Surviving the Game as a Barbarian Chapter 615

Chapter 615 Homunculus (2)

Without sleeping properly, I ran and ran for several days and nights and finally arrived at

the temple…

“…

The cooking equipment was still the same…

Only there were no people… My heart

pounded –

What on earth happened here?

There were no signs of battle…

They were even cooking, so the pot was filled with thick stew. ·

‘···It’s open?’

It was only then that I confirmed that the door to the temple, which was supposed to be closed, was wide open…

Could this have anything to do with this?

With that in mind, I was cautiously moving towards the direction of the temple…

[Bjorn Yandel…!!]

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from behind…

“… Hamsik?”

As soon as I turned my head in the direction from which I heard the sound, Hamsik flew at me.

[Why are you here now? I thought he was scared to death…

It was my first time seeing him so shocked…

However, I didn’t have the time to calm him down and listen to the story calmly…

“What on earth happened here?”

[I don’t know either! Suddenly, light seemed to burst out from the temple, and everyone stood up as if they had lost their minds and entered that temple!]

“You went in with your own feet…?”

Have you been affected by something along the lines of charm or mind control? In that case, it is quite understandable that there were no traces of battle…

[Yes! Again, everyone’s eyes looked strange… They walked languidly, as if they couldn’t even see me even though I was next to them!]

“I understand, so calm down…”

[····]

“Anyway, you were fine in that situation, right?”

[That’s right…]

“Did you see the expedition members who went across the river with me?”

When I asked with an effort to speak calmly, Hamsik also answered in a slightly more genuine voice…

[Ah…! If it’s them, they entered the temple a few days ago… while being carried on a strange flying object…]

If it’s a flying object, is it like the drone we saw before?

“So they were unconscious?”

[No, my eyes were open… Although I was completely unconscious like the others…]

“… What kind of crazy range do you mean?”

[···Huh?]

“Oh, I’m just talking to myself…”

Just looking at it, the source of the mind control is that temple…

But I never thought the effect would be applied far beyond the river…

But I ended up going into a bunker with a dimensional disconnection phenomenon. Even if it was okay, why was Hamsik okay?

Could it be because the entity was judged to be a ‘monster’?

I don’t know, but for now, I focused on receiving information from Hamsik.

“You’ve never been inside the temple, so you don’t know what’s there?”

[Well… I was just waiting because I thought you would come! It’s not that I was scared at all!]

“Yeah, I guess so…”

[····]

Unfortunately, Hamsik was only a witness and did not actively investigate the incident.

Therefore, the information that can be obtained from Hamsik This is the end·

“I guess I’ll have to go in to find out the rest·”

From now on, I have no choice but to jump on foot·

***

“The character has entered the 7th archive·”

***

The internal structure of the temple was very simple·

Open As soon as I entered the stone gate, a staircase appeared, and as I went down a little further, a hall with a heptagonal structure appeared…

And on each side, excluding the stairs I came down, there were a total of six stone gates…

“All of them are closed except for one…”

[ ···It feels more like something eerie…]

“But what is that?”

There was a desk-shaped structure in the center of the hall.

Or should I say it was an altar?

The material had a similar appearance and feel to stone and had a total of seven rectangular grooves.

“I know I’m supposed to put something up, but I don’t know what it is yet.” [

No, it gives me an eerie feeling?]

“Ah, if you break one by one, you’ll get a reward. “Is this something that can be achieved?”

[Hey… by any chance… you can’t hear me…? No, right…?]

As I was organizing my thoughts alone, Hamsik’s anxious voice caught my ear.

Normally, I would have made a joke and pretended not to hear, but as it was a serious situation where my colleagues were kidnapped, there was no time for that.

“I can hear…”

[···But why don’t you keep answering?]

“I should have something to say…”

[Huh…?]

“What was it that was creepy in the first place? Are you asking me to at least sympathize with you?”

[No, it’s not like that…]

“Okay then… Just stay quiet for a while… I need to think about it…”

Luckily, Hamsik seemed to understand what I was saying and didn’t spit out any more unnecessary words, and thanks to that, I was able to quietly gather my thoughts. I was able to concentrate only…

‘Just looking at the arm, it’s exactly the size…’

I immediately took out the golden book… It was

a book I looted at Hamsik House, which can be accessed by clearing Library Island, and it also had a line in the village chief’s ghost story notebook. That’s exactly what was written…

swoosh…

I carefully placed the golden book on the groove and it fit perfectly without any space…

Is this really a coincidence?

‘That can’t be…’

I immediately remembered the phrase written in the village chief’s notebook…

[The golden book won’t help you with your goal…]

I interpreted that advice as saying that the golden book has nothing to do with ‘escape’. I did…

That’s because my goal was always to escape…

But why did such a device come up while attacking Rainbow Island, which was considered the key to escaping…

[Nothing happened…?]

“Of course, nothing’s going on right now… Just look at the rest of the seats. Because I feel like something will happen when I fill it all in…”

[Ah…]

“Anyway, please be quiet for a moment… I have more to think about…”

This golden book could be obtained when clearing Library Island…

Then where can I get the rest? Is it possible…

‘It’s simple, but the most plausible thing is that you can get one book each time you clear each island…’

Library Island, Seokmun Island, Tree Island, Giant Island, Village Chief Island, Rock Island, and Rainbow Island, where I am now…

Even the number of islands that exist in this layer is exactly seven.

Of course, this hypothesis is not without contradictions, but

Seokmun Island is

the island full of guardian statues and where a crack opens at the end.

Clear that island. However, I couldn’t find the golden book in the reward room that reminded me of Hamsik’s house…

‘Well, I haven’t seen the true ending, but there is room to think so…’

So what is Rock Island or Village Chief Island?

Giant Island Although there is a super giant, there was nothing special to attack on the rocky island or the village chief’s island that were the

starting points…

The more I do this, the more anxious I become, and the vicious cycle repeats.

Therefore, this worry ends here . After putting the golden book that had been inserted into the

groove

back into the subspace, I approached the tightly closed stone gates and took a quick look.

‘What should I do to fix the remaining stone gates?’ ‘Can you open it?’

I haven’t figured it out yet, but I think it’s already too early to worry about this issue.

Isn’t there something that’s really open?

If we proceed from here, we’ll find some clues. There

‘s definitely a way out there to save our colleagues who were kidnapped as employees. Tego·

“Let’s go, Hamsik·”

In that sense, without wasting any more time, I approached the open stone gate.

There was something shiny blocking the stone gate, making it impossible to see inside. It was definitely not a portal, but more like an air curtain. It was a feeling… When I

carefully

pushed it inside, my hand was gently pushed in with a soft touch.

It was similar to the feeling of dipping my hand in liquid, but it didn’t feel particularly wet. It

was a little uncomfortable, but I hesitated because I had no other option than to go inside. Without thinking, I plunged my body in…

Snap…

The tip of my outstretched toe touched the ground, and an unfamiliar scene unfolded before my eyes…

‘Prison…?’

The place I arrived at was a prison.

However, it did not feel similar to the dungeon under the Explorers Guild, but rather closer to the structure of a modern prison.

Or should I say it more accurately, a prison of the future?

Slowly!

Drones were flying in the corridors where the guards would pass, and in the middle of the hall, a large wolf made of mechanical parts was sleeping…

Also, various monsters were being led somewhere along the drones with hazy eyes…

“… ··Can’t you see me?”

As if I were an invisible person, whether it’s a drone, a monster, or that mechanical wolf, they are ignoring me and just doing their own thing…

[What is this place…?]

“How can you tell it’s me…”

First, I turned around and checked the wall… Seeing things

going back and forth. There was a shiny curtain attached to the wall that I passed, probably because it meant I was free…

Okay,

my hand went in well…

For now, the escape route was secured in case of an emergency—·

[Bjorn Yandel…]

At that time, the Hamsik called me…

I thought he was making a fuss again this time, so I thought about ignoring him…

[Here… I feel somehow familiar…]

I hear words that I just can’t hear…

[Maybe… Before I lose my memory… It might be a place you’ve been to once…]

“What…?”

[…Be quiet… I’m thinking…]

Does this mean you get back what you gave?

“Ah, I understand…”

I kept my mouth shut so as not to disturb Hamsik’s concentration, but for now I continued to explore the surroundings… It’s

not like urging him to change anything…

I’m just doing what I’m doing and if something comes to mind, I’ll tell you…

I plodded along

like that in earnest. As I was walking around and looking around, I realized that I had misunderstood…

Whether it was a drone, a mechanical wolf, or a monster with loose eyes…

I thought it was an invisible barbarian because they didn’t even care when they saw me…

‘What I can’t see at all is I don’t think so…’

When I got close, the drone that was flying stopped for a moment and zoomed in on me with the part of the lens that acts as an eye, but soon it stopped paying attention and started doing its own thing…

‘Ha… I feel more comfortable just fighting…’

Start If everyone had turned against me and rushed at me as soon

as I did it, there would have been no reason to worry about such complicated things…

If I thought, ‘

Is that too barbarian-like? I was standing in line and moving along with the moving monsters…

[Go down there…]

Hamsik suddenly tapped my shoulder and said,

“Suddenly?”

[Hurry!]

It was an unexpected suggestion, but following Hamsik’s words, I broke away from the group and went down the stairs next to me…

And how long had passed…

[Here…]

I went down the stairs that were similar to an emergency exit for a while. While I was there, Hamsik stopped me…

[Look closely at the wall over there…]

It didn’t sound like he was joking, so I did as he was told rather than asking why…

But what is this?…

While I was touching the wall, I heard something .

I can feel a hidden small groove with my fingertips. I take out a dagger and insert it into the groove and apply force, and the tile on the wall falls off.

And…

[I can’t believe it’s really there…] I’m

stuck in the empty space hidden by the tile. There is an unknown card in it.

It is not a plastic card commonly used in modern times, but a metal card with a moderate weight.

“···What is this?”

[···I don’t know, I don’t know either…]

“You told me and you don’t know?”

[All I remember is a fragment of memory… One day… I hid that item here…]

Hamsik only said that it seemed to be a very important item to him, but he couldn’t even remember the purpose of this card…

“… ··I understand for now·”

So, after putting the cards in the empty space, I closed the tile and left the room·

“Where should I go now?”

[Further down… If you go further down, there will be something… Because I was always going down here…] “

····”

It seemed like Hamsik really knew something, so I didn’t inquire further. I went all the way down the stairs…

And how long had passed…

“There’s no way down any further… Now…”

[Then it must be here…] When

I finally arrived at the end of the stairs, I carefully opened the door and went inside…

Luckily, the door wasn’t locked… ·

“····”

Beyond the door, there was a completely different atmosphere from the prison on the ground ·

A dome-shaped space reminiscent of a soccer field ·

However, when I looked at this open place, the first thing that came to mind was a factory ·

Jii-ik ·

One of the monsters It moves while standing on the rail and stops…

and…

flash-!

The mechanical device above the head emits light, and the monster’s appearance disappears from nowhere…

For some reason, a single magic stone was left in its place…

Jeeeeee…

The rail that had stopped moves again and creates something. The magic stone goes into the box at the end of the rail…

As soon as the box is full

… The

box is placed on another rail and moves somewhere…

However, I couldn’t confirm where the box was moving…

[Hey! There! There!]

Hearing Hamsik’s shout, I quickly turned my head to check, and as soon as I checked, I was immediately dazed.

Jiiiing.

I saw a familiar face on the moving rail.

“Raven?”

Raven was moving while standing blankly on the rail…

Flash!

To the place where the device that converted monsters into magic stones is located…
