Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 70
70angry barbarian hero (3)
I'm running with all my might.
Leading a truly monstrous body measuring 5 meters in diameter,.
Coo! Cooung!
Every time your foot touches the ground, a sound like that of a large monster is heard..
“Don't fall behind and follow along.!”
Behind them are 23 clan members and Misha, and behind them are 40 third-floor explorers who were not swayed by Jack Flitzer's instigation..
The story of how they came together is simple..
[Give me all your gear and I'll take you..]
Not only was McGrane a rationalist who hoped to make up for even the slightest loss.…….
「The character casted [Imprint of Immolation].」
「The character's body value temporarily increases by the number of sacrifices located within a 100m radius..」
The judgment that it would be better to have at least one more offering..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
Overflowing with power.
A destructive instinct that is as unbearable as the overflowing power dominates the entire body..
‘I guess this is because of the fighting spirit..’
Still, I'm glad.
I don’t have to endure this desire.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”
Riakis' clones, reduced to miniature size, fly in from the front..
Even if it is a miniature, it is over 2m in size.…….
Yes, the little things are the same.
Huh!
Swing the mace mercilessly.
My body has grown so much that it feels like I'm wielding a spoon rather than a mace..
Well, the guy who got hit may think differently..
Powok-!
A corpse that gets hit in the solar plexus turns into powder and disappears..
If it were me, I would have had to take a few more hits to die..
I can once again feel how much my physical stats have improved..
However, the problem is…….
Kwaaang-!
Every time you destroy one, an explosion blooms..
Not at the place where the other body died, but at the place where I am standing..
「Liakis' Hatred is activated.」
「The character takes a lot of chaos attribute damage..」
[This is why the presence or absence of a main tank is important in the [Evil Gap] pattern. These self-destructing clones will definitely deal damage to the person who kills them..
In other words, whether it's a famous swordsman or a renowned shrine, even if the damage is high, it doesn't help anything here..
Kwaaang-!
If you were a weak magician, this is a level of damage that would have been a one-shot goal..
My whole body feels numb.
Even if you have pain tolerance, it's still like this. If it had been, there would have been a sound every time it exploded..
Cheeeeeeeeeek-!
The black liquid that sticks to the entire body melts and smokes..
In areas where the condition is bad, the muscles have already sloughed off and the bones inside have been exposed..
However, there is no problem.
Because I am a dark barbarian who inherited the legacy of vampires..
「The character will not die until the heart is destroyed due to the passive skill [Source of Darkness].」
All you have to do is protect your heart somehow..
Well, at this rate, it seems like it's just a matter of time.…….
Clink!
Even at the moment of pulverizing the corpses and clearing a path, countless glass bottles are flying..
In addition, the priests who are following in a hurry are pouring in heals as much as they can..
“It was dangerous just now! Don't take on too much at once!”
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
“If you heard me, answer me.!”
No, would that be easy?.
[In the [Giant] state, the threat level depends on the size. In other words, the probability of attracting aggro from monsters increases..
But for Barbarians, who are naturally large, the increase is close to crazy levels..
In fact, it is no different from constant provocation mode..
It was thanks to this that the explorers who followed were able to travel comfortably..
Because everyone is flocking to me.
“Hey!! can't hear me—”
“I hear it.”
Still, when I adjusted my pace according to McGrane's advice, Misha's brother and another melee fighter who were right behind me burst into self-immolation..
but…….
“fuse! What does the priest do? Uh, hurry up and get treatment.!”
It's not trustworthy at all to catch two or three and make such a fuss..
I also don't like the fact that the priest's heals are distributed..
Above all, isn't it possible to maximize the passive effect by adjusting the pace?.
「The character's health is below 50%..」
「Passive skill [Hero's Path] increases all resistance and resistance values..」
Orc Hero's Passive Skill [Hero's Path].
This skill, which is activated when health is below half, increases all types of defense values..
And according to my research…….
‘20% When it is below the maximum value effect is applied..’
This is why Orc Hero Essence was needed in the first place..
No matter what color essence it is, the passive is the same.
“Okay, you both go back..”
“what? i still can—”
Hey, dealers and such are trying to imitate the noble role of tankers..
“Something could appear from behind too?.”
Soon I coaxed the two dealers with good words and sent them to the rear..
McGrane, who was watching from behind, didn't say anything this time..
I just shouted like this.
“There are only 10 minutes left. The future is important, so please cheer up a little more..”
Yeah, I'm there cheering.

5Rank Explorer Taillon Karstein.
As he steps back from the front line, a middle-aged man talks to him..
“Oh, are you here now??”
“Yes, Hernesion..”
As soon as Taillon nodded, the face of Anton Hernesion, the wizard of the regular 7 team he belongs to, brightened..
“Yes, the vice-captain made a good decision. You never know what might appear behind you, so you have to pay attention here too. Isn't it??”
“Yes, that's right…….”
Taillon answered weakly, swallowing the bitter feelings in his throat..
And then he looked away as if to avoid conversation..
At the end of that gaze was a barbarian..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
Countless monsters flock in the dark.
And the barbarian, who looks more monstrous than those monsters, shouts and wields a mace..
Kwaaang-!
Taillon chewed his lip while listening to the explosion sound, which made it meaningless to even count how many times it had been already..
Crackling-
The vice-captain made a good decision.?
You never know what might appear behind you?
I was disgusted with myself for nodding my head and pretending not to know that question..
‘Shit.’
the truth was simple.
It wasn't even the vice-captain who told me to step back in the first place. It was that barbarian.
He couldn't say anything when he was told to get out of the colony, where his half-brother belonged and where the half-mage that matched his brother was a wizard.…….
The barbarian who was considered only a warrior on the team.
[Something could appear from behind too?.]
Tellion could not refute those words, which he said without even looking back..
No, I didn't..
It was a short time, but I thought it wasn't something a person would do..
Kwaaang-!
One swing of the weapon immediately brings back terrible pain..
No matter how nimble you are, you cannot avoid it..
The problem is that it makes the body dull..
Even though I have to swing the weapon without stopping, my hands become stiff and do not move..
truly pathetic.
“Hey, don't worry too much. If you can't feel pain, anyone can do it..”
Could it be that I couldn't manage my facial expressions?.
The man next to him spoke as if to comfort him..
Likewise, one of only two remaining warriors who withdrew from the front lines with him..
“I heard that most Essences with Pain Resistance have a poor reputation, but if this type of tactic is possible, it would be necessary to re-evaluate..”
Despite the man's comfort, he kept his mouth shut..
Because I thought so too at first.
Not only is it possible to pour out potions like that only if you have pain tolerance, but even the role of that barbarian and you are different in the first place..
It's like fighting on the front line as a warrior, but…….
Rather than wasting time by parrying with the body, one's role is to aim for the moment's opportunity and plunge a blow into the enemy's neck..
Kwaaang-!
So it's a natural result.
There's no need to even feel ashamed.
Yeah, I thought so..
but…….
“Behel—laaaaa!”
The more I look at that big back, the more doubts I have..
‘How can you not hesitate at that point?……?’
Flesh caught in the explosion flows down like water..
The charging animal bites the exposed bone with its teeth..
But even in the midst of all this, that barbarian swings his weapon accurately without the slightest hesitation..
Unlike my rigid body,.
I'm doing what needs to be done without stopping..
‘But this is something anyone can do?’
Is it possible?.
I heard that just because you have pain tolerance doesn't mean you can't feel pain completely.…….
Even if that's not the case, that's true.
“They say no one can match a barbarian in terms of bravery, and that was true..”
“It almost looks like someone who doesn't know death..”
Just because you have potions, priests, and vampire essence doesn't mean you're invincible..
As a famous explorer said:.
There is no being that does not die within the labyrinth..
The same goes for that barbarian.
‘There's no point in denying it anymore.’
Ironically, after admitting it, I felt lighter. Doing one's job quietly in a life-threatening situation.
How many people can't even do this simple thing?.
What that barbarian is doing right now is absolutely not something anyone can do..
As you can see just by looking at the reactions of those around you, things have changed compared to before..
“The vice-captain's insight is truly amazing. I didn't expect the author to accomplish that mission so well..”
“Does anyone know what that guy's name was? A person like that would definitely be known to some extent.…….”
“How did the conversation with the vice-captain go earlier? If someone like that joins the clan, I think he will be very reassuring.…….”
Even if you don't know the details, such as pain tolerance, you can't help but feel it when you see it..
That barbarian saved their lives..
“It's scary to think what the situation would have been like without the author..”
“Did you say Miss Misha? What on earth is that friend??”
“Ugh, I don’t know.…….”
Someone asked Banpoon's younger brother a question, but unfortunately he couldn't get a proper answer..
But as he listened to the mutterings of Hernesion, the wizard next to him, he thought:.
“If Vulcan, who was called the hero of the Barbarians, came back alive, it would look like this.…….”
There's no need to wonder what that barbarian's name is anymore..
“It's over! the end is in sight!!”
“speed up!”
Because soon everyone will know.

「The field effect [Evil Gap] disappears..」
***
The moment I came out of the darkness.
Whoa whoa—!
A roaring sound like a storm is brewing..
And at the same time, a dark red ray of light shoots from the ceiling toward the center of darkness..
Kwaaaaang—!!
A sight that looks like the end is coming.
McGrane muttered while looking at this..
“It was close..”
“I agree..”
There was nothing left beyond the darkness that disappeared like fog..
Where the orc colony used to be, there are only traces of the destroyed land..
My head, heated by the excitement of battle, cools down..
Maybe if it was a little too late to get out…….
‘[The source of darkness] and it must have been thrown away on the spot..’
In fact, it was funny to end by saying it was breathtaking..
Spiritual power at the end.
In other words, [Giantification] stopped as MP ran out, and the clones began to flock in like a tidal wave, as if all the explorers who had gone to the other side were gone..
Just escaping on time was a miracle..
Still, everything is not over yet.
‘No, rather, the real time to pray starts now..’
I quickly checked the number of survivors..
There were exactly 30 people..
This is because many of the explorers who followed in exchange for equipment at the last minute died..
‘In other words, the probability is 1 in 30. No, if you add Missha, does that mean it is 1 in 15?…….’
The probability should be low, but it is difficult to feel reassured..
I didn't relax and watched others change..
It was that time.
“rain, bjorn……?”
Misha's voice comes from next to me..
A voice that seems somewhat embarrassed.
“Uh, for some reason my body doesn’t move.…….”
When I turn my head and look at Misha, I see her stiff face..
「Misha Karlstein has been designated as [Prey].」
「Misha Karlstein is incapacitated..」
Fuck, is this true??
McGrane gave an inexplicable exclamation..
“That's amazing. I didn't know it would come from you..”
“Why, why does everyone look at me like that?……?”
There is no time to explain every detail..
I asked just in case..
Staring straight into Misha's older brother's eyes.
“Do you want to take him with you??”
“Well, that's…….”
“That sounds like trouble. Because it is difficult for us to make any more sacrifices..”
McGrane firmly draws a line on behalf of Oppa, who is having a hard time answering..
However, I asked again.
“Do you think the same? No matter what your relationship is, you are still my younger brother. Are you going to let him die like this??”
“Rain, Bjorn… … . I don't know what it is, but I'm okay so stop…….”
It's okay, what's okay?.
Your life depends on it.
“So the answer is?”
When I asked again strongly, the guy looked at McGrane and gave a short answer..
“For me... This is more important than family.”
Damn, it's probably because I don't think of them as family..
Anyway, this is a guy I don't like until the end..
“I wasted precious time.”
Muttering that, I picked up Misha, who had become a log, and tied him with a cloth..
And I quickly checked the time..
[23 : 45]
There are about 15 minutes left until the labyrinth closes..
If it's short, it's short, if it's long, it's long..
「Riakis, Lord of Chaos, awakens.」
I think it will be the longest 15 minutes of my life..
