Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 189
189Hwa Temper (4)
The doppelganger's alter ego is different from the main body..
You can only use the abilities of the mimic, and those just summoned from the boss room have low intelligence..
No, should I say skill level??
Unlike the real Hans G, who summoned all summons at the start of the battle, the clones stutter and summon one at a time..
“First of all, one guy.”
Before the clones could do anything, Mr. Bear's crossbow pierced one between the eyes..
The rest followed similar steps soon after..
“I finished everything!”
30The news of victory was heard before even a second had passed..
I was worried that something crazy would happen since there were four Hans, but it was easily resolved for now..
thus…….
“Everyone, it's now!”
Before he summons his clone again, we need to hurry and deal damage to his body..
Well, it won't be easy.
“Hehehehe!!”
As everyone's attention was concentrated, the main body began to scream and run wild..
[Leap], [Swing], [Giant]].
and…….
「The nameless usurper casted [Flesh Explosion].」
Even the skill that I no longer use because I lost my regenerative ability..
This guy, who had the average stats of a level 5 monster in addition to my physical abilities, showed off his monster-like majesty as a boss mob..
“Everyone please step back.!”
In the end, Raven pulled back the close line..
It wasn't a bad decision.
2There is already enough damage with 1 archer against the Magistrate..
There is no reason to take risks and push close deals to the forefront. In the first place, while the doppelganger is taking on my appearance, the effectiveness of physical damage decreases..
“You three please protect us.!”
Misha, Einar, Blunt Warrior.
As the three main dealers changed their positions to dealer escorts, the team's back row became more comfortable firing from a distance..
‘Well, where are you going?.’
As high-power long-distance damage continued, the main body ignored me and tried to rush back, but each time I managed the threat level with [Wild Eruption] and drew aggro..
How long has it been since then?.
Pachichichit-!
[Flesh Explosion] was fired repeatedly, and a 'Thunder Spear' was inserted into the head of the guy whose body was in tatters, and the doppelganger changed its appearance into black slime..
‘Have you successfully overcome the first hurdle?.’
Of course, the first phase is still far from over..
The first phase ends only after all characters entering the boss room have transformed in order..
but…….
“uh! This time it's me!!”
Whoever of us comes out won't find it as difficult as me..
In fact, the battle with Einar, who was designated as the next person, was completed before the clone summoning pattern was even experienced twice..
Now there's no need to stay behind..
“Hehehehe!”
That was when I killed the doppelganger who turned into Einar..
Hehehehe-!
The magic circle drawn on the floor began to emit light and the entire cave began to tremble..
Oh, that doesn't mean it's a special move pattern or anything..
This means that the seal release rate has increased by 10%..
「Seal release rate 20%.」
It was only a few minutes after the boss battle started.…….
This is something I can't do anything about..
This is because when the battle begins, the speed at which the seal is released increases significantly..
‘It was about 5% per 10 clones summoned..’
This is the most fucked up part of this strategy..
No matter what you do, you cannot prevent the summoning pattern in advance, so an increase in the seal release rate is inevitable..
Well, it would be less burdensome if there was a second team out there to activate the seal stone, but isn't that what we are?.
‘I have no choice but to finish it before then..’
100%If the seal is lifted, it's game over..
Well, from then on, each of the alter egos becomes as strong as the main body..
The clone body even proliferates through [self-replication]..
“It's me this time.”
Next up was Raven..
Surprisingly, there was a slightly dizzying moment at this time..
Since casting time is essential for magic, I planned to finish it off with rapid fire.…….
The clone summoned in the middle was the problem..
Two out of four were me..
“Behel—laaa!”
“Behel—laaa!”
I don't know what kind of magic the doppelganger was trying to use..
However, Raven, who felt the concentration of magical power, shouted that if this continued, everyone would die, so it would have been a big deal if the magic had been completed..
Well, I exploded my head before that..
Kwasik!
Afterwards, the doppelgangers transformed in that order: Misha, Blunt Warrior, Partheian, and Uncle Bear, and we did our best to kill them as quickly as possible..
This means that the first phase is finally over..
Hehehehe-!
As soon as the phase was over, I whetted my appetite as I saw the magic circle light up once more..
‘The seal removal rate is 40% in the first phase.…….’
It was exactly what I expected..
Well, I still wanted to reduce it as much as possible..
“Stand in the same formation everyone said.!”
After erasing my regrets, I placed my order..
The doppelganger, who has completed the first phase, is undergoing transformation by repeatedly contracting and expanding in the center of the cave..
“Uh, if it's something that no one knows, it's an act.…….”
The doppelganger's voice rang throughout the cave..
It meant that the next phase would begin soon..
“What's the difference between that and the truth??”
Soon the doppelganger completed its transformation..
「The nameless usurper casted [Replace].」
It's time to start the second phase.
***
One of the doppelganger’s abilities [Swap]].
Efficacy is truly intuitive.
This skill changes the positions of the clone and main body created through [Self-replication]..
but…….
That's all from when I acquired skills with integers..
“……Why is it me from the beginning??”
“……Why is it me from the beginning??”
Raven increased by two.
The faces are the same, and there is no sense of heterogeneity in their tone of voice or facial expressions..
Please note that it is impossible to tell by location..
‘A long time ago, a wizard I worked hard to raise died because of this..’
I remember he was probably the first wizard I successfully recruited while playing [Dungeon & Stone]..
I was very shocked at that time..
Sigh.
I moved my gaze and looked at the ‘Stone of Truth’ rolling around on the floor like a toy..
Originally, the basic strategy was to use this to tell whether it was a doppelganger or not..
Well, the sealing rate increases instead..
We should never use this without any outside support..
So how do you tell the real thing?.
eat.
I smiled and stared at the two Ravens..
At first, even the lines matched, but here their words and actions diverged..
“Shoot, don't shoot!”
“What are you all doing? He's fake!”
One side is defending itself with a defensive line, while the other side is defending itself with a somewhat aggressive stance..
I muttered briefly..
“What should I do? Hurry up and don't shoot.”
Clunk, I heard the sound of Mr. Bear pulling the trigger from behind..
and…….
Powwow!
A large arrow, almost like a siege weapon, was fired and crushed Raven's small head..
dump.
A small body falling down helplessly.
“Uh, no way… … It was really Aruru……?”
“Murderer!!! you killed aruru!!!”
Everyone, including Misha, froze in shock..
but…….
“Is that possible? Everyone calm down..”
Soon, Raven's body, which had fallen to the floor, turned into black slime and floated in the air..
It means you got the answer right..
Oh, by the way, the offensive Raven was real..
“Okay then, go ahead and take the spare seat..”
I sent Raven, who had switched places with her doppelgänger, to the wall, and then approached the transforming slime..
“It's you this time.”
After waiting for a while with the mace raised, the doppelganger completed its transformation..
“Hehe! Put that thing down, barbarian old man.!”
what.
Powok-!
Without looking any further, I hit him on the head with the mace..
This time, as expected, the correct answer is.
In fact, it was natural.
Because doppelgangers cannot copy number items..
“Oh, but it's me, so I guess it's okay to worry a little bit.……?”
Missha is no. 5991 Possessing the fangs of a viper.
“Mr. Karlstein, what do you want from the barbarian??”
After receiving the 'broken trust' from Partheian, Raven held it in one hand throughout the boss battle..
“It's finally me. I will handle it..”
Mr. Bear's 'Deception of the Corpse Master'.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
Einar is wearing a ring called ‘Foxfire Knot’ that she obtained from the fairy archer..
It's not a useful option, so I'll go out and sell it..
Kwasik-!
Like this, the second phase of the doppelganger is possible if you have enough skills..
And do you realize it now??
「The nameless usurper casted [Replace].」
The doppelganger, who transformed into a warrior with blunt weapons, immediately made a surprise attack without saying a single word..
The target is the wizard with the lowest defense..
If it had been in a close formation like before, it would have been difficult to avoid that attack.…….
“I will stop it!!”
As soon as we entered the second phase, we kept our distance and stuck to the wall..
Simply put, it means there is enough time to respond to a surprise attack..
Kwaang-!
Einar's great sword exploded upon contact with the doppelganger's blunt weapon..
In that moment, Misha stabbed him from behind with his sword..
It ends with the interception of Uncle Bear and Raven..
“everyone go to their seats!”
After completing one turn, the doppelganger gathered the team members who had transformed once and formed a dense formation..
“What should I do, I'm not going?”
The blunt warrior quickly moves away as if he has come to his senses by my words..
A dim glow was coming from the shoes..
‘It is an inexpensive item numbered in the 9,000s, named ‘Footsteps of Abundance’..
It has some decent options for a warrior..
I didn't lend what I got as loot, I originally owned it..
Did you save up your money and buy it??
「The nameless usurper casted [Replace].」
Anyway, next was the middle-aged wizard Partheian..
‘He had lent Raven a 'broken trust', but there was no particular problem. Because the magic wand this guy was carrying was the number one item..
Kwasik-!
Since the target of the mimicry was a wizard, it did not take long to kill the person who had completed the transformation..
Now all that's left is me.
“Mr. Parthean.”
“You mean that? I'll be ready right away.”
The wizards who once faced great hardship from the doppelganger who transformed into me are already preparing the most powerful magic spells..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
As soon as the doppelganger finished its transformation, I pushed it back with my shield..
“The one in the back is fake!”
The magicians who completed the judgment in an instant fired a barrage of magic they had prepared..
Of course, like a tank, he didn't die in one hit.…….
Since there were no summons in the second phase, the magic did not stop midway..
Pachijijit! Quang! Fusuuuuk-!
High-power attack magic pouring down literally from the words..
Eventually, he couldn't hold on and fell down..
When I saw that, I felt somewhat bitter..
‘I need to quickly set up the anti-horsepower settings as well..’
There is still a long way to go as a tank..
***
Doppelganger's third phase.
So, we have already reached the final phase..
“Everyone please come here!”
Without me needing to order, Raven quickly led the people and formed a new formation..
and at that moment.
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd-!!
The cave shook violently as if there had been an earthquake..
Soil particles falling from the ceiling with a rustling sound.
“Hee hee, hee hee, hee hee, hee hee, hee hee!”
The doppelganger, who returned to a slime-like form, burst into bizarre laughter..
To be honest, I don't even know if it's creepy anymore..
I just had this question:.
Where on earth are you talking about when you don't even have a snout??
“be careful! If Mr. Yandel gets hit—”
“Don't worry. Because that won't happen.”
Raven's anxiety was briefly dismissed..
It wasn't because I was completely confident of victory..
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous too..
It has been my long-standing habit to always assume the worst and be wary of unknown variables..
However, sometimes showing confidence and leading the team is also a quality of a leader..
Wow.
I maintained just enough tension to heat my body and injected strength into the hand holding the mace..
The last phase is a kind of 'berserk'’.
From now on, every minute and second is important..
Because it summons clones of a scale that cannot be compared to the first phase..
Powwow-!
The black slime that had expanded to the extent that the viewer was tempted to think of a limit exploded..
Black particles spread throughout the cave..
The two wizards blew out flames as if they had been waiting to erase it, but…….
I couldn't erase even half of it..
Meanwhile, explosions were continuing..
「The nameless usurper casted [Self-Replication].」
「The nameless usurper casted [Self-Replication].」
「The nameless usurper casted [Self-Replication].」
The particles come together to form a shape, which soon mimics our own image..
Even at first glance, the number seems like dozens..
Not only Hans G, but also fairy archers, dwarves, and others that we will never see again after today appear here and there..
The wide cave suddenly became full..
“Don't be too afraid. Because the clone that comes out here is not as strong as before.!”
As Raven said, these guys are much weaker than the guys we saw earlier. Maybe if I hit just one or two, it would explode and disappear into smoke..
However, there is another scary thing about the 'berserk' state..
「Seal release rate 50%」
「Seal release rate 60%」
The magic circle on the floor continues to emit light, indicating that the release rate has been updated..
If this continues, the seal will be broken in less than a few minutes and the doppelganger will regain its full strength..
So, it was time to get it out..
「The character used [Outlaw of the Wild].」
「Melee physical damage temporarily increases in proportion to the number of humanoid monsters..」
It's an item that gave me confidence that I could punish the doppelgänger.…….
「current growth rate 112%.」
「current growth rate 157%.」
「current growth rate 278%.」
「current growth rate 342%.」
「current growth rate 4…….」
That allowed me to predict a whopping 90% chance of winning..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
Items are also a skill.
