Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 299
299angry evil spirit (3)
Barbarian's naming style is very cool..
If the child is a son, the father's name is used as the last name, and if the child is a daughter, the biological mother's name is used as the last name..
Therefore, there are no clans within the tribe, and all barbarians regard each other as family..
Well, I don't know if that matters now..
‘Yandel Jharku.’
It is very unlikely that they are the same person.
So, how much is ‘Yandel, the third son of Jharku’?.
In fact, it is correct to view him as the biological father..
but…….
“Hahaha! How long are you going to shame my hands?!”
Okay, let's come to our senses first..
Your biological father? But what about that??
You may be surprised and embarrassed, but you shouldn't be this mesmerized..
I'm not really Bjorn Yandel.
“Oh, I was distracted for a second..”
First, I shook hands and stepped back..
This concludes my self-introduction..
Carlton smiled awkwardly and got to the point..
If explorers from different affiliations meet in a rift, what should they do first?.
“Haha, that's enough of the introduction. We'll have to keep going together from now on, so let's discuss how to dispose of the loot..”
As soon as the distribution of loot was mentioned, Amelia grabbed my wrist and led me back..
“Take a moment to discuss it with your colleague..”
huh? A top??
I tilted my head and followed obediently..
And when they were alone, I quietly asked.
“Why did you suddenly decide to wear a top? You probably already decided how to distribute the loot.?”
“I didn't call you for the loot..”
“If not?”
Amelia asked my question cautiously..
“are you okay……?”
Only then did I understand why he had called me separately..
Actually, he probably doesn’t know why I stiffened up..
“Okay. I'm a little surprised, but I won't have the kind of accident you're worried about..”
“I'm asking because I'm worried about accidents or something.…….”
huh? Otherwise what is it??
As I stared, Amelia blurted out..
“It's okay, I guess it's not something I should worry about. Then let's go back. The distribution issue will be handled as decided earlier..”
We pretended to have finished our discussion and returned to the center to deal with the issue of returning the loot in earnest, which ended quickly and without much trouble..
Well, we didn't come for drinking water..
“I really think it would be okay if I just took the magic stone.……?”
Instead of giving all the essence that comes out to the other side, it was decided that we would keep the rest..
“It includes not only magic stones but also number items and crack stones..”
“But I'm not sure if we can capture the Guardian.?”
“Don't worry about it, we'll take care of it..”
“Well, if that's the case.”
Carlton looked bewildered at the conditions that were so advantageous to them, but he didn't say anything more..
Then, this concludes the loot agenda..
“……Yandel, come here.!”
Huh, I really can't get used to that..
Every time my name is called, I flinch for no reason..
“uh? I talked to the authors more…….”
“You can't do that later. I saw earlier that the blade of the ax was dull. You are sharpening it with a whetstone..”
“huh? I think it's okay... … I get it!”
Anyway, as soon as the conversation about loot was over, Yandel Jarku was called in by a colleague, and we didn't particularly approach him..
An awkward time passed while we kept our distance from each other..
“What are they talking about over there??”
“I'm guessing what the intention is for us not to drink purified water..”
“guess?”
I thought they cared about everything, but when I thought about it, I didn't know if it was natural for them..
The fact that we do not consume essence can be interpreted to mean that we are strong enough to not need the essence of the 3rd floor rift..
I feel anxious because I don't know what kind of people we are.…….
“Bjorn, who are your parents??”
Suddenly, Amelia asked me.
The intention was so obvious that I felt embarrassed and laughed..
What are parents,
“Are you curious about my biological father??”
“any.”
“If so, I'm sorry. Actually, I don't know either. Except that I died in the labyrinth when I was very young..”
It wasn't something I just made up, it was true..
It's not that I'm an evil spirit, but even the original owner of this body knew very little about his father..
It was a common occurrence in barbarian society..
99% of the members of this race make their living by exploring the labyrinth..
The death rate is bound to be high..
“stop talking about this.”
When I spoke firmly, Amelia didn't ask any more, but instead leaned back against the wall and started chewing the beef jerky..
How much time has passed like that??
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The front door, which had been tightly shut, began to open..
“Looks like the portals on the other side are all closed too..”
It was time to start exploring the cracks..
***
White Temple is a competitive rift..
Only one team can enter the boss room, and this is decided on a first-come, first-served basis..
In that sense, we got off to a good start..
5Thanks to the quick entry deadline, we were able to handle issues such as loot distribution in advance.…….
“Well then, let's go. Ah, but who will go first??”
Well, if you're going to lose strength with the formation, you should have done it earlier..
“I go first.”
“ah! Then I will stand next to you—”
“Yandel!”
“……?”
“Come here. Monsters can come out from behind too..”
“Ah, I got it.!”
As I stood in front, the battle formation was naturally established..
Jharku is at the back, and the other three are in the center..
Of course, Jinhyeong didn’t mean much to us..
Isn’t this a 3rd floor crack anyway?.
That's also the level of difficulty based on 5 people..
‘Let’s clear it quickly and get out before something annoying happens..’
With that thought in mind, I went through the door and found a stone chamber with the same structure as the previous temple..
The square footage was similar, but there was only one stone statue..
and…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The light flowing from the blue gem held in the stone statue's hand spread throughout the hall like fog..
‘He's the boss type from the beginning..’
After confirming only the features of this room through the colors, I relaxed my neck and walked briskly into the fog of light..
Then Carlton was embarrassed and gave a warning..
“Hey, look! I don't know what will come out…….”
Um, yeah. You don't know that much detail..
I knew it was a competitive structure, so I thought about it just in case..
Now that I see it, all I've heard about is the White Temple..
thud.
Then a huge shadow appeared beyond the fog..
It was bipedal and was approximately 5 meters tall..
Cheonggap Giant Soldier.
Normally, this is a mid-boss type enemy that the 3rd and 4th floor explorers would have to fight as a team of 5..
However, at any rate, it is a monster in the 3rd floor crack..
Even in terms of experience, the level is only level 6.…….
‘Even in terms of force, it's lower than level 5..’
Even if it's a mid-boss, it's nothing compared to a level 5 monster like a troll..
thus…….
“hemp cloth—”
Oh, you shouldn't do this..
“Ougaaaaaa!!”
Letting out a primitive cry, he rushed forward..
“for a moment! Let's fight together…….”
Carlton said something behind me, but there was no reason to listen. Because it would be easier for both parties to openly reveal their power rather than hide it..
‘gigantism.’
First, match the weight class with the opponent and then.
‘jump.’
Jump up and close the distance in an instant.
and…….
‘swing.’
Full swing with all my might.
Kwasik-!
With that basic combo, the neck of the giant soldier wearing blue-silver armor was bent into a deformed shape..
“wow, what kind of power……!”
Newbies continued to praise me behind the scenes, but for me, it was quite bitter..
Is this the sorrow of a tanker??
Even with my current strength, I can't get one kill..
Oh, it's embarrassing.
I should just leave it to the dealer..
“Emily!”
As soon as I called the dealer, I felt someone coming from behind..
and…….
Puuk.
A dagger overflowing with aura pierced the heart of the giant soldier..
Kwasik-!
Soon the giant soldier became light and disappeared, and the fog that had filled the surrounding area disappeared..
The situation ended 3 seconds after the battle started..
“Oh, what an auror?…….”
“Why are these people on the 3rd floor?…….”
20Newbies from a year ago started to whine..
It seemed like he realized it only then..
“What should I do? Don't follow me quickly?”
“Ah, go, cover.……!”
They said they boarded an express bus..
***
3Layer cracking is a staged structure..
When you clear one room, the next room opens, and only the team that finishes it the fastest gets the right to enter the boss room..
Kwasik-!
Even after clearing the first room in 3 seconds, Amelia and I showed off our true skills and cleared the rooms at lightning speed..
However, like the first stage, it was rarely completed within a few seconds..
If there is a boss type, there is also a quantity type..
“Ougaaaaaaaa!!”
During a certain period of time, monsters pour in, traps or mobs that spread mental abilities appear, etc..
As we progressed through rooms with various concepts, the difficulty of the stage gradually increased..
This was the characteristic of the White Temple..
This place grants a status abnormality to the character every time a stage is cleared, or gives a permanent buff to monsters that will appear in the next stage..
So I usually don't run like this recklessly..
“for a moment! I've heard of that symbol before. There is something hidden here that can lift the curse on us.…….”
As Carlton advises, the standard strategy is to activate hidden elements in each room..
In the first place, there were hints like that in every room..
At the crossroads, you can look at the pattern and find a room where the curse can be lifted..
but…….
“Okay, I don't feel like it..”
“I'm not in the mood, what kind of weird thing is that?—”
“You talk a lot. Just follow me.”
“…….”
I skipped everything that took even a little time..
I decided that even if the difficulty level increased, there would be no problem in clearing it..
It was a time when I was breaking through the crack like crazy..
“Emily, why won't this door open??”
“This is a feature of the gold room. I don't know why, but I had to wait about 3 hours for it to open..”
“Oh, I see.?”
When we arrived at the midpoint of the crack, we gathered together and took a rest..
“Are you going to rest here??”
When I asked him if he felt comfortable being far away like before, Carlton smiled shyly..
“It’s meaningless anyway..”
Well, that's true, but.
I didn't expect it to come out so honestly..
As I was laughing, Carlton apologized..
“I apologize. At first I thought you guys were suspicious. I thought they might hit us in the back..”
“But not now??”
“exactly.”
“The reason is?”
“If you had bad intentions, we would have died a long time ago. Just because the three of us are missing doesn't mean we don't have the ability to break through the crack..”
Dan Carlton, who gave a logical reason, continued:.
“First of all, they don't look like the kind of people who would do something like that..”
“Is it intuition??”
“exactly. Not me, but that friend's.”
At the end of Carlton's gaze sat a barbarian warrior chewing beef jerky..
Now that I look at it, it looks like its profile resembles mine..
“Take a break.”
After a short conversation with Carlton, I got up and walked over to Jarku's side..
“Oh, what's going on here? Oh, would you like some too??”
As soon as I arrived, Zarku smiled innocently and handed me some beef jerky..
I took it and put it in my mouth..
Please note that there was no need to take off the helmet. To prepare for situations like this, when I was making it, I made it so that only the mouth part could be raised and lowered..
“Isn’t that uncomfortable? If it were me, I don't think I could last even a day because it's so cramped..”
“It's okay once you get used to it..”
“haha! Is this the adaptability of humans that everyone talks about?!”
Jarkku laughed heartily and laid down his backpack on the floor. And he asked an unexpected question.
“Bjorn, do you have any children??”
“……does not exist.”
“is it? i have.”
“What is your name??”
“Bjorn. I am Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
Yes, you are really the biological father of this body..
More than anything, as the clear evidence was placed before my eyes, I felt as if my heart was being squeezed once again..
“Isn’t it a pretty good name??”
“……I think so.”
Afterwards, Jarkku chatted one-sidedly for a while. Most of it was about his children, and I listened to him in silence..
It was that time.
Exciting-
As I watched him speak in a brighter voice, I suddenly found myself unable to make eye contact..
So I avoided eye contact..
Then, from a distance, I saw Amelia observing me with somewhat sad eyes..
Thanks to you, I realized the feelings in my heart..
“Hehe, he will definitely become a great warrior. A child whose blood is mixed with mine and hers.—”
“stop!”
“huh?”
“Stop, I'll just leave.…….”
it was a feeling of guilt.
