Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 484 Pilgrim (2)

Four adult males with slightly better stats than me.

In fact, I was a little worried as I always beat monsters and looters with my stats and skills, but in the end, it was a useless worry.

‘……It’s easier than I thought?’

I don’t know if I’m going to fight four people head-to-head with my bare fists. They even had proper weapons and shields, so being outnumbered was not a big problem.

I really saw everything.

Well, since I grew up fighting monsters like Amelia from my low-level days, is it natural?

Kakak!

When an enemy attacks, use your shield to drive it away.

Repeatedly striking down the mace towards the gap that was revealed while attacking.

Kwajik-!

After putting the mace down on the crown of one soldier, there was only one soldier left before he knew it.

“……I don’t want to die.”

Even in the middle of the fight, a soldier with a youthful face, who was only keeping his seat in the safest rear, felt defeat and began to run away.

I feel sorry for the friends who died first.

I grabbed the shield like a boomerang and threw it forward as hard as I could.

Whiik-!

The skill name is Shield Arrow.

When I was low level, I wanted to have a long-range attack, so I practiced hard, but in the end, it was an unfortunate skill that I had no use for.

puck-!

Soon after, the soldier who had been hit in the back of the head by the shield fell forward, and I quickly approached and captured the soldier.

“Let it go! Let it go…!”

A soldier struggling with all his might in a state of panic.

“There is something I want to ask you.”

“I think I have something to answer you… coke!”

When I put my fist into the pit of the stomach, he also calmed down and calmed down.

“Kek ke ke ke ke ke ……!”

An environment where it was possible to have a conversation to some extent.

I dug up information from the soldier in earnest.

First of all, what I was most curious about.

“Where is this?”

“What… do you mean…”

What does it mean?

I’m asking because I really don’t know.

“You just answer. Where is this place?”

“……The pilgrim’s cave.”

Well, if you look at Amman, it’s a crystal cave.

“Then what is your purpose?”

“Catch all the runaway pilgrims and bring them to the judgment—”

“Don’t scream. It’s ringing.”

After that, I quickly poured out questions to resolve doubts and continued the work of changing the authenticity of uncertain information into reliable information.

There was quite a bit of information to sort through.

Info 10 There are more pilgrims besides me.

The total number is four including me.

It seems that everyone, including Erwen Bersil Einar, is in a similar situation to me…

The goal of the information 11 pilgrims is to activate the witch altar hidden in the cave.

Just looking at it, this seems like a clear condition.

Even if it’s not clear condition, if you go here, at least you will be able to join your colleagues.

‘It’s information that comes out easily even if I mess with just one soldier, so everyone will be able to find it on their own, right?’

Oh, of course, where the witch altar is is another matter.

However, there was a place I guessed.

It was also the place where we raided.

Darkness in the center.

The joint with the monument of Gabrillius, who first set foot in the labyrinth.

If there is something hidden in this cave, it must be there.

‘……Because there’s no way I’ll make them start from the outskirts otherwise.’

Roughly, the concept of this event is drawn in my head.

Rocky Desert, Goblin Forest, Beast’s Lair, Land of the Dead.

Originally, the four characters who started at the entrance leading to the field on the second floor overcome their own trials and join in the center.

‘I’m sure there will be a boss fight or the next phase will come out…’

Anyway, how the hell did this event happen?

Just because there are four raid members?

no it can’t be

There have been quite a few times where the four of us hunted a dreadlord because one character died in the middle.

‘……Consider the conditions later and focus on attacking for now.’

I finished the interrogation and left the seat.

***

First try.

If you are a serious gamer, there will never be a time as exciting and exhilarating as that moment, and I have always been like that.

But…

turbulent.

It’s a story when you play the game to the end.

When it comes to reality, things are completely different.

thump thump thump.

Every moment is fearful and vigilant.

The exhilarating excitement is nowhere to be found, and all that remains is a chilling tension down the spine and one thought that cannot be erased from being stuck in my brain.

‘Never make a mistake.’

It must be completely successful on the first try.

It’s not a roguelike game where you become skilled while dying.

Because there is no second try here.

“The character kills 10 Imperial soldiers.”

“All figures increase by +1.”

“The character defeats 15 Imperial soldiers.”

“All figures increase by +1.”

“The character gains 20 Imperial soldiers. I got rid of it.”

「All values increase by +1……」

With the idea of reducing the number of enemies, I moved while hunting for 5 or fewer soldiers wandering around, and I felt that my stats gradually rose.

‘Every time I catch five people……’

I don’t know exactly how many stats increase, but for now it is.

‘I don’t know how the boss mob will turn out, but I’ll have to grow as much as possible.’

I wanted to focus on hunting as much as possible to raise my stats, but I decided that the first goal was to move to the center rather than hunting.

It was a decision made thoroughly rationally.

‘In this format, the possibility of a time proportional penalty cannot be ruled out.’

A way to be strong and plenty of time.

It’s not a game that’s kind enough to give you both at the same time.

[Dungeon & Stone] is a game I have enjoyed.

‘…If you have time, you can hunt there. Let’s move.’

How long had it been since he headed for the center, focusing on movement rather than hunting?

‘…I think it’s been at least seven hours.’

Information is updated at this point.

Information 12 It is not a place where you can escape just because the labyrinth is closed.

Even if the labyrinth was closed, it should have been closed a long time ago.

I’m still standing here

Of course, there were also concerns about it.

‘……If you can’t escape in time like a rift, isn’t it a case of being trapped inside?’

This is also a variable that cannot be ignored.

However, nothing will change if I think about this already.

“A pilgrim!”

Then a shout came from the passage across the side road.

How can we not see each other yet?

Although he had doubts, he hurriedly prepared for battle, but no soldiers appeared on the side road.

No, rather, the sound of the soldiers’ footsteps got farther away.

“Catch it!”

“Servant of the Dirty Witch!”

Only then did I understand the situation.

Someone other than me is around here.

Tadat.

Without looking further, the soldiers ran in the direction they ran.

‘Einar? Versil? Erwen? Who is it?’

As I was thinking about who was being chased by the soldiers, before long, I saw the soldiers stopped and gathered in the distance.

‘…… I’ve gathered all the soldiers in the immediate vicinity.’

Nine soldiers blocked all three aisles.

And Bersille Gowland, surrounded by such soldiers.

“Oh don’t come! Don’t come!”

Versil trembled and brandished the bone wand.

From the perspective of me, a warrior in the position, it was a move that made me wonder if he had any intention of hitting it in the first place.

Naturally, the soldiers did not budge.

“One of them! Hurry up and grab it!”

“Kyaaaak!”

In the end, Versil could not even resist properly and was subdued by the soldiers.

‘How did he… come all the way here?’

I don’t know, but I didn’t have time to think about it.

The soldiers immediately knelt down and prepared to cut their throats, assuming that summary execution was the rule.

‘Nine nimirals are a bit tough…’

Unfortunately, there was no choice.

Can’t we just watch Versil die?

Kwajik-

Without thinking further, I hit the back of the head of the soldier at the back with all my might with my mace.

“…It’s a surprise!”

The gaze that focuses on one guy as soon as he touches it.

Well then, from now on you don’t have to move stealthily.

“Behel—laaaaaa.”

Put your weight on your shield and run forward.

It was an unavoidable choice.

“What! Come on, from that bitch—!”

How do you rescue the hostages by approaching them step by step?

“Ugh!”

On the way to this place, based on the strengthened figures, I pushed two soldiers and jumped into the center.

And the moment he hugged the kneeling Versil.

Pooh-!

A longsword dug deep into his side.

“Hey Mr. Yandel?”

“…Greetings later.”

The route I walked was a situation where the soldiers who had fallen after being pushed by the rush got up and blocked it again.

First of all, you need to change your positioning.

It’s not that the physical resistance is full, and there’s no chance of winning in a situation surrounded by both sides.

“Hold on tight.”

“Yes? Ah!”

After Versil grabs her by the neck and hangs her, she goes back the way she came.

Pushing a guy away as if hitting him with a shield.

Tadat.

The moment you run away, a tingling sensation rises from your thighs.

Pooh-!

The pond to eat.

He smashed the spear stick stuck in his thigh with his mace and continued his dash. Thanks to that, he succeeded in rescuing Versil in an instant and breaking the siege.

The only problem is…

‘I can’t jump with these legs.’

Well, you don’t have to worry about your back.

I hurriedly put Versil down and sent her back.

Soldiers were creeping up through the straight aisle.

‘Due to the nature of the aisle, the number of people who can attack at once is three at most.’

And the number of remaining soldiers is eight.

‘…Not good.’

A situation in which he suffered a single injury to his thigh and a single blow to his side while overdoing it. Even if the battle continues like this, there is a possibility that other soldiers will hear the sound and gather.

Kwak.

The time when I lowered my center of gravity by lowering my upper body in anticipation of such a tough battle.

“Versil Gowland cast [Rising Flesh].”

……Healing began to come in.

***

[Flesh Filling].

The active skill of a level 7 monster Dark Worshiper.

It was activated by Versyl Gowland’s hand.

‘…what is this?’

Sorcerers use essence skills?

A strange phenomenon that I have never seen while playing [Dungeon and Stone].

However, there was something else to do before quenching his curiosity.

‘If this happens, the story will be different.’

There’s only one thing I need to ask Bersil right now.

It’s not how I was able to use that skill.

“How much longer can I use Versil’s ability?”

“One more time in three minutes.”

“Good.”

The wound has already been fully recovered.

Even worse, there is a way to recover after 3 minutes.

That means you can fight much more aggressively.

Tadat.

He released his defensive stance, ran forward, and swung his mace.

And…….

Kwajik Kwajik-!

As much as the weight of the attack was raised, he suffered several minor injuries, but as a result, he won the battle.

“The character has killed 70 Imperial soldiers.”

“All values increase by +1.”

Killed 7 and the remaining 2 escaped.

Those who escaped did not bother to pursue them.

“Hey Mr. Yandel…”

“…Let’s change the location first. Before those who escaped call for support.”

“Ah yes!”

With only one armor and a shield of the right size to put on Versil, he quickly left the place.

And…

「Versil Gowland cast [Rising Flesh].」

In a safe place, we got healed and started talking.

“What is this? How do you use your superpowers?”

“I don’t know about that. I was able to use it naturally from the moment I opened my eyes… It was amazing. Should I say it feels like a new organ has been added to my body? Maybe I’m the first wizard to have experienced this?”

Well, I don’t need such a long explanation.

As she was about to say something, Versil cleared her throat and took care of herself.

“Ah, anyway, this isn’t the important thing. There’s another ability that can be used besides this one.”

“what?”

“I think it’s like [fairy tale].”

[Fairy Tale] is a gnome skill.

The effect is to create a concealment barrier with a radius of 3m. From what I’ve heard, it seems that Versil has been working hard

on her stealth

skills to come here…

Well, somehow it seems so.

For a mage with no combat experience to survive, a balance patch like that is necessary.

“It was a really big deal. Because I lacked spiritual power? So I ran into soldiers in a car I was resting on… I couldn’t even hide after being caught.”

“Where was your starting position?”

“…yes?”

“You would know if you looked outside before the barrier went off.”

“Uh… I’m sorry.

“Ah… is it? Well… it could be. It’s not particularly important. Did you manage to figure out that you had to come to the center anyway?”

“yes?”

“…huh?”

Versil and I tilted our heads with a slight time difference.

“Didn’t you come to the center on purpose?”

“Is this… the center…?”

“…….”

Yes, I guess he was just running away.

thank god. It was me who met him then.

“…So what happened to Mr. Yandel? Fighting against ten soldiers and winning. What equipment is there? I didn’t even know you were Mr. Yandel at first!”

After talking about herself, Versil asked me a lot of questions, and I shared information while solving the rumors that had happened so far.

It starts at 0 minutes after opening your eyes.

Check the missing skill seal ability value seal equipment.

Through the conversation the soldiers had right before the barrier was broken, we found out that we were ‘pilgrims’.

Also, through the similarity of the Goblin Forest outside the barrier, I recalled the possibility that my colleagues started from the exact opposite position…….

Seeing that the soldiers were using ‘language’, I judged that I could dig up information through interrogation.

and run away.

20 minutes car.

Recognizing that demons are helping us.

After observing the soldiers chasing me and the monster fighting, I figured out the level of the soldiers and found out that this cave looked dark to them.

30 minutes car.

Deciding that information gathering was necessary, he hid himself behind the brightest crystal and ambush him.

After barely winning a three-on-one battle, he rooted his equipment to increase his combat power.

45 minutes car.

Surprise soldiers wearing the Empire set.

Interrogation begins after the battle is won.

At this time, he obtained a lot of information and set a goal for the future through the information that ‘the pilgrim’s goal is to activate the witch’s altar hidden in the cave’.

2 hours car.

In order to raise his stats, he focused on moving while catching the foot soldiers he encountered. It was because I was concerned about the variables that would arise when time was delayed.

And…….

About 7 hours car.

“This is the moment. Are you done?”

After that, it seems that information sharing is over.

“Now, let’s move quickly. We must hurry to the center. There is a high possibility that the witch’s altar is there.”

Versil did not follow my words.

It just stopped and stared blankly at me.

“…Did Mr. Yandel know about this situation in advance?”

“huh?”

what.

If that’s the case, there won’t be any fuss.

“Of course I didn’t know.”

“But how do you know that…?”

It was a really stupid question.

‘……Isn’t he also a player?’

Why are you amazed at such an obvious judgment?
