Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 170 Burning (2)

A huge mirror that emits red light.

There are about 30 explorers gathered under it.

The blue wolf emblem on each chest signified that they belonged to one clan.

“It’s shift time!”

At the man’s cry, one of the teams standing in front of the mirror switched places with the rest.

Then, he began to mechanically hunt the monsters that appeared through the mirror.

A sight that any 5th floor explorer would have seen at least once.

“……Go somewhere else.”

The explorers who happened to arrive here turned helplessly when they saw them.

It is already familiar.

Because the whole 5th floor was like this.

“Stop! From here, it’s our territory of the Nevis Wolf Clan, so please go somewhere else.”

If it’s a normal team, it’s impossible to resist.

This is because most of the large clans on the 5th floor are usually skilled enough to be active on the 6th floor.

By the way, there was only one reason why such talented people were killing each other on the 5th floor.

The 6th floor is monopolized by the bigger clans.

This one will cost you a lot more money.

“What is the total supply and demand for vice-captain today?”

They hunt in shifts 24 hours a day, procure magic stones, and drive out those who are dissatisfied with force.

“The Essence of the Doomfire Fairy has been released. Is there anyone who can buy it!”

When a grade 5 essence is obtained, it is put in a test tube and sold in the city, and below that, it is passed on to nearby explorers at a low price.

An explorer looking for experience points?

Even he receives them as guests and maximizes profits.

“I’ll cast a binding magic, so don’t get involved in the battle and go back for a while.”

It was a time when they went on a repetitive hunt while taking the fruits of the labyrinth today.

“Captain! This is Berthas!”

“what?”

The man who was resting in the back and commanding the clan quickly got up and approached the mirror.

A monster was visible beyond it.

[Goooooooo-!!]

Two horns sprouted from his forehead.

With a muscular body over 3m.

Berthas, a demon-type monster with four arms and black wings covering its upper body.

“You’re lucky today.”

The corners of the man’s mouth curled long.

It was a guy I hadn’t seen in over a year.

‘How much was it the last time I sold it?’

Although it is 5th grade, it is recognized for its rarity and I remember that it was sold at a very high price to the Mage Tower.

As usual, during this exploration, the magic stone income was below the standard, but with this one, it should be enough to make up for the loss.

“Everyone stand in formation!”

The man took out his weapon for the first time in a while and stood in front. And waited for Berthas to come out completely through the mirror.

“Come out!”

Huge feet stepping slowly through the door.

The expectations in the eyes of the clan members were young.

There were no people who were worried about the battle.

Wizards have completed the spell of the highest firepower.

It was only rare, but after all, it was only a 5th grade monster, so it was clear that the battle would end the moment it appeared.

Yes, it should have been…

[Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh behel!!]

I heard a human roar from the other side of the mirror.

At the same time, the guy who was stepping outside turned his back and kicked his feet.

“…What are those guys!”

He didn’t understand the situation at all.

***

“Behel—laaaaaa!”

Berthas turned his head at the same time as he burst out [Wild Eruption] with all his might.

Soon, the mirror that had formed under his feet disappeared.

Fortunately, the aggro seems to have been attracted well.

‘I thought I missed it.’

The monsters that exist in the underworld enter the labyrinth through that mirror.

To put it simply, it means that even if we were a little late, we might not have caught him.

[Goooooooo-!!]

As soon as I raised my shield, he rushed at me.

Quaang-!

My sensory strength is lower than that of a troll.

After all, it is the number one monster that doesn’t match its face value.

What happened is that it’s a 3rd grade go away.

“Mr. Yandel, are you okay?”

“Never mind me as long as I can hold on!”

“For now, everyone except Mr. Yandel should step back. First of all, we need to know what the ability is!”

An unknown enemy encountered for the first time.

Raven was flustered and placed the order for the first time.

You don’t have to be so careful.

‘……It would look strange if I pretended to know here.’

I was confident that I could hold on for hours if it was a 1:1 composition, so I decided to watch without saying anything.

To be honest, I was a little curious.

In the absence of any knowledge, what judgment would we wizard make?

“Marde Guarzour.”

The first magic Raven used was ‘Magic Measure’.

It’s the one I used when exchanging magic stones at the checkpoint.

“Fortunately, it’s about level 5!”

Once the risk level of the monster was measured.

But that’s all I’ve found out so far.

The rest has to be inferred through practice.

Kwak!

Soon, his fists met my shield and an explosion erupted.

[Scars of Explosion].

“There was no trace of energy moving. I think it’s probably the ability to embody

. ”

If so, what are the triggering conditions?

Quaang! bang! Kwak!

As the explosions continued past my shield, Raven watched the battle from a distance.

and concluded

“Same spot! Explosion blooms when hitting the same spot!”

……That’s correct.

I never thought I’d get this right so quickly.

“So how long are you going to watch?”

“Uh…… It looks like it’s okay by itself, but wouldn’t it be better to observe more? Mr. Karlstein or Mr. Einar could get seriously hurt.”

Um, you mean I won’t get seriously hurt?

For some reason, the sadness and pride of being a tanker bloom at the same time.

“If there’s any danger, I’ll throw a potion right away!”

“Advanced?”

“Your senior!”

If so.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but according to what I’ve experienced, the upper level was the least painful.

Even if you have pain tolerance, it doesn’t mean you don’t get sick.

“Oh, they also use feathers like arrows? Seeing as the energy doesn’t move or anything, I think it’s just an individual characteristic!”

Anyway, Raven’s voice became much lighter, as if it was thought that it was not a very dangerous enemy at our level.

“Mr. Yandel, would you like to hit him with a mace? Maybe something will activate only if you hit him…”

The fact that he was analyzing a monster he had seen for the first time seemed quite enjoyable. It seemed like this was the first time our wizard was so excited, so he obediently followed the instructions.

Kwajik-!

As soon as I hit one of the four arms with [Swing], the joint broke in a deformed way.

Wings spread instantly.

“It’s supernatural!”

One of Berthas’ three active skills.

[Wings of Greed].

Shaaaaa-!

Ambient air being sucked in like a drain whirlpool.

After about 3 seconds of inhalation, the wings folded with a clicking sound, and the broken arm healed.

“It’s a regenerative system ability!”

As if he had no intention of just sucking his finger while watching, he immediately cast a ‘deteriorating’ spell.

‘Hoo, I hope this comes out…….’

The real value of this guy is in the passive, but if you’re going to eat it, it’s better to pick something that’s useful.

「Berthas casts [Legion of Hatred].」

「Berthas casts [Destruction Ray].」

After all, summoning demons and beam beams to barbarians are a bit like that, right?

Whoa-!

After easily avoiding the ‘Destruction Ray’, which takes 3 seconds to cast, I cast [Giant].

That’s right, now the permission has been dropped.

“Now I think all of my abilities have been confirmed!”

“Uh, so now I can go and fight?”

The long awaited moment of treatment.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

While Einar grabbed his greatsword and smashed the summoned demons, Mr. Bear and Raven pulled out their special moves and aimed their guns.

「Abman Urikfried cast [Hazardous Substance]」

「Arua Raven cast the 5th grade attack magic [Thunder Spear]」

Our team’s strongest dealing machine that even the trolls, synonymous with survivability, couldn’t hold out properly.

Aaaaaang-!

A huge explosion bloomed and Berthas’ body turned into a halo of light.

「You have defeated Berthas. EXP +5”

Light particles scattering along with black smoke.

Curious about the result, Raven used wind magic to remove the smoke.

Then, a white essence appeared.

“That Jeongsudang!!”

The [Wings of Greed] that I had longed for appeared.

It only broke through the 33.3% chance, but…

‘To really float at once.’

suddenly a little anxious

***

Essence of level 5 monsters has appeared.

So, there are two options.

Either put it in a test tube and sell it, or one of the team members pays and absorbs it.

“What are you going to do?”

“I think Einar would do well to have this.”

“Eh? Me!!?”

All of Einar’s fuss was neatly ignored.

Although I am a party to this incident…

I am a man who will become a Barbarian Lord in the future.

Simply put, you can represent all barbarians.

“Hmm… even though I haven’t properly confirmed what kind of essence it is yet?”

Skills were confirmed through battle.

However, you will only know what skills this essence contains by tasting it. Besides, what’s as important as skills are the basic stats attached to the essence.

“Considering that, I’d like you to make it a little cheaper.”

“How much?”

“16 million stones.”

When I made a preemptive decision, Einar blacked out.

“16 million stones?!”

“Einar, please be quiet. Huh? Bjorn is talking.”

“Ah got it!”

The conversation was interrupted for a moment, but Raven didn’t smile and continued the conversation with a serious face.

“Divided by four, I only have 4 million stones.”

Well, that doesn’t work either.

That’s why I said 16 million.

“I think the price is too low. It’s a rare monster that I didn’t know about, right? Above all, if I put it in a test tube and sell it, 40% is mine.”

“……I’ll let you do research instead.”

“Am I selling myself to a wizard!!”

“Hmm, like Mr. Yandel did in the past?”

This is a look that is quite tempting.

After all, research is better than money for a wizard.

While gaining momentum, he took out the cards he had prepared in succession.

“Besides, if you put it in a test tube and use distortion magic, you won’t be able to use it anymore.”

In a word, it means that if you find a treasure, wouldn’t it be a pity to use distortion magic on it at that time.

Raven nodded as if he was greedy.

“Although there are only a few days left… Certainly, that possibility cannot be ruled out just yet.”

Okay, at this point, he seems to have been persuaded.

Next it was Mr. Bear’s turn.

“What do you want Mr. Urijkfried to do? Even if I make up for the loss through research…” ”

I don’t care. Haven’t I already earned enough? I came here in the first place thanks to Bjorn’s discovery of him.”

“Well, that’s the case… is it really okay? I don’t know how much this will sell for.”

“So you say it doesn’t matter. If the barbarian girl gets stronger, it’s good for us.”

“Okay then, the talk is over.”

Now Einar has to go to the city and pay Mr. Bear and Raven 4 million stones

each . “Come on, eat it before it disappears.” Einar

,

apparently glad that it was a new essence, took it without any resistance.

“Einar Pnellin’s soul is imbued with [Berthas’s essence].

” A cloud of black light seeping into her.

Raven’s eyes glowed with curiosity.

“So how are you? What is the most noticeable change?”

“Uh… You seem to have gotten stronger…”

“Hmm, that’s ambiguous. I think I’ll have to go back to the city and research it later. Do you want to try using this ability first?”

“This ability?”

“Oh, it might be difficult to imagine.”

Within a moment, Raven recalled the three abilities that Berthas showed off earlier and gave her a tip to use her soul power

. It is also good to exhale through the mouth. That’s what I do when I first learn magic.”

“Uh uh… I’ll try it.”

Under Raven’s instruction, Einar started using Bertha’s active skills one by one.

“Come out! Demons! !”

Summoner [Army of Hatred].

“Eww!!”

Long range attack [Destruction Ray].

And…….

“Wings!!!”

[Wings of Greed]

.

Wings of light fluttered.

Named Barbarian (female) Valkyrie Mode.

“Have I become a Valkyrie

?!

” ”

I’m glad you seem to like it.
