Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 225



Episode 225: Reversal (1)

Goblin Forest is the brightest of the second floors.

Although it is dark the stars that decorate the sky serve as a source of light to some extent.

Well it’s still not as bad as this.

Whoa!

Dozens of light spheres floating in the air illuminate the surrounding area as brightly as day.

It feels like watching a stadium at night with the lights on.

‘How much magical power do you have left?’

This alone makes me feel the difference in level so clearly that my heart tightens…

That’s not what you’re thinking about right now.

“Yandel those guys….”

“Annihilator and Corpse Collector. And I don’t know about the other one.”

While briefly sharing information with the warriors who entered the portal behind him he stared straight ahead.

“Oh I guess you came alone as expected?”

The beastman whose identity he had not yet guessed chuckled.

The guy seemed to be in a good mood.

“If we split this between the three of us we’d make quite a bit of money right?”

Its greedy gaze scans us.

I feel like I’m mob A in a shabby hunting ground.

Ha I was hoping that just because they congratulated me they would just send me away alive.

“It’s low level.”

The old wizard with white hair ‘Doom Scholar’ clicked her tongue as if he didn’t like her.

“why? ‘Isn’t that why you decided to stay?’

The beastman asked but the Annihilator did not answer as if he was annoyed.

At that time the body collector joined in with a smile.

“Fishit don’t you still know that old monster? “I guess you just want to get back quickly loot or something?”

“Hmm is that so? “Then it will be just the two of us who become low-class people.”

“Ha what do you mean? “Do you think I’m left to get some equipment?”

“…Then what is it?”

Corpse Collector.

No it’s a prisoner who tilts his head at the clown’s words.

I also pretended not to listen and listened.

I thought that if I knew the motivations and goals of each person remaining here the range of choices might increase.

Well yes but…

“of course! “I guess I did it because I thought it would be fun!”

The clown shouted exaggeratedly as at the round table.

“With just a speck of hope you can kill an explorer who barely made it through that difficult path and arrived here! “Isn’t this the best?”

The Annihilator frowned again.

“What is that way you talk? “It’s like he’s acting all of a sudden.”

“Ah you mean that? If you’re lucky you might know someone among them! Fishit.”

“acquaintance…?”

“There is such a thing. I’ve wanted to kill everyone for a long time but wouldn’t it be fun to just kill them? “Isn’t it fun to at least know who I am when I die!”

“You are saying something completely incomprehensible. Take care of it. “I’ll just rest.”

The Annihilator looked like it was difficult to understand but I felt differently.

‘You crazy psycho bastard.’

He was hoping that if any of us were members of the Round Table he would recognize him.

So he even put on a mask and revealed himself.

In a way it was a gesture that showed his resolve.

I won’t let anyone live here.

“Hmm but there are a lot more numbers than I thought?”

Even though his colleagues were entering through the portal in real time the prisoner who was chatting calmly stared at us with a questioning expression.

However there was no sign of nervousness at all.

The royal family’s core forces were left behind.

No matter how many of those guys there are I guess I’m confident enough to deal with them.

‘Rather good.’

I decided to think as positively as possible.

If they had decided from the beginning to fire at me as soon as they got to the second floor the situation would have been much more grim.

It’s good when the enemy underestimates us.

therefore….

“Seeing as no more fish are coming I guess this is the end?”

Whether that is arrogance or not arrogance.

We just have to use it.

“Still it could have been a problem if there had been more but it’s good.”

“What’s the problem with Pisit?”

A high-ranking necromancer also known as the One-Man Army.

The clown clicked and snapped his fingers.

Whoa!

A huge subspace opened in the air.

and….

[Grrrrrr!]

An army of over hundreds of corpses poured out.

“Behel—laaaaa!!!”

What I had been hoping for so long.

It’s time to begin the final battle.

***

An army of corpses is coming from the front.

These corpses may have been collected with great effort but they were well-equipped with equipment.

The feeling of intimidation is considerable.

but….

“Hey if we just win this battle we can go back right?”

No one runs away.

At least around me.

“Well I can finally fight properly.”

The already exhausted warriors smile and take out their weapons.

“Finally I can be a bit more sensible. “I’m one level higher than you.”

It is different in many ways from the time when the road was cleared on the first floor.

Various weapons such as swords hammers axes maces and others emit bright light.

“Alexandro Bell cast [Fire Fury].”

“Ralph Kell casted [Whirlwind Sword].”

“Milton Teterud casted [Banner of Struggle].”

「Energy consumption during battle is greatly reduced.」

Skills that have not been used due to field effects.

“Waaaa!!”

“Let’s go!!”

As if they had been waiting for this moment the warriors rush towards the army of corpses taking out their teeth without hesitation.

I too used [Giantization] and joined the ranks.

So we don’t have stamina or MP?

Quaaaaang-!

The corpse army and the leader collide and an explosion is heard.

This is something that should have been followed in an explorer’s battle.

[Uuuuu….]

As soon as the Corpse Corps’ charge was stopped support continued from the rear.

A flying arrow.

Attack magic with various properties.

And a long-range ability.

Of course they weren’t just watching quietly either.

“Abed Nekrapetto cast [Curse of Stone].”

During the battle his body turns into a stone statue.

“Abed Nekrapetto casted [Corpse Explosion].”

A corpse modified for self-destruction bursts in and explodes.

Pow-!

The power of the explosion is about level 6 fire magic.

It was not enough to instantly kill warriors who had become stronger and more agile using active skills.

but….

Chii Iik.

As expected from corpses handled by Dogneck the bodies of those covered in blood melt instantly at close range.

“Aaaah!!”

In the meantime.

“Hey Barbarian! “Are you the leader here?”

One of the three a beastman takes a big leap and lands in front of me.

It had a completely different appearance than before.

Fierce fangs sticking out.

Fur covering the entire body and a blue mane.

[Giant] A height and skeleton comparable to mine.

The guy had transformed into a beast reminiscent of a lycanthrope.

‘For some reason there was no equipment.’

I glanced at him and did a quick analysis.

‘Is it a reinforcement system?’

‘Soul Beast’ a beastman’s unique ability.

It is presumed that this guy is of the same reinforced type as Missha. Transformation must have been among the powers acquired by raising and raising the level of the soul number.

‘Then what did Jeongsoo eat?’

I put aside the curiosity that would naturally arise and covered his face with a shield.

It was swinging its huge front paws.

Kwaang-!

A heavy shock that shakes your bones.

‘Your strength is better than mine.’

It won’t be an easy fight either—

Whoa!

The moment I was backing away from the struggle a sword was swung.

Not towards me but towards that wolf guy.

“I’ll take care of this guy so you step back!”

It was Melter Fend the leader of the Nartel Clan.

“You’ll take charge of it?”

“These are Kyle’s instructions.”

If that’s the case.

I obediently gave up my opponent to the guy and stepped back.

Isn’t there a saying that the right place is the right place?

Melter Fend is the only level 3 explorer in our expedition. We have been stockpiling our members and strength for the battle on the second floor.

‘I heard you once served as an apprentice knight.’

He will be much better at fighting against each other than I am.

[Can you hear Yandel?]

The moment I turned around after leaving the wolf to Melter I heard Kyle’s voice coming from the message stone.

“I can hear it.”

[I’m sorry. I was late in contacting you because we had to divide up our forces for a while.]

“Enough with the apology just get to the point.”

[You focus only on leading your people and confronting the Corpse Collector. Melter Fend and his colleagues decided to take care of the Blue Mane.]

“Blue Mane?”

[Oh you didn’t know? He made his name known during the Noark subjugation war. He was the successor of the Blue Lang tribe but he seems to have been hiding in Noark after committing a crime and running away.]

Well it wasn’t an Orculis member.

For some reason there was no one that came to mind as soon as I saw it.

“I get it. “I’ll take charge of this.”

[I feel reassured. Then I will pour everything into stopping that old man.]

When you say old you’re probably talking about a doomsayer right?

Maybe the target of revenge Kyle was talking about was that old man.

“Okay then I’ll believe you.”

I spoke as if ending the conversation and swung my mace at the corpses everywhere.

Then I heard a voice again.

[Oh and one more thing.]

“…?”

[Your colleagues will arrive soon.]

“what?”

[….]

No answer came back.

Kwasik-!

It was the moment when the corpse which was protecting its head with a shield was crushed with the shield.

Suddenly!

The adamantium greatsword stuck in the temple of the corpse that was aiming at my side.

“From now on we will help too!!”

Einar.

and….

“Bjorn!”

Misha.

Sister Geundil naturally stood on both sides of me and took a fighting stance.

This was the formation that Team Apple Narak usually used when fighting.

“You’re not going to force yourself to fight alone this time are you?”

When I turned around I saw Raven riding Mr. Bear’s pet Woongi.

‘No wait a minute Woong is here….’

When I checked nearby I noticed that as expected Mr. Bear had also come with us.

“Why are you all here in the back?”

Even if the Geundil sisters are like that why did these two come all the way here?

It would be much safer in the back.

Mr. Bear answered casting an arrow on his large crossbow.

“Because howling is not my specialty.”

Well that’s true too.

Although I don’t think that’s the real reason.

‘Later when I go up to the 6th floor I have to feed it [when it jumps].’

She swung her mace thinking of the essence she would later feed to Mr. Bear.

However the body collapsed before it could be reached.

Grumble!

An arrow of fire stuck between the eyes.

“mister!!”

Yes you came too.

I see that her older sister Daria is next to her.

It seemed like you were just trying to protect yourself with him but did you suddenly change your mind?

I don’t know but it’s not bad.

“Protect the leader!”

Melter Pend and his members have created their own territory within the battlefield and are working hard to beat up the wolves.

“These bastards…!”

Seeing the rave reviews coming in it looks like the strategy is going smoothly.

It’s still a bit difficult for the Annihilator to be quiet but…

‘Let’s believe.’

If something happens Kyle will take care of stopping it.

Just do my job.

thus….

“….”

Take a wide sweep of the front.

Because it was in the [Giant] state it was not difficult to find the clown from afar.

He was sitting on a huge corpse monster watching the battlefield.

As if it were a really enjoyable sight to see.

‘There’s a degree of looking at people funny.’

For some reason I laughed.

Come to think of it that dragon slayer had that look in his eyes when I first met him.

“Misha Einar. From now on we will clear the way.”

I advanced forward in earnest breaking through the army of corpses.

The target is a corpse collector.

The goal is to break the guy’s head and check whether there is a problem with the brain.

“Yandel! Yandel is up to something again!”

“Are they really targeting body collectors?”

“Follow the great warrior!!”

“Let’s go!!”

Explorers began to gather around me.
