Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 61 Rules for Survival (4)

Afternoon of the 7th day.

That is, the time when it has been more than 80 hours since I got away from the group of dwarves and got wrecked in this damn forest.

“…….”

I am still here.

He is silently wandering through the forest, staring blankly at the fucking hallucinations and hallucinations that get worse day by day.

It is a change that occurred after the first day of distress.

“…….”

I stopped saying anything other than what was absolutely necessary.

It wasn’t because we felt bad about each other.

It just didn’t have the strength left.

Oh, there is one more change.

“…….”

I used a rope to connect Misha and my body.

It looks like gulbi woven into a rope.

It’s a know-how I learned naturally after living in the Witch’s Forest for a long time.

In this way, even if one person falls behind or falls, they can rely on the rope to find each other.

“Bjorn… Please go a little slower…”

“Okay.”

I slowed down

This morning, Misha’s condition deteriorated rapidly.

It’s not like I’m sick or seriously injured.

It’s just that fatigue has reached its limit.

trudge trudge.

I slowed down my steps, but I kept getting the feeling that I was getting caught in my lower back.

Can’t keep up with this speed?

After a brief thought, I stopped walking.

“Get up.”

“……?”

“If you close your eyes for a moment, it will be better.”

“Ha, but…”

Misha looks at me with a trailing edge.

It must be funny.

In fact, if you look at the outside, I’m several times worse than him.

‘There’s no such thing as a beggar like this.’

The cloth worn under the armor is punctured and torn here and there, and the iron equipment also has corrosion marks here and there.

These are all side effects of awakening Misha.

The passive skill of the ‘corpse golem’ that had been sealed by removing the frost spirit ring was activated.

And when fighting monsters, injuries to the extent of being brushed are commonplace, and acidic blood splattered whenever that happened, so it became what it is today.

‘It’s going to break a lot with just the repair cost.’

I smiled bitterly.

The breastplate and shield made of titanium, the second-level material, were in good condition, but the brilliance of the pure white beauty of the past had long since been lost.

But seeing that smile, did I misunderstand something?

Misha opened her mouth worriedly.

“I’m fine. I’d rather you take a break. I won’t do it!”

Thank you for the words……. but

is that realistically possible?

“All right, come here.”

Refusing further argument, he grabbed Misha by the waist and lifted him up.

I felt lethargic at the light weight.

You didn’t even have the strength to resist.

“I’ll wake you up if there’s a problem, so take a good rest until then.”

“But…”

“Use it.”

“…Thank you.”

Misha, who was draped over one shoulder, finally accepted the situation meekly.

Didn’t you just fall asleep right away?

He speaks to me in a small voice.

“Biyoreung.”

“Why are you calling?”

“…is that it?”

“Tell me.”

“Hey, it smells good…”

It smells good, so what?

Words don’t have to end.

Suddenly, I was curious about the story behind it, but……

I must have been dreaming.

A body stained with blood and sweat that has not been washed for several days cannot smell good.

I laughed involuntarily at the sound of whispering breathing that began to be heard before long.

food.

So you guys did it because you were full?

No matter how much hallucinations and hallucinations you hear, if you are really tired, you will fall asleep anywhere.

The human body is designed that way.

You don’t have to live in any environment.

‘Then let’s continue.’

I continued walking through the forest with Misha on my back.

The desire to put him down next to him and rest together is like a chimney, but…….

I can’t.

「84 hours have passed since entering the Witch’s Forest.」

「Field Effect – The Witch’s Forest is strengthened.」

「Status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] is upgraded to 5 levels.」

Field Debuff [Witch’s Eye] .

This is also the real reason why the Witch’s Forest is only recognized as an area to pass through.

The effect is simple.

If you stay in one place for a certain period of time, the 7th grade monster ‘Canivaro’ will definitely appear, and the ‘period of time’ will gradually decrease as the level goes up.

The first day lasted about an hour.

And now…….

‘It’ll take about 10 minutes.’

In fact, it has reached the point where you have to keep moving.

And the problem is that we are two.

Even if Canivaro appears, there is no comrade who can stop him, and now we have to see him as half dead the moment he appears.

It took me over 15 minutes to catch him even when I had the stamina.

In theory, another cub appears before you catch one.

trudge trudge.

That’s why I’m walking right now.

I’m tired and I’m going to die, but I still have to walk.

Otherwise, it could be a real bummer.

‘Seeing that they still haven’t appeared, can I stop worrying about them now?’

It’s the best way to think about something else when you’re having a hard time.

After one thought was over, another topic was brought up.

Today is the fourth day since I was stranded in the Witch’s Forest.

The time should have come a long time ago if Ellie had the means to find us.

I felt like I could be at peace now.

‘It seems that one of the biggest worries is less.’

I don’t know why they can’t find us.

But if I had to guess…

there must have been something variable over there.

Just like I’m left here alone with Misha.

Life is all the more dog-like because you never know what will happen when.

Anyway, how long did he go around avoiding the mobs from a distance?

Well, I think it’s been at least an hour.

[Brother, why don’t you just leave me alone?]

I raised my head at the familiar auditory hallucination.

[I’m sure he’ll let go of his lifelong wish… He’ll fall over if you seduce him a bit?] A

woman appeared next to the tree and was staring at me.

A white blouse and formal skirt.

And his characteristic arrogant and harsh way of speaking.

…my ex-girlfriend.

[It’s probably because I’m afraid I’ll be abandoned again?]

Whoopah……

So far, most of them have been shown to be hallucinations, but this one doesn’t even have that.

If you approach it and touch it, you can feel its body temperature.

[Oh, how sneaky.]

What else did he say?

Even the things I do based on my head are the same as hers.

Um, so all the hallucinations I’ve heard so far are actually based on my subconscious?

[Brother, that’s the problem. Because he always wants to know everything.]

‘That’s recognition.’

Fear of ignorance is an instinct that every life has.

[But isn’t it too much? On the subject that he doesn’t want to tell you anything.]

‘It was the same for you.’

[yes? What do you think you don’t know about me? Even though you know every nook and cranny of my body better than I do?]

My gaze moved involuntarily at the coquettish voice.

There was one change in the visual part.

“…….”

A white blouse and a short formal skirt.

Up to this point, it has not changed from before, but black stockings are worn on the long legs.

Previously, it was flesh-colored.

[Your taste is the same.]

Fuck, is this a human being?

[Leave that beast girl and come here. Brother, you just need to be with me. The other kids can’t even understand, right?]

Oh, is that so?

Without realizing it, my foot moved forward.

That was the moment.

[Make me feel good—]

The face of the ex-girlfriend, who had spread her arms to embrace everything and smiled, was grotesquely distorted.

Not like a description, really.

Poo-!

The facial muscles that clenched like fists.

For some reason, Misha, who should have been on my shoulder, was punching my ex-girlfriend in the face.

Like an agile character, with repeated hits.

puck! puck! puck! puck! puck!

what? Is this also an illusion?

I just stared blankly at the scene, feeling like I was dreaming.

It’s just…

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]

A sound like scratching a chalkboard continued and I woke up.

Before I knew it, Misha, who had dumped my ex-girlfriend, came back and was shaking me by the waist.

“It’s okay! Bjorn!”

“Uh uh uh …….”

“I killed the dryad, so hurry up and wake up!”

what? dryad?

The 8th grade monster that appears in the Witch’s Forest with a very low probability and uses the [Enchantment] skill?

Somehow the hallucinations were much clearer.

“You have killed the dryad. EXP +2」

「The status abnormality [Charm] is canceled.」

I understood the situation in an instant.

It wasn’t a field effect, it was a skill.

“…Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been in big trouble.”

I politely said thanks.

But at that moment.

“Heng, this is natural—”

Misha froze and pointed to one spot.

“Huh? Bi Bjorn? It looks like you’ve already abandoned me…”

After confirming where he was pointing, I nodded involuntarily.

“…I guess so.”

I wonder if it has already been 10 minutes since I was affected by [Enchantment].

Over there, at the edge of the bush, the 7th grade monster, Canivaro, was walking slowly.

“Killing…….”

Scattering a glimmering glare of murderous intent.

***

Canivaro.

A 7th grade monster that only appears in the Witch’s Forest.

It is classified as a humanoid undead and has a fairly high level of intelligence.

The problem is that he only uses his intelligence to kill people.

“Blood and flesh… give it to me.”

Canivaro looks at us and aims his crossbow.

The protruding fangs were already glistening with bodily fluids. Well, I don’t know about this guy, but I’m a barbarian, so I’m pretty appetizing.

It should be a bit tough because of the low body fat.

“Misha, come behind me.”

“Oh, I see!”

First of all, after sending Misha to the rear, they blocked the gap with a shield.

It was impossible to bounce more than once.

Because Canivaro has the habit of following the prey he has chosen to the end.

In fact, the fighting style was also similar to that of hunters.

“Canivaro has cast [Magic Landmine].”

Set traps around.

It is an invisible trap that explodes the moment you approach it.

Because of this, it is difficult to narrow the distance prematurely.

And in the midst of that…

「Canivaro cast [Pursuit Arrow].」

The arrow flies.

An arrow with power that is incomparable to that of a goblin archer and with a high level of accuracy correction.

Therefore, it is better to block rather than avoid.

like this.

Caang!

Receives an arrow fired from a direct hit obliquely and bounces it sideways.

Last time, Misha used a tactic of throwing rocks around to destroy the mines while I blocked the arrows.

But…

‘I don’t think I have time for that right now.’

You have to kill him in 10 minutes.

Otherwise another guy will appear.

And the process will repeat over and over again.

Until we’re done.

So now there is only one option.

“Misha, sit on my back.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Misha, who was picking up a stone worth throwing, tilts her head.

But there is no time to explain.

“Anyway, I think I’ll have to overdo it this time. So hurry up and do as I say.”

When I said it strongly, Misha was put on my back.

Immediately, I charged forward, protecting my head and upper body with my shield.

Kwak Kwa Kwam-!

Land mines scattered around the area exploded with every step, but…

I continued to run.

“What is this?!”

Misha was frightened by my appearance, but in fact, there was nothing particularly unusual about me.

Since waking up in the body of a barbarian, he has passed most of the crisis with his body.

It’s just the same this time.

The only option I could have made in the worst case scenario.

Kwak Kwa Kwam-!

The pain that breaks through pain tolerance.

You can feel your legs chewing in real time as each explosion blooms.

“Canivaro summoned the [Hound].”

In the midst of that, the summoned wild dogs attacked.

And arms, shoulders, thighs, legs, etc. It hammers its teeth into all kinds of places and shakes its jaws.

Kwak Kwa Kwam-!

Still, he did not stop walking.

Cut off the flying arrows.

The puppies of wild dogs hanging here and there were dropped with [Flesh Explosion].

It went on and on.

It was at one point.

Kwak-kwang-!

The tenth mine explodes and the body tilts sharply.

I put my other foot out and tried to find the center, but I soon realized it was pointless.

‘It’s fucking disgusting.’

The lower part of my leg could no longer be called a foot.

I don’t know if it’s a chunk of meat.

‘Well, if I’ve come this far, I’ll take care of it.’

As soon as you realize that further rushing is impossible.

I threw Misha, who was riding on top of me, away.

“Get rid of it and come.”

No answer came back.

However, Misha’s movement in the air provided the answer.

Pooh-!

Misha, who was swiftly performing somersaults in the air, pierced Canivaro’s shoulder with a spear instead of his head.

Pooh-!

A mistake that occurred due to the lack of spear skill.

However, Misha made up for her mistake by rotating her body using the spearhead as an axis, and then taking out the dagger she was wearing around her waist and driving it between his forehead.

And the time it took to get here

…

In any case, I passed the crisis like this.

Satisfied with that, I fell to the floor.

***

「Warning: Damage to a part of the character’s body has been inflicted. If not treated promptly, it can lead to permanent injury.”

***

After the battle.

Misha hurriedly came running.

and screamed at me

“Bjorn!! What were you thinking when you did that!”

A face that looks like it’s angry, but it looks like it’s about to cry.

I answered briefly.

“This was the most likely way.”

There were no other options.

And from now on, what Mischa has to do is not scold me or worry about me.

“Can you give me some potions now?”

As I collapsed on the floor with my feet chewed up and indifferently gave an order, Misha’s eyes went blank.

However, I poured the potion with trembling hands as if my request had been entered into my head.

Chiiyi profit.

An advanced potion that costs 200,000 stones in one bottle.

An essential consumable that can even recover from limb amputation as much as it is expensive.

However, Misha still looked worried.

“If you get hurt like this, even potions won’t heal everything…”

Well, that’s probably not the case.

「The character’s regenerative power is greatly increased by the [Eternal] effect.」

Undead imprint.

Vampire Essence’s high natural regeneration value.

And the active skill [Eternal].

In terms of games, my natural regenerative power would easily exceed 150 already.

Even if it wasn’t an advanced potion, it was a level that could recover even from limb injuries if given enough time.

If it wasn’t for this in the first place, I wouldn’t have done such a crazy thing.

“

What the hell!

Well, since he knows that I only have the essence of the corpse golem, is this a natural reaction?

In less than a minute, the crushed leg was healed.

Unfortunately, he was barefoot.

‘Didn’t you take off your shoes and run? If I sold it, it would have been worth 150,000 stones.’

From advanced potions to boots.

For an investment in catching one level 7 monster, the loss is enormous.

But even if I regret it, nothing will change.

I opened my backpack, put on the leather boots I was wearing, and slowly stood up.

Okay, I think my toes feel normal too.

“What the hell are you, Bjorn! It’s like the fact that you don’t get sick after pouring potions…!”

“It is the spirit of a barbarian.”

It’s real.

Even Einar didn’t groan when he ate the potion.

Although I am purely pain-tolerant.

Isn’t it the way of the world that the result should be the same?
