Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 279
279angry whirlpool (5)
“I somehow felt like that was the way to go, that's what I mean—!”
Uh, I think this was a seizure button for some reason..
I interrupted the conversation before it got too long and changed the topic..
Feedback to each other is something we can do later..
“Oh, so what's next? What should I watch out for??”
While saying that, he hurriedly joined Stormgush and held out his shield forward. Then Raven had no choice but to stop reprimanding me and continue explaining..
“Next is the ability called [Dragon Vein]. When used, the ground turns red... … . Ah, now! Avoid Mr. Yandel.!!”
Stormgush's second active skill [Dragonvein]].
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
A mark appears below the subject, and a moment later a column of air explodes..
Just like this.
Pushuuut—!
Huh, I almost got hit because I wrote it so suddenly..
“Everyone, step back! Soon a [vortex] will emerge from the hole..”
Anyway, [Dragon Vein] not only has powerful instantaneous damage, but also has the characteristic of spewing out a [vortex] from the point where the hole is created..
For reference, the name and effect used by the Siren Queen, who was a mid-boss, match perfectly.…….
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
If you get hit by that, you will be floating in the air until your colleagues rescue you, and MP will be taken away in proportion to that time..
Well, at my weight, I am immune to airborne.…….
‘But you still lose MP.’
Must be avoided at all costs.
Especially if you're not a heavy kid like me..
“Everyone, don't stick together, stay apart.!”
The first dragon vein appeared nearby, and the difficulty of the battle increased significantly. In the meantime, the radius of action was reduced due to having to avoid the whirlpool..
However, there is an easy solution to this pattern right now..
“From now on, I will fight while moving.!”
Just move your seat.
Anyway, this bastard is the only one left on this island..
In fact, the entire island becomes a boss room..
There is no reason not to utilize the widely available fields..
‘……In fact, this method may not be of much use, but.’
This is one of the tricky things about this guy when there is a shortage of deals. If you keep using [Dragon Vein], the map will eventually become narrow..
But in the meantime…….
“uh? Why is the sea water so far down here?…….”
Due to the nature of Parune Island, after the fourth wave began, the sea level gradually rose and eventually all but the center of the island was submerged..
“Mr. Yandel! It's a big deal! The water is rising! Uh, what should I do??”
What should I do? What should I do?.
First of all, you have to keep moving and fighting..
“Maintain the formation like this and head towards the center.!”
Fortunately, no one questioned my instructions..
Even though they were themselves, they couldn't think of a better way..
「Stormgush casted [Tyrant's Roar].」
Anyway, even during the battle and movement, Stormgush used new skills..
“Ersina! That's what I said earlier! Hurry up and purify!”
Although it is reduced in proportion to anti-magic power or mental status, it is an insane wide-area attack that inflicts a whopping 'stun' in a 10m radius for up to 2 seconds [Tyrant's Roar]].
I lightly countered it with the priest's purification..
「Stormgush casted [Brother of the Storm].」
A berserk with a temporary surge in regeneration and physical strength.?
“Everyone stay away!”
I just endured all the beatings..
Instead, there were holes in the shield and armor, and even throughout the body.…….
This is all you need to endure with the priest's heels..
‘The equipment… … . It'll cost me some money to repair it later..’
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel sick, but considering that I'm raiding a level 3 monster, this is worth taking..
Cancer, life is more important than money.
“Stamp your feet! Everyone stay away!”
Stormgush repeatedly used the four skills in turns, and over time, the team members became more skilled at his patterns..
However, it is too early to be reassured..
He has three more skills that I haven't used yet..
‘fucking level 3.’
3This is the decisive difference between grade 4 and grade 4..
There is a clear difference not only in basic stats but also in the number of skills they have..
Moreover, monsters of this level not only have essential skills, but also have unique abilities..
For example, vampire black magic or something like that..
‘That was a weapon skill..’
In the game, critical, accuracy, evasion, defense success rate, etc. ‘Weapon skills’ that had stat corrections in many combat items’.
Stormgush's weapon skill level was high..
Is that why??
‘You use the window brilliantly..’
The spear thrust of the monster is very strong..
Should I say that it feels like there is some kind of trick involved, rather than just pushing with force??
‘Anyway, I'll start using the remaining patterns when I run out of stamina.…….’
“Mr. Yandel, did you hear? If that guy starts using that ability, everyone is in danger. Somehow, I have to think of a way now.……!”
Well, screaming.
I've already thought about it.
I just waited because I thought it would look suspicious if I came up with a solution as soon as the explanation was over..
Plan A and Plan B.
This time too, I have two plans..
The best is A, the next best is B..
the only problem is…….
‘variable.’
This plan is impossible.
In the future, we will fight in-depth battles that we could not experience with low-level monsters..
and…….
Someone who is unlucky gets hurt.
Or maybe I could die.
I just hope.
I know it's selfishness disguised as altruism, but.
Nevertheless, if someone has to suffer misfortune.
‘Partsran, Ersina, Nebarce, Amelia.’
I hope it's not us.
“There's nowhere to run now!”
It's time to engrave my priorities once again.
Pachran shouted..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Water was rising in the direction I was moving..
It was impossible to escape by boat..
Hundreds of tornadoes have been raging around the island since the first wave ended..
‘……At this rate, it can be said that more than half of the area is locked..’
There is little time now..
“move over there!”
I led the group towards the center of the island, taking as wide a loop as possible..
And I asked my colleagues for one thing..
“We need to do as much damage to him as possible..”
It will be difficult, but we will fight harder.
“Is there something planned??”
Amelia asked, and I explained the plan I had laid out without hesitation..
“……He said he came up with such a plan after hearing it from the wizard.?”
The male prosecutor made a strange expression upon my explanation..
“But will that work? From what I've heard, it seems like a very vain and dangerous plan..”
The goddess expressed concern..
and…….
“Bjorn is a great warrior! He knows how to fight better than anyone else!”
Einar shouted, not missing an opportunity to show off to others..
“also… It's like you're the only one who wants to play that role.?”
Misha muttered somewhat sadly and said that he would also join us..
Of course I didn't allow it..
Regardless of my feelings of caring for Misha, this was the most efficient staffing arrangement..
So, what is the evaluation of Raven, the epitome of efficiency?.
“Not a bad plan. Especially in terms of preparing for failure..”
Yeah, you're ok too.
“It's not a voice that tells nonsense. Okay, I'll do as you say..”
After that, even Amelia, who I was most worried about, agreed to my plan and eased my burden..
It was a bit surprising.
I never thought he would accept the role so willingly..
When I hinted a question, Amelia said something unexpected..
“your words have power.”
huh?
“I see what you mean..”
Pachran, who had been bickering with Amelia the whole time, nodded..
“You didn't despair at all even when a level 3 monster appeared..”
That's just because I've known it for a long time.…….
“That's probably how they felt when they decided to follow you that day..”
The female priest also mentioned the events that occurred in the Noark exhibition on the first floor..
“Bjorn, son of Yandel. A giant who opens the way ahead of anyone else and a person born with the mission of the times..”
Even if you say that, I don't know.
I'm just feeling sad.
It's not like I showed anything noble in front of them.……
“In a situation where I couldn't be certain, I was confident after seeing you safely reunite with your colleagues. Destiny follows you.”
Ha, this is why they are religious people..
“……What are you saying?.”
I sigh.
Of course, even if I am a hero or something, I know my true nature. Just a moment ago, I was praying in my heart that even if they died, we would be safe..
however…….
‘Why are you doing this to me?.’
The warrior's heart rings heavily..
Is it a barbarian's instinct to want to live up to expectations??
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
Okay, let's fight.
Before feeling any greater responsibility towards them, I gave myself up to the battle and cleared my head..
「Stormgush casted [Eye of the Storm].」
Also, this is it.
“Everyone step back.!”
As soon as the whirlpool hit, I latched onto the guy and started holding him..
Wheeeeeeee profit-!
A fierce storm that makes it difficult to tell even an inch ahead.
Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Anyway, the wind is just the wind.
Even if I pray for 100 days, I cannot decide who will die and who will survive..
Kwaaang-!
It's like this whirlpool..
What will happen at the end of the wind depends only on the sky..
“Mr. Yandel, there is nowhere to turn now..”
[[Eye of the Storm] After blocking the pattern once more and moving further, the center of the island appeared..
A vacant lot hidden in the bushes.
The white stone tower located in the middle.
Even the dark blood stains scattered on the ground..
A place where I spent what seemed like eons just yesterday, praying for everyone to be safe..
“Yes, water is rushing in from all directions.!”
The entire island except this one sank, and now you can see the sea wherever you go..
「Stormgush casted [Dragon Vein].」
Coming here, a [vortex] spewed out from the hole made in the floor by Storm Gush, mixing with the water and swirling around us..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
I probably would have been satisfied if it was a game..
It’s a majestic atmosphere worthy of a boss battle..
Cooung-!
Stormgush soon arrived in front of us and slammed the pole of his trident on the ground..
「Stormgush casted [Rain Prayer].」
One of the three remaining skills that begins to be used when HP falls below 70%.
‘Okay, I think my blood was managed well..’
It's time to see the outcome.
***
[prayer for rain].
One of Stormgush's three core skills.
The effect is simple.
fighting, fighting.
it is raining.
For reference, if you are hit by the rain, your regenerative power and overall physical stats will increase significantly, but your characters will suffer various debuffs..
Of course, this is a minor issue up to this point..
Because the real thing is in the next pattern.
“What are you all doing? do as planned!”
Starting from my shout, everyone from the rear rushed at him..
This is the same for me too.
[Oh oh oh oh-!!]
Unlike before, I really didn't spare my body and rushed at the guy..
Well, this was our plan
This is the same.
[As soon as [Rain Prayer] is used, hit all damage and kill him in one go..
Therefore, there is no reason to hesitate.
This means that the more injuries you accumulate on your body, the easier it will be for your colleagues to deal damage..
Puuk-!
Soon, Mr. Bear's arrow penetrated deep into its hard shell..
Well, it wouldn't have hurt my skin that much.…….
「Avman Urikfried casted [Hungry Claws].」
That arrow is an arrow that deals continuous damage..
As the number of arrows stuck increases, the burden on him will also increase..
Next it was Missha's turn..
「Misha Karstein casted [Strengthen].」
「Misha Karstein casted [Cold Condensation].」
As always, Misha [strengthened] [Cold Condensation] and increased the cold sensitivity value, which is the coefficient of cold damage..
In addition, the active power of the ice beast Skadia, a spirit beast contracted with the Frost Spirit Ring, was unlocked.
「Misha Karlstein casted [Absolute Zero].」
[absolute zero].
After receiving the royal reward, I drank dozens of bottles of ‘Blood of the Beast’ and gained the second power..
「The character's first hit unconditionally causes the status abnormality 'Freeze'..」
Soon, white frost covered the sword and Misha swung the sword at the guy..
The area hit was the right arm of the guy holding the trident..
Jijijijik.
The guy's forearm was frozen solid..
Of course, because the anti-horsepower was high and the body was so large, the only thing that was 'frozen' was the arms.…….
Because this is all build-up in the first place..
「Misha Karstein casted [Ice Crush].」
‘An active skill that increases damage to enemies in the 'freeze' state. In addition, level 5 skills obtained as royal rewards were added..
「Misha Karstein casted [Mutation].」
「Dexterity values are temporarily converted to strength values..」
A skill that Misha, who lacks strength, will be able to use usefully until the latter half of the game..
Kwaang-!
Dual-wielding swordsman Misha's second blade struck the frozen guy's arm..
However, was it only the shell that was frozen??
Jijijijik.
Shards flew out like ice breaking, but the guy's thick arms were intact. Well, it's even weirder if you cut off the arm of a level 3 monster with a single sword even though you poured everything into it..
“I'm next!”
As soon as it went crazy and aimed at Misha, Einar rushed forward and slashed his sword at the broken wrist..
but…….
Kakak-!
[Even when the cutting force increased rapidly with [Wildlife Control], it was not enough. I dug deep into the flesh, but it wasn't long before I got caught up in the hard bones..
[Oh oh oh-!!]
“Ah, Einar.!!”
It turned its body as if protecting its arm and hit Einar with its tail..
‘Shit.’
Even if it was Einar, it would be difficult to get up from being hit.…….
3The scary thing about grade monsters.
Even if it is not a skill, each normal hit is fatal.…….
「Stormgush casted [Eye of the Storm].」
Nimiral, I'm using this again now.?
Tadat.
As I rushed forward, my colleagues stepped back..
And in that state…….
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Holding on even if I die soon.
After 5 seconds, which felt unusually long, the whirlwind cleared..
“Man, step back.!”
Ah, now you are ready too..
I quickly moved to the side so as not to disturb Erwen..
It was that moment.
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Focused Fire].」
Grade 4 essence obtained as a reward from the royal family.
The skill, which consumes MP exponentially in proportion to the casting time and increases damage accordingly, has been completed..
But did you hit all your MP??
The force of the light forming on the arrowhead is extraordinary.—
Whit-!
At that time, Erwen let go of his protest and an arrow was shot like a flash..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The point of impact is his upper abdomen.
It seems like they were aiming for a place where the heart is likely to be..
The head is also a critical point, but it is difficult to hit..
[Oh oh oh oh—!!]
Stormgush roared as if in pain..
But the movement was fine..
Unfortunately, the arrow didn't seem to pierce the heart..
But it wasn't too sad or anything..
Even if you got it right, it would have been difficult to kill it with one hit. Level 3 monsters do not die instantly if their heart is pierced.…….
“uh?”
That's when Stormgush made his first visible motion..
「Stormgush casted [Storm Call].」
It was a skill used when HP was at 40%..
