Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The skin is red and red as if it will burst at any moment, and there are stitch marks here and there.

“Could it be… a corpse collector…?”

A sigh came out of nowhere at Amelia’s chanting.

Yes, you were thinking the same thing as me.

Speaking of Noark’s necromancer, he’s the only one.

‘If it really came in as a small elite, there’s no way this bastard would fall out.’

Abed Necrapeto.

A criminal affiliated with Orcules who has the alias of a corpse collector and specializes in many-on-one combat.

My head hurts already.

If this guy came all the way, wouldn’t it mean that he made up his mind at Noark as well?

‘I heard that the rear has never been attacked since then, so why bother as soon as I came…’ I could

n’t help but mutter, but there shouldn’t be any problem if I put off complaining until later.

Tadat.

I immediately dashed forward and struck the corpse’s skull with a hammer.

There was no need to use [Swing].

Kwajik-!

A corpse that was quickly crushed and dripped with blood.

Due to the nature of melee warriors, I had to take

advantage of this.

Seeing that he was poisoned, he must be the real guy.

“Are you okay?”

“Never mind. It’s fine.”

There was no need to get an immunity bonus with [Elementalization].

Even with the +120 poison resistance attached to Vol-Herchan, skin contact is sufficient.

Even if it’s a little itchy.

“Looks like it’s started more slowly than that……”

Feeling strange that my hypothesis was accepted, as I muttered something, I saw Erwen, who was as hard as a stone.

“……Are you alright Erwen?”

“…Yes? What did Bar just say?”

“I asked if you were okay.”

“Ah… ah! Yes…”

Erwen nodded, but his voice remained blank and his eyes fixed on the mangled corpse.

“Corpse… Collector…”

Ah yes…

Come to think of it, it must be like meeting your sister’s enemy.

It is the ruinist who killed Daria, but this bastard has a significant share in the process.

Erwen asked in a trembling voice.

“…Can I kill you?”

Can you kill me…….

I pondered for a while before answering.

“perhaps.”

Yes, it is possible to kill it if it goes well.

But…

“But today, survival comes first.”

I spoke firmly.

If you lose something again while trying to avenge your enemies, it will be a juggernaut.

I don’t know if I understood it, but Erwen stared blankly at me for about 5 seconds.

Then he licked his lips and clenched his fists.

“…Okay. I’ll do as you say.”

After that, I feel uncomfortable for nothing.

I approached Erwen and put my hand on his shoulder.

I don’t know if this will comfort you, but…

“Don’t worry about Erwen. I’m the kind of guy who needs to give back what I’ve received, so I’m the kind of guy who’s really good at it.”

“……?”

“It means I’ve never forgotten what they did.”

It started with consolation, but it was all from the heart.

Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.

Body Collector Abed Necrapeto.

Annihilator Belbev Ruingenes.

I have not forgotten my grudge against them.

just waiting for the right time

So…

“Wait a little. It won’t take too long.”

“……yes.”

Okay then, I think this is enough for mental recovery.

“Emily, but where did he go?”

Amelia answered when I inquired about the whereabouts of Alex, the deputy keeper, while wiping off the blood from her arm.

“They went inside the barracks as soon as the body fell from above.”

Um, did you go to report to Raven?

But why haven’t you come out yet?

Corpses keep falling all the while—

“You’re right.”

I heard that even a giant tiger will come when I say it.

Looking back, I saw Raven coming out of the barracks with Deputy Assistant Alex.

In a short while, his expression changed a lot.

“I should have said it more strongly when the commanding officer dismissed it lightly…”

Unusually, I regretted it.

There is nothing more wasted than dwelling on the past.

“Rather than that, what are you going to do now?”

“An order just came from the command center. They told us to lead all the troops of each unit and gather at the lake. It seems that they are planning to use the hull’s magic circle to fight.”

It’s a gathering, not a resistance.

Apparently, since they don’t know the enemy’s strength, they seem to have chosen the most conservative strategy…

“Then, are we moving right now?”

“No. I’ll wait here for a while. I’ve contacted the wizards in the Magic Corps, so I’ll be gathering here with the explorers soon.”

So, when everyone gathers, they go to the lake then.

After that, get on the boat and activate the magic circle to buy time.

I don’t know if it’s a good plan.

But it’s not because there’s no other way.

“Report the number of people.”

“There are three positively confirmed dead and two missing persons whose whereabouts are unknown!”

“There are two missing people… We can’t be delayed here because of two people who may be dead or alive. We’ll move on too.”

Afterwards, as I waited while processing the corpses, the wizards in the corps gathered together with the escort explorers.

Then it’s time to head to the lake.

「Arua Raven cast 7th grade support magic [Neutralization].」

Melee explorers, including me, cleared the way with the support of wizards and rear-level explorers.

The process of moving itself was nothing to be bothered about.

So far, at best, it’s all corpses.

There were a bunch of people who were supported by dozens of magicians, and it was difficult to stop the hundreds of yuktan-based explorers.

It was just the moment he was heading to the lake so swiftly.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

The ground shakes with a roar as if a nuclear bomb had exploded.

And…

“It looks like the magic circle has been damaged.”

The fog that had been dispelled by the magic formed again in the air and began to obscure the view.

Well, there were advantages though.

It’s because the alarm magic that used to resonate like an emergency siren has become much quieter as if it’s been smashed together.

“What are you doing? Don’t stop!”

Within a short time, Raven used wind-attribute magic to clear the surrounding fog and resumed moving again.

Before long, the lake, as red as blood, was close enough to be seen with the naked eye, and the wizards summoned small ships and floated them on the surface.

That was the moment.

“One after another we get on the boat—”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa existence of the ship!”

A man’s scream echoed from behind.

***

A scream of agony from an unknown man.

In the battle with the corpses all the way here, no one was injured, so the screams were especially loud to our ears.

Is that why?

Took.

Among the crew, Raven, who was the first to board the ship, took his half-stretched legs back.

And…

“…what’s going on?”

“Checking. It won’t be much, so go first—”

“No. I need to know. So, Deputy Halo, you’re here to lead what’s left.”

Raven ordered the others to board the ship first.

It seems that he didn’t want to board the ship alone in the absence of information……

Wow, is this the responsibility of a military commander?

I heard that Raven has a high reputation within the corps, so I think I know why. Raven was a sincere and trustworthy boss.

But the problem is…….

“What are you doing? They don’t follow me.”

Our mission is to escort him closely.

If he doesn’t get on the boat, we can’t get on either.

“……Where are you going?”

Raven gave a short answer to my question.

“The rear. Something doesn’t feel right.”

No, if you feel bad, isn’t it right to just run away?

It was when I had that thought in my heart.

“Aaaaaaa!!”

Another scream came from behind.

And…

“Vice-captain! The identity of the enemy has been confirmed!”

The situation in the rear was finally communicated to us.

Surprisingly, there was only one enemy.

However, no one took the current situation lightly.

Because that one person’s impression was very famous in this city.

“…An old knight wearing dark red armor?”

“Yes. It has been confirmed that Aurors are also using it.”

blood knight.

A criminal belonging to Orcules who was born in Bifron, started as a soldier, became a knight, and gained notoriety by murdering the former royal knight commander.

“Do you know anything about Emily?”

While Raven was talking with his subordinate, I sneaked back and got some information from Amelia, but nothing was meaningful.

Didn’t you have a lot of contacts because you didn’t do much outside activities?

They said they only saw him a few times at the lord’s castle, and they didn’t even talk to each other

…

“No. If you really encounter a blood knight, the damage will be out of control.”

“but……!”

“What’s a but? If someone needs to stop it, it would make sense for me to take it. Get on board first.”

“…….”

“This is an order.”

“…yes!”

The wizard who received Raven’s order saluted with a worried face but with a moved face.

It couldn’t have been a very heartwarming scene.

If only we hadn’t been the parties to this.

“In that sense, Mr. Erwen, will you help me only until the members of my corps board the ship?”

Raven, who had finished persuading his subordinates, earnestly asked Erwen.

“I just need to buy some time. After that, I can use multiple teleportation magic to get out.”

“Multi-teleportation…?”

Their school won’t learn this magic?

As I muttered involuntarily, Raven answered.

He didn’t even look at this side and kept his gaze fixed on Erwen.

“I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn it. If there was this… there could have been another way that day. Of course… it’s already too late.”

“…….”

“Please.”

After repeated requests, Erwen glanced at me.

They seem to be asking me to decide what to do…

“Why did that man…?”

Raven looked at me questioningly at the appearance of delegating the right to decide.

“I can’t believe they’re imitating a relationship like this…”

Well, it seemed like they understood it on their own, and since they didn’t have time, they checked only one thing briefly.

“What if we don’t follow?”

“You’ll be disciplined for violating military law. You’ll never be part of a royal event again.”

What is the threat?

But this isn’t what I asked in the first place…

“You asked what to do. If we say we won’t follow, whether we’re punished or not, are you going to go alone?”

“Ah…”

Raven pondered for a while before replying.

“It’s impossible to do it alone. He’ll probably go with the other explorers.”

Yes, there’s no option of not going.

Somehow, he’s stubborn on the strange side.

But he hasn’t always been altruistic in the past, right?

“Okay, then let’s go together.

” After getting off, there was no need to waste time. Even if you

say the rear, it’s not too far away.

When I arrived at the rear, where the screams were resounding, the first thing I saw was a wizard sitting defenselessly in front of a hideous Aura.

“Arua Raven I cast a 4th grade auxiliary magic [Orbital Interference].」

Instead of blocking the aura with halfway defense magic, Raven cast utility magic and changed the sword’s trajectory itself.

Whoa! Ugh!

A great sword that passed over the top of the head, not the neck.

” Heh……!”

Upon seeing this, he dashed forward, pulled the panicked wizard, and rescued him from a dangerous situation.

“Thank you for saving me… Vice-captain?!

” . Leave the rest to us, lead the explorers and join us as we have seen. It’s an order.”

“…Yes!”

Soon after, the wizard led the explorers as Raven instructed and left, and unexpectedly, the other person watched us from a distance.

Somewhere with a goosebumps look in his eyes.

‘That guy is a blood knight… ….’

First of all, I stood in the lead, covering my upper body with a shield. Then I looked up and down while facing him.

First of all, my first impression was that he was shorter than I thought.

Looking at his arms, he looks like he’s in the early 160’s… But

I don’t feel like I’m easy going.

‘What kind of guy’s atmosphere is that?’

A solid body shape that can be recognized from the skeleton.

With the unique momentum of a person mixed with it, the sense of intimidation radiated even with a small body is considerable. Among

them, the most important thing was the voice.

” Golden Mage Arua Raven.” A voice that clearly

says

something is wrong. With that voice,

he continued slowly , “One

of the targets to be killed

. ”

Sarah looked at the aura that was as red as her tinnitus, and I muttered,

“Erwen [spirit transformation].”

“

Which one

should I use?

” What

about that . Erwen’s body became translucent,

and the moment they held hands,

“The spirit of the earth dwells in the character’s body.” You can feel the

power of the earth riding on your skin in real time.

Reduces by half.”

“Water damage taken is doubled.”

“Poison immunity bonus.”

“When using blunt weapons, a strong correction is added to destructive actions.” “

Physical resistance greatly increases… ….」

「…….」

It’s been a while since Eli Baba (Ground) mode

「The character’s physical resistance is over 350.」

「Damage is reduced by 50% only for piercing wounds.」

Anyhow At this point, even if it wasn’t [Giantization], the 2nd stage skin would have been activated…

“You’re doing something meaningless.”

Conceited that you know how to use one to come in. How can you live in sadness as

a tanker

?

I smiled as I saw the old knight narrowing the distance.

Who dies?

Why did I follow you all the way here?

「The character cast [Iron Fortress]」

「The effect of [Evolutionary Envelope] increases by 1.5 times. 」

The ‘knight crusher’, which was once my nickname,

finally came to show its true value.
