Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 271



Episode 271: Defense (1)

Winix Carmilla.

After healing her injured eye with her potion she looked at her brother with annoyed eyes.

He also restored her severed arm with a potion.

“Oh really if you had done it right this wouldn’t have happened!”

“Don’t you think you were in too much of a hurry?”

“…is it urgent? Do you think there will ever be a moment like before where it’s just the two of us and that woman? There is nothing wrong with me! “The fault lies with the guy who didn’t pick it properly!”

Carmilla’s accusation made her man sigh.

Yeah she’s fighting here so what can she do?

“I guess things are more certain than that right?”

“You’re worried too uncle. Can’t you feel it? “Is this jewel overflowing with magical power?”

“…If I had that level of magic aptitude I would have become a wizard.”

“What do you say you’re still so stupid that you can’t be a wizard?”

Carmilla raised the corner of her mouth while grunting at her brother as usual.

“How much are you going to sell this for?”

It was the reason she was able to smile even though she had experienced her eye being stabbed with a dagger just moments ago.

Isn’t Noark virtually gone?

She decided that it was wise to take a risk but she was right.

“Now let’s go. Just stop at any island rest and then you’re done. “You can live like a noble for the rest of your life.”

Carmilla drove her drake which was gliding to escape from her island.

It was then.

“for a moment.”

Her man stopped Carmilla.

“Why suddenly?”

“We need to make sure Lane Wales is dead.”

“what? “I already packed my things why?”

Carmilla tilted her head but the man spoke firmly.

After fighting it myself I know better.

To say that Amelia Lane Wales is a monster is an understatement. Perhaps if her surprise attack had not been successful she would not have been able to escape alive.

“If she survives she will have to live with anxiety for the rest of her life when she returns to the city.”

“Does she survive? Stop talking nonsense right? How does she live with that? “You stabbed her in the stomach like that with a sword that even had her poison on it!”

Carmilla screamed at her man’s words.

But even so she didn’t have any concerns about what might have happened.

“…If you’re really worried you can check it out. Is she dead or is she alive? Of course I think she must have died but she was in such a hurry that she couldn’t even get her equipment….”

After a short agreement the two rode the Drake and returned to the island. Fortunately the other two colleagues who went in pursuit have not yet returned.

“… She must have moved well with that body.”

Amelia was nowhere to be seen.

But she wouldn’t have gotten far.

“The blood stains are connected. “It’s this way.”

The two moved along the traces left nearby.

However the trace continued much longer than expected and at some point completely stopped.

“…You erased your traces intentionally. “I never thought I would have had the spirit to do that even in that situation.”

“What should I do? then?”

Only then did Carmilla’s face turn white.

She said she had the spirit to erase her traces but she really thought that the woman might survive.

But there was no other way.

“The chase ends here.”

“Uh you’re saying it ends here?”

“Yeah it’s not like there are any professional searchers among us. Anything more would be a waste of time. “Let’s go back.”

Afterwards her man moved with Carmilla to the place where the battle had taken place earlier.

and….

Kwasik-!

The stones placed on the altar in the center of the island were destroyed.

“Why did you suddenly break it? “Are you by any chance angry with me?”

“What is anger? There is such a thing. “I’ll explain later so let’s leave for now.”

“No what is that—”

Carmilla could not finish her sentence.

Rumbling!

There was strong thunder and dark clouds were gathering.

It seems like the wind has gotten stronger somewhere.

“The tribute from Farune Island has been destroyed.”

“The fury of the sea covers the island.”

She seemed unfamiliar with her man today.

***

Einar and Erwen.

The moment these two showed up I wanted to run out and greet them but I held back to protect the clan leader’s health.

“Oh you’re here.”

When you’re the head of a cancer group you have to have weight.

“You’re late.”

“sorry. But what about other people…?”

“Not yet.”

“yes? Not yet? “I thought we would definitely be the last but we all…”

“stop.”

I cut off Erwen’s words.

“Everyone will be fine so don’t worry too much. “Something happened so I’m just going to be late.”

In fact Erwen and Einar arrived this late but they are all fine.

Ah in that sense let’s ask this first.

“So why are you so late?”

“That’s actually….”

I gave the reason for my tardiness because I thought it might be helpful in guessing the circumstances of other colleagues who had not yet joined.

It was an uneventful story.

Did you manage to swim and reach the shore without losing consciousness but lost your bow along the way?

“I was late because I kept looking around to see if I might be carried away by the waves. “I met Mr. Einar by chance.”

Hmm for some reason there was no bow on the shoulder.

But thanks to you I was able to meet Einar and take care of her so was it a good thing?

“That happened. Don’t worry too much about your lost bow. “I’ll just have to use this for the time being.”

While saying that I took out a longbow from subspace and handed it to Erwen.

“uh? It’s a bow made from Bortal wood right? “Where on earth do I get this precious thing?”

Wow was this Bortal Wood a level 4 material?

For some reason it looks pretty from the start.

“I was lucky enough to pick it up.”

As I briefly explained how I obtained this item Erwen tilted his head.

However I wonder if the situation was soon understood.

“Hey but this person….”

She looked at the man in casual clothes who had stripped me of all his equipment and asked him about his identity.

“He’s from Noark.”

“Wow that’s right! I will use this with gratitude…!”

In response to my answer Erwen expressed her gratitude with a happy face.

I’m sure he’s nice.

“I’m glad to have met his colleagues. “I’m glad that my faith doesn’t seem to have been in vain.”

Anyway as we were chatting for a while the priestess joined in the conversation.

While she was leaving I also introduced him to her.

“Parts are priests who were part of the team. Her name is Ersina. She came this way and she happened to meet her and joined her.”

“This is Lairin Ersina.

“Oh yes….”

Erwen awkwardly responded to the priestess’s greeting and looked at me and asked.

“Uncle nothing special happened right?”

“Nothing special?”

“…no. “More than that why didn’t you just snap his wrist and kill him?”

Soon Erwen shook her head and looked at Nevarce and asked me a question. It seems strange that I spared the guy from Noark.

“I don’t know if it might be useful.”

“Well is that so? It doesn’t look that way… Well if that’s the case then that’s probably the case!”

I smiled awkwardly and ended this topic here.

Actually there was another reason for keeping him alive.

Amelia Lane Wales.

She killed this guy but he decided that it would be a pain for her if he got into an irreversible relationship with her.

‘It looks like their target was only Drouses.’

According to Nebarce there seems to be a problem on Amelia’s side as well.

Perhaps it would be possible for her to go further and form a temporary alliance.

The wave will start soon.

Considering the last wave it is better to have more people.

“Then let’s move.”

In any case she couldn’t stay here forever so she got ready and left.

The destination is the eastern coast where the first boss will appear.

I didn’t know that everyone would be able to join until the wave started.

Where on earth are you all doing?

I’m worried.

“I will clear the road so Einar you must keep an eye on this guy to make sure he doesn’t do anything foolish.”

Just in case Einar did not participate in the battle and had Nebarce watch over him.

And he sped up as much as he could.

but….

“The Ranemut warrior has been defeated. EXP +3」

“The conch horn has been defeated. EXP +3」

「Garbel has been defeated…」

「….」

The speed did not pick up because the monsters that came from the sea took over the entire island.

Well they are still level 7 mobs so it is possible to move around the island like this but…

‘We’ll all have to meet before the next wave.’

My impatience keeps rising.

From the next wave the level of monsters increases significantly.

So much so that even I find it difficult to endure on my own.

“…I guess everyone will be okay?”

Erwen muttered worriedly as the number of monsters was greater than expected.

Thinking that I might at least get cheated she answered quickly.

“Don’t think anything strange. “It’ll be okay.”

“But there are so many monsters….”

You think it would be difficult to survive alone?

“Didn’t I come this far after meeting Ersina?”

Perhaps Misha or Raven may also meet them somewhere on the island and join forces.

Well that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to worry about.

‘Nimiral.’

I recalled the conversation I had with Nebarce earlier.

Even if my colleagues were lucky enough to run into a member of Partran’s team it couldn’t necessarily be seen as a positive situation.

That’s right….

[How did they know they would come to this island and attack them?]

Nebarce answered my question like this:

[Among them there was a person who told us about the exploration plan. Only Rain Wales knows who that is.]

There are traitors among them.

***

Arua Raven checked her side of the bush and opened her eyes wide.

“It’s not the one I was looking for but…”

“······.”

“This won’t be bad either.”

Fortunately she was someone I knew.

“I see you again Miss Raven.”

“Mr. Partsran!”

She who was anxious let out a sigh of relief and quickly ran forward.

“What happened? Why is your body hurt like this? What about the person on his back? “Are you dead?”

In response to her question Parts Ran let out a bitter smile and put down the wizard she was carrying.

And she explained the situation.

“I just passed out so don’t worry too much.”

“I’m glad everything happened. So what happened?”

“…there was an attack by marauders.”

There was an attack and they managed to escape but the group was scattered because of the pursuers.

So I was wandering around looking for my colleagues.

After summarizing the situation briefly he cautiously opened his mouth.

“I’m so glad I met Miss Raven even though she’s not the colleague I was looking for. “If you don’t mind could you help us?”

“Do you want help?”

“One of my colleagues is in the center of the island. He stayed alone to give us a chance to escape. “I have to go rescue him quickly… but now that I think about it I can’t see that barbarian?”

Soon Parts Ran realized that Raven was not in a normal state either and tilted her head.

“Did something happen on either side of Raven? “What happened to Archer the prisoner who looks like he fell into the water?”

“As they were leaving the island a sudden storm came… and the ship ran aground and everyone was scattered.”

Afterwards when Raven talked about the promise to meet in the center of the island Parts Lan’s eyes lit up.

“In the center of the island? Well then that’s good. How about we move there together? “With all those crazy people roaming this island it would be much safer there.”

To put it simply it means forming a team at least temporarily.

Raven thought for a moment and then answered.

“Okay let’s do that.”

He had no reason to refuse.
