Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 187
187Hwa Temper (2)
shadow altar.
In this chapter, the doppelganger acts strictly for two goals:.
Making the expedition waste the Stone of Truth.
If that doesn't work, continue to cause trouble so that the number of expedition members decreases..
In that sense, there was one prime suspect..
[which city are you from?]
Kyleman Parthean.
The wizard of the HansG team who threw away half of the expedition with just one word..
At first, I thought I had accidentally stepped on a land mine..
The wizard team, including Hans G, seemed unaware that the group of dwarves were from Noark..
but…….
[Dwarf, are you a doppelganger??]
I attacked the dwarf group tenaciously..
Where did you get the equipment in your backpack?.
The guy was made to look suspicious by asking numerous questions he couldn't answer, such as what exactly the official said when receiving the dog tag..
but. At that time, I couldn't even think of one thing..
To the doppelganger, what did the dwarf look like struggling with that easy question??
‘It must have looked strange. After that, you probably wondered why.’
The body of a smart wizard who entered after a long time.
The doppelganger would have arrived at the truth about Noark through the questions the dwarf could not answer..
Maybe I was greedy too.
Not only was there an item suitable for the host body at the right time,…….
If you use it well, it becomes easy to hide your identity..
[Oh, he passed away.]
Doppelganger cubs know how to pretend to be dead..
I got beat up a few times in the game too..
If it wasn't guaranteed to kill him instantly, this damn thing would go into hibernation and stay alive, toying with the player..
Just like this.
“Wow!—!!”
A doppelganger who has a seizure as soon as the potion is poured on him..
If I hadn't known this factor, I would have had no choice but to use the Stone of Truth on Raven even after killing all the remaining candidates..
“It's a doppelganger!!!”
Raven, who was finally cleared of her name, cried out in a happier voice than ever, and the doppelganger screamed but denied it for now..
“Oh no! hey! I am! Hehehehe!!”
How funny are you looking at people??
It's absurd, but it would also be funny to argue with a monster..
I just held my head and walked to the altar..
As the altar got closer, the struggle became more severe..
“how……!!”
The guy who finally gave up making excuses and started asking questions..
I chuckled..
In fact, there was another decisive reason..
‘Should you at least act properly?.’
The wizard's greatest weakness is close combat..
However, the guy avoided the dwarf's ax that was about to split his head and caught it with his shoulder..
This couldn't have happened unless the surprise attack was predicted..
It's also funny that he died instantly after being hit by it in the first place..
I don't know if he died from excessive bleeding, but he stopped breathing before the Indian woman even gave him the potion.?
「We succeeded in discovering the usurper inhabiting the body of an expedition member..」
As soon as the doppelganger's head was smashed into the altar, pure white light began to flow out..
A forest that vibrates as if there was an earthquake at the same time.
“Hehehehe-!!”
Something in the form of a shadow was pulled out from the top of the head, making a terrible roar and shooting through the trees..
and…….
“uh! run away!!”
disappeared in one direction.
There was no need to panic.
This means that the third chapter has already ended..
「There is only 1 Truth Stone used..」
「Seal release rate 10%.」
「Hurry to pursue and kill the usurper before he regains his sealed power..」
Now it's time to go to the final boss battle.
“Bjorn, let’s follow him quickly.!!”
“Stop. I have something to do before that..”
First, I calmed down Einar and checked Partheian's physical condition..
Oh, of course it's not me, it's Raven.
“How about it??”
“The injury is somewhat healed, so I'm sure he'll come to his senses soon.?”
“Right.”
As soon as I called, Raven rushed over and looked at Partheian, and then she became limp..
It seems like the mentality that ran away from home has returned and strength has been relaxed..
“Whoa…….”
Sister Geundil and Mr. Bear approached with embarrassed faces and each muttered a word..
“Wow, this person was really a doppelganger.…….”
“So, as I said. I said no!”
“Hmm, but a wizard is a wizard, right? Can you think of the possibility of someone alive in that situation?.”
“Ha, really, what if it's not me?…….”
“Aruru! know? i was trusting you!”
“What to believe... … No, rather, where on earth did Aruru come from??”
“What?! Could it be that you don’t like Aruru??”
Einar looks discouraged, as if hurt..
Of course, that wasn't the Raven that would work..
“So would you like it? Arua Raven! Please call me straight, whether it’s your last name or your first name. I just hate this kind of thing—”
“I wanted to call you by this name, but it was difficult to pronounce.…….”
As Einar lowered her head, Raven, who had been irritated, kept her mouth shut..
And I asked carefully.
“What do you mean, you want to call me by my name??”
“You're human and a wizard, but you're a precious comrade..”
Like a barbarian, Einar spits out embarrassing words without even changing his expression..
“Ha, that's really his pronunciation…….”
Raven sighed as if she was not praying, then turned her head away..
“That's Okay. Call it yourself.”
“Is that really true?!!”
“yes. Anyway, they are called the same thing in the school, so it's strange to get angry for no reason.?”
“thanks! Aruru!”
A heartwarming sight where friendship between colleagues becomes stronger after overcoming adversity..
Looking at this, I thought.
Hey, even though it doesn't seem like it, you're weak in this area..
‘I should use it later when I do something wrong..’
After making a note in my head, after a short conversation, I had some maintenance time..
There's a lot to do before the boss battle..
“Both of you, stop being like that and come here..”
First, I called in the Indian woman and the blunt warrior who had regained consciousness..
“You must have heard about the situation?”
“……exactly.”
His eyes are blank, probably because he was so shocked that Hans G and the fairy archer were evil spirits..
“Come to your senses. It's not too late to survive and do what's left.”
“What can I do??”
“Start by telling me what you can do.”
I first checked the combat power of the blunt warrior..
What essence did you drink, what type of battle is possible, etc..
Originally, this was personal information that would never have been shared with outsiders, but given the situation, the blunt warrior cooperated with me in a very low-key manner..
“I see, then you?”
“Well, I won't be of any help in combat other than finding my way around. sorry.”
6One ranked warrior and one unranked guide.
“Still, Partheian will be of great help to you. He's a level 5 wizard..”
“what? level 5?”
“exactly. Although it is specialized for something other than attack magic. You are the person who usually plays the most important role in the team. It would be best to hear the details when you wake up..”
I was truly surprised..
That's because Raven is still a level 6 wizard..
How on earth did bastard Hans convince him to take such a high-class talent with him??
‘So, you have to capture a total of seven guardians, including level 5 wizards.…….’
The picture doesn't come out right yet..
There isn't enough paint to draw what I want..
So while Partheian regained consciousness, he searched through the loot left behind by the dwarven remnants..
“Make sure to check everything. If there's anything that catches my eye, I'll have Raven check it out. If there's anything I can use, I have to use it all..”
Hans G, fairy archer, beast swordsman, dwarf, magician, priest of Karui.
The archer offered to the altar will be transformed into a spirit state, so you can only place it after clearing the rift, so pass..
“Arurung! How about this??”
“I feel the magic. But it can't read magic, so it's probably not a magic tool... … . There is a high possibility that it is a number item..”
“Oh oh! These shoes! It's perfect for me!”
“These boots are made from half-troll leather. There is also an ‘acceleration’ enchantment. It's expensive, so wear it carefully. I have to add it when I settle the account later..”
As each of them had become mid-level explorers, useful things came out every time they opened each bag..
I feel like I've opened some kind of treasure trove.
“Raven, can you check this too? I know it's made of lithium, but why did they make a necklace out of it??”
“It's because of magic conductivity. Even if you give the same magic, the efficiency will be different. So let's see, this necklace is…….”
Raven judged the value of various items with incredible speed, as if she had found her aptitude..
But even so, it took more time than expected, and before I knew it, Partheian also woke up..
“Uh, uh…….”
A middle-aged wizard who is confused as he sees the corpses of his colleagues and a forest full of various equipment..
A warrior with a blunt weapon was sent to provide explanations..
“A doppelganger came into my body??”
“Noark… … . Yeah, I thought it was suspicious that the bag was full of unused equipment. If you're from there, it's understandable..”
“Chrisen and Meirin are evil spirits.……?”
As the explanation continues, the wizard's complexion becomes pale. But perhaps it was the temperament of a wizard, even in that situation, he came up to me and thanked me..
“Thank you. If it weren't for you, something really terrible would have happened..”
“If you're grateful, go and help Raven. Because this is not the time to relax.”
“I guess so.”
After Parthean joined, the speed increased significantly..
Surprisingly, it's because he was an expert in this kind of thing..
“……Emotional magic? He was from the Narmant school.?”
“Come to think of it, we didn't even introduce ourselves to each other. That's right.”
“My name is Arua Raven and I belong to the Artemion School..”
“Haha, I know. There's only one place that has such cool patterns engraved on robes..”
“Because the master is a bit of a leader.…….”
A wizard of the Narmand school capable of special emotions..
With the addition of Partheian, it became possible to classify not only number items but also items that were not clearly identified..
How long has it been like that?.
“It looks like everything useful has come out, so let's stop now and gather everyone..”
After completing the classification work, we gathered in one place and began a temporary settlement..
“I'll tell you in advance, I'll write down everything I've brought and pay for it later. If you want to keep using it, you have to pay for it then. Do you understand??”
“i get it!”
“Then Einar, come here..”
I looked at the organized list and handed over the acquired items to each person..
There is only one criterion for judgment.
The question was who used it with the greatest efficiency..
“Take off your shoes and give them to Misha..”
“Well, that can’t be possible! It won't fit your feet anyway.!!”
“Don't worry. I confirmed that the size control magic was given..”
It's not that there was no criticism in the decision, which may be somewhat arbitrary, but the leader's authority is meant to be used in times like these..
“Einar.”
“i get it. Can't you give it to me?…….”
Led by Einar, the rest of the colleagues also brought useful equipment..
From as few as one to as many as four or five.
How much will it cost to sell it all??
After fighting an explorer, I always feel it deep in my heart..
Why is everyone looting so much?.
“That's it then.”
The remaining loot was divided and stored in Raven and I's subspace..
It wasn't just for safety reasons..
It should have been so much.
Grinning.
I can't stop smiling when I look at my newly added equipment..
Is this really Hans' law of reaction??
「The character is no. 2988 I wore the symbol of the Guardian Corps..」
「Overall item level increases by +1,485.」
「The character is no. Equipped with 8667 Outlaw of the Wild.」
「Overall item level increases by +315.」
「The character is wearing Ideal gaiters..」
「Overall item level increases by +400.」
Doppelgänger bastard, I really lost my mind.
