Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 28
28angry crack (2)
Daria WittEmber D Tercia.
5She, a first-year explorer, was currently wandering around the crystal cave on the first floor..
With her younger brother who was young in her eyes.
“Erwen, you used the spirit again..”
“Ah, sister, it's so hard to do with just a dagger.…….”
“I told you. Even without a bow or using spirits, you must be able to protect yourself..”
“No, I understand that.…….”
“Stop, just keep moving around and practicing and you will get better..”
Tersia took Erwen around the first floor and gave her harsh practical training..
It was all for my little brother..
And my brother didn't know that either..
But as the time went on, I could see at a glance that I was getting more tired..
“Ah, you said it's better to specialize in what you're best at.…….”
“…what?”
“Trust your team and do your best at what you do. Well, that was the basics of being an explorer... yo. this.”
Tersia, who had been listening blankly, was speechless..
Because it's such a straightforward statement.
Wouldn't it be nice if the world just worked like that??
“Erwen, a colleague is just a colleague. Don't attach too much value to it..”
Tercia has experienced many teams.
Starting with the 6th floor exploration team that I was a part of not long ago, a hunting team that targets only certain profitable monsters, and a running team that targets portal opening achievements..
I went around with a lot of people and experienced a lot of things. Among them were many things she did not want to tell Erwen..
Colleagues are not people you can trust..
You wouldn't know if it was a family connected by blood.
“okay…….”
Erwen didn't talk back anymore due to Tersia's stiff expression..
So time passed and it was the 4th day..
1Erwen, who walked around the floor clockwise, had grown to the point where she could kill all the monsters with just a dagger..
In the process, my level naturally rose..
“Hey sister? I got a promotion, but can't I just go to the second floor now? He must be making a lot of money on the second floor by now.…….”
Tersia smiled as if it was cute..
2What's the big deal about catching a few more monsters on the floor?.
“Erwen, the rift will open soon..”
crack.
A place where even mid-level adventurers with several years of experience cannot enter even once unless they are lucky..
Erwen tilted his head..
“How does she know that??”
“The last time a crack opened on the first floor was eight months ago..”
Tersia kindly explained things one by one as if she were a younger sibling..
Today is the 4th day, and there is a statistical reason why the crack will open within the next 3 days..
“I see… You didn't say that..”
Yes, it will be.
Erwen tried to sing the old man song every time, but he was still a beginner after all..
By now, you're going through trial and error as you go up the floors, making moves that would be nothing short of inefficient from an experienced person's point of view..
“Erwen, don’t be impatient and trust your sister. Even after just one year, there will be a huge gap between you and that barbarian..”
Sometimes the slow way is the fastest way.
“Yes… Then I can help you then.!”
“yes, go ahead.”
Tercia nodded as if she was amazed..
There's no telling whether the barbarian will be alive by then, and even if he is, wouldn't it be okay to stop him then?.
At least I wanted my younger brother to maintain his innocence..
It was a time when I was thinking like that..
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!
As if there was an earthquake, the labyrinth began to shake..
What happens when a crack opens.
“Erwen!”
Tercia held Erwen’s hand and ran down the aisle at full speed. And before long, I found a portal shaking uneasily..
It was a crack.
Probably, thousands of portals like this have appeared throughout the first floor by now..
Now it's a race against time where every minute counts..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Tersia jumped into the portal with Erwen..
But at that moment.
Huh-
The portal has disappeared.
dump.
Tersia soon flew through the air and landed on the bare ground, clicking her tongue in disappointment..
“…You're one step late.”
Instead of entering at the same time, if only my younger brother had been brought in quickly, he might have succeeded in entering..
but…….
“…There will be another chance next time.”
Can not help it.
After all, what if my younger brother goes into the crack alone and ends up dying??
“Erwen, let's go to the second floor..”
I repeat, sometimes the slow road is faster..
***
Equivalent exchange.
I really like these words..
But unfortunately, the world does not run by these laws..
Just look at the psychopathic bitch I met..
I barely survived, but I gained nothing..
‘No, rather, I was kicked out of the land of the dead and wasted time..’
But this time is different.
This time I made the choice..
Therefore, there will definitely be a price to pay..
Well, maybe.
thud.
As I looked at the remaining two people who were matched as team members, a human man and a woman, my tension rose..
The man who landed with a heavy sound had no special features.…….
the woman was different.
widely.
The woman fell slowly and landed softly, as if defying the influence of gravity..
Even the talkative dwarf opened his mouth at this sight and could not hide his surprise..
I was the same too.
“Never thought I'd see a wizard here.”
Wizard.
The strongest job in [Dungeon & Stone], in name and reality, where you are treated well wherever you go just because of your status..
“Bjorn, is a wizard really that great? The librarian was also a wizard, wasn’t he?!”
The female wizard frowned in displeasure at Einar's question..
I opened my mouth quickly before I looked hateful..
“The librarian is a level 9 wizard..”
“Is it something else??”
different.
That too a lot.
If they are upper-class workers working in places such as guilds, public institutions, or workshops, then this woman can be said to be a true magician..
The fact that you entered the labyrinth is proof of that..
Since wizards are an important resource in Lapdonia, they cannot enter the labyrinth unless they can prove their skills..
“Right!”
“Yes, that's right. For a barbarian, you have a lot of knowledge..”
As I explained clearly and at eye level, the female wizard joined the conversation in a calm voice..
I felt like I knew what kind of personality he had as he had a satisfied smile on his face..
“hello. My name is Arua Raven, a level 6 wizard. This person here is a professional mover I hired. The name… What was it?”
“This is Tarjin. Raven.”
Now I see that there were two people in one group..
Anyway it wasn't that bad.
Basically, there is no feeling of looking down on people, but among wizards, this is a noble person..
There were a lot of additional modifications in the game..
“Can you please introduce yourself too??”
“Hikurod Muradne. It may be a short journey, but please take care of me. Miss Raven.”
“Murad, how many years are you together??”
“3It's a year.”
3First year explorer…….
For some reason, each piece of equipment had a nice color..
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
I briefly revealed my name and asked straight to the point..
“No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be any reason to be active on the first floor, so how did you get into the rift??”
1Most of the explorers who work on the floor do not have proper equipment..
So I expected that I would have to work really hard to clear the crack..
But a 3rd year dwarf and a 6th grade wizard??
At this point, not only can I not like it, but there are too many suspicious aspects to say it was a coincidence..
“I can't explain the details, but I've heard that cracks open in this cycle..”
“Me too.”
Is this really kicking the ladder?.
As if they had promised, Raven and the dwarf kept quiet about the method..
Of course, it didn't mean much.
Now I have an idea as to how it was inferred..
“Ainarda, second daughter of Pnellin.”
Soon, after everyone's voices were finished, Raven took the lead in the conversation..
“The loot will be divided according to the number of people, excluding Mr. Tarjin. Instead, can everyone please follow my instructions??”
“There is no other opinion. Because it’s common sense to follow the wizard’s words in the labyrinth..”
“Thank you for saying that..”
When the dwarf expressed his approval first, Raven's eyes turned to the two of us..
The time to worry wasn't long.
As long as there was a wizard in the team, there was nothing good about standing out..
‘It was the wizards who first recognized the existence of 'evil spirits' and persuaded the royal family to announce them as targets of extinction..
Seeba…….
Clearing is no longer a problem.
“I agree too..”
Let's just go half and half..
Earlier, I was impressed that he had extensive knowledge for a barbarian and moved on, but I don't know when that look will turn into suspicion..
“i refuse.”
huh?
Einar's stubborn voice attracted people's attention..
“I don’t know what’s so great about being a wizard. I wish Bjorn would lead us.”
No, I agreed, why on earth would you do that??
I want to keep my mouth shut right now, but if I do that, it will look even more suspicious..
Soon the wizard asked cautiously:.
“If it's Bjorn... You are right about this barbarian.?”
“Yes. Bjorn is no ordinary barbarian!”
“You're not an ordinary barbarian.?”
“Bjorn is a wiser warrior than anyone else. I read books at the library six hours a day, every day..”
“Hmm, you are definitely an unusual person..”
“It's not unusual, it's great! I've never seen a barbarian as smart as Bjorn!”
Seeba…….
please stop……
***
Everyone looked at me strangely when I heard Einar's praise, but it ended up being just an incident..
He seemed to think it was a barbarian attack..
at least not yet.
“Still, since it is a majority vote, there is nothing we can do, right? Hahaha!”
“What is majority rule? Does it mean that there is nothing we can do about it?!”
“uh…….”
Sensing that the mood was about to get tense again, I calmed Einar down..
But why was she so upset? Einar grinned and made a disapproving expression..
“but! Bjorn, aren’t you greater than that wizard?!”
Could it be that my previous comment about ‘for a barbarian’ offended her??
I'm not sure, but it was a good idea to have them make an 'oath' in advance..
Otherwise, the dimensional instability and the fact that I was the one who opened the rift might have been exposed..
“I am blessed to have my wife's respect. I envy you Barbarian! Hahaha!”
“Ah, a wife! i am not like that!”
“Hahaha! You don't have to be shy!”
“profit! Boo, it's not something to be ashamed of.!!”
Anyway, thanks to the talkative dwarf, Einar's aggro was diverted to another place..
I was relieved and looked at Raven's expression..
Contrary to what I feared, she wasn't showing any particular interest in me..
“Hmm, it's a barrier that you can't go outside. That's interesting. It seems like the dimension has been cut off, so how can we see the other side with our own eyes??”
Should I call it a wizard’s passion for learning?.
Looking at him muttering to himself as he writes things down in his notebook, he seems to be curious about the principle of this barrier that prevents him from leaving the map.…….
I hope that attention doesn't come to me until the moment we break up..
“How about we all stop and leave quickly? There's a lot to research to get a sample..”
“Departure? We still only know each other's names…….”
The dwarf tilted his head at the commanding Raven's words..
I also felt the same way.
A team must know what each other's abilities are and what they can do..
No matter how hastily a team is assembled, it is essential to start by revealing the core essence..
However, Raven clearly stated that this was an unnecessary action..
“Is there really a reason to do that? The monsters that appear in the Bloody Citadel are all level 7 or lower..”
A voice exuding absolute confidence.
The dwarf also showed signs of discomfort, but did not say it out loud..
Before she says another word.
“Oh, I didn't mention that. I will keep the loot from the Guardian separately. There is something to study separately..”
What kind of bitch is this without conscience??
Ha, somehow he seemed fine for a wizard..
‘Shit.’
just as expected.
Things are about to go crazy again.
