Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 68
68angry barbarian hero (1)
[crack of evil]
This is a type of instant death attack that appears when Liakis absorbs 10 or more orbs..
If you don't escape within the time limit, you will die no matter how hard you trained your character..
It was about 45 minutes in-game time..
And one feature here is…….
Regardless of location, everyone is pulled to the center..
Huh-!
Before I had time to adjust to the darkness in front of me, a feeling of being stretched spread throughout my body..
“Rain, yo, rn… … !! This, crab, uh, how, crab—!”
I don't know why, but Misha's voice is heard at 0.5x speed..
So I spoke at 2x speed.
“Don't worry, you're not going to die right away..”
“That, crab, what, what, what, means—!”
Misha shouted slowly, but the shout was not completed until the end..
Complete silence, as if hearing itself had disappeared..
Of course, the time itself wasn't long..
「All characters within radius are transported to the heart of evil.」
When I opened my eyes, there was light there.
“Bjorn!”
Sound was also heard normally, and many people other than Misha were seen everywhere..
“What the hell is this place……?”
“What, what! I was definitely running away…….”
At first glance, 200 is a reasonable number of explorers..
I left Missha, who was clinging to me with an anxious face, and checked one place..
Those with the Dzarwi Clan emblem quickly gathered among themselves and formed a formation..
‘50Is there already this much left in the name?…….’
20A little over 100 people.
There were 11 deaths during the three hours of confrontation with Liakis, and more power was lost in less than five minutes..
What on earth happened in that brief moment?.
Well, it wasn't hard to guess.
“Hey! If you know what's going on right now—”
“Shut up, you scum..”
A voice of anger erupts from an explorer's question..
“Because of trash like you... How many people do you know are dead?!”
“If you come any closer, I will attack immediately..”
In fact, the Dzarwi Clan was tightly knit together and was on alert to prevent anyone from approaching..
The explorers were also puzzled by this..
“Well, why is it because of us?!”
“This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't taken our equipment in the first place.!”
“I heard that the larger clans swear to their guilds and royal families that they will do their duty in times of emergency. Let's decide what's right and wrong later, but for now, let's all work together.…….”
“Please let me in! I didn't even participate in the first place. If you ask me to pay more protection fee, I will pay it.…….”
The explorers, who did not even know what kind of situation they were in, let out a loud cry..
Well, you probably know it too..
If you get abandoned by them, you have no chance of survival..
But what should I do with this?.
“Just be thankful that they don't kill you right away. trash.”
The intentions of the Dzarwi clan were stubborn..
“Wow, where are those selfish words! That doesn't mean we should all go out and die.!”
“You got it right..”
“…What, what? Let’s see, let’s see, these guys! I think we'll just stay quiet.?”
A man who agitated on the front lines.
Many explorers sympathized with Jack Flitzer's cry, but the Clan only laughed as if it was not the same..
“What if I don't stay still??”
“That's right, we can join forces to save you—”
“I'm telling you in advance, don't expect that you will be swayed as helplessly as before. If you're trash like you, I can burn it all down here if I want..”
It wasn't a show of bravado or anything like that..
Of course, the situation is different from before..
Unlike back then, when we were spread out to deal with Liakis, we are forming a proper tight formation..
It looks like they are ready to unleash their magic at any time..
“Shit!”
“Do you think we will die without you?!”
It was then that the explorers realized their reality..
“Me, I know about this phenomenon..”
A human man who appeared to be about 160 cm tall opened his mouth in front of the crowd..
“I know about this phenomenon?”
“Now, I don't know the details. But if we don't get out of here in time, we'll all die. It was written like that in an old book..”
“…Is that really true??”
As Jack Plitcher gave him a suspicious look, a woman stepped forward to replace the man who looked like Sook-maek..
“I can guarantee that!”
“fairy?”
“I have been teaming up with this person for over a year. And I experienced many unbelievable things. This person is a mysterious person. He really doesn't know anything. I have no doubt that this man's words will save us..”
Jack Flitzer's complexion changed..
“If the fairy says... It might be worth a listen. Look, what do we have to do to get out of here??”
“Well, it’s not even a method! I heard that you can escape this place if you go about 5km in any direction.…….”
Surprisingly, what that human man said is true..
The problem is that the moment you leave this place where there is light, Liakis's clones come rushing in from the darkness..
“I heard there are monsters, but if we all work together, I'm sure we can do it.!”
“Hmm, that certainly makes sense..”
Damn.
If it were that easy, the guys from that clan would have jumped out first. Instead of having a serious conversation with each other with shit-chewing faces..
“Bjorn, what are you going to do??”
“what?”
“However, when you see an elf making such a guarantee to a human, it must mean that the human being really has something to offer..”
Um, I see.?
To me, he just looks like an asshole.…….
“Don't be swayed by things like that and wait calmly..”
“I understand!”
Anyway, the situation unfolded quickly after that..
“Although there is a fairy's assurance, there is a clear possibility that the man is wrong. but! Rather than just waiting for death like this, I want to walk here.!”
Jack Plitcher, who soon made a decision, began agitating again, and public opinion gradually moved..
“Yes, you die this way, you die that way.!”
“I don't think they'll help us anyway, but we have another option.?”
“There are so many people, it will work out somehow.!”
“But no matter how much I think about it, I don't think it will be that easy.…….”
There were many people who were skeptical, but once people started to gather, the pace accelerated, perhaps because they thought they might be left behind..
and now.
“I will ask you one last question! If anyone wants to join us, come out now.!”
100More than 100 explorers came together.
There are about 40 people left, including Misha and me..
Jack Plitcher, who was looking at us all the way, saw me and started talking to me..
“Hey, you're Viagron, Yandere's son.?”
“…This is Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
“Hmm, was that so? Anyway, you're not going to join us??”
Why bother asking again, don’t you know enough about that just by being here??
I answered by shrugging my shoulders..
however…….
“If you're a barbarian, you're stupid, you'll regret it..”
Fuck? What is this again??
You can just go your own way, why are you giving this shit at the end??
It's a mentality I don't understand, but it's my belief that I give back as much as I receive, so I gave him a good compliment..
“What do you mean? The baby will be born soon. Don't talk nonsense and get out of bed quickly. That would be more helpful to the world.”
“What, what??”
“Do you want to fight me? Then come here. I will break that empty head.”
There were a hundred explorers behind him, and as I walked forward holding the mace, he turned his head..
And he left muttering to himself..
“Well, I thought about it and told you.…….”
“It looks like there's no one else I can join, so let's go! I can't afford to waste time on this.!”
It's happening anyway.
More than half of the people disappeared into the darkness..
No, in this case, is it true that I crawled into my limbs on my own??
Anyway, when they left, Misha came close next to me and muttered as if he had been waiting for me..
“Bjorn, what are we going to do??”
“Why do you always ask me that??”
“That's right... Up until now, what you've said has always been correct. i believe in you.”
“Right.”
Thank you for your words, but what Misha said was wrong..
my choice is not correct.
How could a mere human know such a thing??
I just chose the one that seemed most likely at the moment the problem occurred..
And in that sense…….
plod-
I walked towards the Dzarwi Clan, who was in the middle of a discussion..
‘At this point, it's clear to you how much they've screwed up.…….’
Now it's time to go gambling.
Gambling with the highest success rate, according to my judgment based on various reasons..
“Stop, Barbarian. When you come closer—”
As I approached, the clan stopped me..
Coincidentally, the person making the call was someone who is from our old neighborhood..
“Oh, oh my burning…….”
“Half a penny… … ? why are you here…….”
A sudden reunion.
It was clear that there wouldn't be a touching brother-sister reunion, so I stood between them and asked with a sly smile..
“W, it’s been a while..”
“…what? Long time no see?”
Misha's oppa frowns..
Well, it's not like we're supposed to say hello like this..
So while he was confused, I immediately got to the point..
“So, has the Orc hero essence been released??”
“Well, fortunately, fortunately—”
Yeah, you got lucky..
“Wait a minute, how do you know that??”
I smiled as I saw my brother staring at me with scary eyes..
The gamble paid off..
First of all, at least halfway.
***
Vice-captain of the Dzarwi Clan.
Iraj McGrane thought.
‘Fucked..’
Total deaths: 27.
Proportionally, this number amounts to 20% of the total strength of the Dzarwi Clan. I can't even guess how long it will take to restore it..
‘Well, there is no guarantee that we will return alive..’
He opened his eyes and looked at the members..
There are currently a total of 23 surviving clan members..
Looking at the number of people, it can be said that about half of the force survived, but in reality, this is not the case..
he asked the adjutant.
“What exactly is your current power??”
“Three priests, six wizards, and twelve ranged support classes... There are two melee warriors.’
A report that led to a miserable voice.
It will be like that.
“There are only two melee warriors…….”
The distribution of personnel is insufficient to even be described as deformed..
When the riots broke out, the fighters who did not receive support suffered major losses that were close to annihilation..
“Still, I'm glad. If it weren't for the vice-captain's decision, we wouldn't have had time to reorganize like this.—”
“That's something you can only find out after you return alive..”
McGrane took a quiet breath..
As soon as he decided that it was impossible to quell the riot, he issued an order. The plan was to leave Liakis to absorb the dark sphere..
Thanks to this, we succeeded in reducing damage to a minimum and saving time..
‘Okay, time… I guess it's just buying time..’
“Look, Lord McGrane! What do you plan to do now? You probably didn't just give up everything.?”
“I'm thinking.”
“If so, you'll have to think quickly. If you've studied anything about Riakis, the Lord of Chaos, you'll know that we don't have much time left..”
McGrane sighed as he looked at the wizard who spoke in a sharp voice..
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…….”
The priests who made the sign of the cross and prayed were better, but if they looked at you with hate, it was clear that even if you survived, it would lead to bad results..
‘Think about it, how can you make it back alive as much as possible?.’
McGrane thought and thought again..
What is the best thing to do in the current situation?.
“Vice-captain, the explorers are trying to form a group. It looks like they are trying to get out of here on their own..”
“This is the first good news in a while. Leave me alone.”
“yes?”
“Aren't you going to act as bait?.”
We decided to thoroughly utilize positive variables..
I thought over and over again about what to do with the escape route, how to deploy personnel during movement, and the optimal formation..
There was no answer.
“As you instructed, we made you familiar with the formation when moving. Now you can move anytime.”
I did the best I could, but…….
‘Assuming you're lucky, at least half of you will die..’
The absence of warriors was so fatal..
At most, two people can't even clear the path properly, and even those two people are a swordsman and a spearman..
Professional defense warrior.
In other words, there are no explorers in the guardian position..
‘It's crazy that we have to pave the way with just these people when they are more important than ever..’
just one person.
The situation would have been much more positive if there had been at least one explorer in a proper guardian position.…….
“Vice-captain, the explorers have left..”
“Make a decision quickly!”
McGrane narrowed his eyes as he looked at the clan members looking at him..
“100That number is over 100,000. Unless they move when they get the slightest bit of attention.—”
“Know.”
There is no time.
You have to make a decision quickly.
It was just as McGrane was finally about to open his mouth..
“So, I said it right!! I will open the way—!!”
a barbarian shouted.
It was as if he knew of his troubles that no one else in this place knew about..
McGrane asked his adjutant like a man possessed..
“Hey, who is that friend who is doing that??”
“I heard a little bit about it, and it looks like it's Mr. Karlstein's younger sister's colleague. Vice-captain, there is no need for you to be concerned.—”
“I'll decide that, so you can answer..”
Soon the adjutant answered.
“I don't know how the author knew... … . I am requesting the essence of an orc hero..”
“Essence of Orc Hero?”
“Yes, he said he could open the way with that..”
McGrane activated one of his abilities, [Survival Instinct], and then looked at the barbarian again..
And I chanted.
“It's the first time I've seen such a strong light from a person..”
The gift that saved him from countless crises was speaking..
It's definitely worth listening to..
