Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 460
460Tuesday Raid (5)
Hierarch.
A type of field boss that appears when specific summoning conditions are met for each layer of the labyrinth..
Usually, it can be attempted only when you have the specifications to stably navigate the 7th floor crack, so it is classified as a higher level raid above the crack..
At least that's the case for 5th floor monarchs..
Tier 6 or higher level monarchs, where the difficulty level starts to jump, belong to the 'highest level raid', and it is safe to view it as just end content from this point on..
‘But in fact, the first raid was Tier Lord..’
This is ridiculous, considering that ‘Doppelganger Forest’ on the 4th floor was the highest level raid based on clearing..
There are only four people who can fight right now..
The number is not even enough for a full party, let alone a raid unit..
but…….
‘3There are a few rank integers, so I guess I can at least hit the last hit..’
The decision was made as soon as I saw Riakis from afar..
This isn't to the point where it's okay to be greedy; it's foolish not to be greedy.…….
‘There was a promise I made back then.’
It felt like a second year of middle school, but it was a promise I made to myself..
If the next day comes when we see each other again—.
[Ohhhhh—!!!!!]
It will be different then.
“Yandel, what should I do next??”
“Oh, I'll be blocking it, so hit hard..”
“that is… Is it everything??”
After hearing the simple and clear order, Amelia looked at me as if I were crazy, but there was nothing I could do about it..
Liakis' 4th phase is like that..
There is no particular trick to strategy..
You just have to press it using the regular method..
「Riakis, Lord of Chaos, senses the source of life..」
As soon as we enter its radius, it stops running on all fours and looks this way..
and…….
[Gooooooooooooo-!]
They rush at us, letting out a ferocious howl..
1Even the sound of footsteps was different from during the phase..
Ta-dat, ta-dat, ta-dat-!
Still heavy, but much lighter and faster than before.
Of course, the running speed is incomparable..
Because the concept of Phase 4 is ‘agility’.
“Everyone step back..”
I sent my colleagues back and linked [Transcendence] with [Giantization]..
「Your physique increases in proportion to your strength..」
If it had been in Phase 1, when it showed off its bloated body, it would not have had a chin, but now that the skin has adhered to the bones, it is roughly the right size..
[It was one of the many advantages of [giantization].
「Riakis, the Lord of Chaos, feels a great threat to your character..」
‘The 'threat' value increases significantly, and aggro is definitely attracted when raiding..
Well, when did you meet this guy?.
Hunting prey that is similar to yours.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
[[Wild Eruption] was cast and the already high threat value was raised once more and rushed in..
It's called Giant Shield Charge..
Kwaaang-!
A giant barbarian holding a shield and a giant monster collide at the midpoint, creating a roar..
profit.
Unfortunately, I was the one who lost in strength..
It wasn't really surprising.
Has it been a day or two since the monarchs had no conscience regarding their basic stats??
Powok-!
[I cast [Swing] and hit him with the hammer, but the guy literally didn't even flinch..
Since I got hit in the jaw, I'm sure I'll experience stiffness..
The guy immediately swings his front paw and punishes me..
[Kyaaaaaak!]
4Because it was a phase, the attack speed was terrifying, so there was no way for me to avoid it..
Well, there was no reason to avoid it..
Powok-!
The reason my body is strong is because this side is the same..
Just as my hammer doesn't hurt you, it doesn't really hurt when I hit you.—.
‘……But why does it keep spinning before my eyes??’
As soon as I finished checking the deal amount, I reconsidered my decision..
It's not like my head was torn off or my claws turned into rags due to a lack of resistance..
one……
‘……My head won't work.’
My body shakes as the shock reaches my brain..
I don't think it was like this even when I was spanked with all my might by my physical education teacher when I was in middle school.…….
“Bjorn!!”
I quickly threw away the childhood memories that came to mind like a flash and focused on the present..
Huh-!
Even so, he was swinging his front foot once again..
Kwaang-!
This time, fortunately, I blocked it in time with my shield..
Also, dealers also finished building their formations just in time..
「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Self-Replication].」
Amelia rushing from left and right with her clone.
Suddenly-
As if they had no intention of conserving resources, they activated [Power of the Abyss] from the beginning and began attacking Liakis' lower body, including his ankles and thighs..
Also, at the same time.
「Einar Pnellin casted [Repeated Cut].」
Einar jumped high and struck the man with his great sword on his shoulder..
However, there was no explosion sound like usual..
That's because I'm not teaching the mob right now..
「Einar Pnellin casted [Wild Control].」
[Wild control].
This is the essence that I previously recommended to Einar, who was wondering what to receive as royal compensation..
The effect of this skill is very simple.
「All conditional activation effects of the next attack are converted to cutting power..」
[Scars of explosion], [Mandel oil], [Residual heat].
The damage of a total of three conditional skills is converted to cutting power..
To put it simply…….
Suddenly-!
This means that raid mode and hunting mode can be freely swapped..
Of course, that doesn't mean it resulted in a fatal blow..
The thick skin was cut and a few drops of blood as black as oil flowed..
[Ohhhhh-!]
I expected it from Amelia, who is an Auror user, but Einar's deal is working better than expected..
So now all that's left is Erwen.…….
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Focused Fire].」
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Elemental Synthesis].」
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Rupture].」
It goes without saying, honey..
“Man, avoid it.!”
Since I've only worked with Erwen once or twice, I immediately stepped aside after hearing those words and gave her an angle..
and at that moment.
flash.
A flash of light in the shape of a stem is shot out..
Zyuung-!
The next thing I heard was a compressed sound..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Beyond the fluttering light.
[Ooooooooooooo-!!!]
I grinned while looking at the guy who was crying out in pain..
Erwen's attack was still far from being considered a fatal blow, but.
‘Wow, my forehead is broken in one hit..’
Dill is enough.
So, say it again…….
「Chaos Lord Liakis casted [Corrupted Horn].」
The raid starts now.
***
Riakis, Lord of Chaos.
Phase 1 of this guy is simple..
It inflicts continuous damage due to field erosion caused by the passive aura [Rain of Despair] and the spirit of chaos, and orbs periodically appear from the eroded ground to restore Liakis' stamina..
There is only one thing to be careful about at this time.
[crack of evil]
An instant death spell that is used if you eat more than a certain amount of beads..
Decomposition method is easy..
Just run away from the floor..
The problem is that if it leaves the floor, the designated 'prey' becomes incapable of action..
At this time, Liakis is attracted to the 'prey', and if he succeeds in killing the 'prey', his basic stats increase and the difficulty of the next phase increases..
‘Well, except for this, it's easy because it's a hand-to-hand combat..’
The real raid starts from phase 2..
When the health drops below a certain level, Riakis feels threatened and opens the [Door of Chaos], sucking everyone into it..
Permanent erosion of all tiles.
High level of mental contamination.
The player must track down and find Liakis in the worst possible field and deal with a guy who has been spoiled with numerous combat adjustments..
In fact, if you look at the phase alone, it is the most difficult point..
However, if there is a ‘Torch of Purification’, the story is different..
Just leave the torch on and endure..
After two days in game time, the [Door of Chaos] opens again and returns to the original field..
‘Although it's a bit tricky to get as many Purification Torches as there are people, it's the easier way..’
Of course, this strategy also has its drawbacks..
When you go to Phase 3, Liakis becomes much stronger than even having all his blood filled..
Well, it's still more advantageous to use a torch, so I used a torch most of the time..
anyway.
3During the phase, chaos spirits no longer appear on the 3rd floor..
Instead, [Rain of Despair] is strengthened..
Areas exposed to rain quickly turn into erosion zones, rendering all equipment useless..
Until the labyrinth is closed, number items completely lose their effectiveness, and adamantium armor's defense is drastically reduced to the level of ordinary iron equipment..
‘maybe… Sawtooth, they probably started to fail from here too..’
Mental immunity using torches can no longer be used.
In that situation, you have to fight against Riakis, who has become stronger..
According to my prediction, the strategy chosen by the Sawtooth Clan here was wheel warfare. They must have steadily lost blood by managing aggro..
‘Otherwise, there's no way he would have started running around 6 hours after Phase 3 started..’
However, I'm not particularly curious about how exactly the raid failed..
There must have been an accident somewhere.
[[Dungeon & Stone] is that kind of game..
A game where just one small mistake can lead to irreversible consequences..
‘Still, seeing as how we made it to Phase 4 in the end, it looks like we prepared pretty hard.…….’
In the end, it was only good for me..
4The most difficult thing about the phase is that you can't receive equipment, but we don't have that penalty either.?
‘How can I just pass by after seeing this?.’
Isn’t this almost at the level of being handed over to you to eat?.
Even if you have an upset stomach later, you have to eat first..
I don't know if the integer will show up or not..
If it comes out, it will be crazy comfortable from now on..
Kwaaaaang-!
A blood clot that lasted for over 30 minutes.
Erwen's arrow pierced deep into Riakis' left eyeball..
「Chaos Lord Liakis casted [Corrupted Left Eye].」
Okay, so now you've removed both eyeballs??
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Ominous black smoke flowing from eyelids.
And an eerie eye light shining beyond it.
[…….]
It no longer let out a single groan even when its flesh was pierced and its eyeballs were blown out..
As if it were becoming less and less of a living thing..
‘Because my toenails grew back... When there were about seven contaminated bodies?’
4The concept of Phase is simple..
As you continue to hit, Riakis will recover by removing the contaminated body and gradually become stronger than before..
and…….
‘Now eleven.’
Just one more shot from now on..
The raid ends when 12 of the 36 bodies that can be contaminated are contaminated..
“Everyone step back.!”
As soon as he was in a hurry to send his teammates back, he began his final struggle..
「The corrupted power begins to run wild..」
If your name is a boss, you must have at least one wide pattern..
From now on it's a race against time.
「blessings for pilgrims.」
「The unknown energy hidden in chaos begins to purify the polluted power..」
It takes about 5 minutes for Liakis to cleanse the contaminated body and return to its original state..
One more part must be contaminated.—.
“Ah, man!”
At that time, Erwen urgently called me..
what? There won't be any other emergency at this point.…….
“More than dozens of people are heading this way! That too very quickly!”
“what?”
Dozens of people, who are they??
Could it be that the barbarians in the shelter came to see me because they were worried about me??
That was the first possibility that came to mind.
but…….
“…I think it's the Sawtooth Clan.!”
Damn, there's no way the world could be that warm.
“what?! Didn't they fail??”
Einar shouted, unable to hide his embarrassment..
I felt the same way..
‘how… How are things going??’
I don't understand at all.
That's right, dozens of people.?
If there were that many people, why was Riakis wandering around alone? Could it be that the raid was a failure??
All kinds of questions are floating around without being resolved..
However, in the meantime, one thing was clear.
‘They're coming here…….’
This is a very negative variable for us..
Isn't it easy to change your position?.
‘When there was only the last hit left…….’
They'll never stand by and watch us hit the nail on the head..
Yeah, I mean…….
‘…Nothing changes.’
「purification rate 1%.」
Approximately 10 minutes remaining until Liakis's full recovery..
Let's think that it has decreased further..
Like a simple yet brave barbarian.
“Be—helaaaaaaa!”
“Ah, man?”
“What are you doing! Hurry up and get it done!!”
You can think about the rest later.
