Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 420
Episode 420 Eye of the Storm (6)
Mountains of Dragons.
The place where Noark’s troops and the royal family’s forces form a long battle line and are in the middle of a power struggle.
“Treason! Reports of a traitor who has not been seen for a while from the Western Front!”
Eltora Tercerion, commander of the 3rd Corps, frowned upon receiving the report from his subordinates.
“You’re a traitor… Okay, let’s go.”
“yes!”
Suha thought that the existence of a traitor offended his superior, but there was a different reason for Eltora’s crumpled expression.
‘The traitor has reappeared……’
Eltora is not an idiot.
A few days ago, Noark’s Western Front troops were discovered moving north.
It is highly likely that the reason they moved their troops was to pursue the expeditionary force that was trying to escape on their own.
‘……Then does that mean the chase is over?’
Eltora unknowingly clenched her fists.
‘Father…… No, what the hell is the Marquis thinking?’
Just before leading the army into the labyrinth, Eltora received two secret orders from her father.
One is to ignore the expedition’s rescue request.
And the other one is…….
‘If it returns alive on its own, it will be destroyed without anyone knowing.’
I don’t know if I should say it’s fortunate, but Eltora didn’t have to carry out the second secret order.
Because the path the expedition took was the opposite of here.
‘Are they really all dead…?’
It was a truly contradictory feeling.
It was the same that contributed to their abandonment.
He was also the one who would be in trouble if the expedition returned alive.
But…
Throbbing-!
something unbelievable
Are they really dead?
Bjorn Yandel, who came back alive from the crystal cave, like this?
“…….”
Eltora closed her eyes and thought.
And I assumed how I would have behaved if I had been the commander of the expedition.
‘It must have been to catch the enemy off guard by running away to the north rather than the south where the allies are.’
It wasn’t a bad number.
Especially in that he avoided two lions.
‘Did he know and avoid it…?’
well i don’t know about this
However, even if you know, the result will not change.
Heading north doesn’t seem like there’s a way out.
The enemy’s sphere of influence where no reinforcements can be expected.
An increasingly tight siege.
A tired crew member.
What decision would you have made if it were me?
No, not me, but Bjorn Yandel… What would that ignorantly determined man do?
‘……Ice rock.’
Suddenly, an accident led to it.
If you don’t give up until the end and run away, there is no other option left to see.
But…
‘Even if I really went there, I wouldn’t be able to come back alive.’
No matter what assumptions are made, the choices leading to a hopeful future cannot be drawn in the mind.
Never underestimate Bjorn Yandel’s ability.
ice rock?
glacial eye?
He will undoubtedly overcome adversity.
Considering the capabilities he showed in the Crystal Cave, it just doesn’t make sense to collapse in such a crisis.
However, he met the wrong opponent.
‘Because there’s no way the Marquis didn’t know this.’
Heading to Ice Rock.
What an unconventional move anyone can see.
However, in the end, it was a number that he could think of as well.
But wouldn’t his father have done anything?
The person who wants to be prepared for all situations to the point of being overdone?
‘Bjorn Yandel will never come back alive…’
Eltora Tercerion concluded that way.
pounding-!
While trying to ignore the beating of an unknown heart.
***
Currently our formation is simple.
A narrow alleyway wide enough for four people to stand.
“Are you sure Suits will be okay?”
“Didn’t I tell you. If you’re here, it’s so cramped I won’t be able to move.”
I am the only one in the first row who has to stop the enemy on the front line.
Because this is the answer I came up with.
About how to return even one more person alive.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. We’re behind you.”
“Yes, I’m sure. I’ll believe it—”
“Bjorn Yandel…!!”
At that time, the cry of the dragon slayer with the intent to kill echoes loudly.
“Is this where you ran away!!”
Judging by the spirited voices, it seems that they have not yet been aware of their situation.
It’s just a pity that not everyone had flower heads like him.
“Regal Bagos, calm down.”
An explorer who reached out to stop the sudden action of the dragon slayer who seemed ready to attack at any moment.
hard.
Someone who saw his face gritted his teeth.
In fact, my feelings were not different.
“That’s Miss Naria…”
Milburn Naria, the troll summoner.
It was he who killed the woman whom we only hoped would return alive until the moment she was about to die, whether or not her essence was an evil spirit.
“Is that Bjorn Yandel?”
Soon after, the guy who stopped the dragon slayer stepped forward and spoke to me.
‘Is this bastard a real leader…?’
It’s such a natural thing to think.
Usually, if you don’t have authority, you’ll be able to take notice of others when you do something like that.
As you can see, the dragon slayer is just standing still.
“Yes, I am Bjorn Yandel.”
After thinking about it, I decided to accept the conversation.
Because I was curious too.
“So who are you?”
He answered my question without any hesitation.
“Manua Lepeles.”
The name that will be written in my killing book.
“I will kill him…”
No, should I say the name that will be written in the killing book for all of us?
From the moment he started talking, life began to boil in the eyes of the crew members standing in the back.
However, there was no one who was reckless.
“Manua Lepelesra… that’s a name I’ve never heard of before.”
“Well, that would be true. First of all, the name and color are like a secret weapon.”
This gives more credibility to my guess.
I did it just in case after seeing that they were armed with the top essences that could be supplied from the 8th floor.
Really, these guys seem to be one of the raids on the 8th floor.
“So what do you want to say?”
First of all, I heard the name of the enemy in the killing department, so I decided to check the business. He immediately opened his mouth to see if he wasn’t the type to enjoy lengthy introductions.
“I have a suggestion for you.”
“proposal……?”
“As I said earlier, we are like a secret weapon. Even if we succeed in killing all of you, it will be a great loss if one or two of us die in the process.”
“Okay, just the point.”
At my words, he spread his palms.
“five.”
“……?”
“We’ve got face, so just hand over five people. Then, be satisfied with that and go back here. Oh, of course, it doesn’t have to be you, Bjorn Yandel.”
I wondered what he was going to say……. He
said that he wouldn’t get angry if he heard something too absurd.
“Isn’t that a bad suggestion? If you give me just five people, all of you can go back alive and well.”
“Well, that sounds like an offer I should make. If only five of you stick out your neck, I’ll send you back alive. Oh, of course, you and the Regal Bagos must be included.”
“Won’t you regret it?”
What are you sick bastard?
Alcohol is alcohol no matter how much you use it, and poison is poison no matter how sweet it is.
“Regret is what your mother did.”
“……what?”
Even in Noark, who has a rough mouth, he’s startled as if he hadn’t heard this much. Hahahoho It wasn’t a relationship to laugh at, so I just continued talking as an old man.
Looking at the bald head of the guy who was tanned red by the light of the flare.
“Perhaps even your mother didn’t know. That a child born with a stomachache would be a coward who only teases his tongue in front of enemies.”
“…….”
“Are you tired of being afraid of us? Right now, you have too much rotten me on you, so I can’t tell them apart.”
“…….”
“Why don’t you talk? Ah, maybe because my mother isn’t—”
“This guy…!”
“I don’t think there really was anything like that. Seeing you get so excited. Don’t get too mad. I understand. You grew up as a coward because you weren’t properly educated when you were young.”
“…….”
“The reason why I lost all the hair on my head was because I suffered a lot back then—”
“……I will kill you!!”
Oh, why do you keep interrupting me?
It was a bit disappointing, but the goal was achieved.
The world has always been like that.
“Yeah, don’t die.”
“……profit!”
The one who gets excited first loses.
***
A fierce rappeles who spurns his seat after being hooked by a provocative comment that he spat out thoroughly rationally.
“Lefeles! He’s originally like that, so don’t get excited! Even if you fall for the cunning, he’ll only do good things…….”
Surprisingly, the dragon slayer put the words of restraint toward such a guy.
But…
feed.
Will that work?
The bald head, where the blood was concentrated, was already red.
Tadat.
Soon, he runs towards me with his fists clenched.
His class is a fighter.
It is a rare profession in the labyrinth.
It’s a class that’s useful in the lower layers, but doesn’t have core essence that’s usable in the middle.
Well, there are many good skills in the second half.
Representatively, this is what I wrote now.
「Manua Lepeles has cast [Tekken].」
You can obtain [Tekken] from the rift on the 8th floor.
The effect is simple.
Flash-!
A dash of about 4m, close to teleportation.
And…
Kwaaaaang-!
Unconditional knockback that ignores the laws of physics.
And…
「Inflicts fixed damage in proportion to the strength of the caster and the physical resistance of the target.」 The
stronger the true damage, the more painful it is.
In the last battle, everything was ruined because of this skill.
After a few hits, the mana shield was shattered and the battle line collapsed as they were pushed back. In the meantime, as I chose evasion rather than defense, holding the enemy, one of the main goals of a tanker, was not working properly.
However, it is different now from then.
“……Kuh.”
A shock that shakes the intestines?
Since there is no mana shield, the pain can be felt, but…
so what?
「Reuta Mamander cast [Emergency Regeneration].」
Heal that comes in immediately upon being hit.
「Benjamin Orman cast [Moonlight Shrine].」
A mat that increases natural regeneration is also spread between them and us.
Swoop.
I shouted as I looked down at the bastard’s fist lodged in my stomach.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
A guy who flinches as if his ears hurt from the sudden loud noise.
Then hit the hammer and the guy backs away.
I am going to use [Tekken] after widening the distance again.
All of those skills are good and don’t have a cooldown, but you have to dash a certain distance to use them.
‘Who knows how to leave it alone?’
I immediately linked [Transcendence] and [Eye of the Storm].
At that time, the battle line was collapsing and countless enemies were passing me past me, so I couldn’t respond.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“……!”
With a bewildered expression, he swung the hammer at the right timing at the sucker.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see much fun.
That’s right, this guy is also in a tank position.
「Manua Repelles cast [Indestructible].」
The one who defends the hammer with crossed hands above his head.
At the same time as that short hand exchange ended, the guys behind them joined forces and started to attack.
「Ricky Eamond casts [Target of Thunder].」
「Cale Elbard Zenegger casts [Thunders].」
Supernatural ability shooting at me.
Some skills ignored physical resistance and dug into my body, but I quickly recovered thanks to the focused healing of the priests.
「Ann Parbella cast [Lightning Sprint].」
A melee explorer who passed me in an instant without any time to stop.
And…
「Ann Parbella cast [Gather].」
A combination of skills that teleport two colleagues within a certain distance.
「Puran Cullin cast [Gangsin].」
「Marionee Trider cast [Cataclysmic Dance]
」
Well, if you go over here, at least the field effect will be canceled. He must have decided that it would be better to fight on this side even if he was in the middle of the enemy army.
‘It must have looked down on us quite a bit.’
No matter how good your individual skills are, did you really think that three of us could take us down?
“Don’t worry about this! We will never spend more here!”
I decided to leave the assault unit to my colleagues.
Even if I stabbed a knife in the back, I was sure that I would never die on the healing floor.
I don’t think it’s going to give me a chance to target me in the first place.
“Kill! It’s time to draw the sword of vengeance!”
“Do you think you will be helplessly beaten like last time!”
“Waaaaaaa!!”
The melee that started like that.
Enemies beyond the boundary line, including Kakppakgi, rushed to break through me, and the three men who crossed the boundary lined each other with their backs and swung their weapons to break the wire somehow.
Shaaaaaa-!
Priests located on a safe hill sprayed divine spells indiscriminately and dealt damage and healed at the same time.
“Father! Deal with the priest first!”
So, somehow, they poured all sorts of skills to aim for the priest first, but…
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It could not reach the top of the hill where the priests and wizards were gathered and disappeared in the air. Yes, this is the magic circle that I worked hard to draw as soon as I came up.
As long as you keep the priest, you can’t lose this fight.
“Barrier magic…!”
Realizing that the projectiles didn’t work, the guys started thinking of other methods as well.
「Mike Roymus casts [Slime Walk].」
「Lea Andes casts [Flame Swim].」
Those who try to climb up the cliff themselves using their abilities.
「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia cast [Rapid Continuous Fire].」
Of course, it was stopped by our team’s ranged troops.
how much time had passed
“…these nothing bastards!”
The battle went much better for us, as I expected.
The three who came over with good spirits could not overcome the numerical inferiority and were being beaten up.
“Shit……!”
“Why doesn’t that monster get tired!”
“Kill! Kill me somehow!!”
The more unfavorable the situation, the more aggressively they attacked.
For a very simple reason.
Because everyone is injured.
I decided that there would be no next opportunity if I resigned from here.
“Everyone don’t be afraid!”
“No matter how much you get hurt, as long as you win this battle, it’s over!”
The attack becomes more intense as the number of injuries accumulates.
This was also the case with the dragon slayer who swung his sword at me in sync with the thief in front of me.
“Hey, let me ask you one thing.”
“……?”
“I’m curious, but when will it come? The moment when even death can’t save me?”
“……It’s hard.”
The guy who stabbed me with a knife for a long time, then stepped back and glared at me to see if the time for the wise man had come.
“Yes, you always forced me to sacrifice.”
The guy who muttered that, pulled out a special move with a determined expression on his face.
「Regal Vagos cast [Dragon: Silence of Souls].」
Oh yeah, finally using this.
“The character’s soul power is insufficient.”
“The [Giantization] ends.”
A body that shrinks in an instant.
The hammer and shield, which felt as light as a feather, felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
“The character has fallen into a state of soul exhaustion.”
“All stats are temporarily reduced by 70%.”
The same condition experienced in Larcas’ Maze.
Hey I miss you
At that time, I really thought that this was all over in one blow—
“Keahhhh! Khhhhhhh! Khhhhhhhhhhhh…!”
What is this baby.
Why are you vomiting blood all of a sudden?
Oh, did the use of the dragon just put a strain on your body?
This is not a bee that dies with one sting.
“Regal Vagos! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine… kill him… keuheuhehe…” I
don’t know why, but it felt strange to see him staggering and shooting hateful glances at me.
“The character has cast [Soul Dive]
.
”
“The state of soul exhaustion is canceled.”
Well, it can be solved with just one skill…
