Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 412



Episode 412: Bad Relationship (2)

Enemies coming from all directions.

And the expedition team blocks this with a defensive formation.

“Kill me…!!”

“Stop it!!”

It’s like playing a defense game.

Well it’s definitely different from a game.

Usually in defense games enemies that only have close combat skills flock in droves.

But what about now?

Whiyuuuuuk-!

Rain of arrows pouring down.

“Rebible Essender!”

Black magic.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

And various essence skills consisting of lightning cold flame etc.

Usually such long-distance interceptions are blocked by wizards.

However our wizards are currently using all of their remaining magical energy to complete the scalpel teleportation spell.

In the end there is only one way.

In order to prevent this long-distance interception from reaching the glass bodies behind.

“The character was hit by [Permeating Chill].”

There is no choice but to just endure.

“The next cold damage you take will be doubled and your cold resistance will temporarily decrease depending on the amount of damage you take.”

「Lightning damage that exceeds anti-magic power and lightning resistance.」

“The character falls into a ‘paralyzed (medium)’ state.”

“The character is hit by [Piercing Light]…”

「….」

A burden that builds up quickly on the body.

However despite this he used his gigantic body as a shield to build a wall in front of him.

Crackling.

I clenched my teeth to see if I could chew my tongue.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

Use your body to counter attacks coming from the front.

Not just me but all vanguards are doing this.

“Benjamin Orman casted [Purification Moon].”

“All status abnormalities on the character will be removed.”

“Niaro Campal cast [Blessing of Light].”

“All healing effects received by the character increase….”

「….」

Although support from the priests continues it is not sufficient. They simply acquired the right to use God’s power in exchange for their faith.

Because reviving the dead is God’s domain.

“…Might!!”

There is no scream in our death.

“Everyone everyone step back!!”

The 2nd team warrior Might Million was located to the left of me.

Phew-!!

The sharp rock spear that flew in a straight line pierced his shield and pierced his heart… no his upper body.

“no…!!!”

A perfect death where you don’t even need to memorize the countdown.

As if to prove his death the sacred lights that had been protecting his body quickly dispersed around him.

That’s a very damn reason.

Ssaaaaaa-

Because dead people cannot be the target of skills.

“Mar mite…!”

An archer who was on the same team as the dead warrior runs forward and tries to pull out the rock spear stuck in his body.

It is both reckless and foolish.

There’s no way you can fall like that and even if you fall you won’t come back alive.

‘…Was he a friend?’

Well I guess that’s not the point.

“Emily come back for a moment.”

“…what?”

Soon after I unilaterally gave notice and moved slightly to the side to grab the archer’s back.

and….

“Don’t do anything foolish and stay behind.”

I threw the archer toward the rear where Akuraba was.

dump-!

An angry shout was heard from behind along with the sound of collapsing.

“…What are you doing! Marmite…!”

“Might is dead. “To save you.”

“…!!”

Might Million.

He clearly saw the flying rock spear.

He could have avoided it.

No if it had been for his physical condition he would have definitely been able to avoid it.

But he chose to stop.

[Everyone everyone step back!!]

Protecting your colleagues.

Because that was his role.

Of course he probably didn’t know it would turn out like this.

For once he may have thought he could hold out.

In such a crowded battle situation it would have been difficult to recognize him just by looking at him once. That rock spear is a skill that ranks among the top tier 2 essences.

‘…Maybe I blocked it even though I knew about it.’

Even so the truth cannot be known.

Probably forever.

“So stay behind. From now on I will take charge of this place.”

“….”

“Emily! Join Team 2!”

Since Team 2’s only warrior died I will fill the void.

It’s like I’m in charge of the space that should have been occupied by two teams but…

Rather than feeling annoyed I feel relieved.

‘I’m glad my body is big.’

While she was pushing me away I thought about using [Transcendence] to increase the size of my body but I stopped.

You can’t just be beaten forever right?

“The character casted [Attend Risk].”

“The amount of damage received and the reflected damage from [Stochastic Retaliation] are doubled.”

After testing it out it seemed like I could survive even if I received twice as much damage.

“The abilities inherent in the skill are unlocked by the power of the Transcendence.”

“The damage immunity effect from [Stochastic Retaliation] disappears but the activation probability is fixed at 100%.”

As soon as I activate [Transcendence] skeletons stand up behind me making a clattering sound.

and….

[Geuaachaaaat-!]

It gives back to me the various skills that I have inflicted on my body.

“What the hell!”

“Gacha Bon! “It’s the essence of gachabon!”

“what? But that skill wouldn’t have just exploded like this…!”

Confusion blooms as the attack launched by our troops is counterattacked.

‘Should I have turned it on sooner?’

After all the best defense is attack?

In fact I was prepared to be hit more painfully and turned on [Risk] and the attack decreased.

Thanks to this it was easy to fill the empty space by myself.

Okay now all you have to do is complete the teleport…

“…Get out of the way scum!”

At that time a man appeared leading a group of enemy soldiers who had not been able to approach.

Even looking at it again it’s a disgusting sight that makes me gag.

“It’s Regal Vagos!”

“Dragon slayer…!”

The guy came.

***

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

A bursting explosion.

Urgent cries from colleagues.

Screams and splattering blood.

There is silence in the battlefield where all kinds of noise was making noise.

The surroundings were still noisy but at least I felt that way.

It’s probably the same for that guy too.

“….”

“….”

The composition of them staring at each other without saying a word while maintaining a distance.

‘Could it be that you recognize me?’

When that thought suddenly occurred to him he opened his mouth.

“I said it then.”

“….”

“Not even death can save you.”

Yes you figured it out.

I guess I somehow managed to get my memories back safely.

He doesn’t seem to mind the fact that he has become shorter perhaps because he was caught gachaboning Jeongsu.

Okay then shall we say hello after a long time?

“It’s an expensive-looking sword.”

I looked down and stared at the sword strapped to his waist.

“Are you here to give it to me again?”

The reaction was immediate.

“this guy…!”

Fingertips trembling.

But what should I do with this?

There will still be more things to be angry about.

“How long until the magic is complete?”

“…1 minute!”

The answer everyone heard because voice control was disabled.

“That’s true but what can I do—”

“One minute is enough.”

At that moment the guy jumped out of his seat and ran towards me.

“Regal Vagos casted [Advanced Haste].”

“Regal Vagos casted [Afterimage].”

A combination of his skills that temporarily increased his agility.

However it is different from before.

Because we met in the maze of Larkaz back then.

‘It’s much faster.’

Originally this would have been the output based on this stat.

But there was no problem.

Kwaang-!

Because I’m not the same person I used to be.

“…!”

The sword and shield collide and the guy’s eyes narrow.

It’s obvious what he was thinking.

“Why did it feel like there was going to be a hole like that? “Isn’t this the maze?”

The guy didn’t answer and swung his sword once more.

“Regal Vagos casted [Sacred Blade].”

White light shimmering across the sword surface.

But it was the same this time too.

Kuung-!

It’s easy to become an Auror now so does that make any difference?

“How come you’re still the same?”

This is very fortunate.

I was thinking of doing some exploration to see if I had gotten stronger in the past two years.

“this guy…!”

After blocking the sword strike he swung for a long time I pushed the shield away and pushed the guy away like a fly.

Well my strength level is also high now.

Overwhelmingly too.

“…Tsk!”

The dragon slayer fell backwards in confusion perhaps because of unexpected resistance.

Then someone shouted from behind.

“You have 10 seconds left!”

It means that the magic will be completed soon.

“I’ve found out everything there is to know so get out of here.”

“….”

“You are weaker than me now.”

Hearing this from me must have been quite a shock so he didn’t reply at all.

I thought I was going crazy but that wasn’t the case.

He swung the hammer down just in case but he quickly dodged it again.

Kwaang-!

I whetted my appetite by looking at the hammer stuck in the ground.

If it weren’t for the ever-increasing number of enemy forces we could have ended the bad relationship here.

“Shuitz! “Come here quickly!”

At the same time that Amelia’s voice was heard from behind a magic circle began to emit light from the floor.

Before you know it the teleportation magic has been completed.

The warriors on the front lines including me quickly moved to the center.

“Do you think they will let me go…!”

What are you going to do if you don’t send it to me?

What’s really disappointing is this.

“Neinooooom!!”

“Vagos! If you stay there you might get caught in a multi-teleportation spell!”

The guy who was excited and was about to rush at me stopped after hearing his subordinate’s advice.

Well if you had come a little longer I would have taken him on a teleporter and then put Daguri away.

Ssssssssssssss-!

The last time I arrived the magic circle was emitting even more brilliant light.

“See you next time. Until then take good care of your head.”

Soon a multi-colored light blinked.

***

Flash-!

The light that filled my eyes goes out and my vision returns.

The first thing I saw were huge lifeless trees.

An environment almost similar to where we were a while ago.

That was natural.

Because it is impossible to skip the field with a single scalpel teleport.

“…There’s no one.”

The western part of Deadwood one of the central fields of the Dark Continent.

However there is no sign of popularity from those around you.

It’s probably because all the troops in this area were gathered to catch us.

“Priest hurry and treat the wounded. “We will leave as soon as the treatment is over.”

Although we had passed one critical juncture there was no time to rest so we only had time to reorganize and then immediately started marching.

Head towards the north not the south where our troops are located.

Forcibly guiding his tired body I confirmed if possible the story I didn’t want to hear.

“…What is the damage?”

“There are a total of three deaths.”

Yes two more people got hit besides the guy next to me.

In that short period of time.

“So what about the deaths? “Who is it?”

Soon Kaislan reported the exact damage in a bitter voice.

“Might Million Fiona Amos Niaro Campbell.”

One warrior from Team 2.

One priest from Team 4.

And even the wizards of Team 3….

“A wizard got hit…?”

“It looks like we were attacked blindly after the dragon slayer and his men joined in the last time. “The magic circle was roughly completed so there were no problems with the magic.”

Nimiral you useless dragon slayer.

Crackling.

The expedition team which had 30 people at the start of the journey was soon reduced to 25.

Among them the third team suffered the most damage.

Following the traitor Pike Neldine the wizard also died in this battle reducing the number of people to four.

“Team 2 is also in danger. “That friend Million was the only warrior on the team.”

Akuraba’s team which focuses on firepower is also anxious.

Since you have a summoner you may be able to use three trolls as a vanguard as a temporary measure but the summoner woman is also close to being an extreme dealer in the first place.

“I guess I’ll have to work on the formation.”

“I guess it has to be that way. “No one would be stubborn until it gets to this point.”

Until now when moving each team acted at a certain distance apart.

This is because it is considered more effective unless it is a special situation like eye attack in the sky or just now.

But it doesn’t work that way anymore.

We need to become an expeditionary force in the true sense of the word rather than a coalition of multiple teams.

“If you give me permission I will first divide them by role and create a new formation…”

“I’m fine. Our team members will also understand. “I’ll leave the formation up to you so decide after discussing it with the other team leaders.”

“I understand. “Then let’s do it.”

The first impression was not good but Kaislan was a very useful talent.

After receiving my instructions it wasn’t long before he organized each team into one unit.

He gathered the professions with low physical abilities in the center and placed civilians such as archers swordsmen and thieves around them.

Their role during battle is escort.

When moving they carry those who lack stamina or are slow to walk.

“Ha I’m going to die anyway because it’s so hard….”

“I’m sorry.”

“That’s enough. I can’t help it. “If I get hurt later please treat me well.”

Surprisingly the reaction of those who were treated as vehicles was not that bad.

They also know this.

In order to survive you must make an effort to maintain this group.

“Mister… take care of yourself. “If you need my help shout loudly.”

“You must be careful. “Don’t do anything dangerous.”

Anyway as a result our team had no choice but to split up.

That’s because I’m a warrior with a guardian position.

Of course it has to be at the forefront.

“We are very close to each other.”

When I formed a new formation and resumed my journey Ravien who was behind me spoke to me.

Well now that I think about it I have something to say to him too.

“thanks.”

“…yes?”

“For protecting my position when the dragon slayer appeared.”

Ravien is strong.

It may vary depending on the situation but in general situations it is fair to say that she is a step above Amelia and Erwen.

If this woman had acted unexpectedly at that time she could have caused injuries or even deaths on our team.

“…I’m not so stupid that I can’t distinguish between public and private matters.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“….”

Since there wasn’t anything to talk about after that the conversation ended there.

And how much longer has passed?

“I’m going to rest for a while!”

I took a break at the right time before my physical strength reached its limit.

“Ugh! at las!”

As soon as the march stopped each member put his exhausted body on the ground but one man was different.

“excuse me….”

A man cautiously approaches me with eyes full of dark circles and speaks to me.

“Sven Farab.”

In other words a goblin mask.

It’s really amazing to see him too.

When you watch them fight it doesn’t seem like their strength is that high but strangely enough they don’t get hurt.

“What’s going on here? Without rest?”

In response to my question he spoke to me in a somewhat nervous voice.

“That’s actually….”

“If you have something to say say it quickly. “I need to rest too.”

When I said this with a bit of annoyance without realizing it he closed his eyes and spoke to me.

“Can’t we just keep moving without stopping?”

“Let’s not rest…?”

He thought it was some kind of bullshit but changed his attitude when he realized that it wasn’t something he just said.

“Is there a reason you say that?”

“No it’s not like that…”

“Isn’t it?”

“For some reason I feel uneasy… Ever since I told him to rest I have been having trouble breathing. “It feels like someone is poking the city’s heart with a needle.”

…What is this guy?

People become ominous for no reason.
