Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 118

118 Fire Dark Clouds (2)

Level 5 monster troll.

He’s no different than the pronoun of regeneration, but it’s the same if his heart or head explodes.

But I invested all my team’s energy into cutting off his ‘arm’.

And finally.

[Ahhh-!!]

It sealed the arm of the one left and made it incapacitated.

In other words, it means that an environment has been established in which Missha can put only deals without taking any risks.

Tadat.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, who was vigilant about the troll’s long arms and focused on keeping distance, took the first leap.

And it landed on my shoulder—

Whoops!

At the same time, the twin swords were pierced into the eyeballs.

No matter how high your physical resistance, there are bound to be areas of weakness.

[Yeah-!!!]

When the sword enchanted with acid blood was stuck in his weak eyes, the struggle of the troll got even worse.

Nemil, what power… … .

“Rain, Bjorn?”

“Don’t worry here, keep stinging!”

With all his might, he clasped his arms around his thighs and shouted. Knowing that there was no time to relax, Misha focused on cutting instead of answering.

The first variable occurred here.

Whoop, whoop, whoop-

At the moment when Misha shoved a knife into her eyelids.

Cock! Kak!

It sounds like scratching.

So far this was what I expected.

Humans also have bones behind their eyeballs.

However… … .

“… Rain, Bjorn? It’s so tight I couldn’t get in!”

Bone strength was an issue.

Even if it was a thick arm bone, I thought that this would be enough to break a bone and shove it into the brain.

Yes, it’s not easy. This is it.

“Continue.”

“Okay!”

Soon, Misha held the ‘Viper’s Fang’ in reverse and continued to lower her eyelids.

Then, the second variable occurred.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Time lags and the trolls start running rampant.

The blind man gave up even trying to separate me and rushed to one place with his only free feet.

the problem is… … .

“Dwalky! They’re aiming for dwalkies.”

Somehow, the eyeless troll cub ran towards the place where Dwalkie was.

[Ahhh!!]

Rotmiller hugged Dwalkie and avoided it, but the guy who pursued him violently as if he could see the future.

“horsepower! You must be feeling the magic!”

I didn’t know about this phenomenon either.

Is it really like a dwarf horse that instinctively senses and follows magic?

‘Nimiral.’

Whatever the reason.

I thought it was cooked rice, and in an instant, things started to go crazy.

Less than ten seconds later, Dwalkie and Rottmiller scrambled into a corner.

It was natural.

I don’t know if it was Misha who was there.

Because Rotmiller’s physical level wasn’t high enough to run away against a level 5 monster while holding one person.

[Ahhh-!!!]

A troll rushing towards them, who were eventually driven into a corner. The dwarf tried to stop it somehow, but to no avail.

Quang!

At the troll’s kick, the dwarf flew like a soccer ball and crashed into the wall. At the same time, the MP ran out and [Balance Weight] seems to have been released… … .

Damn, at a moment like this.

“Rain, Bjorn?”

“Oh, okay!”

Still, the dwarf took advantage of the momentary gap that Rotmiller had to get out of the corner.

Of course, it was only to buy a little time.

Maybe three seconds?

thud! thud! thud!

Rotmiller running towards the other side was overtaken by the troll and rolled to the floor to avoid being kicked.

Now I couldn’t see the situation between the two of them in my position.

thud! thud! thud!

In that state, the troll kicks him down.

“Hey, hey… … !”

I can’t hear people being trampled on because I’m rolling hard, but… … .

If we leave the trolls like this for a little longer, one of them will surely die.

Dwalky, Rottmiller.

No, maybe both.

Koo-!

It was a crossroads of choice.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha was unaware of the situation below because she was hard at work stabbing the knife.

All decisions were mine.

Koo-!

If I let my arms go down from here, I’ll be able to protect Dwalkie and Rotmiller.

But in the end, that choice will lead to annihilation.

If I fall, the troll will attack Misha with its free arm… … .

Because the chance will never come again.

‘Shit.’

Close your eyes tightly.

And I don’t even think about it.

Wasn’t it something that would happen someday?

Koo-!

[Dungeon & Stone] is not a game that pursues adventures full of dreams and hopes.

As the game progressed, the death of a friend was inevitable, and if only the main character survived, the adventure continued.

Yes, it was such a game.

This damn game is—

Kwajik-!

Then I heard a squawking sound from below.

The sound of flesh and bones being crushed, which I have heard countless times since I woke up here.

Feeling something strange about this, Misha stopped cutting.

Of course, it was only for a short time.

“Continue!!!”

At my cry, Misha resumed cutting.

Kak kak, kak kak, kak kak!

I clenched my teeth and gave all my strength to restrain the troll’s remaining arms.

That was the time.

Puff-!

A dwalkie kicked off by a troll comes into view. The spine is bent so that the body is deformed.

This made me realize one thing.

It wasn’t the information I wanted to know, but… … .

So, the first sound I heard earlier must have come from Rotmiller’s body.

“… … Whoops!”

Did you see the Dwalkie that rose to our eye level?

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha flinched for a moment, then lowered her sword with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

“Die! die! die! this monster! I mean die!!!”

In order to survive, he had to watch his colleagues suffer, but the situation turned to the worst.

The curse was lifted by Dwalky.

An arm that heals quickly with the effect of [Super Regeneration] applied normally.

「Misha Karlstein has cast [Ice Crushing].」

「Misha Karlstein has cast [Ice Crushing].」

「Misha Karlstein has cast [Ice Crushing].」

Knowing that there was no time, Misha did her best to lower her sword. It was a moment when every minute and every second that seemed like an apocalypse continued.

Kak! Cack, cack… Kwajik!

At the same time as a refreshing crashing sound is heard somewhere.

The body of the troll that was holding onto it with its whole body disappears.

“You have killed the troll. EXP +5”

***

The dead troll’s body was reconciled to light and disappeared, Misha and I fell to the floor.

Normally, we would have balanced and landed on both feet along the way, but we didn’t have the energy to do that.

Koo!

As I stretched out on the floor and stared blankly at the ceiling, a magic stone the size of a fist fell to the side of my head.

tuk. Degur-

The loot was all there was.

There was no dramatic essence coming out.

Once again, I felt that this moment was real.

Yeah, it’s not like a dream.

The choice I just made.

The figure of Dwalkie, who flew away in a miserable state due to that choice… … .

“Rotmiller! Dwalky!”

Throwing away the desire to rest, he forced himself to stand up. Misha was already running to pick up her fallen comrade.

“Rotmiller! Calm down!”

“Hey, shake it… mind… … !”

“Mi, I’m sorry!”

To his surprise, Rotmiller was alive.

One leg was crushed while breaking, but it is not a life-threatening injury.

Literally heaven helped.

If the head or upper body had been trampled on, that would have been the end.

“Better than me… De, Dwalkie first… … .”

“Ah, I see!!”

As Misha ran to Dwalky, I turned my gaze to see the dwarf.

No major trauma was noticeable.

‘Did you just bang your head against the wall and pass out… … .’

The problem was Dwalkie.

“Rain, Bjorn!! What to do! De, Dwalkie is breathing, not breathing… … .”

“Look out.”

Pushing Misha away, he taps Dwalky’s pulse.

Breathing has stopped, but my heart is beating faintly.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Meaning there is still room for revival.

Chewy profit-!

First, he takes out a bottle of an advanced potion and pours it into Dwalkie’s mouth.

I know this is only a temporary measure.

Her spine was half-folded, and her leg was also broken by the impact of the fall. Also, the internal organs were damaged and blood was continuously flowing from the nose and mouth.

And Dwalkie is an ordinary human.

It is also a class of wizards who are famous for their paper bodies.

‘Fuck.’

I pressed my lips together.

It’s unclear if this level of injury can be saved with advanced potions, and… … .

“Dwalky! Be patient! You ate the potion, so you’ll be fine soon!”

Even if he survives, he will surely be accompanied by great sequelae.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have used the best potion there—

“portion… … .”

He turned his head to Rottmiller’s voice as he vomited hard. At first, I thought he was asking for a potion from himself.

However… … .

“Write this.”

Rotmiller, shivering in pain, reached out with a bottle of potion toward us.

“Superlative, it’s a potion.”

What, top-notch potions?

that there is… … ?

“I bought it in case you didn’t know, G. Write this to him… … .”

Without saying anything, Misha ran to get a potion, and I immediately stopped pouring it into my mouth.

“If you keep eating like this, you won’t be able to walk forever.”

“What?”

Potions are not omnipotent.

If you recklessly eat potions without aligning the bones, you will have a bigger sequel.

therefore-

While Misha was feeding the potion little by little, I put my broken legs and spine back into place. It’s about the same level as the approximate location, but… … .

What’s left is the potion will do something for you.

Isn’t it a top-notch potion that heals even a severed arm?

“Whew… … .”

As I watched Dwalkie in heavy tension, I let out a long breath that I had been holding back.

breathing returned.

It will take a while longer to come to his senses, but his pale complexion has gotten much better.

“… … It’s been an hour.”

The rest would be good enough for an advanced potion.

Of course, there was no time to sit still and rest.

“Do not stand still, help.”

“Ah, okay. What can I do?”

“Bring Hikurod and lay him next to him. Just in case you don’t know, I’ll give you a bottle of lesser potion as well.”

While Misha followed my instructions, I watched over the injured Rottmiller’s leg.

“Dwalkie, how is it?”

“Don’t worry. Thanks to you, my life was saved. So, what are you worried about now?”

“That too… Right. Whoops.”

“It will be quite painful.”

“I know… Ouch! Shut it off!!”

After receiving the ‘potion’, Rotmiller fainted after suffering a groan, and all measures that can be taken immediately are over.

Was this the same for Misha?

“Bjorn… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha looks at me with eyes that seem to want confirmation.

I smiled and answered.

“Yeah, they all lived.”

“really… thank god… really… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha droops down to see if her body has loosened up.

It was only when he heard my answer that he seemed to realize it.

I still don’t really feel it.

‘really… No one would have died.’

I didn’t want to die.

No, I’m more than happy that everyone survived.

But there were too many reluctant parts to be happy.

It will be… … .

I’m good.

Plan well in advance.

When a variable bursts out, he reacts well.

So the crisis is not over.

‘Luck… It was good.’

I was just lucky.

After acknowledging this, it was only then that I realized it.

What it means to live as an explorer in this damn world.

Today, like a movie, everyone survived.

However… … .

‘maybe… It won’t always be like today.’

I know better than anyone.

It’s impossible for someone like me to have such luck again and again.

***

As time passed, I calmed myself down one by one.

The first one to wake up was a dwarf.

“… … Yes, they are all alive.”

After confirming the news of everyone’s survival, the dwarf didn’t laugh out loud as usual.

Just repeating the same words as if praying.

“Good luck. Okay… I’m really glad… … .”

In fact, if he had been an explorer for several years, he would have had quite a bit of experience. Because the death of a comrade was like the fate of an explorer.

“Even after meeting the trolls, everyone is fine, so when I return, I think I will have to donate to the temple… … .”

It was Rottmiller who woke up after the dwarf.

I crawled over and spit out an apple mixed with excuses.

“sorry. I didn’t expect a troll to behave like that when he was blind.”

“… How could that be your fault? We should say thank you. Without you, none of them would have survived.”

“However… … .”

“Your judgment was right, so don’t blame yourself.”

Already, Rotmiller seemed to know the choices I had made to both of them.

There’s no way you wouldn’t know

I yelled at you to keep going.

“Ouch, uh… … .”

After some time passed, Dwalky groaned and opened his eyes.

“Don’t move. The wound hasn’t healed yet.”

“everyone… are you okay… … ?”

“We are all fine! So don’t worry!”

“ah… Miss, Missha… I’m glad you’re safe… … .”

“You idiot! What are you talking about?”

“That, that… … ! Cool! That, I guess… … ? Ha ha ha.”

When Dwalkie, who was in the most serious state, woke up, the atmosphere that had become infinitely heavy was at least brighter.

“Haha, the five of us catching trolls. I can’t even brag about it. No one will believe you!”

The dwarf started joking around as usual, and this was the same for Misha.

“Ugh, there should have been a Jeongsu! I’m kind of embarrassed. There’s nothing to gain from going through that hardship, right?”

“Didn’t you save your life?”

“Rotmiller, it’s a problem because you’re too greedy if you just look around.”

“Yeah, you said you used a top-notch potion this time too? Oh, of course, don’t worry. We will all gather together and pay the price.”

“Then I think I’ll relax a little bit.”

“Oh, but Bjorn. Now what to do next? Aren’t you thinking of going higher here?”

“after… What the hell do you think of me? Of course, I will rest for a while.”

“No, Misha? Why do you ask Bjorn to see a doctor? Are you sure I am the leader of the team?”

“ah… Did you?”

It’s a dwarf question anyway.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My suggestion to stay on the floor until the labyrinth was closed was accepted without any objection.

That’s because I wasn’t in a state to continue the exploration.

We took a break to heal our weary bodies and minds where we had a fierce battle with the trolls.

“The labyrinth is closed.”

“The character will move to Rafdonia.”

A week later, my sixth expedition came to an end.
