Chapter 222
What would the original me be like?
Little Lee Han-soo, who spent most of his childhood in a hospital, was an ordinary child.
admired the hero
I believed that one day I would become a special person.
But that kid learned while living.
Feelings are just feelings.
In the end, the ones who can live with a smile even at the end are the ones who thought and acted rationally.
That’s why…….
‘Misha Einar Raven Bear Mister.’
I put my priorities in my head again.
No matter what happens, I will bring them back alive.
But even with that resolution.
Cacan!
Raise your shield to block the claws of the beast that was aiming at your comrades.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah ah! Thank you……”
I don’t want to let go of this desire that heated up my heart and head to save even one more person.
My head is hot.
As much as the breath I exhale now.
Was I this hot?
“Dabers, if you’re tired, go back and rest.”
“……That’s not going to happen.”
“……?”
“Until you go to rest.”
Why are all the warriors so foolish?
If this is the case, I find myself thinking that I am fortunate to have given my full name, even though I shouldn’t have asked for it.
So let go of the doubt.
Let go of your regrets.
Like I really became a game character, I only think of one thing.
Shield Baba made to protect his comrades.
Bjorn Yandel followed that upbringing method.
What can he do best?
no what do i have to do
I know the answer.
「The body regenerates quickly due to the recovery (upper) effect.」 It
still maintains its rags as if walking a tightrope with only potions.
Even knowing that I could be much safer if I received the priest’s care.
They don’t ask for heals instead of potions.
Orc hero’s passive skill [Hero’s Path] that increases defense stats as health decreases.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
The more I burn my vitality.
I get tighter
Then more people can be saved, and those who survive will help overcome the remaining difficulties in the future.
Yes, so…
“Almost there!!”
This is a reasonable choice.
Let’s believe and move on.
***
About 9 hours have passed since I left the center.
For the first two hours, we ran as hard as we could, as if we were speedrunning, and for the remaining seven hours, we had to break through the ‘fog of the abyss’ to open the way.
There was a lot of damage.
There were such terrible things that it would be difficult to put an end to them in just a few sentences.
But…
“Arrived.”
Eventually we reached our first destination.
yes to the first destination.
[How is it, is the portal open?]
I tried to answer calmly, swallowing my saliva.
“No, the portal is destroyed.”
It was a scene of destruction that greeted us at the place we arrived beyond countless corpses and blood.
There was nothing there where the tombstone was and the portal was supposed to be open.
Kwak.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, and I’ve been angry at the thought.
Even though so many warriors died.
Even though each of them had a family and had precious things that could not be discarded.
[It was a waste of time.]
“…….”
[Come to your senses. Aren’t there still two portals left? I have to choose where to go.]
I forcibly suppress my overflowing emotions and cool my head as much as possible.
And think.
north or south
[Please make a decision as quickly as possible.]
I don’t even have time to think leisurely.
Even at this time, the battle continues.
“Don’t burden Yandel. How do you choose them? It’s just luck.”
“Haha, originally a warrior is judged by his heart, not his head!”
“Whichever choice you make, we will follow.”
“Even if it’s the wrong choice, no one can blame you. If there’s such a bastard, I’ll split his head with my axe.”
The warriors who crossed the line of fire several times in a short period of time spoke words of comfort to me.
They’re amazing guys.
Everyone can laugh while doing that look.
food.
I closed my eyes.
‘There is only one chance now.’
Realistically, it is impossible to check all three portals.
We judged that we would have a chance up to number 2 both in terms of time and power, and set the east as our first destination.
There were several reasons.
1. If you choose east, you can choose between north and south, even if you lose your first chance.
Once you get new information during the expedition, it is possible to change the route.
2. Abyssal Blade Wolf is less picky than other monsters.
It is also the path with the least damage.
Also…….
3. If it’s the beast’s den, it’s hard for Noark to build a siege formation.
It was thought that this side would be better if there was a battle.
You can use the strategy of going down to the first floor at the end of the 7th day after enduring against the wall in three directions.
‘……Shit.’
After sorting this out, I realized one thing belatedly.
‘It must have been a poor judgment from the beginning.’
From my point of view, it made sense to choose the east side.
But what about on the other side?
‘I was short of thoughts.’
I made plans only in my favor.
If it succeeds, it’s the best for me.
I acted with the best situation in mind.
Even though it’s clear that everyone is the same.
‘Where would they choose?’
I asked myself again.
Which portal is the most advantageous for Noark?
The answer came quickly.
‘North.’
Goblin Forest.
Even if you think about it, there is no better option than here for them.
There are three grounds in total.
1. Abyss Goblin is the most difficult of the four monsters on the 1st floor.
To pass this path, many sacrifices are bound to follow.
2. Siege is possible because there is no terrain to act as a wall.
Even combat is advantageous.
More than anything…….
3. Goblin Forest is the shortest distance from the 3rd floor.
This is the most important part.
Those who stopped exploring the labyrinth for six months must be suffering from food shortages. After this operation was over, he would have gone upstairs to collect magic stones.
Isn’t everyone in this world efficient?
‘Stupid bastard.’
I already knew about the food crisis.
That’s why I thought there wouldn’t be that many people waiting in front of the second floor.
So I believed in it and came up with this plan.
However, I couldn’t relate it to the goblin forest.
Even though I ran the simulation again and again.
‘What is one of the three? I guess I just wanted an easy way.’
I curse at my own stupidity.
However, rather than blaming himself, he takes out the message stone and holds it in his hand.
Kwak.
This is not the time to be crumbling alone.
The water has already spilled.
So the important thing now is what to do next.
“We’re going north.”
When the decision was announced through the Message Stone, Kyle’s voice was heard.
[It’s a goblin forest…….]
“Is there anything you want to say?”
[No, actually, if you don’t choose anything, I was thinking of recommending that place first. I’ve only thought about it now, but I’m suspicious of that.]
Yes, you must have had the same thoughts as me.
I wish I had realized a little bit sooner.
me and this uncle
‘It’s okay, the complaint ends here.’
Trusting me, I led the entire group to this place and resumed my movement.
“Get ready. We’ll start again.”
The destination is the Goblin Forest in the north.
“Ha, rest is over now.”
“Let’s go. Taking a break is enough to go out.”
Instead of breaking the formation and going back the way they came, they turned around and moved as if they were taking a detour.
“purr……!”
“Kyaaaaaagh!”
Cubs of beasts appear without fail after leaving the portal.
I opened the way by fighting bloody battles with them again.
and how long has it been
“Greuk geureuk!!”
Slowly, the Abyssal Goblins began to appear.
It means that you have moved a considerable distance from the eastern district where the razor wolf appears.
“Grrruk.”
A dwarf physique that is no different than usual.
However, the goblin, whose skin was dark enough to be ominous, stared at me.
“Kreuk kreuk kreuk!”
The guy was laughing.
Just like when I first fell into this cave.
“Prepare for battle!”
From now on we will walk the hard way.
***
Tier 9 Monster Goblin.
There’s nothing wrong with these pups.
Just be careful of the traps, and even those traps can be neutralized with a pair of proper boots.
But… A 5th grade goblin with Abyss in front of
「Killed Abyss Goblin + EXP 5」
is different.
These damn cubs are transformed into more demanding beings than trolls.
「The Abyss Goblin has cast [Random Trap].」
Active skill [Random Trap].
The effect is simple.
clap.
When stepped on, a random skill of 5th grade or lower is cast on the target.
Oh, by the way, things like buffs are excluded.
Only attack and curse-type skills are activated.
Roaring-!
The moment the sound of the trap being triggered was heard, the body of one of the warriors was covered in flames.
I knew what it was as soon as I saw it.
[Extinction]
Among the 5th grade skills, it is one of the highest single deals.
“Jegiraaaal!! Priest! Priest Shinwaaan—!”
The priest who had been crying out so much was putting heel as soon as the flames started, but it was useless.
dump.
The warrior who had been clearing the road on the front line for over two hours was charred and collapsed.
A truly pointless death.
That’s the damn thing about Abyss Goblins.
“Kreuk keureuk keureuk!!”
No matter what breeding method you take, there will always be a counter attribute, but a random attack?
If you are unlucky, you have no choice but to go to the goal in one shot.
But in the midst of that…
“I’m fucking crazy.”
It is impossible to detect the Abyssal Goblin’s traps with the naked eye or magic.
that you just have to step on.
“I can’t go any more. I’m sorry.”
The warrior who returned after being healed smiled even after his arm was ripped off by a razor wolf, stepped back. It’s
not that I don’t understand.
If I was weak and couldn’t avoid the enemy’s attack, I wouldn’t know if I got hurt. If I’m just unlucky,
I can die?
Even for a warrior who has overcome adversity, it will be difficult to overcome psychological fear.
Therefore…
“I will go first.” I
go first.
I am not without fear, but
I have a noble mindset enough to smile and sacrifice for everyone. “You guys
, follow me.”
There is no answer because everyone is scared.
In the end, that choice will kill everyone including me.
That’s why it’s necessary in this situation.
A snap .
Overcome fear and take the first step. The person who steps in.
Yes, there should be at least one person.
“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
20 step
interval, overcoming the fear. ”
Clap. The trap is triggered.
「The character’s energy is greatly reduced.」
Curse series Debuff:
“The character’s body burns hot and regenerative ability is temporarily sealed.”
Continuous flame attack [Leech Flame].
“The cold damage taken by the character is temporarily greatly increased.
” .Kwakkwak
!
Real thunderbolt.All
kinds of skills stacked on me.But
I went ahead.Believe
in the +200 exorcism
I set with the manticore.Believe that the first step I took will never be
meaningless.Clap.Continue
. I took a step, and
before
I knew it, I heard people’s voices in the distance.
But that time wasn’t long
. Then I’ll go.”
“Damn me! Why am I…”
Those who have passed those who have stopped and fallen follow me.
“We are following the great warrior!!”
“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
It started with a barbarian.
“Haha! Didn’t you say you had a family? A single person like me should do this.”
The leader who lost the team.
“…This must also be fulfilling the duties of the royal family. I will stand next.”
Abandoned knight.
“I will turn. It’s the first time I’ve ever done this before.”
“Ha, really, how did you get me out of here?”
“I’ve felt it since before, but you’re a real madman.”
The murmur grows. I
can feel the presence of a colleague right behind me.
However, I didn’t look back.
The person I need here today Not the one who doubts and is anxious. The
one who advances silently
. I think someone will admit that!! uh? A hero?”
Without blaming the person who
collapsed. In the end, someone has to do it.”
Together with those who rose again.
Clap.
Move forward.
In order not to throw anything away anymore.
***
When I came to my senses, Einar was
carrying me. I didn’t ask.
This was already the third time.
Stepping on a trap and stepping on it and passing out after
stepping on it again. “How long has it
been ?
” I left Einar’s worries behind and got off at Einar.
I saw Kyle.
This man would tell me.
“How long has it been?”
” I’ll be there in the next two hours
.
”
The situation where the divine power had already run out.
Indeed, how many more died in front of me while I was gone.
“Mr……..”
I was about to move on, but Erwen grabbed my wrist.
“You can’t go. …..?”
“…….”
“Anyway, other people are opening the way now. Yes?”
These words are terribly selfish and captivating.
Also, if it were me in the past, I would have thought it would be reasonable.
But…
“I have to go.” “Why… why
do you go that far?”
I’m sick of it.”
I have a high level of exorcism.
That’s why I only fainted after stepping on the trap hundreds of times.
It’s only a 5th grade skill.
Even without [Gigantification], my body was very strong.
That’s what I realized, but at least I I won’t die from this madness.
So…….
“Get out of the way.”
I push Erwen away and head to the front.
My comrades no longer catch me.
As soon as I increase my speed, I rejoin the front line. ” I came
again without getting tired of it.”
A passage blocked by almost 200 warriors.
I gathered all the warriors at random without dividing into 1/3 groups, and this happened. This
is different
from the Razor Wolf district. If given, the enemy coming out of the side road is not very dangerous.
The condition is 5th grade or higher.
Among them, the defense value must be high.
A melee warrior was also accepted, but non-warrior occupations were thoroughly excluded.
The characteristic of the abyss goblin is that one trap No.
They use throwing weapons.
The name is ‘monster bag’.
When thrown, it explodes and a random monster of 5 or lower appears.
That’s right in front of you.
An environment that frail spellcasters and archers whose life is distance control cannot withstand. “……Is that the priest who was carried over there?” “Ah
,
just stay still. He faints while using his holy power.”
For reference, it’s not just the priest
who was carried on his back. Warriors who fell back with serious injuries and gasped for potions are carried on their shoulders two by two.
Perhaps when he comes to his senses, he will wake up and carry another warrior on his back. ”
I see. If you wake up, stop it by force. We have to save it for when we really need it.”
“But this priestess is so stubborn that she never listens to us?” ”
Then why
don’t we just knock her out before then?
” Despite the words, the warrior nodded as if convinced.
”
Then I’ll go first.”
I nodded and tried to move forward, but the warriors shoved me away with their shoulders.
Wait a minute, I am now Did you get a shoulder strap?
First experience waking up in this body.
“…… What is this?”
I asked, and the warriors naturally shrugged their shoulders.
“Can’t you see we’re waiting in line here?
” Amman, even if you are the captain, you must protect what you protect.” “Bjorn Yandel
, how do you think you’re a hero?”
What?
No, what the hell is this bullshit
?
Yandel.”
“Because you deserve it.”
Huh, I don’t know whether to be happy with this situation or not.
While I was watching the situation for a moment,
I heard a commotion in front of
” That stop
!!”
This must have happened.
“Get out of the way.”
I hurriedly passed the warriors and moved forward.
This time, even the panicked warriors didn’t stop.
“Huh huh?”
“Wait!”
“Yandel? Why are you here?”
“I told you to let me rest…”
As I reached the forefront, familiar explorers greeted me. But there was something to be solved before their question.
What the hell was the fuss about?
There’s no need to ask. The answer was right in front of my eyes.
“Anyway, welcome. Yandel That’s what the wizard said, right?”
Across the aisle,
huge eyes staring at me, blinking in the light-eating darkness.
“Yes, I think that’s right.”
I sighed and nodded.
What can I do with denial?
As long as we met those eyes, it was as if we were certain to meet Berzak, the lord of the abyss.
Yes, it was a miracle that we had not met until now.
“Now,
what are we going to do ?
” .”
I picked up my mace and stepped forward.
Even as I approached with my weapon, those huge eyes just twitched and didn’t back down.
It was a pretty unpleasant look.
Therefore…
‘Is this your first time seeing a barbarian?’
You put the mace into your eyes as hard as you could.
Kwajik -!
Like a 9th grade token monster, the eyes that become light and disappear in one hit.
「You defeated the watcher of the abyss +EXP 1」
「Bezak, the lord of the abyss, has a strong interest in you. After waking up, I
will suffer again after waking up.
I took out the message stone and gave an after-action report to
Kyle .
