Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Day 3 was almost starting.

We left the Glacier Cave and returned to the Crystal Cave.

There were many troublesome things, but the income of this crack was beyond imagination.

Gensia’s equipment.

Mr. Bear’s 5 million stones.

And even the Yeti and the essence of the Guardians.

For a reward for clearing the 1st floor crack, I saw an outrageous benefit.

I earned less than 2 million stones in two months with a party of 5 on the 4th floor.

‘Nimiral.’

Realize it all over again

After all, I have to go through some shit to get this kind of luck.

Slow-!

Soon Misha slashed a razor wolf that was approaching us with her new sword and exclaimed in admiration.

“Ohh!! What is this sword? It’s really good!”

It seems to be a one-shot, one-kill anyway, but it seems that the difference was felt from the taste of the hand.

“You’ll have to appraise the details, but it’s likely to be a number item.”

“You’re the number one item? Then isn’t this really expensive?”

Seeing Misha’s flustered expression, I laughed involuntarily.

Where is the ‘venomous snake’s fangs’?

The leather greaves handed over are also expensive.

It was made of Wyvern leather, the second-level material.

‘With this level of specs, I wouldn’t worry until the 5th floor.’

I feel like I’ve finished a homework assignment.

Since the initial and mid-level settings have been completed this time, one person’s share will be solid even without additional upgrades for a while.

“So, are you going to the second floor now?”

“It should be.”

I rode the compass with Misha and moved all the way.

First of all, the purpose of entering the labyrinth this time has been completed, but it is a waste to spend the rest of the day playing.

‘There are no seekers… but if I do well, I wonder how I can go up to the third floor.’

Anyhow, Misha took full responsibility for the monsters she encountered while moving. It was because the sword had changed and the stats had risen significantly, so he needed to get used to the new sense.

“That Bjorn? I think I’m done.”

“Are you sure?”

“Uh… that’s… no. I’ll just keep catching it. But I’m really asking just in case… isn’t it annoying?”

“…Are you suspicious of me?”

“Oh no! Absolutely! It can’t be!”

Misha’s reasonable suspicion anyway.

I moved comfortably and helped Misha with her training. It’s a new sword, but I need to get used to the ability of the essence.

When I saw it, I was very happy.

‘I really didn’t know that Guardian Essence would come out.’

As for frozen trees, the lycanthrope essence performed as well as the Yeti.

[Lycanthrope] Grade 7

Agility +10 Cutting Power +12 Cold Sensitivity +15 Cold Resistance +10 Physical Resistance +7 Fighting Spirit +10

First of all, cutting power, which is the core of the swordsman series, is added to the stats.

Passive skills are very deceptive.

(P) Blood in the Snow – Increases cold sensitivity by 1.5 times.

Increases cold sensitivity by 1.5 times.

Not only does it shine in the second half, but it also has good synergy with Yeti’s [Cold Condensation].

The same goes for active skills.

(A) Ice Crushing – The damage dealt to enemies in ‘frozen’ state increases slightly against enemies in ‘frozen’ state.

First of all, there is no need to explain the effectiveness of this, so pass.

(A) Unbreakable – Cancels the inability to act.

Although it has the downside of consuming a lot of soul power, [Indomitable] is also a good skill that significantly increases the stability of dealers who are vulnerable to CC.

‘Above all, if you have this, you don’t need to take care of the exorcism stat that much.’

Originally, you should have been able to choose only one of these skills, but…

Misha absorbed the Guardian’s essence.

Not only can he use both skills, but his stats are about 1.5 times higher than normal integers.

“If possible, try to attack somewhere other than a vital point.”

“Eh, but he died in one shot…”

“Then, wouldn’t it be fine to hit it with a fist?”

“Okay… huh? Still die in one shot?”

I licked my lips at the sight of the razor wolf frozen in one punch after using [Cold Condensation].

Is it because it’s a 9th grade monster?

[Ice Crushing] turned into light and disappeared before I even put in a link, so I couldn’t properly train.

“I’ll have to go up and do the rest.”

“……Does it have to be done even after going up?”

Tsk Where are you going to eat only raw?

“I repeat—”

“I know. The easy road isn’t the slow road.”

Uh uh… that’s right.

When I was speechless, Misha took the lead with a grin. It seemed that it was quite fun to move only the tip of the tail gently.

‘……When I do something wrong, pretending to lose in an argument will solve it easily.’

I wrote down the number 13 on how to use Missha in my head and followed after Missha, whose tension went up.

Time passed like that, and it was about seven hours after he came out of the rift.

‘It seems like it’s about time for the darkness to come out—’

I stopped walking.

Whoa-!

The ground shuddered slightly, and the crystals embedded in the cave walls began to glow brightly.

The color of the glow also changed.

From soft purple to intense red.

‘I expected it, but it seems that he really summoned it.’

It meant that the layer lord had been summoned on the first floor.

***

“No big deal, just keep moving.”

“No big deal? I’ve never seen anything like that before—”

“Someone just summoned a Hierarchy Lord. Never mind the aftermath—”

“What? A Hierarchy Lord?!”

Oh, it’s an eardrum.

Would the layer lord I met on the 3rd floor remain like a trauma? Mischa clings to me almost like a match.

You don’t have to be so surprised.

“Misha, calm down.”

Unlike the 3rd floor, the 1st floor lord is calm.

First of all, the summoning method is that if there are 5 or more people gathered in one place after the 3rd day has passed, they will appear with a probability… and the

portal will not close even if they are summoned, and the monsters that appear on the floor will not change.

Above all, once summoned, Liakis will slaughter all over the field until he dies, but this guy just quietly disappears if the raid fails.

“So, are we okay?”

“Yeah, so don’t worry.”

After he calmly explained the situation, Misha took a deep breath and regained her composure.

But when the anxiety subsided, did curiosity bloom?

“But who the heck summoned it by mistake? Everyone knows that no more than five people should go here.”

“Well maybe it’s not a mistake.”

“Isn’t that a mistake?”

I just shrugged and kept quiet.

Situationally, it’s highly likely that the person who bought the strategy for the first-floor lord from the community summoned it……. but it’s

not possible to say that.

‘He’s a pretty quick-tempered guy. The preparation period must have only been two weeks.’

Um…… In other words, it is not impatient, but is it possible to say that the power is big enough to have all the preparations in it?

‘If I do well, I might be able to find out who the user is.’

After returning to the city, I continued my journey, determined to find out if there were any rumors about a clan or party that succeeded in hunting the hierarchical lord.

It was a time when I felt the vacancy of Rotmiller again.

‘I thought it would take almost a day.’

After wandering here and there using only the direction the compass showed, we reached the second floor portal.

For reference, I chose the land of the dead that connects the southern ghoul district.

「You have entered the Land of the Dead on the 2nd floor.」

The wet, soggy black earth.

Exceptionally narrow visibility among the 2nd floor.

And the screams of the banshee that sounded like background music.

“It’s been a while here.”

For some reason, as soon as I stepped on the ground, a longing heart bloomed.

Together with Einar, I broke a skeleton, hit a rice cake with Deathfind, and went around excitedly. I met that psychopath and almost died… ‘Nimiral.

‘

Is it because it reminds me of that time?

I suddenly feel cold.

“Eh, every time I come here, I feel bad. I’d rather go to ‘Rock Desert’.”

“There’s nothing we can do without Rotmiller.”

It was central, so I could go anywhere, but the reason I chose the Land of the Dead was simple.

Of the two floors, going to the third floor is the easiest.

I’m going to have to get lost a little at the end, but I just have to go north for now.

‘Besides, it’s just the two of us, so I’ll have to summon the Death Knight and catch it.’

I don’t really need the essence, but it’s hard to catch when there are five of us, so I decided to supply experience points now.

Unless it’s a few cracks, isn’t it someone you can only meet on the 6th floor?

‘Since it’s a 6th grade monster, we can test how strong it is.’

Of course, I had to complete Misha’s training before summoning him.

“Let’s go.”

Moving north, I quickly escaped the area where the 9th grade monsters such as the skeleton sphere appeared.

Did it take about 5 hours?

The terrain changed from a wet swamp to a hard stone floor.

[Ooh ooh ooh—!!]

Before long, Deathfind appeared.

The so-called ‘newby cutters’ puppies are gathering in groups of four like a car on the 3rd.

In the past, Einar and I went through a lot of trouble catching one.

‘Well, now I’ve become a body that won’t die even if I want to be beaten to death.’

Deathfind is a mob that specializes in defense and regeneration.

It summons ghouls, but there’s no way a 9th grader will be able to deal with them.

To put it simply, Misha is the perfect opponent to test out her new skills.

“I’ll be turning my attention to you, so don’t worry and just focus on using your new ability.”

“Okay.”

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”

As soon as we cast [Wild Eruption], Desfind, who had been staring at us from the boundary of the torch, screamed and charged us.

[Ooh oh oh oh oh-!!]

First of all, the two of them blocked the charge with their shields, and one of them evaded to the side and let it go. And the last one is…

Quaang!

I was just annoyed so I got it right.

It’s the first level 8 monster I successfully hunted, so I have a strange feeling.

In the past, I was pushed out of power by one of them.

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkb]

When I put power on the shield and pushed it, the pups of Deathfind were helplessly pushed away.

“Is it still far?”

“It’s over!”

Misha, who finished ‘Enhanced Cold Condensation’, brandished the fangs of the poisonous snake.

Kakak!

It was blocked by Deathfind’s shield hand made of bones and muscles, but it wasn’t a meaningful defense.

A shield hand that froze up to the elbow in one flat hit.

「Misha Karlstein cast [Ice Crushing].」 When

Misha swung the other knife at the ‘freezing’ area, it shattered and scattered all over the floor.

[dream… Right?]

Since it is a cold attribute, it cannot be regenerated even with [Physical Preservation].

As if he didn’t even feel the pain, Desfind only had a confused look on his face.

It seemed like I instinctively sensed that it was dangerous.

“Deathfind cast [Call of the Dead].” When

four of them used summon skills at the same time, the number of ghouls crawling out of the ground reached a whopping 40.

Of course, this also didn’t mean much.

Her body, which had been easily torn by nails in the past, was now covered with a breastplate made of titanium… [Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…

?]

His physical resistance increased and his bare skin became quite strong. To be honest, there was almost no blood coming out from just being hit.

Even if they came out, the hands of the ghouls, who are poisonous to rats in acid, would melt. But even in the midst of that, the wound was quickly healing…

“Bjorn… What are you… a monster?”

Seeing people as monsters

Hiding his proud heart, he grumbled and replied.

“Stop watching and get rid of it.”

After all the settings are over, won’t you treat me like a human?

***

After that, he continued his training while traveling north.

Thanks to that, Misha also got a sense of how much she had to freeze to be judged ‘frostbite’ or ‘frozen’.

Also, meeting Chimera Wolf, who has an incapacitating skill, he perfectly mastered the use of [Indomitable].

“Umm, well? It’s okay because I just feel like giving strength?”

After learning how to use it, he advised me to use it only when absolutely necessary, as it consumes a lot of soul power.

If you run out of soul power, you won’t be able to use [Enhance], [Infuse Poison], or [Ice Crushing].

“Do you think I look like a child?”

……That’s not wrong.

That’s because he only had two skills until he hit level 4. There wouldn’t have been a point where I would run out without having to adjust my MP.

‘……This should have been said a hundred days ago. You have to experience it yourself to feel it.’

For that reason, they continued to hunt as if they were driven. And as a result of memorizing skills every time saying it was okay, I finally ran out of soul power.

“……Somehow, it feels very strange. It’s not like I’m tired or anything, but should I say my body feels empty?”

“So, didn’t I tell you to distribute it well?”

“…I thought this would be fine.”

Misha’s MP ran out and it was time to rest, so we started camping.

We found a building with a wall, built a bonfire there, and went to sleep one by one.

and how long has it been

“Ha ha ha, is that true?”

“That’s right, this is my friend.”

A chattering sound was heard from a distance of about 2 30 m.

At first I thought they were just passers-by explorers, but as I continued to hear conversations, they seemed to have settled down unaware that we were camping nearby.

‘Well, it’s about time to wake up Misha anyway. There’s no need to go and tell them to go away.’

It was a time when I quietly passed the rest of my time with such a little generosity.

“By the way, does this barbarian really sleep without knowing the world?”

“Be quiet and then you might wake up.”

“Let me sleep well. Isn’t it an expensive body? You should rest now.”

There was a sound that I just couldn’t get past.

Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Now it was clear that the baby barbarian was sleeping among the hyena-like explorers.
