[Sword That Swallowed Darkness] was, as expected, the martial arts rune that Hwang Seong-yeon had been using.
At first it was difficult to be certain since it didn’t have a name like ‘Swordsmanship’ attached, but this had a similar structure to the [Brave Eternal Wave] that I possess.
It seems that because it was a swordsmanship and legendary rune completed over a long time by such a famous figure, it had this unusual name.
“...Nice.”
The performance of the rune feels good just from the description.
The martial power of the swordsmanship itself is excellent, and the set special effects are all worthwhile.
It’s an ability that truly stands out as a legendary martial arts rune.
But more than anything, what I wanted most was something else.
“Boundary Binding, it got it right.”
[Boundary Binding], the ultimate skill that drove me to the brink of death in the latter part of the battle with Hwang Seong-yeon.
As I had guessed, this skill was the ultimate skill of the [Sword That Swallowed Darkness] rune.
I’ve already experienced it myself, but depending on how it’s used, this skill has infinite potential.
It can be used as a status effect skill that instantly breaks down the opponent in extreme situations, and it’s also perfect to use as a simple attack skill because its power itself is remarkable.
It’s certainly a skill that could be considered top-tier among the ultimate skills I possess.
Honestly, I had been feeling regretful about missing out on runes that seemed obviously overpowered at first glance, like [Hoegni’s Agent] or [Believe of the Fallen Knight]...
But getting this skill alone made me feel like all that regret was washed away.
Kuhuhuhu-!!
Kiiiii-.
And around the time I was reading the information window.
Suddenly, flying monsters gather around.
Familiar forms and unique appearances, enormous sizes.
It was the A-grade monster Manticore that I had been hunting to the point of tedium.
“Right. These guys appear right from the dungeon entrance.”
I felt it was perfect timing.
I needed subjects to test the newly acquired rune and skill, and they came looking for me on their own.
I jumped up from the ground and rose into the sky.
‘I don’t need Tyrbon.’
The purpose of this hunt is to test newly acquired abilities.
If so, there’s no need to summon Tyrbon.
If I fight together with him, rather than fighting orthodoxly using a sword, it would immediately lead to an aerial battle form pursuing efficiency.
Now, rather, I had to fight alone in the air using the levitation effect of [Mystical Dragon Boots].
Kuhuhuhu-!!
Kiiiii-.
As soon as I flew up to face the Manticores, I lightly drew out the divine sword and swung it.
The swordsmanship I’m using is [Sword That Swallowed Darkness].
The martial arts rune I acquired this time.
Sak- Sasasak-!!
Kuhuhu-?!
And the moment I started slashing smoothly with the sword.
Both the Manticore being attacked and I using it were surprised at the same time.
‘What is this.’
The way of using magic within the swordsmanship that I naturally came to know is peculiar.
At the moment of slashing, it concentrates magic sharply at the tip of the sword to enhance lethality.
It’s a method anyone who knows how to handle a sword and magic can do, but the application of [Sword That Swallowed Darkness] was much more meticulous and clean.
‘...It’s incredibly strong.’
And powerful.
The manifestation of divine power became much smoother, and the performance of the divine sword increased significantly.
As if my previous use of the divine sword was just scratching the surface, I became able to handle the divine sword as freely as my own limbs.
This is the ‘dedicated rune’ of a mythical item.
This was the true power of [Apprentice Agent of Sednilen].
Moreover....
“Isn’t this derived skill totally overpowered?”
An exclamation of admiration escapes my mouth without realizing it.
The derived skill [Merciful Grace Period].
Even though there are skills limited to a 7-day cooldown, being able to reset the cooldown of already used skills to zero.
What kind of cheating skill is this?
Just off the top of my head, I can think of multiple uses of [Accel Piercing], double [Dragon Breath], turning the surroundings into a sea with [New Wave]....
Countless ways to maximize my combat abilities came to mind.
This rune possessed an overpowered skill that finally made me understand the word ‘authority’.
And finally.
“Sleep in Great Mercy.”
Kuhehehe-!!
Kiiiii-!
The ultimate skill I created myself, [Merciful True Demon Sword].
I tried using this skill on a group of airborne monsters, including manticores.
Not in the ‘2nd form’ like with Hwang Seong-yeon, but in the ‘1st form’.
The manifestation method is a slash.
It was similar to the now-deleted [Divine Slash], which transformed into dozens of forms and flew around.
And as soon as it was used.
An enormous amount of divine power exploded inside the divine sword, and the resulting slashes instantly swept away the surroundings.
“......”
I was at a loss for words at the unbelievable sight.
There were at least a dozen A-grade or higher monsters, all of which died instantly.
It was an ultimate skill with unbelievable power, even though I created it myself.
“...Let’s go home.”
I scratched my head as I slowly descended from the sky.
No further testing was necessary.
The rune rewards obtained through this conquest were proven to be overpowered.
Of course, this is also due to the synergy with the runes and abilities I’ve accumulated so far, but even putting that aside, the inherent performance of the runes was good.
“It’s embarrassing to even call myself an A-grade Holder now.”
On the way back, I briefly skim through the
Endlessly listed information and lavishly decorated abilities.
All possessed stats exceeded 90, and the main stats (strength, magic, speed) all exceeded 110.
Starting from transcendent numerical values in stats, now even the proficiency of possessed abilities and runes was heading towards the path of a top-tier Holder.
I could feel for myself that I had definitely surpassed the level of an A-grade Holder.
And.
When I came out of the dungeon after finishing that short test period.
[Lee Ji-hye/Holder Association] Holder! Are you still in the dungeon? Please reply when you come out and check this message. The schedule for the ‘S-grade Holder Promotion Assessment’ that you applied for before has finally been set!
Speak of the devil.
The schedule I had been waiting for quite a while was just around the corner.
Access to all month’s chapter + 10/20 chapters ahead for 18$/32$ via Buymeacoffee
Schedule: 4 ch per wk @ [mon, wed, fri, sun]
Anyway... Happy Reading!!!
