Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 169
169fire burning (1)
The world beyond the mirror.
A kind of hidden field similar to Larkaz's maze..
The difficulty level right after entering this place is quite high..
That's because monsters are pouring in from the beginning..
“Bjorn! It comes again!!”
As soon as one battle is over, a horde of monsters rushes in again..
The scale is different from before..
7The class of beast species Flame Wolf is eight..
6Grade Natural Salamander 5.
And there are three grade 5 redwood plants..
“Raven, is the magic far away?!”
As soon as I shouted, blue light erupted from Raven's wand..
“Nara Brigiano Thun!”
5Grade Wide Area Freezing Magic [Ice Rain].
The English name in the game is called Blizzard..
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure-!
Gray clouds forming in the sky pour out sharpened ice picks.
Kwakwakwakkwak.!!
More than half of the monsters were destroyed by a single spell..
Of course, level 5 monsters were fine even in this wide area..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
[Connection between [Wild Eruption] and [Giantization].
Thanks to the increased threat level, monsters flock to me even if I don’t do anything..
Why tanks are as important as mages here.
[Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
I focused only on defense, blocking Redwood's stem whip with my shield..
aka barbarian turtle mode.
[If you use [Swing], you can catch at least one animal by yourself.…….
It is better to save your soul power..
[When [Giantization] is released, the threat level drops..
“First, deal with the Salamander first.!”
While I was in charge of the Redwood set, the wizard prepared his magic for the next wave..
So now it's the rest of the dealers' turn to play..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
With long-distance support from Uncle Bear, Einar and Misha went out to capture the monsters in earnest..
It took about 3 minutes to clear the mobs..
‘Since there are two dealers, clearing out random mobs is quick..’
Afterwards, the five of us worked together to defeat a level 5 monster..
But there is no time to rest.
“……Here you come again.”
A horde of monsters came after hearing a sound as soon as one battle was over..
We repeated the sequence over and over again, and had fought about ten more battles..
“Mr. Yandel, I don't have much horsepower anymore..”
Raven's magic power, which used a lot of AoE skills, was reduced to less than a third..
Of course, there was no big problem.
The first wave was almost over..
“Don't use attack magic, just help support..”
“yes!”
Afterwards, Raven's remaining magical power was used to curse the enemy or buff the team..
Around that time, my [giantification] was over..
It looks like Mr. Bear, who was firing explosive arrows a lot, doesn't have much soul power left anymore..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
As the performance of the three of us becomes more difficult, Einar and Misha. In short, the importance of the Geundil sisters has increased..
Normal DPS is also close damage..
“Woooooo!! This is the battle I wanted!!!”
Einar's excitement reached its peak as he dealt with countless enemies..
As barbarians are called a fighting race, being excited actually helped..
‘Did he fight this well??’
It looks like he's swinging a great sword crudely, but he avoids everything he can avoid..
Combat skills as if you took some kind of stimulant.
‘Well, you said you also trained swordsmanship there.…….’
The combat sense itself seems to be superior to Misha's..
Anyway, the battle was nearing its end, so we changed our formation..
“Abman, now send him this way.!”
Cheolwoong Iradun is our team's assistant tanker..
Woongi for short.
[Wow-!]
Even Woongi, who was protecting the ADC from the rear, joined the battle line and gave strength to the front line..
Well, it really seems like everyone is at their limit now..
The wizard's magical energy has completely run out, and even support has been cut off..
Kwasik! Kwasik! Whiuuuuuung!
Mace, sword and large crossbow arrows.
It's really been a while since I've been pushed to my limit, so I'm clearing out the remaining monsters with just basic attacks that don't contain skills..
“I think it's over now…….”
The battle ended with the burning skull being smashed with a mace..
Hundreds of magic stones spread on the floor.
“But, the color of the magic stone was originally this dark.?”
“It’s a characteristic of this space. It's about twice as dense..”
Simply put, it means that the double event is being applied..
It took Raven a few minutes just to use up the remaining magic power to collect it..
Ah, one integer also came out..
“If that's the case, I saw it! A guy wearing a bunch of human heads came out from the dead.!”
“You mean headhunter?.”
Flame type undead grade 7 monster.
So I coolly threw it away.
If you eat it, it will be useful.…….
Now, even level 5s hunt every day, so there's no reason to eat this..
“Ugh, throw it away……?”
At my decision, Einar stared at me with eyes full of regret, like a child who spilled candy..
Well, it still doesn't work.
swarm.
“It's not a good essence for you. So bear with it even if it’s disappointing.”
“……I get it!”
If you pick up anything, you have to erase it later, so you end up spending more money..
But did I like the idea of throwing away the loot??
“But wouldn’t it be okay to put it in a test tube and sell it??”
Einar shouts Eureka and comes up with a new proposal..
It has been sorted out by our wizard line..
“No. There is no test tube value below grade 6. From the beginning, I was told that there was only one item I could take out of here..”
“huh? There is only one? What are you talking about??”
“I don't know why. However, it is said that the items obtained here can only be taken out using the 'distortion' spell, and only one is possible..”
If Raven didn't know, I should have explained the field characteristics..
“You have to choose carefully what you take with you. Integer is also integer... … . I've heard of people getting very valuable items here..”
“It's a precious thing…….”
I decided on what to take with me anyway..
But I'm quite curious.
Does anyone know anything about that stuff??
I asked for more details, but Raven drew a line, saying that was all she knew..
“It is difficult to find this kind of information through books. I heard it over and over again in the first place..”
Well, from the 5th floor onwards, it is classified as advanced information..
Even minor achievements are treated as intellectual property and are not easily shared..
In the case of clans, there are places in the labyrinth where work cannot be mentioned at all..
It's not for nothing that he's obsessed with crack history..
“Everyone, take a break first. I will stand guard.”
I took a break after a fierce battle..
Then I checked the current situation..
“Raven, how long does it take to reach full magical power??”
“12 hours if you meditate or sleep. Or it takes another day.”
“Right.”
5This is why it is said that it has better melee damage than a wizard, limited to floors. It takes a while for wizards to replenish their magic power..
“From now on, save your magic power as much as possible..”
“I'm going to continue exploring like this.?”
“Isn’t it a place you can easily get into? I need to explore as much as possible. Maybe you'll find that precious thing you talked about.”
“That's definitely true. I don't know when I'll be able to come here again…….”
So this problem is over.
15After replenishing our stamina for a few minutes, we resumed our exploration..
Although it was a forced march, no one complained..
Didn’t you see the magic stones and essence already pouring out?.
“It's been a while since I told my wife to stretch my shoulders..”
Mr. Bear's mouth was caught in my ear..
Anyway, he is a very family man..
“Abman, is there a place where a portal can be detected??”
“I can feel it vaguely from far away..”
Fields where compass does not work.
I took direction using my guiding ability..
“……If you're going the opposite way, why did you ask??”
Because that's where I'm going.
Of course, I couldn't say that..
“Because there is a high possibility that the portal is an exit. Wouldn’t something come out if we went to the other side?.”
A plausible reason that I just put together.
However, since it wasn't wrong, I was able to quickly get Raven's support..
“ah! that's right. I saw that there was a portal in the mirror..”
Huh, this is why you need to have a reasonably smart character..
“Okay then, let's go.”
22Day 1, around 7pm.
The day is almost over, there's still about a week left..
You have to hurry to pick the mulberries..
***
mirror of fire.
This field has one peculiarity..
It takes a day for monsters to respawn..
Thanks to this, once the hunting is over, the area temporarily becomes a safe zone..
In many ways, this is a fortunate part..
If you're in a place where hundreds of monsters flock every time, you won't be able to sleep well..
「Defeated the Hell Guardian. EXP +4」
「The gremlin has been defeated. EXP +2」
「You have defeated the Doom Warrior. EXP +5」
「Defeated a Chaos Insect EXP +2」
「Defeat the Doomfire Fairy…….」
We left the wilderness, which was our starting point, over three days, defeating various monsters that could not be hunted due to the clans that controlled the field..
Progress is much slower than I expected..
‘The map size is large, but there are too many monsters..’
Once a battle occurs, surrounding monsters gather one after another upon hearing the sound..
Of course, it's better than the beginning, when people gathered from all over the place..
You only had to worry about enemies coming from the front, and it was possible to retreat back if necessary..
However, as the forced march continued, stamina and MP were depleted, and the hunting speed itself slowed down..
Because of that, there were a few times when I was almost in danger..
In the end, I had to take breaks periodically..
‘Still, the speed at which magic stones were opened was crazy..’
It’s not for nothing that I call it Burning Zone..
Large-scale battle using magic.
In addition, there is a magic stone double event.
When I come here, I really start to feel like I'm making money with magic stones. Until then, all the jackpots were equipment obtained by killing looters..
‘After all, hunting is driven hunting..’
26day 1 morning.
After finishing camping in front, we entered a new field in earnest..
Grumbling!
burning forest.
As the name suggests, a field where trees are engulfed in black flames and burning 365 days a year..
However, fire damage is minimal..
Not only is the gap between each tree quite wide, but it is also coated with [Cold Blood], which increases fire resistance..
For your reference, there are three reasons why I chose this place..
First of all, the battle difficulty is the lowest..
“Well, it's not as big as I thought.?”
“Yes, I was a little anxious, but I think this is easier than where I was before. No level 5 monsters appear..”
Although the number of individuals is large, they are all levels 6 and 7..
Of course, easier means less reward..
However, if you go in the other direction, the Ashen Mountains and Lava Lake are still quite difficult for us to conquer..
There is nothing to eat at the altar of the dead with a portal..
In that sense…….
Two, you have to get it first so it will be easier in the future..
It is a hidden item in the heart of the Burning Forest..
If you have this, you will not only be able to attack the other field when you come back here later, but you will also be able to enter the island on the 6th floor..
“Don't relax too much. I don't know what will come out.”
Although I gave a warning out of habit, I also increased my speed significantly after entering the forest..
It took longer than expected, so I'm not sure if I can arrive on time..
“The trees are all burned down here.?”
“Take a rest here today.”
After fighting and moving around all day, we unpacked our sleeping bags at the camping point as the sun set..
And the next morning.
‘It's finally here.’
Encountered a monster.
“Arua! What is his name??”
“Uh, that… … I don't know either.”
A monster whose name and level are unknown even to Raven, who has spent her entire life reading books..
There is only one monster in the burning forest..
The clan that controls the 5th floor field connected to this forest is also a rare monster that may or may not be encountered once a year..
[Ohhhhh-!!]
5Grade Rare Berthas.
This was the third reason why I chose Burning Forest..
“Behel—laaaaa!”
This guy is guaranteed to drop essence..
