Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 96
96angry barbarian trophy (3)
“haha! He's hot like a barbarian.!”
The Baron laughed out loud at my decision..
It was a laugh I could only spit out because I knew nothing about barbarians. Barbarians are not completely fearless..
As Einar said the other day.
[We were born as warriors. If you don't fight you die.]
They just move forward with fear.
Because that's what has to be done.
My choice this time was the same.
As calm as it has been so far, maybe something big will happen this time.?
‘I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious…….’
But so what?.
If you choose to avoid it because you are afraid of a future that has not yet been decided, the only end will be destruction..
With that kind of mentality, how will you enter the labyrinth and make rational decisions??
If I had done that in the first place, I wouldn't have been alive..
“I came to tell the Count. He was very happy?”
As I sat quietly gathering my thoughts, the Baron soon came back..
It looks like I was quite satisfied with my choice..
“Ah, but is that necklace really that important??”
A question that seems certain that the winning prize had a big influence on my decision..
I didn't deny it either.
“Aren’t number items expensive when sold?.”
“Hmm… If that's you, then that's it..”
The look on his face suggested that he thought I had some other reason, but the Baron didn't inquire too deeply..
I just asked this.
“By the way, how strong are you??”
“……?”
“Looking at your aspirations, doesn't it seem like you're really thinking about winning? Are you that confident??”
I chuckled..
The question of how strong you are.
There were too many monsters in this world to answer that question with confidence..
but…….
“Actually, I don't even want to win. But if you lose too easily, I'll probably lose face.—”
In front of him, ‘apprentice knight’’.
In other words, if we assume that he is a level 3 explorer, the story is different..
“Oh, don't worry about that..”
I answered, interrupting the Baron..
I wasn't worried about this from the beginning..
“10Seconds is enough.”
“Is that enough??
Looking at the Baron tilting his head, I declared:.
“A decent guy can break everyone's head before that..”
This was sincere, without any exaggeration or exaggeration..
But was that sincerity conveyed to the outside world??
“Hee, hee hee!”
The butler who suddenly made eye contact started a match..
***
article.
As in the Middle Ages, they were the epitome of force here as well..
Of course, assuming that the ‘apprenticeship’ is taken off,.
‘What kind of article is it that even an auror can't use??’
The knight's fear lies in his aura.
Ignores defense, ignores 90% anti-magic power 90%.
A combination of Auror's deception and systematically developed practical swordsmanship that allows you to cut down virtually anything..
This alone really makes me look like a monster.…….
‘Raise your level with 'elixir' and use your enormous financial power to consume even high-level essences.?
‘This is why vested interests never change in humans..’
A world where different races are rampant and magic is real..
A knight was a spear and shield that protected vested rights..
Considering that the maximum level that can be raised with an elixir is 5, a proper knight can cut down several high-level explorers by himself..
That's why knights are specialized in interpersonal warfare..
but…….
‘If you are an apprentice, at most level 3 or lower. As for Jeong Soo-rae, there won't be anything higher than level 7..’
This also assumes the maximum.
Few nobles would invest this much in a guy who can't even use an Auror yet..
‘Actually, the tournament isn't the problem.…….’
It takes next time..
As for the Count's excessive interest,.
If some barbarian suddenly wins, there is a good chance that the vested interests will look at me with unkind eyes..
But now that the decision has been made, lingering regrets are a luxury.
‘Let's just focus on this for now.’
It was a time when we decided to worry about the future after we won, and spent time quietly in a corner thanks to the Baron's consideration..
“You said something arrogant earlier..”
Three men in knightly armor approached..
He was the guy I remembered everything about..
Even if it was just a passing relationship, there was no way I would forget it because I saw it today..
“10Seconds is enough? Like a stupid barbarian, did he get so caught up in clowning that he forgot his topic??”
First of all, this guy.
When he was playing with the nobles in the outdoor banquet hall, he was a guy who taunted them by saying he was a little clown or something..
The rat-like front teeth were impressive, so I just stared at them, and the guy next to me spoke as if he was touching the baton..
“Barbarian, you will have to earnestly ask your ancestors not to meet me. I'll cut off your head in one fell swoop. Of course it won't even take 10 seconds..”
I don't know your name because you didn't reveal it..
This is a guy who says he farts loudly, says his warrior pride is a thing of the past, and shows that he is an asshole..
Looking at the way he speaks, he seems to have the trait of being bluff.…….
“When I meet you—”
Just as the baton was about to be passed to the next runner, he quickly stood up and stopped talking..
I'm careful not to make it as small as possible.…….
At this point, I had no choice but to ask honestly..
“Do you guys have a serious problem with your head??”
Still, I said it in a way..
‘'Are you an asshole?' If you ask me this, wouldn't it be possible to constitute a crime of insulting nobility?.
“What, what?”
“Do you think it would be scary if they came rushing in like cowards and did this? He's doing things that even a three-year-old warrior in his tribe wouldn't do.!”
“……What a coward, how dare you insult us—”
“If not, something! Without the Baron by my side, I suddenly gained courage that I never had before! What a great honor.!”
“Well, that's……!”
Something he never did when the Baron was around..
When I pointed that out, the driver, Samdori, was as scared as a goldfish. However, since I am an unbiased barbarian, I didn't think they had a speech impediment..
I guess he was just confused.
They probably didn't know that I would expose their disgusting behavior in such a loud voice..
“That's why I asked! I heard that being a knight is something to be proud of! But, taking advantage of a situation of ‘numerical superiority’ to do such a childish thing to ‘a fellow participant’? There must be something wrong with your head, isn't it?!”
A shout that accurately reflects what they did..
“Okay, stop! Can't you shut that mouth?!”
Knight Samdori’s expression became urgent..
It's a natural thing to do.
It was ugly and all, but if things continued like this, I was going to end up as the guy who was told by the barbarian that he had a problem with his head..
However, did you think that further conversation would only increase the commotion??
“……We'll see!”
The Samdols let go of their anger and left..
Maybe it's because he's a local, but it's a bonus that he left a line that went beyond cliches and was cringy..
Because my heart was wonderful, I responded too..
“Anyway, don't worry too much! When we meet later, I will definitely get rid of the problem in your head.!”
Did my sincerity reach you??
I couldn't tell just by looking at their backs quickly moving away..
***
It's just a momentary happening anyway.
The banquet, which was full of various attractions, was already at its peak..
In other words, the moment has come when the tournament prepared by the Count opens..
“They say the barbarian I saw during the day is coming out. Aren’t you really looking forward to it??”
“Hmm, I'm not sure. So you're not an explorer? Although he recently gained fame, I heard he has less than a year of experience.?”
The location is an outdoor banquet hall on the lawn..
The surrounding area was already crowded with people, and some nobles even set up chairs on the terrace of the second floor of the mansion to get a good view..
As I sat quietly in the prepared barracks, the Baron spoke to me as if he were some kind of coach..
“Are you not even nervous??”
“Can not be done.”
“Phew, you really have a heart made of steel. I'm so excited.”
I don't know the praise attached to the front, but the excitement behind it seemed true..
When I see people promising bonuses that I didn't even ask for,.
“If you win, I'll give you 1 million stones more. So cheer up. Because my face depends on you..”
“I'll try!”
Is it because I suddenly received financial treatment??
I suddenly feel motivated.
“Lord Saboan of Baron Serpia and Lord Arpheon of Viscount Henslevania, please take your seats.!”
After some time passed, the first match was held..
The two knights, who went on stage and recited the duel oath, swung their swords in style, drawing cheers from the audience..
‘If you look at this, it really is a barbaric world..’
As I sneaked out of the barracks and watched the duel, I felt a strange feeling..
Would it be like seeing the Colosseum in Rome??
Actually there wasn't much difference.
There is a rule to be careful not to kill your opponent as much as possible, but…….
In other words, doesn't it mean that there is no problem even if you kill him?.
‘Well, it's even more strange that there are no casualties when fighting with a real sword..’
In fact, even though it was their first match, the two knights continued their bloody duel in the overheated heat..
As intense as it was, the moment when the winners and losers were divided was just as dramatic..
“The winner is Sir Arpheon by Viscount Henslevania.!”
The direction of the game was decided when the hand holding the sword was completely cut off..
Of course, the knight's arm, which had been injured by the priest, was quickly reattached, but the blood spattered like a fountain remained as clearly as the decoration on the stage..
but…….
“Wow!!”
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, I feel it all over again..
This is a different world.
And I already belong here too..
“Hehe, I guess seeing blood gets you excited too.?”
Well, I'm not sure about that..
I know it's my turn next.
“Sir Sylvania by Baron Hesse and Baron Martohan... Bjorn Jandel, please take your seat.!”
As instructed by the host, I passed through the crowd and went on stage. At that moment, a knight was coming up from the other side..
It was so elaborate.
I didn't know the name, so I couldn't figure it out just by looking at the bracket..
“Hehe, you look surprised.?”
I nodded slightly as if acknowledging it..
From the first match, one of the three knights is the opponent.?
Isn't it amazing?.
‘And that guy was the most obnoxious..’
Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth became long and curved..
I didn't hear that guy's resolution because he stopped trying to touch the baton at the end.…….
How can I forget that guy?.
[I heard it got that name because it was small in the first place.?]
He was the one who spread such ridiculous rumors..
It's a bit hard for me to say this, but,
And that too on human subjects..
***
Before the duel begins.
He recites the duel oath..
A clichéd oath to engage in a duel seriously with the honor of a knight on the line, and not to use sloppy or dishonest tactics..
Next it was my turn.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!!”
A barbaric cry that is literally savage, omitting elaborate rhetoric..
The crowd's excitement grew even more heated..
“Wow!!”
In the midst of all this, I'm muttering something as if I'm annoyed that I'm getting more attention... Sir, what are you doing?.
“It's vulgar and vulgar.”
What do you say, then you thought barbarians were noble??
Soon, under the guidance of the host, they approached each other and clashed their weapons..
He held out a long sword, and I held out a huge double-edged battle ax instead of the mace I had left behind at the baron's mansion..
‘……I'm not used to using blades..’
It's a pity, but the writing method won't be much different..
Just swing it like you normally would..
The results will probably be similar.
The only difference is whether it was cut or completely torn apart..
“Haha!”
As soon as the duel began, the snake quickly kicked off the ground and rushed at me..
It looks like he wants to repay the 10 second promise I made.…….
‘that's interesting.’
I took a step back and took a posture of observation..
This was my first time seeing a knight's swordsmanship, so I was curious.…….
Hwiik-!
Even though he is an apprentice, he is a knight and his sword is quite sharp..
“die!”
It's not some type of martial arts herbivorous diet..
A sword shot with a three-pronged illusion.
I wondered for a moment which one was real, but it was only a moment..
If you don't know what's real,
Wouldn’t it be enough to just cut it all out?.
‘I am now a barbarian too..’
Set the blade of the ax to the side and swing it as wide as possible..
That was enough.
kacang!
The sword's trajectory is distorted by strong force, and the thread begins to lose its balance..
But the guy didn't let go of the sword despite the shock..
Also, even though he may have been embarrassed, he turned his body and swung his sword towards my neck like a combo weapon..
‘Definitely not someone to look down on..’
A sword strike that draws a gentle curve from the bottom like a waterspout..
Anyway, I recognized the other person..
How many generations of swordsmanship has this been passed down??
‘Your weapon skills are several levels higher than mine..’
If the conditions were the same, I definitely wouldn't be able to beat this guy..
However, it was not a matter to be seriously concerned about..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
Because this guy and I are not in the same condition.
「The character used [Wild Eruption].」
「The character's threat value temporarily increases by 3 times, and the physical value increases proportionally to the character's threat value..」
There are still 10 seconds left to go..
