Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 210
210angry leader (3)
Thick bones covering the entire body in an instant.
「Abed Necrapeto casted [Bone Armor].」
The man smiled and stared straight ahead..
The fire that had spread to the bones was extinguished quickly, but the remaining flames in the passage became a wall blocking the path..
“Hmm, I didn't know you'd run away.”
Should I follow you??
The man, who was pondering as he looked beyond the burning flames, soon decided to quit..
how to make someone angry.
I wasn't curious about the second one, but…….
[……Captain, this is the corpse of the knight..]
[As expected, their hand was written here as well. Everyone, be on guard from now on. There must be an enemy nearby.]
2Explorers appeared just in time from another passage connected to the floor portal..
The number is about 20 people.
It appears to be a small clan as they have the same symbol on their jackets.…….
“Tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and walked away..
His mission in this mission is to stop anyone escaping through the second floor portal..
Originally, it was a mission that was supposed to be undertaken by a dragon slayer..
“Anyway, that snake-eyed bastard is no help. help.”
Perhaps, if he had recovered in time, he would have been able to focus on his specialty, mass murder, in the center as planned..
“Well, the guy who ran away will take care of it over there..”
After all, there is no reason to chase and kill the person who splattered..
Just thinking about it is already annoying.
It's just me and I just do my job..
With that in mind, I was moving towards the second floor portal..
Jiyiing.
The message stone vibrated in my pocket..
[Necrapetto, what’s the situation there? Did you arrive at the target point??]
“Oh, vice-captain! Do not worry. We arrived a long time ago, and now we have blocked the situation so that not a single rat can escape. fish sit!”
I spoke confidently, but the answer came back after a long gap..
Strictly speaking, it wasn't even an answer..
[……What is that tone of voice? What is that strange laughing sound??]
“strange laughter?”
The man tilted his head at first, but soon realized the meaning of what he said and grinned..
“Oh, it's just a habit, don't worry about the vice-captain..”
[Habit?]
“Uh, the habit that comes out whenever you wear a mask..”
[……I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, if anything goes wrong, contact me immediately..]
After this, contact was lost..
The man tapped the skull mask he was given as a supply with his index finger..
Suddenly, the members of the round table came to mind..
‘First of all, foxes and goblins would have definitely come in..’
How many people will survive and attend the next meeting??
I'm already looking forward to it..
***
I'm running with all my might.
I was worried that he might come after me..
“Heo, heo, heo.’
It had been more than 10 minutes since I ran down the aisle like that..
“Did I get bullied?…….”
Mr. Bear muttered..
I felt uneasy at first because it was a flag-like line, but I didn't say anything..
Because I had similar thoughts.
‘It's not exactly that I was bullied, but it would be correct to say that he didn't chase me..’
Whatever it is, it's clear that I took a breather.
“Slow down from now on.”
“……No more running away?”
“He's not the only one you need to be careful of.”
The place I am currently in is a crystal cave shrouded in fog..
If you speed up too much, it becomes difficult to respond in time to unexpected dangers..
It is safe to say that the entire first floor is already a minefield.—
“Bjorn, wasn't it right to fight??”
huh?
“What does that mean, Einar??”
“A corpse collector. It was an opportunity to make your name known more widely! But you took that opportunity and ran away?!”
Yeah, somehow he stayed quiet the whole time..
This is what I didn't like.
He tends to look up to me like I'm some ancient hero barbarian..
What are your chances of fame?.
‘I'm just glad that no one got hurt..’
A necromancer's true value is revealed from the time he takes a corpse out of subspace..
Additionally, the Corpse Collector also has the number item that made its reputation..
A signature similar to the dragon slayer's dragon slayer sword..
If he had brought that out, I'm sure several of us would have been killed or seriously injured..
but…….
“Einar, don’t be pushy..”
Einar flinched when Misha made a cold remark without my having to step forward..
“I am OK… … ! Still, I can understand because I’m an adult. But man, what do you tell these young warriors?……!”
Ah, now I see that was the real problem..
Einar goes to the Holy Land and talks about the expeditions he went on with me every time..
I was embarrassed because it almost seemed like a deification, but I thought it would increase support within the tribe, so I left it alone for now..
“Isn’t it okay to just roughly look around?.”
“that! Warriors don't lie!”
“Write it! I want to keep talking back?!”
When Misha strongly criticized Einar, he kept his mouth shut..
My slumped shoulders somehow broke my heart..
It is said that the charm of a barbarian is that it is always confident..
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth..
“Einar, we are not running away now..”
“huh?”
“He ran away when he saw us..”
Common Barbarian Spirit Victory.
“Well, what does that mean? Don't make fun of me... … . I'm not that thoughtless either.!”
Well, I didn't know that.
I spoke again with a straight face..
“I'm not kidding. Einar, a wise warrior must know how to choose where to fight. We rushed back to gain an advantageous position on the battlefield, but he realized that and ran away..”
Einar frowned as if in agony, then cautiously asked:.
“that is… Really??”
I was worried, but fortunately it seems to have worked out well. After nodding her head firmly, Einar became bright again as usual..
“Mr. Yandel…….”
“Well, do you have anything to say??”
“no. just… I think leaders should be people like this..”
Raven gives a strange look and shakes her head..
I think I was quite impressed by the way I comforted Einar, who was in despair..
“Then keep moving.”
The small talk ended at this point and I proceeded carefully through the passage, being cautious in all directions..
The destination is the center of the first floor.
The place where I thought bloodshed would be blowing right about now..
“Wouldn't it be better to go through the other portal??”
“It won't be much different anyway..”
2I gave up the option of heading to the next floor..
Wasn't there a corpse collector standing there on the road to the goblin forest?.
‘Probably trying to block the portal..’
If it goes as I expected, there is a high possibility that a similarly strong player is waiting in the other portal..
“In that case, follow your judgment. Yandel, you have a good feel for these things..”
How much time has passed since we moved forward through the fog?.
Clap, clap, clap..
About 10 people appeared from the front..
By the time we sensed each other, we were already within sight of each other..
Fortunately, it didn't seem to be an enemy..
“……knight.”
Not only are all of them wearing knightly armor, but each piece of armor also has the emblem of the family it belongs to..
Well, this isn't something you can't do if you want to disguise it.…….
“Explorer, raise your wrist so you can see the dog tag..”
Looking at that arrogant way of speaking, it seems like the original..
Therefore, as instructed, I showed the identification tag on my wrist and asked..
“Is the dog tag meaningful??”
The information I was most curious about.
The knight answered briefly..
“To some extent.”
“I'd like to hear more details..”
“There was someone who carried out a surprise attack with our dog tags. Thanks to you, we also suffered quite a bit..”
“Right.”
“If your curiosity is satisfied, lower your weapon and stick to the wall. until we pass by.”
Afterwards, the driver spoke in an overbearing manner, and I obediently followed his instructions..
The atmosphere was really scary..
No wonder how many battles had been fought to get here, all the knights were drenched in blood..
Still, I have more questions to ask..
“Can you tell me exactly what the situation is now??”
“……That's a suspicious question..”
“As soon as we started, we ran straight to the second floor. There is no information inside.”
“Hmm.”
The knight stops walking and stares at me..
A look that seems to determine whether my words are true..
It was a car where I started to wonder if I had asked for no reason because of those reluctant eyes..
“hello. I am Arua Raven, a wizard belonging to the Artemion School..”
Raven stepped forward, revealing her identity..
“If our identity is in doubt, we can use magic to prove it.—”
“Stop, don't come any closer. If you don't want to die.”
“No, I—”
“Do you think there will be no wizards in Noark??”
Raven couldn't say anything and kept her mouth shut at the knight's murderous voice..
“…….”
“…….”
Before I knew it, a heavy silence had begun to fill the hall..
“Sir Garfizel, there is no way they are from Noark's side, so you don't have to worry about that..”
The situation turned around when the knight in the back row joined in..
“How do you guarantee that?”
“He's a pretty famous explorer..”
“Hmm, interest?”
The driver who appeared to be the leader looked at me and tilted his head, and I did the same..
“……know me?”
“Everyone knows.”
The knight who received my question raised the front of his helmet upward..
Then a face from my memory appeared..
So, the name is…….
“Carl's Erimore?”
“It's an honor to remember you. It's been a while”
Carl's Erimore.
This is an article by Baron Martoin, whom I met at the count's house..
Even though it was an apprenticeship, anyway.
Since he was an unusual explorer, he suited me quite well..
Anyway, I never thought I'd see him here again..
“So who is this person??”
“His name is Bjorn Jandel, and in the city he is more famous as Little Balkan..”
As my identity was proven through my relationship with Carls, the driver's eyes on me also changed..
“It's a small Balkan... … . I also heard it in passing. In social circles, they call it a funny name: article crusher.?”
His gaze was far from friendly..
However, since the suspicion that it is an enemy has disappeared, it can be said that it is much better than before..
“So, can you now hear how it goes??”
The article briefly explained the situation..
As soon as they entered the labyrinth, Noark explorers attacked from here and there..
Among them, the one with the dog tag was hiding and the initial damage was considerable..
After the fog appeared, they gathered in the dark area in the center to protect explorers and reorganize their battle lines..
“By the dark area in the center, do you mean the area where the monument is located??”
“Yes, go there. If we can get there, we'll be safe..”
Good news to hear.
I caught the guy who was about to leave and asked carefully..
“Are you going to the portal by any chance??”
“……why are you curious about that?”
Well, that’s harsh..
“Because that's where we come from..”
“Interesting.”
I told the interested driver what I knew..
Well, can’t we say that we are on the same side?.
I can't let you die.
“There is a corpse collector near the portal. So, if you see a corpse in the passageway, be alert. Does that mean he found you too?.”
Surprisingly, the driver listened to me and nodded without question..
“In times of war, every piece of information is valuable. Corpse collector... … . thank you for telling me.”
Surprisingly, the driver even said thank you and handed me a ring..
“If the driver suspects you, show him this and tell him my story. Then your identity will be guaranteed..”
“……Use this well.”
“Well then, I don't have time..”
As soon as the ring was handed to him, the knight led the group and disappeared beyond the fog..
The sight didn't seem as obnoxious as before..
Now that I see him, he was a guy who knew his way..
‘Looks like the size adjustment magic isn't installed..’
After trying to put the ring on my little finger, I gave up and gave it to Misha..
“to? me? Let me join in?”
“It doesn't fit my hand.”
“……Well, then there is nothing I can do about it.?”
Soon, Missha modestly extends her left hand to me..
what? Are you asking me to put it in??
“Hehehe…….”
I turned my hand over so the back of my hand was facing down and placed the ring on it..
“You wear it.”
“Hey, it's embarrassing.”
……what.
***
After meeting the knights, we picked up the pace a little more. As we moved away from the outskirts and approached the center, the smell of blood became stronger..
“Here too…….”
“Stop looking and keep moving..”
Wherever you go, you see a corpse every few minutes..
Everyone was naked..
Even during this time, you are taking everything you need with you..
Well, since we are both in general, there is nothing to say..
“Yandel! It's a surprise attack!!”
There was quite a bit of fighting on the way here..
I think this will be the ninth time.?
Once, when I turned around after checking the dog tags, they attacked me unexpectedly, and the rest took out their weapons and attacked me as soon as they encountered me..
Most of them were level 5 like us, but…….
No major problems so far.
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
On average, we're pretty strong..
It has gradually grown to the point where it can reach the 6th floor, and since it does not have a professional searcher, its combat power is also high..
“Bjorn, what are you going to do with the two who ran away??”
“Leave it alone. I don't have time for that, so I'll just quickly gather my equipment and move again..”
As the distance to travel increases, equipment accumulates in subspace..
I feel like I've entered a dungeon with an infinite PK concept..
‘1I didn't expect to feel this excitement on the floor..’
Anxiety gradually increases..
So far, things are going smoothly, but how long will this last??
“Bjorn…….”
“Don't worry. 'Cause we're almost there now.”
He did not show any signs of anxiety and continued to lead the team..
And how long has it passed??
“stop.”
At a crossroads divided into several forks, we encountered a group of unfamiliar explorers..
The number is around thirty..
They seemed to be resting after an arduous battle, but as soon as they saw us, they became alert and took out their weapons..
Exciting-!
My heart was beating like crazy..
If these guys are from Noark, then we're screwed.—
“uh… … ! Ah, man?!!”
Then I heard a familiar voice..
