Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 407
407angry dilemma (4)
[The online game I enjoyed playing before playing [Dungeon & Stone] had PVP as its main content..
A type of game where you choose one of two factions when creating a character and compete for power as you grow on different continents..
I remember that the taste of leading an expeditionary force into the enemy camp and stealing the field boss was excellent..
PK is also exciting.
Even the field boss gets the last hit and eats it sweetly..
Plus, you can hear all kinds of rave reviews from users in the enemy camp.?
‘It was a pretty fun game.’
[If I hadn't come across [Dungeon & Stone], I might still be playing that game..
It was the best thing I ever did.
‘……But if you had continued that way, you wouldn't have been dragged here, right??’
It's such a belated regret anyway.
The reason why this game I had almost forgotten suddenly came to mind is simple..
In a way, it has a lot in common with the current situation..
Currently, the Dark Continent is occupied by the Noark faction..
It's as if our expedition team has secretly set foot there right now..
Moreover, above all…….
‘The method used there works well..’
I can feel the taste I felt while playing that game..
“……It's a surprise attack.!”
“How on earth do the enemies get here?……!”
“front! Deal with the demons in front first.!!”
“Oh, ahhh!”
The panicked enemies move without knowing what to do..
“profit! dastardly……!”
“Why are you aiming for this time?!”
“I'll definitely take you guys with me!”
Overflowing praise.
「Killed the Bone Dragonian. EXP +7」
In addition, killing level 3 monsters is as easy as eating it up like a cake..
Of course, there was a separate Hwaryong climax..
“It's Jeongsu.!!”
Wow, did I get a gift for doing something nice??
Not only was the surprise attack successful and a successful PK without a single injured person, but the bonus monster that was caught even dropped essence..
The second grade 3 essence obtained during this expedition..
“Ashed, you go and collect the essence first..”
“yes.”
The battlefield was quickly cleared while a wizard was sent to place the essence in a test tube..
That's right, the loot isn't just essence.?
As always, PK’s main dish is separate..
“Big, big... Save me, save me…….”
“Don't you know that I can't save you?.”
What is this guy talking to a corpse?.
“Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way..”
After taking out the hammer, I pressed the happy button of the guys who were still holding on to the rope..
Kwasik, Kwasik, Kwasik-!
A body that becomes limp with its flesh crushed.
After personally confirming the kill, I had the crew take off the equipment and store it all in the expedition team's common sub-space..
“Hwiyu, it's no joke when you think about the equipment they have in subspace..”
“When I go back, I'll make sure everyone gets their share..”
The crew seemed to have guessed the size just by looking at it from the corner of their eyes, and their enthusiasm burned..
It's a natural thing to do.
3The grade essence is valuable enough, but it is nothing compared to the equipment of the 15 people who were active on the 7th floor..
Above all, the effort put into the battle was small..
“Loot collection is over..”
“The injured?”
“0My name is.”
“Yeah, that's right.”
I couldn't hide my satisfaction and raised the corners of my mouth..
The battle was concluded neatly within 5 minutes, without a single casualty..
“……Do you plan to continue fighting like this in the future??”
“Is there a problem??”
“no. That's not it…….”
Akuraba asked something, but kept his mouth shut..
I know this because I experienced it myself..
I learned that this is the best way to surprise those who are unwary and hunting in their own camp..
Well, that doesn't mean it doesn't have its drawbacks..
‘30Because you are a person…….’
The battle was over in 5 minutes, but the time it took for them to encounter the monster was considerable..
Of course, compared to the advantages, the disadvantages are not worth worrying about..
If someone gets hurt or dies during a fight, the loss is greater.?
However, would there still be some regret?.
Kaislan carefully gave me advice..
“Schuitz, you were too hasty in killing everyone. We should have captured one person and obtained information from him..”
Oh, that's true too.
“I will do that from the next surprise attack..”
Kaislan seemed to have listened to his own advice, and his complexion suddenly brightened..
“Wizards burn bodies, erase traces!”
After finishing cleaning up the surroundings, we hid in the darkness again and resumed our movement..
But maybe it was because the surroundings were so quiet??
A conversation between some crew members reached my ears and I burst out laughing..
“Did you see it earlier? the equipment?”
“If only we had ten more battles like this... How much is that alone??”
Well, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
***
Our routine after arriving on the Dark Continent was this:.
plod, trudge.
Move while hiding in the dark.
“The enemy.”
When you spot an enemy, wait for an opportunity to fight the monster..
and…….
“It's now!”
Take advantage of the time they were distracted by the monster and attack with all their might..
Kwakwakwakkwak.-!
Hehehey profit!
Cooung-!
It's even easier after pouring all your long-range firepower at once and blowing out the entire back row..
“Let's go!”
“Wipe it all away!”
Even if the troops came in and tried hard, the front line couldn't even get support easily because of the monsters in front..
The battle ended quickly this time too.
‘Is this just the 10th time?.’
I kept repeating this as I moved, and the number of times reached double digits just as I was escaping the dragon's mind..
“Wizard! Put up a soundproof curtain first so you can’t hear the sound.!”
“hey! Take it off gently! It keeps coming out with flesh attached to it.!”
When the battle was over, the members familiarized themselves with collecting loot and erasing traces..
As I was watching, a member of the group grabbed the survivor by the hair and brought it in front of me..
“Leader! Here comes the person I was talking about.!”
“Good work.”
“It was nothing.”
From the second battle, I always keep one person alive and then dig up information..
Well, you probably don't know.
A labyrinth is a place where it is not strange no matter what variables arise at any time..
You should not neglect collecting information on a daily basis..
In the first place, I'm not the one doing the interrogation..
“June.”
“Please leave it to me..”
If you leave it to Jun, our expedition's official information extractor, for a while, the information will come out and be organized on its own..
For example, the guys who were hunting on the 8th floor were Noark's elite..
That's why the main base is empty..
All that useful information came out like this..
But the problem is that there is no one who knows more than this these days, so there is no update of new information.…….
“Schuitz, please come here for a moment. This is an urgent matter..”
It's been a while since Jun called me during the interrogation..
I wanted to know something, so I quickly went there and found that the tightly tied survivor was still alive..
This means that meaningful information was generated during this interrogation..
“Go ahead and say it. What did you find out??”
“It's a bit ambiguous to say I figured it out..”
“It's ambiguous……?”
When I asked while tilting my head, Jun shifted his gaze to one place. He followed his gaze and saw a stone that was shining and vibrating slightly..
An item that an explorer cannot avoid without knowing..
“message stone……?”
“This is an item that interest is in your possession..”
“That means…….”
“Yes, someone contacted him. What would you do??”
At the same time as Jun asked, the message stone vibrated slightly once more..
Jiiiiiiing-
How many more times will this vibration ring?.
I can not know.
That's why we have to make decisions even faster..
Sigh.
I slightly raised my hand and made a gesture asking for time, then gathered my thoughts..
‘Is it nearby, or is it a call from far away?.’
Although it varies depending on the quality, the radius of the message stone is limited..
But this is Noark's territory.
There is a possibility that this communication came from very far away..
That's why the royal family created an expeditionary force to attack the main base in the first place..
Magic Wave Emitter.
To put it in modern terms, it is an object that acts similar to a transmission tower..
7The guys who used the cheat key to enter the floor directly had a super force coming in with a huge device that couldn't normally be contained in subspace..
Thanks to this, they were able to communicate freely with troops scattered throughout the continent and actively harass the royal army..
Jiiiiiiing-
The sound of vibration that dries a person's blood rings out once more..
I finished worrying and just checked a few things..
“You there, I think this is a communication from somewhere.?”
“……Oh, it's probably just regular contact. Checking the status of each troop!”
Hmm, that's right.
“Jun, there is no chance of this guy fucking us.?”
“I think it's very unlikely.”
This means that you are very confident in a situation where it is difficult to express your confidence in words..
“……Ha, you can! I'll do whatever you tell me! I mean, please, Lord, kill me.……!”
I finished my judgment while listening to the voice of a man who craves death more than life..
Yeah, I think this is trustworthy..
“Okay, get in touch. If you ask me if there is anything wrong, I will answer that there is nothing..”
As I said that, I grabbed the vibrating message stone and thrust it into his face..
and…….
Click.
The moment you press the button and receive a call.
A man's voice came from beyond the glowing stones..
[I finally got in touch with you..]
Heavy bass sound that sticks in your ears somewhere.
As soon as I heard this, my heart started beating violently..
pounding, pounding, pounding—
It was an unforgettable voice..
“Lee, Regal Vagos… Are you?”
Dragon Slayer, Regal Vagos.
Crackling.
Yeah, you're on the 7th floor somewhere..
***
I came into this world and met many enemies..
Most of them smashed their heads, but unfortunately there are some who couldn't due to lack of strength..
Riakis, Lord of Chaos.
Corpse Collector Abed Necrafeto.
Annihilator, Velveb Ruingenes, etc..
There are so many things that come to mind right now, but the one I have the deepest resentment of is definitely this guy..
Dragon Slayer, Regal Vagos.
The moment I hear that voice, my reason is paralyzed and my blood boils..
but…….
Wow!.
Now might not be the time.
I cooled my emotions by injecting more strength into my clenched fists..
and…….
[Mayras, where are you now??]
I focused on the conversation that followed..
“Yo, I'm hunting with my team in the depths of the dragon.!”
[…okay? So do you know anything??]
“What you are saying is that you know…….”
[None of the people who went to the dragon's heart can be contacted..]
“Is that so? I'm not sure. Well, we are doing well without any problems. Really!”
Excessive tone of voice, as if begging for doubt.
I was going to go as far as stuttering, but isn't this crossing a line??
I was thinking like that.
Seueuugh-
Jun quietly picked up an awl lying next to him, and his speech and posture immediately corrected..
“But it seems strange. I can't hear everyone. Have you ever been attacked by monsters??”
The pronunciation is clear, as if you have been stuttering for some time..
[No matter how pathetic they are, there's no way they would all have suffered..]
“…That's right. But, is there anything special going on there??”
Furthermore, he showed his enthusiasm in asking for information..
[Not yet.]
“Fortunately, the. Don't worry, I'll take another look and see what happened..”
[Like you?]
“…….”
[Don't fool around and wait. We already sent troops there. Join and follow what they say.]
“Yes, I understand.”
[Tsk, useless guys..]
Soon the guy clicked his tongue and unilaterally cut off contact, and Jun cautiously opened his mouth..
“It's a shame. It would have been nice if we could have found out how many troops were sent this way..”
“Yeah, right…….”
“…What makes you uncomfortable? I don't have a good complexion.”
“never mind. Because it’s no big deal.”
It's just a little difficult to hold back my anger..
While I was listening to that voice, what happened that day came back to me clearly.—
“Oh, no.”
At that time, I heard a shout from behind me..
whistling.
I quickly turned my head and saw Erwen standing there..
Tuk.
It looked like he was holding something with both hands, but what he was supposed to be holding in his hands had fallen to the floor..
Normally, if it was a mistake, I would bend down and pick up the item again, but Erwen just stopped and stared at me..
“Erwen? What's going on here??”
As soon as I got closer, feeling suspicious, I noticed Erwen's strange behavior..
“Wait a minute, you're shaking…….”
“That, that, that voice…….”
“Just calm down. Are you okay??”
“just now! Bah, bah, that guy just… That's him, right?……?”
For some reason, I still don’t know the reason..
“Yo, Dragon Slayer, Regal Vagos…….”
Erwen was terrified..
