Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 12
12Tue 2nd floor (2)
I kind of expected a portal to come out..
That's natural.
The fact that I encountered a high-ranking adventurer, a blonde party, was proof that there was a second-floor portal in the direction I came from..
That's why I followed it with confidence as soon as I found the blood trail..
But I didn't expect this either.
I never would have thought that there was a portal less than 10 meters from the starting point..
“I'm going crazy.”
Memories of the time when I crawled on three legs unfold like a panorama..
How unlucky am I??
Just a few steps in the opposite direction would have activated the portal and secured the light..
Then I could have seen that damn trap and avoided it.!
“Uncle, please tell me. Don't make such a scary face. If I do something wrong, I will fix it.…….”
But what was he talking about earlier??
Oh, it's because of me..
It's annoying, so let's just go around it..
“never mind. I just remembered old times.”
“ah…….”
Erwen looks at me with relief, but then looks at me with sadness. she couldn't believe it.
Blood stains, pieces of bread, sandals, the expression I was making.
You could infer what I experienced on the first day just from this situation? This guy?
“I'm sure he went to a good place too..”
That can't be possible either. I was believing.
“okay… thanks.”
From what I'm saying, it seems like he misunderstood that I was reminiscing about a friend I lost some time ago.…….
I never felt the need to correct it..
It's too long a story to explain one by one..
More than anything, I feel like I will get angry when I talk to someone..
So let's just leave this story buried.
“Are you ready to go up??”
“To be honest, I'm still scared, but somehow I feel like I won't die if I'm with you..”
If you look closely, he has a strange habit of talking for a long time. All you have to do is say ‘yes’.
“Then go.”
“yes…….”
The moment I entered the portal with Erwen, my eyes turned pure white..
Like when light comes out from a monitor.
flash-!
[00 : 57]
It's been exactly 4 days since entering the labyrinth..
「2Entered the Goblin Forest.」
I reached the second floor.
***
If someone asks me how I feel right now, I will answer like this:.
After murmuring in the giant frog's mouth for a while, ugh! I feel like I was spit out.
“Wow!”
The body hovers as if it is being bounced by something..
He didn't scream like Erwen, but if you look at the results, he was better than me..
thud-!
While I landed on my butt with a dull sound, Erwen quickly regained her balance and landed safely..
“Wow, I'm surprised. Even my sisters didn’t tell me this..”
I'm realizing again that this guy has really good physique..
It's an agility that a barbarian can't have..
“Man, is this the second floor??”
“okay.”
“Hmm, I didn’t hear about a forest. That's for sure?”
“I'm guessing what you heard was referring to the other 2nd floor..”
“The other second floor.?”
Don't fairies share labyrinth information properly? Why don't you know this??
“1There are four portals on each floor, each in the north, south, east and west, and the connecting points vary depending on the region..”
“Ah, now that I think about it, I think so.!”
…I just forgot.
When I looked at him as if I was pitiful, Erwen opened his mouth in embarrassment and said something..
“Ah, the third floor! They said that no matter which route you take, it all leads back to the 3rd floor. Right?”
It looks like he wants to show off his knowledge..
When I roughly nodded yes, Erwen smiled with a satisfied face..
I'm slowly getting a sense of how to deal with him..
“Okay, so what do we do now??”
“wait. Are you thinking about it?.”
First, I calmly checked the surrounding terrain..
It is necessary to point out what parts are different from the game and what parts are the same..
For example, just like I flew about 3 meters while going through the portal..
Things you couldn't see through the monitor.
“Hmm.”
First, I checked my surroundings one more time..
There is a portal in the back that allows you to go down to the first floor at any time, and there are no living creatures in the vacant lot with a radius of about 50m..
Well, I don't know what it's like in the trees far away..
“Is there anything I can help you with??”
“stay still.”
2The map of the layer is a forest..
The surroundings are as dark as night, but thanks to the lights scattered in the sky like the Milky Way, visibility is secured to some extent..
The brightness is similar to that of an alleyway without street lights..
However, as time passes, it will not become daylight or brighter..
Because this is a labyrinth.
That actually isn't the sky, it's just a ceiling located high up. Well, there is a layer where the real sky and sun exist..
“Let me move slowly.”
“yes? where are you going?”
“Explore the area around here.”
1There is a plan laid out from the ground up..
But there are a few things to check to see if this will actually work..
So, first of all, from what you can see.
Kwaang-!
Erwen is startled when he suddenly swings the hammer at a tree outside the clearing..
“Well, what are you doing??”
“I checked to see if it was possible to knock down a tree..”
“Why are you checking that??”
“I was thinking of putting up a fence around the portal..”
“Hmm, I see..”
Only then did Erwen nod with an expression of approval..
It's really annoying to have to answer them one by one..
“Anyway, this plan is abandoned..”
Erwen didn't even ask why..
That's because he also has eyes.
Even though I hit the tree with all my might, the only thing that ended up happening was the bark was slightly broken..
What kind of tree is this? It's a rock.
“So what's your next plan??”
“We will search this area as planned. And from now on you take the lead.”
“…It's me?”
I decided not to ask any questions.
“What you need to do is move ahead and look for traps. Also, pay attention to the presence of the enemy as much as possible and be alert to the enemy. There are two things like this.”
“…It means division of roles. all right.”
Surprisingly, Erwen meekly accepted the assigned role..
But why is it sad??
Is it because I have already prepared everything to persuade you??
“Still, I feel like I'm missing something from being in the forest. Even though I know there are only monsters.”
Erwen walked down the forest path, saying something I couldn't relate to at all..
“Oh, I don't think there are any traps, but just in case, just follow the path I walk..”
what? Hey? Suddenly something felt reassuring..
In fact, he was walking at a brisk pace, as if he wasn't afraid of the trap..
Before long, Erwen muttered softly..
“It's a trap.”
invisible to my eyes.
“If you look over there, you'll see something hidden under the leaves..”
No matter how much I say, I can't see it.
Soon, Erwen looked like ‘Why can’t I do something like this?’ and threw a rock..
whip-!
It really was there.
How can you spot that on this street when it's so dark??
Even though I knew in advance about the fairy's detection ability, seeing it with my own eyes was just amazing..
There was a reason why you walked with great strides..
“how is it?”
“He seems to be good at throwing rocks..”
“…That's all?”
“What else do you need??”
At this point, Erwen's shoulders, which had been straight, slumped..
It's the perfect time to give carrots.
Subtly so as not to be too obvious.
“Finding traps was an ability I expected from you from the beginning. You are already a full-fledged explorer. Don't get too excited about taking things for granted..”
“Hmm…….”
I pretend not to, but I can clearly see my shoulders twitching slightly from behind..
Thanks to you, I totally got the idea..
I think we can continue to deal with it this way in the future..
“Still, you're saying I'm playing the role of one person, right? As a proper explorer?”
“okay.”
Yes, the distribution is 9:1.
Anyway, it seems that the 'one-man warrior' variant that our tribal leader particularly liked worked better than expected..
“But it's strange. No matter how much I listen, I don't think there are goblins..”
That's natural.
2Because the floor is different from the first floor. Just because there is a trap doesn't necessarily mean there will be a goblin nearby. It is convenient to view the trap on the second floor as just a geographical feature..
Wherever you go, there are countless.
“Now stop chatting and focus..”
“yes.”
I re-tightened the tension and explored this area..
The place I am currently in is a place called ‘Goblin Forest’ in the game..
Another feature other than traps is that goblins basically come together in groups of about 15..
Occasionally, mutant species, such as goblin swordsmen or goblin archers, appear..
Of course, as you go to the outskirts, the number of mutants increases, and higher-level monsters also appear.…….
For those of us who plan to only install it at the entrance near the portal, we don't need to worry too much about it..
“First of all, there is nothing nearby..”
We completed a search in a 200m radius centered on the portal..
There were countless traps, but no group of goblins were found..
“What should I do?”
“First, remove all traps in this area and then gradually increase the range..”
We gradually expanded our territory by removing traps with stones from a distance..
If there is any danger, you should run to the first floor..
If you step on a trap while running, you'll be in big trouble..
This was when the radius was expanded to more than 500m..
“mister.”
Erwen stopped and spoke in a whisper..
I also held my breath..
“It's a bunch of goblins..”
“How many are there??”
“I don't know I think I'm definitely over the fever.…….”
“The distance is?”
“50About m. I don't think they've noticed us yet. What should I do?”
What kind of obvious thing is he saying?.
“fight.”
Erwen did not comment on my words. It's a little scary, but I know it..
I have no choice but to fight anyway.
If you don't like fighting, you shouldn't have entered the labyrinth..
“How much closer can you get without being seen??”
“I think I can go up to 30m on my own without you. Anything more than that is too much. Goblins have a keener sense of smell than you think..”
“Right.”
After thinking briefly, I decided to go ahead with the plan I mentioned earlier..
Erwen also slowly walked through the bushes in the direction of the group of goblins..
Is that a fairy??
It's amazing every time I walk through the bushes and don't hear any rustling noises..
“…….”
Soon Erwen stopped walking..
Then he looked towards where I was, and when I nodded, he turned his back and put the arrow on the string and shot..
Whiuuuuuung.
Is it a hit??
I don't know.
It was so far away that I couldn't hear the sound of it hitting..
I hope I can properly pierce between the eyebrows this time too..
ta da da dat!
As soon as the arrow was fired, I ran straight to Erwen..
“That's right!!!”
“purr!!!”
Even as the excited goblins were running towards him, Erwen was calmly preparing for the second shot..
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung!
I feel it every time, but it's an insane firing speed..
When I watched these parts in the game, I couldn't feel them at all..
deeply-!
A goblin that was running fell down..
The hit location was not between the eyebrows, but on the neck..
Well, even if you are a fairy, it would be difficult to accurately hit something moving from afar..
“Erwen, you step back..”
“yes!”
Erwen stepped back without hesitation and disappeared from my sight..
Now all I see in front of me is goblins swarming in front of me..
1It is three times the size of what we encountered on the first floor..
Even if you're a goblin, you might feel a little intimidated at this level.…….
Surprisingly, I don't feel afraid at all..
No, rather.
Exciting-!
The warrior's heart in this body is writhing warlikely, heating up my head..
“That's right, that's right!!”
“purr!!!”
While listening to the menacing howls of countless goblins, I shouted..
“Spaaartaaaaa—!!!”
Everyone come at me fuck it.
