Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

This number item, which is also a spear-type graduation weapon, is a weapon that properly mixes damage and tank balance.

The reason why I started researching Changbaba in the first place was because of the high survivability of this weapon.

‘But even so, it ended up being something like a berserker.’

Of course, the berserker class isn’t bad.

If there is a main tank of the same level in the team, it will pull out pretty good performance, and it is possible to perform the role of an auxiliary tank in a crisis situation.

but….

“Hmm…”

Even thinking about cancer is ambiguous.

“Everyone, clean up your surroundings.”

“yes?”

“We’ll be leaving soon!”

“Ah, ah… the old days!”

Everyone seemed to be wondering who the owner of that weapon would be, but they decided to continue their worries by launching the boat and leaving the island.

It’s not a matter of deciding anything like that.

“It’s departure!”

Soon, the boat with everyone on board starts moving through the silvery waves.

And how long has it been?

“mister! Look over there!”

In the center of the island, which is getting smaller and smaller, a huge giant stands up and roars ferociously at us.

[Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh–!]

…Why does he only do that when he goes out?

***

Until we arrived at our destination, Library Island, we continued to think deeply.

Who will you give this weapon to?

‘Oh, they met eyes again.’

While I was looking around to see if I could get an answer, my eyes crossed with a man.

He was a spearman of Clan Hex.

As he was the only professional soldier among these many people, he didn’t dare to say anything, but he could see that he had high hopes in his heart.

thus….

swish

He quickly turned his head.

Oh, you have to covet what you covet.

This weapon belongs to Clan Anavada.

It’s already been decided that way. Therefore, my only concern is deciding which of the members in my clan to give to.

‘For now, I don’t have to worry about Erwen or Versil.’

The same goes for Amelia and Misha.

Misha is already on the Freezing Dual Wield tree, and in Amelia’s case, she is not suitable for a spear to use an aura.

Auyen is not a combat class in the first place.

According to the method of elimination, there is only one Einar left…

“huh? Will you eat too?”

When our eyes met, Einar smiled and handed me the jerky he was holding dearly.

She took it well, chewed and swallowed, continuing her thoughts.

‘…At least, what about the one that can bring out the most spear performance?’

[Natural regeneration increases in proportion to the battle duration.]

[All healing effects are tripled.]

These two lines of options go well with the ‘battle learning’ and ‘predation’ of the ‘slayer’ imprint.

He also has natural regeneration skills like [Wings of Greed] and [Crouch], so if these are combined, he’ll have a monstrous recovery speed.

Changbaba, who I raised in the first place, also received the imprint of ‘slayer’ and filled up his skills with that feeling.

But the problem here is…

‘That I have to throw away some skills the moment I hold the spear.’

First of all, the 4th grade skill [Repeat Slash].

It’s not impossible to cast with a spear, but you can’t see the effect of increasing penetration damage.

[Wild Control], which converts conditional activation effects into ‘cutting power’, is also useless in a similar vein.

‘If [Repeat Slash] is not used, [Scars of Explosion] will be meaningless, and then it will become a skill without [Mandel Oil] or [Residual Heat].’

In fact, the moment you hold the spear, a disaster occurs in which you have to change the entire skill.

however….

‘Hey, except for the Hepramagent, are all of them below level 4?’

I felt like that out of the blue.

‘Since this happened, can’t we just change everything?’

[Dungeon and Stone] is a game where training is the main focus.

It is important to come up with the perfect final combination, but it is several times more important to design the character to grow until that final combination.

It’s impossible to grow a character until the final combination unless you prepare several necessary items and replaceable essences for each section.

It is important not to lose the concept of the character while raising the value of the skill step by step.

Steamed, steamed, steamed.

That was the reason why [Repeat Slash] was chosen as Einar’s core skill.

Isn’t it a 4th grade skill obtained in the beginning?

After setting the essence to utilize this, I wanted to change it to a higher compatible skill later.

however….

‘…it doesn’t make any sense at all.’

I have already grown as I have grown.

Erwen has established an unrivaled position by eating even the essence of the class, and Misha also returned after growing tremendously while traveling with Lee Baek-ho.

Amelia was just very strong from before.

To put it bluntly, the lack of Einar right now doesn’t hinder the hunt at all.

To put it simply, it is possible…

‘Actually, it’s hard to say, and wearing a spear doesn’t mean your combat power is greatly reduced.’

single number.

It is also a graduation weapon with no substitute.

The effects attached to it had enough power to make up for the discarding of a few skills.

Especially if it’s an Essence below level 4.

Penetration damage 1,200%.

All damage done with spears is tripled.

Superlative Penetration Compensation.

With these three options alone, it is safe to say that the single damage increases rather than when using a sword, and thanks to various regenerative power increasing effects, the stability is much higher.

So, the problem from now on.

‘I’m asking if he accepts this…’

Let’s get some words out.

Because there is nothing to lose by doing that.

Like a barbarian this time.

“Einar.”

She goes to the side and says it casually as if it’s not a big deal.

“Are you thinking of using a spear instead of a sword?”

“…window?”

Einar stopped chewing the beef jerky and looked at me with a strange expression.

After, is it not okay?

Like it or not, the barbarians hate these weapons as cowardly—

“oh! If you’re talking about that window, that’s fine! Give me!”

…huh?

What is this reaction?

“I’m saying this in case you misunderstood, but I’m telling you to use a spear for the rest of your life. Change all integers too.”

“If I had to change it… would it include Semura’s essence?”

The essence of Semura means [to cut repeatedly].

It is what the elder who followed like a teacher passed on to Ainar through ‘Soul Succession’ before he died.

“Yes, including that essence.”

“is it….”

Einar’s gaze changed somewhat vaguely.

But it didn’t take long for an answer to come back.

“If you want, think hard enough and answer—”

“good night. I will turn it into a window.”

“…huh?”

It’s about overturning the entire training, but you decide that without thinking about it for even a minute?

‘Is this a true barbarian…?’

It was a place I couldn’t even dare to follow.

However, Einar did not seem to have made a decision without thinking.

“What are you so surprised about? Didn’t you recommend all the essences I have now in the first place?”

“Uh… is that so?”

“Thanks to that, I have gained a reputation that overflows. I had the power to fight against an unimaginably strong enemy, and with that power I was able to protect my comrades.”

Soon after, Ainar looked at me intently and continued talking in a low voice.

“So I believe in you.”

“…”

“You can’t do anything to harm me, can you?”

I see

I didn’t just make a decision on my own, it was because I trusted me that I was able to move forward without any doubt.

‘Really, can I do that?’

The moment I suddenly thought that trust was difficult to handle.

“And above all…”

Einar averted my eyes.

No, to be precise, he turned his gaze away from me and stared elsewhere.

Even with very greedy eyes.

“…Th-that spear is fine! Isn’t it huge!”

“ah….”

“It seems to be 1.5 times bigger than my greatsword!”

I’m speechless.

Just like crows have an instinctive attachment to shiny objects.

Barbarians had a tendency to like big things.

“It was also cool to shine!”

If it even shines, the icing on the cake.

“Besides, all the kids with wings seem to use spears!”

Yeah… You had a lot of reasons too.

***

Einar, who changed his class to a spearman, immediately began learning the weapon called a spear.

swinging in the air, reaching forward, measuring distance, etc.

He was clumsy at first, as if he obviously didn’t know how to hold it, but with incredible speed he settled into his posture.

“Huh, now you’re showing your old attitude!”

“Your posture?”

“Don’t you remember? That we learned all the weapons when we were kids!”

“Ah, that… it was…”

Oh, why are you suddenly talking about old stories?

As always, the topic of the past was cut off with a short answer, but unfortunately Einar was already locked in memories.

“When you think about it, it is very strange. I heard that my mother and my sister also used spears.”

Fortunately, though, it was something I could answer naturally.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of the spear, but I’ve talked about Einar’s sister before.

Einar, the second daughter of Pnellin.

She Einar has an older sister to her.

No, to be precise… there was.

“uh? Did she have any sisters?”

Similarly, Erwen, who had an older sister, asked, showing interest in her, and Einar shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh, have I never told you? There is a four year age difference. You first became an explorer, telling me stories and harassing me about honing my skills, hehehe…”

“…yes?”

At Einar’s words, which seemed to recall her happy memories, Erwen tilted her head, but it was an happening due to racial and cultural differences.

“So what about her sister? Is she famous?”

She said, “She is dead. Two years before I had her quinceañera.”

“Ah… I’m sorry…”

Erwen apologizes for contemplating as if she touched the wrong side.

But Einar didn’t mind.

“huh? why are you apologizing It’s not your fault that her sister died.”

“But… it must be a sad memory.”

“A sad memory? What does that mean? I have only good memories left. Of course, it’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t see her now, but it always makes me feel better when I recall her memories with her sister.”

At that, Erwen lost her words for a moment.

“How… how could that be? I still… I feel like her heart is choking when I think of her sister.”

Her voice had a slight arguing nuance, perhaps because she was agitated, but luckily Ai Narre didn’t care about such trifles.

She just tilts her head casually.

“Even if I ask why… she doesn’t have anything to say?”

“…”

“Well, isn’t it better to laugh than to be depressed! I’m sure my sister will too!”

A very barbarian answer.

However, upon hearing this, Erwen could not utter a word. She just stared at Einar for a while, then she silently turned her back and went up to her observation deck.

‘Huh… Now I can breathe.’

As she let out the long breath she had been holding back, Ainar put on a strange expression.

“…Did I do something wrong?”

“nothing. do whatever you do When we arrive on the island, we have to start fighting right away.”

“oh! I get it!”

After putting Ainar back into her automatic training mode, she headed for the rudder of her ship.

And after she had confirmed the expected arrival time with Au Yen, she sat with her back against her pole and closed her eyes.

‘I’ll take care of the trivial mobs, and I’ll wake them up if they come out.’

how long has it been like that

Waking up from her slumber, I took out her canteen and looked for Einar. She was curious to see how well she had done in the meantime…

‘huh?’

Somehow, Sunji Ai Nar stopped her training and rested on her deck.

Even with Erwen.

‘what?’

At the moment of questioning, Amelia came to the side.

“Don’t get involved and leave it alone.”

“…I didn’t mean to.”

I’m just curious about the conversation.

Soon after, her ears were pricked up and she concentrated, overhearing a conversation between the two of them.

I was worried because the two of them were together.

A very ordinary conversation continued back and forth between the two.

“Haha, come to think of it, you said you have a younger brother too, right? How is he? Are you an explorer?”

“no. Not yet. There will be a coming-of-age ceremony next year, but I’m a bit worried.”

“If you’re worried, why don’t you tell me this and that from the side?”

“That’s… not easy.”

“huh? Oh, are you imprisoned here?”

“no. It’s not like that… actually… we haven’t gotten along very well since her sister died… and the uncle suddenly disappeared as well.”

“Ah, she must have gone to the battlefield every day to get revenge. Then it’s all your fault!”

Although he was taken aback by Ainar’s line of arguing right and wrong as an old man, Erwen unexpectedly calmly agreed.

“My fault… yes. that’s right. It’s my fault.”

“Haha, that’s okay. Then why not go back and do well?”

“But, I think it’s already too late. My sister hates me and resents me.”

“Did he do it with his own mouth?”

“No, it’s not like that—”

“Otherwise, don’t think it’s weird. do you hate It’s a family, can it be? I’m sure he wants you to go back to the way it was before.”

“Is that so…?”

A bizarre scene in which a fairy, not a different race, is seriously receiving life advice from a barbarian who is no different from an enemy.

But at the same time, the scene somehow made sense.

“Oh, sure it will! You can trust me!”

He seemed to know how Einar always got along with everyone so easily.

***

Day 76 after entering the labyrinth.

After leaving Giant Island, we finally arrived at Library Island.

What we do here is infinite farming.

‘Bellarios is also Bellarios, but I’d like some essence for Einar to eat.’

With such anticipation, we entered the entrance of the building and descended the stairs for a long time.

and….

“Yandel, there is someone below.”

“The number is one. Nothing else.”

“The crouching one seems to be sleeping…”

“What are you going to do?”

I heard unexpected news through Amelia and Erwen.

Sailors who came before us.

‘Who the hell is that?’

There was a candidate that came to mind first.

The same clan that descended to the 1st basement floor with Armin Exploration Team in the last episode.

Apparently their name is…

“…I wonder if they’re from the Ainferial Clan.”

Oh, that’s right.

“But the numbers are strange. one person Where the hell are all those people going…”

Mule frowned and thought about it, but I wasn’t too curious.

No, it was just a waste of time.

“It would be quicker to ask directly.”

Even if I guessed Amman, it would not be more accurate than hearing the truth from my own mouth.

Soon I hurried down the stairs.

coo-! coo-! coo-!

Perhaps because of the noise, the unidentified passenger who was said to be sleeping when we arrived below was up in an awkward position…

“uh…! Me, Baron?!”

He looked at me from the other side and was shocked.

Actually, it was me too.

That would be too…

“…Mathekin Lillegrims.”

He was the leader of the Silver Lion Clan, who had last been reported missing on the village chief island.
