Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 322
322angry role (2)
“Sister, you have to go back quickly.……!”
“Didn't you see it? She's a woman who uses auras. The man named Rüchenfrah is an even bigger monster than that..”
“but……!”
“Looking back, there is nothing we can change. This is a reasonable choice.”
Amelia gritted her teeth as Laura grabbed her arm and ran towards her as if she was dragging her..
For some reason, I felt like crying.
“Reasonable choice… … ? it's crazy? How can it be a rational choice for my sister to die and for me to live?!!”
As Amelia threw away her arms with all her might, Laura, who was ahead, also stopped running..
Laura sighed..
“Amelia, listen to your sister today. Time to be like this—”
“What is that! Don't say it like it's the last time……!”
“……It's not like that.”
“Or what is it? Why are you just running away without even thinking about going back and doing something??!”
“Because the one who does this is more likely to survive!”
Laura shouted as if she were angry at her disobedient younger brother, and continued speaking rapidly..
“Emily, she didn't kill Felix Barker. She used numbing needles. She even stopped by as if she had some business to do. She doesn't plan on killing her right now. Actually, I'm still alive and well..”
“ah…….”
Amelia let out an exclamation without realizing it..
Even in the midst of that urgent situation, you thought about all of these things and made your decision..
“I'm anxious, but this is still the best. Rather than attacking that woman for no reason and getting killed, there is a better chance this way..”
“…….”
“Now, if you understand, please follow me..”
Laura resumed her movement as if this was a waste of time, and Amelia hurriedly followed suit..
How long has it been like that?.
Sister Lane Wales encountered some familiar faces.
“uh? Laura, Amelia? Are you alive??”
“……Durbon.”
The clan members ran away leaving Felix Barker behind..
Something had happened in the meantime, or maybe they had dispersed, so only half of the people were there..
“Hey, welcome back. You guys are lucky. We were just about to escape this city on our own..”
“yes… … ? Escape??”
“Can't you tell when you see it? Lüchenprague, what does it mean that that person came out of the East? Everything is sorted out there, and he's going to attack Seongju, right? This city is already over.”
After Durbon's explanation was over, the two men next to him grumbled as if they were getting chills..
“Traitor, he is not a man. Have you seen his expression not change while slaughtering dozens of people? I still get goosebumps thinking about what I saw earlier..”
“They say if a traitor sticks out his tongue, he's really mad..”
“If this city falls into his hands, our heads attached to Seongju will be cut off..”
It was a sudden suggestion, but Laura calmly asked for the information she needed to confirm..
“But how do you plan to escape? At the front gate—”
“Yes, the gatekeeper is on guard. But it looks like there is a hidden side road. I heard that the upper part of the melta is used to go back and forth to the ground. Does this guy know about that place??”
“……okay.”
“Do you want to go together??”
Laura accepted the offer without looking further..
“I'm going.”
“Uh, sister?”
Originally, the plan was to go to the relatively safe West and hide out until the situation was over..
But this is a different story.
Because if he dies, his younger brother will have to be left alone in this world. Because I wanted at least my younger brother to live a human life..
Maybe this was my last chance.
“Oh, and I'll tell you in advance, instead of taking me away—”
“I know. If something dangerous happens, I will step in..”
“Okay, okay... As expected, we communicate well..”
The man nodded as if he was embarrassed, and then he led the group and started moving..
* * *
Shiny silver hair.
White skin.
Knight's armor with the royal family symbol and a long sword about 1.5 times larger than the normal size..
I had never met him, but I knew him well..
‘Jerome St. Red.’
The leader of the 1st Royal Knights and the strongest member of the royal family with the nickname 'Knight of Light'..
The question is why is this bastard here now?.
He never came up in the story Amelia told me.…….
“Give me the fragment stone of the record..”
Still, thanks to this one word, I was able to get a rough picture of the situation..
Why is the Knight of Light, who should be clearing out the East by now, here?.
The answer to the reason was very clear..
The royal family's purpose was not to exterminate Orculis..
‘Fight... It'll be hard to win.’
He is of a different class from Rick Omanus, whom he faced on the stairs earlier. Of course, you will have reached level 5, the maximum level that can be raised with the 'elixir' that knights drink.…….
By the time you become a leader, you will have completed not only the level 6 breakthrough event but also the level 7 awakening..
Even this is not the end.
‘Considering the royal family's wealth, it would be assumed that all seven essences are at least level 3..’
It falls behind in the number of integers and average rating..
Not to mention the difference in stats, the roles are also at a disadvantage between tank and knight..
However, if we can find a corner to rub…….
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
It must be equipment.
Double number items have a low-level indestructible option by default..
Kwaang-!
I caught the sword that was swung without a word with a hammer..
Hehe, this is my first time fighting like this..
The basic strategy was to always block with a shield first and then hit with a weapon..
“……?”
He frowned when he saw me taking the blow..
As a knight who can cut down anything, he doesn't seem to have expected that his sword would get blocked midway.…….
“for a moment.”
After the blow, I took advantage of the moment that arose to talk..
I don't think it will work, but there's no harm in trying.?
“Isn't there some misunderstanding? A fragment of a record? i don't know anything like that.”
“You're playing with your tongue. I heard testimony that you came up from the underground and headed here..”
Hmm, that's right…….
The strategy of looking at the wrong person didn't work either..
However, useful information came from an unexpected place..
“but… He may have taken it without knowing what it was. Fragments of records... Give me the necklace the lord was wearing..”
A way of speaking that seems to have a corner to dig into somewhere.
“If the lord was wearing it, could it be that he is referring to this necklace??”
Just in case, I pointed to the necklace I was wearing and asked, and he nodded..
“Yeah, I promise there won't be any unnecessary bloodshed if you hand over that stuff..”
It was a big catch.
That's because the fragment stone of the record was embedded in subspace a long time ago..
‘Boy, you don't know what a record fragment is..’
What I'm wearing right now is an ordinary necklace..
The entire effect is to reduce the casting time when wizards wear it by embedding a large refining stone..
For your information, I secretly embezzled it during a raid in the past and have been wearing it like an accessory.…….
‘This is how I write it.’
People are animals that can communicate?
As expected, it was good to talk to him..
Tduduk.
First, I pulled the necklace with force and broke it..
“Well, there's nothing I can't give you if you want. I brought it with me anyway, thinking of it as a souvenir..”
“souvenir?”
“Isn’t the name Seongju? He told us to go out and fight, but he followed him to hide in the basement, and found that he had nothing to take with him other than this necklace..”
“Hmm, was it just about money?.”
He listened to me and muttered as if he understood..
Apparently, he went to look for the castle owner and saw Rick Omanus stripped of all his equipment..
“Isn’t it obvious that this is the purpose of people like us? Of course, seeing as what someone like you wants, this necklace seems to be quite valuable... … . No matter how you look at it, it's not worth risking your life on..”
Most people who talk long are clever..
However, this young knight who only ate and seemed to have only swung his sword did not find me suspicious..
I just look at you with disdain.
“That's enough explanation, just give it to me..”
“Ah, but I need coverage before that..”
“guarantee?”
“Give me this and I guarantee you'll let me go.”
“I break my promise—”
What do you say, this is a knight who knows the honor of losing??
If I really didn't know how to lie, I wouldn't be here in the first place. Because Seongju didn't know that he had been deceived by the royal family until the moment he fell..
thus…….
‘jump.’
Break the window on the wall and jump high..
4As I jumped up from the floor, my body rose and I could see a clear view of the city, with Yeongju Castle at the center..
The eastern part, where the battle took place, was burning brightly, while the western part was relatively calm..
However, without even a moment to look at this leisurely,.
pot-!
A light flashed behind him and he appeared..
It was a skill that could be seen just by looking at the effect..
[gateway of light]
3It is a class essence, and is actually the highest tier among mobile devices..
A morale skill that specifies a location rather than a half-baked teleportation to a random location..
Hehe, it's been a while..
Before raising a barbarian, I often ate this too..
“Did you think you could run away?.”
As soon as I turned my back in the air, the guy swung his sword, and this time I blocked it with my hammer..
Oh, it's urgent.
I didn't say I wouldn't keep my promise..
‘Anyway, this is my first time in a dogfight..’
The recoil from blocking the sword pushes the body back in the air once more..
As a result, the distance between the guy and the guy increases..
pot-!
The moment he closed the distance with [Gateway of Light] again, I threw away the necklace I was holding with all my might..
“……!”
He quickly stretched out his hand, but it wasn't far enough to grab the necklace..
For a moment, I saw concern in his gaze..
I was contemplating whether to kill myself here or not..
Thanks to you, I realized one thing.
‘It's a shame not to break your promise.’
From the beginning, he planned to kill me as soon as I gave him the necklace..
I guess it was because they wanted to eliminate witnesses or something like that..
Well, it seemed like he had no intention of continuing his stubbornness even in this situation..
puck-!
I kicked the guy in the stomach who was distracted by the necklace..
He didn't even utter a moan..
But there was nothing to regret.
Because that wasn't the purpose in the first place..
Huh-!
The distance widens again according to the laws of physics.
Even as he was falling down, he looked at me and asked.
“……what's your name?”
A voice that conveys the emotion of meeting someone who is purely curious..
When I heard this, I thought.
why should i tell you that?
“Are you an asshole??”
Oh, I already said it..
“……what?”
For a moment, I thought it was a mistake, but he didn't take the [Gateway of Light] towards me again..
That's because there is a maximum number of times it can be used at one time..
3From the first episode, you have to wait for the cooldown..
pot-!
Soon, his body was wrapped in light and disappeared from sight. Without even looking far, I saw it appear in the direction I threw the necklace..
‘Okay, I just got rid of this bastard.…….’
Next, when I used 'Transcendent Leap', I felt as if I had an invisible platform at my toes, and when I kicked it with all my might, my body shot out in a straight line like an arrow..
Destination approaching at high speed.
‘Doing this makes me feel like Superman.’
I chuckled and replayed the brief dogfight that had just occurred..
The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt..
‘It's not some kind of dragon ball.’
I need to quickly become stronger or something..
* * *
Cemetery located outside Noark Castle.
Kwaang-!
I fell into the center and performed a fall technique as soon as I landed..
So to put it simply…….
“Wow!!”
It means that all the monuments were smashed and rolled around for a long time..
“……Oh, I almost fell..”
Although it went directly from Yeongju Castle, located in the middle of the city, to the outskirts, the price was certain..
Is it because I accelerated from a high place and hit it hard??
Beyond the tingling in my legs, I feel a surge of electricity running through my bones..
Considering my pain tolerance, I actually had a seizure..
‘……Still, you don't have to use the potion..’
-40 Natural Regeneration penalty on Ogre Essence.
In the past, because of this, the wound barely healed if I didn't take the potion.…….
The total amount of natural regeneration obtained from the Essence of the Stormgush consumed this time and the Immortal Imprint far exceeds the penalty, and minor injuries can now be healed quickly with just acupuncture..
Sigh.
After a short rest, I stood up..
I looked around and soon found the place I was looking for..
Well, I visited before..
A passage high and wide for a carriage to pass through, with huge tombstones hidden beneath them..
The first thing I saw was a corpse..
‘He's the cemetery manager..’
He, who had been residing here under the name of a manager and acting as a guard for the secret passage, was dead with a body full of knife marks..
‘I slept for six hours, so Laura must have passed a long time ago... … . By this time, Amelia would have joined them..’
I felt like I could get there before the incident was over if I followed along quickly, so I walked quickly and entered the passage..
No, to be exact, it was the car that was about to enter..
‘……huh?’
I stopped walking.
plod, trudge.
I saw an old man in smart clothes walking across the aisle..
Exciting.
As soon as I made eye contact with the old man, my heart started pounding..
At the same time, it felt like I was dreaming..
The old man looked at me and said hello..
“Hehe, nice to meet you.”
It was Auril Gavis..
