Gya-ooo-!!
Kii-ii-!!
Tyrbon’s low-altitude flight begins.
Flying high makes it difficult to locate enemy mages, so flying low and searching was the best option.
Of course, flying low has its disadvantages too.
Khu-eong-!!
Kii-
Kigigi-!!
The chimeras that we had barely shaken off in the sky come rushing at us again.
From five or six to ten.
From ten to dozens.
An uncountable number of monsters leap and fly towards us.
Thanks to this, Tyrbon and I fend them off and sometimes hunt them, while maintaining focus on searching for the enemy mage’s position.
It was truly a fierce chase.
[Contractor ‘Tyrbon’ has used the derivative skill ‘Loyal Imitation’ of the ‘Law of Contract’ rune. ‘Tyrbon’ speed becomes 106 for 1 minute.]
And the derivative skill of [Law of Contract] activates during battle.
I cheered for the skill used at ‘Tyrbon’ own discretion.
‘Well done, Tyrbon.’
-This much is basic.
Tyrbon’s original speed is 63.
It’s a somewhat low stat compared to its strength or endurance which easily exceeds 100.
Moreover, the only movement-type rune it possesses, [Agility], is still at a low level of 7 since I had transferred it through ‘Rune Bestowal’.
Using [Loyal Imitation] to increase speed under these conditions is an excellent choice.
Especially in chaotic situations like now when monsters are swarming.
Pababat-!!
Khu-eo-eo-
Bang! Kwang!
Sounds that can hardly be called hand-to-hand combat are heard, and Tyrbon continues its acrobatic-like flight.
Striking with wings, wrapping with tail, pushing with body.
The recently acquired combat-type rune, [Aerial Martial Artist], was shining.
Enemy chimeras fell as soon as they flew in, and Tyrbon’s flight showed no signs of stopping.
“Heuup...!!”
I wasn’t idle either.
Our now quite familiar battle pattern.
Falling during flight to engage in individual combat...
Then returning to Tyrbon to resume flight.
Trusting our synergy, I dropped from the sky.
And in both hands, I drew [Claw Short Swords].
The rune I’m using is [Plum Blossom Sword Technique].
[The passing wind and falling petals. Beauty that’s hard to express continues to meld into your swordsmanship. Through repeated remarkable realizations, the faintly glowing fragments come together and are finally completed.]
[The ultimate skill ‘Falling Blossom Aesthetics’ of the ‘Plum Blossom Sword Technique’ rune is officially registered. You can use the skill through voice command!]
The ultimate skill finally completed through joint research with Master and personal training.
I now perfectly understood the skill’s operating principle to the point where my body remembered it, and knew the most efficient output value for using the skill.
And the voice command I’ve grown accustomed to through constant practice.
“Fall.”
I activate [Falling Blossom Aesthetics].
Using the speed of falling from Tyrbon as a foothold, I delivered sword strikes to all the chimeras within range.
A speed close to a gale.
Power similar to a slash.
The rough and blind movements were creating rules only when blended and fired as one.
It was like...
A stroke of landscape painting where beautifully bloomed flowers sway and paint the sky...
It was an attack like that.
Kwa, kwagaga-!!
Bang! Bang! Kwagagang-!!
It quickly began to concentrate in one place from all over my body, and eventually became a large shield blocking in front of me.
And then.
Whooosh-
Ku, Kwaaaa-!!
As if it were a lie.
It ‘deleted’ the touch of the dark magical hand.
The enemy magician’s ultimate skill...
I blocked it with just one special effect inherent in my equipment.
The future I had imagined until 3 seconds ago completely changed.
“I, it can’t be....”
The enemy magician who watched the scene muttered blankly.
A face that couldn’t believe it at all.
‘...I feel the same way.’
To be honest, I was surprised too.
I knew my armor [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath] had a ‘Divine Protection’ effect... But I thought it was for blocking surprise attacks or curses, not for blocking head-on like this.
Moreover, the special effect of the [Silver Moonshadow] rune.
A performance that maximizes the sensitivity of holy equipment.
The unexpected synergy of these two effects created a powerful protection that I couldn’t have achieved with my original divine power stat (73).
It was the result of my attempts to acquire any good runes.
‘Purple Force Howling...!!’
I didn’t miss the opportunity that rolled in on its own.
Falling from the air, I use [Purple Force Howling] while shouting.
‘Howling’, a derivative skill of [Boiling Werewolf Power].
Among them, purple decreases the vision of designated targets.
It completely restricts the vision of the chimeras appearing to protect the magician.
They tried to block me but got lost, bumping into each other.
And then.
“Where do you think you’re going, you bastard.”
Whoosh-!!
I stab my sword into the shoulder of the magician trying to turn tail and run.
I saw a [Magic Shield] being generated quickly, but my sword easily pierced through the shield and into his flesh.
Of course, the name of the sword is [Sword of Repentance].
It was even more effective against this guy who mainly uses black magic.
“Ugh, Uwaaaaah...!!”
The magician’s painful scream is heard.
It must have been so painful that he seems to have completely lost his will to fight with this one stab.
[You have won the duel! With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can copy one of your opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to copy.]
Seeing this information window appear without any delay means just that.
‘Spineless bastard.’
I clicked my tongue and called Tyrbon, whom I had sent up to the sky earlier.
‘Bon, come back.’
-...Master, you’re casually calling me Bon.
‘Ah, sorry. Tyrbon, come quickly and bite this guy.’
-Bite him?
‘Yeah. Just not enough to kill him. Or you can take him to our clan members while biting him. Whatever it is, we need to capture this guy as a prisoner and interrogate him.’
-Understood.
With that, Tyrbon immediately approached us.
Then he bit the magician’s waist as ordered.
Just not enough to kill him.
“Uwaaah!! Ugh, ughh... S, save me!!”
“You won’t die, you idiot.”
After hitting the head of the overly dramatic magician to shut him up, I picked up my sword again.
Now that I’ve dealt with the most important one, it was time to help my allies and finish the battle.
