Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 140

140fire awakening (3)

[swing].

Unlike other skills, there is no need for intense imaging because it is just a strong swing..

Huh-!

This skill didn't even have common effects such as a light shining on the weapon or a gust of wind blowing out..

I was a little dissatisfied with this part when playing the game..

Skills tend to become more flashy and have fancy names as they get higher, so why is this skill the only one?.

I found the answer today.

‘Ogre was also efficient..’

In reality, having effects doesn't help. Because it only stands out and exposes only my information to a well-informed enemy..

Rather, this is more practical..

And as if to prove this.

「Regal Vagos casted [Dark Shroud].」

He uses defense skills..

It is unclear exactly on what basis this decision was made..

Maybe you just thought this was enough.

So, rather than retreating, he may have decided that it would be more reasonable to keep his distance and stab the sword into a vital spot..

but…….

Kwazijic!

4The grade skill [Dark Shroud] is shattered as soon as it touches my mace without being able to last even a second..

It was natural.

[Although it may not have a grand name like [Rumble] or [Wrath of the Avatar], [Swing] is a high-tier attack skill even at level 3..

“……!”

Only then did he realize the situation and twist his body..

Well, if that was going to happen, I should have avoided it from the beginning..

Powok-!

It wasn't the top of his head that I was aiming for, but my mace was successful in hitting him on the shoulder..

The guy quickly widens the distance while letting out a short groan as if it was an effective hit..

Tadat.

The dislocated shoulder is sagging to the point of being deformed..

He quickly puts the sword in his mouth and moves his free hand to his pocket..

Probably subspace.

What you're trying to take out is probably a potion..

‘Who do you see as an asshole?.’

I have no intention of giving myself any recovery time..

“Dwalky! Use voice control”

Since my opponent was a person, I turned on the team voice and rushed towards him..

And quickly placed the order..

“Hikurod, Rotmiller! You two, protect Dwalki. Misha, you stay close behind me!”

Of course, I don't have time to talk at length right now, so I'll start with the basic formation again..

I gave detailed instructions step by step..

Fortunately, my colleagues accepted their duties without any warning..

It started with Dwalki.

Huh-!

The moment he dodged my mace with a civilian-like move..

The curse magic seeps into his body..

「Riol Warb Dwalki casted the level 9 curse spell [Slow].」

In fact, it is safe to say that this alone is enough for one person..

If I were to be honest, that guy specializes in agility..

“Things like trash……!”

The guy didn't hide his anger and showed off his full power in earnest..

5From the grade essence of [Advanced Acceleration] to [Afterimage].

In an instant, the agility value of the doublet must have increased..

Tadat-!

Maybe it's because of my poor cognitive ability, but just following the movements makes my eyes feel sore..

‘The stat correction even slowed me down, but it's like this..’

I once again felt like a monster, but I calmly did what I had to do..

‘Since my arm isn't healing, it looks like there are no regenerative essence or number items..’

Narrow down the number of cases based on newly acquired information..

And I focus on the role assigned to me..

Oh, of course my role is simple..

Suddenly! Kakak, Puuk!

Getting hit with excitement while blocking the middle of the passage..

“Give up the thought of dying gracefully..”

He throws cold arsenic at me.

The guy was clearly showing his full power, so it was impossible to avoid it with my agility level. Blocking the Arcje long sword with a shield would be virtually meaningless..

So I just hit it with my body.

Cheeeeeeeek-!

In an instant, the entire body becomes ovulated and acidic blood flows out from the gaping skin..

Because the vampire essence disappeared, there was no cure even if left alone like before..

However, this is also not a problem.

When did you have good teeth and chew up your enemies??

Clink!

Rotmiller, who was keeping the enemy in check with a crossbow from behind, checks my status in real time and throws a potion from the [Treasure Warehouse].

「The recovery (medium) effect causes the body to regenerate.」

AKA Barbarian Beginner Mode.

‘It's been a while since I did this.’

Unlike me, who was filled with strange emotions, the young emotion in his eyes was disbelief..

But after checking my expression, did you realize that I wasn't completely incapable of feeling pain??

He mumbles like it’s ridiculous..

“……crazy bastard.”

Even though they must have been in and out of the labyrinth for a long time, they haven't encountered a bastard like me yet..

‘It just so happened that I received rave reviews..’

Of course, the reward is a mace..

Huh!

As he nimbly dodges, the dwarf continues to provide support..

「Hikurod Murad casted [Electric Lightning].」

「Hikurod Murad casted [Discharge].」

An electric sphere that is exquisitely shot when it rises in the air..

He stepped on the wall and jumped again to avoid it..

However, it wasn't too disappointing.

Because this is not the dwarf’s real role in the first place..

There were only three things I asked the dwarf..

“What do you think will change if all the scum gather together??”

‘Assist from a distance using ‘electric discharge’..

Protect Dwalki in case of any unexpected situation..

and…….

「Regal Vagos casted [Dread Imprint].」

Use items at the right time.

「Hikurod Murad used [Guardian's Armguard].」

4Grade Monster Nightmare’s Ability [Fear Engraving]].

A skill that temporarily instills strong fear in the enemy and returns the same amount of physical damage as body value..

「Strongly pushes back enemies and temporarily becomes immune to all harmful effects given to allies..」

Even before the skill can be used properly, a gust of wind blows and my mind feels refreshed..

As expected, 'Guardian of Balance' was not resolved.

Because it's not a harmful effect.

“Behel—laaaaa!”

I quickly rush towards the guy who was pushed back, even using [Wild Eruption]..

And slams the mace down.

Huh-!

[[Swing] was not used.

Because I'm sure I'll avoid it anyway.

Tadat-!

The guy turns his body sideways and swings his sword at me..

But at that time, Misha, who was close behind me, aimed at the guy's side..

Puuk!

The blade penetrates the skin shallowly but surely..

It flinched and immediately aimed at Misha, but Misha moved quickly and hid behind me..

‘nice.’

Movement exactly as I expected.

The guy grits his teeth and mutters..

“Climbing up without even knowing the subject..”

Fortunately, seeing the rave reviews again, it looks like there were no other problems with my tactics..

Therefore, the status quo was maintained.

「The recovery (medium) effect causes the body to regenerate.」

I take on the role of meat shield.

Dwarki, Rotmiller, and Dwarf provide long-distance support..

And Misha gets electrocuted, avoids my attacks, etc. Whenever an opportunity arises, he jumps out and stabs his sword..

Kakak, seoseok, poouk!

Damage steadily accumulates as the battle prolongs..

“You guys, don’t even think about coming back alive..”

In the end, he also used essence and other number items that were unknown to the city..

But nothing changed.

The frequency with which potions had to be used increased, but it was not enough to turn the tide..

Well, just keep your mouth shut.

‘……Anyway, it was level 9 after all..’

The nine essences it possesses have been revealed..

The only level 3 essence that was known was the end..

Well, it's not that easy to get it at level 3 or even on the 9th floor, so it's natural, right??

“Bjorn! And that shining blade is here!!”

I sensed that the time had come to see the match..

After a battle that lasted about 30 minutes, everything he had in his hand was confirmed. If things continue like this, it's possible for the guy to back off for a while and come back with the priest in tow..

so that…….

‘now.’

Now that the battle has been prolonged and you have become accustomed to the current situation.

“……!”

Dash with all your might and stretch out your hands.

Tadat.

The guy stepped back slightly to increase the distance..

It wasn't much different from the psychopath of the example..

Once you feel like you're used to it, move only as much as necessary..

Is this just a habit of the powerful??

Thank you so much.

「The character casted [Giant].」

As the body expands, the arms become longer accordingly..

I didn't let go and grabbed the guy by the hair..

“……!”

There was an urgency on his face that I had never seen before..

Actually, I guess I didn't know [Giantization] existed, because I intentionally didn't use it until now..

It feels like all the hard work so far has been rewarded..

‘It's a red light.’

I secretly checked and saw that the guy's traffic light ring had a red gem emitting light..

thus,

I raised my mace and shouted impatiently:.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

for just one chance.

A move of conversion that has been silently waiting for its moment..

From today, that will be my super special move..

Namely, in a gigantic state where the stats have been blown up due to wild eruption, use all your might.—

‘swing.’

I hit the mace on the guy's head with all my might. I had the confidence that if I hit this one shot, everything would be over..

So, I could see it.

“Noundez Aunjo.”

All the changes that happened the moment his lips opened.

「The character lacks soul power.」

「[Gigantization] ends.」

I feel weak all over my body..

Additionally, the eye level suddenly drops and the field of view narrows..

Kwaang!

The mace swung normally and hit the floor..

“Kehehehe.”

Before I knew it, the guy who had escaped my grasp was vomiting up blood. And as I looked at this, I thought of only one thing.

This damn bastard.

What on earth have you done now??

The answer came quickly.

‘Nimiral.’

A unique skill that all dragon people are born with..

‘It is known that he can never use it due to the dragon's curse..

「Regal Vagos casted [Verse: Silence of the Soul].」

It was a dragon word..

***

‘Guardian of Balance’.

This field effect equalizes the total basic stats..

But in the meantime, you have to fight one versus many..

4Even a single grade essence was sealed..

Thanks to the Ogre Essence, I found a strategy for the most difficult Arcje longsword, and I also used various consumable items obtained from hidden rooms without hesitation..

And even a special move aimed at the decisive timing..

9I thought this was enough to handle even a floor explorer..

So pathetically.

Despair can strike anyone, at any time..

In short, contracting a rare disease at a very young age. While on a long-awaited trip, an accident occurs and a loved one loses his/her side..

There was a huge fire at my relative's house where I was living..

My mother, who was supposed to be with me tomorrow, suddenly disappears..

It can all happen in reality.

without any notice.

Whether it's raining or sunny.

unknowingly.

It has the quality of going to someone..

Just like this moment.

“Hehe.”

He spits spit mixed with blood on the floor..

And pick up the Arkje longsword that fell on the ground..

but…….

Pachichichit-!

Sparks fly from the sword as if rejecting his touch..

The guy frowned and forcefully grabbed the sword and plunged it into subspace..

and…….

plod.

He slowly walked towards us..

I lifted the mace with difficulty..

The mace, which felt light as a feather just a moment ago, now felt as heavy as a rebar..

plod.

Information about this phenomenon came to mind without me even having to wrap my head around it..

「The character is in a state of soul exhaustion..」

soul exhaustion.

Status abnormality that occurs when soul power reaches 0%.

Even in the game, I've encountered this quite easily. Even if you use your skills sparingly, your soul power will never drop to 0%..

「All stats are temporarily reduced by 70%.」

I realized.

“Suddenly, everyone's quiet, you lost?”

New Plan A is a failure.

And the price is…….

Well, you'll find out now..

Powok-!

Shinhyeong is pushed back significantly by the guy’s kick..

Although I blocked it with both arms, the shock reverberated down to my bones..

“Bjorn……!”

Misha hurriedly rushed in, swinging his sword, but it was too short to reach the guy..

Like a martial arts master, he wrapped his arms around Misha's wrists and snatched the sword from her..

and…….

“trashy bitch.”

He kicked Misha in the abdomen and sent him flying far away..

The crossbow that Rottmiller fired just in time.?

Before I could reach it, I was cut by the sword and split in two..

“Just because of things like this…….”

He looks at us and mutters coldly..

Those words gave me goosebumps and my heart was beating wildly as if it was broken..

However, even during this time, like a habit, the head combined the given clues..

“Maybe you don't know.”

He's not in good condition either..

He coughed up blood earlier. Anyway, if he was at 100% condition, my arm would have been broken already..

It looks like you can't even use a sword..

“How much time have I spent on the ground now?.”

There are many positive aspects.

But still, it's nothing compared to us..

“Oh my, Miss Misha! Come to your senses!”

A crying voice came from behind me, and the guy took a step closer to me..

“Barbarian, don’t expect eternal peace. Even death won't be able to save you.”

This is not just a statement to scare you..

Because I know the only level 3 essence he has..

plod-

The situation is truly hopeless..

what should i do?

If things continue like this, it will be difficult to escape..

It was that moment when my head was filled with only those thoughts..

「Riol Warb Dwarki casted the level 8 attack magic [Ice Spear].」

An ice spear with the same power as before is fired..

That's two too.

‘With ‘orbit adjustment’ completed,.

Pisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssw-!

The guy twisted his body urgently..

And he avoided the other one by barely pushing it away with his sword. Normally, this guy would have been blocked with [Dark Curtain] or easily destroyed with a sword..

It was so difficult to block the magic..

“……!”

So I realized.

I don't understand why I didn't think of this right away.…….

Wizards do not use soul power.

In other words, there was no debuff due to soul exhaustion..

That means.

“Yeah, I guess I'll have to kill you first..”

We must protect Dwalki..

“Everyone, come to your senses.!!!”

If you want to live.
