BXBX NOVEL Chapter 458
I’m not talking about active integer settings, but in a really basic way of playing.
While hunting, a rift suddenly opens, encountering predators, or being betrayed by colleagues.
In every edition, such an emergency occurs.
Like right now, for example.
“Mister, this is…”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The hierarchical lord was summoned.
In other words, one of the explorers on the third floor put seven human corpses into the cabin.
Whether this is intentional or not is unknown.
No, I think it must have been deliberately summoned, but… ‘…Because there are
cases where it’s a real
coincidence.’
.I
was desperate for a rest in the cabin, so I burned the corpse, but unfortunately, there were those who burned the corpse first, so there was an ‘accident’ in which the layer lord was summoned. Anyway, this is not the important thing. “What about Yandel?” “First,
in
the
forest get off I can’t go to the 4th floor anyway.”
When the Lord of Chaos, Liakis, is summoned, all the portals on the 3rd floor become inactive.
To put it simply, the entire 3rd floor becomes the boss room. “I’ll
take care of it .”
Erwen used the Fire Spirit to kill three Chaos Spirits at the same time.
「The Chaos Spirit is destroyed.」
「The corresponding location is eroded.」
You have to manage the tiles only during the boss fight, but anyway, we can use Liakis It’s not like I’m going to hunt for it—.
[Goooooooooooooo—!!!!]
Then I heard the familiar howling sound from the Witch’s Forest.
Something was a bit disappointing.
When I heard this sound again, I thought it would be time to put an end to this guy. Only thing.
“Bjorn! Shouldn’t we do something besides running away like this?” ”
Then why are the four of us going to hunt down a hierarchical lord?”
Technically speaking, including Auyen, there are five of us, but no one really bothered about this. That doesn’t
mean the impossible turns into possible. No.
As we moved as far as possible from the border of the forest, even those familiar faces began to appear
. Something unpleasant creeps in over there? What is that?”
“It is the spirit of chaos.” When Riakis is summoned
, it is a token-type monster that starts to infest the entire 3rd floor.
long time no see.’
“Bjorn didn’t mean that… I meant that there was nothing else we could do. I heard that a lot of people died last time too?”
Certainly… I heard that it was.
To be honest, I was very upset because I was also responsible for the accident.
“Oh and again! Originally, I heard that when a disaster happens, the explorers of the upper layer have an obligation to step out!”
Yes, the explorer’s oath.
In fact, that was the reason why Clan Dzarwi, who was staying on the 3rd floor at the time, tried to protect the explorers of the lower layer as well
. Because the clans with the largest guilds have no choice but to pay attention to the guild.
‘Well, I didn’t want to see the loss, so I took the money that I buried in my nose…’
But one thing is clear.
There must have been casualties. It wasn’t enough to gather the explorers on the lower floors and protect them all day, so after the hierarchical ruler arrived, they held on for almost four hours
. But if it’s you, Bjorn—”
“Einar, calm
down.” Einar stopped running and turned around, and Einar also kept his mouth
shut
. ……”
Einar is righteous.
The only thing Einar is ruthless about are monsters and looters.
Basically, he treats others with goodwill and wants to help if he can.
And…….
“Don’t worry. I don’t mean to let it go like this.”
I don’t see it badly,
because I happened to know
that giving doesn’t always lead to losing business.
“Oh! Was it like that too!”
“Then did you think I would just leave it? There must be quite a few of my own people on the 3rd floor, right?”
Actually, that was what I said, but I had no intention of standing by the situation even if it wasn’t a matter of my own people in the first place.
How much reputation have I accumulated so far
? I’m sure public opinion will turn away from me once it’s known,
so…
“Ohhhh!! So what should I do now! Even if you ask me to jump into the fire, I will obey!”
“I’ll watch you from here for the time being.”
“……… Huh?”
We took a stance watching the forest from a distance.
It was a very simple reason. ”
…Maybe we don’t have to step in?”
“Because the 3rd floor lord doesn’t get permission to subdue the Explorers’ Guild. Maybe it was summoned by a clan trying to subdue it without permission.”
“Ah! Then it means that if they catch it, there will be no problem!”
“That’s right.”
Of course, this is just speculation and nothing has been confirmed.
That ‘s
why…….
While watching, he received real-time information from Erwen:
“Riakis is on his way to the western part of the Witch’s Forest. It’s too far to be discerned, but there seem to be quite a few people around.”
“How many?”
“I don’t know. It’s too far away…”
“Then we’ll have to get closer.”
After that, we moved west around the outskirts of the forest, and with Erwen’s amazing detection ability, we were able to get more accurate information. “…About 15 people .
Right now, it seems like they are being chased by Riakis.”
Well, they seem to be choosing a place to hunt rather than being chased. The Witch’s Forest, with many landmarks that block the view, isn’t a good environment for raiding
. “15 people……”
Just looking at it, it’s not the number of people who will run a raid. Well
,
if you organize your raid properly, there’s nothing you can’t catch, but
……. It would be correct to assume that they are waiting separately at the .” ”
Is that so
?”
“No. I can’t hear a single voice, perhaps because I used the ‘Voice Control’ magic.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
It was very disappointing, but it saved me an hour.
If it really was a coincidence that a disaster had occurred, I would have had to rush out and hit it with my body.
Tu-duk tuduk tududuk-
Then rain started to fall from the sky.
Chii Iik-!
As if it were filled with acid, the black rain made my skin itch just by touching it.
It was Liakis’ passive aura skill.
「The character is receiving continuous damage of the chaos property.」
「The character’s exorcism is greatly reduced.」
「Warning: If continuously exposed to chaos property damage, the status abnormality [Confusion] is applied with a certain probability.
” It means we’ve reached his vicinity.
“I’ll have to go further back.”
As we do not have a fuse, there is no way to resist this passive skill, so we adjusted the distance along the border where the rain fell.
How long has it been since then?
“I’ll be out of the woods soon!”
The third floor where the darkness of the light-absorbing labyrinth disappeared.
Although he didn’t have excellent eyesight like Erwen or Amelia, he saw dozens of explorers rushing out in the distance.
coo-! coo-! coo-!
Oh, of course, a huge monster was chasing them from behind.
“Erwen, check it out. Where is the clan?”
“…there are no patterns.”
Did you take all the emblems off?
Well, they’re the ones doing the subjugation without permission.
Running with all their might, they took Liakis and quickly moved away, and Amelia asked me.
“What will Yandel do now?”
“Follow me.”
“The reason is?”
“It’s a real disaster when they fail.”
Besides, don’t you know?
Will there be a situation where we will raise the spoon.
***
Following the group presumed to be a manned group, the place they arrived at was the ‘thorny reed field’.
‘Well, this is the standard, right?’
The most suitable field for tile management as there are no terrain features, the ground is flat, and the terrain is wide.
All the preparation work had been done, and all the thorn reeds that reached up to the shoulders had been burnt and removed
…
The radio I was listening to suddenly cut off.
“What’s going on?”
“The other side has noticed our presence, too. Right now, one is getting closer.”
“Can you open it if you open the distance?”
“…I think it’s going to be difficult for everyone. It’s because there’s only one person over there.”
hmm that’s right
Thanks to that, there was no reason to worry, so I made a quick decision.
“Then let’s wait here.”
I didn’t do anything wrong, so why run away?
At first, I was also curious.
What kind of guys were they who carried out the unlicensed subjugation, which had no choice but to make innocent victims in terms of structure?
“You’re here.”
Before long, over the burnt-out reed field, I saw a dot of someone running toward me like a darting arrow.
It did not take long for the mole to grow and take on a human form.
Took.
A man stopped at a distance of about 10m.
The fact that there were seven daggers attached to his belt made him look very agile.
“…….”
“…….”
As soon as he saw me, his expression hardened and he didn’t say anything.
In the end, it was me who opened my mouth first.
“Why didn’t you say anything? You just ran up to me.”
“……Meeting a celebrity in a place like this.”
oh so it was
Why did you make that shit-chewed face?
“It is an honor to meet you, Baron Yandel.
“Okay, so who are you?”
When I stopped talking and asked again, the guy seemed to think for a while, then opened his mouth.
“…It’s called Malid Kevron.”
I don’t know if it’s his real name, but he introduced himself with that name.
In short, to the dagger-jabber, I asked an additional question.
“Which clan do you belong to?”
“…we come from Clan Toothtooth.”
“It’s jagged teeth…”
One of the super-sized clans, reduced from 10 to 4 during the war, and the same clan that James Carla served as vice-captain.
“Fun. No matter how you look at it, doesn’t it seem more strange that you guys were on the 3rd floor than me?”
When I asked with a smile, the dagger jabber asked back boldly.
“We had a situation. But is it the baron who summoned the hierarchical lord?”
Truly, he was a man with exceptional judgment.
He could not have thought that in this situation, he would be fearless.
“I am not.”
“Is that so?”
“But on the contrary, you? If I ask, you’ll say no, right?”
“We really don’t.” ”
Does that mean that the people traveling with Riakis have nothing to do with you?” ”
They are part of us. However, since we were nearby, we only stepped out to resolve the situation according to the oath.”
Hey, you’re good at talking.
“Then that’s great. From now on, we will help.”
Soon after, I gently held out my spoon, and the dagger-jabber’s mouth hardened coldly.
“…I am very grateful for reaching out first, but I don’t think you need to use your precious hand, Your Excellency.”
“Hmm, why?”
“Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for explorers to do dangerous things like this?”
Heo, just because you became a noble doesn’t mean you’re not treated like a person in the same profession?
I had the urge to hit the top of my head with a hammer at the moment, but I barely resisted—
” The other nobles also don’t want the prestige of the noble family to be undermined by the baron’s actions.” ”
…What?” What
did I just hear?
? One of the benefactors of the Sergtooth Clan?”
I asked again to confirm, and he replied with a cheeky grin.
“Yes, I am.”
Yes, I got it right.
There was no point in continuing the polite conversation any longer.
What? Don’t be greedy if you don’t want to be in trouble?
“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard.
” Did I hear that wrong?”
I took a step, looking at the frozen dagger like a recruit who didn’t know what he had done.
“Hey dagger.”
“…Yes?”
“Do you have goblin shit in your head?” ”
Yes ? What did you mean by that…?”
No, that’s right.
Like that way of speaking that was trembling from earlier. Like
the fact that you keep walking away while breaking out in a cold sweat now.
“If you open it, you’ll know what’s inside. I don’t know.”
I quietly raised the hammer.
