Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 269
269Hua Farune Island (3)
A woman stares at a place with cold eyes.
At the end of that gaze was the body of a man..
Guardweaver Drows.
A scum who tried to run away from the karma he committed and live a second life under a new name..
Yeah, I'm sure it was like that.…….
“Sister, why are you looking like that??”
Amelia chewed her lip without realizing it..
I didn't feel as refreshed as I thought.
“Is it because his colleagues ran away? Hey, don't worry too much. The other two went looking for it together, right? I'll catch you soon.”
Even her immature colleague, who was complaining throughout the journey, noticed her, but Amelia had no time to pay attention..
[It's my responsibility. There is no reason for you to get involved. So hurry up!]
The sight of him sacrificing himself for his comrades kept flashing in my eyes..
It was absurd at first..
What on earth is this guy talking about??
When will you betray us??
And that's for those who have no idea what kind of person they are.?
Crackling.
My teeth suddenly ground apart..
If he could do that, why didn't he do it to us??
“Still, you recaptured the item, right? Even if they escape alive, our mission is a success..”
Only then did Amelia clear her thoughts and shift her gaze to the jewel in her hand..
A legacy of Great Sage Gabrielius and a treasure kept by the lords of Noark for a long time..
Now that I think about it, this also felt somewhat uncomfortable..
To be exact, the words I heard while taking this item from him kept coming back to me..
[Amelia, nothing can change this..]
You say that knowing what this thing means to you..
“…….”
Amelia used the poison she had to melt the man's body and destroy it. She then put the jewel she was holding into her sub-space..
Isn't it a situation where all of Noark's leaders have left for the outside world and communication is no longer possible?.
She'll be keeping it for some time to come..
I wasn't going to act in a hurry and planned to go back later and find a way to use this gem..
‘I finally got it.’
One way or another, the end of a long-cherished wish has come to an end. With that thought, Amelia shook off her unpleasant feelings..
It was then.
“But sister.”
Carmilla, the team's summoner and the woman with the means of transportation on the 6th floor, sneaked up on her and stuck to her..
The eyes were full of curiosity..
“This is the real thing?”
It's not that I couldn't understand that feeling..
This is an item that has only been passed down as a legend even within Noark, and in some ways is considered more fictional than the ‘Stone of Revival’..
That's why Amelia didn't give it a chance..
“I do not know either.”
Of course she knew.
The story about this object is not simply a made-up story, and the object just placed in subspace is undoubtedly the real thing..
But isn't there a saying that it's a good idea?.
It would be foolish to say things like that and create variables..
“Oh, don't do that. Her older sister knew that man well. I think I know whether this is real or not.?”
“Again, I don't know. And whether this is the real thing or not is not something we care about. Our job is to get back what he had..”
Amelia drew the line once again..
And just as I was about to turn my back.
“What, seeing this reaction, I guess it's real.?”
Carmilla grinned..
“Wow, I had no idea this was actually real..”
In some ways, it may sound like an immature joke..
However, Amelia, who had seen all kinds of bad things in her life, instinctively placed her hand on the dagger..
It was that moment.
Puuk-!
A warm feeling blooming from your back.
“Sorry, Lane Wales..”
It was a mistake to only be wary of Carmilla..
When I came to my senses, the warrior's sword was piercing my stomach..
But so what?.
Amelia decided right away that it was time to correct her mistake..
“Good job, man.!”
The point where the blade penetrated is under the ribs..
“When are you going to call me brother??”
Although his organs were damaged, the injuries were not enough to cause immediate death..
thus…….
“What do you mean, half blood mixed in…? … Tsk!”
I pull out my dagger and quickly thrust it forward..
The target is Carmilla.
The woman I wanted to kill several times.
whistling-!
Unfortunately it was a bit short.
Of course it didn't mean much.
Because I have a catching skill that I learned while fighting barbarians in the past..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As soon as an aura is infused into the tip of the sword, the missing distance is made up..
Puuk-!
“Ouch!!”
The tip of the dagger pierced Carmilla's eye..
“It's a shame.”
If it had been a little deeper, it could have pierced my brain..
Sigh-!
As soon as I felt regret, the knife stuck in my stomach was pulled out..
My body stumbled from the recoil..
But there is no time to rest.
“Shit!”
A warrior's sword swings straight toward a vital point..
It seemed difficult to avoid, so Amelia stretched out her arms..
That's because the arm is not a vital point..
Suddenly-!
A sharp long sword cut off the limbs of my arms..
His life was saved, but he suffered a great loss in battle..
It wasn't that big of a problem this time either..
If your main body is damaged, you can just use your alter ego to fight..
Tadat.
Amelia used the doppelganger's [self-replication] to create an alter ego right behind the warrior..
And then he swung his foot straight towards the head..
Connections that most enemies could not even respond to.
“behind, behind!”
Soon, the clone's feet touched the opponent and an explosion sounded..
Kwaang-!
It wasn't the sound coming from the head I was aiming for..
“Ugh!”
The place where my feet touched is the shoulder of a warrior.
The factor was that the warrior turned his body sideways in response to a timely warning..
Puuk-!
As a result of the failed attack, the warrior's sword cut into his abdomen once more..
Although the fighter was not deeply embedded as he had to quickly pull himself out due to the use of double bodies as a check,…….
‘If you do it wrong, you'll die..’
Dangerous.
That was the moment when such thoughts dominated Amelia’s mind..
“What are you doing, hurry up and grab your arms!”
The warrior rolled on the floor and picked up his severed arm..
It was an arm filled with a subspace bracelet..
Feeling frustrated, Amelia used her clone to quickly chase after the warrior..
but…….
“Yongyong, let’s go.!”
three steps were not enough.
[Kwaaaaaa-!]
The first thing that happened was for the warrior to ride on the Drake summoned by Carmilla..
Huh! Huh!
Drake rose to the sky in an instant.
I could hear their conversation buried in the strong sound of wings flapping..
“……Amelia Lane Wales. What a terrifying woman. I never thought it would be that threatening even in that area..”
“Okay, give me the potion first.!”
“Let’s talk first. What to do now? I couldn't kill it properly.”
“Lady, what does it matter! I'm going to die anyway…….”
That was the end of the conversation that her developed hearing could hear..
Because now it has completely disappeared into the sky.
“Damn it.”
Amelia swore for the first time in a long time..
But that doesn't change anything.
The only way to save yourself from a hopeless situation is through action..
plod.
Amelia used her healthy clone to carry the main body..
And quickly left the place.
I decided that if those guys came back to the ground to confirm and kill me, it would really be the end..
plod, trudge.
Amelia continued to move without really knowing which direction she was going..
How long has it been like that?.
It was a time when my soul power was exhausted and [self-replication] was canceled, but I still got up and took a step forward..
fault.
My body stiffened at the sound of recognition coming from next to me..
I thought that if they were my comrades who went in pursuit, they would live, and if not, they would die..
An either/or situation where life and death are decided.
but…….
“……Einar? Einarnyang?”
Surprisingly, Amelia's expectations were wrong..
“you.”
“Ugh, uhh?”
“You are Bjorn Yandel's colleague..”
The side view that I looked up and checked..
dump-!
What was there was a cat.
***
“Ugh, what is this guy again?!”
Misha was confused.
That's natural.
Anyone would do that if a woman with her arm cut off and a hole in her stomach suddenly appeared before my eyes and collapsed..
‘Uh, uh… … Are you one of those explorers who were fighting??’
“Four, potion. Okay, let’s start with potions.…….”
Although it was an unidentified woman, Misha first opened the water-soaked expandable backpack and took out the potion..
Is this woman a good person or a bad person?.
No, there is still no information as to whether there was a good side in the first place.…….
[You are Bjorn Yandel's colleague..]
The last words the woman spoke before she fell eliminated even the slightest hesitation..
Yeah, you might know Bjorn..
Let's start with treatment first..
mulberry-!
Misha uncorked the potion and quickly poured it on the woman's wound..
But what is this again?.
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
There is no sound of water boiling, which is characteristic of potions..
A potion that just flows through the wound as if cold water was poured on it..
“Eh? I bought it at an authorized grocery store.?”
I couldn't understand it at all, but Misha, who had experience buying counterfeit potions in the beginning, took out another potion from her bag..
But it was the same this time too.
‘……Uh, why doesn't this work??’
Could it be that this too was fake??
Soon, as an experiment, Misha fell into the water and poured some potion on the scratches on his body..
Cheeeeeeeek-!
I noticed that it was itching like crazy, but the potion was fine..
But why doesn't it work for this girl?.
I don't know, but Misha didn't give up..
I learned from Bjorn that the barbarian spirit is to chew with your gums if you don't have teeth..
‘It's been a really long time since I wrote this.…….’
Misha took out some herbs and bandages..
First aid supplies that I have stocked up to use in case there comes a time when I cannot use potions..
“It will sting a little... … . Oh, I guess you won't hear it anyway..”
First, Misha washed the wound with disinfectant, applied medicinal herbs and bandaged it..
Then he spread the blanket on the floor and lay down on it..
This is the end of temporary measures.
I've done everything I can, the rest is up to this woman's will..
“……I'm hiding well..”
After observing the condition for a moment, Misha squatted down next to the blanket when he saw that his breathing had stabilized..
And I sighed deeply..
“Ugh, I can't leave this like this.…….”
If he had just fainted, he would have carried him on his back or something, but his condition was so serious that it was impossible to use that method..
“Bjorn will wait…….”
Soon Misha started crying..
But I couldn't just leave this woman like this..
It was like that for about 10 minutes..
Squeak, Squeak, Squeak Geek!
Misha turned his head at the somewhat unpleasant sound..
“Ah, what is this again?…….”
Monsters were crawling out from the shore..
***
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
The sound of flesh clashing continues regularly..
It's a sound coming from my hand.
Should I say that I can't leave my body alone??
I just keep snapping my fingers..
That's right too.
‘2hour.’
That much time has passed since we arrived at the center..
No matter how quickly I arrived, at least one of my colleagues should have arrived a long time ago..
‘Why is no one coming??’
Even though I try to have faith, ominous imaginations keep filling my head..
Misha, Raven, Mr. Bear, Einar, and Erwen…….
Is it really okay??
If I had known this would be the case, I would have walked around the coast instead of the center.…….
“Do you plan on staying here??”
As I was quietly shaking with anxiety, the goddess carefully asked a question..
It seemed so fucking fake to me..
No, earlier I said have faith..
“Even though you are a priest, why are you so quick to give up??”
I said it grumblingly, but I knew it deep inside..
Considering his job as a priest, such a reaction is not strange..
Squeak, Squeak, Squeak Geek!
As evidence, marine monsters that now only appear when events occur have begun to appear here occasionally..
Before I knew it, I had walked this far at less than half the walking speed of a normal person..
‘Soon it will be filled with stronger guys. The coast is probably already full of kids like that..’
Still, no one arrived.
“Ersina.”
“yes please say.”
“move Waiting doesn't suit my temperament either..”
“It seems like your faith is still the same..”
what.
When we say that's all we can do.
“If you were born as a human, Yandel might have become a great religious person..”
Well, religious people are shit..
As a proud modern atheist, I felt strange, but I didn't say anything because it was more of an exclamation than a sarcasm..
“Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly..”
“yes.”
The goddess’ temple was raised and prepared..
And I was just about to leave..
plod.
After almost two hours, a visitor finally arrived..
Unfortunately, it wasn't one of our team members..
A skinny body full of minor injuries, as if it had just been through an arduous battle..
A longbow slung over one's shoulder.
Even green hair covered in dirt.
“……Yandel.”
Is it an enemy or an ally?.
It wasn't difficult to tell.
He looked at us and asked.
“What did you guys do to Lane Wales??”
It was so elaborate.
Actually, I also have a question for you..
I asked, ignoring the tinnitus ringing in my ears..
“Hey, why do you have Raven's subspace ring??”
You'll have to answer well..
If you don't, you'll really lose your mind..
