Chapter 218
“……sorry.”
The battle ended when an explorer closed his eyes and entered the dimensional gate.
The reason is simple.
There are still knights all over the passage blocking the explorers, but…
“Let’s surrender.”
“Yes? But the dimension door magic we’re going to ride on isn’t ready yet…”
“The dimension gate was the last one. I feel sorry for you guys.”
“Dae Captain, what are you talking about—! Aagh!!”
As soon as a knight lowered his sword, the explorers rushed in and randomly trampled on the knight and beat him with their fists.
“Tell me! What are you talking about! The last dimension!!”
The knight simply endured all the violence.
He also answered questions even when his teeth were blown out and blood vessels in his eyes burst.
“It’s literally.”
“You crazy bastard! Even though I knew you would be abandoned…!”
“Because someone has to stay. Your anger is justified. So please vomit on me. This body still has that much value.”
“I will kill you!!”
“For Lapdonia…!”
Some knights surrendered, while others wielded their swords to the end.
However, the results were not different.
The explorers pushed through the numbers, broke their lines, and soon ruthlessly unilaterally vented despair and anger.
Of course the explorers knew.
That the knights were in the same situation and would serve as a valuable force.
I just needed someone to unravel the emotions of the moment.
It was a time when similar scenes were taking place all over the center.
“Ah! What are you! Push—!”
In one aisle, a barbarian appeared, pushing the crowded crowd away with ease.
And…
“The article there.”
He said while grabbing the arm of the explorer who was beating the knight.
“To kill.”
“Don’t let this go?!”
“Difficulty.”
“What! They’re bastards who abandoned us, so you can’t believe you’re also one of these guys—!”
At that moment, the face of the explorer, who was violently resisting, was struck by the barbarian’s fist.
Poo-!
Soon, the explorer’s body collapsed powerlessly.
“You said it was difficult.”
The barbarian let out a rough breath and said.
At the same time, there was silence for a moment.
“…….”
There were no explorers who would attack the knight anymore.
at least around it.
***
The situation in the center was not much different from what was expected.
Except for one thing.
‘I didn’t expect so many knights to remain.’
It’s a happy mistake.
They won’t come under me and listen to orders, but they’re still high-level personnel.
Just walking around this cave while breathing would be a good bait for me.
“Mr. Yandel!”
One timing later, my colleagues show up along the road I pushed away.
“Ah, if you come, ask me here.”
“yes?”
“It means to protect me well so that I don’t die.”
After entrusting the half-dead knights to a colleague, I left the aisle and proceeded to the common center.
“Ah! Stop that…!”
Screams are heard from all directions at every step.
Most of them are articles.
yes you are human too
It hurts as if you’re going to die if you get hit.
“……Damn it!!!”
A wrathful rage erupts.
On the other hand, there are also those who take a step back from the scene of violence and sit in a daze, frustrated.
Even their anger felt meaningless.
“I’m all going to die.”
“Cecilia……. I’m sorry…”
Those who accepted their death as a given.
Among them, there are those who wear the mark of a large clan. It was a team unit, and there were also groups of one or two people.
Well, since it was a large clan, they probably couldn’t go back with all their members.
Isn’t it the middle of the day that even the article was abandoned?
It will be selected from the lowest priority.
Because tickets are limited.
“Stop it……! No matter how much you do, nothing changes! They are the same people as us!”
Occasionally, voices were heard trying to calm down anger.
In this case, it was divided into two categories.
A person who thoroughly relies on his emotions and raises his voice to protect morality and humanity.
And…
“Are you all crazy as a group! If we do this, we will all die in the end!”
Those who have not yet let go of the string of hope.
A person who puts their feelings of anger behind and rationally tries to stop their atrocities.
In a way, I would fall into this category.
They are also the ones who will be the most powerful for me in the current situation.
Turbuck.
Eventually, you stop walking.
In front of it is a monument that I have seen many times.
The Last Sage.
The only building in the labyrinth built to praise the achievements of Diplan Groundel Gabrielius.
[In memory of that great first step]
There is a hidden piece in this monument.
It opens the cracks on the first floor.
However, it is impossible to enter the rift and avoid the war.
There are no 8th grade magic stones… and even if
there is, it is useless.
The last time the rift opened was a month ago.
I didn’t bother going because I thought it would be better to explore the 5th floor, but it was opened naturally.
I don’t think there’s anything that would change if I regretted it.
“Keukkeuhmm.”
Cough and clear your throat.
Still, I’m not really worried.
In addition to their outstanding physical figures, if there is a special characteristic of a barbarian, it would be their distinctive booming voice.
“Gmmaaaaaaaan———!!!!!”
[Giant] state of being fired.
That cry was enough to pierce everyone’s ears even in the chaotic situation.
For a moment, everyone stopped their actions and drew attention.
Of course it wasn’t long.
‘What is that guy?’ Explorers who draw attention after staring at them with such eyes for a while.
‘Yes, this is not enough.’
Actually, I didn’t expect much.
Could something like that happen in real life?
“I am Bjorn, the son of little Balkan Yandel!!”
Whether ignored or not, they continue to shout and shout.
One barbarian rule.
If the voice didn’t reach, it was because the voice couldn’t be louder.
Therefore…….
“If there is a fellow countryman who knows me, follow my words from now on!!!”
Ask for support.
I’m not the only barbarian here.
“Little Balkan Yandel’s son Bjorn!”
“Great warrior!”
“This is the order of the next chieftain!! We must follow it!”
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Starting with the shouts of Charon and Einar, the barbarians spread throughout the cave shouted as if they had been waiting.
We barbarians have been watching me ever since I shouted.
I don’t know what I’m trying to do, but since I’m my own people, I must have thought that I should help.
“Once again—! Everyone stop—!!”
After I shouted, an afterword followed.
“I say it again! Everyone stop!”
“I say it again! Everyone stop!”
“I say it again! Everyone stop!”
Again, the crowd stopped and turned their attention to me.
I wouldn’t know if I had shouted to break my neck alone.
As if there were announcements, the same shouts were repeated everywhere, so I couldn’t help but be curious.
“What are you doing, don’t stop!!”
“It’s all because of these bastards, so you have to put up with it?!”
However, the negative view is still bigger.
There were still a lot of guys who beat up the knights in anger.
That’s why I kept shouting.
“Once again—! Everyone stop—!!”
Like a simple ignorant barbarian.
Say what you said honestly and do it again.
Repeat endlessly until my request is fulfilled.
It was when the number of times I shouted like that was about ten.
“Once again—! Everyone stop—!!”
“Somebody shut that bastard’s mouth!!”
The arrows of anger that do not lessen no matter how much I spit them out eventually move to me.
“If you’re going to side with the royal family, die too!!”
There was also an explorer running towards me.
“Protect the next chieftain!!”
The barbarian warriors who saw this rushed to protect me.
But I stopped them like that.
“Stop!!! We can’t fight among ourselves!!!”
The naive barbarians stopped moving at my cry. But it wasn’t the explorer who ran towards me.
Whiik.
An explorer who wields a sword as if facing an enemy.
Kakak!
I roughly expected it after seeing the equipment, but as expected, I didn’t get a scratch on my body.
No, I wonder if a normal iron sword will get stuck.
“Uh uh…….”
I didn’t even block or block it, I just maintained that position and received it with my body.
The difference in ability that is revealed enough by that alone.
Did you want to be late?
“…….”
As if the excitement had gone and his head had gone cold, he backed away as if he was afraid of me.
where to go
I grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him.
and asked
“Do you want to live?”
“……?”
“I asked if you want to live!!! If you’re going to die anyway, why are you running away!!”
The explorer’s face turned white when he shouted as if he was threatening.
“Tell me, do you want to live!!”
Like a cornered mouse biting a cat, the explorer who couldn’t overcome the pressure looked me in the eye and shouted.
“Who would want to die then!”
It was the line I wanted to hear.
Because of this guy’s unexpected behavior, everyone was looking this way.
I let go of the explorer’s shoulders.
“Then run away. If you think you can survive.”
Although he was an explorer who gained freedom of body, he did not turn around and run away.
didn’t exactly
The explorer sat down on the floor making a popping noise as if his legs had lost strength.
But do you still have energy left?
He shouts as if to shake off his anger.
“Then what do you mean!”
what to do
I’ve said it several times so far.
I took my eyes off him.
Then he looked around and shouted again.
“Once again—! Everyone stop—!!”
Life as a barbarian taught me.
Foolishness becomes persistence someday.
If you don’t give up first.
***
It was only for a moment, but stillness came.
It was truly a miracle.
All that barbarian did was scream. They didn’t use violence, they just shouted silently.
At first I thought it was stupid.
I thought that no matter how many times I shouted, the current confusion would not be eroded.
So he decided that only after all the knights were dead would everyone find reason and come up with a countermeasure, so he and his clan members had taken a step back from the situation.
But…
“Amazing.”
The one-sided violence inflicted upon the knights had almost ceased.
The result of one barbarian.
If so, how was this possible?
I still don’t know the exact reason.
I’m just guessing.
It is often said that words have power.
Maybe there was more power in the words of that barbarian.
Just as one action is more deeply engraved in the mind than a hundred words.
Maybe that stupid stupidity made me have expectations.
food.
No, maybe it’s just that I’ve come to my senses after watching stupid things over and over again.
why isn’t there such a thing
Even if you are having a serious conversation, if someone says something stupid, the atmosphere changes.
Of course, this is just speculation.
It is not known what the actual cause may be.
Maybe it just made me wonder what that barbarian was doing because he wanted to say something.
But even so, one thing was clear.
That barbarian did what he couldn’t.
Tier 5 Explorer Tiny Vulcan.
Even though the armed forces he possesses and the forces he leads are much weaker than himself.
he did it
“Vice-captain.”
“Yes please.”
“It’s over just watching. If there’s someone nearby who’s attacking a knight, be sure to stop it.”
The man gave an order to the vice-captain.
and moved on
“Where are you going, Captain?”
“I wonder what the barbarian wanted to say and did that. Is it just an idiot or……” ”
……?”
The vice-captain tilted his head, but the man held back his words.
Something was even funny about it.
But…
“Everyone stop! He’s right. Stop for now! And let’s calmly put our heads together!”
just like he did now
Throughout the aisle, people who had been bystanders are seen raising their voices and revealing themselves.
pounding-!
For some reason, my heart raced.
The man stared at the monument.
“Once again—! Everyone stop—!!”
The barbarian was still screaming.
The people who supported him were prospering accordingly.
“Everyone stop!”
Now, even those who had nothing to do with him raised their voices.
Seeing that, the man thought about it without even realizing it.
“From now on, those who cause trouble will be considered enemies!”
all this happening right now.
It’s like a scene from a hero’s story in a folktale I read as a child.
***
A person approaches.
“I am Melter Fend, the leader of Clan Nartel. If there is a way to overcome this situation, I would like to hear it.”
Then it was a woman.
“This is Lacey Nareth of the Heindel Church. I’m here to thank you for preventing this tragedy.”
The third was a wizard.
“He’s a servant magician from Lapdonia. Oh, by the way, I wasn’t abandoned, I stayed by my own will. I don’t like the leader.”
After that, people continued to gather.
Priest Wizard Clan leader Vice-captain A team leader or individual. Those who belonged to a group but were abandoned or voluntarily left behind.
“Couldn’t you stop shouting? Everyone’s waiting for you to say it now.”
“Tell me. Is there really a way? It’s not just that the knights told me not to kill them out of pity. No!”
After all, is the barbarian ‘do it!’ invincible?
Having achieved what I wanted, I turned off the no-nonsense infinite repeat play mode.
“Nice to meet you all. I am Yandel’s son, Bjorn.”
The conditions were finally set for conversation.
