Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 171
171fire burning (3)
[After it was revealed that [Wings of Greed] had won.
Raven treated Einar like a puppet and tested her performance..
First of all, the most important thing.
“I can't fly……!!”
Flight using wings is impossible.
Also, since the wings were made of light, not only was it impossible to attack or defend using them, but he couldn't even move his wings of his own volition..
Wings that just move according to my mood.
Puduk, puduk!
Oh my, I feel bad..
But you also have to think about balance..
If you can fly with just this, it's a scam.?
“……Still, it suits you very well..”
“Yeah, it really looks really strong..”
“Is it true??!”
The wings started fluttering again at the word that I looked strong..
Puduk-!
Well, this must feel good just by looking at it..
Well, from what I can see, the wings are pretty cool..
The effect of sucking in the surrounding air every time it recovers is also quite spectacular..
“If I had known this would be the case, I think it would have been okay for Mr. Yandel to have it. Don't you regret it??”
“huh?”
“Since the vampire essence is gone, there is no longer any ability related to health regeneration..”
Ah, that's what you said.
But it's not the essence that suits me..
First of all, passive is not suitable for tanks..
In the first place, you can get a certain amount of regenerative power just by looking at the stats, and there are much better ones out there, so why bother??
‘Above all, I have good compatibility with Einar..’
[The effect of [Explosion Scar] is simple..
Explodes when hitting the same area twice.
In the game, it felt like a critical hit..
It increases accuracy or explodes a little better against dull monsters.?
However, with [Repeated Cut], it's a different story..
“Then let’s move on.”
After resuming exploration, a group of monsters soon appeared, and everyone was able to clearly see Einar's growth with their own eyes..
Kwaang!
[An explosion that explodes as soon as [Repeated Cut] is used.
7The monster's head immediately exploded and became light and disappeared..
It's so powerful that even Raven, who was watching, was taken aback..
“……Did you really think about this when you gave Einar the essence? Because of the one guess I mentioned, that it explodes when it hits the same spot.?”
Well, it's not a guess to me..
Of course, I couldn't say that, so I just gave it a rough outline..
“You are the wizard of our team. Of course I trust your judgment..”
“uh… … . I'm grateful for that.…….”
As expected, Raven was unable to respond and kept her mouth shut. Meanwhile, Ainar was struggling among the monsters, unable to control her excitement..
“Behel—laaaa!!!!”
An explosion blooms every time you swing your sword..
Quang! Kwaang!
Thanks to the dual stats (strength and agility) attached to Berthas' essence, movements are much smoother and more powerful than before..
Of course, since I was not attracting aggro from the front, injuries continued to pile up on my body.…….
“wing!!!”
[When I cast [Absorb Life] and [Wings of Greed] together, the injury healed quickly..
‘Is this enough to capture the character concept?.’
Also known as Berserker Barbarian.
I watched Einar's battle without hiding my satisfaction..
I also felt a little envious.
Before I learned about Shield Baba, I always developed my characters that way..
Because an exciting battle is a man’s dream itself..
‘……It wouldn't be a bad idea to increase the strength level and allow the use of dual swords.?’
I thought about it for a moment.
A barbarian warrior who roams the battlefield spinning like a whirlpool, holding a huge greatsword in both hands..
But there is even a wing of light skin behind it.?
Oh wow.
‘That's cool.’
Maybe vicarious satisfaction is possible.
“rain, bjorn!”
“I get it. Let me help you now.”
However, my character's level of perfection was still low enough to overcome the numerical inferiority, so I slowly joined in and finished the battle..
But was that alone impressive enough??
“Wow, you can become that strong with just one essence.…….”
Misha looks at me a little enviously..
Well, he doesn't have any essence level 5 or higher yet..
4You might feel deprived when you see Einar, who has consumed level 5 essence..
First of all, he is a 0-year explorer like me..
“Don't worry. You too will become stronger.”
“Yes…….”
Missha suddenly felt downcast, but there was nothing else she could say right away..
I plan on going to get the essence once I get everything I can from Hellfire Canyon..
It will take about half a year?
It will take several years to master that sword, which is the core of the ice dual-wielding swordsmanship..
‘5When I get up to the floor, I have a lot of work to do..’
Afterwards, we collected only the magic stones and continued our exploration..
A huge forest with trees burning brightly and radiating desolation..
As I was moving forward and killing monsters, time passed quickly and the 30th day had already dawned..
[08 : 10]
Only 16 hours left until the labyrinth closes..
‘We've finally arrived. It was close..’
A huge monument appeared between the trees..
“Everyone stop!”
“Uh, it's like a trap.?”
“I don't know. But it could be.”
Raven becomes wary as soon as she sees the artificial sculpture..
Although it is a very desirable attitude,…….
‘It's just a tombstone.’
That tombstone had no function in the game..
For reference, the same monument exists even if you go to a field in a different direction than this one, and it functions like a kind of landmark..
It's like a sign that this is the center..
Well, there may just be hidden elements that I haven't figured out.…….
‘That's probably not likely.’
I was suspicious too, so I tried all sorts of crazy things, but nothing came out..
“So what are you going to do??”
“First, prepare for battle. It may be something that is summoned when you enter the radius..”
“That's right.”
In this situation, it would not be good to ignore the wizard's opinion, so I obediently followed the instructions..
Fortunately, Raven was cautious but not the type to waste time meaninglessly..
“I don't feel any magic. Still, just in case, I'll approach you slowly..”
Soon, we gradually narrowed the distance and stood in front of the monument..
Of course there were no monsters coming out..
“Mr. Yandel, would you like to touch the tombstone??”
Yes, this is something they make me do, no matter what.?
I just touched it because I knew it was safe..
As expected, the tombstone has no response.
“Can I stay for a while and check things out??”
“If you want.”
Even at Raven's request, he said just that..
Still, since it is a real-life version, I thought I might be able to get clues that I couldn't find in the game..
30 minutes passed like that..
“Raven, stop it and go..”
“Oh no! A man-made structure nestled in a forest like this? There must be some story behind it.!”
It looks like he fell into the same trap as me..
I wasted months thinking about that.?
“Ugh, I guess I'll figure it out in just a little bit more.…….”
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
“There isn't much time, right? If you're really curious, go out later and look for related records..”
When I drew a clear line, Raven gave up her regrets and followed my words. Whatever it is, he's the kind of person who doesn't like to be a nuisance to others..
Simply put, easy to handle.
“Okay then let's go.”
Afterwards, I explored the surroundings focusing on the monument..
The reason is that there might be something nearby. Since we couldn't go far for the rest of the day anyway, we all agreed without saying anything..
‘If you've fallen this far, it's time to come out.…….’
That was when we devoted ourselves to searching for about two hours..
“Bjorn! Hey, look over there!”
Misha pointed to a place and shouted..
“……house?”
In the middle of a forest full of monsters and burning everywhere..
2There was a one-story brick house standing there..
‘Phew, you don't have to come again next time..’
It was exactly what I was looking for.
***
The blackened wooden door opens weakly..
It's good.
Well, I said.
It bothered me for some reason, so I just ripped it off and threw it on the floor..
“Hey, please don't break anything.?”
“……The nagging.”
“No, I'm not nagging.—”
“I get it. Be careful.”
What can you say about just breaking a door?.
“……It's kind of an eerie place..”
Inside a building that looks like a ruin.
We used magic to confirm that there were no monsters, but we carefully searched the inside in case there were traps..
Still, it didn't take long.
The sofa, the exterior walls, everything had burned down, leaving only the skeleton behind..
I quickly finished searching the first floor and went up to the second floor..
And I found a book in what seemed to be a bedroom..
“Raven! it's your favorite book!”
The book is relatively intact, perhaps because it is inside the drawer..
Of course, everything on the outside was black and burned, but there were some pretty good pages on the inside..
‘……Was there something like this??’
Items that could not be found in the game.
Raven's eyes lit up as she took the book from Einar and carefully opened it..
“It's written in ancient language..”
“Can you read it??”
“yes. This is my specialty. Anyway, it looks like a diary..”
Raven soon reads the contents of the book out loud as if to show off her knowledge..
It was quite interesting.
[192The rescue team did not come again today. Now there are only three of us left on the expedition. Tarbien suggested building a house, and I suggested doing the same. The devil meat was disgustingly tasteless today too..]
[271Well, a fairly decent house has been completed. The three of us drank the wine we had saved. How long has it been since I laughed and talked like this? Damn it, if Zephyrus hadn't been so drunk and said such strange things, I would still be in a great mood..]
[What are you doing living when the world is destroyed??]
[Even if everything burns down, there is hope..]
[As proof, we are still alive.]
[467On this day, Tarbien became pregnant. Whose child is this? Neither I nor Zephyrus asked. Ah, Tarbien. She is a wiser and more pitiful woman than anyone else. I'm craving alcohol today.]
[672Day. No, is it 673 days? I don't know, but something big has happened. The fire orb began to lose its power. The outer wall is already getting scorched by fire. The only one who can fix it is the wizard Tarbien. But even if she prolongs her term by sacrificing her life, what's the point in that??]
[711First, for the first time in a long time, I agreed with Zephyrus..]
[today we die.]
[If the world has not been destroyed by a witch, and someone finds this place someday, I hope they will use that item in the basement to save the world..]
A diary in which the name of the speaker does not even appear.
And there are only four intact pages..
However, Raven, who was reciting the last words, was completely shocked..
“A witch?…….”
“Why are you so surprised??”
“I was wondering if it was because it was written in an ancient language... … . The person who wrote this diary is a person from our dimension.!”
“Yes?”
‘So what?' Missha with that look in her eyes.
However, Raven didn't have the presence of mind to kindly explain..
“what? Oh, because this is another dimension? So are there any records from that time? No, then how did these people get here??”
Raven mutters to herself as if organizing her thoughts..
But surprisingly, the time was short..
“cellar! Let’s go to the basement first! If this is true, there must be something underneath it..”
“good idea.”
1After going back down to the first floor and removing the collapsed furniture, a path leading to the basement was revealed..
It was quite dark, so I used light sphere magic..
plod, trudge.
When I went down, I found a small space measuring 3 pyeong..
It appears to have been used as a warehouse to store food and goods.…….
There was a box that looked precious just by looking at it..
“I will open it.”
“Oh, would you like to??”
Yes, the work I've done before is finally paying off..
‘It must have been natural?’
I opened the box with that thought in mind..
There was a bead inside.
Before Raven could open her mouth to say anything, she put her hand away..
