Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 213

213 cards discarded (2)

The first-floor crystal cave covered in fog.

A man giggled and chatted with a colleague in the place where the corpse was shriveled and the smell of fishy blood filled it.

The content of the conversation didn’t matter.

It’s a dirty conversation like whether the woman I killed earlier wasn’t pretty, so it’s a bit of a waste.

It always ended in dissatisfaction.

“tt, I’m not going to have any fun just staying here.”

“Haha, if you think of it differently, doesn’t it mean that less risk is good?”

“… … You’re being uselessly positive.”

“Still, it’s not wrong, isn’t it?”

“Well, it is, but… … .”

The man cleared his dissatisfaction and took the jerky from his pocket and chewed it. It was the meat he ate for a very long time, as he was nothing more than an end.

Because he couldn’t enter the labyrinth for six months, the Noark he belonged to was suffering from severe food shortages.

‘… … Can you win?’

The man shook his head in anxiety that suddenly bloomed.

It’s not about winning.

have to win

Only then can you eat and live like a human.

Even if it’s an underground city where there’s not a single ray of light there.

“Rex, focus on your mission.”

The man, who had been resting with his back against the wall, sighed at the captain’s words and corrected his posture.

“You look dissatisfied.”

The man spoke frankly.

“You haven’t seen anyone for over two hours.”

“therefore?”

“It means no one will come anyway. All the cubs that were already going inside went in, and all the cubs that didn’t were either splayed out or bounced away.”

Even the area to which they are assigned is quite far from the central darkness.

That means you won’t have to run into any of those who came from inside.

“Still, just in case you don’t know, stay alert.”

“Yes.”

The man replied roughly to the commander’s words, and stood at one of the fork in the road.

I couldn’t see far because of the fog.

But there was no anxiety.

What’s the problem if something pops out of there?

‘How many people are here?’

Later, when you return to Noark, you will have more loot to take with you.

That’s the car I was thinking of.

“Leader! It’s popular!”

A colleague who was standing guard at the crossroads on the other side exclaimed. The man grabbed his weapon and moved towards it.

‘Who really came?’

I was a little surprised, but still not worried.

‘Are you the one who doesn’t know the situation here?’

Maybe it will.

If I knew the circumstances of this place even a little, I wouldn’t have thought of going through this road.

He must have taken his way this way without knowing anything—

“uh?”

The man tilted his head.

No, it wasn’t just that.

Everyone listened with questionable faces.

Koo! Koo! Koo!

What the hell is this?

“The sound of footsteps?”

Someone sang it briefly, but this also didn’t explain it.

How does this sound like human footsteps?

I don’t know if it’s a large monster like a troll.

‘Uh, but there are no such monsters on the first floor?’

With an unknown sense of incongruity, the man breathed power into the hand holding the weapon.

That was then.

“Behel—raa!!”

It was revealed as it vomited out a wild cry through the hazy mist.

“What, what! This bastard!!”

“Stop it!!”

It was a barbarian.

with a very large body.

***

Survival means letting go.

What will you give up in order to survive?

This process is strictly prioritized.

Humans are rational animals.

heart-!

Doesn’t it appear often in movies?

A scene where a helicopter throws away its luggage in order to fly, to keep the ship from sinking, or to escape from the pursuit of the enemy.

The more you throw away, the higher your chances of survival.

However… … .

heart-!

The reality is quite different from the movie.

not so kind

What we have to give up for life is something other than luggage.

heart-!

Perhaps Versil knew that.

So he would have left us without any hesitation.

Leaving only this one word.

[Please do not complain.]

Of course I am not resentful.

Because I know it’s a completely rational decision.

She had priorities, and for that, she boldly cut everything else out.

Just like I am right now.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!!”

Scream out and give strength to your toes.

A sense of resistance that has never been felt in the shield held with both hands is transmitted in real time.

It feels like climbing a tsunami with one shield.

Well, maybe that’s not a very bad description.

Although the exaggeration is a little mixed.

“What, what! This bastard!!”

“Stop it!!”

Breaking the road at the forefront.

To jump over the distance of 20 minutes.

Pushing away a swarm of enemies.

Like a tank on the battlefield.

“Bjorn!!!”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha is right behind them.

The role is simple.

Defeating enemies pushed aside by my charge.

Sigh-!

It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill them in one shot.

After all, our goal isn’t to reduce their numbers, and… … .

Because the power is placed behind it.

“Hey, what a b*tch—!”

If Misha is the 1st strainer, the 2nd strainer is Raven and Uncle Bear carried by Ainar.

Aww-!

Crossbow arrows and magic are always flying to enemies that Misha has not been able to defeat before they even get up.

Of course, there is no problem even if it doesn’t end there.

There are still a lot of sieves left behind.

“Erwen, be careful!”

One-deal sisters consisting of Erwen and Daria sisters.

And the team of Takelan, who is ranked 5th on average, immediately following them, and the team that is located at the back of the chin.

It’s like medieval cavalry.

“Ahhh!!!”

The goal is only to rush.

Enemies not defeated in the lead are dealt with by the rear that follow. It doesn’t matter if there are enemies who survived the last strainer.

Wouldn’t that be a matter for the last resort to figure out?

‘It’s self-employed.’

When arranging this strategy and forming a formation, Skunk Jaw insisted on staying in the rear, even giving us the Wandering Fairy Sisters.

The idea was obvious.

It’s a form of rushing, so you must have decided that the front line would be the most dangerous. You must have thought that if an unexpected accident occurred, you could take your foot off.

Erwenne, who was a mercenary, was treated like a piece of trash.

‘You bastard.’

The most risky part of this strategy is also the back-end. Right now, everything will be taken care of in front of me and I will be able to suck the honey… … .

There is no way this state will last forever.

I didn’t know that the turning point would come so soon.

woo-woo-!!

A heavy shock transmitted through the shield.

Even if you put force on your toes, it will not be pushed forward.

I lowered the shield slightly and checked the field of vision in front of me.

“I’m going to see all the crazy people.”

A warrior from the Black Bear tribe, like Uncle Bear, was standing in my way. My body was 1.5 times smaller than me who was [giantizing].

However… … .

‘Nimiral.’

How strong is he?

Once again, I thought that the level of explorer on the side of Noark was considerable, but I did not worry too much.

“Barbarian, you are the hero of any story—”

The words the bear cub uttered fell out of one ear and shouted in the back.

“Raven, it’s now!!”

I am not a universal hero.

But, it’s the same for your opponent.

“Everyone get away!!”

At the same time as Raven’s warning sound was heard, an explosive shock rushed in from behind.

「Arua Raven has cast a level 6 secondary magic [Oxygen Explosion].」

A whopping 6th grade wind attribute auxiliary magic.

The reason I popped it behind me is simple.

The deal is low, but it has an advanced knockback roll.

“Ugh! what… … !”

After ending the tense power struggle, it uses the wind as its power to push back the enemy as if it were a sail.

and… … .

“Oh, no-!”

Kwajik.

Dash forward while trampling the face of the bear cub that lost its balance and fell backwards in place [Leap].

Well, he seems to be a tank too, so he won’t die just from this… … .

Whoops!

Soon after, a crackling sound was heard from behind.

Well, it looks like it’s stabbing something tofu.

The strength is high, but the physical resistance is low, right?

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!!”

The bear cub stopped movement for a while and the enemies gathered behind him, so he continued to charge again by doping his physical figure with [Feral Eruption].

However… … .

“You have to move faster!!”

Not as fast as before.

This was a very big problem.

One of the weak points of the cavalry is that when a breakthrough is prevented, it becomes surrounded.

“Hey, you crazy bastards!!”

“Kill!!”

Enemies knocked down by the charge rise up like zombies and rush to their comrades.

If you have been unilaterally breaking through the road so far, from now on, you have to go through this difficult battle.

Seocho, Pooh, Kwajik-! Aww!

A fierce battle sound is heard from behind.

Of course I don’t know the exact situation.

However, the more I did, the more I looked forward.

“Bjorn, don’t worry about your back!!”

Of course you are worried.

Isn’t human life a battlefield like flies?

I’m worried that someone might get seriously hurt by the blind knife.

Sigh-!

Because I don’t know whose body the sound of piercing through the flesh came from.

Could it be Misha?

Could it be Ainar?

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Maybe Raven is Mister Bear.

Negative thoughts keep popping up in my head.

But what do you mean?

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”

If you stop here, the situation will only get worse.

Embracing the fear that I couldn’t let go of, I focus everything on the one role assigned to me.

“Wow, what power!”

just paving the way.

Leaving behind your colleagues and moving forward with dignity.

It’s something I have to do right now, and it’s something I can’t do without myself.

[The good news is that we’re almost there. You can jump into the dark zone in 20 minutes.]

Time passes like eternity.

In a cave where sweat, blood, and screams coexist.

‘About three minutes have passed.’

It felt like an hour had passed, but in reality it would have been only that much. Now you can tell where the first floor is just by looking at the wall.

‘Nimiral.’

It’s like being trapped in a cave where the concept of time is warped.

I checked my location in real time and inferred how much time had passed.

4 minutes. 5 minutes. 6 minutes.

and… … .

‘Seven minutes.’

The first death occurred.

“Cayen!! Cayenne is hurt!! help me Let’s go, we have to support each other… … !”

“Let it go, Lena.”

“yes? However… … !”

“The guy… already dead.”

“… … .”

“I’m leaving him here.”

Cayenne was an archer on Takelan’s team.

That’s all I know, but it was a pretty good impression when I gave my full name.

‘Eight minutes.’

The road was blocked by a barrier summoned by someone.

Immediately, I took the fork next to me and corrected the route.

An improvisation that would not have been possible without Rotmiller’s training as a guide.

‘It will take three more minutes to arrive.’

The bad news didn’t end there.

‘Nine minutes.’

Another died.

This time, he was a member of the squeaky chin team that followed us from the back.

And one more thing.

“Bjorn, Misha is hurt!!”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha was injured.

“Where and to what extent?”

“Other, under the left chest! No internal damage—”

“I eat potions while running. Ainar, you can even carry Misha!”

Fortunately, life is not affected, but Ainar, who helped fight with one hand even while carrying a Raven, now serves only as a carrier.

’10 minutes.’

The news came from behind every once in a while.

“Mr. Yandel! Those people are gone!!”

The team that was in charge of the last room fled.

Seeing him die in front of me, I thought this was not going to work… … .

It was my mistake.

‘It must be a bastard without a head like this.’

I didn’t even think that it would be so much that I thought it was possible to escape on my own from an enemy on all sides.

Fuck, if you’re going to kill yourself, you’ll die for us.

Anyway, these bastards are gone, and the burden on the Takelan team is much greater.

Is that so?

’13 minutes.’

Two people died this time.

He was a wizard belonging to the Takelan team and a warrior carrying him.

“Shit! Only because of the goblin… … !”

The primary cause of death was a regenerated goblin.

In the midst of confusion, a goblin flew into his face and obscured his vision, and at that moment, he was hit by a skill shot by an ice magician and turned into a statue of ice.

’15 minutes.’

A warlock protruding from the side road exploded a wide-area magic.

There were no deaths… … .

“sister!!”

Daria, who flew to protect Erwen in the center, became incapable of combat.

Fortunately, he did not die instantly.

However.

“Don’t freeze, move. I will take care of your sister!”

Abman carried Daria, and his power decreased by one more.

’17 minutes.’

Abuse of [Leap] in place to boost stats.

And due to [Giantization] that was never released, MP ran out.

“The character’s soul power is insufficient.”

「[Giantization] will end.」

The seat next to the empty space was blocked by Cheol-woong, the tank summoner of Uncle Bear.

’18 minutes.’

Cheol-woong was reverse summoned.

However, Misha, who ate the potion, regained consciousness and returned to the battlefield.

’19 minutes.’

I see hope.

Now we just have to go a little further.

Although nearly half of them died, there were no deaths among those who decided to save them.

’20 minutes.’

A high-ranking explorer, who is estimated to be at least level 4, blocked my way.

class is inspected.

He was holding as a weapon a great sword made of adamantium, a level 5 metal… … .

“You must have a taste for cutting.”

auror was used.
