Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 244
244Tue Junction (4)
Hans Ifreia.
To be exact, the man who participated in the title award ceremony by borrowing his name and face washed his face with cold water..
Wow!
Every time the water touched it, the pieces of meat that were stuck to the skin were washed away and flowed down the drain..
Just looking at it makes me nauseous..
‘…It's been a while since I've been this upset.’
I experienced many worse things in the early days when I fell into this familiar yet unfamiliar world, rolling and rolling, but those days are already a long time ago..
‘…There's no need to approach, I just have to watch from afar..’
Afterwards, the man returned to the banquet hall and checked the table where he had spoken with the barbarian earlier..
For some reason it was empty.
I approached the employee and exchanged a few words, but it seemed that he had already left in a carriage..
‘…I really don't want to go back to the magic tower like this..’
The man thought for a moment and then left the palace..
Then, he deployed both invisibility magic and floating magic at the same time and flew over the city..
Stealth flight mode.
‘There it is.’
Looking down from dozens of meters in the air, he soon spotted Bjorn Yandel's carriage..
Seeing that there were escort knights on horseback around, there was no way I could have mistaken it for a carriage..
‘Looks like he's going home.’
The man inferred the destination from the direction of the carriage and soon followed it..
Well, my expectations that that barbarian was the person I was looking for have diminished a lot.…….
‘Maybe it's smoke.’
It's still not out of the question.
It was the first time I had ever seen a barbarian act so brainlessly..
Rather, there are parts that make it more suspicious..
‘…With his understanding of the game, he would have quickly figured out how to act in this world and moved more ‘perfectly’ than anyone else..’
It can be interpreted either way, positive or negative..
Therefore, more information is needed.
Who is Bjorn Yandel?.
‘Was he living with three women?…….’
For some reason, the man ignored the feeling of envy and chased after the carriage..
If you're living together, it's probably not normal..
If you take a look at his daily life at home, you will be able to find more definite clues..
It was a car that was followed at a distance with that thought in mind..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
the carriage exploded.
***
An explosion that reminds me of the pillar of fire that day..
However, its power was nothing compared to that of that time..
Fortunately,.
「The character's health is below 50%..」
「Passive skill [Hero's Path] increases all resistance and resistance values..」
My vision is blurry, possibly due to heat damage to my retina..
Additionally, the reddened skin peels off and the whole body feels itchy and throbbing..
It seems like my muscles are also very damaged..
but…….
“assassin! the assassin has arrived!!”
It didn't happen in one shot..
And, the body moves too..
‘Damn it.’
I endured the rising anger and quickly put my hands on the ground and raised myself up. And I activated the subspace ring I received back when I left the house..
‘Huh, I should put on my gear as soon as I come out of the palace..’
No matter how fast you regret, it's too late.
First, I took out the shield and put it on my forearm..
Then something exploded and black smoke spewed out..
‘Is it like a smoke bomb??’
Since my vision was blocked several times, I quickly focused on my hearing without panicking..
“Wow!!”
As the incident occurred in the middle of the city, civilians' screams were heard everywhere..
“grim!”
“Kill the evil weightlifters!”
The knights responded and the sound of weapons was heard..
But that's not what I need to worry about..
Among all the noise, I have to distinguish what threatens my life..
for example…….
Tadat.
Yeah, something like this.
As soon as I heard the sound, I turned my body in that direction and lowered my posture..
That moment.
Kwaang!
Shock is transmitted beyond the shield.
Huh, you can see my location even through the smoke..
There is no reason to stay quiet.
“Keplo! Is he alive?!!”
I shouted with all my might and checked the safety of the person who was right next to me right before the explosion..
There was no answer.
Is he dead? Or just pass out?
Sigh.
First, I quickly put my hand into subspace and took out the mace..
At that time, I heard the sound of the blast gun again..
Huh!
In my experience, this sound usually comes from 'cutting'..
Trust the judgment made by your subconscious and twist the shield diagonally..
Cooung!
Soon there was a collision on the left side of the shield..
In this way, there is no problem even if you cannot see in front of you..
Huh-!
Swing the mace with all your might towards the place where you think the enemy is..
Kwasik-!
It tasted like my hand..
Well, you get this.
I thought he would be agile because he is an assassin..
“Wow!”
Something in the smoke lets out a death-like scream and flies away and gets stuck..
It was then.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
As anyone could see, an artificial gust of wind blew and pushed away black smoke..
‘Magic? Who is it?’
There were no wizards on our side..
However, there is no way the assassin will clear the smoke..
If so, who used the magic??
Putting aside the brief question, I check my surroundings..
“Yandel! Are you okay?!”
The number of knights standing still is only four..
On the other hand, the number of masked people surrounding the shattered remains of the carriage is over 30..
‘Amelia... Is it not there??’
I scanned the masked people to see if there was anyone with a similar body type to Amelia..
There were about three candidates, but it wasn't clear..
“There was no mention of a wizard, right?!”
“Why are you hesitating! Hurry up and kill me!”
Before they were taken aback by the magic that dispelled the smoke, the assassins resumed their attack..
They also know it.
Since this was a surprise attack in the middle of the main street, if we don't finish it quickly, we'll be in trouble..
“Protect Yandel!!”
When my location was confirmed, the knights who were fighting each other hurriedly approached me and formed a guard formation..
I think I understand why nobles are so obsessed with training knights..
How loyal and trustworthy these people are..
‘I guess I won't have time to wear armor..’
After understanding the surrounding situation, I completely erased my regrets and unleashed my supernatural ability. Originally, I thought I would try it out tomorrow when I go to the training ground..
‘transcendence.’
Bayon's ability [Transcendence]].
It is a unique skill that is both passive and active..
When deactivated, the performance of all passive skills is enhanced by 1.5 times..
[[Acidic body fluid] becomes more powerful.
[[Hero's Path] and [Ironskin] increase the numerical value increase, and Manticore's [Inheritance] is also applied similarly..
This alone is a good enough skill..
but…….
「The character casted [Transcendence].」
The true value of this skill lies when it is used actively..
「The next skill you use will be strengthened.」
It is not a simple reinforcement, but a unique additional effect for each skill that is temporarily added..
「The character casted [Giant].」
「The abilities inherent in the skill are unlocked by the power of the transcendental body..」
The reason why Shield Baba's core is level 5 [Giantization] is also in this skill..
「Your physique increases in proportion to your strength..」
Physique bonus applied in proportion to strength rather than a fixed value.
‘5I guess it's about m.’
Also called gigantic (transcendence) mode.
‘This is enough... It would be somewhat similar to the Liakis match back then..’
Estimate the new size based on a different eye level than usual..
It is similar to the time when Misha's older brother had the [Unholy One] and it was 1.5 times bigger..
There is the essence of the ogre, but the setting is not complete yet, so it is not satisfactory..
but…….
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
You can't deny that you've become much stronger.
[Giantization], where physical and threat values increase in proportion to height.].
And the body value increases again according to the threat value [Wild Eruption]].
Both are applied simultaneously and the power boils over..
thus…….
‘jump.’
I kick off the ground with all my might and fly up..
The expected drop point is in the direction of the masked person who is aiming in this direction with a bow in the distance..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The moment the ground touched the ground, the masked man rose high with his bow in hand..
「The total weight of the character is more than 500kg.」
「Special terrain effect [recoil] is applied additionally to the damage range.」
Fortunately, it seems that the height has increased and the weight has been met..
I was worried because I wasn't wearing armor..
“uh?”
The masked person spews out incoherent sounds in the air, not knowing what situation he is in..
Why, I guess I didn't know it would come from here first?
When I swung the mace like a baseball bat, the guy's neck bent at a strange angle..
Kwasik.
Okay, one thing for now…….
‘huh?’
As I was turning my head to look for the next target, a masked guy popped out from the bottom right..
An exquisite angle that would have been square originally.
However, I saw this clearly and avoided it..
It was thanks to the basic stats of the new essence..
[bayon]
Soul Power +100, Soul Regeneration +30, Strength +25, Pain Resistance + 30, Bone Strength +30, Anti-Magic Power +20, Vision +25
eyesight +25.
This stat expands your viewing angle, not your eyesight..
So, in the game, there were bonuses to detailed statistics such as evasion rate..
Kwasik!
After kicking the guy in the stomach as he bounced around, I took a leaping stance again..
But did I finally come to my senses??
The knights were startled and screamed at my unexpected behavior as they were the guards..
“Hey, come here.!”
Well, who will protect whom?.
I ignored it, pretending not to hear it, and leapt toward my next destination. And we took them down one by one with the same combo as before..
There has never been such a strong enemy..
Kwasik-!
I felt it earlier when I was harassing a guy in the smoke, but the level is strangely low..
‘Is there really no Amelia level??’
I even thought about using [Leap] to jump away if there was even the slightest danger, but even that anxiety soon disappeared..
I will know better after dealing with it in person..
If it weren't for the explosion at the beginning, it would have been enough to take down the knights alone..
But what is this again?.
“…You said you only had to deal with knights.!”
As I began to rampage and the knights began to fight individually and put pressure on them, internal divisions began among the masked people..
“At first, they said that one explosion would kill me.!”
“I'm going back now. There was no word that this guy fought this well, right?!”
When one or two people left the battlefield for fear, all the masked people decided to run away..
It was absurd..
‘What are these people??’
There seemed to be no sense of purpose at all..
***
‘…Was it really sent from Noark??’
Even such suspicions began to bloom, but for now, he worked hard and captured the bouncing masked cubs alive..
The total number captured was four..
Unfortunately, all the others ran away..
“…Thank you for your hard work.”
The knight who is being escorted awkwardly comes to me and salutes me, probably because it is his first time being carried by a nobleman..
“Oh, you guys worked hard too. Is there anyone dead??”
In response to my question, the driver answered that three people were killed..
Fortunately, Keplo wasn't caught in it..
Even though he was caught in the explosion in the very center with me, he still seems to have that much durability..
I gave him the potion at the right time, so he will come to his senses in a little while..
‘Then let’s interrogate him..’
The battle was over, and the guards were slowly coming running. I grabbed one of the captured guys and took off his mask..
Hidden beyond was a man I had never seen before..
“…Wow!”
A man who is trembling and unable to make eye contact as if he senses that he is screwed..
I reached out my hand and stuffed it into the guy's mouth..
“Huh, huh, huh!”
I searched hard, but there was nothing like dogmatism..
Well, is there a difference between comics and reality??
No, of course an assassin should have one in his mouth.?
‘Oh, if they had that much will, they wouldn't have run away in the first place..’
Really, what are these guys doing?.
I asked, wiping the spit that got on my hands on his clothes while stuffing it in his mouth..
“who sent you?”
“…….”
He didn't answer..
It wasn't a very meaningful action..
If you beat me up a bit, my mouth will open on its own..
That time when I raised my fist while thinking like that..
flash-!
A white flash exploded from the dark sky..
and…….
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!
Something flew like a meteorite and hit the ground..
At first, I thought the assassins had run away and fired a catapult.…….
“Wow…!”
it was one man.
It was surrounded by a spherical protective shield, and its face was all too familiar..
That's the bastard I met just before..
“Hans Ifreia……?”
No, what is it?.
Why did he fall from the sky again?.
I was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected development..
Ta-dat, ta-dat, ta-dat.
Another man came down from the sky where Hans I had fallen. And he approached Hans I without even paying attention to me..
“…….”
Neither I nor any of the knights dared utter a single word at that strange sight..
The air changed the moment that man arrived and did not allow this..
“Oh my gosh, just take it easy. yes?”
“I told you, you got the wrong person.—.”
“Ha, even if you yell at me, it’s not for me.?”
Soon the man stretched out his hand, and the protective shield around Hans I was torn apart helplessly..
Jijijijik.
Hans I, whose face turned white from the overwhelming sense of intimidation..
The man bluntly grabbed him by the collar..
and said.
“Of course it's you. GM.”
“…….”
“Quickly untie the van. Otherwise, you'll really be lost here..”
