Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 190
190Hwa Temper (5)
No. 8667 Outlaw of the wilderness.
This is the number item worn by the dwarf team's beast swordsman. As it is a low-ranking number, it does not have any stats, and its price is relatively cheap..
This is because the effect of use is a bit ambiguous..
Melee physical damage increases against humanoid 'monsters', and the increase rate increases according to the number.?
Demand among explorers is bound to be low..
There are only a few humanoid monsters in the labyrinth, and even they don't flock around in groups like this..
‘Plus, the cooldown lasts only a day..’
In fact, it is difficult to use properly unless you are trying to attack the doppelganger or the guy on the 5th floor..
Thanks to getting this item, my odds of winning have jumped significantly..
If it weren't for this, it would have been about half and half.?
「Seal release rate 70%」
At that time, the magic circle radiated light once more, indicating that it was not long until the seal was lifted..
10It increases by 5% per creature, which means that according to the calculation, there are already over 60 clones summoned..
「current growth rate 401%.」
But, there is still a long way to go.
Therefore, we formed a tight formation against the wall as planned..
and…….
“Barhatun Wiar.”
A stone wall was summoned using Raven's magic..
The decision to hold on until that moment comes.
However, that doesn't mean the wall was built to block everything, and there was a gap left on one side where two or three people could pass through..
It was Raven's idea..
If it's completely blocked, they'll try to break it, but if there's a way, they'll try to go that way.?
‘It really works.’
I held on, blocking the only road..
If I hit it with a mace in its current state, my clone or whatever would be knocked over in one or two blows.…….
I tried hard to suppress my desire.
Because our purpose is not to hunt for corpses..
Kwaang-!
The alter egos are rushing toward me, pushing each other as if in protest..
Of course, not everyone was like that..
“There's a hole over there!!”
The alter ego that breaks the stone wall and clears the way..
When I turned my head to check for a moment, it turned out to be an alter ego that took after my appearance..
“Mr. Yandel, focus on that! We'll take care of it here.!”
Cheolwoong, summoned by the melee line and Mr. Bear, hurriedly formed a human barrier to block the clones, but it was not an easy task..
Because we had a huge penalty..
“oh! You can't kill me!”
Block without attacking.
This condition is bound to be difficult to fulfill unless you are a professional tanker. The sound of a difficult battle could be heard from behind..
But there was nothing I could do.
If you go there just to help, things will only go wrong..
Hehehehe-!
When about two minutes passed, the cave shook again..
「Seal release rate 90%」
It means that the time has finally arrived to see the match..
“Mr. Yandel!”
Since the ceiling was not high, I jumped in place with very little force..
In technical terms, 'low point'’.
「The total weight of the character is more than 500kg.」
「Special terrain effect [recoil] is applied additionally to the damage range.」
The clones, including my colleagues, all rose into the air at once. Therefore, as soon as he landed, he rushed quickly, stepping on the clones..
「Temporarily increases the threat level significantly..」
Thanks to the increased threat level, the clones quickly stood up and rushed at me like zombies, and soon a tremendous sense of resistance was felt beyond the shield..
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
About 10 seconds have passed since then.?
I pushed forward like a bulldozer and eventually reached my destination..
Pow! Powwow!
The body is in the process of [self-replication], continuously exploding..
Without even looking further, I swung my mace..
Powok!
It tastes like you hit tofu..
However, it was sufficient to determine that damage was caused..
“Wow!!!”
The body that transformed into me after completing infinite [self-replication].
As it was in berserk mode, it looked a little different from before..
There are two heads sprouting from the shoulders..
‘I, Einar…….’
Damn it, honey?
A doppelganger who uses not only my skills but also Einar's essence..
「The nameless usurper casted [Swing].」
「The nameless usurper casted [Repeated Slash].」
The amount of impact itself is different.
If it weren't for the sign of the Guardian Corps, I would have definitely fallen behind..
Even the clones summoned from all directions are strangling and attacking me..
but…….
Whoa whoa-!
I completely ignored it and swung the mace..
The two barbarians hanging on the main body's neck smiled wryly..
A smile with the meaning of “Will that happen?”.
I just looked at him and smiled.
「current growth rate 771%.」
Because you're not the only one who got a buff..
It's called extreme damage barbarian mode..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!
When I cast [Swing] with all my might, the doppelganger's body, which was blocked with a shield as usual, stumbles..
The gap revealed as a result.
Without giving him time, he swung the mace again..
Kwasik-!
Einar's head was crushed with just one blow..
Since it had two heads, even this didn't knock him down..
There was no problem.
One more hit and that was enough..
Kwasik-!
The doppelganger, who lost both heads, immediately returned to his slimy form again..
And then it hardened.
「Doppelganger casted [Crystallization].」
It is the final struggle made when the time comes to die..
Well, it's a fairly difficult pattern to call it a struggle..
「Magic damage is reduced by 99%.」
「Physical damage is reduced by 90%.」
Virtually immune to magic damage.
A trick skill that takes 90% of physical damage.
But if you don't destroy it in time, you have to repeat this from the beginning..
It's funny, but that's the original strategy..
Mass Summoning, Transformation, Crystallization.
The way to clear it is to repeat this sequence, accumulating damage to the ‘crystal’ and destroying it..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
But we have to risk everything at once..
That's why I didn't even catch the body and left it alone..
“Raven!!”
When I shouted, Raven and Parthean immediately used their magic..
It wasn't an attack spell.
The ‘Mana Shield’ that was used earlier when playing PK with the Dwarf team.’.
Raven shouted urgently..
“I can't last much longer!”
I know even if you don't say it.
How many clones are around me right now?.
As it is already a high-cost magic, the two wizards will run out of magical power before even a minute has passed..
so that…….
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Trusting in the magic power that lies thickly on your skin, you focus only on destroying the crystalline doppelganger..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
‘It was a tactic that would never have been used without ‘Outlaws of the Wilderness’..
They probably organized the clones in advance and then dealt with them all together..
Worried that the deals might not be enough.
Kazizik!
In the fourth [swing], my decision was flawed for the first time..
It was amazing again.
It's a [crystallization] pattern I've experienced several times, but I can't believe it's already like this..
How much of a deal are there now??
I can't tell from the numbers, but it's truly amazing..
There are still things left that I haven't written yet..
「The character casted [Leap].」
Once again, 'low point'’.
「Temporarily increases the threat level significantly..」
and…….
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
Immediately [wild eruption]].
「The character's threat value temporarily increases by 3 times, and the physical value increases proportionally to the character's threat value..」
A powerful force radiates from the whole body..
Of course, this mulberry flavor lasts only for a short time..
However, I judged.
That's enough.
「The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength..」
The miracle law of exchange where threat value changes into strength, and strength changes into the destructive power of blunt weapons..
「current growth rate 771%.」
But ‘Outlaws of the Wilderness’ is added to this as well.?
90%’s physical immunity and all, it’s at a level where you don’t have to worry about it..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!
Because now my damage is copied.
***
「Defeated the doppelganger EXP +6
「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」
***
How many times did I have to hit the decision with a mace like a man possessed by a ghost?.
I'm not sure, but it was around that time when 'Mana Shield' ended and injuries started accumulating on my body quickly..
Kwazisig-!
The crystal, which had cracks like a broken mirror, eventually shattered like a grenade exploding..
It's a bit hard to say it was close..
‘1About a minute…….’
It broke much faster than expected.
In my mind, I even had in mind the picture of putting everything aside, gathering everything, and sticking a dill in it..
There was no need to use plan B as variables came up at the last minute..
‘Yes, there have to be days like this too..’
On the one hand, I am happy, but on the other hand, I feel somewhat bitter..
Isn’t there anyone who would say that they are lucky because an unexpected incident didn’t happen?.
‘No, it's still too early to feel safe..’
Enough with my idle thoughts, I came to my senses..
Right after the boss battle started, didn't four HansGs appear against ridiculous odds?.
‘There is also a possibility that it is a variant crack like ‘Blood Citadel’.—
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
At that time, the fragments of the shattered body turned into a halo of light and scattered in the air. And this also applies to the corpses that filled the cave..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Additionally, a portal connected to the 4th floor was opened in the center..
It means that the crack has really been cleared..
“Ugh! What! Did you kill it??!”
“Ugh, I thought I was going to die. Aruru, can you give me some potion??”
“That's later. It's not a major injury, right? Let’s check that first! essence? Number item? Crack stone? What came out—”
Oh yeah, I should check that too..
I couldn't even see it clearly because I was wary of my surroundings in case something else happened..
Now, it's time to take care of the guardian's reward, which is like the flower of the crack..
I swallowed my saliva and moved my gaze to where the doppelganger was..
“…….”
“…….”
nothing existed there.
‘No way, this is the Hans effect?’
A thought like that suddenly occurred to me, but it's not good to make excuses for anything. The drop rate for essence or number items is only 33%..
Well, it hurts a little that 66% of the crack stone wasn't found.…….
‘……It's common..’
It was like this often in the original game too..
I tried my best to break the crack, but I got no reward..
“……Mr. Yandel, come to your senses. It could be so..”
“Yeah, yeah! Haven't I already gotten a lot of this and that?.”
As I remained still, my colleagues must have noticed and offered words of comfort..
Tsk, I'm not angry or anything..
‘……In the end, is the reward obtained through PK all there is??’
It was a little vain, but when you think about it, it was funny to feel regret..
I can't even imagine how much it would cost if I sold all the equipment..
Reaching the highest income of all time is already a given, and hasn't he consumed the essence of the Manticore?.
‘……Yes, this alone is practically the equivalent of a doppelganger essence..’
Hmm, but is this the effect of positive thinking??
I feel like I suddenly have strength.
“Misha, are you okay with your injury??”
“uh? Yes. It was just a passing glance. Degree of grazing!”
“First, eat the potion..”
I put my regrets aside, took care of my comrades, and began to clean up after the battle..
Raven laughed as she looked at me like that..
“If you look at things like this, he definitely looks like a leader..”
“Are you kidding me??”
“No, I meant it this time.?”
“…….”
“Aruru, don’t be like that. Then Bjorn would be embarrassed..”
what.
“Then I guess I'll have to go up again now..”
After the brief settlement was over, I led the group back to the forest. All the doppelgängers above have already disappeared..
“You're safe! I'm so glad!!”
“Sorry for keeping you waiting. Miss Sarman.”
Picked up the Indian woman left at the altar and handed it over to the blunt warrior..
For reference, the archer of the dwarven team that was offered to the altar was already dead..
“But what happened to this man?……?”
“Uh, that… I'm worried that I'll wake up…….”
Looks like they killed the guy who was unconscious before he woke up..
It was a little impressive.
After all, this guy is also an explorer..
I checked the archer's equipment and backpack just in case, but it didn't seem like the Indian woman had secretly taken anything with her..
Then this is the end of the business between us..
“Oh, you should get this. Well written.”
“you get that.”
“really?”
Parthean gave Raven the 'broken trust' he had lent to him as a gift. Even though it took all the time, it was not a worthless gift..
Because there is no way to recharge the count..
Even if you just sell it, it will cost hundreds of thousands of stones..
“Thank you for saving us. If you need my strength, please come find me anytime..”
On the other hand, I was wondering if Gongchisa's words were everything..
Parthean gave me a visitor's card with the emblem of the Narman School on it..
Hmm, I guess that wasn't really an empty remark..
Keep it with you and get it right away when you need it..
‘As I'm doing this, I feel like I've completed some kind of subquest..’
After briefly saying hello to the blunt warrior and the Indian woman, he saw them off in front of the portal..
“But you guys aren’t going out??”
“This is a long-awaited crack, right? I'm going to look around a little more and do some research..”
“Hmm, I see.?”
Parthean nodded meaningfully, as if he understood something, and Raven also smiled awkwardly..
“Then I'll go.”
Soon they took the portal and returned to where they came from..
“Those people... … I'm sure you'll be okay.?”
“What are you worrying about that's not like you??”
“Wizards usually worry about and take care of each other.?”
“That's not what I meant, it just meant that I was worried for no reason. It's not anywhere else, it's on the 4th floor, isn't it?.”
Although Hans G and the Fairy Archer are dead, the Tower in the Sky is a tier that can be preserved if desired..
Maybe those three will go back to the city to kill time like we used to..
“but… … That's it too.”
We left the portal behind and came up into the forest again..
There's still something left to take care of..
