Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 71

Episode 71 Barbarian Heroes (4)

[Prey]

Subjects afflicted with this become incapacitated.

It is easy to see it as a kind of curse.

However, the difference is… … .

‘I’m guessing that Riakis’s aggro is fixed to [prey].’

In other words, you have to keep some distance before he wakes up.

That way, the chances go up.

So, the car ready to leave in a hurry.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

McGrain looks at Misha and asks a spit.

“Aren’t you going to throw it away?”

“Of course.”

say that

Laughing like it wasn’t worth listening to, McGrain nodded as if he liked it.

“It is an important virtue of an explorer to cherish one another. Guys, do you really want to join the clan?

“none.”

“What if we were to protect that woman together?”

“… It is still a refusal.”

“Hmm, I’m sorry. If you were the designated [prey], there would be no choice.”

That’s right.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Missha, I don’t think she’ll be able to run away with me alone for 15 minutes. He would have wanted to live even at the risk of joining a clan.

But you’re also an explorer, right?

Saying it face to face is like a fucking psychopath.

“Anyway, the deal ends here. We’ll see you soon, see you in the city someday when you have a chance.”

“If only I could come back alive.”

“Well, I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but if it’s you, it will be enough. I have that intuition.”

Whoops, please stop flagging me.

I’ve been looking for some helpful suggestions, but it’s been a waste of time—

“I hope it will be of some help on your journey. what one! Why not start?”

As McGrain looks at the clan members and shouts, lights begin to come out from here and there as if he was waiting.

“Daniel Carmine has cast [Wind’s Blessing].”

“The movement speed of the character is greatly increased.”

「Tarotes Pian has cast [Sailing].」

「The character’s soul power is regenerated faster.」

「Aaron Deflain has cast [Fire of Regeneration].

「The character’s physical regeneration power is greatly increased… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Does this mean loyalty?

They must have run out of MP as they got out of there, but to give them such a favor.

It’s a resolute rejection of Misha’s personal life. Anyway, in this case, it’s probably right to say thank you.

“… Thank you.”

“Thank you, don’t die. Wouldn’t he come to us when you die?”

After uttering a truly efficient word, McGrain began to prepare to leave with the clan members.

After all, it’s me, carrying him on his back and fixing the backpack so that it doesn’t fall off, but it’s not them.

“Then we’ll go first.”

“That’s right. If you go first, we will go in the opposite direction.”

It’s really reasonable to the end, Mr.

Since there was no room to be upset anymore, I started to run in one direction, carrying Misha with a grin.

[Oh oh oh oh-!]

Not long after, he heard a cry from afar.

***

being chased

Hanging like a load behind the barbarian’s back.

He is running away from the terrifying monster doing something like Liakis, the lord of chaos.

“Woo-wook, hoo-wook, hoo-wook… … .”

body is hot

Not a description, really.

You can feel the heat he exhales as he races through his skin, as if oil was poured into a bonfire.

[Oh oh oh oh-!]

You can’t look back by moving your stiff body.

but it sounds

That trembling cry is getting closer and closer.

“Bjorn son of Yandel.”

So I called his name.

There was no reply because I didn’t hear it.

So I called a little louder.

“Bjorn son of Yandel!”

“Tell me.”

“Stop it now.”

I have an eye too.

It’s me, not Bjorn, that the monster is chasing after.

So everyone looked at me with those eyes.

Even my bloodline family.

Because existence itself becomes a lung.

“What do you mean?”

He said.

As if he didn’t understand, as if he was asking why bother people with useless questions, he spoke his usual tone.

So, as usual, I tried and spoke cheerfully.

“It’s not enough just to do this. This will kill you too. We’re not that close, are we?”

No answer came back.

So I shouted a little louder.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have died sooner! Besides, my lifelong wish has finally come true!”

The answer came back after a few seconds.

“That’s funny.”

“… What?”

“Why do you say things you don’t even want to say when you don’t even want to die?”

An unfamiliar cynical voice.

It seemed that I had made a mistake unintentionally, so words of excuse came out without me knowing.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, I really—!”

“Isn’t it scary that it will just be thrown away?”

For a moment, I felt like I was stabbed.

Is that so?

The voice grew louder.

“Why can’t you hear me! I just don’t want to cause any more trouble!”

“So are those feelings more important than your life?”

“… … .”

I was speechless with just one word.

I’ve felt this before, but why is this barbarian so witty?

I don’t know, but he says with a bit of annoyance.

“Don’t bother talking back and forth, and if you want to live, just ask him to live. Then at least there is a possibility of living.”

Barbarian-like monotonous vocabulary.

Still, I think I know what you’re trying to say.

Because he has shown himself how to judge and act in order to survive.

‘I must have looked pathetic… … .’

he always said

If you want to live, do what you have to do.

So what should I do now?

Well, I don’t know, but just because you’ve been abandoned by your family doesn’t mean you’re desperate and complaining to someone who will help you.

“Bjorn.”

I called him again.

It seemed like he knew it slowly.

what i had to do

“If you save me, I will follow you and help you for the rest of my life.”

If you were really afraid of being abandoned. It was the right order to try something so as not to be thrown away.

but… … .

“I think I’ve heard that before.”

Realizing the mistake in his answer, his head went blank.

Uh, so what should I say?

The time to worry was not long.

“If I return alive, I will give you all the money I earned on this expedition! How about this!”

Soon he replied with a smirk.

“It’s better.”

***

“Oh, I’m glad you like it… … .”

A sigh of relief from behind.

I sighed in a different sense, and spurred the leap.

After that, it seems that the mental has been taken care of.

If he has an idea, he won’t be bothered any more.

‘Is the problem now… … .’

Just turn your head and quickly look behind you.

I see hundreds of chaos spirits following me.

Of course, they aren’t a big deal.

There is a characteristic that once aggro is attracted to it, it follows it to the end, but its movement speed is rather slow.

unlike that bastard.

[Oh oh oh oh-!]

If it had started with a distance of at least 3km, the shape had already come this close.

At this rate, it is sure to catch up within 5 minutes.

Of course, assuming the speed is maintained now.

“The duration of [Wind’s Blessing] has expired.”

「The duration of [Sailing] has expired.」

「The duration of [Zero Warrior] has expired… … .”

“… … .”

That’s the biggest problem I’m facing.

The various buffs given by the Dzarwi clan started to end sequentially.

The vitality in the body that slowly drains away.

His gait was so slow that he could even recognize it at some point.

‘It must be three minutes at the longest.’

Reconsider the variables and revise the plan.

Of course, nothing has changed significantly.

After all, there is only one thing I have to do right now.

Do your best to run.

Tuduk, Thuduk, Thuduk-.

As expected, after about two minutes, it started to rain.

Evidence that he has come to a very close range.

In fact, the number of spirits of chaos blocking the way increased noticeably.

However, he did not check his back.

I just acknowledged that the time had come and took out what I had saved.

「The character has cast [Giantization].」

“The character’s physique grows, and the threat and physical value increase in proportion to the size.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Muscles and bones that grew in an instant.

In proportion to this, the arms and legs also became longer.

In addition, the physical level would increase and the overall combat power index would also increase.

But the important thing here is the increase in movement speed.

Koo! Koo!

Instead of a heavy vibration with each step, the stride itself became wider than before.

But unfortunately, it doesn’t last long.

This is because the soul power, that is, the MP, has completely run out while escaping the [Cleft of Evil].

‘In this state, it should be two to three minutes at the longest.’

Using all of his knowledge as a deceased person, he infers the remaining time.

It’s a shame because I got the [Sailing] buff that increases the recovery speed of soul power, otherwise it wouldn’t have lasted for even a minute.

“Misha, what time is it?”

After a short recitation, Misha, who had a watch in her hand in advance, responded urgently.

“Uh-huh, 56 minutes!”

“exactly.”

“196 seconds left!”

Yep, a little over three minutes left.

Until this damn labyrinth closes.

“If you are bored, look at it and count.”

“Oh, I see! One hundred and ninety, one hundred and eighty-nine… … .”

While Misha was counting and acting as a timer, I started sprinting at the last minute.

Now he spit out the spirit that stuck to his mouth.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”

As my ancestors pushed me on the back, a body that moves fast.

“One hundred and seventy, one hundred and sixty-nine… … .”

The more the second hand clicks, the greater the amount of rainwater falling.

Also, the number of enemies blocking the way increases.

So what I have to do has changed.

Up until now, I’ve only focused on running, whether they’re following me or not, by rushing in recklessly… … .

From now on, you have to dig through the road.

“It will sting a little.”

Couldn’t you listen because you were concentrating?

Or, did you think that playing your own role was the priority anyway?

Probably the latter.

Why did Misha not answer my words?

“The Spirit of Chaos has been destroyed.”

“The location will be eroded.”

The spirit of chaos that was hit by a mace coated with holy water explodes and scatters mucus.

Even though it must have touched her skin, Misha continued to focus on memorizing the numbers.

It seems like that’s the only thing it can do.

“A ship, one hundred and sixty-five!”

So, I did my best in my role.

Destroying the spirits of chaos that rush in like a tidal wave, sometimes leaping over a huge body and jumping over their heads.

[Oh-oh-oh-!]

I worked hard to open the streets with that chew.

Was it because of that?

“One hundred and twenty, one hundred and nineteen, one hundred and eighteen… … .”

The right arm holding the mace is numb, probably because it is covered in mucus.

Fuck, is it a ‘paralysis’ verdict?

Having made a quick decision, I switched the positions of the shield and the mace.

“Nine, ninety!!”

Suddenly, I felt a hot fire behind my back.

It was obvious without seeing what it was.

‘It must be Breath.’

Fortunately, there was no major damage.

No, rather, as that pattern fell behind me, many of the spirits of chaos that were attracted to me must have exploded.

But it is too early to be purely happy.

When he says he’s breathing, that means I’m within his attack range.

“Seventy-five… … .”

1 minute 15 seconds remaining.

After the breath, the first direct attack was directed against me.

Quang-!

A huge front paw that slammed down where I was.

The heated barbarian’s fighting nerves worked and he was able to dodge sideways in time… … .

“Seventy-four… … .”

At some point, when I looked straight ahead, I saw a guy standing in my way.

An oversized body reaching 30 m in diameter.

Even the orc hero’s ‘fighting spirit’ was of no use in that gigantic form that could break the will of war just by looking at it.

After all, the fighting spirit is meaningful only to a person who has room to quarrel.

Thump thump thump!

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

My heart is beating like crazy

It certainly deserves it.

There is no way to utilize the knowledge of the deceased and to guarantee survival against him as he is now.

Perhaps it was instinctive, Misha did not memorize the numbers any more.

“Rain, Bjorn. It is now.”

After that, is it starting again?

I thought the whining was meant to be graduating.

[Oh-oh-oh-!!]

Seeing him roar to my face, I immediately turned and ran back.

The back was still noisy.

“You can’t hear me! Hurry, leave me and run away—”

I muttered softly.

“stop.”

You have to make a sound that makes sense.

“I have no intention of letting you die.”

Now come and throw it away?

So, who pays for the Frost Spirits that I invested in?

“What the hell am I… Why are you even doing that… … ?”

Jumping over a group of chaos spirits, he answered briefly.

“Have you already promised?”

Fellow Pledge.

It was a promise to help each other.

At the very least, if you don’t eat enough to make the ring worthwhile, you’ll lose a lot of money.

“promise? That’s the only reason you’re going to die with me!”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha shouted as if she didn’t understand… … .

“Who is going to die?”

i will live

As an efficient person, I take all the rewards I can afford.

I will return to the city outside this labyrinth.

Of course, it must be hard like a dog, but… … .

There’s nothing particularly odd about it.

To say I never got what I wanted without risk—

Quang-!

Huge front paws fall from overhead.

I tried to avoid it, but it was a little late.

“Rain, Bjorn! you arm… … !”

The arm holding the mace was torn off.

It wasn’t that I was hit by a toenail, it was literally torn off.

However, it is something else to be concerned about now.

“time is?”

“I, leave me alone. didn’t You’re sure to die too… … .”

His voice trembled as if he was in a state of panic.

I ran forward with all my might and shouted.

“Mischa Karlstein! Tell me the time!”

“… 60 seconds! 60 seconds left!!”

Yeah, can I just hold on for a minute?

‘I think I’ll end up eating it raw.’

Soon I stopped walking.

I turned my back and looked at that huge chew.

Instinct was still speaking.

I need to run away right now.

But I judged.

It would be unreasonable to run away as long as the distance has narrowed this much.

“Well, well thought. If I die, he will… … .”

Even if you run away, the attack will eventually reach you.

Just looking at it just like that.

If it wasn’t for turning his back and running away, he could have escaped without losing his arm.

So he ran

“Hey! Whoa, what are you doing!”

“If you have time to whine, count the time.”

While dismissing Misha’s grumbling.

I hope that the blessings of my ancestors will be with me in my destiny even a little bit.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”

I ran to the direction of the huge chew, not the opposite direction.

and at that moment.

“Oh, fifty-five… … .”

If there was a change of heart, Misha started counting again.

In addition, that huge chewy spit out the flames with a wicked agar.

It was the moment when my judgment was proven right.

“Fifty-four… … .”

If I had run away by instinct.

If that was the case, I would have only had a future where I could be grilled whole with Misha.

But I didn’t run away.

so that… … .

“Oh, fifty-three!!!”

I managed to get out of the radius by sliding through his crotch in time.

“Fifty-two!!!”

Without even raising its sliding body, it slams its hind foot, which is the center of gravity.

Koo-!

Dodge by rolling sideways.

But immediately, it backs away and claws at it with its front paws.

“Oh, oh, oh, fifty… … .”

I bowed my head and avoided it.

Well, I watched closely what the Dzarwi clan was doing earlier, and I knew the attack pattern.

“Forty-nine.”

take down.

Dodge by jumping sideways like a grasshopper.

“thirty.”

scratch.

Avoid lying flat on the floor like a bug or rolling through your crotch.

“Twenty six… … .”

The tail of the swaying guy jumps with all his might.

The warriors of the Dzarwi clan repeat what they did against the gnome for hours.

In fact, except for the breath and the dark sphere, these three are all he has.

Well, after killing the [prey], a new pattern comes out… … .

“Twenty.”

It’s not hard

[Oh oh oh oh-!]

The guy lets out a loud roar.

As if angry, the attack became a little more ferocious.

“seventeen.”

Perhaps he wanted to make an anomalous attack, and he swung his tail one more time in a row.

“Sixteen.”

He jumped upwards as if jumping rope.

But the height was a little low

Puff-!

Your ankles hit your tail and your body is out of balance.

“fifteen… Heck!”

A body that spins and falls in mid-air.

I rolled over on the floor and got up agilely, but one ankle was completely sore.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Meanwhile, the guy slams his front foot down.

“… … .’

Rolled aside one more time.

Still, I felt it.

You’re one step late.

If you do this well, you might get better—

Quang-!

Fuck, what the hell?

Surprisingly, the ominous foreboding went wrong after a while.

“The character’s soul power is insufficient.”

「[Giantization] will end.」

At that moment, the body was cut in half.

When I turn my head to the side, I see a huge footprint in front of my nose.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Maybe even if the timing was a little late, my head would have turned into a popped watermelon and scattered over there.

Tadat.

I feel dizzy and get up quickly.

I felt pain in my left ankle, but that’s enough to ignore.

‘Is it 10 seconds now?’

Instead of Misha, who seemed to have fainted after being hit by the tail, counted inwardly.

‘9.’

The situation was not good.

‘8.’

At some point, the chaos spirits who have gathered this much are narrowing the range of my actions.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

My ankles were all sore, and my body was numb.

therefore-

‘7.’

He climbed on top of the front paws he had shoved down.

‘6.’

But because it was clear that he was going to drop a piece of shit to shake it off… … .

‘5.’

The left arm and the strong teeth unique to the barbarian were holding it tightly.

I didn’t have a good jaw.

Quang-!

When he slams the floor one more time, the body bounces off due to recoil.

To my surprise, he swiftly grabbed me with his other foot while I was still in the air.

Fish hey hey—.

When he finally succeeded in hunting, he snorted happily.

The open mouth quickly approaches.

If you chew hard with those vicious teeth, you’ll be able to take a bite out of the titanium armor.

However… … .

“It’s late, kid.”

This is a world where there is a labyrinth, there are monsters, and the dead monsters disappear leaving a drop item.

“The labyrinth is closed.”

The eyes are scattering dazzlingly

darkness rushing in.

I thought as I looked at the faint glimmer in the center.

‘Lord of Chaos Liakis.’

He was definitely a dog-like cub as much as the force shown in the game.

Even though I didn’t move on to Phase 2, there was nothing I could do other than being chased and beaten with excitement.

However… … .

If the next day we see each other comes—

[Goo—!!!!!]

It will be different then.

***

“The character will move to Rafdonia.”

***

When I opened my eyes, I saw a light.

Although it was cloudy, the bright light that could not be compared to the labyrinth was nonetheless.

‘I’m alive… … .’

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha, who had closed her eyes for a moment as if enjoying the warmth of the light, hurriedly raised her upper body.

‘Bjorn! What happened to Bjorn?’

As soon as he regained his senses, there was a different atmosphere in the dimensional plaza that he looked at.

“fuse! Call the priest!!”

“Joe, hold on! You are back in the city!!”

Injuries all over the place.

They cry out for help.

“What the hell happened?”

“I don’t know, I asked the guild staff, but they didn’t answer if they were busy.”

Those who do not know about this situation are buzzing and raising doubts.

that’s natural

It is not uncommon for a labyrinth to be closed and to survive dramatically, but only a handful of people have suffered so many injuries at once.

“Did you hear me? It seems that the hierarchical monarch has appeared on the third floor.”

“What? Hierarchy?”

“… Then they must all be explorers on the third floor.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha took a step slowly, leading her body full of headaches.

“Look! It looks like you came from the third floor too, so sit back and relax—”

A male explorer approached, but Misha didn’t answer and pushed him away.

“Stand away.”

taking a break? getting treatment?

Everything is fine, but there is something I need to do before that.

So I wandered through the dimensional plaza full of people and walked.

That was the time.

“My friend, I’m going to die soon.”

“Even if you’re a barbarian, in that state… … .”

barbarian.

At the word suddenly heard from nearby, Misha headed towards it like a possessed person.

Pushing away the crowds gathered as if to watch, heading towards the center, as they said, there was a barbarian.

“Bjorn… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha slowly approached him.

One arm was torn off, and the left ankle was deformed in a deformed shape.

And black mucus covering the whole body.

He seemed to know what had happened since he passed out without even looking.

It must have been a desperate fight.

To live, as always.

“Don’t come near me! The priest is coming, so let’s just leave it—”

I think you can see why everyone is watching from a distance.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha didn’t answer, walked over to him and quietly put her ear to it.

The mucus hit my cheeks and it hurt, but… … .

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

Saek- Saek-.

Breathing out regularly like a baby falling asleep.

“Hey, I was just sleeping. You were surprised… … .”

weakness in arms and legs

Hana Misha gathered strength and wiped the mucus from his body one by one with her hands.

so that he can get some rest.

“The priest is coming, so don’t worry and rest.”

As soon as he wiped away the mucus on his face, Bjorn’s expression was clearly visible.

It was a very comfortable look.

As if he had finished all his work.

Suddenly, the words of a wizard came to mind.

[If the Balkan, who was called the hero of the Barbarians, came back alive, it would be like that… … .]

These were the words of the wizard who admired Bjorn when he opened the way.

Of course, Misha didn’t know what the Balkans were doing.

However… … .

“I think you know what the wizard meant.”

If there was a hero, it would definitely look like this.
