Chapter 244
To be precise, the man who borrowed his name and face to participate in the ceremony washed his face with cold water.
Chow!
Every hit of water washed away bits of meat from the skin and flowed down the drain.
If you look at it, you’ll get sick of it.
‘…It’s been a while since I’ve been offended like this.’
It was only in the early days of rolling and rolling in this familiar yet unfamiliar world that I experienced many worse things, but those days are already a long time ago.
‘…I don’t need to approach it, I just have to watch it from a distance.’
Afterwards, the man who returned to the banquet hall checked the table where he had a conversation with the barbarian earlier.
For some reason it was empty.
When I approached the servant and exchanged a few words, it seemed that he had already left in a carriage.
‘…I don’t mind going back to the Mage Tower like this.’
After thinking for a while, the man left the palace.
Then, using both invisible magic and floating magic, he flew over the city.
It’s called Stealth Flight Mode.
‘There he is.’
Looking around from a distance of several tens of meters in the air, he soon found a carriage ridden by Bjorn Yandel.
Seeing the escort knights on horseback around, he couldn’t have mistaken it for a carriage.
‘It looks like it’s going home.’
The man, who inferred the destination from the direction of the wagon, soon followed the wagon.
Well, the expectation that that barbarian would be the person he was looking for has faded a lot, but…
‘Maybe it’s acting.’
It is not yet a possibility.
Because even he was the first barbarian to act without a brain like that.
Rather, there are parts that are more suspicious.
‘…If he had an understanding of the game, he would have quickly figured out how to act in this world and moved more ‘perfectly’ than anyone else.’
It can be interpreted either way, whether positive or negative.
So, more information is needed.
What kind of person is Bjorn Yandel?
‘I thought he was living with three women…’
The man chased after the carriage eagerly, ignoring envy.
If you’re living together, it won’t be a normal relationship.
If you take a peek at his daily life at home, you will be able to find more definite clues.
It was a car that followed at intervals with such a thought.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
The carriage exploded.
***
An explosion that reminds me of that day’s pillar of fire.
However, its power was nothing compared to that at that time.
fortunately.
「The character’s HP is below 50%.」 「All resistance and resistance values increase due
to
the passive skill [Hero’s Path]」
In addition, the reddened skin peels off, and the whole body is itchy and throbbing.
It seems that the muscles are also very damaged.
But…
“Assassin! The Assassin is here!!”
I did not die in one room.
And the body moves too.
‘Damn it.’
Enduring the soaring nausea, he quickly put himself on the ground and stood up. And when he left the palace, he activated the returned subspace ring.
‘As soon as I get out of the palace, I’ll put on the equipment first.’
Regret is too late no matter how fast it is.
I first took out the shield and put it on my forearm.
Then something exploded and emitted black smoke.
‘Is it like a smoke bomb?’
There were several times when my vision was blocked, so I hurriedly focused on my hearing without panicking.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
As the incident happened in the middle of the city, screams of civilians were heard everywhere.
“Serious!”
“Down with the evil weightlifters!”
The knights responded and the sound of weapons was heard.
But that’s not what I should be concerned about.
Among all the noise, I have to distinguish the one that threatens my life.
For example…….
Tadat.
yeah that’s it
As soon as he heard the sound, he turned his body in that direction and lowered his posture.
That moment.
Quaang!
Shock is transmitted over the shield.
You guys can see my position even in the smoke.
There was no reason to keep quiet.
“Keplo! Are you alive!!”
I shouted as hard as I could and confirmed the safety of him who was right next to me right before the explosion.
There was no answer.
is it dead Or just pass out?
Swoop.
First of all, I quickly put my hand into the subspace and took out the mace.
Then the gong sounded again.
Whoo!
In my experience, this kind of sound usually comes from ‘slashing’.
Trusting the judgment made by my unconscious, I twisted the shield obliquely.
cooong!
Soon there was a crash on the left side of the shield.
In this way, there is no problem even if you cannot see the front.
Whoo-!
It swings the mace with all its might towards the place where the enemy is believed to be.
Kwajik-!
It tasted like hand.
um i got this right
Since he’s an assassin, I thought he’d be agile.
“Cuck!”
Something in the smoke screams like a dying horse and flies away, crashing into it.
It was then.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Who can see it, an artificial gust of wind blew and pushed back the black smoke.
‘Magic? Who is it?’
There were no wizards on our side.
That said, there’s no way the assassin will clear the smoke.
If so, who wrote the magic?
Leaving behind a short question, I checked my surroundings.
“Yandel-sama! Are you all right!”
The number of knights standing still was only four.
On the other hand, the masked people surrounding the wreckage of the shattered wagon are over thirty.
‘Isn’t Amelia… missing?’
I glanced over at the masked people to see if anyone had a body similar to Amelia’s.
There were about three candidates, but I wasn’t sure.
“There was no mention of a wizard!”
“What are you waiting for! Kill me now!”
After a moment of panic at the magic that drove the smoke away, the assassins resumed their assault.
They know it too.
Since it was a surprise attack in the middle of the main street, it would be difficult if we didn’t finish it in a hurry.
“Protect Yandel-sama!!”
When my location was confirmed, the knights who were fighting each other hurriedly approached me and formed an escort formation.
It seems like he knows why nobles are so obsessed with training knights.
How loyal and trustworthy are these people.
‘I don’t think I can afford to wear armor.’
After grasping the surrounding situation, I neatly erased my lingering feelings and manifested my superpowers. Originally, it was exactly what I thought I would write at the training ground tomorrow.
‘transcendence.’
Bayon’s ability [Transcendence].
It is a unique skill that is both passive and active.
When deactivated, the performance of all passive skills is enhanced by 1.5 times.
[Acid bodily fluid] becomes more powerful.
[Hero’s Path] or [Ironskin] increase the value increase, and Manticore’s [Genetic] is similarly applied.
This alone is a good enough skill.
But…
“The character has cast [Transcendence].”
The true value of this skill lies in the active use.
「The skill used next will be strengthened.」 It
is not a simple enhancement, but a unique additional effect for each skill that is temporarily added.
「The character has cast [Giantization]」
「By the power of the transcendental body, the ability inherent in the skill is opened.」
The reason why the core of Shield Baba is 5th grade [Giantness] is this skill.
「Your physique increases in proportion to your strength.」 This
is not a fixed value, but a physique bonus that is applied in proportion to your strength.
‘I think it’s about 5m.’
Also known as gigantic (transcendence) mode.
‘At this level… It must be roughly similar to the time before Ria Kiss.’
Estimate your new size based on your unusual eye level.
It was on the same level as when Misha’s older brother had the [Unclean], which was 1.5 times bigger.
There is an ogre’s essence, but it’s not quite satisfactory because the settings haven’t been finished yet.
But…
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
It cannot be denied that he has become much stronger.
[Giantness], which increases body and threat values in proportion to height.
And [Bacterial Eruption], in which the body value increases again according to the threat level.
Both are applied at the same time, and the power boils.
Therefore…
‘Leap.’
Kick off the ground with all your might and fly up.
The expected landing point is in the direction of the masked man holding a bow and aiming at it.
Aaaaaang-!
The moment the ground touched the ground, the masked man rose high with a bow.
「The character’s total weight is over 500kg.」
「The special terrain effect [Recoil] is applied in addition to the damage range.
」
I was worried because I didn’t wear armor.
“uh?”
A masked person who spits out stupid sounds in the air, not knowing what situation he is in.
Why didn’t I know you would come from this side first?
As I swung the mace like a baseball bat, his neck snapped at a bizarre angle.
Kwajik.
Okay, just one…….
‘Huh?’
While looking for the next target, a masked man jumped out from the lower right corner of the car.
An exquisite angle that would have been square in the original.
However, I saw this accurately and avoided it.
It was thanks to the basic stats of the new essence.
[Bayon]
Soul Power +100 Soul Regeneration +30 Strength +25 Pain Resistance + 30 Bone Strength +30 Anti-Magic +20 Vision +25
Vision +25.
This stat increases the angle of view, not eyesight.
So in the game, there was a bonus to detailed stats like evasion rate.
Kwajik!
After kicking the bouncing guy in the abdomen with his foot, he took a leaping stance again.
But did you come to your senses only then?
The knights screamed in fright at my sudden action, the target of escort.
“Come here!”
who will protect whom
I pretended not to hear and leaped towards the next destination. And with the same combo as before, I took out one by one.
There was no such strong enemy yet.
Kwajik-!
I felt it earlier when I was simmering a guy in the smoke, but the level is strangely low.
‘Is there really no Amelia class?’
I even thought of using [Leap] to jump far in the slightest danger, but soon even that anxiety disappeared.
I will know better when I face it in person.
If it wasn’t for the initial explosion, the knights alone would have been enough to defeat it.
But what else is this?
“…I told you that you only need to deal with the Ki Knight!”
As I started to rampage and the knights also fought individually and applied pressure, internal divisions began among the masked people.
“At first they said that one explosion would kill you!”
“I’ll just go back Didn’t anyone say that this guy fought so well!”
When one or two people saved themselves and left the battlefield, all the masked people chose to run away. It
was absurd.
‘What are these guys?’
They didn’t seem
to have
the slightest sense of purpose. Even such doubts began to bloom, but
first of all, I moved my body hard and captured the bouncing masked pups.
The number I caught was 4.
Unfortunately, all the rest ran away.
“…You worked hard.”
A knight who awkwardly came to me and saluted.
“Ah, you guys did a good job too. Are there any dead?”
To my question, the knight replied that three people were dead.
Fortunately, Keplow wasn’t caught in it.
He and I got caught up in the explosion at the very center, but he still had that much durability.
I fed him the potion on time, so I’ll be back in a little while. ‘Then , let’s interrogate
.’
The battle is over, and the guards are probably coming soon. I grabbed one of the captured guys and took off the mask. Hidden
behind was a man
I didn’t know . “…Huh!”
A man who can’t even make eye contact.
First of all, he reached out his hand and shoved it into his mouth.
“Keep kkeuk kkeuk!”
I tried diligently tossing around, but there was nothing arbitrary.
Hmmm,
is there a difference between cartoons and reality? Shouldn’t they be holding on
to it ?
Really, what are these bastards doing?
I asked while wiping the spit from sticking in my mouth on his clothes.
“Who sent you?”
“…….”
He didn’t answer.
It wasn’t a meaningful action. If
you
lose a little, your mouth will open on its own.
That’s when I raised my fist thinking about that
.
A flash of light
!
Something flew like a meteorite and landed on the ground. At first, I
thought
the assassins had run away and shot a catapult,
but … “Hans
Eifreia
…?”
No
, what the
hell is it
?
Another man jumped down from the sky where Hans I fell, and approached Hans I without paying any attention
to
me
. I couldn’t even say a word.
The air that changed the moment the man arrived didn’t allow it
. Yes?”
“I didn’t tell you, I misunderstood the person—”
“Even if you say it, it doesn’t work for me?”
Soon
after the man reached out his hand, the protective shield around Hans I helplessly tore away
. The white-faced Hans I.
The man bluntly pulled him up by the collar
and said,
“As expected, you are right. GM.”
“…….”
“Quickly release Ben. Otherwise, you’re really going to die here.”
