

Our attacks blended like a harmony, without hesitation.

-Master. This time, five are blocking the way.

‘It’s okay. Don’t stop.’

The Black Ogres, one of the main monsters of the dungeon, come charging at us in a group.

But I had no intention of stopping.

‘I have to make the most of the charge.’

If I were to name the biggest advantage of Jiten, a Lycan, when transformed into a wolf form, it would be that he has the charge-type rune [Wolf’s Charge] and the [Ruthless Charge] rune that goes with it as a set.

Ignore physical attacks during the charge, and deal damage equal to twice your strength at the end.

This was a charge combo I often used in the early days, so of course Jiten in wolf form can also use this attack.

‘Plus, I’m free from the charge.’

[Ruthless Charge] has a powerful special effect, but…

It has one downside.

That is, during the charge, you cannot take any magical or physical action.

Only charging during the charge.

Other actions are only possible after the charge ends.

However, the rider of the charge is an exception.

Since I didn’t apply [The Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven] to Jiten separately, I could freely wield my sword during his charge.

Grrrroarr–!!

Waaaah–!!

The sound of some squealing pig reaches my ears.

Two Black Ogres in front of me instantly collapse.

Jiten’s [Ruthless Charge] effect and my water swordsmanship overlapped in one breath, relentlessly bringing down the enemies.

‘Heh. This is cavalry combat.’

To be precise, not a horse but a wolf…

But whatever, doesn’t matter.

I felt an odd sense of exhilaration at how well we moved together.

Certainly, Jiten was still lacking compared to Tyrbon or As, but as a combat partner, he was not at all inferior.

◎Detailed Information:-

:A Lycan belonging to the Baraten tribe of the wolf city Wolfenser. He is the nephew of the tribe chief Enrichten and is currently a warrior about to awaken. He has made a contract and shows deep loyalty to the one who gave him a token of trust.

First of all, his strength and speed are tremendously high.

The reason Jiten’s [Ruthless Charge] had such a great effect was because he possessed this immense strength and his speed supported the charge.

On top of that, he has various auxiliary runes optimized for close combat.

With just Moonlight or [Lupus Ring], he can freely awaken into wolf form with [Night of Flowing Moonlight].

The setting of all his runes was like the orthodox for a Lycan warrior.

‘Jiten. Bite the neck of the guy in front of me.’

-Understood.

Jiten’s charge was stopped by the recent collision.

Two of the Black Ogres that were knocked down by the charge.

I decided to deal with the one at the very front of the remaining three first.

Upon my order, Jiten swiftly moved behind that one, and I also used art of weapon exchange.

Changing weapons from sword to knuckles.

Using martial arts after a long time.

‘Primordial Furious Attack‘

A new skill I acquired this time.

To effectively use [Primordial Furious Attack].

This skill that adds 20% more power when utilizing martial arts is focused on ‘maximizing physical attacks’…

Essentially, using this skill with punches has a similar effect to throwing tremendously powerful punches.

Puh, euck–!!

Kwuahh–!!

The sound of a pig squealing comes out again.

The Black Ogre was pushed back from the strong impact, and without stopping, I spun my body to target another one.

‘Rapid Strikes.’

[Rapid Strikes], a derived skill of the [Master of Martial Arts] rune.

A physical attack that deals three rapid strikes is inflicted.

The first strike to the chest.

The second and third to the abdomen.

Even without infusing any magic, the creature was similarly pushed back greatly.

‘I’ve definitely gotten stronger.’

I felt that my bare-handed combat sensations had greatly improved when wearing the knuckles.

Thanks to the [Power of the Boiling Werewolf] rune.

<Rune Information>

◎Name: Power of the Boiling Werewolf

◎Level: 13

◎Special Effect

1) Allows you to wield the power of an ‘Awakened Lycanthrope’. The destructive power and explosiveness of hand-to-hand combat utilizing strength, speed, and toughness increases tremendously. Additionally, the performance of runes that enhance and assist the body increases by 10%, and the performance of runes related to ‘martial arts’ increases by 15%.

…

…

A rune that grew to level 13 by successfully clearing the dungeon.

Thanks to this rune optimized for hand-to-hand combat, the sheer power of my physical attacks increased greatly, and the effect was doubled when utilizing martial arts while wearing knuckles.

That’s why, even without using my main sword weapon, I felt like I was able to unleash 100% of my original power.

[The contracted ‘Jiten’ has used the derived skill ‘Loyal Mimicry’ of the ‘Law of Contract’ rune.]

[For the next 1 minute, Jiten’s magic will become 100.]

And the information window that appears before my eyes.

It was information about another new skill I had just acquired.

Seeing the contents, I smiled.

‘Doesn’t even need to be told, using it well.’

[Emergency Exit] and [Loyal Mimicry] are derived skills only contractors can use.

In other words, these are skills that contractors can use at their own discretion.

In the middle of this battle, Jaten used [Loyal Mimicry] on his own judgment, thinking my magic count was needed.

Kku, kwaaang–!!

Kuahh–!!

And I saw the full effect of using the skill.

Jiten leapt towards the remaining Black Ogres and instantly utilized [Night of Flowing Moonlight] to shift into human form mid-air.

Transforming into a Lycanthrope form while still in the air.

And pouring all his available magic into his fist…

He delivered a powerful uppercut to the Black Ogre.

Even without [Magic Control], recklessly pouring in that much magic was effective due to the sheer amount, despite being crude.

Without even a chance to react, the Black Ogre’s head was instantly shattered.

-Master. I’ve finished them all off.

Having cleaned up the battlefield in an instant, Jiten approached and spoke to me.

He had also disposed of the remaining Black Ogres I had left on the verge of death.

…A truly exceptionally loyal contractor.

“Good, you worked hard. Let’s rest for a bit.”

“Understood.”

Jiten reverted to wolf form and took a rest.

I also sat down on the ground for a moment and took out my phone.

To check the time…

But I had some missed calls and one message.

[Juyeon] Jae-hyun, are you free now?

It was my girlfriend.

Since communication wont work inside the dungeon, she must have sent it before I entered, and I’m just seeing it now.

“I should go.”

Closing my phone, I scan the surroundings.

The original plan was to train for about 2 more hours, but since I just noticed this sudden message, it seems I should head out.

“But what’s going on?”

I tilt my head in puzzlement.

Juyeon doesn’t usually send messages like this, so I feel a strange sense of unease.

And then.

Bururu-

“…What is this?”

Suddenly, my body starts to tremble slightly.

From that unfamiliar sensation,

An ominous feeling starts to well up within me, for some unknown reason.
