Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 511
511angry grave (3)
It makes no logical sense..
This book contains information about names that were created less than a day ago..
“…How can that be? We just got here.”
“The information written is also accurate. Yandel, do you know anything about this??”
“well…….”
However, even though I said it vaguely, I had a feeling that I wanted to do it deep down..
I felt it subconsciously.
I can't explain it well in words, but I must say that I intuitively recognized what this phenomenon was related to.?
‘recorder…….’
That the entire history of the end is written from the beginning to the end..
This phenomenon clearly has some kind of relationship with it..
As seen in the book, isn't the name of this class also 'archives'?.
‘The more I explore, the more complicated my mind becomes.…….’
I was blacked out for a moment, but quickly came to my senses..
It won’t be too late to think about this problem again later..
“This must be one of the mysteries of the labyrinth. Everyone, stop worrying about this. The priority is to continue our work.”
“okay! Isn’t research and investigation something only wizards do? We just need to explore.!”
Einar speaks the truth for the first time in a long time..
I chuckled and carefully read the parts I had skimmed through earlier..
Although the origin of the name was a bit shocking, the book itself was a great help to me..
Unlike the city, this book has accurate numbers written down..
[Agility +8, Lightning Resistance +15, Leap +30, Spiritual Power +20]
Basic stats written in numbers, not high, middle, or low..
In addition, I was able to find out the color and effect of each essence that I was curious about..
The green essence is [Ironclad Feather]].
Yellow Essence is [Thunderthorn].
Blue essence is [bubble bubble].
Actually, I don't think there's any need for research at the Magic Tower at this level, but they're just making a lot of money to write papers and raise their name..
Even if this becomes known, it will definitely sell expensively..
“now! Then let's try again quickly!”
After I figured out everything, I used the book to summon a monster..
「Killed Nightpla.」
「McGurry has been killed.」
The battle was over in an instant, no matter how long it took..
As before, the stone door closed and a staircase leading to the third level of the bookshelf appeared..
Therefore, I checked the contents by pulling out the books from the bookshelf again, and when I found a summoning book, I threw it into the battle standby on the first floor and quickly defeated it, so I proceeded quickly..
「Defeated the Frostwolf.」
「Defeated the Ice Golem.」
「Killed a Death Knight.」
「Vaikundus has been defeated.」
「Killed the Minotaur…….」
「…….」
As expected, the higher the bookshelf, the more the number and level of monsters written in the book increased, and the level of difficulty gradually increased..
In fact, this level is not bad for an ordinary hunting ground..
‘There are no new monsters…….’
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a book depicting the highly anticipated new monster..
‘…Do I have to catch it at least once to get out??’
There is that possibility, but the number of samples is still insufficient to make a confirmation. There are still a lot more stairs to climb..
one day, two days, three days…….
Time passed quickly as I repeated simple labor tasks like that..
Since I only spent time hunting except for sleeping and eating, I was able to increase the number of floors in a short period of time, and a sufficient number of samples were accumulated in proportion to that..
And to sum up what we found out through those statistics:.
1. There are no new monsters in the book..
It is unclear whether there are no more new monsters themselves, or whether only 'discovered' entities appear in the book..
This is a problem that needs to be figured out by exploring other places..
2. This library is not a good hunting ground..
It's a very, very, very good hunting ground..
If magic stones and essence are the goal, should it be said to be more efficient than any other field??
The monster always comes out through the stone gate..
It is easy to form a formation and engage in team battles..
Possible preparation time before summoning.
You can cast skills, including magic, in advance..
From the middle part onwards, there were more than 100 monsters in one book..
There's no need to explain this.
It's already a field specialized for mass hunting, but there's no need to wait for it to respawn after completing one hunt..
When you're done hunting, just summon it again..
In fact, over three days, more than 10 million stones were earned from magic stones alone, and only seven essences were dropped..
Well, since the six were below grade 6, I just threw them away and kept only the grade 5 in the test tube..
‘It's definitely not bad if you just hunt.…….’
Nevertheless, everyone on the team, including me, was dissatisfied with the hunt..
Because our purpose is not hunting..
Isn’t this the area where people first touched?.
Just discovering the unknown can bring in more income than hunting..
‘Instead, the problem is… … . It would be impossible to completely break this at our level..’
Looking at the progress of the strategy, it has clearly passed the halfway point and can be seen as the beginning of the second half..
However, clearing the last stage was realistically impossible..
‘The fact that a level 3 monster appears here means that there will also be a level 1 monster above here..’
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to conclude the library strategy at this point.…….
That was when my thoughts led to that point..
“Bjoruuuun!!”
Einar, who was on a bookshelf far away, called to me in a loud voice..
“I found a book with a new monster written on it.!!”
Uh, really?
***
At Einar's shout, all the members who had been scattered and collecting books gathered in one place..
As the target was Einar, everyone looked at him with half suspicion and half anticipation, but Einar showed the book to everyone with a triumphant attitude..
Full body covered with tentacle-like vines.
It walks on four legs and has something similar to bony wings on its back..
“how is it? Have you ever seen a monster like this??”
“surely… This is my first time seeing it.”
“Yandel, you?”
“It's my first time too.”
First of all, it seems like it's a new monster..
But suddenly at this time?
“Read it quickly! What level is this guy? Just by looking at it, it looks really strong.!”
Although I felt somewhat awkward, I read the ancient language in front of everyone..
“The name is Tentaculan. The habitat is the sea of records.”
“When you say the river of records, doesn't that mean the sea where McGuri comes from??”
“That's right, don't stop talking..”
“ah! sorry.”
“4It is a level monster, and its classification is beast type..”
“oh! It's level 4! What about this ability? What is this ability??”
No, I keep telling you not to stop talking.…….
after… Isn’t this someone you can communicate with??
“It is said that the Embodiment ability is the same grade 4 monster, Cimmerchant's [Peacemaker], the Gargoyle's [Sound of Evil], Medusa's [Stone Curse], and Riou Mobidic's [Underwater Roar]..”
“……There really are more monsters mixed with different types of supernatural abilities. In this layer.”
Okay, at this point, it should be considered a fait accompli..
A new monster with a new essence combination appears here..
and…….
“It looks like the monsters that appear in the library must be discovered at least once..”
This was newly added information..
“Eh? Aren't we the first to discover it??”
I nodded and read the origin of the name as it was written..
“········It was first discovered and named by explorer Matherkin Lilgriams while exploring the archives on the first underground floor..”
“If it's Matherkin Lil Grimams... … . He is the leader of the Silver Lion Clan who came here together.……?”
“They said they would die without us and all, but they seem to be exploring on their own..”
Amelia looked uncomfortable as she said that..
I think we feel like our share has been taken away..
I'm not giving you money just because your name is written here..
Oh, are you just upset that the free rider's name is listed when your name hasn't even been posted yet??
‘……When I find a new monster later, I'll let him name it..’
That's enough information about the monster, so we all went down together and started summoning it..
[purr…….]
Much larger size than seen in the picture.
But I have one question.
Except for the tentacles, it looks like a wolf. Why does it live in the sea??
「Killed a Tentaculan.」
I don't know, but the hunt itself ended smoothly..
As this was my first time hunting it, I fought slowly and conventionally rather than hitting it with damage, but I still couldn't escape the limit of level 4..
“Than you think… It's easy.”
Come to think of it, Misha has gotten really strong too.…….
4If you see him say something like that after chopping up a level monster with a single knife,.
“Now then, everyone gather together for a moment..”
After the hunt was over, all members were gathered together and a vote was held..
There is only one agenda for voting.
“Please tell us your opinion on whether it would be better to stay here or explore other areas further..”
However, the team members' reaction was not good..
“…Does it make sense? Anyway, the decision will be made based on what you voted for..”
“So.”
after… Did I bring it out too early??
The multiple voting technique should have been used later for more important matters..
“Don't worry. I will abstain from this vote..”
As soon as I said it clearly, the team members who had been looking at me with disbelief at the word voting lowered their heads..
“Hmm, if that's the case.”
“It might be worth a try..”
Only then did voting begin normally, and surprisingly, the opinions were unanimous..
Finishing the library exploration and exploring other areas.
Actually, it was the result I expected..
There was already an unsatisfactory atmosphere with simple labor-style hunting, but this time, the Tentakulan incident added fuel to the fire..
“This place isn't bad, but considering there are competitors, it's a huge waste of time..”
“Even at this very moment, they are probably looking for new monsters and giving them names..”
“If the essence is found, it will be sold at a high price to the Magic Tower..”
Yes, this is how an explorer should be..
However, even though the voting results came out, I decided to stay here for one to two more days..
“…I'm not leaving right away?”
“Why? It's not like you to delay time for no reason..”
The members look at me as if they are trying to dictator this time again..
I feel somehow sad.
I'm just being effective as a leader.
“Aren’t there now level 3 monsters appearing in the book? If possible, grab everything you can and leave..”
2Even though the grade is a bit unreasonable, grade 3 monsters can be hunted reliably with our full power..
“Besides, Emily, there must be quite a few level 3 monsters you haven't defeated yet.?”
“that… yes.”
“Einar, you haven't yet found the essence I told you about before..”
“……Ugh!”
It's not just Einar.
Among the grade 3 essences of Erwendo and Misha, there are essences that must be consumed..
Even I have to drink ‘Bellarios’ essence..
“Does everyone agree then??”
“…….”
Silence is synonymous with tacit consent.
With my future plans set, I devoted myself to hunting harder than before..
「Defeated a mechanical giant +EXP 7」
「Killed the Phoenix +EXP 7」
「Defeated Earthbin +EXP 6」
「Defeated Garcia +EXP 7」
「Defeated the Abyss Skeleton…….」
「…….」
Although the battle difficulty increased several times compared to the middle part, the fruit was sweet..
7Because the Dark Continent was at war, I caught more than half of the level 4 and level 3 monsters that I had not caught yet..
The only disappointing thing is that ‘beginner’s luck’ only activated once..
「No.9999 Beginner's Luck has been activated.」
Still, what I ate was the essence of the Abyss Skeleton..
Although he is treated as a miscellaneous mob, he only appears on the 10th floor..
Although none of our members could use it, the 10th floor essence was still worth a lot, so it was a good harvest..
‘By the way, it seems like those who are hard to find in the labyrinth don't appear often in books either..’
A representative example is Belarios..
I wish he would come out.
Somehow it doesn't come out until the end..
“stop.”
It's a shame, but I decided to end the level 3 hunt at this point..
That's right, because now the difficulty level has increased and two level 3 monsters appear..
The combination was somehow good because it was possible to hunt even with two animals, but due to high battle fatigue, the rest time was long, so the efficiency was not good..
thus…….
“Everyone, take your books. I'm going out now.”
I started preparing to descend..
“Bring a book?”
“Other guys might come here, right? If we just take the books from the top bookshelf, it will be impossible to go any higher than the area we targeted. Even if you summon 100 days using the summoning books below, the stairs will not appear..”
“Given the volume and weight of these books, there may not be enough space in subspace during exploration.?”
“When you run out of food, just throw it into the sea..”
“what? Yandel, you really…….”
“really?”
“You're smart. Especially in places like this.”
Everyone, including Amelia, heard my order and welcomed it, saying it was a good idea..
Not a single person said it was a cowardly act..
That's because everyone here was an explorer..
‘Well, this is fair competition in this industry..’
After making the field itself unattackable, we went back the way we came..
Cooung- Cooung-
Unlike me, who easily climbs one step at a time, my colleagues jump and follow me..
It was time to step on the last stairs and climb up..
“…Hey, Baron Yandel.?”
For some reason, explorers were gathered at the entrance..
And that too in battle formation with weapons drawn..
