Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 110

110Angry baby barbarian (3)

[00 : 51]

3Just as work was about to start.

We left the glacier cave and returned to the crystal cave..

There were a lot of troublesome things, but the benefits of this rift were beyond imagination..

Zencia's Equipment.

Uncle Bear’s 5 million stones.

And even the essence of the Yeti and the Guardian.

1I received an absurd amount of profit for it to be a reward for clearing a floor crack..

4I made less than 2 million stone in two months with a party of 5 people on the first floor..

‘Nimiral.’

I realize again.

After all, I have to go through shitty things to get this kind of luck..

Suddenly-!

Soon, Misha cut down a saber-faced wolf that was approaching us with his new sword and exclaimed in admiration..

“Oh oh!! What is this sword? It's really good!”

It seems like it's a one shot, one kill anyway, but I think I could feel the difference from the taste..

“Details will need to be appraised to find out, but it is highly likely to be a number item..”

“Are you a number item? Well, then isn’t this really expensive??”

When I looked at Misha's embarrassed expression, I started laughing without realizing it..

Where are the ‘viper’s fangs’?.

The leather greaves given along are also expensive items..

2It was made of wyvern leather, which is the material used..

‘With specs like these, you won't have to worry about getting to the 5th floor..’

I feel like I finished one homework.

This time, the beginner and mid-level settings have been completed, so even if there are no additional upgrades for a while, it will serve one person well..

“Then let's go to the second floor now.?”

“That's how it should be.”

I traveled all the way on the compass with Misha..

First of all, the purpose of entering the labyrinth this time is over, but it would be a waste to spend the remaining time playing around..

‘Although there are no explorers... If you do well, you might even know how to get up to the 3rd floor..’

Anyway, Misha was in charge of killing the monsters he encountered while moving. Her sword changed one piece, and her stats also increased significantly, so it was because she needed to get used to the new sense..

“Me, Bjorn? I think I'm done now.”

“Are you sure??”

“Uh... that… Nope. I'll just keep catching it. But I'm really asking just in case... It's not because I'm bothered.?”

“…Are you doubting me??”

“Oh no! never! Is that possible?!”

It's Misha's reasonable suspicion anyway..

I just moved around comfortably and helped Misha with his training. It's a new sword, but you also need to get used to the essence's abilities..

I felt happy when I saw it..

‘I really didn't expect the Guardian Essence to come out..’

As far as the Freeze tree is concerned, Lycanthrope Essence performed just as well as Yeti..

[Lycanthrope] Grade 7

Agility +10, Cutting Power +12, Cold Sensitivity +15, Cold Resistance +10, Physical Resistance +7, Fighting Spirit +10

First of all, the stats include cutting power, which is the core of the swordsman series..

Passive skills are very deceptive.

(P) Blood of the Snowfield - Cold sensitivity increases by 1.5 times..

Cold sensitivity increased by 1.5 times.

It not only shines more towards the end, but also has good synergy with Yeti's [Cold Condensation]..

The same was true for active skills..

(A) Ice Crushing - Damage dealt to enemies in 'frostbite' state is slight, but increases significantly to enemies in 'frozen' state..

First of all, there is no need to explain the usefulness of this, so I will pass..

(A) Indomitable - Removes inability to act.

Although it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of soul power, [Indomitable] is also a good skill that significantly increases the stability of dealers who are vulnerable to CC..

‘Above all, if you have this, there is no need to worry about your anti-magic stats so much..’

Originally, you should have been able to choose just one of these skills.…….

What Misha absorbed was none other than the guardian's essence..

Not only can both skills be used, but the stats are also about 1.5 times higher than regular essence..

“If possible, try to attack somewhere other than the vital spot..”

“Oh, but he died in one hit.…….”

“Then why not just hit it with your fist?.”

“Okay… huh? Still dies in one hit?”

[After using [Cold Condensation], I whetted my appetite as I saw the blade wolf frozen by a single punch..

9Is it because it is a level monster??

[Before I could use [Ice Crush], it turned into light and disappeared, so I couldn't train properly..

“I guess I'll have to go up and do the rest..”

“……Even if you go up, you have to do it.?”

Tsk, where can I just eat it raw?.

“I say it again—”

“know. The easy way is not the slow way.”

Uh, um… yes.

When I was speechless, Misha smiled and took the lead. It looks like she had a lot of fun just moving the tip of her tail..

‘……If you do something wrong, pretend to lose the argument and it will be resolved easily..’

I wrote down the 13 instructions on how to use Missha in my head and chased after Missha as my tension increased..

Time passed like that, and about 7 hours had passed since I emerged from the crack..

‘It seems like it's time for the dark zone to come out.—’

I stopped walking.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

The ground trembled slightly, and the crystals embedded in the cave walls began to glow brightly..

The color of the radiance also changed.

From soft purple to intense red.

‘I expected it, but I guess they really summoned it..’

1It meant that a hierarchical monarch had been summoned to the floor..

***

“It's no big deal, keep moving..”

“It's no big deal? I've never seen anything like that before—”

“Someone just summoned a hierarchical monarch. There won't be any repercussions, so don't worry about it.—”

“What? hierarchy?!!”

Wow, it's my eardrums..

3Did the hierarchical monarch we met on the floor remain as a trauma? Misha clings to me almost like he's causing a fight..

Well, there's no need to be that surprised..

“Misha, calm down..”

1Unlike the third floor, the layer monarch is quiet..

First of all, the summoning method has a chance of appearing if 5 or more people are gathered in one place after 3 days.…….

The portal does not close when summoned, and the monsters that appear on the floor do not change..

Above all, once Riakis is summoned, he travels across the field and slaughters people until he dies, but if the raid fails, he just quietly disappears..

“Well, then we're okay.?”

“Okay, so don't worry..”

When I calmly explained the situation, Misha seemed relieved and exhaled deeply to regain his composure..

But as the anxiety subsided, did curiosity bloom??

“But who on earth summoned it by mistake? Everyone knows that there should not be more than five people around here..”

“Well, maybe it's not a mistake.”

“It's not a mistake?”

I just shrugged my shoulders and said nothing..

Under the circumstances, there is a high probability that it was summoned by someone who bought the strategy for the first-tier monarch in the community.…….

Isn’t it possible to say it like that?.

‘He's quite an impatient guy. The preparation period must have only been about two weeks..’

hmm… … In other words, it's not that it's hasty, but it's powerful enough to have all the preparations in place.?

‘If you do well, you might be able to find out who the user is..’

I continued my journey, deciding that when I returned to the city later, I would look for any rumors about a clan or party that had succeeded in hunting down the hierarchical lord..

It was a time when Rotmiller’s vacancy was felt again..

‘Wow, I never thought it would take almost a day..’

After wandering here and there, following only the direction shown by the compass, we arrived at the portal on the second floor..

For reference, the one I chose was the south, the land of the dead connected to the Ghoul district..

「2Entered the Land of the Dead.」

Black earth filled with moisture and soggy.

2Exceptionally narrow visibility even among floors.

And the banshee's screams sound like background noise..

“It's been a while since I've been here.”

For some reason, as soon as I stepped on the ground, a feeling of nostalgia bloomed..

I smashed skeletons with Einar, beat the hell out of Deathfinder, and was so excited that I almost fell when I met that psychopathic guy.…….

‘Nimiral.’

Is it because it reminds me of that time??

I suddenly feel cold.

“Ugh, I feel bad every time I come here. I prefer ‘rocky desert’..”

“There's nothing we can do because we don't have a rotmiller..”

It was central so I could have gone anywhere, but the reason I chose the Land of the Dead is simple..

2Among the floors, the 3rd floor is the easiest..

You may have to wander a bit at the end, but all you have to do is head north..

‘Besides, since it's just the two of us, we should summon the Death Knight and catch him..’

I don't really need essence, but since it's difficult to catch when there are five of us, I decided to collect experience points now..

Isn’t he someone you can only meet on the 6th floor unless you go through some cracks?.

‘6It's a level monster, so we can test how strong it is..’

Of course, I have to completely finish Misha's training before summoning him..

“Let's go now.”

Moving north, we quickly left the area where level 9 monsters such as skeletons and ghouls appeared..

It took about 5 hours?

The terrain suddenly changed from a wet swamp to a hard stone floor..

[Kuoooooo—!!]

Soon Deathfiend appeared..

3The so-called ‘newbie cutters’ pups are moving around in groups of four as if it were their first car..

I heard that Einar and I had a hard time catching one fish the other day..

‘Well, now I'm in a body where I don't want to die even if I want to get hit..’

Deathfiend is a mob specializing in defense and regeneration..

Although it summons a ghoul, there is no way it will deal damage to a level 9 player..

Simply put, Misha is the perfect opponent to test your new skills on..

“I'll distract you, so don't worry and just focus on trying out your new abilities..”

“Okay.”

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

As soon as we cast [Wild Eruption], Deathfiend, who had been staring at us from the edge of the torch, let out a roar and rushed towards us..

[Kuoooooo—!!]

First, two of them blocked the charge with their shields, and one dodged to the side. And the last one…….

Kwaang!

I just gave it a hug because it was annoying..

Perhaps because it was the first grade 8 monster I successfully hunted, a strange feeling came over me..

In the past, I was defeated by even just one animal..

[Ugh?!]

When I put my strength into the shield and push, the Deathfiends are helplessly pushed away..

“Is it still far away??”

“It's all over!”

Misha, who soon finished 'Reinforced Cold Condensation', swung the poisonous snake's fangs..

Kakak!

Although it was blocked by Deathfiend's shield made of bone and muscle, it was not a significant defense..

A shield hand frozen up to the elbow from a single hit.

「Misha Karstein casted [Ice Crush].」

‘When Misha swung the other knife at the area marked as ‘freezing’, it shattered into pieces and scattered on the floor..

[dream… Yep?]

Wounds that cannot be regenerated even with [Body Preservation] due to the cold attribute..

As if he didn't feel any pain, Desfiend only made a confused expression..

Well, I seemed to instinctively feel that it was dangerous..

「Deathfiend cast [Call of the Dead].」

When four ghouls used the summoning skill at the same time, the number of ghouls crawling out of the ground reached a whopping forty..

Of course, this also didn't mean much..

The body, which had previously been easily torn apart by those claws, is now not only covered by a lithinium breastplate.…….

[purr……?]

Physical resistance has increased, and bare skin has become considerably stronger. To be honest, it's almost impossible for me to bleed just by getting hit..

Even if they came out, the hands of the acid-poisonous ghouls melted away. But even then, the wound was healing quickly.…….

“Bjorn… What are you… Like a monster?”

Looking at a person and saying they are a monster.

I answered with a grumble, hiding my pride..

“Stop watching and just get it over with..”

Well, after the setup is over, I won't treat you like a human being.?

***

Afterwards, he continued his training by moving north..

Thanks to this, I was able to get a sense of how much Missha had to freeze to be considered ‘frostbite’ or ‘freezing’..

In addition, he perfectly learned how to use [Indomitable] after meeting Chimera Wolf, who had a skill that prevented him from acting..

“Umm, well? I just did it with the feeling of applying a lot of force and it worked.?”

After learning how to use it, he advised me to use it only when absolutely necessary as it consumes a lot of soul power..

When your soul power runs out, you won't be able to use anything, including [Enhance], [Improve poison], and [Ice Crush]..

“You think I look like a child?”

……It's not wrong..

That's because he only had two skills until he reached level 4. You wouldn't have run out of MP without having to adjust it..

‘……I could have said this a hundred days ago. You have to experience it yourself to feel it..’

For that reason, I continued to hunt like crazy. And as a result of using her skills a lot each time, saying it was okay, she finally ran out of soul power..

“……Something feels really strange. It's not that my body is tired or anything, but I should say that my body feels empty.?”

“So didn't you tell me to distribute it well?.”

“…I thought this would be okay.”

Misha's MP was running out, and it was time to take a break, so we started camping out..

We found a building remnant with a wall, lit a bonfire there, and went to sleep one by one..

And how long has it been.

“Hahaha, that's true?”

“That's right, my friend.”

A commotion was heard from 20 to 30 meters away..

At first, we thought it was just a passing explorer, but as we continued to hear conversation, it seemed like they had settled in without knowing that we were camping nearby..

‘Well, anyway, it was time to wake Misha up. There's no need to tell me to go away..’

It was a time when I quietly spent the remaining time with a somewhat generous heart..

“By the way, this barbarian guy is really sleeping oblivious to the world.?”

“Be quiet, I might wake up later.”

“Let me sleep soundly. Isn’t that an expensive body? I need to get some rest right now.”

I heard a sound that I couldn't just pass by..

Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!!

Now, it was clear that the baby barbarian was sleeping among the hyena-like explorers..
