Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 84
84fire sewer (5)
Tuk.
As soon as the barbarian falls, scattering dust..
Amelia Lane Wales gritted her teeth and arched her back..
‘Is it the price of being careless?.’
My ribs went out..
Skin covered in blood is more than stingy, it is sore..
It seems like my organs are very damaged..
‘I don't know how long it's been like this.’
Your body will recover on its own soon..
But really, the pain I felt for the first time in a long time was so vivid..
I prided myself on being familiar with at least one pain..
eat.
I laughed out loud without realizing it..
No matter how conceited the result may be,.
It was absurd to think that it was a 3-month-old barbarian who created this situation..
‘He's an amazing person..’
It's not just about the abilities you have..
Instant judgment, and the boldness and determination to put it into action..
Above all, the will to live.
Suddenly I even think of that..
‘If we had met again later... … The results might have been different.’
Of course, this doesn't make sense in reality..
She grew up hearing that she had the greatest talent, and it was she who was in and out of the labyrinth for a whopping 20 years..
but…….
‘The problem is that you feel that way. Because it means that he is a dangerous person..’
It was only a month ago that we first met..
Even if I entered the labyrinth, I would have only been able to enter it once more..
But how did this barbarian change?.
The barbarian who couldn't even brush his collar brought him to this point..
Chii Iik-!
The body did not die even though its entire head was blown off, and began to repair its flesh..
Amelia walked slowly towards it..
plod-.
[There are several abilities that have the effect of overcoming death, such as [Source of Darkness].
But that doesn't mean they're invincible.
Just look at this barbarian..
plod-
My head was completely shattered, leaving me completely defenseless..
[[Eternal Living] is activated and recovery occurs quickly.?
It takes an enormous amount of time to recover from injuries of this magnitude, and even that becomes impossible when your soul power runs out..
That means.
If you make up your mind to kill, you can do it at any time..
But without hesitation, she sheathed the dagger and took out the potion..
No matter what anyone said,
‘I'm sure they weren't sent by the royal family, so there's no need to kill them..’
she is not a murderer.
***
There was a hint.
Voices heard from front and back at the same time.
If I had been smarter and calmer, I might have noticed the variable called [self-replication]..
If that were the case, Plan A and B would have been a little different..
‘Well, I guess the result would have been the same..’
I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a strange sensation as if my fragmented mind was being reassembled..
“That's a monster of regeneration..”
The first thing I saw was a psychopathic bitch..
“That's all better than a bottle of potion..”
“portion……?”
I raised my upper body with a cracking voice..
It was only after that that I noticed that my head was very swollen..
It doesn't look like it's all blood.…….
Could it be that this woman sprinkled a potion on me??
“why—”
“Didn't you kill me??”
I nodded..
Well, I'm glad I'm still alive…….
To be honest, I was sure I was dead the moment I lost consciousness..
The woman looked at me with an annoyed look in her eyes..
“you… Nothing has changed since then.”
“what……?”
“Just like back then, why do you rush at me whenever you see me? I never thought I'd say this, but don't you usually think about solving it through conversation first??”
If you say that, I have nothing to say..
It's all because of my habit of always assuming the worst..
I answered in a calm voice.
“If you were going to kill me, I thought that was the only way..”
When there is even a little gap.
Before the paralyzing poison spreads any further through the body..
I decided that I had to compete..
The woman just sighed briefly..
“why? I definitely would have let you go last time too.?”
The voice is still blunt, but somehow feels a little unfair..
But I was the one who was truly wronged..
“You said that with your own mouth, right? Now that I know about this place, I can't let you go..”
Even if he hadn't said that, Plan C, begging for his life, would have remained Plan A..
I would have wanted to fight this monster?
“I clearly remember saying that I couldn’t ‘just’ let it go..”
Either that or that.
For some reason, the woman had shown an accepting attitude from earlier, so I asked more boldly..
“So, what are you going to do with me now??”
“I have no intention of killing him. So get your hands off me now.”
I slowly stopped moving my arm toward the mace..
And said firmly.
“It's a misunderstanding.”
“misunderstanding?”
“I didn't intend to surprise you with this. only—”
“I was just trying to prepare for when I change my mind.?”
……Um, yeah that's it.
Because the best defense is offense.
When I neither confirmed nor denied, the woman stared down at me..
The look in their eyes as if there were some kind of crazy person out there..
“You really haven't changed at all.”
While saying that, the woman spat on the floor..
For a moment, I thought he was the grumpy type, but when I looked closely, it wasn't spit but blood..
It seems that my active defense before fainting did not cause any damage..
“……Didn't you take the potion??”
“Because I have that type of constitution.”
“Right.”
Although the explanation is insufficient in brief words, I saved words..
There are some essences that actually cause you to incur a penalty when you consume a potion..
Anyway, back to the point..
“Barbarian, eat this..”
A woman takes out something that looks like a pill from her bosom..
The dark thing looks like a cat vomited food..
“What is this……?”
“This is a medicine made by an alchemist in Noark. When taken, it completely erases one hour of memory..”
“They say it will erase your memories... … ? Then why didn't you use this when you met in the Land of the Dead??”
“Because it is not something that can be easily obtained. I wouldn't have had this in the first place if it hadn't been given to me to use in case of emergency..”
It's a precious thing..
But there is another question here.
It's definitely not something I would say in my current situation.…….
“It would be easier to kill them, so why bother using such a troublesome method??”
There is a saying that nothing is more precious than human life..
This only applies to the world I used to live in..
This is a world where there are countless things more valuable than human life..
For example, many people are still dying on earth for not being able to pay taxes..
In the meantime…….
‘They keep us alive even at the cost of using precious supplies.…….’
I said with certainty.
“There must be a reason for that..”
“……The reason I thought so?”
“If you kill five of us, the equipment alone will be worth tens of millions of stones..”
The woman was silent for a while at my sharp point..
I thought it was because I hit the nail on the head..
However, what came out after the silence was unexpected..
“What on earth do you think of me??”
“that…….”
As I was wondering if I could be honest, the woman interrupted me..
“You don't have to say it. Because I think I know.”
Looks like he got stabbed too.
But maybe I didn’t want to make excuses??
“Okay, whatever it is, think whatever you want. Because nothing changes anyway.”
The woman bends over, forces my mouth open, and forces the pill into my throat..
I throw it up later and it melts away without anything to do..
Grumbling!
It feels like something is on fire inside my head..
A completely different kind of sensation than pain.
“……Hey, I guess it's really just a loss of memory and that's the end.?”
“If not, do you have any other options??”
Uh, if you put it that way, I don’t really have anything to say.…….
The woman chuckled as she looked at me speechless..
“I haven't heard of any side effects. So sleep well, Barbarian..”
Well, if that's the case.
To be honest, I didn't feel relieved at all, but I closed my eyes..
But then, the woman opened her mouth as if she had just remembered something..
“Oh, so what was the other one??”
huh? Another one?
“Two ways to make people angry.”
Oh, that.
“That's right…….”
I literally lost my mind.

「Lethe's blessing seeps into the character's soul..」
「This is a soul that cannot be blessed. Blessings that seeped into your soul are removed.」

When I opened my eyes, I was in a sewer.
The stripped equipment was lying around haphazardly, and the same was true for my colleagues.
Tuk.
Using your hands as support, slowly raise your filth-covered body. And as he put on his Juseom Juseom gear, his colleagues also came to their senses one by one..
Everyone looked confused.
“Uh, this is the sewer……?”
“Oh, what on earth is this? We must have been chasing that evil villain.…….”
“Video recorder! If you check the video recorder... Damn it, it's broken.!”
Colleagues who can't remember whether what the psychopathic bitch said was true.
From what I heard, it seems that his last memory was following Hans E to the hideout.…….
‘……why am i fine?’
Even when I slowly recall my memories again, I clearly remember what happened before I lost consciousness..
Why on earth?
The moment I thought about the reason.
‘Wait, so what happened to that bitch??’
Belatedly, I remembered Elisa and came to my senses..
‘……Could it be that she saved him alive and took him with him??’
First of all, you can't see it around you..
Damn it, if I knew it would be like this, I would have paid a bounty and killed it then.—
“Everyone, look over there.!!”
“uh? Isn’t that the girl??”
what?
I immediately turn my head and see a woman lying down a little away..
Blond hair covered in dirt.
A cute back of the head that looks like you want to break it.
It must be Elisa's bitch..
“Lord, you're dead!”
The dwarf runs out in a huff, checks the pulse, and pronounces death..
This added to the confusion..
“Ears, ghosts will cry. Why on earth do we have no memory and why is this woman dead?…….”
“De, Dwalki, I wonder if that monster you mentioned has come out.?!”
All sorts of speculations running rampant with perplexing voices..
Rotmiller, who managed to maintain his composure, came up with a plausible hypothesis..
“…I think it was all this woman's doing..”
“what? This woman did it?”
“Perhaps we found this woman after a long chase. And she probably won.”
Rottmiller presented Elisa's limbs as the basis for his claim. If it weren't for my mace, it would be difficult to completely crush it like that.?
“Well, now that I think about it, I can feel traces of my magic in this woman..”
Soon, Dwalki also found traces of [paralysis poison] in the corpse, strengthening his suspicions..
So now there is only one question left for them:.
“Then why don't I remember anything??”
Why did I lose my memory.
“If my guess is correct, we were going to save this woman and take her back to the city. but… I wonder if this woman came to her senses and tried to do something..”
It was a plausible story..
I'm sure I would have analyzed the situation that way even if I had lost my memory..
“surely… This could be possible with the power of an evil spirit of which little is known..”
“Hahaha! Still, seeing it dead like this, it seems like we somehow managed to resolve it.!”
“…Bjorn, what do you think??”
“well…….”
I thought for a moment and then answered.
The conclusion they came to by guessing among themselves is quite far from the truth that I remember.…….
“I think Rottmiller is right..”
There's no need to say it.
If it becomes known that I haven't lost my memory, I don't know when that psychopathic bitch will come looking for me again..
“Let’s go outside and visit the temple first. It's not just that I've lost my memory, it's also that something may have gone wrong with my body..”
Everyone was ready to leave in a hurry after hearing Rotmiller's worried words..
So, I'm done with this thought..
‘It's something hidden underground in the sewer.…….’
Secrets I don't know exist in this world.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't curious about this person.…….
‘From now on, I won't even go into the sewer..’
Isn’t life more important than curiosity?.
