Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 280 Whirlpool (6)

He raised his spear high into the sky.

As soon as I saw it, this thought came to me first.

‘No already?’

No matter how far they got here, they made holes here and there, cut off half of their arms in less than three seconds, and pierced their stomachs with arrows.

40% blood already?

‘Ah……’

I immediately raised my head to confirm him, and I was convinced.

I don’t know when he got there, but Amelia was hanging from his back, with a dagger lodged in his neck.

‘If you’re going to do it, hit me in the back of the head, not the neck.’

I felt that kind of regret for a moment, but I don’t think the woman who became Ameliana was aiming for the neck on purpose.

It’s probably stuck there because he’s avoiding it.

I focused on other parts.

‘It’s a skill I’ve never seen before.’

A black aura protrudes from the hole in its neck.

uh maybe that’s it?

「Amelia LaneWales cast [Power of the Abyss].」

Even if you come to the Doppelganger Essence, it’s not enough to have something like that. It’s almost a miracle that I didn’t get caught playing around with him until now.

Anyway, I’ll think about this later.

“Don’t stop!”

I approached him again, giving instructions.

However, was the request too harsh for colleagues who did not know the situation afterwards?

Everyone couldn’t focus on the battle and their bodies stiffened.

It was not something I couldn’t understand.

「Stormgusch has cast [Stormcall].」

[Stormcall].

It’s all about sucking in the wind around you and recovering MP, but if the surroundings are full of rainwater with [Rain Ceremony], that skill can restore a large amount of HP through linkage.

Yes, originally, that would be the end…….

There is an additional effect when raiding on this fucking island.

“The radish has grown like a wall!!”

“It’s a tidal wave…!!!”

The rising water, driven by the tugging wind, rushes like a tidal wave.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Like a rolling snowball gradually increasing in size, waves rushed in from afar and formed a wall.

“Oh, no!”

The violence of nature so intimidating that someone even secretly closed their eyes.

After that, there is no need to be afraid.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

At last, violent waves crashing from all sides swallowed us up.

But…

“A sanctuary was created somewhere on the island.”

There was no damage.

“Huh huh?”

“How the heck did this happen…”

I don’t know the detailed principle either.

When I was playing the game, it was the part where I just thought that I was paying attention to the directing.

“Light up the area around Raven!”

Soon, the seawater covered the top and it became dark, so we secured the light source first. Then the environment we were in became more clearly visible.

It was a very strange feeling.

It felt like being trapped in a fishbowl.

However, the situation is urgent, so I will stop watching here.

“Everyone move!! If it’s not now, there’s no chance!”

When I gave the order again, my fellow riders hurriedly came to their senses and moved their bodies.

The battle, which reached a new phase, flowed with unparalleled urgency.

「Storm Gush cast [Dragon Veins].」

First of all, Mr. Bear could not avoid the layer of air rising from the ground and was hit.

Still, it seemed to have reacted to some extent, but fortunately I was hit and I was not thrown out of the sanctuary

…

“City Priest. I can stand it… Please continue to help Yandel or ……”

Mr. Bear became incapable of combat.

With [Hungry Claw], the wound will heal with time, but it will take a few more minutes.

[Ugh-?!]

When Mr. Bear was injured, Cheolwoong Iradun, who somehow managed to hold out on the front line based on his regenerative power, was summoned shortly after.

But the bad news didn’t stop there.

The [Vortex] springing from the hole where [Dragon Vein] was cast began to harass us by spreading around in a limited space.

“Never get hit!!”

From now on, it is correct to view [Vortex] as an instant kill.

In this situation, the moment you get caught up in that thing, you will be thrown into the sea over there.

Slow-!

Soon after, Amelia cut off the arm of the dagger filled with an aura.

cooong.

A heavy arm fell to the floor holding a trident made of bone.

Even without a weapon, he was a threat.

[Oh Oho Oh Oh !!]

The parts ran wielded like a counterattack, and the parts leather shook up.

Because of the [Vortex] that restricts movement, I couldn’t avoid it as quickly as usual.

‘It’s not a fatal wound.’

One power was blown, but I calmly glanced at it and then moved my gaze. As long as you are alive, being able to resurrect with a heal or potion is one of the few advantages in this world…

Tadat.

I had no choice but to distance myself as the [Vortex] flew across the formation and flew towards me.

At that time, Amelia’s team’s archer, Nebarce, was attacked.

I used a skill to avoid the [Whirlwind] that flew behind me, but ended up falling in front of the monster’s mouth.

‘Ah, that was a random blink……’

In the end, Nebarce couldn’t even spit out a death sentence and was chewed up by him.

Honest Honest.

The first sacrifice made during the battle.

Apart from the feeling of mourning, there was no guilt.

So who wants to use shit skills like [Emergency Escape] here?

Anyway, we just need to be fine—

“…Ugh!”

Then Misha was hit.

Slow-!

He dodged a slash attack to the side, but lost an arm in return.

“Misha!”

“Don’t worry! You can fight with one arm!”

Can you fight with one arm?

He followed me around and became very tough.

I couldn’t tell you to stay back.

Because there is no room for that.

It just pays back with a little more emotion.

“The character has cast [Swing].”

I use up the MP I saved and swing the mace.

The point of impact is that protruding snout.

Poo-!

He also twisted his back and stroked his tail at me, as if he was sure of Eun-won.

Quaang-!

Even though it was blocked by a shield, the impact penetrated the bones.

Is it because of the rapid increase in body value due to [Rest for Rain]?

When I blocked it earlier, it was just enough to stop it…

‘Nimiral.’

Over dislocation, the arm broke while holding the shield.

My ribs tingled when I put my arms on it just because I was putting weight on it.

Hill came in soon after.

「Laylin Ersina has cast [Healing]」 A

cozy yet mysterious power that connects severed tendons and puts fragmented bones together like a puzzle.

This mysterious power seemed to speak to me.

If everything is healed, don’t rest and fight to protect your comrades.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!”

An arduous battle

A fight that cannot be explained in such short words continues.

He was strong and tough like a 3rd grade monster.

Poo-wook.

The aura is growing inside.

Dozens of arrows are stuck in the shell, taking away life.

In a situation where the sword that Misha had driven into her eyeball was shaking as the cursed magic stacked countless times and instead of being regenerated, the dark green bodily fluid dripped down.

[…….]

He fought and fought and fought again.

As if we are evil incarnate and we are justice.

He moved his body without getting tired, and every time he moved, someone got hurt.

Most of them were me.

kakak.

Sharp claws tear through shields and armor.

Fu-wook!

Sometimes it digs into the flesh.

Now, the healing power doesn’t come in at the right time, probably because of the lack of divine power.

But what do you mean?

Did you know that I will fall before you?

hold out

He wielded his mace non-stop, and sometimes, to save his comrades, he did not dodge [Whirlwind] and received it.

endure and endure

Had it been like that for about a minute?

[Koooooooooo!!]

Soon after, he screamed and looked at me.

You seem to be asking why it doesn’t fall down.

Yes, you were the same as me.

High praise for the monster theme.

‘Please, let’s go to the next pattern, bastard!’

Filled with that feeling, I hit him on the neck with my mace.

Fuck!

It flinched for a moment, but there was no blow.

But…

Fuuk.

In the meantime, Amelia thrust a dagger into his temple.

[Kiaaaaaaaaa!!!]

He screamed in pain.

and at the same time.

Whoa, whoa, whoa…!

A thick wind curtain covered the body as if to protect it.

「Stormgash has cast [Priest of Storms].」

A last-ditch survival skill used when 10% HP remains.

It was the moment I had been waiting for so long.

“Raven!!!”

So far, he has only used curse magic and called the name of the wizard who was waiting.

However, the magic was already being used.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A vivid magic circle that appeared over the ground scattering light.

Tadat.

It didn’t stop to get away from the side, but it spread the distance far away. It wasn’t just me, but all of the remaining vanguards, Misha and Amelia.

Well, now I know what’s coming.

“Felz Askar Bier.”

The only military magic that Raven learned so hard was a spell designed to kill powerful individuals rather than large numbers of enemies.

‘……The range is too wide to say that.’

I gulped and looked ahead.

「Arua Raven has cast the 4th grade offensive magic, [Wrath].」 A

thunderclap was heard from the ceiling covered with seawater, as if the sky was collapsing.

and after 1 second.

Flash-!

The whole surroundings were dyed white.

It didn’t feel that dazzling.

The white light, which must have been refracted several times until it reached here, shone dimly and embraced us.

And…

Kwak-kwang-!

The long-awaited ‘punishment’ was slammed into the top of his head.

***

High physical resistance and exorcism.

Muscular strength and agile movement that rivaled that of an ogre.

Because of these points, it is called the ‘Ogre of the Sea’, but Stormgash’s vitality itself is very low compared to that of an Ogre.

Also, it is reasonable to aim for a short-term battle starting with the skills you use. Because of the skill structure, if you go into a long-term battle with this guy, the attacker will be at a disadvantage.

So I also aimed for a short game.

Conserve resources up to 70% HP and only deal with normal attacks.

From [Rest for Rain], the tempo is quickly increased and the deal is pushed in, and from 40% who use [Storm Call], the deal is extreme.

At 10%, even a phase skip with one point fire.

It was a fairly standard strategy.

There is no counter skill to neutralize some patterns, so the battle risk is much greater.

And except for the fact that the wizard had to deal with the finishing blow alone because it consumed most of the resources to reach 10% HP.

Yes, it was a plan worth trying.

If so, what would be the result?

Kwak-kwang-!

Soon after, the thunderbolt-shaped ‘fear punishment’ pierced the seawater and pierced the top of his head, and I was able to see the result with my own two eyes.

‘It failed.’

It was such a miserable failure that it was not even a mental victory.

Chiiyi profit.

It had a steaming shell like a ripe lobster, but it was still alive.

The whirlwind that stood there as if to protect him was the same.

The cause was clear.

It’s not that the timing was too late, so I didn’t use magic to invincible.

‘I didn’t have enough deals.’

It’s just that Raven’s finishing deal was lacking.

It’s been a while too.

‘I thought it would be worth a try if it was magic.’

Maybe it was my fault for not considering the terrain.

I wouldn’t know if it was a normal environment.

That lightning also passed through the sea water, and its power must have been reduced to some extent.

“I’m alive! What should I do?”

What should I do?

Going to Plan B now.

“Partsran! Take out the ship!”

At my cry, Partzran asked with his stomach skin torn.

“…A ship?”

Um, didn’t I tell you the plan B?

No, did you make it clear?

Could it be that I forgot because I was in a back and forth situation?

I don’t like repeating what I said, but I reiterated the core of Plan B that I talked about earlier.

“Let’s bounce!”

If you stay here, you will all die.

***

「The energy of the storm begins to dwell in Stormgash’s body.」

「Stormgash temporarily becomes immune to all damage.」

「10%.」

「20%.」

「3… ..”

「…….」

***

In the end, I came up with a plan B, but there are many positive aspects.

No one died.

Although one archer from Noark ran out of luck today.

Also, Misha’s arm was amputated and Einar passed out, but Mr. Bear was also seriously injured.

all survived

yes this is what it is

“Ah pear…!”

Soon, the Parts Land also thought of Plan B, and hurriedly touched the subspace ring for ship storage.

But did you suddenly have such a question?

“Ha, but let’s take out the boat in this situation… Coke!”

While he was questioning me, he coughed up blood.

However, the guy’s question continued through Raven’s mouth.

“Mr. Patzran is right. It’s covered in water all around, so how the hell are you going to float the boat?”

how to float

“Don’t you remember? That guy’s boat was made of ‘Artenemok’.”

Artenemok is the highest quality ship material.

It’s hard and filthy hard, but it has tremendous buoyancy to the point that even the life jacket makes you cry. Even if you just put the whole boat in the water, it will float to the top on its own.

“What are you doing, Mr. Patsran! Don’t take out your stomach!”

Soon after, Raven pressed on, and Partzran summoned the ship while caressing the torn belly skin.

A boat large enough to accommodate ten people.

I put the stunned Einar and the injured Mr. Bear on top of the boat and tied them to the poles with ropes.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and tie it up. It might fall off if you just go.”

“Ah yes!”

Those who could afford to take care of themselves fixed themselves with ropes.

At that time, Misha asked me while holding the severed arm with one hand. Well, I tied it up well with a rope, so you don’t have to hold on tight like that…

“Bjorn has something to say to you.”

huh? talk?

“Let’s do that later.”

“But…”

“Why? Don’t you trust me?”

At my words, Misha hesitated and then gave a small chuckle.

“I believe.”

Okay, then preparations for departure are complete.

“…But how do I get there?”

As everyone on board boarded the ship, Raven stared at me with great embarrassment.

‘Oh, that’s right.’

How does the ship summoned to the land depart?

It was a difficulty that I hadn’t thought about when making the plan.

But…

‘If I didn’t think of it, wouldn’t it be because I didn’t have to think about it?’

Well, it seems like that too.

As soon as I heard that word, I could see my body moving naturally.

“What are you doing? You’re not going to lift this whole ship…?”

If you know that, stay still.

make people weak

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

He let out a scream close to screaming and lifted his stomach with both arms. Then he took a stride and headed towards the water’s edge.

It seems that it will be difficult for me to hold it for a long time.

“Everybody hold your breath.”

He spat out his last advice and plunged the boat into the sea.

“good.”

Like a ship made of wood with strong buoyancy, it began to rise rapidly as soon as it entered the water.

Since [Priestess of Storms] mode is turned on, there should be no problem after going up.

It won’t be swirling like before.

In fact, even in the game, escape by boat was not blocked at this stage.

‘……I’m gone.’

It wasn’t until the ship was out of sight that I turned my back.

There is only one comrade who decided to remain here today… or should I say comrade? Anyway, Amelia was looking at me with curious eyes.

“You really care about one colleague.”

“Because they are small and precious guys.”

“……Right.”

Come to think of it, he has a habit of filling most of the answers with ‘yes’. What annoys me is that no matter how many times I hear it, it’s hard to tell what ‘that’s right’ means.

I just decided to do my own thing.

“I was really surprised by you. You said so willingly to play a role like this.”

Our mission now is decoy.

When it finishes charging, it starts to use indiscriminate AoE, which is not the kind that can be blocked with a shield.

It was clear that weak magicians, priests and wounded warriors would not last even a few seconds.

So, at this stage, we decided to move on to Plan B and retreat.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t go to all of them.

If someone doesn’t pass the time, this guy will chase after us, splashing around with his tail.

He can’t win even if he dies while on a boat at sea.

“A role like this…”

Amelia chuckled.

“Certainly not something I would do.”

He seemed to admit that he himself looked strange.

Then why did he want to stay?

“But it’s because I’m the type of person who can’t afford to live in debt.”

Wow, it was really because of this.

I was genuinely amazed.

How can you show your loyalty like this just because you saved someone from almost dying?

Isn’t it a good personality to use?

‘If the opportunity arises later, I’ll have to pay off the debt.’

“What is it? Those eyes just now?”

“Son, did you get caught? I was thinking highly of you in that you value your promises.”

“… empty words.”

Amelia frowned in displeasure.

“It’s okay, so don’t look at me like that. The escape method you talked about seemed certain, and if it weren’t for the calculation that it was worth trying, I wouldn’t have stayed.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“Barbarian, what does that mean ‘I see?’

“That… it seems to be coming to an end soon.”

As soon as I moved my gaze, Amelia stopped chatting and stared straight ahead.

「90%.」

The whirlwind surrounding him was gradually fading.

This means that the final phase will begin soon.

Kwak.

I energized the hand holding the mace.

Did you feel something ominous about this?

“The original plan must have been to just hold out for a while and then escape, right?”

Amelia questioned my warlike appearance.

So, I also tilted my head.

“……Are you trying to hold out?”

“…Then it would be more efficient to put in the mace and only carry the shield, right?”

huh? What does he keep saying?

What does that have to do with this?

I said emphatically.

“A mace is a great defense!”

As I always say, the best defense is offense.

Especially if you’re dealing with a guy who’s almost dying.

“So, take up your weapon too! Don’t think about killing time by dodging meanly and roughly!”

“…….”

“Isn’t that the life Misha saved anyway!”

“…………Right.”

Slowing down is not tolerated.
