Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 165
165exploration (4)
200Expandable backpack worth 10,000 stones.
Steel daggers and miscellaneous equipment.
A bundle of consumables that are more effective against people than monsters.
and…….
“What on earth was that person doing??”
A spoonful of discomfort settled down like a stone.
These were the things that the unknown masked man left behind for us..
“No matter how much I think about it, I don't think he's just an ordinary looter. It's like traveling alone, and at the end too.…….”
The masked man chose to commit suicide as soon as the situation became unfavorable..
Anyone can see that this is far from a normal situation..
but…….
“Stop caring. Now that I'm curious, there's nothing I can find out.”
The truth is already buried in the darkness.
So we have no choice but to take what we need and move forward on our way..
That's what explorers are like.?
“Bjorn. How many pieces of cotton candy is this??”
Einar asked with mouth watering eyes, and just as I was about to answer, Raven opened her mouth..
“If you add it all up, it will be about 3.5 million stones..”
“……Do you have any insight into this area??”
“You will have to sell it in the city to know for sure, but the margin of error will be small. I previously obtained a general appraiser's license..”
Well, there is that too.…….
When I asked in detail, I found out that special emotional love was something different. They say that you can only win if you can determine value based on pure knowledge, not skill.?
“Mr. Yandel, please study later when you have time. If you just show me this, there is no need to fight and bargain. Trading broker certification may be a bit difficult, but—”
“Okay. I've never lost a fight.”
I stopped talking before I could continue bragging and resumed my exploration. The process was not much different from Team Banpoon..
I focused only on climbing the tower, choosing the Stairs of Wisdom as my first priority and the Stairs of Courage as my second priority..
“……Ugh, it's like wandering around in a maze all day again.?”
“There's nothing we can do because we don't have a professional searcher..”
Every time I took the stairs of wisdom, it was quite difficult to find the way, but I had to do my best to find the way..
That's because my mother-in-law is next to me..
“4Time 34 minutes.”
“4Time 11 minutes.
“3Time 59 minutes.”
Raven counting the time at the end of the maze.
Fortunately, the records gradually decreased as we went up. This is thanks to the know-how I gained from acting as a guide..
Well, it was a long way to go to catch up with Rottmiller..
“4Time 35 minutes. This time it suddenly increased.?”
“……There was nothing I could do because Einar stepped on a trap..”
“consideration.”
9Day 1, Day 10, Day 11…….
After that, time passed quickly, and from the 12th day onwards, we just slept without waking up..
“I'm going to set my watch time again today?”
“……Seems like a waste.”
“Phew, what the hell is this because of that damn thing. Isn’t this crossing the line too much? It's a surprise attack here, not anywhere else.…….”
Misha looks indignant as if his sanctuary was being invaded..
Actually, I felt the same way..
This was the only place where I could rest in peace..
‘Nimiral.’
Although there were various incidents, the exploration went smoothly, and by the 16th day, we had reached stage 100..
From now on, it is also possible to search the portal to the 5th floor..
“2It's 41 minutes... … . It's really a lot faster.”
Raven, who acted like a mother-in-law every day, also had a satisfied smile on her face..
For reference, this was the same for me too..
‘Actually, it turns out I was a guiding genius.?’
Even though I was struggling, the 3-hour barrier was thick..
However, I learned one thing and was able to shorten my record by crossing the magic section..
Traps are easier and faster to destroy..
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Yandel. How long did it take to get here when you had a professional searcher on your team??”
“12It took about a day.”
“Four days apart is not bad. Since this is a combination without a searcher, it will be much more comfortable on the 5th floor..”
I also agree.
We lost four days due to the lack of a searcher, but aren't all of our team members comprised of combat characters?.
You just have to make up for it in battle..
but…….
‘Hehe, can't you just praise me??’
It was a time when such dissatisfaction was lingering inside..
Misha came over and tapped my shoulder..
“Bjorn, you had a hard time. I really didn't know this would happen. We're probably the only team with a barbarian as a guide.?”
After all, you are the only one…….
“Hahaha.”
Misha's words must have stung him somehow, and Mr. Bear cleared his throat and stepped forward..
Even though he was a guide, he seemed embarrassed to have entrusted the role of guide to a barbarian..
“Well then it's time for me to step up.”
I obediently turned over the handle..
5This is because you need to open the doors in the correct order to get to the floor.…….
“Which door should I open??”
“It's the door over there..”
This is why the guide is a scam.
Even if your sensory stats do not exceed a certain level, you can perceive the magic power of the portal with just one innate talent..
「I chose the Stairs of Courage.」
「I chose the stairs of wisdom.」
「I chose the stairs of courage…….」
So, using Mr. Bear as a compass, I headed towards the portal hidden somewhere in the tower..
Repeat of opening the door and breaking the ordeal.
After spending one more night and continuing the exploration, a total of 10 more doors were opened..
“It's finally the last door.”
We reached the front of the stage where there was a portal..
It's time to look at the end of day 17.
Since it was soon time to camp, I thought I would take a rest and open the door tomorrow..
but…….
“I think I can concentrate better now..”
Considering Raven's vulnerable nature in the morning, we decided to proceed today..
Because the portal room is also the boss room..
The better the wizard’s condition, the better..
“As I said before, level 5 monsters always appear here..”
“Are you talking about that vampire-like monster?.”
Einar held the great sword with eyes full of excitement and anticipation. It seems like she can't wait to see how much she has changed from when she was helpless..
eat.
Somehow I laughed.
Originally, I was told not to relax, but the survival rate of aspiring graduates who reached this point was less than 50%..
I was thinking of adding that, but…….
“Hey, why are you stopping talking??”
It probably has no particular meaning.
It wouldn't be like a barbarian.
“I forgot.”
“yes?”
“Let’s go quickly and George.”
i opened the door.
Then I climbed the stairs and headed to the next stage..
A stone chamber with a familiar tombstone in the center..
Once all five people were inside, the door closed and a monster was summoned..
[Yeah—!!]
I started laughing again without realizing it.
I was wondering what kind of guy was coming out?.
“It's a troll!”
Yeah, I feel like I'm graduating when I get this guy out..
***
troll.
[[Dungeon & Stone] This is the guy who made me smash my keyboard around the first year.…….
The same bastard who had a track record of bringing us to the brink of annihilation during Team Banpoon's days..
“Should I start with distortion magic? I heard troll by-products are that expensive..”
Hey, I heard he’s really picky too..
5If it gets to that level, it will bloom quite a bit..
“done. Water purified water is expensive anyway..”
“If that's the case.”
That time when Raven and I had a brief conversation.
Cooung-!
The troll screamed and stretched its feet forward..
Therefore, I also kicked the ground to fulfill my role as a tank..
「The character casted [Giant].」
Weight gap reduced in an instant.
Soon, as the distance shortened, the troll swung a large fist..
Kwaang!
Heavy shock transmitted through a huge shield.
But is it because I ate ogre essence??
It's not cool at all.
‘The shield is still fine..’
The lithium shield, which crumpled every time it received a fist, did not flinch this time..
6This is thanks to the level imprint effect [unity].
Now, the performance of the equipment I wear is strengthened in proportion to the total stats..
Okay, how much did I spend to film this?!
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
[After boosting my stats with [Wild Eruption], I hit the mace with all my might..
「The character casted [Swing].」
「The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength..」
The target hitting point is the head.
However, because the guy twisted his body, the giant mace came down on his shoulder..
crackle!
Shoulders that are misshapen and make an audible hitting sound.
It was dislocated in just one hit..
In the past, it took six blows just to break a fully fleshed joint..
[Yeah—!!]
Of course, as a troll is synonymous with healing power, the bones were put back together in less than a few seconds..
But this is the end of measuring my combat power..
‘Let's take a look.’
I focused only on defense and observed my teammates..
First of all, starting with the original member, Missha..
I haven't absorbed any new essence since then.…….
Suddenly-!
A swinging sword cuts through a troll's skin so easily..
It's the power of substance.
Isn’t this an Iril-made longsword purchased for a whopping 12 million stones?.
If you can't do even this much, you should go and get a refund..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
It was Einar's shout..
Perhaps because he was jealous of Misha, who was active first, Einar immediately joined the battle line and wielded a great sword..
Whoa whoa-!
A strong wind pressure occurs along the sword's trajectory, and an afterimage blooms..
Ah, it's a bit hard to call it an afterimage.?
「Einer Pnellin casted [Repeated Cut].」
Grade 4 essence active skill inherited from an elder.
The effect is simple.
When you cut once, you get the effect of cutting twice..
Suddenly! Suddenly!
Oh, of course, the effect was minimal against trolls..
Even though the weight of the greatsword was added to its superior strength, the greatsword could only penetrate about 3cm..
This is because Einar’s only skill is [Repeated Cut]..
Because it is a skill that is difficult to achieve with normal hits..
“This guy’s skin is tough… … Ouch!”
Einar allowed the troll's fist and fell backwards. She got up again quickly, but blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth..
Looks like an organ is injured.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
However, instead of resting behind Einar after taking the potion, he clung to me again and swung his great sword..
It was a rational choice rather than stubbornness..
This time, the great sword had a red tinge to it..
Bone Knight's active skills obtained from the Bloody Citadel.
「Einer Pnellin casted [Vital Absorption].」
「When damaging a living creature, regeneration temporarily increases..」
Einar bleeds when he hits an enemy..
A great quality to have as a sub damage tank..
[When I used [Repeated Cut] with [Absorb Vitality], Einar was able to return to its original state with just a few cuts..
‘It has lower damage than Misha, but tanking is much better..’
After watching the battle between the two for a while, I checked the pros and cons, and what needs to be improved upon in the future..
‘As for Einar, I need to quickly get a usable attack machine and feed it to him. Misha needs to feed her more animal blood to raise her soul count level..’
I was thinking about that and roughly dealing with the troll..
Mr. Bear asked from behind..
“Can we wear it now??”
“Oh, I guess I was waiting for you?”
“I was wondering how well those two ladies over there would fight..”
“i am not a lady!!!”
It's Einar's shout. Anyway, when I said yes, Mr. Bear also joined the fight..
「Abman Urikfried has summoned Iron Woong Iradun..」
However, did they decide that the front line was already enough and on the verge of overflowing??
Mr. Bear summoned the spirit beast behind him like a bodyguard and then fired the crossbow in earnest..
Push! Push! Push!
Each time it is fired, an arrow lodges deep into the troll's body, making a huge booming sound..
You can feel the skill even in the areas where you hit the target..
A type of attack that restricts movement by embedding in joints such as elbows or knees..
Suddenly-!
Misha and Einar worked together to cut off the troll's arm..
And then the [super-regeneration] pattern began..
The playback speed was slow because Raven had cast the 'deterioration' spell in advance..
‘There's nothing more to see now.’
I was about to hit a troll's head with a mace.
“stop!”
Mr. Bear stopped me..
“The third girl should also be active..”
“……Please don't call me lady?”
Soon Raven grunted and swung her wand..
I didn't tell you to avoid it like Dwalki did..
Rather than saying there is no consideration, it is closer to deciding that there is no need for it..
「Arua Raven cast the level 5 attack magic [Thunder Spear].」
White lightning shot out zigzagly avoiding our location..
My eyes flashed brightly..
The next time I heard a sound was.
Kwakwakwakkwak.-!!
By the time I realized it, the troll's head had already blown off..
dump.
The troll falls to the ground and becomes light and disappears..
Oh, of course, there was no essence this time either..
***
Killed a troll.
It's as easy as playing with it..
Of course, that doesn't mean there's no danger on the 5th floor. That's where multiple level 5 monsters appear..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Portal opened when troll dies.
However, instead of going up to the 5th floor right away, we camped. Since it’s time to go up and sleep anyway, I decided it would be better to sleep comfortably for at least a day..
‘Is this really the beginning?.’
After tossing and turning for a while due to anxiety and anticipation, I fell asleep..
And the next morning.
To be exact, around 7 a.m. on the 18th day..
“Wow, I really went to the 5th floor.…….”
After finishing packing up, we entered the portal..
「5I entered the Daimagyeong floor..」
With this, the first half of the class has graduated..
It's time to go on some real exploration..
