Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

After all, this is the best. Episode 60 Survival Rules (3)

To save time, I took off the ring right away.

No.9425 Ring of the Frost Spirit.

A number item obtained by swindling the master old man of the Artemion School.

“Now take it.”

“Eh? The ring? Why is this all of a sudden…?”

Misha, who had been inadvertently handed it over, was belatedly embarrassed with an expression of what this was.

“This is the ring I was trying to save until someone who deserves it came along.”

“But… why are you giving it to me?”

That’s because things have changed.

I answered briefly.

“Swear to your guardian spirit. As a condition of receiving this, you will continue to be with me from now on.”

The market price of the Ring of the Frost Spirit is 1.5 million stones.

However, it is an item that is difficult to find even if you want to get it because there is no sale.

If the true value of this ring was known, its price would skyrocket like mad.

“Heheh?! Bjorn! Are you crazy?!”

Misha freaked out and scolded me, but now my mind was intact.

So will you just give me this item?

I will use it for survival, but at least I need a promise to continue to follow me and help me in the future.

Of course, this is not a one-sided contract.

“The moment you receive this ring, I will stand by your side and help you with the honor of a warrior. So I want you to do the same.”

“Seriously…?”

To prove this, he gazed into Misha’s eyes and continued to speak clearly.

“I’m serious.”

A win-win in the true sense.

It is a kind of colleague oath.

And did you understand it?

Misha looked at me for a long time with surprised eyes, and then opened her mouth in a voice completely drained of playfulness.

“…It’s sudden, but I know you’re not kidding me. To be honest, it’s the first time I’ve received an offer like this, so it’s not like I’m not happy!”

“Thank you—”

“But I’m sorry Bjorn. I never thought of you that way.”

“…What do you mean?”

Misha closed her eyes tightly.

And as if he had made up his mind on something, he stared at me and gave me an answer.

“I… prefer skinny men.”

“Skinny guy…? What do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand—” ”

Hey!! That means you don’t have the charm of a man!!”

For a moment, my mind goes blank.

I didn’t even want to confess to this, but did you say it was a car?

I don’t know, but one thing was certain.

“…There’s a misunderstanding.”

“Okay, let’s do that. We have to keep going together, but the atmosphere is going to be weird—”

What did he say.

I wanted to look too snobbish, so I turned around and said that I would help, but that was a failure.

A barbarian must have a barbarian way.

“I meant to swear an oath of fellowship in exchange for this ring.”

“A colleague oath……?”

“Of course, I can end the contract at any time, as long as you get me the same ring or if you’ve given me a profit of 15 million stones in the meantime. Do you understand?”

“How could it be?! In the first place, what the hell is this ring for? It’s like saying it’s worth 15 million stones!”

“I called 15 million stones cheaply.”

“No, so what the hell is this ring—”

I said flatly.

“This ring can make your long-cherished wish come true.”

“…What? A long-cherished wish?”

“For example, now your brother won’t be able to say half a penny while looking at you.”

Was it the same story as Yeokrin?

Misha stiffens.

But after taking some time to think about it, he tries to smile awkwardly.

“Eh, do you think I’ll be fooled by that? No matter how embarrassing it is, I can’t write a lie like that—”

“It’s not a lie.”

The conversation was interrupted for a moment, and silence ensued.

Misha, who had been smiling awkwardly, stopped laughing.

No, rather, he stared at me with a cold gaze.

“This isn’t too much of a joke.”

Unlike usual, a cold, hard voice.

“I definitely gave you a chance to quit with a smile. But why do you keep lying? Your health looked ridiculous because I laughed and followed along?”

Misha bites her lips in anger.

“…I didn’t mean to tell you that.”

It was an unexpected reaction, but in fact, it may be natural.

trauma.

Wounds that would have been festering for the rest of their lives are accompanied by pain just by someone touching them.

“I didn’t bring it up to try to open your wounds. I really—” “I’ve

never heard of such a thing. How do you know something my tribe doesn’t know?”

Instead of answering, I kept my mouth shut.

It wasn’t anything to say, and I didn’t want to.

Isn’t it something that can’t be like this forever?

Let’s cut it short.

“Misha, I’ll ask you one thing.”

“Try it.”

“If everything I’ve said so far is true, would you accept my offer?”

“Still kidding—!”

After interrupting Misha’s anger, he shouted back.

“Answer me!”

Shouldn’t it be just answering the question?

Yes or No.

When I shouted and forced an answer, Misha stiffened and bit her lips again.

“…If everything you said is true, it won’t be enough even if you serve me as a benefactor until the day I die. But—” But,

what a shame.

“That’s all right.”

He took a step closer and grabbed Misha’s wrist.

“Misha Karlstein It’s hard to believe, but everything I’ve said so far with the honor of a warrior is true.”

“…what what?”

Misha looks confused.

Seeing this, I wonder if it would have been easier if I had written the warrior’s oath a long time ago, but…

well, it doesn’t matter anymore.

“So when you wake up, keep those words too.”

I pulled Misha toward me and put the ring on my finger.

And…….

Kwajik-!

He shattered the blue glass jewel attached to the ring with just the power of his hand.

「The frost soul ring has been destroyed

.

」

Waves of cold air spread across the ground.

Whoaaah-!

No.9425 Ring of the Frost Spirit.

A strange effect that occurred when this item was destroyed.

It was a virtually meaningless option because it was safe to say that there was no damage, but I made a discovery after trying this and that.

「Special conditions are met.」

If the wearer is a number of people.

An event occurs separately from the effect at the time of destruction.

「Ice Beast Scadia proposes a contract to Mischa Karlstein.」

Soul Water Contract.

The special abilities of the beastman race can be forcibly awakened.

***

「The contract has ended successfully.」

***

A gust of cold air wrapped around Misha like the eye of a typhoon.

As this slowly subsided, Misha opened her eyes.

In her red eyes, there was a complex yet somewhat futile look.

“This is so easy…… What have I been doing all this time…”

Misha, who had been spitting random words, looked at me.

Then he asked with a look of betrayal.

“What the hell is this Bjorn ring? If there’s such a thing, why didn’t my father tell me I had one!”

It is unknown whether the Beasts are aware of the existence of this ring.

But if he gave me the answer he wanted…

“He probably wouldn’t have known either.”

“…Didn’t you know?”

“Yes, it seems that a wizard studied for a long time and only recently found out about it.

This will help him mentally.

However, even with my answer, Misha seemed to be full of questions.

“Wait then how the hell did you know that? Where did you get this ring from?”

It’s not difficult to explain.

Because there are pre-made stories.

But before that, there is one thing to do.

“It would be better to put on clothes first and then talk about it.”

“…clothes?”

Misha tilts her head, then follows my gaze and lowers her head.

Then he checked his current appearance…

“Uh ah? Uh huh? My my my my why are you taking off all my clothes!!”

Mischa, who had been creaking like a broken robot, makes a noise.

“I put everything next to me, so let’s talk about wearing it first.”

“Oh, I see……”

While I was looking around for a while, Misha picked up a dress and put it on.

“You can look back too.”

“It’s fast.”

“Then let’s relax!!”

As soon as I turned around, I saw Misha in casual clothes.

A thin cloth garment worn inside the equipment.

The curved line was revealed more vividly, perhaps because it fit the body perfectly.

“Aren’t you wearing gear?”

“Before that, answer this first! Why am I naked?”

“That’s because I took it off.”

“You took the burr off?! Yes yes you?!”

“I couldn’t help it. I heard that if you do this ritual, all the equipment you’re equipped with will be blown away.”

Please note that this is a lie.

I didn’t hear it, I experienced it myself.

I worked hard, but all the equipment was initialized, so I couldn’t do anything, so I got a game over.

“…Wait a minute! Could that be why you asked that question in the first place?”

“That question?”

“I didn’t get married or anything.”

Oh that.

I honestly nodded.

“If you have a spouse, you will feel bad.”

I am a proud Confucian in Korea.

You can never do the disrespectful thing of undressing a woman who even has a husband.

However, at my words, Misha exclaimed as if it were absurd.

“I didn’t think the guy who thought that would tell me in advance!”

“I didn’t mean to hide it. But you didn’t believe me at all.”

“That’s the case…”

When he gave a reasonable reason for every question, Misha seemed to have nothing more to say.

So, you can go out strong.

“Rather, because I had to take it off urgently, there was no such hardship.

“…I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, isn’t there something I should do before I apologize?”

He looked around and stared at Misha.

The original way to show respect is to pay as much as you can.

“…Thank you.”

“Is that the end?”

Misha thought for a moment and then spoke again.

“…thank you?”

“Don’t try to get over it. Isn’t there something I need to point out properly?

” “Isn’t that something I have to say

with my own mouth?” Misha avoided my gaze with a shy and shy face, but I’m not the one who will take it for granted.

This is a rule that always needs to be clearly pointed out.

“Of course,”

I said stubbornly, and Misha soon changed her gaze.

As if the playful atmosphere had ended here.

As if she hadn’t intended to go overboard from the beginning.

She corrected her posture and looked at me.

“Bjorn is there. I… in the past… I even tried to die.”

Suddenly?

I didn’t feel that way, but I listened to the serious voice.

“It was my father who found me and saved me then.”

“I should thank my father. I guess.”

“I wish it was… but it’s not such a beautiful story. Do you know what the first thing my father said when I came to my senses? If you really want to die, go to the labyrinth and die. How much longer do you have to be the family’s shame to be satisfied?”

Ah uh uh…

You’re a far more endearing family than I expected. As I

was seriously contemplating whether I should correct the mistake I made earlier, Misha calmly continued. ”

That’s why I entered the labyrinth. Of course, I didn’t come here to die like my father said. I just wanted to run away from the house. Even without the number of souls, if I became a great explorer and was recognized, I had an expectation that my father would see me again.” A

voice with restrained emotions.

In that difficult voice, all the emotions he must have felt while growing up were only felt more clearly.

“Of course, with this, my father . I don’t know if you’ll admit me. But for some reason… now I feel like that’s okay.”

Misha looked at me and bowed.

“…Thanks Bjorn. I will not forget this favor until the day I die and engrave it in my heart and repay it.” It seemed

meaningless to doubt Misha’s sincerity now, even though it might someday be diluted as time passes.

And in that sense, the new wave is over now.

“I swear to the guardian spirit . ?”

I was listening, and asked briefly.

Misha smiled and nodded.

”

I swear to

the Guardian God

. ”

Acquire one of three abilities.Misha

was an enhancement type.

「Misha Karlstein’s body is permanently imbued with the power of the ice demon, Scadia.

” Endowed as an enemy.

As if my stomach got cold from being beaten just now.

“Ah! I hit him because he said he would hit me, but I didn’t know it would happen. Are you okay?”

Skin reddened, as if

it had been frostbitten . Seeing

this,

I smiled

.

The long-awaited means of attack is

now available, and with this, even the young monsters can be beaten

. Calm down, Bjorn! Why are you laughing like an idiot!”

“It’s nothing. So now let’s move I’ve been in one place for too long.”

After roughly tidying up the surroundings, I took Misha and moved. Then, I met a level 9 spirit monster named ‘Race’ on the way and fought it as a test.

「Race cast [Corse Flame].

” [ Flame].

Active skill that mixes dark and fire attributes.

Its power is lower than that of a 9th grade spell… It is the essence

of a vampire, so for me, who has darkness resistance, it is only hot enough to be hit.

Combat power is low compared to most ranks.

In the beginning, it’s just tricky because there’s no offensive means.

“Killed the Wraith. EXP +1”

I

used a mace sprinkled with holy water. “I feel strange every time I

hit

him

.”

Just as there are stages in the spirit imprinting of barbarians.

The soul contract of a beastman is a method of gradually growing.

Still, it was fortunate that Misha was originally a martial artist. After fighting only with fists, he felt his limits and decided to use a dagger that seemed easier to adapt to. ” Killed

a witch ramp. EXP +1″

“Killed a Dairotor EXP +2”

“Killed a low-class mutant spirit EXP +2”

Anyway, after that, I continued to wander around the forest

. Defeated all the tribe monsters in sight. Also, rested as much as possible at every opportunity and conserved stamina.

「Killed Woodman. EXP +1」

「Killed Homunculus. EXP +2」

「Killed Owl Bear. EXP + 2」

About 11 hours passed like that.

We haven’t encountered any level 7 monsters yet, but it wasn’t particularly difficult to fight against level 7 monsters. There

was no dangerous situation

.

‘Is something wrong with them too?’

Well, it may or

may not.

Rather than having a comfortable hope, let’s continue to prepare our hearts.

Doing what we can do right

away.

I tasted bitterly.

The holy water and the ice beast, Scadia.

With these two attack methods, we were able to hunt spirit dwelling monsters without any problems, but… Even so,

nothing much has changed.

‘30% I guess it’s about.’

I thought that

the probability of me returning to the city safely alive would be about that.

「It has been 12 hours since I entered the Witch’s Forest.」

「Field Effect – The Witch’s Forest is strengthened.」

「Status Abnormalities [Witch’s Eye] will be granted.」

Full-fledged survival begins now.
