Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

97 Tues Barbarian Trophy (4)

When using [Feral Eruption], the threat level increases.

However, at this time, the threat level does not give a ‘Provocation’ judgment to non-monsters.

As Dwalkie said yesterday.

[Umm… Whoops, it was a very strange feeling. My head knows that nothing’s dangerous, but it’s like my body is telling me that I should just run away… … .]

The coward shrugs in fear.

On the contrary, a brave person shows a victorious spirit.

So what about this guy?

“Ha!”

The answer was the latter.

For a moment, he flinched at the shouts that I vomited out in front of him.

If I had a shield in my left hand as usual, it would have been enough to just bounce it off… … .

‘Now, there will be no difference.’

That’s it anyway

The body of a tank that has been put into orbit exists solely to block enemy attacks.

Shrek.

One hand removed from the ax moves in the trajectory of the sword being swung.

At the same time, a muffled sound follows.

Kagak-

There is little doubt in the eyes of the guy who thought he had won at that sound.

I must have been wondering

Sharp cutlery and bare arms.

When would you ever hear them make a sound like this when they touch?

“… … ?”

A focal point that moves with a light looking for an answer.

His gaze arrives at the destination.

“Do you not understand?”

At my question, he nodded blankly.

Why did his sword cut through the skin, but not the bones?

There are many reasons.

Bone strength, physical tolerance, a large and hard skeleton congenitally, and physical values raised by [Feral Eruption], etc.

Rather, it would be even more absurd if he cut off my wrist in one fell swoop.

However… … .

‘You don’t have to tell me every word.’

‘Cause I’m a barbarian

“you-“

One word is enough.

“weak.”

After spitting it out, it could not have been a line that was quite squeaky, but the effect was considerable.

As if he had received even the most humiliating insult, he pulled out a sword stuck in his arm.

It was not a good choice.

👀-!

Blood is splattered as the blade is pulled out.

Chewy profit-!

followed by a humming sound.

and… … .

“Ahhh!!!”

painful groan.

“A mean number… … .”

What the hell, I just stood still.

It was clear that there was something wrong with his head, so he reached out and grabbed his hair.

Hey, it hurts when you run away, right?

“Cuckoo!”

The blood to the brain is cut off and the thread begins to struggle.

It was as if the table had already been prepared.

It’s definitely a mess, but even if you twist it, you’ll quake and die.

However… … .

“Equipment has been removed.”

“The overall item level will drop by -495.”

Put down the weapon you were holding in your hand.

For a simple reason.

Kakakan!

A double-edged battle ax that the butler bought for today at a high price.

If you hit him in the head with this, you can’t even make an excuse that you didn’t intend to kill him, and… … .

‘I promised.’

I made a promise to the three knights.

When we meet later, I will surely get rid of the problem in my head.

so that… … .

wow.

With a fist the size of a watermelon,

Hit the temple with all your might.

Whoops-!!!

If you have a problem with your head.

“Behel—laa!!!!”

get rid of your hair

Yes, a barbarian would have thought so.

or not

***

silence.

Dim or no sound around you.

That state lasts for a while.

“… … .”

It was a very different sight.

A place where so many people gather.

Even at the time of the festival.

How many times can there be silence and stillness of hundreds without any tacit agreement?

“Chi, where is the priest?!”

The silence came to an end as a knight ran out carrying a piece of thread with his head half crushed.

So I also went to the referee.

“Doesn’t the winner have to tell me?”

The referee looked bewildered at my question and then shouted to the crowd.

“Sure, the winner is Bjorn Jandel by Baron Martohan!”

At first, I wondered if it was discriminated against as a barbarian.

But looking at the reaction of the crowd that followed, it seems that is not the case again.

“Wow!”

“Barbarian! Barbarians are the best!”

“I think this is the first time in my life to have such an exciting duel! It looks like it’s going to explode!”

“But, isn’t that knight dead?”

“You are so cruel. Touch me here. Can you feel your heart beating?”

“Uh, uh… … Nah, I can feel it… … .”

“Where one or two die during a duel? And that’s enough for the priest to treat you well.”

Rather, the reaction was hotter than the first duel.

“Behel—raa!!”

I came down from the stage with a shout out for service and went to the barracks.

This is not where the baron is waiting… … .

The barracks to which Silmogigi was transported for treatment.

“Yeah, hey bastard! Where is this!”

As soon as we entered the barracks, a shout of fire broke out.

One of the three remaining knights.

Without saying a word, I approached the priest under treatment.

“Is he dead?”

“… Your life will not be affected.”

Even as the priest answered, he looked at me with unfavorable eyes.

“Didn’t you put a little ejaculation in your hand?”

I was a little nauseous when a follower of God said that, but there were enough excuses.

“I didn’t know it was going to be like this.”

“… … ?”

“Isn’t that a knight! I put down the ax and just hit it with my fist! But how do I know I’m going to pass out in one shot?”

At my dignified answer, the three knights blushed in shame, and the priest opened his mouth as if it was absurd.

“faint… do you mean It was so bad that my brain drained, and I passed out—”

“If I lived, I wouldn’t faint!”

A choice of words that even Ainar, who taught me about the life of a barbarian, can go back and forth.

Soon the priest kept his mouth shut.

It was decided that the conversation was meaningless.

“… … .”

An awkward silence began to surround the barracks.

I wanted to just go out, but just in time, I came to my senses.

“Uh, uh… Where am I… … ?”

What are you talking about with blank eyes?

The divine power emitted by the high priest had already healed the smashed head, but it was not a universal cheat.

“I was definitely going up to the arena… … .”

The priest explained the situation to his murmur.

There was a major earthquake and there was a serious brain injury.

However, I was treated quickly, so the memory will come back in time.

“Yeah, that’s right. Thanks for your help—”

The guy who was thanking the priest for his kind briefing found me and was stunned.

“Yes, why are you here… … .”

A look closer to fear rather than embarrassment.

It was a little questionable.

He said he lost his memory during a duel, how could he react like this?

“Hmm, you really don’t remember anything?”

“Oh, I don’t. So, let me go.”

Well, I’m not in the mood to lie… … .

Still, I’ll have to check what I’m going to check once I’m there.

“If you do one thing, I will leave immediately.”

“… … ?”

“It doesn’t matter, just follow what I call you and say it once.”

I told him exactly what he had said to me before, and then I asked him to follow me.

“Hey, if you do that, then you go… … ?”

“Of course.”

As he nodded his head, he swallowed his saliva.

And I followed exactly what I said.

But… … .

“Hey, it was there in the first place, so it got its name because it was small… … . uh, uh… … .”

Suddenly, he trembled like an aspen, and grabbed his head.

“Ahh… … ! Gee, I remember… … !”

Recalling the past seems to have brought back memories that had been temporarily lost.

“Good. Go on.”

At my continued prompting, the thread hardened like a stone statue, and the game started.

“Hey, stop… My, I was all wrong. So please… … .”

are you apologizing?

An attitude that he could not have imagined if he had been in the past.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, the problem in my head seems to be gone.”

“Yes. So please just leave. Patients need rest.”

“I do.”

At the priest’s words, I left the barracks without any regrets.

“Hey, I’m leaving here. Uh, let’s run away… … !”

A faint commotion could be heard from beyond the barracks.

As soon as I listened to it, I felt it.

I am neither a doctor nor a priest with divine powers.

Just one barbarian living in this barbaric world.

But, so what?

‘After all, the barbarians are scammers.’

right today.

I solved a problem that even the priest couldn’t fix.

***

“You did a good job. I really didn’t expect it to end so quickly, but… … . But where have you been?”

When I returned to the waiting barracks, the baron greeted me.

When I told him that I had seen it once because I was curious about his condition, he laughed.

“I mean, you are very special. How can you attack without mercy while caring about such a thing?”

I’m sorry, that’s a bit harsh.

“If it was a labyrinth, I would have struck it with an axe.”

“Well, it was, but… … .”

“To be honest, I didn’t expect to be this weak. My body is slow, so I thought I would be strong.”

The answer I prepared in advance in case it becomes a problem.

For some reason, the baron burst into laughter.

“Okay, what’s wrong with you? It’s because they didn’t practice properly.”

“But is it okay to keep doing this? They’re apprentice knights, but aren’t they aristocrats?”

“Huh, are you really worried about the future? If so, don’t even worry about it. Wasn’t that in the midst of a battle?”

“But aren’t knights the property of the family? What if the title noble to whom they swore their allegiance harms me?”

“Uh-huh, don’t you worry? In the first place, why would an apprentice rather than an official knight go to such a game? Even if I die, it won’t be a big problem.”

The baron then assured him that no one would blush with him over such a trivial matter, and that he would prevent such a thing from happening.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

“So you just focus on winning. From what I saw earlier, people have responded well, but the more you go wild, the more the Count, who hosted the banquet, will be satisfied.”

Well, that’s it.

I think we can all break the head without any worries.

From what I saw earlier, the priest’s abilities weren’t a joke either.

“The winner is Sir Tillian, the author of Henslevania!”

After that, he watched the duel with the baron and waited for his turn. It was pretty fun at first, but soon I lost interest.

Do I have to say that the fighting style is the same?

I think I can see why people were so enthusiastic when it was my turn.

‘Even if it’s a collateral, is this because it’s a noble? No showmanship.’

I was a little tired, so I asked the baron for forgiveness and closed my eyes for a while in the corner.

How long has it been since then?

The butler woke me up very carefully.

“… Hey, hey, you, someone is looking for you.”

“Who are you looking for?”

It was a little sudden, but the butler finished talking before asking anything and disappeared.

So, I went out and checked it out.

But what else is this?

‘The three knights?’

Courtesy Two of the trio are standing.

Also, without even saying what the business was, a man reached out to grab me by the collar.

I don’t know the name.

Little clown was the guy who slandered me.

“This girl—!”

As he slowly retreated and avoided his hand, the little clown stiffened as if he was indifferent and continued.

“Big, huh. this guy! What the hell have you done to Sir Sylvania!”

“Sir Sylvania?”

Picking his ears and tilting his head, he became furious.

“You don’t even know the name of the person you fought against!”

It was her name too.

So, the name is… … .

“line… Mary… … .”

“Sir Sylvania!!”

“Yeah, did he have a problem?”

The stranger started to vibrate at my question.

“You say that… … ! It means that whenever you talk about it, you lose your temper and make a fuss!”

“How can you be so vicious? No matter how much resentment you have, how can you make a person reach that level… … . Do you have no mercy and no honor?”

Mercy and honor?

I’m not talking about the bastard who said he’d cut my throat in 10 seconds.

I made a final diagnosis.

“… It must be this serious.”

A quick problem-solving is required.

***

“Hey, what are you doing here?”

The fuss ended when Baron Martoan poked his head over the barracks.

Perhaps there was something stabbing him, and as soon as he saw his face, he left the seat.

“… What were they?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Yeah, anyways, come here and I have a good idea, but I’m curious if it’s actually possible.”

After that, we went back to the barracks and had a silly conversation with the baron to kill time, and the first round was over.

And the quarterfinals tournament has come to an end.

But is this the ‘hero’s fate’ that the shaman was talking about?

“Sir Quartéan by Baron Serpia and Bjorn Jandel by Baron Martoan, stand up!”

Surprisingly, in the second round, I faced one of the three knights.

It was a gnome with bluff properties.

“Don’t expect it to be the same as before.”

Even when the duel has started, he is fluttering his mouth and saying something.

“As my mouth says, Sir Sylvania is the weakest of us—”

It was actually easier than the first time.

Take a break from muttering and dash forward.

and… … .

“Uh, uh… … ?”

Whether he swings his sword or not, he stretches out his hand and grabs the brisket.

Serious punch to the temple as it is.

Whoops-!

Soon, the flesh and bones of his head were crushed and he fell to the floor helplessly. It happened only 3 seconds after the duel started.

but… … .

“Wow!”

“Please crush me like that next time!!”

“Knight crusher! It’s a knight crusher!!”

Even though the duel ended in an instant, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

It was ironic indeed.

‘I love seeing people’s heads smashed so much.’

That’s why you don’t know who the savage is.
