Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 56 Witch’s Forest (3)

Priest of Karui.

You have to go to at least the 5th floor to change your job, and unlike the general priest, it is a kind of hidden class that is covered with all kinds of combat spells and curse abilities.

“What is this! They ran away!”

In the worst case, even annihilation was in mind, but as a result, we were able to defeat this danger without damage.

How could that be?

To put it mildly, there were several reasons.

“As a priest of the Karui… As I heard, he was a fearsome being. If it wasn’t for you, Bjorn, he would have gone through a lot.”

The weapon was taken away earlier.

Swords, shields, spears, and even Elisha’s staff. I had no idea at the time. It was fortunate that I had taken the wand back then.

It wouldn’t have been the usual way to deploy spells without a wand.

Well, there are some other key factors.

“As expected, a reliable barbarian is the best. I wondered if Rotmiller was mistaken because she was a priest.

“I am the same. Just when you wielded a weapon, Bjorn, my heart felt so weak…” A blow that

was delivered at an unexpected moment for both the enemy and the ally.

Elisa, whose head was broken in this one shot, had to be resurrected while absorbing the vitality of her colleagues.

However, it was not a resurrection to a normal state.

That’s right, his brain was smashed and he came back to life, but how could his body be fine?

‘Perhaps it was because he was less well-recovered that he had to cut off his words like an idiot.’

There were many advantages in many ways.

However, at the same time, there is a sense of relief in that fact, and a sense of dizziness. What would it be like if they fought in a situation where they were 100% each other?

Well, I think the odds of winning were about half and half.

Assuming that either side wins at least two people die.

There must have been a fierce battle.

Knowing that, they must have been playing tricks while cosplaying as castaways.

‘Then, did it help that the power was boiling?’

After completing the review of this incident, I simply checked my physical condition.

It was the worst I could see.

「[Stamina decrease] continues.」

「Stamina recovery speed decreases.」

「[Low corruption] continues.」

「Injury recovery speed decreases.」

「[Chase] continues 「

The location of the character is conveyed to the caster.」

「[Wonderful Spirit Step] continues.」

「Slight pain occurs when the character moves.」

「[Reduced energy] continues… …」

It looks like the bastard will turn around.

My eyes are sore and my head feels slightly salted. For some reason, there is no strength in the lower leg.

Who the fuck, how many curses did he throw at me alone?

「Warning: Your character has more than 15 stacked curses. If not treated with divine power or magic, the character’s physical abilities may be permanently reduced

.

It’s like a total mess. To be honest, it’s hard to even explain in words how bad it is.

Still, don’t worry too much.

Because we have wizards on our team.

“Ask for the Dwalki Curse Removal Magic.”

“You mean to lift that curse?”

No, why are you surprised?

make people anxious

“Didn’t you say you could use curse magic?”

“That’s true, but…”

That’s true, but so what.

As I stared at him with the intent to continue talking, Dwalkie averted his gaze and said.

“You said you could use some curse magic, didn’t you say you could cancel it…?”

huh?

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

“I couldn’t help it because I was self-taught rather than entering the Magic Tower. I heard that there was almost no way to lift the curse while exploring…” Dwalki continued to make excuses

.

In short, it was a really simple story.

“In a word, it means there was no money.”

When I summarized the situation in one sentence like a barbarian, Dwalkie nodded disapprovingly.

“That’s right. I thought it would be better to learn the most necessary things first.”

Yes, we were such a team.

What are you to blame now?

They are all in the same situation, so complaining more here will only make you an ugly person.

Don’t dwell on the impossible and do what you can do right now.

“Is there any way to pursue her, Rottmiller?”

“…Unfortunately, there isn’t. I’ve been looking for a way since before, but I can’t even find it.”

oh well so

A little… no, this is quite a headache.

It seems that some still don’t realize it at all.

“What’s your opinion? How dangerous do you think it would be?”

“Well, I’m not sure yet. But it’s clear that I have to leave this place right now.”

“I’m leaving… but where?”

“Wait! What are you guys talking about?”

I was having a serious conversation with Rotmiller when Dwalki interrupted.

I’d like to tell him to stay away for a while since he’s talking with the adults, but…

isn’t he a wizard, too?

If you discuss it, you might come up with something good, so let’s explain it roughly.

“Didn’t that woman say while running away that she would never let us live? She’ll definitely come back soon.”

“That’s right, but if he comes again, shouldn’t we just deal with him like we do now?”

No, I mean, would that be that easy?

Is it because it’s your first time entering the labyrinth?

Although he is a wizard, he seems to have less judgment than Misha.

“It’s definitely a big deal! If you’re fighting monsters and they attack you from behind, you’ll be in trouble!”

It is common knowledge across the world that an invisible enemy is more terrifying than a visible enemy.

Even when she came to seek revenge, she must have almost recovered her strength.

‘The timing of the surprise attack can be decided there first.’

As I can tell just by looking at myself who benefited from the tactic of winning first, initiating most fights is an advantage.

Rottmiller kindly explained this, and Dwalkie kept his mouth shut in awe.

“A Karui priest is targeting us in the dark. This must be a major obstacle to our journey, hahaha.”

The dwarf, the leader of the pants team, pretended to be nonchalant and patted the hardened Dwalkie on the shoulder, but the

stiff atmosphere did not improve at all.

Hey, since they fought 1:5 just before, they should know better. What troublesome bastards the priests of the Karui are.

It was a time when the anxiety gradually increased.

“I think it would be better to go to the witch’s forest as soon as possible.”

I have presented the only remedy for the current situation.

Rottmiller asked briefly.

“The reason is?”

“If we get there, they won’t be able to track us down. The curse problem will be solved.”

Many of the answers were omitted, but that was enough. Looking at his expression, he seemed to understand what he meant.

“Using the topographical characteristics of the Witch’s Forest…… It’s a reasonable decision.”

Rotmiller nodded.

Was there just one question?

“By the way, didn’t you say it was your first time coming to the third floor?”

yes it is

So please, before I say anything, please take care of yourself, this man.

“…studyed in the library.”

“library?”

Rotmiller tilts his head at the excuse that is not mine.

But don’t worry too much.

Sometimes there are witnesses right next to you.

“It’s surprising, but it’s true. Bjorn stops by the library every day to read.”

“Whoa, the barbarian reads a book?”

“Somehow, unlike the other barbarians, the way he speaks is extraordinary.”

The gaze flies as if looking at a star species.

Now that I’m interested, I hope I can make a decision soon and do something to do.

“So what do you all think?”

“I’m in favor of your plan.”

Afterward, Rottmiller backed up my argument, and the dwarf and Mischa followed suit, and the conclusion quickly came to an end.

But there was one thing left to do before they hurriedly left

. Seeing ‘Hanson’ collapsed like a doll whose thread had been cut at the same time as he escaped, I said,

“What are you all doing? Without taking off your gear?” No matter

how

urgent you are, you have to

pack something .

We’re explorers,

right ?

Destroying looters and monsters

. The level of Dramtem was different from the guys I met before.

Of course, if you divide it into 5 parts here, the income will be roughly the same as then.

“Really! It’s not that each person can take more than 1 million tons! I’m glad I paid taxes this year, but I’m glad!”

“I can learn a few more spells with that money! Oh, I will definitely learn the magic to remove the curse this time!”

Dwalki and Misha, who had gained a lot of money in an instant, happily drew their own future.

However, the dwarf Rotmiller and I just smiled vaguely and remained silent

. Wouldn’t it be meaningful to return to the city alive after earning ? ”

I’m going to settle these loot later after

selling them all in the city.”

Because no one can fathom the future of a person.

During the exploration, someone may die, a backpack may be lost, and there may be an attempt to bounce with one bay. However,

in this process, I was slightly surprised.

‘I knew the dwarf, but Misha also has an expandable backpack. I never thought I’d be the owner…….’ Contrary to the impression she’s shown so far

, is it the style of saving money

in a frugal way ?

“

After taking the loot, we organized the camp and left quickly.

Rotmiller took the lead in finding the way, and the rest followed him, wary of any surprise attack.

The monster battles were also avoided as much as possible using Rotmiller’s sense of smell and moved. ” Warning

: The character’s energy is continuously decreasing. If it is not resolved quickly, it

will be permanent…” It seems that it will end.

5 hours almost like running with a lot of curses on it .

After moving about a distance, my body is not a horse.

If it wasn’t for the stats such as exorcism and darkness resistance obtained from vampires, I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

“Hey Bjorn… Are you okay?

” “I can handle it, so don’t

worry about it.” I pretended to be okay with the dwarf’s worries, but to be honest, it’s not okay at all.

Unlike those guys who have two or three curses on them, that crazy bitch threw countless curses at me alone.

Even This curse was placed only on me.

‘Damn energy loss…’

Energy loss.

A dog-like skill that drastically lowers the stamina recovery consumed whenever a character moves or takes an action.

For reference, stamina is separate from vitality. No matter how high the natural regeneration power is,

it is useless.

In the game, the character didn’t move when the stamina gauge went below 10%. In the

case of NPCs, there were many times when they whined and whined while saying that they would rather

die. But

I ‘m not at that level yet .

No.

So far, you can survive with your mental strength.

That means you still have quite a bit of room left.

「Achievement achievement」

Condition: Stamina level drops below 5%

Reward: Spirit level increases by +1 permanently.

Cancer obviously If you

don’t think like that, you can’t hold on.

Rather, think only of the positive parts.

Even though you’ve pushed yourself a little, the destination is just

around the corner .

A journey through time.

Contrary to concerns, we arrived at the Witch’s Forest without a single attack.

‘We’ve come this far, but it’s probably because we haven’t fully recovered from that year.’

It’s worthwhile to rush even though

it’s too much. At least I don’t think there’s any possibility that that bitch gave up on us. That’s

why he even brought out the power of the dark god in front of us to try to survive somehow. If

we, the witnesses, return alive and well, that bitch will be in great trouble. I will do it.

“We have arrived.”

As soon as I heard Rotmiller’s words, I brushed off the thoughts that were filling my head.

After, too, when it’s hard, it’s best to think about something else.

You could have skipped 10 minutes, right?

“Here’s the witch ‘s forest……. For some reason, it feels creepy.”

“For some reason, all the wizards who came here for the first time said that.” “It feels like

an ominous magic power vibrates throughout the forest.”

A tree.

A vine that coils around it like a snake coils around it.

“Wait a minute! That tree has moved!”

A place where everything comes alive and moves.

The Witch’s Forest.

“The character has entered a special area.”

“Field Effect – Witch’s A forest will be granted.」

「Abnormal status [Direction] will be granted.」

「Abnormal status [Hearing hallucinations] will be granted.」

「Abnormity [hallucinations] will be granted.」

「Abnormal status [Enhancement of pain] will be granted. .”

Relying on the torch, the moment I stepped into it, the cool air passed through my skin.

「All status effects except field effects are ineffective.」

Ha, I think I will live a little longer.
