Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 487

Episode 487 Pilgrim (5)

“Pilgrims hurry up!”

Kwajik-!

Breaking the heads of the Zokjok Empire soldiers who appear, run through the passage.

It was still the case that his stats went up a little every time he caught five people, but in the current situation, it wasn’t so obvious.

‘Anyway, at the current speed, I think I’ll be able to get there in an hour…’

Even though I’m moving forward with all my might, there’s no sign of my dizzy mind being sorted out easily.

“Bjorn… When is Erwen coming?”

Even Einar was worried about this, but what about me?

“…….”

Did something go wrong?

Maybe injured or dead… isn’t it?

My heart is burning because I can’t be nervous.

But right now there was nothing else I could do.

Except for believing that Erwen would come and running away, as it had always been.

“The character has killed four hundred and five Imperial soldiers.”

“All values increase by +1.” “

The character has defeated four hundred and ten Imperial soldiers.”

“All values have increased by +1.”

“The character has four hundred and fifteen Imperial soldiers. Killed……?

?……?

How much more had passed like that.

’30 minutes.’

At that time, as the expected arrival time got shorter and shorter, Erwen’s worries grew even bigger.

Took.

I stopped moving without stopping once.

“I told you, pilgrim.”

“…….”

“There is only one way for you to get out of this cave alive.”

He was blocking our way.

***

There is one part I don’t understand.

It wasn’t that we were chasing from behind, so how could this guy stand in our way?

Even our stats went up, so we moved faster.

‘That…caught up?’

A sense of incongruity rises.

But there was something else I had to do before I could clear my doubts.

“Prepare to fight Einar.”

As soon as my order was issued, Einar also put the body of his colleague, who had been carrying it well until now, on the floor.

“…Get some rest, wizard.”

Dreadfear, who had been watching us like that, sneered coldly.

“Stupid things.”

what. The reason I didn’t jump right after seeing it was because I just thought it was worth a try.

‘It’s possible with the current stats.’

Cover the upper body with a shield and lower the body.

It’s just a habit, but not a meaningful attitude.

What was the meaning of a cheap iron shield in front of a knight using an aura?

“…….”

The time when the confrontation continued in silence for a while.

The guy muttered as if spitting out.

“My offer is still valid.”

Is this kid really crazy?

I can’t believe I still couldn’t throw away my lingering attachment to it.

However, since he seemed to want a conversation, I took the opportunity to open my mouth.

“……What happened to Erwen?”

The doubts and anxiety that I had in my heart throughout the hours of running and running.

The guy answered briefly.

“If that woman is a pilgrim, she’s dead.”

“Damn it.”

“You’re ignoring your inner cries.”

I just asked

It would be foolish to believe that word naively as it is a boss mob with a traitorous concept.

“Faith never changes the truth. No matter how much you believe in justice, you are nothing more than filthy traitors—”

There was no reason to hear more.

“Einar!”

Shout the signal and dash forward at the same time.

As soon as the distance was reduced, he pulled out his aura and counterattacked.

Therefore…….

Tadat.

Backstep before entering radius.

Taking advantage of the moment he swung his sword at me, Einar narrowed the distance with him even more.

And…

“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaa!!”

As soon as he struck down the sword with Taesan’s force, he twisted his body to the side.

Quaang-!

The sword passed the place where he was and crashed into the floor.

However, it is still too early to call it a failed attack.

Breaking down your posture by alternating hit and run and inserting your weapon into a bigger gap.

Because that’s the basics of success.

Tadat.

The moment I dodged Einar’s sword, I threw a shield that wouldn’t be of much help to him.

And as soon as the view is obscured.

Tadat.

Dash quickly and swing your mace.

Of course, the guy reacted this time too.

“……!”

A sword that gets in Mace’s path.

It was clear that if they collided like this, the iron mace would break in two.

Swoop.

Forcibly force it to twist the track.

Whoo-!

As soon as the mace cut through the air without touching the sword.

Pooh-!

The sword stabbed by Einar dug into his shoulder.

‘Okay, so I guess I won the first place.’

Of course, I wasn’t going to be satisfied with this.

There is no reason to step back from here and give it your time.

Combat is basically a battle of numbers.

attack

block

avoid

In a fleeting moment, you have to choose one of these three choices, which changes your next choice.

That’s why we diligently limited his options.

Tadat.

The guy on the defensive focused on blocking and dodging.

As the risk increased, the option of attack itself disappeared.

However, even the choice of blocking or avoiding was not free.

‘left.’

Yes, I knew I would dodge to the left with that stance.

Poo-!

His stance is distorted by the series of consecutive attacks that flow like water, and he forcibly chooses the next best course of action to reduce further damage.

As a result, it is easier for us to read the next move, and the opponent loses more options.

It’s kind of a vicious cycle.

But…

“…….”

No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn’t let his guard down.

That’s right, he’s a guy who even has a room called come. In the end, a battle always had variables.

Just like this.

Whiik-!

This time, I just pretended to hit and turned the mace’s trajectory before it touched the sword, but the result that came out was completely different from before.

“……!”

The sword moves along with the mace as if anticipating my actions.

Judging that I couldn’t lose my weapon, I had to forcefully twist the track one more time, even using my back strength, so I had no choice but to naturally expose the gap. He didn’t miss the

chance

and thrust his kick into my abdomen. There was no major damage so far, but the problem came next.

It was a situation where he also consumed a lot of turns while counterattacking.

Pooh-!

Einar’s sword pierced his thigh.

and at the same time.

Pooh-!

A knife was also stabbed in my stomach.

‘Oh, it stings.’

I didn’t know it would come out so boldly.

Even when he saw me stabbed, Einar didn’t say if he was okay or not.

Like a veteran, he just continues his attack one more time.

“Huh!”

I quickly picked up my body and returned to battle.

It’s not like the blood stops just because you’re back anyway.

What matters is not how much it hurts.

Can you kill this guy before I die?

If the raid is over by catching this guy and you can go outside, it’s okay to get injured.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

A bloody battle follows.

The stats increased by this much and the two of them were facing each other, but it wasn’t easy.

In the first place, the numerical superiority soon disappeared.

“For the sake of the Empire…!”

Imperial soldiers constantly appearing out of nowhere and rushing like moths.

Because of these guys, the battle difficulty went up dramatically, but there were still advantages.

Slow-!

It’s been a weapon refill.

Swoop.

As soon as the mace is cut off, grab a weapon from the corpses of fallen soldiers nearby and run again.

A sword, a hammer, or a mace.

form did not matter.

It just needed to be long enough to wield with power.

Quaang-!

Arms Legs Body Shoulders Eyes Ears.

Regardless of the part, the more my body is damaged, the worse his condition becomes.

Whieik-!

The sword, which had the spirit of a knight, gradually loses momentum and slows down its movements.

Auras are also smaller than before.

One of his arms was wobbly, and his left leg, which had been stabbed twice by Einar, was limp because he couldn’t use it properly.

‘Now soon.’

win

In this state, he will fall before us.

With that thought in mind, I hit the guy’s temple with a hammer.

?Current Captain Dreadfear’s health is less than 15%.?

As if a bomb exploded, the body flew off and crashed into the wall.

The shock transmitted through the back of his head shook his eyes, but he quickly got up and checked the front.

“Fuck.”

I couldn’t come out if I didn’t want to curse. “

Current

Captain Dreadfear cast [Eternal Nightmare].

”

“The offer is……”

“……”

“Valid.”

damn it’s valid.

I asked in reverse.

“Are you……”

“……”

“Are your parents parrots?”

He didn’t answer my question.

Just stabbing my stomach with a knife without saying a word.

“…Your mirror game…”

After that, his eyes darkened.

***

“The character’s HP is less than 5%.”

“[Narcopenia] is activated.”

“Natural regeneration is temporarily greatly increased.”

“The character falls into a [stunned] state.”

***

Darkness in the dark.

Think while feeling the sensation of floating on the flowing river.

Dreadfear, Lord of Terror.

How the hell did you make this kid to catch?

The answer is simple.

impossible.

I was mistaken that I could catch it thanks to the sharp increase in stats, but it was just a trap.

He’s not the one I made to catch in the first place.

That’s what it means.

‘Wrong.’

I was wrong.

Instead of fighting, you should have just run away as soon as you see it and head out of the cave.

‘It was a tag game from the beginning.’

Raising his stats was just a minimal correction so he could run away from him.

A head-to-head match was not the answer from the beginning.

That’s why…

“Heh heh heh heh……”

He must be paying the price for choosing the wrong answer now.

?The character’s health is over 15%.?

?[Stunned] status is adjusted to [Paralysis].?

?The increase in natural regeneration is slightly reduced.?

When I woke up, Einar was carrying me.

“Catch it…!”

A soldier shouts from behind and Einar runs hard to avoid it.

“Huh? Vi Bjorn…? Are you awake?”

“…….”

“It’s okay… is it! Can you hear me?”

He forced his mouth that didn’t move well.

“I’m… I’m fine… I’ll start by explaining the situation…”

“Ah ah! That’s right…”

Soon Einar explained the situation as he ran.

“After you… fell, suddenly… the whole cave lighted up and it stopped moving… Taking advantage of that gap, I quickly started running with you… on my back…”

He said it stopped?

…Is it the effect of the altar?

I don’t know.

It’s my first experience with Hidden Peace, but the system log I don’t even know what’s for what because there’s no.

“Time… what?

” 5 minutes? I think that’s about it……”

The time I passed out was about 5 minutes.

“But is your body okay?”

“It’s okay… It’s okay. It just doesn’t move…….”

What kind of situation am I in right now?

After thinking about it for a while, there was one thing that came to my mind.

‘[Narcopenia].’

A passive skill that is activated when health drops below 5%.

It changes to [Paralysis] at 15%, slowly fills with blood, and then cancels the abnormal condition at 30%

.

Not only Bersil and Erwen, but I also had a starting skill. It was

too late to recognize that it was a passive skill.

‘Then… Einar seems to have something…’

What is this skill? I

do n’t know

, but I didn’t have

time

to calmly experiment and check

.

While riding Einar, I ordered directions and organized my thoughts.

As I was doing so, there was

a particularly

loud sound

. ”

“…It’s okay…”

No, it

doesn’t look like it’s okay at all. Never mind…….”

I belatedly questioned.

Einar couldn’t use both hands because he was carrying me on his back.

If so, how did the imperial soldiers deal with them?

Were there any luckily no one appearing from the front?

I was able to see the answer with my own two eyes before long.

“…Dirty pilgrims!”

A group of soldiers appeared in front of the passage we were heading towards.

Einar’s choice was simple:

not to stop.

No, rather. Speeding up and rushing at the soldiers.

Fu-wook!

Sharp weapons were wielded on his exposed body with his arms behind his back, but he endured it by being careful only at the vital points.

And as a result.

Big and small injuries in three places : shoulders,

arms, and

legs .

However, Einar passed the soldiers in an instant.

The soldiers who broke through joined the other soldiers in pursuit of us, and Einar’s breathing became a little rougher than before

.

I couldn’t say anything as I watched the scene with my back on my back.

But I wonder if I was worried.

Einar asked me,

“Bjorn… Where… are you hurt?”

“…Stop. ”

This is too reckless.

In this state, not only is it certain that I will collapse soon, but even if I do arrive, how will I treat that injury? In the absence of a

potion?

I’d rather put myself down and hold out until the [narcolepsy] goes away, and then move together.” Wise.

But…

“It can’t be…”

Einar held on to his stubborn attitude no matter what reason he gave.

“Why… why?”

“The moment you fell… the future… Because I saw…”

“…the future?”

“It was the same when the wizard… died. At that time, I thought I was just looking at something, but… I think this is my ability…”

What the hell did he see?

Einar didn’t answer.

do. So trust me.”

“…….”

“I… will never… fall.”

Einar uttered his last words as if he had promised himself, and moved on silently without any reply

.

Regardless of whether an Imperial soldier appears in front of you or not,

it never stops and continues.
