Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 277 Whirlpool (3)

“Oh no…!”

It was the man’s last will.

Amelia didn’t even listen to him and slammed her foot down, crushing the man’s head like a dropped watermelon.

Kwajik.

It was a bit futile.

I struggled so fiercely, but to finish like this.

“Barbarian.”

Soon Amelia’s attention turned to me.

“You’re very hurt.”

what.

“Then you are missing an arm.”

“Because I’m running out of time.”

Why are we talking about time here?

Is this the right conversation?

It was when such a question suddenly arose.

“I never thought I would have had this.”

While searching through the man’s corpse, Amelia pulled out a severed arm from the subspace.

What is it and why are you listening to that?

I frowned involuntarily, but Amelia calmly brought one of her arms to the amputation.

‘No, that’s why…’

“It will take another day for the nerves to return to their original state.”

‘…does it stick?’

I just put it on and pressed it down for about 10 seconds, but the arms stuck together as if glue had been applied. Seeing that the proportions are perfect, it seems to be my own arm.

‘Come to think of it, he said he has a constitution that can’t eat potions.’

I remembered a conversation I had with Amelia earlier.

[…Didn’t you eat the potion?]

[Because of that constitution.]

A short conversation in the sewer the other day.

‘As expected, he ate the essence.’

[The Source of Fire].

A passive skill that cannot receive all healing effects, including potions, but greatly increases natural regeneration. It also has the property of automatically recovering from injuries of the level of physical damage over time, so it is a skill with good cost-effectiveness.

“Rain Bjorn! It’s okay! Why are you so hurt again…!”

Oh yeah. This is not the time.

I came to my senses belatedly and stood up on the ground. It’s like going crazy wondering what happened to Misha, but…

that’s something you can do later.

“It’s okay. Help me out.”

“Oh okay. Come here!”

Received support, I walked to the place where my comrades were. Everyone was gathered in one place.

“Misha… I’m glad you’re safe. Mr. Yandel was really worried…” ”

Oh, I’m sorry I’m late. Something happened. But who’s lying in the middle… ..”

Misha immediately checked the fallen man’s face and started a match.

“Ah Abman?! Could it be that the Lord died…?”

“…….”

Raven did not answer.

I just look at the ground with bitter eyes.

When I removed my hand from my shoulder, Misha quickly approached and checked Mr. Bear’s breathing.

“I can’t… I can’t breathe…”

Misha stared at me with startled eyes and quickly moved her hand to Mr. Bear’s heart.

And…

“I can’t even feel my pulse… Then really…”

He hung his head without speaking until the end.

to that look.

“…yes.”

Raven pressed his lips together as if he were about to cry and spoke briefly.

There was no comedy.

‘What are you?’

Oh, I will die first.

“Why do you want to kill people who are alive?”

I approached Mr. Bear, leading my body here and there without sound. And I turned it so that I could see the bracelet on my thick wrist.

No. 7611 ‘The Deceit of the Corpse Master’.

An item that puts the wearer into a state of suspended animation when receiving fatal damage and gives them immunity to damage for a certain period of time.

“Fortunately, it seems to have been written well.”

Of the jewels in the bracelet, there was now only one that radiated light.

However, did Raven not know of the existence of this item?

“Yes? What does that mean…”

I didn’t have the energy to answer for a long time, so I just opened the stopper of the potion and poured it over Mr. Bear’s body.

Chiyiyi profit.

The slightly dried blood began to boil and create bubbles.

It was proof that Mr. Bear was still alive.

The potion does not respond to those who have lost their lives.

“Ersina, do something. Hurry up and treat her.”

“Ah ah… yes! I will!”

As the potion reached the priest’s heel, Mr. Bear’s wounds began to heal quickly.

After that, it’s safe to say that I’ve lived this long.

I’m so glad

Because I can come before the item effect ends.

I somehow endured the fact that I was about to fall down, and stayed awake. If it wasn’t for me, everyone would have thought I was dead and would have been crying next to me, right?

“Mister, Mister, please come here too. I need to treat you soon…”

Within a moment, Erwen approached me and said something. But is it because Mr. Bear’s survival is confirmed and the tension is relieved?

“ah.”

yes i need treatment

“uh?”

As I tried to move my body, the ground began to tilt.

dump-!

It was the last memory of that day.

***

When I opened my eyes, it was dark around me.

The small night sky revealed between the dark green leaves of the dense trees.

Tadat tadadat tick!

I heard the sound of a bonfire.

For some reason, the thought of wanting to stay like this a little longer came to mind.

But…

‘First, grasp the situation.’

I hit the ground and forcibly raised my upper body.

From the shoulder to the waist to the calf, there was no place where the whole body was not sore.

A slightly different sensation from pain thanks to pain tolerance.

“Whoa.”

He let out a long breath.

But did I wake up to that little sound?

A dwarf rubs his eyes in the sleeping bag next to him and sticks out his face.

“…mister! You’re awake!”

It’s Erwen.

“Is your body okay?”

“…for now.”

I replied and looked around.

Seeing that there are several sleeping bags around, they all seem to be sleeping…

‘Looks like they were camping.’

When I checked my surroundings, I saw monsters blocked by the translucent curtain.

The efficacy of [Declaration of Destruction].

Oh, of course, there were night shifts.

“I guess you’ve finally come to your senses.”

Amelia Lane Wales.

I still don’t know if it’s a bad relationship or a good relationship, but the woman I’ve met by chance several times so far.

“…what happened?”

“It’s been about a day since you lost your mind. That’s all.”

Well I guess I didn’t ask how long it’s been.

“I meant to tell you why you were with Misha and why you were betrayed by your colleagues, and any other information I need to know.”

“Right.”

When I explained it in a way that even a three-year-old could understand, Amelia nodded in response.

“Listen to your colleague.”

What a prick.

“Tell me Erwen.”

Soon, I moved the subject of the hearing to Erwen, and I was able to hear the rough story.

“I don’t know where to start talking… I’ll talk about it after the old man collapses.”

When I passed out, my colleagues said it wasn’t even a fuss.

Because it wasn’t cured.

Mr. Bear was in an incurable state because of Drake’s skill, but I was poisoned by that swordsman’s sword, so it was difficult to get rid of it easily.

[If this continues, I will surely die.]

[What? It’s okay to use magic!]

[It’s impossible because detoxification magic is highly versatile and not highly specialized.] [

Then what about divine power?]

[It’s extremely poisonous, to the point of being miraculous. In my state, I don’t have enough divine power to drive out this poison.]

[Bjorn is not a warrior who will die in a place like this!! Save me!!]

Decryption using magic is a difficult situation.

Even the priest was unable to heal because his divine power was out of order.

It was Amelia who stepped out then.

[Write this. It’s probably an antidote.]

Amelia found an antidote among the items in the prosecutor’s bag, gave it to us, and neutralized the poison with it.

“Fortunately, the medicine seemed to work well, and then I gave him a potion and the wound started to heal.”

So my health problems are over for now.

However, it wasn’t that it wasn’t confusing. Monsters were still swarming in from all sides, and everyone was in the worst physical condition.

In the meantime, the level of difficulty must have been much higher since I had to take care of the fainting me and Mr. Bear.

“But thanks to that person over there… I was able to hold on until the priest was able to use [Declaration of Annihilation] again.”

“And it’s now.”

“Yes? No. This is the third time I’ve been taking a break like this.”

Erwen said that when he opened the barrier for the first time, there was a bloody atmosphere as if he was fighting a monster.

It was none other than Patsran and Amelia.

[I had no choice but to join forces just now, but that woman is a raider from Noark. can not believe it. It’s that woman who attacked us in the first place.]

[Eh?! He’s from Noark…?!]

[Did he go around without knowing that? You were lucky in many ways.]

Patsran did not hide his hostility toward Amelia, and Amelia did the same.

Didn’t he show hostility first?

[He’s a talkative guy. If you want to attack, attack.]

He did not avoid hostility and poured water on the seeds of division.

It was a time when living within the barriers drifted like that.

[Stop that! I didn’t know this woman was from Noark… But she’s not a bad person!]

Misha protected Amelia.

[If this person is gone, what will you do next? Mr. Patsran, think rationally. First of all, this person was betrayed by his colleagues, right? With only two left, they won’t attack us or anything. In the first place, it would have been a long time ago.]

Raven also tried to mediate the fight by judging rationally.

Of course, the parties did not even listen.

[Since the situation has changed, you mean to forget all grudges? That woman didn’t do enough to harm the drows, so she sent us a pursuer. He probably would have died then if we hadn’t dealt with it properly.]

[That’s a pity. If I had died then, I wouldn’t have had to hear the humming sound like now.]

[What? This looter bitch…!]

Patsran pulled out the second sword he had been carrying in reserve, and Amelia also drew out her dagger and confronted her.

But…

[Yes. Well thought out Mr. Partzran.]

Partzran didn’t swing his sword after all.

I don’t know that much, but I’m not that stupid.

[I’ll keep watching, so don’t even think about doing anything strange.]

After that, an uncomfortable break continued.

After the barrier was over, I fought the monsters again and took a break when the cooldown of [Declaration of Destruction] expired.

It was during the second break that Mr. Bear woke up.

[Haha… Today’s work is a secret from my wife. I’ll definitely stop working as an explorer.]

As soon as he woke up, Mr. Bear, who had been worried about the future, quickly regained his energy and joined the front line.

And…

“From then on, the monsters that appeared suddenly changed.”

While I was passing out, the third wave started.

The middle boss was a 4th grade monster.

There were several dizzying situations, such as the priest passing out after being hit by the boss, but Amelia overcame it by performing well as the main dealer.

“What about integers?”

“I didn’t come out.”

after that

Is there only one final boss left?

I really want him to drop the essence.

‘Should I worry about whether I can catch it first?’

I suddenly had a lot of thoughts, but I put them all aside and listened to Erwen’s story.

However, it was more than I thought.

It was a long talk, but in the end, it was all about fighting, resting, and a war of nerves between Patsran and Amelia.

“Anyway, that’s how we got here.”

“Are all your questions answered?”

To some extent.

“Thank you. You must be tired. You should also rest.”

“…No. I’ll be by your side.”

Well, I don’t think there’s a need for that, but…

It must be funny what I’m saying here.

“But Mister, is it okay if I don’t wake you up?”

“Misha? All right. I know he’s alive and well, so why wake him up? Let him sleep.”

It’s like this from the fact that even though we’re having a conversation like this in the first place, not a single person woke up.

The exhaustion from the arduous battle must have accumulated to the limit.

It doesn’t matter if we talk later.

So now it’s time to listen to the other side.

“It’s been a while, Amelia.”

I completely got out of my sleeping bag and sat down in front of the campfire.

And said thanks.

“A while ago… No, thank you for helping me yesterday.”

“Unlike a barbarian, the introduction is long. If you have any questions, just ask.”

No, even barbarians can do this much…

well, it’s okay.

Getting straight to the point is always welcome.

“What happened to Misha?”

“Didn’t you hear from that fairy?”

“I thought it would be better if you heard this through your mouth.”

“…tsk.”

Amelia clicked her tongue as if it were annoying, but unexpectedly, she told me what had happened without saying much.

Being betrayed by Carmilla and Belverson.

So, while running away, he met Misha and received help.

By the way, I was very surprised by this part.

“What? [Declaration of Destruction] Scroll? You had that precious thing?”

Sacred Scrolls are no longer made because the crafting recipe disappeared a long time ago.

A treasure worth calling, of course. Where

the hell did

he get something like this…

“Hemmmm sorry for interrupting you. Then continue.”

“Somehow, your eyes are unpleasant.”

“It’s my mood, it’s my mood.”

Anyway, thanks to the [Declaration of Destruction] scroll, Amelia and Misha were able to survive the monster wave safely.

After that, my body recovered to some extent and I was able to move.

“I still don’t understand, but how did the two of us get through so many monsters and come this far?”

“…There is such an essence. It prevents monsters from attacking first.”

Oh, did you eat that essence?

But why do you eat it?

No matter how much you are a seeker, if you bring a priest with you, the problem will be solved…

‘Ah, there is no priest in Noark.’

Besides, come to think of it, he was a predator.

That essence would have been very useful when wandering alone in the labyrinth.

“So that’s all I’m curious about?”

“No more.”

“Try it.”

“Do you know what caused this island to become like this?”

Who activated the event on this island?

When asked about it in a roundabout way, Amelia gave the answer.

“The two of Carmilla and Belverson messed with Gabrilius’s arrangement. They seemed to think that when I escaped, they had to somehow lock them up and get rid of them here.”

Well, there was a story like that.

I don’t know if there was a player among those two.

Gabrillius’ arrangement means hidden peace.

However, it seems that few players know about the Hidden Peace on this island.

“Did you hear the information directly from the interrogation of the summoner woman?”

“okay.”

“What did she do?”

“Traitors are unforgiving.”

I mean killed

‘Ah, why did you kill it when you’ve captured it alive?’

I couldn’t hold it in and let out a sigh of regret.

Isn’t that woman an explorer who used to deal with rare flying summons?

If I had used him, I would have been able to escape this island right away.

‘What can I do with something that has already passed.’

Instead of hurting the relationship by blaming Amelia, I turned my attention to other things.

“Anyway, did you find what you were looking for?”

“…….”

Amelia kept her mouth shut.

I wonder if I should tell you this or not.

I said in a soft voice.

“Uh-huh, what are you hiding between us now?”

“Hmm, between us?”

“Even if you look at it like this, am I not the savior of your life?”

“What are you talking about…?”

“Do you think Misha would have saved you if I hadn’t known you?”

“…….”

Amelia didn’t disagree, as if she thought so too.

He just clicked his tongue and answered my question.

“The item was retrieved. Contrary to what was said to have been hidden, it was found to be in the sub-space.”

“Somehow, I thought I would too. There’s no way those guys would leave the treasure away from their bodies.”

“Then the question is over now?”

no it can’t be

“One more thing.”

I asked last.

“What the hell is that thing? After hearing about it, it’s powerful enough to change history—”

“stop.”

Amelia cut my words like a knife.

and wrinkled his face.

Was this a sensitive issue?

“If you don’t like poetry, don’t answer. I was just asking out of curiosity!”

Looking at Amelia’s hardened mouth, I made an excuse, implying that I wasn’t intending to cross the line in a hurry.

But maybe I misunderstood something?

“monster.”

Amelia stared into space and spat out a few random words.

…a monster?

Shaaaaaaa-!

A gust of wind blew from all directions, shaking the branches of trees.

Only then did I understand what you meant.

After that, I wanted to rest a little longer.

“There are at least level 3 monsters around here. Wake up your comrades.”

Yes, the last wave has begun.
