Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 673
Chapter 673: Star’s End (4)
How long has it been since Hans?
It’s been such a long time since I’ve encountered something like that…
It’s Hans…
‘The last time was K…’
Hans Caesar…
This is a guy I happened to meet on the Dark Continent when I was working as Lihen Schuitz…
And… ·
‘Less than two hours after we met, the Noark guys’ surprise attack began…
In the end, we got through it without much sacrifice, but something big could have happened…
If Raven hadn’t changed her mind in the middle, my journey that day would have been ‘ Because he could have ended up trapped in a ‘cage of silence’…
Anyway, this isn’t important…
‘Hans L…’
This is the code for Hans that we encountered this time…
Well, it’s a bit unclear whether the guy who turned into a monster and then fell was also judged to be ‘Hans’. Although I have doubts,
there is nothing wrong with being careful.
I’m excited!
I decided to follow the sound of my heart that started beating like crazy and shouted with all my might:
“Ready to move!!!”
Of course, people didn’t understand my reaction.
“···Huh? suddenly?”
“I can’t detect any sign of the monster at all…”
Lee Baek-ho and Archer make expressions that say they don’t understand.
However, as if they clearly recognized the urgency on my face, they corrected their posture and steadily prepared to move their bodies. “ It
’s an emergency… From now on, we need to get as far away from here as possible…”
“No, why do you have to—”
In an emergency, actions speak louder than words.
I dismissed many questions and started running first. He followed me…
Rather than just doing it because of crowd psychology, he had more faith that there was a reason for my actions.
“···Let’s go first! “There must be a reason why Baron Yandel acts like that!”
The flight began without warning. Hana
and her companions followed me and continued to raise questions.
“No, Baron!” So what is it! “Now tell me… I need to know what you’re running away from!”
It’s natural, but there was nothing I could say to answer that question.
Well, I don’t know either.
What should we run away from in the future?
“… Soon you’ll know…”
There’s nothing else I can say. Since I didn’t have anything to say, I just vaguely said,
“No, this Baron is really making people feel frustrated!”
Lee Baek-ho reacted as if he was going to die of frustration, but he didn’t suddenly stop in the middle…
And how much time had passed like that?
“…Human?”
A human figure appears at the end of our field of vision…
“It’s not a human, it’s Bayon…”
A dark-skinned monster with a black spider on its face…
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just one…
“… There are quite a few of them. ·”
Starting with the one in the lead, five Bayons appeared from behind, obscured by dark vision. ·
“Hey Baron! “What are we going to do now?”
“Eliminate it as quickly as possible and move again…”
“Okay, did everyone hear that?”
As soon as the order was given, the group, which was in a mobile formation, entered battle mode and faced Bayon. The
battle itself was not very difficult.
As the number of enemies was quite large, Lee Baek-ho did not rush in as aggressively as before, and although the speed was a bit fast, he steadily attacked Bayon. ‘I fought a battle while identifying them.
“What is this bastard! Why are you using all your skills?”
“···It is the essence of the guardian!”
“what? “A bastard like this has the essence of Pianil?”
In the case of the Bayons we encountered this time, the level of essence they possessed was much higher than expected, so the battle itself took quite a while…
’15 minutes…’
In fact, if you say that you caught six grade 3 monsters, it was incredibly fast, but For me, who had developed anxiety about Hans L, even that time felt long…
‘Anyway, no one was hurt, so it’s okay…’
I wanted to resume movement as soon as the battle was over, but unfortunately, my leadership skills couldn’t reach that point…
“Are you going to throw this all away? Wait a minute… Let’s just finish rooting…”
Lee Baek-ho ignored my words that he had to move quickly and started rooting.
Even when I told him I didn’t have time for that, the only response I got was a request to at least tell me what’s so urgent…
” Ha…
I was a little frustrated too…
Should I say that I can’t be honest even if I want to?
‘If you say it’s because of the name Hans… they’ll just snort…’ You wouldn’t know it
if you had seen, heard, and experienced it right next to me…
Even if I heard the Amman example, it would definitely be dismissed as a superstition…
And from then on, it wouldn’t go along with my insistence…
That’s why I’m doing it. It was a time when I was watching the countless looting process…
“Six Bayon… That’s a bit unusual…”
“That’s right… Maybe it’s the Land of Immortals… It’s not something that can be seen very often here…”
Two wizards They exchanged opinions with each other…
As they said, the appearance of so many Bayons was definitely an abnormal phenomenon…
However…
‘This can’t be the end…’
It was difficult to believe that this was the end of the Hans Effect…
That’s right, after what had happened so far. It should have been one or two.
“Okay, rooting is over now!”
Anyway, Lee Baek-ho also quickly finished rooting and was ready to move again.
But there was someone else who caught my steps.
“Wait a minute! “Everyone, please wait a moment!”
Lee Baek-ho’s team’s tanker Rek Aures:
He shouted as if he had discovered something, and I tried to ignore him because I thought he was going to say something nonsense again, but…
“You guys!” “These guys also have familiar faces!”
I heard words that I couldn’t hear…
***
“Bryatt! You too, check this out! “Aren’t these guys our explorers?”
“···What does that mean?”
In response to Aures’ request, the archer approached Bayon’s body and saw the body of Bayon with the spider covering its face torn off…
”
That’s right… Not all of them, but there are some familiar faces among them…”
Aures said Archer Bryant agrees.
After hearing that, the GM carefully put out a hypothesis.
“Isn’t there a possibility that they are members of the group of that man named Hans Deilan?”
“···huh?”
“Isn’t that true? When I heard the story, I heard that at first there were more than a hundred people wandering around the outside world together… I was wondering if it was them…” “
Huh? But didn’t you say they were scattered in the middle?”
Aures expressed his doubts, but I decided that it was quite possible. The best place to hide a
lie is by the truth
.
They may have been caught up in the incident…
In fact, such evidence is being discovered…
“… I think it has been at least a few months since they turned into monsters…”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know much about Bayon, but would you like to see the one with a sheath on its neck? It is highly likely that ‘monsterization’ occurred after death due to this injury…”
“···But?”
“However, it has been confirmed that the blood stains on the neck of the shirt here were made at least a few months ago…” A
reasonable reasoning, as befits a wizard who conducts experiments on a daily basis. Grandpa Destruction nods as if he
agrees…
“Hmm… Then, that Hans Deilan.” In fact, my Iranian friend may have died a few months ago—·”
I cut off mid-sentence·
“Daylan·”
“···?”
“Don’t call me by my name, just call me Daylan…”
That’s right, every time I hear the word “Hans,” my body flinches like a conditioned reflex.
“You care about all kinds of strange things…” He
even cut me off and tackled me. It looks strange for a moment, but the old man of destruction continues to speak…
“Anyway, a friend named Daylan also passed away a few months ago, and if the ‘monsterization’ has progressed, things get complicated…” “
Yes… That ‘Daylan’ we met is. That means it’s not ‘Dailan’…”
“Huh? What are you both talking about? “I don’t understand anything!”
“Aures… To put it simply, it means that someone pretended to be ‘Deylan’ and led us here…” “
···That’s right! Have we fallen into a trap?”
Soon, when Jaina explained it to her, Rek Aures was very surprised and let out a loud scream. It
was a familiar thing by now, so whether he did it or not, the two wizards continued to talk as if they had not heard anything.
“If our hypothesis is correct, this is the end for Bayon.” That may not be true…”
“Yes… I don’t know how much of the truth is true, but if more than a hundred people really had an accident here…” “There are
a lot of Bayons wandering around here. “It could be possible…”
That was the moment the two of them came to a conclusion while playing tiki-taka.
“The approach of monsters has been detected!”
Archer Bryant, who is in the searcher position, shouts loudly,
“The number is five… no, six… seven, fifteen…? “It continues to grow!”
Bryant speaks of numbers detected in real time.
It didn’t take long for the number that was five at first to exceed thirty.
“Monster rapids! “This is enough to call it a torrent of monsters!”
A monster torrent is an exploration term that refers to a sudden influx of monsters…
“A sudden monster wave?”
Players also refer to this as a monster wave ·
“Where did the torrent of monsters start?”
“They’re coming from all directions, no matter where we are. It’s as if they’re targeting us!”
It was an obvious anomaly…
Bayons that were barely visible when I was walking around all of a sudden suddenly gathered in groups of over a dozen…
‘… Was catching one a trigger for something?’
I don’t know the details, but right now it was time to take action rather than worry.
“No matter how many members I have, I think it would be a bit difficult to have dozens of them, right?”
“If another monster appears or a meteorite falls in the middle, we will be in big trouble…”
“There are fewer numbers in the northeastern direction…”
“Take the lead… I will try to avoid battle as much as possible…”
“Yes…”
After that . I assigned the role of guide to the archer with the widest detection radius among us and followed him…
But is that because he is clearly a top-class searcher?
“This way!”
An archer who uses his broad spirit to avoid encountering Bayons as much as possible.
“What do you think?” “Aren’t we a bit concerned about our archer’s directions?”
The archer laughs as if he is embarrassed at Lee Baek-ho’s words bragging about his colleague.
“Baek-ho, it was possible because there was a gap this time… If he had stayed there earlier and had noticed it too late, a battle would have been inevitable…” “
Yes. ? “What do you mean by that?”
“At first, I was a bit skeptical, but now I am certain… If you were there when we first killed Bayon, you would have already been completely surrounded by the time you sensed their presence…”
Aures made a fuss at Brayett’s humble words. I started to drop it:
“Oh, is that really?! Great job, Baron! “He suddenly said I had to get out!”
“… I’m curious too… How on earth did the Baron know…”
Lee Baek-ho’s eyes turned sinister as even the archer agreed with his words…
“Hey… I guess our Baron has that skill? Let’s see, Tank.” “I wonder if there’s something like that among the edible things…”
Lee Baek-ho, who started shadow boxing with the sincere belief that he had such a detection skill, said,
“Well, [Irritable Muscle] doesn’t have that much of a detection effect, and [Clock Hands of Regret] doesn’t have that much of a detection effect. Definitely not, and ‘Destiny Chaser’ didn’t seem to have much of a reaction… What is it?”
I didn’t say anything as I looked at Baekho Lee, who was talking to me one by one as if trying to gauge my reaction.
How could he possibly say that?
It wasn’t a skill, but ‘Hans’.
Even if I told him, not only would he not believe me, but it would be better for me to make him believe that he had other skills. Ida·
With that judgment, I kept my mouth shut and focused on escaping through the siege of the ‘Bayons’·
And how much time passed·
“The character has entered a special area·”
We left the old rock meadow and entered a new field. Entered·
「Field effect – A poisonous lava field is granted·」
「The character’s poison resistance value is fixed to 0·」
「Soul power recovery speed is reduced by 99%·」
「Warning: Be careful of explosions!」
Bubbling Boiling green lava·
Smoke-like toxic gas·
“···It doesn’t seem like they are following you anymore·”
Entering a new field, the explorer announces the end of the situation·
“You survived·”
“But fortunately, unconditional pursuit… I don’t think so…”
We’ve escaped Bayon’s monster wave.
However, the problem is that the warrior’s heart, still beating powerfully, is speaking…
Exciting!
It can’t end like this…
