Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 407



Episode 407: Dilemma (4)

The online game I enjoyed playing before [Dungeon & Stone] had PVP as its main content.

A game where you choose one of two factions when creating a character grow up on a different continent and compete for power.

I remember that the taste of leading an expeditionary force into the enemy camp and stealing the field boss was excellent.

PK is also exciting.

The field boss also gets the last hit and eats it sweetly.

And you can hear all kinds of rave reviews from users on the enemy camp?

‘It was a pretty fun game.’

If I hadn’t come across [Dungeon & Stone] I might still be playing that game.

Of all the things I did that was the best.

‘…But if you had continued that wouldn’t you have been dragged here?’

Anyway it’s such a belated regret.

The reason why this game I had almost forgotten suddenly came to mind is simple.

In a way it has a lot in common with the current situation.

Currently the Dark Continent is occupied by the Noark faction.

It’s as if our expedition team has secretly set foot there.

And above all else….

‘The method used there works well.’

I can feel the taste I felt while playing that game.

“…It’s a surprise attack!”

“How on earth could the enemies be here…!”

“front! “Take care of the demon beast in front first!!”

“Aaaahhh!”

The panicked enemies don’t know what to do.

“profit! dastardly…!”

“Why are you aiming for this time?”

“I’ll definitely take you guys with me!”

Overflowing praise.

“The Bone Dragonian has been defeated. EXP +7」

Plus killing level 3 monsters is as easy as eating it up like a cake.

Of course there was a separate Hwaryong climax.

“That’s Jeongsu!!”

Wow did you get a gift for doing something nice?

Not only was the surprise attack successful and a successful PK without a single injured person but the monster they caught as a bonus even dropped essence.

The second grade 3 essence acquired during this expedition.

“Ash you go and fill the essence first.”

“yes.”

They quickly cleared the battlefield while sending a wizard to put the essence in a test tube.

So the loot isn’t just essence?

As always PK’s main dish is separate.

“Whoa whoa…please save me…”

“You know I can’t save you.”

What is this guy talking to a corpse?

“Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way.”

After taking out the hammer I pressed the happy button of the guys who were still holding on to the rope.

Kwasik Kwasik Kwasik-!

A body that becomes limp with its flesh crushed.

After personally confirming the kill I had the crew take off the equipment and store it all in the expedition team’s common sub-space.

“If you think about the equipment they have in subspace it must be no joke.”

“When I go back I’ll make sure everyone gets their share.”

The crew seemed to have guessed the size just by looking at it from the corner of their eyes and their enthusiasm burned.

It is a natural thing to do.

Grade 3 essence is valuable enough but it is nothing compared to the equipment of the 15 people who were active on the 7th floor.

Above all there was little effort put into the battle.

“The loot collection is finished.”

“Who are the injured?”

“0 people.”

“Yes that’s right.”

I couldn’t hide my satisfaction and raised the corners of my mouth.

The battle was completed neatly within 5 minutes without a single person being injured.

“…Do you plan to continue fighting like this in the future?”

“Is there a problem?”

“no. “That’s not true….”

Akuraba who was asking something kept his mouth shut.

I know this because I experienced it myself.

That this is the best way to surprise those who are unguarded and hunting in their own camp.

Well that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its drawbacks.

’30 minutes….’

The battle was over in 5 minutes but the time it took for them to encounter the monster was considerable.

Of course compared to the advantages the disadvantages are not worth worrying about.

If someone gets hurt or dies during a fight it’s a bigger loss right?

However I wonder if there still remains some regret.

Kaislan carefully gave me advice.

“It was too hasty to kill them all. “We should have captured one person and obtained information from him.”

Oh that’s true too.

“We will do that from the next surprise attack.”

Kaislan’s complexion brightened as if he had listened to his advice.

“Wizards burn the body and erase the traces!”

After finishing cleaning up the surroundings we hid in the darkness again and resumed our movement.

But maybe it was because the surroundings were so quiet?

A conversation between some crew members reached my ears and I burst out laughing.

“Did you see it earlier? “That equipment?”

“If we only have to fight ten battles like this… how much will that alone cost?”

Well I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

***

Our routine after arriving on the Dark Continent was like this.

plod trudge.

Move while hiding in the dark.

“The enemy.”

When you spot an enemy wait for an opportunity to fight the monster.

and….

“Now!”

Take advantage of the time they were distracted by the monster and attack with all your might.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!

Hehehe!

Kuung-!

It’s even easier after pouring all your long-distance firepower at once and blowing away the entire back row.

“Let’s go!”

“Wipe it all away!”

Even if the troops came in and tried hard the front line could not even easily come to support because of the monsters in front.

The battle ended quickly this time too.

‘Is this just the 10th time?’

I kept repeating this as I moved and the number of times reached double digits while I was escaping the dragon’s mind.

“wizard! Put up a soundproofing curtain first so you can’t hear the sound!”

“hey! Take it off gently! “It keeps coming out with flesh attached to it!”

Once the battle was over the crew began collecting loot and erasing traces.

As I was watching a member of the group grabbed the survivor by the hair and brought it in front of me.

“colon! “Let the one I mentioned come here!”

“Good job.”

“Nothing to say.”

From the second battle I always keep one person alive and then dig up information.

Well you probably don’t know.

A labyrinth is a place where it is not strange no matter what variables arise at any time.

You should not neglect collecting information on a daily basis.

It’s not like I’m the one doing the interrogation in the first place.

“June.”

“Please leave it to me.”

If you just leave it to our expedition team’s official information extraction standard for a while the information will come out and be organized on its own.

For example the guys hunting on the 8th floor were Noark’s elite.

That’s why the main base is empty.

All that useful information came out like this.

However the problem is that there is no one who knows more than this these days so there is no update of new information…

“Shuitz please come here for a moment. “This is an urgent matter.”

It’s been a while since Jun called me during the interrogation.

I wanted to know something so I quickly went there and found that the tightly tied survivor was still alive.

This means that meaningful information was generated during this interrogation.

“Go ahead and say it. “What did you find out?”

“It’s a bit ambiguous to say I figured it out.”

“It’s ambiguous…?”

When he tilted his head and asked Jun shifted his gaze to one place. He followed his gaze and saw a stone that was glowing and vibrating slightly.

An item that an explorer cannot avoid without knowing.

“Message stone…?”

“This is an item that was in the owner’s possession.”

“That means….”

“Yes someone contacted him. “What are you going to do?”

At the same time as Jun asked the message stone vibrated slightly once more.

Jiiiiiiing-

How many more times will this vibration sound?

I don’t know.

That’s why you have to make decisions even faster.

Sigh.

He slightly raised his hand and made a gesture asking for time then gathered his thoughts.

‘Is it nearby or is it a communication from far away?’

Although it varies depending on the quality the radius of the message stone is limited.

However this is Noark’s territory.

There is a possibility that this communication came from very far away.

That’s why the royal family created an expeditionary force to attack the main base in the first place.

Magic wave emitter.

To put it in modern times it is an object that plays a similar role as a transmission tower.

The guys who used the cheat key to enter directly on the 7th floor made a super move by bringing in a huge device that would have been too big to fit into subspace.

Thanks to this they were able to freely communicate with troops scattered throughout the continent and actively harass the royal army.

Jiiiiiiing-

The sound of a vibration that dries a person’s blood rings out once more.

I finished thinking about it and checked a few things.

“Where do you think this communication came from?”

“…Oh it’s probably a regular contact. Checking the status of each troop!”

Hmm that’s right.

“What are the chances that this guy will fuck us up?”

“I think it’s very unlikely.”

This means that you are very confident in a situation where it is difficult to express your confidence in words.

“…Ha you can! I’ll do whatever you tell me! So please kill me…!”

I finished my judgment while listening to the voice of a man who longed for death more than life.

Yeah I think it’s trustworthy at this level.

“Okay get the call. “If you ask me if there’s anything wrong I’ll say there’s nothing wrong.”

As I said that I grabbed the vibrating message stone and thrust it into his face.

and….

Click.

The moment you press the button and receive a call.

A man’s voice came from beyond the glowing stone.

[I finally got in touch with you.]

A mid-bass sound that sticks in your ear somewhere.

As soon as I heard this my heart started beating violently.

My heart is pounding—

It was an unforgettable voice.

“Are you Mr. Li Regal Vagos…?”

Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.

Crackling.

Yes you are also somewhere on the 7th floor.

***

I came into this world and met many enemies.

Most of them smashed their heads but unfortunately there are some who couldn’t due to lack of strength.

Riakis Lord of Chaos.

Abed Necrapetto Corpse Collector.

Annihilator Velvev Ruingenes etc.

There are so many things that come to mind right now but the one I have the deepest resentment of is definitely this guy.

Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.

The moment I hear that voice my reason becomes paralyzed and my blood boils.

but….

Wow.

Now might not be the time.

I cooled my emotions by injecting more strength into my clenched fists.

and….

[Meiras where are you now?]

I focused on the conversation that followed.

“I’m hunting with my teammates in the depths of the dragon!”

[…okay? Then do you know anything?]

“What you’re saying is that you know….”

[The people who went to the dragon’s heart cannot be contacted.]

“Is that so? I’m not sure. We are doing well without any problems. “Really!”

Excessive tone of voice as if begging for doubt.

I was thinking of going as far as stuttering but isn’t this crossing a line?

That’s what I was thinking.

Seueuugh-

Jun quietly picked up an awl lying next to him and his speech and posture immediately corrected.

“But it seems strange. I can’t hear everyone. “Have you ever been attacked by monsters?”

The pronunciation is clear as if he had been stuttering for some time.

[No matter how pathetic they are there is no way they all would have suffered.]

“…That’s right. But is there anything going on there?”

Furthermore he showed his enthusiasm in asking for information.

[Not yet.]

“Thank goodness. “Don’t worry I’ll go back and check what happened.”

[Like you?]

“….”

[Don’t fool around and wait. We already sent troops there. Join and follow what they say.]

“Yes I understand.”

[Tsk useless bastards.]

Soon the guy clicked his tongue and unilaterally cut off contact and Jun cautiously opened his mouth.

“It’s a shame. “It would have been nice if we could have found out how many troops were sent this way.”

“Yeah right….”

“…Are you uncomfortable? “My complexion is not good.”

“Never mind. “Because it’s no big deal.”

It’s just a little difficult to hold back the anger.

While I was listening to that voice what happened that day came back to my mind clearly—

“Oh no.”

At that time I heard a shout from behind me.

Hwiik.

He quickly turned his head and saw Erwen standing there.

Tuk.

It looked like he was holding something with both hands but what he should have been holding in his hands had fallen to the floor.

Normally if it was a mistake I would bend down and pick up the item again but Erwen just stopped and stared at me.

“Erwen? “What’s going on here?”

As soon as I got closer feeling suspicious I noticed Erwen’s strange behavior.

“Wait a minute you’re shaking…”

“That certain voice….”

“Try to calm down. “Are you okay?”

“just now! Bah bah that guy just… That’s him right…?”

For some reason I still don’t know the reason.

“This dragon slayer Regal Vagos….”

Erwen was terrified.
