Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 36

“Hey! Mr. Yandel! Come to your senses!”
The car where Raven shook Bjorn's shoulder.
Colleagues who had fainted woke up one by one..
“Miss Raven? What on earth is going on?…….”
“Bjorn! Is Bjorn dead??!”
“miss! Glad you're safe…….”
Questions blooming everywhere.
The only one who could answer was Raven..
That's right, she didn't faint.
“The vampire is dead. Mr. Yandel is alive. Tarjin, I don't mind, so please stop yelling at me.?”
“That's amazing! Killing a vampire with one magic blow?!”
She pursed her lips as she listened to Murad's exclamation. For some reason, I felt resentful..
It wasn't 'Sunspot Ball' that killed the vampire..
In terms of contribution, it's not like she doesn't have any merit.…….
“…It's not me, it's Mr. Yandel..”
“what does it mean?”
“It was Mr. Yandel who killed the vampire..”
Murad frowned..
“No, this friend?”
I saw him the other day and praised him, calling him 'special' and a 'great warrior', but he doesn't seem to believe that he killed a level 5 monster..
It wasn't like she couldn't understand how she felt..
‘If you only heard stories... It was probably the same for me too..’
Is it because it fell far away??
‘Unaffected by 'sharing the pain', she watched alone the whole story that no one knew about..
Yeah, literally..
I just watched.
What could a wizard who had run out of mana do??
“Everyone, please be thankful to Mr. Yandel. If it weren't for this person, he probably wouldn't have woken up alive..”
“Well, that's true... Could you tell me in more detail what happened??”
Just as I was wondering how to explain it, Einar joined the conversation..
“So what happened to Bjorn? Shouldn’t we hurry up and give him the potion??”
In other words, if you have a potion, ask for it..
Raven responded by shaking her head..
“The potion... It wouldn't make any sense. It looks like most of your body has already recovered..”
If I were to venture a guess, there wouldn't be many instances of this man taking potions in the future..
Most injuries will heal quickly..
“Then why can't I wake up yet?!”
“I don't know that either. but…….”
“Looks like I'm on to something! What is that? Wizard! Hurry up and say it!”
Raven took a deep breath and answered..
“maybe… It must be exhaustion..”
“…Drained? Didn’t you say earlier that your body was completely healed?!”
Einar placed his hand on her shoulder, dirty with dirt and blood..
An expression as if the sky had collapsed.
“Well, they could be real lovers.?”
“Ah, ah, no! Why does it suddenly become like that?!”
“Huh, anyway, I don’t know exactly. I'm not some kind of priest. I just know of a few similar cases..”
“A case? Miss Raven, are you saying this is a common occurrence??”
“It's not common, but... It happens sometimes. What if your body is healed, but your mind cannot recover and you cannot wake up?.”
Warriors sometimes fall into this state when they are under extreme stress that can leave a traumatic experience, or after a battle in which they really gave their all..
When I explained this, Einar raised his voice..
“I've never even heard of such a thing! And it makes even more sense! Are you so mentally exhausted that you can't wake up? Bjorn is not that weak!”
I'm not weak…….
She completely agreed with that statement..
A few hours ago I would have laughed to myself and moved on, but at least I did now..
Of course, she was the only one who watched his struggle against the vampire until the very last moment..
but…….
No, that makes my thoughts even stronger..
“To be honest, I'm almost certain. The reason Mr. Yandel doesn't wake up is because of mental exhaustion..”
Being tired and not being able to get up?
This goes beyond the realm of being mentally weak and strong..
It was a natural fight..
‘If she had seen it in person, she probably wouldn't have said this to me..’
Perhaps today, you may have witnessed an incredibly precious scene..
“Wizard! So when will Bjorn wake up?!”
“well. It could take a day at the earliest, or two days at the latest..”
“Then I'll be up in a few hours! Bjorn is a great warrior!”
‘…If that's the case, why did you ask??’
Raven's mood became uncomfortable once again, but for some reason she didn't feel like shooting or anything..
It's almost like I didn't have the energy to do that..
In fact, it didn't sound as absurd as it used to..
“A great warrior…….”
Throughout history, fewer than ten barbarians have been officially given that title by a king..
‘Well, it seems like it's just used as a compliment among barbarians these days..’
She gathered her thoughts one last time before continuing..
Essence of Corpse Golem and Essence of Vampire.
The barbarian who ate the guardian's food.
The coming-of-age ceremony was completed last month, and this is the second time I entered the labyrinth.?
She opened her mouth as she looked at the barbarian who was sleeping without knowing anything about the world..
“…Maybe, maybe it really will be like that..”
Of course, for that to happen, we will have to survive dozens more crises like today..
***
‘Did you survive?…….’
When I opened my eyes, it was midnight.
For some reason, Einar was giving me a lap pillow, and as soon as our eyes met, he screamed 'Bjorn!!!' and made me fall asleep..
“…where are the others?”
“Everyone left! Rather, Bjorn, are you okay? I was worried because I had passed out for three full days.!”
It's been three days?
So, in terms of time, it is now the 7th day??
When I came to my senses, I stood up straight. And once I checked the current status.
There is no visible trauma..
Aside from being hungry, my health is generally good..
“By the way, Einar, what are these pants I'm wearing??”
In fact, the word ‘pants’ has been purified..
A cloth that looks like a handkerchief is wrapped around my lower body, covering only the important parts..
If I were to classify it accurately, it would be closer to a skirt than pants..
It's also a minimal size.
“ah! In that case, the wizard gave him some extra cloth..”
“…Well, then you put it on??”
“Of course!”
For some reason, I felt a sense of shame, but it was a little less because Einar didn't show it much..
Well, it's a bit funny that the warriors face each other in this area..
“There is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Bjorn was a great warrior.!”
Well, I didn't mean to sexually harass you..
“…So what happened after that??”
I changed the subject to forget the shame..
I was curious about everything that happened after I lost consciousness. Especially when it comes to loot..
“Number item? Murad took it, and the crack stone was taken by the wizard..”
“what?”
It was a series of surprises from the beginning..
The fact that I'm alive now means that I absorbed its essence... Doesn't this mean that the vampire dropped all three items??
Why are there all these stores??
“Oh right! There was no need to roll dice when distributing crack stones. Because the wizard insisted that I should at least take this to make up for the loss.…….”
Einar continued as if making excuses..
“Murad said it didn't matter, but I still said no! But then the wizard said something strange..”
“strange words?”
“Bjorn said he won't be able to say anything about taking the rift stone with him since you got the biggest one anyway..”
‘From what I heard, it seems only she knows that I consumed the essence of a vampire..’
I quietly lowered my head..
There was no regret at all in the distribution of this loot..
Whatever the reason, the wizard fed me the essence of a corpse golem. Considering the additional cost of potions poured into me, the wizard actually suffered a loss..
If you are greedy even for crack stones, you are just a thief..
Einar seemed to think a little differently..
“Well, I said we would wait until you woke up and then decide, but I had no choice! When he didn't wake up even after waiting for over half a day, everyone took the portal over there and left.!!”
“There is no need for you to blame yourself. Wasn’t it inevitable??”
To be honest, I can only imagine the expressions on the faces of those who were held captive by Einar for half a day.…….
It would be better to just praise here..
“thanks. I'm relieved to have you.”
“…It’s all natural! Aren’t we colleagues?!”
I checked my luggage, which I assumed Einar had gathered..
A backpack, a mace, and a few pieces of scrap metal that used to be my shield.…….
‘Still, if you take it and sell it, the price of iron will come up..’
After putting everything I could find into my backpack, I took out food and a water bottle and quickly filled my hungry stomach..
and checked the time.
11:20 PM.
‘There's less than an hour left until the stairs close..’
“Bjorn! When you're done eating, why don't you head out? There's not much time now, right?!”
“can't do that.”
I stubbornly refused.
I desperately want to leave this awful place right now, but…….
You've worked so hard, shouldn't you take everything you can??
I also want to check out the boss room..
‘The wizard took the Necronomicon, so is there one left?.’
I guess we need to move quickly..
***
「1You have entered the Crystal Cave..」
「The labyrinth is closed.」
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
***
For the first time in a while, I felt the sunlight on my skin and exhaled..
‘Is it barely safe?…….’
The time was tighter than expected..
It took less than 10 minutes to climb up the ladder and find the hidden item on the ceiling of the watchtower on the outer castle wall.…….
It was hard to get to the boss room..
‘…It was a futile step in the end.’
They said they waited for half a day, but did they actually mean the time the wizard was investigating??
‘Well, it's even weirder that I just passed her by because of her personality..’
Walls broken here and there.
Torn picture frame.
Even a box of a type I had never seen before that was left open..
‘Apparently there was some additional reward, but I swallowed it all by myself.…….’
We arrived at the boss room with all our might, and there were traces that a lot of investigation had already been done..
However, rather than being angry that I had been scammed, I was more curious about the identity of the item..
After all, isn’t it a variant crack that has never been cleared?.
9This is an element that even I, who have been playing for years, don’t know about.?
My curiosity as a gamer grows quickly..
‘There's no way they'll give it to you just because you ask for it... I'll just have to subtly ask when we meet later..’
Anyway, I looked around to see if there was anything the wizard had missed, and time was running out..
In fact, the stairs closed as soon as I got out of the crack, so to say that it was really scary would be an understatement..
If I hadn't been careful, I would have caught the boss mob and been trapped there forever..
“Kennick's fourth son, Serum! The scar has increased! i envy you!”
“It's no big deal! Karak, third son of Panun!”
As I was briefly contemplating my thoughts, the voices of barbarians could be heard here and there..
Luckily I haven't found it yet.
I bowed low so as not to be noticed and headed to the currency exchange office for level 9 explorers only..
Fortunately, I arrived early so the line wasn't long..
There were no barbarians to bother me..
When I handed over the magic stone, the official machine-likely converted it into currency just like last time..
“231,520It's a stone.”
23ten thousand stones.
Although it feels like an infinitely small amount compared to the hardships I've gone through,…….
‘Because this is not everything.’
Absorbed two essences during this exploration..
Moreover, once you dispose of the actual items, you will earn a profit that is several times that of the magic stone..
‘Somehow, magic stones always become wealth instead of wealth..’
I don't know whether to be happy or sad about this.
He was smiling bitterly and reaching into his pocket..
“9That's too much money to be a level explorer..”
The civil servant took back the bag he had put down and looked at my face with meaningful eyes..
“What's in the backpack on your back??”
What is there??
There's nothing I can't answer for you, but…….
“…Why do you ask that??”
For some reason, my back feels cold..
I looked around and saw guards coming quickly towards me from afar..
It looks like he pressed the emergency call button that was said to be hidden under the bank desk..
“Is it interest??”
“yes.”
I raised my arms to express my intention to cooperate with the government authorities, but after speaking a few words with the government officials, the guards forcibly tied both of my arms..
Damn, I barely came back alive, so what is this?.
“Barbarian, let's go over there and talk for a moment..”
Instinctively, I felt something was wrong..
