Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 273

273 Fire Defense (3)

Hans Aulock.

The person who will be remembered by me as Hans J in the future.

“Hey, Hans… … ?!”

“It’s Hans… … ?”

The moment he said his name, Raven and Ainar, who were next to them, flinched and fixed their gazes in this direction.

both will know

What does Hans mean to me?

“… … Well, is there something wrong?”

Sudden attention focused on Hans J.

I squeezed my thighs with strength.

‘Not now. Let’s be patient.’

I want to smash my head right now and turn it into a nameless corpse.

Such desires dominate my head.

However… … .

Aww-

There is still no evidence that he is a traitor.

All I have is heartache.

If I had to talk about the ominousness of Hans’s name, neither Patsran nor Ersina would be convinced.

First of all, I think of you as a colleague.

therefore… … .

“No, no problem.”

No action is taken right now.

Even if he is a traitor, if he has an idea, he will just shut his mouth, stay still, and then return to the city.

Judging that watching comes first.

“yes? It didn’t seem like that… … .”

“Are you saying there is no problem?”

“Hmm, then… … .”

Hans J rubbed his chin with an uneasy expression.

I feel sorry for being bullied for some reason, but… … .

“So I’ll keep my hands here so uncomfortably—”

But still, the handshake crossed the line.

“Ah, Patsran! Have you finished talking?”

He took his eyes off Hans J and turned the topic around.

Judging by the looks, the two of them seemed to have ended their conversation just in time.

“Roughly. From what I’ve heard, it seems that Drows really came from there… … . I always thought there was something a little weird about it.”

“Right.”

“So what about interest?”

“First, take them with you.”

“I see.”

Surprisingly, Patsran did not disagree with Nevarce’s treatment.

I would have almost died because of these guys.

Don’t you think it’s my loot and don’t cross the line?

“Anyway, would you all like to gather?”

Anyway, after the rough sea voyage was over, Raven gathered everyone.

And he arranged the situation with me.

“The sea road is blocked by waves, so it is impossible to escape from the island. For some reason, monsters keep appearing.”

“That monster, it seems to be getting stronger. Not long ago, even the Siren Queen appeared.”

“yes. I don’t know what’s happening on this island today, but I think I’m caught up in something unusual. So, by the way, does Patsran know anything about this phenomenon?”

Patsran paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“… … It sounds like you’re guessing to some extent, so I’ll be honest. That is why we visited the island.”

Even if the other team members don’t know, at least he’d heard some things from his leader, Drows?

“I don’t know the details either… … . I heard you just have to hold out until the sun comes up in two days.”

“Fortunately, this situation doesn’t seem to go on forever.”

After that, Raven offered two options.

“The first thing is to find a place that is easy to defend and hold on until two days later.”

“second is?”

“It’s about roaming the island looking for friends. Our team hasn’t found Misha, and Patsran’s team hasn’t found the archer yet, have they? If both of you are left alone, it will become more dangerous as time goes on.”

I laughed out loud at Raven’s words.

If that’s the case, then why did you say you have two options?

“Now, what are you going to do?”

“Obviously, I’m going to look for a colleague.”

I answered without a single thought, and Patsran was no different.

“I also escaped safely, but if it was Helga, of course, I would have escaped well. I have to go to the rescue.”

First, let’s search the island and find allies first.

It was around the time when the future course of action was almost decided.

Hans J rolled his eyes and joined the conversation.

“vote! How about deciding by voting?”

It was hard to believe at all.

No matter what your name is Hans.

Are you saying this in this atmosphere?

“Hmm, maybe there are people who don’t want to but can’t talk.”

“If so. don’t vote He who thinks he must go to find his mate, raise his hand.”

Without wasting time, the voting proceeded immediately, and when everyone raised their hands, Hans J also noticed and raised his hand at the end.

“Okay then.”

Bavarian democracy is invincible.

***

thump, thump.

I am walking a little faster and opening the road.

Eight people are following them.

All of our clan except for Misha.

Provisional alliances were made between Patsran, Ersina, and Hans J.

Until the strategic prisoner Nevarce Greenhop.

‘For now, up to eight people have gathered.’

Assuming that Misshana Partzan’s female archer also joins, it seems like it could be cleared.

The presence of the priest was great.

If it wasn’t for the priest, it would have been really hard.

“Miss Misha! If you hear it, please reply! Missha!”

“Hey!”

After leaving the shore, he focused on finding a companion somewhere on the island.

It wasn’t easy.

The island itself is not that wide, but… … .

Kwajik, Kwajik-!

aa-!

Now, wherever he went, he could not speed up because of the dozens of monsters that appeared.

Right now, it’s almost stopped and just fighting.

“Exp +5 for killing the Sea Giant.”

“Exp +5 for defeating Naga Archers.”

“I killed the serpent of Palpus… … .”

“… … .”

This is a change from 30 minutes ago.

The grades of the monsters that appear have risen sharply.

Even with a party of 8 people, it was difficult to break through the front easily.

“… … .”

“… … .”

In fact, the atmosphere was even darker than before.

No one spoke first, but… … .

It’s not clear why I’m so depressed.

“Because there are so many monsters… … .”

It must be said that there is no way for a comrade who has fallen out of the group to be okay. Even if Misha and the female archer were lucky enough to meet and join forces, the two alone could not withstand this kind of monster wave.

But so what?

“Behel—la ah ah ah!”

I don’t care about bad conditions, and I pierce my way with more strength. He had to swing his mace several times to take only a few steps.

Because that’s not a reason to stand still.

I haven’t checked anything yet.

So… … .

Kwajik, Kwajik, Kwajik-!

keep going

Pugh-!

bursting blood.

“… … .”

The harsh breathing sounds of colleagues struggling with power.

Sigh-! pooh.

A shrill sound that cuts through a monster’s skin and pierces its internal organs. In the midst of such a noise, someone’s murmur was heard.

“… … Hey, isn’t it time to stop?”

It was the voice of Hans J.

“Why is no one talking? I don’t want to be a bad person is this? But everyone, everyone knows!”

Without realizing it, I stopped walking.

Even in the midst of this, the monsters were running at me with saliva dripping in front of me… … .

“Do you know?”

I turned my back and headed towards him.

“Say it right. Before misunderstanding.”

“Think logically! Don’t you know it’s already too late?”

Yeah, you’re a smart wizard, right?

it was fine though

In fact, since we met, I wanted to cut off the hair. You said this nonsense in front of a barbarian, so it will be justified.

therefore… … .

“Uh-huh!”

I grabbed the guy’s hair.

“Hey, Mr. Yandel!”

Raven, who was next to me, screamed at my actions.

Also, Partsran, who was fighting with me in the vanguard, left the monster behind and ran to me.

“What are you doing!”

Perhaps it was because I touched a colleague, Patsran no longer used honorifics for me.

Also in that look.

“If you go further, I will kill you.”

Ainard also entered the battle stance and intercepted Patsran.

Erwen was the same.

Shrek.

There was no word, and he still shot arrows at the monster. But all of a sudden, Erwen was located behind the priest.

If there was a battle, he would kill the priest first.

“Everyone, stop it!”

Raven was in a state of panic and shouted.

“Yandel, calm down.”

Uncle Bear pushed me back with a large crossbow and stopped me. It happened only 3 seconds after I grabbed the wizard’s hair.

‘Nimiral.’

What am I doing now?

This is not like me.

dump.

He loosened his grip on the branch and threw Hans J on the floor. Due to my sudden action, the front line has already collapsed and monsters have begun to flock.

“sorry. I was excited for a while.”

“… … We’ll talk about this again later.”

When I returned to the front line again, Patsran stood beside me without saying a word and faced the monsters.

“Whew… … .”

The atmosphere in which I felt like I was going to wake up at any moment was over.

However, it was different and could not be the same as before.

“… … .”

“… … .”

We fight together, but we are wary of each other.

As a result, the pace of progress was even slower.

Well, Hans’s snout was still quiet.

‘Misha… … .’

Bad news for me as I need to find Misha as soon as possible.

‘Shit.’

It was a time when I was searching the island at such a slow speed as an ant crawling.

“Ah, uncle! It’s a corpse!”

We encountered the corpse of the one we were looking for.

***

The moment I saw the body, my heart sank.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My eyes became distant, and my head was dyed black. But sooner or later, that feeling turned into a sense of relief.

Probably because it wasn’t Misha.

“Hey… … !”

A woman in the position of an archer who belonged to the team called Parts.

Patsran, who was opening the road together, ran towards the woman who had collapsed in a miserable state.

and… … .

“Shit!”

Checking his breathing, he struck the ground with his fist.

At that moment, a white wave spread from the center of the formation.

「Lairin Ershina has cast [Declaration of Destruction].」

One of the priest’s core skills is [Declaration of Destruction].

It can be viewed as a kind of barrier.

A barrier that cannot be stopped by humans, but cannot be invaded by monsters as long as it is maintained.

[Kye hey hey!]

Simply put, it’s safe for the time being.

So I lowered my shield and approached the corpse.

It wasn’t the female archer’s body.

Well, there was one more body.

“Who is Iza?”

Afterwards, when I asked Nevarce, who was embarrassed, he came back and answered that he was a colleague.

Thanks, I also got a headache.

‘how… … What happened?’

It is understandable that the female archer died.

But I don’t understand why this guy’s body is right next to it.

“Raven, what’s the cause?”

“There are so many bite marks that it’s hard to be sure. However… … . No matter how you look at it, it is presumed that the cut in the abdomen must have been fatal.”

Yes, I mean that too.

“It’s the marks of being stabbed by a sword… … .”

Heyna is an archer position.

But stabbed him to death?

This also doesn’t make sense.

“How about that girl? Do you know exactly what killed him?”

“I don’t know. It’s worse over there… … .”

“But what if I tell you first?”

“… … First of all, there is a torn wound on the huge toenail. But this is also a bit weird. I’ve never seen a monster that could leave a mark like this. It’s like a large monster has been torn apart… … .”

“Which monster can you guess?”

“The common thing is that they have three toenails and a deep wound at the tip. This is the pattern that usually comes out when you are attacked by bird-type monsters like Wyverns.”

“Right.”

The situation is even more troubling.

“I mean, there’s no way it’s going to be a monster.”

“yes… … Probably so.”

Raven nodded as if in agreement.

That’s right, the body was in a situation where all the equipment had been stripped.

“Partsran, does that woman have any space left?”

“No, no. Someone took it.”

Now there are two cases.

Or there were more explorers on this island we didn’t know about.

Otherwise… … .

‘There was an infighting on the side of Noark.’

damn-!

I slapped Nevarche’s slap as if he had gone mental.

“Calm down. I have something to ask you.”

“… … .”

“Can anyone guess who this is?”

“Carmilla and Belverson. Two kites would do it.”

“A little more detail.”

Afterwards, Nevarce told me that a man named Belverson wielded a sword, and a woman named Carmilla wielded a drake summon.

“But then why did they harm your co-workers?”

“I, I don’t know either. Maybe the treasure was coveted. Maybe even Rainwales-sama to them… … .”

No, I can’t afford to take care of your mentality.

“Tell me about the treasure.”

I grabbed his hair and fixed his head, then listened again to the part I skipped over.

It wasn’t really fast.

“I don’t know anything other than that it has been passed down for a long time from the family of the castle lord of Noark. Ahh! There is also a legend that those who win can change history!”

change history?

Is it something that has that kind of power?

Since it’s a legend, I think I’ll have to filter half of it.

‘Anyway, I’m sure it’s something that needs to be retrieved by sending a woman like Amelia back.’

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Motivation seems sufficient.

Isn’t Noark also in the midst of leaving the outside world?

It wouldn’t be a bad option to wash your identity in a big bang and live in the city.

“Aulok-sama, I’ll take care of Heina-sama.”

“Ah, leave it to me… … .”

Soon after, Hans J cast preservation magic on the female archer’s body. And by putting them in the subspace, the body recovery is over.

“… … Yandel, so what are we going to do now?”

Like an explorer, Patsran poured out her emotions within a short time and asked me about my future plans.

But I couldn’t say anything.

“Are you going to keep looking for your colleagues?”

I know it shouldn’t be like that, but should I say it doesn’t come out at all?

“There is still room to spare, but it will only get worse.”

Of course, you know it in your head.

Excessive movement consumes stamina.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Meanwhile, the kitties Carmilla and Belverson must also be vigilant.

At this point, finding defense points and saving stamina is 100% right.

However… … .

‘Then Misha, what should she do… … .’

You will no longer be able to make rational decisions.

‘Maybe because of this… … .’

I suddenly had a thought.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Maybe Misha knew this and pushed me out that day.

If only our relationship had deepened that day.

I wouldn’t have even thought of this already. It must have been that he was still running wild, swept away by his emotions.

Just like when you rushed ahead.

“Mr. Yandel… … .”

I took a deep breath and exhaled.

And I looked around slowly.

Raven, Erwen, Ainar, Mister Bear.

Other than Missha, my precious colleagues looked at me with worried eyes.

Now it is your turn to make a decision as a leader.

“Put down your weapons, everyone. I will rest until the barrier is maintained.”

It felt like my stomach was rotting.
