Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 278
278angry whirlpool (4)
Farune Island's Hidden Piece 'Wrath of the Sea'’.
The difficulty of this event, which occurs when an offering is destroyed when there are less than 20 people on the island, is determined by the number of people..
5~9Phosphorus increases the population of normal monsters.
10~14In mode, a fourth wave is added and the final boss appears, and when there are 15 to 19 players, some of the penalties that the final boss had disappears.…….
‘I never thought I would do a level 3 raid without being properly prepared like this..’
The more I think about it, the more I sigh..
What I was aiming for was the boss of the third wave..
If you start the event with 6 people, the fourth wave won't even start..
I wanted to catch a large number of miscellaneous mobs to obtain magic stones and essence for sale, and if possible, even level 4 essence to feed to Misha or Erwen..
But nothing went as planned.
‘……Why is my baby always like this??’
As if the event started on the highest difficulty level, the number of people decreased and the final wave was held with 10 people..
Even the target Elfrott Essence did not come out..
Of course, if the final boss spits out essence, it's a trivial matter that can be laughed off.…….
‘It's probably hard to catch.’
This is a situation where survival should be pursued rather than loot..
That's what grade 3 monsters are in this game..
Even if you are an explorer who has reached the 6th floor, it is a monster that is nearly impossible to successfully hunt with 10 people who have never matched together..
‘But what can I do, I'll give it a try.’
raise yourself up.
“The power will soon be gone.”
The priestess spoke to me as if she had been waiting for me..
“exactly how much is left?”
“10Who are you?.”
Okay, 10 minutes.…….
I nodded and looked around..
I saw Patsran and Amelia talking from afar..
“3A level monster, is that certain??”
“The truth doesn't change just because you don't believe it.”
“You're talking as if you saw it with your own eyes? I guess [Crisis Detection] isn't that accurate of a skill? I heard that because information is conveyed in the form of sensations, it is often exaggerated or minimized.—”
It was a meaningless suspicion and conversation..
I took my attention away from their conversation and approached one person..
“Bjorn…….”
Misha Karlstein.
A colleague who was with me in the labyrinth for the longest time.…….
‘I can't say we're lovers..’
I smiled bitterly and opened my mouth..
“Are you feeling okay??”
“I guess that's what I should say……?”
“I am OK. I feel a little groggy, but that's probably because I slept for so long..”
Afterwards I talked to Misha for a while..
It wasn't like I was sharing secret plans that I couldn't tell others about..
Well, I haven't had a proper conversation with him yet..
After we reunited, I spent the day passed out, and when I woke up, I had no time to do so because the last wave had begun..
“I was very worried.”
“that… I'm sorry. That girl seems like you know her and I can't leave her behind.—”
“In that case, I'm just saying that I won't make you worry next time..”
“huh. I won't.”
Okay, then this problem is over..
What should I say now??
“Anyway, I'm glad everyone is okay. Actually, I was very worried. I feel strange for some reason…….”
“It's a strange feeling?”
“……It's nothing to worry about. When I think about it now, I think I was just anxious because I was left alone without you guys..”
Well, that's how people are..
Usually, when you imagine something negative, it is pictured more clearly in your mind..
“……But it’s okay for us to be like this?”
What's not to do?.
There is a priest who just sits there and prays..
Even Uncle Bear is writing a letter..
Is it because I almost died once and survived??
3As soon as I heard that a grade monster had appeared, it seems like the things I couldn't say to my wife came to mind.…….
“Urakburak! What kind of useless thing are you doing? Wouldn’t it be okay to go out and say the child’s name in person?!”
“Okay, just say something. What name would you like if you were a girl? First of all, you too… … Wow, isn't it a girl?.”
What, are you just making up a name for your child??
Well, it makes me anxious for no reason..
I want you to stop putting up flags and things like that.…….
“……So for some reason, it felt like that time..”
“Oh, you mean when you're trapped on the first floor??”
“huh. It was exactly like this back then..”
What is this atmosphere?.
Compared to then, he is now a nobleman..
Even Raven left a will to tell if she couldn't return to the city..
Oh, by the way, most of it was about property..
“By the way, Bjorn, you are the same this time too..”
“You mean not leaving a will??”
“huh.”
I burst out laughing.
In the first place, not only is there no one outside the labyrinth to whom I can convey my will, but even if I die, I don't want to die revealing my identity..
Because that will be a much better memory.
“But Misha, it would have been the same for you as well for not leaving a will.?”
“That's it though…….”
Soon Misha blurted out his words..
It seemed like he wanted to tell me something, so I cut him off firmly..
“No more dark talk. In the first place, didn't we all come back alive in the end? It will happen this time too.”
“……huh. I believe it because you said it..”
Afterwards we left the present and had a normal conversation..
How long has it been like that?.
“barbarian.”
Amelia called me..
“It's time.”
Peaceful times always pass by quickly..
“Hehe, what a level 3 monster. I'm excited!”
Einar was holding a greatsword that he had diligently polished with a whetstone for a long time..
“The real Mr. Einar... … . Is it time to get excited? He might all die?”
Raven criticized Einar like that..
“Come on, stop fighting. Everybody get this.”
Mr. Bear handed out letters covered in crooked writing to his colleagues..
“May the light shine on our path.”
The priestess also finished her long prayer and stood up..
“Missha.”
“huh.”
After sending Misha back to his seat, I stood at the front of the formation, clutching my mace and shield..
Soon the barrier that surrounded us crumbled..
「[[Declaration of Destruction] is lifted..」
It's time to throw the dice.
***
[Kiyehhhh-!]
[As soon as [Declaration of Destruction] was lifted, a group of monsters camped in front of the barrier began to rush in, and Raven memorized the starting word for the magic circle she had prepared in advance..
“Sheartum Ebehel!”
Military magic that ordinary wizards are not allowed to learn because its lethality is abnormally high compared to its grade..
「Arua Raven cast the level 4 attack magic [Collapse].」
As the drawn magic circle radiated light, a red target appeared on the vital area of the hundred or so monsters that were rushing towards us..
And about 2 seconds later.
Kwazisig-!
An explosion occurred from within and numerous monsters exploded. A group of monsters with an average level of 6 were completely wiped out with a single magic blow..
Of course, the results were not obtained without any cost..
“……I'm going to rest now.”
We can no longer expect support from Raven, who has used up most of her magical power in this one spell..
His role is to conserve mana as much as possible and replenish MP until the final boss arrives..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
So the remaining enemies are ours..
[Kiyehhhh-!]
A dense group of monsters has been destroyed, but monsters still appear everywhere..
Kwasik, Kwasik, Kwasik-!
I only activated [Giantization] and focused only on the role of a 'barrier' for my colleagues to comfortably deal damage..
It still has enough firepower against random mobs..
Whiiiiiiiit!
Puuk-!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A 3-way deal consisting of Erwen, Nevarche, and Mr. Bear..
「Einar Pnellin has killed an enemy..」
「[Predation] is activated and soul power is restored..」
Einar of the Berserker tree, who shows his true value when dealing with multiple weak enemies..
4Partsran, a level explorer, also did a good job, and Misha used his unique quick movement to kill enemies that passed me and headed toward the rear..
and…….
‘You fight really well.’
What impressed me the most was Amelia..
He refused the position I assigned him, saying he would take care of it himself. Should I say that he really had the talent to do that??
Suddenly-!
The number of monsters that disappear as light from the dagger strike of that woman, who moves among the monsters like a special unit, has already passed the count..
[If you count the number killed by the clone summoned through [Self-Replication], the number will increase by 1.5 times..
That made me a little worried..
“It would be better to save some energy.?”
MP is MP, but the part I'm most concerned about is mana..
Another resource consumed when using ‘Auror’, which is also the symbol of a knight. If you use this much, you may not be able to use it later when you defeat the boss..
but…….
“I know my condition best, so stop giving advice..”
“……If that's the case.”
What can you say when you say that?.
Besides, if he has thoughts, he can control them on his own..
You probably have a lot more practical experience than me..
‘I'll just do my job well.’
Hold a shield and focus only on blocking the monsters that come in. Her mace is occasionally wielded, but she does little more than push enemies away..
The judgment that MP should be saved for later..
[Unless you use [Swing], you have to hit ten more times to kill the mobs..
“The monsters are slowly decreasing..”
As the magic stones spit out by monsters piled up around the area, the number of monsters flocking there decreased..
“Maybe the priest's prayers worked.!”
Everyone, including Mr. Bear, looked pleased at this fact, but I remained indifferent..
Because that’s what I knew.
All the monsters I've been fighting so far are just the ones wandering around the island that I couldn't catch in the third wave..
There are no regular mobs in the fourth wave..
Well, if you have a conscience, it should be like this..
3A level monster appears as a boss, but if it is crowded with miscellaneous mobs, how can you catch it??
“Let's try harder!”
Anyway, the positive news boosted the group's morale a little..
and…….
“It seems like there are no more people around now..”
As time passed, the mob was finally sorted out..
We quickly collected only the magic stones, reorganized our formation, took a short rest, and waited..
About 10 more minutes have passed since then..
“You came.”
No one asked which direction.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at one place as Amelia murmured..
Cooung.
Beyond the bushes where the sound of heavy steps can be heard.
Cooung-!
The guy was showing himself by breaking a tree..
[Oh oh oh oh—!!]
The first level 3 monster we faced.
As soon as she saw him, Raven shouted and shared the information she knew..
“……Hey, it's storm gauche.!”
He was also called the Ogre of the Sea..
***
Storm gauche.
A grade 3 marine species monster nicknamed the Ogre of the Sea. If we were to classify it in more detail, it is closer to a crustacean..
That doesn't mean it looks like a lobster..
5The basic form is similar to that of a lizardman, except that the bloated body, reaching up to m, is covered with a thick and hard shell..
Cooung-!
A long tail that acts as a counterweight.
protruding snout.
From the fact that he walks on two legs, to the fact that he has crazy physical strength and uses weapons..
Cooung-!
Soon, when it fully revealed itself, everyone swallowed their saliva..
“That's a level 3 monster…….”
7A non-standard monster that must be hunted by dozens of clans that entered the floor..
I've fought against large monsters of this size many times, but the ominous presence it gave off was completely different from those monsters..
Yes, it is nothing compared to a hierarchical monarch, but.
I shouted in a hurry..
“ready for battle!!”
What is everyone doing??
I'm already within his range..
[Wow—!!]
The guy with the huge harpoon in his hand moved towards us with incredible agility due to his massive body..
Therefore, I immediately turned on the gigantic (transcendence) mode..
Yeah, if you're going to fight a guy like that, you have to match his size first..
「Your physique increases in proportion to your strength..」
The warrior's body began to swell in an instant..
The eyes of the guy who was running at me change slightly..
From simply looking at prey to looking at an enemy.
Well, the last time I measured my height like this, I think it was a little over 5m? You probably didn't know there was someone with the same level of perspective as you..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Soon, with [Wild Eruption], even his body values were boosted and he ran away. Judgment that if you are pushed by force in the first move exchange, you will definitely be looked down upon..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
As soon as I took a few steps, his trident struck my shield..
Even the word “heavy” is not enough..
‘As expected, I’m being pushed back even in this situation..’
Even though it was hit rather than caught, the body bounces back. It's an experience I've rarely had since obtaining the spirit imprint [Unity]..
There is no knockback correction bonus, but since [Giantization] was applied to the equipment, it has become much more convenient to use t units when talking about my weight..
“What are you all doing, don't attack me!”
As soon as I was thrown back, Einar swung his adamantium sword..
「Einar Pnellin casted [Wild Control].」
「All conditional activation effects of the next attack are converted to cutting power..」
One of the various 'transformation' skills that convert the effectiveness of bonuses when hitting into cutting power. In addition, the weight of the great sword and the force of the strike were added..
but…….
Kakak-!
Einar's great sword only penetrated about 1cm and barely scratched the shell..
Rather than seeing Einar's lack of ability, it is more correct to think of him as a ruthless monster..
It's not called the ogre of the sea for nothing..
Physical resistance is at an insane level.
Well, it doesn't matter since there is a separate main dealer..
“Wait, Village..”
Soon, Amelia stepped on my shoulder, leapt, and slashed the dagger into the guy's shoulder..
The dagger is filled with an aura that has the effect of ignoring 90% of physical resistance..
Puuk-!
Amelia's dagger was stuck deep into the handle and then came out..
Pisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssw-!
Dark green fluid rising from the wound site due to pressure difference.
However, it was not a significant blow..
It's not a monster that's so weak that it hurts or interferes with its actions due to injuries of that magnitude.…….
Man, the regenerative power is also very high..
Whoa whoa-!
Soon the bastard scratched Amelia with his sharp nails. Fast movement that could double my agility value.
However, it was not enough to catch the real Minchae..
Tadat.
As soon as Amelia backstepped and avoided his counterattack, I closed the distance again to prevent him from going any further..
Due to lack of strength, one-on-one marks are not yet possible.?
It wasn't a big problem right now.
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
First of all, even though I'm the main tank, I don't have to stop him alone..
“Skin lizard! Stay away from Bjorn.!”
No matter how much you get pushed back by a single spear strike, there are several warriors next to you who can distract you..
“Missha, what are the parts? You too, please help quickly.!”
I placed the order quickly.
“Never stick close, stick close only when attacking me.!”
Melee damage is something that must be kept as a top priority during raids. Once the front line was prepared according to my instructions, the battle was established..
[Kuoooooo!!]
I take full charge of tanking the big damage..
If I get pushed back, the gangsters approach and divert my attention..
In that gap, I stick back and draw aggro, and in the meantime, Amelia deals damage every now and then, repeating the process..
“The wound is already healing. Raven, you start with the ‘worsening’! And tell me everything you know about him!”
While repeating the series of processes, Raven performed support magic and briefed information about the guy in real time..
“Bar, floor! Make sure you get far away when Stormgush slams his feet on the ground! This is the action when using the ability called [Eye of the Storm].…….”
Insufficient data to call it a strategy.
However, even this was something I could not tell my colleagues in advance..
Well, how can you talk about strategies?.
All we know is that it's level 3, but no one knows what kind of monster it is..
‘But Raven knows better, so there's no need for me to step forward..’
If Raven wasn't there, I probably would have had to do the briefing..
Because it's too risky to pretend to learn while getting hit together. In a fight with a monster like this, one blow can lead to fatal injuries..
For example…….
「Stormgush casted [Eye of the Storm].」
Yeah, just like what Raven just said..
Cooung.
After the guy hit the ground with his foot, in less than a second, a vortex formed in a 5m radius and sucked everything in it..
Hwiii profit!
Wind pressure that can be felt even from one step behind.
“Go away!”
Those who escaped the radius widened the distance one step further in case they got caught..
Oh, of course I was the exact opposite..
Tadat.
Instead of retreating from the radius, you push yourself into the whirlwind..
“Rain, Bjorn? Where are you going?!!”
[[Eye of the Storm] is an aura type skill..
That whirlwind lasts for 5 seconds around him, not at that point..
Simply put, if it runs towards us, there's a chance that someone will get caught up in it..
It is safe if someone takes charge of holding it..
Hehehey profit-!
The moment I entered the radius, the wind swirled around my entire body, but I was not drawn into it like a magnet..
「The total weight of the character is more than 1,000 kg..」
「Ignores the special effect [Eye of the Storm].」
Well, wouldn't it be even weirder if a body like this just flew away in the wind??
whistling-!
The real problem was that the trident was stabbed in an environment where it was difficult to even open one's eyes..
To be honest, I didn't even see it..
but…….
Kwaang-!
The hand moved arbitrarily and blocked the window..
Is it because I've been rolling my body around so far??
‘Wow, this is a reaction..’
Now my body is really reacting before my head..
Quang! Quang! Kwaang-!
I relied on my intuition and blocked the spear three more times, and the whirlwind soon subsided..
Okay, then we can increase the distance now..
Tadat.
As I stepped back, I heard Raven's yelling, which had been drowned out by the sound of the wind..
“Mr. Yandel, what did you just do!! I said it just before……!!”
A warning to a member who did not follow instructions.
However, as a barbarian, I had only one thing to say. Even if I say that I forgot, it's a bit much.…….
“Oh sorry. I somehow felt like that was the way to go..”
As a wizard, you should have told me in the first place..
Heavy people can't be sucked into it, so go in and hold on to it..
Tsk, this is why they are local wizards..
‘Huh, isn't such a basic thing written in the book??’
It is deplorable to me..
