Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 169 Burning (1)

The other side of the mirror.

A kind of hidden field, like the labyrinth of Larcas.

The difficulty right after entering this place is quite high.

That’s because monsters are pouring in from the start.

“Bjorn! Coming again!!”

A horde of monsters rushed in as soon as the battle was over.

The scale is different from before.

Eight rank 7 beast flame wolves.

Five grade 6 natural salamanders.

And three tier 5 plant species, redwoods.

“Is Raven magic far away?”

At the same time as my cry, blue light emitted from Raven’s wand.

“Nara Brigianu Toon!”

5th grade wide area freezing magic [Ice Rain].

The English name in the game is what used to be called Blizzard.

Whoops-!

Gray clouds formed above the sky, pouring out sharpened ice picks.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!

More than half of the monsters destroyed in one magic shot.

Of course, the 5th grade monsters were fine even in this wide area.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

A link between [Beast Eruption] and [Giantness].

Thanks to the increased threat level, monsters flock to me without having to do anything.

Why is the tank as important as the mage here?

[Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!]

I focused only on defense as I blocked the stem whip that Redwood wielded with my shield.

Also known as Barbarian Turtle Mode.

If you use [Swing], you can catch at least one of them by yourself, but…

It’s better to save your soul power.

The threat level drops when [Giantness] is released.

“First, deal with the Salamander!”

While I was in charge of the redwood set, the wizard prepared his magic for the next wave.

So, this time it’s the rest of the dealers’ turn.

Aaaaaang-!

Receiving long-range support from Mr. Bear, Einar and Misha began catching the monsters in earnest.

It took about 3 minutes to clean up the mobs.

‘Since there are only two of them, it’s quick to clean up the rubbish mobs.’

After that, the five of them worked together to defeat the 5th grade monster.

But there is no time to rest.

“……Coming again.”

A horde of monsters came after hearing the terrifying sound to finish a single battle.

We repeated the series over and over again, and it was time to fight ten more battles.

“Yandel-san, you don’t have much magic anymore.”

Raven’s magic power, which had been extensively used, was reduced to less than a third.

Of course, there were no major problems.

The first wave was almost over.

“Don’t use offensive magic, help them with support.”

“yes!”

Afterwards, Raven’s remaining magical power was used by cursing the enemy or buffing the team.

Around that time, my [giantization] was over.

It seems that Mr. Bear, who used to fire explosive arrows, also has little soul power left.

“Behel—laaaaa!!!”

Einar and Misha become more difficult for the three of us. In short, the importance of the close-knit sisters has increased.

The average DPS is also mediocre.

“Ooooooooo!! This is the battle I wanted!!!”

Einar’s excitement peaked as he dealt with countless enemies.

Like a barbarian called a fighting race, excitement was rather helpful.

‘Did he fight this well?’

It seems to be swinging a greatsword crudely, but avoids everything to avoid.

A fighting technique that is like drinking any stimulant.

‘Well, he said he also trained in swordsmanship there…’

His sense of battle itself seems to be superior to Misha’s.

Anyway, the battle was coming to an end, so I changed my formation.

“Abman now send him this way!”

Cheolwoong Iradun, who is in charge of our team’s tank assistant.

Woong for short.

[Woong-!]

Even Woong, who protected the one-hander from the rear, participated in the front line and put his strength into the front line.

It really seems like everyone is at their limit now.

The wizard’s magic power was completely exhausted, and even support was cut off.

Kwajik! Kwajik! Whoops!

Mace and sword large crossbow arrows.

It’s been a long time since I pushed myself to the limit and cleaned up the remaining monsters with just a flat hit that didn’t contain any skills.

“I think it’s over now…….”

The battle ended with the burning skull smashed with a mace.

Hundreds of magic stones on the floor.

“But was the magic stone originally this dark?”

“It’s the nature of the space here. It’s about twice as dense.”

Simply put, it means that the double event is being applied.

It took several minutes for Raven to collect the remaining mana.

Oh, one integer came out.

“If that’s the case, I’ve seen it! The guy who used to be wearing human heads has come out of the dead!”

“You mean Headhunter.”

A fire type undead 7th grade monster.

So it was coolly abandoned.

If you eat it, it should be useful, but…….

Now, there is no reason to eat it in the yard where even 5th graders hunt every day.

“Umm, throw it away…?”

At my decision, Einar stared at me with eyes full of regret, like a child who spilled candy.

because it still doesn’t work

flock.

“It’s not a good essence for you. So bear with it even if you’re sorry.”

“……I get it!”

If I pick up something and eat it, I have to erase it later, so I spend more money for no reason.

But did you like throwing away your loot?

“But wouldn’t it be okay to put it in a test tube and sell it?”

Einar shouts Eureka and brings out a new proposal.

It was sorted out in our wizard line.

“No. I can’t even pay for a test tube below 6th grade. I heard that there is only one thing you can take out of here in the first place.”

“Huh? Only one? What do you mean by that?”

“I don’t know why. But they say you can only take one of the things you’ve acquired here with ‘Distortion’ magic.”

A field trait I should have explained to Raven if he didn’t know.

“You have to choose carefully what you bring with you. Essences are also essences… I’ve heard of people getting very valuable items here.”

“It’s a precious thing…….”

I decided to take it anyway.

But I am quite curious.

Does anyone know anything about that stuff?

I asked in detail, but Raven drew the line, saying that’s all he knows.

“It’s hard to find out this kind of information through books. In the first place, I also heard it across the street.”

After all, from the 5th floor, it is classified as advanced information.

Even trivial achievements are treated as intellectual property and are not easily shared.

In the case of clans, there are even places where you can’t even mention the work in the labyrinth.

It’s not for nothing that he hangs himself on the crack gun.

“Rest for now, everyone. I’ll stand guard.”

After a fierce battle, I took a break.

Then, he checked the current situation.

“How long will it take for Raven’s mana to be full?”

“If you meditate or sleep, 12 hours. Otherwise, it takes one more day.”

“Right.”

This is why I said that melee is better than wizards only on the 5th floor. Because it takes quite a while for magicians to recharge.

“From now on, save your mana.”

“Are you going to continue exploring like this?”

“It’s not an easy place to come in. We’ll have to explore as much as we can. Maybe we’ll find the precious thing you mentioned.”

“That’s definitely true. You don’t know when you’ll be able to come back here again…”

And that’s the end of the matter.

After only replenishing our stamina for 15 minutes, we resumed our exploration.

It was a forced march, but no one complained.

Didn’t you see the magic stones and essence that were already pouring?

“It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my shoulders to my wife.”

Mr. Bear’s mouth caught on his ear.

Regardless, he is a very family man.

“Abman, is there any place where the portal is detected?”

“I can feel it faintly from far away.”

A field where the compass does not work.

I got the direction using the guide ability.

“…If you’re going the other way, why did you ask?”

Because that’s where I want to go

Of course I couldn’t say that.

“Anyway, the portal is likely to be the exit. Shouldn’t something come out if you go to the other side?”

A plausible reason for sticking around.

However, it was not wrong, so I was able to get Raven’s support right away.

“Ah! That’s right. I saw that there is a portal in the mirror.”

Whoo This is why you have to have a moderately smart character.

“Now then, let’s go.”

Around 7:00 p.m. on the 22nd.

The day is almost over, so there’s about a week left.

You have to hurry to pick the mulberry.

***

Mirror of Fire.

There is one singularity in this field.

It took a day for the monster to respawn.

Thanks to this, once the hunt is over, it temporarily becomes a safe zone.

This is fortunate in many ways.

If you were in a place where hundreds of monsters flocked to you every time, you wouldn’t be able to sleep well.

“You have defeated the Hell Guard. EXP +4”

“You have killed the Gremlin. EXP +2”

“You have defeated the Doom Warrior. EXP +5”

「Killed Chaos Bugs EXP +2」

「Killed the Flame of Destruction Fairies……」

Killing various monsters that were not able to be hunted due to the clans controlling the field, over 3 days the starting point out of the wilderness

Progress much slower than I expected.

‘The size of the map is also large, but there are too many monsters.’

Once a battle takes place, the surrounding monsters gather one after another after hearing the sound.

Of course, it’s better than the very beginning, when people gathered from all sides.

You only had to worry about enemies coming from the front, and it was possible to retreat backwards if necessary.

However, the more the forced march continued, the more HP and MP ran out, and the hunting speed itself slowed down.

There were several times when I almost got into danger because of that.

After all, I had to take a break periodically.

‘Still, the speed of opening the magic stone was insane.’

It’s not a place I used to call the Burning Zone for nothing.

A large-scale battle using magic.

Up to the magic stone double event.

Coming here really starts to feel like making money with magic stones. Until then, jackpots were all equipment obtained by killing looters.

‘After all, hunting is a sheep hunt.’

morning of the 26th.

Having camped out in front of us, we entered a new field in earnest.

Roaring!

burning forest.

As the name suggests, the fields are engulfed in black flames and burn 365 days a year.

However, the fire damage is negligible.

The distance between each tree is quite wide, and it is thanks to the [Cold Blood] that increases fire resistance.

For reference, I chose this place for three reasons.

First of all, the battle difficulty is the lowest.

“Um, is there anything more than I thought?”

“Yeah, I was a little nervous, but it seems like this is easier than where I was before. There aren’t even level 5 monsters.”

The number of objects is on the large side, but even so, all of them are grade 6 and 7.

Of course, easy means less reward.

It’s quite difficult to attack with.

There’s nothing to eat at the Altar of the Dead with a portal.

In that sense…….

You have to get it first to make it easier in the future.

It’s an item hidden in the center of the Burning Forest.

If you have this, later When you come back here, you will be able to attack the other side of the field, and you will also be able to enter the island on the 6th floor

. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

As a habit, I gave a warning, but after entering the forest, I also increased my speed. It took longer than

expected, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to arrive on time.

“The trees are all burned down here?

” We’ll rest here today.”

After repeating battles and movements all day, we unpacked our sleeping bags at the camp point around the end of the day.

And the next morning.

‘Finally out.’

Encountered a monster

“Arua! What’s his name?”

“Uh… I don’t even know.”

A monster that even Raven, who has only read books his entire life, doesn’t know its name and grade.

A monster that only exists in the Burning Forest.

There are 5 monsters connected to this forest. A rare monster that

even the clan

that controls the field of the floor might encounter once a year

This guy is guaranteed to drop an Essence.
