Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 13, 2nd Floor (3)

The number of goblins that attack me is nine in total.

There are eight regular goblins and one goblin swordsman.

Even if it was a swordsman, he was only holding a scimitar with a sword body of about 60cm, but

unlike a carving knife, it was a great blade at that point.

“Grrruk!”

Watching the goblin rushing at me from the front, I hit the temple with a short-handled hammer.

puck-!

One shot one kill. Before the goblin can fall to the ground, it turns into a halo of light and disappears.

But it’s too early to rejoice.

I’ve only killed one now.

“Grrrrr!!!”

As soon as you catch one, two goblins fly in from both sides at the same time.

A carving knife is held in his hand.

I dashed to the right and knocked one away with my shield, then immediately turned my back and hit the other with my hammer.

puck-!

This is the second one.

But I don’t even have time to catch my breath.

Before I knew it, another goblin flew from behind me.

It’s a goblin swordsman.

“Kyaaaak!”

It sounds like a snake when it’s a swordsman.

I immediately stopped moving and rolled on the floor.

Whiik-!

A sword that passes upward with a sharp piercing sound.

The goblins who saw him rolling on the floor rushed at it, wanting it to be the right time.

This is why the second floor is several times more dangerous than the first floor.

4 normal goblins. No matter how physically you press them down, it’s impossible at this point.

I have no choice but to accept the injury.

Maybe if I was alone

Fu-wook!

An arrow shot from among the bushes pierces the middle of the goblin’s forehead.

It seems that Erwen has taken the sniping position again.

Tadat!

I quickly stood up from the floor with the anti-resilience of rolling. Then he took up his shield and rushed into the middle of the enemy lines.

Isn’t it natural for warriors to pull aggro?

“Bastards! Come on!”

Block with a shield, wield a hammer, dodge, knock back with your feet, headbutt with your head, and more.

While walking on a tightrope with the blood of the infested barbarians and rampaging in the middle of the goblin formation, Erwen, who took up his position again, fired an arrow like mad.

Whoa! hooked! hooked!

The arrows fired every 2 or 3 seconds caught the goblins awake.

“That’s great!!”

Maybe it was because I was in a bit of a rush, but the arrows didn’t always hit the vitals, but…

Whoops!

Shoulders, arms, stomach, chest, thighs, etc. are sure to hit somewhere.

There were times when I was sure that I had even injected the power of the spirit into it, and there were cases where it caught fire and climbed.

I also broke the claws of the dumb goblins with a hammer one by one, being wary of arrows so as not to lose to them.

puck! puck!

Soon, the number of goblins decreased to two, and the goblins began to run away.

I ran like crazy and grabbed one by the head, and Erwen put an arrow through the back of the head to take care of the other.

“You have defeated the goblin swordsman. EXP +1”

When the combat situation ended, Erwen, who had been hiding in the bushes, appeared and approached.

“Are you hurt, Mister?”

“It’s okay. How about you?”

“Neither do I.”

“Okay. Then, let’s collect the magic stones.”

After that, we split into two and walked around to pick up arrows and magic stones.

During the melee, he also defeated the goblin swordsman, but it was impossible to obtain a scimitar or anything like that.

Just like on the first floor, it was because the clothes and weapons he was wearing also became light and disappeared.

“Here’s six outlines.”

Together with the two that Erwen killed in an ambush, a total of 11 magic stones were harvested.

Considering that I made 44 income while wandering around all day on the first day, I am satisfied beyond my expectations.

In terms of combat time, it was less than two minutes.

“Now take it.”

“Two? Thank you!”

I have 9 and Erwen has 2.

Even if they were of the same 9th grade, the distribution took into account the fact that the swordsman’s weight was a bit higher than the normal goblin’s.

“Can we keep doing it like this?”

“So, did you feel uncomfortable or dangerous in this battle?”

“No, there was nothing.”

After that, I spent time reviewing the battle and finding ways to improve the fighting style.

I haven’t been able to find anything to fix right now, but this must be proof that we’re still immature.

As the number of battles increases and experience accumulates, you will naturally get better and better.

“Okay then let’s stop here and move on.”

“yes!”

I checked the time one last time.

[01 : 31]

How much can you expect to earn by the end of day 4?

***

We moved by expanding the radius around the portal.

And after increasing the radius to over 3 km, I actually encountered a group of goblins once every 5 minutes.

At the same time, he naturally met the goblin archer.

“Kiki Kiki!”

The goblin archer, who made a slightly more distinctive sound than ‘Greuk’, was definitely a threatening opponent.

He used a small bow reminiscent of a harp as a weapon, and like the other goblins, the weapon’s arrowheads were poisoned.

He even knew how to use stealth magic.

It’s just…

“You’ve killed the goblin archer. EXP +1”

As long as I was focused, this barbarian’s body reacted to the flying arrows, so it was possible to dodge them or block them with a shield.

Well, I’ll have to be careful though.

“There’s another goblin archer! Kill him first!”

“yes!”

No matter how much a barbarian is, an arrow stuck in the head is an instant death.

When I go back to the city, I should buy a helmet or something.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

“Ha! Finally!”

After one more battle, we moved to the clearing near the portal to rest.

“You can sleep first if you want.”

“really?”

He really doesn’t know what the specifications are.

When I smiled and nodded, he sat down in the clearing and glanced at me like a puppy eager to take it easy.

“How about that backpack and blanket?”

“…Here it is.”

I set down the heavier bag and pulled out a blanket to cover it.

Then, less than a minute later, I started to hear snoring.

Dorolong Dororolong-.

Compared to the authentic barbarian style, it’s infinitely quieter and calmer, but…

he’s really tired.

I’ve been sleeping without making a sound until now.

Well, maybe it’s because I feel psychologically safer now than then.

[18:20]

We hunted around the Goblin Forest for about 15 hours.

I had to fight over ten objects each time, but the more I got used to it, the less dangerous the situation and the faster I got.

As a result, the first floor raised an unimaginable level of income.

But it wasn’t without moments of tension.

“Huh…….”

As the radius widened, he also began to encounter explorers.

A total of 11 encounters so far.

All of them were groups of three or more people, and sometimes teams of different races were also included.

As soon as we met, we passed each other keeping our distance as is customary, but each time I was exhausted.

I’m more afraid of explorers than goblins.

There are reasons to be particularly vigilant now.

“It’s a problem that he’s too pretty.”

Looking at the sleeping Erwen, I sighed.

Even though she has been homeless for several days, she has silver hair that sways and amber eyes that seem to attract people, and she has all the features of a beauty.

It’s a lucky thing for a woman… but

as an explorer, I don’t know.

Among the groups of explorers I encountered, there was one who licked Erwen’s lips as soon as he saw him.

I hope there will be nothing to worry about…

“…Am I that pretty?”

What the fuck, you were snoring just now.

“tight.”

“yes.”

Perhaps he was asleep, Erwen gave a rough answer and immediately started snoring again.

growl growl.

What is he really?

The fairy I knew wasn’t like this.

***

Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 ……

After entering the Goblin Forest, time passed quickly and soon the 7th day began.

Finally, the day to leave the labyrinth has come.

“I’m going to sleep first when I get back…….”

“I agree.”

There is only one way to leave the labyrinth and return to the city.

Waiting for the stairs to close.

At the set time, the labyrinth spits out the explorers on that floor into the city.

168 hours on the first floor, 240 hours on the second floor.

As the number of floors goes up, the period of activity in the labyrinth increases.

However, we plan to go down to the first floor and get out of the city right before the 7th car ends.

“Today, like yesterday, don’t go far and move only in the vicinity.”

“yes!”

There are several reasons to leave early.

When the first floor is closed, the portal also disappears.

It means that the means to retreat in an unexpected situation disappears.

Also, food is gradually showing the bottom.

There is also the option of buying food from explorers you meet occasionally in exchange for magic stones

…

Most of all, there were less than 10 arrows left.

No matter how strong the arrow was made with the assumption of recycling, it was unavoidable because it was a consumable item.

If it was an arrow made from the tree of the earth in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to use it again several times.

It feels like a different world. After

[22:27],

I continued to hunt for a while, then stopped after checking the time.

“In case you don’t know, I’ll just go back.”

“yes!”

Currently, we are about 4km away from the portal.

At most, it would take 40 minutes to reach the portal.

Of course, then you have some time left, but…

It would be much more comfortable to go early than to be late and not be able to go down.

I have something to share with him before we part.

“Be careful. The trap has been set again.”

I go back the same way I came, but before I know it, traps are scattered in the forest again.

It means that the goblin hordes have respawned.

Well, respawning didn’t mean suddenly appearing out of thin air like in the game.

There are often rabbit holes in the woods, and goblins always crawl out of them.

So once, I tried to wait in front and set fire using Erwen, but there was no response.

I couldn’t check the bottom because the whole thing collapsed soon after digging the ground.

Turbuck.

Erwen, who was leading the way, stopped.

“A group of goblins is about 70m away from 1 o’clock. Eight regulars, two swordsmen, and two archers.”

Now, he gives a perfect briefing so that he doesn’t have to ask again if he’s used to it.

”

Are you going

to fight ?”

This Erwen led the way through the bushes and opened the way.

Then he stopped me with a gesture, and then I moved about 10m more alone, took my seat, and pulled the string.

Whiyyyyyyyy!

The arrow is fired.

Puff!

It probably hit the goblin. He must be an archer.

He told me to aim for him first if possible.

”

Mister!

”

.I

rushed forward and hit the swordsman who was among the regular goblins with a hammer.

Puck-! Seeing how good my hands are, I don’t

think I need to hit it twice.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”

.

_

_

_

_

_

_ It

was

the same

.

I started to roughly predict which enemies to prioritize in which situation and which target to aim for.

I’m sure this will be the same for each other

. But after about a minute or so,

the

battle ended with the goblin trying to escape by breaking the back of its head. I had heard that there were two goblin archers before , but

no arrows flew during the battle until the

end

. Erwen.”

“Hee hee.”

“But if you’ve captured all the archers, tell me. It’s annoying to keep worrying about it.”

“I’m not sure if I got the last one right.”

Hmm, maybe

so. Inaccurate information can actually cause danger.

He’s really grown up now.

I’m proud of it.

” Hurry up, pack only what you need and move on.” After

“Yes!”,

I was walking around and picking up magic stones, but Erwen urgently called me.

“Mister! There’s something strange!”

I quickly went there and saw a fist-sized light orb floating in the air.

And I knew what it was.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but…

“…Jeongsu-kun. That’s definitely a goblin archer’s.”

To be honest, as soon as I saw it, I was shocked.

How can I be this good even if I’m lucky?

“That essence? This is this?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

“Uh uh uh what should I do?”

As you can see from his reaction, essence is more valuable than treasure to explorers.

Essence is the skill system of [Dungeon and Stone].

“If you eat this, goblins will Will it work?”

“It can’t be. It only gains some of the abilities that goblins had.”

For example, like the guy who tracked us by smell on the first floor. Perhaps that pursuer absorbed the essence of the ‘Saber Wolf’ at that time. “What should I do

… ..?”

How many times does he ask the same question?

The ratio is 9:1, but he seems to be greedy for this too.

“Do you want one ?”

…”

I don’t have any reason not to give it

to you, but is it an illusion that I seem to be getting more impudent as the days go by?

I smiled and opened my mouth

. It’s not an attractive item.

It should be a little helpful right now, but the total amount of essence that can be absorbed is fixed. If you

want to delete it later, you’ll have to spend a lot of money.

” …Really?

”

It’s leaking out.

Even thinking about it again, it’s strange.

Essences drop with an extremely low probability when hunting monsters. But the essence of a goblin archer instead of a normal goblin comes out on the first trip? I’m lucky enough to say that beginner’s

luck is not enough.

Maybe he’s trying to avoid some awkward sales?

“Originally, I was going to go down to the first floor and talk about it, but I’ll say it now. Erwen—”

“Hey you guys! What the fuck are you doing right now?”

Damn, I’m somehow lucky.

The car is about to promise one thing to Erwen. A cry is heard from a

distance . “Don’t move!”

A human explorer party of 4 people. After finding it

, he quickly closes the distance with a firm expression. To

be

honest, then I thought so.

”

Ah, Mister?”

“Prepare to fight Erwen

.

”
