188 – Will it snow on Christmas? (3)

Purr, purr-

Ooh-!!

A strange cry echoed through the dungeon.

It was the sound of ‘Irregular Boss’.

He sounded like the neighing of a horse in some ways, or like the neighing of a cow if you listened closely.

However, the appearance of a guy resembling a deer.

Judging by the brilliant appearance, whose entire body was composed of ice, that strange sound was probably the cry of a deer.

“To think that an irregular boss suddenly appeared… .”

The Irregular Boss is a monster similar to the mid-boss, ‘Asena’, that you encountered earlier in ＜Stained Rock Pile＞.

However, while the intermediate boss matches the level of the dungeon and has lower skills than the final boss, the irregular boss is often stronger than the final boss because it exceeds the level of the dungeon.

Right now, ＜Ice Garden＞ is the lowest level dungeon where only F- and E-level monsters appear, but the monster that appeared right in front of me was at least B-level no matter how you look at it.

Because of that specificity, the irregular boss was also called a kind of ‘disaster monster’.

In fact, when an irregular boss appeared in a dungeon, the Korea Holder Association would be the first to dispatch a temporary raiding party.

“Run quickly!!”

“I use ice magic! Aren’t there wizards who know how to use power melting?!”

“Such a high-ranking holder is not here!!”

The holders near the Irregular boss were confused and scattered.

‘Here’s such a high-ranking holder… .’

Fire attribute magic [Power Melting].

Although it is a skill that requires a high level of proficiency, it is probably enough for Kang Joo-yeon to use it.

Apparently ＜Ice Garden＞ is a dungeon with a higher value as a tourist attraction, so the level of holders who visited here today didn’t seem to be that high.

But aside from that, it doesn’t look like Holder has been seriously injured yet.

Even if it’s a sudden attack, maybe it’s because he’s a monster who uses magic… Fortunately, there appeared to be no major damage.

“Juyeon-ah. Can you assist?”

As soon as I grasped the situation, I quickly turned my head and looked at Kang Joo-yeon.

Wizards are holders who always fight against time.

Arrangement, manifestation, application of magical power…

It takes time to prepare in all aspects, and the destructive power that comes back is strong.

There was a high probability that Kang Joo-yeon was not prepared for the sudden appearance of the irregular boss.

“… Yes, it is possible.”

But Kang Joo-yeon is a professional rune holder.

From the time the situation happened, I had already prepared with the staff.

Korea’s top 10 prospects, the most promising in the academy wizard series…

Those splendid titles didn’t follow her every time for no reason.

I sent a look of strong trust and nodded my head.

“Then, rather than attack skills, use counterattacks or defenses as much as possible. I’ll be back soon.”

“yes.”

Hearing Kang Joo-yeon’s answer, he left his seat and stepped forward.

Normally, I would have used the assault type rune, [The Best Racehorse in the World], but… I am different now.

After the ＜Billon＞ clearing operation, the battle can be seen as the first real battle in a way.

Since then, my fighting style has become much more diverse.

‘The call of the contract.’

Run forward quickly and use the [Summon] rune’s [Call of Contract] skill.

A skill that consumes mana stones and summons the designated contractor through the contract-related rune with the power of the rune.

The magic stone that escaped from my hand and shot into the air summoned a huge monster.

Kyaoooo-!!

“I-what is that? Another Irregular Boss?”

“no. That’s that, that’s that. dragon seen. The contract monster of that Do Jae-hyeon holder.”

“Do Jae-hyun? Do Jae-hyun is here?”

The murmur of other holders can be heard in the distance.

A grotesque appearance whose entire body is made of bones.

However, the flapping of the wings boasts a magnificent appearance.

It was my only contractor, Bond.

I lightly rode on top of Bond’s body, which appeared noisily.

‘It’s been a while, Bond.’

-host. The mad researcher is nowhere to be seen today.

Instead of taking my greeting, Bond starts with something else.

mad researcher.

It was referring to Professor Kang Dong-wook.

Professor Kang Dong-wook would often visit ＜Hobgoblin Village＞ every weekend and study the contractual relationship between Bond and me and the pincer attack.

He was mostly contract-related research that increased our strength, and it was also related to the research of the special item [Order of Harmony], so I actively participated in it.

In fact, through him, our pincer attack power increased.

However, looking at the expression ‘crazy researcher’, it seems that it was just an annoying process for Bond.

‘Today is not research, it’s practice. See that deer-looking guy over there? I have to catch that.’

At that, Bond’s gaze briefly turned to the irregular boss.

The opponent was already using ice attribute magic, making the already frozen surroundings even more cold.

maybe if you leave it as it is.

Holders who run away in a hurry also seem to be in danger soon.

– You look weak.

‘It’s because he’s a magician. Anyway, we’re leaving right away?’

-i get it.

With Bond’s permission, I immediately utilized [The Best Racehorse in the World].

[The Best Racehorse in the World] is an epic rune that combines all of my assault runes.

I’ve been using Rune’s abilities appropriately, but…

After getting a contractor named Bond, I was finally able to unleash the true power of this rune.

Kyaoooo-!!

ugh-

shoot ah-

Bond prepares to charge at breakneck speed.

The speed at which you normally fly.

His movements seem to be several times faster.

The ‘Rapid Riding’ special effect of [The Best Racehorse in the World].

This effect, always applied at any time, was an effect that allowed the rune user to use an assault on the ‘vehicle’ he rode on.

Its performance is 70%.

Although the performance is reduced compared to when I use it directly on my body, the utilization is much higher.

‘Because Bond’s movements are gaining momentum.’

It was important that Bond could use that power even though he didn’t have the [World’s Best Racehorse] rune.

When Bond uses the charge, there is virtually no restriction on the direction, and I can prepare for another attack while riding.

Instead of decreasing speed, it was convenient to see that the destructive power after the charge increased.

Purr, purr-

Ooh-!!

While running towards the Irregular Boss without hesitation.

The guy finally unleashed the ice attribute magic he was preparing.

awesome-

damn-

＜Ice Garden＞ All the ice sheets on the floor inside begin to soar.

Some climbed up as pillars, and some poked all over the inside in the form of sharp thorns.

Among them, ice spears rained down like javelins.

That is [Wind Javelin], one of my attribute skills.

It was safe to say that it was an ice version of that skill.

‘crazy… It’s stronger than I thought.’

The unexpected attack gave me a headache.

His ice magic is more powerful than I thought.

I can block or dodge those magics, but the other holders who haven’t escaped yet were a problem.

If left as it is, it was clear that there would be casualties.

And then.

Hwareuk-!

Fire-

At the right time, Kang Joo-yeon’s fire attribute magic unfolds.

The huge energy of fire that rose throughout the dungeon melted all the ice of the irregular boss.

‘Wow… .’

It wasn’t just [Power Melting] level magic.

A huge dragon made of fire.

It was like looking at a phoenix in the form of fire.

The huge flame covered the dungeon, starting with Kang Joo-yeon’s staff, and offset the opponent’s ice magic.

Recently, I heard that Kang Joo-yeon’s runes have changed and her skills have reached an A-level, but…

I never thought it would be this powerful.

-Master, don’t lose sight of it. is charging

‘Oh sorry. I’m going to go to the accelerator piercing like this. remember?’

-No problem.

Thanks to Kang Joo-yeon’s assistance, I accelerated Bond’s charge.

And [Wyvern Spear] that comes out.

In the meantime, I developed a pincer attack with Bond and practiced countless times…

It was ‘After Bond’s Charge [Axel Piercing]’.

Kyaoooo-!!

The direction of Bond’s charge, which was only going forward, changes.

from top to bottom.

A charge that flies fiercely as if it were plunging down.

Ice attacks that had not yet been melted by Kang Joo-yeon’s magic rained down on Bond from time to time, but to no avail.

at all.

It doesn’t do any damage.

It’s purely because of Bond’s physical abilities.

Bond’s durability value is over 100.

Even if it was an attack with a lot of magical power, it was not a figure that could easily be penetrated.

‘Accel Piercing.’

Utilize the skills you have been preparing for.

An attack skill that uses the speed of the charge as a stepping stone and puts all of its energy into ‘stabbing’.

In particular, the special effect of [Wyvern Spear], which increases power by 30% when attacking while falling from the sky…

Bond and my pincers boasted tremendous destructive power.

Kwa, Kaga-!!

Quaang! Quaang!

Kwaaang!!

I kept getting the feeling that something was getting caught in the stabbing window.

Is it the ice attack of the irregular boss?

Without even noticing it…

My spear destroyed all the obstacles in front of my eyes, and pierced through it, piercing through his torso.

Pooh, poo… .

ugh-

With that, the battle was over.

The Irregular Boss trembled for a while, then lost its brilliant light and died.

“No, what… .”

With that absurd result…

I was momentarily at a loss for words.

What is this?

[Accel Piercing] is not originally a finishing skill.

It is an attack that gains momentum with a powerful preemptive attack, and the effect attached to the skill is also ‘bleeding’… It is an effect to inflict continuous damage.

However, the battle ended with one skill.

Considering the power of the magic the Irregular Boss showed, the opponent was at least an A-class monster.

I’m now a Class A monster…

It was finished with one skill.

“… Jaehyun is too strong.”

Kang Joo-yeon, who was walking slowly from behind, spoke to me.

It feels unfair to hear this from Kang Joo-yeon.

But from what I can see, the result doesn’t make sense.

“I know. I didn’t expect this either… .”

I’m guessing, maybe it’s the result of a joint attack between Bond and me.

In the meantime, I have conducted a lot of research with Professor Kang Dong-wook, but the research results have never led to actual combat.

Because the academy hadn’t ended, and there wasn’t anything worth fighting for.

However, when it was used in practice, its power was enormous.

Bond’s overwhelming physical ability and my excellent use of runes.

As the two are combined, [Accel Piercing] surpasses its existing power… It seemed to show destructive power beyond imagination.

“Well… . Go, shall we go?”

Feeling embarrassed for some reason, I turned my head and looked at Kang Joo-yeon.

“yes.”

Kang Joo-yeon also nodded.

Fortunately, most of the holders escaped, and no one was seen nearby.

There was a little hunting, but no problem.

It was enough to enjoy sightseeing again as if nothing had happened.

What is post-processing?

The Holder Association, which came later, will take care of it.

That was when I was about to turn around.

[The special power of ‘Ice Rudolph’ permeates the garden. only once a year. Ice Rudolph, who even appears with a half chance, is a very special being with his own boss room. If you follow his trail, you will find an amazingly beautiful space.]

[Another boss room in ‘Ice Garden’ opens.]

The ＜Ice Garden＞ was devastated by my [Axel Piercing].

on one side of the center.

There was a staircase of brilliant light to go down.
