Chapter 450
If so, is it possible for such an aristocrat to simultaneously serve as the head of a tribe?
If someone asks that question, the answer is very simple.
No one knows.
‘Because there is no precedent.’
Of course, it was obvious that if the first case occurred, there would be a big uproar in the aristocratic world.
Again, the nobles are the king’s subjects.
Nobles should act only for the king and kingdom.
Not one specific race.
Even if there is no legal or institutional prohibition, there is an unwritten rule.
But…
“We’ll move.”
The tribal chief never commented on such political issues.
I didn’t know if it was because I didn’t know the unwritten rule.
However, I gave up my curiosity about it.
What does it matter whether the chief knows it or not? Even if he knew, the outcome would not have changed. The tribal chief is also a barbarian.
After all, things like that are fine.
Just like the thousands of warriors shouting right now.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaa!!!”
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that all the warriors in the Holy Land had gathered, and the place they moved to with a large crowd was a place named ‘The Land of Proof’.
It is the very place where warriors who fight and fight by rolling around anywhere during a small quarrel or training find a noble ‘duel’.
‘Well, at least it’s all about digging a big hole in the middle of the forest.’
In fact, ‘The Land of Proof’ was really roughly made.
The ground is not flat, it is full of pebbles, and sometimes duels are held in this state due to rainwater.
But…
Throbbing-!
Upon arrival, the warrior’s heart begins to beat.
So, what does it matter whether it’s a magnificent marble floor or a tall statue standing there? The important thing is that the chief of the tribe brought me here.
Unlike the previous fights, he didn’t just swing an ax.
‘Something… It feels like I’ve been recognized.’
What a strange thing.
I’m not even a real barbarian warrior.
pounding-!
why are you so excited?
coo-!
The tribal chief standing on the other side jumped down a pit more than 7m deep.
cooong! Dirt dust that blooms with sound.
Before descending after him, he exchanged eye greetings with Einar, who met his eyes.
By the way…
‘What is it?’
Once our eyes met, he nodded as if cheering, but he didn’t smile as cheerfully as usual.
I felt like that out of the blue.
‘…Maybe he thinks he’s stolen from me.’
Isn’t Einar the one who read books in the library and tried various things to become the chief of the tribe while I was gone?
Maybe my challenge today didn’t feel welcome—
“Bjorn…”
Einar then approached me and shouted in a rigid voice, completely suppressing his smile.
“You win and come back! Got it! I will only believe in you!!”
I became somewhat vain.
What, was it just that he was more nervous?
‘Thanks to that, the tension is relieved.’
I smiled and put my fist on Einar’s outstretched fist.
“Okay. Just trust me.”
After saying that, I also jumped down the pit… no, into the land of proof.
coo-!
A tingling sensation rises from the tips of the toes, and moist soil dust blooms around. From above, Einar’s voice broke through the roar of the crowd.
“The great warrior above promised victory aa—!!”
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
If it’s like this, I’m embarrassed and I can’t support it.
‘I had no intention of losing.’
Soon I was staring straight ahead.
Through the flying dust, I could see the chief of the tribe approaching slowly.
trudge trudge.
For some reason, the sound of footsteps pierced through the loud noise.
Turbuck.
The tribal chief stopped at some distance and took out the large ax slung on his back. In response, I quickly grabbed my hammer and shield and took a stance.
And…
like
introducing yourself like a duel between nobles.
A notarized priest takes oaths from the participants in fancy words.
At least there was no chatter like the explorers’ dogfight, saying that they would kill each other and kill them.
only.
“…….”
The moment they exchanged glances and informed each other that they were ready.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
No matter who said first, they rushed at each other.
***
Ax and shield collide.
Aaaaaang-!
A composition in which the chief of the tribe, a few centimeters taller, struck down a huge axe.
In that state, a struggle ensues.
‘At that time, I was lifted while holding the ax even while using [Giant].’
Old memories suddenly came to mind, but the result was clearly different from before.
Yes, at that time, it was before I received the ‘Blessing of the Earth Dragon’ from the dragon, and there was no essence of Bayon, Stormgus, Vol-Herchan, or Deep Sea Giant.
There is no reason to push by force now.
But…
「The character has cast [Giant].」
First of all, he grew up in size and pushed the tribal chief away with an axe.
Actually, I didn’t like it from
a
while ago.
“The character has used [Wild Eruption].”
“The threat value temporarily increases by 3 times, and the body value increases in proportion to the value.”
Scream at the tribal chief who has been pushed back and swing the hammer.
「The character cast [Swing].」
「The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength.」
Instead of dodging, the chief blocked it with an axe.
Kwaaaang-!
A roar erupted from the clash of weapons.
「Gudnulf Olga cast [Frictional Heat]」
As if a bomb had exploded right in front of her eyes, heat passed by her cheeks.
But that’s all.
“The target’s weapon absorbs a certain amount of shock.”
“Heat was created.”
That’s a stack-type skill.
“……!”
The performance gets better as the heat stacks, but at the beginning of the battle, it’s a skill that doesn’t do much except to reduce the impact a little.
The large warrior’s body bent as if it were being crushed.
‘Okay, the angle isn’t bad.’
As he kicked the boat with all his might, the chief’s body rose like a soccer ball.
Airborne in technical terms.
Whoa-!
There was no reason to miss the chance that the enemy was floating in the air, so I moved the hammer like swinging a baseball batta.
just that moment.
Paaaa-!
The tribal chief tramples through the air and rises high.
「Gudnulf Olga has cast [Flame Leap].」
One of the movers that are highly compatible with [Leap].
Unlike the Manticore, it can be used in the air, but the movement distance itself is a bit shorter.
And above all, the additional effect is different.
「Increases the fire damage of the next skill used by 200%.」
A double damage option that is difficult to attach to mobile devices.
Because of this, it was actually used as a graduation move in the flame route…
「Gudnulf Olga cast [Thunder Flame].」
The tribal chief landed behind me and struck down his axe.
Kwaaaaaang-!
Explosions bloomed over the shield, and shock rang to the bones for the first time in a long time.
“Heat has been created.”
It felt like fighting a large monster.
He swung his hammer with the mindset that returning as much as he received was the duty of a warrior.
And…….
Pooh-!
what is this why
The tribal chief took three steps back as the hammer hit his chin.
‘Ah… this man is strong too…….’
Is it because most of the recent fights were with Minkas?
It felt strange that the blow that I swung like a check was hit. Well, as strong as it is, the level of toughness is different from Minkae.
Quaang-!
Before recovering, he swung the hammer again, but the tribal chief blocked it with an axe, as if he had come to his senses.
“Heat has been created.”
Is it 3 stacks now?
It’s probably like that, but you won’t have to count it exactly. Anyway, when I reach 10 stacks, I’ll give you a tee on my own.
“Heat has been created.”
“Heat has been created.”
“Heat has been created……..”
“…….”
Around the time when the stacks were accumulated to a certain extent by exchanging blows.
“The next blow is strengthened by the charged heat.”
“Gudnulf Olga cast [Flame Leap].”
“The next skill used increases fire damage by 200%.
” took down
So how do you put up with this basic combo?
Tadat.
There’s nothing you can’t block if you want to block it, but I just stepped back and increased the distance to manage the condition of the shield.
And…
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ax slammed into the bare ground, creating a crater big enough to bury three people.
‘Okay then, is it 10 stacks now?’
For reference, this kind of normal attack boost is a multiple of 10, so I had to be careful because it exploded every time the stack was stacked.
If I get hit in the head, is my country in danger—
‘huh?’
As I was thinking about that, the tribal chief slammed the floor with a thump.
It was the skill of Hellsmith, a grade 3 monster.
「Gudnulf Olga cast [Tap].」
「The flames dwelling in the earth wake up.」
To be honest, it was a bit strange.
I didn’t know that I would pull out a special move while I couldn’t even stack it properly yet.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ground cracked and the fire engulfed the chieftain’s body. No, would it be more accurate to say that it was covered rather than swallowed?
[Tap] is a kind of buff skill.
「The damage of all fire skills is greatly increased.」
「The body value increases significantly in proportion to the flame sensitivity level.」 「
Continuously burns
the surroundings.」
Fire-!
The ax he wielded was blocked by a shield, but a stinging sensation emanated from his tanned skin.
Well, it became a little less when I wore the Orb of Fire.
「Activated Orb of Fire.」
「Reduces continuous damage of all fire series within a 15m radius by 50%.」
Good thing I brought it too.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
“Yandel’s son, Bjorn, is driving the Flame Warrior!!”
“Ooooooooooooooo—!!”
After that, several exchanges of hands continued, and like the cheers of the barbarians onlookers, it was me who immediately took the lead.
That’s because I have an advantage from the opposite sex.
Kwaaaang-!
The ax is blocked with a foot and foot hammer, but it is impossible to break the posture because it is not pushed even by strength.
Roaring-!
The reduced fire damage is just covered by the natural regenerative power…
「The next blow is strengthened by the charged heat.」
Avoid attacks that might be a little dangerous.
It would be unfair from the tribal chief’s point of view.
I don’t know if I’m just a pure tank, so I can’t deal damage.
Poo-!
For a warrior who was all-in on defense, the weight of the hammer that he swung tactfully must have been fierce.
Oh, of course, that didn’t mean they had an overwhelming advantage.
Aaaaaaaang-!
As expected, the tribal chief was not an easy opponent.
「The next blow is strengthened by the charged heat.」
To put a fake, I wielded the ax without the [Flame Leap] combo and crushed the adamantium shield.
“Gudnulf Olga cast [Resonance of Mother Nature].”
“Gudnulf Olga cast [Fuse].” He fired
several threatening skills that matched the concept of a flame warrior.
And not only that.
「All stats are temporarily increased by the charged heat.」 As soon as
50 stacks were accumulated, she began to run more and more crazy.
「Gains regeneration in proportion to the fire damage dealt by Gudnulf Olga’s unique effect [Ember].」 「
Gudnulf Olga gains all stats in proportion to the resources consumed by her unique effect [Scorching].」
Golden The various effects of the Sun Imprint route were also more annoying than I thought.
Seeing that [Scorching] is activated, it seems that the imprint has been at least level 9
.
The chief of the tribe was like a model of a high-level barbarian warrior, enough to chew the praises inwardly.
Powerful Dil hard body Regenerative ability that is not afraid of getting hurt.
And most of all…
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
To the point that the more cornered they are, the more violent they become.
‘The other person said… he said he was a warrior of flame…’
Now I finally understood the story of the tribal chief’s youth.
Did you scout for the largest clan at the time, treating you as a team leader? It was because of the attack on the 8th floor crack, the Frost Lord’s Palace.
At that time, I wondered if the chief of the tribe was like that.
‘Certainly… this is worth taking.’
Among the previous tribal chiefs, the tribal chief was reputed to be on the weak side, but the tribal chief was strong enough.
But it wasn’t enough to overcome the obvious weight class difference.
‘Slowly.’
Time to end the fight.
‘One, two, three……’
As soon as he memorized three into his heart, the flames that wrapped around the chief’s body died down.
「[Tap] is cancelled.」
The buff, which was nothing short of a special move, finally ended.
From this point on, I continued to attack even more vigorously.
Kwaaaang-!
[Swing] was cast on all attacks, and [Transcendence] and [Eye of the Storm] continued to link, giving him no time to breathe.
Of course, this would quickly run out of MP, but…
‘Because I haven’t even used [Soul Dive] yet.’
The chief’s resistance intensified as if he felt my will to end the match.
And…….
Kwajijik-!
The shield, which had been crushed by receiving the ax several times, finally shattered.
how much will it cost to repair
Even in the moment of urgency, I thought of that and felt sick to my stomach, but in the end, it was a business that remained.
If it wasn’t for the shield, it would have been my arm that was smashed.
Poo-!
Using the hand with the shield removed, punch the tribal chief’s jawline with a fist. The tribal chief swung his axe, glaring at me even as his jaw turned.
Kwaaang-!
Blocked the ax with a hammer.
and that moment.
“All the heat has been charged.”
The chief’s ax began to emit red light as if it had just come out of the forge.
After that, yes, you’ve built a full stack.
I was trying to finish it somehow.
「The increase in all stats due to heat is greatly increased.
」 Blood flowed from his forehead, and his entire body, whether it was his arms, legs, or abdomen, was abnormally swollen.
To be honest, it’s to the point of questioning how they’re standing at that point…
‘Ah.’
Only then did I realize
The other kids watching me must have felt like—
“Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
Then the tribal chief asked me.
If you’re going to talk about that, you should stop at least that red axe.
Still, since it was the first time he spoke during the battle, he listened while concentrating on avoiding the axe.
“You’ve gotten stronger.”
What was it you were trying to say?
“If it’s you, I think I can trust the tribe.”
The look in the chief’s eyes saying that was far from that of someone who accepts defeat. In fact, what I said next wasn’t much different.
“But…”
The chief of the tribe shouted as if he were roaring.
“As expected, losing is embarrassing!!”
“…….”
“So! It’s me who wins…!!!”
After shouting that, the tribal chief fought aggressively, ignoring the harsh blows of the hammer.
My response to this was the same as before.
Dodge what to dodge, block what to block, hit what to be hit and swing the hammer until the enemy is knocked down.
how much time had passed
“————!”
“—— ——— ——!”
As if wearing earplugs, the noise around you is drowned out.
The warriors on the cliff must be screaming with all their might right now.
All I could hear was the noise of battle.
It wasn’t particularly strange.
“——— —————!!!”
Why don’t you say something like that?
Barbarians hear only what they want to hear.
Now it was the breath of the enemy, and the sound of the feet touching the ground…….
Whoa, whoa!
It was just the sound of the wind.
Tadat.
It wasn’t something I looked at and avoided.
My body just moved first.
I spurred the ground and stepped back, and at that moment, a red-hot ax grazed my upper body and slashed it from bottom to top.
“……!”
what is that just
how did i avoid it? If it was true, I don’t think I would have known. No, more than that, what did you do so the ax came up from that angle?
Meanwhile, goose bumps are sprouting up your spine.
Several questions run through my mind.
On the other hand, the body had already finished its judgment and was beginning to act.
Kwajik-!
Swing the hammer and hit the hand holding the axe.
Even with his wrist bent abnormally, the tribal chief did not let go of the axe.
So I hit the hammer once more.
Kwajik-!
Only then did the ax fall to the floor with his wrist completely shattered.
However, it was my misunderstanding that the game ended there.
“……?”
The tribal chief stared at me, clenching a fist with his one free hand.
An unspoken sign that the fight isn’t over yet.
‘Ha… What are the real barbarians…’
All kinds of emotions rushed in.
At the same time as the feeling of being sick of it blooms, I also think that this is how we are like our barbarians.
I also had a feeling of regret.
Since everyone is watching, I wanted to go to a hotter KO match.
‘What happened…….’
We, the barbarians, will surely like this.
coo-!
So I threw the hammer on the floor at random.
[Giantization], which was active, also ended.
And…
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
The tribal chief worked with them until he was satisfied.
Poo-! Poo-! Pooh-!
It seemed like today’s main character wasn’t me.
“The winner has been decided…!!”
“Yandel’s son Bjorn! Yandel’s son Bjorn is the new tribal chief…!!”
In the end, the succession of the tribe ended long after lunchtime.
