Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 671: Star’s End (2) Deadred,

Lord of Darkness·

Just one line is enough to explain this guy’s strength·

He is the monarch of the 7th layer of the Dark Continent·

Well, in the case of the 7th layer, the monarch is unusual. Although there are two of them…

that doesn’t make them less powerful…

Anyway…

‘How on earth did this guy eat that…?’

To be honest, I don’t understand it.

Unlike the cheat version where you can press and hold with integers, in the original difficulty it is virtually impossible to attack unless you know ‘how to do it’.

But have I been underestimating Lee Baek-ho all this time?

Maybe this guy is a surprisingly great guy…

‘…or he was very lucky…’

I don’t know the details of how he acquired the Deadred Essence, but if I were to guess, it’s probably a very long time ago that I got that essence. High…

That’s right…

‘The last time I was summoned was about 8 years ago…’

Due to the nature of the labyrinth, which is always full of explorers, it is impossible to secretly summon a class lord…

Therefore, even if you want to get it within 8 years, you will not have the chance. None·

Oh, of course, by natural means·

‘The royal family would likely keep at least one hierarchical essence in a test tube·’

We cannot rule out the possibility that Lee Baek-ho obtained it through some kind of transaction in the middle· Given

the circumstances, The possibility seems a bit low, but…

‘… I was really summoned that day…’

Lee Baek-ho, who had been exploring the labyrinth while dreaming of a harem, was exposed due to a colleague’s betrayal.

Surprisingly, that was exactly the time…

So, I was a member of the royal family. I thought they used the excuse of a class monarch to cover up the incident regarding Lee Baek-ho…

I heard that a lot of explorers were dying in the labyrinth…

‘It must have been Lee Baek-ho who summoned it…’

If I were to dig up one more time, the reason I summoned the class monarch was… It must have been Lee Baek-

ho… In a situation where you’re cornered, you need to shake up the game even by throwing a gambling move—·

“It’s a terrifying power any time you look at it…”

While I was lost in thought, Aures next to me let out a long breath. Muttering,

“Are you all hurt?”

Still, since he is a tank by name, he seems to have a habit of asking about his colleagues’ well-being…

“I’m fine…”

“It’s the same…”

Healer Jaina and archer Bryant came to their senses and answered Aures’ question, while GM, who was still being carried by me like a burden, It was different.

Should I say I’m still mesmerized?

“···What on earth is that just now?”

What, didn’t he catch the Dark Lord while playing the game?

As soon as I saw it, I thought it was that skill…

“I’ve never even heard of a supernatural ability like this…”

Still, I understand the soul-less expression…

Even I was horrified by its power because it was my first time seeing it in person. This was on the verge of popping out…

What’s more, if I didn’t even know the existence of that skill…

Cheeeeeeeeeek!

As the heavy rain evaporates from the remaining heat on the ground, the water vapor created rises high like a fire scene.

Of course, it didn’t take long.

The heat cooled down quickly, the water vapor disappeared, and visibility was restored.

“…”

Just one meteorite. The crater expanded much larger than when it fell…

Only Lee Baek-ho was standing alone in it…

“Surprise!”

Soon Lee Baek-ho looks up at us and waves his hand with a mischievous expression…

He seems like a funny guy when you look at him like this…

‘I never thought there would be a nuclear weapon hidden behind that smiling face…’

Maybe it’s time to reconsider…

Probably I decided that I would never lose if I fought, but…

“What are you doing? “It’s all over, but you’re not coming here!”

At Baekho Lee’s call, we approached the place where the crater had formed again.

“Grandpa Destruction!” Take care of this first! “This is really expensive, right?”

Soon, a pure white bead fell on the spot that Lee Baek-ho pointed with his bright eyes.

Chizzy!

A bead that moves as if the electric current contained within it is dancing.

If we were to talk about modern objects, it was very similar to a ‘plasma ball’.

Isn’t that so?

Something that might be found as a prop in a tarot shop…

“This is… the ‘Sphere of Thunder’…”

“Oh, that’s right, that’s the name… So how much is this?”

“For wizards, it is a treasure that is difficult to put into value…”

“So how much is it?”

In response to Lee Baek-ho’s persistent questions, the destruction scholar roughly recites the expected numbers, and Lee Baek-ho widens his eyes.

“Wow, is this really that expensive?” If I hadn’t been careful, I could have been in big trouble…”

I sympathized with Lee Baek-ho’s relief…

Wasn’t it a powerful skill that erased an entire space with a radius of over 70m?

If it were a normal monster, it would have completely disappeared and no by-products could have been obtained…

” huh? “Can I just pick it up?”

“This is my first time seeing it in person, but I understand that there is no need to take any magical measures when disposing of by-products…” “

Oh, I see… Then give it to me…”

Soon, the dropped ‘Sphere of Thunder’ fell into Lee Baek-ho’s subspace. Entering…

I felt sick to my stomach for some reason, but I didn’t care…

It wasn’t just because Lee Baek-ho was much stronger than expected…

‘I guess I should pay the price for showing the skill…’

Isn’t this a skill that was no different from a hidden secret?

If Baek-ho Lee didn’t want to show it until the end, If I had saved it, the battle would have been much more difficult…

In the first place, I didn’t need the ‘Sphere of Thunder’ right away…

‘It would be nice to make a hammer with that when I go to Diltan Baba…’ but I

already had ‘No. 87 Demon of Crowl’ Not only does it not mean much since I got the ‘shredder’, but there is no one among my colleagues who needs a thunder weapon.

Therefore, I decided not to ask for a share in this case.

Anyway, if there is something I really want, I could use my concession this time as an excuse. ·

“Okay then, I guess rooting is over… Let’s get back to work…”

Lee Baek-ho, who soon finished rooting, immediately turned his back and approached the tombstone that had fallen on the ground with a

crater in it. “But fortunately, there wasn’t a single scratch on it.” Should I just put it into subspace like this? I think it would be valuable as a subject matter…”

Lee Baek-ho, who said that, somehow gave off the feeling that he was trying to change the topic…

‘Are you afraid that a story about [the disappearance of a star] might come out?’

I don’t know the exact intention, but thanks to that attitude, I lost the timing to bring up the story about Jeongsoo…

‘…Actually, I don’t think it would mean much if I asked…’

Anyway, I was also curious about that monument, so I quickly asked them. I approached the side…

In the middle of the day, Baekho Lee and Aures were trying to put the tombstone into sub-space by joining

forces …

It is lifted lightly…

and…

“A million?!”

As soon as the tip enters the sub-space, it is thrown out with tremendous repulsion…

Wow!

A tombstone half stuck in the ground making a heavy sound·

“Wassi!” what is this!”

As Lee Baek-ho makes a fuss, the GM approaches the monument and squats down…

“… It’s very unusual… I don’t feel any magic circuits or anything like that inside, but such a severe rejection reaction to sub-space…” ”

It’s definitely suspicious, right? ”

“Yes… I think we need to take some time to investigate more closely…”

“What do you think? “I’ve been meaning to look into this for a while… Oh, Baron, you agree, right?”

Watching Lee Baek-ho naturally try to regain control, I smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I agree.” It is a dangerous area

with heavy rain pouring down and

even meteorites falling here and there, but maybe this will return to its original place. Because it might be the key…

“Well… then I’d like to investigate the ingredients first. Hey… Lord Aures? “Could you please hold this here for a moment?”

“oh! Of course, let’s come!”

Time passed so quickly…

***

9th Tier, Star’s End…

Strictly speaking, it could be said to be an area very similar to that place, but anyway…

this was not a good environment to study something in depth in one place…

Sigh!

The rainwater pouring down like a storm went beyond the cold and discomfort, and the depth of the water continued to rise as if there was a flood…

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Meteorites sometimes fell and

flashed!

Lightning, heavy snow, strong winds, hail, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc…

We’ve all experienced natural disasters, and in the meantime, monsters kept appearing and we had to fight…

The problem is…

“Hey, if we give it a week, shouldn’t we figure out something?”

“····”

“Grandpa Destruction Grandpa didn’t look at me like that either, why are you doing that? “If you don’t think you can do it, you can’t do it. You should at least say that so we don’t waste time, right?”

Even though I examined the monument closely for a week, I found out nothing except that this monument was very hard.

However, there was an advantage on the other side.

As the number of battles accumulated, I was able to understand the monsters here in more detail.

‘The threat value is definitely not working…’

It is difficult to attract aggro properly here… The

‘threat value’ is not 0 because of field effects or something like that…

It’s just…

“It’s probably because the intelligence of the monsters here is high. It seems like a phenomenon…”

At first, the monsters that rushed at me with excitement quickly changed their minds and tried to attack dealers first if I held on

well. As if they were learning something.

“Because aggro is not properly attracted, the perceived difficulty is three times higher.” It seems like it’s four times more…’

Of course, that doesn’t mean it was hard to overcome the risk of death in every battle…

There were some really dangerous cases…

but isn’t there a saying that humans are the most adaptable animals?

‘On the front lines’ “There is a monster in the north-northeast direction!”

“… It’s Ready-trous…”

“Everyone to their positions!”

Rather than going forward alone and acting as the main tank, he stays near the group and acts as a defensive wall…

And…

“It’s just one animal anyway!” “Don’t move in a hurry and focus on protecting yourself!”

They fight as safely as possible by taking advantage of the fact that there are extremely few monsters compared to the normal field.

“Hey, why are you trying to collect all the by-products of grade 5 miscellaneous mobs? “There’s no space, so just throw away the bulky items!”

“Even though the grade is low, it is a very rare material· If I just return to the city later—·” “

I am very greedy… Even if I just take the things I need to take with me in the future and go back, I will be very hungry·”

“····”

Among the by-products, I mainly took the ones that were particularly valuable and just threw away most

of the rest. It would take at least a few months to return to the city anyway, and by then the inventory might be low.

It was a choice to reduce wasting time.

“… So, Baron. What do you plan to do?”

“I think we should stop investigating and move on…”

“Where?”

“I think it would be better to move forward in one direction for now…”

“Well, that might be better… But then, which direction are you going to go in?”

The place we are currently in is Star’s End on the 9th floor.

Among them, it is the ‘Primordial Land’ located in the center.

For reference, if you meet the special conditions here, you can summon and catch the ‘Primordial Dragon’…

‘The moment you summon it, It’s game over, so let’s pass this…’

I said the destination I was thinking of…

“It’s west…”

“If it’s west from here… Old Rock Meadow? Why is it there?”

That’s a simple reason…

“Because there is a ‘Spirit Gate’ in the Old Rock Plains…”

“Oh, I guess I’m trying to see where it takes me if I ride it…”

“I’m not sure if there will be anything or not…”

“I see… I also have level 8 engraving materials. “I thought you were asking me to go there!”

···This quick-witted guy·

“Okay, let’s leave quickly· I don’t think we’ll find anything even if we investigate further here·”

“Yeah yeah! Everyone heard, right? Let’s go now!”

After the situation was over, we moved west as previously planned, and after about four days, the old rock meadow as planned appeared…

and…

“… I never imagined it would be blocked here…”

Old rock. When we were about halfway through the meadow , a dead

wall blocked us .

Even on the coastline of Lapdonia, it is a gray world where everything loses its color and dies.

“Don’t go near it, because the moment you touch it, you will die instantly.”

Oh, so does this mean that Baekho Lee will die if you push him here?

I suddenly had that thought, but I didn’t try.

Because the priority is to work together and get out of here.

“First, it would be better to go around this boundary line.”

From then on, I moved with the boundary line to the left. One day,

two days, three days, four days. ····

And 15 days…

We moved quickly over a whopping 15 days, and as the days went by, we became more and more silent…

As the outer part of the map was completed, an ominous confidence began to build up…

“Is there something out there…”

“Just be quiet. Yes… Because it’s not certain yet…”

“Yes…”

Two more days passed after that, and when we reached the 17th…

We were back in the old rock meadow again…

We made a big circle with the boundary line on our left. It is…

Jeeeeeeik…

I sighed heavily as I finally drew a line to the circle that had been imperfectly drawn on the map…

Now there was no need to hold back my words for fear of being dishonest…

“Nimiral…”

We are here. Trapped…
