Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 267
267Hua Farune Island (1)
people are fighting.
That one word woke me up..
Maybe I had become a little complacent without realizing it..
Exciting-!
There are no explorers from Noark..
No, there are few explorers in the first place..
But even so, it was a world in a labyrinth where anything could happen..
So, let’s quickly check the information.
“How many people in total??”
“At least eight people.”
When I asked in a low voice, Erwen answered immediately without even a moment's pause..
“That means there are at least two teams fighting..”
“First of all, what about the situation?.”
“Another thing I need to know is?”
“……no.”
Hmm, I don't think that's what you say..
It's not good to pass this up..
It's like that in the movies too.?
“Another thing I need to know is?”
I asked once more strongly, and soon Erwen answered cautiously..
“……Somehow I don't have a good feeling.”
Yeah, I see..
“sorry. For saying useless things…….”
I chuckled as I watched Erwen blurt her words..
“There's nothing to be sorry about.”
Actually, I was like that too..
When I heard that the explorers were in the middle of a PK, an ominous feeling began to creep in..
It was a time when I was thinking about future decisions..
“Yandel, what are we going to do now??”
“I'm going to save it this time too……?”
I tilted my head..
“This time too?”
“It was like that last time on the first floor and when the palace caught fire. Because you like saving people…….”
What are you saying?.
Things are completely different between then and now..
The imperial capital only had the resources to do so, and they promised to help if they had the resources left..
And on the first floor…….
“I think I know what you're mistaken about, but I'll take this opportunity to make it clear..”
As a result, I ended up being treated as an undeserved hero as I led thousands of explorers to open a path to escape..
To be honest, it's true that it got hot somewhere..
but.
“What I was really trying to save then was you..”
Priorities still haven't changed.
'Cause I'm a selfish person who doesn't deserve to be called a hero.
Just protecting myself and my people is overwhelming..
“That means…….”
“I don't have a good feeling, but there's no need to get involved. Leave the island like this.”
“But does that still work? I don't know what the situation is over there, but maybe they need help..”
Mr. Bear opened his mouth with an uncomfortable expression..
I don't think he was originally a character like this..
It looks like he's still drunk from the taste of hero mulberry he felt on the first floor..
“They are explorers too. I'm doing this because I've made that level of determination..”
I spoke clearly, with the authority of a leader, and Mr. Bear agreed without saying anything..
But was there one thing I was worried about in hindsight??
“Raven, are you okay? I think I was friendly with the guy I met earlier..”
“What about Parts? Well, if he's fighting over there, there's a good chance he's involved.…….”
Raven blurted out her words due to Mr. Bear's concerns..
And he looked us straight in the eye and firmly drew a line..
“It doesn't matter though.”
“It doesn't matter?”
“We're not that close anyway. What if something happens when I go to help??”
A very selfish, explorer-like answer..
However, we were all left speechless by the subsequent conversation..
“……My team is more important to me..”
Oh, you say things like that without even looking at me..
He also got a year older and became more shameless..
I still look like a kid.
“Then the decision is made..”
As soon as the decision was made, we turned around and ran towards the shore..
Estimated arrival time is approximately 1 hour.
It's not a very big island, so if you get out quickly there won't be any problems..
‘It's a pity to leave the hidden piece behind, but…….’
That's right, you can leave the island first and try again later after seeing the situation..
‘Yes, when you're anxious, it's best to jump out first..’
I even threw away my last regret.
And how much time has passed.
“It's the sea!”
Soon we arrived at the coast and quickly took out the boat and launched it on the waves. Then they got on board one by one and rowed away from the island..
It was a moment when I felt a little relieved..
“rain, bjorn!”
The brave barbarian female warrior Einar shouted, clearly showing her fear..
“Oh, what happened! Well, the sea... … ! the sea rises!!”
The calm sea suddenly changed and started shaking violently and rocking the boat..
「Tribute on Farune Island has been destroyed.」
「The fury of the sea covers the island.」
Nimiral.
***
The hidden piece of Farune Island is simple..
When you destroy the 'tribute' hidden in the center of the island, you can proceed with an event called the Fury of the Sea..
It's a kind of defense event..
Sea monsters are coming towards the island from the coast, and we must stop them inland..
And what I was aiming for was the essence of the event boss.
4Grade Monster Elfrot.
If Misha or Erwen consumes it, it is an essence that can be used until the latter half of the game..
Well, whether it drops or not is a separate issue..
Anyway, this is not a topic to think about right now..
‘At least 8 people over there. And here are 6 people…….’
In fact, the event of maximum difficulty has been opened..
Hidden piece, anyway, getting off this island is the top priority..
“Hey, what's going on??”
“The waves suddenly hit like this, I've never heard of this before.…….”
“paddle! Hurry up and start rowing!!”
For a moment we were taken aback by the rough waves as if no one could escape this island, and then we hurriedly started paddling..
Isn't that a situation where we were almost outside?.
‘If you go a little further, you can escape altogether..’
In fact, escaping the island was not systematically blocked even after an event occurred in the game..
It doesn't take long for a normal ship to sink..
“one two. one two!!”
Shouting slogans and leading the boat over the waves.
but…….
‘I should have spent more money and bought a nice boat..’
I don't feel like I'm making any progress.
It feels like I'm being pushed further and further towards the island even when I'm paddling with all my might..
It wasn't just a feeling, it was real..
“Rain, Bjorn! Well, the island is getting closer.?”
A boat that is pushed back even if it tries to move forward through the waves.
I have a bitter taste for some reason.
If only the ship had been equipped with a magical propulsion device, I think we would have been able to break through somehow..
“Bjorn! My stomach is filling with water.……!!”
“Uh, what should I do? It's not broken somewhere?”
Soon, as the boat began to fill with water, panic spread among the group..
It's time to make a decision.
“I give up on getting off the island..”
After thinking for a moment, I quickly gave instructions..
“Everyone, turn your backs and sit down! Ride the waves and head towards the island as much as possible.!”
This is the advantage of a small boat that can accommodate six people..
It's not that there is no distinction between front and back in a ship, but it doesn't have much significance. Even more so if the waves are pushing the boat roughly like this..
“Put all heavy equipment in the subspace.!”
In addition to reducing the weight of the ship, they also removed equipment to prepare for a capsize..
Okay, then the basic preparations are now complete..
“right!!”
Rather than moving the boat, oars were used only to prevent the boat from losing balance and capsizing..
After about 3 minutes, I started to feel that the island that was visible in the distance was clearly getting closer..
“There, there……!”
The boat, which was bouncing and moving forward all the time, was swept away by a large wave..
and…….
“Wow!!!”
completely turned over.
“Whoop!”
Body submerged in water in an instant.
First, I somehow held on to the overturned boat..
“Is everyone okay?!!”
“Uh, for now!”
“I'm safe too!”
When I shouted, reports of survival came from all over the place..
Except for one person.
“Raven is?”
what happened?
Could it be that he was just swept away??
“Puheup, here! Here you are!”
Huh, I was surprised..
We quickly exchanged opinions as we floated around holding on to the overturned boat..
“So what do we do now??”
“Isn’t it okay to just stay like this??”
“Oh, I guess things are going well for now.…….”
It wasn't a bad method.
As the ship was made of special wood with strong buoyancy, it did not sink even when capsized..
‘In fact, it seems more stable than when I was on the boat.…….’
Since the waves are crashing into the island, the boat will head towards the shore even if we don't steer it..
“Everyone hold on tight.!”
Soon, we held on and held on, holding on to the boat handle tightly so as not to fall off in the waves..
About a minute passed like that..
‘Oh, I didn't think of this.…….”
We face a new crisis.
“Hey, rock! rock hall……!”
As we got closer to the coast, the towering reef began to get closer to the ship..
It was impossible to change course now..
“When you disperse, come to the center of the island.!!”
I quickly assumed the worst and shouted.
and at that moment.
Kwaaang-!
the ship hit the reef.
***
Wow-!
I opened my eyes to the sound of rough waves..
The view ahead was blurry, as if there was a foreign object, and the salty taste of the sea was strong in my mouth..
And for some reason…….
Kakak, Kakak, Kakakakak.
There was a sound of something gnawing..
None other than at my feet.
“……?”
I wanted to know something, so I barely raised my head to check my lower body, and then I froze..
A lobster monster the size of a large dog was struggling to chew on my foot..
“I'm saying shit.”
No, will that work?.
What is my physical resistance?.
Powok-!
First, I used my free foot to push the stud rep. Then he quickly stood up and struck the top of the lobster monster's head with the plank he was holding in his hand..
「You have defeated Sterep. EXP +1」
9A crayfish monster that turns into light and disappears with just one hit, as expected from a level monster..
‘But what is this plank?…….’
It was only then that I realized that from the moment I opened my eyes, I had been holding a plank in my hand..
Where did this come from?.
Without even thinking about it, a memory I had forgotten for a while came to mind..
‘Oh, the ship was destroyed.…….’
The ship hit the reef and broke into pieces..
Then I grabbed the largest board and hugged it tightly. I believe that with this, even a barbarian body will not sink in the water..
‘I bought it thanks to you…….’
After I quickly figured it out, I quickly looked around. No one was seen on the empty sandy beach..
‘Are the other kids okay?…….’
For now, Raven will be fine..
I can't swim, but I saw it floating in the air last time using the floating magic. Misha or Erwen doesn't know how to swim so I'm a little less worried about her..
The problem is that Einar and Uncle Bear can't swim..
‘Hehe, I hope it washes up on the shore safely..’
Even though I try to get my mind together, I keep getting worried..
However, despite that feeling, my hands moved without stopping and I took out the equipment I had stored in subspace and put it on..
Soon hordes of monsters will flock to the island..
Fortunately, it seems like it hasn't been long since the event started, as I can see people walking around at level level.…….
We need to prepare.
‘They said that explorers were fighting among themselves. What was the situation that led to this event??’
There are a few things I don't understand, but they're the kind of things that can't be solved right now..
Ha, if I really knew it would be like this, I would have just gone to help..
If I had, I would have known what was going on.—
plod.
As I was about to leave the coast and enter the forest, I stopped..
It's because I heard noises coming from beyond the bushes..
Ta-dat, ta-dat, ta-dat.
the sound of someone running.
‘It's not a monster.’
All monsters inside Parune Island are flying insects that can glide..
It doesn't mean it's the sound of a monster running..
Also, there was a high possibility that they were not scattered colleagues..
Because the place we decided to meet was inside the forest..
There's no reason to run in the opposite direction.
‘So you must be one of the explorers who were fighting earlier??’
I slowly raised the mace and waited for the master of the sword to appear..
The reason I waited was simple..
Wasn't it only one person who heard the footsteps?.
Even if a fight breaks out, if it's one-on-one, I'm confident that I'll at least get out..
Therefore, it is best to contact them and get information first..
‘now.’
I was measuring the distance through the sound of running, and as soon as the timing was right, I suddenly stretched out my hand..
“Heo-eok, heo-eok. Wow, eup—!”
In an instant, the suppressed prey floated in the air and struggled..
“Stay still. Because it won't hurt you.”
The original plan was to swing the mace to clearly subdue him, but this was decided to hold off..
Because we were familiar with each other..
Well, it looks like the other party doesn't remember..
“I'll let you go, so be quiet..”
“da, who are you…….”
“Didn't I tell you to be quiet?.”
Immediately after urging with a fierce voice, the goddess dressed in pure white robes trembled..
Huh, this makes me feel like a bad person..
“I am Baron Bjorn Jandel..”
“ah……!”
Once the name was revealed, the priestess' complexion brightened..
There seemed to be no suspicion of his identity..
It seems that Partsran heard about me..
“So calm down, Ersina. I am not your enemy.”
“Uh, how do you get my name?…….”
How to know.
I know because I met you once before..
I say it again, it was a memory difficult to forget..
[Priest Ersina. Could you please treat me??]
[I refuse.]
When this woman refused my treatment, I felt like my world was falling apart..
Tsk, that’s it. Isn't this what's important?.
“We'll talk about that later. Go ahead and explain. What happened in the forest??”
Understanding the situation comes first.
