Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The main fun factor is to strengthen the character in the form of collecting experience points, eating essence, and acquiring equipment.

Usually, characters are raised by eating essence and supplying experience points to go to the next level.

That’s because experience is granted only on the first hunt.

If you don’t grow your character with essence, the next experience level itself is impossible…

‘Somehow, there was never a blockage in getting to level 7.’

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that he ate a level 7 corpse golem and a level 5 vampire orc hero essence in the beginning.

It was because that alone was a specification that could be passed on only by supplying and receiving experience in the lower floors. In the middle, it was great to eat ogre essence with ‘restrained wishes’.

It also helped that the royal family was at war.

[Transcendence] of ‘Bayon’ obtained as a major was also an essence to start farming at this time.

‘In that sense, this is the first time that growth has been blocked…’

Oh, of course, the reason why growth is blocked is not because of my lack of ability. It’s just that in order to get stronger, you have no choice but to go up to the 7th floor, but you can’t go there because it has turned into a battlefield.

In fact, if you reinforce the clan more, it is a specification that will not be too difficult to start Nogada in Bellarios right away.

Therefore…

“How long do I have to wait for Bjorn? The monsters that appear here are too weak and not fun!”

The main of this exploration was taken as a sub-raid.

Again, it was the best choice.

Someday, you can spend some time collecting the experience points of the monsters you need to hunt while matching your hands and feet with each other and even eating the essence if it comes out during the raid.

Currently, all four of us have one integer square left.

“Be patient. As I said before, the essence that comes out of this is what you need.”

The monster you want to hunt now is an essence that can be usefully used when Einar eats it. It’s inferior to a graduation essence, but if you eat it right away, it will become 30% stronger.

“Well, even if that’s the case…”

However, Einar didn’t notice it.

Well, it’s hard to believe that the essence from the second floor will be of use to you now—.

“Well, shouldn’t it be level 5! Can’t we just keep going up? Shouldn’t a stronger enemy come out so we can show you! How strong I’ve become!”

Ah… that’s just the problem.

He concentrated on chewing the jerky, letting it flow through one ear.

And how long has it been?

“Yandel.”

Amelia, who was resting with the automatic mob hunting turned on with the summoned body, called me.

At the same time, Erwen spoke.

“There are other people approaching.”

“Yes, as I said, someone is on his way here. The number is—”

“Twelve.”

“…….”

Huh, making the listener uncomfortable…….

Please don’t compete with something like this.

“I’ll be there in a couple of minutes.”

“Right.”

After waiting for a while after that, a team of 12 explorers appeared from the darkness.

Well, should I say clan, not team?

For an explorer I encountered on the second floor, the equipment was pretty good.

“…….”

“…….”

Short encounters in which each other explores each other.

Soon after, the man who was presumed to be the team leader looked in our direction and spoke to us first.

“…There must have been a passenger.”

It was a word that let them know that their goals were the same as ours. Well, the guy we’re trying to catch is well known.

As long as the goal is the same, the solution is also simple.

“Yes, there are passengers, so you guys go away.”

In technical terms, ‘Jariyo’.

“…….”

As we claimed ownership of the preoccupied hunting grounds, the leader of the other side looked around at us while licking their lips.

In the past, as soon as I saw it, I would have been wary.

But now it just didn’t matter.

“It’s a pity.”

What will you do if you regret it?

“You should consider yourself lucky just to have met such a famous person. May Lapdonia bless you. Baron Yandel.”

They turned their backs and left without a word, as had the previous three teams.

And how much time has passed?

“The character has defeated the sandworm.”

“The character has defeated the sandworm.”

“ The character has defeated the sandworm…….”

“…….”

After killing and holding the sandworm, the condition was finally satisfied.

“Oh the earth shakes!”

The desert shakes as if an earthquake had struck.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A sandstorm that blows in as if blocking the escape route.

Soon, a huge earthworm rises from the ground opening its mouth.

「A death worm appears.」

A rank 5 monster death worm.

It has the characteristic of always appearing as a high-ranking mutant, with its haunting place being on the lower floors, so I often put it in the first place when making ‘Experience Run’ routes.

[Kiye Ee Ee-e-!]

The guy who came up on the ground (?) Only laid us down with a creepy roar.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Einar, who did not lose, shouted and jumped high into the sky.

Unfortunately, it was a step too late.

「Amelia Reignwales cast [Power of the Abyss].」

「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia cast [Rupture]

」 collapsed on a grain of sand.

“You have defeated the Death Worm. EXP +5”

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

I didn’t expect it to be a 1 second cut.

“Are you weaker than you thought?”

“Mister! I did it!”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you see my sword cut his body in half before the arrow did?”

“But it was my arrow that blew the whole head off.”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What the hell is this! I’ve waited so long!!”

Oh, the water didn’t come out.

***

After defeating the Death Worm, we left the rocky desert and came down to the 1st floor of the Crystal Cave again.

The reason is simple.

It’s been three months since I went to the ‘Green Coal Mine’.

Now, it is possible to enter the crack on the first floor again.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t been around here yet.’

In fact, if you think about it, not all other floors are money. Since I almost skipped the lower floors, the only places I’ve been to so far are the White Temple on the 3rd floor and the Doppelganger Forest on the 4th floor.

Since the time I stayed on the second floor was extremely short, I had never even experienced the effect of cracks opening.

‘I wonder if I can go this time…’

Well, I’m not sure. The exploration plan for this time includes entry to the 2nd floor rift, but a rift is a place where you can enter if you want to.

“Ha ha ha! It’s been a while here! I feel nostalgic for some reason! Isn’t it Bjorn?”

These were the words Ainar said as soon as he arrived in front of the Great Sage Monument located in the center of the Crystal Cave.

Well, maybe he feels that way too.

I had similar feelings when I came three months ago.

Einar and I first opened a rift here and we met Raven and the dwarf for the first time there.

Separately, it was also the place where I suffered for several days after being besieged by the Noarks.

‘That was also three years ago by the way…….’

I lost a lot of time going back to the past, but even taking that into consideration, a lot of time has passed.

It feels like it really happened a while ago.

Took.

Soon after, when we placed the level 8 magic stone we had gathered in the rocky desert on the altar, the portal opened and we hurriedly entered it.

「The character has entered the 1st floor rift.」

The last rift on the 1st floor that I haven’t cleared yet.

“This is the ‘Steel Grave’…” As

Erwen lights up the fire with a spirit, a claustrophobic hallway unfolds in front of him.

I felt as if I had entered the inside of the pyramid I saw in a documentary.

Of course, there were obvious differences from the pyramids.

The walls of the corridor with mural-like patterns were all made of metal.

“Mister, what language is this? This.”

“Well. I don’t know.”

“Hahaha, don’t you think Aruru would have liked it if he saw it?”

“Stop the small talk and move on.”

There is no reason to waste time, so I started exploring the rift.

Ah, Einar stood at the forefront.

It was because she insisted on doing it herself…….

Amelia and Erwen were also curious about Einar’s skills, so they just let it go.

In fact, I also wanted to see some.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Einar, who served as the vanguard, began clearing the rift in an instant.

Originally, ‘Steel Grave’ was supposed to dismantle traps and steadily find the way to the final chapter, the tomb, but it was meaningless to Einar.

Traditionally, it is more efficient to step on traps than dismantle them.

As long as your body is strong.

“Einar left there!”

“Ooooooooooo!!”

When I pointed out the way from behind, Einar ran, stepped on the trap, and smashed the monster with his great sword.

Kwaaang! Quaang! Wow!

It was a considerable performance as a greatsword warrior specializing in Western studies.

「Einar Pnellin cast [Repeat Slash].」

「Same part hit.」

「[Scar from Explosion] is activated.」

A basic combo that synergizes with [Repeat Slash].

However, even in the midst of this, the growth over the past few years is clearly evident

. 「The power of [Scars of Explosion] is doubled by [Mandel Oil].

” integer of

And…….

「[Residual heat] is activated.」 「Inflicts additional damage in proportion to

the damage dealt .」

Up to level 4 integers.

Kwak! Kwaaang! Kwaaang!

When Einar swung his sword once, the explosion continued dozens of times, and I, who followed, proudly watched it.

‘I didn’t know that he took care of all the essences I told him about.’

It feels like seeing a disciple who has done a great job on vacation homework. All resistance values were recommended with essences that were well attached, so it was okay to step on traps or get hit directly by monsters’ abilities.

Well, even if you get hurt, you’ll get better soon.

「Einar Fnellin has cast [Wings of Greed].」

「Natural regeneration is greatly increased.」

Einar’s setting is relatively low in soul power consumption as the deal comes out of the passive.

Excluding the usual [Repeat Slash], one special move is all.

Therefore, it is not too much of a burden even if you leave the healer on and carry around…….

「You have killed a grade 8 monster.」

「Recovers soul power in proportion to the grade.

」 All you have to do is fill up both MP and HP.

Even looking at it, it looked like it had a 6th level stamp on it.

After

“I’m battling a grade 8 monster.”

“The body value continues to rise in proportion to the grade.”

The more I fight, the stronger I become, which is exactly the type of Barbarian warrior I wanted.

‘……It would be fun to fight like that.’

Watching the thrilling battle, I strangely felt a sense of deprivation, but I soon abandoned my lingering feelings.

Because Shield Baba has the taste of Shield Baba.

In the first place, [Dungeon & Stone] is a game where you can’t do anything if the main tank doesn’t support you properly.

It is possible to raid without a priest or wizard archer, but the main tank cannot be replaced.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Anyway, we didn’t have to do anything more, just followed Einar’s back, and as time passed, our first hunting experience steadily accumulated.

「You have killed Mummy. EXP +1”

“Iron Cavalry was defeated EXP +3”

“Varidean was defeated EXP +2”

“Guardian’s Eye was defeated. EXP +2”

“Iron Lizardman has been defeated. EXP +3”

“The mystery gatekeeper has been defeated…”

“…….”

Also, we found the two hidden pieces hidden in the middle and ate them all together.

「The character has taken Mercurial Liquid.」

「Permanently increases Exorcism by +3.」

「This effect does not stack.」

「The character has received the Blessing of Iron.」

「Permanently increases Physical Resistance by +3. ”

This effect does not overlap.”

It’s a rift on the 1st floor, so the stat increase is small, but if you accumulate it, it will increase considerably.

「The character has entered the Steel Tomb.」

Despite doing all that and exploring, it didn’t take long to reach the boss room.

Well, I think it took about 3 hours.

‘It’s definitely faster to hunt in 3 hours alone.’

This seems to have proved his ability enough, but Einar was not satisfied with it, so he went through the boss battle alone.

And…….

「You have defeated Ildium, the Iron Man. EXP +4”

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

“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP +3”

The moment the brief boss battle ended.

Befitting an explorer who is synonymous with greed, everyone’s gaze turned into a halo of light and gathered at the corpse that began to disappear.

Oh ah ah-

there was no essence.

It was the same with crack stones, which were sold at a reasonable price.

But…

“…a flower?”

“Huh? Are there flowers among the Numbers items?”

A number item was dropped.

No.9999 Beginner’s Luck.

That’s incredibly rare too.
