Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 380
380mad atlante (3)
underground island atlanta.
Located in Grand Rock in the far eastern seas, the second core essence following [Giantization] is found..
It is not very difficult to get to this place..
Ships capable of sailing to Grand Rock.
It doesn't matter if it's magic, spirit, or skill, the ability to freely dive into the deep sea..
And most importantly, the persistence to continue repetitive labor..
If you have these three things, it is not very difficult to visit the underground island of Atlanta..
‘From now on, it's hard work..’
After entering Grand Rock, we carefully guided the boat and wandered around the surrounding area, avoiding the reefs..
This is because there is something you must do first to get to the hidden underwater island under the Far Eastern Sea.…….
“Can you tell me where the destination is?……?”
As I was wandering around, the navigator couldn't let go of his curiosity and asked, and I thought for a while before answering..
I decided that there was no need to hide it now..
“yes? It's a red rock island.……?”
The navigator tilted his head after hearing my answer..
“Yeah, it's probably big enough for about 20 people to climb up there..”
Each time the labyrinth is opened, three red rock islands are randomly generated in Grand Rock. And only when the unlocking event on all three rock islands is completed will the hidden underground island be revealed..
“…All right.”
Surprisingly, the navigator did not question my instructions..
“You were trying to go there..”
Now it looks like he knew something about the Underground Island event..
Surprisingly, there were a lot of people who didn't know, but it looks like he had quite a long career as a navigator..
“Then, we will focus on the search and plan our route as efficiently as possible..”
“Ah, I'll leave that part to you..”
The navigator, who found out my goal, steered the ship in a more proactive manner than before, and on the fourth day, he found the rocky island he had been looking for..
Cheolpuk.
Flat rock island submerged in water up to ankles.
When I went to the center of the island and checked the cracks inside, I found eggs the size of ostrich eggs laid out neatly..
“Is it Al? Now what can I do with this??”
Erwen, who was right next to me, asked in a curious voice, and I chuckled..
[All the hidden elements of [Dungeon & Stone] are like that..
Kwasik-!
Just destroy anything that looks suspicious..
That's what exploration is.?
***
「The character destroyed the Mermal's nest.」
***
How long has it been since all the eggs were destroyed?.
“The response is coming slowly..”
“yes?”
“ready for battle!”
As soon as I shouted, sea monsters began to appear from underneath the rocky island..
Hmm, is it a bit ambiguous to call it a sea monster??
Cheolpuk.
I looked up and down at the monster glaring at us with my trident in hand..
First of all, it walks on two legs and has human-like proportions..
However, the texture of the blue skin was reminiscent of scales, and the shiny skin was full of glowing tattoos..
In addition, important parts of the body were covered with cloth, and each hair style had its own unique style, allowing comparison with monsters that all looked the same..
Well, the intelligence wasn't much different from that of monsters..
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!]
A ferocious howling that cannot be felt at all by the language system..
At the same time, the guys surrounding us from all sides attacked us all at once..
and…….
「You have killed a Mermal. EXP +3」
「Killed a Mermal Warrior. EXP +3」
「Killed a Mermal Archer. EXP +3」
「You have killed the Mermal Shaman. EXP +3」
「Defeated the Mermal Grand Warrior. EXP +4」
As the classes were diverse, new experience points came in..
The battle difficulty itself was not that high..
Although it is an event where hundreds of monsters attack, the average rating is not even 6..
Kwasik, Kwasik, Kwasik-!
[By increasing the threat level with [Giant] and attracting most of the aggro, the hunt ended smoothly without anyone getting hurt..
But was this appearance impressive??
“I can't believe they did something like that against these monsters... … . It was natural for that to happen..”
The wizard muttered in frustration, and the navigator nodded as if he completely sympathized..
Well, no matter how early you regret it, it is too late..
“Wizard, if you have time to play, collect magic stones..”
“…That's right.”
After the battle, the wizard was used to collect the magic stones that had fallen everywhere..
“The essence came out, what should I do with it??”
“Leave it alone. Even if you sell it, you won’t make much profit..”
“…….”
Mermal's Essence appeared, but I didn't bother to take it..
There is a wizard, and there is a test tube that this wizard carries around, but I must say that it is not cost-effective.?
I couldn't waste my only two test tubes on this.—
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
what.
Why is the ground suddenly shaking?.
“mister?”
“wait for a sec.”
As we were about to get back on the boat, we waited for a while and observed the situation. The tremors transmitted through the sea surface continued for about a minute and then stopped as if nothing had happened..
However, I thought I knew the cause of this phenomenon.
「An underwater city appears somewhere deep in the ocean..」
Who would have thought that someone would have discovered another rocky island?.
If you do this, you won't have to waste time looking for two more.?
“Should I call this luck?…….”
I couldn't pinpoint the current situation..
It's good that the labor time has been reduced, but the fact that the events on the other two islands have ended means only one thing..
There is a competitor somewhere aiming for the underground island..
Of course, it's not 100% certain yet..
However, it is possible that he just missed the event and went somewhere else while passing by..
but…….
‘You'll find out later.’
We decided to consider this issue again later..
Anyway, I have no intention of changing my plans just because there is a competitor..
‘Now, what should the members do?…….’
I thought about it one last time and came to the conclusion that it would be best to take everyone with me..
If you get unedible purified water, you have to put it in a test tube..
First of all, you must take the wizard with you..
And this also applies to Erwen, who solves the problem of underwater breathing, and Amelia, who needs to find the underwater island..
Well, you don't need a navigator.…….
‘I'm anxious about leaving him alone..’
“Wizard, he said he could use diving magic.?”
“That's right…….”
“How long can it last?”
“You can tell me assuming how many people you wrote it to.?”
“Three including you.”
Erwen and I's water pressure and breathing problems are solved with [Spiritualization], so all we have to do is cover the three of us with magic..
Although Amelia's breathing problem can be solved with the water spirit, it is better to reduce resource consumption as much as possible to maintain [Spiritualization]..
“If you don't use any other magic, up to 4 hours will be possible..”
“It's shorter than expected, but that should be enough. Everyone, get ready. We'll all go down together.”
“…….”
When I gave my instructions, the navigator and wizard swallowed their saliva and nodded..
Well, it's useless to hoard.
You won't have to fight anyway..
with a plop.
After getting ready, I jumped into the water first..
Since the [Spirit Transformation] link with Erwen, who was following right behind me, had been completed, there was no feeling of being stuffy in the water..
The visibility is as comfortable as wearing goggles..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Without any particular need for swimming, the body of the barbarian, which has the property of sinking in water, quickly sank to the bottom of the sea..
I looked up and saw Amelia coming down behind me..
It looks like they have tied the rope around the waist of the navigator and the wizard and are holding it like reins..
Oh, by the way, heavy steel shackles were tied to the navigator's feet..
Cooung-!
10After sinking to the bottom of the sea for more than a minute, my feet hit the ground with a heavy noise. She waited a little while, and soon Amelia and her group also arrived..
Click.
Since it was so dark that virtually nothing could be seen, I first activated the light gem and inserted it into the groove of the helmet..
Ah, the reason I didn't turn it on earlier is simple..
If you dive with the light on, monsters will attack you even while you're falling..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Light spreads only in a very narrow range compared to on the ground..
Whirring, whirring.
Just because I didn't have a breathing problem didn't mean I could speak out loud, so I waved my hand and made a gesture to leave quickly..
The dark depths of the sea where even a compass does not work.
However, finding the destination was not very difficult..
That's because our team has a guide, Amelia..
「Defeated the Deep Diver. EXP +4」
「Killed a seaworm. EXP +3」
「Killed Shell Armor. EXP +4」
「Killed a Madclopter. EXP +5」
「Defeated Marimore…….」
After moving for about two hours, killing various sea monsters that flocked at the sight of the light, the destination appeared..
Submerged, corroded and destroyed ruins.
As I stepped into it, the pillars that had still maintained their shape radiated light, illuminating the surroundings..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…….
The huge temple in the center emerged from the darkness..
[and…….]
Erwen, the only one in the group who could communicate freely, let out an exclamation..
Actually, I felt the same way, only I couldn't make a sound..
‘2It's not D, but it's really majestic when you see it in person..’
It really felt like I was exploring for the first time in a long time. If I had arrived here by chance without knowing the game information, I would have felt a lot more excitement..
Whirring, whirring.
After stopping to admire the sight of the temple in the distance, we passed the empty ruins and climbed the stairs to enter the temple..
and…….
[uh……?]
A narrow room located at the top of a pyramid-shaped temple..
Erwen widened his eyes in wonder..
[It's a portal.……?]
Oh, didn't I tell you?
From the beginning, I expected that Amelia, the guide, would have known to some extent from the beginning..
Since I couldn't answer anyway, I just shrugged and walked into the portal..
「The character has entered Atlante.」
Please, I hope the essence comes out at once..
***
underground island atlanta.
A hidden island that can be found by completing the event on the rocky island and diving into the deep sea..
Unlike regular islands, it passes through portals, but that doesn't mean this island is a 'rift'..
Because the most important guardian does not appear.
The drop rate is the same as outside..
Because there is no guardian, no crack stones or number items appear..
So I usually called these places hidden fields..
Representative examples include 'Larkaz's Labyrinth', where you first encounter the dragon slayer, and 'The Other Side', where you enter using the mirror obtained by killing Mila Roden on the 5th floor..
「Field Effect - Atlante is applied.」
「The status abnormality [Hyperventilation] is granted..」
「Unaffected by water, but all resource consumption is doubled.」
「Status abnormality [Challenger] is given.」
「When battle breaks out, you can't run away..」
As is usual with special fields like this, a change came as soon as I entered..
A red aura flickers on the ground where your feet touch..
‘This must be the ‘Challenger’ effect.…….’
‘In the case of 'hyperventilation', there will be no effect, but it will already be working..
As proof, the words are coming out properly now..
“Now you can solve [Spiritualization].”
Huh, I guess I'll buy it now.
I felt like I was going to die of frustration trying to communicate all by hand..
[yes? but…….]
Erwen, who was speechless, flinched..
[uh? Man, I'm talking underwater now.?]
“So, didn't you say it? You can release it.”
[It's an amazing place…….]
Soon, Erwen released [Spiritualization], and the wizard glanced at me and lifted the diving spell..
“It's a very unfamiliar feeling. It definitely feels like I'm in the water, but I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Moving is no different from outside..”
As always, Amelia started checking her condition as soon as the environment changed..
“This is Atlanta, the underground island…….”
“6I've been on this floor for over 10 years, but this is my first time here in person.…….”
The wizard and the navigator also expressed their impressions in somewhat exalted voices..
However, I guess I became a little anxious later on.?
“I… So what do we do now? It won't help you in battle.…….”
The navigator carefully asked my opinion, and I smiled and gave instructions..
“All four of you, wait here and follow me slowly in 5 minutes..”
“…yes?”
The navigator tilted his head as if he had heard wrong, and the wizard just frowned..
and…….
“Schuitz, you must have said that even level 3 monsters appear here.?”
“yes. that's right. No matter how old you are, you can't do it alone…….”
Amelia and Erwen expressed concern..
There was nothing particularly strange about this reaction..
Because the difficulty level of Subterranean Island is at the highest level even on the 6th floor..
Since the number of monsters is enormous, it is common to attack in expedition units..
but…….
“Okay, listen to me. When did you see me do something dangerous??”
“……yes.”
“I think it would be difficult to find an enemy that wasn't there..”
……Well, it makes people feel embarrassed..
“Anyway, this means there is no need to worry. Just because you can breathe and talk doesn't mean it's not under the sea..”
“but… I guess that's it too.”
“If there is any danger, please call me right away! Okay?”
After I presented a reasonable justification, Erwen and Amelia let me go without saying anything more..
Okay, then the persuasion is over..
plod, trudge.
I slowly walked down the stairs from where the portal was located..
And the moment you step on the last stairs.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Dozens of red eye lights flashed in the darkness where the Light Gem's light could not reach..
The monster that appears at the beginning of Atlantis was the Sea God Stone..
For reference, the grade is 5.
It was a tower-type monster that could not move from a designated location, with a high level of physical resistance and slow but powerful long-distance one-hit damage.…….
plod.
I stopped in the middle of it..
There was no need to take out a weapon..
Because this is much more effective than hitting it directly..
「Reflects 30% of damage received back to the enemy..」
「Reflects 30% of damage received back to the enemy..」
「Reflects 30% of damage received back to the enemy..」
「The natural regeneration value has reached its maximum due to the passive skill [Origin]..」
「powerful luck.」
「Reflects 150% of damage received back to the enemy..」
[Wow-!!]
「You have defeated the Sea God Stone. EXP +5」
Now, shall we try eating me??
