Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 383

383Woe we (2)

“mister!!”

I had just finished checking the water purification when Erwen appeared from afar. The plan was for Erwen to lead the remaining people and bring them in..

I guess I came because I was worried because he didn't come for a long time.…….

Still, I told you to wait quietly until I come back..

“Are you finished? There are no injuries anywhere.?”

Erwen quickly arrived in front of me and looked my body up and down as if she was worried..

Amelia had noticed that she was staying away from the wizard and the navigator at a distance where they could not hear our conversation..

But, why?.

‘It looks like you really want to save it as much as possible..’

For some reason, I can feel that kind of psychology in Amelia's actions..

Sometimes ignorance is medicine?

If he finds out too much about us, his chances of returning alive will be lower..

I'm being careful not to listen at all..

He probably realized that that was why I left him behind from a distance and made him follow me..

‘Anyway, looking at their expressions, it seems like they have no idea that Baekho Lee or the Destructionist came and went..’

Fortunately, they were aware of their approach, so it didn't seem like they had disobeyed my instructions to wait..

No, in times like this, I should be glad I broke it.?

If a fight were to break out, the side that had at least one more comrade would have a better chance of winning. Because of the field effect ‘Challenger’, it is impossible to run away even if a battle breaks out..

Now, Erwen and Amelia are no longer people who must be protected unconditionally like their former colleagues..

It's just the power to do one person's job at any time and in any situation..

“however… On the way here, I felt a magical energy, what was it??”

Erwen cautiously asks whether he was aware of the multi-teleportation magic..

I thought for a moment and looked around..

“Well, I'm not sure about that..”

“is that so? but… I think I heard that special magic waves occur periodically in cracks and other places..”

As expected, Erwen understood without any questions..

Since it was a special field with little known information, you might have thought that might be the case. Or, you absolutely believed that I had no reason to lie..

Maybe that's why I feel a little confused..

but…….

‘Still, this is better.’

The Annihilator is the one who killed Erwen's older sister, Daria..

Rather than providing assists like a clown, he was actually directly involved in the death. But if I'm going to talk about Lee Baek-ho, I inevitably have to talk about meeting a destruction scholar.…….

There is no need to shake up the mentality that is normalizing at best..

‘There is no reason to talk about Baekho Lee if we are going to leave out the scholars of destruction..’

After chatting with Erwen for a few more words, Amelia joined the navigator and the wizard..

And I asked without the subject..

“Schuitz, did you get what you wanted??”

“Yeah, lucky me..”

Let's wrap this up for now and talk about the transaction later..

***

After the conversation ended, we started exploring again..

Well, you couldn't stop by anywhere else because you had to go in a straight line..

Other areas will be crowded with monsters..

Among them, there are monsters that have not been slain yet, and there are also ones that have essences that can be sold at a very high price..

thus…….

plod.

Take the first step and move forward.

“Then I'll go first, so follow me from behind..”

For reference, the hunting method was the same as before..

When I clear the path and kill all the monsters, they follow me from behind and collect the magic stones..

but…….

‘I guess I'll have to do some experimenting this time..’

Since I got a new water purifier, I plan to do a performance test this time as well..

My body has not yet adapted to the increased stats..

‘I'm sure it's level 3, but I can clearly feel the stat increase..’

The sense of heterogeneity was even more severe because the essence of the deep sea giant also contained unique stats..

[deep sea giant]

Strength +55, Physical Resistance +35, Natural Regeneration +35, Anti-Magic Power +35, Dark Resistance +55, Endurance +40, Adaptability +70

The body values ​​are evenly distributed at exactly 3 levels, and most of them are of high value..

However, it is difficult to say that it has scarcity value..

Although these are good stats, they are easily found in most essences..

Unlike ‘adaptability’ at the end of the stat,.

‘In the game, the effect gradually decreased in proportion to the duration of the debuff..’

In reality, it felt a little different..

Of course, what I said above is definitely applicable, but…….

plod, trudge.

The adaptability value has been activated, making walking in the water a little more comfortable..

From the beginning, it was difficult to say that there were restrictions on movement, but now it can be said that if you don't concentrate, you won't even feel like you're in the water.?

Well, if I had just dived into the sea instead of this place, which has the characteristic of being unaffected by water, it would never have gotten to this level..

‘Now, let’s check the passive as well..’

I used [Giantization] to utilize a passive that I had not properly tested before..

This is because the deep sea giant's passive skill only responds to the 'transformation system' ability..

「The character casted [Giant].」

「The character's physique increases, and threat and physical values ​​increase in proportion to the size..」

[Giantization], which increases the body size by about 1.77 times and increases the ‘threat value’ that helps extinguish monster aggro.].

「The character used the transformation-type ability..」

「[Due to the effect of [Cell of the Beginning], the soul power consumption of the skill is reduced by half, and the highest ability value is increased by 1.5 times..」

[Cell of the Beginning] effect is added here..

For reference, the highest stat in my training method is…….

「Due to the power of the Transcendent, the effect of [Primordial Cell] increases by 1.5 times..」

「The character's strength increases by 2.25 times..」

This is different from the Shield Baba that I often raised..

Since the essence of an ogre was put in the place where a steel giant (grade 4) would have originally been placed, somehow the strength increased rather than the physical resistance..

‘Sigh, if this happens, it will be difficult to break through the 3rd stage of [Adaptive Envelope]..’

Of course, that's just the case right now, but it's not going to be a big problem in the final training stage..

After eating Belarius Essence, you will need to focus your stats on physical resistance..

「Your physique increases in proportion to your strength..」

While I was at it, I switched [Transcendence] to active and used [Giantization]..

Sseuuk.

When I lowered my head to check below, I could clearly see the ceiling of the historic building that I had to look up at earlier..

‘This would be over 6m..’

I'll have to go back and measure it accurately for more details, but that's just what I can see..

Even taking into account the reduced height due to the gachabon essence, the physique is much larger than before..

However, even though his physique had grown so much, his strength level was similar to before using [Transcendence]..

This is because the strength decreased from 2.25 times to 1.5 times..

‘Still, other numbers seem to have risen uniformly, so there won't be any loss.…….’

[The disadvantage of using [Transcendence] actively is not the stats, but the soul power reduction effect..

75%Wow, 50% is a big difference..

‘Well, with the current MP total, the [Giantization] state will remain indefinite with [Transcendence] disabled..’

[In [Dungeon & Stone], the MP regeneration speed is proportional to the total amount of MP. And currently, I am at level 7 and my soul power has been raised here and there, so my total MP is similar to that of most psychics..

‘Are we finally on track?.’

I maintained the [transcendence] state to adapt to the higher standards..

Even though it was under the sea, the air at 6 meters had a taste that made a man's heart flutter..

‘…How big will it become if you delete the gachabon essence??’

It's still early, but I thought about it..

A picture of me using [Giant] with my base height increased from 185 to 225..

I don't know, but wouldn't it be a level where you wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if you wrestled with Liakis, the 3rd layer monarch??

Kwasik, Kwasik, Kwasik-!

I swung the hammer again and again, picturing that future in my head..

That’s because [Transcendence] only applies one skill at a time..

In the first place, the speed is similar whether you catch it with a [Risk] reflex attack or catch it yourself..

「The character casted [Swing].」

Since it regenerates immediately even if you get hit anyway, ignore defense and focus only on swinging the hammer..

「Liu Movidic has been defeated. EXP +6」

Monsters who cannot come to their senses and disappear into light due to the large demon crusher wielded with increased strength levels..

However, when I used [Swing] too much, I could feel the MP increase in real time..

thus…….

「The character casted [Soul Dive].」

I used an active skill.

[Among the seven active skills of the Deep Sea Giant, including [Blade Torrent], [Source of Life], and [Giant's Blood] belonging to the transformation period, it corresponds to the green essence..

This skill is also a bit unusual..

Because there is no MP consumption for active subjects..

No, it should be said exactly the opposite.?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

As soon as I take a deep breath, the empty feeling begins to fill..

「Soul power is regenerated in proportion to the soul power consumed..」

MP recovery without MP consumption.

Instead, this skill has a cooldown..

It was probably about 30 minutes in the game..

It may not seem like a big deal, but it was a very good skill..

You can use it when you're in a hurry, and the time you have to rest while hunting to recover MP is drastically reduced..

‘Above all, it can also be used as a counter to that bastard.…….’

Dragon Slayer, Regal Vagos.

The words he had, the silence of his soul.

With this skill, you can respond to his remarks..

This means that even in a state of soul exhaustion, you can return to your original condition with one skill..

‘So, is the preparation complete?.’

I grinned as I knocked down the heads of the sea monsters coming from all directions..

It was because the resolution I engraved in my heart one day came to me clearly..

[Beat… can you do it?]

The day I woke up in the body of a cold-hearted warrior and felt a deep sense of loss for the first time..

That day, I swallowed my helplessness and made a promise..

Surviving tenaciously.

So someday, when there will be no need for luck.

[We will meet again, Yongin.]

I will definitely go find him.

Kwasik-!

The time has finally come.

***

5th day of underwater island hunting.

I completed hunting an entity that can only provide experience points here. However, from then on, I continued hunting on the underwater island..

There were a lot of islands out there that needed to be conquered, but…….

‘The profit from magic stones is significant..’

Isn’t this a special field that we’ve come to here?.

Most special fields have high levels of difficulty, so the income is good. But in the meantime, for me, hunting here was easier than on the 5th floor..

‘Still, I have no intention of coming back and wasting time looking for the Rock Island event..’

Anyway, as I continued my high-speed hunting, I was able to see quite a few essences, and as a result of being a little more greedy, I was able to capture a grade 4 in one of the two test tubes..

‘It would have been better if there had been a deep sea giant..’

4Although the grade alone is a sufficient achievement, it is still a bit disappointing. Because there is not just one deep sea giant on the Underground Island..

If you just walk around, there is a low probability of encountering them, but none of them spit out their essence..

Actually, this was natural.

Unlike the guy I met in the whirling underwater temple, drop rate corrections are not applied to regular field mobs.—

“Schuitz.”

As I was briefly reviewing the past days, Amelia came and sat next to me..

Just looking at it, it looks like it has something to say..

However, he probably didn't come to tell me to take a little more rest.…….

“The labyrinth closes tomorrow.”

Ah, that's what I came to talk about..

It was a short statement, typical of Amelia, but it was not difficult to understand its inner meaning..

When I first said that, I glanced at the sleeping navigator and wizard..

“What are you going to do??”

A much more direct question than before.

I guess I was frustrated because I just stayed quiet and didn't answer.…….

“wizard kills.”

First of all, this conclusion came very easily..

Because I didn't even think about saving it in the first place..

That’s right, wizards have thick hair..

He is stubborn and arrogant and does not easily forget his grudges..

And above all…….

“Since there is a background called the Magic Tower, it is difficult to return to the city and control it..”

“Right. i get it. then?”

Soon Amelia glanced at the navigator one more time, and I immediately stood up..

and…….

Huh-!

Standing next to the sleeping wizard's bed, he raised his hammer high..

It was something I experienced once before..

When I dozed off and opened my eyes, Hans A, who was my night friend, was doing this on top of me..

Oh, of course, that guy and I are different..

Because it didn't fail.

Kwasik-!

The body of a magician sagging in his sleep, unable to even utter a single word..

“Huh, huh!!”

The navigator must have woken up when he heard the sound and immediately stood up..

and…….

“Open, I will keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life! Well, I'm going to quit being an explorer.!”

The navigator fell flat on his face and lowered his head..

Considering that I was holding a bloody hammer high in my hand, this was a truly bold act..

‘…It's definitely a waste to kill him..’

Soon I saw Amelia.

He didn't say anything, as if he would follow whatever decision I made, but I could see greed deep in his eyes..

thus…….

“Emily.”

“speak.”

“Even if you go back to the city, will you be able to keep an eye on them so they don’t do anything else??”

“You don't have to worry about that part..”

“The basis is?”

“They had already mixed the poison with the meal and administered only one day's worth of antidote..”

It was so calm, but that makes it even more trustworthy..

On the other hand, the navigator, who had no idea that his life was being completely controlled, shrugged his shoulders sharply..

“Hehehe……!”

Watching that scene, I thought about it one more time and then made a decision..

“I said it was Nguyen Rock Robe.?”

“…yes!”

“From now on, listen carefully to what he says. Do you understand??”

“yes! of course!”

A veteran navigator (unpaid) has been added to the team..
