"Percy? Percy!"
The leader urgently called someone's name.
Of course, no answer came.
Because the instructions I gave to Erwen were to shoot the crossbowmen first.
"What the hell did you do?"
Then the leader asked me.
But even so, I was wary of the back, not me, to see if there was anything I expected.
This was a very big mistake.
I don't like bastards who ask questions with a fixed answer.
A lot of it too.
Smash!
The moment the leader's gaze turned to the bush for a moment.
Without hesitation, I dashed forward and swung my shield.
Whoo!
Unfortunately, I couldn't feel the taste.
If it were a goblin to avoid this, it would have become the light of the world and disappeared without fail.
"Illis! Now!"
When the leader called out his name, the samurai dashed at me and launched a flat slash in a disciplined manner.
Kakak!
There is a sound of sparks bouncing off the shield.
Crazy what is this shock? I almost missed the shield.
But apart from being surprised, I rushed towards the three.
It was to give Erwen a clearer chance by dispersing his gaze.
But....
Huung!
Another smash misses.
Is it because he's a second-floor explorer?
Dealing with them, for the first time, the fact that the shield's reach is short is particularly annoying.
But the more I thought about it, the more I closed the distance and aggressively swung my shield.
Then I heard the sound I was waiting for.
Whoa!
Erwen's support fire finally started.
However, the arrows fired did not hit the forehead, neck, legs, or arms. It was because the young man with a sword and shield blocked it with a shield.
"I will block the arrows! Don't mind and deal with the barbarians!"
Somehow, he didn't come alone.
Did you decide to take full responsibility for arrows?
After all, humans are too picky compared to goblins.
bang!
After receiving the samurai's blow with his shield, the leader swung his sword and aimed at my left arm.
Slow-!
Fortunately, I reacted in time, so it's not that deep.
Although it was cut, it doesn't mean much because it's already broken, and it doesn't hurt too much because it's even paralyzed.
"Such a monster…"
The leader murmured as I saw myself not flinching even after my arm was cut.
Shiva, where is my excuse? Ji is cool.
Swearing inwardly, he pushed back his shield and deflected the samurai with force.
Then, once again, support fire was fired.
Whoa!
It was a completely different direction from before, but it was not easy to be far away.
Percussion!
Muldae once again blocks the arrow with his shield.
What kind of outfielder is Ji? Ji dares to block it by throwing her body at another kid.
The car was about to start to get sick of the war situation with no sign of progress.
Roaring!
Like a hedgehog, a shield with arrows will quickly start burning.
"Chew!"
Soon, Muldae, who could not stand the heat, threw the shield with his own hand.
Sorry, our archers are spirit archers.
That's why you should have worn a full iron shield like me, you bastard!
Whoa!
When the annoying shield disappeared, Erwen fired an arrow again without hesitation.
"Aaaagh!"
The place I hit was the shoulder of the far man.
Soon, Muldae lost the sword he was holding and changed his job as a useless youngster.
"Illis! I'll take care of the Fairy Girl!"
Then the leader who grasped the situation entrusted me to the samurai and ran to the bush.
It's already too late to catch up.
Damn....
I guess I have no choice but to trust Erwen.
"Stop giving up, Barbarian."
The samurai steps back and speaks with dignity.
Also, humans are shit like this.
Where are you fake? I can clearly see their intention to buy time until the leader arrives.
Tadat!
As I dash forward and use the smash, the samurai's impression crumples.
"Why are you afraid to be alone?"
"You are not alone!"
I asked a question to the samurai, but the answer was a long way off and stood up.
In his left hand is the one-handed sword that he missed earlier.
By the way....
Huung!
Is it because I'm right-handed? The quality of the knife is very bad.
He handled one shield with great enthusiasm, so why is there no such thing?
puck!
I evaded the attack of the far distance by taking a step back, and I slammed the far distance Murpak with my foot.
Muldae raised a blood clot in his throat and let out a scream.
"Aaaagh!"
Oh, I didn't know it would bend like that.
Muldae collapsed on the floor, holding the area around the bone protruding from the Murpak with both hands.
I even wanted to use this opportunity to finish the distance, but unfortunately it was canceled thanks to the samurai.
Kakak!
Heaviness that does not adapt even if you block several times.
Why is he hanging out with these fuckers?
Do you have any stories?
I don't know, but that would be the biggest mistake of this pup's life.
Whoo!
When I use Smash, the samurai is accustomed to widening the distance and avoiding it.
Immediately, I threw away my shield and reached for another dash.
Name it… Reaching out while pretending to be Smash.
I'm too lazy to name it now. not even fun
"Ouch!"
The expression of the samurai caught by the scruff of the neck is young.
"Isn't this unexpected?"
I pulled the samurai with overflowing force.
Then, instead of using his immovable left arm, he snapped the samurai's neck with his mouth— and then—
!
ripped off
"Ah ah ah…"
The samurai couldn't even scream.
With blank eyes, he covered his neck, which was pouring blood like a fountain, with both hands, and took a step back
.
"mister!"
Did you figure it out on your own?
Shortly after the battle was over, Erwen emerged from the thicket panting.
"mister?"
I spat out the meat in my mouth on the floor and wiped my mouth with my arm.
Shiva is fucking corrupt.
***
The hard battle is over.
Was I the only one who felt that way?
Fortunately, Erwen was as normal as when they parted ways, as if he had finished it before he even went into close combat.
In comparison, I was completely turned into pieces of rags.
"Mister! Drink this quickly."
As I knelt on the floor as my tension was relieved, Erwen poured a potion on me.
Gulp, gulp, gulp....
As if drinking poison, he carefully emptied a bottle of potion.
Erwen explains that although poison is poisonous, it is better to drink it because it is not a concentrated wound.
Anyway, is it because I emptied the whole bottle?
It was completely different from how I usually feel.
"Turn it off."
Something boils in the intestines.
I felt the pain as if small chestnuts were bouncing and rolling through my veins, and my skin itched so hot that I felt like going crazy.
This time went on for over 10 minutes.
"…Uncle, do your best."
Erwen wiped my sweaty body one by one with the previous handkerchief.
Is it because of the poison? Or just because I'm dirty?
I don't know, but the white handkerchief turned completely black.
…I'll have to buy a new one later.
"Okay. It's fine now."
Having become a little fat, I struggled to get up from my seat.
Looking down, I can see the scabs sitting on the large and small wounds from cuts and punctures.
If I messed with one more bottle of potion, this would also disappear, but I decided not to.
"This must be a scar..."
What if a scar remains? I'm a barbarian.
"water."
"Yes yes! Here."
At one word, Erwen quickly rummaged through his bag and took out a canteen.
Feeling like a master.
As I drank the entire bottle in one gulp, my energy gradually began to return.
Was the water that good?
At some point, the veins that stood out all over the body also subsided.
"Take out the watch, please."
With Erwen's help, I checked the time.
And it hardened.
[23:20]
Damn you don't even give me time to rest.
There are only 40 minutes left before the 7th car ends.
If you can't get down to the first floor by then, you'll have to spend three more days in this damn place.
"Take off Erwen's clothes."
"yes yes?"
No, not you, but them.
I didn't have the energy to say anything, so I pointed at the corpses with my hand, and Erwen loosened his hands from closing his front collar.
"No, leave the clothes alone. I don't have time, so I'll just pack my equipment and magic stone pouch backpack."
"yes yes!"
Erwen also moved quickly as if he knew he was running out of time.
"Oh, I'll bring the red-haired man's and the crossbow man's too!"
Yes, be careful not to step on the trap.
While Erwen was away, I took off my samurai helmet.
Throw away the wooden shield that has turned into charcoal, the sword used by the samurai,
chest guard …
And as I was cramming them into my rucksack, Erwen arrived just in time.
"Ugh...."
It looks pretty heavy carrying two backpacks.
But I'm sorry I can't listen to you because there are 3 of them.
Soon I checked the time once more.
[23:35]
Only 25 minutes left.
"Let's run."
"Are you okay? You look exhausted…"
"Never mind."
Erwen looked concerned, but when he saw my expression, he nodded and opened the way.
That's how the marathon started.
"I'll follow you somehow, so speed up as much as possible to open the road."
"yes."
I put Erwen in front first and continued running while adjusting my pace.
My body feels strangely heavy, perhaps because of mental fatigue.
Or is it just because of these backpacks?
…but I can't just throw it away. I went through such high school, but there should be a reward. Wouldn't that be a fair world?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…"
How long had it been?
Before I knew it, I saw a portal in the distance.
Erwen, who arrived first, was waiting for me in front of him.
Her expression of support and pity at the same time was like that of a heroine in a youth cartoon.
Fucking like this, it feels like I'll be left alone.
Feeling anxious for some reason, I spurred on my steps by pulling up the strength I had been suckling.
And…
"Go in first!"
"Eh me too!"
Befitting reality, not a cartoon, he boldly omitted the emotional embrace and entered the portal.
Flash-!
The brilliance that burst out was the same as usual.
But for some reason, I felt the light embrace me.
***
My impression of returning to the first floor was not much different from when I entered the second floor.
The feeling of being thrown out of the stomach by something.
"Kyaa!"
Unfortunately, even then and the result were the same.
no worse?
thud-!
I was almost caught by the hair and thrown as if thrown away, but Erwen landed intact this time as well.
…how the heck is that even possible?
When he was thrown to the second floor, he still floated into the sky and drew a parabola.
My goddamn bones ache.
"This is something fun!"
yes i guess
I think it would be funny if there was a guy like me next to me.
"Huh..."
I got up from my seat while relaxing my stiff body and brushed off the dust.
And I checked the time.
[23:58]
You're really narrowly safe.
I don't want to say I was lucky.
Then there will be too many things to resent the sky for.
If it goes well, it's because of me. If it doesn't go well, it's because of me.
Living with that thought is good for your mental health.
"You've worked hard, mister."
"Yes, you suffered too."
We looked at each other for a moment and said goodbye.
Wait a minute, I feel like I forgot something...
"Distributed spoils!"
"Oh right! Integer!"
Erwen and I shouted at the same time as if we had remembered.
"essence?"
"Yes! You said to promise something earlier!"
Oh yes there was that too.
Now I remembered what I had forgotten.
But there is no time for a long talk.
I quickly checked my watch again.
[23:59]
Looking at the second hand, there are about 15 seconds left.
I quickly closed the watch and looked up at Erwen.
So that… what was his name?
I think it was something black…
"Black whale! Let's meet at the black whale bar!"
"yes!"
Erwen nodded at my urgent cry.
I think it's good to be relieved now—
"The labyrinth is closed."
"The character moves to Lapdonia
. "
