Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

And an unknown land very similar to the 9th layer’s Star’s End that I climbed over that monument…

At first, I wondered if this was the inside of the labyrinth…

‘I guess that’s not true…’

This place belongs to the outside of the castle walls…

The proof of this is that the monsters are highly intelligent, and the fact that the by-products remain when the monsters are slain…

However, the problem is…

‘Going back on foot is the same. ‘This is impossible…’

This place is practically an ‘island’… No,

in some ways, it’s worse than an island…

Even though it may be located somewhere on the continent, there are gray boundaries on all sides, so it was impossible to go beyond it… To

put it simply, it was a physical escape. The possibility is zero…

“…Baron? “What are you going to do now?”

Lee Baek-ho glanced at me and asked me that question. It

was a bit absurd. He

had been secretly trying to take over the command and pretended not to notice as soon as this happened.

It was our Baron…”

“I think he said ‘there might be a way out’…”

“Oh, isn’t that what it is?”

I wondered how someone could be so obnoxious, but I was told that if I reacted sensitively at a time like this, I would

lose… So I just ignored it and got straight to the point… “But there

was a harvest,

right?” “Yes… Because I found out that he was properly trapped here… That’s right. ?”

Oh, should I really hit you?

At that moment, such a desire rose up, but I barely held it in, thinking of the cause and effect [the disappearance of the star].

“…Yes, that alone is a sufficient harvest… Moreover, the map was roughly completed…”

“I only drew the outer border, but the inside was empty. “It’s empty?”

“So from now on, all we have to do is search the empty part… Because there will definitely be a dimensional monument somewhere connected to its original location or another place…” He

soon spoke in a confident voice honed through numerous leadership experiences, but Lee Baek-ho had a sour expression on his face. “Is n’t

that an unfounded belief?” “How does the Baron know that there is a dimensional tombstone?”

That’s right…

‘Because [Dungeons & Stone] is that kind of game…’

Of course, this may be a bit complacent…

This is ‘outside the castle walls’ that I have never been to in the game, and the reality of this world that I personally experienced after entering is ‘game’. ‘It was completely different…

But…

“So what are we going to do?”

I’m not just saying something I didn’t mean to.

Even if it seems like I’m stuck in an abyss with no way out, there’s always a way out somewhere in the world.

That’s my iron rule and belief

. “If you’re not sure, then are you just going to sit here and rest? ”

“Oh, that’s not what I meant—·”

“Or just follow me in silence… Even if you all give up and say it can’t be done, I will definitely find a way…”

Lee Baek-ho seemed to be speechless for a moment as he looked straight into his eyes and spoke somewhere. He responded with an admiring voice.

“······Wow, Baron, you are killing me. Have you all been so captivated until now?”

To Lee Baek-ho’s words, the archer next to him also added something,

“It was an amazing experience. For a moment, I really didn’t have any worries.”

“Hahaha! In the first place, I don’t think the Baron said anything wrong! I have to do something! “If I stay still, won’t I only become more hungry?”

Afterwards, when even Aures came forward with a cheerful smile, the atmosphere, which could have been a bit sensitive, softened.

This is why there must be at least one positive warrior like this in the team.

Having experienced many times as a leader, the difference between having this type and not is very big. So…

“Okay then, let’s start again…”

Let’s go…

***

From now on, there’s only one thing we have to do…

Go around all the maps that haven’t been revealed yet and find the ‘dimensional tombstone’ or a way to get out. The

problem is that we have to carefully examine this large area, but

our exploration method was very simple.

“A small crevice structure in a cliff cave under a tree… Anything is fine, so if there is anything that stands out, immediately “Tell me, do you understand?”

Not only the archer Bryant, who is in the searcher position, but all members of the team look closely at the surroundings while moving…

And when they find something…

“It looks like a shallow pond, but the water is very deep… It’s the perfect place to hide something.” ·”

“Okay, let’s stop for a moment and check.”

I used magic to detect it, but somehow I felt uncomfortable, so I went into the water and went through the process of checking. Some

people asked if I had to go this far, but I never compromised.

There was a guy named ‘Dailan’. Wasn’t the dimensional tombstone in the example that you claimed to have found hidden in a crevice in the cliff that is generally difficult to find?

You have to do this much to be able to come to a conclusion later…

There is no ‘dimensional tombstone’ here…

So you have to find another way…

“baron! Check this out! “Isn’t this a bit suspicious?”

“Where on earth is something suspicious…?”

“Here here! “The leaves of the flower are broken!”

“···Okay, let’s move on…”

Oh, of course, I saved time by filtering out everything…

“Why! “Didn’t I tell you everything, even the little things, earlier?”

No, it’s still like that…

The leaves of the flower are broken, so what are you going to do with me?

How on earth should I check this?

“Lord Ruinzenes! “Can’t you at least check the ball?!”

When I heard it with one ear and let it out, Aures went to Grandpa Destruction and started whining.

Of course, there was no way Grandpa would listen to that request.

“Come on, let’s go…”

“Lord Ruingenes!!”

“Then let’s keep moving…”

The search resumed again…

The speed is a bit slow as we search thoroughly, but the map is steadily filled in…

‘The Old Rock Meadow is now about 70% complete…

’ The structure is simple.

Centered around the ‘primordial land’ we first crossed through the portal, to the west is ‘Old Rock Meadow’, to the north is ‘

Poisonous Lava Field’,

to the east is ‘Dream Falls’, and to the south is ‘Yongol Mountain’. exists…

However, except for the ancient land, all fields are cut in the middle due to the boundary line of ash…

‘The biggest problem is the dream waterfall…’

The poisonous lava field and Yonggol Mountain…

both fields The level of difficulty is high as it is based on the 9th floor, but it is nothing compared to ‘Dream Waterfall’ ·

If you have to search thoroughly to find the dimensional monument rather than simply passing by, even more so—·

“People! “It’s a trace of a person!”

···huh?

“It’s true… These are definitely human footprints…”

While we were exploring the ‘Old Rock Meadow’, traces of people were suddenly discovered…

And there was no way we, who were endlessly looking for ‘suspicious things’, would just pass by when we saw this. ·

“Bryat, you take the lead from now on and chase the traces· From now on, move at full speed·” We

quickly gave the order and followed the traces at the maximum speed we could achieve·

And how long had passed·

“···· ”

I see the back of a man standing in the middle of the meadow… A man dressed in very shabby and shabby clothes, as if he hadn’t washed in months…

Looking at this description alone, he had something in common with ‘Dailan’ who lured us here… ·

Swoosh ·

The moment the man sensed our presence and turned his back ·

We could tell that it was neither ‘Dailan’ nor a ‘person’ ·

There was a black spider on his face ·

“···What is it, Bayon? It was…”

Grade 3 humanoid monster Bayon·

The monster that is also the original owner of my [Transcendence] skill·

For reference, this guy mainly appears in ‘Immortal Land’, one of the fields of the Dark Continent on the 7th floor…

9th floor It also appears occasionally in ‘Old Rock Meadow’…

“I thought it was that Dalen guy…”

“In the end, it was all in vain…”

When they found out the identity of the trace, the members of the group seemed to have lost their energy, but in fact, I saw this guy. I was quite happy to have met it.

To the point where I had to control my expression.

‘I finally found it…’

‘Bayon’ is one of the monsters that you need to catch the most when raising Shield Baba.

Not only do you have to obtain [Transcendence], but also…

Bayon’s ‘Parasite spiders’, one of the by-products, rarely come up on the auction house.

“But you’ll like it, Baron, right? Because he gave me level 8 engraving materials…” “

…

But I’m jealous… I still have a long way left to become stronger…” Lee Baek-ho soon

makes a serious joke and swivels his arms as if he’s stretching…

And ····

Tadat-!

Immediately dash towards Bayon.

An unexpected action that would make anyone who has ever held a leadership position immediately become irritated.

“Wait a minute!”

“It’s only a level 3 monster, so what?” It’s

only a level 3 monster.

It’s not wrong, but Bayon is a pretty dangerous monster.

Unlike other monsters, each individual’s combat power varies greatly and their abilities are also different, so the standard strategy is to hunt them after an exploration battle—·

Kwazik -!

···Does it matter?

“ah! “It’s refreshing!”

Bayon collapsed with his heart pierced by Lee Baek-ho’s regime stab with a black aura.

At the same time, a feeling of something building up bloomed.

It was a feeling that all explorers know. Before

“Bayon was defeated. EXP +7.

” When I captured ‘Gigazeros’, I was so distracted that I thought I

was going to give up… but you can definitely get experience points here as well…

“Let’s see… Let’s start by looting the Baron’s engraving materials… Huh?”

Lee Baek-ho approaches Bayon, whose lifeline has been completely cut off, and tries to remove the spider stuck to his face. Lee Baek-ho suddenly freezes in shock.

“Baekho? Why are you doing that… Ugh! “What is this!”

Seeing that even Aures, who approached after him, was startled, it seemed like something had happened.

Therefore, I also quickly approached and checked Bayon’s body—·

“···Huh?”

What is this?

When I saw the face of ‘Bayon’ revealed as the spider was removed, I couldn’t help but be as surprised as the people before me, and the others were the same…

“… His face has turned black, but isn’t this him?”

‘Bayon’, a humanoid monster encountered in the Old Rock Plains ·

He had the face of ‘Daelan’ ·

***

The incident gradually falls into a labyrinth ·

Daylan disappeared after luring us here ·

Why did this guy turn into a monster and stay here? Was he wandering around?

“…I wonder if I can hear your opinion?”

In response to the GM’s cautious request, the destruction scholar opened his mouth…

“I’m not sure, but I once read in an old book… that the ‘Bayons’ were ancient explorers who died in the labyrinth…”

Coincidentally, it was something I already knew.

Hidden I researched the game world view setting every day in case there was information about the piece.

“Ah! “So that’s why Bayon uses essence like the explorers!”

“That’s true, but it’s not a very grounded story… It’s closer to a tale for public entertainment…” “… Is that so…

” As

it becomes increasingly unclear what kind of situation we are in, first of all, from Lee Baek-ho.

I took over the by-product as if it had been stolen.

So what I’m curious about is what I’m curious about, and this is it, right?

‘Now I just need to get one more…’

With this, there is only one material left to level 8 engraving…

‘Well, I think I can get this quickly by using the characteristics outside the castle walls…’

Still, the number of items is small. You could say I was lucky in many ways to come across ‘Bayon’, which is not often found here—·

“Oh! Let’s see if it’s really Daylan! “I searched through my belongings and found my ID card!”

At that time, Aures stood up excitedly.

In his watermelon-sized hand, he was holding an identification card the size of a business card.

“Let me see your name…” My

heart pounded:

“Hans…? ah! It did! That’s right! It was Hans!”

Exciting-!

My heart began to beat violently.

I made a hasty decision and urgently shouted out,

“Get ready to move!!”

We have to get out of here…

as quickly as possible…
