Chapter 210
Episode 210 Leader (3)
In an instant, thick bones covered his entire body.
「Abed Necrapeto cast [Bone Armor].」
The man smiled and stared straight ahead.
The fire that had moved to the bones was quickly extinguished, but the remaining flames in the aisle became a wall blocking the way.
“Hmm, I didn’t know you would run away.”
Shall I follow you?
Looking beyond the blazing flames, the man who was troubled decided to quit.
How to make people angry.
I wasn’t curious about the second one, but…
[…It’s the corpse of the captain’s knight.
] Everyone be vigilant from now on. There must be enemies nearby.]
Explorers were appearing just at the right time from the second floor portal and other passageways.
The number is about 20 people.
Seeing that they are wearing the same pattern on their shirts, it seems to be a small clan…
“Tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue in displeasure and moved on.
His mission in this gig is to stop those escaping through the second-floor portal.
Originally, it was a mission that the dragon slayer was supposed to take on.
“Anyway, that snake-eyed bastard isn’t helpful. Helpful.”
Perhaps, if he had recovered in time, he would have been able to focus on mass killing, his specialty, in the center as planned.
“Well, the guy who ran away will take care of it over there.”
After all, there is no reason to chase and kill the guy who jumped out.
Just thinking about it is already annoying.
It’s me, just stop doing my job.
It was the time when I was moving towards the second floor portal with that kind of heart.
Jiying.
The message stone vibrated in my pocket.
[What about Necrapeto? Did you arrive at the destination well?]
“Oh, vice-captain! Don’t worry. We arrived a long time ago, and now we’ve blocked a rat from escaping. Fishit!”
I spoke confidently, but the answer came back after a long interval.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even an answer.
[……What is that tone? What is that strange laughing sound?]
“Strange laughing sound?”
The man tilted his head at first, but soon realized the meaning of the words and smiled.
“Ah, it’s just a habit, so don’t worry about the vice-captain.”
[Habit?]
“A habit that comes out when wearing a mask.”
[…I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, if something goes wrong, contact me immediately.]
At this point, contact was cut off.
The man tapped the skull mask he received as a supply item with his index finger.
Suddenly, the members of the Round Table came to mind.
‘For now, the foxes and goblins must have entered unconditionally.’
How many people will be able to attend the next meeting alive and well?
I was already looking forward to it.
***
I’m running with all my might.
I was worried that he might come after me.
“Huh, heh, heh.”
After 10 minutes of running through the aisle, Mr. Bear murmured,
“Are you bullied?”
Mr. Bear muttered.
It was a flag-like line, which made me nervous for a moment, but I didn’t bother to say anything.
I had similar thoughts, too. ‘
I didn’t exactly bully him, but it would be correct to assume that he didn’t chase me.’ ”
I’m going to slow down
from now on.”
” …Don’t run away anymore?
”
Dense crystal cave.
If you speed up too much, it becomes difficult to deal with unexpected dangers in time. It’s
safe to say that the entire first floor is already a minefield—
“Wouldn’t it be right for Bjorn to fight too?”
Huh?
“What does that mean, Einar? ”
“A corpse collector. It was an opportunity to make your name known more widely! But to run away with that chance!”
Yes, somehow it stayed quiet the whole time.
This was something I didn’t like
. He tends to look up to me like some ancient hero, a
barbarian .
Just being uninjured is a good thing.’
The true value of a necromancer is revealed when he takes out a corpse from subspace.
There is also a number item that has made his reputation for corpse collectors.
A signature that feels similar to a dragon slayer’s dragon slayer sword.
If he even pulled that out, surely one of us A few people must have been killed or seriously injured,
but…
“Don’t force Einar.”
Without me stepping out, Misha coldly pointed out, and Einar shrank.
“I’m fine…! But as an adult, I can understand. But what do you say to these young warriors…!”
Ah, now I see that was the real problem.
Einar goes to the Holy Land and talks about the expeditions he’s been with me every time.
It’s almost apotheosis. It was embarrassing, but I thought it was raising my support level,
so I left it alone for a while
. Warriors don’t lie!”
“Write! Do you want to keep talking back?!”
Einar kept his mouth shut as Misha strongly insisted. The
sunken shoulders somehow hurt my heart.
Barbarians always have a charm to be confident.
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
“Einar We didn’t run away now.”
“Huh?”
“He ran away when he saw us.”
A common barbarian mental victory.
“What does that mean? Don’t make fun of me……. I’m not that thoughtless!”
Hmm, I didn’t know that.
I continued with a serious expression.
“I’m not kidding. Einar A wise warrior must also know how to choose a place to fight. I rushed back to stand on the battlefield in our favor, and he knew that and ran away.” Einar
frowned as if in agony, then asked cautiously.
” Is that…really?”
After a firm nod, Einar brightened up again
as
usual
. It’s just… I think a leader like this should be a person.”
Raven shook his head while giving a strange look. I
think I was quite impressed with me comforting Einar who was in despair. ”
Then, let’s move on.”
After finishing at , I carefully proceeded through the passage, vigilant in all directions.
The destination was the center of the 1st floor.
Right where I thought the wind and blood was blowing. ”
Wouldn’t it be better to go through the other portal?”
I won’t.”
I gave up on the option of going to the second floor.
On the way to the Goblin Forest, there was a corpse collector standing there.
‘Maybe he’s trying to block the portal.’
As I expected, there is a high possibility that a similar level of power is waiting in the other portal.
“Then I follow your judgment. Yandel, you have a good feel for things like this.”
How long did it take to move forward through the fog?
Clap clap.
About 10 people appeared from the front.
By the time they felt a presence, they were already within sight of each other.
Fortunately , “……Knights.”
Not only did everyone wear knight armor, but each armor had the family pattern to which they
belonged
. ..
“Raise your wrist so that you can see the explorer dog tag.”
Looking at that arrogant tone, it seems original.
Therefore, I showed the dog tag on the wrist as instructed and asked,
“Is the dog tag meaningful?
” Information.
The article answered briefly,
“To some extent.”
“I’d like to hear more
.” Thanks to that, we suffered quite a bit of damage.”
“I see.”
“If you’re curious, lower your weapon and stick to the wall. Until we pass,”
said the knight afterward, and I obediently followed his instructions.
The real atmosphere was bloody.
All of the knights were drenched in blood,
no matter how many battles they had fought to get here. “Can you tell me exactly what the situation is?”
”
…That’s a suspicious question.”
“As soon as we started, we ran to the second floor. There is no information inside.”
“Hmm.”
The knight stopped walking and stared at me.
A look as if he was trying to determine whether my words were real.
I started to wonder if I had asked for no reason at those uneasy eyes.
“Hello. I am Arua Raven, a mage belonging to the Artemion School.”
Raven stepped forward, revealing her identity.
“If our identity is in doubt, we can use magic to prove it—”
“Stop coming closer. If you don’t want to die.”
“No, I—”
“Do you think there will be no wizards in Noark?”
Raven didn’t say anything at the knight’s low-spirited voice.
“…….”
“… ….”
A heavy silence began to settle in the hall at some point.
“Sir Garfizel, they can’t be Noark’s side, so you don’t have to worry about that part.”
A knight in the back row joined in and the situation reversed.
How does he guarantee that?”
“Because he’s quite a famous explorer.”
“Hmm, this guy?”
The knight who seemed to be the leader looked at me and tilted his head, and I did the same.
“……Do you know me?”
“I know. Every.”
The knight who received my question raised the front of his helmet.
Then the face he remembered appeared.
So his name was…
“Carls Erimor?”
“It’s an honor to remember you. It’s been a while.”
Carls Erimore.
He’s a knight from the Baron Martoan family that I met at the Count’s house. He
was an apprentice, but whatever.
He was a rare explorer, so he got along well with me.
Anyway, I never thought I’d see him here again.
“So who is this guy? Is it?”
“My name is Bjorn Yandel. In the city of Yandel, it is more famous by the nickname of ‘Little Balkan’.” As
my identity was proven through my relationship with Kals, the knight’s eyes toward me changed.
“Little Balkan… I’ve heard of it while passing by. They say Knightbreaker is a funny name in society, right?”
His gaze was far from friendly.
However, since the suspicion that he was an enemy has disappeared, he should be able to say that he is much better than before.
“So, can you hear how things are now? ?”
The article briefly explained the situation.
As soon as they entered the labyrinth, Noark’s side explorers attacked from here and there.
Among them, the one with the dog tag was hiding, so the damage was considerable in the beginning. After
the fog formed, the dark area in the center “If it’s the Dark Zone in the center ,
are you referring to the place where the monument is?” ”
Yes, go there.
As long as we can get there, it will be safe.” I heard the good news.
I grabbed the guy who was about to leave right away and carefully asked
him, “Are
you guys going to the portal ?” ”
It’s
because we’re on our way from there.”
“It’s interesting.”
I told the interested knight what I knew.
That’s right, we’re all on the same side.
We can’t let dogs die.
“The portal There is a body collector nearby. So if you see a dead body in the aisle, be on your guard. Does that mean he found you too?”
Surprisingly, the knight listened to my words and nodded without question.
“In wartime, each piece of information is valuable. You are a corpse collector……. Thank you for telling me.”
Surprisingly, the knight even thanked me and handed me a ring.
“If the knight doubts you, show me this and tell me. Then your identity will be guaranteed.”
“…Use this well.”
“Then I’m running out of time.” As
soon as the ring was handed over, the knight led the group and disappeared through the fog.
I felt as nasty as before. He didn’t lose.
Looking at it now, he was a guy who knew Dory
.
I tried to put the ring on my pinky finger, but I neatly gave up and gave it to Misha
. me? Do you want me to wear it?”
“It doesn’t fit my hand.”
“…If that’s the case, then what can I do?”
Misha gently holds out her left hand to me.
What is it? Are you asking me to put it on
? ..”
I turned my hand so that the back of the hand was facing down and put the ring on it. ”
You
wear it
.
”
The smell of blood got stronger as we got out of the outskirts and got closer
to
the center
.
He was naked.
Even in the middle of this, he was taking everything he needed.
Well, since it’s common, there’s nothing to say.
“Yandel! It’s a surprise!!”
There were quite a few battles along the way. I wonder
if this will be about 9 or so?
Once, after checking the dog tag, I suddenly attacked when I turned around, and all the others took out their weapons and attacked as soon as I encountered them.
Most of them were with us . It was at the same 5th level level…….
So far, no big problems.
“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Looking at the average, we’re pretty strong.
It has high combat power because it doesn’t have a
searcher
. I don’t have time for that, so I’ll just pack my equipment and move again.”
As the distance increases, the equipment piles up one by one in the subspace.
It feels like entering a dungeon with an infinite PK concept.
‘I didn’t expect to feel such a thrill on the first floor. .’
Slowly, the anxiety grows.
So far, it’s been going well, but how long will this last?
“Bjorn…….”
“Don’t worry. We’re
almost there.” He
continued to lead the team without showing any signs of uneasiness.
And how long had it passed?
“Stay.
” As soon
as they saw us, they seemed to be resting after an arduous battle, and as soon as they saw us, they took out their weapons and
raised
their
arms
. ..!Ah mister?!”
Then a familiar voice came.
