Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Raven cast light sphere magic.

“Reite.”

I reflexively closed my eyes before being blinded.

Raven asked me.

“Mr. Yandel, what are you doing now?”

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a sphere of light emitting a faint and subtle glow unlike usual.

It’s also possible to adjust the brightness.

“It is nothing.”

Leaving behind her embarrassment, Raven scolded her.

“Anyway, if you’re going to do something like this, please tell me in advance. I was surprised.”

“That’s right. What would you do if you went out and got caught by the guards?”

“You’ll have to pay a fine or something.”

“I don’t think I’m going to pay for it with public money—”

“It was for the team.”

When I cut it off, Raven let out a deep sigh. But he didn’t say anything there.

It’s not that I’m wrong at all.

It’s not like that’s what’s important right now.

“Isn’t it strange? A dark area from the beginning.”

“It’s not just the Dark Zone. Can you see it over there?”

At Mr. Bear’s muttering, Raven pointed to the tombstone on one side of the wall.

Now it’s time to get into the main topic.

“It’s a class monument. Do you know what happened to this?”

“I think it’s a dimensional instability phenomenon.”

“……What is that?”

“After all, portals are also a type of dimensional magic, right? I heard that sometimes this happens. An error occurs when entering the starting coordinates.”

“…Then is it just a coincidence?”

“Well, there are observational records that the possibility of dimensional instability increases right before the portal is destroyed.”

Uh, that sounds like a book I read.

My mouth was itching for some reason, but I just shut up.

He’ll explain everything on his own anyway, so there’s no need to step out and raise doubts.

“Bjorn was then…”

I winked at him and Misha kept his mouth shut.

Then, in preparation for a possible slip of the tongue, he approached Einar.

OK, so this part is over.

“Hmm, so you’re saying that the cause is that we barely entered?”

The corners of Mr. Bear’s mouth rose slightly.

Like an explorer, he realized the fraudulent nature of the experience copying bug.

However, Raven shook his head.

“That’s a little vague.”

huh? what the hell

I impatiently joined the conversation.

“What do you mean vague?”

“No matter how many times an error occurs in entering the coordinates, there is no way to fall to the outermost part like this.

oh well it’s not like that

Actually, I was also wondering about this part.

Dimensional instability is surprisingly well known to many people. But why is no one using this honey bug?

“Dimensional instability was known properly 130 years ago. At that time, a big problem occurred in the dimensional magic circle, and the frequency increased exponentially.”

“so?”

“I received a request from the royal family at the Magic Tower and repaired the dimensional magic circle. After the stabilization work was completed, there was almost no instability again.”

Simply put, it means that even if you entered late for a hundred years, you could not use the experience copy bug.

“Then what happened to this now?”

“…Doesn’t that mean it’s time for repairs again?”

Having come up with a plausible guess, Raven cautiously added a suggestion.

“So, let’s keep things a secret today.”

“More details.”

“I don’t think anyone knows that there is a problem with the dimensional magic circle right now.

Mr. Bear, who had been listening quietly, nodded.

“Until then, we’re the only ones who know and use it.”

“Yes. How good is it to reduce the exploration time and increase the public value?”

I snuck in.

“Wait, isn’t the magician’s public value meaningless?”

Wizards cannot eat essence. So, even if you eat experience, it is useless.

But why are you so active?

Raven smiled and replied.

“Personally, I’m interested in it. The same goes for the tombstones that haven’t been touched yet. In that sense, can I open them?”

“do whatever you want.”

After my permission was given, Raven touched the tombstone.

Whoa-!

A portal that opens with a radiance of five colors.

Raven closed her eyes as if concentrating on the sensations at her fingertips and the flow of magic power in the air.

and sang it briefly.

“It’s a very strange feeling.”

As a barbarian with zero magic talent, it was a sensation that I would never know.

However, even in such a country, I felt one thing for sure.

「You opened the portal for the first time. EXP +2」

It’s big.

This feeling of eating raw.

***

“You have entered the 2nd floor beast’s den.”

“You have entered the 1st floor crystal cave

.

”

Yes, the beast’s den is us, so there is no answer.

Because there are so many forks in the road, unless you are a explorer like Rottiller, you will only delay time.

‘Even Rotmiller said it would be better to just give up on the beast’s den.’

There is a guide, so you won’t be able to find your way at all.

But it’s faster to go the other way, so there’s no reason to go through this place.

“Then we will move slowly.”

I took out my compass and held it in one hand to find my way.

Once out of the shadows, we then proceeded in a northwesterly direction.

There weren’t too many things to do on the road.

Still, I had properly learned how to find my way on the first floor from Rotmiller.

Of course, I’m still immature, but…

“Where is the Abman portal located?”

“It’s over there.”

“Then, from now on, we can only go north.”

Thanks to the guide in the team, it is possible to follow the optimal route with just a compass.

In other words, he is making up for his lack of skills with cheat keys.

It was about three hours after entering the labyrinth.

“stop.”

The first person appeared on our route from outskirts to outskirts.

A group of knights with the royal family crest engraved on their chests and four soldiers.

“Do you have dog tags?”

The article who stopped us asked briefly.

No matter how many battles they have already fought, their weapons and armor are stained with blood.

It’s not monster blood.

Because there are no monsters on the first floor that shed red blood.

“Finally, I ask you. What about dog tags?”

“Ah, here it is.

Even though they hesitated at the intimidation of the article, everyone took out the identification tags they received from the city and showed them.

Then the knight opened the road that was blocking.

While giving you one piece of advice.

“Be careful not to get stolen. Some of them seem to be on the lookout for dog tags already.”

yes that’s right

Well, they must have realized that they’re not stupid and that’s the only way to live.

I passed by and asked a question.

“Is there any way to distinguish the stolen dog tag?”

“None.”

“Then why aren’t we suspicious?”

Did my question bother you a bit?

The knight frowned slightly, but answered the question.

“blood.”

“……?”

“If it was stolen, it would have been stained with human blood. Above all, I know your face.”

huh?

“I am a knight of Count Ferdehild.”

Oh, you saw me at the banquet.

Anyway, I don’t know what the Count is doing.

At that time, he said something meaningful that he would call me separately when he was ready, but he has not contacted me yet.

What am I supposed to say, no news is good news.

“Hmm, isn’t it comfortable to hang out with a celebrity?”

“Don’t tease me.”

“Yes? You’re not kidding me?”

Huh, he really thinks I’m a barbarian.

“Do you lower the corner of your mouth?”

“……Really quick to notice.”

“Anyway, from now on, I’ll speed up a bit. If it’s difficult, tell me.”

“What would you do if I told you?”

“Einar will carry you.”

“Eh? Me?”

Einar and Raven didn’t like it, but they couldn’t help it. Go up as quickly as possible so you don’t run into fewer people.

“……Einar-san, please carry it.”

Maybe 30 minutes of speeding up?

The corner wizard Raven lost face and chose to be carried on his back.

It’s a bonus that the speed has increased thanks to it.

Raven massaged Einar’s body here and there, probably bored with only his tongue on his back.

“Don’t touch me!”

“Wow, Einar-san, your body is softer than I thought, right?”

“…Are you kidding me! If that’s the case, get off!”

Einar, who trembled and hated it.

I was about to warn Raven, but I stopped when I saw something blocking my way.

“Why did you stop Bjorn?”

“It’s a corpse.”

There were five corpses in total.

four men and one woman.

It seemed that the equipment had been stripped off, and it was almost bare-bones, and looking at the bleeding, it seemed that quite a bit of time had passed.

“Could you drop me off, Mr. Einar?”

Raven also got off the mount and inspected the corpse.

“It doesn’t look like you were hit by a knight.”

“The basis?”

“Wounds. One with a blunt weapon, one with an arrow. And the rest were burned. I don’t think it’s magic, but it must be superpowers.”

A knight uses a sword.

It’s because it’s the best weapon to use Aura.

But there are no sword statues…

“Maybe it was Noark’s explorer? Another explorer got rid of it after seeing that there was no dog tag.”

At Misha’s words, Raven smiled bitterly.

“Maybe it’s the other way around.”

“Opposite lining?”

Mr. Bear answered.

“You mentioned the article I met earlier. There is a possibility that he was aiming for another explorer to get a dog tag.”

“Ah…”

“Besides, I made the face unrecognizable. Normally, wouldn’t that be necessary?”

Of course, we don’t know what the truth will be.

Only this corpse alerted us all. Isn’t he also an explorer who reached the outside of the first floor at this early time?

He must have been an explorer capable of speedrunning.

However, a few hours before the labyrinth opened, he died on the first floor in this form.

“……You must be really nervous?”

“Looking at Yandel, these guys seem to have gone to the Goblin Forest too. Wouldn’t it be better to go somewhere else?”

“The other side won’t make a difference.”

“Huh, that’s true too.”

In the end, we made our way to the Goblin Forest without any change in schedule.

How long has it been since then?

We reached the 2nd floor portal.

[06 : 47]

A time period so fast that it cannot be compared to the previous exploration. Even compared to the time attack with Rotmiller, there is only a 30-minute difference.

“Is it okay for Mr. Yandel to become a real explorer now?”

“Nyahat Barbarian Explorer. No one will believe it even if I tell it!”

“Bjorn is the barbarian’s hope!”

Everyone checked the time and showered me with compliments, but in fact, it’s hard to see it as my

ability

. “… Okay,

let’s go upstairs.”

I

briefly dismissed it and stood in front of the portal.

”

You’re shy.

”

「You have entered the Goblin Forest on the 2nd floor.」

「You have entered the Pilgrim’s Path on the 3rd floor.」 「You

have entered the Tower of the Sky on the 4th floor

.

」

Fast time.

We reached the 4th floor

.

The result of combining my guide ability with my guide ability.

In fact, I rarely encountered explorers during the expedition. Two large-scale clans and a team of 5 people were about 10 teams?

All with weapons pointed at each other. After checking the dog tag from a distance, we

parted ways.

After that, the atmosphere of the real labyrinth became bloody.

” Raven results?

”

Really, what are you doing because of those bastards?’

The more I think about it, the more I get irritated, but what can I do?

As the current situation is the current situation, we just have to be careful on our own.

“I chose the stairs of wisdom.”

First, of course, I chose the gateway to wisdom.

A maze full of traps and monsters. .I

received the most training from Rotmiller in this part, so my clear time was reduced by about 40 minutes.

“How long did Raven take?” “1

hour and 58 minutes .” “

I

chose the stairs of wisdom.”

“I chose the stairs of wisdom.” “I chose the stairs of

wisdom.” “I

chose the stairs of courage.”

“I chose the stairs of wisdom.

” I chose the stairs of “.”

After that, I continued to overcome the ordeal and focus on raising the number of floors.

And

the time when the 7th day was about to end.

Successfully clearing the task. A speed that would have never been possible if the Stairs of Wisdom did not appear in succession. “It’s a bit

early, but I’ll rest a little earlier today.”

I prepared for the camp. ”

What are you going to do with the

night

watch

?

” Well, even if someone is hiding, the vigil doesn’t have any meaning. The detection magic doesn’t work, so what should be changed?” “That’s

exactly what I was trying to say.” “Then,

shall we eat before bed?

”

After cooking and eating, everyone went to their seats and lay down. A

comfortable bed that can only be felt on the 4th floor.

Well, it should have been that way…

‘Nimiral.’

I can’t sleep easily, perhaps because of the masked man incident. After all

, I was able to close my eyes only

after tossing and turning for a long time.

Even then, I had to wake up.

Hard-! I

hurriedly stood up.

There

is only one reason for this phenomenon to occur in the labyrinth.

“Mr. Yandel, this phenomenon can’t be…

”

A crack opened on the fourth floor.
