Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The difficulty of this event, which occurs when the tribute is destroyed with less than 20 people on the island, is determined by the number of people.

For 5-9 players, the number of normal monsters increases.

In the 10-14 player mode, the fourth wave is added and the final boss appears, and in the 15-19 player mode, some of the penalties the final boss had disappear

… I never thought I’d do a grade raid.’

The more I think about it, the more I sigh.

What I was aiming for was the boss of the third wave.

In the first place, if the event was held with 6 people, the 4th wave would not even start.

I wanted to catch a lot of trash mobs to get mana stones and essences for sale, and if possible, even supply 4th grade essences to feed to Mischa and Erwen.

But nothing went as planned.

‘……why is my daughter always like this?’

It wasn’t enough that the event started with the highest difficulty, so the number of people decreased and decreased, and the last wave was conducted with 10 people.

Even the goal of the Elfrot Essence did not come out.

Of course, if the final boss spits out the essence, it’s a trivial story that can be laughed at, but…

‘It’s probably hard to catch.’

It is a situation where survival is more important than loot.

Because in this game, 3rd grade monsters are like that.

No matter how many explorers have reached the 6th floor, it is a monster that is close to impossible to safely hunt with ten people who have never matched the sum.

‘But what can I do?’

Raise your body up.

“Soon the authority will disappear.”

The goddess spoke as if she had been waiting.

“Exactly how much is left?”

“Ten minutes.”

Yes, 10 minutes……

I nodded and looked around.

In the distance, I could see Patzran and Amelia talking.

“Are you sure it’s a 3rd class monster?”

“The truth won’t change if you don’t believe it.” “You say it as if you saw it with your own two eyes? [Crisis perception] is

n’t that accurate?

was

I took my attention away from their conversation and approached one of the characters.

“Bjorn…….”

Misha Karlstein.

A colleague who has been with me in the labyrinth for the longest time…

‘I can’t say I’m a lover.’

I smiled bitterly and opened my mouth.

“Are you okay?”

“I guess that’s what I should say…?”

“I’m fine. It’s a bit embarrassing, but it must be because I slept so long.”

After that, I chatted with Misha for a while.

It wasn’t like he was telling a secret plan he couldn’t tell anyone about or anything like that.

Well, I haven’t had a proper conversation with him yet.

After reuniting, I spent the day passed out, and when I woke up, there was no time for that because the last wave started.

“I was very worried.”

“I’m sorry about that. I can’t leave her because she knows you—” ”

In that case, I’m just saying that I won’t worry about you next time.”

“Yeah. I won’t.”

ok then this problem is gone

what are you talking about now?

“Anyway, it’s fortunate that everyone is fine. Actually, I was very worried. I felt strange for some reason…”

“A strange feeling?”

“…It’s nothing to worry about. Now that I think about it, I guess I was anxious because I was left alone with you guys.”

Well, that’s what people are originally.

Usually, when you have a negative imagination, it is drawn more clearly in your head.

“……But is it okay for us to stay like this?”

what can’t be

There is also a priest who just sits there and prays.

Even Mr. Bear is writing a letter.

Is it because I almost died once and came back to life?

As soon as he heard that a level 3 monster had appeared, he seemed to think of things he hadn’t

said to his wife…

“Okay, talk about it. If you’re a girl, what name would you like? First of all, you too… aren’t you a girl?”

What are you trying to name your child right now?

It just makes me anxious.

I want them

to stop raising flags…

“Ah, you mean when you’re trapped on the first floor?”

“Yeah. It was just like this at the time.”

What is this atmosphere like?

Compared to then, now I’m a nobleman.

Even that Raven left a will to tell if he couldn’t return to the city.

Oh, for reference, most of it was about property.

“By the way, you, Bjorn, are the same again.”

“You mean not leaving a will?”

“huh.”

I laughed out loud.

In the first place, there is no one outside the labyrinth to whom I can convey my will, and even if I die, I do not want to die revealing my identity.

Because it will be a much better memory.

“But you didn’t leave a will, Mischa, you must have been the same, too?”

“That’s true…”

Misha blurted out.

It seemed that he wanted to tell me something, so I cut off his words firmly.

“Let’s stop talking about dark things. Didn’t we all come back alive in the first place? It will be the same this time too.”

“…Yes. I believe it because you said it.”

After that, we got out of the present and had a normal conversation.

how long has it been like that

“Barbarian.”

Amelia called me.

“It’s about time.”

Tranquil times always pass quickly.

“Whoa, a level 3 monster. I’m excited!”

Einar was holding a greatsword that he had been grinding hard with a whetstone for the rest of the time.

“The real Einar… is it time to get excited? Everyone might die?”

Raven bruised Einar.

“Come on, stop fighting. Everyone get this.”

Mr. Bear handed out a letter covered in crooked writing to his colleague.

“May the light shine on our way.”

The priestess also stood up after a long prayer.

“Misha.”

“huh.”

After sending Misha back to her seat, I stood at the front of the formation holding my mace and shield.

Before long, the barrier surrounding us was shattered.

「[Death Declaration] is canceled.」

Time to roll the dice.

***

[Kye-yeah-!]

As soon as the [Declaration of Destruction] was lifted, a group of monsters camped out in front of the barrier began to attack, and Raven memorized the magic circle’s starter words that he had prepared in advance.

“Sartum Ebehel!”

Military magic that ordinary wizards are not allowed to learn because its killing power is abnormally high compared to its grade.

「Arua Raven cast the 4th grade attack magic [Collapse].」 As

the drawn magic circle radiated light, red targets appeared in the vital parts of the hundreds of monsters that were rushing towards us.

And about 2 seconds later.

Kwajijik-!

An explosion occurred from inside, and numerous monsters exploded. It was like a bunch of average level 6 monsters were swept away with one magic blow.

Of course, it was not a result obtained without cost.

“…I’m going to rest now.”

Raven’s support, which had consumed most of the mana he possessed with this magic, could no longer be expected.

His role is to save magic and replenish MP until the final boss arrives.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Therefore, the remaining enemies are ours.

[Kiye Ee-e-!]

The crowded monsters destroyed, but monsters still appear everywhere.

Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!

I only focused on the role of a ‘barrier’ for my colleagues to comfortably deal with while only activating [Giant].

It’s still enough firepower against trash mobs.

Whoa!

Pooh-!

Aaaaaaaang!

A 3-way composition composed of Erwen Nebarce Bear.

「Einar Pnellin has defeated the enemy.」

「[Eat] is activated and your soul power is restored.」

Einar of the Berserker tree reveals his true value when facing many weak enemies.

Partzran, a level 4 explorer, did a good job for one person, and Misha used her unique quick movement to pass me by and kill the enemies heading to the rear.

And…

‘He fights really well.’

The most impressive was Amelia.

He refused the position I had assigned him, saying he would take care of it, but should I say he had the talent to do so?

Slow-!

The monsters that disappeared after becoming the light of that woman’s dagger strokes running through the monsters like a detached squad are already passing the heat.

If you count up to the number of clones summoned by [Self-replicating], the number will increase by 1.5 times.

I was a little worried about that.

“Wouldn’t it be better to save a bit of strength?”

MP is also MP, but the most worrisome part is mana.

Another resource consumed when using ‘Aura’, which is also a symbol of knights. If you use it to the fullest, you may not be able to use it later when you catch the boss.

But…

“I don’t know my condition the best, so stop giving me instructions.”

“……If that’s the case.”

Saying that, what can I say?

Besides, if he has an idea, he’ll be able to control it on his own.

You must have a lot more practical experience than me.

‘Let’s do my job well.’

Holding a shield, he focused only on blocking the oncoming monsters. The mace is wielded occasionally, but it is limited to pushing back enemies.

Judgment that MP should be saved for later.

If you don’t use [Swing], mobs will die if you hit them ten more times.

“Suddenly, the monsters are decreasing.”

As the manastones the monsters spat out piled up around them, the number of monsters flocking to them decreased.

“Maybe this is because the priest’s prayer worked!”

At this fact, everyone, including Mr. Bear, put on a look of admiration, but I was calm.

Because that’s what I knew.

All the monsters I’ve been fighting so far were just those who wandered around the island without being caught in the third wave.

There are no normal mobs in the fourth wave.

Well, if you have a conscience, it should be like this.

A level 3 monster appears as a boss, but if it is full of rubbish mobs, how do you catch it?

“Let’s try harder!”

In any case, the positive news boosted the group’s morale a bit.

And…

“Now it seems that there are no more around.”

Time passed, and the mobs were finally cleaned up.

We quickly picked up magic stones, reorganized our formations, and waited with a short break.

Maybe 10 more minutes have passed since then.

“You’re here.”

No one asked which direction.

At Amelia’s chanting, everyone raised their heads and stared at one place.

cooong.

Beyond the bushes, where heavy footsteps can be heard.

coo-!

The guy was breaking a tree to reveal himself.

[Koooooooooo—!!]

The first level 3 monster we faced.

Upon sighting him, Raven shouted and shared what he knew.

“…Storm Gush!”

He was also called the ogre of the sea.

***

Stormgushes.

A Tier 3 aquatic monster nicknamed the Ogre of the Sea. If we categorize them in more detail, they are close to crustaceans.

It doesn’t mean that it looks like a lobster.

Its basic form is similar to that of a Lizardman, except that its bloated body up to 5m is covered with thick and hard shells.

coo-!

A long, elongated tail that serves as a counterweight.

A protruding snout.

Even the point of being bipedal and using weapons on the subject with that insane physicality.

coo-!

As soon as it fully revealed itself, everyone gulped their saliva.

“That’s a level 3 monster…”

A non-standard monster that the clans that entered the 7th floor had to hunt with dozens of people.

He had fought many monsters of this size, but the ominous presence it exuded was different from those monsters.

Even so, it wouldn’t be comparable to a hierarchical lord.

I hurriedly shouted.

“Prepare for battle!!”

What are you all up to?

It’s already out of his range.

[Keuo-!!]

The one with the gigantic harpoon in his hand was so massive that he moved incredibly agile and lunged at us.

Therefore, I immediately turned on the gigantic (transcendence) mode.

Yeah, first of all, if you want to fight a guy like that, you have to match your size.

“The size of the body increases in proportion to the strength of the muscles.”

The body of the warrior began to swell in an instant.

The eyes of the running man change slightly.

From simply looking at the prey to looking at the enemy.

Well, the last time I measured my height in this state, it was a little over 5m, maybe? You wouldn’t have known that there were people with the same eye level as you.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Soon, with the [Wild Eruption], he ran out, even bouncing his body shame. Judgment that if pushed by force in the first number exchange, it would surely be looked down on.

Aaaaaaaang-!

As soon as I took a few shots, his trident struck my shield.

Even the word “heavy” is not enough.

‘As expected, even in this state, I’m pushed.’

Even though it was not received but bumped into, the body bounced back. It’s an experience I haven’t experienced since I got the spirit mark [Union].

It’s not like there’s a knockback compensation bonus attached, but since [Giantness] was applied to equipment, it’s become much easier to use t units when talking about my weight.

“Everyone, don’t mess with anything!”

As soon as I was thrown back, Einar swung his adamantium greatsword.

「Einar Pnellin has cast [Beast Control]」

「All conditional triggering effects of the next attack are converted into cutting power」

One of the various ‘transformation’ skills that convert the effect with bonuses into cutting power when hitting. On top of that, the weight of the greatsword and the power to strike it down were added.

But…

kakak-!

Einar’s greatsword only penetrated about 1cm and only scratched the shell.

Rather than Einar’s lack of ability, it’s more correct to see him as a ruthless monster.

It’s not called the ogre of the sea for nothing.

Physical resistance is insane.

Well, there is a separate main dealer, so it doesn’t matter.

“Borrow it for a minute.”

Soon after, Amelia jumped on my shoulder and slammed the dagger into his shoulder.

The dagger was overflowing with an aura that had the effect of ignoring 90% of physical resistance.

Pooh-!

Amelia’s dagger went deep into the handle and then came out.

Fish Woo Woo!

A dark green bodily fluid that rises from the wound due to the pressure difference.

It wasn’t a single significant blow.

It’s not a monster that’s so weak that it hurts or interferes with its actions with that kind of wound… and

its regenerative power is very high.

Whoa-!

Soon he scratched Amelia with his sharp claws. A quick movement that would double my agility.

However, it was not enough to catch a real minka.

Tadat.

As soon as Amelia evaded his counterattack by stepping back, I closed the distance again to prevent further rampage.

The one-on-one mark is still not possible due to lack of strength?

It wasn’t a big deal right now.

Gyi profit.

First off, even though I’m the main tank, it’s not like I have to stop him alone.

“Shell Lizard! Stay away from Bjorn!”

There are several warriors beside him who will distract him even if he is pushed back with a spear.

“Misha Partzran! You guys, help quickly!”

I placed my order quickly.

“Never stick close and stick only when attacking me!”

It is also the first priority for melee players during raids. As soon as the front line was prepared according to my instructions, the battle was established.

[Quoooooo!!]

I’m in charge of tanking for the big hit.

When I’m pushed back, close rangers approach and divert attention.

In that gap, I cling to it again and draw aggro. In the meantime, Amelia repeats the process of putting deals.

“The wounds are already healing. Raven, start by ‘getting worse’! And tell me everything you know about him!”

While repeating the series, Raven performed support magic and briefed on information about the gnome in real time.

“Bottom of the bar! When Stormgash strikes the ground with his feet, you have to move far away! It’s an action when using the special ability called [Eye of the Storm]…” Data that is not enough to be called a

strategy.

But even this was something I hadn’t told my colleagues beforehand.

How can you say something like a strategy?

They only knew that it was a level 3 monster, but in a situation where no one knew what kind of monster it was.

‘But since Raven knows it well, I don’t think I need to step out.’

Maybe if it wasn’t for Raven, I would have had to do the briefing.

Because it’s too risky to pretend to learn while playing together. In a fight with such a monster, a single shot can lead to a fatal injury.

For example…….

「Stormgushes cast [Eye of the Storm].」

Yes, just like what Raven said.

cooong.

In less than a second after he hit the ground with his feet, a whirlpool created a 5m radius and sucked in everything in it.

Whoa!

You can feel the wind pressure even from behind one step.

“Back off!”

In case they got caught up in it, those who got out of the radius took one more step apart.

Oh sure, I was the exact opposite.

Tadat.

Instead of stepping back from the radius, they thrust themselves into the whirlwind.

“Bjorn? Where are you going!!”

[Eye of the Storm] is an aura type skill.

That tornado lasts for 5 seconds around him, not the location.

In simple terms, it means that if he rushes at us, there is a possibility that someone will get caught up in it.

Someone has to take care of the holding to be safe.

Whii-i-iik-!

The moment I entered the radius, the wind raged and wrapped around my body, but I did not get sucked into it like a magnet.

「Gross weight of the character is more than 1000kg」

「Ignore the special effect [Eye of the Storm]」

Cancer Wouldn’t it be more strange if a body like this was blown away by the wind?

Whiik-!

The real problem was the trident stabbed in an environment where it was difficult to open one’s eyes.

To be honest, I didn’t even see it.

But…

Quaang-!

His hand moved wildly and blocked the window.

Is it because you’ve been rolling your body around all this time?

‘Wow, it reacts to this.’

Now the body really reacts before the head.

Quaang! Quaang! Quaang-!

Relying on my intuition, I blocked the window three more times, and the whirlwind subsided before I knew it.

Okay then you can keep your distance now.

Tadat.

As I stepped back, I heard Raven’s shout, which had been drowned out by the sound of the wind.

“Yandel-san, what did you just do!! I said it just before…!!”

Resentment toward members who did not follow instructions.

But as a barbarian, I had only one thing to say. Forgotten is a bit of a joke…

“Oh, I’m sorry. I felt like that was the case.”

You, a wizard, should have told me first.

Heavy people can’t be sucked into it, so go inside and hold on.

This is why local wizards.

‘Aren’t those basic things written in the book?’

It’s deplorable for me.
