Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 30
30Angry Blood Citadel (1)
All gamers have a habit of pressing the interaction key when a suspicious wall appears or an unusual sculpture appears..
I too was the same.
And that habit helped me discover numerous ‘hidden pieces’, or hidden elements, while playing [Dungeon & Stone] for 9 years..
For example, like the fountain statue here.
“Bjorn?”
“Oh, I'll go..”
I left my discomfort behind and followed my companions into the inner sanctuary..
I decided not to talk about the statue..
A barbarian knows something that even a wizard who devotes his entire life to learning doesn't know.?
‘It would be better to avoid anything that would cause suspicion..’
Not only is it clear that lying about seeing it in a book won't work this time, but isn't 'that item' an item that can't be taken outside even with distortion magic?.
“This is my hometown..”
If the outer castle served as the first line of defense in the Middle Ages, the inner castle was more like the last bastion..
Originally, this is a place where the lord's vassals, knights, and soldiers would have been stationed, and various military facilities such as armories would have existed..
Raven looked around and sighed..
“…I heard it, but I guess there's nothing to save at this rate..”
The inner city, which was one-third the size of the outer castle, was horribly destroyed..
All the buildings have collapsed and only the foundation remains..
There weren't even monsters here..
“Let’s move on to the next step quickly..”
Under Raven's instructions, we cleared away the rubble for about 30 minutes and found a path leading underground..
“Mr. Murad, could you take the lead??”
“I guess so!”
“Oh, we need to conserve magic power, so please light the torch too..”
The dwarf took out a torch and put it on his head..
Maybe it's because he's short, but he looks like a mole miner from a cartoon..
Grumbling!
We pushed away the thick wooden plank and slowly went down the stairs hidden underneath..
Third Chapter Dungeon of the Bloody Citadel.
I swallowed my saliva and changed my mind..
「Entered the first floor of the dungeon.」
Oh, I'm not good at seeing creepy things.…….
***
“Miss Raven, what kind of monsters are here??”
“I believe Skull Rat, Banshee, Deathfiend, Chimera Wolf, Ghoul Lord, and Corpse Golem will appear..”
“Except for the corpse golem, I've dealt with all the monsters..”
“You will. Corpse golems are monsters that only appear in Blood Citadel..”
“Haha, it's been a while since I've been able to accumulate achievements.!”
The dwarf was happy that he could increase his experience by fighting new monsters..
but i couldn't.
Even the illustrations were so terrible, how disgusting must it be in reality?.
“Is there anything else I need to be careful about??”
“You just have to be careful of flesh explosions. Although the explosive power is not very strong, it can be fatal if hit at close range due to the acid poison mixed in the body fluids. Of course, I will stop it before that happens..”
“Haha! There's nothing to be afraid of because there's a wizard.!”
“This is all possible because there are reliable warriors like Mr. Murad..”
Damn.
Whenever we stare at each other like we're going to kill each other and start a war of words over the loot..
plod.
As soon as I went down the last stairs, a maze-like dungeon unfolded before my eyes..
Inside the cage, dead men were chained and growling, and on the floor, skeletal rats were running around making strange noises..
“Bjorn, are these monsters too??”
“This is the Skull Rat I mentioned earlier..”
“Wizard I didn't ask you!”
For reference, the rating is unrated, like Deadman..
In fact, we didn't have enough combat power to call it a monster, so we moved forward, trampling on everything we could see..
And it wasn't long before we encountered a banshee..
“Hehehehe, hehehehe!”
The banshee was flying around in a vengeful state, with only the outline of its grotesque face visible..
“rain, bjorn…….”
Oh, he was scared of the banshee..
Raven chuckled as she saw Einar slightly clinging to me..
I'm glad Einar didn't see it. Otherwise, she would scream again and again..
“Be careful not to bump into the banshee. It's not that dangerous if you do it once or twice.…….”
“…But?”
“It's going to be a very, very scary experience..”
“Oh, what a very, very terrible experience. What does that mean! Be precise, wizard.!”
“well. Should I leave it to your imagination??”
Raven smiled as she looked at Einar, whose complexion had not turned red..
Seeing him taking revenge like this, I guess he doesn't have a very good personality either..
I sighed inwardly and joined the conversation..
“I heard that wizards have a way to deal with banshee..”
“Hmm, I heard you like books, but you have a wide range of knowledge.?”
Is this enough to hear people say that he has wide insight??
Well, if you assume that you are playing a barbarian, that might be the case.…….
Still, this is probably within the cutoff line..
“Well then, let's stop messing around and get the banshees sorted out first. Teirun Shell.”
Soon, an arrow of light created from Raven's staff shot out and pierced the banshee..
The name of the magic in the game is magic power..
Because it was a basic attack spell no different from a wizard's normal attack, there was no casting time..
“Kihiiiiiiiig!!!”
After waiting a moment, dozens of banshees began to flock in, spouting fierce hatred..
He sensed the ‘sign’ left behind by a colleague upon his death..
From the perspective of a wizard who possesses many powerful AoE skills, this would have been welcome news..
“Iherno Haindar.”
baptism of fire.
Flames spouting from a magic wand filled the straight passage..
And when the fire died down.
There were no banshee left..
Whoa whoa!
This time too, the magic stones that fell on the floor floated in the air and went into my pocket..
Actually, I envy this the most more than the attack spell..
You don’t have to pick up the magic stones one by one..
Huh, how long would it take to bring a wizard to the team?…….
Once again, I think there is still a long way to go..
***
The 2D world beyond the monitor and reality are different..
Even more so if it's a chill that passes through your skin..
「The character entered the second floor of the dungeon..」
The dungeon I experienced firsthand felt almost like a mad scientist's laboratory..
A chimera wolf with three or four heads and bulging muscles like a mutant..
A ghoul lord who carries thirty elder ghouls at a time..
Not only do these 8th grade monsters all have grotesque appearances, but each and every small prop around them is reminiscent of horror games..
The point of Hwaryong starts now..
“By the way, Ms. Raven is amazing. Isn’t it scary??”
“well. Because I really like anatomy. I don't mind this much.”
Damn, that wouldn't be a barbarian dissection.?
Come to think of it, I heard that the reason why Barbarian hearts are sold so expensively is because they are magic ingredients.…….
“Ah, it has arrived.”
After hunting all the monsters in the dungeon, we reached the third basement level and discovered a hidden door leading to the underground space of the collapsed Yeongju Castle..
Originally, I would have had to obtain a map from the guard's office first.…….
“There's a door hidden behind the wall, so it's a good thing I memorized the map in advance and got in..”
Thanks to Raven's thorough preparation, I never got lost..
Well, even if I was alone, I would have found it just fine..
Because the structure of the dungeon matched the game..
‘But that's possible because I'm all a player..’
I can once again feel the status of a wizard..
Powerful attack magic.
High utility support system abilities such as Wound Aggravation Curse.
The knowledge gained by reading numerous books.
It's not for nothing that wizards are treated more than priests on the team..
“It would be best to leave your backpack in front of here. At least Mr. Yandel..”
Feeling a little embarrassed, I put down my extra-large backpack that went from my head to my thighs in front of the door..
…If I make money, I should buy a magic backpack first..
This isn't the first time I've felt uncomfortable because of this..
“Ah, from now on, Mr. Yandel, please light the torch too..”
Following Raven's instructions, I also fixed the torch above my head..
With this, all preparations are completed..
Squeak, squeak, squeak-
When I open the iron door by turning the round valve, a rotten stench rushes in..
“It's a completely unexpected place..”
“Hey, wizard… Do I really have to go in here??”
“I hate it to death, but I can't help it..”
A space reminiscent of a wastewater treatment plant.
The cylindrical walls were lined with large water pipes, dripping with something that looked like dark waste..
also.
There was a mountain of broken and severed limbs and heads piled on the floor, and the gas that had accumulated as they decayed stinged my nose and gave me a headache..
“Week, week!”
The first person to vomit was the porter..
The guy who was holding Raven's weight next to her as if she was guarding him, recited what was inside with a really expressionless face..
The second was Raven.
“Ugh, wow!”
Although they may be visually tolerant due to their extensive dissection experience, they appear to be vulnerable to smells..
Surprisingly, I held on..
Even though there was a scene before my eyes that would have made me faint in the past, it had no effect on the body of this good-natured barbarian..
“I'm glad you're okay. Let's move forward.”
Feeling an indescribable feeling, I slowly approached the center..
Jiik.
Every time I walked, it made a sound like I was stepping on a sponge..
And as the light got closer to the center, the huge shape that was only an outline in the darkness became clearer..
“hi.”
Surprisingly it spoke to us.
In a female voice like a broken guidance tape.
“Wow, break it! fat! I chuckled, help me! me! Kikigeek, crackle, delicious, uh, father, kihi!”
Uh, um, uh…….
Honestly, it was a bit shocking..
“after…….”
Hey, you were always quiet in the game..
Why are you doing this to me??
It's natural to cry, but nothing will change if you lament..
Looking to the side, even the trustworthy dwarf is frozen..
“Everyone, come to your senses.!!”
I immediately shouted and woke up my dazed team members..
But was this even a stimulus?.
“father! father! it hurts! it hurts! sick! It hurts!!”
The pile of corpses that had been curled up stood up and took a step forward with something I couldn't tell if it was a foot or something..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Mid-boss of the Bloody Citadel.
It was a corpse golem..
***
Although [Dungeon & Stone] is the culmination of minor games, it is not without its popular aspects..
At least one illustration was famous..
This is because lively illustrations that appear to have been taken from black-and-white photos are often used as so-called 'pictures' on the Internet..
Few people actually knew that the illustrations came from a game, but.
I realized once more.
“Seeba.”
No matter how realistic the picture is, it cannot match the real thing..
“it hurts! it hurts! It hurts!!!!”
Is this what it would feel like if you gathered thousands of human arms, legs, and heads and put them all together?.
Each one even moves individually as if it has will..
So are hundreds of mouths..
Everyone pours out what they want to say without any control..
Most of them are momentary emotions that have no logic, such as painful, cold, resentful, kill me, save me..
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
Well, either that or it was just a scream..
Everyone was once again stunned by the creepy harmony created by combining all kinds of bizarre voices..
“Hikuroad! be careful!”
A wizard said to be good at anatomy..
A 3rd year dwarf who has encountered numerous monsters..
A human man who gave off an aura that seemed quite worthy of being a carrier..
They treated the two novice barbarians like scum, but…….
Surprisingly, at this moment, the only ones who haven't lost their cool are me and Einar..
“What is everyone doing?!”
That was when Einar, who had been keeping a close eye on the corpse golem, lifted the dwarf by the scruff of his neck..
Kwaaang!
A pile of corpses flew in like a shot put and exploded on the spot. And the blood and flesh scattered and stuck to Einar and the dwarf..
Chii Iik!
Fortunately, Einar was not hit because he was wearing clothes, but the dwarf was different..
“Argh! eye! my eyes……!”
Damn, it looks like it somehow got into the narrow gap in the helmet and hit my eye..
The dwarf was neutralized in an instant..
And the wizard who said to only trust himself…….
“Yuck, wow!”
I'm still throwing up..
…What are you guys really doing??
Somehow, things got resolved easily..
Whatever, that can't be possible..
“Einar! Take the dwarf and go back and protect the wizard.!”
After shouting, I raised my shield upward and faced the corpse golem..
there was no choice.
I don't want to stand out as much as possible, but…….
Aren’t the bus drivers and the guys who installed them doing something stupid?.
“Behel—laaaa!!”
If you want to survive, you have no choice but to take the wheel yourself..
