Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 253



Episode 253 Open World (2)

A fierce fire rising around the magic shield.

Screams and screams.

The grief of the lost.

Nevarce Greenhop thought as he blankly took in all of that with his eyes.

‘Where on earth did it go wrong?’

There was nothing more to see.

The beginning was the dragon slayer Regal Vagos.

Despite Noark’s dissuasion he kidnapped the high priest and treated him like a slave. Eventually his evil deeds were revealed to the world and he was the one who pulled the sword on the royal family.

but….

‘…is it me?’

Nebarce accepted it without assigning responsibility.

What is the meaning of turning to the past to avoid today?

In the end even the former lord of Noark who accepted Orculis will have to be held accountable.

therefore….

“Do you think it turned out the way you wanted?”

Let’s accept it.

The fact that it was I who created this result today.

“Stick close.”

Nevarche moved his steps without stopping so as not to fall behind and go outside the magic field. In front of him was an old man who was using floating magic as comfortably as breathing.

‘Velbeve Ruingenes.’

An old man who was given the nickname ‘Destructionist’ in his later years.

A wizard who has longed for learning all his life and a being who has driven countless people to destruction with his precious knowledge.

He was the one who went to see Amelia out of frustration after hearing that there was nothing we could do.

Because I had a firm belief back then.

‘representation.’

The royal family is wrong.

We must destroy their power and open a new world where the above and below ground become one.

That is the right thing to do.

Surely… it should have been so.

“It’s so hot….”

“Please save me. “Any amount of money…”

Life burns alive and collapses.

Each time that happened the belief that made him who he is today also slowly crumbled.

Is this really the right thing to do?

To trample on those who do not even have the power to protect themselves claiming that it is for the greater good.

Is this truly the path to a new world?

“stop….”

Nevarche finally couldn’t hold back and opened his mouth.

Only then did the old man stop his steps and look behind him.

With the expression on his face as if he had heard something strange.

“Stop? I also came here because I didn’t want the balance of power to be disrupted but wasn’t it you who asked for help first? “If we stop now the army heading towards Noark will never return.”

right.

but….

“But that’s not what I wanted.”

“okay? “Then what did you hope for?”

I was completely speechless.

What did I expect when I visited the evildoer of this era called the ‘destruction scholar’?

“This is a golden opportunity that will never happen again. Even I didn’t expect him to show up. I don’t know what’s going on. “As long as he attracts attention in the palace there will be no danger to us.”

“Do you know who says this because they value my life? I just… just…!”

Nevarche was speechless until the end.

Then the old man coldly turned his back and started walking forward as if this was a waste of time.

“It looks a little difficult.”

Even at that moment hundreds of flames from his hands were flying indiscriminately with the sole purpose of destruction staining the city red.

“Let go of your emotions and only think about your goals.”

“….”

“Isn’t it better than losing both?”

Very calculating words like a wizard.

Hwaaaaaaa!

Soon the magic field moved away following the old man’s steps and intense heat was transmitted through the skin.

Nevarche inadvertently took a halting step.

Those steps were filled with only doubts.

“Oh mom… I can’t breathe…”

“It’s okay baby….her mommy will be by her side. out.”

What is at the end of this road?

***

It’s raining at night.

This is what the wizards of the Magic Tower did.

Wow!

The security guards who came from all over the city to provide support are not resting either.

A long line stretched from the well.

They are constantly passing buckets of buckets and throwing them towards the fire.

No is it just the security?

“If you’re having a hard time don’t give up and come out! “If you try to do it for no reason you’ll only end up in trouble!”

Among them are explorers who lived nearby and there are also citizens who rolled up their sleeves and said they would be of some help after hearing the news.

People gathered to overcome the disaster in front of them.

“Oh my gosh if this continues it’ll burn all the way to my house!”

“Hey bro! Is that what you want to do now? “Some people have family there now!”

“If you both have the strength to fight throw a bucket!”

Of course not everyone contributed with noble feelings.

The same goes for me who is standing here right now.

‘Raven.’

When I arrived at Karnon the sight before me was overwhelming.

A fire on a scale completely different from that of a few factories burned down in modern times.

Is Raven really holding up well?

No maybe…

‘Maybe something.’

He hits the man on the chin with his fist to wake him up.

Pow!

How to have a healthy mind in a battered body.

There is no time to worry or think.

First of all isn’t Raven a wizard?

If it’s his personality he’ll be doing well by now taking care of the people around him. Yes you might be lucky enough to stop by the Magic Tower for a moment and avoid this situation.

“There’s a wizard.”

I approached the wizard who was extinguishing the fire and revealed my identity. Even though he spoke to me while he was busy his gaze was friendly.

“There’s a wizard there. It’s been a long time since I’ve been called that. LOL!”

Regardless of my noble title my image seemed to be good.

“So what’s up with that wizard Bjorn Yandel?”

“Can you use cold-blooded magic?”

“Are there any wizards who can’t use that?”

The wizard chuckled at my request and cast a spell.

“The character’s fire resistance increases significantly.”

It’s a little less hot now.

“Are you planning on going in there?”

“I have a colleague inside.”

The wizard who cast the spell on me nodded saying ‘I see’ and grinned.

“But then that’s all it will be?”

huh? what? Are you laughing at me now?

At first that thought occurred to me but I became quite embarrassed by the situation that followed.

Click.

The wizard took out a message stone.

and….

“Ah can you all hear? I’m sorry I’m busy but I’d like to ask you a favor. “Everyone knows him as Bjorn Yandel and he has to go into the flames to save his comrades.”

He contacted someone and asked for a favor.

“If there are any artifacts or drugs that can help with fire resistance please send them to the designated coordinates of my personal laboratory. “I will summon you here on my own.”

Is it something like a group chat room between wizards?

It was unexpected luck for me so I just shut up and waited.

Before long replies came one by one.

[If it’s Bjorn Yandel he’s also received a noble title so there shouldn’t be a problem with his credibility. However if any damage occurs please be aware that we will charge you.]

The voice of a strict-looking old man.

[great. Most of my disciples have gone to Karnon to volunteer but I will send everything I am asking about from the remaining disciples.]

A young woman’s voice.

[Thanks to him my favorite student came back alive this time. Tell them I’ll send you the scroll but you don’t have to pay for it.]

A man’s voice that sounds somewhat kind.

[Since this is Bjorn Yandel it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use this opportunity to clear some debt. If you are not listening to the conversation please speak for me. Please remember that it was we the ‘Ioni’ school who sent us the ‘Fire Dragon’s Ring’.]

A voice with a calculating personality

and….

[Aru? Are you really referring to that child as a colleague?]

Even a voice that is familiar to your ears.

‘Is this voice… an old man?’

If I remember correctly he is commonly referred to as an old man.

This is the voice of the master of the large school Artemion who is also Raven’s teacher.

“Well I guess that’s right. “He’s nodding his head.”

[I’m sending everything I have right now.]

With this all contact ended.

To be honest I was dumbfounded.

‘What on earth is this situation?’

I talked to the wizard who seemed the most formidable just to get the ‘cold-blooded’ magic.

But now that I see it it’s not that serious.

Everyone in the group chat room seemed to have the same nuance of speaking as if they were the head of a school and in fact among the members was an old man who was a master of Artemion.

And that means.

‘I guess this means he’s not an ordinary wizard either.’

I asked out of pure curiosity.

“Who are you?”

He smiled and introduced himself as if he had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.

“Oh by the way I guess I didn’t introduce myself. “I am Leven Arpegan.”

It was my first time hearing this name.

However I knew the school he revealed next.

It was a middle-ranking school in the Magic Tower.

But I never would have thought that the master of that school was this young.

“I will definitely repay this debt someday.”

“If you feel comfortable doing so.”

Within a few minutes replies arrived one after another through the message stone saying that the items had been moved and Leven Arphegan used magic to summon all the items at the coordinates here.

‘It’s a true fire dragon’s ring.’

It was filled with a variety of rare items starting with top number items.

As I looked at them one by one I felt really strange.

“Heavenly luck helped.”

In fact saying that I am lucky is not enough.

What are the chances that the wizard I spoke to by chance is the head of a school and is so friendly to me that he even uses a private group chat room to help me?

“You’re talking strange about luck.”

huh?

“This is the first time in my life that I have seen authors go out of their way to help strangers. Do you think this was just possible because of luck?”

When I tilted my head Leven smiled and continued.

“I don’t know what they saw when you said you would save your comrades so they willingly came forward to help. but….”

“….”

“You achieved all of this.”

It was a long-winded speech as expected of a wizard but I felt like I understood what he was trying to convey.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say this to my face.

Ugh.

As I wiped my ash-covered nose hiding my embarrassment Leven smiled and tapped my shoulder with his arm.

“So don’t say you got lucky but do what you have to do. “We must hurry to save our comrades.”

Yes this is not the time to be lost in sentimentality.

“thanks.”

After expressing my sincere gratitude I wore or took the summoned items.

“The character has taken the lye of eternity.”

“Temporarily increases fire resistance by +50.”

“The character has consumed spirit tears.”

“Temporarily increases all elemental resistance values ​​by +15.”

“The character has taken pure flame.”

“Temporarily fire damage received is reduced by 10% and fire sensitivity increases by +15…”

「….」

「….」

First drink the doping potion.

Support position.

Tear the scroll.

and….

“The character is No. 4819 I am wearing a lava shield.”

“Comprehensive item level increases by 985.”

“The character is No. I am wearing the 760 Fire Dragon Ring.”

“Comprehensive item level…”

「….」

「….」

Equip yourself with various fire-specific artifacts including the Triple Number item.

Grumbling!

The air no longer even feels hot.

As a test I held out my hand towards the flames but the same thing happened.

“That’s cool.”

Those words came out without me even realizing it.

Of course it was a sentiment that Leben who is not Korean could never understand.

“Hmm no matter how much my tolerance increases I won’t feel that sensation…”

“It just felt like that.”

As I looked around I stared into the flames that still showed no signs of abating.

And I asked Leven one thing.

“What did you see in me?”

Leven said a while ago.

I don’t know what it was but I think everyone saw something in me and was willing to help.

So what on earth did he see?

“It was a rumor.”

The answer was completely unexpected.

“rumor?”

“All the rumors I heard about you. I saw you for the first time today but I knew it as soon as I made eye contact. “It was all true.”

An ambiguous line that leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

As I was about to ask for more details Leven pushed my back with his anchovy arm.

“…someone’s body looks like a steel bar.”

Leben smiled awkwardly as he looked at my motionless body and asked for a favor.

“Oh come to think of it I didn’t say this. If you still have strength after saving your comrades please save others as well.”

It’s not particularly difficult.

Okay reception.

“I will try my best.”

“When you say it like that it sounds very trustworthy. “Anyway I won’t hold you back any longer so go now.”

Soon I completed all preparations by activating the ‘Fire Orb’ that I had previously acquired.

“The fire orb has been activated.”

「All fire-type continuous damage derived within a 15m radius is reduced by 50%.」

It’s called Barbarian Firefighter Mode.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”
