Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 68



Episode 68 Barbarian Hero (1)

[Gap of Evil]

This is a type of instant death attack that appears when Liakis absorbs 10 or more beads.

If you don’t escape within the time limit you will die no matter how hard you trained your character.

It was about 45 minutes in-game time.

And one feature here….

Regardless of location everyone is pulled to the center.

Huh!

Before I had time to adjust to the darkness in front of me a pulling sensation spread throughout my body.

“Bjorn…!! How can this—!”

I don’t know why but Misha’s voice is heard at 0.5x speed.

Therefore I spoke at double speed.

“Don’t worry you won’t die right away.”

“What does that mean—!”

Misha shouted slowly but her cry was not completed until the end.

Complete silence as if hearing itself had disappeared.

Of course the time itself was not long.

“All characters within the radius will be moved to the center of evil.”

When I opened my eyes there was light there.

“Bjorn!”

Sound was also heard normally and many people other than Misha were seen everywhere.

“What the hell is this place…?”

“What! “I was definitely running away…”

At first glance 200 is a reasonable number of explorers.

I left Misha who was clinging to me with an anxious face behind me and checked a place.

Those with the Dzarwi Clan emblem were quickly gathering among themselves and forming a formation.

‘Is there already this much left from 50?…’

A little over 20 people.

There were 11 deaths during the three hours of confrontation with Liakis and more than that number were lost in less than five minutes.

What on earth happened in that brief moment?

Well it wasn’t hard to guess.

“Look! “If you know what’s going on now—”

“Shut up you scum.”

A voice of anger erupts in response to an explorer’s question.

“How many people do you know have died because of scum like you?”

“If you come any closer I will attack immediately.”

In fact the Dzarwi Clan was united among themselves and was on alert to prevent anyone from approaching.

The explorers were also puzzled by this.

“Why is it because of us!”

“If you hadn’t taken our equipment in the first place this wouldn’t have happened!”

“I heard that the major clans swear to their guilds and royal families that they will do their duty in times of emergency. Let’s decide what’s right and wrong later but right now let’s all work together…”

“Please let me in! I didn’t even participate in the first place. “If you ask me to pay more protection fee I will pay it….”

The explorers who did not even know what kind of situation they were in let out a loud cry.

Well you probably know that too.

If you get abandoned by them you have no chance of survival.

But what should I do with this?

“Just be thankful that they don’t kill you right away. “Trash.”

The intentions of the Dzarwi Clan were stubborn.

“Where are those selfish words! “That doesn’t mean we should all go out and die!”

“I understand correctly.”

“…What what? Let’s see let’s see these guys! “Do you think we’ll just stay quiet?”

A man who caused agitation on the front lines.

Many explorers sympathized with Jack Flitzer’s cry but the Clan only laughed as if it was not the same.

“What are you going to do if you don’t stay still?”

“That’s right we can work together to save you—”

“I’m telling you in advance don’t expect me to be swayed as helplessly as before. “If you’re all trash I can burn everything down here if I want to.”

It wasn’t anything like bravado.

Of course the situation is different from before.

Unlike back then when we were spread out to deal with Liakis we are now in a proper tight formation.

From the looks of it it looks like they are ready to unleash their magic at any time.

“Shit!”

“Do you think we will die without you?”

It was then that the explorers realized their reality.

“I know about this phenomenon.”

A human man who appeared to be about 160 cm tall opened his mouth in front of the crowd.

“You know about this phenomenon?”

“Now I don’t know the details. But if we don’t get out of here in time we’ll all die. “It was written that way in an old book.”

“…Is that really true?”

As Jack Flitzer gave him a suspicious look a woman stepped forward to replace the man who seemed to be her sire.

“I can guarantee that!”

“fairy?”

“I’ve been teaming up with this guy for over a year. And I experienced many unbelievable things. This person is a mysterious person. He really doesn’t know anything. “I have no doubt that this man’s words will save us.”

Jack Flitzer’s complexion changed.

“If it’s what the fairy says… it might be worth listening to. “Look what should we do to get out of here?”

“It’s not even a method! “I heard that you can escape from here if you go about 5km in any direction…”

Surprisingly what that human man said was true.

The problem is that the moment you leave this place where there is light Liakis’s clones come rushing in from the darkness.

“I heard there is a certain monster but if we all work together I’m sure we can do it!”

“Hmm that certainly makes sense.”

Damn.

If it were that easy the guys from that clan would have jumped out first. Rather than having a serious conversation with each other with a shit-chewing face.

“Bjorn what are you going to do?”

“what?”

“But when you see an elf giving a guarantee to a human like that it must mean that the human being really has something to offer.”

Um is that so?

To me he just looks like an idiot…

“Don’t be swayed by things like that and wait calmly.”

“I understand!”

Anyway the situation developed quickly after that.

“There is a fairy’s assurance but there is a clear possibility that the man is wrong. but! “Rather than just waiting for death like this I want to walk here!”

As Jack Plitcher who soon made a decision began to agitate again public opinion gradually moved.

“Yes you die this way you die that way!”

“I don’t think those bastards will help us anyway. Do we have any other options?”

“With so many people something will work out!”

“But no matter how much I think about it I don’t think it will be that easy…”

There were many people who were skeptical but once people started to gather the pace accelerated perhaps because they thought they might be left behind.

And now.

“I will ask you this for the last time! “If anyone wants to join us come out now!”

More than 100 explorers came together.

There are about 40 people left including Misha and me.

Jack Plitcher who was looking at us all the way saw me and started talking to me.

“Hey did you say this is Viagron the son of a yandere?”

“…I am Bjorn son of Yandel.”

“Hmm was that so? “Anyway you’re not going to join us?”

Why bother asking again? Don’t you know enough about that just by being here?

I answered by shrugging my shoulders.

however….

“If you’re a barbarian you’ll regret being stupid.”

Fuck? What is this again?

Why do you make such a fuss at the end when you can just go your own way?

I couldn’t really understand the sentiment but since I believe in giving back as much as I received I gave him a good compliment.

“What are you saying? The baby will be born soon. Don’t talk nonsense and get out of bed quickly. “It will be more helpful to the world.”

“What what?”

“Do you want to fight me? Then come here. “I will break that empty head.”

There were a hundred explorers behind him and as I walked forward holding my mace he turned his head.

And he went away muttering to himself.

“He really thought of me and told me…”

“It looks like there’s no one else I can join so let’s go! “I can’t afford to waste time on something like this!”

It’s a happening anyway.

More than half of the people disappeared into the darkness.

In this case is it true that he crawled into the limb on his own feet?

Anyway when they left Misha came close next to me and muttered as if he had been waiting.

“Bjorn what are we going to do?”

“Why do you always ask me that?”

“That’s right… until now what you’ve said has always been correct. “I trust you.”

“I see.”

I appreciate what you said but what Misha said was wrong.

My choice is not the right answer.

How could a mere human know such a thing?

I just chose the one that seemed most likely at the moment the problem occurred.

And in that sense…

Trup-

I walked towards the Dzarwi Clan who was in the middle of a discussion.

‘At this point it’s clear how much the other side has screwed up…’

Now it’s time to go gambling.

This is the gamble with the highest success rate that I have judged based on various reasons.

“Stop Barbarian. “If you come closer—”

As I approached the clan stopped me.

Coincidentally the person making the call was someone who was from the same neighborhood as us.

“Oh my brother Burning….”

“Half a penny…? “Why are you here…”

A sudden reunion.

It was clear that there wouldn’t be a touching brother-sister reunion so I stood between them and asked with a sly smile.

“It’s been a while.”

“…what? “It’s been a while?”

Misha’s brother frowns at her.

Well it’s not like we’re going to say hello like this.

Therefore while he was confused I immediately got to the point.

“So has the Orc hero essence been released?”

“Well luckily—”

Yes you were lucky.

“Wait a minute how do you know that?”

I smiled as I looked at my brother who was staring at me with scary eyes.

The gamble paid off.

First of all at least halfway.

***

Vice-captain of the Dzarwi Clan.

Iraj McGrane thought.

‘Fucked.’

Total deaths: 27.

Proportionally this number amounts to 20% of the total strength of the Dzarwi Clan. I can’t even guess how much time it will take to restore it.

‘Well there’s no guarantee that we’ll come back alive.’

He opened his eyes and looked at the members.

There are currently a total of 23 surviving clan members.

Looking at the number of people it can be said that about half of the force survived but in reality this is not the case.

he asked the adjutant.

“What exactly is the current power level?”

“There are three priests six wizards twelve ranged support classes… and two melee warriors.’

The report continued with a miserable voice.

It will be like that.

“There are only two melee warriors….”

The distribution of personnel is insufficient to even be described as deformed.

When the riots broke out the fighters who did not receive support suffered major losses that were close to annihilation.

“Still I’m glad. “If it weren’t for the vice-captain’s decision we wouldn’t have had time to reorganize like this—”

“That’s something you can only find out after you return alive.”

McGrane quietly caught his breath.

As soon as he decided that it was impossible to quell the riot he issued an order. The plan was to leave Liakis to absorb the dark sphere.

Thanks to this we succeeded in minimizing damage and saving time.

‘Okay time… I guess it’s just buying time.’

“Hey Lord McGrane! What do you plan to do now? “You didn’t just give up everything right?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“Then you will have to think quickly. “If you have studied anything about Riakis the Lord of Chaos you will know that we do not have much time left.”

McGrane sighed as he looked at the wizard who spoke in a sharp voice.

“The star that rises at dusk will guide us….”

The priests who made the sign of the cross and prayed were better but if they looked at you with hate it was clear that even if you survived it would lead to bad results.

‘Think about what you can do to return alive as much as possible.’

McGrane thought and thought.

What is the best thing to do in the current situation.

“Vice-captain the explorers are trying to form a group. “It looks like they are trying to get out of here on their own.”

“This is the first good news in a while. “Leave me alone.”

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t it act as bait?”

We decided to thoroughly utilize positive variables.

He thought over and over again about the escape route how to deploy personnel when moving and the optimal formation.

There was no answer.

“As you ordered I made you familiar with the formation when moving. Now you can move at any time.”

I did the best I could but…

‘Assuming we’re lucky at least half of us will die.’

The absence of warriors was so fatal.

At most two people can’t even clear the path properly and even those two people are a swordsman and a spearman.

Professional defense warrior.

In other words there are no explorers in the guardian position.

‘It’s crazy that we have to pave the way with only these people when they are more important than ever.’

Just one person.

If there had been just one explorer in a proper guardian position the situation would have been much more positive…

“The vice-captain explorers have left.”

“Hurry up and make a decision!”

McGrane squeezed his eyes shut as he saw his Clanmates looking at him.

“The number is over 100. “Unless they move when they attract even the slightest attention—”

“I know.”

There is no time.

You have to make a decision quickly.

It was just as McGrane was finally about to open his tightly shut mouth.

“That’s why I said it!! I will open the way—!!”

A barbarian shouted.

It was as if he knew of his concerns that no one else in this place knew about.

McGrane asked his adjutant like a man possessed.

“Hey who is that friend who is doing that?”

“I heard a little bit and it looks like he’s a colleague of Mr. Karlstein’s younger sister. “Vice-captain there is no need for you to worry about—”

“I will decide that so you can answer.”

Soon the adjutant answered.

“I don’t know how the author knew but… he is requesting the essence of an orc hero.”

“The essence of an orc hero?”

“Yes he said that if he had that he could open the road.”

McGrane activated one of his abilities [Survival Instinct] and then looked at the barbarian again.

And he chanted.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a strong light from a person.”

The gift that had saved him from numerous crises was speaking.

It’s definitely worth listening to.
