Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 168
168Hua Dae-magyeong (3)
explorer.
A profession that enters labyrinths, hunts monsters, and mines magic stones. The general public thinks that fighting monsters is the biggest challenge for this profession..
but…….
“If you actually ask explorers, you'll get completely different answers..”
absence of light.
Not being able to sleep when you want to sleep.
Meals like feed and a built-up sexual desire.
Sweaty body and dirty bed.
“It is less so in lower levels where the exploration period is short. However, the higher the level of explorers, the more likely they were to say that this part was more difficult than combat..”
“Um, I see..”
“yes. It is said that from the 7th floor onwards, it is common for large clans to take a two- to three-month rest period in the city after completing an expedition..”
As someone who belongs to this profession, it was completely understandable..
but…….
“so?”
22day tea afternoon.
To be precise, what is the point of saying this when it is meal time and I am about to take some beef jerky out of my bag and eat it?.
He wouldn't do this without a purpose..
“If you want something, just say it..”
When I stared at him with a look that told me to get to the point, Raven responded in a voice full of determination..
“Let’s eat something real today. It's not beef jerky, it's cooking using fire..”
Huh, yeah, that was the purpose..
Who's not a wizard? If you say you want to eat something delicious today, that's it..
I thought briefly and answered.
“Okay, sure..”
“No matter how much of a leader Mr. Yandel is, he still has to ask about the opinions of his team members... … . yes? I beg your pardon?”
“said it was good.”
“Uh, really.?”
Raven's eyes widened, as if she thought she would be rejected..
Well, you probably knew it was an unreasonable claim..
This is not the 4th floor.
There, I cooked and ate every day, and sometimes I even grilled and ate meat that had been preserved under a magic spell.…….
5Layer: Daemagyeong is a layered open world structure..
“Is that really okay? If the smell spreads, there's a good chance you won't be able to eat it properly because of the monsters.?”
“you… … . What on earth do you want??”
“Oh no… … Now that I think about it, I think magic can solve the smell problem to some extent..”
Now that I see it, I guess I just wanted to tell you this..
Anyway, when it was decided to cook and eat, Einar, who had been nervously eavesdropping on the conversation, opened his mouth..
“This is a wizard……?”
I think it was impressive that you got my permission with just a few words.…….
‘Now that we're on the 5th floor, we need to improve this too..’
Actually, it was something I was thinking about already..
The total exploration period is now one month..
You also need to pay attention to the stress of your team members..
When people become sensitive, even trivial things can make them angry..
“Then, Mr. Karlstein, please do me a favor. If you need water or fire, please let me know..”
“Uhm, then I'll turn on the fire.?”
“Is this enough??”
Soon, our team's official chef, Misha, started cooking with Raven's help..
The menu is tomato stew with lots of meat..
“It’s so delicious today too!!! Misha! Can you marry me later??”
“What are you talking about? Mr. Einar, I will take Mr. Karlstein with me..”
“Uh, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it's a bit much for both of us.…….”
Missha glances at me with her words blurred..
“…….”
“…….”
For your information, Mr. Bear and I stood guard while eating. Not a single monster appeared until the three of us had emptied all the dishes..
“Hmm, there really is almost no smell? What kind of magic is this??”
“I used air control magic and combustion magic. Gather the smells in one place and burn them..”
“Hmm, I see..”
Mr. Bear was delighted that he could have a humane meal even on the 5th floor..
This was the same for me too.
Honestly, I'm really sick of beef jerky..
“Now, then, go ahead and eat, you two. Now we will stand guard.”
Soon the two of us sat down and ate some stew in our bowls. As a barbarian and black bear macho man, 5 minutes was enough, and this time too, the monster did not appear until the meal was finished..
It wasn't just because of the effectiveness of the odor removal magic..
‘……Overall, the number of monsters has decreased..’
This is what I have felt for a few days: the number of monsters on the 5th floor is much lower than in the game..
Of course, there is a probable cause..
‘Damn clan bastards.’
The Great Demon Mirror has a structure in which mobs regenerate from mirrors located in each field and are released into the canyon..
But since the clans monopolize those hunting grounds and hunt for those who regenerate, there are bound to be fewer monsters crawling out..
‘……Well, thanks to that, I found it early..’
I smiled as I looked at the moss on the street corner..
It is different from other moss I have seen in passing..
Red moss and green moss mixed half and half..
And black moss the size of a bead formed at the point where the two moss meet..
‘The problem is how to induce this naturally.…….’
While I was thinking about it, a monster appeared in front of the car..
6There are eight ‘Hell Hounds’ level monsters..
It's easy to think of a wild dog with four eyes the size of a tiger. It's a bonus that my whole body is engulfed in black flames..
[Crrrrrrr-!!]
“ready for battle.”
Since this was a monster I had been hunting for several days, I entered the battle without any briefing..
The time it took for the battle to end was about 10 minutes..
“So now it's going to go down further?”
Raven asked what my plan was, and I thought about it for a moment..
There's still a long time left until camping..
How can I stay in this position without feeling uncomfortable?.
‘Sigh, if it weren't for the smell removal magic, I would have been fighting monsters by now..’
It was a moment when I was thinking about that and savoring my appetite..
‘……uh?’
The black moss in the corner has disappeared..
As if something invisible was taking it away..
‘……He already came?’
I placed my order quickly..
“Raven, I feel like something is with us..”
“yes? what is that—”
“Try using detection magic.”
4Is it because I got the measles once from a masked man on my floor? Despite instructions based on intuition, Raven used magic without questioning it..
“Dire Tanib Karsac.”
A wave of magic spreading in a circle.
Raven's expression soon became serious..
“there is. There's something in front of me.”
“Is it a person?”
I asked, pretending not to know, and instead of answering, Raven used 'search' magic..
Whoa whoa-!
A halo of light that sticks to the air like clay..
Soon the light died down and the figure of the guy who was hiding was revealed..
“……Yes?”
it was a squirrel.
It's about the size of a six or seven year old child..
It was sitting curled up in front of the moss, gnawing at the black moss with its front teeth..
[Wow?]
A squirrel tilting its head as if it sensed our gaze..
“Tsk… … ! Ears, cute!”
“Looks delicious!”
Misha and Einar let out exclamations at the same time..
The next thing Raven shouted in excitement was.
“It's Mila Roden! I have to kill it quickly.!!”
Yes, you understand..
How hard is this guy to meet?.
“Ah, right… … Because he’s a monster too…….”
Misha raises his sword with a somewhat sad face..
On the other hand, Mr. Bear loaded the crossbow with arrows faster than ever before..
It's not just one person who recognizes its value.
“You're lucky. I met Mila Roden on my first expedition..”
“Now, wait a minute. distortion! I haven't used the distortion spell yet.!”
Raven dissuaded Mr. Bear and quickly cast a magic spell..
‘Higher Distortion’ Magic, Not Just Distortion.
Now, when you kill the monster, there is a higher chance that the corpse will remain intact..
[Kyuun, kyuut-!!]
Whether it's Mila, who starts the game as soon as she gets hit by the distortion spell..
Maybe it was an instinct written into our DNA..
Most of our ancestors would have suffered from this..
“Abman!”
As soon as I shouted, a crossbow arrow was fired..
However, like one of the few herbivorous monsters in the labyrinth, this one avoids it with agile movements..
I immediately dashed forward and grabbed the tail..
[Beep! Bleep! Beep!!]
The guy struggled and let out a weak scream..
As I was doing this, I felt like I was harming animals again.…….
Well, what can I do?.
This is the providence of nature.
Slurp.
It was a car that stretched out its hand with the intention of killing it by exploding its head..
“wait a minute!”
Raven tried to dissuade me..
“Can't we just kill it as intact as possible? I heard that leather sells quite expensively too..”
Words like a wizard who pursues rationality.
I also obediently agreed and grabbed Mila Rodden by the neck and tail and tied her up..
and…….
“Missha.”
“Uh, huh? Just like I have to do?”
“Isn’t your sword the thinnest?.”
Einar uses a great sword, and Mr. Bear's arrows are too big to be arrows..
Needless to say, my mace.
Since this is a monster in name, it will be difficult to kill it by stabbing it cleanly with a regular knife..
“Poke between the eyes.”
“Ugh…….”
Misha looked somewhat reluctant, but in the end he drew his sword and gave him peace..
[Wow…….]
Mila looked limp as if the power went down..
I swallowed my saliva and counted the numbers..
‘1seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…….’
The time that would have originally disappeared into the light after being pronounced dead..
“Bjorn!! meat came out!”
the body didn't disappear.
***
7Grade Mila Rodden.
A squirrel carrying a mirror on its back.
It is classified as a rare species like Mimic..
It's so hard to meet.
“Hehe, thanks to Mr. Yandel, I caught a very precious monster. Mr. Urikfried has experience.?”
“It's my first time too. Because he’s that precious..”
5Even for Mr. Bear, who has been active on the floor for a long time, this is his first hunt..
Well, if you look at his habits, you can understand..
Non-first attack monster with constant hiding ability.
But if you use detection magic, you can't even go in there? In fact, it is a monster that can only be encountered if heavenly luck follows..
Of course, this is assuming you don't know about black moss..
‘If you wait here, you can catch it with just one detection spell..’
Of course, it's easier said than done, and I was only able to figure out this method after being stuck on the 5th floor for over a year..
Isn’t this a game full of all kinds of hidden pieces?.
I watched all the recorded files with the thought that there might be conditions for Mila Rodden to appear, and in one of the recorded files, I discovered the phenomenon of moss disappearing from the terrain..
At the time, I thought it was a bug, but…….
‘Jinseong Pervert Game.’
As a result, it was not a bug but a hidden element..
As soon as the moss disappeared, if you used detection magic, there was a 100% chance that Mila Rodden would appear. Of course, whether the distortion magic would be successful was another matter..
“It seems like the luck of a first-time traveler is with you. Even the distortion magic was successful in one go.—”
“Top distortion. It's not just distortion.”
“Ah oh. yes top distortion…….”
Mila Roden's distortion success rate in the game is 20%.
Even if it is high-level distortion, it is less than 30%..
So I thought I would have to catch three or four to get out..
“Anyway, would you give it to me??”
“I know how to slaughter?”
“This is something I did every day during my apprenticeship..”
The limp body was instantly dismantled into skin, intestines, and bones by the butcher knife held by Raven..
Much faster and more precise workmanship than Rotmiller.
Wow, being an expert is another field..
“But why is this thing so expensive??”
“Leather is in demand because of its scarcity, and tendons are used as magic ingredients. but… There are other things that are really worth it..”
Soon, Raven completed the butchering process by cutting out the mirror stuck to the back skin with a knife..
“It's this mirror.”
“mirror?”
“yes. You can't take it out into the city, but it can be very useful inside..”
Afterwards, Raven explained the purpose of the mirror in detail..
I looked at it with satisfaction..
‘Is this why you need a wizard on your team??’
Progress is much easier.
In the past, I had to explain everything from one to ten. Huh, can I live like an ordinary barbarian now??
“But I guess Mr. Yandel also has a good sense..”
“huh?”
“There's no way I could have sensed Mila Roden's presence..”
Raven looked at me with strange eyes, but I passed it on without any suspicion..
4He doesn't seem to think it makes sense since he also experienced something similar on the floor..
Okay, then this part is done..
“So how do you use this??”
In the game, all you had to do was attach the mirror to the wizard and click a button..
So what about in real life?.
“Uh, I'm not sure..”
huh?
“It’s not even written down to that point in the book. Wouldn't it work if I push the horsepower??”
“……Give it a try. Oh, wait a minute, let's do the bonding magic first. Because you never know.”
“good idea.”
After re-establishing the binding spell, Raven held the mirror and closed her eyes..
It seems like it's channeling magic power.…….
Since I was a barbarian with no magic talent, I couldn't feel anything in particular..
But how long has it been since then?.
flash-!
The mirror enveloped us, sprinkling brilliant light..
And when I came to my senses.
「The character entered the mirror of fire.」
We escaped from a labyrinth full of darkness and stood on a vast wilderness..
“The space suddenly changes, it's like I've entered a crack.!”
Uncle Bear’s review.
However, this place is completely different from the crack..
First of all, there is no guardian and it is not in the form of a dungeon..
An open world structure that is just infested with monsters..
So, say it again…….
[Go somewhere else, barbarian. This is our clan's territory..]
The world beyond the mirror where the clans sat and ate the monsters that came out..
I usually called this hidden field like this.
“Bjorn! Monsters are coming from all directions!”
“ready for battle!”
Burning Zone.
「Field effect - A side world is granted..」
「The drop rate of magic stones increases significantly..」
「Essence drop rate slightly increases,」
Let’s float just two integers, no more, no less..
