Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 145



Episode 145: Great Legacy (2)

Karui the ancient evil god.

Unlike the three remaining gods in the world he is a being who demands infinite compensation from his subordinates.

He doesn’t give everything out of mercy.

He just makes your earnest wish come true.

He has no distinction between good and evil.

As long as the reward is enough.

No more no less just that much.

[I allow it.]

The moment when I finally heard the answer I had been waiting for.

The arm of the magic beast that appeared tearing through space tore off Ludwig’s arm and took it away.

However when he came to his senses he was standing there just staring.

It was truly a devil-like power and authority.

Especially since there is always a price to pay.

“My three… everything!”

Even at the moment he made his decision the cruel battle was approaching its end.

Ludwig quickly stretched out his hand.

and….

[I will take it.]

That was enough.

There was no need to explain to the evil spirit what he wanted in return.

“Ne guy! “Is this a moose order!!”

The body of the dragon slayer who was stabbing the barbarian warrior with his sword received strong resistance and was thrown back.

But at a price.

Jijijik-!

Both of his ears were torn off.

A permanent injury that cannot be healed by any divine power or potion offered as a sacrifice to an evil god.

A pain that cannot be compared to a fire blooms.

But Ludwig thought of only one thing.

Yes the authors were fighting despite such pain.

“Ngeunni. Treat me.”

The dragon slayer emits a black eye and gives an order.

As a result his body moved as if possessed regardless of his will.

It was because of one of the special abilities he possessed apart from his grandson whose soul was also captured by the bastard.

As long as he is bound by that cursed supernatural ability he cannot reject his words.

but….

[I will count to ten.]

The claws of the gigantic beast rip off even the remaining arm and at the same time the body that was moving against its will stops.

But it’s still not enough.

There’s still a lot to hope for

There is also much left to offer.

Legs Eyes Heart Lungs.

Anything is good.

I will sacrifice everything of my miserable body.

If only I could help young heroes move forward with their twilight body.

I will even give up his wish to end his tiring life and rest in His arms.

so….

“Give me the strength to kill him.”

Ludwig spoke and the evil spirit answered.

[Not possible.]

Impossibility not refusal.

It meant that no matter how much he valued ‘arbitrary’ sacrifice as the greatest value this was not enough of a reward.

However Ludwig shook off all his lingering regrets.

It was different from the resignation he carried with him every day.

Wasn’t it just before that he decided to give up his unachievable hopes and do what he could?

The freedom that the evil spirit allowed him was only 10 seconds.

He has no time to waste on despair.

“Then let me protect them.”

Ludwig spoke again and the evil god laughed.

and….

[I allow it.]

The magic beast’s arms stretched out from the darkness tearing his body apart and devouring it.

He felt a moment of relief that he had escaped a momentary crisis.

Doubts arise.

How did Karui’s priest travel 4 hours to arrive here and why did he do something harmful to the dragon slayer?

Do you have any other plans?

“Nguy! “Is this a moose order!!”

Looking at the dragon slayer’s expression it doesn’t seem like that is the case. To put it simply it means that this was a completely unexpected situation.

However it was difficult to view it as a positive variable.

“Ngeunni. Treat me.”

A black glow shines from the eyes of the man who slumped backwards losing sight of his sword.

It was obvious what it was without even looking at it.

[Gwonsokhwa].

This is the level 3 essence ability it possesses.

If used on the dead it absorbs souls to increase stats. There are some conditions for use but if used on the living it is a fraud skill that can treat the target like a slave.

Trudging.

Soon the priest takes steps as if possessed.

However the moment when everything seemed to be over.

Suddenly.

The priest’s remaining arm is torn off.

As if offering a sacrifice to an evil spirit hidden in the dark.

Trudging.

The priest who was moving forward as if possessed stops.

To say that his appearance was terrible would be an understatement.

It looked as if his two ears and both arms had been bitten off by an animal.

However with that image the priest speaks.

“Give me the strength to kill him.”

Only then did I accurately perceive the situation.

Who is this unknown priest talking to?

And what kind of deal was made.

If all my predictions are correct there is a way to survive—

[Not possible.]

The answer to the priest’s request was no.

A voice that echoes throughout the passage as if speaking to everyone present here. At this joy and sorrow intersect and a brief flash of mystery appears in the eyes of the dragon slayer.

It was that moment.

“Then let me protect them.”

The man’s request was followed up without the slightest hesitation.

At this laughter was heard from somewhere.

and….

[I allow it.]

The priest fell to the floor.

It was natural.

Because the two legs that supported his body were torn off.

However evil spirits are contradictory beings that give both hope and despair.

Huuuuung-!

In return a portal opened.

A portal appears in the center of the passage scattering black light and swirling around.

The color of the light was different but it was a portal.

The highest level of magic that can open the door from the labyrinth to the city.

Hehehe!

Soon a portal emanating enormous magical power appeared beyond it.

It was not the gray city of Lafdonia that I was familiar with.

The dark and gloomy appearance of the underground fortress.

“Nughni! “What are you going to do? Let’s do it!”

The dragon slayer’s body is slowly pushed away as if pushed by an invisible gust of wind.

Head towards where the portal is.

“No matter what your son says—”

“It should have been done a long time ago.”

The dragon slayer was angry and shouted something but the priest only responded stubbornly.

“Ssivaaaaa!!!”

He seemed to have slowly accepted that there was no way to stop the priest’s decision and he looked at me with anger then moved his gaze and stared at one place.

And he stretched out his hand.

Slurp.

Then the Arkje longsword that was left without an owner scratched the ground. A silver long sword moving towards the guy as if drawn by magnetism.

It was very obvious what I was going to do.

Even if I go I will take this with me.

‘Damn you damn sword lover.’

I throw my body forward forcing my strength into my wobbly legs.

Not a conscienceless dragon slayer.

Cooung.

His head was dizzy from the impact of his tattered body falling to the floor but he stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword.

Pachichit-!

A sword that emits heat as soon as it is touched as if it has the owner’s engraving on it.

Thanks to my pain tolerance the pain was bearable.

However the sensation of my hands becoming numb can be clearly felt in real time.

Even if I hold it like this for a few more minutes I feel like I might never be able to use my arm again.

‘…Did this guy continue to use the sword like this?’

I immediately erased any unnecessary questions that crossed my mind.

Because that’s not what you need to think about now.

“Ino!!”

Hold on.

Even if you put your weight on the ground and sink your teeth into the floor.

So that the blade that will one day be pointed at me does not fall into that bastard’s hands again.

So as not to harm my comrades.

Kakakak!

In an instant the pulling force suddenly became stronger.

The body began to slip as if it had lost friction. At this speed it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire sword and the sword were sucked into the portal.

Should I let go of Nimirl now?

It was just as those concerns were slowly starting to dawn on me.

“Kuh keuh!”

The guy vomited blood and his sense of resistance disappeared.

Yes you can’t go any further than this.

“Bavaria….”

Soon he called me and muttered briefly.

“I’ll meet you again.”

That we will meet again.

He spoke a line that a third-rate villain running away would say in a hushed tone that would have embarrassed even Misha.

There wasn’t even a word about what to do after that.

but….

Exciting-!

My heart vibrates at that single word.

“….”

The skewer stuck in his shoulder.

A half-crushed chin.

Living to the point where my skin feels numb.

The guy’s right arm which has turned from red to black and is emitting steam is telling.

If that day comes there will be no luck like today.

It is conveyed to me more clearly than hundreds of curse words.

But so what?

Wow.

A member of Orculis?

A 9th floor explorer with the nickname Dragon Slayer?

Next time there will be no such thing as a ‘Guardian of Balance’?

That’s all I know.

Yeah I guess I can’t beat him now.

If he tries to do something he will have to struggle desperately like he did today.

but….

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

You will survive.

Because that’s what I do best.

Because that’s what I’ve been doing so far.

Because this is something we must continue to do in the future.

I will survive tenaciously and become stronger.

So one day there will be no need for flukes.

“We will meet again Yongin.”

I will go find him.

Because you are not the only one who lost something today.

***

Ssssssssssssss-!

The portal that greedily opened swallowed up his body and disappeared. And at the same time a warm light began to seep into his body.

Not just to me but to all my colleagues.

‘…Divine power?’

I looked blankly at his hands.

The wound was slowly but steadily regenerating.

Unlike the potion there was no pain only warmth.

Slurp.

Only then did I come to my senses and check behind me.

The priest’s body was seen torn to pieces.

No can we call that body now?

No arms or legs.

Dark red blood flowed from the gouged eyelids and the nose was cut like a corpse on a battlefield.

Also there are no things that should be inside the vertically cut abdomen.

“Why…”

I muttered without realizing it.

Why on earth did this old man give so much?

And that too for us who are strangers.

“The letter… in my arms….”

Then I heard a faint sound.

That was what the priest said.

I couldn’t believe it but I quickly walked over and searched through the robe.

A crumpled and worn letter appeared here and there.

“Leath….”

“Don’t worry just rest. “I will definitely deliver this letter to the Leatlas Church.”

“Thank you….”

Soon the priest closed his eyes.

There was blood everywhere but his wrinkled face looked so clean and comfortable.

When he was looking at this he felt as if he was dreaming.

How can I talk like this?

I couldn’t help but ask.

If you miss now you won’t have a chance.

“…Why did you save us?”

Because it’s the right thing to do?

Well anyone with this kind of will would have had a chance to be liberated long ago.

But why was it today?

It couldn’t have been just a coincidence and I was very curious about the inside story.

“….”

No answer came back.

Could it be that he’s already dead?

As he stood up with that thought in mind the priest’s lips parted slightly.

“Magic….”

The sentence was not complete.

But that was enough.

“I see thank you for letting me know.”

I stood up without any hesitation.

There were many things I wanted to ask but somehow it felt like the old man had already left this place.

“….”

I stopped for a moment and listened.

An awkwardly disparate silence.

I chanted to myself as if I was enjoying the lingering silence.

‘You survived.’

survived.

The dwarf Misha and Lotmiller.

No one died.

but….

‘I guess I can’t say I kept my promise like this.’

I smiled bitterly as I looked at my colleague’s body across the aisle.

[Can you win…?]

[Don’t worry. I will definitely save everyone and return.]

I said that confidently.

In fact he was the one who protected us.

That we can all come back alive.

It was like a miracle given by God which is not even worthy of the word luck.

[Magic….]

A wizard who fought until the very end.

Riole Warb Dwalki.

It was the legacy he left us.
