Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 58

Conversation doesn’t seem to work. Episode 58 Rules for Survival (1)

“How did that woman follow me! I didn’t say the witch’s forest was safe!”

Misha shouted with a tired face.

“Bitch persistent!”

I agree.

However, if we make a reasonable guess at the current situation, rather than simply cursing at it…

Once we entered the witch’s forest, that bitch wouldn’t be able to pursue it alone.

So he must have been looking for an explorer he could use.

Playing a poor priest who lost his comrades to vicious marauders.

“See, there seems to be some misunderstanding. That woman is a priest of the Karui—” ”

What! Now I see that they are not mere marauders, but followers of evil demons!”

“No, so that’s not us, that woman—”

“Come on, lay down your head and be condemned by the gods!”

Soon the dwarf tried to talk, but under God’s protection, the man whose brain was pickled only understood what he wanted to hear.

“Davis-sama! Please lower the god’s mace on those wicked people! Only then can my comrades who are wandering in the Nine Heavens lay down their grudges and return to the arms of the god!”

At the same time as Ellie’s cry, a group of explorers on the other side pulled out their weapons all at once.

And it’s the same for us too.

In a conversation between explorers, there are times when fists precede words.

“Don’t worry about injuries, just focus on killing enemies! May Leatlas’ protection be with you!”

When we were told to roll over like a dog, the leader of the other side rolled his eyes and rushed at us.

Shouting out that distinctive fucking slogan.

“The star that rises at dusk will guide us!”

To be honest, it was hard to understand why they went to such lengths to help that bitch.

I can understand this guy who seems to be a devout believer, but the other teammates don’t have to be—

“Don’t be shy! Just kill them and we’ll have a priest on our team!”

“Oohhhh!”

Oh, that was it.

You’re trying to kill us for practical reasons, not for religious reasons.

Now that I see it, it’s a reward, and that bitch seems to have made a lot of promises…

Okay, I’ve figured out the situation to some extent.

coo-!

First of all, I shouted as I received the leader’s ax with my shield.

Sowing the seeds of discord.

“Assholes! Who’s going to leave the team when the priest comes in?”

These cubs were a team of five from the start.

In other words, when the priest comes in, one cub must be expelled from the team.

As I pointed out this from the beginning, the leader kid shouted in bewilderment.

“Do not be swayed by evil talk!”

What is the wicked talk.

I guess I hadn’t even thought about this part.

“Huh huh?”

As if to prove this, the four explorers, excluding the leader, paused for a moment.

Unfortunately, that time wasn’t long.

“Oh, but maybe not me?”

“Heh, isn’t that something we can think about later?”

“One of us could die today.”

“I’m a priest, and it doesn’t matter what it is. Even if I sell only those equipment, I’ll be able to play for a year.”

Guess who the fuck isn’t an explorer bastard.

Every reason is like a fucking psychopath.

It’s just that you all just need a cause and money, right?

‘Yes, it’s nice that it’s consistent.’

I built a shield wall with the dwarf in earnest and analyzed the opponent’s strength.

‘Three melee warriors, two ranged warriors, and one priest in cosplay……’

Like the explorers who came to the Witch’s Forest, it is safe to say that there is almost no level difference between them and us.

Even the number of people is one more.

There was nothing to judge this time.

Considering that Ellie was unable to bring out the power of the evil god because she was cosplaying, it was clearly a disadvantage.

However, if we try to set up a strategy

…

Therefore, I called the Wizard.

“Dwalky!”

Long words were not necessary.

“Ten seconds! Wait ten seconds!”

Now that the time is up, as soon as I call his name, Dwalki answers.

But is it the same as eating jjambab over there?

“It’s a wizard! There’s a wizard on the other side!”

The other side also recognizes Dwalki’s presence and attacks with concentration.

Me and the dwarf were able to cover the three melee fighters, but…

Hui-i-ik-!

It is physically impossible to block arrows and projectile-type skills that fly towards Dwalkie while chanting.

But I wasn’t too worried.

Aren’t we, first of all, a ‘team’ of explorers?

I don’t have to try to do it all by myself.

“Oops!”

The flying arrow was hit by Misha with her dagger, and the projectile ability was blocked by Rotmiller with her shield.

And at the same time, the order was completed.

?Rioll Warb Dwalki cast the 8th grade attack magic [Ice Spear].?

It’s not a reinforced ice spear, but it doesn’t matter.

The opponent isn’t even a large monster.

If this is enough, the moment you hit it, you can send it back to the arms of God in one shot.

Of course, this is a story under the premise that it hits the vital point.

Whii Yii Yii-!

Be prepared to cast magic at people, not monsters.

The time to exercise that determination came much sooner than expected.

What decision will Dwalki make?

Quaang-!

The ice spear aimed precisely at Elisha’s head and fired.

But unfortunately it didn’t hit.

This was the reason why explorers were more difficult than monsters.

“Whoa, that was dangerous. Are you okay?”

“Yes yes! Thank you for saving me!”

I knew that the magic was shooting, and I knew that it was highly likely to target her as a priest.

So there was no reason not to block it.

An explorer who went beyond the 3rd floor and headed for the 4th floor must have that much physicality.

‘…After all, human bastards are the most annoying.’

Uneasy.

Just as Rotmiller and Misha were able to successfully protect Dwalki, the opponent doesn’t stand up to our attack.

So, it was time to make a final decision.

At this point, I’ve seen enough of my liver…

“Dwalky! Use voice control magic!”

“I see!”

When he gave a strong command as if he would not take any questions, Dwalki chanted the spell he ordered without objection.

voice control.

To put it simply, a convenient magic that allows you to do team voice.

Even if we talk to each other now, the other side can’t hear it.

I shouted as I glared at my opponents belligerently.

“Murad!”

“Why are you calling me!”

“Let’s bounce!”

“Hahahaha! What a great idea!”

Fortunately, the dwarf with the right to order in case of emergency agreed with my judgment.

Well, he must have hair like that.

Even if you win this fight, it is highly likely that it will be a victory that only leaves scars. At that time, that bitch will use the power of the Dark God without hesitation.

Even if you try to come, only a gloomy future awaits.

“Misha! When you’re ready, take the Dwalkie!”

“Okay!”

“Hikuro, you use that thing when I give you a signal!”

“Sure!”

Misha and the dwarf nodded without disagreement.

Rottmiller, who will play the most important role, left it, but he did not need to give instructions.

If you pretend, you’re pretending.

“Once I start, everybody stick close and follow me!”

The only thing I can trust is this guy.

Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything more to announce at this point…….

“Now!”

The moment I gave the signal, Misha completed preparations for jumping by carrying Dwalki, who had weak stamina.

And at the same time, the dwarf’s arm guard emitted light.

?Hikurod Murad used the [Guardian’s Arm Guard]?

No.3112 Guardian’s Arm Guard.

First of all, in the game, a 5% damage reduction was always attached, and there was an effect of increasing power according to the reduced damage.

By the way, the effect of using it is……

?Pushes back enemies strongly and temporarily becomes immune to all harmful effects applied to allies.?

Wide-area knockback and debuff removal.

As a number item in the 3,000th generation, judgment takes precedence over field effects.

?Status abnormality [direction value] is canceled.?

?Status abnormality [hearing hallucinations] is canceled.?

?Status abnormality [hallucination] is canceled.?

?Status abnormality [Pain perception enhancement] is canceled.?

Attached melee warrior The moment the three bounced out.

The curved field of view returns to its original state and becomes brighter.

Of course, the duration is not long.

I don’t know how hard he’s been beaten, but

…

For reference, this time even took into account the dwarf’s characteristic, which increases efficiency by 1.5 times when using number items.

But this will be enough.

To buy time to escape.

“What are you doing! Don’t jump right away!”

After that, it seems that they are being chased here and there throughout the exploration.

***

Explorer.

A presence that detects the enemy’s movement first and guides the team members to an efficient movement line.

So, what qualities do you need to be a seeker?

The answer is extremely simple.

‘Data accumulated through prior knowledge and experience of the labyrinth.’

Even with these two things, you can find your way on the 1st and 2nd floors. Needless to say, the third floor is a kind of open world where the terrain features do not change.

However, from the 4th floor, the story is different.

Well, should I say starting with the witch’s forest where the 4th floor portal is located?

?The duration of the use effect of the number item [Guardian’s Arm Guard] has ended.? ?Field effect – Witch’s Forest

is granted ?

Even the trees move as if they were alive.

Therefore, from this point on, special abilities are required for seekers to find their way.

“This way.”

Rotmiller’s main ability was ‘sense of smell’.

After adjusting his sense of smell stats through essence, he accurately found the way to the 4th floor even in this grotesque forest.

When your sense of smell reaches a certain level, you can smell the scent of magical power, and you can use it to find your way?

I couldn’t understand it well, but that was the principle.

It’s just…

“The searcher over there doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person either. Seeing them close the distance in

the exact direction we are in.” Even

so, those bastards followed us well

.

In the end, whoever arrives at the 4th floor portal first is the key……’

When I was trying to organize the current situation to be deceived,

Rottiller said as if he was of the same opinion. ”

From now on , I’ll speed up.”

It’s a race against time.

If we can get there first, we’ll be able to skip unnecessary battles. On the

other hand, if they catch up with us before then,

then we’ll really have no choice but to fight until one of them is dead.

‘The problem is that everyone is tired . ……..’

Life doesn’t work out the way you want it to,

especially if the person is tired and struggling. ”

Miss Karlstein, give

that friend here!”

And the accident happened here.

“Oops!”

It was a failure to give Dwalkie to the dwarf while running to save a little time.

Misha lost her balance and fell down.

Fortunately, Dwalkie was taken over by the dwarf and wrapped around him like a bag. …….

“Rat! I think I have a cramp in my foot! He doesn’t move!”

A dog with a cramp.

Just looking at it, he tripped and sprained his ankle.

“Don’t move for nothing, just stay still.”

I immediately stopped and grabbed Misha by the back of her back and lifted her up.

And the moment I put it on my shoulder , ‘ Fuck

? What is this again?’ The light

disappears and deep darkness covers the eyes.

A dwarf with a torch must have been right in front of him.

”

Bjorn?

”

I lit the light and inserted it into the groove of the helmet.

As expected, until just a few seconds ago, the teammates

next

to

me were nowhere to be seen

. ….

“I guess… it seems like that.”

I fell out in a short moment of only a few seconds.

“Then what are you doing! I won’t follow you right away!”

Realizing that fact, Mischa urged me urgently, but I chose to stay still.

He would, too, do you know where they went?

“That way! It must have gone that way!”

That’s just for our eyes.

In the Witch’s Forest, you can’t rely on sight.

If you go somewhere stern and distance yourself from the team, you’ll just waste your time.

“At times like this, it’s best to stay still. “

Trust your colleagues and trust my judgment.

Isn’t Rotmiller a olfactory system seeker?

He’ll know we’ve disappeared by now, so he’s sure to come back soon.

“

Hey Bjorn…?” …..

It should have been so …….

“How long do we have to wait?” Even

after a minute passed, the group that had passed before did not come back.

What the hell? Do we have to wait

longer ? In an instant,

“Ah!”

A short scream was faintly heard in the darkness,

“Bjorn! I just heard you! It must have been Murad’s voice!”

I can’t be sure, but I think it’s like that.

If it wasn’t for another accident, it’s time to come back to find it.

But…

“You must be in trouble. Hard. Go help right away—”

“Keep your voice down.”

“Why?”

“Because we could be in danger too.”

It ‘s not good to make noise.

You don’t know what’s going on over there yet. “That’s why we don’t have to go to help

all the more—

” Even if we wanted to

help in the first place, there was no way

. What if we kept hearing a constant volume of sound

? I can’t find the right direction.

The Witch’s Forest is such an area.

“Eup!”

Therefore, I put my hand over Misha’s mouth

and focused on hearing

. ”

“…Creating a gap…”

“Ha…… I can’t leave…!”

“Write… .Search… also hatch… hey… can they escape…!”

“…………”

“…Golden !Escape…!”

Several more times after that, faint voices were heard, and at some point they disappeared completely.

In the forest, where not even the slightest breeze can be heard.

“…….”

Quiet . Silence enveloped the surroundings, but I stood still and

waited for another five minutes or so. The missing party never came back.

It was too soon to be sure whether they were dead or alive, but one thing was certain: even

if I waited longer, they wouldn’t come back

. In other words—

“Fucked up.”

I fell out alone with a beast girl.

In a labyrinth full of monsters and looters,

in the middle of the Witch’s Forest, where there’s no way back without a searcher.

Fuck.
