Chapter 243: Goodbye
The body walked forward in the corridor, but Barrett's mind involuntarily fell into a long memory again......
In terms of time, the first time he came to the Dark Realm was about a year ago. But in his mind, that journey seemed to be a much more distant past, and he felt as if three or four years had passed, and even had the illusion that he was not in the same world.
In a trance where memories and reality were intertwined, Barrett felt that the space around him began to gradually distort, and the faint glow emitted by those fluorescent mushrooms was also like a constantly steaming mist, hazy in his eyes.
Suddenly, the figure of the dwarven companion appeared at his side, and the brute even heard the dwarf's habitual loud complaint.
"You know, I don't like the underground, I don't like anything to do with ore, big guys. The dwarf exclaimed, "Let's get out of here and have a drink in a tavern." Do you have enough money in your pocket? I don't want to be kicked out in the middle of my drink like I did last time in the Griffon King. ”
"No, it's not time yet. Barrett said, but when he turned his head to look over, he saw that there was no one beside him.
A figure of a minotaur appeared on his other side, "I'll go ahead and see what is going on." The minotaur said angrily to the barbarian.
He suddenly remembered that there was indeed a minotaur who had followed him and the dwarves into the underground, a companion they had recruited in the city-state of Muya, and a wretched man. The minotaur, whose name he couldn't remember, seemed to be in love with a human girl in the floating city, but he couldn't be together because of the human girl's family, and even seeing each other from a distance became a luxury.
A human girl? A red-haired girl?
"A better thing than a silver coin is a gold coin, so guess what's better than a gold coin?" asked a girl next to her with her hands behind her back to Barrett.
“...... I don't know. He whispered.
"Stupid, of course it's a gold coin with my face on it. The red-haired girl raised her head proudly, "You have one of that gold coins, I gave it to you, but you must keep it!"
What do I understand?
By the way, what is the name of the red-haired girl in front of her? Barrett tried to think about it, but still couldn't remember. He could not always remember the names of his companions, dead or alive......
The figure of his fellow minotaur ran past his body and forward, only to suddenly disappear into the corridor.
Barrett saw that the dwarves followed as well, and then herself. No, some shadow of yourself. He and the dwarf's shadow followed the minotaur's trail, and it didn't take long for them to come across a battle.
It was a modest battle, fought against a few poorly armed stone-blind barbarians. The shadows were about to win, but they were suddenly knocked to the ground by unknown forces......
The distorted space makes everything you see ghost. Barrett shook her head vigorously and poured all the water from the water bag on her head.
He leaned against the rock wall and whispered, "Damn, what's wrong with me, damn it!", Barrett gulped in the dull air, and then took the sick 'Iron Bride' out of the spatial ring, and pressed the hilt of the sword to his forehead, trying to get all the distractions out of his mind.
After half a cup of tea, the overlapping images slowly converged, the distorted illusions and figures disappeared, and everything in front of me was clear again.
After a few more moments, Barrett felt as if she had returned to normal. He stood still, and then went on again.
......
Finally successfully exiting this long road, our barbarian adventurer exhaled a deep sigh of joy.
Those damn mushrooms must be poisonous, they must be!" thought to himself, how could such an unbelievable strange thing happen otherwise? I should drink another bottle of antidote now, just in case something unexpected happens.
As soon as he thought about it, Barrett took a bottle of green antidote that tasted like lemon and durian mixed together, took it out of the spatial ring, poured a few sips into his mouth, and then made a refreshing and smoky burp.
Just as the barbarian wanted to complain about the strange smell of the antidote, he suddenly heard a very noisy footsteps faintly coming from the pitch-black passage opposite.
The sound of footsteps grew from far to near, and gradually became clear, reassuring him that it was certainly not an illusion.
Barrett turned and retreated back to the corridor full of fluorescent mushrooms, looking sideways cautiously. After more than a dozen heartbeats, six or seven stone-blind barbarians armed with various weapons came out of the passage on the opposite side.
It turned out to be you! Hmph, the enemy is very red when they meet. Without saying a word, Barrett threw the resonant tomahawk out, and his whole body was killed from the road with the flying axe.
This was not a fierce battle, and several stone-blind barbarians had some martial arts, but they were far from enough to see in front of Barrit.
An enemy was directly decapitated by an axe, and another was cut off by a stone weapon in his hand after being chopped by the 'Tyrannical Touch'. Another enemy had Barrett cut open his scaly belly, and his foul-smelling entrails were spilling all over the floor.
Fourth, fifth, sixth, none of the enemies could walk through three moves in his hands.
Just as Barrett was about to finish off the last enemy, he suddenly felt a pinprick in his head. Immediately afterward, the pain rapidly expanded, turning from a pinprick to a hammer, and his eyes went black. Then, again, his figure staggered to his knees.
It's all too familiar! The unknown enemy who had beaten them before!
Barrett gritted his teeth and stayed conscious, with the [Mission Log] and the many equipment on his body, he was not knocked unconscious with two blows like last time.
However, he still fell half-disguised and half-substantive, but the weapon in his hand did not let go. But the other party was not careless, and another psychic shock hit his brain, and then a fourth.
Barrett felt like his brain had turned into mush, and darkness had overshadowed most of his consciousness. He used what little willpower he had left to drive his teeth and bit down the tip of his tongue, reactivating the numb spirit of pain.
He felt several people walking around him, those standing motionless beside him, as if communicating something, but no sound came out. He opened his eyes slightly, and finally saw the figures of the enemies.
The iconic octopus head indicates their identity, and they are indeed Mind Flayers, and there are still four of them!
Barrett suddenly burst out of the ground, and the 'Tyrannical Touch' in his hand directly cut the head of the nearest Mind Flayer in half.
The rest of the octopus heads showed surprise in their eyes, but the psychic shock and psychic blast exploded into the barbarian's mind again in an instant.
The brute bit his tongue again, and the 'Tyrannical Touch' came out of his hand and plunged into the head of the second Mind Flayer. But he himself fell again.
Using the last of his strength, he moved his finger slightly, the bronze ring emitted a slight beep, and the resonant battle axe in the distance flew back towards him quickly, piercing into the chest of the third Mind Flayer along the way, and stuck there.
It's a good thing I didn't fly back, otherwise I would have been the same as the previous directors of this weapon. He thought silently.
The darkness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and he didn't hold on any longer.
......
After some time, Barrett woke up slightly, and he found that he was still alive, and there were still some sounds of quarrels around him.
"I'm going to decide on this guy," said a familiar voice.
"But he killed three of our people!" a voice argued in a stilted lingua franca.
"So what? I said, I'm going to make up my mind about this person, don't let me repeat it. "The initial voice became cold.
Barrett opened his eyes to find a familiar young man standing in front of him. The man was dressed in a tight-fitting black mage robe, three bright golden sun vine patterns around the robe's chest, waist, and knees.
When the young man saw Barrett wake up, he smiled at him and said, "Hey, long time no see!"
