Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 597
Episode 597 RPG (5)
To be honest, I didn’t expect it at all.
Who would have thought that the knight who stood on the execution platform and delivered the emperor’s words to the crowd gathered in the square was the village chief?
‘For some reason, I couldn’t really see the magnetic escape angle at all.’
Now that I see it, it’s not that it was an unreasonable chapter, but that it was a chapter where I had to wait for my comrades to save me.
Suddenly!
Soon, the village chief, who took off his helmet, swung his sword and cut the rope, and a convulsing sound was heard from below.
“Lord St. Red! “Why on earth did you betray… !”
“…kyung?”
“From the moment I started, I was a knight from a noble family. “Tell me more about it later.”
After saying that, the village chief turned his gaze away from me and looked down at the square.
Sooooooooooo much!
The glow of the magic circle that covered the square grew stronger as time passed, and the confusion caused by the thousands of people grew accordingly.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Don’t push me! Argh!”
The hell that arose when thousands of people crowded into a small space tried to escape from the square.
The village chief looked down at me and said to me.
“Isn’t it fun to see them struggling to survive?”
It’s something that most psychopaths can’t even show off their business cards.
However, the dialogue that followed was a bit questionable.
“It’s not even magic for killing.”
“…It’s not attack magic?”
“Lord Vesilus said that if we commit a massacre here, it will be difficult to handle what happens next. But that doesn’t mean I can escape with you two alone through that many people, right? It’s magic that can solve that problem. “I had a hard time installing it.”
“So… what kind of magic is that?”
The village chief answered my question with a smile that was no longer awkward.
“You’ll know when you watch.”
Hey, he really has no way of saying anything properly.
“Anyway, are you feeling okay?”
“Don’t worry. “There won’t be anything holding you back when fighting.”
“Then, fortunately… there won’t actually be a fight.”
“You mean there isn’t one…?”
“Oh, I guess it’s done now.”
The village chief skipped answering again this time and took his gaze away from me.
And that moment.
Flash—!!
A huge flash of light covered the entire city.
Light strong enough to cause intense pain through the retina.
When the light slowly faded and my vision recovered, I finally realized the true nature of the magic.
“What are you doing? Come on, let’s go. “Everyone is just waiting for you.”
The square where the hell was unfolding was already empty.
***
It was a teleportation magic.
Should I say it’s a multi-teleportation spell?
Hmm… Actually, that doesn’t explain it well.
The maximum number of people for multi-teleportation magic is 20 people.
It is impossible to send out thousands of people all at once like that.
But…
‘A similar thing happened once.’
This happened in the underground city of Noark.
There was an incident where a mysterious old man, presumed to be Auril Gavis, fled in an instant to avoid the siege of the royal family with over 10,000 people.
I only heard about it and didn’t see it in person… but
if it had happened right in front of my eyes, wouldn’t it have felt like this?
“Come on in.”
The place we arrived at, following the village chief, was a residence on the outskirts of the city.
Kuung-!
Entering the empty house, we went down the stairs hidden in the floor, and only then were we able to take off the robes that covered our faces.
“I heard everyone is waiting?”
“It looks like it hasn’t arrived yet. “Just wait a moment and he will come, so sit down and rest.”
“Where is Erwen injured?”
“are you okay.”
First, I made Erwen sit on a chair and checked her physical condition. And after confirming that there was nothing wrong, I spoke to the village chief.
That’s because I felt like I was going crazy with curiosity a while ago.
“Why did you use teleportation magic on your enemies? “It would have been much more efficient to use it on us.”
In fact, I was more curious about this than how such a large-scale teleportation magic could be used…
The village chief answered easily, as if it would not be difficult.
“I guess you didn’t know yet? Magic doesn’t work on witches. “I don’t know if it’s just you, but this was the only way to escape with both of you.”
Well, there was a situation like that.
This was the first time I knew that magic didn’t work.
“Is there any information you need to give me before you two arrive?”
“Not really.”
“Then wait a moment. “We can talk about the backlog later.”
Since I have no interest in repeating the same story, I followed the village chief’s instructions and took a break to wait.
And how long has it been?
“I’m sorry. “I was a little late coming back because I felt like someone was following me.”
Gahyun Besilus, one of the members of this rift, has arrived. He looked sideways at Erwen and me and spoke cautiously.
“Rather than that… Are you Baron Baron?”
“You’re asking a strange question.”
“Haha, you really are a baron. “I’m so glad.”
A conversation that exudes a sense of discomfort.
“Are you really a baron?”
“Ah, until then, the Baron was acting like a completely different person. “I didn’t even know that this place was inside a crack—.”
“Haha, I guess everyone but me has already arrived.”
At that time, the last member of this rift arrived.
Archbishop Eden Hesteia of the Leatlas Church.
“I’m sorry I’m late. “It wasn’t difficult to sneak inside, but since the equipment was so heavy, it wasn’t easy to contain it.”
After saying that, the archbishop held the subspace bag on his back upside down and shook it out.
Dudududududu.
The items that poured down like a waterfall and took up most of the floor were none other than my equipment.
Ha, I was worried about how I would find it again, but I never thought I would have packed this away too.
“I’ve checked it several times, so I don’t think there are any items missing… Just in case, the Baron can check it one more time.”
I rushed out in a hurry, put on my gear, and put away my belongings.
Fortunately, nothing went missing.
Although he is a barbarian who follows his ancestors, he couldn’t help but say it this time.
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…”
“Haha, the Baron is so happy, it makes me smile too.”
“Well, now that everyone is here, let’s get to the point.”
Soon the village chief calmed down the mood and asked me.
“So what happened to you guys? “Tell me everything from beginning to end.”
What happened to Erwen and I in Chapters 1 and 2.
He briefly explained that when he opened his eyes, he found himself on a gallows. Afterwards, the other three people also shared information by talking about what they had experienced.
Chapter 1 all had different starting points.
First, let’s start with the old wizard Gahyun Besilus.
“The place where I opened my eyes was a magic education institution. There were various incidents, but to sum it up, the imperial court awarded me a medal for fending off monsters on a training day. And that evening, a letter arrived from my hometown village. It was a letter saying that the imperial army had attacked the village and that my sister had gone missing. “The sender… said he was my friend, but I didn’t know him.”
Anyway, as soon as I read that, chapter 1 is over.
“It was a vast wilderness with grains of sand fluttering about. “That’s where all three of us met.”
Gahyun, who advanced to Chapter 2, was able to join the village chief and archbishop.
“If I’m going to explain this part, I guess I’ll have to talk about us first.”
The story between the village chief and the archbishop was also simple.
The village chief was a knight from a noble family, and the archbishop started out as a priest belonging to a temple and experienced his own events.
And…
“Finally, a letter arrived in the name of Sir Besilus. It was a letter saying that my sister was in a difficult situation and asking for help. Looking at the context, it seemed like all three of us were close friends.”
Sure enough, as soon as I read the letter, chapter 1 is over.
Chapter 2 began with all three gathered together.
The main event of Chapter 2 was a secret pursuit group.
“It wasn’t that difficult to defeat them… We arrived at the meeting point mentioned in the letter Sir Vesilus received and waited for Amman, but you didn’t show up.”
As they waited indefinitely in the desert city that was their meeting point, the imperial army came to them.
“They spoke to Sir Vesilus. My sister is the one who will destroy the world. “If you want to stop this, help us.”
Of course, there was no option of refusal.
As soon as I heard that line, Chapter 4 started.
From then on, the chapter’s mission was clear. When the Empire gave instructions, they carried them out.
Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7….
Participated in the war against monsters and made a contribution.
But in the end, they couldn’t catch us and join us.
“We’re almost there now. This time, I can catch them and talk to them. “Every time I think about that, things go wrong like a ghost and we can’t meet.”
Nevertheless, the chapters continued to move on, and each time, time flew by and the information was updated.
My younger sister was called a witch, and I was a follower of that witch.
So, I had already reached chapter 11.
“I woke up in this city. Numerous troops were surrounding us. “It was only after I escaped through their siege that I found out how this happened.”
The witch and her followers were caught.
That’s why the empire tried to banish them.
“It became clear what the goal of this ordeal was.”
These three broke into the prison to meet us.
The goal was not to rescue that day, but I wanted to tell you the situation first…
“As I said before, the person I encountered back then was not you. Therefore, I left after only informing them of my plan to rescue them on the day of execution.”
The next thing happened just a little while ago.
The long-awaited day of execution dawned, and we, who had only finished Chapter 2, were finally able to join these three by waking up in Chapter 11.
This is the story of the events that have occurred so far…
“But Fortunately, I guess I’ve been trapped here for over ten years.”
Gahyun Vesilus went into a fit at my short recitation.
“Manaaaaagh—!”
“…huh?”
“Are you saying that? “I had to be trapped here for at least half a year, if not ten years!”
“What? “Half a year?”
According to the subsequent lament about the situation, it seems that more than a month has already passed just to proceed with this 11th chapter. It
was a story that could not help but send shivers down one’s spine.
‘Even the time magnification is an arbitrary rift…’
Surely it’s not like several years have passed by when I left?
I hope it doesn’t happen again this time.
The experience of being left behind by time is enough.
“Calm down Lord Vesilus. “There is still. “A lot to talk about.”
“…I guess I was excited. “I’m sorry.”
The village chief calmed the atmosphere and continued the conversation.
“Baron, this crack is different from normal cracks. Each has its own abilities. “Before I ask about yours, let me first explain our capabilities.”
“Oh, I will speak first about my abilities.”
First of all, it began with Archbishop Hesteia.
“The power of the holy spell is the same, but the holy power is close to infinite. Even if God Amman performs a miracle, he is overflowing with grace like a spring that does not dry. up.”
To summarize, it is an infinite buff to divine power.
Well, it seems like I have a handicap.
“But instead, no miracle can be used against me.”
A priest who can only use divine power for the benefit of others.
“Then what about you, Count?”
“I am much simpler than the other two. “It’s about twice as strong in all aspects compared to before, and we haven’t found any limitations yet.”
Hmm, does No Penalty increase all of its abilities by 200%?
While I thought it was indeed a fraudulent buff, I also felt uneasy.
‘If I give it away like this, what will come out later?’
I’m already worried about the difficulty of the final boss.
Since this place is also a rift, there will be a guardian.
“Anyway, then what are you, Gahyun?”
“Every time I pass a trial, I can use new magic. It doesn’t feel like you understand it exactly and unfolds it… It’s closer to the feeling of an ordinary person tearing up a scroll and casting magic.”
“What if it’s new magic?”
“These are ancient magics that were lost a long time ago, the principles of which not even I can dare to glimpse.”
Now I finally understand.
I wondered who used the magic that teleported thousands of people.
It was an ability I gained after entering this rift.
“Oh, and I have one more ability.”
“What?”
“Every time we go into a trial, we intuitively know what we need to do.”
“What can I say about that… It’s a good skill to hear.”
I sighed inwardly as I roughly praised him.
It wasn’t a lie to say that it seemed like a good ability.
Rather, it’s the opposite.
This unfriendly game even gives away functions like navigation for free… What is it really trying to achieve?
“Then it’s our turn.”
Afterwards, I also talked about the capabilities we had discovered so far, and this ended the long period of sharing information.
“But… Miss Tersia, why have you been so quiet since a while ago?”
“That’s… not something you should worry about.”
“…hehe, I was rude. “I’m sorry.”
I wondered if there was a need to shoot such a kind-looking archbishop like that, but I didn’t bother to point it out.
‘If you think about it, it’s a bit strange…’
It was the same when I was doing the boss run in the past, and it was the same after I arrived at the crack here.
Erwen looked a little different than usual.
They answer questions kindly, but should I say that the number of times they talk first and make fun of me has decreased significantly?
“Then, there is still time until nightfall, so everyone gets some rest.”
Hmm, I’ve never been this quiet.
