Chapter 71

Episode 71 Barbarian Hero (4)

[Prey]

A target affected by this is incapacitated.

It’s easy to see it as a kind of curse.

But the difference

is……. ‘Riakis’s aggro is fixed on the [prey].’

In other words, you have to keep a little distance before he wakes up.

That way the odds go up.

Therefore, the car prepared to leave the seat in a hurry.

McGrain looks at Misha and asks as if spitting out.

“Aren’t you going to throw it away?”

“Of course.”

say that

When I laughed as if it wasn’t worth listening to, McGrain nodded as if he liked it.

“Treasure one’s comrades is also an important virtue of an explorer. Do you really have any intention of joining a clan? “No.” ”

Even

if

we protect that woman together?

” . If it had been you who had been designated as [prey], you wouldn’t have had a choice.”

That’s right.

I don’t think Misha could carry me on her back and run for 15 minutes by herself

. Is this because he’s an explorer?

Saying that to his face is like a fucking psychopath.

“Anyway, the deal ends here. We’ll be on our way, so let’s see it in the city someday if we get a chance.”

“If we can go back alive.”

That’s a hunch.”

I wish I could stop plugging the flags in later. I

‘ve been looking for some helpful suggestions, but in the end it was a waste of time—

“I hope I can help you a little on your journey. What one! Why don’t we start soon?”

McGrain shouted as he looked at the clan members, and as if he had waited, light started to radiate here and there.

“Daniel Carmine

cast [Wind Protection].”

「Tarotes Pian cast [Sailing].」

「Character’s soul power is regenerated more quickly.」

「Aaron Deflain cast [Regeneration Flame].

「The character’s body regeneration power is greatly increased… ….」

「……」

「……」

Is this loyalty?

After they got out of there, they should have run out of MP, but they did such a favor

. In any case, it would be right to say thank you obediently at times like this.

“…Thank you.

” If you die, won’t he come to us?”

McGrain, who said truly efficient words, started preparing to leave with his clan members. Well, it’s me. It’s me carrying

him on my back and fixing the backpack so it doesn’t fall, but it’s not them. ” Then

we’ll go first.”

“That’s right. If you go first, we’ll go in the opposite direction.”

You’re really rational to the end, mister.

There’s no room to be upset anymore, so I smiled and started running in one direction carrying Misha on my back

.

It wasn’t long before I heard its cries from afar.

***

Being chased.

Hanging on the back of a barbarian like a piece of baggage.

Running away from a terrifying monster like Riakis, the lord of chaos.

“Whoop whoop whoop… ….”

My body is hot.

It’s not a description, it’s real.

I can feel the heat that he exhales as he sprints as if he poured oil into a campfire.

[Goooooooooooooooooo—!]

I can’t move my stiff body and look behind me.

But “I can hear it.

That trembling cry is getting closer and closer.

“Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

So I called his name.

Maybe I didn’t hear him, so I didn’t get an answer.

So I called a little louder.

“Bjorn, son of Yandel!

” Say it.”

“Stop it now.”

I also noticed.

It was me, not Bjorn, that monster was chasing me.

That’s why everyone looked at me that way.

Even my bloodline family. Because Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

existence itself becomes a nuisance.

“What do you mean?”

he said,

in his usual tone, as if he didn’t understand, as if he was asking why he bothered people with pointless questions.

So I tried my usual cheerfulness to say,

“That’s enough. You’re going to die like this We’re not that close, aren’t we?”

No answer came back.

So he shouted a little louder.

“If it weren’t for you anyway, I would have died a long time ago! Besides, my lifelong wish came true at the end!”

The answer came back with a little interval.

“That’s funny.”

“…What?

”

Somehow, a cynical voice.

As if I had made a mistake inadvertently, an excuse came out

without my knowledge. “It’s not that I don’t

mean

it , I really—

! ”

grew louder.

“Why can’t you understand me! I just don’t want to cause any more trouble!” ”

So

, are those feelings more important than your life?

” I don’t know

if it’s good,

but he says with a bit of annoyance,

“If you want to live, don’t bother going back and forth. Just ask for help.” Then there’s at least a chance of survival.”

Barbarian-like monotonous vocabulary.

Still, I think I know what he’s trying to say.

After being stranded in the Witch’s Forest, he’s personally shown me how to judge and act in order to survive.

‘Oh, I’m so pathetic . You’ve seen it…”

He always said, ”

If you want to live, do

what you have to do. Then what am I supposed to do now?

Well, I don’t know, but I don’t know if I’m pouring out my depression to the person who’s been abandoned by my family in desperation and offering to help.” “Bjorn,”

I called him again. It seemed like

he

soon understood

what I had to do.

“If you save me, I’ll follow you and help you for the rest of my life.”

If you’re really afraid of being abandoned. It was the right order to look at,

but…

“I think I’ve heard that before.”

His answer made me realize the mistake and my head went blank.

Uh, then what should I say?

The time to think about it wasn’t long.

“If I return alive, I will give you all the money I earned from this expedition! How about this!”

He

replied

with

a

smile .

He exhaled and spurred on the run.

After that, it seems that his mentality has been taken care of.

If he has thoughts, he won’t be more annoying. ‘

Is the problem from now on…….’

Check it. I

can see that hundreds of spirits of chaos are chasing me.

Of course, they are not a big problem.

They have a feature that once they get aggro, they follow them to the end, but their movement speed is slow. Unlike

that bastard , .

_

_

_

_

_ The duration of [Blessing] has ended.」

「The duration of [Sailing] has ended.」

「The duration of [Berserker] has expired…

」

This is the biggest problem I faced.

The various buffs given by the Dzarwi clan started to end sequentially.

The vitality of the body slowly draining away.

The gait became slow enough to be recognized by oneself before I knew it.

‘At the longest, 3 About a minute.’

I rethink the variables and amend my plan.

Of course, nothing much has changed.

In the end, there is only one thing I have to do right now.

Running as best I can

.

As expected, after about 2 minutes, it started to rain. .Proof

that he came right up close.

The number of the spirits of chaos actually standing in the way increased noticeably.

However, he didn’t bother to check his back.

He just acknowledged that the time had come and took out the things he had been saving

. [Giant] has been cast.”

“The character’s physique increases, and the threat and body values increase in proportion to the size.”

Muscles and skeletons swelled in an instant.

Arms and legs also lengthened

proportionally . As it rises, the overall combat power index will also rise.

But the important thing here is the increase in movement speed.

Kuung! Kuung!

Instead of a heavy vibration every time you step out, the stride itself has become wider than before.

Unfortunately, it lasted for a long time It’s

because the soul power, or MP, was completely exhausted while escaping the [Evil Gap]

.

I mobilize all my knowledge as a deceased person to infer the remaining time. It’s

a shame because I received the [Sailing] buff that increases the recovery speed of my soul power. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to maintain it for even a minute. ”

How long is Missha’s time?”

Misha, who had put her watch on her hand, hurriedly replies,

“Oh, 56 minutes!”

“Exactly.”

“196 seconds left!”

Yes, a little over three minutes

left .

Look at that or count the numbers.”

“Ah, I see! One hundred and ninety one hundred and eighty-nine…….”

I started the last minute spurt while Misha counted the numbers and acted as a timer.

Now I let out a sigh that stuck to my lips.

“Behel—Laaaaaaa!! ”

The body moves quickly as if an ancestor god pushed my back.

“One hundred and seventy one hundred and sixty-nine…….”

The more the seconds hand clicks, the more the amount of falling rainwater increases.

Also, the number of enemies blocking the way increases.

Therefore, what I have to do has also changed.

Up until now, I had only focused on rushing and running regardless of whether they were following me or not…… but

from now on, I have to clear the

road

.

No matter what, he thought that doing his part was the priority.

Perhaps it was the latter.

The reason Misha didn’t answer my words was:

“The spirit of chaos has been destroyed.”

“The location is being eroded.

” The spirit of chaos that had been beaten exploded and sprayed slime.

Even though it should have touched her skin, Misha continued to focus on memorizing the number. As

if that was the only thing she could do

.

I did my best in my role,

crushing the spirits of chaos that rushed in like a tidal wave, occasionally leaping my huge body and jumping over my head, etc.

[Goooooooooooooooo—!]

I put all my energy into keeping my distance from that bastard. “One hundred twenty one hundred nine hundred eighteen…”

My right arm holding the mace felt numb because it was covered in mucus.

Is

it a fucking ‘paralysis’ verdict?

I made a quick decision .

I changed the position of the shield and mace.

“Nine ninety!!”

I suddenly felt

a hot flame behind my back

.

Fortunately, there was no major damage.

Or rather, as much as that pattern fell behind me, many of the chaos spirits that were attracted to me would have exploded intact.

But it’s too early to be purely happy.

That means he used his breath, so I’m within his attack range. ” Seventy

-five…….” With

1 minute and 15 seconds remaining,

the first direct attack was directed at me following the breath.

Quaang-!

A giant forepaw that slammed the spot I was in.

A hot-tempered barbarian. “Seventy-four…”

When I looked straight ahead,

I saw that he was blocking my way

. A bloated body.

Even the ‘fighting spirit’ of an orc hero was useless against that gigantic figure that broke the will to fight just by looking at it.

After all, fighting spirit also means something only to those who have room to rub it in.

My heart beats pounding!

It runs like it is.

It certainly deserves it.

There is no way to use the knowledge of the deceased and to guarantee survival against him in the current state. Perhaps

Misha instinctively sensed this and stopped memorizing the numbers.

“By Bjorn. That’s it.”

Huh?

I thought the whining was supposed to be graduation.

[Gooohhh—!!]

Seeing him roar in my face, I immediately turned and ran back.

The back is still noisy . “I ca

n’t hear you! Leave me and run—”

I murmured firmly.

“Stop.”

I ‘ll have to say something that makes sense.

“I don’t intend to let you die.”

Now come and run?

Who

pays

the

price

?

It was a promise that each other would help each other.

If you don’t pamper yourself enough to at least not waste the price of the ring, you’ll lose a lot.

“Promise? It’s just that you’ll die with me for that reason!”

Misha shouted incomprehensibly…

“Who dies?”

I’ll live. Be

efficient and take all the rewards I can get. I

‘m going back to the city outside of this labyrinth.

Of course, it’s going to be hard like a dog… but

nothing particularly special.

In the first place, I’ve never gotten what I want without risk—

Kwaang-!

A huge paw falls from the top of my head. I

tried to avoid it, but it was a little late

. Your

arm…!”

The arm holding the mace was

ripped off

.

throw it away I didn’t. I’m sure you’ll die too…”

His voice trembled as if he had entered a state of panic.

He shouted as he ran forward with all his might.

“Misha Karlstein! Tell me the time!”

“…60 seconds! That’s 60 seconds left!!”

Is it okay if I only last for one minute

?

Soon I stopped,

and I turned my back to look at the huge chew, and

my instinct was still talking. I

had to run away

right now.

But I judged it

. did it If I die, he too…”

Even if I tried to run away, his attack eventually reached him. Just

looking at it from a moment ago.

If it hadn’t been for turning his back and running away, he would have been able to avoid it without losing his arm

.

! What are you doing!”

“If you have time to whine, take your time.”

Dismissing Misha’s complaints,

I hope that the blessings of the ancestors will be with my destiny even a little

bit .

I ran in the direction of the chick, not the opposite direction of the chew,

and

that

came out.

The calf opened its ferocious mouth and spewed out flames.

It was the moment my judgment was proven correct.

“Fifty-four…”

If I had run away, driven by instinct,

then I would have been grilled whole with Misha. There must have been only the future.

But I didn’t run away.

That’s why…

“Oh fifty three!!!”

I was able to escape from the radius by sliding between his crotches in time.

“Fifty two!!!”

Sliding body Before I even have time to raise it, he slams down his back foot, which is the axis of the center of gravity. I

dodged

it by rolling to the side.

But immediately, he backed away and came scratching me with his front foot.

“Oh oh 50…. …”

I

lowered

my head and avoided it.

That

‘s why I watched the Dzarwi clan closely and learned the attack

pattern

.

“Twenty-six…….” His tail

jumps with

all his might as he is swung,

just like the warriors of Clan Dzarwi have been fighting him for hours. In fact , except for

the breath or the dark sphere, these three

are

all the means of physical attack that he has

.

[Ohoh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh —!]

The nom gives a lean roar.

The attack has become a bit more

terrible.

”

Ten.”

I leaped upward as if jumping rope, but I

wonder

if my height was a bit short

!

“fifteen… Kyaaak!”

The body rotates and falls in the air.

Somehow, it rolls across the floor and stands up quickly, but one ankle is completely broken.

In the meantime, the guy slaps his front foot down.

“…….’

rolled with

Still, it was intuitive.

You’re a step late.

If you do well with this, you might lose—

Kwaang-!

what the fuck is it

Surprisingly, for the first time in a while, the ominous feeling was wrong.

“The character’s soul power is insufficient.”

“The [Giantization] ends.”

The body shrunk in half just in time.

When I turn my head to the side, I see a huge footprint right in front of me.

Maybe if the timing was just a little bit late, my head would have become a burst watermelon and scattered over there.

Tadat.

Feeling dizzy, I quickly get up from my seat.

I felt pain in my left ankle, but it was enough to ignore it.

‘It’s 10 seconds now.’

Instead of Misha, who seemed to have passed out after being hit by the tail earlier, I counted the numbers in my mind.

‘9.’

The situation was not good.

‘8.’

At some point, the chaos spirits that have gathered this much are narrowing my range of action.

All of my ankles were sore and my body was sluggish.

Hence—

‘7.’

He climbed on top of his forepaw.

‘6.’

However, it was clear that he would drop a piece of shit to shake it off…

‘5.’

With one arm left and strong teeth typical of a barbarian, I held on tightly to his hide.

I didn’t have a jaw to do well.

Quaang-!

As he slammed the floor once more, his body bounced off due to the recoil.

Surprisingly, he promptly snatched me up in the air with his other foot.

Fish Hee Hee—.

The guy snorts happily when he finally succeeds in hunting.

The gaping mouth quickly draws closer.

If you chew on it with those ferocious teeth, you’ll be able to bite into a piece of armor made of titanium.

But …….

“It’s late.”

Isn’t this a world where there are labyrinths, monsters, and dead monsters disappear leaving behind drop items?

「The labyrinth has been closed.」

My eyes drifted apart.

Darkness rushes in in an instant.

I thought as I looked at the dimly visible guy in the center.

‘Lord of Chaos, Liakis.’

He was definitely as dog-like as the force he showed in the game.

Even though I hadn’t moved on to the 2nd phase, there was nothing I could do other than being chased and beaten with excitement.

But…

if the next day comes when we see each other again—

[Goooooooooooooo—!!!!!]

Then it will be different.

***

「The character moves to Lapdonia.」

***

When I opened my eyes, I saw light.

It was hazy weather, but a brilliant light that could not be compared to the Labyrinth.

‘I’m alive……’

Misha, who had closed her eyes for a moment as if enjoying the warmth of the light, hurriedly raised her upper body.

‘Bjorn! What happened to Bjorn?’

Soon after coming to his senses, he looked at the dimension plaza, which had a different atmosphere than usual.

“Chief! Call the priest!!”

“Joe hang on! He’s back in the city!!”

Injured people popped up all over the place.

The help they cry for.

“What the hell happened?”

“I don’t know. I asked the guild staff, but they didn’t answer if they were busy.”

People who do not know about this situation are buzzing and raising questions.

That’s natural.

It’s common for people to survive dramatically after the labyrinth is closed, but there are only a handful of cases where so many people have been injured at once.

“Did you hear? It looks like a layer lord has appeared on the third floor.”

“What? Hierarchical Lord?”

“…then they must all be explorers on the third floor.”

Misha took a slow step forward with a body full of headaches.

“Look! It looks like you’ve been on the third floor, too, so sit still and rest—”

A male explorer approached, but Misha didn’t answer and pushed him away as he walked.

“Get out of the way.”

taking a break? getting treatment?

It’s all good, but there’s something I need to do before that.

So, I walked through the dimensional plaza full of crowds.

That was when

“That friend will die soon.”

“No matter how barbarian you are, in that state…”

Barbarian.

Misha headed towards it like a possessed person at the sudden word she heard nearby.

Pushing aside the crowds gathered as if to watch, and heading towards the center, there was one barbarian as they said.

“Bjorn…”

Misha slowly approached him.

One arm ripped off, left ankle bent in a deformed shape.

And black slime covering the whole body.

It seemed like he knew what had happened since he passed out, even if he didn’t see it.

It must have been a desperate fight.

As always to live.

“Don’t go near! The priest is coming, so just leave it alone—”

I think I can understand why everyone is just watching from a distance.

Misha didn’t answer and went over to his side and quietly put her ear to him.

It was painful as the mucus touched her cheeks… but

Misha involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

Sap- Sap-.

Breathing regularly, like a sleeping baby.

“Haa, I guess I was just sleeping. I was surprised…”

My arms and legs lost strength.

However, Misha gathered strength and wiped the mucus from his body with her hands.

to give him some rest.

“The priest is coming, so don’t worry and rest.”

As soon as I wiped the mucus from my face, I could see Bjorn’s expression properly.

It was a very comfortable look.

As if all you had to do was done.

Suddenly, a wizard’s words came to mind.

[If Balkan, who was called the hero of the barbarians, came back alive, it would look like that…] These were

the words of the wizard who admired Bjorn’s side as he opened the road.

Of course, Misha didn’t know what Balkan was doing.

But…

“I think I know what the wizard meant when he said that.”

If there is a hero, it must be like this.
