Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Feeling the unique taste of the potion left on the tip of her tongue, Mischa Karlstein opened her eyes.

The first thing I saw was Abman.

“……What happened? Did you win?”

As soon as Misha opened her eyes, she asked and recalled her memories.

The memory wasn’t perfect.

It was intermittently cut off.

[Protect Raven!!]

A corpse collector who turns into a skeleton and attacks.

I couldn’t stand him even once and fell out.

And…

Quaang! Quaang!

I opened my eyes after hearing a sound like thunder, and Bjorn was on the ground struggling to protect us.

That was my last memory.

“I don’t know if I won, but at least I’m safe for now. All the enemies are gone.”

“Really? Fortunately. But who died…?”

“…….”

Abman frowned.

As if there are dead people.

Did you just want to look into your own eyes?

Abman spoke quickly.

“Oh, don’t think strange. Our team all survived. It’s the fairies who died.”

“fairy……?”

My heart fluttered at those words.

“Could it be Erwen?”

Erwen Fornacci di Tercia.

It was not possible to say that it was a good relationship even if it was wrapped in amman, but sadness is conveyed from the depths of the heart.

“No, it was the older sister who died. In the end, she hugged her younger sister and protected her from the explosion.”

“…Then what about Erwen?”

“They said that if it was a bit late, they would have died together. I don’t know if it’s correct to say that it’s fortunate, but I’m unconscious right now. I’m worried if I’ll be able to keep my sanity when I wake up.”

“That’s right…”

Misha also heard the state of the rest of her colleagues.

Raven also lost consciousness, and Einar, who woke up a little earlier, went to Bjorn?

“You don’t go. I tried to stay by your side too, but the priestess kicked me out because I was in the way…

Misha asked Abman for directions and moved there.

After the battle, the goblin forest was very bright with flames rising from everywhere.

trudge trudge.

Misha walked and walked among the explorers.

I saw an explorer sitting on the bare floor and resting, and I saw an explorer crying.

Some gleefully gulped their drink with bloody hands, while others were busy carrying legions of motionless corpses and throwing them into the flames.

“Oh! It’s the Yandel team’s cat girl!”

As she was walking quietly, explorers started talking to her.

“Are you going to see Yandel? He’ll be over there.”

“Hmm, I guess I’d better not go.”

“Yeah, since I’m a colleague, I’m sure you’re worried.”

They all said something significant.

On the other hand, there were also those who spoke lightly.

“Oh, don’t worry. Could it be that he has to die?”

“Yandel’s son Bjorn is immortal!!”

“I heard you killed half of the corpse collectors this time too? I heard that you would have won if it wasn’t for the Destructionist. If you go out, you’ll be very famous.”

Explorers who acknowledge Bjorn’s greatness.

As such, Misha’s steps became faster.

Soon a tent came out.

A number of other explorers gathered in front.

“Ah, Miss Carlstein is here too.”

The first thing I saw was Einar, who was arguing in front of Kyle Pevrosk.

“Please forgive me for sitting down and being beaten. In fact, even staying awake is overdoing it.”

“Why won’t you let me in!”

“Didn’t I tell you. The priestess is also risking her life to save her? So, lower your voice. If you really want to help him.”

“but……!”

“Stop Einar!”

Misha quickly approached and stopped Einar.

Whatever it was, I was certain that it wouldn’t help.

“Mi Misha! Are you awake!”

Einar welcomed her, but Misha asked Kyle how Bjorn was.

It was terrifying just to hear.

Did you say poison was sprayed all over your face and your eyes and everything melted?

“The poison seems to have melted the bones and flowed a little into the brain.”

I was out of breath.

I felt dizzy and the world moved dizzy as if I had been drinking.

It was then.

“……You can come in now.”

The priestess came out of the tent with a pale complexion.

Misha went inside without saying thank you.

“Bjorn…….”

I saw him sleeping on a makeshift bed with several sleeping bags on top of each other.

Outwardly, it looked fine.

There are burn-like scars on his face, but at least there are no places that look serious.

“The scars will gradually heal over time. Until then, my strength wasn’t enough…….”

“Really……. Thank you…”

“No. This guy. Compared to what you’ve done, what else have I done? Anyway, I have to rest, so I’m done…” The

priestess left and Misha knelt down next to Bjorn.

and stroked his face

For some reason, it reminded me of the time when I was being chased by the layer lord on the third floor.

But back then it was completely different.

At that time, I was sleeping peacefully, as if I had finished all the things I had to do.

Seeing that, she thought he was a hero.

It was the same after that.

Bjorn has done a lot of things and has been recognized by new people that much.

Deep down, there were times when I was proud of that.

But…

“Why so…”

What about his face now?

It looks sad and distressed.

It seemed like he was blaming himself.

Kwak.

Mischa clenched her fists at the end of her words.

I think I know the reason for that expression.

no i couldn’t know

Because he’s a man I’ve been watching for a long time.

‘Erwen…….’

He must have thought it was because of him.

Squeak.

Misha removed her hand from Bjorn’s body.

Even though he wasn’t even conscious, whenever his skin touched his hand, his body flinched as if it were starting a game.

because of how hard it was.

Could this steely man be like this?

“Now…”

Misha closed her eyes and prayed fervently.

In the meantime, God has never heard my prayer, but I still prayed and prayed with my hands together.

Please don’t let this man get recognized.

***

When I opened my eyes, the whole team was gathered.

As we were greeting each other for a while, the priestess came in and checked her physical condition.

The front looks good too.

The sense of smell is also normal.

But my body doesn’t move well.

The senses are alive, but the strength in the arms and legs is not properly applied, and if force is applied, they tremble.

“It’s a common phenomenon when the brain is injured. If you take it for a month, you’ll be fine.”

“I see. Thank you.”

“No. Now that you’re awake, I’ll bring Pevrosk.”

While the priestess left to pick up Kyle, I told my colleagues about the situation after I collapsed.

Didn’t they say there was less than an hour left before the 7th car ended?

“There was no raid?”

“None.”

It is said that the Annihilator and the Clown who returned alive did not return while I was unconscious.

Well, what are they going to do with each other?

It will take time to recover, and since all the corpses left behind by the clown were burned, the quantity is also pushed back.

It is also difficult to call support.

It takes a day just to go up to the third floor here.

It takes two days just to go up and come back.

‘In the first place, if the bastard’s personality is that of a ruinist, he’ll say he won’t go even if the clown insists on it. Aren’t you the type to act out of vengeance?’

no wait.

As I was talking with my colleagues, I remembered something I had forgotten.

Why didn’t I remember this until now?

“Ah! Erwen What happened to Erwen?”

As I hurriedly asked, a moment of silence came.

Colleagues staring at me with firm expressions.

“Yes, he is dead.”

“No, the one who died is the sister’s side.”

“Are you on your sister’s side?”

I heard the details of Mr. Bear.

A short story about sacrificing himself on behalf of his brother by using a short-range teleportation skill right before he exploded.

The weight of death touches me again.

It was a light and light world indeed.

“…….”

It happened at the moment when I was really sorry.

No one could stop it, and Daria couldn’t even leave a will at the moment of her death.

You did a good job putting it in advance.

“Where is Erwen now?”

“……I’m right there.”

“The seat?”

“Yes. That place.”

I thought I should go.

That’s why the moment I try to get up, my body leans.

“Give me your arm.”

Eventually, with the help of Mr. Bear, he managed to leave the tent.

Just in time, Kyle was there.

“You’re up.”

While talking with Kyle, I slowly moved to the place where the battle took place.

“There are so many people, what happened?”

“These are the ones who came up after the battle. There are about a thousand people combined in four groups.”

“A thousand people…?”

“Didn’t we leave a mark along the way? As soon as the personnel were packed, they followed us eastward and followed it all the way.”

I see.

come a little earlier

If so…

‘What are you thinking about?’

I continued walking, shaking off my regret and resentment.

What do you do by blaming the past?

“Oh, it’s Yandel’s son, Bjorn!!”

As I was walking with Kyle, explorers who recognized me approached and started talking to me.

Let’s go out and have a drink later.

I’m the leader of a clan, so I’ll make sure to repay the debt.

Someone thanked me, saying that they would be the first to come to me in case of trouble.

But there were no words of comfort among them.

“…Don’t look too badly. Isn’t there a saying that heroes cannot be comforted?”

I don’t know if such a proverb existed in this world.

but it doesn’t look bad

Because they made a lot of sacrifices.

It’s hard, so I’m laughing and talking about what I can.

“Mister……”

When we arrived at our destination, we saw Erwen.

She was sitting on her knees, hugging her sister’s body, which had been burned and hardened here and there. His face was full of blood and stains from something spilling over the soup.

“Come here.”

Erwen shook his head.

“It’s time to go down in a little while. Are you going to be left here alone?”

“Alone… no.”

After removing his arm from Abman, he staggered towards Erwen.

And hit me on the back

“Listen to me. I am your protector now.”

“……yes?”

I talked about the will I heard from Daraa.

It wasn’t a long story.

The woman said that if she died, she would take care of her brother.

By the way, it was something she said to me before she even escaped through the portal in the royal family, but maybe she had a hunch.

That something like this could happen.

“mister…… Sister, sister…! don’t move anymore I can’t speak. It’s cold and hard. I haven’t been able to do anything yet…”

Soon after, Erwen hugged me tightly.

“What do you say to your younger sister about this? After your mother, your sister died? Is that because of me?”

I stood still and heard the words vomit.

I didn’t say anything comforting, saying that it wasn’t because of you or that it was the woman’s choice.

I just waited until the end.

How long has passed since then

? .”

It’s time to go down to the first floor.

I and Erwen collected my sister’s body.

It’s better than Dwalki’s.

At least for now, there are wizards who can use ‘Distortion’ magic.

Funerals can be held in the city. ” Let

‘s go home.”

I led Erwen back to the place where the team was. Misha and Einar, who were not on good terms, didn’t say anything. Or rather, I wanted to comfort them, but I couldn’t get close to them for fear of hurting them

.

‘This is the first time Einar has done that.’

Soon, in the center of the Goblin Forest, Chuuri stood in front of the portal

[ 23:50]

The clock pointed to the end of the long journey. ”

Let’s

go back!!”

I went down to the first floor. Although Bezac is scary, he won’t come out in 10 minutes.

“Yandel! Then see you in the city!”

“You remember my name? I’ll see you again.”

The explorers in front of me also entered the portal, and then it was our turn.

“We entered the crystal cave on the first floor.”

The cave has a more eerie atmosphere than before.

Then, move forward so that other explorers can come down. [23:59]

There is only one minute left until the labyrinth closes.

I can’t believe it.

Is it really the end?

Excited!

Yes, it must be the end. It’s only 1 minute, but what can I do

even if

Berzac pops out? ”

Damn

the royal family

bastards

.

” Even if you go back, don’t say anything strange.”

I warned the team members not to curse at the royal family in front of people.

It was at that time.

「The labyrinth has been closed.」

「The character moves to Lapdonia.

」 It starts to creep in.

The light outside I’ve been waiting for so much.

Pounding!

Eventually, the light disappears and the clear sky comes into view.

I blankly glanced around.

“They’re really dead.” The dimensional plaza

, which was always crowded, was unprecedented.

How

much

was it dead

?

Bastards to eat!”

The center of the plaza where the dimension gate opens.

Hundreds of dimension gates open there, and the people who abandoned us are revealing themselves one by one. They

were all the same at that time.

Even if you come out of the dimension gate, the time to come out is the same. ‘Those guys can’t even imagine what we’ve been through.

‘

At that moment,

a huge magic

circle appeared in the center

of the plaza where

the dimension gate was opened

.

That’ happened in an instant.

The

bewildered knights and the elites of the clan.

The explorers who sensed something foreign and swiftly opened the distance.

And…….

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!!

explosion.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The flame in the wind pushed me up and

pushed me

on the floor

.

[Congratulations. For being the only victor.]

These were the last words of the Ruinist to me.
