Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 667: New World (2)

There are dozens of materials needed to engrave an immortal.

Of course, most of them are easily available on the market, but the three core ones are different. They are by-

products of monsters that are as high as level 3.

Even all three have high essence values. There are very few people who cast ‘distortion’ magic and catch

them…’ In other words, to get their by-products, you have to bring a wizard and catch them by casting ‘distortion’…

However, I haven’t even started the hard work yet…

That’s the 7th floor. Because Noark occupied more than half of the area, I couldn’t even set foot in that area for several years…

Anyway…

“Hahahaha! “I’ve finally found someone I can show off my skills to!”

As soon as a level 3 monster appears, Lee Baek-ho’s team’s tanker Rek Aures steps forward…

and…

“Ooooooooooo-!!”

With a fierce roar, the bones and muscles swell at a rapid rate·

Just like when I [Giant]·

「Rek Aures casted [Giant’s Blood]·」

The deep sea giant’s transformation active skill·

This skill It is very similar to [Giantization] in that the body becomes larger ·

However, if the ‘threat value’ is the main thing in [Giantization], the main thing in [Giant’s Blood] is the pure physical stat boost ·

Also, as it is a grade 3 essence, the stat increase value is the main thing. It is also much higher…

But…

‘It has a fatal drawback…’

You can’t wear proper equipment because your body grows bigger…

Of course, this is a drawback that also applies to [Giantization]…

However, [Giant’s Blood] is a disadvantage of [Giantization]. Unlike the other, the [Unity] effect of the immortal imprint does not apply…

“It was like this… The person who seemed to be taking on the role of a guardian on the team always walked around without his shirt…”

In a way, it was a very similar training method to mine, so I worked hard. After taking a look, I was able to quickly find a familiar part.

Even though my body had become so gigantic, the underwear-like tights that went down to my thighs were fine.

‘Stretching magic panties…’

This is something I once wore as well.

Before filming [Unification], I watched [Giantization]. It tore every time I turned it on, and even after that, my underwear melted no matter what I did because of the [acidic fluid]…

‘As expected, the equipment is taken out from subspace after using a transformer…’

Afterwards, Aures, who had become gigantic, stuck his hand in the air and became super-giant. As I watched him pull out a shield and a huge mace, I spontaneously nodded…

‘A mace is the truth for a cancer shield…’

For strength fighters like us, an ignorant club like this is much more effective than a blade…

“Hahahahaha. !!”

Perhaps to attract aggro, Aures rushes to the lead and plunges the mace into his head

!

The speed at which it is swung and the heavy sound…

Just by looking at this, you can see that it has the power to break off the branches of a level 5 monster with a single blow… but

the opponent is definitely a level 3 monster…

“Kaaaaaaang!”

Instead of acting as an effective hit, he lets out an even more ferocious howl as if he’s just getting angry…

Well, that was expected…

Since he can’t wear armor, he would have had to have physical resistance and anti-magic power with his bad stats in the essence setting to play the role of a tank…

‘Anyway. With this level of damage, you can consider yourself a pure tank…’

So what is your level as a tank?

This could be confirmed right away·

“Viterion casted [Bite]·”

The grip with the teeth grew grotesquely large and clung to Aures’ shoulder·

But···

“Hahaha! Monster ball! “It doesn’t even tickle this much!”

He smiles cheerfully as if he hasn’t suffered any damage, lifts Viterion up as if wrestling, and slams it down on the floor…

Kwaaaaaaang!

It’s still a level 3 monster in name and appearance, but it has

the strength to lift something that big and is sturdy enough to only cause scratches even when bitten properly…

‘…It’s a higher level than I thought, isn’t it?’

On the one hand, I felt an exclamation and I was convinced…

Do I really need to go to this level to go out with Lee Baek-ho?

Ssssssssssssss-!

Even the slightest scratch on the shoulder was quickly cured thanks to Healer Jaina’s healing…

And…

“Velbeve Ruingenes casted a level 3 attack spell [Wunwol]…”

The magic that flew in the shape of a crescent moon hit the monster’s arm. Cutting one off…

“Layton Briott has cast [Sealing Verse]…”

A translucent arrow, unknown when it was fired, pierces the monster’s body and emits light…

Cracking, crackling…

The light that flows out at this time is the chain’s It changed into a shape, wrapped around the monster, and bound its entire body…

“All of Byterion’s supernatural abilities are temporarily sealed…”

And he ate that essence?

Is this one that is particularly difficult to obtain among grade 2 essences?

‘That’s crazy…’

The general perception among explorers is that from level 3 onwards, they are almost treated as raid mobs…

But how can they deal with level 3 monsters so easily?

Once again, I realized that their skills were at their peak—

“Baron…”

As I was watching the battle as if evaluating it…

“Baron, why don’t you try to finish it?”

Lee Baek-ho talks to me in a soft voice…

To put it simply, he means don’t just watch from behind and show me something…

Well, just like I’m curious about these guys, this guy must be curious about me as well…

“Good… ”

However, even though I knew that feeling, I coolly moved forward…

That’s because we can’t just stay together for a while and not show anything…

‘… If I want to confidently claim the loot, I have to contribute anyway…’

So… ···

「The character has casted [Transcendence]·」

「The next skill used will be strengthened·」

After performing [Giantization] in conjunction with [Transcendence]·

“Get out of the way·”

“Ah ah… That That’s right…”

Aures, who is unfamiliar with looking up at someone, takes a step back…

Hmm, I think this is more than a meter apart…

‘That’s not what’s important…’

It’s not an ordinary mace that’s just stupidly big and doesn’t even have a proper noun. No·87 Crowl’s Demon Crusher became even bigger due to the [Unity] effect·

After raising it high above the shoulder·

「The character casted [Swing]·」

Now I show off a skill that is no different from my signature·

Although it is flashy Even though it’s a skill that doesn’t have the effect of shining light or wind blowing around,

the effect was clear…

Isn’t that strange?

Hehehe!

No matter how much I’m a tank and

this guy is a level 3 monster…

Quaaaaaaaaa!

I can’t catch a guy with this much power and skill that even has his supernatural ability sealed—·

“Krrruk…”

What, why doesn’t he die in one hit?

Feeling a little embarrassed, I quickly gave him three or four more [Swing] shots, and only then did he start drooling. The monster that was begging stopped moving·

“Oh·”

The moment the scene of short and intense violence ended, a meaningful exclamation came from behind·

“··· Hey, he’s a tank and he’s getting that deal?”

Fortunately, it seems like the meaning of the compliment is correct.

Seeing Lee Baek-ho teasing his colleague with such a voice.

“Our warrior wouldn’t have been able to catch him even if he hit 20 times. Baron, would you like to join our team? “I’ll kick him out, okay?”

“···White tiger! Where can I find something like that? “I only trusted Baekho-gong and followed him, and now I’m treated like a traitor even by the castle owner!”

Perhaps he has a soft personality despite his size?

Aures shouts as if he is hurt by Lee Baek-ho’s words.

‘No matter what, we are still good friends…’

I looked down at Byterion, who had stopped moving and let the two people’s bickering pass through one ear. ·

‘It’s a bit awkward…’

In the labyrinth, the body turns into light and disappears, which is a symbol of completing the kill. However, since there is no such effect, it doesn’t feel like you caught it even if you catch it. · Does it

somehow feel like it’s going to happen again at any moment?

‘It’s going to take a while to get used to this…’

Moreover, unlike in the labyrinth, you’ll have to make sure you kill properly… You

might think you’ve caught something and leave it alone, but then it suddenly gets up and attacks you…

In many ways, it’s more uncomfortable than the labyrinth…

‘ Well, that’s both a disadvantage and an advantage…’

“Habellion! “You know how to slaughter monsters, right?”

“Of course…”

“Then, quickly take only the profitable by-products… Remove the claws separately and give them to me…”

After the battle, I immediately asked the GM to slaughter them.

For your information, the claws are not like the claws of an ordinary animal, but the teeth on the hand. It means…

At that time, Baekho Lee stopped teasing his colleague and started talking to me…

“Why are you taking the claws, Baron?”

Well, it’s one of the 8th level engraving materials…

I was a little reluctant to say this honestly, so I hesitated for a moment, and Lee Baek-ho smiled sinisterly…

“Oh, I guess it’s because of the engraving material? But the only thing that needs this guy’s claws is a berserker and an immortal, so the Baron will never receive a berserker imprint…” “

····”

“I guess it’s an immortal imprint? Looking at how I got this, it must still be at level 7… Oh wait, so is it because of the engraving that I can use [Giantization] while wearing the equipment? Because of the [Unification] in the 5th stage…”

Ha, this is why I don’t like the kids who came from playing games…

***

Unfortunately, Lee Baek-ho’s treatment didn’t end there…

“Hey… But that was the decision? It’s fascinating…”

“····”

“I have a rough idea of the essence I have. Shall I find a obedient barbarian later and raise him just like the Baron?”

“White tiger…? “I’m not listening right next to you…”

“Huh? Cover your ears, then…”

“····”

I probably don’t mean it when I say that I will make a replica, but it feels very bad when I hear it.

Synergy between essence and essence or items.

In this world, they call something like ‘vision’ for no reason and keep it a secret. Are you doing poetry?

Because they are all valuable assets.

“Haha, Baron, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Oh, and those claws? “Take it with you, no matter how many…”

Well, regardless of the unpleasantness, I steadily packed what I needed to take with me…

‘Anyway, if I just collect two more, does that mean I’ve collected all the level 8 engraving materials?’

It’s not too late to punish Lee Baek-ho later…

If I wait, it will definitely come someday…

When that guy doesn’t dare make jokes like that in front of me…

“Now, what are you all doing? “Once rooting is over, let’s go!”

After leaving the Noark Frontier, we continued to move northwest…

And we encountered monsters once every hour or two.

‘They said the population was much smaller than in the Labyrinth, but I can feel it when I come here…’

That’s how the number of battles increased. As I accumulated more, I realized why Lee Baek-ho said that the intelligence of the monsters outside the castle walls was much higher than that of the labyrinth.

Should I say that each of them had their own way of hunting?

It is basic to use terrain features rather than just rushing in blindly. There were even some who targeted us while we were resting or chased us and watched us before giving up the surprise attack and turning their backs. Ah, in the case of individuals living

in groups, there was a leader. There were times when he strategically commanded throughout the battle…

‘… It really feels like the wild…’

Should I really say that each and every one of them seems to be a high-ranking mutant species that can be called ‘named’?

There were differences in areas such as size for each individual, and some had large scars or, in severe cases, even limped due to aftereffects.

Unlike the Labyrinth, where everything was uniform.

“Then let’s take a rest here today!” You can do whatever you want, so just be here by 7 a.m.! okay?”

As I was finishing today’s journey and preparing to camp a little away from Lee Baek-ho’s, I heard a loud noise from Lee Baek-ho’s.

“Hahaha! Jaina! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!”

“···Stop it·Aures·”

“Stop what? After burning all the precious food! Hahahahaha!”

The atmosphere at Lee Baek-ho’s, which I observed while walking around with him for a few days, was friendlier and more pleasant than I expected…

Well, the biggest factor in the background was that Aures, a warrior, played the role of mood maker…

‘That guy Lee Baek-ho is also smiling heartily… He doesn’t show affection to his colleagues.’ He said…’

“···Huh? “Where are you going?”

“Isn’t there nothing to do?”

Soon, as I was finishing preparing for camp, the GM left my side and went towards Lee Baek-ho’s team.

Then, I naturally mingled with him.

“I prepared a lot of meals, so why don’t you eat some of this?” “Did you?”

“oh! Really? Thank you! Our chef made my stomach stick to my back! Hahaha!”

I felt a sense of discomfort as I wondered if the GM, who seemed like a reclusive loner, had such an extroverted side, but listening to the conversation that followed, it was just information gathering… “

Aha, I see… I had no idea… I thought you were from Noark…”

“Haha, is that right?”

“Ah, but I think I’ve heard about it… There’s a story about a fearsome warrior guarding the gates of Noark…”

“Hahaha! “Let’s not go to that extent!”

The GM keeps the tension light and eagerly absorbs the information that comes to him.

But that doesn’t last long.

“I was curious about something. Can I ask you something?”

“Ask me anything!”

“Why is this team a five-man system? Not 6 people…”

The moment that question was asked, the atmosphere suddenly became cold and silence came…

“····”

“····”

What is it? Is that a question that would elicit that kind of response?

I couldn’t figure out the reason, so I was listening even more closely.

“Huh? Why are you all looking like that?”

Lee Baek-ho’s teammate, Rek Aures, also tilted his head as if he didn’t understand the situation and said,

“Right?”

“Yes, I guess that’s right…”

Lee Baek-ho and Archer have a short conversation…

“They’re not monsters, they’re people…”

What’s going on here?
