Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 142
142fire awakening (5)
3 minutes have passed since Dwalki's magic support was cut off..
Um, maybe shorter..
Still, it felt like 10 minutes had passed..
“Admit it, Barbarian. This is the first time in my life that a guy like you has.”
I never looked back.
Whether it's a bastard's affair or not.
In fact, even though Dwalki is mentally unstable and in a state of panic,.
I decided that nothing would change.
But did I find it boring??
“I will put your soul to good use. So, just die.”
It seems like the fun ends here.
He stabs me with a dagger from his waist..
It came at such an exquisite angle that it seemed impossible to block or avoid it..
At best, you choose the lesser evil..
Let's twist our body as much as possible and give up our lungs instead of our heart..
It must be a near-fatal injury, but aren't there still top-quality potions left?.
After drinking it and treating it.
Let's hold on somehow.
Misha and the dwarf will wake up soon.
Also, soul exhaustion won’t last forever..
It was a car that made a plan for a split second and tried to put it into action..
The dazzling light pouring down from behind.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Dozens of rounds of magical energy that radiate and bend with a pure white brilliance. It was like a heavy rain and the guy took a step back in confusion..
Just like the dwarf, Lotmiller, and Misha did against Hana..
It was not a meaningful response.
Hwii profit!
The arrows of light chased after him, bending as if each shot had its own will..
At this, the guy stopped running and started hitting the arrows one by one using a small dagger..
It didn't look much different from the situation where river water was being pumped out with just one bowl.…….
‘crazy.’
Surprisingly, his actions worked..
Although he became a hedgehog whose entire body was pierced by an arrow of light, he succeeded in protecting at least his vital areas..
plod.
Suddenly I heard a shout from behind me, and only then did I come to my senses..
Actually, I expected it to some extent.…….
Dwalki was standing behind me..
To put it simply, it means that he also used the magic just now..
“Sorry for keeping you waiting. It took me a while to make up my mind..”
“Determination? What happened to that?—”
“that… … Let's talk about it once we get rid of the author..”
Dwalki looked away as if avoiding an answer..
Seeing this, I definitely don't think it's someone else.…….
‘What on earth?’
I can't explain it at all.
Magical power so dense that even a barbarian with 0 magic aptitude can feel it is flowing out of its body..
And I wasn't the only one curious about this..
“Wizard, what have you done??”
He asks even though blood is dripping all over his body..
Well, if I were her, I would have jumped out and seen it.—
“You're asking when you already know.”
what? I know?
When Dwalki shouted coldly at the guy, the guy became completely dumb..
What, does he really know??
“I'm sorry if I'm taking your time. I know that I don't have much time.”
what? What on earth is going on??
No, more than that, he was this smart guy.?
It's been a long time since my brain couldn't keep up with the current situation..
However, one thing remains to be determined.
To me, it is a very positive variable..
‘You can hear later how I did it.…….’
focus on the situation.
Tadat.
And Dwalki told me.
“Step back. You might get hurt.”
“Ah oh. That's right.”
The character change was hard to get used to, but I just followed what he said..
But what is this again?.
「Riol Warb Dwarki casted the level 8 attack magic [Ice Spear].」
An ice spear is fired..
An ice spear large enough to fill half the passage..
Twice in a row.
Pisshuuuuk-!!
It emits truly overwhelming wind pressure and shoots towards the guy..
But does he have much experience with magic on this scale??
The guy calmly stared at the ice spear, then quickly pulled out an Arcje longsword from subspace..
Pachichichit-!
A sword that emits sparks as if to reject his touch. However, the guy had a vein on his leash and swung it with his teeth clenched..
Kwaaang-!
As expected from an Arc-made longsword with magical counter properties, the huge ice spear was shattered into pieces and scattered with magic just by making contact with the sword..
In that situation.
Tadat.
He kicks the ground again and closes the distance..
Seeing that Dwalki's eyes were slightly shaken, it seems that this was an unexpected situation even for him..
But it wasn't long.
「Riol Warb Dwalki casted the level 7 attack magic [Frost Storm].」
1A spell cast after completing a chant in less than a second..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
At this point, it's not ice shards but small ice spears that are falling.…….
This time too, that rotten Ark-made longsword was the problem..
The figure of the guy is getting closer and closer beyond the blizzard..
When it became possible to confirm with the naked eye, the figure was seen moving forward, only cutting off large chunks of ice with the sword..
‘Yeah, it's not going to be easy until the end..’
I let out a silent sigh and prepared for what would happen next..
There was nothing special.
Not only was my life far from dull,…….
Isn’t it the tanker’s destiny to protect the dealer?.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
A sure win.
I swing my mace at the moment the guy escapes from the blizzard..
But in the meantime, was he even paying attention to me?.
Even though it was a surprise attack, the guy reacted quickly and blocked the mace with his sword..
1Clash between level 6 material steel and level 6 material arc.
Suddenly-!
Regardless of thickness or density, mace cuts like tofu. One guy wasn't satisfied with this and aimed for my neck..
However, at that moment.
Pachichichit-!!
Sparks fly out of the sword like crazy and the guy flinches..
Hands that are red and even steaming.
Is the fact that my entire body is covered in burns related to that sword? I don't know the details, but the guy must have decided that it was no longer possible and put the sword back into subspace..
and…….
Tadat.
He pulled out his dagger again and clung to me..
It was very clear what he wanted..
Okay, I was wondering why he rushed through the magic so suddenly, but this is what he was aiming for..
“Bjorn, stay away from him.!”
It's a strategy in a similar vein to the Barbarian Water Demon mode I used earlier..
Using me as a shield to suppress Dwarki's magic..
Huh, I didn't know I would get this.
「Riol Warb Dwalki casted the level 9 curse spell [Slow].」
Instead of attack magic, curse magic has been superimposed on it, but it is not easy to shake it off because it clings so tenaciously and swings its dagger..
thus.
‘Okay, let's give it a try..’
A mace that has turned into a bamboo spear is stabbed..
You have to be hit by a spell to be defeated, right?.
Puuk.
Thanks to the more powerful 'slowdown', it is not as difficult to deal with as before..
In addition, Dwarki also supports a small amount of magical energy instead of ice spear or cold storm with detailed control..
The situation is clearly in my favor..
But that makes me even more alert..
‘Does he really not know that??’
He knew about the current situation to which Dwalki avoided answering..
Still, he rushed at me.
Why was it??
[I know that I don't have much time.]
The answer is time.
There is little time for Dwalki to remain the same..
Maybe this guy knows more about the time left than Dwalki does..
“Dwalki, use Frost Storm.!”
I made a decision..
“……!”
Looking at the guy's expression, it was the correct answer..
However, Dwalki hesitated..
“but……!”
Although it has changed a bit, Dwalky is still Dwalky..
“Don't worry about me, just write it quickly!!”
Dwarki shouted again as if urging and cast a spell..
Chill swirls over Dwarki's grasp..
“Can you tolerate the cold well??”
“crazy guy.”
Hey, he’s giving me high praise again..
I raised my shield and distanced myself from him..
I planned to hold on somehow, blocking the ice blocks with my shield..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Soon a blizzard filled the passageway where we were, and our skin froze..
But what is this again?.
Through the blizzard where it is difficult to see even an inch ahead, he stabs you with a dagger..
Puuk!
A sword body measuring about 20cm that penetrated deep into the lungs..
“Hahahaha!”
I can't breathe.
Meanwhile, chunks of ice are flying and hitting my body. Crystals as sharp as ice spears grazed my skin..
But you can't just live with it.
Puuk!
My body reacted first and I stabbed the short spear, which was a mace, with all my might..
and at that moment.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Snowstorm ends earlier than expected, visibility returns.
I quickly checked the surrounding space..
Surprisingly, three unexpected events occurred in that short period of time..
“…….”
Dwalki was the first to fall to his knees with blood pouring from his eyes, nose, mouth and even ears..
“…….”
The second thing is that the spear I randomly stabbed pierced the guy's heart..
「The activation conditions for Regal Vagos’ [Second Heart] have been met..」
It was the third time that there was one more numbered item that he had not used yet..
Ha, really, I wasn't going to do this double insult anymore..
「The character receives absolute protection until his or her heart recovers..」
What a fucking crazy bastard.
***
Something red reminiscent of muscles covers its body..
When I saw this, I thought.
How on earth can I kill this bastard?.
Is it really something that can die??
I don't know, but I coughed up blood..
“Kuehhh! Kek, keheek!”
A heart-shaped shell that does not even make a corrosive sound despite being covered in acidic blood..
I turned my back without regret.
No.3120 Second Heart.
A consumable number item that is activated when instant death damage is inflicted on the heart..
At my current level, I can't break that shield no matter what I do..
So, let's get the job done first..
plod, trudge.
I walk slowly with a body that can't even breathe properly..
It's a good thing that Dwalki is a cold attribute wizard..
‘If it wasn't for the 'frostbite' verdict, blood would have already been gushing out..
“de, walkie.”
To say that Dwalki's condition, unconscious while on his knees, was gruesome would not be enough..
Blood was flowing from every pore in my body..
When I checked his pulse, I felt his heart pounding..
As if the speed limit was broken.
“please… … Hang in there.”
First of all, since I couldn't see any injuries, I poured the highest quality potion into my mouth..
Just half as much.
Because there are other people dying right now.
plod, trudge.
Walk as fast as possible.
Every time I walk, my stomach twists and I feel out of breath, but I use my javelin as a cane to speed up my pace..
“Lott, Miller…….”
fortunately he was alive.
Yeah, at least not yet..
He was running towards death in a completely different way than Dwalki..
A heart that beats faintly as if it would stop at any moment.
I sprinkled all of the remaining top-quality potion on the wounded area..
Cheeeeeeeek-!
A wound that is bubbling and starting to heal.
I sat down next to him and focused on my breathing..
I kept coughing and bleeding..
But all I could do was endure it somehow and wait for Rotmiller to recover..
That’s because the remaining two bottles of potion are all in this guy’s [treasure warehouse]..
About a minute has passed since then.?
“rain, bjorn……!”
The dwarf who fainted after hitting his head against the wall came to his senses..
“Dwalki? Where is Dwalki??”
Well, I'm dying too..
First of all, put your best friend first.?
I didn't have the energy to speak, so I pointed in the direction of Dwalki..
“Well, what happened?……!”
He rushed over, looked at Dwalki's details, then carefully picked him up and carried him towards us..
It was that time.
“Off…….”
Misha, who had collapsed about 4 meters away from the wall I was leaning against, lifts his head with difficulty..
“……Bjorn.”
“live.”
“Good luck, Idang…….”
Yes, after all, it’s only you..
Misha stood up with difficulty, touching his broken ribs..
And he came over and sat next to me..
“Lott, Miller……?”
“Potion, wow... … fed.”
Huh, this isn't a meeting of the sick..
I was trying to rest for a while when the dwarf who had finished transporting Dwalki came up to me and put a bandage on the injured area..
“Bjorn, what happened! What is that strange shell over there??”
I didn't want to explain.
I don't have the energy to do that, so what difference will it make if I do?.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing..
“I'm sorry. It must be hard for you too, so take a break. I'll try my best to do the rest.”
The dwarf apologized and went back to Dwalki to check the details..
About a minute passed like that..
「The soul exhaustion condition is lifted..」
Finally, my stats returned to normal and I could breathe a little easier. Even if there is no natural regenerative power, the durability of the body itself changes..
I slowly opened my eyes.
“……Hey! Hey friend, give me strength!”
“Rain, Bjorn… … ? Rotmiller is trembling, I guess he's okay.……?”
The line between life and death was being drawn..
