Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 513

Episode 513 Native American (1)

Three corpses hanging from trees.

“Cut off the Erwen line.”

First, the body was lowered to the floor for an autopsy.

“The cross section of the wound is clean.”

“Looking at the cuts, the weapon is a sword.

“…then it’s highly likely that it’s human work.”

Professional wizards and assassins agreed that the wounds were caused by weapons.

“Um… But aren’t there quite a few monsters that use weapons?”

The non-combatant navigator said that in an innocent voice, but no one thought it was a monster that killed these three.

Because the body was hanging from a tree.

“There’s never been a single case where the aggression of demonic spirits has been revealed in this way. You’ve probably seen Mr. Lockrobe at least once, right? Seeing the explorer, the demonic spirits running rampant with murderous intent show no interest in the explorer who died. ”

“Ah… now that I think about it, I think it was.”

Versil’s explanation was certainly not wrong enough for Auyen to immediately understand.

But…

“Huh… what the hell happened here…”

“Well, maybe there was some infighting among the Silver Lion Clan? Or maybe these people committed betrayal? … First of all, it’s not clear what the monster did.”

Versil’s reasoning couldn’t be regarded as 100% correct.

Not only is there a possibility that a new type of monster with a habit we don’t know about exists…

“mind pollution.”

“…yes?”

“Maybe it’s mental contamination. Monsters don’t do those things, but humans in madness don’t do anything strange.”

This possibility clearly exists.

And as a leader, I have no intention of ignoring that possibility.

“Cast Versil’s ‘Tranquility’ spell.”

“Ah yes!”

So, I did the basic preparation first.

It’s not as much as ‘Soul Barrier’ magic, which is most effective against mental pollution, but ‘Soul Barrier’ consumes a lot of mana.

“Is it possible to maintain the level of tranquility magic at all times?”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

Okay, then, if there is a problem later, we will place an additional order at that time.

Swoop.

I raised my head and looked up once more at the place where the corpses were hanging.

Then he asked Misha, who was next to him.

“Misha.”

“Yes?!”

“What was your impression when you first saw the bodies hanging from the trees?”

“Ah ah… well…? It might have seemed like a show off. Like a display of prey…”

Yes, that’s right.

“How about you Emily?”

“It felt more like a threat than a show off. Like the fact that it was right in front of the exit…

”

“okay.”

Amelia nodded and asked in response.

“So how did you feel?”

“It’s like you. It felt like a warning to me too.”

As I muttered, I heard a strange sound next to me.

“Ugh.”

“What’s wrong, Misha?”

“Nothing…”

Anyway, the conversation ends here.

I stopped paying attention to the three corpses.

Who is it that hurts them like this?

There is a huge contradiction in being a monster, and there are parts that don’t make sense even if you assume it’s a human.

But what do you mean?

‘If you go further, you’ll understand.’

If you’re curious about the dark, go in.

Just as there is an old proverb in the labyrinth, there are things in the world that cannot be known just by watching.

Therefore…

“We’re leaving.”

With the feeling of revealing the map first, I made Auyen draw a map and went into the jungle.

and how long has it been

“Ouch! My tree is moving!!”

I finally encountered my first monster.

The guys who told me about this island weren’t ‘Diamont’ who hunted on the shore.

“It’s a new species of monster.”

Name and rank unknown.

Classification will most likely be plant species.

There is no case of a beast species or natural species attached to a moving tree.

Whii Iik-!

A vine that swings like a whip.

Um, is this the guy’s flat?

coo-!

Looking at the weight transmitted through the shield, the power itself is not that great.

Considering that it’s average, it’s about 5th grade?

Of course, it was too early to be relieved with that information alone.

It’s common knowledge that mage class is weak on average.

Ted deed deed-!

The branches trembled as if blown by the autumn wind, and soon light spheres fell along with the leaves.

The light sphere, which was very small at first, quickly grew in size, and by the time it reached the floor, it was several times larger than it was at first.

It also had a clear outline of the shape.

“It’s Cidria!”

Cidria, a grade 5 plant monster.

It’s small in size and makes a cute sound, but it’s name is the same as that of a troll.

[Beep beep beep beep…!]

Seeing that Seadria was summoned, it must be [Growing Seed], one of the summoning abilities.

What are the remaining skills?

While holding the seven Sidria summoned while thinking about it, I was able to check the next skill before long.

Toduk todoo doo! Do-do-do-do-do!

A magic orb that shoots like a machine gun.

It is the [Magic Burst] of the 4th grade marine monster Palpupura.

Chii-i-!

It looks like [Enchanted Powder] that spews out like dust.

‘The overall level of difficulty is about level 4.’

I checked to see if there were any more hidden abilities, but I didn’t bring out any additional active skills.

To be honest, I still don’t know what a passive is.

However, I didn’t think it would drag on any longer, so I just ended the battle at this point.

Quaang-!

A giant tree that splits in half as soon as it hits its side with a hammer with all its might.

“Oh! Did you finish it?”

Strangely, however, the corpse turns into light and does not disappear.

what? Was the passive a resurrection system?

It was a time when I was slowly approaching with such thoughts.

[Quya?]

A tiny creature emerges from a knothole in a tree split in half, sees us, and starts running away.

As a user of [Dungeon and Stone], I was blown away.

“That’s the main body. Don’t miss Erwen!”

As soon as he hurriedly gave instructions, Erwen punished the fleeing enemy.

Phew-!

As the word says, fireworks that fly and explode like an arrow.

?The Oyster Squirrel has been eliminated.?

Soon, two things remained where the dust disappeared.

A magic stone estimated to be around the 4th grade.

And…

?No.9999 Beginner’s Luck has been activated.?

It was the essence.

***

“What should I do?”

“What should I do? Isn’t it a new type of monster? Of course I put it in a test tube.”

After permission was given, Versil immediately took the test tube and headed for the essence, and I was lost in thought for a while.

“This guy’s essence is more useless than I thought.”

“Certainly… I don’t know what embodied ability is, but the ability itself wasn’t very powerful…”

Misha added further explanation to Amelia’s muttering.

It looked a little strange.

Because it was Misha who didn’t talk to the other team members throughout the expedition.

‘Did I get used to it?’

It wasn’t a proper conversation, but it was a positive change that I didn’t keep my mouth shut like before. Well, if I say that for no reason, I think the atmosphere will be weird.

So I just accepted it naturally.

“Maybe not necessarily.”

“What do you mean?”

“Because this type of person often has their own abilities.”

There are quite a few cases where parasitic entities have different skills depending on their host.

Either by strengthening the host’s skill itself, or by adding a new skill.

“This guy will go to the library later and check his ability.”

“What’s your name?”

“Well, does it mean anything?

“…You never know about that. I’d say it’s Nanari.”

“Yes, do as you please.”

Looking at it, it seems that even if it is not this time, at least one monster named ‘Nanari’ will eventually be born.

“Hmm… Nana-ri is good too. Summoning Cidria and using Falpu-Pura’s superpowers. I’d rather call it Si-Fal-Pura—”

“stop.”

Bersil, why the hell is he doing this?

“This guy is Nanari. Until the official name is confirmed, we will call him that.”

I just cut it out.

“……Kuhhmm!”

Fortunately, Amelia seemed overjoyed.

‘Then, let’s end the name problem at this point……’

After Nanari (temporary) essence collection was finished, they slowly started moving back to the exploration formation.

“…a truly bizarre island.”

The island was eerie enough for everyone to understand Auyen’s murmur.

The jungle terrain itself was ordinary and dark because there was no light. Explorers were familiar with it.

But should there be a difference in detail?

“Uh… I stepped on it again without knowing……”

When walking in the bush, sometimes you get stepped on.

Something that splattered as if it had stepped on mud.

If you lift up the bush and check underneath, sure enough, something like a chunk of meat that you can’t tell which part of which monster has fallen. “I’m really upset.

Why is there

such a thing on the floor?”

Of course, this is just a matter of smell.

Visually, it was so grotesque that even I suffered a bit. Should I say it’s like putting different types of monsters at once and crushing them with a hydraulic press?

‘No, why are the eyes sticking out in that place…’

Anyway, we find them hanging on the floor and sometimes in trees.

It feels like entering an island with a mad alchemist as the final boss.

It was a time when I was slowly making a map and searching.

“Prepare for battle!”

In the dark, monsters have been attacking.

A monster that had heard the information beforehand, ‘Diamont.’

“Diamont was defeated.”

The battle itself was not very difficult, but for the sake of investigation, the experiment under the guise of battle continued for about 40 minutes.

And as a result, Diamond’s ability to embody.

I was able to figure out the passive skill.

[the unclean one].

A skill that increases the performance of all active skills by 1.5 times in exchange for reducing the maximum value of Essence by 1.

‘I expected it because all the actives were level 3.’

I can’t believe the passive is 5th grade.

It’s a little steamy.

‘If it had a good passive, it could have been used as a graduation essence.’

Even if he doesn’t know the other skills, [Hellfire] is a skill that produces the performance of the graduation essence.

It’s because the original owner’s passive and stats suck.

‘It’s nice to see new combinations coming out, but it must be really difficult to find the right combination—.’

“mister!”

Then Erwen urgently shouted.

I haven’t been able to rest for a while after the battle, but is it already a monster again?

The moment I woke up with such a thought.

“It’s not a monster! It’s a human!”

Important additional information follows.

“person?”

“The number is four. They’re running fast as if they’re running away from something…” ”

They’re not coming this way. What are they going to do?”

what to do

“Let’s go. I was wondering what happened. They must have known a lot since they came to this island before us.”

As we are all seasoned explorers, we quickly cleared our seats and formed a main wave formation.

Then, with Erwen at the forefront, he moved quickly.

“I’ll see you soon!”

Soon after Erwen stopped, explorers appeared over the bush.

“uh……!”

Their reactions as they ran with their breath running to the tip of their chins were complex.

“Yandel… Baron…?”

Embarrassment, alertness, surprise, delight, hope…

Fragments of countless emotions passing by in an instant.

Did you just slowly come to your senses?

“Buy and live!”

“…save me!”

Explorers throwing down their weapons and rushing at us without questioning why we are here.

It was the type I hated the most.

No, I know you’re happy, but you have to do what you have to do.

“What were you chasing?”

“Ah… ah… a freak monster! He lives on this island…!”

“Are they chasing you? I don’t feel anything else.”

“Oh no, it won’t!”

“Then why did you run like that?”

“…It’s because I managed to escape after being caught in the village of old bastards. I thought there might be a chase…” ”

I see.”

Since the information I needed to check right away was over, I let go of my strong grip.

“It seems there are no monsters, but don’t lower your guard.”

There is no need to unnecessarily lose strength, so the situation is downgraded from combat posture to alert posture. Then, he handed a glass of water to the explorers he encountered.

And as soon as I finished drinking, I started asking questions.

To be honest, there was a part that made me tilt my head as soon as I heard it.

“If you’ve calmed down, tell me now. A village?”

“It’s literally. It’s a village of monsters living on this island…”

“You mean there’s a colony?”

“It’s different from that. We don’t even know how to explain this…….”

The explorer who rides on the ice may not have come to his senses yet.

Instead of him, the woman next to him opened his mouth.

“Baron, those monsters are completely different from normal monsters.”

“what?”

“First of all, they communicated with a clear language system. The wizard said it seemed like they were using an ancient language, but… ah ah! That’s not what’s important.”

Soon after, the woman shook her head and continued.

“The village we were taken to was really huge. There were houses inhabited by countless monsters… and there were families with children in the streets.”

“…….”

“It’s like a native… living here.”

It’s a native…….

It was a pretty interesting story.
