Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 187
Episode 187 Tempal (2)
The Altar of Shadows.
In this chapter, the doppelganger thoroughly acts for only two goals.
Making the Fellowship waste the Stone of Truth.
If that doesn’t work, continue to cause trouble so that the number of expedition members decreases.
In that sense, there was one prime suspect.
[Which city are you from?]
Kyleman Parteian.
The wizard of Hans G’s team who halved the expedition with a single word.
At first, I thought I had stepped on a mine by accident.
The wizard team, including Hans G, didn’t know that the group of dwarves were from Noark.
But…
[Dwarf, are you a doppelganger?]
I relentlessly attacked the group of dwarves.
Where did you get the equipment in your backpack?
When he received the dog tag, he asked countless questions that he couldn’t answer, such as exactly what the official said, inducing him to look suspicious.
but. At the time, I couldn’t think of anything.
How would the doppelgänger see the dwarf stumped by such an easy question?
‘It must have seemed strange. Then I would have wondered why.’
The body of a smart wizard who entered after a long time.
The doppelganger must have reached the truth of Noark through the question the dwarf could not answer.
Maybe I was greedy too.
Just in time, there was an item suitable for the body that was used as a host… and
if you use it well, it will be easy to hide your identity.
[He passed away too.]
The doppelgänger knows how to pretend to be dead.
I got hit a few times in the game.
If it wasn’t for sure instant death, this bastard would go into hibernation and play with the player while maintaining life.
Just like this.
“Eh eh — !!”
A doppelganger who panics when the potion is poured on him.
Maybe if I didn’t know this element, I would have had no choice but to use the stone of truth on Raven after killing all the remaining candidates.
“It’s a doppelganger!!!”
Raven, who was finally clear of his name, shouted with a more joyful voice than ever before, and the doppelganger screamed but denied it and looked at it.
“Ah no! Hey! I am! Kiyeek!!”
How do you look down on people?
It’s ridiculous, but it must be funny to argue with monsters.
I just grabbed my hair and walked to the altar.
As the altar got closer and closer, the struggle intensified.
“how……!!”
The guy who finally gives up his excuses and asks questions.
I chuckled.
In fact, there was another crucial reason.
‘Shouldn’t the acting be straight?’
A mage’s greatest weakness is close combat.
However, he avoided the Dwarf’s ax that was about to split his head and took it with his shoulder.
This would not have been possible if the surprise had not been predicted.
It’s also funny that he died instantly after being hit with it in the first place.
I don’t know if he died from excessive blood loss, but the Indian woman stopped breathing before she even gave her the potion?
「We have succeeded in discovering the usurper in the body of the expedition member.」
As soon as I put the doppelganger’s head on the altar, pure white light began to flow out.
At the same time, the forest vibrates as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Ki Yee Ae Eek-!!”
Something in the form of a shadow plucked from the top of the head let out a terrible scream and shot through the trees.
And…
“Oh! Run away!!”
Gone in one direction.
There was no need to panic.
It means that the third chapter is already over.
「Used only 1 Truth Stone.」
「Seal release rate 10%.」
「Hurry up and kill the usurper before he regains his sealed power.」
Now it’s time to go to the final boss battle.
“Come on, let’s follow Bjorn!!”
“Stop. There’s something to do before that.”
First of all, I calmed Einar down and checked Parteian’s condition.
Oh, of course, not me, but Raven.
“How are you?”
“Your injuries are pretty much healed, so won’t you come to your senses soon?”
“Right.”
As soon as I called, Raven rushed over and inspected Parteian, only then to droop.
It seems that the mentality that ran away came back and the strength was released.
“Whoa…….”
The grumpy sister and Mr. Bear approached with awkward faces and each uttered a single word.
“Wow, this person really was a doppelganger…”
“So I told you. I’m not!”
“Keuheum, but a wizard is a wizard? Thinking of the possibility that someone might be alive in that situation?”
“Ha, what am I really going to do if it’s not me…”
“Aruru! You know? I believed in you!”
“What do you believe… No, more than that, where did Aruru come from?”
“What?! Could it be that you don’t like Aruru?”
Einar is discouraged as if he was hurt.
Of course, Raven couldn’t do that.
“Then you’ll like it? Arua Raven! Please call me by your first name or last name. I don’t like—” “I
want to call you by this name, but it’s hard to pronounce…
” Raven lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.
And asked carefully.
“What do you mean you want to call me by name?”
“You’re a human wizard, but you’re a precious companion.”
Like a barbarian, Einar utters embarrassing words without changing a single expression.
“Hah, that guy’s pronunciation…”
Raven sighed as if he couldn’t stop praying, then quickly turned his head.
“All right. Call me yourself.”
“Is that true!!”
“Yes. It’s strange that we’re called similarly in schools anyway, so it’s strange to get angry for nothing, right?”
“Thank you! Aruru!”
A heart-warming sight of friendship among colleagues overcoming a single adversity.
Looking at this, I thought.
Even if it looks like it’s not him, he’s weak against this.
‘I should use it later when I do something wrong.’
After making a note in my head, I had a maintenance time after a short conversation.
There’s a lot to do for a boss fight.
“Neither of you, stop doing that and come here.”
First, I called the Indian woman and the blunt warrior who had recovered consciousness.
“Did you hear the situation?”
“……exactly.”
His eyes are blank as if he was shocked that Hans G and the fairy archer were evil spirits.
“Relax. It’s not too late to survive the rest.”
“What can I do?”
“Tell me what you can do.”
I checked the combat power of the blunt warrior.
What essence did you eat, what type of combat is possible, and so on.
Originally, it was personal information that I would never have told an outsider, but as the situation was, the blunt warrior cooperated with me in a very low-key way.
“Okay then what about you?”
“I’m not going to be of any help in combat except for finding my way. I’m sorry.”
One rank 6 fighter and one unranked guide.
“Still, Parteian-nim will be of great help to you. He’s a 5th-class wizard.”
“What? Level 5?”
“That’s right. Although he’s specialized in something other than offensive magic. He’s usually the one who plays the most role in the team. It’s better to hear the details when he wakes up.”
I was genuinely surprised.
That’s because Raven is still a 6th level mage.
How the hell did you coax bastard Hans to take such a high-class talent with you?
‘Then you have to catch a guardian with a total of seven people, including a 5th grade wizard…’
The picture still doesn’t come out properly.
There is not enough paint to draw what you want.
So while Parteian regained consciousness, he rummaged through the spoils left by the remnants of the Dwarves.
“Check every single thing. If there’s something that stands out, have Raven inspect it. If there’s anything that can be used, you have to write it all.”
Hans G Fairy Archer Beast Swordsman Dwarven Sorcerer Priest of Karui.
The archer who is dedicated to the altar is turned into a spirit state, so you can only open it after clearing the rift, so pass.
“Aruruung! How about this?”
“I can feel the magical power. But since I can’t read the magic formula, it’s probably not a magic tool…… It’s highly likely to be a number item.”
“Ohh! These shoes! They fit me perfectly!”
“They’re boots made from half-roll leather. They’re also enchanted with ‘Acceleration’. They’re expensive, so wear them carefully. You’ll need to put them in later when you settle your bill.”
Like those who have entered the mid-level explorers, something useful came out every time they opened a bag.
It feels like opening a treasure trove.
“Raven, can you check this one too? I know it’s made of titanium, but why did you make a necklace out of it?”
“It’s because of the magic conductivity. Even if the same magic is given, the efficiency is different. So let’s see, this necklace is…….”
Raven determined the value of various items at a terrifying speed as if he had found his aptitude.
But even so, it took more time than expected, and at some point, Parteian also woke up.
“Uh uh …….”
A middle-aged wizard who was confused while looking at the corpses of his colleagues and the forest full of various equipment.
A blunt warrior was sent to explain.
“You mean I had a doppelganger in my body?”
“Noark…… Yeah, it’s suspicious that the bag is full of unused equipment. If you’re from there, it’s understandable.”
“Krisen-kun and Miss Meilin are evil spirits…?”
The wizard whose complexion grew pale as he continued his explanation. However, perhaps due to the temperament of a wizard, he came up to me and thanked me even under that circumstance.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, something really terrible would have happened.”
“If you’re grateful, go and help Raven. This isn’t the time to relax.”
“Sure.”
After Parteian joined, the pace accelerated.
Surprisingly, he was an expert in this kind of thing.
“……Emotional magic? Are you from the Narman School?”
“Come to think of it, we didn’t even introduce each other. That’s right.”
“I am Arua Raven of the Artemion School.”
“Haha, I know. There’s only one place that puts such a nice design on a robe.”
“Because the Master is a bit of a jerk…”
A magician of the Narman School who is capable of special appraisal.
With Parteian joining, it became possible to classify items that were not clearly identified as well as number items.
how long has it been like that
“It looks like everything useful has come out, so stop now and gather around.”
After finishing the sorting work, we gathered in one place and started the temporary settlement.
“I’ll tell you in advance, but I’ll write down all the items I’ve taken and pay the bill later. If you want to keep using it, you’ll have to pay for it then. Do you understand?”
“i get it!”
“Then Einar, come here.”
I looked at the organized list and transferred the acquired items to each person.
There is only one criterion for judgment.
It was about who used it and when the best efficiency came out.
“Take off your shoes and give them to Misha.”
“It can’t be! It won’t even fit your feet anyway!!”
“Don’t worry. I’ve confirmed that the size adjustment magic is enchanted.”
It is not that there was no muttering about the decision, which could have been somewhat arbitrary, but the authority of a leader must be used in such a case.
“Einar.”
“i get it. Can’t I just give it to you…….”
Starting with Einar, the rest of my colleagues also brought useful equipment.
From one to four or five. How much would it be if I
sold all of them?
I feel it from place to place.
Why is everyone plundering and living like that?
“That’s it.”
The remaining loot was divided and stored in Raven’s subspace with me.
It was
n’t
just for safety reasons.
I can’t stop laughing when I look at them.
Is this really the Law of Hans Reaction?
