Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 394
394angry captain barbarian (4)
The reason I decided to fight four at once is simple..
1:1 Even if you take down all four in a tournament, they won't be convinced..
I decided this was the only way to convince everyone..
Throwing food in front of your eyes that you can't digest without swallowing it..
“Oh, let me tell you in advance, if I lose, I will give up my position as leader..”
A chance to knock one competitor off the stage.
“But why is no one saying anything? Is it because the four of us are not confident that we can win even if we fight together??”
As provocation was added, the other side also began to react..
“I agree.”
“what? No matter what, we would do that to just one person.—”
“Is there any reason to object when you say you will leave on your own??”
“What Mr. Akuraba said is correct..”
Public opinion was created when the vice-captain also joined in on the dwarf woman's words..
At this, the knight nodded with an expression of disapproval, and the paladin also remained silent and expressed his approval..
They probably know it too.
The situation may be a bit funny to tell to others, but it is an opportunity to easily take down one competitor..
“It was called Lehen Schuitz.?”
“however?”
“I have to keep the promise I made a little while ago..”
“Of course. If I lose, I will appoint one of you as captain without a word. but—”
“In the opposite case, you would also like to hear a definite answer, right? great. If you beat us all, you'll get the job you want.”
Afterwards, I asked for confirmation from the other three besides Akuraba, and the verbal contract was concluded in an instant..
It wasn't left in writing, but since there is a notary who is more reliable than anything else, you can stop worrying..
“Well, that's it. Marquis, is there a suitable place??”
“Of course.”
The Marquis seemed not to be worried about me and willingly gave us the parade grounds of the mansion..
Probably not because you trust me 100%..
It's just that, even if I failed because of my recklessness, they probably decided that they could benefit from it..
For example, they are interfering in everything because of this failure..
“Okay, I guess I'll be waiting outside then..”
After arriving at the parade ground, I put on my equipment..
「The character wears a large battle shield made of adamantium..」
「Overall item level increases by +1,750.」
Starting with the shield I returned from the past and purchased again for a large sum of money..
「The character wears a steel breastplate.」
「Overall item level increases by +150.」
「The character wears steel gaiters.」
「Overall item level increases by +75.」
「The character is wearing war boots.」
「Overall item level increases by +45.」
At that time, I had no choice but to buy cheap equipment because I didn't have money. Huh, now that I have money, I should change everything to adamantium or something..
「The character is no. Equipped with 87 Crowl's Demon Crusher.」
「Overall item level increases by +4,800.」
Soon, he came out to the parade ground with his hammer fully equipped, and it wasn't long before four men and women who had completed their preparations appeared one by one..
“Isn't it strange? Now this is more comfortable than cloth clothes..”
“Doesn’t that mean your body is in tune? Because I wear this more often than my everyday clothes..”
Equipment that looks expensive at first glance.
However, no matter how well you take care of it, worn parts and fraying marks on the joints are noticeable..
I looked at their equipment..
‘What the heck, I came wearing all the accessories that no one has seen before..’
Yes, even though everyone came dressed in suits, I thought they would have brought their equipment from subspace..
Otherwise you can't be called an explorer..
“But, over there... It's not what I expected.”
“He said he was a blood spirit man, but didn't she buy him armor??”
“Lehen Schuitz, are you really planning on fighting in that gear??”
Four men and women making strange expressions while looking at the ordinary steel equipment I wore..
The look in his eyes was closer to a feeling of unfamiliarity than contempt..
Well, I guess they didn't expect that I, who was here on the recommendation of a later writer, would be this low-level..
“No problem.”
What's the big deal about steel armor??
It is not a very significant variable in this battle..
Well, honestly, I was a little embarrassed to be receiving attention like that, so I felt like my PTSD would relapse.…….
If you think about it, this is not a big problem..
“Come on, come on!.”
Common sense tells us that the one with the smashed head looks more embarrassed.?
***
There is a saying that a master's fight is decided in a split second..
Of course I don't agree with that..
I don't know if I'm in the middle of a life-or-death battle between extreme damage swordsmen, but aren't I a true tank?.
My true value is revealed when I go to a long game..
but…….
At least at the beginning, it wasn't much different from the fight between experts I imagined..
“…….”
A conversation that suddenly disappeared.
distance from each other.
Eyelids with reduced closing cycle.
As our gazes cross, a heavy tension builds..
Muscles learned through numerous battles contract to produce optimal force at any moment, and beads of sweat gradually form on the hand holding the weapon..
and…….
Sigh.
Sensitivity to respond sensitively even to small movements.
This is one of the reasons why many-to-one battles are difficult..
There's so much to pay attention to.
Yeah, so I'd rather…….
“How long are you going to be like that??”
When you ask a question, the moment the other person is about to answer.
Using that one breath as an opportunity, kick off the ground and dash forward..
The first target was the knight who stood in front most aggressively..
“……!”
The guy forced to swallow his breath and narrowed his eyes..
It seems like his pride was hurt that he was the first target.…….
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The auror of a skilled knight who has reached the peak instantly wraps around his blade and swings towards me..
Whether in a labyrinth or a city, the auror would have cut up countless heavy armored warriors like tofu..
「The character casted [Iron Fortress].」
「[The effect of [Evolved Shell] increases by 1.5 times..」
I raised my shield and blocked it..
Kakak!
The knight looks embarrassed when his sword bounces away instead of being cut like usual..
However, as a soldier trained in actual combat, the time was extremely short..
Hwii profit-!
The guy uses the force of the bounce to spin in the air and swing the sword again..
This time, the hitting area is the lower part that is difficult to block with a shield..
To be exact, it was the calf area where the skin was covered with steel gaiters..
‘Did you think adamantium was the problem??’
It was a very quick decision to make in the moment of one battle..
The problem is, it's not the right answer..
Kakak!
Are you ignoring it because it’s made of steel?.
Since my opponent was already using a lot of movement and showing a lot of gaps, I kicked him in the chin with my foot..
Kwaang-!
A body floating in the air due to recoil.
Just the right angle to hit with a hammer—
「Jun Arshen casted [Guardian Light].」
Nimiral.
Kwaaaaang-!
Just in time, the divine spell cast spread out translucently above the knight's head, blocking my hammer blow..
And the knight retreats in that gap..
“how……?”
Even in a situation where he was struggling to save his life, he seemed to be even more preoccupied with one question..
Anyway, how come all the knights are the same??
‘……Wouldn't it be surprising to block aurors with iron armor??’
Anyway, this is why there is a saying that it is more important to be a luxury product than to wear a luxury product..
“No matter how you look at it, the equipment itself is ordinary..”
“If so, that strange phenomenon must occur in humans..”
That's correct.
[Not only is physical resistance added to the equipment as a plus alpha through [Unification], but [Evolved Shell] and [Iron Leather] are also applied..
Well, while the adamantium shield didn't have a single scratch, the iron armor had deep scratches..
“I don't know what kind of essence they consumed, but it doesn't seem like they were just trying to block the Aurors..”
Akuraba and the vice-captain quickly exchanged opinions while looking at me from the rear, which was relatively far from the battlefield..
“I have a few guesses. I don't know why that applies to weapons. Kala-kun, let me attack you with an arrow.?”
Following Akuraba's instructions, the vice-captain, dressed in dragon skin armor, strings his bow..
By no means have you figured out your sword resistance already??
「James Kala cast [Piercing Light].」
As soon as the light gathered on the arrowhead, I put myself inside the shield and defended myself..
Well, if you see it with your own eyes and block it, it's already too late..
Hwiyung-!
A light arrow fired with a short flash of sound..
There was no damage because I blocked it well with my shield in time..
but…….
“There's an arrowhead stuck in it..”
An arrowhead dug deep into an adamantium shield that didn't even have a scratch on the aura..
Soon Akuraba shouted and shared the information..
“The sword doesn't work on that guy..”
Huh, if this continues, I'll run out of money.—
Kwaang-!
After pushing the knight away earlier, the paladin blocked my path as I continued to rush forward and close the distance..
Its main weapons are a huge shield and a mace..
Yeah, that combination is fundamental for a tank..
Kwaaaaang-!
A paladin who tried to block me by creating a wall with a shield rather than using a weapon..
Jiei profit.
However, if your basic strength is not high, your feet will drag on the ground as soon as you collide and you will be pushed back..
Well, unfortunately I didn't go far..
「Jun Arshen casted [Holy Opening].」
「Jun Arshen cast [Rising Power].」
「Jun Arshen cast [Blessing of the Sun].」
As a paladin, synonymous with buffs and self-healing tanks, he used various holy spells in succession, and a white glow burst out from his body..
and…….
“It's amazing power.”
Before I knew it, he had stopped and was not being pushed away at all and was praising me..
Write it, hurt your pride.
Still, I guess it's okay since I've reached the desired distance.?
「The character casted [Transcendence].」
「Character casted [Eye of the Storm].」
My own grab machine for maximum efficiency in PVP.
The maximum distance is 20m, but the reason for getting this close is simple..
The shorter the distance, the more difficult it is to react.?
Hehehey profit-!
A strong gust of wind blooms in the calm air..
“Tsk……!”
The target I designated was the vice-captain of the rear division..
Well, in a many-to-one battle, it is standard to attack the rearguard first.…….
‘If you wear armor like that, you'll want to rip it off..’
Drake leather has significant anti-magic power correction, but is vulnerable to physical power..
Simply put, it means that even if you hit just one, you will be in a near-death state..
「The character casted [Giant].」
「The character's physique increases, and the threat value and body value increase in proportion to the size..」
Using the skills I had saved so far, I pushed the paladin away with my increased strength..
and…….
Tadat.
Jump towards the archer flying in the gust of wind..
[[Giant] and with his increased reach, he hits the hammer before the archer can react..
「Jun Arshen casted [Guardian Light].」
Well, the paladin who missed me used the holy spell that saved the knight earlier, but…….
「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..」
The result was bound to be different from before..
Well, it was just an average hit earlier.?
「The character casted [Swing].」
「The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength..」
My only attack skill [Swinging]].
Kwazisig-!
As soon as the hammer touched the barrier, it shattered like a glass window..
Kwasik-!
The vice-captain fell limp on the floor, blood spurting from his shattered forehead..
One knight, one tank.
And even with the 9th floor explorer Akuraba, the unfortunate incident could not be prevented..
“…….”
In uncomfortable silence, I quietly counted the numbers..
“For now, just one.”
There are three left.
***
four senior explorers.
Well, one of them is a knight, so should I leave him out??
‘It will be real from now on.’
Against four strong fighters, I easily eliminated one, but instead of letting down my guard, I steeled myself..
Because I know this is purely an early advantage..
I heard a lot about them from the Marquis, but they knew very little about me..
“…….”
In that sense, the situation is a bit odd..
Although not killed instantly, the vice-captain was seriously injured and lost consciousness..
At the dinner party earlier, the guy who preached that ‘information’ is the most important is the first to be kicked out due to lack of information..
‘Actually, it's a bit hard to say he was kicked out at all..’
[[Dungeon & Stone] is a worldview in which it is possible to be revived if you do not die..
「Jun Arshen cast [Hand of Regeneration].」
The pure white radiance leaking from the paladin's body flows into the unconscious vice-captain's body..
There is no way Shield Baba has a canceling ability, so it is already planned that he will eventually recover and come to his senses someday..
but…….
‘No short term war.’
I quickly gave up the idea of giving everything I had and finishing this fight before I recovered..
I never wanted such an overwhelming victory in the first place..
That's right, no matter how well you mix things up, does it make sense to destroy four top-tier explorers by yourself?.
Everything requires a price.
It's the only truth in this cold world.
so that…….
“Wow wow—!!!”
Running away swinging a hammer.
Kwaang.
The paladin blocked me..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
At that moment, someone flies up from behind and brandishes a weapon..
This is the knight who fell helplessly earlier..
When did they swap weapons? He is holding a blunt weapon instead of a sword..
It's a bit funny that the knight uses a normal weapon instead of an auror, though.…….
This may also be a characteristic of top-tier talent..
Taking appropriate action depending on the situation.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The blunt object that was struck digs into my shoulder..
The physical impact itself is not that severe..
However, the moment it hits you, the heat rises from your bones..
It was obvious what the reason was..
‘Are you carrying something like that as a swap weapon??’
No. 761 Roam's Furnace Hammer.
It was a triple number item..
The effect is to add additional fire penetration damage in proportion to physical power..
Still, thanks to the fire resistance, it was still worth holding on..
“Wow wow-!”
Let out a war cry and activate [Wild Eruption].
Using the temporarily increased body count, he kicked the paladin once more and pushed him away.—
‘What is it, why isn’t it pushed?.’
[My brain, which had been pickled by devoting my 20s to [Dungeon & Stone], found questions and answers at the same time..
「Jun Arshen casted [Descent of the Eucharist].」
Yeah, you've already activated that too..
‘It's not easy either.’
It looks like these guys have completely let down their guard after one person gets hit..
From now on, it will be difficult to see a strength advantage against Paladins for a while.…….
「Titana Akurabaga [No. 1911 Fabler's broken pocket watch] was used..」
The dwarf woman who was watching the situation also participated in the battle in earnest..
For reference, this lady is an offensive psychic..
A position that is as efficient as a warrior for dwarves who use number items as a must..
「5Cooldown is removed for 1 minute.」
As an example, that watch is originally an item that only ends up being reduced by 70% unless you are a dwarf..
9Speaking of floors, you can say that there are all core items other than this..
So, what did this lady's main machine say??
「Titana Akurava casted [Vampiric Awl].」
Oh, that's right, it was this.
It consumes little MP, deals decent damage, and has the characteristic of absorbing MP. However, it is a low-rated level 2 skill due to its cooldown..
Hwiii profit-!
A huge awl flies towards me.
Normally, it would be best to avoid it, but there was a paladin and a knight on either side of me..
Kwaaang-!
So I just blocked it with my shield..
Even though he was a psychic, these skills were judged as physical damage..
My arms are a little sore, but it’s not like I can’t handle it..
The problem is that the side is empty to block this..
As soon as a gap appeared, a paladin and a knight struck me with blunt weapons..
Kwaaang-!
As soon as Hana was hit, my whole body felt like it was on fire..
Kwaaang—!
In one case, even though it just passed through physical resistance, the damage was stuck to the bone. Well, if it’s [Advent of the Holy Body], your strength will be twice as high as mine now..
‘Okay, let's just give up on defense..’
I finished my judgment quickly..
In any case, even if you block one attack, you get hit twice..
It would be better to get three hits or even one hit..
In addition, thanks to the 7th level imprinting, natural regeneration is now quite good..
Kwaaaaang-!
Blocks large attacks with a shield and swings a hammer..
The remaining three must have thought this was a threat, too, so they opened up unused skills and pushed me..
And in the meantime.
“When you wake up, grab your bow first.!”
The vice-captain also received healing and returned to battle..
Kwaaaaang-!
The shield was better, but the steel armor, which had low basic durability, was damaged in various places..
Hwii profit-!
Puuk!
As arrows penetrate those areas, the number of injuries increases..
Wow!-!
I got hit so hard by the furnace hammer that what seemed bearable at first is now so hot it feels like it's going to fall apart..
Kwaaang-!
The paladin's mace feels like my bones are breaking into pieces every time I get hit..
Oh, did it actually break into pieces and play in real time??
Well, I'm sure it was..
but…….
“I'm smiling?”
The more I laughed.
Well, I expected it to be this difficult..
Fuuuuut-!
After being hit with a hammer earlier, he bit his tongue, causing the blood in his mouth to gush out like a fountain..
It's a shame that acid blood no longer comes out..
Still, the view is blocked.?
“…monster.”
“I must admit, you are definitely stronger than me..”
After fighting like that for a while, the driver said something..
“However, even for you, it would be impossible to deal with all four at once. Just give up.”
what.
I see them panting from exhaustion too..
Still, I have quite a bit of MP left.?
「The character casted [Soul Dive].」
「Soul power is regenerated in proportion to the soul power consumed..」
MP that was almost at the bottom is completely filled..
The battle continued like that, and how much longer had passed since then?.
“why… It doesn't fall down?”
The driver who spoke smugly and suggested that we give up asked that question out loud..
“you are… It's like drinking water from a source mentioned in the Bible..”
As if responding to this, the paladin also muttered something..
“Stop it. Don't you know you can't win?”
The dwarf lady said as if she was tired of my stubbornness..
“I'm going to pretend there was no promise, so how about we stop at this point??”
The archer seemed to hope that this tiresome battle would end soon..
but…….
“every… Suddenly the words got longer.”
The more they tried to convince me, the more I focused on one thing.
“Was I afraid of losing, or did I feel anxious??”
what i can do.
what i have to do now.
and…….
“Please, fall down.!”
The best thing I've ever done.
「Titana Akurava casted [Vampiric Awl].」
「James Kala cast [Piercing Light].」
「Jun Arshen cast [Hand of Regeneration].」
I held on and held on and held on until the moment I had been waiting for finally arrived..
「The skill is canceled due to the user's lack of soul power..」
「The skill is canceled due to the user's lack of soul power..」
「The skill is canceled due to the user's lack of divine power..」
In the end, the last one standing is stronger..
