Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 318
318angry memory (3)
“Holy shit!”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I straightened up..
It was cloudy in front of me and I could smell an acrid scent through my nose..
And it was particularly noisy outside the window..
“Those on the streets will be considered traitors. Everyone go into the building.!”
Intimidating shouts coming from everywhere.
“Wow!!”
Occasionally there would be a scream, and a 'Kwaaaaang!' from afar. Every time a loud noise erupted, a slight vibration was transmitted through the bed..
If so, what kind of situation is this?.
need information.
thus…….
plod, trudge.
I forced my weak body to move towards the window. The moment I opened the window wide, black smoke came in and I coughed dryly..
“Cough, Cough.”
While coughing, I glanced out the window..
Soldiers were roaming the smoky streets controlling the citizens..
and…….
‘There's a real fire.’
A city engulfed in fire came into view in the distance..
It was the eastern region, which was also the home of Orculis..
Although it is quite far from the current location, as it is an underground city with poor ventilation, when a large fire broke out, the entire city was filled with smoke.…….
Quang! Kwaaang-!
Judging by the artificial roar that erupts intermittently, it does not appear to be a simple fire..
“It's going to turn... What kind of situation is this?.”
I pressed my throbbing head with my hand..
I feel like my head is spinning several times slower than usual. Maybe she was a remnant of the poison Amelia fed me with hers..
‘Yes, I took poison.…….’
I suddenly came to my senses, and what happened before I lost consciousness came back to me like a panorama..
‘What on earth is he thinking? Where has it gone now??’
I don't know.
But the more I did it, the more I focused on one thing..
It was the same as the day I first woke up in this body..
All that aside, what do I need to do right now?.
The answer came quickly.
“a drawer.”
Amelia told me to open the drawer..
Maybe there is an explanation for this situation.
I closed the window and headed to the side of the bed..
Thankfully, only a note with a few lines was left in the already open drawer of the nightstand..
“under…….”
A note that started with a short apology saying that I was sorry..
It didn't take long to read the whole thing, and as soon as I finished, I tore the note to shreds..
Even after that, my anger didn't go away..
‘I never would have thought that D-day was today.’
Amelia tricked me..
It wasn't written in the note, but the reason was obvious..
The purpose was probably to prevent me from interfering with the past any further. Then, it might have been a judgment that the future might change..
‘Ha, I didn't know he was a character who behaved unexpectedly like this.…….’
The back of my head felt tingly, but I tried to suppress my feelings and checked the time..
[04 :31]
four thirty in the morning.
It was a little after 10pm when I drank with Amelia, so I was asleep for about 6 hours..
‘Well, then what should we do?…….’
I closed my eyes for a moment and collected my thoughts..
The note left behind by Amelia said that she would do the rest on her own, and that when she woke up, she should go back and find the record fragment stone..
Looking at the state of the city, it doesn't seem difficult to infiltrate Yeongju Castle..
but…….
‘It's funny. Well then, I guess I'll stay here alone.?’
I don't like this method either..
However, contrary to those feelings, I also have this thought..
What happens if I really don't do anything??
So will the future change in some way??
“……Okay, let's just get over it for now..”
I ended my worries there..
And quickly put on the equipment..
Since time is running out, I decided it would be enough to think about the rest while I was moving..
I profit.
I quickly headed to Yeongju Castle..
***
acrid smoke.
And after passing through the soldiers who were busy controlling the civilians on the streets, I soon arrived at Yeongju Castle..
However, the castle gate, which was already tightly closed, could not be opened even by the forces of the castle lord..
“The Lord of the castle gave instructions not to allow anyone inside. And since when was the order to convene in the first place, it has arrived now??”
“……was sleeping.”
“Then, move to the eastern region now. I checked and found that the clan you belong to has already gone on a campaign a while ago..”
Ha, bother.
“I get it. Good luck.”
Without any regrets, I turned my back and walked out of front of the castle gate..
Just because the door is closed doesn't mean there's no way in anyway..
Barbarians don't ask for permission.
‘There's smoke, you can't see it like this.’
After moving along the castle wall for a while, I made sure that no one was around, so I [jumped] high and jumped over the castle wall..
However, unfortunately, there was a person just beyond it..
“Who, who are you?!”
A soldier is scared when he sees me falling from the sky while on patrol..
Powok-!
I quickly made it quiet before it got noisy and ran towards the inner room..
Just as Amelia said that on the day of the wedding, it would be like an empty house, there were no people in the castle that could pose a threat..
Just patrolling soldiers.
Probably by now the kernels are fighting against the forces in the eastern region occupied by Orculis..
“enemy!”
Powok-!
“the enemy has invaded!”
Powok-!
Thanks to this, I quickly skipped this section.
But the problem started with tolerance..
Kwaaang-!
The moment I broke down the inner room door and entered the first floor alone, explorers with vicious expressions surrounded me..
‘Yes, no matter how empty the house is, this much is left behind.?’
Elite troops awarded knighthood.
Having been in and out of Yeongju Castle countless times over the past few months, I have met some of them..
“……Iron Mask, why are you here? Not in the eastern part of the country where the fighting is taking place.?”
“Oh, I have something to talk about with the lord for a moment..”
“I never would have guessed that you were Orculis's henchman..”
A gangster whose name I can't quite remember glared at me with eyes full of anger, as if he had been betrayed by a trusted colleague..
I didn't feel any remorse at all..
Not only am I not Orculis' stooge,…….
In the first place, I never thought of these guys as colleagues..
“Okay, go for it!.”
“I don't know why you crawled all the way here alone, but this is your place.—”
What do you say, at best they are level 5 idiots.
I told you to attack me, so you just keep talking..
If you don't come, I'll go..
Kwaang-!
Without wasting time with meaningless conversation, I immediately turned on [Giantization] and [leap] into the middle of their formation..
and…….
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
[Thanks to [Giantization], the hammer, which is already a monster in size, was made about three times larger by combining [Transcendence] and [Swing].—
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
I swung the hammer and spun like a top..
It's called Whirlwind.
[It was taken from the game I liked the most before I got addicted to [Dungeon & Stone].…….
The feature is that you can enjoy a cool hitting sensation and sound while the body rotates..
Just like this.
Kwakwakwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The glass bodies burst like balloons the moment they were hit by the hammer, and some with solid bodies flew straight into the wall..
It was an expected result.
Because the hammer I'm holding right now is not a normal weapon..
‘I definitely raised him to be a tank, but somehow it's now a setup that does better damage than a tank..’
No.87 Crowl's Demon Crusher.
Double number item with 500% damage increase option when using blunt weapon skills.
Simply put, just holding this weapon increases the power of [Swing], a grade 3 skill, by five times..
But there is no way there is someone who can survive this.
Oh, of course, there is no point in avoiding it..
“What the heck…….”
As soon as I swung the hammer, the people who had escaped the anger by falling flat on the floor looked up at me with dumbfounded faces..
Among them, there was one who came to his senses and fought back..
arrow.
fire.
Lightning.
ax.
I chuckled as I checked their weapons..
‘How is it that no one uses a sword?.’
That's the funny thing about Noark..
Just because you're a knight doesn't mean you know how to use Aurors..
A true knight who was recognized for his loyalty and received a title, and who even knows how to use an Auror, is probably one out of a hundred..
‘As expected, all those kids were taken to the front line..’
From then on, battles were fought by striking each person manually with a hammer..
Even warriors whose bodies were covered in heavy armor couldn't come to their senses right away and lay down on the floor after activating the 50% armor penetration option with 'slash down'..
Did about 5 minutes pass like that??
The battle ended with the remaining few fleeing..
I didn't necessarily follow him to catch him, and I skipped rooting..
I don't even have time for that…….
I had been piling up loot in the subspace ring for several months, but now there is no room left..
‘……Ha, I have to get this hammer back somehow..’
While thinking about that, I quickly resumed my movement..
The destination is not the upper floor where the lord's study or office is, but the underground shelter that Amelia told me about..
ta da da dat.
I barely found the stairs leading down to the basement and almost ran down them before stopping..
It's because someone was coming up from below..
“I wondered what the commotion was up above.…….”
Coincidentally, it was someone I had met once before..
The knight who came to recruit us under the lord's instructions..
So, the name is…….
“Iron Mask, why are you here??”
Rick Omanus.
He looked at me and drew his sword..
***
I accidentally took a wrong turn.
I didn't even have time to make that excuse..
Huh-!
His judgment was so quick that as soon as he saw me, he imbued his sword with aura and was ready to enter battle at any time..
The next attempt was to start a conversation..
“Answer me, Iron Mask. the reason you are here And even more so, how did you know about this place?.”
To answer your question, Amelia told me.
No one may know about the underground shelter now, but in the future they won't..
“I won't answer, right??”
My heart started beating violently at those words..
Exciting-
‘‘Knight’ is like a counter to tanks..
Tanks are strong but slow, but Aurors ignore defense. Even tanks have low damage, making it difficult to inflict damage to knights..
You can tell just by looking at the battle with the knight-turned-marauder with the nickname ‘Snake Knight’ that we met in the Crystal Cave..
My arm was cut off like tofu..
All I did was take advantage of the gap and rush in and cling to it like a cicada..
The main factor in the victory was Raven's magic..
Exciting-!
Even now, the situation is completely different from then..
One-on-one structure with no companions.
I haven't even touched on the Aura preparation settings yet..
but…….
Exciting-!
The heart rate becomes shorter, and the hand holding the weapon becomes stronger..
Physical changes were not caused by fear.
It's natural to feel this much tension before a battle..
“Okay, so you're not going to answer?.”
“…….”
“First, cut your arm.”
Soon Rick Omanus took the plunge..
i answered.
“Do it if you can.”
Yes, it's time to catch a knight..
