Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 33
33angry warrior (1)
Monsters are broadly classified into four categories:.
1. variant.
This refers to cases where the species value is the same but the class is different, such as a goblin archer and a swordsman..
2. higher species.
The Desfiend we met in the Land of the Dead belongs to this category..
Please note that this is a relative classification method. If the grade is even one higher than the average grade of the corresponding floor, it is called a higher species..
3. rare species.
Monsters that can only be found in certain cracks, such as Corpse Golems, or extremely difficult to encounter in general fields, such as Mimics, are included here..
4. top variant.
It refers to a named monster with unique memories and an individual name..
The biggest characteristic is that it has the ‘power of essence’..
In short, much stronger and more demanding.
What would happen if an 'ogre', famous for its thick skin, possesses the regenerative ability of a 'troll'??
A crazy monster is born.
so that……
***
I'm running with all my might.
“What on earth is that guy? Why on earth are vampires in a place like this?…….”
“Run while you're whining, dwarf..”
Get out of the boss room entrance,
“Whoop, whoop, I can't run anymore…….”
“Please excuse me, Raven..”
Follow the way you came and pass the water pipe.,
“Anyway, if I don't catch that guy, I can't leave here. Wouldn't it be better to fight??”
“At least go somewhere with sunlight.”
“Even if you say it's sunlight, isn't the sky red?!”
“Still, it's better than here.”
Even after entering the maze structure of the dungeon,.
“Turn left here!”
Continuing to sprint at full speed.
Well, this is like his home ground..
First of all, we have to go outside somehow..
That way, there is at least some chance of survival..
“Wow, a high-level mutant appears as a guardian... It's unprecedented..”
Well, that's not really the case..
3Even in the 'White Temple' of the floor, high-ranking mutant species appear as guardians. It is safe to say that all cracks from the 8th floor, which is classified as deep, are such cases..
Well, if only the first floor is the standard, it would not be wrong to say that there is no precedent..
Even I, a 9-year veteran who has played the game 10,000 times in total, have never met ‘Vampire Duke’..
I only found out about its existence after seeing a recording posted by a player on the only community site..
“Oh right! How did you know Mr. Bjorn earlier? You told me to close the door.!”
Is that goddamn passion for learning even in this situation??
“I say it again, run when the time comes..”
“But I'm not running myself.?”
Yeah, I guess you are..
But I'm not?
“…I just had that intuition..”
Before it got any more annoying, I just walked around and blocked the conversation..
However, if I were to answer in my heart,…….
The reason I was able to notice this was because of the color of the doorknob..
In the recording posted by that user, that was the only thing that was different from the usual Bloody Citadel..
When the vampire did not appear even after trying hundreds of times under the same conditions as the user in question, I watched the recording to see if there were any special conditions and was able to find that small change..
If I hadn't been so excited about my good luck, I might have found it before I opened the door.?
Well, I don't think it's something to think about now..
“These guests are rude..”
As soon as we reached the second floor of the dungeon, he appeared..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
It was chasing us not as a person, but as a black mist..
It is not a vampire's special ability, but one of the dozens of black magics it possesses, 'Wonho Hwa'.’.
This is why I hate monsters that use magic..
Utility is crazy.
“Raven!”
I immediately called our wizard.
The purpose was to ask whether you could use solar magic, one of the opposites of vampires..
But was it pointless meddling?.
“Everyone close your eyes!”
The casting of the wizard girl had already been completed..
“Ahesenberg Two!”
‘Bright explosion’.
A support spell usually used as an area blind effect..
Even with my eyes closed, I can clearly feel the intense flash of light momentarily..
Beep-.
I open my eyes, ignoring the ringing in my ears, and see that the black smoke I was chasing has disappeared..
thank god.
‘Prevents the use of the core combo ‘Body Conversion’ of ‘Various Soul Flower’.
It is safe to say that I gained at least 3 minutes..
He must have woken up in that worship room by now..
However, the news of victory always comes along with the news of tragedy.?
“Bjorn! the wizard got hit!”
“what?”
Looking at Einar's words, I see that Raven, who was being held by the carrier, has fainted. He must have suffered internal injuries and blood is dripping from his mouth..
…what? Did that bastard use some kind of magic??
‘You won't be able to use attack magic in the 'Various Spirit' state.?
‘Indeed, the power of essence?’
Maybe so..
In the recording, they were completely wiped out without any chance to do anything, so it was impossible to confirm which monster's essence the Vampire Duke had in addition..
Various possibilities swirled through my mind, but I decided to think about them later..
“Do something! without running?”
“Didn't the wizard who knew the way faint?!”
“do not worry. Because I know the way.”
“…how do you do that?”
Looking at the dwarf full of questions, I answered briefly..
“I memorized it.”
“I've only been here once……?”
Actually hundreds of times.
I really went in and out of here because I wanted to meet the vampire duke. I didn't expect to see that face here, not beyond the monitor, but.
“Follow me.”
No more questions were allowed and ran ahead..
Later, when the wizard opens his eyes, he will see me as an unusual barbarian.?
What does that mean?.
Surviving comes first.
“You really memorized the route.…….”
After running non-stop and reaching the first basement floor, the dwarf lets out an exclamation..
“Guys, is it true that the coming of age ceremony was completed last month??”
“Of course! I told you so! Bjorn is a great warrior!”
“A great warrior... I really don't know if that will happen someday..”
They say compliments make even whales dance, but I am not a whale. I hope you run harder during that time..
It feels like just 2 minutes have passed now..
ta da da dat.
Left, right, straight, straight, right, left, straight, straight.
As I run without stopping, drawing a map in my head, the exit finally comes into view..
Has it just been about 3 minutes??
I checked behind me one last time before climbing the stairs..
“Huh, huh…….”
Everyone was breathing hard, but probably because everyone had good basic stamina, no one fell behind..
The problem is that you can see the Seecommon acting beyond the team members..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Should I have just thrown away my entire backpack??
Then we could have opened up a little more distance..
Even if you regret it later, nothing will change.
Let's focus on what we can do now.
ta da da dat!
I accelerated my steps.
But did you use ‘bodyification’??
Sagagagak.
I can hear the sound of something being assembled behind me..
Now it's a judgment call.
I jumped up two or three stairs at a time in a last-minute spurt..
and…….
“It's outside!”
finally came to the ground.
without a single death.
“Deep inside, I was worried, but it seems like he really wasn't following me.…….”
The dwarf muttered under his breath..
However, as if he still doesn't feel safe, his eyes are fixed on the stairs leading to the basement..
Well, if you have eyes, you would know..
In the end, it just bought me a little more time..
Still, none of the problems have been resolved.
“…how long do you think it will take?”
In response to the dwarf's question, I looked beyond the castle wall and looked at the ridge on the other side and shrugged my shoulders..
Well, I don't know the exact time.…….
“Just by looking at it, you can see that there isn't much left..”
It's clear that time is not on our side.
Soon, that dark red sky will turn completely black..
So, you have to prepare before that..
***
“What exactly is the wizard's condition??”
“Since you took the potion, you will come to your senses soon..”
“Are you sure??”
“…I'm sure you will..”
That's your hope and baby.
Huh, in the end, this guy doesn't even know what's causing him to be so upset.?
I said firmly.
“This time, you have to do the same for one person..”
“but…….”
But what is but.
“Do you want to leave everything here??”
Sometimes the most direct expression is the most effective..
If we all die anyway, he won't be able to protect the wizard alone..
“…what should i do?”
If you ask me that, nothing really changes..
I just wanted to remind you of my resolve before the battle begins..
“Protect the wizard. Even if it means risking your life,.”
“…Of course.”
The voice has become quite trustworthy..
So now this bastard is done.
Is there only one preparation left?.
“Let's move to the outer wall. It would be better for us to have some cover..”
I led the group to the outer wall with an absurd excuse..
Actually, it would have been best to leave everything here and go alone quickly.…….
If that guy pops out in the meantime, it will be game over..
“Please wait here for a moment. I'm going to take a look around the area..”
“Scattering away is not a good choice!”
The dwarf shouted something, but I pretended not to hear and ran towards the fountain I had noticed earlier..
In order to obtain that item that I had no choice but to pass by earlier because I didn't want to stand out..
Quang! Busssss.
A fountain full of dry pebbles.
After breaking the statue in the middle, I searched through the fragments and pulled out a small box..
「The character obtained [Tear of the Goddess].」
I checked and the contents matched the game.…….
Other good news continued one after another..
“This is…….”
When I returned after putting the supplies in the grooves of my boots, Raven came to her senses..
“vampire! What happened to the vampires??”
“Somehow I succeeded in escaping. But it will appear after the sun sets.”
“okay.”
She frowned, wondering if the pain was still there..
This time it's my turn to ask..
“What on earth happened to me??”
Raven took a sip of the potion that the carrier handed her like bottled water and answered in a half-dead voice..
“Okay, it’s too early to be sure, but… Ah, judging by the symptoms, it’s bitter… There is a high possibility that it is ‘sharing the pain’..”
‘‘Sharing the pain’.
If that's true, then it's a good thing.
‘Nightflaa’ with this skill had the lowest basic stats among grade 8 monsters..
If the essence he had was level 6, or even level 7, the difficulty level would have risen much higher..
“Ah… Unfortunately, just as I was about to use the technique once more, there was a backlash.…….”
Raven clutched her chest collar with a pained expression..
When I saw that, I felt quite sad too..
It seems like it will take some time for me to function again..
“How long does it take to recover?”
“Ugh, a full recovery is impossible. The circuit is completely twisted..”
“A rough estimate is fine, so speak in numbers..”
“20minute? At that level, you will recover enough to use level 7 attack spells up to 5 times..”
Five fire baptism-level magic spells..
This is a really big problem.
“Do you know of any other solar magic??”
“Did you know that it is very rude to ask a wizard what spells he has??’
Of course, I know based on the world view..
But now I am the ultimate rude barbarian, with a culture of speaking informally to everyone except the king..
Raven responded with a look that asked, "What's the matter?" and responded with a sigh..
“You can use black dot sphere.”
“It's a black spot…….”
The basic form is similar to a fireball, but it is a level 6 attack spell that uses solar attributes instead of fire..
How can I really rub this??
“Is it possible to use the 'Attribute Enhancement' spell on the black point sphere??”
“…10What if I gather a few more minutes of horsepower?.”
“That's it then. I will do my best to hold on until then. So don't just help out and save your mana..”
“Yes, I will... Wait, but why is Mr. Yandel the leader??”
Is it because he's a wizard? know how things are working around.
The dwarf came along as soon as I set the mood..
“So is there anyone who would do anything differently??”
She glanced at the carrier, Einar, and the dwarf in that order, then lowered her head in understanding..
“That's definitely... Yes, that's right.”
“Haha! I'm sorry! What can I do if I was born like this??”
The dwarf scratches the back of his thick neck as if he is embarrassed. And Einar, seeing this, wants everything at this time. She joins the conversation..
“Are you acknowledging that barbarians are better than dwarves?!”
“That's not it! However, as the barbarian girl said, this friend here is just special. For a moment I could feel it.”
“Special……?”
“Even though it looks like this, I am confident in my eyes when looking at people..”
Raven looked curious as to what happened while she was passed out, but unfortunately she couldn't waste her precious time on that..
“Murad, how many essences do you have??”
“There are four.”
“The type is?”
I answered the question as briefly and concisely as possible and figured out the power of the dwarf..
Among the essences he had, there was no key card that could turn the game around.…….
Still, I have some strategy in mind..
However, if I had to point out one thing that was disappointing, it would be that there was not enough time to share the strategy with the team members..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
A cool breeze passes by, and the shadows covering the ground become even thicker..
There are 30 minutes left until the supplies are ready..
「It's night.」
There is no place to retreat now.
I just have to hold on somehow.
