Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 271
271Fire Defense (1)
Winix Carmilla.
After healing her injured eye with a potion, she looked at her brother with annoyed eyes..
He also restored his severed arm with a potion..
“Oh, if you had done it right, this wouldn't have happened.!”
“I don't think you were in too much of a hurry?”
“……Are you in a hurry? Do you think there will ever come a moment where it's just the two of us and that woman, just like before? There is nothing wrong with me! The fault lies with the guy who didn’t pick it properly.!”
The man sighed at Carmilla's criticism..
Yeah, what's the point of fighting here?.
“Things are more certain than that.?”
“You too are worried. Can't you feel it? This jewel overflows with magic.?”
“……If I had that level of magic aptitude, I would have become a wizard..”
“What can you say, you're still so stupid that you can't be a wizard or something.?”
Carmilla raised the corner of her mouth while grumbling at her brother as usual..
“How much do you want to sell this for??”
This was the reason she was able to smile even though she had experienced her eye being stabbed by a dagger just a moment ago..
Isn’t Noark virtually gone?.
I decided that it was wise to take a chance even if it meant taking risks, and I was right..
“Come on, let's go. Just stop at any island, rest, and then you're done. I can live like a noble for the rest of my life.”
Carmilla drove the gliding Drake to escape the island..
It was then.
“for a moment.”
The man stopped Carmilla like that..
“Why all of a sudden?”
“We need to make sure Lane Wales is dead..”
“what? I already packed my things, why??”
Carmilla tilted her head, but the man spoke firmly..
Of course, after fighting it myself, I know better..
Amelia Lane Wales is a monster to say the least. She probably wouldn't have escaped alive if the surprise attack hadn't been successful..
“If she survives, she will have to live in anxiety for the rest of her life even after returning to the city..”
“Survive? Stop talking nonsense, right? How do you live like that? I stabbed my stomach like that with a poisoned sword.!”
Carmilla screamed at the man's words..
But at the same time, I wonder if I didn't have any thoughts just in case..
“……If you're really worried, you can check it out. Is he dead or alive? Of course, I'm sure she's dead, but she was in such a hurry that she didn't even get her equipment.…….”
After a short agreement, the two rode the Drake and returned to the island. Fortunately, the other two colleagues who went in pursuit have not yet returned..
“……Looks like you moved that body well..”
Amelia was nowhere to be seen..
But I wouldn't have gotten far.
“There are blood stains connected. It's this way.”
The two moved along the traces left nearby..
However, the trace continued much longer than expected, and at some point completely stopped..
“……You erased your traces intentionally. I never thought I would have had the spirit to do that even in that situation..”
“Uh, what should I do? then?”
Only then did Carmilla's face turn white..
Since she had the spirit to erase her traces, it made me think that she might actually survive..
But there was no other way.
“The chase ends here..”
“Uh, we're done here.?”
“Yeah, it's not like there are any professional searchers among us. Anything more would be a waste of time. Not going back.”
Afterwards, the man moved with Carmilla to the place where the battle had occurred earlier..
and…….
Kwasik-!
Destroyed the stones placed on the altar in the center of the island..
“Wow, why did you suddenly break it? Hey, are you mad at me?……?”
“What is anger? There is such a thing. I'll explain later, so let's leave for now..”
“no, what is that—”
Carmilla couldn't finish her sentence..
Rumbling-!
There was a strong thunderstorm and dark clouds were gathering..
It seems like the wind has gotten stronger somewhere..
「Tribute on Farune Island has been destroyed.」
「The fury of the sea covers the island.」
The man seemed unfamiliar to her today..
***
Einar and Erwen.
The moment these two showed up, I wanted to run out and greet them, but I held back to protect the clan leader..
“Oh, are you here?.”
Cancer, if you're the head of a group, you have to have weight..
“It's late.”
“sorry. But what about other people?……?”
“Not yet.”
“yes? Not yet? I thought we would definitely be the last, but we all…….”
“stop.”
I cut off Erwen’s words..
“Don't worry too much, everyone will be fine. Something happened so I'm just going to be late..”
In fact, Erwen and Einar also arrived this late, but aren't they all fine?.
Ah, in that sense, let me ask you this first..
“So, why are you so late??”
“That's actually…….”
I gave the reason for my tardiness because I thought it might be helpful in guessing the circumstances of other colleagues who have not yet joined..
It was an uneventful story..
I managed to swim and reach the shore without losing consciousness, but I lost my bow along the way.?
“It was late because I kept looking around to see if I might be carried away by the waves. Meanwhile, I met Mr. Einar by chance..”
Hmm, somehow there was no bow on the shoulder..
But thanks to you, I was able to meet Einar and take care of her, so it was a good thing.?
“Something like that happened. Don't worry too much about your lost bow. I'll just have to use this for the time being..”
While saying that, I took out a longbow from subspace and handed it to Erwen..
“uh? It's a bow made from Bortal wood, right? Where on earth do I get this precious thing?…….”
Wow, this was Bortal Wood, a level 4 material.?
For some reason, it looks pretty from the start.
“I was lucky to pick it up.”
As I briefly explained how I obtained this item, Erwen tilted his head..
However, soon the situation was understood..
“Hey, but this person…….”
I look at the man in casual clothes who has stripped me of all his equipment and ask him about his identity..
“He's from Noark..”
“Wow, I see! I will write this gratefully……!”
Erwen thanked me with a happy expression..
I'm sure he's nice..
“I'm glad to have met my colleagues. I'm glad my faith wasn't in vain..”
Anyway, as we were chatting for a while, the priestess joined the conversation..
While I was leaving, he also introduced me to him..
“Parts are priests who belong to the team. The name is Ersina. I met him by chance on the way here and joined him..”
“This is Lairin Ersina..
“Ah yes…….”
Erwen awkwardly responded to the priestess's greeting and looked at me and asked:.
“Uncle, nothing special happened.?”
“It's nothing special?”
“……no. More than that, why didn't you just snap his wrist and kill him??”
Soon, Erwen shook his head, looked at Nevarce, and asked me a question. It must have been strange that I spared the guy from Noark..
“I don't know if it might be useful.”
“Um, really? It doesn't look like that... … . Well, if you are, that's probably it.!”
I smiled awkwardly and ended this topic here..
Actually, there was another reason for keeping him alive..
Amelia Lane Wales.
I decided that if I killed this guy and ended up in an irreparable relationship with that woman, it would be a pain in the ass..
‘It looks like their goal was only dross..’
According to Nebarce, there seems to be something wrong with Amelia as well..
Perhaps it might be possible to go further and form a temporary alliance..
The wave will start soon.
Considering the last wave, it is better to have more people..
“Then move on.”
Anyway, I couldn't stay here forever, so I got ready and left..
The destination is the eastern coast where the first boss will appear..
Huh, I didn't know that everyone wouldn't be able to join until the wave started..
Where on earth are you all doing??
worriedly.
“I'll clear the road, Einar, you watch to make sure this guy doesn't do anything foolish..”
Just in case, Einar did not participate in the battle and had Nevarche watch over him..
And I increased my speed as much as possible.
but…….
「You have defeated the Ranemut Warrior. EXP +3」
「Killed the conch horn. EXP +3」
「Killed Garbel…….」
「…….」
The speed did not pick up because the monsters that came from the sea took over the entire island..
Well, they are still level 7 mobs, so it is possible to move around the island like this.…….
‘We'll all have to meet before the next wave..’
I keep getting impatient..
Starting from the next wave, the level of monsters will increase significantly..
To the extent that even I find it difficult to endure on my own..
“……I hope everyone is okay.?”
Erwen muttered worriedly as the number of monsters was greater than expected..
I answered quickly, hoping to avoid being denied..
“Don't feel weird. It'll be okay.”
“But there are so many monsters…….”
It would be difficult to endure alone?
“Didn’t I just come this far after meeting Ersina?.”
Perhaps Misha or Raven may also meet them somewhere on the island and join forces..
Well, it's not like there's no worries there either..
‘Nimiral.’
I remembered the conversation I had with Nebarce earlier..
Even if my colleagues were lucky enough to run into a member of Partran's team, it couldn't necessarily be seen as a positive situation..
That's right too…….
[How did they know they would come to this island and attack them??]
Nebarce answered my question like this:.
[Among them, there was a person who told us about the exploration plan. Only Lane Wales knows who that is, but.]
There is a traitor among them..
***
Arua Raven looked towards the bush and opened her eyes wide..
“It's not the one I was looking for······.”
“······.”
“This might not be bad either..”
Fortunately, it was a person I knew..
“Miss Raven, I see you again..”
“Mr. Partsran!”
She, who had been anxious, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran forward..
“What happened? Why is your body hurt like this? What about the person on his back? Are you dead??”
In response to her question, Pachran smiled bitterly and put down the wizard he was carrying..
And explained the situation..
“I just fainted, don't worry too much..”
“Well, I'm glad. So what happened??”
“……There was an attack by marauders..”
There was an attack, and I barely escaped, but the group was scattered because of the pursuers..
So, I was wandering around looking for a colleague..
After summarizing the situation briefly, he cautiously opened his mouth..
“Although they are not the colleagues I was looking for, I am very fortunate to have met Ms. Raven. If you don't mind, could you help us??”
“Please help me?”
“One of my companions is in the center of the island. He stayed alone to give us a chance to escape. We have to go rescue him quickly… … . Oh, but now that I think about it, I can't see that barbarian.?”
Soon, Pachran realized that Raven was not in a normal state either and tilted his head..
“Did something happen on either side of Raven? Hey, what happened to Archer, the prisoner who looks like he fell into the water??”
“Well, as I was leaving the island, a storm suddenly came... … . The ship ran aground and everyone was scattered..”
Afterwards, when Raven talked about the promise to meet in the center of the island, Partsran's eyes lit up..
“In the center of the island? Well then, that's great. How about we move there together? With all those crazy guys running around this island, it would be a lot safer that way..”
Simply put, it means forming a team, at least temporarily..
Raven thought for a moment and then answered..
“Okay, let's do that..”
There was no reason to refuse..
