Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 456
456Tuesday Raid (1)
[[Dungeon & Stone] is a farming game..
The main source of fun is strengthening your character by collecting experience points, consuming essence, acquiring equipment, etc..
Normally, you develop your character by drinking essence and receiving experience points to go to the next level..
That’s because experience is only given during the first hunt..
If you do not grow your character with integer, it is impossible to receive the next experience point.…….
‘Somehow, I got to level 7 and never got stuck..’
Of course, this is largely due to the early consumption of grade 7 corpse golem, grade 5 vampire, and orc hero essence..
That alone made it a spec that could be passed on by simply supplying experience points in the lower levels. In the middle part, consuming ogre essence with 'moderate wish' was also great..
Oh, it also helped that the royal family was at war..
Originally, the [Transcendence] of 'Bayon' obtained as a major was an essence that could only be farmed during this period..
‘In that sense, is this the first time growth has been blocked?…….’
Oh, of course, the reason my growth was blocked is not because of my lack of ability. The only way to become stronger is to go up to the 7th floor, but you can't go there because it has turned into a battlefield..
In fact, as long as you strengthen the clan further, it is a spec that will not be difficult to start struggling with in Belarios right away..
thus…….
“Bjorn, how long do we have to wait? The monsters that appear here are too weak and not fun.!”
The main part of this exploration was a low-level raid..
Even thinking about it again, it was the best choice..
You can gain experience points from monsters that you will have to spend time hunting someday, coordinate with your teammates, and even eat essence when it comes out during raids..
Currently, all four of us have one integer space left..
“Just wait patiently. As I said before, the essence that comes out here is what you need..”
The monster you want to hunt now is an essence that can be useful when consumed by Einar. It's good as a graduation essence, but if you drink it right away, it will make you 30% stronger..
“Well, even so…….”
However, Einar seemed unimpressed..
Well, it might be hard to believe that the purified water from the second floor can help you now.—.
“So, isn’t it level 5? Can't we just keep going up and up? Shouldn’t a stronger enemy come out before I can show it to you? How much stronger have I become during this time?!”
ah… That was just the problem..
I focused on chewing the beef jerky with one ear out of my mind..
And how long has it passed??
“Yandel.”
Amelia, who was resting while using her summoned clone to automatically hunt random mobs, called me..
Also, at the same time, Erwen said.
“There are also people approaching.”
“Yes, just like I said, someone is coming this way. The numbers are—.”
“twelve people.”
“…….”
Huh, it makes the listener uncomfortable.…….
Please don't make it a competition like this..
“It will arrive in about 2 minutes..”
“Right.”
After waiting for a while, a team of twelve explorers appeared from the darkness..
Well, I guess I should say clan instead of team.?
2For an explorer I met on the floor, the equipment was pretty good..
“…….”
“…….”
A brief encounter where we explore each other.
Soon, a man who we presumed to be the team leader looked in our direction and spoke first..
“…There must have been a passenger.”
It was a word that made us realize that their goals were the same as ours. Well, the guy we're trying to catch is pretty well known..
As long as the goal is the same, the solution is simple..
“Okay, there are passengers, so you can go..”
The technical term is ‘Jariyo’.’.
“…….”
As we claimed ownership of the hunting ground, the leader of the other side licked his lips and looked around at us..
In the past, as soon as I saw you, I would have become wary..
But now it just didn't matter.
“It's a shame.”
Well, what can you do if you’re disappointed??
“I guess I should consider myself lucky just to have met such a famous person. I hope that Lapdonia will bless you. Baron Yandel.”
They turned their backs and left without saying a word, just like the three teams they had encountered before..
And how much time has passed?
「Your character has killed a sandworm..」
「Your character has killed a sandworm..」
「The character killed a sandworm.…….」
「…….」
After holding on to the sandworms that only appear in certain areas of the rocky desert, the conditions were finally met..
“Oh, the ground shakes.!”
Desert shaking as if there was an earthquake.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
A sand storm blows as if blocking the escape route..
Soon, a huge earthworm rises up from the ground, opening its mouth..
「Deathworm appears.」
5Grade Monster Deathworm.
Its haunts are in the lower levels, and it has the characteristic of always appearing as a high-level variant, so I often put it first when planning my 'experience gain' route..
[Kyaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!]
The guy with only his upper body(?) above the ground let out a creepy roar and looked down at us..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Not to be outdone, Einar shouts and jumps high into the sky..
However, unfortunately, it was one step too late..
「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Power of the Abyss].」
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Rupture].」
Before Einar could even swing his great sword, the death worm, pierced by arrows and swords, fell onto the grains of sand..
「You have defeated the Deathworm. EXP +5」
「Top mutant kill bonus. EXP +1」
I never thought it would be a 1 second cut.
“You're weaker than I thought?”
“mister! I did it!”
“What are you talking about? Didn't you see my sword cut his body in half before the arrow did??”
“But it was my arrow that blew off the whole head..”
“Aaaaaaaaa! What on earth is this?! I waited so long!!”
Ah, the integer did not come out..
***
After defeating the Death Worm, we left the rocky desert and came back down to the first floor crystal cave..
The reason is simple.
‘It's been three months since I visited the 'green coal mine'.
It is now possible to enter the crack on the first floor again..
‘Come to think of it, this place hasn't turned yet..’
Actually, if you think about it, not all floors are different. Since I mostly skipped the lower floors, the only places I've been to so far are the White Temple on the 3rd floor and the Doppelganger Forest on the 4th floor..
2Since the time spent on the layer is extremely short, I haven't even experienced the effect of cracks opening yet..
‘Will I be able to go this time?…….’
Well, I don't know. This exploration plan includes entry to the second floor crack, but is the crack a place you can enter if you want?.
“Hahaha! It’s been a while since I’ve been here! I feel nostalgic for some reason! Isn't that right, Bjorn??”
This was what Einar said as soon as he arrived in front of the Great Sage Monument located in the center of the Crystal Cave..
Well, he might feel that way too..
I had similar feelings when I came here three months ago..
I first opened a rift here with Einar, and we met Raven and the dwarf there for the first time..
Separately, this was the place where I suffered for several days under siege by the Noark guys..
‘And that was more than three years ago.…….’
There is a lot of time lost while visiting the past, but even taking that into account, a lot of time has passed..
It feels like it really happened a while ago..
Tuk.
Soon, when I placed the grade 8 magic stone I collected from the rocky desert on the altar, a portal opened, and we quickly entered it..
「The character entered the first floor rift..」
The last crack on the first floor that I haven't cleared yet..
“This is the ‘Grave of Steel’’…….”
When Erwen lights up the light with the spirit, a claustrophobic hallway unfolds before your eyes..
It feels like I've entered the inside of the pyramid I saw in the documentary..
Of course, there were clear differences from the pyramids..
The walls of the hallway with mural-like patterns were all made of metal..
“Uncle, what language is it? This.”
“well. I do not know.”
“Hahaha, don't you think Aruru would have liked it more if he had seen it??”
“Stop chatting and move on.”
Since there was no reason to waste time, I slowly started exploring the crack..
Ah, Einar was at the forefront..
It's because he insisted on doing it himself.…….
Amelia and Erwen were also curious about Einar's skills, so they left it at that..
Actually, I wanted to see it too..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Einar, who took the lead, began clearing the rift in an instant..
Originally, the standard for 'Steel Grave' was to dismantle traps, steadily find the way, and head to the final chapter, the grave room, but it was meaningless to Einar..
Since ancient times, it is more efficient to step on a trap than to dismantle it..
As long as your body is strong.
“Einar, it's on the left.!”
“Oooooh!!”
As long as I showed the way from behind, Einar ran, stepped on the trap, and smashed the monster with his great sword..
Quaaaang! Quang! Kwaaaaang!
It was a considerable performance, as expected from a warrior with a great sword specializing in Yanghak..
「Einar Pnellin casted [Repeated Cut].」
「Hitting the same area.」
「[[Scar of Explosion] is activated.」
[Basic combo that achieves synergy with [Repeated Cut].
However, even in the meantime, the growth over the past few years is clearly visible.
「[The power of [Explosion Scar] is doubled by [Perilla Oil]..」
Essence of Smug, a grade 5 monster that is activated when a flame-type ‘passive skill’ is used..
and…….
「[[Residual heat] is activated.」
「Deals additional damage proportional to damage dealt.」
When fire damage is inflicted on multiple targets in a short period of time, 50% reduced damage is inflicted once more, up to a whopping grade 4 essence..
Quack! Quaaaang! Kwaaang!
When Einar swung the sword once, there were up to dozens of explosions, and I, who followed, watched with pride..
‘I didn't know that you would have taken all the essences I told you and ate them all on your own..’
It feels like seeing a student who has done an excellent job with his vacation homework. All of the resistance values were recommended with fairly good essence values, so I was immune to stepping on traps or being directly hit by a monster's special ability..
Well, even if you get hurt, you'll heal quickly anyway..
「Einar Pnellin casted [Wings of Greed].」
「Natural regeneration power increases significantly..」
Einar's setting consumes less soul power because the damage comes from passive..
Excluding the basic attack [Repeated Cut], the only special move is.
Therefore, even if you leave the healer on, it will not be a big burden.…….
「8Defeated a level monster.」
「Recovers soul power in proportion to level.」
Thanks to the 3rd level effect [Predation] of the slayer imprint, both MP and HP are filled just by fighting..
When I looked at it, it even looked like it had a level 6 engraving on it..
「8You are fighting a grade monster.」
「Physical strength continuously increases in proportion to the level..」
Huh, I never thought I would film [Battle Learning].
The more I fight, the more my strength rises and the stronger I become, this is exactly the type of barbarian warrior I wanted..
‘……It would be fun to fight like that.’
As I watched the exciting battle, I felt a strange sense of deprivation, but I quickly gave up the regret..
Because Shield Baba has the taste of Shield Baba..
In the first place, [Dungeon & Stone] is a game that cannot do anything if the main tank does not properly support it..
Raids are possible without priests, wizards, or archers, but main tanks cannot be replaced..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Anyway, without anything else to do, we just followed Einar, and as time went by, our first hunting experience steadily accumulated..
「You have defeated Mummy. EXP +1」
「Killed an iron cavalry EXP +3」
「Defeated Barideon EXP +2」
「Defeated Eye of the Guardian. EXP +2」
「Defeated the Iron Lizardman. EXP +3」
「Defeated the Mysterious Gatekeeper…….」
「…….」
We also found two hidden pieces in the middle and shared them with everyone..
「Character has taken Mercurial Liquid.」
「Anti-magic power permanently increases by +3.」
「This effect does not overlap.」
「Your character is blessed with iron.」
「Physical resistance is permanently increased by +3.」
「This effect does not overlap.」
1Because it is a floor crack, the stat increase is relatively small, but as it accumulates, it grows considerably..
「The character has entered the Tomb of Steel.」
Even though I did everything I could to explore, it didn't take long to reach the boss room..
Um, I guess it took about 3 hours..
‘The hunting speed is definitely fast at 3 hours solo..’
This seems to be enough proof of his abilities, but as if he wasn't completely satisfied, Einar even fought the boss battle alone..
and…….
「Defeated Iron Man Ildium. EXP +4」
「Top mutant kill bonus. EXP +1」
「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」
The moment the short boss battle ended.
As an explorer who is synonymous with greed, everyone's eyes turned to the body that turned into a halo of light and began to disappear..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
First of all, there was no essence..
The same was true for cracked stones, which were sold at a fairly high price..
but…….
“…flower?”
“uh? Were there flowers among the number items??”
Number item was dropped.
No.9999 Beginner's Luck.
It's also incredibly rare.
