The moment Erwen picked up an arrow with a nervous face.

I pushed her forward.

“to?”

Erwen, whose back was suddenly pushed back, took a step forward, and in the process, the body and the essence floating in the air came into contact with each other.

aa-!

Essence emits light and is wrapped around Erwen’s body.

“Hey, you crazy bastard!”

After all, that was the purpose of those bastards.

“Move! I would have told you not to!”

Soon, a group of four explorers arrived 10 meters away.

but what about this

He already ate Jeongsu.

I didn’t look nervous and took a daunting step.

“Why should I listen to you?”

“The essence was ours!”

The situation when Erwen was not given Essence is roughly pictured in his mind.

Maybe I was forced to give it up.

It’s something we caught with arrows from afar, or if you attach it for some reason, it’ll do something.

“If you want to fight, go ahead. I will deal with you anyway.”

four and two.

Although the number was inferior, I responded strongly.

This is similar to how a small dog barks loudly.

Because I want to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Humans are like animals, and if they look down on you, they will bite you.

“… … .”

The redhead, who seemed to be the representative of the opposing group, silently bites his teeth.

Come on, I’ll do what I think of the map.

I don’t know if the essence remains in the air.

The owner has already been decided, but there is nothing to gain if you fight with us.

So it’s wise to give up and go back—

“… They demand compensation.”

Were you trying to whine?

When Jeongsu appeared and disappeared in front of his eyes, he must have felt very sorry for him too.

There’s no reason for me to consider it.

“We took the Essence we obtained, so what kind of reward are you talking about?”

“Is there any evidence? The goblin we just hunted.”

The question, ‘Do you have any evidence for that?’ is not an outdated question.

Of course it is, but there is no such thing.

There is no CCTV in the labyrinth.

In the end, the words of a man with power will become the truth.

“Again, if you want to fight, go ahead. I do not avoid it.”

I responded stubbornly without any reason.

If you’re going to fight, go ahead, if you’re going to talk, don’t force yourself to quit.

He didn’t even give me time to think.

“Give me three. If you don’t make a decision before that, I’ll consider you an enemy.”

“Ah, uncle… … ?”

Why can’t he understand the atmosphere?

Be still. I’m going strong now, can’t you see they’re all very scared?

“three.”

“two.”

“I will go away.”

He made a choice before counting one.

Seriously, even if it were me, if a tattooed barbarian like this was counting, it would be like that.

If it had been my true self, I would have turned on my eyes and tried to get revenge… … .

They know better than that.

Soon they disappeared from our view.

“Did you go?”

“yes. I think so.”

“I will speed up until we reach the portal. Take the lead.”

At my words, Erwen cleared the road at the level of running without horses.

I am also feeling it to some extent.

Although it passed without bloodshed, it wasn’t over yet.

“What are the signs of these guys?”

“I don’t feel it. Oh, there’s a group of goblins at 3 o’clock, what should I do?”

“Ignore.”

“yes.”

Originally, he planned to go back to hunting the goblins leisurely, but the plan was changed.

Leave the second floor as soon as possible.

And if possible, go down to the first floor and get as far away from the portal as possible.

Hearing my plan, Erwen tilted her head.

“Would you like to follow me to the first floor?”

“It doesn’t follow. It’s just that the destination is the same.”

“What does that mean?”

It’s a simple guess.

They were having a party with four of them.

And if there are four people, that’s a pretty good number to be active on the second floor. But is it moving toward the entrance rather than the outside?

The intention is clear.

“Probably they too were planning to go down to the ground floor on the 7th day and return to the city. So, we must have met here at this time.”

“ah… … .”

To put it simply, these guys are just like us on the second floor.

So, when the number doubled, he was scared of me and ran away.

Maybe it’s not a proper party, it’s just a group that just happened to meet on the first floor and improvised.

“I see… … .”

At my next words, Erwen quietly nodded. I don’t know if I understood correctly.

“After all, you are amazing!”

… couldn’t you

“I will only do what you tell me!”

Well, maybe this is better.

Because those who roll their heads clumsily have more accidents.

“Uncle, it’s a goblin!”

“It goes away.”

“But, I think you have already found us over there? I’m running this way right now!”

“What?”

As soon as I hear the story, I feel a sense of alienation.

From the 4th day until now, not even a single goblin has seen us first.

To that extent, Erwen’s sensing ability was excellent.

No matter how different they are from then on, even if they are running and moving, this cannot be a mere coincidence.

Isn’t he even absorbing the essence right now?

“Once detour in the opposite direction.”

“yes!”

At my instructions, Erwen turned.

And that moment.

Whee!

Arrows are fired from the direction it is bent.

As soon as I found it, I pulled Erwen by the back.

“Kek!”

Erwen groaned because the airway was so strongly pressed… … .

It would be better to get choked up for a while.

Rather than piercing the neck.

bang!

As soon as I hug Erwen and cover my upper body with the shield, the arrow bounces off my shield.

It’s pretty heavy even though it’s been brushed.

Was that the kid holding the crossbow earlier?

“I, I… Take care of the blood, you can avoid it… … .”

Erwen squeaks and says something.

I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to listen.

“There was… … .”

“Just run.”

I started running with Erwen in the lead again.

“Uncle, if an arrow flies again, there is no need to pull it like that… … .”

“Be quite. are you thinking”

As she spoke with her voice lowered, Erwen kept her mouth shut.

I kept on thinking while running, vigilant about my surroundings.

I don’t know how they did it, but they lured the goblins. And they are ambushing us from the opposite direction and trying to eat us up.

If I run away like this, will I be able to reach the portal safely?

‘No way.’

I predicted the possibility, but it was judged extremely low.

There is a crossbow over there.

Goblins will continue to pursue us.

If you’re lucky in all of this, you might even get there alive… … .

Well, at least I’m not the lucky one.

“I must fight.”

Time to catch a few breaths.

In it, I came to a conclusion.

“Erwen, use your powers.”

“Is it possible?”

“It’s about using the power of essence.”

The essence dropped by monsters contains the special abilities each individual possesses.

for example,

[Goblin Archer]

Agility+2 Flexibility+4 Vision+6 Smell+2 Perception+2 Cognitive Interference+6 Accuracy+8 Toxic Resistance+4 Obsession+7

(P) Poison Arrow — Deals poison damage when using a bow weapon.

(A) Thief Step — Gain Stealth.

In the game, this information is displayed.

Increases stats, one passive and one active.

This information will also apply in this world.

There have been a few variables so far, such as demons and starting points, but at least in these respects, it’s always been consistent with the game.

“Well, I don’t know how to write it… … .”

I smiled as I looked at Erwen who was bewildered at hearing the unreasonable demands.

“Okay.”

“Are you okay?”

“It means you are in stealth.”

As Erwen was running, his body turned hazy.

Yes, it’s so weak that you can see it from afar… … .

“Stop it.”

When you stop walking, the stealth effect becomes stronger.

This is the reason why the character moves slowly in the game. As time passed while standing still, it went beyond translucent and became almost transparent.

Although there is a clear sense of heterogeneity in the outline, it will not be visible except at close range.

How much less, in this dark forest.

“Wow… … .”

Erwen looked at her body and exclaimed.

It’s funny, so am I.

I don’t think he and I have different points.

It’s not a starter word or anything like that, it’s a mechanism that activates skills in response to your will.

Anyway, let’s study this in more detail later.

“Erwen. Take this.”

“yes?’

I handed the backpack to Erwen.

And he spoke with a rapid-fire cannon.

“You hide here and when I give you a signal, shoot the crossbow first. Never go before then. Do you understand?”

“What do you mean… … .”

“There is no time. I know you know.”

I quickly finished what I had to say and immediately started running.

“Wait, signal! How is the signal—!”

I could hear a small shout from behind, but there was a lot of risk to go back.

Tub.

After moving about 30m from the original position, I stopped.

I had no intention of going far in the first place.

It’s a big deal if you step on a trap while running like this.

“Greuk gurggle!”

As I turned back, I heard goblins rushing in from the front left.

And those chews… … .

I still don’t know where

After blocking the first step, he hasn’t appeared yet.

But I don’t worry too much.

I’m going to be doing these babies.

“Greek, Gecko!”

If you’re fighting goblins, they’ll appear first.

He must have lured the goblins with that thought in the first place.

Returning to the present, I looked at the invading goblins.

“Groo!!”

Of the ten goblins, there are two swordsmen.

Fortunately, there are no archers among the goblins—

gang!

there is

I ran towards the goblins swarming the arrows flying in my shield.

Of course, I couldn’t run like I used to.

Not only goblin archers, but human crossbows are also targeting me.

gang!

After a period of about 10 seconds, the arrow flies one more time.

This time, it belongs to the goblin archer.

gang!

After blocking the arrows with my shield, I smashed the goblin swordsman’s head wielding a scimitar.

In return, I got stabbed in the leg by another goblin with a carving knife… … .

Push.

Can not help it.

You have to take this kind of risk.

The number of goblins should decrease, but they will also feel impatient and appear.

puck! puck! puck!

Indeed, as he possesses a barbarian and beats the goblins, his injuries gradually increase.

Forearms, thighs, flanks, etc.

If you look at each one, it’s not a serious injury, but it’s accumulated so much that you can’t ignore it.

puck!

As if poison had begun to circulate, a tingling sensation spread from the injured area.

But when I took all this and killed a total of 7 goblins.

Whew!

arrows flew

two at the same time.

Whew!

The direction was also different.

One would be a goblin archer, and the other would be a crossbow.

It is difficult to block both.

I chose to block the crossbow’s arrows from the flanks with my shield.

bang!

The sound is different from that of a goblin archer.

Is this really the power of a crossbow?

The car I was thinking of like that, whoops! With a sound, a goblin arrow pierces his left elbow.

“Miss.”

sick.

Did you reach the bone? It hurts too, but my arm doesn’t move at all because of being hit by an arrow.

Shiba, I tried to get this out with shoulder guards, but it’s harder than I thought.

tuk.

I threw away the hammer in my right hand without any regrets.

And he held the shield he was holding in his left hand, which had become disabled. If you have to choose between the hammer and the shield, the shield is always better.

Even more so in the current situation.

puck! puck! puck!

With the shield he held in one hand, he fanned the three remaining goblins, and for now the surroundings were cleared up.

The goblin archer also bounced and the arrows stopped.

It’s a wounded first-round win, but has it survived anyway?

I cried.

“Come! Chewy guys! ”

I didn’t know I’d say this to a human, not a goblin.

Well, is there anything different?

Whee!

The guy called Nao doesn’t come out and arrows are shot from afar.

It’s a human crossbow.

As expected, blocking was no problem.

but… … .

bang!

Shiba, what is it?

The arrow pierced the iron plate, revealing the tip whether it was hit orthodox.

If I’m wrong, this hand will also choke.

As I covered my upper body with my shield and looked over the bushes, I could hear the voice of Inkigayo before long.

“Barbarian.”

There were three people who showed up.

A red-haired presumed leader.

A samurai with a single-edged sword similar to that of a Japanese sword.

Muldae holding a one-handed sword and shield.

The crossbow is still invisible.

“It was you too.”

“Yes, we are.”

How did you lure the goblins? I didn’t ask any questions like that.

Because if I did, it would definitely look worse.

“Go ahead.”

“Are you also a barbarian? You’re full of energy even when you’re dealing with so many goblins alone. Where’s that fairy b*tch?”

I wanted to talk a lot, but after all, this was the purpose.

“I think he handed me the backpack, too, but if you don’t want to see him in pain, it would be better to just say it.”

As soon as I heard it, I burst out laughing.

If you tell me, I’ll send you away. Who do you know as a hogu fool

“Crazy.”

Watching me split the threads, the leader frowned.

A look as if he was tired of something.

Apparently, in his eyes, I looked like a standard barbarian.

“I’ll suppress it first and ask you slowly.”

The leader exchanged glances with his colleagues, and all slowly narrowed the distance together.

live pora… … .

It’s a nice story to hear.

Haha, even if I killed one, Suzy wouldn’t be right.

There could be a number of reasons why you did a surprise attack.

The magic stones we gathered for 7 days, the equipment we wore, Erwen who possessed a pretty appearance, and the good fortune we witnessed in front of our noses meant that our stomach didn’t hurt anymore.

feel it all over again

“Everyone, don’t be vigilant, and think of it as hunting large monsters.”

Seriously, there are too many efficient bugs in this world.

Well, I guess that’s how I grew up.

Shrek.

I slowly raised my hand.

An arrow got stuck in his elbow, and now it started to turn paralyzing poison, and he forced his left hand, which was not moving, to the top of his head.

and… … .

“What are you doing?”

The middle finger is raised high.

Whee!

So that anyone who has lived in this world can see it as a unique sign.

Whoops-!

Soon, a faint sound echoed through the forest.
