Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 294
294Tuesday newbie (2)
They were probably on guard to some extent..
Because there is no information on how strong the newcomer is..
So, they must have gathered in a group of more than ten people like this..
Thank you so much.
“Take it off.”
“……?”
“Before I get blood on me.”
The moment my words echoed through the alley, the guy looked like he couldn't understand..
But, did the situation soon make sense?.
“…….”
Everyone kept their mouths shut, including him..
It's common in the world of beasts..
When the prey runs away, I chase it because I think it is weaker than I am, but when it comes out stronger, I instinctively feel that something is wrong..
Knowing from experience.
It's dangerous.
Sigh.
The guys who were slowly narrowing their pace widened the distance behind them and were alert to a surprise attack..
didn't mean much to me.
alley blocked by a wall.
It's cramped on the sides, so there's not even enough space to use [Giant].…….
‘rather good.’
There's nothing to disturb from above.
‘jump.’
In one fell swoop, I flew over their heads and landed on the other side..
Okay, I blocked the escape route with this..
“……Kill this guy first!”
They panicked and rushed towards me..
It seems they decided that since the escape route was suddenly blocked, they had to clear this first.…….
Huh-!
You guys are good at avoiding it..
“Don't block, avoid!”
“There is no one suitable for this kind of slow thing.?”
The three people in front of me dodged my mace like loaches and swung their own weapons..
Most attacks were withstood due to physical resistance, but some attacks containing skills succeeded in penetrating the thick leather..
Puuk.
Oh, it will sting..
[Even if [Giant] had been turned on, there wouldn't have been a single drop of blood..
Well, I guess ‘defense’ isn’t the only way to protect myself..
‘transcendence.’
Raise the mace upward and enter the command in your head..
[The target to be designated as [transcendence] is naturally determined..
‘swing.’
‘This combo is effective when dealing with many enemies thanks to the addition of the 'hit range increases 3 times' attribute..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
As soon as he slams the mace down on the floor, the mace grows longer and larger like a female baton..
[Although it was a much smaller scope than when linked with [Giantization],…….
“Me, crazy……!”
“damage!”
Where to escape?
In this narrow alley.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaaaaang.-!
They quickly retreated, but the three in front couldn't get out of range..
Oh, I feel refreshed inside.
plod.
As I moved forward, crossing over the trio who had turned into minced meat, they retreated..
It's like a ghost looking for someone to go in..
“female! get the girl!”
They rushed at Amelia, stretching out their hands and brandishing weapons, as if they were planning to take hostages..
Of course there was no way to reach it..
Puck, puck, coo.-!
Amelia, who quickly subdued two people with punches and kicks, pulled out a dagger from her thigh and swung the dagger at the head of another person's neck..
Although the opponent also defended himself by raising his steel-guarded wrist.…….
Suddenly-!
Would that work on a woman who knows how to use auras?.
Tuk. fighting.
The cleanly severed wrist and head fell to the floor almost simultaneously and rolled..
and…….
“Oh, what an auror?…….”
This was the end of the battle.
The moment Amelia used her aura, everyone just put down their weapons. He realized with every fiber of his being that she was an opponent he could not handle and decided to risk his life on her mercy..
Yes, it's too late.
“Please save me. I'll give you everything I have…….”
“What should I do??”
“Of course I kill you.”
Amelia answered my question without any hesitation. Those who fell flat on their faces quickly picked up their weapons and fought back.…….
“die!”
No, will that work?.
Looking at it, it seems like everyone is only about 6th grade on average..
Perok, Kwasik.
Suddenly!
Amelia and I quickly cleared out the living creatures like a two-person marauder party that had been together for a long time..
Total time taken was about 5 minutes..
‘The dealer is strong so it’s reliable..’
A sense of security that I have never felt from any team before..
How can I not put this guy on the team later??
Even with that thought in mind, I quickly moved my hands and continued farming corpses..
It was in the meantime.
“Ugh…….”
As I was taking off the lithium breastplate that I had been eyeing from the beginning, the guy flinched and trembled..
What, I was passed out?
Powok-!
After hitting the back of his head, I asked Amelia..
“But why did this guy faint??”
“……Didn’t you say earlier that you don’t like anything stained with blood?.”
ah…….
“Thank you?”
“…….”
“Hehehehe.”
There was an awkward situation for a moment, but after a few more minutes, the farming was roughly over..
Somehow farming takes longer than combat.
Still, the return on labor was higher than ever before..
‘If sold on the ground, it would be worth 70 million stones..’
My heart swelled as I took a quick look at the loot before stuffing it into my expandable backpack..
This is the result I got after a few minutes of fighting.?
‘Who would have guessed that there was a hunting ground like this hidden underground?.’
Maybe Noark might be a good place to live..
***
Clap.
After putting on the lithium breastplate, he put on the same set he was wearing, including gaiters and miscellaneous equipment..
The size was perfect, just like the breastplate..
If you're a warrior, whether it's a barbarian or something else, your armor should fit properly..
“Then move slowly.”
“Oh yeah.”
I was uncomfortable with the gaze of nearby residents through the curtained windows, so I quickly left the alley and entered the main street..
Then, I followed Amelia and looked around comfortably. A reasonable judgment that if you show off that you are a rookie, you may get another opportunity to farm..
Well, I guess so.…….
“Is there any follow-up??”
“does not exist.”
Even after walking for a while, no one takes the bait..
“Is it still there??”
“……does not exist.”
How did this happen??
When he cautiously expressed his regret, Amelia sighed as if asking, “What kind of person is this?”.
“Noark is a small place, so rumors spread quickly..”
Ah, since all the guys who followed us didn't come back, there's no way they'd rush in like they did before..
“……Ugh.”
I sat down with a painful expression, clutching my chest..
Amelia was startled and lowered her posture..
“Are you hurt? There was clearly no trauma earlier, but it could not have been poison.?”
As Amelia rushed to give her the antidote, I whispered softly..
“Don't worry. I'm pretending to be hurt..”
“………what?”
“If this happens, won’t you come again?.”
“Barbarian, you really are…….”
Amelia's eyes seemed to show disgust, so she quickly stood up..
Tsk, he enjoys farming too..
This is how you give people peace of mind..
“Please hurry and follow me. If it's any later, I might have to sleep outside today..”
“I get it.”
Anyway, after moving to the center of the city, we found a place to stay nearby..
Oh, of course we had one room instead of two..
If they are targeting us while the rumor is spreading, they must be capable of that level of skill.?
“Fortunately, there are several beds..”
“All accommodations in Noark are like this, so there is nothing to be surprised about..”
“huh?”
“Because there is no one in this city who comes to a place like this and sleeps alone..”
From what I've heard, it seems that unless you start a family and buy a house, it's common for most people to live together with co-workers.…….
I understand it to some extent..
If you want to live in a place like this, it would be safest to travel in groups..
“Yandel, you wash first. Meanwhile I'm organizing my loot.”
“Oh, I'll be out soon..”
After washing her body in order, Amelia went into the bathroom, and then we had some time to talk..
“What to do with the loot??”
“For now, I'm not going to sell it, I'm going to keep it. Selling it on the ground later is three times more expensive..”
“There's a lot more difference than I thought.?”
“It is natural that supply is overwhelmingly greater than demand..”
Well, I guess so..
Because looters mine more equipment than magic stones..
“But I heard it a while ago and it seems like there is a top that goes between above ground and underground. Can't I just hand it over to them??”
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. When I said it was three times more expensive, I meant the price when I passed it to the top..”
“……Right.”
“So, if you need something, use it without thinking about selling it. Because this city is like that.”
Anyway, this is the end of the conversation regarding the disposal of loot..
After that, we got to the point..
“So what do we do now??”
First of all, the entry into Noark was successful as planned..
And there are two goals we must achieve here:.
1. Steal the ‘Fragment Stone of Records’ kept by the castle lord and return to the original era..
2. Amelia's wish comes true.
Actually, I didn't say it, but in case 2, it will be difficult to achieve. For this woman's wish to come true, her past must change..
‘Judging by his stiff expression at that time, it seems like he was aware of this to some extent.…….’
So, what decision will Amelia make?.
“Why are you asking that??”
“I wonder if you might have changed your mind.”
Amelia spoke without the slightest hesitation in response to my naturally virtuous answer..
“You're saying something strange. There is no change in the plan.”
Okay, so you're not giving up..
***
Even in the underground city of Noark, day and night exist..
However, there is no dawn or dusk..
During activity time, the jewels embedded in the ceiling emit light, and at night time, the output switches to minimum..
And in that sense…….
“It's daytime.”
We spent the night, and as soon as it got bright outside the window, we went out into the street..
That alone made me feel like it was an unfamiliar city..
It is not a common sight to see doors opening in all buildings and people pouring out as soon as daylight comes..
“Stop looking and come here. If you are late, you have to wait for a long time..”
“Ah, I got it..”
Afterwards, the place we arrived at with Amelia was Yeongju Castle located in the center of Noark..
Unlike when I saw it from afar yesterday, the large castle gate was wide open, accepting numerous people..
“Why is everyone going that way??”
“Because most of the jobs are in Yeongju Castle. Those who do not enter the labyrinth do their assigned work there and receive wages for living..”
Well, this is not a communist country..
Well, because they survived in a place like this, all the people from Noark must be so stubborn..
[Labyrinth Management Office]
We soon arrived at our destination and entered the building..
The interior was similar to an explorer's guild..
What I actually did wasn't much different..
“See you later then.”
“Oh yeah.”
To save time, we looked for a short line..
In Noark, there was more work to be done than expected to enter the labyrinth..
First of all, if you are a new person who has just entered the city, not only do you have to register separately, but it looks like you also have to pay a separate entrance fee each time you enter the labyrinth.…….
‘How is this place more evil than Lapdonia?.’
It's absurd to think that Noark's origins were the 'Ormi Revolutionary Group', which called for the overthrow of the royal family..
‘By the way, when does the line get shorter? If this is going to be the case, why not make a number tag like Lafdonia did? What are you doing gathering all the people and lining them up?.’
It was a time when I stood in line for over 30 minutes, internally complaining about the slow processing and outdated system..
“Oh, brother! Looking at the registration form, I guess he's a newbie.?”
A group of five explorers approached me groggily..
And pretending to be friendly, he put his hand on my shoulder..
“But we're busy, so can you give us the turn? huh? Now we're all from the same camp. We should help each other.”
I couldn't understand the situation for a moment..
‘what?’
Are you adding sleeves again??
