Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 139
139fire awakening (2)
「[Ogre's Essence] seeps into the character's soul..」
「Strength increases by +140.」
「Anti-horsepower increases by +80.」
「Physical resistance increases by +40.」
「All resistances increase by +10.」
「Natural regeneration decreases by -40.」
「Perception decreases by -20.」
As soon as I opened my eyes, I checked my watch..
Fortunately, very little time has passed..
Well, I was in a hurry to get it done just in case..
“…….”
After watching my colleagues sleep for a while, I took out a knife..
And I drew a line on the back of my hand like I was sawing..
Crunch Crunch Crunch Crunch.
I applied a lot of force and went back and forth about 10 times, and a single drop of blood came out..
As I was looking at the wounds that were not regenerating, it was only then that I realized it..
The character's concept really changed in an instant..
Wow.
I clenched my fist in the air.
The change in the physical body was clearly perceptible, but not as drastic as when taking the Orc Hero Essence..
It's not that I can't understand.
Not only has the vampire essence disappeared, but 'Guardian of Balance' is still in effect..
‘You will only be able to feel exactly how much your strength has increased when you go outside..’
I took a moment to calculate my profits and losses while looking beyond the passage lit by torches..
‘OMG…….’
ogre.
A grade 3 monster with stats and skills that any tanker would be amazed by. However, this essence was not included in my final combination..
It was a practical reason rather than a judgment of nonconformity..
Grade 3 monsters that are already difficult to catch.
Moreover, you have to select the color you want among the 7 active skills.?
Not only is the difficulty of obtaining it too high,…….
‘In terms of defense alone, there is a level 4 monster called ‘Steel Giant’ that is more efficient than this guy..
‘However, the steel giant has the disadvantage of not being able to use weapons..’
In the end, at this point it was a matter of taste..
Should you focus on damage or just focus on tank?.
Since the difference in performance between the two essences was subtle, I chose the extreme tank for most plays..
We decided that it would be more reasonable to raise dealers through the effort of eating ogre essence..
Actually, that judgment was correct..
As a result, I was able to open the original version of the ‘Gate of the Abyss’ that no one has been able to reach..
but…….
‘Strictly speaking, Ogre is better..’
The fun of this game is that the training method can be changed flexibly, and it is also the player's skill..
From the beginning, the final combination wasn't exactly decided like this, this, this, etc..
If you remove the core integer, everything is blank..
We selected three or four candidates with similar performance for each role, took the one that came first, and moved on..
What I wanted was to clear the game, not complete the main character..
‘It's a bit disappointing that it's not yellow essence, but it's not enough to change the entire training method.…….’
a little dazed.
I definitely changed the vampire essence, expecting 'Steel Giant' as the best case number, but I must say that the result was better than that.?
‘What are the conditions? If Jeong Soo-myeon is a vampire guardian, will he be confirmed as a guardian and be promoted to level 2??’
pure question.
My curiosity as a gamer rises, but I struggle to suppress my thoughts..
‘This is 30%. No, maybe even 40%?’
Reconsider survival rates to suit changing situations, and envision new combat methods in detail..
In order to increase the possibility even a little more.
What I can do even at this moment.
‘……It would be better to take off the armor. He's not going to wait for the guy to get ready..’
Like a swordsman preparing for a decisive battle sharpening his sword the night before..
Refine your plan and find better options.
‘The penalty for cognitive decline is not as severe as you might think. If the strength ratio is this high, you won't be pushed by force..’
The detailed pieces of the plan fit together one by one to create a single form..
However, the more it happens, the harder my heart beats..
Exciting-!
The future is like broken glass.
No one can perfectly predict the outcome.
Like the time when the hierarchical monarch was summoned.
However, because of that…….
Exciting-!
Is there more I can do?.
I wonder if there was something I thought wrong..
As if dealing with a test paper where your life depends on it, keep thinking over and over again without compromising..
How long has it been like that?.
“Bjorn.”
Rotmiller wakes up and quietly calls my name..
It meant it was time..
I quickly woke up my colleagues and checked my watch..
[09 : 47]
About 4 hours have passed since I took a break..
In other words, there were about 38 hours left until the labyrinth closed..
“That's faster than expected. I'm sure they have a way to track us..”
Rotmiller's advice was passed over with one ear..
It was information I already knew.…….
If there is information I need to keep in my head right now, it wouldn't be like that..
‘Yes, it takes 4 hours to get from there to here..’
All premises for New Plan A have been met.
so…….
plod.
Now I have no choice but to throw the dice.
***
plod, trudge.
The sound of footsteps coming from the darkness at regular intervals.
It comes towards us as if it is strangling our necks..
Don't be impatient, take your time.
plod-
Before long, it came within visible range..
For your information, my companion is a poor old man who is polite..
Blood is flowing out of one of his frowning eyes, as if he has been offered as a sacrifice while looking for us..
“It's so cruel.”
“Why on earth would the author do something like that to a colleague?…….”
Everyone frowned at the bizarre sight, but I quietly breathed a sigh of relief..
Huh, I guess I left that old man in front of the portal..
If we had come together, there would have been no answer..
That was the car I was thinking about..
plod-
He stops walking at an appropriate distance..
And the heavy silence that came.
“What, they're all alive?”
The guy smiles frivolously and talks to me..
It was far from the reaction I had expected..
I didn't think it was strange at all to stab someone in the stomach with a sword..
what?
“I suddenly thought someone had died because my strength suddenly came back..”
With those words, all feelings of discomfort were resolved..
That's why it was like this.
‘He seemed strangely calm for some reason..’
He hasn't noticed yet.
The fact that I swallowed up a ‘restrained wish’.
Well, after listening to it, I thought that he could think like that..
Until the words continue later.
“Oh yeah. I guess I ate some Vaikundus essence.?”
Even during this time, he presents new possibilities..
Somehow I laughed.
‘I didn't know this guy would do something like that..’
Even if the numbers are divided between 8 people due to the Guardian of Balance, the increase is incomparable to something like Vaikundus..
This guy must have felt it too..
but……
I have already decided on the answer I want and am trying to find evidence to prove it, but is there any way to arrive at the correct answer?.
‘Dragon Slayer, Regal Vagos.’
I wrote one more phrase about him in my head..
Surprisingly, this guy was a positive guy..
However, maybe there was something ominous about my laughter??
“……Barbarian, you must have kept your oath.?”
He erases his relaxed attitude and asks me.
I stared at him without any response..
To put it bluntly, an expression that means “what are you doing?”.
But it seems like this wasn't enough for him..
“The thing, where is the thing??”
He asks me again.
This time there is annoyance in his voice..
I tried to deny it because of sunk costs, but I am slowly starting to feel it too..
The truth that you may have been tricked.
“……Could it be that you already wrote it??”
Finally he asked, and I answered.
“Oh, it wasn't intentional..”
“……what?”
“sorry. I was just fiddling with it because I was bored, but it broke.?”
Despite my sincere apology, he trembled like an aspen tree..
He too slowly accepted the truth..
warrior's oath.
What barbarians with only honor protected, devoting their lives to it..
That I was fooled by it.
“I had no intention of keeping my oath from the beginning..”
A tingling sensation of death touches my skin..
But I proudly straightened my shoulders like a K-Barbarian from Korea..
“Oh, so don't say you're sorry—”
“die.”
When I heard the voice, I could already see the sword at close range..
Closing this much distance in that short moment.
Even though I was provoking him, I was secretly watching his every move, so I was able to react in time..
Slurp.
raise the shield.
And not blocking it…….
Kwaang-!
I hit the sword face with all my might..
This is a countermeasure I came up with while simulating a battle with it during my spare time..
Isn’t the famous Ark-made long sword?.
Even if I tried to block it, it would definitely just make a hole in the shield..
“Dwalki!”
As soon as I pushed him away with all my strength and shouted,.
The magic that was briefed in advance is fired..
「Riol Warb Dwalki casted the level 7 attack magic [Frost Storm].」
Fortunately, it looks like he completed the magic spell while he was wasting time talking..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Sharp ice shards swirl and fill the passage..
It's so close to the wall that it gives you chills even when you're out of range..
However, ironically, a strange heat was felt at the end where the snowstorm was heading..
It was obvious without even looking at what it was..
「Regal Vagos casted [Fnace].」
[blast furnace].
4One of the abilities of the grade monster Lava Giant.
A buff-type skill that makes you immune to cold and fire damage when activated and greatly increases your physical stats..
10I was still a little worried because the information was from a year ago..
As expected, I still had it..
Chewy profit-!
I tore through the scroll without any regrets.
It was obtained after defeating 'Argos', one of the mid-bosses, and according to the rules, it should have been used to catch the Minotaur..
「Targeting complete.」
「The ‘Lava Giant’s Essence’ owned by Regal Vagos is sealed for 48 hours..」
As soon as the scroll burned away, the heat on the other side of the passage ended..
Okay, I cut off one level 4 essence..
What happened to him?.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Soon the snowstorm that had frozen the entire passage cleared up..
The guy was standing still..
Without any damage, behind a black curtain as translucent as a glass window..
“Did you just believe this??”
He smiled wickedly at us..
If you thought this surprise attack was a conversion move, there was nothing you couldn't understand..
But what should I do with this?.
‘I never thought things would work out this well.’
The skill he just used is [Dark Shroud]..
And this skill does not exist in the list of essences that Rottmiller told me about..
In other words, one of the variables that was on alert has been confirmed..
‘The remaining unidentified integers are now either one or two..’
Of course, you may have other number items, so you need to keep paying attention to those as well.—
Hwiik-!
Without any time to organize my thoughts, his new weapon is shot at me again..
I tried to hit the sword face with the shield like before, but it is also an intelligent being that learns..
Huh-!
The shield splits the air..
When I realized it, there was a slight pain in the shoulder area and a foreign body sensation..
Suddenly!
When I checked, the Arc long sword that had cut the lithium shield like tofu had dug into my forearm..
About 3cm.
“……?”
A fleeting moment when our gazes intersect.
I could see the embarrassment in his eyes..
I was planning on cutting off my entire arm, but why was it only this big?.
The answer is simple.
‘Well, what is my physical resistance level now?.’
Ogre's passive skill [Ironskin].
A skill with crazy performance that increases physical resistance by 2 times, and additionally increases physical resistance by 2 times only for cutting attacks..
‘If the stats are similar to the 'Guardian of Balance', it is natural that even an Archjet longsword can survive..
but…….
‘Ugh, I didn't mean to show it this early..’
Until the golden opportunity comes.
If possible, I wanted to hide it by blocking the sword with a shield..
However, at this level, it would be possible to infer what kind of essence ability this is just from this alone..
‘head.’
Soon, as I looked at the top of my head covered in burns, I made a decision..
It is an active skill of Ogre's red essence.,
[[Flesh Explosion] The first proper attack skill that came to me, who only had the same attack machine..
I don't know why the skill of a guy with the nickname "Forest Tyrant" is called this.······.
「The character casted [Swing].」
「The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength..」
Well, as long as the effect is good, that's fine..
Huh!
I swung the mace with all my might..
