As soon as I saw that peculiar information window.
I told my party members that I would go to the bathroom for a moment.
Of course, there is no bathroom in the dungeon, but it means that I will quickly take care of my business and come back.
And when the distance was a bit far.
I was able to comfortably check the information window again.
“Suddenly a superior rune…?”
I rub my eyes and look into the air.
I was just checking the information about the newly acquired runes, and a golden information window about ‘Higher Rune Combination’, which I had forgotten for a while, appeared.
The superior rune I currently have is [Master of Martial Arts].
A rune that I acquired when the function of superior runes first appeared.
If this combination is successful, it will be the second time to acquire a superior rune.
I checked the information window that I had read earlier again.
[There are currently combinable runes. You can acquire superior runes using the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter.]
[Superior Rune: Descendant of the Barbarian King / Lower Rune: Lizard Scale, Tough Wolf Skin, Herculean Strength, Sturdy Fangs, Sharp Claws, Sharp Fangs, Prey Search, Quadruped Combat]
“Crazy. There are so many.”
There were quite a few runes selected as lower runes.
No, actually it’s not that many.
Even in [Master of Martial Arts] last time, 8 runes were selected.
However, the reason why this combination’s lower runes look particularly many.
And what stands out more than before…
“Almost all are rare runes.”
The reason was that all the runes selected as lower runes were rare runes, except for [Quadruped Combat].
Considering that all lower runes were normal runes during [Master of Martial Arts], this time it’s quite a consuming combination.
Moreover, from [Lizard Scale] and [Sturdy Fangs], which have been active as filial piety runes from before, to [Prey Search] and [Sharp Fangs] recently acquired…
Most of the runes were auxiliary runes in the body strengthening series.
From this, it could be predicted that the higher rune to be combined would also naturally be in the body strengthening series.
“Hoo… First of all, before combining, let’s start with the newly acquired rune.”
In a situation where you don’t even know the ability of the lower rune to be combined immediately.
There was a need to check new rune information.
I called each rune information.
A total of 4 runes were acquired after entering the dungeon.
[Agility], [Tough Wolf Skin], [Sharp Fangs], [Prey Search].
The first two are from Gray Wolf, the next is from Black Wolf, and the last is from A-grade mid-boss monster Athena.
“They all seem ordinary….”
Looking at the rune information, there was nothing special about the first three.
[Agility] is a normal rune in the law method series that is inferior to [Agile Agility], and [Tough Wolf Skin] and [Sharp Fangs] are rare runes in the body strengthening series that have been steadily obtained so far.
But [Prey Search].
This is definitely different.
As you can see from its name, it’s a ‘searching type rune’ common to archer classes… And because it’s a rare grade, it has much better performance than normal rune [Search].

: The search for prey by predators. The prey caught on radar will not be able to escape easily.
“It’s decent.”
It was a standard search type rune.
I’ve often been wandering around because I didn’t have a search type rune when I was soloing dungeon exploration or field hunting so far, but now I don’t have to experience such inconvenience anymore.
Moreover, because it has ‘prey’ in its name, its search performance for animals doubles.
This was an additional effect that could be helpful depending on the situation.
“So now….”
I called up the golden information window again.
All new rune information has been checked too.
Now it was really time to combine ‘the second superior rune’.
After calming down my heart pounding for some reason, I proceeded with the combination slowly.
[You have combined Superior Rune ‘Descendant of the Barbarian King’. Lizard Scale, Tough Wolf Skin,… Quadruped Combat etc., a total of 8 runes are selected as lower runes. The judgment level of the superior rune combined with the lower runes is 3.]
[You have acquired a new rune.]
[You gain 4 strength and toughness each due to the nature of the rune.]
The rune information appeared immediately.
