Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 253
253Tue Open World (2)
A fierce fire rising around the magic shield..
screams and screams.
The Lament of the Lost.
Nebarce Greenhop thought as he blankly took in all of that with his eyes..
‘why… Where did it go wrong??’
There was nothing more to see.
It all started with the dragon slayer Regal Vagos..
Despite Noark's dissuasion, he kidnapped the high priest and treated him like a slave, and eventually his evil deeds were revealed to the world and he was the one who pulled the sword on the royal family..
but…….
‘……Is it me.’
Nebarce accepted the blame without assigning any blame..
What's the point if you turn to the past to avoid today?.
In the end, even the former castle lord of Noark, who accepted Orculis, will have to be held accountable..
therefore…….
“What do you think, is it what you wanted??”
Let's accept it.
The fact that it was I who created this result today.
“Closely.”
Nevarche walked without stopping to avoid falling behind and going outside the magic field. In front of him was an old man using floating magic as comfortably as breathing..
‘Velbeve Ruingenes.’
An old man who was given the nickname ‘Destructionist’ in his later years..
A wizard who has longed for learning all his life, and a being who has driven countless people to destruction with his precious knowledge..
It was none other than myself who went to see Amelia out of frustration after hearing that there was nothing we could do..
Because I had a firm belief back then..
‘representation.’
The royal family is wrong..
We must destroy their power and open a new world where the above and below ground become one..
it's the right thing to do.
For sure… … should have been.
“Hot, hot…….”
“Please, save me. Any amount of money…….”
Life burns alive and collapses..
Each time that happened, the belief that made him who he is today also slowly crumbled..
Is this really the right thing to do?.
To trample on those who do not even have the power to protect themselves for the greater good..
Is this truly the path to a new world?.
“stop…….”
Nevarche finally couldn't hold back and opened his mouth..
Only then did the old man stop walking and look back..
With the expression of someone who heard something strange.
“Stop? I also came here because I didn't want the balance of power to be disrupted, but wasn't it you who asked for help first? If we stop now, the army headed to Noark will never return..”
right.
but…….
“But I didn't want this..”
“okay? Then what did you hope for??”
I was speechless..
‘What did I expect as I visited the evildoer of our time, the so-called 'destruction scholar'?.
“This is a golden opportunity that will never happen again. Even I didn't expect him to show up. I don't know what's going on. As long as he attracts attention in the palace, we will be in no danger..”
“Do you know who says this because they value my life! I just… … only……!”
Nevarche was speechless until the end..
Then the old man coldly turned his back and started walking forward, as if this was a waste of time..
“It looks a little difficult.”
Even at that moment, hundreds of flames from his hands were flying indiscriminately with the sole purpose of destruction, staining the city red..
“Let go of your emotions and only think about your goals..”
“…….”
“Isn't it better than losing both?.”
Very calculating words like a wizard.
Wow-!
Soon, the magic field moved away following the old man's steps, and hot heat was transmitted through the skin..
Nevarche inadvertently took a halting step..
Those steps were filled with only doubts..
“Uh, mom… I can't breathe, ah, I can't breathe…….”
“It's okay, baby... … . Her mom will be by her side. to the end.”
What is at the end of this road?.
***
It's raining at night.
This is what the magicians of the Magic Tower did..
Wow-!
The security guards who came from all over the city to provide support are not resting either..
A long line stretched from the well.
They are constantly passing buckets and throwing them towards the fire..
No, is it just the security?.
“If you're having a hard time, don't give up and come out! Even if you try to do it for no reason, you'll only end up in trouble!”
Among them are explorers who lived nearby, and there are also citizens who rolled up their sleeves and said they would be of some help after hearing the news..
People gathered to overcome the disaster ahead of them.
“Oh my, if this continues, it's going to burn all the way to my house.!”
“Hey bro! Is that what you want to do now? Some people have family there now.!”
“If you both have the strength to fight, carry the bucket.!”
Of course, not everyone contributed with noble hearts..
The same goes for me as I stand here now..
‘Raven.’
When I arrived at Karnon, the sight before me was overwhelming..
A fire on a scale completely different from that of several factories burned down in modern times..
Is Raven really holding up well?.
No, maybe…….
‘maybe what is.’
Wake up by hitting the chin with your fist..
Powok!
How to have a healthy mind in a battered body.
There is no time to worry or worry..
First of all, isn’t Raven a wizard?.
If it were his personality, he would be doing well by now, taking care of the people around him. Yes, you might be lucky enough to stop by the magic tower and avoid this situation..
“there, wizard.”
I approached the wizard who was extinguishing the fire and revealed my identity. Even though I spoke to him while he was busy, his gaze was friendly..
“There you are, a wizard. It's been a long time since I've been called that way. Chuckle!”
I guess my image was good regardless of my noble title..
“So what's up with that wizard, Bjorn Yandel??”
“Can you use cold-blooded magic??”
“There are wizards who can't use that.?”
The wizard laughed at my request and cast a spell..
「The character's fire resistance increases significantly..」
Phew, it's a little less hot now.
“I'm thinking of going in there.?”
“I have a friend inside.”
The wizard who cast the spell on me nodded, ‘I see,’ and chuckled..
“But then that's all it will be like.?”
huh? what? Are you laughing at me now??
At first, that thought occurred to me, but I became quite embarrassed by the situation that followed..
click.
The wizard took out the message stone..
and…….
“Oh, can you all hear? I'm sorry I'm busy, but I'd like to ask you a favor. The man everyone knows is Bjorn Yandel, and he wants to go into the flames to save his comrades..”
I contacted someone and asked for a favor..
“If you have any artifacts or drugs that help with fire resistance, please send them to the designated coordinates of my personal laboratory. I will summon you here on my own..”
Well, is it like a group chat room between wizards??
It was unexpected luck for me, so I just shut up and waited..
Before long, replies came one by one..
[If it's Bjorn Yandel, he's also received a noble title, so there shouldn't be a problem with his credibility. But still, if any damage occurs, I will charge you, so please know..]
The voice of a strict-looking old man.
[great. Most of my disciples are not there as they have volunteered for Karnon, but I will send everything I am asking about to the remaining disciples..]
young woman's voice.
[Thanks to him, my favorite student came back alive this time. Tell them I'm sending you a scroll, but you don't have to pay for it..]
A man's voice that sounds somewhat benevolent.
[Since it's Bjorn Yandel, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this opportunity to clear some debt. If you are not listening to the conversation from the side, please speak for me. Please remember that it was we, the 'Ioni' school, who sent us the 'Fire Dragon's Ring'..]
A voice with a calculating personality
and…….
[Aru? Could it be that by colleague you mean that child??]
Even a voice that is familiar to your ears.
‘This voice... … gaffer?’
If I remember correctly, aka old man.
This is the voice of the master of the large school Artemion, and also Raven's teacher..
“Well, I guess that's right. You nod your head..”
[I'm sending you everything I have right now.]
With this, all contact ended..
To be honest, I was dumbfounded..
‘What is this situation??’
I talked to the wizard who seemed the most formidable just to get the 'cold-blooded' magic..
But now that I see it, it’s not that unusual..
Everyone in the group chat seemed to be the head of a school in the way they spoke, and in fact, among the members was an old man who was the master of Artemion..
And that means.
‘I guess this is not an ordinary wizard either..’
I asked out of pure curiosity.
“who are you?”
He smiled and introduced himself, as if he had no intention of hiding it from the beginning..
“Oh, now that I think about it, I guess I didn't introduce myself. My name is Leven Arpegan..”
It was the first time I heard this name..
However, I knew the school he revealed next..
It was a middle-ranking school in the Magic Tower..
But who would have thought that the master of that school was this young?.
“I will definitely repay this debt someday.”
“If you feel comfortable doing so.”
After a few minutes, replies arrived one after another through the message stone saying that the items had been moved, and Leven Arphegan used magic to summon all the items at the coordinates here..
‘It's a real dragon's ring..’
Starting with the top number items, it was full of various rare items..
As I looked at them one by one, I felt really strange..
“Heaven helped me.”
In fact, saying that I am lucky is not enough..
What are the chances that the wizard I spoke to by chance was the head of a school and was so friendly to me that he even used a private group chat room to help me?—
“Luck, that sounds weird..”
huh?
“This is the first time in my life that I have seen authors go out of their way to help strangers. You think this is just luck?”
When I tilted my head, Leven smiled and continued..
“I don't know what they saw when you said you would save your comrades, so they willingly came forward to help. but…….”
“…….”
“You achieved all of this.”
It was a long-winded speech, as expected of a wizard, but I felt like I understood what he was trying to convey..
It's a bit embarrassing to say this to my face, but.
Sseuuk.
As I wiped my ash-covered nose, hiding my embarrassment, Leven smiled and tapped my shoulder with his arm..
“So don't say you got lucky, just do what you have to do. We must hurry to save our comrades..”
Yeah, this is not the time to be sentimental..
“thanks.”
After expressing my sincere gratitude, I wore or took the summoned items..
「The character has taken the Lye of Eternity.」
「Temporarily increases fire resistance by +50.」
「The character has consumed spirit tears..」
「Temporarily increases all elemental resistance values by +15.」
「The character has taken the pure flame.」
「Temporarily reduces fire damage taken by 10% and increases fire sensitivity by +15.…….」
「…….」
「…….」
First, drink the doping potion..
support.
tear the scroll.
and…….
「The character is no. Equipped with 4819 Lava Shield.」
「Total item level increases by 985.」
「The character is no. 760 Fire Dragon Ring worn.」
「Comprehensive item level…….」
「…….」
「…….」
Equip yourself with various fire-specific artifacts, including triple number items..
Grumbling-!
The air no longer even feels hot.
As a test, I held out my hand towards the flames, but the same thing happened..
“It's cool.”
Those words came out without me even realizing it..
Of course, it was a sentiment that Leben, who is not Korean, could never understand..
“Hmm, no matter how much my tolerance increases, I won’t feel that feeling.…….”
“It just felt like that..”
As I looked around, I stared into the flames that still showed no signs of abating..
And I asked Leven one thing..
“what did you see in me?”
Leven said a while ago.
I don't know what it was, but I think everyone saw something in me and was willing to help..
So, what on earth did he see?.
“It was a rumor.”
The answer was completely unexpected.
“rumor?”
“All the rumors I've heard about you. I saw you for the first time today, but I knew you as soon as I laid eyes on you. It was all true.”
Ambiguous lines with a lot of room for interpretation.
I was about to ask for more details when Leven pushed my back with an anchovy arm..
“……Somebody's body is like a rebar.”
Leven looked at my motionless body and smiled awkwardly, then asked me a favor..
“Oh, now that I think about it, I didn't say this. If you still have strength left after saving your comrades, save others too..”
It's not particularly difficult.
Okay, reception.
“I will try my best.”
“When you say it like that, it sounds very trustworthy. Anyway, I won't hold you back any longer, so go ahead..”
Soon, I completed all preparations by activating the 'Fire Orb' I had previously acquired..
「Activated the Fire Orb.」
「Continuous damage from all fire types within a 15m radius is reduced by 50%..」
It's called Barbarian Firefighter Mode..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
sally.
