Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 426

Episode 426 Like Ice (1)

When four people stand, it is completely different from the snow on a glacier that filled a road.

A structure close to an empty lot open on all sides.

The range to be defended by the vanguards has increased significantly, but the number of vanguards in the expedition has rather decreased.

‘The goblin I gave you.’

The pure tank line is now just the three of us.

However, in the meantime, Jun has a crippled leg, making it difficult for him to show off his skills.

so that······.

‘Puta Recovern Kaislan Lavien Amelia.’

The avant-gardes belonging to melee are also sparsely separated to form a barrier. Of course, there are too many empty spaces to call it a barrier, but…

This is a problem that cannot be changed by complaining.

We did the best we could.

All that remains now is to take out the results.

Shaaaaaaa-!

A black mist spreads in all directions and covers the clearing.

It’s the work of the black magician.

It has a debuff effect, but its real purpose is probably to block our view.

‘Visible range is about 1m.’

The warrior’s body, whose vision is narrowed, is sensitively heated.

And in such a situation,

various undead monsters that appeared from the darkness

[Geoeoeoeoeo] stick their teeth and wield their claws.

All of them were summoned by the priests of Karui.

In the eyes of the glacier, the trade was useless because the road was narrow, but that’s not the case now.

Kwajik-!

Wielding the hammer here and there, pushes away the approaching monsters.

That was when

[Mister…!]

As soon as the warning from Erwen, who is in the spiritual form, pierced his ears.

swish-!

With a short gong sound, a sharp blade aims at my neck in the dark.

Kakak-!

The reaction was slower than usual due to the narrowed field of view, but somehow I blocked it with my shield.

But at that moment.

Woo-woo-!

A pure white light emanates from the area where the heart should be.

At first, I was confused because I wanted something, but I quickly figured out what the phenomenon was.

?Periton Eriabosti cast [Undying Lantern].?

It is one of the priest’s buffs.

In the game, that skill was not used much because it only ended after raising the SPR level.

but······.

‘Did you use it to secure your eyesight? He was smart.’

Unknowingly, I laughed.

Shaaaaaaa-!

The white light that blooms from the heart pushes away the darkness.

Now the visible radius is about 3m.

Of course, the darkness filled in the empty space remains.

I could barely see Sven Farab and Amelia on the left and right.

but······.

Kakak-!

Although you may not be able to see your face because it is blocked by the darkness, the light that burns in the heart is distinctly shimmering.

Like fireflies swimming in the dark.

“Aaaaaaaaa!!”

He cuts off the flying blades with his shield and swings his hammer frantically while checking the lights around him in real time.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The light shaking and turbulent, as if indicating that they were fighting fiercely.

It may be a visible target for enemies hiding in the dark, but it is a mark for us.

That the comrades next to me and next to me are still alive and fighting.

evidence of such belief.

?Erwen Fornaci di Tercia cast [Concentrated Fire].? As

the arrows were shot, the darkness was pushed back.

“Benjamin Orman cast [Purification Moon].”

Light grains falling from the sky permeate my body.

And the longer that time goes on.

Pooh-!

Wounds accumulate on the body.

The woman who introduced herself as Six or something said while looking at me.

“…You’re much weaker than before.”

That’s because I can’t use [Cheol Ong Fortress] now.

Even if Eli Baba (ground) mode was activated, the ability to block auras was greatly reduced.

no where is that?

There is no strength bonus from [Giantness].

[Swing], which was his only striking skill, and [Eye of the Storm], which was used to keep enemies in check from time to time, could not be used.

but.

It’s something I always say over and over again.

“So what?”

I said with a grin.

“If you think you’re weak, kill me.”

“·······.”

“Because I never fall.”

Exactly, I was determined to do so.

In a fight like this, the one who stands to the end is always the winner.

“…do you believe in the priest?”

that’s not wrong

It would have been difficult to hold on if it wasn’t for the heel that was coming in even at this moment.

but······.

‘What are you splitting?’

I mean, she’s a very funny woman.

“Is it wrong to trust your colleagues?”

Originally, [Dungeon and Stone] was a team game.

Quaang-!

Hit the hammer in the direction the sound came from.

Of course, there was no feeling of hitting that was unique to the head, which was transmitted to the fingertips from the handle of the hammer.

“You look impatient for trusting your teammates.”

Oh, that’s a lot of dirty talk.

“Are you anxious? That I’m the only one dealing with you here?”

This woman’s intentions are obvious.

Something that excites me and makes me reveal even a little gap. If that hadn’t been the purpose in the first place, this icy woman wouldn’t have fluttered her snout like this.

The problem is… it must have worked a little.

Whoa-!

swing the hammer once more

Even so, doubts and anxieties are not alleviated.

Where are all the other guys? I definitely expected a lot of people to come to me. So I thought that if I held on, my colleagues would be much more comfortable.

“Aaaaaaa!!”

Among the sounds of clashing weapons, someone’s scream is heard.

“Bjorn Yandel, you are the last.”

Whose scream is that?

“Because I already fully realized then that you don’t fall easily.”

enemy? He or not?

I can not know.

but······.

“So, until then, I hope you never collapse—”

He forcibly cools his overheated head.

It’s not like I can’t go and check it right now.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

I just have to believe and do my job.

***

said the archbishop who took him in as a child.

[You have no parents anymore. Your parents are only Tovera, the brilliant sun.]

[For God’s agent, worldly affection has no meaning, so throw away your human heart.]

[Now, from today onwards, you are Jun. ]

Jun, the former Inquisitor of Tovera Church.

The day he abandoned the surname Arshen.

After that day, he lived a life like a beast named God’s agent, not a human being.

[This is a must. Aren’t you a man too?]

I chanted prayers and castrated my desires

[Ah, it hurts…!]

[You still have a human heart.]

I received training that was close to torture every day.

[You can stand up. As long as the sun’s light is with him.]

There were times when he wished he would be broken like this, but the warm light of the sun forcibly fixed him.

When he became an adult like that, he became a being that could no longer be called a person.

There was no doubt.

Just as the church commanded, he continued to work for the world in the name of God.

but······.

‘Why was it…’

There was no special occasion.

That day was an ordinary day.

The sky was overcast, but the sunlight was warm on my skin. However, that day, Arshen had her first question while looking up at the sky in a daze.

‘Am I correct?’

A very late question at the very least.

Even thinking about it again, I don’t know why such a question suddenly arose. Well, maybe the family of three I saw on the road that day looked so splendid.

One thing is clear, from that day on, the life of the beast was over.

[…what the hell! How could you do that!]

He gave up his position as a Heretic Questioner and returned to being a normal church member. The electoral process changed, but only then did he become disillusioned with the Order.

It was not hatred toward God.

For the first time in the question that came like a revelation, he felt the presence of God up close.

On the contrary, the faith became stronger.

‘I was not right.’

Frustration preceded anger.

The weight of the sin committed by using the name of God as an indulgence finally began to tighten the whole body.

A normal life seemed unacceptable.

But that’s why I longed for that life more earnestly.

yeah maybe that was it.

[Lastly, I will ask you one more thing.]

Jun Arshen accepted the last mission to cut ties with the archbishop… no, the old man who was now a cardinal.

It was because I thought it was a mission for this world, not a mission to create an absent sinner as usual.

I thought it might be a little bit of atonement.

And time passed…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!!!

reached now

“punishment.”

maybe this will work

To punish the foolish child who was manipulated by those who misinterpreted the will of God and were swayed by human hearts.

Yes, there were times when I thought so at first.

However, he could speak now.

If this is really his punishment.

“You are… wrong.”

Clearly it is wrong.

Even if it was him who brought him out of his beastly life.

This… is not correct.

“Aaaaaagh!”

“How did they get here…!”

The lamp in my chest goes out.

Those who wanted to move towards the future.

Swoop.

The right leg doesn’t move at all, as if he won’t let it go.

Swoop.

It drags its legs and staggers forward.

Little by little, even if it’s a risky movement, as if you’re about to fall.

Swoop.

It was only when I went on that I realized something.

Maybe it’s like a pun, but…

Swoop.

Those who want to go can go.

under any circumstances.

‘If it wasn’t for that man, I probably wouldn’t have known for the rest of my life.’

Then I heard a sound from behind.

“Jun-nim! What are you doing!”

Perriton Eriabosti.

A woman who, unlike herself, has lived a very bright life and carried out the justice of pure whiteness. A woman who burned her will to live for the sake of her lovely child.

It’s not just her.

“Barhatun Wiar!”

The bearded wizard had a wife he loved.

?Gold Aldidi used [Nullify]?

The old man who lost a child had a long-cherished wish to be resolved.

?Titana Aqlava cast [Vampiric Awl].?

Dwarves have a strong cause.

Suddenly, before the start of the battle, Futa Recovern’s words flashed through my mind.

[The more you listen, the more miserable you become. I don’t know, but if I had to choose the least of us, it would be me.]

He was wrong.

Of the eighteen who have survived so far. No, even with all the 30 people who started at the beginning.

Perhaps the most insignificant of them all.

No, obviously…

‘It’s me…’

Soon, Jun realized his role.

“Come over here!”

You are born with only your parent’s name.

Become a Heretic Inquisitor.

After wandering, I arrived at this cold place.

All the moments I saw, heard, and felt on this journey.

“I’m just doing my job.”

It was all for this moment.

It was like a revelation.

The moment I realized, my mind brightened.

There was no more fear.

I didn’t even think that this moment was an ordeal.

Even the immobility of one foot was considered an inevitability of standing in this place.

“I thought there would be a avant-garde here too.”

“You can’t use your legs.”

“Is that why you were here?”

“Hurry up and rule it out.”

Enemies emitting a red aura rush towards him in perfect order.

Jun raised his shield.

Kakakak-!

Two daggers pierced the shield.

and······.

Pooh-!

Two daggers pierced his lungs.

There was no pain.

For the first time in my life, I felt grateful. The rigorous training I received as a child.

?Jun Arshen cast [Descent of the Eucharist].?

God’s power dwells in her body.

Feeling like you can truly do anything.

Soon he let out a shout.

Although it may not be a cry appropriate for a paladin.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

It will be okay once in a while in the yard that I can’t pay for all the sins I’ve committed anyway.

yes once in a while

To let out a cry that I just wanted to spit out.

“We have to help Jun!”

A priest wizard archer.

The rear row members who had retreated behind him began to help him as much as they could, displaying their talents.

However, even so, the spark of life of Jun Arshen quickly went out.

less so

A shield falls from a torn arm.

Fuuk Fuuk Fuuk-!

The dagger cuts through the upper body.

Jun Arshen didn’t even think about blocking or avoiding any more.

Just stand there, concentrating on not falling down.

Seeing him like that, the Rose Knights exchanged opinions as if they didn’t understand.

“Even if I die, an injury that should have died a long time ago.”

“… But why isn’t it falling down?”

“I’ve already lost more than three minutes. Get rid of it quickly.”

A stronger offensive.

Fu-wook!

The blood spilled on the floor forms a puddle and blurs my mind.

How many minutes did you stand?

The sense of time is also distorted, and even the faces of the enemies become hazy and cannot be seen properly.

However, there was one thing that was clearly visible.

Shaaaaaaa-!

Lanterns flickering in the dark.

There will definitely be him among them.

Bjorn Yandel.

Perhaps he is doing his job at this moment and moving forward step by step.

“clan······.”

Did you say that you will make it when you go to the city?

I’m not afraid of death, but I suddenly felt regret.

When the word came out, he didn’t say anything because he thought it wasn’t his place.

“I thought it would be fun…”

It must have been.

The royal family and Noark and many other organizations that have abandoned us. Even if all of them are against us.

Pooh-!

A sharp blade cut through the lungs.

Jun Arshen intuitively realized.

that all his flames had burned out.

“·······.”

“·······.”

The noisy surroundings become quiet, and the sight becomes black. The flickering lights in the distance move away and leave traces like stains.

and······.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The darkness recedes and the whole area is colored with light.

It was as if he had come to pick up his son after completing his mission.

A light that warmly embraces the whole body.

“Pu puhehehe…”

Jun Arshen smiled.

Even if this is just a hallucination you see before you die.

Even if it’s just a vain belief and expectation.

“Save me who was wandering…”

without punishing foolish sinners with a whip.

Please, weary and weary souls.

“Please hug me…”

It was the moment I had been waiting for.

***

No strategy, no tactics.

A series of struggles just to survive.

Kwaaaang-! Squeaky puff-!

A melee with the sound of explosions, the sound of friction from weapons, and the sound of spirits and screams.

After the battle, how many minutes did such a situation go on where it wouldn’t be strange who lived and who died?

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The fog that enveloped us began to dissipate.

There’s no way the black magician’s magic has already run out…

‘Who killed the warlock?’

Well that’s it, we’ll find out soon.

Soon the fog clears up and the narrowed field of view returns to normal.

The first thing I saw was a woman frowning.

and······.

‘When did he go there?’

A knight vigorously brandishing his sword in the distance where the enemy’s back row gathered in the front.

Meland Kaislan.

Around him, one of the robed Bisils lies with her throat cut.

‘It’s a sudden action, but it’s nice.’

After that, I looked left and right.

First of all, there were no deaths among the vanguard.

But not everyone is talking about it.

The most serious is, of course, Lavien.

He said he was confident in punching, but he didn’t have a sword.

‘Okay, no one’s dead yet.’

So what about the rear?

It was also there that the screams were heard earlier.

‘It looks like someone shouted the name of our ancestors.’

not sure.

There must have been a lot of noise around.

Tadat.

Taking advantage of the moment when the woman slightly distanced herself from me, I quickly checked behind me.

Contrary to expectations, that place was the most miserable.

Three Knights of the Rose standing in front of the back row.

“·······.”

A corpse lying on the floor.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw it, but when I looked closely, it was a member of the Rose Knights.

and······.

‘Jun blocked it.’

I see Jun standing in front of him as if protecting the back row.

As soon as I found him, the conversation we had before the battle started flashed through my mind.

[You mean… hide in the back row?]

He didn’t seem to like my request.

However, he reluctantly nodded at my persuasion that the real fight would be after he returned to the city, and that he needed your strength when he went outside later.

By the way…

‘Until the guy who couldn’t even walk properly became like that…’

I sighed bitterly when I saw Jun’s face.

It was even more difficult to find a place where the body of the guy who was covered in blood was intact.

Maybe this guy made a decision too.

This is not the time to be sacrificing yourself for the future.

‘If it wasn’t for this guy, the back would have been completely harpooned.’

While the fact is dizzy, a sense of relief also blooms.

Still, thanks to Jun’s fighting spirit, he was able to achieve the result of killing one of the Rose Knights in reverse.

pounding-!

The sense of incongruity came later.

“why······.”

Jun stood upright.

Although he may not have a shield in his hand.

Apparently it was.

but······.

“Are the lights off?”

Unlike the other members, the lights are not lit.

And unlike the heart, which only pounded, the head immediately came up with the answer.

yes you are dead

“······!”

I wasn’t the only one who was late to notice his death. The Rose Knights, who were fighting right in front of their noses, later realized Jun’s death and dashed forward to ambush our rear line.

However, their daggers did not reach where they wanted.

Kang-!

As soon as she checked her back, Amelia, who moved her body first, cut off the two daggers along with her alter ego…

Pooh-!

Perhaps I was too distracted, I was hit with a knife in the back.

Thanks to you, my mind was blown.

‘… I thought wrong.’

I focused on defense with the mindset that if I endured, I would win.

That’s because the active skill is also sealed.

Don’t be greedy and think it’s best to stably serve one person while using a meat shield.

but······.

[Uncle…!!]

Was this really the best?

Was that really all I could do?

It was a part that I thought I did my best without a single doubt until just a moment ago.

But now I couldn’t.

That’s because I saw it.

From last to last with sluggish legs.

The paladin, who protected his colleagues by burning everything, stood upright and defended his enemies even after death.

It will definitely be a word that can be used at such times.

I mean you did your best.

Kwak-.

After making up my mind, I placed an order with Erwen.

“Change Erwen’s attributes.”

The ground mode, which specializes in defense, only increases the damage.

So…

[Yes? What?]

As soon as I hurriedly said the desired attribute, a change came to my body.

Shaaaaaaa-!

Its attributes are neither water nor fire nor earth nor wind.

Erwen’s main attribute called Blood Spirit.

“The spirit of darkness dwells in the character’s body.” An

ominously thick darkness blooming over the skin.

By name…

?All resistance values are fixed at 0.?

?Holy resistance is fixed at -200.?

?Dark resistance is fixed at +800.?

?Abyssal Blessing Bonus.

? .?

?All types of attacks receive unavoidable blow correction……?

?……?

Elemental Barbarian (Black) Extreme damage mode.
