Incheon Metropolitan City, Ganghwa-gun.
An island commonly called Ganghwado Island.
And countless uninhabited islands nearby.
Among them, Gijangeum Island is the home base of the
Important information and items about the clan are scattered across many uninhabited islands near Incheon, and although there is no one location that can be singled out due to this decentralized network structure
Nevertheless, Gijangeum Island is considered the home base by the clan executives.
Because the clan master of
Unless there is a special occasion, he always stays on this Gijangeum Island.
Its still a boring island.
Clothes and coat covered in blood.
A large, shabby sword hanging over his shoulder.
Hwang Seong-yeon quietly comments on the island while walking into the center.
In the middle of Gijangeum Island.
If you look closely around it, there is a structure with a unique shape leading underground.
Another hidden space appears inside from there after tampering with the concealed device, and you have to engrave a password for the door to open.
If it was someones first time here, they wouldnt even be able to find the structure let alone the device
But for Hwang Seong-yeon who frequented Gijangeum Island like his home, it was a tedious repetitive task.
Creak-
Thud-
He forcibly opens the device with his foot and carelessly engraves a password.
Then inside the narrow space.
An even narrower secret space appeared.
Hwang Seong-yeon enters it and starts going down.
Since it was an underground space made from the island, its depth wasnt as deep as one would think.
As if getting up every morning and eating cereal, Hwang Seong-yeon naturally opened the special spaces and entered Soon he was able to arrive at his destination.
Ughh, ugghh-!! Ugh, ugh, urgghh-
.
As soon as he opened the door, a shrill scream of a woman was heard.
And as if something had happened to make her shut her mouth right away, the sound of bubbles boiling from her mouth was heard at the same time.
Hwang Seong-yeon immediately frowned.
It was a sound he heard every time he came to this space, but
He didnt feel great every time he heard it.
The screams he enjoyed were not that kind of freaky scream.
Ugh- ugh- urggh-
O, oh. Bro, brother. Yo, youre he, here?
And as if noticing Hwang Seong-yeons presence, a man assembling the woman in question looked up.
Deeply sunken head and dark eye circles.
An atmosphere gloomier by far compared to Hwang Seong-yeon, the owner of Mageom (demon sword).
And somehow, features strangely resembling Hwang Seong-yeon.
It was Hwang Dong-yeon, the clan master of
I found it. What you were talking about.
Still frowning, Hwang Seong-yeon threw the Orb he had in his clothes towards Hwang Dong-yeon.
The legendary special item obtained by assaulting the academy during the recent joint operation.
It was [Order of Harmony].
Carefully receiving it, Hwang Dong-yeon asked in surprise.
O, oh! I, is this for real? Wo, wow. Ho, how?
What do you mean how. I poured all the clans power to get it. Our clan is now considerably more dangerous. I brought what you wanted so take care of it yourself.
An episode of
In this dungeon, werewolves who attempt to communicate with humans appear for the first time, completely reversing the perception of monsters by 180 degrees.
The details are complex, but to summarize it in one phrase:
That they were not simply a peculiar phenomenon, but like Holders, beings from another dimension entangled by the system.
Discoveries like the City of the Distorted Wolves dungeon and research into [Training Contract] runes triggered such a change in perception.
As Professor Kang Dong-wook was talking excitedly about this
He suddenly seemed to realize the time and said worriedly:
Ive been chatting for too long. Anyway, to get back to the main point, like other systems, common runes are also very important for the training system. Without support from common runes, the contract targets often cannot exert their full power.
To summarize his explanation:
When utilizing [Training Contracts]
The most important things are Leadership stat and support runes.
Among them, Leadership determines the trainable grade and number of contracts.
Below 10 Leadership, E-grade monsters up to can be trained, 10 or higher allows D-grade, 20 or higher allows C-grade, and 30 or higher allows training of B-grade monsters.
However, these are just general guidelines, and can vary greatly depending on the performance and level of the rune.
The maximum number of possible contracts also changes according to situational requirements.
Support runes are also absolutely critical.
The second element, support runes, is also key.
There are various common runes like [Language] and [Summoning] that Professor Kang Dong-wook explained, as well as [Magic Sharing], [Contract Reinforcement], etc.
Although each rune has slightly different effects and performance, most commonly they allow the contractors to get closer with them and slightly increase their combat efficiency.
Even if I succeed in training a monster right now, without these guys, I wouldnt be able to expect a meaningful increase in combat power.
But Holder Do doesnt have any of these common runes, right?
Professor Kang Dong-wook suddenly asked worriedly.
I dont know much about Multi-Holders, so I dont know how you obtain new runes. As I said before, even with the Training Contract rune, without other supporting runes equipped, it would be difficult to actively utilize the rune.
As I said before, training monsters has several prerequisite conditions, and without perfectly meeting them, it would be difficult to properly utilize [Taming Contract] no matter how high the runes level is.
Professor Kang Dong-wook was pointing that out.
Moreover, his guess was actually correct.
I only had the taming systems [Promise Bound by Dragon] rune, and didnt have any other common runes at all.
However, unlike Professor Kang Dong-wooks worries
These factors didnt worry me at all.
Professor, about how many students are there in the Academys taming system?
Students?
Professor Kang Dong-wook repeated in surprise at my sudden question.
Talking with a top expert then suddenly students in the system?
His expression was like, where did this irrelevant question come from?
Yes. Even within special systems, there are sub-systems right.
No matter how rare and special the taming system is, there are still students.
After all, the Special Systems Academy was established to educate such minor systems.
And according to Professor Kang Dong-wooks words
They must be specialized in the taming system.
The probability was high that they possessed all the support runes he mentioned.
Realizing this, I smiled slyly and said.
It would be best if there are as many as possible.
Support runes I currently dont have.
I had an easy way to obtain them.
Professor Kang Dong-wook answered with a slightly bewildered expression.
There are about 3 students But.
I nodded satisfactorily to that.
3 huh.
Nice, just right.
