Bonus chapter thanks to @ Someone subscribing to Legendary Tier on Buymeacoffee.




The immense amount of information before me leaves me speechless without me realizing it. Suddenly, I felt like a fool for hesitating to combine the [Sword] and [Dagger] runes, as the special power granted to the [Rune Hunter], the ‘higher-tier rune combination,’ was a remarkable function that surpassed my imagination.


“Wait, what grade is this…”


Firstly, it’s at the Epic grade.


Did combining 8 Normal runes lead to an Epic rune?


Even the wise never had such a clever combination.


Until now, I had a total of 5 Epic runes, and each of them boasted astonishing performance.


Naturally, this rune also demonstrated a performance fitting of its Epic grade.


First, the special effect.


Proficiency adjustment of lower-tier runes through higher-tier runes.


Although the words are a bit convoluted, the conclusion is that as the level of [Master of Martial Arts] increases, the proficiency of runes I haven’t used before, like [Axe] or [Blunt], would also increase, much like [Dagger].


“It’s good.”


Since the other lower-tier runes are far from my main runes, I didn’t have time to focus on them individually, but with the proficiency naturally increasing… The growth potential seems quite abundant.


Moreover, they can be raised individually as well.


Just like how I’ve been improving [Sword] and [Dagger], I can increase their proficiency by training their abilities.


In reality, the only thing that disappeared was the rune’s level.


There was hardly any difference from before. In fact, it became even better.


Proficiency adjustment of higher-tier runes.


Through this, the range of growth has become much broader, and the limit on the number of obtainable runes has increased by 7.


Secondly…


“The Art of Weapon Exchange. This is seriously absurd.”


The Art of Weapon Exchange.


I named this special effect that for convenience.


It’s an effect that allows me to freely replace certain storage spaces that are in contact with my body…


In other words, if ‘weapons’ are stored in a storage space like a magic bag, I can replace them as I please.


This effect was something I’ve needed for a long time.


My current main weapons are the Sword and Dagger.


I mainly use the Sword for close combat and the Dagger mostly for throwing… essentially as a sort of secondary weapon.


Hence, the Daggers are fixed to my waist, making it easy to carry four of them, and there’s rarely any inconvenience when using both weapons.


“But using a Shield is the problem.”


When using the Sword focused on attacks with two hands, there’s a drawback that it’s inconvenient to retrieve a Shield from the magic bag when I need to use it.


Especially when I’m conquering solo dungeons, utilizing both a Bow and Shield, and even switching to a long Spear…


There’s been significant inconvenience in changing them out until now.


In that regard, the special effect of [Master of Martial Arts] is attractive.


Even as a dealer wielding two-handed Swords, I can easily switch to being a tank by wielding a Shield, or I can switch to using a long Spear when I need ranged attacks.


For someone like me who uses various weapons in combat…


This Art of Weapon Exchange was a necessary effect.


Since Shields are included in the weapons, and with Knuckles included, it’s highly versatile.josei


“War Declaration of a Hundred Soldiers skill is quite decent.”


[War Declaration of a Hundred Soldiers] is a skill that allows you to ignore all physical attacks from long-range for 10 minutes.


There’s a drawback that it doesn’t ignore magic attacks, but there are many merits to being able to defend against long-range physical attacks for a certain amount of time during combat.


Especially, another Epic rune I possess, [Ruthless Charge], ignores all physical attacks during a charge.


Ignoring physical attacks with [Ruthless Charge] during a charge, and ignoring long-range physical attacks with [War Declaration of a Hundred Soldiers] during combat.


It seemed to have a lot of usefulness when used in combination.


“…I’ve read it all.”


After reading all the information, including the details of [Combat Healing] obtained from sparring with Shin Yu-na, the long matrix of the information window has come to an end.


The time spent in the bathroom was quite long, but it was a thoroughly rewarding time.


Above all…


“I want to try it out quickly.”


Having confirmed all the new information.


My body feels itchy.


I want to quickly test the new rune and abilities I acquired.


Should I head to a dungeon?


It’s getting dark outside, and it’s too late to hunt field monsters.


And at that moment.


Bwoooong-!


As if understanding my feelings.


Just like a lie, my phone rang.


And there was a message from a familiar name.


[Park Jin-woo]


What are you doing? I’m bored. Let’s have a match.


“He’s here. My sandbag.”


The appearance of the agile frog that would serve as my test subject had arrived.
