Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 82 Sewerage (3)

Going down the stairs.

In addition to the torches, the light sphere magic was activated, but the darkness was endless.

It’s like wandering through an abyss.

“I’ll speed things up a bit.”

Under Rotmiller’s judgment, he accelerated down the stairs.

How long has it been since then?

“Huh…….”

“I never thought there would be such a wide space under the sewer.”

“Ha ha ha! A human being alone would not be able to do this kind of construction. I don’t know why it was made, but our ancestors must have made it.”

Finally, taking the last step, an open cavity appears.

The ceiling alone is more than 6m high, so it is a space that gives an unbelievable sense of openness to a basement.

“There is only one road that can be seen.”

Rottmiller, who had been scanning the surroundings, points to one.

Looking at it, there is a passage behind the unidentified stone statue that has been blown over the years.

“The woman’s smell is also leading this way. If my prediction is correct, I think we can meet soon.”

ok that’s right

“From now on, I’ll take the lead.”

As it is a straight aisle, the formation was changed.

I lead the way, followed by Rottmiller, helping to find the way. Send the dwarf to the rear to prepare for any surprise attack.

“Stay next to Dwalki.”

“That’s it.”

Misha’s role is to protect the mage in the center and actively support either the rear or the front.

“Then we will depart.”

As soon as I walked all the way through the aisle, I came to a fork in the road.

I don’t know the way, but there were no problems.

Gaeko Rottmiller is with us on our journey.

“It must have gone that way.”

I chose the left path that smells like it.

But what else is this?

“……This time, it’s a fork in the road.”

Once more the road split.

There are five options this time.

“Rotmiller?”

“Ah, it was because I was a bit ambiguous. Maybe I was wandering around, but the smell of that woman is coming from every corner of the street.”

“You mean you can’t follow me anymore?”

“It’s not like that. Let’s go that way. Judging from the particularly strong reverberation, it seems to be the most recently passed road.”

“Right.”

Since route finding and searching are not my domain, I obediently followed the expert’s instructions.

But…

‘What is this place?’

Soon, a new crossroads emerged.

Gradually, I got a sense of the shape of this space.

I don’t know what the hell this space was designed for, but…….

This place has a maze structure.

“Hikuro, do you know what the hell you’re doing here? You’re a dwarf.”

“Ha ha ha! It’s a narrow idea to think that all dwarves are well versed in architecture. So… how about a dwalkie? Aren’t you a wizard?”

“Do you know that wizards are all wise men who have realized the truth? I can’t even guess why the old people intentionally created a space like this underground.”

A question that spreads among the party.

I cut the buds in advance before it becomes more of a nuisance.

“Stop the small talk. Whatever we’re doing here, we just have to catch her and go home.”

“That’s how it is…….”

“If you’re curious, you can ask the administrative office. That will be more accurate than we guess.”

The trio, who were chattering at my words, shut their mouths.

Huh Why on earth do I, a barbarian, have to play the role of a military commander?

After all, the only thing to rely on is Rotmiller.

This guy is the only one who always does his job silently.

“Stop Bjorn.”

“What’s going on?”

“Suddenly, the smell has become strong. It’s probably not like a reverberation…”

Rottmiller, who had suddenly lost his horse’s tail, took another sniff and inhaled, then changed his eyes.

“It’s clear. It’s coming this way from the other side.”

Soon Rottmiller pointed to the second crossroads from the left.

I hope you can find it on the other side.

It’s a little sudden situation, but I confirmed the important things first.

“time is?”

“I’m not sure because I don’t know the speed.”

“It’s okay if you feel it, so tell me.”

“……It seems to be about two minutes.”

“Did you find us over there first?”

“I don’t think so. This is just a guess… but I wonder if I’m lost on the road for some reason.”

Well that’s definitely a plausible guess.

I devised a plan on behalf of the dwarf whose eyes were wide open at our conversation.

“Everyone get ready to fight. I’ll hide and attack her at once when she comes.”

First, hide at the side fork in the road.

Rottmiller prepares for an ambush by dwalking a crossbow and starting casting magic.

Scared to finish this process—

trudge.

I hear the sound of walking from far away.

The sound got closer.

But…

turbulent -.

At some point the sound stops.

‘What happened?’

It was the moment when he patted Rotmiller on the shoulder and asked a question with his eyes.

Tadada dat-!

Urgent footsteps echo through the aisle.

“Bjorn!”

Misha whispered and I closed my eyes.

I was confused because of the reverberant sound, but I understood it when I focused on my hearing.

It’s not running towards us…

“It’s running away.”

“Looks like they noticed we were hiding.”

said Rotmiller urgently.

I too agreed.

Then why would he suddenly make a U-turn and run after walking normally?

“What are you going to do?”

“Are you feeling insecure?”

“I don’t know.”

yes that’s right

“What are you doing? Why don’t you take the lead?”

In the Witch’s Forest, he was in a position to be chased, but…

“We must catch and kill him before he escapes further.”

Now the tag has changed.

***

A being called

the Karui Evil God or Dark God.

He is as rational as he is fickle.

Blind faith always comes with rewards.

[I offer this blood, flesh, and soul, so please tell me the way…!]

Elisa Behenk.

She was able to survive in the Witch’s Forest thanks to Shin’s traits.

Offering offerings to three explorers she met by chance at the cabin, she received the advice that burning a corpse would increase her rest time and a new power called [Death].

If you use that authority, you won’t be attacked by monsters, and you’ll be immune to the area effects of the Witch’s Forest.

That’s why—

[Uh! That woman is……!]

[One thing! Hurry up and run away!}

When I accidentally found a group of Dwarves in the forest, I was able to pursue them to the end.

That’s because it’s an ordinary forest without area effects.

Unfortunately, the chase ended in failure.

When they went up to the 4th floor, I hurriedly followed them, but the color of the portal changed and they moved to another space.

Monsters in front of the portal?

For 10 days, I endured by writing [Deceased Painting].

and returned to the city

[Where are you going to Behenk priest, do you pack so much luggage?]

Immediately, I took only the things I needed and ran away.

Because she had seen the consequences of the priests who defected many times. Now, to her, the city was a more dangerous place than the labyrinth.

But is there a way to live even if the sky collapses?

There was also advice from capricious evil gods.

Sewers full of filth and wretched fugitives.

He said that the city hidden beneath it would accept him.

[what! This is my place! It won’t go away?]

After following the guidance of the evil spirit, it was not difficult to find the ‘door’ hidden in the sewer. The vagabond who had settled there first was not a big problem either.

But…….

[Offer the sacrifice.]

The capricious evil god didn’t even tell me how to open the ‘door’.

Therefore, they roamed the sewers and collected dozens of sacrifices. In return, I figured out how to open the door and went downstairs.

But…

‘What the hell is this place!’

Even though the road was complicated, it was too complicated.

I wandered for hours in the dark.

The capricious evil god seemed unwilling to give directions until the sacrifice was made.

In the meantime…

‘……?’

In case you didn’t know, the [Evil God’s Call] installed with the remaining vitality of the sacrifices was activated.

From then on, I had a feeling of uneasiness.

It might be the pursuer sent by the temple.

I wandered through the maze, looking around more carefully.

That was when

[Kihihihihi!!]

Suddenly, the evil god smiled and pushed back.

Embarrassed, she stopped walking.

It was usually because danger and hardship lay ahead on the way to go at such a time.

‘Could it be the pursuer?’

She paused and focused on her hearing.

A faint sound of breathing could be heard in the stillness.

He was on the other side of the road he was going for.

Noticing this, she ran in the opposite direction.

It wasn’t long before I heard a sound following me from behind.

Just…….

“What are you doing? Why don’t you take the lead? We have to catch and kill them before they run away any further.”

A familiar voice somewhere that ends briefly.

“Bjorn! Watch out! That wicked bitch might be up to something!”

Soon, she even recognized who they were.

Bjorn Yandel.

Even though he revealed that he was a priest, the thoughtless barbarian and his colleagues who hit him with a mace and saw them.

‘Aren’t they sent from the temple…?’

Realizing her true identity, she involuntarily slowed down. I don’t know how they knew and followed me this far…

‘It worked better.’

Soon she stopped walking.

Last time, I had to run away after being defeated by them, but wasn’t it because I was resurrected and consumed a lot of strength?

「Elisa Behenk has summoned the [Door of the Devil’s Land].」

There is no way they will lose each other if they are in perfect condition.

***

The car that I wanted to gradually narrow the distance.

Tadat-!

The sound of jumping that echoed in the darkness cuts off.

And a grotesque sound echoes from across the aisle.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!]

[Gekeekekekekeke!!]

A grotesque sound approaching quickly.

Suddenly, the sound enters the radius of the torch, and dozens of four-legged monsters appear.

‘It’s the [Door of the Dead].’

I was amazed again.

It’s because I didn’t use my strength to resurrect, so it’s definitely different from back then.

「Elisa Behenk has summoned the [Shadow Guard].」

Should I say that the difference comes from the quantity?

In addition to the [Gate of the Dead] that pours out monsters for a few minutes, even the shadow guards are randomly summoned, so the momentum is like a tidal wave.

It’s just…….

“What are you doing? Why don’t you go and destroy it?”

no need to be scared

If so, nothing will change.

“Ha ha ha! Barbarian bastard! It was a pity to leave you behind, but he crawled in on his own! This time I won’t let you go!”

It sucks, won’t you let go?

that’s what it says on this side.

“This time I’ll burst your head!”

The battle started with each other exchanging their resolutions. It was different from the last time, when we had to fight for tens of minutes.

Slow-!

A Shadow Guardian with a fairly high level of physical resistance? Every time Misha wielded her twin swords like a madman, she was helplessly sliced away.

“…was it that easy?”

That’s because there is now an ice attribute bonus.

Besides, the curse that was annoying at the time didn’t work anymore.

「Elisa Behenk casts [Lesser Corruption].」

「Elisa Behenk casts [Muscle Decrease].」

「Leol Warb Dwalki casts 7th grade secondary magic [Brilliance].」

「To party members All of the evil attribute effects on it are canceled.」

Maybe it was because I was hit by a thunderbolt this time?

After learning how to remove the curse, he came back after learning [Brilliance], a wide-area purification magic.

“How are you doing?”

“amazing.”

Looking at the condescending Dwalkie, he gave a rough compliment. For some reason, it seems that I have kept in mind what I said the other day.

Anyway, I gradually joined the battle.

It would be enough for one person just to build a shield wall and block the front, but…

it’s not efficient.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

At the same time as calling out the name of the ancestor god.

In fact, the body begins to energize.

「The character used [Wild Eruption].」

「The character’s threat level temporarily increases by 3 times, and the physical level increases in proportion to the level.」 It

was impossible to link [Giant] due to the narrow aisle, but the effect was sufficient nonetheless. did.

[Grrrrrrr.]

The summoned beasts sensed the threat and started rushing at me.

‘Because of this, it’s like playing some kind of hack and slash game.’

As if to relieve the grievance of the past, he wields a size-up mace like crazy.

Poo-! Poo-! puck!

Physically resistant, whatever, the guards that explode with every swing.

A strange feeling of pleasure arises as the image of the past, where he fought to the death with a few goblins, suddenly comes to mind.

Yes, I do RPGs with this taste.

Pooh-!

“Ah!!”

Aggro was attracted to me and the guards dispersed, so Rotmiller hit the crossbow arrow.

Also, the dwarf created a temporary path by using the ‘Lightning Discharge’ combo.

I ran recklessly through them.

“It’s dangerous to go alone with Bjorn—”

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaa!!”

The summoned beasts blocking the aisle, and the distance rapidly narrowing.

Finally, I can see Elisa’s expression properly.

“There’s no way this could happen…”

He made a disbelieving face.

Why did you not know that such a unilateral composition would come out?

I called ahead

“Dwalkie now!”

K22

“Now…?”

Dwalki asked back questioningly, but…

I’m an elite barbarian who won’t repeat the failures of the past.

“hurry!”

“I see!”

While Misha and the dwarf, who had been following along, assisted.

I continued to clear my way.

30m 20m 10m…….

A rapidly closing distance.

As if sliding with a great leap, she rushed at Elisa.

Just the moment I reached out to grab it.

Year Elisa’s body turns translucent and begins to float in the air.

“Elisa Behenk cast [Spiritification].”

It was [Spiritification].

In addition to the physical immunity bonus, it is an advanced mobile device that allows you to glide.

“You guys! I’ll never forget this humiliation—”

Not forgetting something.

It would be a mistake if you thought of us at the time when we had to helplessly watch them run away.

“Dwalky!”

As soon as I shouted behind me.

“It’s done!!”

The magic ordered in advance is completed and fired.

A spell that Dwalki learned at the Mage Tower for a whopping 1.3 million stones this time.

「Rioll Warb Dwalki cast 8th grade curse magic [Materialization].」

[Materialization].

When this magic hits, the enemy’s physical immunity is canceled. In other words, even a spirit-living monster could be beaten by a naked warrior.

Of course, if it misses, it’s of no use to anyone…

「Rioll Warb Dwalki has cast 9th grade auxiliary magic [Accuracy Support].」

Our Dwalky is now at a stage where he is no longer a half-penny wizard.

“Ahhh! Wow!”

Simultaneously with the release of the [Spiritification] status.

A tactile sensation is transmitted to the fingertips that were outstretched.

It was similar to the first battle with the goblins.

It didn’t matter if it was the wrist or the ankle or the neck.

After holding tight to the collar or something.

Quaang-!

He slammed him to the floor with all his might.

And immediately got on top of her upper body.

Year Elisa twitched and glared at me, as if the damage was enough to make a groggy judgment.

“Ugh! Uh ah ah ah ah…!”

It seems like you’re using double swearing, but……

I still can’t fix that stupid tone.

Of course, I had no intention of being vigilant that the opponent was an idiot.

Isn’t it this year that he has a history of standing up like a zombie, dancing shoulder to shoulder even with his head crushed.

Seruk.

He immediately raised his mace.

But the moment I tried to hit it with all my might.

“Wait a minute!”

Dwalki hurriedly calls out to me and restrains me.

“Wouldn’t it be better to take them alive to get a lot of compensation?”

Well, sure, it was written that way on the wanted list, but I didn’t expect him to care about that.

……Is it because you got a taste of money once?

Now he’s really an explorer too.

“It’s definitely worth killing.”

I woke up on the body of Eli 4 years old.

And after using the [Paralytic Poison] spell by having Dwalkie.

puck! puck! puck! puck!

Without personal feelings, he hit Elisha’s arms and legs with his mace once.

Neatly crushed bones and flesh.

“……Do I have to go that far?”

The dwarf frowned, but…

“Maybe you can escape.”

My usual philosophy is that excess is better than lack in this area.

In that sense, after tying the crippled Elisha tightly with a rope, he carried it on his shoulder like a burden.

“We’ve become a lot stronger. I didn’t expect to win so easily…….”

Misha muttered in an uplifted voice, returning after dealing with the few remaining summons.

I agreed.

That’s because it took less than 3 minutes from the start of the battle to now. It’s an enemy I fought relatively recently, so I can feel my growth.

However, it won’t be too late to compliment and say good things to each other later at the bar.

“Lead Rotmiller.”

Saying that, he tapped Rotmiller on the shoulder.

I will achieve all my goals.

It’s time to leave this spooky subterranean space—

‘huh?’

what is this again

Why did people call me, but there was no movement.

I called out again to Rottmiller.

“…Rotmiller?”

Again, no answer came back.

It was only then that he realized the incident and hurriedly checked other colleagues.

“Misha? Dwalki? Hikurod…?”

No answer came back from anyone.

It’s fine now, so I’d like you to say that it was an invisible man’s game, but…

that can’t be the case.

“…….”

A suffocating silence surrounded me before I knew it.

I muttered quietly.

“Fuck you.”

Ha, somehow things went smoothly.
