BXBX NOVEL Chapter 505
Running through a cave with new friends.
With the excuse of taking over the back row, they stayed away from each other.
I’m chasing after them.
“Please explain to me, Mr. Why are you going to the second floor?”
It was an unusually distant distance for a colleague.
Of course, it was a distance that could be narrowed in less than a second if we exerted our full strength.
Yes, it must be so…
“To be precise, it’s not the second floor, it’s the Goblin Forest.”
Why?
I feel a sense of distance that I will never be able to narrow down for the rest of my life.
‘I thought it would go back to normal… after time…’
She decided not to be impatient, but her confidence was fading as the days went by.
The reason was simple.
Because I saw it a little while ago.
[I thought that would be good for you.]
[Yandel, listen without being offended. You are in a very unstable state right now.]
Seeing Bjorn understand what he said, the first thing that came to my mind was not ‘I should have done that’.
lost.
Because he couldn’t even think of that.
Just thinking about what choice Bjorn would have made, he gave the answer he would have wanted.
Even that, I’m not sure because of the years that have passed.
[Well… it’s better to kill… wouldn’t it…? I want to…]
I didn’t even think about what I thought.
I just looked at it and gave unconditional ‘consent’. It was the same with the thought of what was good for him.
Looking back, it has been like that since before.
He never questioned or offered any advice as to which path Bjorn was going to take.
I was determined to silently follow him no matter what shape he took or what path he took, but that was all.
‘Amelia Lane Wales.’
As a person, I felt the difference.
I stopped admitting that a companion must mean such a person.
My place didn’t disappear while I was gone.
The place I thought I had to return to was no more than a stowage area in a warehouse.
“…Are you okay? Your expression hasn’t been good since before.”
Looking at Amelia who deliberately came to the back row and asked, she answered with gritted teeth.
“Never mind. It’s fine.”
It didn’t matter if I had a seat or not.
Whether that person knew it or not.
[Otherwise, Bjorn Yandel will die.]
There was something I had to do here.
***
About 1 hour after the start of Day 3.
Hard!
The entire cave begins to shake and the crystals begin to emit red light.
It means that Dreadfear, the lord of terror, was summoned from somewhere within the Crystal Cave.
Of course, that fact in itself isn’t too surprising.
Because the Explorers Guild was already filled with 8 subjugation requests.
The problem was the timing of the summons.
‘Summoning in one hour. How many people are waiting to be summoned?’
It’s not something for us, who are still moving with 7 people, but it seems that only 8 teams who have received subjugation permission are not waiting to be summoned.
After all, most people think the same way.
Defeat Dreadlord Dreadfear.
When I was planning this exploration, I also considered the possibility that the key to the hidden area might be there.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t apply because the subjugation application was already full at that time.
Defeat Abyss Lord Berzak.
If this is the key, I have no idea right now.
‘……If everyone had an idea, wouldn’t they summon up to Belzak?’
For now, I think so, but I’m not sure.
Looking at the situation, it seems that dozens of teams are waiting all over the cave, not the eight that applied.
Even if only one or two teams show strange greed, a catastrophe will happen.
‘Okay, I’ll do my job.’
However, it was not possible to persuade the explorers by going around the entire cave, so I just hurriedly hurried on my way.
and how long has it been
“The character has entered the 2nd floor Goblin Forest.”
Soon we went up to the 2nd floor, and then we moved with maximum speed and reached the 3rd floor before the 3rd day car was over.
「The character has entered the Pilgrim’s Path on the 3rd floor.」
A wide layer with more than ten different fields.
After climbing through the Goblin Forest, we passed the Greentail Marsh where the Lizardmen appeared and moved to one of the adjacent fields, the Sculpture Temple.
A field full of rubble of collapsed stone buildings.
It looks similar to the Pantelion ruins on the 7th floor of the Dark Continent, but there is one difference between that place and this place.
There are many statues here.
Although all have broken necks.
“It’s always a bad feeling.”
“Still, people are rare, aren’t they?”
The Sculpture Temple is an overwhelmingly unpopular area among the three-story fields.
There is only one monster that appears once.
“The character has defeated the Unknown Statue.”
The Unknown Statue.
It is a 7th grade monster with a similar appearance to a stone golem, but it is much smaller and similar to a human, and is agile in its own way.
And…
「The nameless statue cast [Unanswered Prayer].」
This guy’s skill has a reputation for being trash.
When the player uses it, it eats up a lot of MP, and this is because almost all of them fail.
Well, they seem to have a much higher chance of success.
「The nameless statue has great power.」
When the prayer succeeds, a random essence of 5th grade or lower is temporarily granted.
Because of that, the hunting difficulty is high for a 7th grade monster.
No, should I say it’s difficult?
There were many variables as well as fatigue from having to deal with unexpected skills in every battle
.
Even so, integers are garbage.
If the purpose is for experience, you can catch and pass by just one in the outskirts.
‘Above all, the position is poor.’
If you want to go to the 4th floor, it is much easier and faster to take the next field, so it was this sculpture temple that was difficult for explorers passing by.
‘Well, the material drop is quite decent, but.’
At least, the strength of the Sculpture Temple lies in its ‘material’.
If you catch it with distortion magic, sometimes ‘magic crystals’ will drop, but these are sold at a high price.
Of course, it’s much more efficient to dig it up on the 5th floor, so it doesn’t come here often.
Anyway, we came here for the supply and demand of ‘material’.
In fact, there are other things besides ‘magical crystals’.
“Come on, everybody, move!”
As much as I felt the lack of time was not enough, I hurriedly started hunting.
「Versil Gowland has cast [Level 6 Time-Time Magic] [Higher Distortion].」 「
Versil Gowland has cast Level 6 Time-Time Magic [Higher Distortion].」 「
Versil Gowland has cast Level 6 Time-Time Magic [Higher Distortion]. [Distortion] has been cast.]
The combat power is sufficient, so the wizard just uses distortion magic.
“The character has defeated the Nameless Statue.”
“The character has defeated the Nameless Statue.” “
The character has defeated the Nameless Statue…….”
“…….”
Break the coming out Jokjok Statue break it
However, there was still a lot of time to play, so we divided the group and started mob driving.
“Behel——laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Unlike humans, if you raise the threat level, the monsters turn their eyes and attack.
Using this, he drove the statue to the center by turning around, and then proceeded to take down the statue as Versil cast distortion magic.
And during the respawn period, move far away and hunt mobs once more.
12 o’clock 4 o’clock 8 o’clock based on the center. When I divided it into three and rotated it, they fit together without a break.
“The character killed the Nameless Statue.”
“The character killed the Nameless Statue.”
“The character killed the Nameless Statue…….”
“…….”
How madly hunting did you do
When I ate 6 ‘Magical Crystals’, the first thing I wanted was dropped.
“Bjorn! This! This is what you were looking for!”
A small piece of stone with artificial patterns on it.
「The character has acquired the ‘Nameless Piece’.」
It was the sun pattern.
***
A piece of cotton.
An item that can be obtained with a certain probability when defeating an Nameless Statue with Distortion Magic.
Its characteristic is that it does not stack in the inventory and drops with three patterns at random.
And it is impossible to take it back to the city.
‘Since I ate the sun, are the moon and stars left?’
I assumed that this piece might have a secret, so I did everything I could for a long time.
Finally, there is a way to write.
“Is this piece what Mr. Yandel was aiming for…?”
“Isn’t that plausible? The stars, the sun, and the moon.”
“…I don’t know, but it seems like a pretty plausible attempt. Time is an issue, but I don’t think it’s impossible at all.”
Climb up to the 3rd floor, collect items, and go back down before the 1st floor closes.
The difficulty itself is high, but it is not impossible.
Now, it’s dangerous because I’ve wasted more than two days on the first floor, but things would have been much better if I had run to the third floor from the beginning.
“Maybe next time.”
As Versil said, unfortunately, it seemed difficult to enter the hidden area right away this time.
Also, it took 8 hours for the ‘Nameless Shard’ to drop from the corpses whose ‘Distortion’ was successful.
‘If you want to eat two more, you have another 16 hours.’
When performing simple calculations, there is not enough time even assuming that all remaining patterns will drop without overlapping.
However, it is difficult to raise the hunting speed more than this.
The reason why I ate one in 8 hours in the first place was because the mole was able to hunt around the entire field.
‘Above all, if Versil’s MP runs out, he won’t be able to use ‘Distortion’ either.’
Jeop, was it too much for this episode?
I wondered if it would be possible this time if I was in a hurry.
Maybe I was too hopeful——.
“Ah! Bjorn!! It’s out again!!”
huh?
I blankly accepted the stone Einar gave me.
“The character has acquired the ‘Nameless Piece’.”
It was a star pattern.
In other words, you only have to eat one more moon fragment in the next eight hours.
‘what? It seems Einar has been digging it before.’
The ‘Beginner’s Luck’ I ate the other day wouldn’t have an item drop rate correction.
Originally, how to ride the momentum of luck.
“I will change my plans.”
“……?”
“From now on, Einar will take care of the monsters. Everyone else go around the area and lure the monsters.”
After that, even if it was a bit of a waste of time, Einar left all the battles and the mole continued hunting.
About 5 hours had passed like that
. Acquired ‘Nameless Piece.」
Another piece dropped.
“It’s a moon pattern……”
Now it was time for me to admit it too.
“Einar.”
“You can praise it as much as you like!
” One race is right. ”
Ooh
oh oh oh oh oh
!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
As expected, Einar is more happy than ever and enjoys the time.
Kwaang-!
Okay, so the non-work trip is over.
I quickly went back the way I came with the team.
Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day …….
It’s a difficult time to go through reverse driving to the lower floor.
However, thanks to Einar, I was able to camp, take a break, and move while caring about my physical strength in the spare time. The center of the 2nd floor goblin forest.
The open area near the portal connected to the 1st floor crystal cave.
The very place where there was a fierce battle with the three Noarks who were blocking the entrance.
”
…What is this again?
” It was full of explorers not at the right time.
Even with the naked eye, I could easily see more than 100 people…
Even looking at it, I couldn’t see any of the explorers who gave up searching before the first floor closed.
If that was the case, there would be no reason to gather in front of the portal. Not only that, but
it was flashy-!
It wasn’t like the explorers coming out of the portal in real time.
“Mister! Is there no priest! Help me!”
“Let’s drink this first!”
What the hell is this situation?
As soon as I approached the portal, the explorers recognized me and started whispering. ”
Giant …?”
Wasn’t it?”
The explorers seemed to have doubts that I came from the other side, not from the portal.
I wanted to secretly go down to the first floor because
I thought I would be noticed. ” Hey,
what
‘s going on?”
The answer came right back,
“…Berzak! That devil-like guy has appeared!
”
Somehow I was lucky.
