Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 107

107Tuesday PK (3)

First, check the outside of the passage..

“Ouch!”

“Don't run away, just hang in there!”

Misha and Carlson were busy dealing with the orcs. It would have been over quickly if I killed him, but that's not possible under my instructions..

‘You won't have to worry about that one for a while..’

I quickly removed the equipment from the unconscious Zencia..

2Tiered leather top.

Boots with the blade sticking out while taking them off.

A wrist protector that had grooves that popped out when pressed, etc..

Upon inspection, each piece of equipment is focused on people rather than monsters. As I was putting everything I could into my backpack and looking at it, I couldn't help but smile..

‘I guess I can just give a few to Misha, thanks for saving my money..’

Gencia's equipment was quite decent..

Among them, Hwaryong’s best point was the sword..

A long sword that exudes an expensive feel, starting from the handle..

‘No, wait… Isn’t this a number item??’

Instead of putting it in your backpack, check the sword closely..

A greenish sword.

If I'm right, this is No. 5991 Viper's Fang.

It has no use effect, but gives a large bonus to penetration and doubles the poison damage inflicted by the sword..

Well, you'll have to get an appraisal to be sure.…….

‘I think I got something valuable..’

The viper's fang is a 'core item'.

Although it is not a graduation weapon, it is an item that can be used until the mid to late stages if you are on the Deadly Poison tree..

Of course, the price is expensive regardless of the number..

‘If it's really a poisonous snake's fang, I should tell Missha to use it until I sell it..’

With that thought in mind, I stood up..

Now that I've finished rooting, it's time to talk..

Well, I have a few questions for you..

But before that, I need to prepare for the conversation first..

Powok-!

Strike down the mace.

The target is the ankle.

There was no hesitation because I had all the equipment worth the money..

“Ugh, nooooo!!!”

As soon as her thin, white feet were crushed, Jencia raised her upper body as if she had received an electric shock..

I pressed down on the upper chest with my foot and pinned it down..

and…….

“Oh, no……!”

Powok-!

The other ankle was made similarly..

We took care of one wrist earlier, so now all that's left is the left wrist..

As I changed my posture, I made eye contact with Jencia..

Have you ever done something similar to me??

She seemed to know what I was doing.

“Well, stop… please… Well, even if you don’t do that, I’ll do anything.…….”

okay?

“Then stay still. Let’s finish talking.”

I raised the mace above my head..

“Ha, don’t… … !! Because I won't rebel! So please tell me—!”

Well, just wait a moment..

Powok-!

“Wow!!!!”

Jencia's screams echoed louder once more, creating an environment for conversation..

All limbs were crushed and all equipment was stripped..

So rest assured…….

Oh, didn't they take it all off??

“You use [Arm Conversion].”

Even though it is a beginner's equipment, this bitch still has some equipment left for swap. However, at my request, Jencia stopped moaning in pain and just looked at me blankly..

“That… how……?”

How, what, how?.

There are more skills than that that can completely change equipment at once.?

Instead of answering, I raised my mace..

Then Zencia's complexion became whiter..

You probably know that the only thing I can crush with this is that little head..

“Ha, I will!”

Soon, new equipment was put on Gensia's body..

Ordinary equipment that might cost about 500,000 stones in total..

Likewise, I took it off and put it in my backpack..

Now, it's time to move on to the main topic..

“I have something to ask.”

“Well, whatever.!”

First, I checked to see what essence Gensia possessed..

There were a total of four possession integers..

Iron Knight's [Arm Conversion], Dinictis' [Beast Walk], Saint Assassin's [Revenge]].

‘And [endow poison]…….’

I was wary that it might be a self-destructor, but the last essence was Hobgoblin's [Toxic Impression], which Misha also possesses..

To put it all together, it means I took two 6th grade, one 5th grade, and one 7th grade..

I grew it quite nicely..

Although it is a pity that what you are doing is plundering..

‘No, if you think about it, did you really find your aptitude??’

By the standards of explorers dealing with monsters, Zencia is only about level 6. However, it will definitely exceed level 5 only in PvP..

“Is that the end... … ? If you had just asked, I would have answered.—”

What can I say, it’s just the beginning.

I went straight to the next question..

“why did they attack us?”

“My information is spreading throughout the Explorers' Guild. So to silence you…….”

“The intention was to kill whoever came in..”

Jencia closed her eyes tightly and nodded..

At this point, she almost gave up and said just kill me, but she never said that..

That won't change anything.

“So why opened the rift? It looks like there aren't any integer positions left, so if they didn't come in in the first place, there's no reason to keep quiet, right?.”

“It's because of the heart of the snow field. I heard that item only appears here.”

Ah, that's why.

“Plus, I wasn't worried about the silencing part. I thought he would be a level 8 explorer at best.—”

As I was listening with understanding as the last thread unraveled, Zencia suddenly closed her mouth. And her eyes widened.

As if I realized something huge.

“I even knew that I opened the crack.……?”

……I just made a mistake..

“What do you mean??”

She answered naturally and picked one of her ears, but Zencia was not fooled. And after a period of silence, she finally arrived at the answer..

“no way… you too a player?”

Looking at those eyes, it seems like there would be no point in denying it.…….

There's no need to say yes, though..

“Player, are you really an evil spirit??”

Despite my question, she stared blankly into space..

Then, as if he came to his senses, he wriggled and put his face on my leg..

I quietly looked down.

“Uncle, please save me…….”

hope.

“I want to go back home. I can't die in a place like this. In a fucking place like this... How did I survive? yes? please…….”

Angry.

“Oh, I didn't apologize, right? sorry. Yes, I was wrong. I thought it was an NPC. If I had known, I would never have done that. Ooh, we're real people... You're human, right? If you do that, it's murder.?”

Desperation.

“please… Please say something. yes? Fuck! Talk to me! Huh, it's a dog…….”

Frustration.

Besides that, I just continued to look at Jencia's face, where all kinds of emotions were swirling..

Exciting.

Surprisingly, my heart was calm..

Let alone sadness, not even a faint sympathy bloomed..

[There was no PK in [Dungeon & Stone].

Because it's not an online game.

Instead, it was possible to kill NPCs..

I also enjoyed playing as a looter in that way..

but…….

‘I killed him because he was an NPC.?’

This is not just a game.

I really want to believe that, but there is so much evidence that I can't help but believe it..

And she probably knew it too.

Therefore, I answered briefly.

“You are an evil spirit.”

evil spirit.

A being that does not belong to this world.

However, in order to survive, I am a being who has no choice but to belong to this place with my body, mind, and soul..

Okay, what does it have to do with players and NPCs??

After all, nothing changes.

This woman, no matter what qualifier she has been given, is not only a predator, but she is also a dangerous person who has realized that I am a player..

“개새끼야!!”

Therefore, I raise my mace..

As people who have both adapted to this place, I think it would have been the same even if the situation were reversed..

Slurp.

Bring strength to the hand holding the mace.

Gencia no longer asked to be saved..

He just stared at me with evil eyes..

I will definitely remember your face, as if I will curse you even if I die.

“Hmm, huh, haha…….”

Every time I breathe out harshly, my bulging chest rises and falls rapidly and repeats. I could feel how fast my heart was beating even though I wasn't using my ears..

I realized one thing.

She seemed to have only poison left, but there was still one more thing left..

fear.

Soon Zencia closed her eyes..

I finally started to find peace by letting go of hatred..

What is visible beyond those tightly closed eyelids??

“Uh, mom…….”

I hit the mace before hearing everything..

Powok-!

Flesh and blood splattered..

Every time the fallen body twitched slightly, blood poured out from the nose and mouth..

Of course it wasn't long.

Soon her body came to a complete stop..

I let out the breath I had been holding and turned my back..

「Achievements achieved」

Condition: First player killed

Reward: Permanently increases your sanity by +1.

Killed a player for the first time.

However, I tried to erase my feelings about this and took a step forward..

plod-

Whether the act was easy or difficult.

Did you feel excited about the blood and flesh, not fear?.

When she opened her eyes to such a subject, I became disillusioned with myself for hoping that it was the place she would have seen beyond her closed eyelids..

Either that, or it seemed miserable to see myself becoming more and more corrupted while inhabiting this barbarian's body..

Feelings didn't matter.

plod-

It had to be done..

‘…….’

The first day I woke up in this barbaric world.

The path I decided to walk down was that kind of path..

***

“What have you been doing to finally come here? I thought something big had happened!”

As they leave Gencia's body behind and come out together, Misha scolds them..

Well, I still finished it as quickly as possible..

Only about 3 minutes have passed.

“Please help me too!”

When Misha glances at me, Carlson is helplessly pushed away by the orc and shouts urgently..

However, I maintained a spectator attitude..

“Misha, you can do it now..”

“Oh, that's okay.?”

“Yes, if possible, try using your newly acquired abilities..”

“huh? I haven't tried it yet…….”

So I'm saying give it a try..

There's no mafia anymore?

Ice Orc is a perfect opponent..

“Ugh! I can't hold on any longer... Hmm!”

While Carlson blocked another ax attack with his dented shield..

Misha closed his eyes..

And I used the skill.

「Misha Karstein casted [Strengthen].」

A faint white light visible above the hand.

7Active skills of grade monster ‘Vitol’.

If it were the usual Missha, the basic combo would have been to use [Improve Poison] here.…….

「Misha Karstein casted [Cold Condensation].」

The blue particles that seem to separate from the air seep into Missha's body..

「Cold sensitivity increases significantly..」

Perhaps feeling that something was right, Misha opened his eyes..

and…….

Hwiik!

Swinging his sword fiercely, he cut off the wrist of the orc who was trying to attack Carlson..

Sigh.!

Would it have been impossible to cut all the bones in one go?.

The orc's hand holding the ax was cut off in half and was shaking..

But what I focused on was the other side..

[Take it, take it, take it, take it!!]

A cut on the wrist caused by a sharp blade.

However, blood does not flow. This is because the area around the wound turns red and is covered in frost..

‘Is this a verdict of frostbite?.’

Cold properties prevent bleeding.

If you look at this alone, it may seem like a disadvantage, but it can be quite useful depending on the type of enemy as it also blocks the regeneration effect..

Another advantage is that it limits behavior..

[get drunk, get drunk!]

Of course, Ice Oak, which has a high resistance to cold, only froze around the wrist..

But if it was a regular mob, it would have been a little different..

It must have been frozen beyond my wrists to my elbows..

Well, if it was a monster with negative cold resistance, it might have even been judged as ‘freezing’..

Because Missha hasn’t finished setting up yet..

In that sense…….

“Misha, aim for the neck this time..”

“Yes? I understand!”

Misha's sword got stuck in the orc's neck..

Well, Orcs have high bone strength stats..

It must have been difficult to cut it down in one go..

However, when the area around its neck froze, the orc stopped moving and began to tremble while standing..

It seems like the cold has even reached my brain..

Kwasik-!

Since I checked everything, I ran out and smashed the orc's head with the mace..

At the same time, the cavity shook and ice powder began to pour down from the ceiling..

Also, the roaring sound I heard before was vibrating..

[Gwaaaaaa-!!]

“Well, whatever?”

What is it?.

Now it's the fourth chapter.

「Tyrant Tarunvas has awakened from a long sleep and regained all his strength..」

I must have done an unplanned PK as well..

Now it's time to catch the boss and move on..
