STGB Chapter 276

Episode 276 Whirlwind (2)

The line between life and death.

The line is sometimes drawn slowly, sometimes in an instant.

In the explorer job, it is mostly the latter.

Quite a few injuries can be healed with potions or holy power. Unless you suffer instant death injuries or your team is wiped out, you usually survive.

Well, it’s not like this isn’t the case.

“Oh, please wake up.”

A situation where potions or holy power do not work.

There are occasional situations like that.

Tim Banpunyi’s sorceress Liole Warb Dwalki.

As he approached his final death, he left a will for the rest of them, and at that time, Misha and his colleagues had to feel a deep sense of loss.

Of course, there were distinct differences between then and now.

“Huh? A woman who doesn’t even know this name. Please……”

Not a precious colleague, just a stranger.

Besides, it’s not even a certain death like Dwalki’s.

There remains a chance to overcome the ordeal and survive.

At the crossroads of life and death, it was completely up to this red-haired woman and Misha to decide where to go.

“Oh wake up!!”

Misha shouted as if expressing her crampedness and swung her sword roughly. At the tip of the sword were monsters from the sea.

Slow-!

An enemy that continues to appear even after slashing, stabbing, and slashing again.

Now, Misha was also at her limit.

If he didn’t leave this place right away, something could have happened that he wouldn’t be able to meet Bjorn forever.

However, carrying that woman on his back was impossible.

Now, the injury has healed to some extent and my breathing has stabilized, but…

I’m sorry!

How could he carry that woman on his back in this situation of monsters everywhere?

At least that woman should be able to come to her senses and walk along, even slowly, in order to open the way.

“No, I’m really at my limit now…!”

Misha shouted again, hoping that this urge would reach that woman’s unconscious.

It was then.

“You are…”

The woman lying like a corpse opened her eyes.

“As if this happened! How can I move my body?”

Misha asked with admiration, but the woman only muttered as if organizing the current situation in her head.

“I see, did you protect me until now…….”

“Yeah! But I’m having a hard time too? Huh? I need to go to a safe place quickly. Can I do that?”

The answer came back after a very short interval.

“I can’t move.”

“What?”

“But if it’s this monster, it can be solved. Take out the thing I told you about from my pocket.”

The words of a calm voice that could not be seen as a dying person.

At that, Misha stopped blocking the monster and quickly stepped back and opened the expandable pouch on the woman’s belt.

And the woman took out the thing she said.

“Scroll? What the hell is this scroll?”

“Death Declaration.”

Misha was genuinely surprised.

It’s not just a magic scroll, but a scroll with divine power? How did this woman get a precious thing that can’t even be produced anymore?

A lot of questions lingered, but they didn’t matter.

“Ah, if there was something like this, tell me before you lose your mind…!”

Misha hurriedly tore the scroll, and immediately a translucent barrier filled with divine energy blocked the monsters.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been given a break.

“Ehh, I’m going to live for a bit now. Hey, so what’s your relationship with Bjorn?”

Misha quickly approached the woman and asked what she had been curious about.

But…

“I’m with that barbarian…”

“…so with the barbarian?”

“…….”

“…What? Isn’t it? You’re not sleeping. Huh? No! Let’s finish talking and go to bed…!!”

Unknowingly, Misha, who shook the woman’s shoulder, realized midway that she was injured and stopped.

Then he sighed and sat down on the floor.

As my body became more livable, I began to worry about my former colleagues again.

“……Is everyone okay?”

Then a strong wind blew from the sea.

A chilly wind that is sticky enough to be humid and even embraces the salty smell of the sea.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.

For some reason, I felt strangely anxious today.

***

Weapon-to-arms combat to kill each other.

Injuries in such battles are common.

Even if it’s not anyone’s fault or mistake.

So explorers fall easily into superstition.

They know it too.

Injuries during battle are inevitable, and the severity of those injuries sometimes depends on ‘luck’.

“Mr. Yandel, Ms. Urikfried…!”

It was similar to what happened to Mr. Bear today.

Drake’s claw broke Partzran’s sword as he was fighting on the front lines.

And the broken blade flew and got stuck in the body.

There was no mistake of my own.

If I had been more nimble, I would have been able to see and dodge, but I don’t usually see it as a mistake.

You’d be right to say you weren’t lucky.

“Blood…! The blood won’t stop…!”

For some, even if they fall from the 10th floor, coincidences will overlap, but for someone, they will lose their lives just by slipping.

[Dungeon and Stone] was a game that faithfully followed the aspect of such an absurd reality, and I was also very attracted to that aspect.

Until I open my eyes in this body.

“Priestess! Hurry up and get treatment…!”

Anyway, the problem was where the blade passed.

The heart was deflected, but the sharp fragment pierced the lungs and not only penetrated it.

Penetrating wounds cause the most bleeding.

Even the intestines were injured.

「Laylin Ersina cast [Healing].」

The priestesses used the remaining divine power to pour healing, but it was meaningless.

「The current target is designated as [Dragon’s Offering].」

「All regeneration effects do not apply.」

Active skill of Drake, a 5th grade monster.

That damn summoner walked away as soon as he saw Mr. Bear’s injury.

“Where are you looking, Barbarian?”

Shit.

Quaang-!

I want to run right away and check Mr. Bear’s details, but I don’t have the time.

And this is the same thing over there.

“I will be watching Mr. Abman, so everyone focus on fighting!”

Realizing that there was nothing they could do for Mr. Bear, who was wandering between death and near death, they had no choice but to entrust him to Erwen and go into battle again.

However, the situation was not good.

“…….”

The absence of wizard Hans J.

That alone is fatal, but Patsran, who was trying too hard to fill the void, lost his weapon.

But in the meantime, misfortune overlapped again, and fragments of the broken sword penetrated Mr. Bear, further reducing the number of combatants.

“Did you say Nebarce?”

“That’s right…”

“I’ll return this bow here. You fight too.”

“……Are you all right?”

“You wouldn’t want to die here either.”

Erwen tried to give Nebarce a weapon, but the situation was still the same.

“Let’s go, Yong-yong! Cheer up a little more!”

Grade 5 Monster Drake.

In addition, even summoners who have been coated with secondary essences to strengthen their summons or support them from a distance.

Just looking at Amman, the difficulty level of the battle is very high.

In fact, at that point, fighting a 4th grade monster is no better, but in the meantime, our condition was not enough to even say shit.

Erwen ran out of MP and spirit power, and the priest’s divine power was consumed as soon as it was full.

Even Partzran, who was in charge of the vanguard, lost his sword.

If an archer is added, the war situation will change drastically or it will not be possible.

‘It must be difficult to ask for help from the other side.’

It’s bittersweet, but I had to admit it now.

Things have changed.

So the strategy needs to be revised again.

Originally, I was going to go to a long battle while checking the opponent’s essence one by one as safely as possible, but…

‘I don’t have time.’

Mr. Bear won’t last long.

You need to finish the battle as quickly as possible so that Drake’s skill is unlocked.

And for this purpose…….

‘I have to give up what I have to give up.’

It takes a bit of determination.

what to give away and what to get

I have already done all the calculations.

If so, what about the opponent?

“You’ve become very urgent because your teammates are getting hit, Barbarians!”

What could he give up to stop me, smiling arrogantly as if he had already won?

‘I’ll find out soon.’

It roars and kicks the ground.

“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

As usual, there is no vitality that wraps around the body immediately after shouting. It was only natural that he had no MP to use [Wild Eruption].

However, the protection of the ancestors will be with you.

Because our ancestors care about warriors who run wild.

um or not

Whiik-!

As soon as the distance narrowed, the guy stabbed his sword.

This has happened several times during the battle so far.

When he stabs his sword, I raise my shield to block it.

With that alone, my turn is wasted, and he roughly inserts a knife into his forearm or thigh and widens the distance.

That was the pattern a little while ago.

But…

‘Yeah, I won’t stop.’

Watching the stabbing sword, I swung the mace without lifting the shield.

So now it’s his turn to choose.

So what are you going to do?

“……!”

Confused by the sudden change in the battle structure, he hurriedly stepped back while retrieving his sword.

Like a big man, let’s give and take each other.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

It was a case that I expected in my heart, so as soon as he opened the distance, he kicked the floor and turned.

Towards the place where Drake with the summoner is.

‘jump.’

[Leap] while using the recovered MP for just one round.

Whoop-!

A cloud of dust spreading out along the landing area.

There was no special terrain effect ‘recoil’ because it was not in the [Giant] state.

It wasn’t the important part.

[That’s right?]

Drake opens his mouth as he sees me appearing from the other side of the forest.

It’s a bad breath or a baby.

Poo-!

As soon as our eyes met, I hit the muzzle with my mace.

[Gweek-!]

His head turned wide, but it was not a meaningful blow to a monster that is classified as a medium or large sized monster.

But what do you mean?

In the first place, my purpose was that woman who was sitting on top of me with an annoyed look on her face.

“Oh really! I can’t stop him!!”

He kicks off the ground again and bounces like a spring.

And at that moment.

Fuuk.

A sword pierces his back.

Look at it, it’s that bastard

from earlier. Did you close the distance already?

“Why now ? Wow!!”

The summoner shouted as if looking at me stiff as the sword pierced my lungs.

I could only wonder at that action.

“Why?”

Do

you think I won’t be able to move

?

While being pierced by the sword, I take a step forward.

And at the same time.

Whoa!

I slash the mace I was holding from top to bottom.

The target is the crown of that summoner who has been whining all along.

Fuuk!

The sword stuck in his back is pulled out. His body flinched, but his arm did not stop.

However, at that moment,

he stabbed the sword he had retrieved again.

Fuuk!

The part dug into was the elbow holding the mace.

Not only the skin, but also the joints were shattered, and the strength in the grip was

loosened

. I’ve fought a lot with him, and I

‘ve been known to bet. What’s mutual?

‘Flesh Explosion.’

I boldly gave up my arm that I couldn’t use anyway. I

recognized the [acidic bodily fluid] while fighting, but didn’t know that

my

body would burst

?

I groan and step back.

This is why Corpse Golem Essence is good.

It’s a rare Essence, so few people know about it.

Using HP as a cost instead of MP is also quite useful in this case.

Chucky.

The mace I was holding at that time fell and fell to the floor. It

was a good problem.

If not as much as the mace, the shield is also a great weapon.

Poop!

Soon after, the summoner who was struck by the shield cackled out of the saddle and rolled on the floor.

One arm was bent in a strange way.

It was a little disappointing.

If it was a head, it would have been possible to die instantly.

Of course, Drake struggled at that time and was unable to break the dainty head

.

If I fell seven times, I jumped off Drake’s back imitating a barbarian who laughed eight times.

But

what

is this again?

Whoa !

It was fast, but not just bad news. Fu-

wook-

!

Drake took the broken sword on the chest

.

After struggling, it soon became light and disappeared.

Finally, the summoning was released.

The abnormal condition would have been resolved, so now the bear could be healed with divine power.

For now, the first of what I wished for has been accomplished.

Quaang -!

With that thought in mind, I hurriedly stood up on the floor.

It was just that moment

. A

terrifying

blue sword

was aimed at my throat. I didn’t have the energy to avoid it or avoid it.

However, there was a fortunate part of my misfortune after a long time.

The guy right now can’t kill me.

“Everyone stop! If you don’t want to see her die!”

he shouted at my allies, who then pointed their weapons at the fainted summoner’s throat.

“You take off that sword, if you don’t want to see her die.

” A situation similar to an exchange ceremony.

It was a time when there was such a strange silence.

Turbuck.

Two women appeared from the forest.

“Rain Bjorn…?! What’s wrong with this!!”

One was Misha, whom I

had been looking for so long. “You look quite troublesome, the barbarian.”

One was Amelia Laneways .

Why are

these two together ?

I was soaring as an enemy, but I focused on only one thing. Whether

the appearance of these two was a positive variable or not.

“Amelia Laneways is also alive

.

” All right, help us now.”

“If you’re telling me that after you’ve done that, you mean you have a reason, right?” ”

Of course. I’ve hidden it somewhere on this island. If we die like this, we will be forgotten forever. Do you really want that?”

At that, Amelia frowned.

Having met this woman several times already, I knew right away.

‘Nimiral.’

That’s the expression you make when you’re worried.

Perhaps our fate will be decided by that choice. I stared at Amelia with a voiceless body.

“Belverson Erfner. Do you know of two ways to make people angry?”

“… What?”

The prosecutor gave a bewildered sound at the remark that didn’t fit the situation at

all .

The first is to stop talking in the middle. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard the second one. But I’m just guessing…”

“……Looking at it?”

The prosecutor who bit the bait couldn’t stand it and showed curiosity.

And I was the same.

This woman knew the answer . “…….”

Interest gathered in the strange silence,

and

Amelia continued without batting an

eye .

He hit the back of the head while he was talking.”

Ah.

Tadat.

The moment Amelia finished talking, a chuckle was heard from behind. It was

obvious what it was

.

He pushed me away and turned back.

But…

「Amelia Rain Wales cast [Suragak].」

It was already too

late

. The

swordsman

fell on the floor with his eyes unfocused and muttered, “Why…

do you want

that thing…

” Why…….”

Amelia came forward and pressed her foot on the swordsman’s head.

“It really doesn’t matter if you hide it. Just listen to it from your younger sister. There’s no way that bitch could stand the interrogation.”

She was a very reasonable woman.
