Chapter 113
Episode 113 Reunion (1)
First, the equipment of the trio was gathered in one place.
And he gave Caron the first choice.
“If you need anything, take it.”
“It’s not that shameless.”
“Don’t hesitate. Didn’t you catch one?”
“If that’s the case …….”
I took some of the loot Charon had collected to see if he didn’t have what he wanted.
A good quality leather bag and several potions.
And…
“Two-handed hammer? Do you only take that?”
“I don’t think it will fit because it’s small anyway.”
well that’s right
Soon, Charon smiled brightly, holding an ax and a sledgehammer in both hands.
“I think I can kill someone who is hard to kill with an axe!”
The expression method was not sophisticated, but the contents were reasonable.
Blunt weapons are more effective against monsters like Stone Golem.
More than anything…….
‘Arm barbarian is originally a national rule of dual wielding.’
Seeing Karon’s much more plausible barbarian look, I was happy.
So, I handed over a few more pieces of equipment.
“Even if you don’t need it, keep it and sell it.”
“but……!”
What is that but.
Seriously, why are barbarians so nice?
If he was a human, he would have revealed his greedy eyes.
“Don’t forget that the stronger you become, the easier the young warriors become.”
“…Okay. I’ll definitely sell this stuff and turn it into equipment that will help me.”
The reason for forcibly handing over the equipment while instilling a sense of mission was simple.
Well, if I had swallowed it alone, I would have benefited by about 200,000 stones……
In the long run, this would be my advantage.
“Be stronger, Charon son of Tarson.”
“I will. Surely for the sake of my own people.”
Of the six races, the Barbarians are the weakest. The potential of each individual is sufficient, but most of them die in the beginning.
Of course, just because one person changes, the wind of change won’t blow right away…
What if the number gradually increases starting with this guy?
So, what if a virtuous cycle continues where young warriors survive even a little bit and become top explorers?
‘Then the barbarian’s power will gradually grow.’
Like it or not, now I am a barbarian.
The higher the influence of the parental family, the more the effect of falling water is enjoyed.
Just look at the wizard.
Without the huge community called the Magic Tower, would they have been able to be so arrogant?
“Then let’s move slowly. If someone sees us for no reason, it might annoy us.”
In that sense, he escorted Charon to the first floor and gave advice on various things for the rest of his time.
When looking for a team, choose a place with at least one member of a different race. If there is someone who acts friendly, be extra vigilant, but don’t show it on the outside and show your gaps.
“Now I think I know what it means to hide an ax in innocence!”
Is it because of the great example I set for the trio today?
Charon got my point right.
“I think it would be okay to deliberately save a human for a night friend and then pretend to be asleep. If he has a plan, he will definitely reveal his true intentions!”
Ah uh uh…
this is something I didn’t tell you about…
“…that’s a good way too.”
Was today’s event of being betrayed and treated like a monster really that shocking?
Indeed, it could not have been a terrifying application.

[23:49]
Around the start of Day 5.
After taking Charon to the first floor, the two of us returned to the land of the dead. And I sped up a little and focused on the search.
Because I unintentionally spent almost a day.
On the 10th day, the second floor is closed.
In other words, if you are not going to finish this exploration on the second floor, you need to move a little busier. We even have work to do before going to the third floor.
“Eh? You’re going to catch the Death Knight? Will that happen? I heard that it’s a monster that’s hard to meet …….”
6th grade monster Death Knight.
2층 망자의 땅에서 아주 희박한 확률로 마주칠 수 있는 씹새끼 중의 씹새끼.
I also had to renew my character several times before I figured out the conditions for this guy’s appearance.
“Don’t worry. Meeting them won’t be a big problem.”
Are you used to this kind of conversation by now?
Misha didn’t bother asking where he got that information from.
I just expressed a different concern.
“Umm, but even so, I don’t know if the two of us can catch it.”
It was not an incomprehensible anxiety.
It’s a level 6 monster. We met on the 4th floor from time to time, but now it’s not a full party, it’s just the two of us.
‘Since I’ve only hunted level 8 so far, I don’t think I’ll even know how strong I am.’
Misha has a history of being active on the 4th floor with two integers before meeting me.
Although he lacks specs, he has covered what he lacks with his martial arts skills obtained through hard work.
But in the meantime, I signed a contract with the soul water, which was my lifelong wish, and this time I got two essences.
Even one belonged to the Guardian.
‘If you combine it with combination synergy… in fact, it’s safe to say that it’s several times stronger.’
I judged it coldly from a gamer’s point of view.
With the strength of the two of us, the hunt can be successful.
But there is no need to explain this in detail.
Because a barbarian has a speech technique suitable for him.
“Misha, trust me.”
“If you say that…you can’t even say you don’t like it.”
“That’s all right.”
I must have obtained Misha’s consent. After that, I continued to search the area.
Deathfind Chimera Wolf Ghoul Road, etc.
He expanded the search radius by defeating the 8th grade monsters he could see.
And…
“I guess I’ll have to go camping for today.”
The 5th day car ended without any result.
The next day, the 6th, was all the same.
[22:40]
A little over an hour left before the start of Day 7.
I let out a long sigh.
‘I didn’t know that I couldn’t find it for more than two days.’
When a labyrinth is newly opened, a tombstone is randomly generated at one point in the Land of the Dead. And at the beginning of the 7th day, summon the Death Knight.
In other words, if you find a tombstone, you can easily encounter the Death Knight by riding in front of it.
But…
‘Huh, then I will.’
They went hunting for two days and went around fast, but they couldn’t find even a crumb of the tombstone.
It was an unexpected situation.
So, no matter how wide the second floor is, wouldn’t it be enough to search only the 8th grade area, not the entire second floor?
I decided that two days would be enough to find it.
‘Should I just give up on Death Knight?’
As I was licking my lips at the waste of the past two days, Misha crept up next to me.
“Don’t worry too much. How can a book always contain only the right words? There’s a huge tombstone in the land of the dead? I’ve never heard of such a thing until now.”
Well, it’s right to see this as consolation, right?
“So don’t lock yourself in the library on a fictitious day, go hang out with me.”
“…why does that happen?”
“That’s right! Hikurod did too. It’s more helpful to have a few conversations with the explorers at the tavern when you have time to read a few books!”
Now that I see it, it seems that the dwarf taught Misha only the mean things…….
He even gave her a bit of a face-off.
In fact, most of the explorers were like that.
They prefer to socialize and acquire information in a bar rather than reading a book.
There are some guys who say that drinking and playing is an extension of work, so I said it all.
“…why don’t you say anything?”
“I just didn’t have anything to say.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Stop talking about this and move on.”
I didn’t want to waste my time in a meaningless argument, so I resumed my journey.
How long has it been since then?
[23:59]
I checked my watch and brushed off my lingering feelings.
The 7th day will start soon.
And as soon as the Death Knight is summoned, it starts wandering around, so in fact, it’s like crossing the water in this exploration.
‘Because experience was the purpose in the first place…’
He took out the compass with regret behind him.
“Oh, are you finally going to the third floor?”
“okay.”
Instead of wandering around aimlessly looking for a tombstone, he turned north.
That was the moment.
“Huh? Bjorn?”
“Did you feel it too?”
“Yeah, something creeped up my spine.”
the air has changed
It’s hard to describe, but the change is so obvious that the body reacts first the moment it changes.
‘no way?’
At one possibility that came to mind, he borrowed a knife from Misha and cut the back of his hand.
Jureuk.
Acid blood flowed down the open seam when I pressed down on the blade and scraped it down.
“Ouch! What are you doing! The blade is not damaged!”
It’s Misha’s grumbling anyway.
I watched the wound and counted the time.
‘One two three four five six……’
As the number increased, a smile spread across his lips.
The wound that should have healed in seconds is still not healing.
That is to say.
「The character has been exposed to [Grudge].」
The Death Knight she was looking for is nearby.
“Healing and regeneration effects are greatly reduced.”
That’s very close.
***
‘Somehow, I searched almost everywhere and couldn’t find it. It must have been around here.’
I kept my spirits up even though I felt some kind of emptiness.
It was because of one information that I realized soon after.
‘[Grudge] has already been activated……’
The cursed aura [Grudge] is an active skill.
A skill in the form of being turned on or off at the will of a monster or a character who has acquired an essence.
Simply put, there is no reason to use it normally.
Unless you’re in combat.
[00:00]
The circumstances were quite clear.
At this point, less than a minute had passed since he was summoned.
As soon as Death Knight opened his eyes, he went into battle.
It’s not impossible that an explorer passing by just at the right time could have been caught up in it… but…
‘It’s very unlikely.’
It would be much more reasonable to assume that someone unknown was waiting in front of the tombstone rather than such a staggering coincidence.
‘Could it be a player?’
It was the first thing I thought of.
However, other cases could not be ruled out.
Didn’t the Dzarwi Clan, which was classified as a large clan, even know how to summon an Orc Hero?
Maybe the information about Death Knight wasn’t that advanced.
‘I’ll know what’s accurate when I go.’
I decided to reserve the final judgment for now and moved quickly with Misha.
It was dark all around, but it wasn’t difficult to find the direction.
Quaang-!
Maybe it was because they were fighting quite hotly, so I heard explosions all the time.
However, Misha pulled my wrist and asked if I was confused by this situation alone.
“Bjorn, did you think Death Knight came out? Who are you already fighting with?”
“okay.”
“Wait a minute! What are you going to do?”
Somehow, I have to get some experience points by burying my normal hits.
“What? If you do something like that, you might be attacked!”
Misha was horrified when I translated the future plan into our worldview.
It was a legitimate concern for her.
Although not as much as looters, the act of intruding into battle or stealing prey during battle is common among explorers. It’s perceived as extremely disrespectful,
but…
“It’s okay. I have no intention of claiming the right to Essence or Magic Stone, so I just need to pretend I thought it was a dangerous situation.”
“Eh, but…”
“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll be responsible for it—”
“You fool! Do you think I meant to take responsibility alone? Ugh, how did I get involved with this guy… Okay, let’s go! I don’t know anymore!”
Hmm, I feel a little unfair.
I’m not saying that I’m doing well by myself
. Engraving the additional information I gained into
my head, I spurred on my feet.
And
maybe
about 10 seconds had passed
?
So,
without any time to stop it, I hit the Death Knight with a mace and saw it.
Pooh-!
Okay, with this, experience points will come in.
I shouted the lines I had prepared as if I had been waiting.
“Don’t worry! Let ‘s save
you guys!
” That
‘s why
Barbarian
is a scam
.
?!]
It seems that this guy was also embarrassed by my intrusion. It may not be as much as the party of four with wide eyes open over there.
“What are you doing!!”
The human warrior closest to me belatedly grasped the situation and shouted. Next up
was a fairy archer in the back row.
“What do you mean help? If you don’t back down, I’ll attack you too.”
A voice that sounded quiet, yet sharp enough.
I pretended to be embarrassed and shouted.
“I was just trying to help!”
“Who asked for help?”
“Huh? wasn’t it? I think I heard it…”
“…It’s okay, just step back! If you don’t want to get hurt by getting caught up in it!”
“Oh, I see!” While having a conversation, he bounced off the
Death
Knight’s sword, which he had received several times, with his shield, and retreated to where Misha was
. The human warrior skillfully took over the Death Knight’s aggro even though he complained,
and
the battle resumed naturally
. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.”
I wanted to reassure Misha, who was worried that she would be dismissed as an ill-mannered explorer.
But the reaction that came back was a bit unexpected.
“You’re really…”
My acting impressed me. Misha,
who couldn’t speak until the end, must have been deep. Other people need to know that you are like this.”
“What are you talking about? I’m only showing this to you.”
“Huh? That too? Isn’t that a river?”
Anyway, I ended the chatter at this point and watched the ensuing battle.
How many opportunities would there be to intuit the other team’s hunting up close like this?
‘It’s not a pool party, but the balance is good.’
A human warrior who is good at tanking alone. “I’m going to go one more round
,
so stand back!” A
dealer line composed of mages and fairy archers who use fire magic lavishly.
It looks like it.’
Even a human man in a utility position who deals damage or gives buffs using the monsters he has pulled out with his summoning skills.
“That man Bjorn… isn’t he familiar somewhere?
”
A diminutive figure that seems to be around 160.
It was difficult to check the face closely because the shadow was shaded by the hood…….
but I still feel a strange sense of
déjà vu. ‘What is it? Where did I see it? ….’
It was the moment when I looked back at the reason why it was so familiar
. Avoid everyone! The attack I was talking about will come!”
The summoner stammered and gave instructions.
Thanks to that, the blurry memory became clearer.
Soon, I checked the face of the fairy near the man once more and came to a conclusion. ‘ Ah
, then that idiot.’
It must have been him.
