Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 145
145painting great legacy (2)
Ancient Evil God Karui.
Unlike the three remaining gods in the world, he is a being who demands infinite compensation from his subordinates..
He doesn't give everything out of mercy..
It just makes my earnest wish come true.
Without distinction between good and evil.
If the price is enough.
No more, no less, just that much.
[I allow it..]
The moment I finally heard the answer I had been waiting for.
The arm of the magic beast that appeared tearing through space tore off Ludwig's arm and took it away..
However, when he came to his senses, he was standing in the same spot he had been staring at..
It was truly a devil-like power and authority..
Especially since there is always a price to pay..
“My, Three… … all!”
Even at the moment he made his decision, the cruel battle was drawing to a close..
Ludwig urgently stretched out his hand..
and…….
[I will take it..]
that was enough.
There was no need to explain to the evil spirit what one wanted in return..
“Hey, he! Is this mousse?!!”
The body of the dragon slayer, who was stabbing the barbarian warrior with his sword, was met with strong resistance and was thrown back..
But in return.
support-!
Both ears were torn off.
A permanent injury sacrificed to an evil spirit that cannot be healed by any divine power or potion..
A pain that cannot be compared to even a fire blooms..
But Ludwig thought of only one thing..
Yes, the authors were fighting even in this pain..
“Ngni. Nar, heal, la..”
The dragon slayer emits a black eye and gives an order..
As a result, the body moved as if possessed, regardless of will..
Apart from his grandson, whose soul was also captured by this guy, it was because of one of his special abilities, [Slavery]..
As long as that accursed supernatural ability is bound, you cannot reject his words..
but…….
[I'll count to ten.]
The giant beast's claws rip off even the remaining arm, and at the same time, the body that was moving forward regardless of will stops..
but it's still not enough.
There's still a lot to hope for,
There is still a lot left to offer.
legs, eyes, heart, lungs.
anything is good.
I will sacrifice everything of my miserable body..
If, as a body that has reached its twilight, I can help young heroes advance on their path..
I will even give up my wish to end my tiring life and rest in His arms..
so…….
“Give me the strength to kill the author.”
Ludwig spoke, and the evil spirit answered.
[impossible.]
Impossibility, not refusal.
No matter how much he valued 'arbitrary' sacrifice as the greatest value, this meant that the price was not enough..
However, Ludwig shook off all his regrets..
It was different from the resignation I had been doing every day..
Wasn't it just before that I decided to give up hope that I couldn't achieve and do what I could?.
The evil spirit allowed him only 10 seconds of freedom..
There is no time to waste on despair.
“Then let me protect them..”
Ludwig spoke again, and the evil spirit laughed..
and…….
[I allow it..]
The magic beast's arms stretched out from the darkness, tearing his body apart and devouring it..
***
There was a brief sense of relief that a momentary crisis had been avoided..
Doubts bloom.
How did Karui's priest travel 4 hours to arrive here, and why did he do something harmful to the dragon slayer?.
I have other plans?
“Hey, he! Is this mousse?!!”
Looking at the dragon slayer's expression, it doesn't seem like that is the case. To put it simply, it means that the situation was completely unexpected..
However, it was difficult to view it as a positive variable..
“Ngni. Nar, heal, la..”
A black glow blooms from the eyes of the guy who falls backwards without even losing his sword..
It was obvious without even looking at what it was..
[subjugation].
The grade 3 essence ability it possesses..
If used on the dead, it absorbs souls to increase stats. There are some conditions for use, but if used on the living, it is a fraud skill that can treat the target like a slave..
plod.
Soon the priest takes steps as if possessed..
But the moment when everything seemed to be over.
Suddenly.
The priest's remaining arm is torn off..
As if offering a sacrifice to an evil spirit hidden in the dark..
plod.
The priest who was moving forward as if possessed stops walking..
To say his appearance was terrible would be an understatement..
It looks as if both ears and both arms have been bitten off by an animal..
But with that image the priest speaks.
“Give me the strength to kill the author.”
Only then did I accurately perceive the situation..
Who is this unknown priest talking to?.
And what kind of deal was made?.
If my predictions are all right, there is a way to survive—
[impossible.]
The answer to the priest's request was no..
A voice that echoes throughout the passage as if speaking to everyone present here. At this, joy and sorrow intersect, and a brief look appears in the eyes of the dragon slayer..
It was that moment.
“Then let me protect them..”
The man’s request was followed up without the slightest hesitation..
At this, laughter was heard from somewhere..
and…….
[I allow it..]
The priest fell to the floor..
It was natural.
Because the two legs that supported my body were torn off..
However, evil spirits are contradictory beings that give both hope and despair..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
In return, a portal was opened..
A portal appears in the center of the passage, scattering black light and swirling around..
The color of the light was different, but it was a portal.
The highest level of magic that can open the door from the labyrinth to the city..
Hehehey profit!
Soon, a portal emanating enormous magical power appeared beyond it..
It was not the gray city of Lafdonia that I was familiar with..
The dark and gloomy appearance of the underground fortress.
“Yes, yes! What are you doing, Daja Mercer?……!”
The dragon slayer's body is slowly pushed away, as if pushed by an invisible gust of wind..
Towards where the portal is.
“No matter what your son says—”
“This is something I should have done a long time ago..”
The dragon slayer was angry and shouted something, but the priest only responded stubbornly..
“Sivaaaaa!!!”
It seemed like he had finally accepted that there was no way to stop the priest's decision, and as he looked at me with anger, he shifted his gaze and stared at one place..
And stretched out my hand.
Slurp.
Then, the Arkje longsword that was left without an owner scratched the ground. A silver long sword moving towards the guy as if drawn by magnetism..
It was very obvious what I was going to do..
Even if I go, I will take this with me..
‘Damn sword lover bastard.’
Forcibly putting strength into my wobbly legs, I throw myself forward..
I'm not a conscienceless dragon slayer..
Cooung.
I felt dizzy from the impact of my tattered body falling to the floor, but I reached out and grabbed the sword..
Pachi Chit-!
A sword that emits heat as soon as it is touched, as if it has the owner's engraving on it..
The pain was bearable thanks to my pain tolerance..
However, I can clearly feel the numbness of my hands in real time..
Even if I hold it like this for a few more minutes, I feel like I might never be able to use my arms again..
‘……Did this guy continue to use the sword like this??’
I immediately erased any unnecessary questions that crossed my mind..
That's not what you need to think about now.
“Ino!!”
I endure it.
Even if you put your weight on the ground and sink your teeth into the floor.
So that the blade that will one day be pointed at me doesn't fall into that guy's hands again..
Don't let me harm my comrades.
Kakakak!
In an instant, the pulling force suddenly became stronger..
The body began to slip as if it had lost friction. At this speed, it wouldn't have been strange if the entire sword and the whole thing were sucked into the portal..
Nimiral, should I let go now??
It was just when those worries were slowly starting to dawn on me..
“Big, big, big!”
The guy vomited blood and his sense of resistance disappeared..
Yeah, you can't go any further than this..
“Bavaria…….”
Soon he called me and muttered briefly..
“Again, I'm going to go to the middle of the day..”
that we will meet again.
He spoke a line that a third-rate villain running away would say in a low tone that would make even Misha embarrassed..
There wasn't even a word about what to do after that..
but…….
Exciting-!
My heart vibrates at that one word.
“…….”
A skewer stuck in my shoulder.
The half-crushed jawbone.
Living to the point where my skin feels numb.
The guy's right arm, which has turned from red to black and is emitting steam, is telling..
If that day comes, there will be no luck like today..
It is conveyed to me more clearly than hundreds of curse words..
But so what?.
Wow.
member of orculis?
A 9th floor explorer with the nickname Dragon Slayer.?
There will be no such thing as a ‘Guardian of Balance’ next time.?
That's all I know..
Yeah, you can't beat him now.
If they try to do something, I'll have to struggle desperately like I did today..
but…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
I will survive.
'Cause that's what I do best.
Because that's what I've been doing so far.
Because this is something we must continue to do in the future..
I will stubbornly survive and become strong..
So someday, when there will be no need for luck.
“We will meet again, Yongin.”
i will go find him.
'Cause you're not the only one who lost something today.
***
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The portal that greedily opened swallowed up his body and disappeared. And at the same time, a warm light began to seep into my body..
Not just to me, but to all my colleagues.
‘……divine power?’
I looked blankly at my hands..
The wound was regenerating slowly but steadily..
Unlike the potion, there was no pain, only warmth..
Slurp.
Only then did I come to my senses and check behind me..
The priest's body was seen torn to pieces..
No, can we call that a body now?.
no arms or legs.
Dark red blood was flowing from the cut eyelids, and the nose was cut like a corpse on a battlefield..
Also, there are no things that should be inside the vertically cut abdomen..
“why…….”
I muttered without realizing it..
Why on earth did this old man give so much?.
For us who are strangers.
“letter… … . In your arms…….”
Then I heard a faint sound.
That was what the priest said..
I couldn't believe it, but I quickly walked over and searched through the robe..
A crumpled and worn letter appeared here and there..
“Leah, t…….”
“Don't worry, just relax. I will definitely deliver this letter to the Leatlas Church..”
“thanks…….”
Soon the priest closed his eyes..
There was blood everywhere, but his wrinkled face looked very clean and comfortable..
Watching this felt like I was dreaming..
How can you talk like this??
I couldn't help but ask.
If you miss now, you won't have a chance.
“……Why did you save us??”
Because it's the right thing to do?
Well, someone with this kind of will would have had a chance to be liberated a long time ago..
But why was it today?.
It couldn't have been just a coincidence, and I was very curious about the inside story..
“…….”
no answer came back.
Could it be that he's already dead??
As he stood up with that thought in mind, the priest's lips parted slightly..
“Magic…….”
The sentence was not complete.
But that was enough.
“I see, thanks for letting me know..”
I stood up without any regrets.
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but somehow I felt like the old man had already left this place..
“…….”
I paused and listened..
Awkwardly heterogeneous silence.
I chanted to myself as if enjoying the lingering silence..
‘You survived.’
survived.
Even the dwarf, Misha, and Rotmiller.
no one died.
but…….
‘I can't say I kept my promise like this..’
I smiled bitterly as I looked at my colleague's body across the aisle..
[Beat… … can you do it?]
[Don't worry. I will definitely save everyone and return home..]
I said that confidently, but.
He was the one who actually protected us..
What made it possible for all of us to survive.
It was like a miracle given by God, not even the word luck..
[Magic…….]
A wizard who fought until the very end..
Riole Warb Dwalkie.
This was the legacy he left us..
