Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

First of all, I counted from habit.

‘Twenty-four.’

The number of explorers standing awkwardly in front of the entrance.

So they were the Hex Clan, right?

“Looks like Myrtane’s team entrusted themselves to that clan.”

“Is it Mirtane?”

“It’s a 5-man team with no warriors. The name of the team leader there is Mirtane.”

I see

Then one 4-man team and one 5-man team joined the silver lion clan?

I don’t know, but I started talking to the other side first.

Actually, I’ve been in a bad mood since before.

“Are you going to fight?”

“…yes?”

When I asked, the prosecutor in the lead gave instructions as if he had finally come to his senses.

“Ah… I heard the sound and thought it was a monster… Everyone, what are you doing! Lower your weapons!”

I wondered if he was waiting to do a PK, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Soon after everyone lowered their weapons, he asked me in a cautious tone.

“Um… are you done exploring down there?”

“Just to a certain extent. But have you guys just arrived?”

“Yes, it is, but…….”

“This is also a fate, but it is a common name. What is your name?”

“Wight. This is Wight Hex. He is serving as the 2nd leader of Clan Hex.”

“The second leader?”

“The first generation was my father.”

It must have been a silver spoon to inherit the clan.

At this point, I wondered if we should go our separate ways, but I was curious about something, so we continued the conversation.

“Wight, what has happened since we left?”

“Ah, that’s what you mean…….”

Usually, if you ask other explorers this question, you’ll get an answer like find out for yourself, but it was different for me.

Fame is also fame, but first of all, I opened a portal going this way.

Even though Amman left it on a rocky island and told you to take care of it, a favorable response continued.

“As you would have expected if you were a baron, they naturally split into two.”

Anyway, after hearing it through Wight, the story was very simple.

Silver Lion Clan and Hex Clan.

These two groups formed a temporary partnership after my departure. It’s not a unified command, but we don’t know what’s coming, so we move together and help each other in case of danger.

“Then what about the small and medium teams?”

“The three teams formed a coalition to see if they felt uneasy about being caught between the clans.”

A cooperative relationship between the three groups thus formed.

They left the rocky island in their own boat and started exploring in earnest.

And…

“The problem came after discovering the island.”

“The island?”

When I showed interest, Wight offered a deal if he wasn’t a complete hoggo.

“If the baron tells us the information below, we will also share it.”

“Okay? Well, I’ll do that, so keep talking.”

It wasn’t really a contract, but Wight nodded without saying anything, as if my verbal promise was enough.

“It was a very large island. And an undiscovered object came out.”

“Are you talking about tentakulan?”

“How did Baron Yandel come up with that name…?”

“I’ll tell you later, so keep going.”

“…First of all, it’s not a Tentakulan. Unlike those guys I met on the way to the island, it was a much stronger monster.”

It’s a much stronger monster…….

Tentakulan was a 4th grade, so it’s at least a 3rd grade.

“I wish I could tell you more.”

“I managed to get rid of him somehow, but I don’t know what his embodied ability is. But I used Death Lord’s [Salvation Mist] Rectus’s [Corpse Poison] and Helsmith’s [Hellfire]. And we used ‘Diamont’ called it.”

Diamont.

Its grade is unknown, and it seems to be a solitary object since it was traveling alone at the time of first discovery.

“So what happened after you caught it?”

“It was judged that it was dangerous to go inside the island, so we stayed on the coast and continued to hunt ‘Diamont’. Then… there was a divergence of opinions.”

“How?”

“The Silver Lion Clan was in the position to go inside the island, and we were against it. Catching them one by one on the shore was considered dangerous enough for me.”

But the Silver Lion Clan was tough.

Rather than trying to reach a consensus through persuasion, they came out as if they were going their separate ways, and the Hetz Clan also raised their hands.

“There was a difference of opinion among the small and medium teams, and the two teams belonged to the Silver Lion clan. Here, Myrtane’s team decided to join us.”

“Why did you leave the island?”

“It was the judgment that there must be other islands. Stable exploration is possible even at our level.”

Well, since it’s a place where monsters of level 3 or higher appear from the beginning, you might have thought that it would be better to find another place.

When I saw him on the first floor, I thought he was a suicide hopeful, but now that I see him, he is a friend who knows the reality.

“Then can I hear the Baron?”

Afterwards, in exchange for information, I also told them a lot of the information I found out at the library.

At first, the guy who listened to the story inflated with anticipation became more subtle the longer the story went on.

“According to your word, there’s not much we can get from down there.”

“If the purpose is hunting, it’ll be fine. Even the summoning books we haven’t written are full. And above all, you guys might be able to find out what we couldn’t find out.”

“That’s… I guess.”

Afterwards, the Wight called their navigator and shared the location of the island with our navigator, Auyen, and the business ended.

So now it’s time to go on the way.

“As expected… the baron isn’t looking for a way out either.”

Wight has said something significant.

“What do you mean?”

“No…it’s nothing. Please consider it my pointless concern.”

“I’ll judge whether it’s useless, so tell me.”

When I said it strongly, the guy opened his mouth with a slightly embarrassed look.

“I was just thinking about when the closing date for this place would be, and suddenly I was worried. I wondered if I would be able to go back to the city when the closing date really happened……” “……” “Maybe

this

place That kind of anxiety that it might become my grave.”

I wondered what I was going to say after that.

‘I just heard it.’

It’s embarrassing to those who hear it.

***

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The boat advances across the silver current.

The destination is the same island that he heard the coordinates from Clan Hetz.

“If it’s the performance of our ship, it’s likely to arrive in about 5 hours.”

Auyen even used skills exclusive to navigators to shorten the travel time, and the members were accustomed to performing their duties in their respective positions.

And the time at that time was 2:00 AM.

‘Now it’s the 11th day…….’

It’s been 11 days since the labyrinth opened.

However, the labyrinth was still not closed.

It’s something I’ve been paying attention to every day since the 7th day…….

Did I hear that earlier?

Something feels strange this time.

Until now, if you had been relieved that it was not yet closed, now a little anxiety is blooming somewhere.

‘Not knowing anything drives people crazy like this.’

This is also a labyrinth, but it will be closed when the time comes.

Even thinking about it, I doubt that it really is.

Even though all classes from the 1st floor to the 10th floor have statistics in common, I am not at all relieved, perhaps because of the unique characteristics of the 1st basement floor

. Let’s think again then.’

After tidying up, my head lightened a little.

It’s always good to assume the worst, but being so immersed in it that you can’t do anything is a turning point.

“Bjorn! That Tentamond! He appeared!”

“It must be tentakulan.”

As time passed, Tentakulan, not McGuri, began to appear as if they had entered their territory.

I don’t know what the heck they do for a living under the sea, but they fly up like flying fish and land on the deck.

“Tentakulan has been killed.”

“Tentakulan has been killed.

”

“Tentakulan has been killed.

” It didn’t work.

That was the part I couldn’t bear.

As it is a new level 4 monster, the essence must be sold at a high price.

‘If I have time later, I’m going to go around this place and

try to farm essences …’

Isn’t there a saying that it’s a sotamdaesil.

“Ohh! It’s a new island!”

As soon as we could see our destination with the naked eye, we started preparing to get off the ship.

The anchorage is on a small beach at the bottom of a cliff.

Except for this place, all of them are cliffs, so they said they couldn’t get a boat there.

‘There’s nothing wrong with going up with a boat next to the cliff, but…….’

Well, I think it would be better to just get off the beach and walk directly.

Originally, that’s what you do after you become a deceased person. Doesn’t that coastline seem to have been decided as the starting location?

“I’ll start by surveying the terrain, so everyone follow me and tell me right away if you find anything.”

After arriving at the shore, we explored the surrounding terrain. There were no monsters nearby, but I couldn’t be relieved.

‘Visibility is about 10m.’

It was one of the characteristics of the first basement floor. Each field has a different viewing distance.

I could see the outline of the entire island from a distance, but when I went inside, the view was blocked.

“Auyen, follow along and make a map. Can you?”

“Yes. Please leave it to me.”

I could make the map myself, but I left this role to Auyen. You

have to be at the forefront of the profession, but you can’t carry a notebook and pen, right

?

“It ended sooner than I thought.”

As a result of searching the coast for about 20 minutes, there was only one way to get out of the coast.

Unless you have to climb a cliff that is several tens of meters tall, heading inland through the narrow gap between the cliffs seemed to be the standard route. But

…….

‘The problem is that there are three roads.

The gaps located in front and on the left and right of the seashore. No matter

which one you choose, there is a possibility that it will lead to the same place, but it is not certain.

You have to pick one and go.

“Where do you think Einar should go?”

“Of course, if you’re a warrior, go straight!” It’s

a part that you can only know by going there anyway, so I just chose the front as Einar said.

‘…It’s much narrower than I thought.’

Even though [Giantness] was disabled, the narrow gap where my head kept bumping into me and my shoulders got stuck in. I

endured the inconvenience and walked forward for about 20 minutes

until I came to the exit.

Claustrophobic, I squeezed the exit as quickly as possible and came out,

and quickly checked the surrounding terrain.

“…….”

Rainforest reminiscent of the Amazon jungle .

The bizarre-looking trees were bigger than any other trees I’ve seen in Korea,

and…

a drop.

Something liquid fell from above.

‘Rain?’

I thought so at first, but the feeling of the slush flowing down my cheek was something I couldn’t mistake

.

“…Nimiral.”

Three

corpses with ghastly faces were hanging from tree vines.

“…members of the Silver Lion Clan.”

There was a heavy silence at the end of Versil’s words that followed.

It was a very, very simple reason.

“…….”

“…….”

Monsters don’t do that.
