What is the most efficient way to utilize the [Rune Hunter]?
Various rune acquisitions, proper combinations, high-level rune syntheses, etc.
It may vary depending on the approach, but if you had to choose the most effective thod, it would be obtaining high-level good runes.
While the grade is an important factor in evaluating runes, the level is an equally important core elent.
The higher the level, the different the proficiency.
And [Rune Hunter] typically registers acquired runes at about half the level.
Therefore, the higher the level of the opponents runes, that is, the more excellent the opponents level, the higher the value of the runes obtained.
Ironically, in order to obtain high-level runes, you have to beco a high-level Holder worthy of seizing them.
Thats why the rune levels have been low so far.
In general, the rune level is higher for Holders than for monsters.
While Holders consistently refine and grow their own runes over a long period of ti, monsters live their lives with growth halted in a specific space.
And most of the runes Ive hunted so far are monsters runes.
I did get so runes through a few duels with Holders, but I never fought an overwhelmingly strong opponent.
Thats why there was a limit to the level of the runes I acquired.
Ive hunted monsters up to A-grade, even S-grade monsters, but
Unfortunately, there were no runes exceeding level 10 when acquired.
.This ti its different.
However, s recent attack.
Battling quite powerful opponents, high-ranking Holders, the situation has changed.
The fruit of victory seized while fending off the sudden attack Was definitely different from before.
[You have won the duel! Your high contribution in the duel is recognized as a victory. With the wondrous power of the Rune Hunter, you can replicate one of your opponents runes. Please select the rune to replicate.]
[You have selected Art of Hidden Throwing Knives. As it is a 20-level epic rune, the level will drop to 10 when registered.]
[You have gained 5 speed from the runes nature.]
The rune proficiency changes from A-grade Holders.
Spy Ha Do-kwon and Kim Do-yoon temporarily showed a form comparable to A-grade with [Berserk Potion], but This was just a comparable form at best.
There was a clear limit to how much ability scores could be pumped up.
Even so 20 levels
On the other hand, Ji Yoon-jae was a senior clan mber of .
Unlike those I faced before, he demonstrated the full capabilities of an A-grade Holder.
Of course, he was incomparable to lower-level Holders in terms of rune level and utilization, and the results of victory were also astonishing.
The proficiency of a main rune at level 20 was beyond imagination.
With this, I was able to obtain an epic rune at level 10.
[You have selected Intolerable Gravity. As it is a 20-level epic rune, the level will drop to 10 when registered.]
[You have gained 5 magic from the runes nature.]
Wow.
And it was the sa with Cha Soo-yeon.
She took a big hit from my [Distortion of Shadow] and fled, so [Rune Hunter] recognized my victory.
Thats why I was able to acquire her main rune [Intolerable Gravity].
It was the mont when two level 10 epic runes were added to the at once.
I slowly looked through the information on the newly acquired runes.
Na: Art of Hidden Throwing Knives
Grade: Epic (E)
Level: 10
Engraved Location: Finger Joints
Special Effects
: You can expertly wield daggers, daggers and other non-tallic weapons. You can freely utilize various techniques handed down from the Darkmoon clan, a shadow clan.
: When used with concealnt runes, the power increases by 20%.
: If you infuse magic and throw knives, you can montarily bend their direction. There is no limit to when you can bend, and the attack is made with 70% of the original power.
Derived Skills:-
Ultimate Skill :-
[Knife Rain]
Detailed Information:-
: A specialized knife technique from the Darkmoon clan, the arch-enemy of the barbarian tribe Barbarians. Although it is said to be very difficult to acquire and the techniques are abstruse making it hard to hand down, there are still those who continue the tradition.
Ji Yoon-jaes main rune [Art of Hidden Throwing Knives] was a kind of mighty rune.
Since the rune itself contained technical thodologies, the effects were simple and there were no derived skills.
Among my runes, it was similar to [Wave Sword Technique], [Water Sword Technique], or [Plum Blossom Sword Technique].
Instead, once the rune level reached the benchmark, the ultimate skill could be utilized.
Knife rain
A skill that shoots out 21 daggers in random directions at a target.
It was Ji Yoon-jaes trademark ultimate skill and also the supre physical attack I had just experienced in the previous battle.
It was one of his powers that I coveted the most, and now it beca my power.
Since I was relatively lacking skills for physical attacks, this seed like an attractive skill.
Na: Intolerable Gravity
Grade: Epic (E)
Level: 10
Engraved Location: Collarbone
Special Effects:-
: You can freely manipulate gravity and your understanding of gravitational forces increases.
: The status condition slow is applied to all magic manifested through this rune.
: As this manipulates the gravity of a specific area rather than a specific target, all magic manifested through this rune takes the form of area of effect magic. Depending on rune level and magic level, the area that can be expanded varies.
Derived Skills:-
[Press Down]
Ultimate Skill:-
[Reverse Gravity] (Restricted)
Detailed Information:-
: A rune specialized in manipulating gravity within the elental power system. The gradually increasing pressure of gravity makes anyone collapse unbearably.
Hmm.
After reading each piece of information on the runes, I felt that Cha Soo-yeons [Intolerable Gravity] had unexpectedly low applicability.
The overall performance is good.
The fact that status conditions are inherently included in all magic, the fact that all magic has an area of effect
These are effects that have nothing to fault.
Its a sha its not an attribute rune.
However, the flaw was that this rune was not an attribute magic rune, but a special magic rune.
Special magic runes basically require arrangent and manifestation of magic as an essential elent, and are heavily influenced by supporting runes.
Just looking at the area of effect magic trait of [Intolerable Gravity], you can see the premise that you must be able to expand magic in that area.
Therefore, unlike attribute magic runes that can easily conjure fire, lightning, etc. with just light magic
These specialized special magic runes were not easy to utilize.
The fact that the ultimate skill [Reverse Gravity] was in a restricted state was also a phenonon that occurred because the level requirent was t but such necessary conditions were not satisfied.
It would be inefficient to start learning spells now.
My main focus is and will always be physical attacks.
I do utilize magic, but I dont arrange and manifest magic using incantations like other magic Holders.
Even if I were to learn this and beco able to use it, such tendencies would not match well with my combat style.
But Press Down looks usable.
Fortunately, the derived skill of applying intense gravitational increase on an individual target, [Press Down], seed to have high applicability.
Unlike other magics, this could be used simply by lightly eliciting magic.
It felt like I had gained a solidifying status condition skill.
As for the rest Nothing more.
Unfortunately, there were no runes acquired from Koo Myeong-hoon.
Among the academy students, he was a Multi-Holder who handled elental fire magic runes and swordplay in a textbook manner.
Perhaps because of that, the runes he possessed were all ones I already had.
I thought so new rune might appear since he was using sothing like a demon sword, but it was simply the performance and effects of the item.
It seed there were no dramatically appearing new runes.
Then.
After trying out the newly acquired [Art of Hidden Throwing Knives ] and [Intolerable Gravity] a few tis, I tidied up my weapons and left the training grounds.
There were no runes that needed further inspection.
I did read over the new Legendary Rune [Promise Bound by Dragon] as well, but this one is not yet a rune that can be directly utilized in combat.
Now I had to ntally picture tomorrows operation and focus on the progress of the plan.

The day dawned.
Early morning.
In front of the academy main gate, there were a total of 8 Holders.
The four that Professor Tak Won-ho had gathered yesterday.
Professor Kim Myeong-hyun, Professor Kang Dong-wook, Yoo Eun-seol, and .
In addition, personnel dispatched from the top 3 clans in the country, and personnel dispatched from the Korean Hunter Association ca.
This operation will consist of an advance party and follow-up forces. As the advance party, we will first locate the position of the Villain clan following Professor Kangs search, then raid their base at the sa ti as the follow-up forces.
Professor Kim Myeong-hyun, who was the team leader, briefly explained.
That is, the current 8 people are the advance party mbers.
Since personnel representing each clan and the association ca, the mbers were quite prominent.
Nice to et you all. I hope we can definitely eradicate Villain this ti.
Kim Dae-won, an A-grade Holder, ca from the Korean Holder Association.
Kim Dae-won is considered one of the top rankers among the dostic new generation series, and is also known for his generous support for lower-ranking Holders such as free healing or rotating treatnt. He can be seen as soone who has greatly contributed to publicizing the positive influence in the Holder Association.
Im Park Chang-hyun.
Im Kwon Oh-jun.
Park Chang-hyun, an A-rank Hunter, ca from , and Kwon Oh-jun, a rising executive of , attended.
It would be difficult for the head-rankers to co, but they were Holderers that carried a plank in their respective clans.
However, went a step further.
A key executive nad Moon Jung-hyuk, one of the founding contributors, ca as the advance party mber.
Despite magic-types not being necessary for the advance party, he insisted on having at least one archer-type, using sowhat logical reasoning.
Thanks to him, I was able to see his face again after a very long ti.
Its been a while, Holder Moon Jung-hyuk.
Oh my, I almost forgot what my future son-in-law looks like since I havent seen you in so long.
Huh?
What was this guy talking about?
I doubted my ears for a mont and asked back, then scanned my surroundings faster than anyone else.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, it seed no one had heard that.
Um Mr. Moon Jung-hyuk. Please keep that talk a secret externally
Hmm? Ah, right. Haha. Sorry about that. I blanked out for a mont. I was just happy to see you again, thats all.
Yes, yes.
This was like a ti bomb that could go off at any mont.
Fortunately, Moon Ga-eun was not here.
If she saw us together, who knows what nonsense Moon Jung-hyuk would have spurted out.
Then, shall we get going now? Professor Kang.
Yes.
The chaotic atmosphere quickly settled down at Professor Kim Myeong-hyuns words.
Professor Kang Dong-wook lowered his head.
Then he stared intently at the small monster lying on the back of his hand.
He seed to be confirming the Bugs Signal, the key to this operation, as the tar.
And not long after
Professor Kang raised his head.
Its west.
And so.
The counterattack against the clan began.
