Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 125
Episode 125 Deceased Person (4)
People are often said to be social animals.
I don’t know who said it first, but it’s a very appropriate analogy.
It may not be as primitive as animals, but it’s the same thing for people to judge someone through their first impression.
In order to be respected, you need to not be looked down upon.
Especially if it’s a transfer student position that gets stuck in the middle.
“You… what now…?”
The fox mask asks, like someone who heard it wrong.
On the other hand, the other masks are watching the situation as if it is interesting.
It is a kind of reporting ceremony.
The first impression will be determined by what actions I take here.
So—
“You talk about it one more time.”
Facing the fox mask staring at you with ferocity, it is clearly imprinted so that there is no misunderstanding.
“The person who recommends here is yours —”
“What kind of baby like this?!”
Crazy guy, crazy bastard, etc.
No matter what you hear, you judge that it will be better than giving a weak image.
However, I was not expecting this as well.
“Hey you.”
The moment when the blue eyes radiated through the cracks in the fox mask.
‘……It’s a strange feeling.’
My skin tingles with the clear intent to kill that I can feel through my skin.
Not a description, really.
Feeling the threat to life, my heart beats and goose bumps rise.
How is this possible in a world where physical force itself does not exist?
Fortunately, there was information about this phenomenon.
‘This is the skill.’
It’s the first time I’ve been directly affected, but it must be the technique Lee Baek-ho taught me earlier.
It was said that it could only be used in Ghostbusters, a spiritual world that operates with a clear will and thought.
It’s not particularly useful, but it’s a catch technique only for old people who were said to be perfect for scaring newbies.
“Could you say the same one more time?”
Soon, the fox mask raises the density of killing and asks me once again. It seems that a cold twisted mockery can be seen through the mask.
That’s why…
“That that that that……”
He stuttered again.
food.
A laugh was heard.
It’s not a fox mask, it’s someone else’s.
Some newbie who didn’t know the sky was high, and he must have looked pretty funny because he lowered his tail.
“Why can’t you do it? You just ran amok before?”
Is my heart broken properly?
As if he had no intention of looking at it, the fox mask’s murderousness became more and more intense.
Of course, there was no problem.
“Oh no… I’m not like that…”
“Tell me. Clearly, without missing a single word.”
“So what?”
I decided to stop acting like an asshole at this point.
“It’s your mother who recommended me to this place. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“What… what…?”
The fox mask looked very puzzled at the sudden change in my attitude.
“No, he’s definitely in a state of doubt? How the hell…?”
Instead of answering, I first raised my pinky finger and shook it from the ear hole that had been tickling from earlier.
Apparently, everyone else seemed to have noticed what was going on.
“This is definitely an interesting situation.”
“Isn’t that enough of a rookie joke? It’s a bit excessive.”
“Impressive, but that kind of attitude makes enemies, Ryan.”
I licked my lips at each recited sentimental comment.
The funny guy, the cheeky guy, the pathetic guy.
That’s just what I heard. What is their evaluation of my concept quality? I did the image making by directing at best.
‘Yeah, there’s nothing surprising about this.’
Well, if you think about it, it makes sense.
Isn’t it a famous old person club?
It must be a long way from receiving special treatment just because he calmly endured a life-threatening blow.
“How dare you mock me…?”
The fox mask, realizing belatedly that I had acted as an idiot, reacted violently at least…….
but my first impression was probably that of an annoying guy.
Therefore, I closed my eyes and recalled the conversation I had with Lee Baek-ho.
[You want me to shoot you once? oh no If I do it wrong, will my brother get mental illness? Since this is using intention, the stronger the mental power, the stronger the power…]
The power of killing spirit is proportional to the mental power.
For reference, mental strength here means real mental strength, not numerical value.
[That’s why it’s only for deceased people. Killing a lot and overcoming near death is like eating a meal, and then your mental strength has no choice but to become stronger. Well, although there are people who are just born.]
Then what about me?
Well, once you try it, you’ll see.
I haven’t actually used it because Lee Baek-ho doesn’t have time, but it doesn’t seem too difficult.
[I’ll tell you how to write it. No, in fact, there is no such thing as a method…]
Lee Baek-ho said.
In order to exude life, you need to hypnotize yourself first.
[Think of it as an enemy. An enemy that must be killed.]
Coincidentally, self-hypnosis is one of my specialties.
“The person over there is talking about it……”
When I opened my eyes, the fox mask that met my eyes stiffened in shock, and I snorted as if it was ridiculous.
“Ha, now I call it revenge.”
It worked well, but the power was not strong.
So, focus more on your mind.
“It’s childish.”
These are goblins.
Bastards trying to kill me.
Yes, the enemy who threatens my life.
“I’m just apologizing. I tried to scoop it up first, so if I apologize properly, I won’t have any ill feelings about this.”
I hypnotize myself by imagining running out and blowing my head with a mace.
It was at one point.
‘uh?’
A feeling arises as if something is missing from the head. A strange sensation experienced for the first time in life, distinct from pain.
“No, pride is worth an apology—”
The fox mask that had been admonishing me suddenly stopped talking.
And hardened like a stone, it doesn’t even move.
It’s like being caught up in something invisible and unable to move.
“……!”
The emotions in the round eyes were also familiar to me.
What my enemies only saw at the end.
Those eyes he made while watching Mace slam his head down.
‘I didn’t expect it to be this effective.’
Feeling suspicious, I glanced around to confirm.
The three, who were questioning the behavior of the fox mask, showed a clear reaction every time I met eyes.
Seruk.
The deer antlers mask that was standing on the pillar moved its hand with the waist dance where the sword should have been originally.
He was the one who considered me cheeky.
swish
The crescent moon mask covered her eyes as if avoiding her gaze.
He was the one who looked at me pathetically.
“……Oh, I didn’t say anything?”
The yellow clown mask shook his hands in an exaggerated manner and stepped back.
He was the one who only thought of me as a funny guy.
‘what?’
Rather than being happy to see such a violent reaction, my doubts grow.
Why? Why is it so effective?
No time was given to think calmly.
Jijit.
It felt like my brain was being squeezed like a wet towel.
I feel mental fatigue as if I had lost three days and nights.
I instinctively realized
There are only a few seconds left to maintain Barbarian Living Mode.
‘Fuck, I didn’t say that.’
I hurriedly stared at the fox mask.
The fox mask was shaking.
“Please stop. I’m in danger too……”
As soon as we looked at her without saying anything, she pleaded with difficulty.
At that time, the mode of living with good timing came to an end.
“Huuk…!”
A fox mask that takes a long breath like a person buried in water.
Seeing her wince as soon as our eyes met, I was convinced.
‘I don’t know what it is, but it worked out thanks to that.’
The image I wanted to create as soon as I knew that the atmosphere was rejecting newbies.
He succeeded in becoming a madman who should not be touched.
***
“…To make such a fuss just because you’ve only tried it once. The future must be tough.”
Beginning with the chanting of deer antlers, the silence that covered the hall was gone.
“Phiheh, but it was a pleasant experience. How many more kills do I have to kill to be able to do something like this?”
The time when the clown glanced at me with strange eyes.
rattle!
The four doors leading to the room closed all at once.
To be honest, I was really surprised, but I’m glad I didn’t show it off.
It was just that entry time was over.
“It’s already this time.”
“This time, the four of us… No, five of us are over.”
Since everyone was seated, I also took a seat anywhere. However, before the rally started in earnest, questions directed at me flew in.
Unlike before, it wasn’t a question that asked me to figure out who I was.
“Ryan, this will be your first time meeting. I just saw the live performance and I wondered if you were an early member, but… the lion mask has always been on the wall.”
At the words of the crescent moon, I nodded.
There is nothing more meaningless than denying that there is clear evidence.
It would seem that there is something coolly acknowledging it.
“So what do you want to say?”
“……Have you met the Master? Oh, if you don’t want to answer, just say no.”
Crescent Moon’s tone was polite yet cautious, as if the image of a madman was valid.
Is this why people have to live like fools?
A realization that I would have lived my whole life without knowing if I hadn’t become a barbarian.
“If you want something in return, I’ll give it to you. Although it may be difficult enough for you to be satisfied.”
“That’s it, what made you think I met the Master?”
I answered arrogantly.
Because I don’t even know who the master is.
“That’s… that’s a bit strange. It’s been a year since the master disappeared, so it’s natural to think so, right?”
“So, Mr. Fox tried to lift the forearm, but he got sick, maybe?”
As the clown muttered to himself, the fox mask turned its head in shame.
‘I think the Master is referring to the founder of this gathering.’
As I put the given information together and crammed it into my head, the crescent moon spoke again.
“Keuheum Anyway, I thought so because I thought I knew about this place well for the first time.”
Well, it’s not because of Master, but because of Baekho Lee.
No, but what the hell is he?
Thinking that Lee Baek-ho would gradually find out who he was, I finished my thoughts.
“So, can I get an answer to your question? Just tell me when and where you last met the Master—” ”
The answer is no.”
“Huh I guess so. I understand.”
Crescent moon neatly
gave up his lingering feelings and stepped
back .
The clown arranged the conversation and announced the start of the assembly.
It was fortunate that I knew the rules in advance.
If I asked such a question here and now, the mysterious image would surely be broken.
“Then let me do it
first .” The clown said,
“The King of Lapdonia’s condition has worsened.”
The jewel in the center of the Round Table glowed red.
This means that the above information is true and that half of those seated at the Round Table are aware of it
. Rani seems like too comprehensive information.”
“It’s not a story that everyone knows that the king’s illness is serious. Please tell me something more useful.”
The fox and the crescent moon frowned at the clown.
I just stayed still.
‘I didn’t know…’
The king is sick
? Because rumors like that didn’t circulate at all. Well, it’s funny that the king’s health is talked about in the streets
. It’s pitiful.”
The clown glanced at the fox and the crescent moon, then glanced at me.
If you are, you know what that means?
A gaze that seems to have this meaning.
“…….”
I just stayed still this time.
Then, in the middle I’ll go.
“The leader of the Knights of the Rose passed away yesterday. how is it. You guys will admit this, right?”
Soon after the clown disentangled the information again, there was a heavy silence in the round table.
“…There will be blood flowing in the palace.” “Yes
, we should prepare too.”
Who the fuck.
Anyway, the green light was on from the jewel, so I went straight to the next one.
This time it was a fox mask
. “Jagun Clan succeeded in subjugating the 1st floor lord
.”
It disappeared, so where did you get the strategy from? I thought I’d never catch them.”
I stayed silent this time too.
Not because I didn’t know anything, but because
that’s what I was talking about.
In the city, even if I searched for cancer, it didn’t come out except for the one where the layer lord was summoned
.
This time, the green light was on from the jewel,
so it was
the
crescent moon next. Even Marie appears definitively.”
The fox and deer antlers were greatly surprised at the end of the crescent moon. ”
This must be good news for those seeking the essence of Ravganus.”
Then what is Hidden Peace?
” Anyway, now it’s the next turn… Huh?”
The crescent moon, which was about to pass the turn naturally, stiffened in shock.
It was because of the red light flowing from the jewel
. It was easy to infer,
because the previous two showed that they didn’t know.
” Mr. Crescent Moon, don’t be too discouraged. You wouldn’t normally know what you said?
When the clown threw words of consolation at his chin, Crescent Moon let out a sigh.
“Until now, I only needed to know Clown, but now one more person has grown…”
I shrugged my shoulders.
So who’s to say something you can learn just by working hard at the game?
“Can’t you tell me about the Hidden Peace?”
“That’s… I still have to keep it a secret.”
“Oh, then I’m going to have no choice but to be expelled for the last time—”
“Haha, what does that mean? I just meant that I’m embarrassed because I feel like I’m going to have to expose my bottom line.”
Soon, the crescent moon sighed and brought out new information.
“They say they found traces of the ‘relic stealer’ among the fairies.”
The green light came on from the jewel, but the fox narrowed her eyes and protested.
“A trace? Isn’t it too informative?”
“Information about the ‘relic stealer’ that no one had a clue about. This alone is top-secret and true enough.”
“Hmm, fine. I’ll admit it.”
“Mr. Crescent Moon, you were from a fairy after all, right?”
The turn of the crescent moon ended when the fox who raised the objection withdrew.
And everyone’s eyes turned to me.
Although the deer antlers were left behind, as I turned clockwise, my turn naturally came from me.
‘I’m kind of nervous.’
Is it because of those expectations?
Even though I decided on useful information while the turn was going around, the burden for no reason increased.
If it’s all known information, you’ll be ashamed.
‘For now, I’ll just throw in the obvious.’
Wanting to maintain a mysterious image as much as possible, I selected some information that was difficult for others to know.
“If you catch a bandemon with three people, the essence will definitely drop.”
As expected, the jewels on the round table emitted green light.
It’s just…
“……The three of you are going to catch the Vandaemon?”
Why are you surprised by that part?
Isn’t it easy with three people in cheat mode?
‘Even though it’s easy to attack…’
I couldn’t figure it out at all.
