Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 223

Episode 223 Like a Flame (3)

Belzak, Lord of the Abyss.

He is a tier lord with lower actual military power than the 3rd floor Riakis, but with a higher level of difficulty by several times.

That’s why ‘fog in the abyss’ is a scam.

Seal active skills and various usage effects.

3/4 reduction in horsepower efficiency.

Level 5 abyssal monsters appearing as miscellaneous mobs throughout the raid and interfering with them.

Because of these bad conditions, it is difficult to even attempt to catch him unless it is in the second half.

This is because there are too many basic things to prepare for the attack.

A higher-numbered item with regular effects, not use effects.

A top-tier tank that can hold alone.

Dealer who can use Aura or equivalent.

The more, the better the fuse.

Several mages who are powerful even with 1/4 efficiency.

It is recommended that all participants have equipment of at least tier 5 or higher, and even so, if a few special consumables are not prepared, the damage will increase.

But even with all this.

If it’s the 7th day, it can be considered a failure at all.

From then on, additional patterns will be unlocked regardless of the phase.

Simply put, it means that it is impossible for us to catch him even if he is dead and wakes up.

But…

[Finally, we came into his eyes. I’ll be there soon.] I

guess I can do it if it takes time.

I checked the time while waiting for Kyle to join me.

[19:34]

Day 5, 7pm.

After fiercely clearing the road, we checked the eastern portal and now we have only about 2 hours to go to the Goblin Forest.

A valuable result achieved through the sacrifices of warriors.

But it would be a lie if it wasn’t a bit of luck.

“Is Yandel okay?”

“Something’s not okay. I thought we’d run into each other anyway.”

Rather, it is more like a fluke that we only met now.

Perhaps the extreme damage was coming from the expedition that took a different direction instead of us.

“…….”

How many more died in vain.

My head suddenly goes cold, but I don’t feel sorry.

Because it’s the same situation.

They decided to be each other’s bait.

If we had encountered him earlier, on the contrary, the other expedition corps would have been able to clear the path more easily.

“I made you wait.”

Within five minutes, Kyle arrived with the full force for Plan B.

5th level wizard six.

Three knights and three warriors.

I quickly checked my powers and couldn’t hide my doubts.

“Why is this the only number?”

The number of wizards did not change, but other than that, the number was extremely reduced.

What is the reason?

“Everyone else is dead.”

Yeah, it wasn’t like I was just playing behind the scenes.

Six people are short.

If so, who should fill the void?

“Oh, by the way, your colleagues said they would come along, but they stopped me. You’ll have to listen to some bitterness later.”

It’s bitter…….

But isn’t it still six?

Ah, maybe the fairy sisters also came forward to follow.

“……thanks.”

After thanking Kyle, I glanced at the warriors around me.

And he opened his mouth brightly.

“Everyone has heard, but six people are not enough. I’m sorry that all of them are not talking, but do you have someone to go with?”

Before I could finish talking, someone answered.

“I will cover. Following you.”

Rank 5 warrior Alexandro Bell.

He belonged to a large clan, but was pushed out of his priorities and was abandoned here.

“I was tired of stepping on traps, but that’s great!”

Thion’s third son, Karkin.

He was a barbarian warrior in his thirties who was active as a warrior in a clan of 10 people.

It was the first time I had a 4th grade relative, so it was amazing.

“If you go out, make sure to keep your promise to buy alcohol!”

Milton Teterud.

He was the head of a clan made entirely of dwarves.

That doesn’t mean they’re exploring together, but they usually lend their clan members to a linked team in the form of mercenaries?

Rather, it was a clan that felt more like a guild.

“…….”

It was the timing to say thank you, but I was speechless without knowing it.

To be honest, I didn’t expect this situation to happen.

Well, the case is different from before.

Only 2 hours to the portal.

Hope is hope, even if it is hope that will be extinguished the moment it touches despair.

It is not likely that they want to live even if they think of their lives as straw and drilled the road.

It was thought that few people would volunteer to be the bait for the boss mob even though they only suffered this much damage while fighting rubbish mobs.

But how was it in reality?

“Ooh, if I follow you over there, I can join the drinking party too, right?”

“I’m attracted to something else. I think if I close my eyes and follow it just once, I’ll have a feat I can brag about at a drinking party for the rest of my life.”

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

“Take me with you. I’ve always been curious about the guy who does something like Belzac.”

Numerous explorers volunteer with a voice.

Just because you believe in the plan Kyle and I concocted?

Or is it because the brain swept away by this hot atmosphere is just secreting endorphins?

Well, that might be the reason.

But even so, one thing is clear.

“Everybody… has a problem with their heads.”

It’s not a sane choice.

But did that sound strange?

A moment of silence passed.

“……I’m not saying it’s wrong. If I talk about this outside, I think everyone will say that.”

someone has been convinced

“But does that come out of your mouth?”

Someone laughed like it was absurd.

I didn’t really have anything to say.

I just did it because it had to be done.

But…

‘Is that the same for these guys?’

My heart beats hotly as if something really went wrong with my head.

But the head needed to cool down.

I selected six of the numerous volunteers.

There was only one criterion.

When you take someone, the sum is the best.

It was a comrade who had been fighting together all day long, so it was no problem to choose.

I already know roughly their fighting style.

“Hey! Why are you leaving me!”

When the decision was made, Teterud, the leader of the Dwarf Clan, protested.

“Are you sure I’ll grab your ankle?”

“No way.”

“Then why? I won’t let you go until I tell you the reason!”

That little thing is stubborn.

Looking at Kyle, it seemed that the magic circle was being completed, so I briefly explained the situation.

“Even without me, I need someone to lead this place.”

Teterud is a Level 4 explorer.

He has good skills and knows how to handle people because he is the one who leads the clan.

If you’re entrusted with the front line, this guy is perfect.

In fact, whenever I passed out, I heard that this guy showed leadership.

“…… Tsk.”

It’s dissatisfying, but I’m sure I understood it, and he didn’t bother me anymore.

“Yandel preparations are over. It’s almost time for him to come.”

after that

As soon as I heard Kyle say that the magic circle was finished, I sent them away.

“Enough, you guys, start. This searcher Kyle brought will show you the way. I heard it’s quite sturdy, but just in case you don’t know, make sure you don’t die.”

“You talk like you’re a father of some kind. All right and we’re going. See you later. That’s right. Got it?”

“You look like you’re going to be a father.”

“The city has kids. Let’s go!”

As they clung to the wall so as not to block the path, Teterud stepped on the trap again to open the path, and the warriors followed suit.

Everyone passed by and threw one word at a time.

“Don’t die.”

“Hmm, strangely, I don’t think you’re going to die. See you later!”

Most of them were words of encouragement and support.

Those words continued for a while after the group of warriors had passed. Someone said thank you and someone threw the words of apology.

Not just once or twice, but endlessly.

“Why is everyone doing that?”

Kyle laughed at my question.

“That’s right, wasn’t your message stone still lit? Everyone already knows the situation ahead.”

yes that’s it

“Bjorn…….”

As the procession continued, the members of Team Apple Narak also appeared.

Misha looked like she was about to cry at any moment. Raven and Mr. Bear were all messed up.

“Don’t be embarrassed and go quickly. If you block the road, people behind you won’t be able to go.”

“Really…… I won’t leave you alone if you come back injured.”

Um, don’t you mean you won’t let the tanker hurt you?

I thought so, but I swallowed my words.

‘Not bad.’

What if you’re a bit upset?

If all these things are done to get that daily life.

“request.”

“Yes, don’t worry. Even if Mr. Yandel is gone, I will definitely protect our team. Now, Mr. Einar? Let’s go?”

“Ouch, I got it! Don’t pull your hair!” Afterwards

,

Raven rode Einar, who insisted that he not follow, and

the procession

continued

.

The moans of the wounded on the back of the machine,

broken equipment,

blood stains

, sadness in the eyes

, drops of sweat as they limped along,

I could tell without even asking Kyle.

Today was a long day for them as well as I had a lot going on. ” Okay,

then everyone is gone.” Not only

the 1st group I belonged to, but also the 2nd and 3rd groups following the sign we left in the aisle all passed us. It did n’t

take long .

.The

number decreased a lot compared to the beginning.

“It must have become gloomy somewhere.”

When everyone left, the surroundings suddenly became dark.

Maybe it was because the flickering torches were lighting up all around even when the procession passed us?

Once again, the contrast was clear It

feels like we are the only ones left in a lonely world.

‘Anyway, it’s about time to come…’

I lifted my shield

and gazed over the aisle.

“It’s here.”

2m visibility.

Beyond that is the labyrinth. Hundreds of eyes were watching us in the darkness of the

Abyss, Berzak, the Lord of the Abyss

.

He

came .

It’s impossible to run away from this kid. It

‘s safe to say that it was annihilated the moment you encountered it.

Well, if you spread out and run away, you’ll have to survive quite a bit because aggro will bounce around, but…

what can you do if you’re scattered?

It is certain that we will not be able to reach the portal by passing through the mobs, let alone fight.

Therefore…

“Can we use the magic circle right away?”

We made a plan B.

However, we can use this strategy with our resources. There is only one thing that can be done.

“The magic circle has been checked many times, so don’t worry.”

If Plan B fails, everyone will die.

Even if they succeed, if they encounter the Abyss Watcher one more time, they will be annihilated.

Oh, and for reference, this is also one of the reasons for assuming the maximum number of portal searches to be 2.

At that time, many expeditions would have disappeared.

He judged that the chance of reuniting with Berzak was too high, no matter how he passed it once.

“Prepare for battle.”

The moment their pupils were revealed in the darkness, everyone drew their weapons and prepared to fight.

I know it by listening to Kyle’s explanation.

What does this pupil mean?

“…….”

These insubstantial eyes are the effect that occurs around Bezac.

For reference, the radius of the game is about 2km.

It’s not like a simple wallpaper, though.

All of these eyes share vision with the gnome.

In other words, Bezac is already looking at us.

“As you all know, our goal is to hold out as long as possible. Until the other explorers flee out of his line of sight.”

Kyle repeated the explanation he had given several times to see if he was nervous.

“What fools do you think we are? You remember everything without exception. You said that if your predictions were correct, you’d be able to hold out for about 10 minutes, right?”

“I see. I’m sorry. But I have to say one more thing. I forgot to say it earlier… No matter what happens, protect this friend Yandel.”

“Huh? Yandel? That’s right.”

“Are you not asking why?”

“Even if I don’t say it, everyone will know. At least if this guy survives, we can return alive.”

Everyone nodded at the warrior’s words.

“I was trying to say that if Yandel, who defeated the Watcher of the Abyss, died, he might target the main unit…”

Kyle laughed inconsolably and shortened his words.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t seem to mean much if I say it anyway.”

“Haha! So, no matter what the reason, it’s fine as long as the result is the same, right?”

“You are indeed right, but in this respect, do you think warriors and wizards are no different?”

The light conversation made the stiff atmosphere a little more friendly.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.

Whoa!

A shadow shot in a sharp form like an awl.

Quaang-!

The moment I blocked it with a shield, the back of my hand felt pain.

Not deep.

It’s just a little prick in the skin.

‘It’s the first time I’ve met in such an unprepared state, so I can’t calculate the deal.’

I never thought that a normal hit would pierce the moonlight shield.

Is it because it’s not in the [Enlarged] state?

The expressions of the warriors who saw my perforated shield hardened coldly.

Kyle muttered as if to inspire morale.

“……Let’s hold out for 10 minutes.”

It was already dark.

Still, somehow I got a laugh.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Originally, warriors laugh when they are in trouble.”

I looked ahead.

A shadow shimmered in the dark.

Lord of the Abyss, Berzak.

One of the bosses that can only be attacked in the second half.

A monster among monsters that we can do nothing but be beaten.

But what do you mean?

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”

Even so, this guy is only one gobi.

After an exceptionally long day today.

to face tomorrow.
