Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 414



Episode 414: Bad relationship (4)

The dragon’s deepest place on the 62nd day of entering the labyrinth.

It was now only about 30 minutes until the portal connected to the 8th floor.

“The ring has sensed the character’s fate.”

The traffic light ring lights up.

“Man it’s a red light!”

So you mean there are only negative events ahead?

Still I thought there would be a little bit of green mixed in.

That person loses his/her energy.

“…What should I do? “Shouldn’t we change direction now?”

Erwen muttered in an anxious voice.

Of course until now when the red light on the ring came on or Sven Farab’s sixth sense was activated he immediately turned around to avoid the event.

but….

“Erwen changing the destination now won’t change anything.”

“That’s right… I guess so…”

The entire area is covered in red-hot flames.

Even if we try to run somewhere else the fire will gradually narrow its area and suffocate us.

There is only one way to escape the fire.

All we have to do is risk everything and overcome the fire before it is too late.

“What’s going on Parav?”

At that time the goblin who came next to me spoke with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“I… I felt the safest next to the captain…”

I feel a little offended but I accept it.

It is true that it has helped me a lot so far.

“So how do you feel now?”

“I can barely breathe. “It’s like walking into a burning forest.”

“okay? But for some reason I didn’t say anything. “At times like that he always suggests running away somewhere else.”

“It’s true that it feels ominous but I keep thinking that this is the right path.”

Yes that’s right.

“There will be a portal soon. Everyone speed up!”

Soon I made a final spurt.

And how long has it been?

“It’s a portal!”

In the distance I could see a portal trembling and scattering five-colored brilliance.

and….

“…enemy!”

Enemies are visible through the view secured by the portal light as the light source.

A separate unit consisting of approximately 40 people.

They too were approaching the portal.

“They are royal bastards!!”

“You really came this way!”

Just as we saw them they also spotted us and screamed.

How did you know about this place?

The moment I had that question I saw a familiar face among the enemies.

“You guy…!!”

Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.

“Yeah I knew you would come this way!”

You know a little about me as much as I know you.

It must be a truly bitter affair—

“Running away like a rat ends here!”

What can you say this is a topic that we have just arrived at.

If anyone heard it they would think I had completely blocked the street.

‘Good thing you picked up the pace.’

I praised myself for the decision I made 20 minutes ago.

If we had hesitated at all when the ring emitted red light they would have already blocked us.

A huge sacrifice must have been made.

“Why are you hesitating! Run!”

Beyond the last spurt move your legs with all your might.

The current structure is simple.

The expedition head east towards the portal.

The dragon slayer and his friends… the dragon slayer for short is running north toward the portal.

“Run!!”

Whoever arrives first gets a huge advantage.

But is that because they also know?

The Dragon Slayer also ran desperately narrowing the distance to the portal.

but….

‘Okay we’re faster.’

As of now we can see at a glance that we are closer to a portal.

“Damn it what are you all doing? Attack!”

In order to somehow keep us in check the Yongsaldan began firing long-distance artillery fire.

It was a means of doing it because there were a lot of people.

The decision would be to keep long-distances that need to be cast in place only to check them from afar and in the meantime melee classes that are good at hand-to-hand combat will occupy the portal.

Whiyuuuuung- Quaaaaang-!

Tou doo doo doo doo.

Wow it feels like I’m in a real battlefield.

Numerous arrows and magical powers are pouring down from the sky like rain.

“What are you doing! Without moving any faster! “If you fall behind it’s over!”

“All your legs have strength…!”

“Hey I’m going crazy! “Damn it!”

“but….”

“hurry!”

I was able to move forward while holding on with my bare body in a wide-area deal like this but that wasn’t the case for all of the crew.

“Wow!”

A crew member is injured by a blind arrow.

and….

“Hang in there! “I will treat you soon!”

Another crew carrying the injured person on his back and moving forward.

‘If Nimiral continues like this several more people will die here…’

It was a time when his jaw automatically tightened at that thought.

A shadow with the outline of a woman rises above us as we run hard.

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

The strongest summoned beast that gave rise to the nickname Blood Spirit.

Decloe the Spirit King of Darkness.

Soon Decloe began pouring huge dark spheres at the enemies.

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

Overwhelming firepower that even the explosive type Akuraba cannot produce.

However the holding time is short.

The usable time when full power is applied is about 5 seconds.

But 5 seconds was enough.

“Run!!”

“It’s okay here so go in first!”

At the moment when the dragon slayer group stopped moving to prevent a counterattack one by one starting with the lead group they rushed through the portal.

and….

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Decloe who threw the last sphere of darkness was reverse summoned and Erwen stumbled.

“There you are….”

“There’s no way I could leave it behind right?”

“…That’s right. “Because you’re an uncle.”

“Good job.”

Except for the two of us all the crew members have already gone up to the 8th floor.

I picked up Erwen who was in a state of exhaustion and rushed towards the portal.

And how long has it been?

“Do you think I’ll send it?”

A man’s voice came from right behind me.

It’s definitely fast probably because it’s a civilian character.

When did you get here?

Well at least it was already too late.

Tadat.

The moment you launch your body as if sliding the light of the portal embraces your body warmly.

“You have entered the Land of Dawn on the 8th floor.”

When I rolled on the floor and opened my eyes I saw crews waiting in front of the portal.

“You are the great captain.”

The crew lowered their weapons after seeing my face.

But that was only for a moment.

“The Four Portal shines!”

As soon as I stood up the relieved members adjusted their weapons again.

That’s because our expedition team has all finished entering.

It is obvious who will be in the portal now.

‘Huh I never thought they’d follow me here.’

Are you fearless or are you just rolling your eyes?

There is no need to be scared either way.

What did we run so desperately for?

“Ready for battle!”

“Kill everyone who comes in!”

“I came.”

“Kill me…!!”

Blocking the entrance is invincible.

***

Standing in front of the portal.

No to be exact he is standing guard in front of it.

Holding a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other.

“….”

With crews ready to cast skills and swing weapons at any time.

“…It’s so quiet that it makes me feel anxious.”

More than an hour has already passed since I blocked the portal.

So far this portal has spit out an enemy only once.

The only time the dragon slayer and his men entered at the same time was right after I entered the 8th floor.

‘I wish I had killed him somehow then.’

He killed eight of his men but unfortunately missed the dragon slayer.

It was the first time he had been hit by a barricade at the entrance and he was so excited that he ran away to the 7th floor abandoning his family and friends.

Since then the current situation has continued.

It’s like the calm before the storm.

‘They’ll probably try to push in at once once enough troops are gathered.’

Perhaps at that time we will not be able to protect this place without blocking the entrance. Well I had no intention of blocking the entrance for the rest of my life.

All I wanted was time to regroup.

Just like this.

“All of Schuitz’s injured have recovered.”

“What about food and supplies?”

“I gathered everything I had and everything I needed and loaded it on the sleigh.”

Simply put it means that you can enter Ice Rock right now if you put your mind to it.

But I decided to push myself a little further.

“We’ll take a look at this place so everyone can take turns taking a little rest.”

“…That’s right.”

Soon Kaislan had the members who were in bad condition take a break and Akurava who was watching this approached me.

“Shouldn’t we start soon? “It’s dangerous to continue to stay here.”

Peaceful times continued but Akuraba’s expression was not good.

The gaze is constantly directed to the back as if showing nervousness.

It’s obvious what you’re worried about.

“…Schuitz you know we don’t know when they’ll come back.”

Noark’s elite are currently in the crack on the 8th floor.

If they clear the crack and come out we will be surrounded on both sides.

‘But now I’m lucky.’

In fact what I was most concerned about was that when we entered the 8th floor the elites were waiting at the right time.

Although the probability was similar to being struck by lightning in a dry sky it was a possibility that could not be completely ruled out.

‘The problem is that we don’t know when they will come back…’

It’s like lying on a probability type instant death floor.

If we’re unlucky they’ll come out of the cracks right now leading us to a dead ending.

but….

“Didn’t we continue the forced march for several days without being able to sleep properly? “If we enter the ice rock like this we will be annihilated before we get far.”

There is no other choice.

Akuraba perhaps aware of this also accepted it and left the place.

And it was about 12 hours later.

Ssaaaaaa-!

The portal rumbled spitting out a Noark explorer and the explorer who was not properly equipped was instantly killed by the troops guarding the front.

“Only one person…?”

“…Is this a reconnaissance?”

It was a truly Noark-like response.

If the one we sent as a sacrifice dies we’re still blocking the entrance but if the other way around we just have to come back alive and spread the word.

‘But no matter how much Noark is he won’t just keep sending people away.’

After thinking for a while I made a decision.

If the next reconnaissance comes it will be at least an hour to three hours.

Besides at this level I got at least some rest.

“Everyone pack your bags get up and get dressed!”

There are now 13 days until the labyrinth closes.

“Entering Ice Rock!”

It’s time to head to the last chapter.

***

8th floor Land of Dawn.

A peaceful place with green meadows and mountains.

However the atmosphere there was far from peaceful.

This was because the bloody smell was coming from the bodies of the explorers that filled the surrounding area.

“Say it again. Cale Elbad Zenegger. “What did you just say to me?”

“Give up. Vagos we have already lost them.”

“what!”

Soon the dragon slayer rushed in and grabbed her by the collar but her man did not shut her mouth.

“No matter how much you say it nothing will change. “It would be suicidal to go into the ice rock without any preparation.”

“What do you mean! “We are several times more numerous than them but we can’t do what they did?”

“You’re saying this because you don’t know about ice rock. Even if there are a lot of them it will only hinder movement on the ice rock.”

“….”

“I’m afraid you might be asking if it’s okay to select only the elite and go so I’ll tell you in advance that this too is dangerous. “The reason they had been running away so far was because there were enemies everywhere.”

“Are you sure you want to tell me that if we follow along on our own we will face the consequences?”

“yes. They… especially the man who is the leader is a huge monster—”

The man responded firmly to her young question with the anger of a dragon slayer and immediately felt pressure on his neck.

“Whoops…!”

“What a piece of trash.”

The eyes of the dragon slayer who strangled him while saying that were filled with only murderous intent.

But no matter how cool he was couldn’t he have expected that he would kill himself?

The strangled man spoke urgently.

“If Captain Da finds out about this—”

“The leader that damn leader.”

“Wow!”

“Who will the leader choose between you and me? “Do you think they’ll kill me for killing you?”

“Oh no….”

Soon the blood flow to his head was blocked and the strangled man’s body went limp. If I stay here for a few more seconds I will definitely die.

but….

“Sigh.”

The dragon slayer threw all of her men on the floor and spat on her.

He was angry that he kept climbing up without knowing the subject so he did something but he couldn’t kill him.

Aside from the fact that he talks a lot he’s a useful guy.

That’s why the leader especially cared about that guy.

“Damn it.”

The dragon slayer clenched his fists as if his anger did not go away even after venting his anger a lot.

The other subordinates all noticed this and lowered their gazes but the dragon slayer’s mind was actually cold.

‘…This guy’s words aren’t wrong either.’

If you can’t push through with your troops it’s dangerous to go in like this.

There would be no problem if everyone was at the same level as you but even if you selected them as elites they would still be at the trash level.

The only thing that was better was this guy who had just fainted.

If he overexerts himself and has to use a proverb his barely recovered body will be ruined and he may have to rest for several months.

‘That guy the leader is going to be a bitch too.’

In many ways damage is certain.

but….

‘So you’re saying we have to send this guy who won’t be bothered even if he gets chewed up like this?’

I don’t like it either.

It was not simply a matter of the heart but a feeling that arose from experience. Looking back it was like that in Larkaz’s Labyrinth.

[Want me to tell you why you always lose money? You follow along taking only as much as you need at the time. Even in moments when victory is necessary.]

In order to avoid losses he gave them away one by one and eventually reached that point. Because his body was damaged and he lost his memory he had to spend over a year as a semi-invalid.

But let the culprit go obediently?

The more calmly he organized his thoughts the more his mind tilted towards the idea that he shouldn’t have done that.

Because it was no longer just a matter of revenge.

‘This guy has become so strong in just that period of time.’

What will he be like the next time we meet?

Since the Eye in the Sky has been destroyed it is clear that the royal family will reward you greatly once you return.

If he gets stronger here.

Will I really be able to beat him then?

Soon Regal Vagos made up his mind.

‘…I have to do it now.’

I can’t give you any more time.

No matter what loss you endure you must end your bad relationship with that guy.

That’s a wise choice.

Wow.

It was the moment when I made that decision.

As if the heavens were cheering on his decision.

Ssaaaaaa-!

The warm spring wind blew strong and swept into one place forming a halo of light.

It meant only one thing.

“…Crack! A crack opens!”

The most elite unit that is being trained in secret in Noark.

Are you saying you don’t even eat purified water that is lower than grade 4?

There is even a rumor going around within Noark that if they begin their activities in earnest a generational crossover will occur within Orculis…

‘Lucky guys who met the times well.’

The dragon slayer’s assessment of them was exactly this.

That’s because while others worked their way up from the first floor and worked their way up they received a lot of support because they had potential and there were a lot of vacant positions for Jeongsu.

‘Well it’s still good.’

Regardless of the stomachache the dragon slayer smiled and moved forward.

Before long the portal opened and the raiding party appeared.

They look worn and worn as if they had gone through an arduous battle.

“Are you… Regal Vagos? “What’s going on here?”

The dragon slayer grinned and answered the raid team’s question.

“The Eye in the Sky has been destroyed.”

“…what? Eyes in the sky?”

“And the people who broke it escaped to the ice rock over there.”

“But why do we…”

“The leader’s instructions are to lead you in pursuit.”
