That fog is a poison-type dark spell. It’s not that dangerous since it’s spread out over a wide area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark spell in the form of fog…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then is it [Feast of Evil]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it was just an ordinary fog spell to obscure vision since there was no problem breathing and it covered the entire 1st floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just how many dark mages did they sacrifice?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would have happened if we had decided to endure in the sparsely populated outer areas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…We would have been screwed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how weak it is, the symptoms would have appeared after a few days of exposure.

They couldn’t accommodate everyone in that small space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh, is this military-style civil engineering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s nothing you can’t do when this many people gather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavern, which was about 30 meters in radius, had been expanded to hundreds of times its original size. Tents with clan emblems were pitched throughout the expanded area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight led us to a large tent in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lafdonia royal family’s flag was planted at the entrance, and inside, I saw people having a meeting around a round table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s a meeting of the leaders…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was the royal family’s tent, there weren’t just knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explorers with emblems of famous clans were also present, discussing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reference, there was a familiar face among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you’re…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked at me as if she had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled bitterly and greeted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s good to see you again, Versil Gowland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect to see her again so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are you here…? Did you find a mage who can use teleportation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just waved my arm, which was missing everything but the elbow, instead of answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like she understood what it meant, judging by her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really broke through that path…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versil muttered incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like she didn’t expect us to break through the route they gave up on and even succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it’s not something I can proudly brag about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used a similar method to what she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I discarded what I had to discard, based on priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the small talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man intervened, and silence fell as Versil and I were catching up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, this man is the boss here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Ergos, what are you doing here when you should be on the front lines? And who’s this barbarian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have something to report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I obtained Sir Garfizel’s message ring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Sir Garfizel’s?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. And this is an explorer named Bjorn Yandel, he’s the one who gave me the ring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight handed him the message ring, and the man activated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after some time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Marco Elburn, the captain of the 3rd Royal Knight Order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked at me and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was finally interested in me, who was standing behind the knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll ask you a few questions, will you answer truthfully?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, if the contents of this ring are true, it means the ‘Corpse Collector’ is stationed north of the Goblin Forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few explorers exclaimed, ‘Corpse Collector!’ at his words, but it wasn’t enough to interrupt the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t something I should be concerned about right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what’s your point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it confirmed information?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s confirmed. We fought, although he ran away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fought? May I ask what your team’s rank is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…5th grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight commander touched his chin with a strange expression as I revealed our rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s true, it’s safe to say that he let you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it seemed like his only interest was blocking the 2nd-floor portal. If it weren’t for that, we would have had a hard time escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all you wanted to ask?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, one more thing. From what I heard, it seems like you entered through the path that Sir Ergos was in charge of. Is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to hear the details. Is there a way to avoid them and move?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I would be in this state if there was?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…That’s true. Then can you tell me the details of how you got here? It might be helpful for our strategy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed like my identity as a non-Noark explorer had already been confirmed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…there was no need to refuse and cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I briefly summarized the 20-minute bloodbath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was that enough to convey how desperate our journey was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was an impressive story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight commander’s gaze became more favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clan explorers who were listening to my story were also looking at me with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see the qualities of a commander in you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had those qualities, half of us wouldn’t have died.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I said I see those qualities. All of your companions survived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A good commander isn’t someone who makes perfect choices. It’s someone who makes the choices they have to make.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed like he meant it sincerely, it wasn’t a topic I wanted to talk about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t even happy about the compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t have any more questions, I’d like to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, there’s one more thing I want to ask. The guy you met at the end, did he have a scar on his chin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scar…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight commander laughed as I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought it might be the case since he was using an Adamantium greatsword, but it really was the Serpent Knight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Serpent Knight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s the guy who stabbed his lord’s son with a sword and ran away. He’s a famous guy, don’t you know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he was using Aura, he was a former knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the murmurs of the surrounding explorers, he must have been quite famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, congratulations. Your fame will increase even further since you killed someone like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fame…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, don’t barbarians like that kind of thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t wrong, but I’m different from ordinary barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wouldn’t be bad if my fame increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to obtain permission to enter Karnon, the Imperial City, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I return alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could worry about that later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hasn’t even been a day since the labyrinth opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I’ve kept you for too long. Go and rest. Sir Ergos will tell you about the rules here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I left the tent and then went to the temporary infirmary, guided by a knight, and reunited with my companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mister!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s Daria?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s completely healed after receiving purification from the priest. She’s sleeping now because she’s tired… Anyway, it’s all thanks to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erwen, who was back to her usual cheerful self now that her sister was treated, hugged me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha approached and pulled Erwen away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Stop bothering him and get away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing? Can’t you see Bjorn is injured?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see. Are you okay? Nothing else hurts? You’ve worked hard, being called away like that. Let’s go and show the priest your arm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it seemed like my injuries were all treated, I followed Misha to the priest and received treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, for reference, it was free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a wartime situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All explorers have to follow the royal family’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first place, the infirmary here was probably set up by conscripting priests from other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll feel a bit weak and strange for about a day. Well then, I have many other patients. May the radiance of the sun be with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My arm regenerated in less than a few minutes after a single heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m reminded once again of the importance of priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have had to use two or three top-grade potions if it were me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…the potion’s effectiveness decreases as your physical abilities increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I have to get a priest as soon as I form a clan.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving treatment, I reunited with my companions and talked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raven, did you hear about the situation here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard a bit while we were getting our area assignments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Area assignments?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The place where we’ll be sleeping. Looking at the map they gave us, it’s a passage in the outer area. I guess it’s because we came late. The safe areas inside are already full.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled silently at Raven’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the tents of large clans were in the center, so I wonder if they were assigned there because they came early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, let’s go there quickly. They said we have to take turns keeping watch from tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geez, it’s like we’re in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when, as I was looking around at the tense atmosphere…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…But where’s Takelan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I asked a question that suddenly came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takelan Arbenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5th-grade explorer who was practically the only survivor of this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My companions all froze when I mentioned Takelan’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, that person…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven forced a smile and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He went there as soon as he received his area assignment. They said explorers who are alone or in groups of two or less are assigned to teams with vacancies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could have just joined our team, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like clans were all sticking together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were quite a few groups with six or more members that we passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven smiled awkwardly and said as I expressed my doubts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wanted to. So don’t worry about it, Mr. Yandel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded nonchalantly and thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Something must have happened while I was gone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I don’t know why they’re hiding it from me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can just subtly ask Ainar or Misha later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erwen, you said you were joining the Blue Wall Clan, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… I, I don’t want to, but my sister said I have to… She said there might be problems with the contract later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, leaving aside the contract, she probably thought it would be much safer. The Blue Wall is a clan that operates six teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, one of them disappeared on the way here, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll be going. You take care of your sister when she wakes up. And always be wary of your surroundings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We then parted ways with Erwen and headed towards the area we were assigned to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a passage in the outer area, and the distance between us and the team next to us was less than 2 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been a while since I slept on the 1st floor…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we spread out our sleeping bags on the ground and lay down next to each other, without any complaints, as expected of explorers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That we should be grateful to even be able to sleep like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainar started snoring as soon as she lay down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know why, but listening to it reminded me of the things I had to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to check the loot I obtained today, inspect the equipment that was covered in lava, and clean my body that was soaked in blood and sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, and I have to find out what happened with Takelan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a mountain of things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though I did so much…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ah, whatever, I’ll do it tomorrow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength drained from my body as soon as I closed my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if I was sinking into water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when, as my consciousness slowly faded into sleep, I heard Misha’s voice next to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bjorn, you’ve worked hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I also heard Raven’s voice on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you really did a great job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avman also chuckled awkwardly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest, Yandel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did I realize…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…that the unusually long Day 1 had finally come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>",2734,"2026-06-05T19:32:49.064Z",1,"novelbin.me","085c23e6ace0c216e0bc265a4ccec09524cc53bf15f8d3b472f6cac2e364f8e9","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-216","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-214",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-cover.jpg"]
