Chapter 227

Episode 227 Reversal (3)

Takelan Arbenon.

He never knew.

‘What am I doing?’

wield a sword

Move your arms to kill the enemy with all the strength left in your body.

Still, I constantly ask myself.

‘why?’

Most of all, my dear wife died.

But why should I live?

The barbarian answered that question.

[Because there must be someone to deliver the news.]

[Yes, there was that……]

Takelan, who was in a state of desperation, listened to his words and embarked on this rugged journey.

To deliver news to a colleague’s bereaved family?

He knew very well that this was not the case.

A barbarian who, unlike himself, protected everything.

[Say it again! Everyone stop!]

With a foolishly honest voice, he prevented the tragedy of falling into madness.

[I am Melter Fend, leader of the Nartel Clan.]

[This is Lacey Nareth of the Heindel Church.]

[A servant magician of Lapdonia.]

Recognized by renowned explorers.

[Behel – Raaaa Ah !!]

The great barbarian who led the tough journey to the most dangerous best head to the destination.

This man is a born leader.

Just as she was first attracted to him, she had the power to move people’s hearts.

But that’s why…

I want to see this great man in despair after losing something precious.

Then I think it will put my mind at ease a little bit.

yeah it was unavoidable

Even this guy couldn’t do it, right?

No wonder I couldn’t protect them.

He has followed this journey with the disgusting motive of seeking comfort through misfortune.

Yes, it must have been

so …….

wielding a sword

To save someone other than me.

“Ah, thank you. Didn’t you say Takelan?”

“…….”

“A silent friend.”

On the subject of losing a colleague with whom he has been with him for many years, he is fighting with all his might for someone he has never seen before.

Takelan did not understand at all.

Slow-!

Why am I still fighting

Because I didn’t see that barbarian despair?

if not then why

“Huh, in this situation, reinforcements are coming.”

“Maybe we’ll die?”

“Ha, that’s crazy. How did you get here?”

“Stop the small talk and just fight!”

“Yes, I can’t just die because it’s unfair!”

Are they resisting until the end even though they intuit their own death?

“Waaaaaa-!”

Takelan, who scanned the eyes of the explorers, soon realized the reason.

Aaaaaang-!

Over there, where the sound of continuous explosions blooms.

A place where many enemies flock.

A man with a huge back was fighting.

“Behel—laaaaaaaa!!!”

Still don’t give up hope.

***

The situation is grim.

But the more I think about it, the more I think of the positive side.

‘Equipment is only on the 2nd and 3rd floors.’

Although the number is quite high, the individual’s strength is considerably inferior. After all, if I had good skills, I would have gone upstairs and hunted long ago.

In fact, the remnants of Noark were mixed with the corpse and attacked us, but there was no big difference to us right away.

At our level, a corpse summoned by the clown was more threatening.

‘The problem… is that it takes more time to clear the road.’

Actually, this is the most annoying thing.

Time is not on our side.

We have to kill the clown as quickly as possible and beat the werewolf or the annihilator, but we have a chance.

But the remnants of Noark showed up.

‘If this happens, the rear formation will also collapse……’

Time was running out more and more.

As the impatience increased, the hand holding the mace was filled with strength.

Kwajik-!

Again, he died in one hit.

However, even at this moment when I defeat the enemy.

“Aagh!”

The number of allies is decreasing.

In the face of death, people are more sincere than anyone else.

Someone confessed their love by shouting the name of their family, threw a double curse at the king, and told the world their identity that they would never have revealed.

“Face… and then. Hey, I’m a demon.”

“…What? What is that!”

“I’m sorry I lied to you… Thank you so far… Heck! Now I’m finally home… Ah ah mom… I’m very late…

” There’s no way there isn’t a single one.

pounding-!

I thought it was unreasonable.

After overcoming so many adversities, I arrived here, but did it end in vain like this?

‘…No, it can’t be.’

calms the trembling heart

It’s not too late to break even after you’ve collapsed.

Are your arms and legs still moving?

It is right to struggle and struggle again until the breath stops and the blood cools.

Yes, that’s why…….

Kwajik-!

I think while swinging my mace.

Like the first day I came here.

What do you have to do to live?

Well, from the moment I figured it out.

“Kyle! How about there?”

[I’m barely holding on so far, but it’s not good.]

It seems that the damage to the rear, where ranged positions such as wizards and archers are gathered, is also high.

Is it natural?

It must be the same as the other side that Noark explorers attacked. Most of the warriors were on this side, so it must have been difficult to deal with.

‘Is it like being surrounded on all sides?’

Surprisingly, however, there is an escape route.

The portal we rode up.

Kyle didn’t just talk for fraud, there must have been some who rode it and ran away to the first floor.

Escape is always an attractive option.

Especially if your life is at stake.

“…How about going down to Yandel and doing some maintenance!”

A warrior exclaims as if advising me.

But did Kyle hear this through the Message Stone?

[Absolutely not. Anyway, we’ll have to come up again to avoid him , but then they won’t wait for

us to form.

It was pointless.

Because I didn’t even think about that.

0 and 1 are different.

And if my and Kyle’s judgment is right.

No matter how you look at it, 1 is this way.

We have to fight here somehow.

so that.

“How about a melter pen?”

Ask about another battlefield that could be a variable.

However, there was no positive response this time either.

[I’m holding on well, but it seems difficult to win in a short time.]

Yes, that’s right.

“…Bjorn!!”

When I looked to the side in surprise, I saw a suicide bomber approaching me, within reach.

“Dertu Teiran!”

Fortunately, in time, Raven used the ‘gust’ magic to push the suicide bomber away.

Pew-!

A suicide bomber that explodes bodily fluids with a loud sound.

The same corpses did not suffer much damage, but the Noark explorers who came as reinforcements were different.

Chii Iik-!

Those who were nearby just flowed down, and even those who splashed just one drop turned white and stumbled.

Somehow the taste was bitter.

Whether it’s Lapdonia or Noark, treating people as expendables is the same.

“Then what about the Annihilator?”

The conversation continued without a moment to catch a breath.

Perhaps the most important information for your current situation.

“Can you kill me?”

[Now that the magic circle is complete, let’s try it. But…]

Kyle blurted out his words.

It seems that I have no confidence.

[Sorry. I thought I caught up, but the gap was wider than before.]

I didn’t have the heart to say anything.

If this man had escaped through the dimension door in the first place, he wouldn’t have come this far. Besides, the Annihilator was an insane level wizard, even from my point of view.

[Still, as I said before, you can buy some time. I’ll try to feed it somehow. Even at the cost of my life.]

His words suddenly reminded me of Dwalki.

“Are you referring to that awakening magic?”

[…similar.]

“Are you okay?”

[If you were afraid of the price, you wouldn’t have stayed here. It’s the moment I’ve been longing for. And since they’ve been improving for a long time, they don’t necessarily lose their lives.]

“…I see.”

I didn’t even say that I didn’t have to do that even empty words.

That’s just a pretense…

“Aaaaa!!”

Who is there who does not fight with his life in this place?

Even I am doing it.

For example, if I collapse right away, people will be sad but not surprised.

Because it was such a battle.

[Then what will you do now?]

I laughed at Kyle’s cautious question.

No matter what question this man asks, does he do this?

[It might be better to come back here and fight together—.]

“That’s it.”

I sternly cut off his words.

As Noark’s explorers came to reinforce, they were now pushed back in quantity, but…

“Nothing has changed.”

Kyle Pevrosk the Annihilator.

Melter Fend is that wolf.

“We take on the body collectors.”

[I thought so.]

A chuckle was heard through the message stone.

“Why are you laughing? Do you think we can’t?”

[No, I don’t mean that. It’s because I remembered what you said earlier.]

What I said?

[Didn’t it be said that warriors smile when they are tired? Now put a wizard in there too.]

Well, our warriors laugh a little more cheerfully.

“If you show me a more manly smile next time.”

[Next…….]

Ah, was it a bit like a joke in this situation?

I regretted it a little, but soon a much lighter voice was heard.

[Yes, it’s not bad to have a follow up. You know what? When I go back, I will start writing a book. A book about my life. It’s been a dream since I was little.]

“I’ll read it when I get a chance.”

[It’s an honor. If I were to write a book, could I write the words you said and put them in?]

“Text?”

[I mean, warriors laugh when things get tough. Oddly enough, those words keep lingering in my head.]

Uh, those were just random words.

It’s embarrassing to take it so seriously.

But if I could go back, what would I not allow?

“Write or not, do as you please.”

Kyle laughed out loud at my answer. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Haha is that so? Then there will be no problem now.]

It was a much more cheerful laugh than before.

***

The current battle structure is a bit complicated.

First of all, the long-distance dealer line of the expedition is concentrated around the portal.

And the warriors are blocking it.

Originally, it was only necessary to block the corpse in the front, but it became like this because Noark Explorer attacked from behind.

‘It must taste like dying over there too.’

While regrouping, Melter Fend and his clanmates were left in the middle of the battlefield as they ran the werewolf raid.

I don’t know, but maybe it’s as hard as we are.

We are also separated from the main unit to go catch the corpse collector.

It can be considered as a kind of outpost.

Well, in that sense, an intermediate check.

“Raven! How many people?”

“Huh? I think there are about 40 people!”

After that, a lot of people died during that time.

At first, it seemed like there were well over a hundred people—.

Shaaaaaa-!

Suddenly, a light emanated from the ground.

A huge red magic circle that covered the entire battlefield in an instant.

“…It’s a space magic spell!”

Raven was the first to read the spell.

But that’s all she found out.

Kyle’s calm voice came through the message stone.

[Don’t be surprised. It’s just that the time has come.]

“Then, is there anything wrong with the plan?”

[Yes, I thought that old man would definitely use this magic.]

I was relieved at that.

If the destroyer uses space magic, will he use his mana in reverse to use another magic?

It was roughly such a plan, but I’m not a wizard, so I don’t know the detailed principle.

This was not implemented in the game either.

It must have been a limitation of the 2D game format.

But…

‘I’ll have to prepare soon.’

You have to think that it will work properly and move.

Otherwise, there is no answer.

Shaaaaaaa-!

Soon, the light emitted from the magic circle reached its limit, and everything in front of my eyes turned pure white.

and that moment.

[I’ll be back.]

I heard Kyle’s voice once more.

Flash-!

A dazzling flash covered the battlefield.

“Kyle Pevrosque cast [Parallel System], a level 2 time-space magic.”

Tinnitus ringing in my ears.

When I open my eyes, I see an unchanging battlefield with blurry vision.

I muttered briefly.

“Is Kyle a success?”

No answer came.

That means the magic worked.

By now, Kyle should have started going 1:1 with the Annihilator in a virtual space based on a goblin forest.

I wish I could win and come back, but

…

Kyle thought he could at least buy him some time.

Something has to be done on this side as well.

“What one! Run!”

After stopping at the pure white flash, for a moment, he led the detached team and continued to break through.

The advance was much easier as the destructive scholars’ checks were removed.

how long has it been like that

‘This should be enough.’

The target distance was reached within no time.

There is no need to break through at the risk of one’s life any longer.

Therefore, I entrusted the detached corps to Teterud, who was piercing the road together.

“Teterud, now take the rest of you and go back.”

“Then I’ll leave him alone.”

The situation has already been cleared and communication has ended.

“Hey, did you hear? We’re going to finish here and go back!”

“But doesn’t that look easy?”

“Well, Yandel will take care of this!”

“let’s go!!”

Soon, Teterud led the remaining group and moved to the Melter Fend.

Even if it’s too much to go here, I’ll go there.

Once it arrives, it will also help us catch the werewolf.

“Come on, everyone, get on board.”

As soon as my words dropped, Misha quickly jumped up and landed on my shoulder in the [Giant] state.

“Are we really going alone?”

Then Einar.

“Oh! I think I know why Aruru rides me!”

It was not the size to put on my shoulder, but I wrapped my left arm around my waist and held it.

“Excuse me.”

Raven, who got off the summoned Ungi, was on Misha’s lap.

“…This feels very strange.”

The tallest man, Mr. Bear, strangled me and hung from behind.

And…

“So it really feels like we’ve become a team!”

Finally, Erwen sat on my right shoulder.

Huh, it seems like it has become a real means of transportation.

The car was just about to start.

“wait for a sec.”

Daria caught me.

There was something that I could guess for some reason, so I nailed it in advance.

“I told you beforehand, but I can’t send Erwen.”

No matter how much I use my sister’s status, I can’t give her anything.

The key to this strategy is Erwen.

“That’s not it. I’m going too.”

“what?”

Yes, you also have regrets.

“…What are those eyes?”

“It’s nothing. Come here.”

I quickly stretched out my remaining arm and wrapped it around Daria’s waist and hugged her.

[Geueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!]

“Kill him! Just kill that guy and you’re done!”

The corpse summoned by the clown and the explorers on the second floor of Noark were gathering in real time.

I slightly bent my knees and checked the front.

Between the clown and me, there are more than a hundred explorers of Noark, and more than that, there are legions of corpses, but… ‘It

‘s about 60m long.’

After finishing the distance check one more time, I bent my knees more as if I was pressing a spring.

And…

“Hold on tight.”

This time, instead of jumping low, jump as hard as you can.

「The character has cast [Leap].」

In an instant, the body flew up and the battlefield could be seen at a glance.

“I’m flying!! I’m flying!!”

Melter Fend raiding wolves in a siege formation.

Teterud started running in that direction.

main body of the center.

Even the clown who was watching me from a safe place far away to the climax.

“Uh uh…….”

The moment he reached the highest height within.

Someone pulled my hair as hard as they could.

Should I make something to hold onto the armor later?

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

The body that flew in a parabola quickly crashed. The clown sitting on top of the corpse monster looked at me and reversed the pet.

No, now come and do it?

If you’re going to kite, make it harder.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

A body slammed into the ground like a cannon ball.

「The total weight of the character is over 500kg.」

「The special terrain effect [Recoil] is applied in addition to the damage range.」

Due to the [Recoil], the remnants of Noark and the corpses around the clown rise into the air at once.

Oh, except for the corpse monster the clown was riding on.

I didn’t even budge that the weight exceeded 500.

Of course, it was a minor problem.

“I didn’t expect to eat Manticore’s essence. Fisit!”

The clown still looks at me with relaxed eyes.

Rather, it looks enjoyable.

I’d like to have a few words of conversation, but I hurriedly ended [Magnificent].

A body that shrinks in a short period of time.

“Aww!!”

All of my co-workers who were clinging to me also fell out, and the clown said in an exaggerated tone, seeing me like that.

“Oh my gosh! Did you really use up all your MP?

It sucks to use up all your MP.

Well, if you see him beaten up in person, he’ll give up on that stupid tone someday.

“Erwen.”

“Ah yes!”

As soon as the name was called, Erwen used his supernatural ability.

「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia has cast [Elementalization].」

[Elementalization].

It is the ability of Evan, a 5th grade monster, and a skill that had a very unique concept in [Dungeon and Stone].

The effect is simple.

The caster becomes a spiritual body and becomes immune to physical damage.

And…

「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia proposes a ‘contract’ to the character.]

By making a contract with one person, you temporarily share various powers.

[Hold my hand, mister.]

A voice that sounds like something out of this world.

Like a possessed person, I took Erwen’s outstretched hand.

That was the moment.

Roaring!

Strong flames bloom and devour the whole body as if to protect it.

Named Elemental Barbarian (Fire) Mode.

“Turn off Erwen’s light.”

[…Yes? Oh, right!]

Did you think of what I said before?

Erwen quickly changed his attributes.

support position.

The already thick skin cracked like dry ground and became thicker.

“The spirit of the earth dwells in the character’s body.”

“Damage received from fire attributes is reduced by half.” “

Damage taken from water attributes is doubled.”

“Poison immunity bonus.”

“Destroys when using blunt weapons. A strong correction is added to the action.」

「Physical resistance greatly increased……」

「……」

Cancer men are rocks.
