Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 244



Episode 244: Junction (4)

Hans Ifreia.

To be exact the man who participated in the title award ceremony by borrowing his name and face washed his face with cold water.

Wow!

Every time the water hit it the pieces of meat that were stuck to the skin were washed away and flowed down the drain.

Just looking at it makes me feel nauseous.

‘…It’s been a while since I felt this bad.’

In the early days of falling into this familiar yet unfamiliar world I experienced many worse things but those days are already a long time ago.

‘…I don’t need to approach I just have to watch from afar.’

Afterwards the man returned to the banquet hall and checked the table where he had spoken with the barbarian earlier.

For some reason she was empty.

She approached the servant and exchanged a few words but it seemed that he had already left in a carriage.

‘…I don’t feel like returning to the Magic Tower like this.’

After the man thought for a moment she left the palace.

And she deployed both invisibility magic and floating magic at the same time and flew over the city.

It’s called stealth flight mode.

‘There it is.’

Looking down from dozens of meters in the air he soon spotted Bjorn Yandel’s carriage.

Seeing that there were escort knights on horseback around there was no way they could have mistaken it for a carriage.

‘It looks like he’s going home.’

The man inferred the destination from the direction of the carriage and soon followed it.

Well my expectations that that barbarian might be the person I was looking for have diminished a lot but…

‘Maybe it’s acting.’

It’s not that there isn’t a possibility yet.

It was his first time seeing a barbarian act so brainlessly.

In fact there are parts that make it more suspicious.

‘… With his understanding of the game he would have figured out quickly how to act in this world and moved ‘perfectly’ than anyone else.’

It can be interpreted either way whether positive or negative.

Therefore more information is needed.

What kind of person is Bjorn Yandel?

She said ‘She was living with three women….’

For some reason ignoring the feeling of envy she and the man chased after her carriage eagerly.

If she’s living together she probably isn’t an ordinary person.

If you take a look at his daily life at home you will be able to find more definite clues.

It was a car that I followed at a distance with that thought in mind.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The carriage exploded.

***

An explosion that reminds me of the pillar of fire that day.

However its power was nothing compared to that of that time.

Fortunately.

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

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

My vision is blurry as if my retina was damaged by the heat.

Additionally the reddened skin peels off and her entire body feels itchy and throbbing.

It seems like my muscles are also very damaged.

but….

“assassin! “The assassin has arrived!!”

It didn’t happen in one hit.

And the body moves too.

‘Damn it.’

I endured the rising anger and quickly put my hands on the ground and raised myself up. And I activated the subspace ring I received back when I left the house.

‘I should have started putting on my gear as soon as I came out of the palace.’

No matter how fast you regret it is too late.

First I took out the shield and put it on my forearm.

Then something exploded and black smoke spewed out.

‘Is it like a smoke bomb?’

Since my vision was blocked several times I quickly focused on my hearing without panicking.

“Aaaah!”

As the incident occurred in the middle of the city civilians’ screams were heard everywhere.

“Ruthless!”

“Punish the evil weightlifters!”

The knights responded and the sound of weapons sounded.

But that’s not what I need to worry about.

Among all the noise I have to distinguish what threatens my life.

For example…

Tadat.

Yeah something like this.

As soon as I heard the sound I turned in that direction and lowered my posture.

That moment.

Quang!

The shock is transmitted beyond the shield.

Huh you can see my location even through the smoke.

There was no reason to stay quiet.

“Keplo! “Is he alive?”

I shouted with all my might and checked the safety of the person who was right next to me right before the explosion.

There was no answer.

Is he dead? Or just faint?

Sigh.

First he quickly put his hand into subspace and pulled out a mace.

At that time the sound of a wave was heard again.

Huh!

In my experience this sound usually comes from ‘cutting’.

Trust the judgment made by your subconscious and twist the shield diagonally.

Coo!

Soon there was a collision on the left side of the shield.

In this way there is no problem even if you cannot see in front of you.

Huh!

Swing the mace with all your might towards the place where you think the enemy is.

Kwasik-!

It tasted like my hand.

Well this is correct.

Since he is an assassin I thought he would be agile.

“Wow!”

Something in the smoke lets out a death-like scream and flies away and lands.

It was then.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

As anyone could see an artificial gust of wind blew and pushed away the black smoke.

‘magic? ‘Who is it?’

There were no wizards on our side.

However there will be no need for the assassin to clear the smoke.

Who used the magic?

Putting aside the brief question I check my surroundings.

“Mr. Yandel! Are you safe?”

The number of knights standing still is only four.

On the other hand the masked people surrounding the shattered remains of the carriage are over 30 in number.

‘Amelia…isn’t there?’

I scanned the masked people to see if there was anyone with a similar body type to Amelia.

There were about three candidates but it wasn’t clear.

“There was no mention of a wizard!”

“Why are you hesitating! Hurry up and kill me!”

The assassins resumed their attack for a moment before they were taken aback by the magic that drove out the smoke.

They also know this.

Since this was a surprise attack in the middle of the street if we couldn’t finish it quickly we would be in trouble.

“Protect Yandel!!”

When my location was confirmed the knights who were fighting each other hurriedly approached me and formed a guard formation.

It seems understandable why nobles are so obsessed with training knights.

How loyal and trustworthy these people are.

‘I guess I won’t have time to wear armor.’

After understanding the surrounding situation I completely erased my regrets and unleashed my supernatural ability. Originally I thought I would try it out tomorrow when I go to the training ground.

‘transcendence.’

Bayon’s ability [Transcendence].

It is a unique skill that is both passive and active.

When deactivated the performance of all passive skills is enhanced by 1.5 times.

[Acidic fluid] becomes more powerful.

[Hero’s Path] and [Ironskin] increase the numerical value increase and Manticore’s [Inheritance] also applies similarly.

This alone is a good enough skill.

but….

“The character casted [Transcendence].”

The true value of this skill lies when it is used actively.

“The next skill you use will be strengthened.”

It is not a simple reinforcement but a unique additional effect for each skill that is temporarily added.

“The character casted [Giant].”

“The abilities inherent in the skill are unlocked by the power of the Transcendence.”

The reason why Shield Baba’s core skill is level 5 [Giantization] is also in this skill.

“Your physique grows in proportion to your muscle strength.”

Physique bonus applied in proportion to strength rather than a fixed value.

‘I guess it’s about 5m.’

Also called gigantic (transcendence) mode.

‘At this rate… it would be roughly similar to the Liakis match back then.’

Try to estimate the new size based on a different eye level than usual.

It is at a similar level to the time when Misha’s older brother had grown 1.5 times larger with the [Unholy One].

There is an ogre’s essence but the setting has not been completed yet so it is not satisfactory.

but….

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

It cannot be denied that it has become much stronger.

[Giantization] where physical and threat values ​​increase in proportion to height.

And [Wild Eruption] where the body value increases again according to the threat value.

Both are applied simultaneously and the power boils over.

thus….

‘jump.’

Kick off the ground with all your might and fly up.

The expected landing point is in the direction of the masked person who is aiming in this direction with a bow in the distance.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment it touched the ground the masked man rose high holding a bow.

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

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

Fortunately it seems that the height has increased and the weight has been met.

I was worried because I wasn’t wearing armor.

“uh?”

A masked person who spews out incoherent sounds in the air seemingly unaware of the situation he is in.

Why didn’t I know you would come from here first?

When I swung the mace like a baseball bat its neck bent at a bizarre angle.

Kwasik.

Okay one thing first….

‘huh?’

As he was turning his head to find the next target a masked guy jumped out from the bottom right corner of the car.

An exquisite angle that would have been square originally.

However I saw this clearly and avoided it.

This was thanks to the basic stats of the new essence.

[Bayon]

Soul Power +100 Soul Regeneration +30 Strength +25 Pain Resistance + 30 Bone Strength +30 Anti-Magic Power +20 Vision +25

Vision +25.

This stat expands the viewing angle not eyesight.

So in the game there were bonuses to detailed statistics such as evasion rate.

Kwasik!

After kicking the guy in the stomach as it bounced around I took a leaping stance again.

But did he finally come to his senses?

The knights were startled and screamed at my unexpected behavior as they were the target of the guard.

“Come here!”

Who is going to protect whom?

I ignored it pretending not to hear it and leapt toward my next destination. And we took them down one by one using the same combo as before.

There has never been such a strong enemy.

Kwasik-!

I felt it earlier when I was harassing a guy in the smoke but the level was strangely low.

‘Is there really no Amelia level?’

I even thought about using [Leap] to jump away if there was even the slightest danger but even that anxiety soon disappeared.

I will know better after dealing with it in person.

If it weren’t for the initial explosion the knights alone would have been enough to defeat it.

But what is this again?

“…I told you I only had to deal with Ki knights!”

As I began to rampage and the knights began to fight individually and put pressure on them internal divisions began among the masked people.

“At first they said one blast from that blast would kill me!”

“I’m going back now. “I’ve never heard of this guy fighting so well!”

When one or two people fled the battlefield for fear all the masked people chose to run away.

It was absurd.

‘What are they?’

There seemed to be no sense of purpose at all.

***

‘…is it really true that it was sent from Noark?’

Even such suspicions began to bloom but for now he worked hard and captured the bouncing masked cubs alive.

The total number captured was four.

Unfortunately all the others ran away.

“…Thank you for your hard work.”

The knight awkwardly came to me and saluted perhaps because it was his first time being carried by a nobleman who was to be escorted.

“Oh you guys worked hard too. “Is there anyone dead?”

To my question the driver answered that three people were dead.

Fortunately Keplo wasn’t trapped inside.

Even though he was caught in the explosion in the very center with me he still seems to have that much durability.

I gave him the potion on time so he will come to his senses in a little while.

‘Then let’s try to interrogate him.’

After the battle the security guards came rushing in. I grabbed one of the captured men and took off his mask.

What was hidden beyond was a man I had never seen before.

“…Hmph!”

The man was trembling and couldn’t even make eye contact as if he sensed that he was screwed.

He reached out his hand and stuffed it into the guy’s mouth.

“Kuhkuk khuk!”

He searched diligently but found nothing dogmatic.

Well is there a difference between cartoons and reality?

If he’s an assassin shouldn’t he have one in his mouth?

‘Ah if they had that much will they wouldn’t have run away in the first place.’

Really what are these guys doing?

I asked wiping the spit that had gotten on my hand on his clothes while stuffing it into his mouth.

“Who sent you?”

“….”

The guy didn’t answer.

It wasn’t a very meaningful action.

If you beat them a little they will open their mouths on their own.

He was thinking about that and raising his fist.

Flash-!

A white flash exploded from the dark sky.

and….

Kuuuuuuung-!!

Something flew like a meteorite and hit the ground.

At first I thought the assassins had run away and fired a catapult but…

“Whoops…!”

It was one man.

It was surrounded by a spherical protective shield and its face was all too familiar.

That’s because I met him just before.

“Hans Ifreia…?”

No what on earth is it?

Why did he fall from the sky again?

I was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected development.

Ta dat ta dat ta dat.

Another man jumped down from the sky where Hans I had fallen. And he approached Hans I without paying any attention to me.

“….”

Neither I nor any of the knights dared to utter a single word due to the strange sight.

The air changed the moment the man arrived and did not allow this.

“Oh just take it easy. yes?”

“I told you you got the wrong person.”

“Even if you say ‘haha’ it doesn’t work for me?”

Soon the man stretched out his hand and the protective shield around Hans I was torn apart helplessly.

Jijijijik.

Hans I whose face turned white from the overwhelming sense of intimidation.

The man bluntly grabbed him by the collar.

And he said.

“Of course it’s you. GM.”

“….”

“Quickly untie the van. Otherwise you’ll really be left out here.”
