Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Actually, it is not a good item.

You can definitely get numbers over 35, but once you get there, you’ll have to shell out 1.5 billion stones.

‘Benefit only when a single number drops.’

From the 10th to the 19th, if the ‘ten number’ comes out, you lose money.

More than 20 times is usually a loss.

However, there is a possibility that the necklace will burst during the reroll, and at that time, the word literally means devastating damage.

In other words, it is a high-risk gamble-type item… … .

“Bjorn… … ? Why are you not talking?”

I came to my senses as I saw Einar asking anxiously about something.

“if… Is it bad?”

No way.

Quite the opposite.

“Good job. Einar. After all, there is only you.”

She expressed her love from the bottom of her heart, but Ainar didn’t even listen.

“oh! Seeing you say that, that sounds like a good thing! So what is this shield?”

Oh, that.

Einar’s reaction was a bit disappointing, but it was a minor issue.

Oh, I almost ended up with a hell rake without any fuss.

Even if she frankly slashes her face with her fist for no reason, she is willing to go over it laughing up to three times.

And in that sense.

‘Let’s pick one quickly.’

Before any other variable occurred, I quickly took out the item contained in the necklace.

Shaaaaaaa-!

A group of colorful lights blooming as soon as you press the confirmation button.

Soon, the halo of light floating in the air gathers densely like clay and takes on a proper shape.

“The specified item has been created.”

No.3 Aegis barrier.

The in-game notation is The wall of Aegis.

Needless to say, Baba’s Graduation Shield.

‘Now I only need to use one shield, so is this the graduation of the shield…? … .’

Actually, what I expected was different.

No, to be precise, they were things that I had to stop when they came out in reality.

Like the graduation armor of the 10th division that I would wear.

Like the second graduation shield, the 21st shield.

The single number, which is the core of the freezing double-wielding swordsman.

If there was a ‘rift generator’ that was useful for farming, it was worth choosing while looking into the future, and even if it wasn’t, if Erwen and Amelia came up with a useful graduation weapon, they were willing to stop there.

but… … .

‘I never thought I’d really eat this.’

I still can’t tell if it’s a dream or real life.

“Due to the excessive concentration of magic power, the power of Garphas dwelling in the necklace has been permanently damaged.”

One of the number items has now turned into an ordinary necklace, but it was a minor fact.

I carefully lifted the gray shield.

「The character has worn the No.3 Aegis Barrier.」

「Overall item level increases by +18,600.」

This made me stronger.

A lot of it too.

***

The shield itself is far from flashy.

First of all, the color is gray, and the appearance does not have jewelry-like decorations.

But what does that mean?

As long as the shield is strong, it’s enough.

“This shield… A single number?”

“Wait… If it’s number 3, there are only two consolations… … . This is a great treasure!”

“Aegis barrier! To actually see the thing you’ve only heard about a long time ago!”

The colleagues who learned the identity of the shield murmured.

Unexpectedly, Amelia was the most excited among them.

“oh! Seeing everyone doing that, it must be a great treasure.”

“Tsk, not quite like that. The Aegis barrier has not appeared since an explorer died in the labyrinth 120 years ago.”

No, actually, it’s not surprising anymore.

Boy, I love this so much.

Should I say that I am a complete labyrinth fan?

“At this point, except for one thing the royal family has, Yandel, that guy is the end. By the way, according to the record, that shield has the property of never being destroyed… … .”

Perhaps wanting to show off her knowledge, Amelia took my place and explained the equipment options to everyone.

Well, the explanation itself was quite professional, but… … .

‘The information in this world always lacks accurate figures.’

As a die-hard gamer myself, this is unacceptable.

So, let’s get it right.

‘The highest level is indestructible.’

‘Immune to all damage when ‘guarding’ with a shield.’

‘Reduces all magical damage received by the user and allies bound within a 10m radius by 30%, and immunity to magic below level 5.’

‘Increases all defensive stats of the wearer by 20%.’

‘When using the Aura skill, the radius and effect are doubled.’

‘When the threat level is over 500, all monsters attack the wearer first.’

And finally.

‘There is only one active use effect.’

Ha, yes, at least this is the graduation equipment.

I just want to die because my heart is racing.

Should I say that I want to go out and fight with this right now?

My body is already itching, but unfortunately, I just put up with it because I told you that today is a holiday.

Yes, because it takes time to adapt.

‘It’s very light.’

Is it because the one I used before was ignorantly heavy?

It’s much heavier than a normal steel shield, but feels much lighter in comparison.

‘Then let’s try the hammer.’

She held the Demon Grinder in her free hand and checked the weight balance.

Because this place where I am is not just a simple game.

Even such a minor change out of sense and weight can lead to great frustration.

Whoo! Whoo-!

The time when I was waving my weapon in the air alone in a cave and adapting to the changed weight.

I had a sudden thought.

‘Somehow, I finished graduating from the weapons side.’

No.87 Kraul’s Demon Grinder and No.3 Aegis’ barrier.

In fact, with these two, there is nothing to look at when it comes to weapons.

There is still room for upgrades to the Demon Grinder, but since the return is small compared to the difficulty of obtaining it, you can consider graduating with the Demon Grinder.

‘All that’s left is armor, shoes, and a belt.’

If you look only at the core items that are the key to fostering, yes.

The creation treasure of the barbarians is also a core item, but that is something that can no longer be obtained.

That’s the part I can’t help but regret.

The reason why Shield Baba is a scam is that it includes the Noble Phantasm of Creation.

‘Anyway, I think I’m used to this… … .’

After getting used to the new equipment, I experimented with this and that.

I tried using the active effect, and checked the performance of the magic immunity aura attached to the shield.

and… … .

‘A radius of 10 m… … .’

I definitely learned the feeling of that 10m distance.

Judgment that there must be something that will play an important role.

After roughly such a process continued, I took a break for the rest of the time, and the top leaders gathered to discuss future exploration plans.

Well, actually, it was closer to notification than discussion.

“Baron, are you going to resume the exploration of Giant Island again from tomorrow?”

“No, this island is on hold for the time being.”

“yes?”

“I’ve been looking around and haven’t found anything yet.”

I understand that there is a secret hidden on the island of giants.

However, in the end, it seems that the secret can only be found out by catching the super-giant giant he saw then.

the problem is… … .

‘I haven’t seen it since I saw it then, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to win if I find it.’

“if… Where are you planning to go?”

“Our next destination is Library Island.”

“yes? iced coffee… You are referring to the island you were talking about then.”

“okay.”

First of all, I plan to go to that island and improve my specs.

At that time, I only hunted up to level 3 with the numerical limit of seven people, but now it’s a different story.

More than anything, I’m a little curious about what will happen over time.

‘At that time, I attacked almost all of the books below, so I wonder if it became a regen again?’

Well, you’ll know that when you go there.

As the meeting was about to end, Amelia questioned me.

“Yandel. So, is Hypramagent giving up?”

“I’m not giving up, I’m putting it on hold for the time being.”

“why? I remember coveting his essence.”

That’s right.

However, the distortion magic succeeds and the essence drops, and I don’t have the confidence that the essence will break through the triple probability of [giantization].

Above all, even if you break through that probability, the return is small right now.

‘Even if you think about it, it’s unlikely that the skill will overlap twice and be used.’

Hepramagent is an alternative Essence that is superior to the Orc Hero Essence.

And now I have two integers left.

Filling these two digits with other integers is much more helpful for increasing power.

It’s not like you can erase the Orc Hero Essence right away and eat it just because the Essence of Hepramagent comes out.

but… … .

“Hmm, that’s right. understood.”

In fact, this is just an additional reason, not the main one.

‘Since Erwen and Einar took care of them to some extent… … .’

I also need to upgrade the specs of the rest of my teammates.

It’s an integer digit. Doesn’t everyone have one left?

If you farm in the library, you will be able to fill it up thriftly.

Oh, including Amelia, of course.

‘That means he’s been stagnant for too long.’

“… … What kind of eyes are those?”

“nothing.”

I was just thinking.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to get out of here.

if that time comes

‘It must be fun.’

how strong are we?

***

After sharing the exploration plan, I had time to think about future development alone for the rest of the time.

What should I do in the future to become a bigger and stronger shield Baba? Prioritized and organized step-by-step.

There was only one thing that could be done on the first basement floor right now.

Eat Essence in the Library.

Note that there is only one target number.

Bellarios, a level 3 monster.

If you eat only that, the next growth is possible only after you succeed in escaping.

Replaced Orc Hero Essence with Hepramagent Essence.

Take the 9th level of the spirit imprint.

Go around the 8th floor rift and farm 2nd grade guardian essence and number items. Then, clearing the Stormgash Essence and farming the Hierarchy Essence.

Anything you can do at level 8 can only be tried after returning to the city.

Thus, the day designated as a holiday is over.

Day 75 car.

As soon as the day started, I came out of the cave.

Then head to the beach to move to Library Island.

The moment I was just about to summon a boat and float it in the right place.

Whii Iik-!

Suddenly, something flew quickly from the sea.

「Defense success.」

「The Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.」

Fortunately, I instinctively raised my shield to block it.

what else is this

“It’s a surprise… … !”

Leaving behind the crew members who were stunned by the sudden attack, I checked below.

I saw a red spear that had fallen helplessly on the sandy beach where silver waves came and went.

‘Shinrok Geochang… … ?’

what is this.

why is this

The question that bloomed in an instant did not last long.

「The Celestial Spearkeeper, Mylayel, cast [Recursion].」

In the distance, between the silvery waves that gradually receded, something appeared slowly walking up.

and… … .

「Milayel, the Celestial Spearman, retrieved the Verdant Green Spear.」

「The power of [Recursion] increases slightly until the battle ends.」

Picking up a spear that had fallen on the floor, he said to me.

[Don’t miss it, mortal.]

It was a line I heard over and over again the last time I ran away, but this time it felt different.

‘… Are you crazy?’

Did he cross the sea and follow you here?

***

Celestial Spearkeeper Milayel.

A Rift Guardian that appears in Calhaeum, the City of Light.

The moment he met him again in an unexpected place, the first feeling he felt was embarrassment.

After he calmed down a bit, he felt a different emotion.

pleasure.

and… … .

“Good.”

pleasure.

“I thought we’d never see each other again.”

[Don’t miss it, mortal.]

Seeing Milayel answer the same line without getting tired, I smiled.

‘What are you saying, I have no intention of running away now.’

At that time, Erwen was unable to fight.

Also, at the same time, the surroundings were full of monsters.

It wasn’t strange when and where level 2 or higher monsters appeared.

So he had to charge towards the shore with all his might.

but now it’s different

I don’t know if this stupid guy is aware of that fact.

The rainy season ended a long time ago.

And just in time, I even got a new shield.

yeah, so… … .

‘It wouldn’t be bad as a combat power meter.’

I shouted with all my might to the crew members who seemed to be waiting for instructions.

“Prepare for battle! Kill him here!”

Cancer, it’s not polite to kick a pumpkin that rolls in.
