Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

A kind of field boss that appears when certain summoning conditions are met in each layer of the Labyrinth.

Usually, it is classified as a high-level raid above the rift because you can try it only when you have the specifications to stably go around the 7th floor rift.

At least, that was the case until the 5th floor monarch.

Tier lords on the 6th floor or higher, where the difficulty of attacking starts to jump, belong to the ‘top raid’, and from here on out, it’s safe to say that it’s just end content.

‘But actually, the first raid is a layer lord.’

It’s ridiculous considering that the ‘Doppelganger Forest’ on the 4th floor was the highest level raid.

There are even four people who can fight right now.

A number that is not even a full party, let alone a raid unit.

But…

‘There are a few 3rd grade essences, but I can do at least hitting the last hit.’

As soon as he confirmed Riakis from afar, his judgment was over.

It’s not enough to be greedy, it’s just stupid not to be greedy…

‘There’s also a promise I made back then.’

It’s like second grade, but it was a promise I made to myself.

If the next day comes when we see each other again—.

[Goooooooooo—!!!!!]

It will be different then.

“What should I do in front of Yandel?”

“Oh, I’ll be blocking you, so hit hard.”

“Is that… is that all?”

After hearing the simple order, Amelia looked at me like a madman, but she couldn’t help it.

Riakis’s 4th phase was originally like that.

There is nothing special about the attack.

You just have to press it with the regular method.

「Leaks, the lord of chaos, senses the source of life.」

Soon after entering the radius of the guy, he stopped running on all fours and looked this way.

And …….

[Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!]

I run to us with a violent howling.

The footsteps were different from Phase 1.

Dot dot dot dot-!

It’s still heavy, but it walks much lighter and faster than before.

Of course, the running speed is not comparable.

That’s because the concept of phase 4 is ‘agility’.

“Everyone, step back.”

I sent my colleagues behind and linked [Transcendence] and [Giantness].

「Your physique grows in proportion to your strength.」

If it was in Phase 1, when he showed off his bulky body, he wouldn’t even have a chin, but now that his skin is sticking to his bones, he’s roughly the right size.

It was one of the many advantages of [Giantness].

「Leaks, the lord of chaos, feels a great threat to the character.」

The ‘threat’ value greatly increases, and aggro is definitely attracted during raids.

Hey, when did you meet this guy?

A prey of the same height as you.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

[Wild Eruption] was cast and the already high threat level popped up once more and attacked.

Named Giant Shield Charge.

Kwaaang-!

A giant barbarian holding a shield and a giant monster collide in the middle, creating a roar.

profit.

Unfortunately, it was me who was pushed behind in strength.

It wasn’t particularly surprising.

Have you ever had a day or two without conscience in the basic stats of the lords?

Poo-!

I even cast [Swing] and hit it with a hammer, but he literally didn’t budge.

Since he was hit by the chin, there is a chance that symptoms of stiffness will come.

The guy who immediately swings his forepaw to punish him.

[Kiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

It was a 4-phase, so there was no way I could avoid it because the attack speed was terrifying.

There was no reason to avoid anything.

Poo-!

The body is strong because it is the same here.

Just as my hammering doesn’t hurt you, it doesn’t hurt me if I’m hit by you—.

‘……But why do my eyes keep spinning around?’

As soon as I finished checking the deal amount, I reconsidered my judgment.

It wasn’t that his head was torn off or became rags to his toenails because of his lack of resistance.

One……

‘……The head won’t work.’

When the shock is transmitted to the brain, the body staggers.

I don’t think it was like this even when I was beaten with all my might by the PE teacher in middle school…

“Bjorn!!”

I hurriedly threw away the childhood memories that came to my mind like a kaleidoscope and focused on the present.

Whoo-!

He was swinging his front paws again.

Quaang-!

Fortunately, I blocked it with my shield in time.

Also, just in time, the dealers finished forming formations.

「Amelia Lane Wales has cast [Self Replication]

」 As if he had no intention

of conserving

resources, he activated [Power of Abyss] from the beginning and started attacking Riakis’ lower body, such as his ankles and thighs.

Also at the same time.

「Einar Pnellin cast [Repeat Slash].」

Einar jumped high and struck his greatsword at his shoulder.

However, there were no explosions as usual.

That’s right, I’m not training trash mobs now.

「Einar Pnellin has cast [Beast Control].」

[Beast Control].

The very essence I recommended to Einar, who was wondering what to get for the royal family reward.

The effect of this skill is very simple.

「All of the conditional activation effects of the following attacks are converted into cutting power.」

[Scars from Explosion] [Mandel Oil] [Residual Heat].

A total of three conditional skills’ damage is converted into cutting power.

To put it simply…….

!

This means that raid mode and hunting mode can be freely swapped.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it was fatal.

A few drops of black blood flowed like oil.

[Goooooooooo-!]

Amelia, an Aura user, expected it, but Einar’s dildo is sticking better than I thought.

So now all that’s left is Erwen…

「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia has cast [Concentrated Fire]」

「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia has cast [Synthesize Elements].」

「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia cast [Rupture].」

Needless to say, dear.

“Avoid Uncle!”

He hadn’t matched up with Erwen once or twice, so as soon as he heard those words, he stepped aside and gave an angle.

and that moment.

Flash.

A flash of light in the form of a stem is fired.

Zhung-!

It was next that I heard a compressed gong sound.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

beyond the scattered light.

[Ooh Ohoh Ohooh- !!!]

I saw a crying guy and I laughed.

Erwen’s attack was also far short of being considered a critical hit.

‘Oh, the skin on my forehead is cracked in one shot.’

Dill is enough.

So, in other words…….

「Lord of Chaos, Liakis cast [Contaminated Horn].」

The raid starts now.

***

Riakis, Lord of Chaos.

Phase 1 of this guy is simple.

The field erosion caused by the passive aura [Rain of Despair] and the spirit of chaos inflicts continuous damage, and beads periodically come out from the eroded ground to restore Liakis’ health.

There is only one thing to be careful about at this time.

[Gap of Evil]

An instant kill skill that is used when a certain amount of marbles are eaten.

Destruction is easy.

You just have to run away from the floor.

The problem is that if you leave the field, the designated ‘prey’ will be incapacitated.

At this time, Riakis is attracted to the ‘prey’, and if he succeeds in defeating the ‘prey’, the basic stats increase and the difficulty of the next phase increases.

‘Well, except for this, it’s easy because it’s the end of the physical battle.’

The raid, which is a full-fledged battle, starts from phase 2.

When his HP drops below a certain level, Riakis feels threatened and opens the [Door of Chaos] to suck everyone into it.

Permanent erosion of all tiles.

High level of mind contamination.

The player has to track down and find Riakis in such a worst field and deal with the guy who has been covered with numerous battle corrections.

In fact, the most difficult point in terms of phase alone.

However, if there is a ‘torch of purification’, the story is different.

Just keep the torch lit and hold on.

After two days of game time, the [Door of Chaos] opens again and returns to the original field.

‘It’s a bit tricky to get as many torches of purification as there are people, but that’s the easier way.’

Of course, this strategy also has its downsides.

If you go to the 3rd phase with raw food, Riakis is much stronger because it is not enough to fill all the blood.

Well, though, it’s much more beneficial to use a torch, so I used a torch most of the time.

anyway.

At the 3rd phase, the spirits of chaos no longer appear on the 3rd floor.

Instead, [Rain of Despair] is strengthened.

Areas exposed to rain quickly become erosion zones and disable all equipment.

Until the labyrinth is closed, the number item completely loses its effect, and the defense power of adamantium armor is reduced to the level of ordinary iron equipment.

‘Perhaps… the jagged teeth started to fail from here.’

You can no longer use mental immunity using torches.

In that situation, you have to fight the stronger Liakis.

According to my prediction, the strategy chosen by the Cogtooth Clan here was wheel warfare. He must have managed with aggro and steadily shed blood.

‘Because if it weren’t for that, there’s no way he would have started wandering around six hours after the third phase started.’

But I’m not particularly curious about how exactly the raid failed.

There must have been an accident somewhere.

Because [Dungeon and Stone] is such a game.

A game where one small mistake can lead to irreversible consequences.

‘Still, looking at the fact that I ended up dragging it all the way to Phase 4, it seems like I’ve been preparing hard enough…’

As a result, it only became a good thing for me.

The most difficult thing about Phase 4 is that you can’t get equipment, but we don’t have that penalty either?

‘How can I just pass by after seeing this?’

Isn’t this the level that I almost passed on to eat?

Even if you get a stomachache later, you should eat first.

I don’t know if the integer will pop up or not.

If it comes out, it will be insanely comfortable in the future.

Kwaaaang-!

A blood clot that lasted for over 30 minutes.

Erwen’s arrow pierced Riakis’ left eyeball deeply.

「Leaks, the lord of chaos, has cast [Contaminated Left Eyeball].」

Okay, so are you done with both eyes now?

Whoa-!

Ominous black smoke billowing from the eyelids.

And the ghastly eye-glow that shines beyond.

[…….]

He did not let out a single moan even when his flesh was pierced and his eyeballs burst.

As if it were becoming less and less alive.

‘When the toenails grow back… Wasn’t it when there were about seven contaminated bodies?’

The concept of Phase 4 is simple.

If you continue to hit it, Riakis takes out the contaminated body and recovers, gradually becoming stronger than before.

And…

‘now eleven.’

You just need to eat one more room.

The raid ends when 12 of the 36 bodies that can be contaminated are contaminated.

“Everyone back down!”

As soon as he hurriedly sent his teammates behind him, he began to make a last-ditch effort.

「Contaminated power starts running out of control.」

A wide-width pattern that is said to have one if it is a famous boss.

From now on, it’s a race against time.

「Blessings for the pilgrims.」

「The unknown energy hidden in the chaos begins to purify the contaminated power.」

It takes about 5 minutes for Riakis to purify the contaminated body and return to its original state.

One more part must be contaminated within it—.

“Oh man!”

Then Erwen urgently called me.

what? At this point, there shouldn’t be anything else to be concerned about in the back…

“More than dozens of people are heading this way! And very quickly!”

“what?”

Dozens of people. Who are they?

Could it be that our barbarians in the shelter came to us on their own because they were worried about me?

That was the first possibility that came to mind.

But…

“…I think it’s the Sergtooth Clan!”

Cancer There’s no way the world will turn so warm.

“What?! Didn’t they fail?”

Einar shouted, unable to hide his bewildered feelings.

I felt the same way.

‘What the heck…how is the situation going?’

I don’t understand at all.

Dozens of people like that?

If there were that many people, why was Riakis wandering around alone? Could it be that the raid didn’t fail?

All sorts of questions linger unresolved.

However, in the midst of all that, one thing was clear.

‘They’re coming here…….’

This is a very negative variable for us.

Isn’t it easy to change your position?

‘When there’s only one last hit left……’

They will never just watch us hit the last hit.

That’s right…

‘…nothing changes.’

「Purification rate 1%.」

About 10 minutes left until Riakis fully recovers.

Let’s assume it’s less.

Like a simple yet brave barbarian.

“Be-helaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Oh, uncle?”

“What are you guys doing! Get rid of it quickly!!”

Because you can think about the later days.
