Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 357



Episode 357: Isolation (4)

Orculis the worst criminal organization.

The four people have quite a reputation among themselves.

Maybe that’s why I feel even more strange.

Because I could feel the change from before more clearly.

“What are we going to do Schuitz?”

What can I do?

In the battle in the Goblin Forest on the second floor there were only three people.

In order to deal with those three over a thousand explorers had to sacrifice their lives and fight.

but….

“We have to fight. At least until the magic is complete.”

It’s not as hopeless as it was back then.

No I find myself thinking that it would be worth it if I were a member now.

and….

“Is that so? i get it.”

Looking at Amelia’s reaction it seems I’m not the only one who thinks it’s worth a try.

Erwen doesn’t seem to have any desire to stand out in the first place.

“…Abed Nekrapetto.”

The moment the Corpse Collector appeared from afar life began to flow from Erwen’s body.

So she wanted to warn him but…

‘There’s no need for that.’

She’d rather do this than let her fears play out.

Moreover seeing as she doesn’t immediately run out or hit the first striker she doesn’t seem to have lost her temper.

“What are you doing? “The magic chant was interrupted.”

As I tell Raven who is frozen in a daze to continue chanting the teleportation magic she seems to remember my words that survival comes first…

Somehow… I feel proud.

“Ah… ah I understand.”

After saying something about my back Raven who had been unresponsive for a while came to her senses and began to carry on with her work.

It seems like they decided that it was not the time to resolve their suspicions about me.

‘Tsk you probably noticed it too right?’

I am worried about what variables this may lead to in the future but at the same time I also wonder what might happen.

Didn’t that body collector over there look at me and say something?

Mr. fake.

“Isn’t that fairy over there looking at you too closely? “Even for me it’s a burden.”

“….”

“Hmm I was more surprised than that! “I heard that you borrowed a lot of money from your family this time… I never thought you would use it to make such a fake!”

Even after seeing [Giantization] he couldn’t make the connection that I was Bjorn Yandel.

Well he’s probably convinced that I’m dead.

Since Erwen’s madness is so famous it would have made more sense to say that she faked it.

‘I hope Raven thinks the same way…’

Oh I don’t know. If you get caught you get caught.

Is it really possible that you will tell me that you can’t betray the royal family after sacrificing yourself this time to save my life?

I decided to end my concerns about this issue at this point.

It seemed like the other side had no intention of giving us more time.

“Oppa Necrapeto does that woman over there chanting appear to be multiple teleportations?”

The warlock on the other side noticed our insurance.

“Fishit then we should hurry up and get started. A dance of blood bones and screams—”

“Oh really can you stop talking like that now? “At some point I suddenly developed a strange habit so whenever I go on an expedition I always put my mask on…”

“Well… Vivian I see other people too so it’s a bit…”

“I’m telling you not to do it because everyone else is watching! Ugh really why does a person who is fine inside come outside…”

“…It’s a hobby. “Hobby life.”

There was a brief delay as the Screaming Witch hit him but it didn’t last long.

“You two should stop and go to work.”

The lighthouse keeper a large man covered in a robe interrupted their conversation and the air naturally became heavier.

After filling up the teleport gauge is it over?

“How long until I can use teleportation magic?”

“…It will take 10 minutes. “When the spell was canceled earlier the magical power was dispersed.”

“Then what other magic do you use while chanting?”

“It is possible. “It may be impossible to use high-level magic but if it’s just to help you when you need it.”

Okay it saved me an hour.

“For now focus on completing the magic but consider the situation and provide support.”

“Yes I understand… Or rather why are you in charge?”

Now it’s all over again.

“That’s an absurd question. “Does it matter now?”

I quickly blurted out the point and continued with the order.

“Erwen Emily. You two should focus on protecting yourself for now. “First of all the magic must be completed.”

“yes.”

Surprisingly Erwen agreed to what I said without a moment’s hesitation and Amelia asked me one question.

“…Wouldn’t it be better to give up magic and join forces to fight them?”

It’s definitely not wrong.

but….

“You never know when someone other than those four will come again right?”

The possibility of reinforcements cannot be ignored.

Also even if I am not a support team I am reluctant to watch the game here.

The odds of winning are good but it will be a tough fight.

There is a high possibility that one of us will get hurt or die in the process.

“…That too. i get it. “Do as you say.”

Perhaps because of the explanation Amelia didn’t say anything more. Well exactly should I say that we no longer have the luxury of doing so?

[Grrrrrr-!]

The battle began with the legions of corpses surrounding us rushing towards us all at once.

***

First of all the basic form is simple.

Corpses of corpses rush in from all directions and we block them with our defensive formation.

But the problem here is…

[Grrrrrr-!]

The corpses that used to explode with just one hit have become much more threatening.

“Lyranne Vivien casted level 5 black magic [Rage of the Dead].”

“Liranne Vivian has casted level 4 black magic [Dark Baptism].”

Warlock and Necromancer.

It’s a powerful combination that I once used as a favorite.

Because black magic has a lot of highly efficient buffs targeting undead.

Should I say that they have good synergy with each other?

“Liranne Vivien casted level 4 black magic [Lamp of the Underworld].”

Huh yes I am writing this as well.

Well this magic cannot be missing from this combination.

Huuuuung-!

The moment the black flame appears in the sky the corpses that have been smashed so far are regenerated and come back to life again.

And in those circumstances.

“Liranne Vivian has summoned [Erimian Queen of Pain].”

A vengeful spirit studded with thousands of thorns flies through the sky and screams.

It was the signature summon of a warlock named Lyrane Vivien who earned the nickname the Screaming Witch.

So it’s definitely effective…

“The character’s pain resistance value decreases by -200.”

Pain intensification.

and.

「When the person who heard the scream takes damage a certain amount of the summoner’s dark magic is restored.」

Magical power is the most important resource for wizards.

‘Well this is all we have to do as long as we don’t get hurt and are careful.’

Still it is not such a difficult summon now that we fight with a small number of elites.

but….

“Liranne Vivien casted level 3 black magic [Voodoo Doll].”

「The magic accuracy rate of curses targeting the character increases to 100% and the power increases significantly.」

After completing the basic preparations from buffing the corpse army to picking out signature summons the Screaming Witch began to use magic in earnest.

“[High-level corruption] continues.”

“The speed at which injuries recover is greatly reduced.”

“[Lethargy] continues.”

“The strength level decreases significantly.”

“[The invisible threat] continues.”

“Increased probability of not detecting enemy attacks…”

No why is he only putting a curse on me?

It reminds me of Elisa who used to be Karui’s priest and I feel like her PTSD is coming.

But what can you do?

I need to cheer up.

Even using evil instead of the name of the ancestor god.

“Aaaahhh!”

He shouts his spirit and swings his hammer.

Because there is only so much a warrior can do in a situation like this.

Kwasik-!

Allocate all actions solely to protecting her companions and leave ranged attacks to Erwen.

Fortunately Erwen’s output more than paid for her investment.

“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Element Synthesis].”

A check-and-run sniper that condenses great power into one shot.

“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [High-Speed ​​Fire].”

Rain pouring from the sky.

and….

“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia summons [Dicloe the Spirit King of Darkness].”

Even the Dark Spirit King who gave Erwen the nickname Blood Spirit.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!

The Spirit King was summoned for only about 5 seconds but half of the large army of corpses was destroyed in that short period of time.

Yes it is literally extinction.

Even if it was the [Lamp of the Underworld] it was impossible to revive corpses that had disappeared without a trace.

“Oh no! “How did I collect it…!”

Even corpse collectors praise the overwhelming violence.

However as a reward for summoning the Spirit King Erwen’s spirit power was depleted.

This means that you can still use various skills that use soul power as a resource but you will not be able to use spirits from now on.

“…I had a hard time.”

“no.”

Erwen’s secret weapon had disappeared but the situation was not bad.

This was because a large gap was created in the crowd of corpses that were flocking in giving them much more freedom.

Well unfortunately that leisure didn’t last long.

“That Schuitz guy is coming.”

“I’ll take care of that guy so you guys step back.”

Even after the battle began the Blood Knight who had been in the rear for a while returned to the battlefield after receiving healing from the lighthouse keeper.

‘They say he was a support magician and he also had healing skills.’

This is something I regret not being able to do.

It wasn’t long ago that Erwen got [ruptured] and his entire left arm was blown off. It’s been a few minutes so it’s already better?

Even if you use the highest quality potion on an injury like that the aftereffects remain and you can’t use it for a long time—

Suddenly!

huh?

“Ugh.”

This time he was aiming for the joints of my armor so I tried to counterattack with my body but my body froze.

Since my pain tolerance had dropped by 200 it was natural that even small wounds would cause great pain…

“Now you’re getting cut.”

The wound is much deeper than before.

However the bleeding is relatively small and there is a burnt smell.

If so what is the cause?

The reason was not difficult to find.

‘You’re not an Auror.’

The sword was still covered in red energy but it was different from the aura from before.

The heat is so hot that it travels through the air.

‘Ha have you been enchanting fire in the meantime?’

It is probably the lighthouse keeper’s contribution.

The aura was fine but the blood knight’s basic attack was changed to magic damage through the information that was harpooned by magic.

‘You smart bastard.’

Of course even if it was changed to fire damage the fixed values ​​of sword and ‘slash’ attacks did not change so it was not difficult to endure.

The battle difficulty just increased a little more.

‘This should be enough to hold on.’

As expected a power struggle continued after that.

It’s not that there weren’t some spine-chilling moments but when it comes to the results time passed without either team scoring anything of note.

and….

“It’s over!”

Raven finally completed the multi-teleportation spell.

It means that you can end this battle and run away if you want to.

Okay then the insurance subscription is finished.

“Don’t write just wait.”

“yes?”

What kind of ‘yes’ is ‘yes’?

I’ve been getting beaten up for a while but if it continues like this will I be able to sleep properly?

When you leave you have to take at least one person with you.

‘Then who should we use?’

Without much thought the first target was decided.

“Brothers! “Is their order complete?”

The warlock flies on a broomstick so pass.

“Vivian! Let’s do something! “If I let it go like this won’t I be the only one who loses a lot!!”

The Corpse Collector Cub has a high agility value and has invincibility so it will be difficult to catch it.

Whi-profit-!

The same goes for the Blood Knight swinging his sword at close range.

How can I catch this guy who escaped like a loach even when I attacked him 4:1?

Unless it’s a one-on-one meeting behind closed doors it’s difficult.

Therefore…

“…I’ll see you again someday.”

I grinned as I watched the Blood Knight speak as if it was already a foregone conclusion that we would run away.

Did someone even say that they were just leaving?

‘Yeah I’d like him too.’

The name of the lighthouse keeper is unknown.

The characteristic is that he is one of the few support type magicians in Noark.

and….

‘Trinkets are usually expensive.’

There was something about him wearing ten rings on his fingers.
