Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 214



Episode 214: Discard (3)

A level 4 explorer who uses aura.

You must have thought it was a truly frustrating enemy.

Yes if it were me before.

Huuuuuung-!

Of course I haven’t finished setting up the aurors yet.

An auror on a level 5 metal adamantium greatsword?

It is certain that a moonstone shield will turn into a piece of scrap metal in an instant.

but….

“You must have a taste for cutting.”

[Dungeon & Stone] is not simply a game played with HP/MP or item levels.

It’s a level 4 swordsman a level 3 tanker and a swordsman.

A hardcore game where a single misjudgment could lead to the character’s death.

“The taste of cutting is damn good.”

No matter how strong you are if you take a critical hit you will fall.

In that sense.

“Come.”

There is absolutely no opponent you can’t beat.

There is a penalty of having to win the game in a short period of time because the enemies are coming from behind.

This is also a problem where you have to throw something away.

“All these barbarian bastards don’t know the subject.”

I just desperately wish for it.

Please don’t be prepared for that guy.

There is no time to attack safely such as finding skill equipment through exploration.

The living and the dead will be decided in an instant.

As always.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

Let go of fear.

Tadat.

At that time I heard the sound of kicking the ground.

Whick!

Into the fog that filled the passageway a man with a physique over 190 cm tall rushed towards him.

Whoa!

A swinging greatsword.

Tadat.

Rather than blocking with my shield I urgently dodged to the side.

It’s not because the shield I bought for a lot of money is a waste it’s just because it’s meaningless.

If you throw something away you have to gain something.

like this.

Suddenly!

A great sword slashed above the left elbow.

“Hey Mr. Yandel…!!”

In an instant I became one-armed.

This is my second experience after the battle with Riakis the Lord of Chaos.

I wasn’t particularly depressed.

The complacency that I would win with all limbs intact was thrown away the moment I encountered him.

Chii Iik.

Aim the severed limb at the guy and spray acidic blood like a fountain.

“Aaaaaaa!!”

Luckily it hit me in the eye.

‘That’s a huge gain.’

I blocked the guy’s vision in exchange for my arm.

Of course that time won’t be long…

“Use Raven Lava Eruption!”

Next he gives an order and sticks to the guy.

If this guy uses a great sword as a weapon I judge that he can’t harm me with his Auror.

Perhaps if you couldn’t block the view you would have had to sacrifice something bigger to get closer.

“But if that were the case Mr. Yandel…!”

“It’s okay so hurry up and use it!!”

“all right…!”

I urgently stop breathing and infuse strength into my muscles.

It’s similar to when I was wrestling the troll on the 4th floor.

“You damn bastard!!”

Fierce resistance.

Scales sprout from its body.

One of the effects of a [test subject] that temporarily increases physical strength.

I expected it since I use an auror.

‘As expected he’s a gangster.’

Coincidentally I am also of the same type.

“Stay still.”

[Giantization] was used again.

Since I only used it for a few minutes I figured I would have recovered enough MP to use it for about 30 seconds.

“Ugh.”

The weight that suddenly increased caused him to let out a sound of difficulty and bend his back.

Huh huh!

The guy was carrying me on his back and recklessly swung his great sword around. An auror ruthlessly cutting through the walls of the passage and everything else.

“Are you scared because you can’t see?”

“I will kill you!!!”

“Everyone step back!!”

Because of the guy’s sword dance everyone including Misha was unable to get close to score additional hits.

But it’s actually better for me.

Thanks to the guy’s struggles the enemies can’t easily come to his aid.

“You idiot.”

“Aaaaa!!”

The guy tilted his upper body as if he was going to be carried on his back.

But so what?

Clinging to the enemy like a pervert is one of the basic skills of a tanker.

Kuuuung-!

Our two bodies fell and overlapped.

It’s far from a scene from a romantic movie.

It might be the final dog fight in a thriller movie.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Finally the guy let go of the great sword and pounded the bat into my ear with his fist.

Of course there was no problem.

You can’t use your hands as an auror.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

It’s a physical attack so just endure it with physical resistance.

Well since he uses an adamantium sword he has a lot of strength but my brain keeps shaking…

Compared to a severed arm it is nothing more than a minor injury.

“Mr. Kesial!!”

When his mindless sword dance ended by someone else’s will the enemies that could not come rushed towards me.

but….

“Are you really going to shoot me…?!”

One step too late.

“What are you asking!!”

The magic is complete.

“…Iherno Wature Tunbar!”

Grade 4 fire attribute attack magic ‘Lava Eruption’.

Grrrrrrrrr!!

The dark red lava spewed out from Raven’s staff is rushing towards us.

I immediately corrected my posture.

From the position where I was pressing him from above and strangling him I go to the ground and he comes up.

“Let go you barbarian…!”

He shouts as if his vision has returned.

It looks like we saw lava coming down on us.

“Why don’t you like hot things?”

Then you should have increased your fire resistance bastard.

“no!!”

I closed my eyes tightly.

That moment.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I felt a heat that seemed to melt everything.

“Aaaahhh!”

At the same time something was flowing down my skin.

Something that flowed cooled quickly and hardened.

“The character’s health is below 50%.”

「Due to the passive skill [Hero’s Path] all resistance and resistance values ​​increase.」

Flame resistance attached to level 3 of the Immortal Engraving.

Manticore’s anti-magic power.

Orb of Fire.

‘But it’s still like this….’

My whole body feels warm and itchy.

It feels like I drank a potion.

Pain that blooms after breaking through pain tolerance.

But so what?

You don’t want to get sick?

I’m throwing it away like a passive thing.

Again it’s not a kind world.

‘…Should I have asked for ‘Cold Blood’ as well?’

I put away the weakness that had suddenly bloomed.

Isn’t Raven’s magic already in a state of disrepair?

Resources must be conserved.

“Kuhuhuhuh.”

I stand up and push away the guy who has turned into a lump of charcoal.

It feels like the intestines have cooked and turned into a smoothie.

On the other hand whenever you move your body something crunchy falls out.

Is this just the surface?

“Hey Mr. Yandel? “Are you okay?”

“…just a little burnt.”

“It’s a bit burnt….”

Since I caught a bastard who uses auras in a short period of time I guess I’ll have to endure this.

Additionally the bleeding from my elbow stopped.

The bleeding was stopped after being hit by a fire spell.

It is beneficial in many ways—

“Ugh.”

Why the fuck is this guy alive?

Could it be that he also had fire resistance?

Seeing the guy standing up just like me I quickly turned around and stretched out my remaining hand towards the shield I had thrown away earlier.

It was that moment.

“The character’s soul power is insufficient.”

“[Giantization] ends.”

[Giantization] is released and the body loses balance and tilts.

At the same time the hand that was close to the shield moves away.

Exciting-!

Even though the heat was radiating from my entire body I felt a chill down my spine.

If the guy here is a great sword.

No if you take out a dagger and stab my neck it’s game over.

The worst scene was pictured in my mind.

but….

“Wow.”

When I turned my falling body and hurriedly checked behind me.

The guy was walking away showing his back.

Staggering yet fast.

“….”

My body froze for a moment at that unexpected scene.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

‘You’re lucky.’

The guy couldn’t let go of his arrogance.

So even though I had colleagues he blocked me alone.

“Huh huh huh huh huh….”

After that I couldn’t give up hope that I would have a chance.

So even though he had the opportunity to kill me he chose to run away for his life.

I understand that feeling.

“Joe Garten Barbarian…”

For him the battle with me was not about survival.

There was no reason to risk his life and fight.

That was why.

Now the positions between him and I have changed.

“Where are you going?”

Instead of a shield I held in my hand the great sword that he had left behind. The strength gained through Ogre was enough to handle an adamantium greatsword with one hand.

“…Stop it!”

I quickly chased after him.

The distance narrowed in an instant.

The damage to my body was so great that I had no strength in walking.

Before long the sword was within reach.

“You should leave your neck behind.”

The inspection isn’t bad either.

Suddenly!

I shouted smiling at the taste I felt at the tip of the sword.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

survived.

For now.

***

The time it took to meet a level 4 Auror user and cut off his head was about 2 minutes.

That’s what combat is.

It does not take long for winners and losers to be divided.

Chivalry that has been practiced throughout one’s life.

Even high-ranking explorers must have been in and out of the labyrinth countless times.

This is a world where you can lose your life in an instant.

“Ainar!!”

Without even having time to enjoy the afterglow of victory he threw the great sword he was holding at Einar.

“uh? uh?”

What are you panicking about?

You have to take what you need with you.

As soon as I saw it I thought of you.

‘It’s a shame.’

I picked up the shield again with my free hand and tried to look away from the corpse.

I think I’ll come up with something useful after rooting more.

‘There won’t be time for that.’

Let go of your greed and look ahead.

“Kesial was hit!!”

“Kill it!!”

The enemies who had stopped due to the ‘lava eruption’ suddenly came to their senses and attacked.

I move forward with my tattered body.

Because that’s my role.

Shield Charge.

Holding the shield with the remaining arm he runs forward shifting his weight onto his shoulder.

Perhaps because we are almost at our destination the level of explorers is much higher than outside.

Same goes for the Auror Jab bastard just now.

I guess this is the front line.

Clink.

There was no order but the potion flew out and broke.

Rather than pricking the wound with an awl the pain is gentle as if the flesh is being set on fire.

“It’s Mr. Yandel’s favorite advanced potion!”

Yeah somehow.

‘I feel energized.’

Let’s cheer up and go again.

There really isn’t much left now right?

The high point is just around the corner.

“From now on I will help too!”

Einar stood next to me.

“What about Raven?”

“I left it to Uragburak!”

Good decision.

Raven probably said that.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

I stopped checking how far we had gone by looking at the terrain.

Focus only on this moment.

“Misha! “Stick right behind me!”

Just go a little further.

“Erwen! Now! Use it!”

Okay just go a little further.

“Hehe! Oh no. now….”

“Yandel! “Raven’s magic power has run out!”

At that time Raven’s magic support which was being carried by Mr. Bear ended.

Sometimes whenever the road gets blocked or the speed slows down it is no longer possible to force a way through with [Oxygen Explosion].

“Oh no! Lena…!”

As the speed slowed another person died.

He was the magician of the Takelan team.

She was a supporter with a specialty in defense and support and was a woman who had her back strong.

“I just need to go a little further…!”

It’s going to get more difficult in the future.

I grit my teeth and push away the remorse.

“Damn it!!”

I can’t afford to cover her ears.

Even if it were there it wouldn’t work.

It was my decision.

Choice and focus.

Something that needs to be thrown away.

And something that cannot be thrown away.

What I wanted to protect.

“…Misha!”

“Don’t worry! “I can still fight…!”

In a fierce war where it would not be surprising if one more person dies everyone fights their way through with one mind and one will.

How long has it been like that?

“This way!”

Finally a dark passage came into view.

As soon as I saw it I immediately turned around and went across the aisle.

“Look at Erwen!”

“yes yes!”

On behalf of Raven who was out of magic Erwen summoned a fire spirit and illuminated the surroundings.

A passageway littered with colorless crystals.

There was no such thing as explorers from the city coming to meet them.

but….

“Bjorn! “They won’t follow me!!”

The chase stopped as if this was the starting point.

Yes the area was divided by this border.

“Don’t let down your guard and keep moving.”

It is still too early to be reassured.

I continued to move forward without slowing down. I decided that it would not be too late to rest take potions and perform maintenance only after safety was secured.

Maybe about 3 minutes have passed since then?

We encountered the group we had been longing to see.

“stop.”

A group of ten knights.

The surrounding area was full of naked corpses.

It probably belongs to the Noark side.

It was a good thing I risked my life to come here.

I already feel reassured knowing that they are on our side—

‘huh?’

The knight who made eye contact drew his sword and slowly walked away.

The sword was overflowing with aura.

I hurriedly shouted.

“We are not enemies! There’s also a dog tag here—”

Oh my arm… I left it there.

“I don’t have it but everyone else does!”

I hurriedly continued speaking but the response was cold.

“You used to do it but now you’re doing the same trick. That is the street corner occupied by the Noark guys. But you showed up there and got a dog tag?”

You might not believe it.

The fact that we looked like this would have been seen as disguised to infiltrate Spyro.

What should I do?

Would you believe me if I told you the nickname Little Vulcan?

After thinking about it for a while I realized that there was a better way.

“Take off Misha’s ring and show it to me.”

Coincidentally there was an item I was given to use in times like this.
