Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

68 episodes Barbarian Hero (1)

[Crevice of Evil]

This is a type of instant death that comes out when Liakis absorbs 10 or more marbles.

If you don’t get out within the time limit, you will die no matter how hard you develop your character.

In-game time was about 45 minutes.

And here’s one feature… … .

They must have all been dragged to the center regardless of their location.

Whoo-!

Without even having to adjust to the darkness in front of her, a feeling of being pulled all over her body.

“Rain, yo, ren… … !! This, crab, uh, how, what—!”

For some reason, Misha’s voice is heard at 0.5x speed.

So I spoke at 2x speed.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to die right away.”

“That, crab, mu, sen, mean—!”

Misha shouted slowly, but the shout was not completed until the end.

Perfect silence, as if hearing had disappeared.

Of course, that time itself didn’t last long.

“All characters within the radius will move to the center of evil.”

When I opened my eyes, there was light there.

“Bjorn!”

The sound was also heard normally, and many people besides Misha were seen everywhere.

“What the hell… … ?”

“What, what! I must have been running away… … .”

200 of them are a decent number of explorers.

With an anxious face, I checked one place behind Misha, who was clinging to me.

Those bearing the Dzarwi clan’s emblem were quickly gathering among themselves and forming a formation.

‘Is there already this much left from 50 people… … .’

A little over 20 people.

There were 11 deaths during the three hours of confrontation with Riakis, but more power was lost in less than five minutes.

What the hell happened in that brief moment?

Well, it wasn’t hard to guess.

“Look! If you knew what the situation was right now—”

“Shut up, you scum.”

A voice of anger erupts at an explorer’s question.

“Because of scum like you… Do you know how many people died?”

“If you come any closer, I will attack you immediately.”

In fact, the Dzarwi clan had been united among themselves and were vigilant to prevent anyone from approaching.

Even the explorers were perplexed.

“Hey, why is that for us!”

“If you hadn’t taken our equipment in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“I heard that large clans swear to the guild and the royal family to fulfill their duty in case of an emergency. We’ll cover it up later, but for now, let’s all gather our strength together… … .”

“Hey, let me in! I didn’t even participate in the first place. If you ask me to pay more for protection, I’ll pay… … .”

The explorers who did not even know what kind of situation they were in right now shouted out.

Well, you probably know it too.

If you are abandoned by them, you have no chance of living.

But what about this?

“Be thankful that you don’t kill right now. Garbage.”

The will of the Dzarwi clan was stubborn.

“Hey, where is that selfish word! That is not to say that we should all go out and die!”

“I got it right.”

“… what, what? Let’s see, let’s see, interest! Do you think we’ll keep quiet?”

A man who caused agitation at the forefront.

A lot of explorers have sympathized with Jack Flitzer’s cry, but the clan just laughed as if it wasn’t the same.

“What if I don’t stay still?”

“Yeah, let’s work together to get you—”

“As I said before, don’t expect to be swung like before. It’s garbage like you guys, because if you like, you can burn them all in this place.”

It wasn’t like hypocrisy.

Even so, the situation is different from before.

Unlike the time when they were widely spread out to deal with Riakis, they are holding a proper dense formation.

It looks like he’s ready to cast magic at any time.

“Shit!”

“I think we would die without you!”

It was then that the explorers realized their reality.

“I, I am aware of this phenomenon.”

A human man who appeared to be about 160 tall opened his mouth in front of the crowd.

“Are you aware of this phenomenon?”

“Well, I don’t know the details. But if we don’t get out of here in time, we’ll all die. It was written that way in an ancient book.”

“… Is that for real?”

When Jack Fletcher gave him a suspicious look, a woman stepped forward in place of the man who looked like an old man.

“I guarantee that!”

“fairy?”

“I’ve been teaming up with this guy for over a year. And I’ve been through a lot of incredible things. This is a mysterious person. You really don’t know anything. I have no doubt that his words will save us.”

Jack Fletcher changed his complexion.

“As for the fairy… Well worth a listen. Look, how do we get out of this place?”

“Bah, there is no way! I heard that you can escape from this place if you keep going for about 5km in either direction… … .”

Surprisingly, what that human man said is true.

The problem is that the moment you leave this place where there is light, Liakis’ clones will come from the darkness.

“Mom, I heard there are monsters, but if we all work together, it’s sure to happen, we can do it!”

“Hmm, there is definitely a point.”

Jill.

If it had been that easy, the clan kids over there would have jumped first. It’s not about having a serious conversation with each other with a shitty face.

“Bjorn, what are you going to do?”

“What?”

“But when you see elves giving such guarantees to humans, it doesn’t mean they are humans if they really have something.”

Well, is it?

In my eyes, it just looks like an asshole… … .

“Don’t be swayed by that and wait calmly.”

“I see!”

After all, things developed quickly.

“I have the fairy’s guarantee, but there’s a good chance that the man was wrong. However! If I can’t wait to die like this, I want to walk here!”

When Jack Fletcher, who had made a decision soon, started agitating again, the public opinion slowly moved.

“Yeah, die here and die that way!”

“I don’t think they’re going to help us anyway, do you have any other options?”

“There are so many people, it will be okay!”

“But, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it will be that easy… … .”

There were many people who were skeptical, but once people started gathering, the thought that they might be left behind accelerated.

And now.

“I will ask you one last time! If anyone wants to join us, come out now!”

More than 100 explorers came together.

As for the remaining people, there are around 40 including me and Misha.

Jack Fletcher, who was looking all over us, spotted me and started talking to me.

“Look, was it Viagron, the son of the Yandere?”

“… Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

“Hmm, was it? After all, are you not going to join us?”

What bothers me again, don’t you know that just by being here?

I responded by shrugging my shoulders.

By the way… … .

“You’re stupid for not being a barbarian, you’ll regret it.”

fuck? What else is this?

All you have to do is go your own way, why are you trembling with this shit at the end?

It’s a mentality I can’t understand at all, but it’s my belief that it’s my belief to give back what I’ve received, so they gave me compliments as well.

“What do you mean? baby soon to be born. Don’t gossip and get out of here quickly. That would be more helpful to the world.”

“What, what?”

“Do you want to fight with me? Then come here I will break that empty head.”

Hundreds of explorers behind him and whatever he turned his head as I walked forward with a mace.

And muttering to himself, he left.

“I’m sorry, I told you because I thought about it… … .”

“It seems that there is no one else to be with, so let’s go! I can’t afford to waste my time on this!”

It’s happening anyway.

More than half of the people disappeared into the darkness.

No, is it true that I crawled into my limbs in this case?

Anyway, as if waiting for them to leave, Misha leaned close to me and whispered.

“Bjorn, what are we going to do?”

“Why do you always ask me that?”

“Yeah… Until now, your words have not always been correct. I believe in you.”

“Right.”

Thanks for the words, but Misha was wrong.

Novel from https://readwn.com

My choice is not correct.

How can a mere human know that?

I just picked the one that seemed the most probable at the moment when the problem occurred.

And in that sense… … .

Tub-

He moved towards the Dzarwi clan, which was in the midst of a discussion.

‘At this point, you should have been aware of just how much you’ve been screwed over there… … .’

Now it’s your turn to gamble.

Gambling with the highest success rate, I judged based on various reasons.

“Stop it, Barbarian. Come closer—”

As I approached, the clan stopped me.

Coincidentally, the party to the cry was a spherical person with us.

“Oh, burning… … .”

“Half a penny… … ? why are you here… … .”

A sudden reunion.

It was clear that there would be no touching sibling reunion, so I smirked and pointed between the two of them.

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

“… what? Long time no see?”

Missha’s older brother frowns.

Seriously, we’re not meant to say goodbye like this.

So, while he was panicking, I immediately brought up the subject.

“So, did the Orc Hero Essence come out?”

“Well, fortunately, fortunately—”

Yeah, you were lucky.

“Wait, how do you know that?”

Seeing my brother staring at me with terrifying eyes, I smiled bitterly.

The gamble was successful.

At least halfway through.

***

The deputy leader of the Dzarwi clan.

Iraj McGrain thought.

‘It’s fucked up.’

A total of 27 deaths.

A number equivalent to 20% of the total power of the Dzarwi clan. I can’t even imagine how long it will take to restore it.

‘Well, there is no guarantee that we will return alive.’

He opened his eyes and looked at the faces of the members.

A total of 23 clan members are currently surviving.

If you look at the number of people, it can be said that about half of the troops survived, but in reality this is not the case.

he asked the lieutenant.

“What exactly is the current power?”

“Three priests, six wizards, and twelve long-distance supporters… Two melee warriors.’

The report continued with a dismal voice.

it should be

“There are only two melee warriors… … .”

The distribution of the number of people is insufficient even with the word deformity.

When the riot broke out, the unsupported warriors suffered close to annihilation.

“I am happy though. If it wasn’t for the deputy chief’s judgment, I wouldn’t have had time to reorganize like this—”

“That’s something you will only know after you die.”

McGrain calmed his breathing.

As soon as he judged that it was impossible to put an end to the riot, he issued an order. It was to leave Lyakis to absorb the Dark Sphere.

Thanks to that, he succeeded in reducing the damage to a minimum and earning time.

‘Yeah, time… It would be just about buying time.’

“Look, Sir McGrain! What do you think now? Haven’t you just given up on everything?”

“I’m thinking.”

“Then you should think about it quickly. If you’ve studied even a little bit of Chaos Lord Lyakis, you’ll know that we don’t have much time left.”

Seeing the wizard speaking with a sharp voice, McGrain sighed.

“Will the star in the twilight guide us… … .”

The priest who prayed while drawing the holy name was better, but if he hated them, it was clear that it would lead to bad results even if he returned alive at the best.

‘Think, how can I get back alive as many as possible.’

Novel from https://readwn.com

McGrain pondered and pondered.

What is the best thing you can do in the current situation?

“Vice-Captain, the explorers are trying to form a group. It seems like they are trying to get out of this place on their own.”

“It’s good news after a while. Leave me alone.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it supposed to serve as a bait?”

While deciding to use positive variables thoroughly.

I thought over and over again about what to do with the escape route, the allocation of personnel when moving, and the optimal formation.

There was no answer.

“As instructed, I made sure to know the formation when moving. Now I can move at any time.”

I did the best I could, but… … .

‘Assuming good luck, at least half of them will die.’

The absence of a warrior was so fatal.

At most, two people can’t even penetrate the road properly, and even those two are swordsmen and spearmen.

A professional defense warrior.

In other words, there is no explorer in the guardian position.

‘It’s crazy that they have to pave the way only with them in a critical situation more than ever.’

Only one.

Things would have been much more positive if there had been just one explorer in the proper Guardian position… … .

“Vice-Captain, the explorers have left.”

“Come on, make a decision!”

Seeing the clan members staring at him, McGrain closed his eyes tightly.

“It’s over 100 people. Unless they move when they get the slightest bit of attention—”

“Know.”

There is no time.

You have to make a decision quickly.

At last, McGrain was about to open his mouth, which he had been keeping his mouth shut.

“So you didn’t tell me!! I will open the way—!!”

A barbarian exclaimed.

It was as if he knew his troubles, which no one knew in this place.

Novel from https://readwn.com

McGrain asked the lieutenant like a possessed man.

“Hey, who is that friend who is doing that?”

“I heard a little bit, and it seems that Karlstein’s younger sister is a colleague. You don’t need to worry about—”

“That’s for me to decide, so you give me an answer.”

Soon the lieutenant answered.

“I don’t know how the author found out… … . We are asking for the essence of an orc hero.”

“The essence of an Orc Hero?”

“Yeah, he said he could pave the way with just that.”

After activating one of his abilities [Survival Instinct], McGrain looked at the Barbarian again.

and recited

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone shine so strongly.”

The power that saved him from countless crises was speaking.

I’d say it’s worth listening to.
