Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 322



Episode 322: Role (2)

“Sister you have to go back quickly…!”

“Didn’t you see it? She’s a woman who uses Aurors. “The man named Lüchenpraha is an even bigger monster than that.”

“but…!”

“Looking back there is nothing we can change. “This is a reasonable choice.”

Amelia gritted her teeth as Laura grabbed her arm and ran towards her as if dragging her.

For some reason I felt like crying.

“A reasonable choice…? it’s crazy? “How can it be a rational choice for me to live after my sister dies!!”

As Amelia shook off her arm with all her might Laura who was ahead also stopped running.

Laura let out her sigh.

“Amelia listen to your sister today. “There’s no time to be like this—”

“What is that! “Don’t say it like it’s the last time…!”

“…It’s not like that.”

“Or what why are you just running away without even thinking about going back and doing something?!”

“Because the one who does this has a higher chance of survival!”

Laura shouted angrily at her sister who did not listen to her and continued her words in rapid fire.

“Emily she didn’t kill Felix Barker. She used numbing needles. She even stopped by as if she had some business to do. She doesn’t plan on killing her right now. “Actually I’m still alive and well.”

“ah….”

Amelia let out an exclamation without realizing it.

Even in the midst of her sister’s stress she thought about all of these things and made a decision.

“I’m anxious but this is still the best. “It’s better for her to do this than to attack her for no reason and get killed.”

“….”

“Now then if you understand please follow me.”

Laura resumed her movement as if this was a waste of time and Amelia hurriedly followed suit.

How long has it been like that?

Sister Lane Wales encountered some familiar faces.

“uh? Laura Amelia? “Are you alive?”

“…Mr. Durbon.”

The clan members ran away leaving Felix Barker behind.

In the meantime only half of the people were there perhaps because something had happened or they had dispersed.

“Hey welcome. You guys are lucky. “We were just trying to escape this city on our own.”

“yes…? “Escape?”

“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? Lüchenprague What does it mean that that person came out of the East? That means everything is sorted out and we’re going to the castle right? “This city is already finished.”

As soon as The LeBon’s explanation was over the two men next to her added their approval to her as if they were getting chills.

“The traitor is not a person. Have you seen his expression not change while slaughtering dozens of people? “I still get goosebumps when I think about what I saw earlier.”

“They say if a traitor sticks out his tongue he’s really angry.”

“If this city falls into his hands our heads attached to Seongju will be cut off.”

It was a sudden suggestion but Laura calmly asked for the information she needed to confirm.

“But how do you plan to escape? At the front door—”

“Yes the gatekeeper is guarding it. But it looks like there is a hidden side road. “I heard that the upper part of the melta is used to go back and forth to the ground. Does he know about it?”

“…okay.”

“Would you like to go too?”

Laura accepted the offer without looking further.

“I will go.”

“Huh sister?”

Originally the plan was to go to the relatively safe West and hide out until the situation was over.

But this is a different story.

Because if he dies his younger brother will have to be left alone in this world. Because I wanted at least my younger brother to live a humane life.

Maybe this might be the last chance.

“Oh and I’ll tell you in advance instead of taking you with me—”

“I know. “If something dangerous happens I will step in.”

“Hmm yes… we can communicate well as expected.”

The man nodded his head as if he was embarrassed and then started moving with the group.

* * *

Shiny silver hair.

White skin.

Knight’s armor with the royal family symbol and a long sword about 1.5 times larger than the normal size.

Although I had never met him he was a person I knew well.

‘Jerome St. Red.’

The leader of the 1st Royal Knights and the strongest member of the royal family with the nickname ‘Knight of Light’.

The question is why is this bastard here now?

He never came up in the story Amelia told…

“Give me the fragment stone of the record.”

Still thanks to this one word the situation was outlined.

Why is the Knight of Light who should be clearing out the East by now here?

The answer to the reason was very clear.

The royal family’s goal was not to exterminate Orculis.

‘If we fight… it’ll be hard to win.’

He is of a different class from Rick Omanus whom he faced on the stairs earlier. Of course he must have reached level 5 which is the maximum level that can be raised with the ‘elixir’ that knights drink…

By the time you become a leader you will have completed not only the level 6 breakthrough event but also the level 7 awakening.

Even this is not the end.

‘Considering the royal family’s wealth it would be assumed that all seven essences are at least level 3.’

It falls behind in the number of integers and average rating.

Not to mention the stat difference due to this the roles are also at a disadvantage between tank and knight.

But if you can find a corner to rub…

Whoa!

It must be equipment.

Double number items have a low-level indestructible option by default.

Kwaang-!

Without saying a word he caught the swung sword with a hammer.

This is my first time fighting like this.

The basic strategy was to always block with a shield first and then hit with a weapon.

“…?”

The guy frowned as he looked at me taking the blow.

As a knight who can cut down anything he doesn’t seem to have expected that his sword would get blocked midway…

“for a moment.”

I took advantage of the moment that arose after the blow and tried to talk.

I don’t think it will work but there’s no harm in trying right?

“Isn’t there some misunderstanding? A fragment of a record? “I don’t know anything like that.”

“You’re using your tongue. “I heard testimony that you came up from the underground and headed here.”

Hmm that’s right….

The strategy of looking at the wrong person didn’t work either.

However useful information came from an unexpected place.

“But… I might have taken it without knowing what it was. “Fragment Stone of Records… Give me the necklace the lord was wearing.”

A tone of voice that seems to have something to dig into.

“If the lord was wearing it do you mean this necklace?”

Just in case I pointed to the necklace I was wearing and asked and he nodded.

“Okay if you hand over that item I promise there won’t be any unnecessary bloodshed.”

It was a big catch.

That’s because the fragment stone of the record was embedded in subspace a long time ago.

‘You don’t know what the fragment stone of this record is.’

What I’m wearing right now is an ordinary necklace.

The entire effect is to reduce the casting time when wizards wear it by embedding a large refining stone.

For your information I secretly embezzled something during a raid in the past and have been wearing it like an accessory…

‘This is how I write it.’

Are you saying that humans are animals that can communicate?

As expected it was good to talk to him.

Ttuduk.

First I pulled the necklace with force and broke it.

“If you want something there’s nothing I can’t give you. “I brought it with me anyway thinking of it as a souvenir.”

“souvenir?”

“Isn’t your name Seongju? “He told us to go out and fight but he went to hide in the basement so I followed him and found that he had nothing to take with him except this necklace.”

“Hmm maybe it was simply about money?”

He listened to me and muttered as if he understood.

Apparently he went to look for Seongju and saw Rick Omanus who had stripped her of all her equipment.

“Isn’t it obvious that this is the purpose of guys like us? Of course seeing as someone like you wants it this necklace seems to be quite valuable but no matter how you look at it it’s not worth risking your life on.”

Most people who talk long have clever tricks.

However this young knight who seemed to only eat rice and swing a sword did not strike me as suspicious.

Just look at them with disdain.

“I’ve explained it so just give it to me.”

“Oh but I need coverage before that.”

“guarantee?”

“Give me this and I guarantee you’ll let me go.”

“I break my promise—”

What do you mean this is a knight who knows the honor of losing?

If I really didn’t know how to lie I wouldn’t be here in the first place. Seongju didn’t know that he had been deceived by the royal family until the moment he fell.

thus….

‘jump.’

Break the window on the wall and jump high.

As I jumped up from the 4th floor my body rose and I had a clear view of the city with Yeongju Castle at the center.

The eastern part where the battle took place was burning brightly while the western part was relatively calm.

However there was no time to leisurely look at this.

Pot-!

A light flashed behind him and he appeared.

It was a skill that could be recognized just by looking at the effect.

[Gateway of Light]

It is a level 3 essence and is actually the highest tier among mobile devices.

A morale skill that specifies a location not a half-baked teleportation that triggers to a random location.

It’s been a while.

Before raising a barbarian I often ate this too.

“Did you think you could run away?”

As soon as I turned my waist in the air the guy swung his sword and this time I blocked it with the hammer.

It’s so urgent.

I didn’t say I wouldn’t keep my promise.

‘Anyway this is my first time in a dogfight.’

The recoil from blocking the sword pushes the body back in the air once more.

As a result the distance between the guy and the guy widens.

Pot-!

The moment he closed the distance with [Gateway of Light] again I threw away the necklace I was holding with all my might.

“…!”

He quickly stretched out his hand but the distance wasn’t long enough to grab his necklace.

For a moment I could see concern in his gaze.

He was contemplating whether to kill me here or not.

Thanks to you I realized one thing.

‘It’s a shame not to break a promise.’

From the beginning he planned to kill me as soon as I gave him the necklace.

It must have been because they wanted to eliminate witnesses or something like that.

Well it didn’t seem like he had any intention of continuing his stubbornness even in this situation.

puck-!

I kicked the guy in the stomach who was distracted by his necklace.

The guy didn’t even moan.

However there was nothing to regret.

Because that wasn’t the purpose in the first place.

Huh!

The distance widens again according to the laws of physics.

Even as he was falling down he looked at me and asked.

“…What’s your name?”

A voice that conveys the emotion of meeting someone who is purely curious.

As I listened to this I thought.

Why am I telling you that?

“Are you an asshole?”

Ah I said it.

“…what?”

For a moment I thought it was a mistake but he didn’t take the [Gateway of Light] towards me again.

That’s because there is a maximum number of times it can be used at one time.

From the 3rd time you have to wait for the cooldown.

Pot-!

Soon his body was wrapped in light and disappeared from sight. Without even looking far I saw him appear in the direction I threw the necklace.

‘Okay first of all I got rid of this bastard…’

Next when I used ‘Transcendent Leap’ I felt like I had an invisible platform at my toes and when I kicked it with all my might my body shot out in a straight line like an arrow.

A destination that is getting closer at a rapid pace.

‘Doing this makes me feel like Superman.’

I chuckled and replayed the brief dogfight that had just occurred.

The more I thought about it one by one the more strange I felt.

‘It’s not some kind of dragon ball.’

I need to get stronger quickly or something.

* * *

A cemetery located on the outskirts of Noark Castle.

Kwaang-!

I fell into the center and performed a fall technique as soon as I landed.

So to put it simply…

“Wow!”

This means that all the monuments were smashed and rolled around for a long time.

“…Oh I almost fell.”

It went directly from Yeongju Castle located in the middle of the city to the outskirts in one go but the price was clear.

Is it because I accelerated from a high place and hit it hard?

Beyond the numbness in his legs a feeling of electricity rising through his bones blooms.

Considering the pain tolerance it was actually a cramp.

‘…Still I don’t need to use the potion.’

-40 natural regeneration penalty on Ogre Essence.

In the past because of this my wounds barely healed if I didn’t take potions…

The total amount of natural regeneration obtained from the Essence of Storm Gush and the Immortal Imprint that I consumed this time far exceeded the penalty and minor injuries can now be quickly healed with just acupuncture.

Sigh.

After a short rest I stood up.

I looked around and soon found the place I was looking for.

Well I visited there before.

A passage high and wide for a single carriage to pass through with a huge tombstone hidden beneath the tombstone.

The first thing I noticed was a corpse.

‘It’s the cemetery manager.’

He who resided here under the name of a manager and served as a guard for the secret passage was dead with a body full of knife marks.

‘I slept for six hours so Laura’s side would have passed a long time ago…. If Amelia had been around this time she would have joined them.’

I felt like I could get there before the incident was over if I followed along quickly so I walked into the passage at a faster pace.

No to be exact it was the car I was about to enter.

‘…huh?’

I stopped walking.

plod trudge.

I saw an old man in smart clothes walking across the aisle.

Excited.

As soon as I made eye contact with the old man my heart started pounding.

At the same time it felt like I was dreaming.

The old man looked at me and said hello.

“Huh nice to meet you.”

It was Auril Gavis.
