Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 105
105Tuesday PK (1)
The one who opened the rift.
In other words, who is the mafia??
‘This is a question I've had since entering the 'glacier cave'..
Because the mafia was a ‘variable’ to me..
There was a need to figure out in advance whether it would be a positive or negative variable. So, instead of concluding that Mr. Bear was a mafia, we opened up all possibilities and gathered clues..
As a result.
‘Yeah, it was him..’
A suspected mafia member was found..
But that was all for now.
Should I say I don't know what this guy wants??
‘Huh, I can't just kill that thing..’
Because I don't know what's going on, I feel even more uncomfortable..
Of course, if that guy is a mafia, there is a good chance that it will become a negative variable in the future..
but…….
‘I guess I'll just have to keep watching for now..’
There is only one mafia..
And he hasn't done anything yet.
This means that if you kill them all, it will be a problem..
Grumbling-
Unless two innocent people are also 'silenced'.

“Michelle, are you feeling okay??”
“…me? It's okay?”
Misha answered naturally, but the truth is that the fatigue from yesterday will be widespread in your body..
Unlike Jensen and Mr. Bear, we only slept for three hours each because we had to stay on alert..
“Don't worry. Isn’t it better than the witch’s forest??”
“that… Right.”
I smiled and shook off my worries..
Well, a kid who endured that wouldn't stumble at this level..
“Stop fooling around and slowly leave.?”
Soon after Mr. Bear uttered a word, Misha quickly backed away and returned to his original position..
the very back of the formation.
If someone does something stupid, you can find out immediately. If he wasn't there, it would have been burdensome to play the role of a tank and stand at the front..
plod.
As soon as you take your first step, the group follows you at your speed..
‘2D It’s not a graphic, it actually feels like this..’
dark ice cave.
The frost-covered ground is slippery, and the overall terrain structure is more three-dimensional than the crystal cave on the first floor..
Not only were there steep sections, but there were also places where the road was cut off and you had to use a rope to get over it..
but…….
“Still, I'm glad there's only one way..”
There was no need to get lost without a searcher..
It's not that there weren't side roads along the way, but soon a dead end appeared..
All you had to do was take the main passage and move..
Smashing the monsters that appear from the ice wall.
Powok-!
For reference, the monsters that appear here are Wormstone, Sabel Tiger, Frost Wolf, Ice Golem, and Owl Bear..
7Unlike the Bloody Citadel where the grade monster ‘Bone Knight’ appeared, most of the grade 8 monsters were there..
‘But the actual difficulty level is higher here.’
Condition [Hypothermia]].
A debuff field effect that lowers agility by up to -30 when there is no cold resistance and increases the cold property damage received by two times..
“Miss Naprin, be careful. Maybe it's because my body is stiff, but these guys' attacks seem to hurt more than before..”
“Ah, somehow… … ! That's why!”
As the journey continued, ‘Jensen’, who was in the second row on either side of me, began to groan..
Of course, out of consideration for them, I didn't slow down or anything. Well, those two had almost no shares anyway..
puck.
In fact, Misha is the one who protects me, Mr. Bear, and Mr. Bear. As the three of us made our way through this, we slowly reached the end of the chapter..
It took about four hours to get here?
As I walked through the winding passage, going up and down, a wide cavity appeared..
“Hwiyu, you are a minister..”
Three monsters trapped in a pillar of crystal-clear ice.
“I see your skin is white, you are an ice orc..”
“…Ice oak?”
“7Don't worry it's just a grade.”
The weapons the Ice Orcs held were all different..
One holding an axe, one holding a hammer, and one holding a magic wand..
“……Do we really have to fight those too??”
“They wouldn't be here for no reason..”
Mr. Bear responded cynically to Gensia’s muttering..
and at that moment.
Squeaky-
The ice pillars that were imprisoning the Ice Oak began to crack and break apart..
“Well, they don't even give me time to look around.?”
Anyway, that’s Mr. Bear’s relaxed reaction..
“Don't panic and stand in formation.!”
I urgently shouted to Jensen, who was fidgeting. It's easy for Misha to keep an eye on you if you stand in line..
“Ah yes!”
Soon, Jensen came to either side of me, and Mr. Bear stepped back from a distance and took up a sniping position..
Kwakwang, toodoo doot.
As ice shards fall, the Ice Orc trio wakes up..
He's a mid-boss and spews out ferocious snorts..
[Chwii Iik Iik-!]
One shaman, two warriors.
It is a fairly balanced composition, and it also has [Hypothermia], so it is a very difficult opponent..
If you don't know the strategy.
“Phew…….”
Let out a long breath and raise your shield..
I was quite nervous..
Not because of the orcs that can be caught at any time, but because of other aspects..
‘If you're going to do something, now would be the time..’
There is a mafia within the team..
Of course I don't know what his purpose is..
Maybe you just want to break the rift and have no intention of harming anyone..
However, you must be prepared for cases where that is not the case..
thus—
Kwaang!
Focus only on defense rather than attack.
It's better to hide your power just in case..
In that sense, instructions were given to Misha not to step forward and just watch..
“Why didn't you run to your lover and why are you still here??”
“You never know what might come out from behind. And I'm not a lover.”
“Well, it still looks like that..”
Mr. Bear expressed doubts about Missha's positioning, but perhaps it was an understandable reason, so he passed on it..
and…….
“Tsk, they are there, but I guess I'll have to use some strength this time..”
He brought out abilities that had never been shown before..
「Abman Urikfried has summoned Iron Woong Iradun..」
A huge bear pops out through the portal created in front of Mr. Bear..
It was a soul tree.
‘…It's called Iradun.?’
Honestly, I was a little surprised.
Since he is a level 5 explorer from the beast people, I thought he might have already signed a contract with the soul water.…….
‘I never thought it was a summoning world.’
I understand why solo play was possible even though it was a bow jab..
If you have tank summons, there is no need to insist on a team..
[Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]
The summoned bear cub ran quickly on all fours, roared next to me, and raised itself up. And I started to get used to marking one warrior..
‘If this happens, I guess I'll have to go to plan B..’
I acted completely rationally.
Nothing has changed anyway.
Because he hid his power, didn't Mr. Bear take out the soul water he had been saving up until now?.
[Chwii Iik Iik!]
For that reason, hammering of ice oak was allowed..
If I got hit in the body, it would be obvious that I was acting harshly, so I just hit it with my head as if heading it..
Kwaang-!
Since I was wearing a helmet and my bone strength stats were decent, my head didn't get smashed..
My brain just shakes and I feel a little dizzy..
Even that was recovering quickly with natural regeneration values applied..
but…….
dump.
I picked and fell to the floor..
We decided that if we caught the orc Samdori too easily, we would not be able to reveal the true intentions of the mafia..
“Hey, are you okay... Ugh!”
Carlson was startled and ran towards me to take over the aggro..
and at that moment.
「Killed an Ice Orc Warrior. EXP +3.」
The arrow fired pierces the head of the Hammer Orc..
As a result, the shaman's aggro changed to Mr. Bear.…….
5The class explorer was seasoned.
Tadat.
190 Mr. Bear, who has a large body in the beginning, nimbly avoids spells, hangs arrows on his crossbow, and shoots them accurately..
「The Ice Orc Shaman casted [Steel Ice Wall].」
The shaman's defensive skills were meaningless in front of those enormous arrows..
7How can a level monster stop something like that?.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The arrow that broke the ice wall hit the shaman's head and exploded..
「Killed an Ice Orc Shaman. EXP +3.」
Now there's only one orc left.
‘At this rate, I will catch them all with three arrows.?’
I feel a sense of desperation..
If the battle was too easy, the structure was so one-sided that my plan to make it difficult was meaningless..
‘Is this a level 5 archer??’
Shit, the floor is cold, so just pretend to come to your senses and get up?
As I was thinking about that, someone recited.
“That's the number of souls..”
a cold voice.
“Now we can go ahead with the plan..”
Mr. Bear, who was loading the next arrow, vomited blood and collapsed..
dump.
The mafia has finally taken action..
***
There are several prerequisites that must be met in order to become a mafia..
Be knowledgeable enough to know how to open the crack..
19Your navigation skills will be so good that you can get to the second floor in a matter of hours..
You will be able to clear it on your own.
This alone reveals a rough outline of the shape..
5A seeker with class-level strength..
This is the true identity of the mafia..
The problem is that all three had this potential..
1. Mr. Bear.
5level explorer.
A way of thinking somewhat similar to that of a player, etc..
My mouth hurts even if I talk about it..
2. carlson.
The only thing I said during introduction was my name..
No mention was made of the essence possessed..
Additionally, the equipment on the lower floors was well maintained..
Like new.
I kept watching it to see if it was a camouflage device, but it didn't drink the Frost Wolf Essence for some reason..
It was suspicious enough..
Well, not as much as him..
3. Gencia Naprin.
He said he was trained as a searcher and had a knack for it..
He also said that observation is his specialty..
The way I see it, it was all insurance..
To make subsequent lines sound natural.
[Seriously, should I grab that and go down??]
Even when I met the Yeti blocking the cave.
[oh! I touch it and it glows..]
Also in the second chapter.
[For some reason, I feel like my body isn't moving well.…···!]
Even when the mid-boss casted [Suppression].
[Anyway...is it all over now??]
Before the last wave begins, even when everyone is let down.
He continued to pretend otherwise and get to the point..
As if he knew the strategy.
Of course, this was nothing compared to Mr. Bear or Carlson..
If it weren't for the dirt on my shoes.
As soon as I entered the crevice, the first thing I checked was my shoes. In order to open the ‘Glacier Cave’, you need to go to the beast’s den on the second floor..
Jencia was the only one who had dirt on her shoes..
Well, I can understand it if you don't wipe your steps in the city.······.
[Now that I think about it, there is one strange part: after falling into the water, Zencia's smell changed..]
Thanks to Misha's report, I became convinced..
Although it is not as good as Rotmiller, the sense of smell stat itself is high as a beastman..
[It originally had a more foul smell..]
[Like a beast's den?]
[iced coffee! Now I see it like that. I wondered why it felt familiar!]
Gencia is a mafia.
I judged that it was a malicious variable that had a lot of potential to become a negative variable..
And thanks to that, I was able to prepare in advance..
Puuk-!
The moment Zencia's sword penetrated Mr. Bear's abdomen.
Misha rushed forward as if waiting and threw a medicine bottle, hitting it..
Clink!
Glass breaks and contents spill out.
“Thank you, that would be 30 million stones— yay!”
Zencia, who was about to chat leisurely, got covered in solution and took a step back in shock..
“What, what! What are you doing to me?…….”
I quickly stood up.
But did my fainting play a part in that bitch choosing this as the time for a surprise attack??
“What is it?…….”
Gencia looked even more confused..
Instead of answering, I shouted..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
What is it?.
From now on, it's called self-defense..
