200 – Blue Dragon of Valor (1)

Woo-woo-!!

Shoot aaa!!

As on the water, the speed of movement was beyond imagination.

A roaring movement and a speed to match.

Exactly the same as when we first saw him…

It felt like I was on a small high-speed boat.

At first, I couldn’t get used to the speed that was too fast, but as time passed, I gradually got used to it.

“The tree was the handle.”

“… Iknow, right.”

Master and I were clinging to the trees on top of As’s shell, with mana manifesting in our bodies.

The trees of Ars, which I thought were only for ornamental purposes, turned out to be handles.

Since it was stuck here, no matter how fast it was, there was no chance of it falling off.

I get used to the tremendous transport speed, and the rumbling speed gradually subsides.

As soon as I regained my condition, I spoke to As again.

‘As.’

– Speak.

‘How long will it take to arrive?’

– This is about half of the half.

I just ran for about 3 minutes…

If it is half of the half, the total time required is 12 minutes.

Well, it was almost time to move to 4 subway stations.

Can a tortoise be this fast?

It’s such a useless thought.

However, among As’s abilities, his speed was not that high.

＜Contractor Information＞

◎Name: As (Aspidokelon)

-Contractor: Jaehyun Do

◎Classification: Sub-Dragon (Special/Ancient)

◎Attribute: Water

◎Friendship: Loyalty

◎Status: Normal

◎General stats

[Muscle: 61 (+14.2)] [mana: 101 (+14.6)]

[Speed: 35 (+15.0)] [Divinity: 40 (+10.0)]

[Duration: 108 (+11.0)] [SPR: 83 (+10.8)]

◎Possessed Runes

[Ghost Dragon’s Shell Lv.20] [The Wave that Swallowed the Vortex Lv.16]

[Magic Control Lv.20] [Dragonian Spell Lv.17]

[Underwater Running Lv.Max] [Underwater Breathing Lv.Max] [Transport Expert Lv.Max]

[Magic Control] (*Limited) [Horn of Valor] (*Limited)

To be precise, it’s too low.

35.

If you add the additional stats of the contract effect, you only get 50.

In case someone wasn’t a turtle, his speed was too low compared to his other transcendent abilities.

Instead, he had the runes [Underwater Run] and [Transportation Expert] at Max level.

In other words, the original speed itself is very low, but when moving or transporting in the water, it showed speed beyond the limit.

‘Are you strong on magic?’

-That’s right. My strengths are solid durability and water magic that I use to endure and spread based on that. I hope this ability can be of use to the oath.

‘I think it will be very helpful?’

Although I had an [Elemental Master], there was nothing wrong with having a contractor who was good at using elemental magic runes.

In particular, Ars is a monster with the opposite style of Bond.

Their durability is similar, but their combat tendencies are completely different.

Bond is an airborne monster that engages in hand-to-hand combat based on his high strength and auxiliary runes, and As is an aquatic monster well versed in mana control and magic.

Thanks to that, even in summoning and utilizing contractors, it seemed that they could continue a fairly balanced battle.

‘As.’

– Speak.

‘Can you tell me what kind of place the realm of the great being is?’

The double dungeon in ＜The River Where the Dragon’s Breath Touches＞.

The place that Master and I will be exploring soon, commonly referred to as the ‘Realm of Great Beings’.

Ars is a sub-dragon who served as a servant of the dragon anyway, and using his information would make it easier to clear the dungeon.

However, As’s reply was negative.

– I’m sorry, but I don’t know either.

‘You don’t know?’

-That’s right. It is true that I lived in his domain, but most of my detailed memories of him have been erased. Not only that, but there are not many surviving memories of the great being. It’s just that I served him, and I have a sense of duty to be faithful to my mission now.

This was a pretty shocking story.

I knew that the monsters and other races that came to the modern world existed in other dimensions and other worlds, but I didn’t know that their memories were erased by the system.

I heard something similar the other time when I was talking to Bond, but at that time I thought that Bond lost his memory because he was an undead with only a dragon heart left.

‘… Are you saying that most of the monsters in the dungeon have amnesia?’

Of course, it could be a story that only applies to Bond or As.

Right after I got the [Language] rune, since the only beings in the other world that I’ve spoken to properly are Bond and Ars…

It seems that more in-depth research is needed in this area.

‘I’ll have to go as soon as it’s over.’

I secretly recalled a dungeon in my mind.

＜City of excommunicated wolves＞.

The dungeon where the ‘heterogeneous race’, who tried to talk to the holders in the original work, first appeared.

I had the item [Journal of a Howling Madman], the key to enter that dungeon, and my level had risen appropriately to match the difficulty level of the highest level dungeon.

To unlock more secrets about the other world, dungeons, and runes…

Now I really had to dig that dungeon myself.

– Master of the oath, we have arrived.

With the sound of the waves shooting ah ah, As announced the arrival.

The rough boundary between river and land.

Downstream with a dense forest stretching right next to it.

“… You really arrived right at the entrance to the double dungeon.”

Hearing Master’s slightly admiring voice, it seemed that he had come to the right place.

I got off As’s shell and landed lightly on the ground.

Then he looked at As again and said.

‘Thank you, As. Thanks for coming soon.’

– I just did what I had to do.

‘Oh, and if you sign a contract with me, you have to decide where to live… .’

Take a moment to look around the big river and its surroundings.

Several dungeons I own.

None of them had such a wide expanse of water.

The most suitable residence for Ars is…

No matter what anyone says, it will be this ＜river where the dragon’s breath touches＞.

‘As expected, I like where I was, right?’

In response, Asu made a rare gesture of joy and said.

-If you allow me, I would like to do that.

‘great. let’s settle here If I need anything, I’ll definitely summon you from a place with water.’

-All right. I’ll be waiting for you.

‘yes. Now… ah.’

As I was about to say hello to As, who had safely transported us, I snapped my fingers at a point that came to my mind.

I almost missed the most important thing.

Because of this, I was trying to increase the number of contract monsters.

I used the special effect of [The promise made by the dragon].

[Applies the ‘Cry of the Soul (Normal/Lv.4)’ rune to the contractor ‘Aspidokelon’. The corresponding rune will be deleted from holder information.]

[‘Three Great Swordsmanship (Normal/Lv.11)’ rune… … ]

[‘Simple curse (rare/Lv.5)’ rune… … ]

[‘Contaminated Muscle (Rare/Lv.5)’ Rune… … ]

[‘Touch of seduction (rare/Lv.7)’ rune… … The corresponding rune will be deleted from holder information.]

Grants a total of 5 runes to As.

As the rune level of [The Promise of the Dragon] has already reached 5, the number of runes that can be granted to the contractor has also increased from 3 to 5.

I already gave 5 to Bond, and I gave 5 more to As.

If possible, I would like to give him runes that would suit him, but since my runes are full, I have dealt with unnecessary runes first.

Anyway, aside from these runes, there were already much better runes, so it wouldn’t mean much.

– It’s amazing. Is it your ability?

As always shook his head at the newly acquired abilities.

When that giant tortoise shakes its head, it looks like an earthquake is about to happen.

I replied with a laugh.

‘It’s your ability now.’

– I feel like I’ve become good at using a sword. I don’t even have a hand to use a sword.

‘ha ha ha. Anyway, see you next time, As. Thanks for moving today.’

– It was an honor. May the protection of the great being be with you… .

Woo-woo-!!

shoot ah-

“… It’s really fast.”

Looking at As, who was going up the river at great speed again, Master said in a daze.

I replied with a smile.

“The speed itself was not as high as I thought.”

“is that so?”

“Yeah. I think it’s because there is a rune that allows you to run through water.”

We exchanged light small talk as we approached each location with a double dungeon.

The boundary between land and river.

The land where the river is still, and the trees nearby.

There was a small space that two people could enter under a large tree with mysterious energy.

Master said, stepping on one of them.

“You can enter a place like this circle. And each of them should put their mana into it at the same time.”

“All right.”

I was used to entering dungeons because I had done so many times.

Master and I climbed into the space and put our magic into it.

Perhaps because it was a dungeon entry that required special conditions, an information window appeared before entering.

[Satisfy all special conditions to enter the Great Realm! The magic power emitted by the two objects is in response to the warp gate leading to the great realm.]

From there, it was the same as when entering a normal dungeon or using the [Warp Gate].

At once, we escaped ＜The River Where the Dragon’s Breath Touches＞ and were sucked into a new space.

And… .

…

…

[Amazing achievement! The realm of great beings, a space that all beings revere. I encountered ‘Dragon Lair’. Ancient mysteries and long history are living and breathing in the space. Witnessing a legendary place, your vision becomes wider and newer.]

[All general stats increase by 2 due to the tendency of the achievement.]

[Forgotten memories sometimes come back in reunions! You witnessed a wave of valor following the Guardian Flame. In the memory of the oath that came to mind in succession, the proficiency of the related rune rises rapidly.]

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

[Acquires 2 leadership with the rune’s inclination.]

[The level of the ‘Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride’ rune has risen.]

[Acquires all normal stats by 1 with the inclination of the rune.]

＜The river where the dragon’s breath touches＞.

A double dungeon in it.

As soon as I entered the space that Ars referred to as the ‘realm of great beings,’ I was bombarded with information windows that I couldn’t even read.

When you dig into runes and monsters, ‘surprising achievements’ that come out sometimes.

This time, it only appeared through the discovery of the dungeon.

Thanks to this, his stats rose, and the levels of various runes rose at once.

It was a kind of ‘expectation’ that the holders only occasionally encounter while exploring dungeons.

“reappearance! Stealth!”

But what really mattered was not these opportunities.

At Master’s words urgently shouting at me, I immediately used [Stealth] without questioning.

Master always makes only rational decisions.

There must have been a reason to suddenly go into hiding in this situation.

——!!

——.

But when I heard an unspoken noise coming from somewhere in the sky.

quiet but…

Ironically, when I heard that voice that sounded like a scream.

I felt something was terribly wrong.

[A being in a legend. Feel the calm cry of Flavius, the blue dragon of valor. Due to the overwhelming magical power and energy, all of the holder’s stats are greatly reduced.]

Realm of Great Beings, Dragon Rare.

This double dungeon.

As soon as you enter, the boss appears…

It was a really ridiculous dungeon.
