Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 594
594Angry RPG (2)
The sound of weapons clashing against iron.
Screams of pain and angry yelling.
and…….
Pushuuuuut-!
The blood fountain that covers my entire field of vision.
“evil, my eyes!”
I quickly wiped the area around my eyes with one hand to secure the blocked view..
At the same time, I quickly looked around..
Like during the coming-of-age ceremony, there was no time to close your eyes and gather your thoughts..
Because this was the middle of the battlefield..
“Ahhhhh—!”
“Mi, push! Push it away—! If it gets pierced, everyone will die.!!”
A flood of monsters and hundreds of humans blocking them..
‘What is this again?…….’
Organize your thoughts quickly.
I had just entered a space believed to be a crack on the first basement floor, and when I opened my eyes, this was where I was..
Chief, Archbishop, Gahyun, Erwen…….
Colleagues who should have come in together are nowhere to be seen, and only humans dying in real time can be seen everywhere..
need more information.
It was a time when I made that judgment and took note of everything I saw around me..
“Bjorn Jandel… … ! Come to your senses! Am I going to die like this?!”
The man our eyes met pulls out the sword stuck in the monster's neck and shouts something at me..
Being able to communicate.
That fact was surprising, but there was something else that really caught me off guard..
“Bjorn… Yandel……?”
I know my name..
What on earth? At first glance, it doesn't look like an enemy..
Is it like a fellow NPC??
But there was no crack of this type.?
“Shit, you don't even know your own name anymore……!”
The man frowned, and came to my side through the gap between the monsters..
and…….
“Come to your senses! Unless you want to die like this!”
Shouting something, they stand in front of me and face the monsters..
Thanks to you, my mind feels refreshed too.
‘I guess it's a fellow NPC..’
These humans are not the enemy.
After coming to that conclusion, I was able to realize what I had to do right away..
“What are you doing with that big body? Come on, swing the hammer... … ! Kill those monsters and save your friends.!”
First, let's destroy all those monsters first..
Then you'll know something.
What should I do next?.
“behel…….”
Oh, I guess it's better not to do this just in case.?
“Aaaaaaaaa—!!”
Instead of shouting a barbarian battle cry, he lunges forward while shouting with all his might. Since the level of monsters is not that high, [Giantization] was not used on purpose..
but…….
Kwasik-!
Nevertheless, a whole troll can be crushed with a single blow of a hammer..
“What is this……!”
The eyes of the man who was confronting the troll to protect me suddenly turned round..
“you… Have you been hiding your skills??”
A feeling of astonishment deeply embedded in the voice..
Actually, I had similar feelings..
‘……You can do that in one shot.?’
Feeling uncomfortable, I swung the hammer once more at the troll next to me..
Kwasik-!
This time, the troll turns into jelly with one hit..
To be honest, I'm pretty embarrassed..
‘what is this…….’
Why am I so strong?
‘No, are these guys weak??’
Trolls don't die this easily.
It has a monster-like body that recovers through [super regeneration] even if its head is smashed..
Of course, if you pour in overwhelming damage, it is possible to ignore the [Super Regeneration] pattern and cause instant death.…….
‘It would be difficult with my specs?’
So what happened?.
As I was swinging the hammer against the pouring army of monsters, I was naturally able to find the answer to that question..
Trolls are not weakened.
He still has enough strength to throw a large man with one hand, and even when he gets a head injury, he uses [Super Regeneration] just fine..
Kwasik-!
It's just that I've become ridiculously strong..
Kwasik-! Kwasik-! Kwasik-!
Monsters that are swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind every time you swing the hammer.
But it was not a power without a price..
“…blood.”
Blood is flowing from my barbarian warrior's body, covered with all sorts of defense mechanisms..
Of course, since I am human, I can bleed..
Even the injury I suffered now is not enough to be a slight puncture and a little blood leaking out..
‘…I'm only bleeding like I was bitten by a troll.?’
There is a big problem with my body.
***
「The role given to the character is 'mercenary'..」
「Instead of increasing all attack values by 3x, all defense values are reduced by 70%.」
「Regeneration value increases in proportion to lost HP.」
***
I'm tired.
It wasn't just that it was done, it was done properly..
This was the first thought that came to mind the moment I saw with my own eyes something wrong with my body..
Kwasik-!
Instead of greatly increasing damage,.
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!]
The durability of the body has decreased dramatically..
I don't know the exact number, but.
Stage 2 of [Evolutionary Shell], which activates from physical resistance 350, does not explode..
「The character's physical resistance value is 70 or higher..」
「It has 50% resistance to sword-type weapons only..」
It's not even just physical resistance.
[Barbarian Dragon mode does not work even when using [Scale of Greed].
Simply put, it means that the drag force has decreased significantly..
‘Nimiral…….’
All skills that use durability values as coefficients have been reduced to half-measures..
Well, it's not like they just took it away..
Tadat.
The warrior's body, which was extremely slow compared to his colleagues, moves much lighter and faster than usual..
also…….
「The character casted [Swing].」
「The character's strength value is over 1,200.」
「Deals double damage to enemies with HP over 90%.」
[Every time [Swing] is cast, tremendous wind pressure is generated..
Just looking at the cancer, it seems like the effect has been released.…….
‘think about it later.’
After first checking the changes in my body, I focused on the battle with the monsters..
Well, if we keep going like this, it won't be difficult to wipe out all the monsters.…….
‘We don't know what will happen, so let's save as much as we can..’
If you fight more actively, more fellow NPCs will be able to survive..
Swing and strike the hammer based on your ridiculously strong force..
Kwasik-! Kwasik-! Kwasik-!
The cool hitting sensation that was difficult to feel while raising Shield Baba lingers in my fingertips..
‘……Maybe it's not to the point where I can say I'm nervous.’
It didn't turn out as bad as I thought..
Well, it was stressful having to be aware of attacks that I could normally ignore..
‘this… It's uncomfortable yet comfortable…….’
It was a time when the body was gradually adapting to the active battle..
“Okay, it's over.……!”
“I lived, I lived……!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaa!!”
When I came to, I realized that all the monsters were dead and the humans around me were shouting in victory..
‘Okay, what should I do now??’
I thought I had to catch them all first, so I did..
I have no idea what will happen next..
So, I stayed away from people as much as possible and looked around..
“Yandel… … ! Yandel! Are you okay??”
A man runs towards me, stepping on the corpses of monsters..
The same man who was worried and tried to protect me when I first opened my eyes..
“…There were no serious injuries..”
“Thank goodness. Thank goodness!”
The nice-looking man checked my body and took a breath as if he had survived ten years..
But did you have that question too late??
“What was that inaction a little while ago? Since he was so big, I thought he would fight well on his own... I never imagined it would be like this.!”
“uh…….”
What should I answer??
I guess it's okay if I just act roughly first.?
As I continued to worry, the man lowered his head with a regretful look on his face..
“ah… Excuse me. There must be a story behind why someone like you ended up working as a mercenary..”
“understanding… Thank you for doing it..”
“Come on, let’s go. I want to rest right now, but I have to clean up after myself so I don't look bad to the empire guys..”
It was a short conversation, but two more pieces of information were added..
‘mercenary… And it's an empire…….’
What kind of concept is this crack?.
Since I knew nothing about the situation, I obediently followed the man. The place where we are now is in the middle of a city that has turned into ruins..
“fuse! Priest, this is you.!”
A street littered with corpses of people and monsters.
Soldiers were carrying the wounded, and some were running down the street, screaming repeatedly as if they were looking for their lost comrades..
“The author……!”
“It was amazing earlier..”
“The knights weren't that bad either.…….”
Although it was such a crowded street, just walking on it attracted attention. Well, since it was so wild, it's no wonder it's attracting so much attention.?
I still didn't know what outcome my decision to save as many people as possible would lead to..
“What should I do? Hurry up and pick it up! Don't you think the wreckage needs to be removed for the carriage to move? Oh, if your skills are as good as yours, I don't think it's okay to not worry about the empire.?”
“No, it's done. Let's do it together…….”
“The young friend has deep thoughts. It's going to be big.”
Even though I didn't know the man's name yet, I followed his instructions and helped clean up after him..
There were a few things I learned along the way..
1. We are both mercenaries hired by the Imperial Army..
2. We both met for the first time today, and we finished talking before the battle started..
3. Fortunately, this man is very talkative..
Simply put, it means gathering information is much easier..
“after… I haven't been a mercenary for long, but this is my first time experiencing something strange like this. Monsters form a group like this and invade the city... … . what will happen to the world.”
“Hey, do you know what year it is??”
“well? Let’s see… Last year was the year of the moon, so this year will be the year of the sun..”
However, unfortunately, this guy only talked a lot and did not have much knowledge..
“Do you know any more details than that? What year is the year of the sun?.”
“……Where would you find a mercenary who memorizes something like that? We are not nobles who only study history..”
Unlike the vampire man, a former mercenary who doesn't even know what year it is..
“So what is the emperor's name? Do you know??”
“……Shhh! Joe, be quiet! Do you want to die??”
“No, is that why you know??”
“There's no way someone like me would know……!”
Yeah, you don't know..
I thought it would be similar if I asked the soldiers on the street, so I decided to just focus on other parts..
It would be a bit strange to ask right away..
We continued to clean up after ourselves without saying a word, and then as naturally as possible..
“Do you know how the war against witches is going??”
The man tilts his head as if to make small talk..
“witch? What does that mean? Is there a war between female wizards in other regions??”
“No, I think I heard something like that. It's okay if you don't know.”
It seems that the current period is before the witch appeared. Otherwise, there is no way to understand a witch as a female wizard..
It was a time when I was helping clean up and gathering information..
“Everyone, please stop for a moment.!”
A knight with the imperial military emblem engraved on his chest attracts the attention of mercenaries who are cleaning up after themselves..
“It's not the same country I saw in the morning.?”
“Morsch? That country is gone.”
“Ah, so the commander I’m seeing for the first time… … . Oops, let's be quiet. Sparks fly for no reason.”
Hundreds of mercenaries who keep their mouths shut and pay attention, weighed down by the might of the empire..
Soon the article continued..
and…….
“We are looking for a mercenary named Bjorn Yandel! I heard that he killed hundreds of monsters alone! Has anyone seen it??”
What, why are you looking for me?.
I quietly took a step back without realizing it, but there was no time to turn. It was because as soon as they heard those words, people's eyes focused on me..
“Ah, it's you. Can I talk to you for a moment??”
“……good night.”
I was a little anxious about the sudden request for an interview, but when I think about it, it wasn't something I should have avoided..
Since he is a knight, he must know much more than a mercenary..
I was planning on gathering more information through conversation..
but…….
“You are a mercenary, right? I will tell you bluntly. There is a request I would like to entrust to you..”
The plan to naturally obtain information through small talk was not realized..
“Escort a girl. So that the girl can reach her destination.”
The moment the knight spoke the contents of his request, the world turned black..
‘Well, if it’s going to be like this, why did you ask??’
I didn't even say I would accept the request..
***
Knock, knock, knock again…….
A dark cave where the sound of water drops echoes.
As soon as I open my eyes there, I feel someone next to me..
No, more accurately, it should be called living.?
whistling!
Something stirs in the dark..
Expected point of impact is near my thigh.
Even in this darkness, the barbarian's body instinctively caught something being swung..
Chak-!
A delicate wrist held in a thick hand.
“Tsk……!”
A moan comes out as if the area where I was caught is in pain..
At first glance, it was a very young-looking voice..
‘The location changed after I was assigned the escort mission... … . Then he must be the target of the escort.’
I made a hasty decision and instead of counterattacking, I opened my mouth as gently as possible..
“Calm down. i won't hurt you.”
The wrist that was caught by those words trembled..
And after a while, a sound came out..
“…Ex?”
…Is my arm hurting??
When I completely relaxed my hand and let go, a young voice rang out in the darkness..
“I… Oh, it's you, Mr.?”
A young voice that seems to have at least a few more years left before it undergoes transformation. However, that voice and tone were very familiar to me..
“Is it Erwen?……?”
“yes yes! It's me!”
“I don’t know what happened, but I’m glad I’m able to join now. Since it's dark, start from the surroundings—.”
“Oh, wait a minute. I will do it… … . however… Man, you shouldn’t be surprised.?”
“I'm surprised……?”
“Something like that... there is…….”
As soon as he said those words, a small flame appeared in the darkness..
Grumbling-!
A small flame that is not enough to brighten up the surroundings..
I lowered my chin for a while to look down and was frozen like a stone..
Under the reddish lights.
Erwen was looking up at me..
In the form of a young child who appears to be about eight years old.
“that… What am I… That look?”
“…Me, I don’t know! Wow, when I opened my eyes, it looked like this…….”
Still, it's a bit surprising.
He had a face like this when he was young..
But my nose has been very high since I was young.—.
“mister……!!”
Did I stare too closely??
Erwen.
No, to be exact, Erwen went back to her mite days..
Um, this is too long, so I'll shorten it.—.
“……Don't look too much!”
Nger Wen covered her face with her small hands..
