Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 274
274Fire Defense (4)
After I came to my senses, I started with the apple..
“Wizard, I was sorry earlier..”
Hans J, who had almost been strangled by a teammate during the battle, looked disapproving, but accepted the apology..
I know it too.
I know that if there is a conflict in this group, my life is in danger..
“……I apologize and will not comment further on this matter in the future..”
When the wizard accepted the apology, Partran also stepped in and helped sort out the situation..
“Bjorn Jandel, I won't blame you. It's not like I can't understand that feeling. To be honest, Lord Aulok made a mistake with his words earlier..”
“By the way, are you saying I made a mistake? I just said what I had to say.”
“……However, the way I spoke was not good.”
Partsran surprisingly spoke on my behalf..
Well, I'm probably going to get dumped by someone who is actively looking for a colleague anyway, so let's stop now.?
What barbarian wouldn't get angry after hearing that?.
“Okay, this story ends here..”
“Yeah, I think that would be better..”
I suddenly got irritated again, so I gritted my teeth without realizing it, and the conversation ended..
Even considering the cancer, it was a good thing..
I didn't know if the situation before would repeat itself if we talked more..
“So what should we do now??”
At some point, Fachran's speaking style, which used Hao font, returned to the same way as before, but I didn't criticize him because I had done something wrong earlier..
“As I said before, first of all, rest until the barrier is over..”
“After that?”
“Find a better spot and hang in there. As Raven said.”
“Right. i get it.”
Once the rough plan for the future was decided, everyone put their tired bodies on the floor and replenished their stamina..
How much longer has it passed like that?.
“God's care will soon end.”
“Right. Good job. Everyone wake up.”
As time passed and [Declaration of Destruction] was lifted, we searched the nearby area as planned and found a suitable spot for defense..
It is a flat area with a cliff at the back, so you only have to block the remaining three sides..
“Behel—laaaaa!”
We stopped the monsters there..
Contrary to my worries, there was no serious danger yet. Since the event started at the highest difficulty level, we took even more difficult situations into consideration.…….
“Bertia Sevnu Hellhavens!”
The wizard's performance was great..
Well, more accurately, it should be said that it was Hans J’s performance.?
Originally, magicians showed great power in quantity warfare. And Raven also did her part as a wizard well..
however…….
「Hans Aulog casted the level 4 attack spell [Chain Lightning].」
It was nothing compared to Hans J's performance..
Chichijijijik. puff-!
Each time a spell is cast, monsters with a level 5 name die or become unconscious..
And at least fifteen of them..
‘……You can finish the chain lightning chant in 15 seconds? What on earth is this??’
I was skeptical for a moment about the explosion of high-ranking magic, but when I asked Pachran, who was fighting next to me, I heard an amazing story..
“Oh, didn't you know? Oulok is a level 4 wizard of the Benocton School..”
The Benocturne School focuses on the study of elemental magic..
He is a level 4 wizard who is in a decent position there too..
‘For some reason, the equipment looked expensive..’
When I found out that he was a more skilled wizard than I expected, I was worried that something troublesome might happen later, but I decided to think about that later..
Okay, what should I do if I get upset?.
I am also a nobleman.
It means that no matter where you go, you will not bow down because of your status..
“Ersina, strike the barrier..”
“yes.”
Anyway, Hans J's performance was also great, but in fact, if I had to pick the person who contributed the most in this defense event, it was the priest..
「Railin Ersina casted [Declaration of Destruction].」
Without this, I wouldn't have had time to rest.
“Whoa, uncle. come here. I put a sleeping bag here..”
“thanks.”
Even though we were blocking monsters, if we started to feel a bit overwhelmed, we immediately set up a barrier and replenished our stamina and used MP..
And after some reorganization, the barrier is lifted and the hunt resumes..
This was repeated for about 4 more hours..
「The second fury of the sea has begun.」
The second wave has begun.
***
fighting, fighting.
Raindrops fall from the sky and soon turn into strong streams of water..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The rain falls as coolly as the rainy season.
“……rain?”
My colleagues were taken aback by the weather change, something they had only experienced in the city and never experienced in the labyrinth. Of course, the Parts team that had been active on the 6th floor for a long time was different..
“Why does it rain at a time like this?…….”
I wasn't fazed by the rain itself..
but…….
“It's going to be difficult.”
Click your tongue and wrinkle your expression.
everyone knows.
How tricky it is for it to rain in the labyrinth.
Visibility is narrowed just by the rain itself..
Meanwhile, rainwater runs down your eyelids, making it difficult to concentrate..
Additionally, if you are exposed to rain for a long time on a cold day, you may develop hypothermia.…….
It's easy to lose your weapon with wet hands..
There is nothing that can be considered good news..
“This is annoying…….”
Everyone sighed and said that this strange coincidence was truly unlucky, but I was different..
The reason is simple.
Because I know it has nothing to do with luck..
‘30I'll be there in a minute.’
The fact that it started raining is evidence that the second wave has begun..
The mid-boss will also appear soon..
Because it's his characteristic to target the group with the most people first..
“Everyone, don't go out too much and stick together and fight.!”
After giving instructions, I adapted to the changed environment by fighting monsters until the mid-boss arrived..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
This is actually my first time experiencing rain in a labyrinth..
‘It's much more annoying than I expected.’
The floor is slippery, and in some places, mud has gathered and the ground is swollen. While that alone is distracting in many ways, the water attribute monsters caught in the rain are swinging their claws vigorously like fish caught in the water..
Wow-!
In case I missed the mace, I swung it with several times more force than usual..
Time passed like that, and I was starting to get used to fighting in the rain..
“Hey, Mr. Yandel! there! there!”
A huge lizard appeared from the front..
[Gooooooooooooo-!!]
Guano Sea Serpent.
4A level 4 monster that walks on foot, has brown moss-covered scales, and a plump tail..
The biggest characteristic is [bad smell]..
「The character has been exposed to [stink].」
「All continuous damage effects are doubled, and you are immune to ‘purification’ while exposed to [Stink].」
The passive skill that became the core essence when training as a witch doctor..
“Ugh! Wow……!”
Just like the monster we usually call a poop lizard, the moment it arrived, everyone let out a sigh of disgust..
‘what smell…….’
The [stench] is strong enough to make even a squeamish barbarian faint.].
I held my breath and focused..
First of all, it is a level 4 monster like the Siren Queen, but the situation is completely different from then..
‘……Just be careful not to make any mistakes along the way..’
Monsters filling the surroundings.
Unlike the queen, who needs summoned mobs to demonstrate her power, this one is strong on its own..
In the meantime, we will have to distribute personnel as well..
I quickly split the group in two..
“Parts are, Einar, don't worry about this and stay where you are.!”
First of all, the two who are close and vanguard are in charge of dealing with miscellaneous mobs on the left and right..
Just in case, Hans J and Mr. Bear also gave instructions to focus on dealing with random mobs rather than boss battles..
And the rest…….
“Everyone come behind me!”
It's some kind of strategy..
The goal is to kill the mob while it holds out..
[Gooooooooooo-!!]
Soon, the guy who was watching from afar rushed towards me with his horned forehead, and the battle began with me catching his head with my shield..
The battle itself was okay..
「Guano Sea Serpent cast [Plague of the Sea].」
The summoning pattern of the self-destructive spirit is cut by Erwen and Raven's interception..
Powwow-!
Well, I suffered from a status ailment due to the blood scattered when the spirit exploded.…….
「The character is infected with [Scurvy].」
「All healing effects are reduced by half and you continuously take poison damage..」
This is all you need to endure with the priest's heels..
「Guano Sea Serpent cast [Origin of the Deep Sea].」
「Guano Sea Serpent cast [Sink].」
「Guano Seed Serpent prays for rain…….」
「…….」
The rest of this guy's patterns were not much different..
Some with magic, some with divine power.
Something else…….
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
With the ignorant body of a barbarian.
The battle continued by holding on to the patterns..
Of course, there were no major incidents or accidents, but the process was not easy..
“Hey, Mr. Yandel! You should avoid that.!”
The Guano Sea Serpent is a monster famous for its large blood barrel. Of course, the battle was bound to be long, and there were several dizzying situations..
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia has taken more than the allowable amount of damage.」
「[Spiritualization] is canceled.」
At the end, Erwen received damage and became unable to fight, and the priest's sacred power, which had to use half healing throughout the battle, was completely depleted..
Of course, it's nothing to worry about now..
Because I succeeded in catching it..
「Defeated the Guano Sea Serpent EXP +6.」
At the end, even Hans J came to the attack team and scattered lightning magic. At the end, its heavy body tilted and fell, and soon became light and scattered..
and…….
“Well, I did it... … . huh?”
Everyone tilted their heads in unison..
“Uh, huh?! Hey, Mr. Yandel.!”
“It's Jeongsu!!”
Essence was dropped.
***
4Level monsters are rare even on the 6th floor..
First, you have to go far away on a boat to appear, and even then, there are so few of them that it is impossible to hunt dozens of them a day like level 5 monsters..
Simply put, it means that it is difficult to supply purified water..
“4It's been a long time since I last saw the rank essence..”
6Partsran, who fell and fell on the floor, began to see strange things in his eyes..
Well, it's not even pure water that I can drink, but that's it..
‘Huh, even if it comes out, this is it…….’
I briefly clicked my tongue and erased my regret..
Although there is no one on our team who can use this essence, it is not a bad essence based on value alone..
If you go out and sell it, you'll make a lot of money..
“Raven, put the essence in a test tube..”
“Ah yes!”
At my command, Raven moved quickly and took out a test tube from subspace..
And the car that was moving to collect the purified water.
“Wait a minute, first thing I should do is ask if anyone wants to eat.?”
Partsran stepped forward and stopped Raven..
It was an unexpected situation for me..
Because there are only priests and wizards over there. Even if you bid, that's the only part you can get.…….
“I'm asking just in case, but it doesn't mean you think we don't have a stake.?”
Ah, this is what I wanted to say..
Yeah, there's no way the prosecutor would want to drink this essence..
“Don't worry. I plan to sell the purified water and divide it according to the number of people..”
“Hmm, well then.”
I soon told him what he wanted to say, and he backed away without saying anything..
This is the end of the distribution problem.
“Well, I'll put it in then.?”
Raven went through the final confirmation by asking one more time while holding the test tube, and everyone nodded..
It was that moment.
“By the way, the rain has stopped?”
“The situation is unfortunate. Maybe the rain had something to do with the guano seed serpent..”
As I inadvertently raised my head and looked at the sky during the conversation between Partsran and Hans J, I froze..
The Guano Seed Serpent was killed and the rain stopped..
There was no problem up to this point.…….
“for a moment… What is that? I feel like I'm getting closer…….”
Between the dark clouds that had begun to clear, a black flying object was falling vertically and spewing out flames..
“Hey, it's Drake.!!”
Nimiral.
I shouted, cursing under my breath..
“ready for battle!!”
Seungnyang has arrived.
