Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian
Chapter 35

Episode 35 Warrior (3)

My head is white and my eyes are blurry.

ache? Not to mention.

It feels as if the whole body is being pickled in salt water while being ovulated.

I want to put everything down right away, but…

‘Shit.’

Even if you force your weak heart, you throw it away.

When faced with a crossroads, man must make a choice.

What to give away and what to keep in return.

Fu-wook!

Something sharp stabs deep in the thigh.

Okay.

Isn’t it a part that will be life-threatening right away?

However, I wondered if I had a hard time seeing the prey that would not die no matter how torn it was.

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

The movements of the vampire cub became more violent.

But I still have work to do.

Raise a shield that has been cut and torn and reduced in size by half to protect only vital points.

Blah!

The shield that could not withstand the attack of the 5th grade monster was ripped off leaving only the handle.

Without a second thought, I raised my arm instead of a shield to protect my head.

that instant

Clink!

Something that is not a fingernail hits the top of my head and shatters, pouring out sharp fragments.

“The ‘essence of the corpse golem’ permeates the character’s soul.”

The pain dulls in an instant.

“Pain resistance increases by +70.”

New vitality dwells in a body that has reached its limit.

「Muscle strength increases by +15.」

My eyes, which had been foggy as if there was fog, cleared.

The first thing I saw was the vampire’s sharp claws swinging over his arm wrapped around his head.

As soon as I saw this, I unconsciously imagined my own arm being completely cut off… but

what actually happened was completely different.

Awesome!

The fingernails dug into the delicate flesh all too easily.

But that was all that was allowed.

Kakak!

A nail that is blocked by a bone and cannot go any further.

Only then did I realize

What is the identity of this mysterious power?

「Bone strength increases by +55」

「Poison resistance increases by +12」

「Cognition decreases by -5」

「Appetite increases by +9」

「Weight increases by +21」

「Passive skill [Acid bodily fluids] ] causes the character’s blood to become acidic…”

I felt both relief and sadness at the same time.

‘Did I feed the essence of the corpse golem…….’

Due to this, my training method will have to go through a huge revision.

However, if you look at the present with a short-sighted gaze after a long time…….

It is very positive.

chances of survival increased.

Tadat!

I rolled on the floor and stood up from my seat.

Is it because of the effect of pain resistance?

After the pain problem was resolved to some extent, there was nothing I couldn’t move.

‘But what about the essence of the guardian? Since I ate the essence of the corpse golem, will it be nullified?’

All of a sudden, the thoughts that crossed my mind were thrown away.

That’s something you can think about later.

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

The suddenly fresh prey seems to be strange, but the vampire enthusiastically rushes in.

My body also moved to avoid it, but what happened afterwards was not much different from before.

After all, it was impossible to overwhelm a level 5 monster just by eating one level 7 essence.

The meat shield, which had been beaten while lying down, was now able to stand up and move.

‘That’s probably the only thing that has changed.’

Even as I gave my masochistic self-evaluation, I chuckled.

Fu-wook! Awesome! Kakak!

Fingernails rip through the flesh and tear through the intestines.

The regeneration speed is slow as if all the potions that were swallowed in the mouth and stored in the stomach have been digested.

But it doesn’t matter.

Even the passive wizard started pouring out his wealth, perhaps realizing that his life was in danger.

Clink!

A glass bottle flies in and breaks, pouring its contents over me.

「The body regenerates quickly due to the recovery (upper) effect.」

Could it be an advanced potion?

Looking at the cancer alone, the effect is better than the potion fed by the blonde.

Chiyiyi profit!

Rather, a wound that begins to heal faster than before.

I actively ran towards him.

What if the flesh is cut and the muscles are torn?

It’ll be better in a few seconds anyway.

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

“Waaaaaagh!!!”

I shouted out so as not to be pushed back by the vampire, and went into super-close combat.

Well, there was no choice.

The hammer is far away and the shield has become a pile of scrap metal.

“Kyaaak?!”

As if he had never met an explorer who used ground technology, he was very embarrassed as he clung to his back like a cicada and put pressure on his neck.

Um, are you in pain, not panic?

“Kyaaaak!”

Smoke billows from where the flesh touches.

Chiyiyi profit!

It was impossible to tell exactly whether it was the smoke from the acidity of my blood touching him or the smoke from healing my body with the potion, but… it doesn’t

matter.

‘It’s probably both.’

Even in such a confrontation situation, another bottle of potion flew and ‘clink!’ It breaks with a sound.

“The body regenerates quickly due to the recovery (phase) effect.

”

As soon as the potion was broken, the choking vampire let out a louder scream and threw me away so easily.

An overwhelming strength difference that can be clearly felt.

But …….

“Seaba is not a big deal.”

Slowly the path begins to show.

If you are in this state right now, barbarian immortality mode, you can hold out against this bastard for a few minutes.

I’m so sure

“Bjorn! I’ll help!”

Even Einar rejoined the battlefield.

“Murad?”

“The porter is taking care of it!”

Einar’s joining had a more positive effect.

I take on the role of the main tank while eating potions, and Einar creates time to breathe by swinging his greatsword whenever it is a little dangerous.

Combat made easier.

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

“Einar! Avoid! Crows will come soon!”

The moment Einar took a big step back at my cry.

Its body turned into hundreds of crows and flew away. However, it did not reach us who moved first.

“As expected, Bjorn is amazing! How did you know this was coming?”

That means he always squinted one eye before writing this.

Rather than a racial characteristic of vampires, it felt like a habit that only worked for this guy.

It really seems like the end is in sight.

“I have no face! Everyone endured well! Hahahaha!”

Soon, even the dwarf who healed his injuries with potions joined the battlefield again.

A situation where even the carrier guy was brought along.

“From now on, I will help too.”

“We will be by your side to assist you!”

The main tank role naturally became something I continued to perform.

It doesn’t feel like everyone is giving up.

I really think it would be more efficient that way. The 3rd year Dwarf Warrior said to the 2nd month Barbarian.

“Bjorn, the son of the great warrior Yandel! You can do it well enough! Hahaha!”

It seems to be a compliment to me, but…

‘It means I have to roll like a dog until the end.’

After all, am I just a sucker for honey that I can’t do for the rest of my life?

I don’t think there’s anything new about it.

“Behel—laaaaaa!”

With the formation centered on me, the four of us were fighting the vampire, and soon the starting point we had been waiting for so desperately arrived.

[It’s done.]

If I say I’m done, if it means that I’ve finished restoring my magic, finished chanting the ‘Dark Point’, and even finished ‘strengthening attributes’… then it must mean that I’ve finally got

everything ready.

In other words, it’s time to go outside after this long dogfight.

[You can use magic anytime.]

The moment I heard the definite answer, I shouted loudly.

“Murad! Now! Use ‘Blitz Discharge’!”

An order without a single mention, let alone a promise.

However, the dwarf immediately carried out my instructions without any fuss.

Support position Support position!

A yellow light flickers on top of the dwarf’s hammer, and sparks begin to fly.

「Hikurod Murad cast [Lightning].」

The ability of Ilatrek, a 7th grade monster.

The effect is to allow a strong current to flow through a part of the body.

In that state, the dwarf raised the hammer low.

As if trying to lift up.

“Everyone better get away for a while! Ha ha ha!”

After a brief warning, the dwarf swung the hammer into the air with all his might.

Away from the target vampire?

Little things like that didn’t matter.

「Hikuro Murad has cast [Release].」

In [Dungeon and Stone], one of the rare ‘transformation system’ abilities is ‘Release’.

The effect is to allow the ‘energy’ acquired through other abilities to be ‘expelled’ to the outside.

Whoa!

The electric current stored in the hammer was shot like a cannonball in the form of a sphere and

exploded as the word said.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

Compared to the sound, the physical power was low.

There were never any craters on the floor or the vampire’s limbs being ripped off.

However…

「Vampire Duke Cambormire has fallen into a [fainting] state.」

In the first place, the core of this combo is not power.

In an instant, he left behind the dwarf who turned the 5th grade monster into a groggy state and sent a signal to the rear.

in a very analog way.

“Raven——!!!!”

Fortunately, the signal was transmitted well, and the strong light immediately condensed on the roof about 200m away.

I hurriedly took out the item I had hidden in my boot.

A small jewel the size of a fingernail, ‘Tears of the Goddess’.

Even in so many crises, it’s what I’ve been saving and saving for this moment.

Tadadat!

I grabbed it and ran away.

And after he shoved it down his mouth.

Fuck!

I hit the uppercut as hard as I could and closed it.

Kwajik.

There was a sound of something breaking, and soon a white glow burst from its mouth.

「Tears of the Goddess have been destroyed.」

「[Grace] is given at the location of destruction.」 「By [Grace]

, all of Vampire Duke Cambormire’s resistances are temporarily sealed and it takes a lot of damage.」

Blood flows like crazy from the corners of your mouth.

It looks fine on the outside, but it looks like shit on the inside.

It was amazing again.

Also, this one doesn’t work.

「Due to the strong shock, the Vampire Duke Cambormire’s [Stunning] status is adjusted to [Paralysis].」

His fingers flinch as if the stunning is over.

‘Is it yet? It shouldn’t be too late…….’

The moment I turned my head backwards with that thought in mind.

「Arua Raven cast the 6th grade attack magic [Black Spot Sphere].」

As if a dazzling orb shimmering in pitch black passed right in front of my nose.

Regrets came later.

Kwaaaang-!

Ah, the old Tulle girl…….

***

「The character gets caught up in the explosion of the [Sunspot Ball] and falls into a [Stunning] state.」

「The vampire Duke Cambormire cast [Pain Sharing].”

「Hikurod Murad falls into a [passed out] state.」

「Einar Pnellin falls into a [passed out] state…」

***

Beep-.

Like a terrestrial channel after the national anthem ends, a crisp sound resonates in my head.

And I hear the sound of talking through the tinnitus.

Conversation in a tone similar to that of a rakugo on TV.

[What if the butcher sells grilled meat!]

[No! This is raw meat!]

[No, I baked it, but how can this be raw meat!]

[But…]

I opened my eyes while listening to their conversation.

[You’re alive, right?]

I could see the dark sky.

His nose smelled of grilled meat.

Is it my body odor?

“Geoheo tuk…….”

When I opened my mouth, a scratching sound came from my parched throat.

Your ears are fine too.

I decided to think only of the positive aspects.

“Keahhhh! Wow!”

The offensive magic ‘Black Spot’ with the sun attribute that is a combination of fire and holy attributes.

Of course, its power is weaker than that of the ‘Fireball’ of the same class.

That was the lucky part for me.

If it wasn’t for that, I could have really died on the spot.

‘But why is it so quiet…?’

I got caught up in the ‘black spot’ and temporarily passed out.

It was clear, but it lacks information to understand the current situation.

Why haven’t I been cured yet and I can’t hear anything around me?

“…….”

He stood up as he touched the ground with his hands full of ooze. Then, I forced my eyes to focus and checked the front.

Once I saw a vampire cub.

“Fuck.”

why is that alive

Of course, that bastard is also in a state of ruin.

Both arms were torn off, and bones were visible from the upper part of the chest that was dug up.

He didn’t even seem to be conscious.

But…

“The regenerative power of the vampire duke Cambormire is greatly increased by the [Eternal] effect.”

Even at this moment, the wounds are healing.

Considering that it was proportional to the lost physical strength, it wouldn’t take long for the flesh on the chest to heal and the torn arms to grow back.

“You me……”

Looking around, I see several people who have fallen.

Dwarf Einar carrier bastard.

For some reason, the wizard on the roof in the distance seems to be in the same situation…

Confused.

What kind of crap is this?

Why is everyone fainting after holding onto everything?

What the hell happened while you were losing your mind?

It looks like it hasn’t been that long.

All sorts of questions spring up, but…

I decided to put them all away and put my feet to the point where I couldn’t move.

Turbuck.

The situation is still incomprehensible.

But one thing was very clear.

what am i supposed to do now?

Turbuck.

Vampire Duke Cambormere.

We have to kill him before he comes to his senses.

Other than that, there is no answer.

No matter how rich a mage is, the potions won’t be infinite. In fact, it would be more correct to say that the strategy of holding out with potions, as before, can no longer be used.

Turbuck.

So I stumbled and walked.

Pain that pierces even the pain tolerance?

Pretending not to notice, I stretched out my legs that smelled like steak.

Turbuck.

Pain is a signal to live.

At least I think so.

It’s not like there wasn’t a time when I thought the opposite, but it’s like that now.

So I kept walking.

Turbuck.

As I got closer, I could smell the grilled meat from this vampire as well. I relaxed on my knees and climbed on top of him as if I was about to fall.

“Dog Jogat Cub …….”

The wounds of the chest, which were enough to see the bones, have already gained quite a bit while walking.

I can’t get enough of it without cursing at all.

puck!

So I hit him in the chest with my fist.

Vampires’ weakness is their heart.

Even if their brains are broken, these babies can come back to life as long as their hearts are intact.

‘Ah, that’s why this bastard’s arm was ripped off. By blocking the ‘black spot’ with your arm?’

Later, a momentary situation that I had not seen was drawn, but as always, I just let it go.

Fuck!

He punches his fist again.

More than ever, the vacancy of equipment is felt larger.

But if you don’t have teeth, you have to chew and swallow at least with your gums.

Fuck!

I don’t even know where the mace is, and the shield has long since become a waste and has been dumped carelessly around.

Of course, Einar’s greatsword and the dwarf’s battle hammer fell on the floor, but…

‘I didn’t think to pick them up.’

I wouldn’t have had the strength to pick it up anyway.

While punching down like that, the crumpled and holed seams of the half armor tore off and fell to the floor.

‘My 360,000 stones…….’

Looking at the half armor that has been stained with acidic blood and corroded here and there, it seems difficult to repair.

It would be a different part to really touch the mental.

“Fuck you.”

This isn’t pouring water into a bottomless dock.

No matter how much I hit it, nothing changes.

How strong are your ribs?

I was afraid that if I kept beating it, it would break and stab my heart.

‘Okay, give up on this plan.’

I always like to have a plan B.

Because A has rarely ever been successful.

Maybe it’s because the salesperson was so good, but no matter what I did, something like a dog always broke out at the end.

‘By the way, I’ve never done this before…….’

…Can I do it like this?

Erwen said that imaging accurately is important.

‘Flesh Explosion.’

oh it’s real

Perong!

The hand placed on his chest exploded.

The explosive power wasn’t great, but the acid mixed with the flesh and blood made a small hole in its chest.

Even that was played quickly…

‘I didn’t expect it to happen all at once anyway.’

Successively cast [Flesh Explosion].

Was it when I wrote it like that ten times?

Perong! Perong! Perong!

My left hand was completely bruised.

Perhaps because of the increase in bone strength, the skeleton was intact, and only the flesh disappeared, as if it had become some kind of skeleton.

Anyway, I can’t use my left hand anymore.

‘Then now it’s the turn of the right hand.’

Even though I thought it was something I wouldn’t do sanely, I continued to chant the spell in my mind.

After placing his right hand on his chest.

‘Flesh Explosion Flesh Explosion Flesh Explosion…….

‘

I did not know the limit and ignored the pain of breaking through the high point as much as possible.

I feel like dying, but I don’t do it to die.

I will definitely survive

Perong!

Did you write it 8 times like that?

My body was staggering.

It seems like it only needs to be done a few more times, but…

「Warning: Character’s health is less than 1%. If not treated promptly, the character may die.”

It felt instinctive.

That he had reached a realm where he could no longer endure with his mental strength.

You have to stop right now.

Otherwise, it may be possible to kill the vampire cub, but I will die too.

While I had such an intuition, reason judged.

‘Even if I quit anyway, if dying is the same…’

You can’t stop.

It is absolutely not a reason to sacrifice for the sake of colleagues.

Perong!

I don’t know if I’m going to look like a crazy bastard to someone, but…

I was sure in the moment.

Rather, it must be this way that there is even the slightest possibility of survival.

Perong!

The moment when the flesh burst once more.

「Warning: Your character’s HP has reached 0%.」

I feel that something has changed.

Should I say that it feels like something is coming out of my body, but my body is strangely feeling lighter?

Soon I realized

「The countdown begins.」

Oh, that’s it.

That which I called 回 光 返 太.

“Consumes 3 mental strength per second. (43/46)」

「Consumes 3 MP per second. (40/46)」

「Consumes 3 MP per second. (37/46)」

While receiving the feeling of being hit by a god of death behind me, I burst into the flesh again.

Perong!

Once more, his chest was dented.

But is this the fighting intuition of a barbarian?

For some reason, I could feel it more clearly than ever.

‘once.’

once in the future.

It only takes one time.

So…

‘flesh explosion.’

Instead of my now barely fleshy right arm, I pressed my chest tightly against him and fired another blast.

and at the same time.

「You have killed the vampire duke Cambormire. EXP +5」

The vampire’s body turns into particles of light.

yes you die too

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

“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP +3」

My heart was filled with excitement.

Not a psychological portrayal, really.

Having experienced it before, I accurately grasped my current situation.

“The character’s level has risen.”

“Soul power has risen by +10.”

“The maximum absorbable essence has increased by +1.”

The level has risen.

I wasn’t particularly happy.

It’s not only that time… Because

[Dungeons and Stones] isn’t a game that makes you bleed as you level up.

“Consumes 3 mental strength per second. (16/46)」

How many seconds do I really have left in my life?

I don’t know, but at the longest, it would be about 5 seconds.

‘…In the end, should I leave it to chance?’

No matter how many times I think about it, it’s a situation I don’t like.

But I decided not to regret it.

‘In-game, the chance that a guardian will spit an essence from a rift is about 33 percent.’

33%.

A chance too low to risk one’s life.

However, the possibility is so high that it cannot be compared to 0%.

‘Even if I think about it again, there’s no reason not to do it.’

As if brushing away my lingering feelings, I grinned.

I struggled from end to end.

So now we have to wait for the results.

“Consumes 3 mental strength per second. (13/46)」

「Consumes 3 MP per second. (10/46)」

「Consumes 3 MP per second……」

1 second 2 seconds 3 seconds.

As time passes, your eyes slowly close.

‘Is it a failure…….’

It’s not a failure due to a mistake.

Just wasn’t so lucky.

‘Maybe this is the ending that suits me best.’

I closed my eyes as if I was going with the flow.

I hope that when I open my eyes again, I will be back as Lee Han-soo, a 29-year-old office worker.

“Kick.”

Well, that’s not going to happen.
