Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 225
225reversal of anger (1)
Goblin Forest is brighter among the second floors..
Although it is dark, the stars that decorate the sky serve as a source of light to some extent..
Well, it's not like this, but it's still cancerous..
Whoa whoa!
Dozens of light spheres floating in the air illuminate the surrounding area as brightly as daylight..
It feels like watching a stadium at night with the lights on..
‘How much magic power do you have left??’
This alone makes me feel the difference in level so clearly that my heart tightens.…….
That's not what you're thinking about right now..
“Yandel, those guys…….”
“Annihilator and Corpse Collector. And I don't know about the other one.”
He stares straight ahead while briefly sharing information with the warriors who entered the portal behind him..
“Oh, I guess you came alone as expected.?”
The beast man, whose identity he had not yet guessed, chuckled..
The guy seemed in good spirits..
“Even if we split this between the three of us, we could make quite a bit of money.?”
His greedy gaze scans us..
I feel like I'm mob A in a shabby hunting ground..
Ha, I was hoping that congratulating them would just send them away alive..
“It's low level.”
An elderly wizard with white hair, the ‘Destructionist’ clicked his tongue as if he was displeased..
“why? Isn’t that why you decided to stay??’
The beastman asked, but the Annihilator did not answer as if he was annoyed..
Then the body collector joins in, laughing..
“Fishit, don’t you still know that old monster? I guess they just want to get back quickly, loot and all.?”
“Hmm, really? Then we'll just be two lowly people..”
“Ha, what do you mean? I think you left me to get some gear.?”
“……Then what is it?”
body collector.
No, the prisoner tilts his head at the clown’s words..
I also pretended not to listen and listened..
I thought that if I knew the motivations and goals of the individuals remaining here, the range of choices might increase..
Um, yeah, it was, but…….
“of course! Isn’t it because I thought it would be fun?!”
The clown shouted exaggeratedly like at a round table..
“Just a speck of hope can kill an explorer who barely made it through that difficult path and arrived here! Isn’t this the best??”
The Annihilator frowned again..
“What is that way you talk? As if suddenly acting.”
“Ah, you mean that? If you're lucky, you might know someone among them! Fishit.”
“Acquaintance……?”
“Tsk, there is such a thing. I've wanted to kill everyone for a long time, but wouldn't it be fun to just kill them? Isn't it fun to at least know who I am when I die?!”
“You're saying something completely incomprehensible. Take care of it. I'll take a rest.”
The destruction scholar looked like he had difficulty understanding, but I thought differently..
‘You crazy psycho bastard.’
He was hoping that if any of us were members of the Round Table, they would recognize him..
So I put on a mask and exposed myself..
In a way, it was a gesture that showed his resolve..
I won't let anyone live here.
“Hmm, but there are a lot more numbers than I thought.?”
Even though his colleagues were entering through the portal in real time, the prisoner who was chatting calmly stared at us with a questioning expression..
However, there was no sign of nervousness at all..
The royal family's core forces were left behind..
No matter how many of those guys there are, you're confident enough to deal with them..
‘rather good.’
I decided to think as positively as possible..
If they had decided from the beginning to fire as soon as they got to the second floor, the situation would have been much bleaker..
It's good when the enemy underestimates us.
therefore…….
“Fishit, I guess this is the end since you don't come anymore.?”
Whether it's arrogance or not arrogance.
We just have to use it..
“Still, it could have been a problem if there had been more, but it worked out well..”
“Fish, what's the problem?.”
High-ranking necromancer, also known as the One-Man Army.
The clown clicked and snapped his fingers..
Whoa whoa-!
A huge subspace opened in the air..
and…….
[Sooooo!]
An army of over hundreds of corpses poured out..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
I've been hoping for so long.
It's time to start the final battle.
***
An army of corpses is coming from the front..
Are they corpses collected with great effort or are they fully equipped with equipment?.
The feeling of intimidation is considerable..
but…….
“Hey, if we win this battle, we can go back, right??”
no one runs away.
At least around me.
“Hehe, I can finally fight properly..”
The already exhausted warriors smile and take out their weapons..
“Finally, I can be a bit more polite. I'm one level higher than you..”
1It's different in many ways from the time when we had to cut our way through the floors..
Various weapons such as swords, hammers, axes, maces, and maces emit bright light..
「Alexandro Bell cast [Fire Fury].」
「Ralph Kell casted [Whirlwind Blade].」
「Milton Teterud casted [Banner of Struggle].」
「Energy consumption during battle is greatly reduced..」
Skills that could not be used due to field effects.
“Wow!!”
“Let's go!!”
As if they had been waiting for this moment, the warriors rush towards the army of corpses, taking out their teeth without hesitation..
I also joined the ranks, using [Giantization]..
Yeah, we don't have stamina or MP.?
Kwaaaaang-!
The corpse army collides with the leader and an explosion is heard..
This is something that should have been followed in an explorer's battle..
[Ugh…….]
As soon as the corpse army's charge was stopped, support continued from the rear..
flying arrow.
Attack magic with various attributes.
And ranged ability.
Of course, they weren't just watching quietly either..
「Abed Necrapetto cast [Curse of Stone].」
During battle, his body turns into a stone statue..
「Abed Necrapetto cast [Corpse Explosion].」
A corpse modified for self-destruction bursts in and explodes..
Powwow-!
The power of the explosion is equivalent to level 6 fire magic..
It was not enough to instantly kill warriors who had become stronger and more agile using active skills..
but…….
Chii Iik.
As expected from the corpses handled by Dogneck, the bodies of those covered in blood melt instantly at close range..
“Ahhhh!!”
In the meantime.
“Hey Barbarian! you are the boss here?”
One of the three, a beastman, takes a big leap and lands in front of me..
It looked completely different from before..
Fierce fangs sticking out.
Fur covering the entire body and a blue mane.
[[Giant] The height and skeleton are comparable to mine..
The guy had transformed into a beast reminiscent of a lycanthrope..
‘For some reason, I didn’t have any equipment..’
I scanned the guy and did a quick analysis..
‘Is it a reinforcement system?.’
The beast's unique ability, 'Soul Beast'’.
It is presumed that this guy is of the same reinforced type as Missha. Transformation must have been among the powers acquired by raising and raising the level of the soul number..
‘Then what did Jeongsoo eat??’
I left behind the curiosity that would naturally arise and covered my face with a shield..
It was swinging its huge front paws..
Kwaang-!
A heavy shock that makes your bones shake.
‘My strength is higher than mine.’
It won't be an easy fight either—
Whoa whoa-!
At the moment when I was backing away from the struggle, a sword was swung..
Toward that wolf, not me.
“I'll take care of this guy, you step back.!”
It was Melter Pend, the leader of the Nartel Clan..
“You'll take it?”
“These are Kyle's instructions..”
If that's the case.
I obediently gave up my opponent to the guy and stepped back..
Isn’t there a saying that the right place is the right place?.
Melter Fend is the only level 3 explorer in our expedition. She has been stockpiling strength with her members for the battle on the second floor..
‘I heard you once served as an apprentice engineer..’
He'll be much better at fighting against each other than me..
[Yandel, can you hear me??]
The moment I turned around after leaving the wolf to Melter, I heard Kyle's voice coming from the message stone..
“I hear it.”
[I'm sorry. I'm late in contacting you because we had to split up our forces for a while..]
“Okay, sorry, just get to the point..”
[You just focus on leading your people against the Corpse Collector. Melter Fend and his colleagues decided to take care of the Blue Mane..]
“blue mane?”
[Oh, didn't you know? He made his name known during the Noark subjugation war. He was the heir of the Blue Lang clan, but he seems to have been hiding in Noark after committing a crime and running away..]
Well, it wasn't an Orculis member..
For some reason, there is no one that comes to mind as soon as I see it..
“I get it. I'm in charge of this side.”
[I feel reassured. Then I'll do everything I can to stop that old man..]
When you say old, you probably mean a doomsayer.?
Maybe the target of revenge Kyle was talking about was that old man..
“Okay, then I will believe you..”
I spoke as if ending the conversation and swung my mace at the corpses everywhere..
Then I heard a voice again.
[Oh, and one more thing.]
“……?”
[Your colleagues will arrive soon..]
“what?”
[…….]
no answer came back.
Kwasik-!
It was the moment when the corpse, whose head was protected by a shield, was crushed with the shield..
Suddenly-!
An adamantium sword was stuck in the temple of the corpse that was aiming at my side..
“From now on, we will help too.!!”
Einar.
and…….
“Bjorn!”
Missha.
Sister Geundil naturally stood on both sides of me and took a fighting stance..
This was the formation that Team Apple Narak usually used when fighting..
“I'm not going to force myself to fight alone this time either.?”
When I turned around, I saw Raven riding Mr. Bear's pet, Woongi..
‘No, wait a minute, Woong is here.…….’
As I checked nearby, I noticed that, as expected, Mr. Bear had also arrived..
“It's in the rear. Why are you all here?…….”
Even if the Geundil sisters are like that, why did these two come all the way here?.
It would be much safer in the back..
Mr. Bear answered, casting an arrow on a large crossbow..
“Because howling is not my specialty..”
Well, that's true too.
I don't think that's the real reason though.
‘When I go up to the 6th floor later, I have to feed it [when jumping] first..’
I swing my mace while thinking about the purified water I will later feed to Mr. Bear..
However, the body collapsed before I could reach it..
Grumbling!
An arrow of fire stuck between the eyes.
“mister!!”
Yes, you are here too..
I see that my older sister Daria is also next to me..
It seemed like he was just trying to protect himself with this guy, but then he suddenly changed his mind.?
I don't know, but it's not bad.
“Protect the leader!”
Melter Pend and his members have created their own territory within the battlefield and are hard at work beating down the wolves..
“These beggars……!”
Seeing the rave reviews coming in, it looks like they are making progress smoothly..
It still takes a while for the Annihilator to be quiet, but…….
‘Let's believe.’
If something happens, Kyle will take care of stopping it..
I just have to do my job..
thus…….
“…….”
Take a wide look ahead.
[It was not difficult to find the clown from a distance because he was in the [Giant] state..
He was sitting on a huge corpse monster, watching the battlefield..
As if it were a really enjoyable sight to see..
‘Well, there are degrees of looking down on people..’
Somehow I laughed.
Come to think of it, that dragon slayer had that look in his eyes when I first met him..
“Misha, Einar. From now on, we will pave the way.”
I broke through the army of corpses and advanced forward in earnest..
Target: Corpse Collector.
The goal is to break the guy's head off and see if there's anything wrong with his brain..
“Yandel! Yandel is up to something again.!”
“Could it be that they're targeting body collectors??”
“Follow the Great Warrior!!”
“Let's go!!”
Explorers began to gather around me..
