Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

‘I shouldn’t have done something like the Hierarchy Lord raid…’

Even if it’s not that, I just want to share the reward according to the contribution. I wish I hadn’t touched the Lord of Chaos at all.

No, in the first place…….

‘I wish I hadn’t played that game.’

So I wish I hadn’t come here.

‘This wouldn’t have happened.’

I clench my fists so hard that they bleed, and I stand up.

There was something I had to do before regretting it.

No, not exactly…….

‘It’s not the time to regret it yet.’

After realizing the way stats rise, there was one possibility that came to mind.

thus.

Swoop.

I stared out through the aisle full of corpses.

trudge trudge.

The guy was slowly making his appearance.

“That’s great. I was thinking about how to get there now.”

As soon as he showed up.

He let out a battle cry and dashed.

Tadat-!

As a character who focused on strength and resistance, I could not even imagine her fast movements.

It is safe to say that hitting the ground and reaching in front of him were almost simultaneous.

also.

Poo-!

No more weapons were needed.

Because this body itself was already a weapon.

It was so hard that no iron weapon could match it.

Poo-!

I swing my fist and put it into the guy’s face.

Whoo-!

He responded by wielding a sword wrapped in an aura, but to my eyes he looked slow as if he had boiled and eaten slugs.

Swoop.

After avoiding it, close the distance again for a punch one-two-three.

It’s like using a cheat key.

The skill doesn’t exist, but looking at the basic stats, it feels several times stronger than if [Giant] was used in full condition.

‘I don’t think he’ll get hurt much even if he gets hit by an aura in his current state…’

But there’s no reason for him to be hit by a sword in plain sight, so he unilaterally beat him while adjusting the distance.

Pew pew pew pew pew-!

I didn’t even have to hit that much.

Did they all hit about ten shots?

The guy fell to the floor and couldn’t even resist properly.

Poo poo poo-!

Just looking at it, it’s in a much more miserable state than when it was driven into a corner earlier.

But he didn’t recover like before.

This increases the probability that my hypothesis is correct.

‘Although that recovery might be a skill that can only be used once…’

As I expected, if this guy was a boss monster that could only be killed when he was left alone.

‘perhaps.’

It may not be all too late.

The moment I hit my fist once more with such determination.

Kwajik-!

His head was crushed like a watermelon.

and at the same time.

“You have defeated Dreadfear, the Lord of Terror. EXP +100”

“Bonus for defeating hierarchical lords. EXP +15”

Along with the feeling of the experience points coming in, the body of the mashed body turns into a halo of light and scatters.

‘…End?’

Could it be that all these expectations were in vain?

When my body stiffened at that thought.

“You have passed the test more perfectly than anyone else.”

“The nameless pilgrim admits defeat.”

The cave began to collapse.

「Fragments of distorted memories begin to mesh.」

I was embarrassed inside, but I watched the situation for now.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing I could do other than that. Even if you run away from the collapsing cave, nothing will change.

Deed deed deed deed-!

Inside the cave as well as outside the cave, from the sky that shoots dazzling light to the green bushes.

Everything you see is crumbling.

Just like when a monster dies.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.

A world that is shattered and scattered in colorful colors.

Eventually, after everything collapsed, what greeted me was darkness like an abyss.

It’s not just the concept of being invisible, it’s a space where you feel like nothing exists.

Fire-!

The surroundings lit up with the sound of a fire igniting.

“…….”

The place was in a dark cave.

Dozens of torches hung from the walls flickering, and a book was placed on an altar made of stone in the middle.

‘What are we going to do with this again?’

I don’t know, but once I approached it, I opened the first chapter of the book.

It was written in an ancient language, but for some reason I could read it without problems.

[If I had to draw the emotion of fear, I would not hesitate to put his face on a blank sheet of paper. Centurion Dreadfear. The existence that taught me what true fear is…]

As I concentrated on reading, my eyes flashed and the text became blurry.

It was the first experience in my life.

[Meeting him was the moment when a great cause was about to be completed.]

Memories of an unknown person began to flood in.

***

I am not afraid to die.

At the last moment, I will die greater than anyone else.

I always made such a promise, but delusion and reality were completely different.

“I, Dreadfear, promise you that all sins will be forgiven to those who prove their innocence by killing dirty pilgrims.”

He brought out a cunning proposal to us who had failed with the task at hand.

Of course, no one believed the suggestion.

All five of them closed their eyes in unison and waited for the great end, and such a noble silence filled the cave.

Throb-thump-thump-!

In the stillness, my heart beat like crazy, longing for life.

Are you really going to die like this?

Anyway, I don’t want to die.

That’s why betraying my colleagues…

“Believe me.”

What a strange thing.

Why doesn’t that short sentence sound like a lie?

“…….”

I opened my eyes that had been quietly closed.

The woman who had been given a mission and had been with me on a long journey was also looking around with frightened eyes like me.

“…….”

The moment our eyes met, I felt it intuitively.

pounding-!

That woman is on the verge of succumbing to temptation.

There’s no solid evidence, but it’s certain. How long have you known each other?

thump thump thump.

Blood began to flow to his head.

I couldn’t breathe and my vision was blurry.

shit.

Then the woman looked at me and smiled awkwardly.

I was on fire for nothing.

Doubt, once sprouted, gnawed away at the fear and was only growing in size.

[As expected… If you kill him, that guy would be nice…]

Then, suddenly, he heard the woman’s heart.

It could not be dismissed simply as hallucinations.

Come to think of it, that woman and I didn’t get along very well. At the last drinking party, we had a little argument.

Besides, where is this place?

A space where the spirit of Mother Earth dwells.

Revelation… This must be Mother Earth’s revelation.

In order to save her little child, she told me the woman’s evil thoughts.

Before I knew it, I was accepting it as an established fact that that woman was planning a betrayal and that she was going to offer me as a sacrifice.

Is that why?

“Whoa whoa whoa…”

When I came to my senses, I exhaled a rough breath and picked up the dagger.

The woman whose eyes met opened her eyes wide as she looked at me.

“You, you… Didn’t you just worry about that……? Should I kill myself or not…”

“Oh no. It’s not!”

“Don’t lie!

After saying that, I stabbed the dagger.

My colleagues spread words of hate, but I couldn’t help it.

Because if I didn’t do it, this woman would have done it first.

“Puh ha ha puh ha ha ha ha ha!”

Centurion Dreadfear.

He laughed as if he was genuinely happy to see such a day. And he said jokingly.

“Nice job. Who are you going to stab next?”

I asked back with my excited body trembling.

“Ha, if you stab one… I

‘ll let you live…” “Of course I won’t kill you. But… are you sure you’re okay? If you put down the dagger, I’ll just let them go too.” What do you think?”

It felt like it was dark in front of my eyes.

It was belatedly that I thought I had been tricked, but I couldn’t turn it back now.

thump thump thump.

My heart beat faster than ever. Colleagues saw me like that and shouted.

Don’t fall for his tricks.

Let’s come to our senses and fall into his arms with honor.

Of course I didn’t hear it.

Despite their persuasion, an ominous future was drawn.

It started as a delusion, but it didn’t take long to truly believe in the delusion.

Kwak.

In the end, I couldn’t put down the dagger.

Pooh-!

When I came to my senses, all my colleagues except me were dead. In my half-crazy state, I asked him if he was going to let me live now, and he replied.

Go.

that I will save you

I ran without looking back at that gaze as if I was looking at a fun toy. When I reached the entrance of the cave after driving nonstop for hours, I realized what I had done.

“Oh no… I am… no…”

A new fear crept up.

And there was only one way to escape from that fear.

Pooh-!

I stabbed myself with the same dagger that had hurt my comrades. As I gradually lost consciousness, I saw the centurion’s face in the distance.

“I recognized it from the first time I saw it. It would be a good material.”

He looked at me with a serious expression and called the wizard. A wizard sprinkled an unknown drug over my dying body.

Chiyiyiik-!

The pain as if a corrupted soul were being torn to shreds.

A warm energy caressed my soul in that eon-like agony. However, that energy only comforted me, but I couldn’t put my shattered soul together.

“Whoa… It’s over.”

That’s how I abandoned my pitiful human body and transformed into a new being.

An existence that possesses infinite power and power that transcends humans, but is like an empty shell with only desires and emotions remaining.

“…It’s an unusual case. It seems you still have some reason left.”

“No way.”

At the wizard’s words, he tried to hide his fear and approached me.

“Now tell me. What is your name?”

I answered.

“Dreadfear.”

“…what? That’s my name—.”

Wagjak-.

There was no more fear now.

***

“The character has inherited the memory fragment of an unknown pilgrim.”

“The ancient language can be read and written freely.”

***

I dreamed for a while Fragmentary memories,

but nevertheless, the emotions and sensations of that moment that remain so vividly.

Flash-!

The book that reached the last page was engulfed in flames, and before long it turned to

ashes

and scattered. “Dreadfear.”

Should I

call it a nameless pilgrim now?

As soon as I gained strength at the end, I chewed it up and swallowed it and stole its name

. How’s it going?’

A little… No, to be honest, I was very confused.

The raid was already over.

I could clearly feel the experience points coming in earlier.

Then, what the hell is this guy in front of me

saying ? “I have something I want to ask.”

“Why aren’t you… why aren’t you afraid?”

I thought I knew what I wanted to ask. Now

that

I know how he was born, I’m sure he

‘s going

crazy wondering . Didn’t he hear and hallucinate?

[The Prophet of Misfortune], who can see an ominous future.

In addition, by giving him the skill to read other people’s emotions, he built an environment that encourages betrayal.

But this is not the end

. I used a skill that made me believe in words unconditionally, and the moment I thought I was going to win a fight, I became full blood with my ridiculous ability.

But…

“Because there is no weakling like you among us.”

As a result, we He didn’t betray anyone.

He quietly nodded at my unstoppable answer.

“I see…”

It was very unfamiliar to me because I had never had a conversation like this with a boss monster in the game or in real life

. There was a matter.

“It’s okay, tell me now.”

A possibility that came to mind after everyone died.

“Is everyone actually alive?”

“Before I answer, I’ll ask first. Why did you think that?”

“Because the design itself was supposed to be left alone so that you can break it.”

This is so foreign.

I’ve been playing [Dungeon and Stone] for nearly 10 years, but there is not a single boss that theoretically cannot survive. Not

only that, but the concept of this guy was also one of the clues. Fear, hate

, and all, but the phrase that came out in the end was ‘to test your faith.

‘

“How can you understand the laws of the world, albeit vaguely?”

What are the laws?

It’s just big data based on experience.

“Anyway, so

what

‘s the answer ?

” It depends.”

It wasn’t the answer I expected, but the moment I heard it, my whole body

shuddered

. What do you mean by choice?”

“That’s literally it.”

He stretched out his bony hand and spread it.

Instantly, the surroundings lit up, revealing two stone gates.

“A nameless pilgrim proposes to you.

” There were two options:

“If you go through that door, you’ll get everything you lost here. It’s like waking up from a long nightmare.”

“If I go through that door on the other hand?”

“Everything will become a reality. However, you will gain something new beyond what you lost.”

Doesn’t he get tired afterward?

I understand the concept, but until the end of this shit I stared at him and asked,

”

Then, what if I break your head here?”

A player in a game full of all kinds of hidden pieces would naturally

wonder .

I’ll get something.”

“…….”

“Because that’s also the rule of this world.”

Yes, that’s right.

It didn’t take long to make a decision.
