Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 212

212angry abandonment (1)

A man shouted in the silence.

“What do you mean, everyone can't go together??!”

A voice that clearly conveys anxiety that you might be left out of this shit party..

“Let me explain..”

Vice-captain Versil spoke calmly..

“Our explorer said that Noark explorers are encamped in all the passages leading to the dark area. So that you can't go out or go in..”

An incomparably larger number of troops are encamped in front of us..

Another man shouted at those words..

“……From now on, if you want to pave the way, you have no choice but to make sacrifices.!”

The true meaning of the saying that not everyone can go together.

I also had a similar interpretation to that guy..

but…….

“It might be similar in some ways..”

The moment I hear a recitation that somehow sounds bittersweet yet meaningful..

Exciting-!

My heart began to beat uneasily..

Vice-captain Versil continued speaking without wasting time..

Leave out the miscellaneous excuses and just conclude..

“I'm going to use multi-teleportation magic..”

mass teleport.

High-ranking special magic that can only be used by level 4 or higher wizards from certain schools..

Now I finally understand.

Why did everyone say we couldn't go together?.

“…….”

A deeper silence weighs on me than when I first heard those words..

“Rain, Bjorn? If you use teleportation magic, won't you be able to get over it without fighting? But why is everyone’s expression…….”

The reason is simple.

“……Multi-teleportation magic can only be used on a maximum of twenty people..”

As Raven, a current wizard, said,.

Mess teleportation is possible for up to 20 people, but currently we have a total of 35 people..

That means.

‘15number of people.’

Simply put, a total of 3 teams will be discarded..

In a situation where the safety zone in the center is just around the corner,.

“If you're going to throw it away at the end like this, why did you say we should join forces?!”

Someone shouted in anger.

However, Versil did not change his expression and only briefly apologized..

“I'm sorry about that. We didn't know it would happen like this.”

A voice that is soft but does not leave room for room.

I sighed quietly..

Persuasion is meaningless for this type..

No matter what I say here, she probably won't change her decision..

“So how are we going to select the 15 people who will be discarded??”

When I asked, Bersil looked at me with a strange expression..

It seems the barbarian was unusual in remaining calm even in this situation..

“We will draw lots for each team..”

“Everyone but your team?”

“no. Except one more team..”

Bersil said and looked to one side..

This was where the team fought and cleared the path right behind them throughout the journey..

“I'm sorry. I have a long relationship with Vice-Captain Bersil..”

The leader of the team expressed regret to us without showing any surprise, as if he already knew what was happening..

Yes, it was agreed upon in advance..

There is nothing strange. Because they are also a team from a large clan..

but…….

‘Nimiral.’

Suddenly a headache comes over me.

There are only two tickets left for teleportation..

On the other hand, there are 3 tickets for losers..

If you draw lots, there is a greater chance of being abandoned here..

But is it because I know that??

“take us with you.”

The expressions of the remaining team all changed..

very desperately.

“5 million per person... No, unload 10 million stones..”

someone offered money.

“We are a team under the Blue Wall Clan. If you take us with you, the Master will surely reward you greatly.…….”

Someone promised the future through power,.

“Well, we don't have a clan yet. They all happen to be women. Although it is currently operating on the 5th floor, it was originally located on the 6th floor. The Larrere Clan has recently lost strength and is recruiting clan members.…….”

Someone made themselves a tool of the trade..

No one willingly came forward to draw lots..

It was natural..

Because no one wants to leave their only life to chance..

“Yandel.”

Mr. Bear called me in a heavy voice..

I guess we have to do something too..

But I just watched.

The idea is that it is not too late to report on what decisions Versil Gowland makes..

“sorry. Anyway, I don't think it would be right to do it that way..”

“Well, that means……!”

“yes. The remaining people will be decided equally by drawing lots. Please, I hope you understand my decision..”

Bersil, who made an exception for only one team he had promised, stuck to the principle as he had originally said..

“Versil Gowland, vice-captain of the Larrere Clan. He's exactly what I heard..”

Raven recited as if admiring the nobility, but it was difficult for me to sympathize..

‘There just wasn't an attractive offer..’

If he were truly fair, he wouldn't have excluded that other team in the first place. Even more so when it is obvious what kind of situation the ones left behind will be in..

‘Anyway, I have to decide to draw.…….’

I don't know if it's a good thing.

You must have won at least once in something like this..

“Well then, since we're running out of time, let's get started right away..”

Afterwards, Versil was ready to draw lots by creating a bag containing five stones..

The rules are really brief..

Two white stones are a winner.

If you pick out three black stones, they will be discarded here without any reason..

“Which team will go first??”

“Do it with me first.”

The first team to step forward was a team that offered 10 million stone per person..

“My fate depends on a stone like that..”

A dwarf warrior wearing fancy gear nervously put his hands in his pockets..

and…….

“Hahaha... … . it's okay!!”

I succeeded in my first try.

The team with the dwarves burst into laughter, while the other team's faces darkened..

“come here. Then next time?”

In a situation of mixed joy and sorrow, no team stepped forward first..

Now there is only one winning ticket.

Three is a ticket to hell.

“Mr. Yandel, you have to wait. In terms of probability, if you draw now, there is a greater chance of drawing a white stone..”

winning 25%.

lose 75%.

But as always, the odds were meaningless..

“Huh, let's just do it first..”

While I was just watching, a team came forward..

It was an all-female team..

“Wow!!!!”

I pulled out the one remaining white stone..

“…….”

Shit.

***

“Then it's all over..”

The fate of all five teams was decided with just two draws. The other three teams didn't even have a chance to leave their fate to chance..

“Wow!!!”

What I did while that girl's team was picking out white stones?

I was wondering who to pick among the three: Misha, Einar, and Raven..

I really didn't know it would end in two.

‘Does this make sense??’

As soon as that thought occurred to him, Bersil flipped his pocket over and scattered three black stones on the floor..

As if to prove that there was no wrongdoing here..

“Then everyone gather together. I'll use the magic as soon as I'm ready..”

Those chosen by Bersil's words quickly gathered in one place..

It was then.

“Now, wait a minute.!”

One of the three teams that had their mentality in this situation..

The leader of Erwen's team, his chin, urgently approached them..

“Please take us with you too! Please, I'll do anything!”

a humble plea.

But she wasn't the kind of woman for that kind of thing..

“All the seats are already filled..”

Hearing Bersil's emotionless voice, the small chin turned to plead..

“If you give up your seat to me, it's 10 million stones! No, I will pay 20 million stones.!”

He said he would pay money to buy a seat.…….

Now that I see it, it's really ugly..

Seeing that there is no mention of any team members, does this mean that he wants to live alone?.

“…….”

At first, Daria, a member of the same team, frowned as if she were looking at a bug, but her chin did not stop talking..

As if talking from afar wasn't enough, I approached each person one by one and asked if they would like to make a deal, but they were all turned away..

“I really don't have one?”

Would that be possible if it were you?.

Money is not the problem; the moment you sell your position for money, you become separated from your colleagues..

“When we're done talking, can you please step aside??”

“…….”

As Versil muttered briefly, Jugeotchin weakly turned his back and returned to where his teammate was..

That's the end of the happening.

The wizard on Versil's side was drawing a magic circle on the floor to use scalpel teleportation..

“Bjorn…….”

“Talk later.”

I left Misha's call behind and spoke to the vice-captain..

“Versil Gowland.”

“yes. Please speak.”

A voice that is kind, but doesn't reveal any other emotions..

No sympathy or curiosity..

Well, maybe they thought I was going to be as sloppy as a chin..

I chuckled and asked one thing..

“When moving, why did you place us in the middle formation, which is the safest??”

Bersil tilted his head..

But aren't you curious as to why I'm asking this question?.

I just answered whatever I wanted..

“I drew lots. To be fair.”

Yeah, everything this guy said was nonsense..

I expected it, but the reason we were placed in the middle formation wasn't because of the spatula..

‘Okay, it's confirmed that he's a shy guy..’

Whether you like it or not, you will have to work with the three abandoned teams from now on. It becomes clearer how to deal with the jutting chin..

“The question is, is that the end??”

“no, one more thing.”

“Try it.”

“You said there were guys camped out in the passage, right? I'd like to hear that in more detail. What is the layout and how much power is there??”

“……Are you really planning to break through it among yourselves??”

So, did you think I would just die here??

“If you need.”

In the first place, I only came here briefly after meeting them, but that was my destination from the beginning..

So nothing will change.

“So the answer is?”

At my urging, Bersil paused for a moment and stared at me..

“……He really is as good as the rumors say. great. xenia?”

“yes. Vice leader.”

“Go ahead and tell me everything you want to know.”

“yes.”

Afterwards, Versil sent an explorer from her team to me, and I received general information about the surroundings from the woman..

And about 5 minutes passed??

“Xenia, come here..”

All preparations for using magic were completed, and Vice-Captain Versil left with just one word as he looked at us..

“Please don't hold any grudges..”

This meant that from now on we would have to get through it on our own..

Well, it's nothing new..

***

“……You really went.”

With more than half of the staff gone, the empty space feels even bigger..

But the more I did it, the more I focused on one thing..

what should i do now?

Well, I don't think you're wasting your precious time brooding over your empty feelings..

“Mr. Yandel, what are you going to do now??”

“Think for a moment.”

There are two options.

Either go through the route that Versil gave up and head to the center, the original destination..

Or turn around and look somewhere else.

The latter wasn't a bad option either..

‘I can survive as long as I stay on the outskirts..’

War is raging in the center..

In the outermost part, Noark's strongest people are blocking the road..

On the other hand, there will be relatively few people in the outskirts..

The area is large, so if you avoid and hide well, you will be able to survive..

but…….

‘I don't know how things are going.’

This is the biggest drawback.

This confusing situation where every minute and second flows differently..

If you stay hidden, you can't get information about how things will progress..

furthermore…….

‘3When the first day comes, a hierarchical monarch appears..’

1We can't defeat the layer lords on our own..

If you are summoned from among the dead, you will definitely be annihilated..

“I need to check the power first..”

“yes?”

“Would you all like to gather together??”

I first withheld judgment and brought together two other teams who were in the same situation..

And immediately got to the point..

“Take turns telling each person their explorer level, essence consumed, and special skills..”

“Cut out all the bottom line?”

“In the meantime, does it matter? Shouldn't we work together to make this happen?.”

“You talk like you're the boss.”

He frowned at my suggestion..

Although not as much as he did, not everyone was happy that I spoke like a natural leader..

Oh, it's annoying.

“Does it matter who the leader is? Even in this situation, I'm going to look at you as an asshole for even worrying about such things..”

“……What, what? What are you doing now?—”

“If you really want it, decide on a leader first. Well, can I at least vote??”

I naturally led the topic to voting..

That's because Erwen is here..

I decided that if another team member casts a vote for me, I would never be able to lose the vote..

However, the situation took a slightly unexpected turn..

“I don't think there's any need to vote..”

“……?”

“If you vote, my team will vote for you.”

Those were the words of the man who was the leader of the remaining team..

“Then, that team already has 10 votes combined, so there's no need to waste time..”

Well, it goes like this?

To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed..

However, this was also true for the jutting chin, so he strangely asked me the reason first instead of me..

“……What does that mean? You want to make a barbarian your leader? Am I sane??”

“First of all, I'm not good at leading anyone..”

“Then of course it's not the barbarian, but me—”

“If I had to choose between the two, I think this one is much more reliable..”

I think I know roughly what you’re thinking..

I guess they thought I was better than the one who abandoned the team and tried to live alone..

From what I heard, there must have been another reason..

“Above all, this man was the only one who asked the woman for information when everyone else was denying reality..”

……This is kind of embarrassing.

“name is?”

“I'm Takelan Arbenon..”

“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel..”

After making a formal statement with Takelan, I returned to the original topic..

“Anyway, then the decision has been made. Now, one by one, take turns telling the explorer level, essence consumed, and specialty. Only then can you decide what to do next.—”

“Wait a minute, who made the decision anyway??”

Ha, this bastard keeps.

“Do you have any complaints??”

“Of course—”

“Then go away. We just need to move together as a team..”

Not wanting to waste any more time, I cut him off and spoke firmly..

“……Shit.”

He just clenched his fists as if he was angry and didn't leave our side..

Well, where can he go during this?.

I laughed and said to him.

“If you interrupt me or disobey my instructions one more time, it will be over. Do you understand??”

“…….”

“answer me.”

“……I understand.”

Okay, then the ranking is over..

After that, I quickly finished what I originally wanted to do..

Who is in what position and what essence does it have?.

‘Hmm, it's a little ambiguous..’

I checked the approximate power, but my concerns deepened..

Should I say I'm not sure yet??

So I went through additional verification process.

“First of all, let’s just say each other’s names. Shouldn’t you be able to call in an emergency?.”

I listened to each and every name, giving reasons..

Honestly, it would be difficult to remember everything…….

‘Still no Hans.’

Luckily Hans wasn't there..

It was a fairly positive indicator..

This means that whatever decision you make in the future, the likelihood has increased slightly..

“What should I do now??”

14 people's eyes focused on Raven's question..

It's time to make a decision.

I opened my mouth, erasing any doubts about my choice..

“We head to the safe zone.”

“What do you think the chances are??”

Takelan's question was answered with a rotten smile..

I was able to see just how meaningless possibility is, but…….

One thing was certain.

Not all successful people will survive.

‘I'm about to die halfway.’

We have to risk our lives to get to a place that some people could easily fall for with a single magic trick..
