Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

“Didn’t you see? A woman who uses an aura. The man named Ruhenpra is an even bigger monster than that.”

“but……!”

“If we go back, there’s nothing we can change. This is a reasonable choice.”

Amelia gritted her teeth at Laura’s words as she grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

I felt like I was about to cry.

“A reasonable choice…? Are you crazy? How is it a reasonable choice for me to live after my sister dies!!”

As Amelia shook her arm as hard as she could, Laura, who was ahead of her, also stopped running.

Laura sighed.

“Amelia, listen to your sister today. Time to be like this—”

“What the hell! Don’t talk like it’s the last time…!”

“……It’s not like that.”

“Or what, why are you running away without even thinking about going back and doing something?!”

“Because those who do this are more likely to live!”

Laura, who shouted in anger at her younger sister who didn’t listen, continued her words like a rapid-fire gun.

“Emily didn’t kill Felik Barker. She used a paralyzing needle. She tied her up like it was on business. She doesn’t intend to kill her right away. Actually, I’m still alive and well.”

“Ah…”

Amelia let out an exclamation involuntarily.

Even in the midst of the tension, unnie must have thought about all of those things before making the decision.

“It’s unsettling, but it’s still the best thing. Rather than being killed by a dog for attacking her, it’s more likely this way.”

“…….”

“Then, if you’re convinced, come follow me.”

Laura resumed her movement as if time was wasted, and Amelia hurriedly followed.

how long has it been like that

Sister Lane Wales encountered familiar faces.

“Huh? Laura Amelia? Were you guys alive?”

“……Durborn-sama.”

Clan members who left Felik Barker behind and ran away.

In the meantime, there was only half the number of people, as if something had happened or they had dispersed.

“Hey welcome. You guys are lucky. We were just trying to escape the city by ourselves.”

“Yes……? Escape?”

“Can’t you see it? What does it mean that man from Rüchen Prague came out of the eastern part? Doesn’t that mean they’re all sorted out and going to celebrate the castle? This city is already over.”

After Durbon’s explanation, the two men next to him added a shudder as if they were getting chills.

“The traitor is not a person. Did you see how he didn’t change his expression while slaughtering dozens of people? I still get goosebumps when I think of what I saw earlier.”

“I heard that when a traitor sticks out his tongue, he’s really mad.”

“If this city falls into his hands, our heads attached to the castle lord will be cut off.”

It was a sudden proposal, but Laura calmly asked for the information she needed to confirm.

“But how do you plan to escape? At the main gate—” ”

Yeah, the gatekeeper is guarding it. But it looks like there’s a hidden byway. It’s a place the Melta Merchant uses to go back and forth to the surface. Does he know it?”

“……okay.”

“Do you guys want to go too?”

Laura accepted the offer without looking further.

“I’ll go.”

“What sister?”

The original plan was to go west to the relative safety of the situation and hide out until the situation was over.

However, this will change the story.

Because if you die, your brother will have to be left alone in this world. At least my younger brother wanted to live a human life.

Maybe this was my last chance.

“Oh, and I told you beforehand, instead of taking me—”

“I know. If anything dangerous happens, I’ll step in.”

“Keuheum yes… as expected, the language is well communicated.”

The man nodded as if he was embarrassed, and soon started moving with the group.

* * *

Shining silver hair.

White skin.

A knight’s armor with royal family patterns and a long sword 1.5 times larger than normal.

I had never met him, but he was a familiar figure.

‘Jerome St. Red.’

The head of the 1st Royal Knights and the strongest of the royal family with the nickname ‘Knight of Light’.

The question is, why is this bastard here now?

According to Amelia’s story, he never came out…

“Give me the fragments of the record.”

Still, thanks to this one word, the situation was roughly drawn.

Why is the Knight of Light here, who should be cleaning up the East by now?

The answer to that reason was very clear.

The purpose of the royal family was not to wipe out Orcules.

‘It must be hard to fight… and win.’

It’s a different level from Rick Omanus, whom I dealt with on the stairs the other day. Of course, he would have passed level 5, which is the maximum level that can be raised with the ‘elixir’ that knights eat

.

Even this is not the end.

‘Considering the wealth of the royal family, all seven essences must be at least level 3.’

It falls behind in the number of integers and average grade.

Not to mention the stat difference resulting from this, and the role groups are also in unfavorable compatibility with tankers and knights.

However, if I had to find a corner to rub it in…

Whoa!

will be the equipment

From the Double Numbers item onwards, the lower level indestructible option is attached by default.

Quaang-!

The sword was swung without a voice, and I received it with a hammer.

It’s the first time I’ve ever had a fight like this.

The basic composition was always to block first with a shield and then hit with a weapon.

“……?”

Seeing me take the blow, he frowned.

Like a knight who can cut anything, he didn’t expect his sword to be blocked in the middle…

“Wait.”

After the blow, I tried to talk by taking advantage of the gap that arose for a while.

I don’t think it will work, but there’s no harm in trying, right?

“Isn’t there some misunderstanding? A fragment of a record? I don’t know about that.”

“You’re teasing your tongue. I heard that you came up from the underground and headed here.”

Hmm, that’s right……

The strategy of seeing the wrong person didn’t work either.

However, useful information came from an unexpected place.

“But… you may have taken it without knowing what it was. The fragment of the record… Give me the necklace the lord was wearing.”

A way of speaking that seems to have a corner to dig into somewhere.

“If the lord was wearing it, are you referring to this necklace?”

Just in case, I pointed to the necklace I was wearing and asked, and he nodded.

“Okay, if you hand over that stuff, I promise you I won’t see any unnecessary blood.”

It was a big fish.

That’s because the fragments of records were already embedded in subspace.

‘He doesn’t know what the fragment stone of the record is.’

What I’m wearing right now is an ordinary necklace.

The only effect was to reduce the casting time when wizards wore it by inserting a large refined stone into it.

By the way, I’ve been wearing things that I secretly embezzled during looting in the past, and I’ve

been wearing them like accessories…

Are humans an animal that can communicate?

I was also good at talking.

Duduk.

Once, I pulled on the necklace with force and broke it off.

“There’s nothing I can’t give you if you want. I brought it out thinking of it as a souvenir anyway.”

“souvenir?”

“Isn’t it the name of the lord of the castle? He told us to go out and fight, but he himself hid in the basement. I followed him and found that he had nothing to take except this necklace.”

“Hmm, was it simply money?”

He listened to me and muttered as if he understood.

Apparently, he saw Rick Omanus stripped of his equipment while he was looking for the castle lord.

“Isn’t it obvious that guys like us are aiming for it?

Most of the long-talkers are manipulative.

But this young knight, who seemed to be eating only rice and wielding a sword, did not suspect me.

Just look at it with contempt.

“I’ve explained it, so leave it to me.”

“Oh, but I need a guarantee before that.”

“guarantee?”

“Give me this and I guarantee you’ll let me go.”

“I don’t break promises—”

Is this a knight of honor?

I wouldn’t be here in the first place if I didn’t know how to lie. Seongju did not know that he had been tricked by the royal family until the moment he died.

Therefore…

‘Leap.’

Breaks the window on the wall and jumps high.

As I jumped up from the 4th floor, my body floated up and I saw a clear view of the city centered on Yeongju Castle.

The eastern side, where the battle occurred, was roaring, and the western side was relatively calm.

Without a bird to look at it leisurely.

Pot-!

A light flashed behind him and he appeared.

It was a skill that could be understood just by looking at the effect.

[Gateway of Light]

A level 3 essence and one that actually belongs to the highest tier among mobile devices.

Instead of a half teleport to a random location, a fraudulent skill that specifies a location.

It’s been a while.

Before raising the barbarian, I ate this often.

“Did you think you could run away?”

Scary to turn around in the air, he swung his sword, and this time he blocked it with a hammer.

to be in a hurry.

It’s not that I didn’t keep my promise.

‘Anyway, this is my first aerial battle.’

The recoil that blocked the sword pushed my body back in the air once more.

As a result, the distance between him and the guy.

Pot-!

The moment he closed the distance with the [Gate of Light] again, I threw away the necklace I was holding on to as hard as I could.

“……!”

It reached out hastily, but it was not far enough to grab the necklace.

For a moment, I could see the trouble in his gaze.

He was contemplating whether to kill me here or not.

Thanks, I realized one thing.

‘It’s a bummer not to break a promise.’

From the beginning, he intended to kill me immediately if I gave him the necklace.

It must have been because he wanted to get rid of witnesses or something.

Well, it seemed that he had no intention of continuing that stubbornness until now.

puck-!

I kicked the guy in the abdomen who was distracted by the necklace.

The guy didn’t even groan.

However, there was nothing to regret.

Because it wasn’t designed for that purpose in the first place.

Whoo-!

The distance widened again by the laws of physics.

He looked at me even as he fell, and asked.

“……What’s your name?”

A voice full of emotions that you have met someone who is purely curious.

Hearing this, I thought.

why do i tell you that

“Are you sick?”

oh i told you

“……what?”

I wanted to take a moment, but he didn’t ride the [Gate of Light] toward me again.

That’s because there is a maximum number of times you can use it at once.

From the 3rd, you have to wait for the cooldown.

Pot-!

Soon, his body was wrapped in light and disappeared from sight. Without having to look far, I saw it emerge from the direction I threw the necklace.

‘Okay, I got rid of this bastard…….’

Then, when I used ‘Transcendence Leap’, I felt as if there was an invisible platform on my toe. .

A destination that is rapidly approaching.

‘Because he’s doing this, it’s like he’s become Superman.’

I smiled and reminisced about the short air battle that had just taken place.

The more I looked at it, the more strange it felt.

‘It’s not some kind of Dragon Ball.’

Should I get stronger soon?

* * *

Cemetery located outside Noark Castle.

Quaang-!

Falling in the center, I performed a fall as soon as I landed.

So, to put it simply…

“Whoaaaaagh!”

It means that he rolled all the tombstones and rolled for a long time.

“…Ah, I almost died.”

He came directly from the castle located in the middle of the city to the outskirts at once, but the price was clear.

Is it because it accelerates from a high place and crashes?

Beyond the numbness in the legs, the sensation of electricity rising up through the bones bloomed.

Considering the pain tolerance, it was practically a joke.

‘……Still, I don’t have to use potions.’

-40 natural regeneration penalty on Ogre Essence.

In the past, because of this, the wound almost never healed without taking a potion, but

this time, the sum of the essence of the Stormgushes and the natural regeneration obtained from the imprint of the immortal far exceeds the penalty, and minor injuries can now be healed in no time with only saliva. got better

Swoop.

After a short break, I got up and stood up.

Looking around, I soon found the place I was looking for.

Yes, I had visited before.

A passage high and wide for a wagon to pass, with a huge tombstone hidden beneath it.

The first thing I noticed was the body.

‘It’s the graveyard manager.’

Residing here under the name of a caretaker and serving as a guard for the secret passageway, he was dead with a body full of knife marks.

‘Since we slept for six hours, Laura must have passed by a long time ago… Amelia must have joined them sooner or later.’

It seemed like I had to follow him quickly to arrive before the incident was over, so I hurried my steps and entered the aisle.

No, it was the car I was about to enter.

‘……huh?’

I stopped.

trudge trudge.

Across the aisle, I saw an old man in a skimpy outfit walking.

pounding.

My heart skipped a beat when I met the old man’s eyes.

At the same time, it felt like I was dreaming.

Seeing me like that, the old man greeted me.

“Heh, nice to meet you.”

It was Auril Gavis.
