Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 138



Episode 138 Awakening (1)

Regal Bagos, the dragon slayer.

The dragon tribe, who was cursed by a dragon after killing the clan’s Taego-ryong, who serves as the chief of the tribe.

He disappeared after the incident, but about 10 years ago, he started his activities as a member of Orcules by terrorizing the holy land of the fairies.

The main weapon is an Akje longsword nicknamed the dragon slayer sword, and it is said that there are a total of six confirmed essences… ‘

three 5th grade, two 4th grade, one 3rd grade.’

Looking at the known integers, it’s close to a typical gang stat check.

Since all skills are in the form of strengthening themselves, it is a class that has nothing to do with equipment.

Well, the information was from 10 years ago, so it might have changed to some extent, but…

I’m sure that’s unlikely.

How is a criminal bastard going to erase the essence?

‘So it must have crawled all the way here because of this one thing.’

By the way, the dragon I was most worried about. In other words, it is said that the unique skill of the Yongin tribe is sealed due to the ‘dragon’s curse’.

It was good news to hear.

To be honest, I was really scared when I found out that I was a dragon race.

“This is all I know.”

“That’s right, thank you. It was very helpful.”

Having learned the information of the enemy through Rotmiller, I calmly organized my thoughts.

Oh, of course, while running towards the destination.

Tadada dat-!

First of all, the dragon slayer Regal Vagos.

It was an unexpected giant.

If it wasn’t for the ‘Guardian of Balance’, he would have been decapitated before he even recognized that it was a jewel.

Tadada dat-!

Feeling somehow cool, I check the time.

[08 : 57]

About three hours have passed since I met him.

In other words, in 9 hours, the game of tag begins.

Of course, this is assuming that he keeps his promise properly, but anyway.

‘It’s 12 hours……’

It’s a regrettable part.

My proud demeanor accompanied by a warrior’s oath.

In response, he also accepted the deal with a curious mind or with the thought that it would be worth it to lose money.

But…

‘If it weren’t for that damn ring, I might have waited for the day coolly.’

24 hours and 12 hours are very different.

It was a time when I could have prepared everything and took a rest at the end of the day.

‘There’s nothing easy to do after that.’

I let out a sigh, but I hold on to my will.

Goblin Traps, Psychopaths, Blood Citadel, Witch’s Forest, Hierarchy Lords, and so on.

Recalling the hopeless past, erasing distracting thoughts and

engraving only one goal in its place.

Survive.

All together if possible.

certainly.

“Bjorn has arrived.”

When the thought reached that point, Rotmiller stopped walking.

At some point, there was a dead end in front of me.

The corner point at 11 o’clock closest to where the boss room was.

Simply put, the place where the second mid-boss is located.

Click and click.

As Rotmiller operates the mechanism, the wall slides aside, revealing a hidden space.

Fire.

The stone chamber lit up with torches as soon as you stepped in.

There was only one difference from the 7 o’clock corner where ‘Baphomet’ appeared.

“Ugh, I think it would have been better there then.”

A stone chamber where piles of corpses with eyeballs pulled out instead of goat heads piled up like a mountain.

I pushed through the stench and dripped a drop of blood onto the magic circle.

“The devil in the labyrinth detects blood.”

Okay, I got one for now.

***

「You have defeated Argos. EXP +5”

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

***

In addition to the middle boss room, there are many hidden spaces in the maze of Larcas.

The rewards are different for each.

One-time consumables may be hidden or rare monsters may appear.

Well, there’s something else I need.

‘Is this a bad thing again?’

After defeating ‘Argos’, we focused on searching the surroundings and finding hidden rooms.

Not only did I not have enough time to go catch another mid-boss…….

I have to find ‘that room’ for my plan.

‘Hoo, but I’m still pretty good at finding them.’

With Rotmiller at the forefront, I decided to search for the hidden room, and it was discovered once every two hours.

It was thanks to the sixth sense stat that went up dramatically after the dragon slayer party entered. Rotmiller found it like a ghost.

The problem is that the room I want hasn’t appeared yet.

[05 : 30]

Time passed like that, and it was around the time that the 12 hours I promised with him were coming to an end.

“Pause for a moment. I feel something strange.”

Rotmiller stopped the group and searched the surrounding walls for a hidden room.

slither.

A three or four pyeong stone chamber with no monsters or hidden treasures.

After checking only the inside, I closed the stone chamber on the road.

‘I found it.’

Finally, all the first preparations for the plan were assembled.

So I stopped the party and took a break.

“Everyone, rest for a while. I’ll stand by for the night watch.” “Shut up?

What the hell is

this room for? ”

“…I see.”

Even the dwarf abandoned his doubts at my determined voice.

No, rather than abandoning the question, it would be closer to trusting me and deciding not to ask.

“Huh……”

I let out a long breath at the same time as my tired colleagues closed their eyes.

Even if the other kids are like that, the thought of talking to Rotmiller already makes my head hurt.

Starting from summoning the mid-boss by dropping drops of blood onto the magic circle, until now. There were so many parts that I couldn’t understand to say I saw it in the book.

‘Anyway, I’ll think about this later……’

He took another long breath and erased his worries about the future.

It’s going to work out somehow.

Yes, if only I could return alive.

I decided to focus only on the present moment and organized my thoughts for the last time.

[I heard there might be a portal in the center? Aren’t they going there?]

The reason they didn’t go to the portal was simple.

He’ll be there for 12 hours anyway.

If you think you’re just going and running away, the 12 hours you’ve earned will be useless.

I decided it was right to prepare at that time.

But…

‘It must have started looking for us soon.’

The promised 12 hours are now over.

Fortunately, the first preparations were completed on time, and thanks to that, we were able to take at least a bit of rest until he arrived.

But the situation is still grim.

‘The success rate is less than 10%.’

This is the only possibility I have looked at soberly.

Of his essence, only six are known. Two or three veiled essences remain as variables, and the biggest stumbling block of Karui’s High Priest remains the same.

That’s why…….

Kwak.

I took out a brilliant red jewel and held it in my hand.

It was swallowed and used as a hostage, but as soon as safety was confirmed, it was vomited using [Giant].

It is the final reward of the Larcas maze and the item that the worst criminal with the alias of a dragon slayer would have been desperately looking for.

‘Controlled wishes.’

I didn’t want to write now if possible.

This item must be applied to a rank 4 Guardian Essence for maximum effectiveness.

But if you die anyway, you won’t be able to use it.

‘As expected, I have no choice but to write.’

I made a decision.

I also do not know how things will develop in the future.

And this stuff can’t be used now.

“…….”

This quiet time, like the eve of a storm, will come to an end soon.

It is better to prepare in advance if possible.

Even if I wanted to write at that time, I wouldn’t have the time to do so.

‘It’s a bit of a waste, but…’

He energizes his hand.

Kwajik-!

A jewel that splits while emitting a brilliant red light.

when you come to your senses.

“The character uses ‘Restrained Wish’.”

“The character moves to the Room of Balance.”

I was standing in an unfamiliar space.

***

Fire-!

A single flame rises to light up the space.

I took a step and looked around.

Turbuck.

A stone chamber resembling a tower in the sky.

The flames that floated in the air shimmered bluish, illuminating the three stone gates on the edge.

‘that’s interesting.’

Actually, it was like this.

In the game, all you had to do was manipulate the keyboard and choose what to choose.

“Select the essence you want to replace.”

I carefully observed the unique mural painted on each stone gate. It wasn’t even painted, but it wasn’t hard to recognize.

Turbuck.

A terrible monster with rotten arms and legs moving tightly together.

‘This must be a corpse golem.’

Something in the form of a man with sharp fangs and sharp claws with red eyes expressed in red jewels.

‘This is a vampire.’

A muscular warrior roaring with a gigantic flag.

‘This must be an Orc hero.’

Each door represented the three essences I had absorbed so far. There were no instructions, but it was clear what to do.

If you open the door you want, the essence will be replaced.

‘Controlled Wish’ is such an item.

A gacha-type item that changes Essences of Grade 4 or lower into random Essences of the same grade.

Turbuck.

Without hesitation, I headed for one of the doors.

Well, I’ve already decided what to choose.

‘Orc hero.’

Of course not.

It’s rank 5, but it’s a core essence that also belongs to my final composition.

‘Corpse golem.’

Pain tolerance was surprisingly useful, but in fact, it doesn’t help me much just looking at the ability.

So, I saved it to delete it later when the essence is full.

But this also passes.

Why did he do such a wasteful thing to apply ‘controlled wishes’ to a 7th grade essence?

‘vampire.’

Soon after, I stood in front of a stone gate with the shape of the monster drawn on it, and I stretched out my hand in front of it.

Skillsets and stats that match the tanker.

In addition, since it was obtained by killing a rift guardian, it is a rare essence with all three skills attached.

Because there is a hidden element in ‘Controlled Wish’.

「I chose the essence of the vampire.」

「The essence of the guardian.」

「The grade of the selectable essence increases.」

When offering the essence of the guardian as a sacrifice, the grade of the essence that can be selected increases.

To put it simply, it is possible to obtain a level 3 essence by offering the essence of a level 4 guardian.

‘Maybe that bastard is this case. Considering that he came all the way here because of this one thing.’

I did too when I was playing the game.

When I ate the Guardian Essence, which was of a high grade but not suitable for my character, I went to the maze of Larcas and aimed for the gacha.

But a 5th level Guardian. I never thought that I would use this item with a useful essence for me.

“Whoa…….” He

struggled to clear his lingering feelings and went through the open door.

Before I could take a few steps, the straight aisle ended, and three stone gates appeared as flames burned.

Roaring!

As an item with a balance concept, each of the three stone gates had a physical-mental ability type monster drawn on it.

Up to this point, it was no different from the usual case.

But what the heck is this.

“This is an essence that no one currently possesses.”

“The Guardian of Balance acknowledges its rarity and presents a new option that fits the value.” As I

looked at the mural, I stood still.

First choice was this.

A skeleton mage with a staff in one hand and a box of red jewels in the other.

Tier 4 monster lich.

A typical ‘supernatural’ monster that possesses a passive skill called [Soul Box] and several destructive active skills.

It’s not a problem until here.

It’s just that I can’t understand the jewels on the door.

‘……Rainbow color?’

Previously, corpse golems had black jewels and orc heroes had green jewels. So I assumed this meant the color of the integer.

But is it rainbow colored?

Isn’t it the same color as the jewel on top of the vampire’s door, which was the Guardian Essence?

‘Then the true guardian’s essence has emerged?’

I quickly checked the rest of the doors.

Tier 4 Monster Soul Goddess.

A spirit-staying monster with no stats such as strength or agility, but with no mental stats.

Likewise, the color of the jewel signified the guardian.

Of course, this could have been ‘lucky’.

It’s very rare, but there have been times when Guardian Essence has popped up as an option.

But…

‘This can’t be a coincidence.’

The last option given to me.

After confirming the flesh-type monster, I acknowledged it.

It’s not like ‘luck’ at all. It’s just that there were still elements in this game that I didn’t know existed.

Fire-!

The jewel reflected in the flickering flame was red.

In other words, it is not the essence of the Guardian.

But what does that matter in the current situation?

Turbuck.

I walked toward the door like a man possessed.

Unbelievable, but the mural on the door meant only one thing.

Turbuck.

Tier 3 monster.

It is also a boss-level monster that acts alone.

To put it simply, it is a monster that can only be defeated by conducting a raid made up of 3rd and 4th grade explorers.

It was the monster that boasted the best specifications among ground monsters in terms of its physical bullet ability.

‘Ogre.’

I opened the door without hesitation.

Hallelujah.
