Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

Chapter 350

Side. Transcendent’s Room: Parellis(4)

Unlike other dungeons composed of complex conquest processes and boss room stages, is completed after finishing just one phase.

Instead, the difficulty of that ‘one phase’ is extremely high.

In the first room, Fluvius, a doppelganger appeared as the boss monster.

A powerful doppelganger that took on Fluvius’s form and utilized her water-related abilities.

Even with Master Yoo Eun-seol and I attacking with all our might, it was difficult to defeat easily.

In academia, it was dubbed the world’s first ‘SS-grade monster’.

And in the second room, Canales, there was a disaster using terrain features.

Intense flames burst out from all directions, and by the time we finished the conquest, we were hit by an overwhelming level of magical attacks.

If it wasn’t for Kang Juyeon, who had awakened [Traces of the Dragon Clan] at the time, we probably would have died instantly.

That’s exactly what was – with excellent rewards but shockingly high difficulty.

Kyaooo-!!

Kieeee-!!

And the third room.

Another great domain, Dragon Lair.

As soon as I entered here, I could tell what kind of trial this would be.

‘It’s a Monster Break.’

A trial where monsters pour in en masse, and we have to defeat all of them.

At first glance, it might seem like an ordinary trial, but looking at the numbers before me, it’s anything but ordinary.

‘...Can we really catch them all?’

For a moment, such a question crosses my mind.

There are many.

Really, there are too many.

This almost feels like watching the undead hordes rushing in from .

No, since they’re charging from the air, their momentum is even stronger.

‘Let’s fight first.’

Just standing still and watching won’t bring a solution.

We had to engage first.

I immediately used [Call of Contract] to summon Tyrbon.

-It’s been a while, master.

‘Tyrbon. Can you see the monsters ahead?’

-...I wish I hadn’t, master.

‘Take a good look. That’s the number you’ll be taking down today.’

After telling the whining Tyrbon that he had no choice, I looked at Moon Ga-eun.

“Ga-eun, you know, right?”

“Yeah. I’ll try to hold out as much as I can.”

Only Holders with riding-type runes can move the [Magic Airship].

And in the current situation where aerial monsters are rushing in, I’m the only one who can take the lead, handling Tyrbon.

Therefore, the remaining clan members had to engage in battle from inside the [Magic Airship], taking a defensive stance as much as possible.

Although I’ll be dealing with the monsters in front, fighting alone means I can’t catch all the monsters that slip by.

Kyaooo-!!

Kyaa, kyaaa-!!

After finishing my battle preparations, I flew upwards riding Tyrbon.

And in one hand, I held the [Wyvern Spear] without fail.

During the charge.

And a skill that exerts quite powerful force in aerial combat.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

‘Accel Piercing...!!’

Now undoubtedly my main skill, for the use of [Accel Piercing].

“As you well know, only beings who have even a slight connection with the great dragons can receive the Transcendent’s trial.”

This was a fact I was well aware of from previous experience.

My master, Yoo Eun-seol, had earned the right to receive the trial through the conquest of , and I, who possessed the [Forgotten Dragon Knight’ Pride] rune, naturally had the qualifications for the trial.

Additionally, Kang Juyeon, who possessed Canales’s ability as a rune, also had the right to enter.

In other words, is not a dungeon that anyone can enter just by discovering it.

It’s a special dungeon that can only be entered if conditions related to the Transcendent are met.

That would probably be the case even if the Transcendent wasn’t a dragon.

“But my trial is a bit unique compared to other Transcendents’ trials. I create almost unlimited doppelgangers of my subordinates and send them to the challengers, and I observe the collaborative process of defeating them. In other words, it’s about checking the challenger’s leadership and command abilities.”

Only then did I understand why clan members without qualifications were able to enter.

The trial given by the Transcendent Parellis.

In short, it was a trial to confirm ‘collaboration with companions’.

Since it was a battle fought with companions from the start, of course everyone could enter.

Moreover, there was one more variable.

“-But that all became meaningless. Because you alone defeated all of my subordinates.”

“...Ah.”

That was why Parellis’s expression was strange.

We solved the trial, but in a completely different way.

We completed the conquest in a way that was totally different from the ‘examiner’s intention’.

Thanks to this, we easily passed the trial, but from Parellis’s perspective, it seemed difficult to decide how to give the conquest reward.

I scratched my head and asked her.

“-But we passed, right?”

“Hmm....”

Anyway, the Transcendent’s trial ends when the Transcendent appears and declares it passed.

Once we entered the Dragon Lair, we had essentially completed this .

Parellis, who had been looking perplexed, soon put her hand on the table as if she had made up her mind.

“Very well. I’ll give rewards to all humans who participated in the trial. Just know that there may be differences in rewards for those who don’t have qualifications.”

“Thank you, Lady Parellis!”

No matter how different the rewards are, the rewards for conquering are on a different level compared to existing dungeons.

Seeing me make a deal with a dragon in such a short time-.

“Wow....”

“You’re ruthless....”

The clan members genuinely marveled.

...It was high praise.

Anyway, we were able to successfully conquer and receive various rewards.

And then.

[Amazing achievement! A golden tower that no one can easily build, you have received and overcome all of the Transcendent’s harsh trials. With this unbelievable achievement, all the power you possess achieves rapid and dazzling growth.]

[You gain 3 points each to all general, special, and resistance abilities due to the rune’s nature.]

A huge change also occurred in my growth, which had been stagnant until now.
