Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 170
170fire burning (2)
A huge mirror emitting red light.
About thirty explorers are gathered below..
The blue wolf emblem on each chest signified that they belonged to one clan..
“It's shift time!”
At the shout of a man, one of the teams lined up in front of the mirror switched places with the person who had finished the break..
And began to mechanically hunt the monsters that appeared through the mirror..
5A sight that every floor explorer must have seen at least once..
“……go somewhere else.”
Explorers who arrived here by chance saw these people and turned away helplessly..
It's already familiar.
5Because the whole floor was like this..
“stop! This is the territory of our Nevis Wolf Clan, so please go somewhere else..”
If it were a normal team, backlash itself would be impossible..
5This is because most of the large clans on the floor are usually skilled people who can operate even on the 6th floor..
For your information, there was only one reason why such talented people were killing it on the 5th floor..
6Because the floors are monopolized by larger clans..
This makes a lot more money.
“Vice leader, what is the total supply and demand today??”
24They hunt in shifts to collect magic stones, and those who are dissatisfied are driven out by force..
“The essence of the Doomfire Fairy has appeared. Is there anyone who will buy it?!”
5When the grade essence is obtained, it is put in a test tube and sold in the city, and the lower value is passed on to nearby explorers at a low price..
An explorer looking for experience points?
Even he is accepted as a guest and maximizes profits..
“I'll cast a binding spell on you, so don't get involved in the battle and stay behind for a while..”
Just like that, today was the time when I went hunting repeatedly, taking the fruits of the labyrinth..
“Captain! This is Berthas.!”
“what?”
The man who was resting in the back and directing the clan quickly got up and walked over to the mirror..
Beyond that, a monster was visible..
[Ohhhhh-!!]
Two horns sprouting from the forehead.
3A muscular body over 100m.
Berthas, a demon-type monster with black wings covering his upper body and four arms..
“I'm lucky today.”
The corner of the man's mouth became long and curved..
It was a guy I met for the first time in a year..
‘How much was it when it was sold last time??’
5I remember that it was sold at a fairly high price to the Magic Tower due to its rarity..
Even so, the amount of magic stone income during this exploration was below the standard, but this alone will be more than enough to make up for the loss..
“Everyone stand in your own formation.!”
For the first time in a long time, the man took out a weapon and stood in front of him. And waited for Berthas to completely come out of the mirror..
“comes out!”
A giant foot slowly steps beyond the door.
I had low expectations from the looks in the eyes of the clan members..
No one worried about battle.
The wizards have completed the spell with the highest fire power..
It was a rare monster, but it was only a level 5 monster, so it was clear that the battle would end the moment it appeared..
Yeah, I definitely should have done that.…….
[Behel—laaaaa!!]
A human roar was heard beyond the mirror..
At the same time, the guy who was taking a step outside turned his back and took a step back..
“……What are they?!”
He couldn't understand the situation at all..
***
“Behel—laaaaa!”
Berthas unleashes [Wild Eruption] with all his might and turns his head at the same time..
Soon the mirror that had formed under his feet disappeared..
Fortunately, it seems that aggro was well attracted..
‘Huh, I thought I missed it.’
Monsters that exist in the other world enter the labyrinth through that mirror..
Simply put, it means that if we had been a little late, we might not have been the ones to catch that guy..
[Ohhhhh-!!]
As soon as I raised my shield, the guy rushed at me..
Kwaang-!
The perceived strength is lower than that of the troll..
As expected, it is the #1 monster that does not deserve its face..
What happened was some kind of 3rd grade go away..
“Mr. Yandel, it's okay.?”
“It's worth it, don't worry about me!”
“Everyone, except Mr. Yandel, please step aside. First, you need to know what abilities are.!”
The first enemy I encountered whose identity I did not know..
Raven was embarrassed and gave the first order..
Well, you don't need to be that careful..
‘……It would look strange if I pretended to know something here..’
1:1 I was confident that I would be able to hold on for hours if it was a composition, so I decided to watch without saying anything..
To be honest, I wasn't even the slightest bit curious..
What decision would our wizard make in a situation where there is no knowledge whatsoever??
“Marde Guarjour.”
The first magic Raven used was ‘measurement of magic power’..
The same thing I used to exchange magic stones at the checkpoint..
“Fortunately, it's about level 5.!”
First, the danger level of the monster was measured..
But that's all I've found so far.
The rest must be inferred through practice..
Kwakwang!
Soon, his fist and my shield made contact and an explosion occurred..
[scars of explosion].
“There was no sign of the energy moving. I think it's probably an embodied ability.…….”
First of all, I got it right about being passive..
So what are the trigger conditions?.
Quang! bang! Kwakwang!
As explosions continued beyond my shield, Raven watched the battle closely from afar..
and concluded.
“Same spot! An explosion occurs when the same point is struck.!”
……That's correct.
I never thought I'd get this right so quickly.
“So how long are you going to keep watching??”
“uh… … . It looks fine on its own, but wouldn't it be better to observe more first? Mr. Karlstein or Mr. Einar could be seriously injured..”
Well, I'm not going to get seriously hurt.?
For some reason, I feel both disappointment and pride as a tank..
“If there's any danger, I'll throw you a potion right away.!”
“advanced?”
“yes, advanced!”
If that's the case.
I don't know if it's because of my mood, but from what I've experienced, the upper level was the least painful..
Even if you have pain tolerance, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt..
“Oh, you can also use your wing feathers like arrows? Since the energy doesn't move or anything, I think it's just a characteristic of the individual.!”
Anyway, Raven's voice became lighter, probably because she thought it wasn't a very dangerous enemy at our level..
“Mr. Yandel, would you like to hit me with the mace? There may be something that only activates when you hit it.…….”
It looks like analyzing a monster you've seen for the first time is quite enjoyable. I think this was the first time our wizard was this excited, so I obediently followed the instructions..
Kwasik-!
Soon, I hit one of the four arms with a [swing], and the joint was bent in a deformed manner..
Wings that unfold instantly.
“It's an ability!”
One of Berthas' three active skills.
[wings of greed].
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Ambient air being sucked in like a drain vortex..
3After about a second of inhalation, the wings folded with a snapping sound, and the broken arm was completely healed..
“It's a regenerative ability.!”
I looked around, but I immediately cast a 'deterioration' spell to make sure I didn't want to just suck my fingers..
‘Hehe, I hope this comes out…….’
The real value of this guy is in the passive, but if you're going to eat it, it's better to pick something that can be used in the active as well..
「Berthas cast [Legion of Hatred].」
「Berthas casted [Destruction Ray].」
Of course, summoning demons or beaming beams is a bit weird for barbarians.?
Whoa whoa-!
After easily avoiding the 'Destruction Ray', which has a casting time of a whopping 3 seconds, I casted [Giantization]..
Well, permission has been given now..
“I think all of these abilities have been confirmed now.!”
“Uh, then I can just go and fight now.?”
The moment of treatment you've been waiting for.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
While Einar held the great sword and destroyed the summoned demons, Mr. Bear and Raven took out their special moves and took aim..
「Avman Urikfried casted [Hazardous Substance].」
「Arua Raven cast the level 5 attack magic [Thunder Spear].」
Our team's strongest dealing machine that even trolls, synonymous with survivability, could not withstand..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A huge explosion occurred and Berthas' body turned into a halo of light..
「Berthas has been defeated. EXP +5」
Light particles fluttering with black smoke.
Perhaps curious about the result, Raven used wind magic to remove the smoke..
Then the white essence appears.
“Me, Sudang Jeong!!”
The [Wings of Greed] that I had longed for has appeared.
Although it only beat the 33.3% chance,…….
‘It really popped up all at once..’
Suddenly I feel a little anxious.
***
5The essence of grade monsters has appeared.
So there are two options.
Either put it in a test tube and sell it, or one of your team members pays money to absorb it..
“What are you going to do??”
“I think it would be good for Einar to have this..”
“Eh? me!!?”
Einar's fuss was all neatly ignored..
Although I am a party to this matter…….
I am a man who will become a barbarian lord in the future.
Simply put, I can speak for all barbarians..
“Hmm… … . Even though I haven't properly checked what kind of integer it is yet.?”
Skills were confirmed through battle..
However, you have to try it to find out what skills this essence contains. Moreover, just as important as skills are the basic stats attached to the essence..
“Considering that, I hope they make it a little cheaper..”
“How much?”
“1,600ten thousand stones.”
When I made the first suggestion, Einar blushed..
“1,600ten thousand stones?!!”
“Einar, please be quiet. huh? Bjorn is talking.”
“Ah, I got it.!”
Although the conversation was interrupted for a moment, Raven did not laugh and continued the conversation with a serious face..
“Divided by four, I only have 4 million stones..”
Well, that doesn’t work either..
That's why I said 16 million..
“I think the amount is too low. It's a monster so rare that I didn't know about it, right? Above all, if I sell it in a test tube, 40% is my share..”
“……I will let you do research instead..”
“Are you selling me to a wizard?!!”
“Hmm, just like Mr. Yandel did before.?”
This look is quite appetizing..
After all, research is better than money for a wizard..
As I gained momentum, I took out the cards I had prepared one after another without any hesitation..
“Besides, if you put it in a test tube and use distortion magic on it, won't you be able to use it anymore?.”
In short, if you find a treasure, wouldn't it be a shame to use distortion magic on it?.
Raven also shook her head as if she was greedy..
“There are only a few days left... … . Certainly, we cannot rule out that possibility yet..”
Okay, I think he's done persuading me at this point..
Next it was Mr. Bear's turn..
“What do you want to do, Urikfried? Even if I make up for the loss with research,…….”
“I do not care. Haven't you already earned enough? The reason I came here in the first place was because Bjorn found him..”
“Well, that's true, but... … . Are you sure it's okay? I don't even know how much this will sell for..”
“So you say it doesn't matter? If the barbarian girl gets stronger, it's good for us too..”
“Okay, so that's the end of the story..”
Now Einar must go to the city and pay Mr. Bear and Mr. Raven 4 million stones each..
This means that even though I earned a lot this time, I will return to being penniless again..
“Come on, eat it before it disappears..”
Still, Einar seemed happy about the new essence, and took it without any resistance..
「[Bertas’s Essence] seeps into Einar Pnellin’s soul..」
A halo of black light that instantly seeps into the skin as soon as it comes in contact with it..
Raven's eyes lit up with curiosity..
“Well, how do you feel? The most notable change is?”
“uh… … I think I've gotten stronger…….”
“Hmm, that's ambiguous. I guess I'll have to go back to the city and research the abilities later. Would you like to try this ability first??”
“This, this ability?”
“Oh, it might be hard to imagine..”
Soon, Raven recalled the three abilities Berthas showed earlier and gave a tip to use soul power..
“It's also good to say the lines out loud. That's what I do when I first learn magic..”
“Uh, uh… I'll give it a try.”
Under Raven's instructions, Einar began using Berthas' active skills one by one in order..
“Me, come out! You devils!!”
Summoner [Legion of Hatred].
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!”
Long-distance attack aircraft [Destruction Ray]].
and…….
“wing!!!”
[wings of greed].
Well done-!
The wings of light spread behind my back and flapped..
It's called Barbarian (female) Valkyrie mode..
“Have I become a Valkyrie??!”
Einar, who was looking around and looking at herself, exclaimed with an extremely happy face..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
I'm glad you seem to like it.
