YM778.TV Chapter 488
A typical example is [Clock of Regret].
Level 1 Essence skill that can be rooted on the 9th floor or higher.
The effect is simple.
In-game, when you acquire this skill, when a colleague dies, you can start again at the fork with the phrase ‘Memories of regret reverse time.’
Well, if you look at it like this, is it a little bit like Yeji?
Anyway, as much as this skill had fraudulent abilities, the downside was obvious.
The activation condition that must be a colleague in the ‘bond’ state.
Cooldown over several months per city.
Even so, the maximum number of uses given is 3 times.
It doesn’t even activate when you die.
Therefore…
‘For now, it’s not this skill.’
Currently, we are not even in a bonded state, and judging from the conversations we had, it seems that we have already used it at least twice, so there is no possibility that it is this skill.
‘At least the most plausible thing… I guess that’s it.’
Soon, I narrowed down the most likely candidates.
[Prophet of Misfortune]
A 6th grade passive skill with high difficulty to obtain.
If you have it, it will be activated with a random probability, and you can receive future information similar to advice through the system log.
roughly like this.
“An ominous vision dwells in the prophet’s eyes.”
Don’t be reassured if he doesn’t see you. He will never give up on you.”
Therefore, I classified this skill as an information detection skill, and actually used it often for that purpose in the middle.
It was a great help in unexplored areas to be able to find out the types and characteristics of monsters, whether there are traps or not.
But…
‘Actually, it must be a different feeling.’
Once the skill is activated, you will really see a ‘welcome’.
And in the game, you will experience the information that ended in a few lines with your own eyes.
“Heh… heh…”
“…Einar, did you see me die?”
“…….”
This time, the answer did not come back.
However, the reaction of the body that flinched for a moment became the answer to my question.
‘That’s why I couldn’t do it this far……’
Soon after, I kept my mouth shut.
That’s right, even if Amman persuaded him, he wouldn’t listen.
That was all I could do now.
“left.”
To point you in the right direction so that you are on the right path.
And…….
hard.
clenching it.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Helpless while riding on the back of Einar, who pierced the soldiers with his bare body.
Pooh-!
An arrow is lodged in the leg.
“die!”
Watching your skin being ripped apart by the sharp spear tip.
that was all i could do
“Okay, got it! It’s now! Come on…!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“…What power is this!”
It wasn’t until after continuing the desperate charge for a long time that Einar finally stopped walking.
It did not arrive at its destination.
There was still a long way to go to the entrance of the cave, but it was too much for now.
To go as far as protecting me.
Took.
As his injuries piled up, his speed slowed and the distance between him and the pursuing soldiers narrowed, and Einar eventually finished his reckless charge.
And…
“Don’t worry… don’t worry at all.”
After that, he swung his weapon against the soldiers rushing in like a tide.
I just sat on the wall and watched it endlessly.
One, two, three, four, five, six…
When the seven were cut, the ax stuck into Einar’s forearm.
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, seventeen…
When the eighteenth soldier was defeated, a spear pierced his collarbone.
Forty-three forty-four forty-five…
On the forty-sixth, an arrow pierced his left eye.
seventy one seventy two seventy three.
As time goes by, countless corpses accumulate.
hundred.
A brief silence came.
The soldiers couldn’t easily close the distance as they stood still, with arrows stuck all over their bodies and blood pouring from pierced wounds.
“…….”
“…….”
Of course, that time was extremely short.
“I’m tired too…! Don’t back down!”
The soldiers stepped over the piled up corpses and swung their weapons again.
One hundred and thirty.
Einar apologized to me.
“Sorry…….”
“…….”
“My body has no strength…….”
Within a moment, Einar folded his body over me as if he were about to collapse.
Fuuk Fuuk Fuuk-!
I heard a sound that shouldn’t come from my colleague’s body.
Beep beep –
it was like having a nightmare.
I felt dizzy and I felt like I was going to throw up.
Fuuk Fuuk Fuuk—
Beep!
There were countless sounds in succession.
And how many times have those eternity-like moments been repeated?
Finally, the body that had no choice but to watch it all helplessly—.
wriggling
Started moving.
***
「The character’s HP has reached 30%.」
「The status abnormality [Paralysis] is canceled
.
」
And after pushing Einar’s body to stand up.
Whoo-!
wields a weapon
The soldiers jumped back in amazement, leaving a slight gap. In that gap, he quickly picked up Einar and started running.
Just like Einar, who carried me on his back, did.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!”
Run through aisles full of soldiers.
“Don’t stop!”
Weapons wielded to stop me.
Every step you take, big and small injuries pile up on your body.
However, I did not block or avoid it.
If that weapon wasn’t aimed at Einar, he ran away, hitting it with his body like an ignorant tanker.
how long has it been like that
“The character’s HP is less than 15%.”
At best, the recovered body was tattered again, but the siege was able to break through.
“Heo-euk… heo-eok…”
I was able to have that little bit of leisure.
I ran and checked Einar’s condition.
“Einar! Are you okay? Wake up! You can’t sleep! Wake up—”
Then a faint voice caught my ear.
“……Bjorn.”
“……!”
……Yes, you are alive.
“It’s all good. It’s hard, isn’t it? But hold on a little longer! 10 minutes! No, 8 minutes is all it takes!”
Then you can exit this cave.
Of course, that may be the clearing condition, but since the escape difficulty itself was ridiculous, there is a high probability that there will be a means to recover at least in the next chapter.
“therefore……!”
Trust me and hold on a little longer.
Einar, who was about to say that, said.
“…Leave it.”
what the hell is he talking about?
The pronunciation was muffled and the sound was low, so I wondered if I had heard it wrong.
But…
“Leave me… go…”
…You heard it right.
I was angry for some reason, but I couldn’t bear to say harsh words even to the patient.
So I decided to just ignore it.
“Looks like there’s something wrong with your head from bleeding too much.”
“…….”
“So just stay still. That’s all you can do.”
I don’t know if he decided to follow my words or if he just didn’t have the strength left.
But Einar said no more.
‘……Isn’t he dead?’
Anxiety was forced to swallow along with dry saliva.
And I ran forward until my heart burst.
As the entrance approached, the smell of the bushes was felt, and the surroundings gradually became brighter due to the leaking light source.
A dazzling entrance came into view in the distance.
“Einar! Einar! Wake up. We’re out soon!”
“…….”
“Answer me!”
“……careful.”
What is he saying now.
Anyway, I just confirmed that he’s alive.
So hurry out…
“……?”
Soon after arriving at the entrance of the cave, I stopped walking.
Then, he slowly approached the entrance and reached out his hand toward the translucent barrier.
I don’t know how.
Took.
The entrance to the cave was blocked.
“……Don’t fuck with me.”
If you’re not escaping outside, what is it?
huh? Making a boss mob that is impossible to catch and not allowing it to go out?
“Then what the heck… what’s the strategy…”
I felt like something I was holding on to inside of me was about to collapse.
“Bjorn…”
I just laughed.
“Ah… Einar? Don’t worry! I’ll destroy this barrier right away!”
The spirit of the barbarian is to break down and advance if there is something in the way.
Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
I punched my fist as hard as I could toward the barrier.
“Bjorn…….”
Unfortunately, the barrier did not budge.
But not knowing to give up is one of the virtues that a barbarian should have.
“Stop…….”
Fists, feet and foreheads.
I use everything I can use, such as putting my weight on it and ramming it with my shoulder, and rushes toward the barrier.
Kwaaaang-!
Did you set the non-destructive option?
‘Okay then, plan B at this point.’
I changed my strategy and attacked the wall next to the barrier.
No matter how strong the iron gate is, a stone wall with a door on it won’t be like that.
Maybe there is a way.
therefore.
“Stop it……”
Quaang-!
“Now go…”
“…….”
“Before he comes…”
I couldn’t stand it any longer.
Kwaaang-!
As if to vent his anger, he slammed his forehead against the wall that did not budge.
Far from feeling refreshed in the slightest, I was still feeling stuffy inside.
“It’s here……!”
Then soldiers appeared from behind.
I kept that distance, but already? I didn’t even think so. Rather, with the feeling that it went well, I immediately rushed to the soldiers.
Kwajik-!
The man in the front was smashed against the wall, and after taking the weapon he was holding, the massacre began in earnest.
“…Oh the devil!”
“Don’t back down!”
“For the sake of the Empire…!”
One guy, two guys, three guys, four guys…
‘Five guys.’
Six, seven, eight…
‘…How many were there?’
I don’t know, so from the beginning again, one guy, two guys, three guys…….
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!
When I came to my senses, the surroundings were quiet.
It was full of corpses, and I couldn’t hear even the slightest breathing.
Realizing something belatedly, I turned my back.
“……Einar.”
Hurrying up, I checked and luckily, Einar was still breathing.
It’s faint and rough, as if it would break at any moment.
“Bjorn…….”
Einar trembled and lifted his eyelids, perhaps feeling my presence.
“…….”
My mouth did not fall.
Whether it’s okay, don’t worry, or you’ll be able to leave soon.
I have to say something like that.
“Yandel’s son… Bjorn.”
As I was looking down blankly like a person who had gone mad, Einar weakly raised the corner of his mouth.
“My… precious… friend…”
It felt like a thick stake was driven into my heart.
A precious friend…
“You will… become a great… warrior…”
Something I had barely endured collapsed.
***
Sick truths and sweet lies.
It is clear which of the two is right for those who are about to die
.
‘You’re a precious friend…….’
Before you can make that easy distinction, your mouth opens on its own.
It was a confession and an apology.
“I… I’m not…”
The real Bjorn Yandel is different.
I’m just an evil spirit that stole his body.
Yes, the evil spirit that you said should be cut off immediately upon encounter and killed on the spot.
That’s… that’s me.
I murmured those words for a long time while watching Einar staring at me without focus.
Then, at some point, when I came to my senses.
“…….”
Einar was not breathing anymore.
His eyes were still open, but there was no point in denying them.
“The third pilgrim has died.”
Einar died.
Also with this.
“All surviving pilgrims’ values increase by +400.”
Stats increased once more.
Through this I was able to find out.
“You survived alone.”
When did the stats go up?
And…….
「Special condition – perfect bond has been met.」
「All values increase 3 times.」
「Kill the Centurion Captain Dreadfear.」
What was the strategy for this hidden phase?
