Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 135 Orculis (1)

The Guardian of Balance.

The field effect was concluded early.

It means that the abilities of those entering the maze are equally distributed.

All the team members agreed to the guess made by Rotmiller, who had received various hints from me.

Therefore, unnecessary explanation was not necessary.

“Perhaps other explorers have entered this labyrinth.”

“Another explorer? It must be a place where you can’t meet other explorers in the Tower of Heaven?”

The dwarf muttered something incomprehensible…

“You don’t even know, Murad. At least the situation we’re in isn’t normal.”

The 4th floor Sky Tower is an independent space.

If several teams do not enter at the same time at the time of entry, no matter how much you fight, you will not be able to meet other teams.

However, this is a space unknown to the outside world.

“It doesn’t matter what happens here.”

unknown.

A word that means not yet known.

This means that all possibilities are embraced.

So…

“I get what you mean. But it could be that we’re wrong in our guesses? It’s just that there were different rules applied when we entered this space—” The dwarf hinted at another possibility

. Speak concisely and firmly.

“That seems like too much of a leap.”

Because this is not an unknown space to me.

It would be more reasonable to sort things out quickly and move on to the next one without wasting time.

“I think Rotmiller’s guess is correct. What about you, Dwalkie?”

“…I think this way is more plausible.”

“It means consent. What about you, Mischa?”

“Uh… I’ll just stay still.”

Mischa abstained.

However, since there were already three votes for a majority, the choice was not forced.

“Okay then, the decision has been made. For now, let’s move on assuming Rotmiller’s words are true. If you have any complaints, speak up now.”

“……None.”

After the dwarf in charge of the pants nodded grimly, I quickly settled the situation.

Another explorer entered the maze.

And they are stronger than us.

My stats have doubled in my experience, so I must be an explorer active on at least the 6th floor.

It’s not a clan, it’s a team unit.

If so, what should we do now?

The team members each gave their own opinions on the topic I raised, and I took advantage of the gap to meet the condition of summoning the mid-boss.

「The devil in the labyrinth senses the blood.」

Okay, now we just have to wait a little longer.

“Well, doesn’t it really matter? Rather, it would be nice to work together to find a way out…” “I do

n’t know what kind of people they might be, but why don’t we just stay here? There’s no guarantee that you’ll be trapped when the labyrinth is closed.”

“Haha! What are you so worried about, my friend? No matter how strong you are, it’s a special situation right now.

“Well, but just in case, it would be better to avoid them as much as possible and find a way out.”

I smiled bitterly.

I listened intently while waiting to see if there was anything useful.

Again, collective intelligence didn’t help much.

Rotmiller was at least better, but I didn’t have the worst in mind because I had a strong sense of preparation.

“What do you think, Bjorn?”

My eyes are focused on his question.

I said after finalizing my thoughts.

“I don’t think it can be a coincidence either.”

“What if it’s not a coincidence?”

“To think that an explorer with this much power was on the 4th floor at this time?

“That means they might have been here for their purpose in the first place.”

“Yes. And if so, they must have noticed our presence by now.”

At my words, Dwalki denied it.

“Ah, could it be that way? To know about this place in advance.”

Also, the dwarf laughed.

“Haha, even so, you’re talking as if they’re looters already?”

Rottmiller has been earnestly asking the question again.

“So what do you think is best?”

I answered.

they are unknown

Therefore, all possibilities are inherent.

This variable can be luck or lead me to death.

Therefore, even if my appearance like this seems strange to my colleagues.

“We must get out of here.”

You have to assume the worst.

pounding-!

That he did not look away from the ominousness in his heart.

Because that’s the secret to my survival.

***

「You have defeated Baphomet. EXP +5”

“Bonus for defeating high-ranking mutants. EXP +1”

***

Running through the maze.

Not wandering around, properly heading towards the destination.

“This way!”

Rottmiller, who followed closely behind me, held a map in his hand.

It was not a map he had been working hard on, but a map that detailed the path of the entire labyrinth.

Of course, the location of the boss room is also written.

It’s a loot obtained by defeating Baphomet, the mid-boss.

‘I didn’t expect it to be so easy to catch.’

Baphomet summoned at the same time as I finished my words.

Originally, the battle with him, which he had to barely catch by attacking his weak points, took less than a minute.

It was possible to just hit it with a dill.

It was a bit of a situation to say it was a good thing.

‘How strong are they originally?’

An unknown uninvited guest.

For reference, it’s been a long time since I threw out the idea that it could be one person.

No matter how strong an individual is, there are limits.

Tadadadadat-!

Clear thoughts and speed up.

Everyone seemed to be following along, so I thought it would be okay.

In fact, when I peeked behind me, even the dwarf, who lacked endurance, was running well with Dwalkie on his back.

So stop worrying about this part.

[Meaek-!!!]

I hit the head of Baikundus protruding from the front with my mace.

Of course, it staggered greatly, but did not die in one hit.

However, I passed the staggering guy without slowing down.

Because Misha decided to take care of the trash mobs.

Slow-!

A group of lights scattered at the same time as the sound of cloth was heard.

However, I can’t hear the sound of the magic stone falling.

This time, it seems that Misha caught it well in the air.

“Go left!”

Follow Rotmiller’s instructions and turn around.

Then four Vaikundus are seen in the distance.

In fact, now I can take it down with just Me and Misha Rotmiller… but

it would be nice to save even a second of time.

“Dwalky!”

At my cry, the dwalki got off the dwarf’s back and cast a spell.

Shaaaaaaa-!

[Cold Storm].

A 7th grade attack magic that deals damage in a wide range instead of a single deal. Originally, that magic spell was only used to link up with 8th and 9th grade mobs and Misha.

[Meh…… eh?]

A blizzard reminiscent of hailstones shoots across the aisle, and the four Bykundus are frozen.

A 6th grade monster was judged to be ‘frozen’ beyond ‘frostbite’ with one magic shot.

However, in a few seconds, the condition will be resolved……

Kwaaaang-!

Hurry up and smash it with your mace and resume moving.

And when he decides he needs a break, he spreads himself out in the aisle for a while, refining his breathing.

Time passed like that, and it was time to take a third break.

“Whoop whoop… isn’t Bjorn in too much of a hurry? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s any need to be in such a hurry…”

The dwarf breathed out and carefully let out the dissatisfaction he had been holding back. .

This is somewhat expected.

[I keep getting that ominous feeling. So please. Trust me just this once.]

The first request I ever made.

Everyone was compelled to respond to this.

But…

[…well, you’re the type of person who has good senses.]

[I don’t care. And you, Bjorn, don’t think that I paid off my debt with this. Do you intend to pay for it properly later?]

As time passed, you must have had doubts.

“I think this is enough for me too. It’s like a leap that they knew about this place in the first place…….”

Isn’t it more likely that they accidentally came here like us?

no, even if it is.

“If you’re worried about the marks you left behind, can you stop going slowly? Even looters won’t find us in a place like this.”

Are they really predators?

Isn’t this really close to a delusion to find us and try to harm us?

“In fact, I’m not even sure why you’re so sure there’s a way to escape here.”

Above all, the boss room… No guarantee that there will be a way to escape to the place that isn’t even listed as a boss room?

“Umm, I have no complaints. You know? It’s real? Huh?”

These are all reasonable questions.

Because they haven’t had the same experience as me.

Hidden Peace is not that special.

Just looking at Gensia, whom I met in ‘Glacier Cave’ not too long ago, that’s the case.

The crack was opened using the Hidden Peace element.

In addition, in Ghost Busters, information is exchanged every month and information about Hidden Peace spreads.

“Bjorn is not like you today. Even if everything you say is true, can’t we just fight back?”

The dwarf said it as if persuading him, but that was the biggest problem.

Keeper of Balance in effect?

Even so, nothing changes.

A situation that would have been punished turned into a situation that was just ordinary punishment.

That’s about it.

Even if the abilities are the same, there is a difference in the skill level or number of essences.

If the items are combined, the difference will widen even more.

‘If we fight, we lose unconditionally.’

This was the source of my insecurities.

pounding-!

A lion can not think of anything in front of a rabbit.

But what about rabbits?

“I don’t have time for this. I’ll move when I’m all rested.”

If you meet a lion, you must run.

***

A stone chamber that runs in four directions.

A man standing in the middle sings.

“Larkaz Labyrinth…….”

The man took off the hood that covered his face and approached the wall.

Then he carefully swiped the wall.

“You’re finally here.”

The corners of his mouth twisted up and his burn-scarred skin distorted.

But anyone can see it.

“God, how can you attach wings to such an evil person…!”

As if lamenting this, the old man in a black priestly robe closed his eyes.

Is that really what you mean?

To sigh while throwing meaningless questions into the air.

It was the only thing an old man could do.

“Would you like me to pull out your tongue, old man?”

“How can you be afraid? Physical pain—”

“Oh, of course, your grandson’s tongue.”

“…….”

As the old man shut his mouth, the man giggled and turned his gaze to the floor

. A middle-aged explorer who had collapsed was seated.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and his parted lips trembled and groaned in

agony

. I’m sorry that I lost.”

The man smiled as he looked at the seeker’s severed shoulder.

Who would have known? There must have been a way to get into this place

that I haven’t been able to find for a year so easily.

Even an evil god is a very funny person to show the way to someone who has been stunned for offering a gift.” ”

He… wasn’t your colleague?

” I just took it with me because it was useful. Hey, stop waking up now? I came in late, so I don’t have time.”

As the man put his foot on the explorer’s waist and shook it, deep wrinkles formed between the old man’s forehead.

“Stop it. Offering body parts to evil spirits No. The pain would be beyond imagination—”

“Isn’t an old man like that?”

The old man flinched at the man’s cold

voice

. This is disgusting.

But the old man has something to protect.

Probably the same for this searcher.

“I’m fine… High priest

.

” He also nodded his head in satisfaction.

However, he frowned as if he realized something belatedly, and repeatedly opened and closed his hands.

Kwak-

He knows about the ‘Guardian of Balance’.

But even considering that, the changes in his body that have occurred now is not convincing.

“Has the old man changed anything? Divine power or something.”

“……It has decreased a little.”

“It has decreased? Didn’t it increase?

Are you sure?” “I’m sure.”

The man turned his head and stared at the seeker.

“You, seeker?

” ..”

“That’s right.”

The man stared down the aisle with a fishy smile.

The old man from the high priest’s office, even if that’s the case, to the extent that even a 5th-level searcher’s strength is reduced?

“Some rats came in first.

” The eyes were giving off a cool glare.
