Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The rain of black spheres wasn’t enough, and as I clung to the body, he lost his balance and fell forward.

Whoop-!

Again, a cloud of dust blooming.

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!]

“Behel—laaaaaaaa!!”

In the chaos of chaos, hit the back of the head with a hammer, grab the ankle, lift it up, and slam it back to the floor. I did my best to keep him from waking up.

“What, what kind of fight is this… … .”

“Armin, can we help?”

“Let’s watch first… … .”

How long has it been since you fought like that?

「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia cast [Concentrated Fire].」

Erwen’s arrow is sprayed with strong light.

It means that 1 minute has passed since the [Chaos Circuit] was activated and [Concentrated Fire] was fully charged.

—————!

Arrows are shot and the whole world is dyed white.

and… … .

[………!!]

The center of the giant’s head.

A large hole was formed as the light penetrated the area that would have been between the eyebrows if it were a human.

“… Did you do it?”

However, he did not feel complacent like the explorers who watched from a distance.

Aren’t you the one who doesn’t even know the passive yet?

Among the monsters, there were tough guys who survived even if their heads were cut off—.

“Ooh, it moves… … !”

Huh, yes, somehow it seemed like that.

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!]

Soon, the guy with the hole in his head let out a roar in pain and crouched down on the floor.

The same posture you were sleeping in when I first saw you earlier.

Thanks to that, I learned a new skill.

Unfortunately, there is no information about the passive… …

「Hipramagent cast [Crouch].」

I hope you have this skill.

I hurriedly gave the order.

“Stop attacking!”

The reason is simple.

In this situation, if we lose, it’s our loss.

「Increases all resistance values ​​by 20 times for 3 minutes.」

「Increases natural regeneration by 20 times for 3 minutes.」

「In proportion to the amount of damage absorbed while crouching, all stats are greatly increased until the end of the battle.」

A skill that is virtually invincible.

It is one of the active skills that ogres have, and it is the one that makes ogre raiding the most difficult.

However, there is a fatal flaw for tankers to use.

There is no doubt that [Crouch] is an S-class survival skill, but… … .

When the tanker fell asleep and woke up, there was no way his comrades would remain.

Of course, it was an exception for monsters.

One minute, two minutes… … .

As time passes, new flesh fills the hole in the head.

And at exactly 3 minutes.

He slowly raised his crouched body.

All of the visible trauma has already been regenerated.

[Uhhh… … !!]

Soon after waking up, the boy made another move to run away.

but… … .

‘There’s no way.’

Shackles placed around the ankles while crouching.

The restraints of supernatural magicians and wizards.

And when he was repeatedly blocked by my active interference, he also changed his resolve.

Aaaaaang-!

The Hipra Maggent gives up on escaping and rushes in like you’re dead or I’m dead.

Only then did it become similar to a normal raid.

When fighting, the ‘threat’ value is applied well, and the aggro is properly fixed to me.

“Attack!”

Dozens of explorers began diligently putting deals in each formation, and he counterattacked using various active skills.

“Hipramagent cast [Roar of the End].”

“Hipramagent cast [Gravity Field].”

A wide range of dealing and CC skills written in the village chief’s book.

There was no damage from this skill as he had prepared a countermeasure in advance.

Whoops-!

The meteorites falling from the sky are guarded by wizards.

The aura [gravity field], which pulls enemies within a range with a certain probability, minimizes damage by giving top priority to all explorers whenever they are pulled.

“Mul Armin has cast [Sensitive Skin].”

“The damage the target receives is increased by 30%.”

“Jackson Zanville has cast [Moving Target].”

「When attacking a moving target, the next attack deals 3x damage.」

「Noir Mervoch casts [Precision Shot]… … .”

「…….」

After over 10 minutes of fighting with dozens of people, the giant brought out a new skill.

However, it’s not passive this time either… … .

“Hipramagent cast [Body Compression].”

It was a transformer.

Unlike [Giantization], it is a 3rd grade skill that reduces the size by half, and additionally compensates in proportion to the size.

‘Even with that on, he’s taller than me.’

It was not too difficult to deal with because it was a skill that I had experimented with while using it in conjunction with [Giantness].

“Stop attacking!”

Just don’t make opponents.

Unlike [Giantness], that skill has a fixed duration.

Aaaaaang-!

The giant’s fist, twice as strong and faster than before.

However, I dealt with him alone, leaving behind all the melee types that eased the burden on my side.

Kwajik-!

Every time I was hit by one blow, my bones were broken… … .

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Because there is a healer in our expedition right now.

One priest and one healer.

The intensive care of the two comes in, and the effect of the special ability ‘restoration’ is linked to the heel popping effect, so even if the body is smashed in real time, it recovers quickly.

Well, sharp pain is another thing, though.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

This is just an evil, stop if you hold on to it.

“[Body Compression] is canceled.”

As time passed, [body compression], which could be seen as a kind of wide-width pattern, ended, and his body returned to its original state.

So, once again, the melee dealers came forward and dealt hard.

coo-!

Soon, one ankle was completely shattered and the giant knelt down, and from then on, melee dealers also targeted his vitals.

A giant who has become a man-in-the-middle.

“Almost done!”

“Be vigilant until the end!”

As the victory clearly declined, the expedition members seemed to be confident of victory, but I was nervous.

Well, it’s already been 25 minutes.

‘The cooldown for [Crouch] was 30 minutes.’

In just five minutes, he’ll use [Crouch] again.

Then I have to do this one more time… … .

In fact, at that point, the raid should be considered a failure.

As much as I spent sparingly on my MP this time, it will take a much longer time until I lose all my HP again.

‘I know I can’t catch it if I don’t have enough deals, so the next time I try, I’ll definitely catch it then… … .’

It’s a pity that it failed like this.

Is it time to take it out too?

The contemplation was short, and the decision was quicker than that.

“Misha! Emily! A combination!”

Unfortunately, the two people currently competing for the 1st and 2nd place in melee DPS on our team did not understand what I was saying.

“… … Yes? Ha, a combination?”

Misha was taken aback with longswords in both hands, and Amelia looked at her from afar as if she was talking nonsense.

Oh, if you pretend, you have to pretend and understand.

“It’s okay, so come here!”

However, once called, he stopped what he was doing and ran to me.

So, rather than explain, I moved to action.

Because you can’t hold anything new while holding something in your hand.

First, I threw away the hammer and shield I was holding.

“Yes?”

“What are you doing… … !”

I grabbed Misha and Amelia’s waist with my free hand.

and… … .

Swoop.

Hold Misha and Amelia as if holding swords in both hands and pose.

It’s called Barbarian Samurai Mode.

“Yandel… you can’t… … !”

Amelia seemed to have realized what I was trying to do.

“Just turn it on. I will take care of the rest.”

“Stop it! What nonsense—!”

“Misha, you’re holding a knife well, too.”

“huh? Oh, okay!”

Okay, so I guess you got permission.

I wielded the Misha Sword and the Amelia Sword in earnest.

So what’s the reason these guys couldn’t land a critical hit?

It was because the giant was so big that he stabbed the bottom.

but… … .

‘This will change the story.’

Pooh-!

The Amelia Sword in her right hand burrowed deep into the giant’s skin. The dagger itself was short, but it didn’t matter because the aura was long.

In the first place, it wasn’t just one sword.

Slow-!

The Mischa sword in my left hand scratches the giant’s neck and passes by.

It had less cutting power than Amelia’s sword, but Mischa’s sword had other advantages.

Misha has a freezing attribute.

Crackling—

A cold film of ice sprouts along the wound.

Hitting the same area once more breaks the ice barrier and widens the wound.

He didn’t even budge when I hit him with a hammer earlier.

‘this… Dealer’s feelings… … ?’

Something hot rises from under the danjeon.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

I screamed impatiently and swung the sword in both hands.

Then, all of a sudden, I had an idea.

No, wait.

Misha is a double sword, and Amelia is a double dagger… … .

“Apostle… … ?”

As I muttered that, for some reason, Amelia Sword showed me her murderous intent.

“… … I will kill you.”

Chit, was it a cursed sword?

Even though she was worried about the future, Amelia steadily turned on her aura according to the timing of my swing, and even if I got close to her, she moved her left and right arms and swung the dagger diligently.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes… … .

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .]

As time passed, the giant who was hacked mainly to the neck and heart finally came.

Whoops-!

It groaned and fell to the ground.

About 40 seconds left until [Crouch] cooldown.

Swoop.

The car was about to swing the Amelia Sword to finish it in a hurry.

“… … Why did you stop?”

When I stopped my outstretched hand, Amelia let out a question.

I didn’t answer.

“…….”

When I thought that all I had to do was catch it, I suddenly had that thought.

There are two types of monsters on the first basement floor.

A normal monster that gives magic stones and essence.

And special monsters that leave corpses when killed.

Hypramagent is a monster that belongs to the latter category.

but… … .

‘Monsters that give manastones and essences have a certain probability of leaving a corpse when distortion magic is applied.’

For your reference, wizards can’t explain the principles of ‘distortion’ magic in detail.

Even in ancient times, when a flint was struck, it caught fire.

It just exploits the phenomenon without yet fully understanding it.

So, I suddenly became curious.

‘What if I cast distortion magic on the guy whose corpse remains.’

It was considered worthwhile to try once.

Anyway, isn’t the situation where the corpse has already obtained a lot of specimens?

“Versil, use distortion magic!”

Soon after he urgently gave the order, a transparent film covered the giant’s body.

As soon as I confirmed this, I wielded the Amelia Sword and the Mischa Sword at the same time.

Pooh-!

The moment the four swords dug in at the same time, the giant’s body, which had been breathing heavily, drooped.

and… … .

Shaa-

The giant’s body turned into a cloud of light and fluttered.

***

「You have defeated Hipramagent.」

「No.9999 Beginner’s Luck has been activated.」

***

Shortly after Hipramagent’s huge body turned into light and disappeared.

The sense of experience gained did not bloom.

Something falls out of empty space.

Took.

A huge magic stone the size of a fist.

But no one paid any attention to it.

What is the importance of magic stones?

“… Jeongsu-kun.”

“Integer… … !”

Essence dropped.

Could it be that beginner’s luck was activated?

I was just trying to confirm whether or not the corpse disappears, but I never thought I’d get the essence.

“Everyone get out of here!!!!!”

As I shrieked, the melee warriors who had discovered the essence and seemed possessed flinched back.

“Oh, no, I just wanted to take a look… … .”

“It’s okay, get out of here!”

Thanks to the strong shout, the area around the essence was completely emptied in an instant. So I calmed down a bit and calmly organized my thoughts.

It was welcome that the integers appeared, but there was a part that was a little disappointing.

‘Green… no… … .’

Oak Hero’s [Giant] Essence was green, so it’s highly likely that it’s not the [Giant] Essence.

‘If it’s ultramarine… I think it’s [crouching].’

what to do with this

Do you think about putting it in a test tube?

‘Jjeok, I think it’ll be okay if I feed Einar… … . I don’t know what a passive is, so it’s like feeding it.’

I’m a little worried.

[Crouch] itself is very suitable for Einar.

Barbarian warriors’ chronic problem of survivability can be filled with this skill… … .

‘If you feed Einar, you will be able to experiment to some extent on what the passive is and how many basic stats are attached to the essence… … .’

If you take the 9th level of immortal imprint, you can link it.

In that sense, if you’re going to feed Einar, it’s better to feed it now because you can save the cost of the test tube… … .

After, what do you really do?

“Einar!”

“huh?”

“Do you want this essence?”

I checked with the doctor first, but as expected, an immediate answer came back.

“… Go, I want it!!!”

“You still don’t know what embodied ability is and what your basic stats are?”

“Yeah, it’s okay!!”

but… … . If your passive and stats are bad, you can delete them from the temple later.

In the first place, there are things that are roughly expected in the passive.

“Okay, take this for you.”

“I-really!!”

“Will everyone have any complaints?”

I asked while looking at the Armin Exploration Team, who had a 30% stake in the loot, but Mule Armin did not express any dissatisfaction.

“Priority is given to the baron.”

“I’m glad that’s the case.”

“Even if it weren’t for that, it would be the same.”

“huh?”

“… Because we are not that shameless.”

Why did he suddenly lose his self-esteem so much?

I don’t know, but since the owner of the essence has been decided, there’s no reason to procrastinate.

“Bjorn… … . Can I eat it now… … ?”

“Yes, eat.”

As soon as I nodded, Einar rushed in with a very excited look and absorbed the essence.

「The [Hipramagent Essence] permeates the soul of Einar Pnellin.」

That’s how Einar Pnellin learned [Crouch].
