Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Just after checking the essence, Erwen appeared in the distance. It was a composition where Erwen led the remaining people and brought them back.

It seems like he came because he was worried because he didn’t come at all…

But I told him to wait until I come back.

“Are you finished? Are there any injuries anywhere?”

Erwen, who quickly arrived in front of me, looked at my body up and down as if he was worried.

Amelia noticed and kept the wizard and navigator away from each other, at a distance where our conversation could not be overheard.

But why?

‘It looks like he really wants to keep it alive as long as possible.’

For some reason, I feel that kind of psychology in Amelia’s behavior.

Do I have to say that sometimes what I don’t know is medicine?

Knowing too much about us makes it even less likely that he will return alive.

Just be careful not to hear anything at all.

He probably noticed that that’s why I put him far behind and made him follow me.

‘Anyway, looking at their expressions, they don’t seem to know that Lee Baek-ho or the Annihilator came and went.’

Fortunately, they were aware of their approach, so they didn’t seem to have violated my order to wait.

No, should I say that it was fortunate that I broke it at a time like this?

If there had been a fight, the side with at least one more comrade would have had the odds. Because of the field effect ‘Challenger’, it is impossible to escape even if a battle breaks out.

Now, Erwen and Amelia are not beings that need to be protected unconditionally like their former colleagues.

It’s just the power to do one person’s job in any situation at any time.

“By the way… I felt magical energy here on the way. What was it?”

Still, Erwen cautiously asked if he was aware of the multiple teleportation magic.

I thought about it for a while and looked around.

“Well, I’m not sure about that either.”

“Is that so? Well… I think I’ve heard that special magic waves periodically occur in cracks or places like that.”

As expected, Erwen agreed without questioning anything.

You would have thought that it might be because it is a special field with little known information. Or that I had absolutely no reason to lie.

Because of that, I feel a bit confused.

But…

‘As expected, this is better.’

The Annihilator is the one who killed Erwen’s sister, Daria.

It wasn’t that he raised assists like a clown, he was really directly involved in the death. However, to talk about Lee Baek-ho, I can’t help but mention meeting the ruin scholar…….

At best, there’s no need to shake the normalizing mentality.

‘There’s no reason to talk about Lee Baek-ho if I’m going to talk except for the ruin scholar.’

After a few more conversations with Erwen, Amelia joined with the navigator and wizard.

And he asked without a subject.

“Did you get what Suits want?”

“Yes, fortunately.”

Let’s get this sorted out for now and talk about the transaction later.

***

After the conversation was over, the exploration continued.

Wasn’t it that I couldn’t stop by other places because I was coming in a straight line?

Monsters will be teeming with other areas.

Among them, there are monsters that have not yet been defeated, and there are those with essences that are sold at very high prices.

So…….

turbug.

Take the first step and move forward.

“Then I’ll go first, so follow me from behind.”

For reference, the hunting method was the same as before.

When I clear the way and kill all the monsters, they follow behind me and collect the magic stones.

But…

‘I’ll have to do some experiments this time.’

Now that I have a new integer, I plan to go along with the performance test this time.

Even the increased stats haven’t adapted to my body yet.

‘I can definitely feel the stat increase because it’s definitely a 3rd grade.’

The essence of the deep sea giant also had unique stats, so the sense of heterogeneity was even worse.

[Deep Sea Giant]

Strength +55 Physical Resistance +35 Natural Regeneration +35 Exorcism +35 Darkness Resistance +55 Endurance +40 Adaptability

+70

However, it is difficult to see that it is rare.

These are good stats, but they are stats that can be easily found in most essences.

Unlike ‘Adaptability’ at the end of the statistic.

‘In the game, the debuff’s effect gradually diminished in proportion to its duration.’

In reality, it felt a little different.

Of course, the aforementioned information must also be applied

.

It became easier to walk in the water a little more as if the adaptability level had been activated.

It was unreasonable to see that there were restrictions on actions from the beginning, but now it should be said that if you don’t concentrate, you don’t even feel like you’re in the water?

Well, it wouldn’t have been this far if it had just been submerged in the sea rather than here, which has the characteristics of being unaffected by water.

‘Then, let’s check the passive as well.’

I used [Giantness] to utilize the passive that I hadn’t tested properly before.

This is because the deep sea giant’s passive skill only responds to the ‘transformation world’ ability.

「The character has cast [Giant].」

「The character’s physique increases, and the threat and body values increase in proportion to the size.」

The physique increases by about 1.77 times, and the ‘threat value’ that helps to turn off monster aggro increases. Increasing [giantization].

「The character used transformation-type abilities.」

「By the effect of [Cell of Origin], the consumption of the skill’s soul power is halved and the highest stat increases by 1.5 times.」

In addition, the effect of [Cell of Origin] is applied. Added.

For reference, the highest stat in my training method is…….

「By the power of the transcendental body, the effect of the [primary cell] increases by 1.5 times.」

「The character’s strength increases by 2.25 times.

」 It is different from Shield Baba.

Originally, the steel giant (rank 4) went into the place where the essence of the ogre went, so for some reason, the strength was higher than the physical resistance.

‘If this happens, it will be difficult to break through the [Adaptive Envelope] level 3.’

Of course, this is only true for now, but it is not to the extent that it becomes a big problem in the final development stage.

After eating the Bellarios Essence, you should focus on physical resistance and work on your stats.

“Your physique will grow in proportion to your strength.”

So, I switched [Transcendence] to active and tried using [Giant].

Sweep.

When I lowered my head and looked down, I could clearly see the ceiling of the historic building that I had to look up earlier.

‘This should be over 6m.’

I’ll have to go back and measure it accurately for details, but for now, it’s just by eye.

Even considering the reduced height due to Gachabon Essence, his physique is much larger than before.

However, even though his physique had grown so much, his strength levels were similar to before he used [Transcendence].

This is because the strength of 2.25 times decreased to 1.5 times.

‘Still, the other values seem to have risen collectively, so there’s nothing to lose…’

The downside of using [Transcendence] as an active is rather not the stats, but the decrease in soul power.

There is a big difference between 75% and 50%.

‘Well, if it’s the total amount of MP now, with [Transcendence] disabled, [Gigantification] will remain indefinitely.’

In [Dungeon & Stone], the MP regeneration speed is proportional to the total amount of MP. And currently I’m level 7 and I’ve been craving a lot of soul power here and there, so the total amount of MP is similar to that of quite a few supernatural magicians.

‘Am I finally on track?’

I maintained the state of [transcendence] to adapt to the heightened eye level.

Although it is under the sea, the air from 6m has a taste that makes a man’s heart tremble.

‘…how big will it be if I delete the Gachabon Essence?’

It’s still early, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

My basic height increased from 185 to 225 and I use [Giant].

I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be a level where there would be no discomfort in wrestling with Liakis, the lord of the third floor?

Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!

I imagined that future in my head and swung the elongated hammer.

Yes, [Transcendence] only applies one skill at a time.

In the first place, in the current state, the speed is similar whether you catch it with [Risk]’s reflex deal or directly.

“The character has cast [Swing].”

If you get hit anyway, it will regenerate immediately, so ignore defense and focus only on swinging the hammer.

「You have killed Liu Moby Dick. EXP +6”

Monsters that lose their consciousness and become light and disappear with the super-large demon grinder wielded with increased strength.

However, when [Swing] was overused, I felt the MP increase in real time.

Therefore…

“The character cast [Soul Submersion].”

I used the active skill.

Among the seven active skills possessed by deep sea giants, such as [Turrent of Blades], [Source of Life], and [Giant’s Blood] belonging to the shapeshifter, that corresponds to the green essence.

This skill also belongs to the unusual side.

Because there is no MP consumption while active.

Or should I say the exact opposite?

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As you inhale deeply, the senses that were empty begin to fill.

「Spirit power is regenerated in proportion to the consumed soul power.」

An MP recovery period that does not consume MP.

Instead, this skill has a cooldown.

It was probably 30 minutes in the game.

It may not seem like a big deal, but it was a very good skill.

You can use it when you are in a hurry, and once you recover MP while hunting, the time to rest is significantly reduced.

‘More than anything else, I’ll be able to counter that bastard……’

Regal Vagos, the dragon slayer.

The Dragon Word he possessed, the silence of his soul.

With this skill, I can counter the dragon’s words.

It means that even in a state of soul exhaustion, you can return to your original condition with a single skill.

‘Then, is the preparation complete enough to overflow?’

I grinned as I smashed the heads of the sea monsters flocking from all sides.

It was because the promise I had engraved in my heart came to my mind one day.

[Can you… win?]

The day I woke up in the body of a warrior with a cold heart and felt a deep sense of loss for the first time.

On that day, I swallowed my powerlessness and made a resolution.

Surviving like a villain.

So someday, when you don’t need a fluke.

[We will meet again, Yongin.]

I will definitely find him.

Kwajik-!

It was then.

***

Day 5 after continuing the hunt for the subterranean island.

I have completed hunting for objects that can only receive experience points here. However, even after that, I continued hunting on the underground island.

There were a lot of islands to attack outside,

but…

Isn’t it a special field that I came to?

Most of the special fields have high difficulty, so the income is good. But in the meantime, hunting here was easier than on the 5th floor for me alone.

‘Still, I don’t intend to visit the Rock Island event again, wasting time.’

Anyway, as I continued my high-speed hunting, I was able to see quite a few essences, and as a result of being a little more greedy, I was able to put one of the 4th grade in one of the two test tubes.

‘It would have been better if the deep-sea giant came out.’

A rating of 4 is sufficient, but it is still a bit disappointing. There is not just one deep-sea giant on the underground island.

If you just walk around, you can come across them with a low probability, but none of them spit out the essence.

Actually, this was normal.

Unlike the gnome we met in the Whirling Undersea Temple, normal field mobs do not have drop rate corrections—

“Suitz.”

As I was briefly reviewing the past, Amelia came over and sat down next to me.

It just looked like it had something to say.

However, he probably didn’t come to say that he should rest a little more…

“The labyrinth will close tomorrow.”

Oh, that’s what you came to talk about.

It was short, like Amelia’s, but it wasn’t hard to understand the meaning behind it.

While saying that in the first place, he glanced at the sleeping navigator and wizard.

“What are you going to do?”

A much more direct question than before.

It seems that I, who didn’t answer and stayed still, was frustrated…

“Wizards kill.”

At first, this conclusion came very easily.

Because I didn’t even think about keeping him alive in the first place.

Even so, wizards have thick hair.

He is lofty, arrogant, and does not easily forget grudges.

And above all…

“It’s difficult to control it after returning to the city as long as it has the background of the Magic Tower.”

“I see. Got it. Then?”

Then Amelia glanced at the navigator one more time and I got up immediately.

And…….

Huung-!

Standing at the sleeping wizard’s bedside, he raised his hammer high.

It was a situation I had experienced once before.

When I woke up from a nap, Hans A, who was my night friend, was doing this on top of me.

Oh, of course, that uncle and I are different.

that it did not fail.

Kwajik-!

The body of the sorcerer, unable to even breathe out his dying words while sleeping, drooped.

“Hehehehe!!”

The navigator jumped to his feet as if he had heard the noise and woke up.

And…

“I’m going to keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life! I’m going to stop working as an explorer too!”

The navigator fell flat and lowered his head.

Considering that the bloody hammer was held high in my hand, it was a bold act.

‘…It’s definitely a waste to kill him.’

Soon I saw Amelia.

He didn’t say anything, as if he would follow whatever decision I made, but I could see greed in the depths of his eyes.

Therefore…

“Emily.”

“Tell me.”

“Can you keep an eye on me when I go back to the city?”

“You don’t have to worry about that part.”

“The basis?”

“Because I had already mixed the poison in my meal and administered the antidote for just one day.”

It was so calm, but that’s why it felt more trustworthy.

On the other hand, the navigator, who did not even know that his life was being thoroughly controlled, shook his shoulders.

“Heeek…!”

Watching the situation, I thought about it once more and made a decision.

“Did you say Nguyen Lok Rob?”

“…yes!”

“Listen to him from now on, okay?”

“Yes! Of course!”

A veteran navigator (unpaid) was added to the team.
