34 Fire Warrior (2)
“Bjorn.”
The moment Ainar called my name.
The sun, obscured by the red clouds, completely crosses the top line. And at the same time, a pale-skinned man appears in the red moonlight.
“It’s strange, it’s really strange… … .”
He glanced around the ruins of the town, then stopped looking at us.
“Looking at you, I can’t stand it anymore because my intentions are boiling. Do you guys know the reason?”
Reason, well… … .
don’t you know
I don’t really want to know
I answered skillfully.
“If you give me time to think, maybe I’ll remember.”
Even 1 minute is fine, so I decided to buy time.
However, at the same time as my answer, his eyes lit up.
“Then… It’s a lust that’s too unbearable. Khhh.”
To be honest, it was a little odd.
I didn’t know that vampire cubs would do what they said.
“Khhh! Ha ha ha ha!!”
In front of several people, the vampire, who seemed to have been ripped apart as if he had received some kind of news, suddenly fell in love… … .
“Kyaah!”
He let out a roar that would have been made by some extraterrestrial life.
Chaeeng-!
The nails, the main weapon of the vampire, were already protruding out with a sharp sound.
At some point, only madness remains in his eyes, creating a reddish glow.
‘This is the same as another game.’
Come to think of it, it was the same in the game.
No matter how intelligent you are, a proper conversation is only exchanging a few words like an intro.
“I’m not used to blooming like this.”
The murderous intent emitted by the level 5 monster was enough to make you numb, but surprisingly, the dwarf was fine.
“Everyone back off!”
I was also a little amazed.
When he was a corpse golem, he only looked pathetic, but is he still a third-year explorer?
As the new vampire disappears, the dwarf comes forward and raises the buckler.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A gust of dust blowing around with a roar.
Its power was evident even after a few steps, but… … .
“Ha ha ha! It’s also heavy!”
The dwarf didn’t take a step back.
It wasn’t that his stats overwhelm the vampires… … .
All thanks to Jung’s help.
“Hikurod Murad has cast [Balance Weight].”
The ability of the 7th grade monster ‘Iantro’.
A ‘knockback immunity’ skill that prevents you from falling or being pushed when your feet are attached to the ground.
Additional options include shock absorption.
“Tarjin, you stand back!”
As the battle began, I gave orders.
However, no answer is heard.
When I glanced sideways, I saw that the carrier was already far away with the wizard in its arms.
You did a good job, but why bother?
I exclaimed as I decided to reconsider the feelings I felt now.
“Einar!”
“I’ll take the right side!”
Hado breathed together, and you can tell what you want just with your eyes.
I nodded my head briefly to the left of the vampire, and then rushed at the same time with Ainar.
“Kyaah!”
A vampire who retreats back to see if the battle-related intelligence remains.
At the same time, the half-wrinkled dwarf buckler is restored to its original state as if reversing time.
Buckler didn’t come with that feature… … .
“Hikurod Murad has cast [Emergency Restoration].”
This is the ability of Living Armor.
A useful skill that not only saves the cost of equipment, but also increases its performance significantly if you equip a magic tool later.
The dwarf who finished the repairs in an instant shouted.
“I’ll be in charge of the front, so you guys can help from the side!”
There was no disagreement.
At least he’s a dwarf, so he’ll probably hold out for even a few seconds. To be honest, I’m the least helpful here.
Ainar ate even an essence this time, and I have nothing but the clever ‘immortal imprint’.
Well, doing meat shields would help.
“Kyaah!”
At that moment, the body of the vampire who looked at us from afar was divided into hundreds of crows.
A flock of crows flapping their wings and flying towards us at high speed.
“Get as far away as you can!”
Soon, the crows that flew towards us exploded, hitting their heads on the floor.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! bang! Whoops!
The explosive power itself was not great.
However, it was not enough to avoid the blood splashing all over the place.
‘Shit.’
Of course, it’s not like the corpse golem has acid in its blood, but… … .
Considering the linkage at the back, this is more of a headache.
“Rain, Bjorn! What the hell is this!”
A red tattoo was engraved on our blood-drenched foreheads, and then the bright light scattered.
「The character has been designated as a sacrifice.」
「The physical ability of Vampire Duke Cambormere increases temporarily by the number of sacrifices located within a 100m radius.」
Ignoring the game log that somehow came to my mind, I clenched my teeth.
The vampire figure was slowly regenerating among the blood pooled on the floor as the crow burst.
Now that I’ve gotten buffs, it’s going to be more difficult to deal with in the future.
‘Is it going to be three minutes now?’
There is still a long way to go before the preparations are ready.
Will you be able to survive until then?
I shook my head.
There is no point in thinking about whether or not it will.
“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”
have to endure
With an evil barbarian grit.
***
Buff skill ‘Sacrifice engraving’.
‘Eternal Life’, whose regeneration power greatly increases in proportion to the lost stamina.
A ‘Master of Blood’ that absorbs part of the target’s ability when directly sucking blood.
Each of the three active skills possessed by the vampire shows great majesty in hand-to-hand combat.
The problem is, though, that’s not all.
This unsatisfied cub uses various black magics apart from this.
“Bjorn, another crow is flying!”
It turns into a crow and explodes, turns into smoke to dodge the sword, and uses the scattered blood to summon monsters, etc.
Vampire cubs showed the deceptive specs of high-grade monsters.
‘This is why everyone can’t even go to the 6th floor and quit the game.’
Realizing the crazy difficulty of [Dungeon and Stone], I raised my shield.
The shield had already been torn and dug by his nails, and it was almost like scrap metal… … .
Better than nothing.
Close-!
I used the recoil to bounce back and absorb the shock as much as possible.
strength, speed, and skill.
A leftover skill that I learned naturally after fighting an enemy who overwhelms me in every way.
[Please hold on for another 5 minutes!]
At that moment, Raven’s voice echoed in my head.
I wonder if the time would have been shortened a bit if I had saved the magic power to send a whisper… … .
I’ve heard some hopeful news though, and I’m feeling a little refreshed—
“Hikurod has been hit!”
—A creeping horn.
The dwarf who closely marked the vampire, showing the skill of the explorer in his third year, fell.
Although Ainar, who was nearby, rushed in and prevented the vampire from sucking the dwarf… … .
“Hikurod Murad has fallen into a state of [Unable to Combat].”
In an instant, the tide turned.

Me and Ainard are already full of shit.
It is almost impossible to stop the two of them together without the dwarf who occupied more than 50% of the stake during the battle.
‘Then I’d rather… … .’
I made a quick decision.
“Einar! Take Murad and step back!”
“However… … .”
“I’m going to stop this guy!”
“Oh, I see!”
The moment Ainar put Murad around his shoulders, he dashed forward and swung his mace.
Whoops!
A valid hit after a long time.
“Aww!!”

My brain throbs in the recoil of a successful attack.
It’s all because this crazy bastard is a higher mutant.
“Vampire Duke Cambormere has cast [Pain Sharing].”
He even fully recovered from his injuries with just one step back to catch his breath.
Damn, I’m still in pain.
What kind of dog shit do you have?
“Kyaah!”
Still, the situation was attracted to me as aggro as desired.
As usual, I double-checked that the thing I had hidden in my boots was in order.
The item name is ‘Tears of the Goddess’.
Simply put, it is a sacred object.
Although it is disposable, it can also be used for healing purposes, and can be used for attacks only against evil attribute monsters.
‘… Should I write this now?’
Of course, writing itself is not worth it.
No matter how ‘special grade’ is, it’s a special item that can only be used in ‘Blood Citadel’ anyway.
If it was used on a dwarf, power would be restored immediately, and if it was used on a vampire, it would be able to inflict considerable damage.
However… … .
‘no.’
I ended my pointless worries.
What’s the reason you’ve been steadfastly defending until now?
Because one attack is enough.
No, more than that is rather negative for us.
The chance is only once.
In that moment, you have to pour everything into it.
There is only one way for the five of us to hunt level 5 monsters.
Click.
He pulled out a bottle of potion from his waist and opened the stopper.
And the moment I poured the potion into my mouth while watching the vampire rushing towards me.
Chewy profit!
The countless number of wounds accumulated during the battle are healed and the pain rushes in like a tidal wave.
I feel like my hands are losing strength and I want to collapse right away. After all, it was close to impossible to eat potions and fight. … .
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Because what I’m trying to do now isn’t like a battle.
Whoops!
Soon, the vampire’s claws are nailed to the abdomen.
There’s such a thing as sheet metal armor, but it’s very deep, like mana.
“… … !”
Nerves that feel life-threatening send pain signals to the brain like crazy.
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
My head turns into a blank sheet of paper as if it was overloaded.
‘Chiba, if I had known this would be the case, I would have just eaten the corpse golem essence.’
Leaving behind the belated regrets, he poured another bottle of potion into his mouth.
Chewy profit!
A wound that heals quickly by stacking the healing effects of immortal imprint and potion.
“Kyaak—”
I muttered as I watched the vampire cub startled as if the current situation was not understood.
Be honest.
I feel like I’m going to get sick, but… … .
“Behel—Radha, you bastard… … ”
Pain cannot kill me.
The fact that I’m still alive is proof of that.
***
“What the hell is that person doing… … !”
Raven, who was observing the situation, hiding behind the rubble in the distance, was astonished.
Although I have seen the extraordinary strategies and hunting methods of many explorers through books. None of these were
Are you going to survive just eating potions?
“Well, there is no way it will succeed. Lord, I will die!”
Conceptually, it doesn’t make sense.
She knows because she has eaten potions several times.
The pain is unimaginable, and the severity of the pain increases depending on the severity of the injury.
But what about that barbarian now?
Chewy profit!
The bubbles are not boiling and steam is coming out, but smoke is rising over the body at all.
Even she saw this for the first time.
In this state, injury is not a problem, but death from shock is not at all strange.
In fact, isn’t it common enough to find a case of death while taking a potion?
“uh?”
At that moment, her eyes widened as she rolled her feet.
The pain that barbarian was feeling right now was beyond her imagination.
But at least one thing was certain.
It is right that you should not be able to even move in that state.
But, what the hell is this?
Close-!
blocked
in a situation where he fell to the floor.
Now with a shield that has become a lump of scrap metal.
The barbarian blocked the vampire’s nails from being stabbed from top to bottom.
As if to prove that he didn’t accidentally get caught while struggling.
Close-!
several times over and over.
Of course, not all attacks were blocked or anything like that. Even now, his whole body is being hit with eggs by the indiscriminately swinging nails.
However… … .
close!
Attacks that target the most important vital points such as the head or heart are blocked by thrusting in the shield like a ghost.
‘Is this possible… … ?’
He knew whether he was accurately avoiding the pain with his superhuman concentration, or whether it was just the fighting instincts left in his body that made it possible.
However, a document I read a long time ago suddenly came to mind.
Is it that the Barbarian’s true value lies in his mental power, not his superior physical ability?
‘Somehow, I think I understand that now… … .’
“Raven-sama, it would be better to get out of here now.”
At that time, Tarjin, who was watching the battle together, opened his mouth with a heavy voice.
They said they would escape, but in reality, they meant to abandon them and run away.
“I am not sure if I will be able to protect Raven-sama at this rate. It is so dangerous here.”
Really, I didn’t pray.
‘Who thinks they’re here because they don’t know that?’
If she could do it, she would have done it already.
Although she was often told that she was a sorcerer and had a soft heart, she was not naive enough to risk her life for the sake of the first-time explorers.
However… … .
“Are you crazy? are you leaving? Where are you?”
There’s nowhere to run.
There is only one way to get out of the rift, and that is to defeat the ‘Guardian’ and exit through the portal.
‘… Knowing that, he must be desperate like that.’
It felt like a breeze.
Even a barbarian who has just finished his coming-of-age ceremony is calmly making judgments and doing the best he can do in the current situation… … .
As a wizard, what the hell am I doing now?
“When Bjorn dies, it’s over. I have to live somehow.”
A magician is not a being who only shoots high-power magic from behind.
It is also one of the wizard’s job to coolly analyze the situation through knowledge in various fields and to suggest the most efficient way to the team.
“… … .”
Raven checked the current situation once again.
A 3rd year Dwarf warrior is incapable of combat.
The barbarian is feeding him potions and helping him recover.
No problem so far… … .
As a wizard, he hides and waits until his magical power is restored, and a human swordsman escorts him.
Again, this is pretty wasteful.
“Tarjin, go to Mr. Murad.”
“Yes?”
“Because I’m fine. At least you go over there so that even that barbarian can join the battle.”
“… All right.”
“Leave your backpack here.”
Tarzine followed the instructions without even voicing a counter-question at the somewhat nervous voice.
She didn’t even see that back, and immediately put her hand into the subspace backpack.
‘The essence of the corpse golem.’
As soon as the image is clearly recalled, the test tube is firmly held in the hand.
‘little… No, it’s a lot of money, but it’s nothing compared to your life.’
Raven slowly raised her magical powers and developed the magic one by one.
Whoops!
Accuracy support.
Projectile range support.
Orbit auto-adjustment.
If you add a few more recipes here, you won’t have to move your arms yourself… … .
‘I have to save some magic power.’
After completing the procedure, she threw the test tube in her hand as hard as she could.
and… … .
Clink!
The test tube, which flew far away in a smooth curve, hit the target and broke, emitting light.
.

“The [Corpse Golem Essence] permeates the character’s soul.”
“Pain resistance increases by +70.”
「Increases strength by +15.」
“Bone strength… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
