Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 144
144painting great legacy (1)
Exciting-!
Regal Vagos opened his eyes to the sound of his heart pounding in his head..
The surroundings were dark..
My body didn't move, and I could feel the sticky mucus on my skin..
As if curled up in amniotic fluid..
‘Okay, did you even write this?…….’
There is no feeling that it was a waste..
If it had been his head that had been stabbed instead of his heart, he would have definitely died..
I'm just curious about one thing.
How did we get to this point?.
For some reason, I am reminded of a conversation I had with an old colleague..
It was a conversation that took place before he betrayed the laws of heaven and placed a terrible curse on his body..
[Want me to tell you why you always lose money? You follow along, taking only as much as you need at the time. Even when a win is necessary.]
Of course, card games and fighting are different.
Moreover, the words themselves are absurd to apply to the current situation..
But the context is similar.
Until five cards were collected, the winner could not be decided..
Exciting-!
To put it simply, I lacked resolve..
I gave it away one by one and ended up here..
1I gave it time because of the item I had been looking for for nearly a year..
I had to use a verb.
But these persistent guys didn't give up..
I swung the dragon slayer sword again and again, determined to keep the situation at bay for at least a year, but they stubbornly held on..
And now even the second heart has been used.
Exciting-!
Regal Vagos finally admitted.
Because he underestimated the enemy, because he did not risk everything to fight him like he would his own enemy..
We have reached this point.
pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding.
The beating cycle of the regenerated heart is shortened and light returns. He stood up, brushing off the mucus that stuck to his body..
“…….”
I saw a barbarian beyond the passage..
The guy was already walking towards this way..
With a hole in the lung.
With red blood flowing from the mouth.
Without even receiving support from the dwarf warrior next to him,.
plod, trudge.
I walk desperately.
only one goal.
to kill the enemy.
Sigh.
He let go of his grip on the dagger at his waist..
And I reconsidered my judgment.
As I spoke, my heart that had been cursed recovered to some extent. The remnants of the curse remain, but my physical abilities have returned to a certain level and I am now able to use my special abilities..
A result that would not have been possible if it were not for Yongin’s characteristic that the source of strength is located in the heart..
‘I never thought it would be like this..’
That too was unexpected..
‘This was the first time the 'second heart' was actually used..
Should I say it was a happy miscalculation??
Thanks to you, the odds of winning have gone up a lot..
plod.
Of course, they seem to be over the state of soul exhaustion, but that doesn't change anything..
Just kill the dwarf warrior and you're done..
Even that barbarian wouldn't be able to defend himself with injuries like these on his body..
I thought so.
At least until I look into his eyes.
‘It's like I'm seeing some kind of immortality..’
He grabbed an Arche longsword instead of a dagger..
The remnants of the curse left in my heart caused extreme pain as soon as I held it. I had a feeling that if I used more, I might lose the use of one arm forever. No, I was sure..
but…….
‘If I'm going to kill that damn bastard, I'll have to be prepared too..’
I give up about eight.
to kill the enemy.
for myself to survive.
“Come, Barbarian.”
***
I am taking steps unsteadily..
Next to him is a dwarf, and behind him is Misha, who was insisting that he would fight too..
“Well thought out.”
The dwarf made it sound like he left Misha behind because he was worried, but that wasn't the only reason..
Rotmiller hasn't woken up yet..
If I wake up even for a moment, there has to be someone left behind to take out the potion and throw it at me..
“Yeah, that guy is Dwalki…….”
“Hikuro, swallow your anger. If you die, it's over for all of us..”
“……I guess so.”
The dwarf swallowed down his burning emotions..
I know it too.
How important is the task you have to do now?.
plod.
Take steps and shorten the distance.
Soon we will be able to check each other's expressions..
There was no need for long words between us..
“Come, Barbarian.”
As if he wasn't tired of it, he's holding the Akze long sword and staring at us again..
Nimiral, what is the condition that allows you to keep taking it out and using it whenever you need it? Cursing welled up in my throat, but I didn't have time to spit it out..
Tadat.
The one who rushes in first when we don't come.
But what is this again?.
It's not compared to the first time, but it's moving faster than the last time I saw it..
In other words, the physical condition has recovered quite a bit..
Why? I thought it was definitely not a short-term injury..
Variables appear one after another from the beginning..
Suddenly!
A shield that cuts like tofu.
It belongs to the dwarf who blocked my path..
I chased the guy away by stabbing him with the mace that turned into a short spear, and then handed over my lithium shield to him without any hesitation..
“use this.”
My shield isn't in perfect condition, but I think it's better than a steel buckler..
Kakakak!
The guy's subsequent attack gets stuck deep into the shield..
[It was immediately repaired through [Emergency Restore], but since soul exhaustion has just been lifted, it will not be able to be used again and again..
‘Nothing really goes according to plan..’
He woke up earlier than expected.
Not only the heart but also other parts have recovered..
I can even use skills I couldn’t use before..
「Regal Vagos casted [Greater Haste].」
A blade that comes across in an instant, as if defying the laws of physics. He was a dwarf who chose evasion instead of defense, but he was far from it..
Therefore, he sacrificed his left arm, which did not have a shield anyway..
‘Flesh Explosion.’
The hand stretched out towards him explodes, throwing out dozens of pieces of flesh..
But he didn't back down.
Cheeeeeeeeeek!
Even though he was covered in acid blood and groaning, he swung his sword until the end and cut deeply into the dwarf's thigh..
Powok-!
In the meantime, the dwarf used a battle hammer to hit the guy's chin..
The guy’s body stiffens as if there was no damage..
He immediately jumped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and rolled over..
and…….
‘Flesh Explosion.’
He thrust his left arm, which was already useless, into the gaping maw and exploded it again..
“Kaaaaak!”
He screamed and pushed me away..
And immediately thrust the sword into my neck..
Clink!
The glass bottle hit the back of my head and broke, spilling its contents..
「Rejuvenation (Superlative) effect allows your body to regenerate very quickly.」
This pain is the best potion..
No, Rotmiller also survived..
I take a step back, shaking off the fleeting thoughts that pass through my mind..
Puuk!
The sword that pierced my neck fell out and I felt dizzy..
And he was a bastard who couldn't tolerate even a moment of lapse..
“Yeah, yeah!”
A sword that instantly pierces the abdomen and tears through the internal organs..
I inherited the dwarf's will and instead took a step forward and stabbed my javelin..
fault.
He hurriedly pulled out his sword and widened the distance, and I used [Giant] without hesitation..
Fuck, where are you running away?.
“kahak!”
The guy who got stabbed in the shoulder spit out a fountain of blood..
But did this bastard come prepared for the fight?.
He also takes a step forward and swings his sword again..
It's already too late to avoid it.
I hold the sword with my rough arms..
The bony fingers flew away, the feeling of catching in the wrist bones bloomed, and the sword stopped..
「The character's health is below 20%..」
「Passive skill [Hero's Path] increases all resistance and resistance values..」
[Synergy effect between [Iron Leather] and [Hero's Path].
I lifted the javelin stuck on his shoulder and shook it back and forth, and he endured it and strengthened the hand holding the sword..
That's how the struggle of power began.
Unfortunately, the winner was this guy..
「Regal Vagos casted [Sacred Blade].」
The guy's sword soon began emitting white light and cut diagonally up to my elbow..
thud.
[The arm in the [Giant] state fell to the ground, and I hit the cross section of the arm, which was spewing out acidic blood, on the guy's face..
Cheeeeeeeek!
“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Oh, a bastard with no pain tolerance.
Where are you holding on to evil?—
「The character lacks soul power.」
「[Gigantization] ends.」
Because I already lacked soul power, my body shrank back to its original state in less than a few seconds. Because of this, the bastard's feet, which were floating in the air, also touched the ground..
But did I underestimate this guy’s resolve?.
Tadat.
Instead of backing away, the guy thrust his sword once more..
‘Nimiral.’
9Does this floor explorer have any clues??
Why are you so good at dog fighting?.
If I continued like this, my head would be pierced, so I quickly twisted my body and took a step back..
pike. No, losing the skewer that used to be a mace is a bonus..
To make matters worse, the body's regeneration stopped..
‘Fucked..’
Although Amman was a top-class potion, there were limitations..
It wasn't eaten, it was just sprinkled on..
It's a place where your arms are blown off and your organs are torn to pieces, so let alone the blood, it's too much to just maintain the status quo..
But in that situation.
“My, Three… … all!”
The guy runs at me.
It was truly hopeless..
The worst case scenario was already clearly pictured in my head..
inevitable death.
But so what?.
I have no intention of just giving up and accepting it..
I stared at his sword with my eyes wide open until the very end..
And the moment I approached it, I rolled to the side..
Regardless of whether I become defenseless against subsequent attacks, it is the best choice I can make in the current situation..
I rolled on the floor and recoiled to raise my body..
That guy's arc-made longsword was looming large before my eyes..
It was that moment.
“……!”
As if an invisible force was pulling him by the back, he fell backwards..
How on earth did this happen?.
When I look up for the answer.
“Hey, he! Is this mousse?!!”
From a distance, I saw an old man wearing a black priest's robe..
***
Close your eyes, block your ears.
Still, it can be heard clearly.
how desperately they fight.
[Yeah, why don't you run away?.]
[Protect Dwalki!!]
At first, it was painful to watch..
It was believed that pointless resistance would only lead to greater despair and suffering..
But since when?.
“Why on earth are they…….”
As their desperate fight continued, Ludwig discovered.
Self that constantly asks questions.
[This is our stuff..]
Why don't you give in?.
[Argh! Dwalky! Don't die! Please, yes?]
Because I ignored the predicted results and harbored false hopes in my heart.?
No, if that's the case, why.
[Beat it... can you do it?]
[Don't worry. I will definitely save everyone and return home..]
Can we still move forward so brilliantly?.
The answer was really simple.
they were strong.
Unlike myself, who did not have the courage to make sacrifices.
“…….”
Ludwig knew too..
No matter how much I wait, the day I hoped for will never come.
That hopeful future of returning to the city with my grandson did not exist from the beginning..
I just didn't have the courage to accept it..
“The star that rises at dusk will guide me.”
Ludwig briefly made the sign of the cross..
His opened eyes no longer trembled with fear..
I just stared straight ahead.
He was more fiercely convinced than ever.
“I will follow your will.”
Star Goddess, Rheatlas.
One of the three gods who preside over adventure and relationships.
As someone who once served and followed him, how could I dismiss it as a coincidence?.
In front of myself who gave up my courage.
The appearance of those with such brilliant light is the final grace given to the wandering subordinates..
so that…….
“Even if I can't be held in your arms.”
The old man looked into space and shouted.
“Karui, I offer myself.”
The capricious evil spirit laughed happily at his words..
There's no way he doesn't know what he's doing.
As if it was the moment I had been waiting for.
[what do you wish for.]
“send me there.”
[Your grandchildren will not be saved..]
My heart flinched at those words..
But it relieves weakness.
“It doesn't matter though.”
Didn't you learn it from a young wizard you met in a maze?.
It could become sublime and noble at any time..
If he wishes.
