Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

A young knight in his mid-twenties who rose to the vacant position after a blood knight killed the squad leader.

“If I hadn’t heard about the Ancient Refuge beforehand, my plans could have been disrupted.”

He brushed his short silver hair behind his forehead and headed down the dark stairs.

trudge trudge.

The reason why the man was in the basement of the lord’s castle instead of the eastern part, which has now turned into a battlefield, was simple.

The offer to acquiesce in this city if you approach the lord of the castle and help him wipe it out is just a justification for leading troops and entering this city.

The purpose of the royal family was separate from the beginning.

fragments of records.

According to information conveyed by Seongju’s aides, there is a strong possibility that it is always kept in the form of a necklace.

Of course, Jerome didn’t know much about this stuff.

However, as long as his life is gone, he somehow manages to return to the royal family—

Tuk.

Soon, the man walking down the stairs stopped.

This is because a body was found lying on the stairs.

The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head presumably from a blunt force blow. It was as if they had taken off their equipment, and they were almost naked.

And the time of death…

’30 minutes ago at the most.’

The man’s expression hardened as he bent over and touched the wound.

Someone broke into this place first.

There is a strong possibility that the target is the Castle Lord hiding below.

If so, is the intruder still down there?

Tadat.

Jerome quickly ran down the stairs.

Before long, I saw a wide open stone gate with a wide passage. However, the only thing waiting for him beyond that was the corpse of a fat middle-aged man.

This time, it was full of traces of being crushed by a blunt weapon.

‘I don’t know who it is, but it’s a step too late.’

Jerome licked his lips in frustration, but quickly surveyed the scene of the incident.

First of all, there were no fragments of the most important record.

Judging by the scars on his neck, it seems that he took it off by force…

‘I never thought there would be a competitor.’

For a while, Jerome turned his back and quickly went back the way he had come.

It was still too early to give up.

‘I couldn’t have gone that far in 30 minutes.’

You have to find out.

Auril Gavis said.

[The time zone observed even once does not change.]

Certainly, as he said, it may be impossible to change the future at all.

But what if there was an error in the observation itself?

What if, for example, you could make a young Amelia believe that her sister is dead? And what if you make the rescued sister hide her identity for 20 years?

So, would it be possible to save it?

The thought sent a shudder through my body, but before long I faced a huge obstacle.

[That day, my sister died holding me in her arms.]

Amelia saw her sister die right in front of her nose.

In the Labyrinth of Larcas, he saw the sight of the last flame burning, just as Dwalki had done.

How the hell am I supposed to fake this?

I can’t feel it.

It wouldn’t be easy for Amelia, who has killed countless people since she was little, to make people mistakenly believe her sister is alive or dead…

‘Something will work.’

It feels like returning to the starting point, but it’s not as depressing as before.

Wasn’t that what Seongju said in his will?

After all the work to be done, the fragment stone of the record will work naturally. In other words, I still have work to do here.

If so, what is the ‘role’ left for me?

It is so obvious.

That’s why…….

Quaang-!

After a long run, he pushed the alchemist’s door with his shoulder and entered.

Maybe it was just the door being left open…

so what?

Probability is just a number. So I’m determined to live every moment to the fullest—

“Ooooh!”

huh?

“what.”

As I broke down the door and entered, I saw an old man in a corner of the studio, startled and frightened.

It is not Marfa Ifaello, the owner of this studio.

“who are you?”

“That’s…”

I asked, and the old man started rolling his eyes.

Just looking at it, something seems suspicious…

‘Huh?’

As I was examining the old man’s attire, I noticed an unusual brooch hanging from the front of his robe.

“Are you an alchemist?”

The old man flinched at my question.

Thankfully, I didn’t have to hear the answer.

Turbuck.

Thinking that an escort might be hiding, I took a step forward, wary of my surroundings.

Then the old man stepped back and made an excuse.

“Oh misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I never meant to steal anything…”

“I see.”

Somehow, I was surprised like someone caught doing something bad.

You’ve come to steal something from the confusion.

“If you keep this a secret, the old woman will—”

There was no reason to have a long conversation.

Looking at it, it looks like they left the escorts behind because they were stealing.

Poo-!

Like a non-combatant, the alchemist didn’t do anything until I dashed and slammed the hammer into his head.

“Hey, is there a space?”

I ran out of time, so I roughly routed the alchemist’s subspace ring, and I hurriedly searched the workshop and soon found what I was looking for.

Lethe’s Blessing Prototype.

A consumable with crazy performance that makes you forget all your lifetime memories when you take it.

‘Okay then, I got the first preparation……’

Now it’s time to go see Amelia.

A world without phones. I didn’t have an appointment place and time, but there was no problem.

It’s been six hours since I fell asleep, so he’s probably by now…

‘He must be being chased.’

We need to hurry—

“I found it.”

I hurriedly turned my back at the voice I heard at the entrance, and saw a silver-haired knight.

“Give me the fragment stone of the record.”

what is this kid again

***

Traitor Ricardo Lühenprague.

A swordsman who was once called a swordsman.

Those who have seen him wielding a sword or faced him directly speak in unison.

It is different from that of the general article.

Whoa-!

A shimmering aura at the tip of the sword.

This in itself is not special.

The aura that was minimally spread to reduce the consumption of energy gave off a sharp momentum, but that was only it.

Like the aura of the ‘Knight of Light’, it does not show off its momentum like a mountain, nor does it change the shape of its aura freely like the Knight of the Moon.

but nonetheless.

Slow-!

This man’s sword is considered to be above them.

Not because of the aura, but because of the ‘way’ of wielding that sword.

“Ah! Buy and save—!”

Among the hundreds of explorers blockading the eastern region, none could properly withstand a single blow from his sword.

“You have to run…! Ah!”

If you block it, you cut it as you block it.

If you dodge it, as if you expected it, the sword will arrive at that position first before you know it.

It was a crude sword no matter who saw it.

The splendid technique sought by the knights could not be seen even after washing their eyes.

But Amelia couldn’t take her eyes off the sword.

“Eh, Emily-sama. We have to run away too…”

I felt a wall just by looking at it.

killing people.

Swordsmanship that has been constantly trained and reached its peak based on its value alone.

“What are you all doing! Don’t come quickly!”

When the one-sided massacre began, the clan leader, Felik Barker, took the members and prepared to flee.

It was something that Amelia couldn’t wait to see.

It was for this very moment that I had been hanging out with them for more than a few months.

“Felic Barker.”

“huh?”

The moment Felik Barker turned to her call, Amelia threw a thin spittle into his throat.

“……Uh huh?”

A body as stiff as a stone statue, with only the neck turned.

Amelia slung Felik Barker’s body over her shoulders.

“What the hell is this…!”

The clan members, who belatedly grasped the situation, aimed their weapons at Amelia, but there was no major problem.

“Betrayal!”

It’s not a betrayal.

Because I never thought of you as a colleague from the beginning.

Slow-!

Amelia decapitated the one who came closest.

Then, sure enough.

“…….”

“…….”

The enraged explorers secretly took a step back and seemed to be thinking about something, and then ran away, leaving behind the captured clan leader.

“Mistress I don’t know!”

“…Okay, let’s go quickly!”

It was an expected behavior.

On the other side, isn’t the ‘traitor’ getting closer and closer as he spreads a massacre?

There must have been no reason to risk his life for the clan leader.

Unlike these two here.

“……Please let go of that person.”

The moment when she looked at herself and started talking to her when she was young.

Whiik-!

Suddenly, a booming sound came from behind.

Amelia dodged it by twisting to the side, then used the rotational force to kick her wrist.

Chaeng-Grang-!

The missing sword rolls across the floor, and I see a girl holding her tingling wrist, enduring the pain.

It was her older sister, Laura Laneways.

“Amelia, let’s run away!”

As soon as Laura thought the situation was going to get difficult, she took her sister and ran away, and Amelia just watched.

Unknowingly, my heart felt tight.

After all, she knows why the two of them were trying to save Felik Barker while all the other members of the clan had fled.

It’s not like loyalty.

It’s just Felik Barker’s bet on Laura.

[Unsound contract].

All kinds of unequal contracts are included, but the core is one. Felik Barker takes all of Laura’s life force the moment he sustains a fatal injury.

So the two remained and confronted themselves.

However, as soon as I failed, the reason I ran away without looking back was…

‘Me.’

It was because of Amelia herself.

The older sister acknowledged her death in that brief moment and allowed her younger sister to escape.

hard.

Unknowingly, strength entered his chin.

only three years old.

As a child, she felt like her older sister was bigger than adults, but now she knows.

Even so, I was only seventeen years old.

He couldn’t have known how hard it was, and sometimes he would have wanted to give up and run away.

That’s why…….

Tadat.

Amelia went ahead carrying Felik Barker, who was as stiff as a log.

Slow-!

To the place where a man wielding a sword for business is chasing hundreds of people fleeing in confusion like a beast among herbivores.

“……?”

For the first time, emotions appeared on the face of the man who was expressionlessly brandishing his sword.

it was a curiosity

Well, while everyone was running away, they were running in reverse, so it must have looked amazing. Even with that long sleeve hanging over his shoulder.

Whoa-!

The aura on Amelia’s dagger turned black.

It was the conversion system ability [Power of the Abyss] obtained by obtaining the essence of the 4th grade monster Gravanich.

While this ability is active, all resources including Spirit Power are replaced with Spirit Power, and the performance is doubled.

It’s the same with ‘Aura’ that uses mana.

For Amelia, who naturally lacked mana, this ability served as a filial son.

But…

softly.

As soon as it got closer than a certain distance, the black aura returned to its original color.

It was because of the ability of the hierarchical monarch possessed by the traitor Ricardo Lüchenpraha [Speechless Spirit].

This ability nullifies all abilities within a certain radius.

Yes, so to put it simply…….

‘It’s done now.’

[Unsound contracts] also become ineffective within this.

Took.

Soon after, Amelia threw the Felik Barker she was carrying on her shoulder, and Ruenpraha cut him down with a single sword.

Slow-!

The body split in two with a short butchering sound.

I was worried in my heart, but the [Unsound Contract] was activated and the injury was not healed.

‘I guess I’ve passed the hangover……’

At the time, Amelia ran away with her sister and couldn’t see how Felik Barker died, so a sense of relief rose up.

But there was no time to think about it.

Tadat.

Having achieved her purpose, Amelia quickly retreated.

Then he, who had not said a word while slaughtering dozens of people, immediately chased after him and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know, but I do know that you used me.”

Apparently, he understood the general situation from the context alone, and seemed to be enraged by it.

But for some reason, the words the barbarian had told me before lingered in my head.

It didn’t sound particularly pleasant to hear, but…

Unfortunately, Lapdonia didn’t have such a condensed word.

‘It’s a place with a very strange vocabulary.’

Amelia uttered the word involuntarily.

“Ki Kimochi…….”

A word of thanks to the enemy who helped him?
