Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 377



Episode 377: Treasure Hunter (5)

As soon as I put the ring on I was momentarily taken aback by the flash of light.

After checking the color I tasted it.

‘It’s a yellow light….’

This color meant only one thing.

There is something around me right now that can have a positive or negative impact on my future.

“Is there anything around Erwen?”

As soon as he lowered his voice and spoke Erwen didn’t even question him but instead focused on hearing.

and….

“There’s one of those people from earlier.”

“Since when has it been there?”

“I don’t know. But… seeing what’s lurking in the dark makes me think it hasn’t just arrived. Breathing is also stable…”

Erwen who was speechless continued speaking.

“Oh we’re having a conversation now. I think they are using a message stone. “The number item has also been released. How long is left until it arrives?”

Somehow light came into the ring.

It seems like he even witnessed the capture of Laflammik…

“It looks like they left their scouts behind. Erwen just keep focusing on that side. “We will clean up the campground.”

“yes.”

After entrusting the guard to Erwen he quickly packed his bags and prepared to leave.

However they were one step faster than us.

“People have arrived.”

“What are the numbers?”

“Eighteen people in total. Ah now we are discussing what to do with us.”

“Yes that’s right… what are you going to do?”

“I don’t know. I must have used magic because the sound was blocked from the middle. sorry….”

“What is there to be sorry about? “Anyway you’ll find out soon enough.”

In fact as soon as those words were uttered artificial light burst out from where they were hiding illuminating the surroundings brightly.

“Hey buddy! What was your name? “I think I forgot to ask earlier.”

It’s a shame to forget and not ask.

To a subject who didn’t even say his own name.

“Well I don’t think we’re close enough to make it clear.”

“Haha you seem to be more shy than you look?”

The guy spoke with a smile but his eyes were cold. Also from earlier he was standing in a crooked position and had his hand on his waist.

Because that point is closest to the weapon on your waist.

“So what’s your business?”

“One of our members happened to see you catching Laflammik while on patrol.”

“It’s quite a coincidence.”

“Isn’t that what happens in the world? Anyway I’ll just get to the point. “Give me the loot you got this time.”

“Why should I do that?”

“As I said this area is our clan’s territory. “I think you agreed to it earlier.”

“agreement?”

I snorted as soon as I heard it but I actually understood their position.

They must have walked around this island every day and waited for La Flemimic to appear but the explorers who stopped by briefly ate only the grain.

But what should I do with this?

“You wanted us to leave early in the morning and that was all we agreed to right?”

In fact I don’t remember ever talking about loot.

“That’s sophistry.”

“It’s not sophistry it’s correctness.”

“….”

Soon the guy tightened his jaw and a cracking sound came out.

I felt like I knew roughly how he felt.

Of course you would have thought that such an agreement had been reached.

No I would never have thought that a monster would come out of our side overnight.

“There are unwritten rules in the labyrinth. “If you violate our rights no one will be able to blame us if we harm you.”

A very direct threat.

I stared at him as if asking if he was serious and he met my gaze without avoiding it.

“….”

“….”

An atmosphere where it would not be strange to take out a weapon from any side at any time.

Gulp.

As the silence grew longer the group behind him held their weapons tightly. As if they would immediately go on the offensive based on the answer that comes out of my mouth.

Of course I wasn’t the one who couldn’t say that.

“I don’t know about unwritten rules.”

I continued speaking firmly.

“Anyone who tries to take what is mine is a plunderer.”

“…You choose to shake hands.”

He shrugged his shoulders letting it flow out of one ear without even listening carefully.

“It’s something I’ve heard often. “Where do you think everyone is?”

“….”

“But now the situation is a little clearer.”

Soon I gave the final notice.

“What are you doing? “If you’re going to attack me I think it’s better to get out of the way.”

It was a completely different composition from his first meeting.

Earlier as soon as I told him I would be leaving early in the morning he looked down on us and made a fuss.

But what about now?

If you go out strong enough to seem extreme you won’t know what to do.

Well I guess it felt uncomfortable.

You will never understand why they are so confident when their numbers are five times smaller.

‘Among them there may be something about Erwen.’

I don’t think they recognized Erwen yet.

However it must have been reported to him that the fairy archer on our team killed Laflemimic with a single arrow.

You probably have an intuition that this is not something you want to do.

“….”

However it seemed difficult for him to make a decision perhaps because he was in front of his clan members.

thus….

“If you have a hard time choosing I’ll help you.”

“…?”

“I understand that means that if you are still in front of me after the count of three you will attack me.”

“…what?”

He looked like he had heard something absurd but his expression changed when I actually started counting.

“three.”

“…!”

“two.”

Instead of procrastinating I counted the numbers faster than the actual time.

And the moment when you are about to shout one last thing.

“…There’s no need to see meaningless blood.”

The guy raised the white flag.

***

“heartbreak! Why did you withdraw from there!”

Ecksher Mellick leader of the Huntsman Clan frowned at his subordinate’s shout. Then one of his confidants quickly stepped forward and spoke for him.

“I hunted Laflammik without a wizard. At least that fairy archer is a level 3 explorer. “If you see them walking around together the other two will be similar.”

“Even if all three of us are level 3 explorers we are far more numerous!”

“Remilton have you ever fought a level 3 explorer? “They are monsters.”

“But there was no wizard either! Still with our numbers we could have won!”

“Still more than half of us would have died. Do you think that one number item is worth that much?”

“that….”

The man who was the first to challenge the henchman’s logic trailed off.

And then the full-scale division began.

“But if this becomes known it will look ridiculous no matter where you go.”

“It hasn’t happened yet and even if it did I think the leader’s decision was right.”

“But who is that fairy? “To kill La Flemimic in one fell swoop…”

“If it’s a silver-haired woman… Isn’t she by any chance a blood spirit?”

“If that were really the case we could have been in big trouble.”

“Hyeolryeonghu? Did you all eat anything strange? Why is that crazy woman here? “She is crazy about war and would be cutting people up at this very moment.”

They rebut each other’s opinions and their sharp voices grow louder. And naturally factions are divided among those who have the same opinion.

It was then.

“heartbreak! “They are leaving the island by boat!”

A subordinate who was scouting reported and the members who were arguing and raising their voices all looked at one person.

A look filled with questions as to what to do now.

Ekshe Melik sighed so that no one could see.

‘Shit.’

Running a clan is like driving a ship.

Even when trials come such as typhoons waves and lightning the captain must show that he can overcome them.

Therefore…

“Everyone stop and pack your bags first.”

The man made a decision.

“Captain what you said…”

“I’m going to chase them.”

As a result the expressions of the members of the radical faction brightened.

On the other hand those who were demanding a moderate response expressed concerns.

“But their power is formidable.”

Three explorers estimated to be of average level 3.

But she wasn’t too worried about the man.

“I know your concerns. However it might not be possible on land. “There is no way we would lose in a naval battle.”

“I guess that’s why you let me go so obediently!”

Those belonging to the radical faction were impressed by the man’s heart and the opposing camp also seemed to agree to some extent.

That’s how confident they were in naval battles.

But was there still such a question?

“Still… is it really worth that much for one number item?”

Ecksher Mellick smiled and answered one member’s cautious question.

“It’s definitely not profitable to have just one number item.”

“You mean—.”

“But isn’t that all they have?”

Huntsman Clan.

Although they are now stuck on an island like this and looking for treasure they were once pirates roaming the 6th floor of the ocean.

Hunting people and making money.

***

Early dawn as the day gradually dawns.

Ssaaaaaa-!

The cool wind blows against the sails and pushes the boat forward.

Behind a cluster of stars shine in the dusky sky and to the east where the bow is located the presence of the sun hidden behind the horizon can be vaguely felt.

It was a scene with some charm.

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to enjoy it.

“Your boat is following you. There are three ships in total and there are no emblems or anything like that.”

As soon as we left the island we were chased.

It was obvious who it would be.

‘I didn’t intend to just let you go from the beginning.’

For some reason the situation ended so vainly that a yellow light came on.

Perhaps the reason they just sent it was aimed at this.

Those who carry three ships must be quite skilled in naval combat.

They must have judged that they could fight at a much greater advantage at sea.

Of course one question remained.

‘But why is it yellow instead of red?’

If you’re going to be attacked anyway shouldn’t it just be red?

What is positive in this situation?

Those worries were cut off when Amelia spoke to her.

“What are you going to do Schuitz?”

“It must be hard to get rid of him right?”

“maybe.”

The distance between ships is narrowing even though they have activated their horsepower propulsion devices which may have given them special mobility.

So now we have only one choice.

“Emily it’s a waste so stop adding magic stones.”

“Are you going to fight?”

“Is there any other way?”

Amelia gave no answer to my question.

She just lets go of her helm and folds the sails.

She soon helped Amelia fold her sails and the speed of the boat which was riding the wind significantly decreased.

and….

Wow!

Three ships approaching quickly through the current began to come into my sight. The most noticeable thing among them was the boat in the middle.

“….”

A weight class that could be three times our size.

It is equipped with magic cannons on the sides and front and has as many as three sails.

Besides where is that?

The bow is even equipped with an icebreaking device.

At this level it may not be the level of a royal warship but I think it will be at least 2 levels below….

“If those Schuitz fire their guns our ship will sink in no time.”

Amelia expressed her concern at the overwhelming majesty.

I wasn’t worried that I wouldn’t understand.

It is certain that if a naval battle begins such a ship will be destroyed in no time.

but….

Chureup.

I licked my lips and checked the traffic light ring.

The yellow light that appeared earlier had long since faded away.

But I felt like I knew something now.

Why did the yellow light come on instead of red?

“The ship… looks really big and sturdy.”

Monsters aren’t the only ones spitting out treasure in the labyrinth.
