Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 280

280angry whirlpool (6)

He raised his spear high in the sky..

As soon as I saw this, this thought first bloomed..

‘No, already?’

No matter how many holes were made here and there, and in less than 3 seconds, half of the arm was cut off and a hole was made in the stomach with an arrow..

The blood is already at 40%.?

‘ah…….’

I soon raised my head to check on him and was convinced..

I don't know when he got there, but Amelia was hanging on his back with a dagger stuck in his throat..

‘If you're going to do it, hit it on the back of the head, not the neck..’

I felt that regret for a moment, but I don't think a woman like Amelia intentionally aimed for the neck..

Probably got stuck there because he was avoiding it..

I focused on other parts.

‘This is my first time seeing this skill..’

A black aura is sticking out of the hole in his neck..

Oh, is that really it??

「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Power of the Abyss].」

I can't believe you have a doppelganger essence and an auror as well as something like that. It's a miracle that I didn't break up with him until now..

Anyway, I'll think about this later..

“don't stop!”

I approached him again, giving instructions..

However, was the request too harsh for colleagues who did not know what was going on?.

Everyone was unable to concentrate on the battle and their bodies became stiff..

It's not like I couldn't understand that feeling..

「Stormgush casted [Storm Call].」

[Calling a storm].

All it does is recover MP by sucking in the surrounding wind, but with [Rain Prayer], if the surrounding area is full of rainwater, it is a skill that can be combined to recover a large amount of HP..

Yeah, that was supposed to be the end…….

There is an additional effect when raiding on this damn island..

“Wow, the water grew like a wall!!”

“It's a tsunami……!!!”

Guided by the pulling wind, the rising water rushes in like a tsunami..

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!!

Just as a rolling snowball gradually increases in size, waves crash from afar and form a wall..

“Oh, no!”

The violence of nature is so daunting that even I secretly closed my eyes..

Hehe, there’s no need to be scared about that one..

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!

Finally, violent waves crashing in from all directions engulfed us..

but…….

「A sanctuary has been created somewhere on the island.」

There was no damage.

“Uh, uh?”

“Wow, how did this happen?…….”

I don't know the detailed principles either..

When I was playing the game, I just thought they paid attention to the directing..

“Raven, light up your surroundings.!”

Soon, the seawater covered the stomach and it became dark, so we secured a light source first. Then, the environment we were in became more clearly visible..

It was a very strange feeling..

Feeling like I'm trapped in a fishbowl.

However, since the situation is urgent, the sightseeing will end here..

“Everyone get moving!! There is no chance if not now!”

When I gave the order again, my frozen colleagues quickly came to their senses and started moving..

The battle reached a new level and became more urgent than before..

「Stormgush casted [Dragon Vein].」

First, Mr. Bear was unable to avoid the air layer rising from the ground and was hit..

Still, I didn't know how much I reacted, but fortunately I was able to avoid getting hit and being thrown out of the sanctuary.…….

“Mr. Urikfrit……!”

“City, new building. Me, I’m worth holding on… Please keep helping Yandel.…….”

Mr. Bear has become incapable of fighting..

[Since there are [Hungry Claws], the wound will heal over time, but it will take a lot more minutes..

[Wow-?!]

When Mr. Bear was injured, Cheolwoong Iradun, who had somehow managed to hold on to the front line based on his regenerative ability, was soon de-summoned..

But the bad news didn’t stop there..

[The [Vortex] that springs from the hole where [Dragon Vein] was cast begins to harass us by roaming the limited space..

“You should never get hit!!”

From now on, it is correct to view [Vortex] as an instant fraud..

In this situation, the moment you get caught up in that, you will be thrown into the sea over there..

Suddenly-!

Soon, Amelia cut off the man's shaky arm with a dagger filled with aura..

Cooung.

A massive arm fell to the ground holding a trident made of bone..

Even without a weapon, he was a threat..

[Oh oh oh oh!!]

As the guy swung his left arm as if to counterattack, Partsran's stomach was torn and he fell..

Because of the [vortex] that limits movement, I was unable to dodge it as quickly as usual..

‘It's not a wound worthy of death.’

A power was lost, but I calmly glanced at it and then looked away. Isn't it one of the few advantages in this world that, as long as you're alive, you can be revived with heals or potions?…….

Tadat.

[[Worth] flew towards me across the formation, so I had no choice but to increase the distance..

At that time, Amelia's team's archer, Nebarche, was attacked..

I used a skill to avoid the [Vortex] that flew in behind me, but ended up falling in front of the monster's mouth..

‘Ah, that was a random blink.…….’

In the end, Nebarche couldn't even spit out a word and was chewed up by the guy..

Right, right, right.

The first sacrifice made in battle.

Apart from feeling sad, there was no guilt..

So who wants to use a stupid skill like [Emergency Escape] here??

Anyway, as long as our side is fine, it's okay.—

“…Ugh!”

At that time, Misha was hit..

Suddenly-!

I dodged a downward slash attack to the side, but lost my arm in return..

“Missha!”

“Well, don't worry! I can fight with just one arm!”

Can you fight with one arm?.

He followed me around and became really tough..

I couldn't tell you to stay back..

Because I can't afford it.

I just give it back with a little more emotion..

「The character casted [Swing].」

I swing my mace, making full use of the MP I saved..

The point of impact is that protruding snout..

Powok-!

He was sure he was in Eunwon, too, and he twisted his waist and lashed out at me..

Kwaang-!

Even when blocked by a shield, the impact penetrates the bone..

[Is it because the body count has skyrocketed due to the [Rain Prayer]??

When I blocked it earlier, it was just worth blocking.…….

‘Nimiral.’

Beyond the dislocation, my arm was broken while holding a shield..

When I put my arms together to put my weight on it, my ribs started to tingle..

But the heels came in right away..

「Railin Ersina casted [Healing].」

A cozy yet mysterious power that connects broken tendons and pieces of bones together like a puzzle..

This mysterious force seemed to speak to me.

If you're all better, don't rest and fight to protect your friends..

“Behel—laaaaaaa!”

a hard battle,

A fight continues that cannot be explained in such short words..

It was strong and tough, like a grade 3 monster..

Puuk.

The auror is becoming irritated.

Dozens of arrows are stuck in the shell, taking away the life force..

In a situation where the curse magic overlapped countless times, instead of regenerating, dark green bodily fluid was dripping, and the sword inserted by Misha into the eyeball was shaking..

[…….]

He kept fighting and fighting again..

As if we were evil incarnate and we were justice..

He moved his body without getting tired, and every time he moved, someone got hurt..

Most of it was me..

Kakakak.

Sharp claws tearing apart shields and armor..

Puuk!

Sometimes it burrows into my flesh..

Now, perhaps my sacred power has dropped, and healing doesn't come in at the right time..

But, so what?.

I knew I would fall before you?

hold on.

Swinging the mace without stopping, and sometimes receiving the [vortex] without dodging to save a comrade..

Hold on and hold on again.

Did about a minute pass like that?.

[Oh oh oh oh!!]

Soon he starts screaming and looks at me..

It's like asking why I don't fall down..

Yeah, you felt the same way as me..

High praise for the monster theme.

‘Please go to the next pattern now, it's a baby!’

I was filled with such feelings and struck the guy in the head with my mace..

Powok!

The guy only flinched for a moment but didn't hit anything..

but…….

Puuk.

At that moment, Amelia plunged the dagger into the man's temple..

[Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]

The guy screamed in pain..

And at the same time.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……!

A thick curtain of wind covered its body as if to protect it..

「Stormgush casted [Priest of the Storm].」

Last survival skill used when HP remains at 10%.

It was a moment I had been waiting for for such a long time..

“Raven!!!”

Until now, I had only used curse magic and called the name of the wizard who was waiting..

However, the magic had already been used..

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A vivid magic circle appears beyond the ground, scattering light..

Tadat.

Not only did he move off to the side, but he also widened the distance. It was not just me, but all of the remaining vanguards, Misha and Amelia..

Because now I know what's coming.

“Felds Askar Bier.”

Among the military magics that Raven worked so hard to learn, this is the only one created to kill powerful individuals rather than large numbers of enemies..

‘……The scope is too wide for that..’

I swallowed my saliva and looked ahead..

「Arua Raven casted the level 4 attack magic [Demon Punishment].」

A thunderous sound as if the sky was collapsing was heard from the seawater-covered ceiling..

And after 1 second.

flash-!

The whole surroundings were dyed white..

It didn't feel that dazzling.

The pure white light, which must have been refracted several times to reach this point, glowed dimly and embraced us..

and…….

Kwakwang-!

The long-awaited ‘celestial punishment’ struck the top of his head..

***

High physical resistance and anti-horsepower.

Ogre-matching strength and agility.

Although it is called the 'Ogre of the Sea' for these reasons, Stormgush's vitality itself is very low compared to that of an ogre..

Also, it is reasonable to aim for short-term combat with the skills you use. Due to the skill structure, if you go into a long-term battle with this guy, the side that attacks will be at an increasingly disadvantageous position..

So I also aimed for a short game..

Save resources and deal only with normal attacks up to 70% HP..

[Starting with [Rain of Rain], the tempo quickly increases to increase damage, and from 40% when [Storm Call] is used, extreme damage is inflicted..

10%Even skipping a phase with a single shot.

It was a pretty standard strategy..

There is no counter skill to neutralize some patterns, so the battle risk is much greater..

And since most of the resources were consumed to get to 10% HP, the wizard had to handle the finishing blow alone..

Yeah, it was a plan worth trying..

What will the result be??

Kwakwang-!

Soon, the 'Never's Punishment' in the shape of a thunderbolt broke through the seawater and struck the top of the guy's head, and I was able to see the result with my own eyes..

‘I failed.’

It was such a miserable failure that even a mental victory was not possible..

Cheeeeeeeek.

It had a steaming shell like a ripe lobster, but it was still alive and moving..

The tornado that was there as if protecting it was still there..

The cause was clear.

The timing was late and I didn't put magic in an invincible state..

‘There wasn't enough deal.’

The Ravens just lacked finishing touches..

It's been a while too.

‘I thought it was worth trying with that magic..’

Maybe it was my fault for not considering the terrain..

I wouldn't know if it was a normal environment.

As that lightning passed through the seawater, its power must have been somewhat reduced..

“Yes, I'm alive! What should I do?”

What should I do?.

Now let's go to plan B.

“What are parts? Take out the boat!”

At my shout, Pachran asked back with his belly skin torn..

“……It's a ship?”

Um, didn't I tell you plan B??

No, I said it clearly.?

Could it be that I forgot because the situation was going back and forth??

I don't like to repeat myself, but I reiterated the key points of Plan B that I mentioned earlier..

“Let's bounce!”

If we stay here, we'll all die..

***

「The energy of the storm begins to fill Stormgush's body..」

「Stormgush is temporarily immune to all damage..」

「10%.」

「20%.」

「3…….」

「…….」

***

We ended up coming up with Plan B, but there are many positive aspects..

no one died.

Although one archer from Noark had a lucky day today..

Also, Misha's arm was cut off, Einar fainted, and Mr. Bear was also seriously injured..

everyone survived.

Okay, this is it..

“Ah, pear……!”

Soon, Plan B came to mind for Parts rando, so I hurriedly adjusted the subspace ring for ship storage..

But did you suddenly have that question??

“Ha, but if you take out the boat in this situation... Wow!”

While he was asking questions, he coughed up blood..

However, his doubts continued through Raven's lips..

“Mr. Partsran is right. How can I keep the boat afloat when everything is covered with water??”

How to float.

“Don't you remember? That guy's ship was made of 'Artene'..”

Artene wood is the highest quality ship material..

It was so hard that it had so much buoyancy that even the life jacket made me cry. Even if you just put the boat in the water, it will float to the top on its own..

“What are you doing, Mr. Partsran? Without taking the boat out quickly!”

Soon, as Raven urged him, Pachran caressed the torn belly skin and summoned the boat..

A boat large enough to accommodate ten people..

I put the unconscious Einar and the injured Mr. Bear on the boat and tied them to a pole with a rope..

“What are you doing? Hurry up and tie yourself up too. If you just go, you might fall..”

“Ah yes!”

Those who could afford to take care of themselves tied themselves with rope and secured themselves..

At that time, Misha asked me, holding the severed arm tightly with one hand. Well, I tied it up well with a rope, so there's no need to hold it that tightly.…….

“Bjorn, I have something to tell you..”

huh? talk?

“let's do that later.”

“but…….”

“why? don't you trust me?”

Misha stopped at my words and made a small fuss..

“believer.”

Okay, then preparations for departure are complete..

“……But how do we get there??”

When everyone on board boarded the ship, Raven looked at me in great confusion..

‘Uh, that too.’

How does a ship summoned to land set sail?.

It was a difficulty I hadn't thought about when making my plan..

but…….

‘If you didn't think about it, it's probably because you didn't need to think about it.?’

Hmm, I guess so too..

As soon as I hear those words, I see my body moving naturally..

“Well, what are you doing? There's no way I'm trying to lift this whole ship……?”

Well, if you know, just stay still..

People lose their strength.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

He let out a scream that was almost like a scream and lifted his stomach with both arms. And then I took a long stride and headed towards the water..

Because it seems like it would be difficult for me to hold it for long..

“Everyone hold their breath.”

He gave his last advice and put the boat into the sea..

“good.”

As a ship made of wood with strong buoyancy, the ship began to soar quickly as soon as it entered the water..

[I turned on the [Priest of the Storm] mode, so there won't be much of a problem after going up..

Because there won't be a whirlpool like before..

In fact, escape by boat was not blocked at this stage in the game..

‘……gone.’

Only when the ship was out of sight did I turn my back..

There was only one colleague who decided to stay here today... … No, should I say comrade in arms? Anyway, Amelia was looking at me with her curious eyes..

“You really care about a colleague so much..”

“Because they are small and precious..”

“……Right.”

Come to think of it, he has a habit of answering most questions with 'I see'. What's annoying is that no matter how many times you hear it, it's hard to tell what 'I see' means..

I decided to just say what I had to say..

“You were truly unexpected. I can't believe you're so willing to take on this role..”

Our mission now is bait..

Once this guy finishes charging, he starts using AoE indiscriminately, and this isn't the kind of thing that can be blocked with a shield..

It was clear that weak magicians, priests, and wounded warriors would not last even a few seconds..

Therefore, when we reached this stage, we decided to move on to plan B and retreat..

But unfortunately I couldn't go to all of them..

If someone doesn't take the time, this guy will chase us, splashing his tail..

Even if I die on a boat at sea, I can't beat this guy..

“Because it’s this kind of role…….”

Amelia chuckled..

“Definitely not something I would do..”

He seemed to admit that he looked strange..

Then why did he want to stay??

“But I'm the type of person who can't live with debt..”

Wow, it was really because of this..

I was truly impressed..

I can't believe you showed such loyalty by saving me from death once.?

Isn’t this just a personality that’s easy to use?.

‘If I get a chance in the future, I'll have to rack up some debt..’

“what? Those eyes just now?”

“Oh, did you get caught? I was thinking highly of you because you value promises..”

“……Empty words.”

Amelia frowned in displeasure..

“It's okay, so don't look at me like that. The escape method you mentioned seemed obvious, and if I hadn't figured out that it was worth a try, I would never have stayed..”

“Um, I see..”

“Barbarian, what does that mean??”

“that… … . Ah, it seems like it's slowly coming to an end..”

Soon, when I shifted my gaze, Amelia also stopped chatting and stared at the front..

「90%.」

The whirlwind surrounding it was gradually fading away..

This means that the final phase is about to begin..

Wow.

I put strength into the hand holding the mace..

Did you feel something ominous about this??

“Wait a minute, the original plan was to just hold on and then escape.?”

Amelia questioned my belligerent appearance..

Therefore, I also tilted my head..

“……Even though I'm trying to hold on?”

“……Then it would be more efficient to put away the mace and only use a shield.?”

huh? What does he keep saying??

What does this have to do with that??

I said firmly.

“Mace is a great defense tool!”

As I always say, the best defense is offense..

Especially if you're dealing with someone who's almost completely lost..

“So, take up arms too! Don't just kill time by dodging foolishly.!”

“…….”

“After all, isn’t Misha’s life saved?!”

“…………Right.”

We will not tolerate sabotage..
