Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 186



Episode 186: Tempest (1)

The dwarf said.

They say they are at a much better advantage without me.

Now I see that it wasn’t nonsense at all.

Babababababaat-!

A body that is shot like a cannonball under air resistance.

When you look at it from a high place you can see the situation at a glance.

“You just have to hold out until Mr. Yandel comes!!”

Although no one was seriously injured or killed his colleagues were suffering.

As I who had been acting as a wall left the burden on my colleagues multiplied.

While Woongi has been canceled the undead summoned by Priest Karui are swirling around from all directions.

“uh?”

At that time I made eye contact with Misha.

“Huh?”

“Mr. Karlstein! “Where are you looking now… huh?”

Additionally I made eye contact with Raven.

It’s quite a distance away but I think this is what my mouth is agape.

Why is the Barbarian flying?

Let me correct one thing: I am not flying.

It would be correct to say that it is falling.

The name is Barbarian Meteor.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment you tighten your back maintain balance and land on your feet a footprint that is better described as a crater is carved deep into the ground.

and….

Support.

An electric sensation bloomed in my legs.

If it wasn’t for the correct bone strength the bone might have been shattered.

With that in mind I checked my surroundings.

Huuuuung-!

A ring of dust extending around the landing point.

It is an additional effect of jumping which is used as a mobility device.

「The jump power value increases tenfold in an instant and when it lands it inflicts a strong shock to the surrounding area.」

Area damage inflicted to surrounding areas.

Of course the amount of damage is minimal.

Did I classify it as a mobile device for no reason?

It is safe to say that there is no widespread damage even if it is the narrow area that I crushed.

Ssssssssssssss-!

An army of undead falling as if pushed by wind pressure.

The dwarf remnants were only taken aback by the sudden intrusion but stood still in place despite being hit by a strong wind.

but….

“The total weight of the character is more than 500 kg.”

“Special terrain effect [rebound] is applied additionally to the damage range.”

Sorry I’m in [Giant] state.

Kuung-!

Just like the sound of thunder is heard only after lightning strikes.

As soon as the wind pressure disappears the ground begins to tremble and throw away everything standing on it.

“Aaaah!”

“What…!”

Hundreds of undead and dwarf remnants floated in the air.

The corners of my mouth curled up at the overwhelming taste of mulberry.

‘Fortunately it seems to have gained weight.’

I was worried inside.

[Giantization] has been applied to the equipment through [Unification] but there are many parts that have not yet been matched.

Well even if it’s not this the biggest advantage of the [Leap] skill is still there.

“The threat level increases temporarily.”

Threat value bonus granted briefly after landing.

What this means to me is significant.

This means that following [Giantization] a skill has been added that can increase the fixed value of the threat value.

“That guy is here….”

“I’m a dwarf! “Is that bastard… dead?!”

“They say you can endure it!!”

I shouted looking at the remaining dwarves who seemed to have already lost their will to fight at my appearance.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

Because it is also a condition for the activation of [Wild Eruption].

“Temporarily the character’s threat value increases by three times and the physical value increases in proportion to that value.”

Physical bonus proportional to threat level.

Okay this is it.

I feel like I really am an ogre.

[Okay!]

Summoned monsters started flocking to me like crazy people.

On the other hand intellectuals were different.

“Retreat! “Retreat!”

“Run away too!”

These guys abandon their formation and run away as if they are suffering from the status ailment ‘fear’.

Hmm isn’t this just a reasonable judgment rather than a threat figure?

Quang! Quang! Whoa! Wow!

A huge mace and shield.

And with his two legs which were no different from human weapons he chased down the dwarf remnants crushing and shooing away the undead summons.

Coo! Coo! Coo!

A bonus is that you can hear the footsteps of a large monster every time you run.

“Stop it! Stop it! “You are a warrior!!”

“How can I stop this crazy thing—”

The bouncing fairy archer plunged her dagger into the thigh of the beastman swordsman.

“Ahh! Damn bitch…!”

A swordsman who rolls on the floor due to inertia.

“Uh huh…?”

Soon it was in my hands.

A grip large enough to hold a person’s head with one hand.

“…Ha surrender. I surrender—”

I slowly applied my strength.

But is it because of [wild outburst]?

He must have had physical resistance or something like that.

Kwasik-!

In my experience it feels softer than a watermelon.

‘Then next.’

Soon [Wild Eruption] ended and the frantic energy disappeared but there was no problem with the chase.

To begin with I haven’t even finished the third chapter yet.

A situation where a 500m radius is blocked by a barrier.

Plus now we have mobility devices.

Quaaaaang-!

When I used [Leap] to block their path the dwarf remnants abandoned their weapons and surrendered without a moment of hesitation.

They decided that it would be better to leave it to their own mercy.

Well there was some basis.

“Please save me. I’ll do anything. If we’re going to catch the Guardian we’re going to need blood. “Isn’t that right?”

I need to think about this a bit.

With the help of his colleagues who arrived after him he disarmed the remaining group.

Then you can turn off [Giantization] now.

“Bjorn! What on earth is that!! me too! “I want to do it too!!!”

Is it a barbarian instinct?

There was strong greed in Einar’s eyes as he witnessed the [Leap]. A level of greed that cannot be compared to the look in the eyes when looking at cotton candy.

I promised without hiding my happiness.

“Hehe I’ll find something similar later.”

“Really!! “It’s what I promised!!”

“Yes it is a promise.”

There is something similar to [Leap] in Einar’s training tree. Since it is a level 3 essence it will take several years to obtain it.

If you’re a female barbarian you should at least be able to jump.

“Over there! Please help too!”

huh?

These were words I heard while I was stripping off the equipment of the dwarven remnants.

Turning her head she saw a woman.

‘Oh he was alive too….’

The new leader of the HansG team.

So the name is…

Since she doesn’t bother to ask let’s make her an Indian girl.

“Potion! Please lend me some potion. First of all I fed him what I had…”

As I followed the Indian woman’s gaze I saw a blunt warrior lying on the floor near her.

“Is he alive?”

“yes yes!”

The Indian girl nodded her head enthusiastically as if she had caught a glimpse of her hopes.

I thought for a moment.

It’s natural to save someone’s life but I worry that using a potion might be a waste.

Eventually I held the Priest of Karui in my hands.

“Hee hee!”

That’s scary.

Who killed it?

I held the priest in my hand and walked forward putting him down in front of the blunt warrior.

“Treat.”

“Yes yes!”

Although they serve evil gods Karui’s priests can also use general divine powers.

Well if you can’t even do this camouflage itself will be impossible.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As the divine power entered the burns that had filled the blunt warrior’s body were slowly erased.

The sound of breathing suddenly became much more stable.

“thank you. thank you really….”

“What happened to the wizard?”

“He also passed away.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes. “When I checked my heart was already…”

“I see. We’ll take care of that so stay with us until he wakes up. “This guy will be confused too.”

“yes yes! thank you…!”

When I returned to the place where my colleagues were the capture of the dwarf remnants had already been completed and everyone was wearing only underwear.

“…Where did the gag come from?”

“Is this what I was carrying?”

what? Why the gag?

When I asked the reason out of pure curiosity an unexpected answer came out.

“I’m interested in this too.”

“Uh… Is that so?”

I was truly embarrassed.

But this reaction might hurt Raven’s feelings.

“okay. Something like that… I’m not bad right?”

To avoid any misunderstanding he expressed that he had no negative opinions.

But what is this again?

“It’s not bad? Mr. Yandel are you also interested in demonology?”

“Magicology?”

When I tilted my head Raven also tilted her head.

Suddenly a hypothesis came to mind.

“By any chance… is the gag meant for monsters?”

“Yeah what about it? I was planning to capture one alive and study it later if I had the chance. No wait a minute then Mr. Yandel is writing this to someone…”

Raven’s face which had been blurting his words suddenly turned red.

“…Don’t come any closer.”

“how much?”

“1m.”

“…i get it.”

After a half-joking agreement on keeping our distance I approached the group of prisoners.

And then Hans G’s gag was removed.

There’s something I was curious about.

“I want to ask you something.”

“yes? Ah yes! Anything!”

“How did the dwarfs find out that you were an evil spirit?”

“…yes?”

Hans G looked at me as if he had heard a strange question. However without going against my feelings I answered the question obediently.

The truth was truly unexpected.

“That person was also a professional player… no he was an evil spirit.”

Dwarves were also from Earth.

So I was able to figure out Hans G’s identity just by looking at his actions.

“Tell me exactly what happened between you two.”

I heard more detailed circumstances.

It wasn’t a very long story except that I kept stuttering.

The dwarf spoke to Hans G through a magic tool while on watch. And he came out saying things that people from Earth wouldn’t know.

Hans G happily acknowledged this.

But this was a trap.

The dwarf used a magic tool that records conversations.

Hans G who found this to be a weakness caught the guardian and made a threatening offer to take a big hit.

For your information there were carrots instead of sticks.

Are you saying that you will share the spoils equally take responsibility if things go wrong and take them to Noark?

“I declined it. But… Ugh!”

It was obvious that lame excuses would follow so I ended the conversation and put a gag in my mouth.

Anyway all my questions have been answered.

‘Why are there only 4 players out of 15?’

Hans G the fairy archer the dwarf and even me.

I didn’t like it but in the end I was the winner.

…I guess there’s still the final battle left.

In that sense we quickly moved on to the new agenda.

First turn on Team Voice.

“I’d like to ask your opinion.”

“What are we going to do with these people?”

“okay.”

This does not mean that there will be a majority vote.

In fact if I make a decision all team members will follow my opinion.

But before that I’d like to hear your opinion.

“They are the ones who attacked us! Of course you have to kill him!”

“Uhm I don’t know. “If we can break the rift on our own then of course it would be right to kill them…”

“Will these people really cooperate?”

The opinions were mostly similar.

That it is difficult to trust.

“There is a saying that an ally who cannot be trusted is more dangerous than an ogre.”

Even if we fight together if we can’t fight properly because we are worried about their betrayal it would be betraying the truth.

“But Noark is better.”

“Is it better?”

“As soon as you leave the rift you won’t see us again right? “It’s not like there’s a chance that if it means saving your life you might want to take that risk.”

Raven’s gaze turned to the fairy archer and Hans G.

“But those two are different.”

evil spirit.

In some ways it is a being that feels more evil and unpleasant than the explorers of the underground city.

“right! So did the Chief! “Evil spirits must be killed as soon as they are found!”

“Yeah… I didn’t know before but after what happened today I definitely understand. “Why did people say not to believe in evil spirits…”

“These are people who will do anything to avoid being discovered. It is wise to kill it when the opportunity arises. “Because the results of what happened to those who believed in evil spirits are right there.”

Every time I heard a word I felt like a dagger was stabbed in my heart.

What would they do if my identity was discovered?

Will I look at you like this then too?

“So what do you think Mr. Yandel?”

He shook off meaningless thoughts and told me the conclusion I had come to.

“I think it would be better to kill him now.”

In the first place I had no intention of saving him.

It was just a question of whether to kill him now or after killing the guardian.

I have already adapted well to this world.

“Can we kill the Guardian on our own?”

“I have to try something.”

It may sound like a meaningless statement but it is not something completely groundless.

First of all wasn’t there a blunt weapon warrior?

The force increased to six people.

Also there will be more items among the loot that can be used right away such as the sign of the Guardian Corps that was acquired this time.

Above all if my prediction is correct the number of wizards will increase by one more.

“Then now all we have to do is find the doppelganger.”

“yes. There’s a long way to go before the Stone of Truth is released and since they’ve decided not to cooperate I think I’ll just have to kill them all. “Once you’ve been sacrificed on the altar you’ll be released later right?”

“Turn off the voice control magic.”

I asked Raven to turn off the team voice spell and then approached the group of prisoners.

A silence that seems cold but also has a strange warmth.

“….”

A questioning look filled with both hope and anxiety caught my attention.

Well if you have any sense you would know.

The meeting was over and a decision was made.

There was no need for long words.

“It won’t hurt.”

maybe.

“Ugh! Ugh!!”

The prisoners who were waiting for me to open my mouth were struggling and saying something.

Like a candle shaking as it longs for life.

I swung the mace without hesitation.

Let’s start with the priest of Karui who is located at the very end.

Kwasik-!

Next is the magic wizard.

Kwasik-!

HansG.

Kwasik!

And even a fairy archer.

Even if he had a doppelganger he hit his head hard enough to kill him instantly.

Kwasik.

This entire process took only about 5 seconds.

Those who had been struggling more intensely than anyone else until then became as quiet as a lie.

Four bodies with their crushed heads lying on the floor.

Looking at this I only thought of one thing.

Good thing I kept the gag on.

“Mr. Yandel! “What if I just hit you like that?”

huh?

“No matter how bad it is for a monster it will break if you’re not careful!”

ah….

But isn’t that what’s important now?

“You’re calm.”

“yes? “What is that…”

“Now you are the only doppelganger candidate left.”

Nine people for whom verification magic did not work.

Among them the only ones left standing unharmed were me and Raven.

But since I used the Stone of Truth I am excluded.

Did you realize the current situation too late?

“ah…!”

Raven exclaimed her eyes widening.

“Not me! Why am I a doppelganger? No this can’t be happening…? There was some mistake…”

Yes that’s how it comes out.

“Raven is my doppelganger. “Everyone step back!”

At my shout the three people next to Raven were startled and fell backwards.

“I never thought you were a doppelganger… I never even dreamed.”

“Give Aruru back!! Although he is a human and a wizard! “Still you are my precious colleague!!”

The Geundil sisters are astonished.

and….

“It’s really not true. Trust me. As soon as the Stone of Truth is created tomorrow I will write it down and check it! yes?”

“What a clever monster you are trying to make me consume the Stone of Truth even when everything is over.”

Mr. Bear quietly raised his crossbow and went into alert mode. Raven’s expression changed to look like she was about to cry.

“Oh no….”

He could make a face like this.

“It’s really not true!!!”

Now that I think about it it was my first time screaming this loud.

‘This… is precious.’

It’s not something you see often so I’m a bit greedy…

If I do this any more I might actually cry.

So the joke ends here.

“Now all that’s left is you. But if not you then who are you?”

“That’s…!”

“I guess it was you who said that the doppelganger will be released when the host dies even if it is not offered on the altar?”

I gave him a hint as if I was pushing him.

I thought that we wizards would think of one possibility based on this alone.

“Oh maybe!! Someone could be alive!! “I heard that doppelgängers are good at pretending to be dead!”

It was the line I had been waiting for.

“Someone is alive….”

“Where are we going?”

Raven shouts in confusion as I move forward.

Trudging.

Soon I stopped walking.

An unfortunate wizard whose shoulder was blown off by a dwarf.

It was the spot where Parthean lay down.

He first bent down and felt his pulse.

“…Are you still alive?”

“Try to be quiet.”

My heart stopped beating.

Breathing had also stopped.

Tuk-tuk.

I got up and kicked the wound.

“….”

There was no movement.

Hmm can you tolerate this much?

He took out a bottle of potion and poured it.

Cheeeeeeeeeee.

Bubbles bubbled up and no one hurt.

“Kyeeeeeeeek—!!”

Yeah you can’t stand potions either.
