Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 10
10Tue night friend (3)
Strictly speaking, the term “we” is not correct..
Because the duo of Tungtung and Bisil were interested in Erwen, not me..
Tap tap, I shook Erwen with my foot again..
“Mmm…….”
Ugh, what the heck. Wake up quickly. Because I know you’re not sleeping. As soon as I heard their voices, I took a quick look and saw them covering their faces with blankets..
“Wow!”
There was no time to argue, so I just grabbed his shoulder and forced him up..
“Why do you pretend to sleep?”
“that is…….”
Erwen frowned and avoided eye contact..
For me, who needs to get information and make a decision as quickly as possible, this is quite an awkward attitude..
Swish.
When I grab his chin and turn him to look into my eyes, Erwen reluctantly opens his mouth..
“You'll go when I wake up.…….”
Indeed, was that so?.
I made an oath. So, if a dispute arises with the explorer while you are on watch, you must fight together. But unfortunately, this happened on the last turn as promised..
Well, I don't care about fame or anything like that.…….
He doesn't know that..
So I tried to hold on somehow..
Because the moment I open my eyes, my vow to be friends at night ends..
“after.”
I took a deep breath first..
If a grown man like Uncle Hans had done something like this, I would have been angry.…….
Since this is just a 20-year-old, my feelings of pity bloom first..
Of course, that is that and this is this..
“What happened with those two guys??”
“There wasn't.”
“But why are you hiding??”
“…It was the same pattern on the clothes. With the human man who tried to harm me. He must be a member of the same group..”
It’s a group… … . Damn, the situation is getting more intense.?
I'm starting to wonder if it would be better to just say goodbye to this fairy girl and go our separate ways..
“Let's talk while we move on..”
“Are you helping me??”
“Listen to the whole story.”
First, I left the place where I had taken Erwen. And I almost ran, moving around to figure out the rest of the situation..
“tell me everything that happened.”
Erwen must have read the mood, too, and simply recited only the important information without saying too much..
“On the first day, a person I met as a night friend attacked me while I was sleeping. I found out later that he was an executive of a group whose main stage was the first floor..”
For reference, the name of the group is 'Modification Union'’.
“I managed to escape, but from then on, people from the same group attacked me every time they saw me. I also got injured at that time..”
I paused for a moment..
“Wait, how did they know that??”
“It's a message stone..”
So what is it? There was nothing like that in the games I played.
“in more detail.”
“It is a magic tool that allows you to communicate with message stones that have been resonated in advance. I heard the radius is about 300m..”
“Right.”
It's a type of walkie-talkie. If you set the frequency in advance, communication is possible up to a radius of 300m..
I slowly understood the situation..
If there are magic tools like this and a lot of manpower, information will be easily conveyed even in such a closed environment..
However, the problem is…….
“What's the reason I'm chasing you like that??”
Erwen did nothing wrong..
But why do they go to such lengths to pursue the victim?.
“Is it because of silence??”
“…I don't think it's just because of that..”
“There's more?”
“that is…….”
Erwen, who was calmly answering the question, hesitates to speak again. If this is your attitude, there is no way I can help you..
It was the car I was just thinking about..
“My wife, when she first ran away, she swung a knife. But that's not good because it's true…….”
“…If it's a bad place?”
It's somehow cool.
The wind keeps blowing through my crotch..
“It, it, it, it's there.……?”
It's real.
“Hmm, anyway, when I heard about the people who were chasing me, they were completely cut off and I couldn't attach them with a potion... … . I think that's why…….”
It's worth turning on the lights and chasing after you.
“Sin, sin, I'm sorry…….”
It's nothing to apologize for.
Wasn't he the one who provided the cause? It's a good thing to be self-employed. The problem is that there are too many people in the world who don't even know that simple principle..
“Man, I think there's a tracer..”
“what?”
“don't look back.”
I tried to focus on my hearing, but I couldn't hear anything special..
“The distance... I think it's about 150 meters behind..”
It's a strange distance to feel a presence, but I don't think he's lying. There's no reason for him to do that..
So is this the fairy’s natural aura??
Suddenly he looks different.
“I need to speed up, is that okay??”
“yes. It's worth holding on for now.”
Even though the wound had opened and the white bandage had turned red, Erwen did not let out a sound of pain..
It's good spirit.
Well, my mind is complicated, but.
“Distance from pursuer?”
“…Still about 150m.”
Even if you increase your speed, the distance does not increase.
things are not good.
By now, the tracker should be using a message stone or something to inform his colleagues of our location..
It has to be done.
If their target had been me, I would definitely have made that decision..
But I'm still running.
'Cause once you kill it, you can't take a step back.
So, before you dip your toe in, let’s check it out.
“Me, man……?”
How much risk do I have to take, and what can I get in return?.
More detailed information is needed.
“Erwen.”
“yes yes?”
“what are you good at?”
“I am confident in things like laundry and cleaning. Yeah, I'm not good at cooking, but…….”
What is he talking about now??
“When you say you're in battle.”
“…Bow, bow! Oh, and elemental magic too.!”
It's just a classic bow fairy..
“The properties are?”
“…Fire.”
Well, it's the most precious attribute..
Thanks to you, the picture is slowly being drawn..
“I've never killed anyone?”
“no… … . But, you can.”
You have to try it to find out..
“Right.”
I asked her one last question.
“Erwen, will you become my colleague? The period is until you escape from the labyrinth, and the distribution of loot is 9 for me and 1 for you..”
“I'll do it, I'll do it!”
With this, I also have a cause..
***
“—I promise in the name of my clan.”
“I too swear on my warrior's honor.”
We took something as a token of trust, as before, and our relationship evolved from one-night stand friends to temporary companions..
Of course, while fucking running.
“The distance is?”
“100About m!”
Even though we were at the maximum speed we could achieve, the distance was closing..
I made up my mind..
“Go to the outskirts.”
“yes!”
I turn and enter a dark passage..
There are fewer and fewer shining crystals on the walls and ceiling, and soon pitch darkness falls before us..
My mind is complicated.
Huh, I never thought I'd come back here on my own feet.
“Erwen, summon the spirit..”
A watermelon-sized flame floats above the palm of your hand, lighting up the surroundings. I walked quickly through the darkness, watching the floor..
and…….
“cancel the summons.”
hid in the dark.
“The presence?”
“Soon you will be able to hear it too..”
“Right.”
I kept my composure as much as possible and concentrated on my hearing..
The best situation is for the pursuer to miss us and pass by..
Then there will be no need to kill him, and I will also be able to get out later..
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah-.
Before long, I could hear the tracker's footsteps in my ears..
However, contrary to expectations, his steps stopped without passing by..
Just in front of the crossroads we turned at.
Tuk.
Shit…….
It seems like he has the means to track us. A smell, a sound, or something magical..
plod, trudge.
He turned and walked slowly, stopping about 30 meters away from us..
The border where the abyss-like darkness begins.
“…….”
He stuck out his head and looked inside.,
We also watched him with bated breath..
“Here it is.”
The guy who sniffed a few times in the quiet silence muttered to himself..
Then, he takes something out of his pocket..
It was the first time I had seen this object, but I intuitively knew its identity..
message stone.
I gave a signal by briefly reciting this as soon as I saw the spring..
Towards Erwen, who must have been pointing arrows while pulling the strings..
“shoot.”
deeply-.
Before I could finish my words, the arrow fired hit the man between the eyes..
dump.
Even though the dead man fell to the floor, I didn't go out right away..
“…….”
I felt a tremor that I couldn't hide from Erwen who was sitting right next to me..
“Good job. If I had hesitated, it would have been dangerous..”
It's not just a superficial compliment, it's sincere..
Didn't I also pause when I hit the man with my shield? Just now, Erwen didn't even have that kind of time..
You probably knew it yourself without me having to tell you again..
You should never hesitate.
“yes…….”
“you take a break.”
The consolation was over at this point and I came out of the darkness and searched for the corpse..
The pursuer seemed to have left his backpack with another colleague to move quickly, and his behavior was quite simple..
‘If I feel regretful about a place like this, I guess I'm part of this place too..’
First, I took off the pursuer's equipment from head to toe, and then organized the items I had acquired one by one..
A belt, leather tops and bottoms, two daggers, a fairly heavy magic stone pouch, a bottle of potion stored in the pocket and tied to the belt, and even a message stone..
“Good. Come here.”
After roughly sorting things out, I called Erwen..
Then I took off the bandage and used a potion to treat the wound..
A wound that starts to heal and makes a sound.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
It was okay to make noise, but Erwen gritted his teeth and held it in..
He also has a toxic side. No, I'm just out of my mind?
I hope it's the former. I’m not confident in counseling..
“Are you coming to your senses??”
“yes. It's flashing.”
“Then change into this..”
After a few minutes of treatment, I held out the leather top and bottom I had just acquired..
I decided that this was much more practical than fluttering cloth clothes..
“I'll wear it right away.”
Did I think that the one who followed all my judgments had a higher chance of survival? It may have felt uncomfortable, but Erwen immediately took his clothes and went into the dark to change..
“There's a little bit left. Come here and see.”
I personally cut off the protruding hem with my arms and legs..
“Carry this too. It will be a little better.”
It looks a little baggy overall, but when you wear the belt, it still looks quite comfortable..
But perhaps because the clothes changed, the atmosphere completely changed..
Previously, she was a fairy girl who came out on the road, but now she looks like a full-fledged female warrior..
Even that expression.
“…It feels very strange.”
“You'll get used to it.”
“Sure, Joe……?”
“yes it will.”
I stuffed all my other belongings into my backpack and dragged the naked corpse away, hiding it in the dark..
And I held the message stone in my hand..
“How do I write this??”
“wait a minute. I'll try it.”
Erwen looked at the message stone and clicked something..
[…Serdin, who was tracking the fairy bitch and the barbarian, lost contact. All those contacted are to gather in Goblin District..]
First of all, this is as I expected..
