Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 589 Boss Run (2)

Amelia Lane Wales.

A top-level talent who can use Aurors and even has the talent of a ‘leader’.

The class is….

‘I guess it’s something like an alter ego thief.’

Anyway, the current level is 8 and there is 1 empty integer slot. It was originally full, but I deleted one right before I came down to the basement level.

[Affinity]

The essence of Capravara, a grade 5 monster with a passive ability that prevents monsters from attacking first.

It might have been quite useful when I was moving alone, but now that I’m with us, it’s no longer necessary.

Well, there was one more essence that felt similar.

“When you return to Emily City, erase Esgen’s essence as well.”

“The essence of Esken…?”

“Why are you looking surprised? “As I said last time, the days of traveling alone are over, aren’t they?”

“……I’ll think about it.”

To think about it.

If you have [Source of Eternal Life], even if you bring a priest, you won’t be able to receive a single heal.

‘Why aren’t you trying to erase it like this?’

If you have a companion, Esgen’s essence can be easily replaced with potions or other things.

But why is he so obsessed with this essence?

‘…Do you still not really trust us?’

Well, maybe so.

When I was living alone, I must have overcome the risk of death several times with that skill.

It will take some more time to adapt.

“…Okay, think about it. “It’s not like a priest has joined our clan yet.”

We ended the conversation by gradually persuading him on this issue.

And I was about to move on to talking about the boss.

“Well… it looks like it’s been resolved?”

Amelia says something unexpected.

When I looked at her as if she was saying something, Amelia cleared her throat and spoke quietly.

“With Misha Karlstein.”

Oh, that’s what it was about.

Well, since he didn’t say anything properly after that, he must have been curious about the inside story.

“Thanks to you, it was resolved well. “I also confirmed that I have nothing to hide anymore.”

“…Confession.”

“…huh?”

“I heard… I heard that they received it. To Karlstein.”

Ugh…

I couldn’t help but be truly embarrassed.

“Looking at your expression, I guess that’s true.”

“It’s true, how on earth do you know that?”

“I heard it from Tercia.”

“To Erwen…?”

“I was looking for you that day and heard you talking in the room.”

“Ah…”

I was just stupidly opening my mouth when Amelia asked me carefully.

“So… what did you answer?”

Is it right to talk about what happened back then without Misha’s permission? Even though I was worried about that, I spoke honestly about what happened that day.

I also received help from Amelia in this matter.

“We are friends….”

“Yes, it ended quite neatly in that way. So you don’t have to worry—.”

“It’s going to be a muddy fight.”

“…huh?”

“No, I’m talking to myself.”

It was so meaningful that even when I asked what he meant, I couldn’t get an answer.

Amelia brought up a new topic as if avoiding conversation.

“I’m asking about Yandel just in case.”

I’m already feeling uneasy about what he’s trying to say when his voice turns serious…

“Do you like men by any chance?”

“…what?”

“Don’t worry. Because I have no bias in that regard. “I’ve met people with similar preferences several times in Noark.”

What are you talking about again?

“Be careful what you say, Amelia Lane Wales.”

I barely managed to hold back something bubbling in my Danjeon.

“I like women. A lot of that too.”

“…Is that so? Ah… I didn’t know it was that much though—.”

“So don’t ever say something like that in front of me again. “It was even more humiliating than the time you called me ‘Hans’ by mistake.”

“…sorry. Be careful. It will never happen again. really. “I swear on my sister.”

I sighed and let go of my anger at Amelia’s quick and sincere apology.

“Huh…”

It’s such a strange thing.

I don’t particularly hate homosexuals or anything, so why am I so angry?

I don’t know, but Amelia continued to say what she was saying even though she was looking at me.

“Anyway… then I’m glad.”

“Are you lucky?”

“Aren’t you a noble in this world now?”

“huh?”

When I tilted my head, Amelia avoided my gaze for some reason.

“I… I don’t know what your original world is like… but it means it’s okay here.”

“….”

“Even if you like women very much.”

How on earth did the conversation end up here?

I couldn’t really understand it, but I raised the sound from the danjeon.

Even if it was a precious colleague, there was nothing I could do about it.

When I had to scold, I had to scold.

Hongik Ingan and Confucian spirit.

The one who inherited both at the same time.

Also, an orthodox pure-blooded Korean born after inheriting the Joseon royal family’s surname Lee.

Korea, Korea, and I only know Korea.

As KKK-Barbarians.

“conflict-!!!!”

This is unacceptable.

***

“Go…?”

A Confucian shout that Amelia had heard for the first time.

I, who have a duty to benefit the world, hastened to tell you the meaning of that cry.

“This is what is commonly said in our world when scolding.”

“…Did I say something that would get me scolded?”

Haha, you still haven’t figured out the logic.

It wasn’t enough to start a three-way conversation right away, but as a colleague, I opened my mouth calmly.

“Of course. “Because our royal family does not have such a promiscuous culture.”

Amelia was a little taken aback by my words.

“Our royal family…?”

“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would feel burdened, but my last name, ‘Lee,’ means that I am of Joseon royal blood.”

“Are you… telling me you’re royalty?”

“……Yes, it is collateral.”

It pricked my conscience, but it wasn’t wrong, right?

On paper, there is room for interpretation that way.

Due to the unique nature of the race, there is a high possibility that some blood is mixed.

“…Royalty. “That’s amazing.”

Surprisingly, Amelia readily accepted.

Was there just one question?

“But didn’t you say the country you lived in was Korea?”

“Joseon… is an ancient kingdom that has already fallen.”

“Indeed… it was the bloodline of a fallen ancient kingdom?”

Uh…

“Okay.”

There is room for interpretation of this too.

He also appears to be a bit cooler than the small citizen A with the surname Lee.

“Now I understand. Why were you so obsessed with survival? You must have been in an environment where you had no choice but to be that way from a young age. “There must have been a sense of duty.”

“….”

I took the stance of just keeping my mouth shut.

However, did revealing my identity stimulate curiosity?

Amelia started asking various questions.

“Joseon is a truly unique country. “Even royalty cannot have multiple wives.”

This time too, I had nothing to say.

In fact, Joseon was polygamous.

He even had a concubine as well as a wife.

…and a lot of that.

‘Polygamy… isn’t it actually a very fundamental social system?’

A thought like that suddenly occurred to me, but I shook my head with difficulty.

No, that can’t be possible.

Doesn’t the current royal family, the K-government, which inherited the spirit of Confucianism, implement monogamy?

‘…But isn’t this a different world?’

If you think about it, even murder is treated as a capital crime in Korea under the K-government.

And now I am a murderer who has killed hundreds of people.

‘But is there any reason to be tied down?’

Suddenly, the devil in my left arm started whispering to me, but I covered my ears and eyes.

There was no need to force excuses like Confucianism, social systems, or anything else. Since I was born and raised in that kind of world, I feel physiological repulsion first when I hear stories like this.

But did you notice that sign?

“…I guess it was a sensitive topic for you. sorry.”

Amelia apologized again, and I accepted the apology because I felt like I reacted a bit harshly.

Of course, receiving an apology and having doubts were two different things.

“Okay. But why did you suddenly bring up that topic?”

When asked why, Amelia answered that she just needed advice and muttered in a low voice:

“I never thought it wouldn’t have been mud.”

A voice that sounds somewhat solemn.

“In the end… it will be bloody.”

“…What do you keep saying?”

“Oh, I’m just talking to myself. never mind.”

No, even if I say that, it still bothers me?

***

What is more suited to the spirit of the KKK?

After the conversation with Amelia that made me worry, I was able to talk about boss strategy in earnest.

And….

“Is it really okay to just jump?”

So we finally

arrived at the boss room… or more accurately, the entrance to the boss room.

Ssssssssssssss-!

A cliff that radiates a cold feeling.

Below, there is only darkness, like an abyss.

“Don’t be scared. “Because there was no such thing as loss.”

“Fall damage…?”

“It means there is no fall damage.”

I personally explained it to her, but Amelia still didn’t understand what I was saying.

There seemed to be some resistance to falling.

So I just picked up Amelia and jumped down.

“…!”

Any normal person would scream, but Amelia was different. Even though it pulls my hair and holds on, it doesn’t let out a single moan.

Kuung-!

We arrived at the foot of the cliff with such a heavy impact sound.

After some time, Amelia came to her senses and got off my shoulder.

Then he glared at me and sighed.

“Why is it that a guy who can act delicate always…”

“What did you say?”

“….”

“It’s okay, Barbarian. So where is the enemy?”

I think I was a little annoyed because they called me Barbarian instead of Yandel, but this is a problem that can be solved later, so I’ll pass.

“It will be out soon.”

In fact, as soon as you raise your shield and warn, vibrations echo throughout the space.

And then the guy showed up.

Kuung-!

Bigger than most ogres.

Three horns protruding from the forehead and one eyed eye.

The chest area was torn apart as if it had been rotted away, with the ribs exposed….

Chureup.

A strangely shaped tongue sticks out from between them.

As if looking at prey.

Oh, of course, that part was good.

‘…He doesn’t say anything either.’

Originally, the guy who had been running away throughout the rift was boasting that he had finally succeeded in luring him.

“Then get ready, Amelia.”

“Your name now….”

“Isn’t it just the two of us here anyway?”

“Yandel mistakes always happen.”

What are they saying?

I can call you by your real name after a long time.

“I’m saying this all for you—.”

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

Before the nagging could get longer, I activated [Giantization] and rushed forward.

After colliding with the next guy and holding him, Amelia stopped talking and started doing her own thing.

“Amelia Rainwales has cast [Self-Replication].”

Like a clone thief, she first selects the clone and then attacks it from both sides as if she were making up for the lack of people.

Naturally, like twin prosecutors who have been refining their passing skills for a long time.

“Amelia Rainwales casted [Shuragaku].”

A kick was sent into the head of a monster that was several times larger.

“Amelia Rainwales has cast [Power of the Abyss].” She

even uses her aura to cut through the tough skin.

I felt the difference from when I came with the wizard Raven.

While the wizard takes a long time to fire one big blow, Amelia continuously delivers high DPS as a melee weapon.

And….

‘The value itself is definitely high, so the expected value of the deal is high.’

Even if you calculate it against time, Amelia can deal much more than Raven.

Well, this is assuming that it is possible to do a full deal during that time.

‘The biggest problem is resources….’

Amelia’s instantaneous firepower is second only to Erwen.

However, the period during which that firepower lasts is overwhelmingly short. Due to the essence combination, it is inevitable that MP will run out quickly….

‘Now that I am in a situation where I have to deal alone, the disadvantage seems even bigger.’

[Self-replication]’s MP consumption is among the highest.

This is because when the clone uses a skill, the consumption value increases by five times the original amount.

Up until now, I’ve been able to survive with the extra amount of MP I gained with [Power of the Abyss], but…

‘It’s a problem that should have been solved a long time ago in the first place.’

In fact, the reason such shortcomings have not yet surfaced is purely thanks to Amelia’s physical strength.

Look at me.

“Amelia Rainwales has cast [Replacement].”

With her alter ego, she only attracts attention and, in most cases, strikes with her main body.

Even then, he carefully targets vital points and always maintains his own pace to prevent his MP from falling below a certain level.

Therefore, auras that cost a lot of money were taken out briefly and used only when necessary.

Just like this.

Suddenly!

After a long battle, Amelia’s Auror cut off the guy’s head.

If it seemed difficult, I tried to actively intervene.

‘Showing such a performance with such a half-hearted character…’

The corners of my mouth turned up without me knowing.

“The hell giant Herja has been defeated. EXP +6」

「Guardian kill bonus.EXP +3」

It was always a pleasure to see my colleagues become stronger.
