170 – first contract (3)

“Hey, get up!!”

Hwang Dong-yeon’s stuttering words.

An immeasurable number of monsters appeared with him.

As I watched the scene, I couldn’t hide my despair.

“What about that… .”

What the hell is that all about?

Numerous monsters filled the island.

All appearances are cursed undead.

They were coming toward us, screaming terrifyingly.

And no matter how much I wash my eyes.

The attitude of the guys was not friendly.

“I think it’s probably Hwang Dong-yeon’s ability.”

Yoo Eun-seol took a few steps back while holding my waist.

She helped me understand by explaining further.

“Hwang Dong-yeon… ability?”

“Yeah. When I tried to enter, Hwang Dong-yeon was arranging magic within the escorts, but at some point, the magic power was concentrated explosively, and these are the results.”

“That holder’s ability… .”

Information about Hwang Dong-yeon was always shrouded in a veil.

In the meantime, quite a lot of information has been revealed about the ＜Villain＞ clan and its members, and even vice-master Hwang Seong-yeon caused a major incident, so related research materials were overflowing.

However, Hwang Dong-yeon, the clan master.

There was always little known about him.

Hwang Dong-yeon only created a clan, especially because there was little information about his criminal history or previous activities.

‘I thought he was controlling a real monster?’

＜Billon＞’s unusual behavior that has been related to the monster.

And the Sizzling Salamander who attacked the academy.

Through some incidents, I suspected that there would be a holder related to the [Training Contract] within ＜Villain＞.

However, I never thought that this would be Master Hwang Dong-yeon’s ability, and that he would be able to handle so many monsters.

‘How many commanders are there?’

According to Professor Kang Dong-wook, the number of monsters a holder can handle is affected by the leader level and rune level.

And at first glance, there are dozens of jockeys raised by Hwang Dong-yeon.

It was a large amount of monsters, to the extent that the leadership level could not be measured at all.

“Do Jae-hyun holder. You have to step back first. Join the back party and wait for reinforcements as much as possible… ”

Kaaa–

Kyaoooo-!!

The moment Yoo Eun-seol hurriedly spoke to me.

A “howling” of tremendous energy spread throughout the island.

A dragon of gigantic size standing in the midst of monsters.

Whole body made of bones, a kind of… ‘Bone Dragon’.

A guy who has no shortage of being called the Bone Dragon.

He slammed his foot on the floor and screamed.

“Ugh… .”

At that moment, Yoo Eun-seol’s body stiffened slightly, and then I could see it loosening up.

I was well aware of this condition.

Status abnormal ‘fear’.

The status quo I experienced when dealing with Grizzly Drake the other day.

It was an effect that was possible with the [Declare War] skill of the [Intimidate] rune acquired after defeating him.

[The special power of the ‘Bright Landscape’ rune keeps the target’s clear mind. It is not shaken by any curses or abnormal conditions.]

Fortunately, I was immune to these status ailments.

It is thanks to the spirit-type epic rune [Myungkyung Index] obtained by hunting the boss monster ‘Yamata no Orochi’ in Japan yesterday.

The second scam rune Park Jin-Woo had, I also now had it.

“Master. I guess I’ll have to catch him first. As long as that guy is there, it would be dangerous to back off anyway.”

“… … .”

At my words, Yu Eun-seol also nodded.

She must have felt it too with the howling just now.

That Bone Dragon, if left alone, will destroy our party.

We, the party’s full force, had to take the lead in stopping him.

So there was some hope.

“Master, could you take care of Seongyeon Hwang’s holder? He is too strong for me to handle alone.”

“Do Jae-hyeon, holder, wants to take on that Bone Dragon?”

“Yes. I will try to stop it somehow.”

To be honest, I don’t have one.

This dragon is not the end.

There were countless undead monsters summoned by Hwang Dong-yeon, and there were still some ＜Villain＞ clan members who still had strength left.

No matter what we did, victory was next to impossible.

‘I have to drag the time.’

But from the first operation until now, the conclusion is the same.

You have to take your time.

To somehow delay time and wait for reinforcements to arrive soon.

For that, we came to the front despite the risk.

Yoo Eun-seol looked at me with worried eyes.

“Then I will go first. Please be careful.”

“Yes, Master. I will never die.”

That’s how our role division ended.

Yoo Eun-seol again rushed at Hwang Seong-yeon, who slowly drew out the sword, and I pointed my feet at the Bone Dragon in front of me.

Kya, oh oh-!!

The Bone Dragon screamed again.

I ignored the howl with [Bright View Index] and quickly approached him.

‘Fuck. It’s filthy big.’

Legs made of dull bones.

Looking at it, I feel the huge size again.

The main body can only be seen by raising one’s head up to the sky.

I just wondered how Hwang Dong-yeon signed a contract with this ridiculous guy.

‘Still, there is an advantage.’

As much as the size of the guy is huge, there are points that can be used.

The common rune for Assassins, [Stealth].

A high-level [Stealth] can make full use of its effect as long as it disappears from the opponent’s sight.

Because the Bone Dragon was so huge, it couldn’t see the relatively small me, so the [Stealth] effect was properly applied.

‘Hyde Attack… !!’

If you become [Stealth], of course you can also use the derived skill [Hide Attack].

After I disappeared from the sight of the dragon I saw.

I burrowed into the guy’s back leg and immediately used [Hide Attack].

[Hide Attack] is one of the few direct attack skills I have.

If it could hit, it would definitely have a great effect.

Big, Gaga River-

Gya, Gyao?!

“… uh?”

But the moment my sword touches his body.

A strange thing happened.

I immediately stopped moving and looked at the strange phenomenon.

‘What, suddenly?’

Suddenly, an intense light of magical power…

It is created at the junction of the sword and the body.

The magical power generated at the joint gradually climbed up the Bone Dragon and began to concentrate at a specific point in the center of the body.

that’s clear

The ‘magic stone’ embedded in the body of the Bone Dragon.

And apart from the mana stone, it was another ‘something’ that was shining brightly.

The blindingly bright lights soon appeared in front of me, creating an information window.

[The dragon’s strong will hovers over the present world even after extinction. The scent of ‘Dragon Heart’, a special item with a legend, is still alive. Intense magic emanating from the dragon heart covers the surroundings.]

[The ‘promise made by the dragon’ rune and the ‘forgotten dragon knight’s pride’ rune correspond with the dragon heart. For the true contract with the ‘Bone Dragon’, all hidden special conditions are satisfied.]

[I figured out the unstable contract relationship of ‘Bone Dragon’! If you satisfy all special conditions, you can cancel the existing contract and enter into a new contract. This contract is not affected by Leadership and Rune Levels.]

I read the information window in amazement.

‘Dragon Heart? contract?’

Unfamiliar words and phrases clutter your eyes.

As usual with information windows, there was no intuitive explanation of the new power.

Every time I see it, I just want to know what the hell this is talking about.

But I didn’t have time to watch it and parent it.

In times like this, you have to adapt to the flow.

This has been known through previous experience.

It was the same when I got [Rune Hunter]’s new ability, ‘Upper Rune’, and it was the same when I broke the seal of the slab and obtained dragon-related abilities.

chance.

New powers always served as opportunities to break through crises.

‘The touch of the contract.’

Use [The Hand of the Contract], a derivative skill of [Promise made by the dragon].

This skill literally contracts with the target.

At the same time as using it, you can make a contract with a target that satisfies the conditions.

According to the explanation in the information window, now I was able to sign a contract with this formidable ‘Bone Dragon’.

That’s after obtaining the [Promise of the Dragon] rune.

Running for the first time…

It was the first contract.

[The contract is successful! ‘Bone Dragon (Curse/Special)’ is added to the contract target list for the ‘Promise of the Dragon’ rune. This is an abnormal contract, and the contractor’s abilities are partially limited.]

[Current List of Contract Monsters (1/1)]

[Sometimes, special beings make informal contracts. You have succeeded in making a mysterious contract that escapes the full power of Rune. Your level of understanding of the relevant runes increases dramatically.]

[The level of the ‘Promise of the Dragon’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Promise of the Dragon’ rune has risen.]

[Acquires 7 Leadership with Rune’s tendency.]

Incredible things happen one after another.

The Bone Dragon, which apparently appeared at Hwang Dong-yeon’s call…

Through contract termination and a new contract, he became ‘my contractor’.

The first contractor of [The Promise of the Dragon].

It’s ironic…

It was a monster who made a pact with the enemy.

Gyao oh-.

The Bone Dragon sits down its massive body.

Then, suddenly, the skull of a rather terrifying-looking figure was thrust at me.

However, unlike before, it was not aggressive at all, and it was a very obedient attitude.

it’s like…

‘Are you talking about riding?’

It was a gesture that seemed to ask her to climb on her own body.

Professor Kang Dong-wook was definitely right.

[Language] Without runes, communication with the contractor was not easy.

If I can overcome today’s crises and go back, I must get the common rune related to the [Training Contract].

With that thought in mind, I got on the body of the Bone Dragon.

aaah-

Gyao oh… !!

When I climbed on the Bone Dragon and climbed up, the guy let out a strong scream and howled like before.

When I first saw it, it was so hopeless and terrifying…

Since it was on our side, there was no such strong scream.

“What, what is that… .”

“That wasn’t the monster the Master created… ?”

Desperate voices are heard from the ground.

I looked around…

Our party members who fought fiercely in the back.

Yoo Eun-seol and Hwang Seong-yeon, who were fighting each other weapon-to-arms.

Even Hwang Yeon-yeon, who caused these monsters.

All eyes in disbelief.

Or they were looking at me with despondent eyes.

Gya, oh oh… !!

thud! thud!

Woooo!!

in that silence.

Once again, the Bone Dragon screamed.

And for a moment, he began to stomp his feet toward the enemies who were in a ‘fear’ state.

“Fuck! What nonsense is this… !!”

“Eh, run away!”

“Quaaagh-!!”

In an instant, the battlefield became a complete mess.

The ＜Villain＞ clan members fled frantically to avoid the Bone Dragon’s attack, and those who could not escape were instantly killed by the Bone Dragon’s kicks.

Gyaoooo-!!

thud! thud!

Hwang Dong-yeon’s undead monsters were the same.

Each one of them, who must have strong power, was swept away like dust by the blind attack of the Bone Dragon, who was no different from a captain.

The Bone Dragon’s physical abilities were far superior to what I expected.

“Everyone stay calm! We must all work together to stop it!”

“no! How do you stop that!”

“Do Jaehyun! You just need to catch Do Jae-hyun. Get in somehow, bring that bastard down!”

in such a chaotic atmosphere.

Among the ＜Villain＞ clan members, someone who looked like an executive level calmly gave instructions.

After all, no matter which group you go to, are there people who have quick brains?

That executive was making the most reasonable inference through a short amount of time and given circumstances.

‘It’s not good.’

I clicked my tongue at that.

This dragon is a very powerful monster.

A catastrophic monster that pulverizes everything in front of it with its gigantic body and enormous strength.

You’ll have to see ＜Contractor Information＞ to know the details, but when I looked at his physical abilities, I got the impression that he was an S-class monster.

However, as I first entered him, he is relatively slow.

In addition, it is not easy to cope with opponents who are too large to cling to.

The executives on the ＜Villain＞ side were digging into that blind spot well.

If a large number of B-class or higher holders clung to me at once, it could be dangerous enough even if I was on top of the Bone Dragon.

“Then I’ll write another one.”

Looking at the ＜Villain＞ clan members flocking like ants…

I grinned and smiled.

Since there is no [Language] rune yet, it is difficult to communicate in detail with the Bone Dragon.

How to deal with this situation…

It wasn’t nonexistent at all.

[You can use special effects linked with the ‘Rune Hunter’ rune. Currently, there are a total of 3 runes that can be bestowed on the contractor ‘Bone Dragon’.]

[Grants the ‘Agility (Normal/Lv.5)’ rune to the contractor ‘Bone Dragon’. The corresponding rune will be deleted from holder information.]

[Applies the ‘Bone Defense (Normal/Lv.7)’ rune to the contractor ‘Bone Dragon’. The corresponding rune will be deleted from holder information.]

[Gives the ‘Lion’s Fireworks (Rare/Lv.5)’ rune to the contractor ‘Bone Dragon’. The corresponding rune will be deleted from holder information.]

The special effect of [Promise made by dragon language] linked with [Rune Hunter].

‘Give Rune’.

Through this effect, I endowed the ‘Bone Dragon’ with three less efficient runes among the runes I had acquired.

And…

Gyaa, gyao oh-!!

thump, thump, thump!!

Fire-!!

“… Did I give you too much?”

The Bone Dragon went crazy and started to run amok.
