Whooooa!!
A gigantic turtle, large enough to cover the entire huge river.
Due to its extremely bulky body, at first glance it looked like a whale, and with the trees surrounding its shell, it looked like an Island.
This turtle that introduced itself as Aspidochelon had very bright and shiny eyes as it looked at me.
Its a bit awkward.
The words it uttered were like that.
The oathbound of the great existence, I will safely transfer you
Somehow, its tone and gaze were as if it had been waiting for me.
It felt like I had to solve something for it.
But unfortunately, I didnt have time to think deeply about that.
Swish-
Because Master had taken out her weapon due to the sudden appearance of the monster.
I seem to have misunderstood. Jae-hyun, please wait here for a moment
Wait, Master!
I urgently stopped Masters movement.
With her Assassin-type traits, she could easily take care of most monsters if she put her mind to it.
If I had been just 3 seconds late
That turtle would have already become a corpse floating in the river.
Hearing my restraint, Master tilted her head and asked.
Why?
I think its a monster related to my runes. Ill take care of it.
Your runes, Jae-hyun?
Yes. Just a moment.
I slowly approached Aspidochelon.
By then, it had already moved its long neck near the land, still looking at me with its bright eyes.
And soon, familiar information windows greeted me.
[An ancient monster that was thought to be extinct exerts its magical power. Aspidochelon, who has entrusted his body to the great existence due to special circumstances, is currently free. Its loyalty remains, but if the conditions are met, you can also make a contract with it.]
[The Promise Bound by the Dragon rune and the Forgotten Dragon Knights Pride rune resonate with the ancient monster. With all the hidden special conditions met, it becomes possible to make a Contract with Aspidochelon. This contract is not affected by the command value and rune level.]
The two legendary runes once again resonated, facing special circumstances.
It was an information window similar to when I canceled and re-contracted with Bon.
At this, I used the [Hand of Contract] skill without hesitation.
The reasons were that this monster was a contract partner at a level too high for me to contract using my own abilities, and that communication with it would only be possible if the contract was successful.
Although the [Language] rune allowed me to hear the words of monsters, I still couldnt spit out their words at the same level.
[Contract successful! Promise Bound by the Dragon runes contract target list adds Aspidochelon (Water/Special). An abnormal contract, some abilities of the contractor are restricted.]
[Current Contract Monster List (2/3)]
[You have made a contract with an ancient and dignified existence. The astounding contract result sometimes drastically increases your understanding of runes.]Updated from
[The level of the Promise Bound by the Dragon rune has increased.]
[You gain 4 Leadership from the inclination of the rune.]
Informing me that the contract was successful, a series of information windows appeared in succession, and soon a dazzling light enveloped Aspidochelon.
It was a signal indicating that we were connected in a contract relationship.
As if to prove that, Aspidochelon stretched out its long neck and took a bowing posture towards me.
I, Aspidochelon, greet the oathbound of the great existence again.
Nice.
This time it worked properly.
As expected of an ancient monster who served the great existence.
Unlike some bad-tempered bone monster, it was very embracing.
With a satisfied smile, I continued the question I was asking earlier.
As. This lady next to me also wants to enter that territory, but is there a way? She doesnt have riding-related runes.
As the contractor I could ride contracted monsters even without related runes.
But Master was different.
Just like when Moon Ga-eun rode my Bon, having related runes was necessary to safely move around on monsters.
Hearing my words, As turned his long neck to look at Master for a moment.
Then looking back at me, it said.
She is also a guest of the great existence. She holds the proof of the great oathbound. Also, I have transportation related runes so you dont have to worry. I will safely transfer both of you.
After hearing that much, I turnd to look at Master.
It said both of us can get on and move.
Is that really True?
Yes. It has transportation related runes so even without riding runes, it seems we can travel safely.
Transportation runes.
As you saw, this thing movement speed is really fast so riding it well probably get there quickly.
Hearing my words, Master nodded her head a few times.
While we could move cleanly following Master since she had finished clearing the dungeon
Actually, if we could just go there, ignoring the standard clearing route was better.
Fighting dungeon monsters means accumulating fatigue, no matter the difficulty level.
No matter how many potions we brought, we could still easily get tired.
Our goal was not this dungeon itself but the double dungeon at the edge.
Minimizing the movement path was naturally advantageous.
Its a shame not being able to fight new monsters though.
Well for that, I could just tell Master later and come back to this dungeon anytime.
Besides, I already had 49 runes now so acquiring new ones would be difficult.
Papak- Pat-
Tak! Tap-
Having made the decision quickly, we soon moved our bodies and leapt onto Ass shell.
Its shell, which looked like a huge forest from afar.
When getting close, there really were lush trees growing on the shell.
Amazing. It really is like an island here.
I know right.
While we were admiring the peculiar shell of the giant turtle.
As, having finished preparing for movement, said to me.
Then, I will get going. Please hold on tight.
Wheres the handle though?
I didnt even have time to ask that.
After finishing its preparation, Aspidochelon immediately moved at a tremendous speed, cutting through the waterway.
