Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 513
513angry natives (1)
There are three bodies hanging from the tree..
“Erwen, try cutting the line..”
First, the body was lowered to the ground and an autopsy was performed..
“The cross section of the wound is clean..”
“Looking at the stab wound, the weapon was a sword. It must be about this long..”
“…Well then, it is highly likely that it was a human act..”
Professional wizards and assassins agreed that the wound was caused by a weapon..
“I… But aren't there quite a few monsters that use weapons??”
The non-combat navigator said this in an innocent voice, but no one thought that it was a monster that killed these three..
Because the body was hanging on a tree..
“Never before has the aggression of monsters been revealed in this way. I'm sure you've seen it at least once, Mr. Rockrobe, haven't you? The monsters run amok with murderous intent whenever they see an explorer, but they don't show any interest in the deceased explorer..”
“ah… Now that I think about it, I think it was like that..”
Versil's explanation was definitely not wrong, as Auyen immediately understood it..
but…….
“after… What on earth happened here?…….”
“well. Could it be that there was some internal strife among the Silver Lion Clan? Or maybe these people committed betrayal. First of all, it is definitely not the work of a monster..”
Versil’s reasoning cannot be considered 100% correct..
Not only is there a possibility that a new type of monster exists with habits we don't know about.…….
“mental pollution.”
“…yes?”
“Maybe I've been affected by mental contamination. Monsters don't do things like that, but it's not strange for humans in madness to do anything..”
This possibility clearly exists.
And as a leader, I have no intention of ignoring that possibility..
“Versil, cast the ‘tranquility’ spell.”
“ah… yes!”
Therefore, we first made basic preparations..
Although it is not as effective as the 'Soul Barrier' spell, which is most effective against mental contamination, 'Soul Barrier' consumes a significant amount of magic power..
“It would be possible to maintain tranquility magic at all times.?”
“yes. Do not worry.”
Okay, then if there is a problem later, we will place an additional order..
Sigh.
I raised my head and looked one more time at where the bodies were hanging..
And I asked Misha next to me..
“Missha.”
“Yes?!”
“What was your impression when you first saw the corpses hanging from the trees??”
“iced coffee… well… … ? It may have seemed like showing off. As if the game was on display.…….”
Yeah, that's right.
“Emily, you?”
“It felt more like a threat than a show off. Also, it was there right in front of the exit.…….”
“Like, don't come in here anymore.?”
“okay.”
Amelia nodded and asked back..
“How did you feel like that??”
“Same as you. It felt like a warning to me too..”
The moment I muttered that, I heard a strange sound next to me..
“Ugh.”
“Why are you like this, Misha??”
“nothing…….”
Anyway, the conversation ends here..
I lost interest in the three corpses..
Who harmed them like this?.
There is a huge contradiction in calling it a monster, and there are parts that don't make sense even if it is assumed to be a human..
But, so what?.
‘If you go further, you will find out..’
If you're curious about the darkness, go in.
As there is an old saying about the labyrinth, there are things in the world that cannot be known by just observing..
thus…….
“depart.”
Feeling like I was revealing the map first, I had Auyen draw the map and went into the jungle..
And how long has it passed?.
“Ugh! I, the tree is moving!!”
Finally faced my first monster.
The guys who told me about this island weren't the 'Diamontes' who hunted on the coast..
“It's a new type of monster..”
Name and grade unknown.
The classification is probably plant species..
There are no cases of wild or natural species attached to moving trees..
Hwii profit-!
A vine that swings like a whip.
Hmm, is this this guy’s average??
Cooung-!
Looking at the weight transmitted through the shield, the power itself is not that great..
Considering it's an average hit, I think it's about level 5.?
Of course, it is too early to feel at ease with that information alone..
Because it is common sense that the Mage class has weak average attacks..
Tdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd-!
The branches trembled as if blown by the autumn wind, and soon light spheres fell along with the leaves..
The light sphere, which was very small at first, quickly grew in size, and by the time it reached the ground, it was several times larger than when it started..
Also, it had a clear outline of a shape..
“It's Cidria!”
5Grade Plant Species Monster Seedria.
A monster that is small in size and makes cute sounds, but has the same name and color as a troll..
[Beep, beep, beep……!]
Seeing that Seedria was summoned, it must be [Growing Seed], one of the summoning abilities..
What are the remaining skills??
As I thought about it and held on to the seven summoned Seedria, I was soon able to check the next skill..
Tuduk, tududududu! Doo doo doo doo!
Magical spheres fired like machine guns.
4It is the [Magic Burst] of the marine monster Palpupura..
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!
That thing spewing out like dust seems to be [Charm Powder]..
‘The overall difficulty level is about doing pull-ups of grade 4..’
I checked to see if there were any more hidden abilities, but no additional active skills were revealed..
Honestly, I still don't know what passive is..
However, I didn't think it would drag on any longer, so I just ended the battle at this point..
Kwaang-!
A huge tree splits in half as soon as you hit its side with a hammer with all your might..
“oh! Did you finish it??”
But strangely, the body turns into light and does not disappear..
what? Was the passive a resurrection system??
It was a time when I was slowly approaching with that thought in mind..
[kyun?]
A tiny creature comes out of a knot hole in a tree that has been split in half, and when it sees us, it starts to run away..
[As a user of [Dungeon & Stone], I felt strongly about it..
“That was the main body. Erwen, don't miss out.!”
As soon as he was in a hurry to give instructions, Erwen punished the fleeing enemy..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
As the words say, fireworks fly and explode like a flash..
「Killed a oyster squirrel.」
Soon, when the dust cleared, there were two things left..
4A magic stone estimated to be at the bottom of the grade..
and…….
「No.9999 Beginner's Luck has been activated.」
It was integer.
***
“What should I do??”
“What should I do? Isn’t this a new type of monster? Of course, I put it in a test tube..”
As soon as permission was given, Bersil took the test tube and headed straight for the water, and I was lost in thought for a moment..
“I guess this guy's essence won't be used as much as I thought..”
“surely… I don't know what the embodied supernatural ability is, but the supernatural ability itself wasn't very powerful.…….”
Misha adds additional explanation to Amelia’s muttering..
It looked a little unfamiliar.
Because Misha did not talk to other team members throughout the expedition..
‘Are you slowly getting used to it??’
Although it wasn't a proper conversation, it was a positive change that we didn't just keep our mouths shut like before. Well, I think it would make the atmosphere strange if I said that for no reason..
So I just naturally accepted it..
“That may not necessarily be the case..”
“What does it mean??”
“Because these types of people often have their own special abilities..”
There are quite a few cases where parasitic entities have different skills depending on their host..
Either the host's skill itself is strengthened, or a completely new skill is added..
“I guess I'll have to go to the library later and check out this guy's abilities..”
“What should I do with the name??”
“Well, does it make sense? I think the guys who came already gave it a name anyway..”
“……You never know. I'd say it's Nanari..”
“Yeah, do whatever you want..”
As I keep watching, it seems that even if it's not this time, eventually at least one monster named 'Nanari' will be born someday..
“hmm… Nanari is also good, though. In addition to summoning Cidria, he uses the ability of Palpupura. Rather, it is called Sipalpura.—.”
“stop.”
Versil, why is he doing this??
“This guy is Nanari. I'll call it that until the official name is confirmed..”
I said exactly.
“……Hehehe!”
Fortunately, Amelia seemed very happy..
‘Well, let's end the name issue here.…….’
After finishing collecting Nanari's (temporary) essence, we slowly began moving back into the exploration formation..
“…What a bizarre island..”
This island was so eerie that everyone could understand Auyen's mutterings..
The jungle terrain itself was ordinary, dark with no light, something that explorers were familiar with..
However, there is a difference in the details.?
“eww… I stepped on it again without knowing…….”
When you walk through the bushes, you sometimes step on something..
Something squishy, as if you stepped on mud..
If you lift up the bush and check underneath, there is something that looks like a piece of meat, unknown to which part of the monster, has fallen..
“I'm so upset that I'm dying. Why is there something like this on the floor?…….”
“Still, isn't it a good thing? At least it doesn't smell rotten.”
Of course, this is just a matter of smell..
Visually, it was so grotesque that even I felt a little distressed. Should I say that it looks like different types of monsters were placed at once and crushed with a hydraulic press??
‘No, why are the eyes sticking out like that?…….’
Anyway, we find such things hanging haphazardly on the floor and sometimes on trees..
It feels like I've entered an island with a crazy alchemist as the final boss..
It was a time when we were making a map and conducting a slow search..
“ready for battle!”
A monster made a surprise attack in the dark..
‘Diamont’, a monster that knew information in advance.’
「Defeated Diamont.」
The battle itself was not very difficult, but for research purposes, an experiment was conducted under the pretense of a battle for about 40 minutes..
And as a result, Diamont's embodied ability.
I was able to find out the passive skill.
[unclean].
This is the skill that increases the performance of all active skills by 1.5 times, instead of reducing the maximum integer by 1..
‘I was expecting it because all actives were level 3..’
I never thought the passive would be level 5.
I feel a little tired.
‘If it had a good passive, it could have been used as a graduation essence..’
Of course, I don't know about other skills, but [Hellfire] is a skill that produces graduation essence performance..
It's because the original owner's passive and stats are bad..
‘It's good to see new combinations coming out, but it can be really difficult to find the right combination.—.’
“mister!”
At that time, Erwen shouted urgently..
I haven't even had much time to rest after the battle, but is this already a monster again??
The moment I stood up with that thought in mind,.
“Not a monster! It's a person!”
Additional important information follows..
“person?”
“The number is four. I'm running fast as if I'm running away from something.…….”
“It's not coming this way. What should I do??”
What to do.
“Let's go. I was already curious about what happened. Since they came to this island before us, they must know a lot..”
As we are all seasoned explorers, we quickly organized ourselves into a formation..
And move quickly with Erwen in the lead..
“We'll see each other soon!”
Erwen soon stopped, and soon the explorers appeared beyond the bushes..
“uh……!”
Their reactions as they ran out of breath were complex..
“Yandel… baron……?”
Embarrassment, caution, surprise, joy, hope…….
A fragment of countless emotions that pass by for a moment.
However, did I come to my senses??
“lived, lived!”
“…Please save me!”
Explorers who rush at us, throwing away their weapons without even asking why we are here..
He was the type I hated the most..
No, I know I'm happy, but I have to do what I have to do..
“What were you chasing??”
“ah… iced coffee… … . Oh, it's a monster! living on this island……!”
“Are you being chased? I can't feel anything else.”
“Oh, no it won't be like that.!”
“Then why did you run like that??”
“…No, because I was captured in their village and barely escaped. I thought there might be a chase.…….”
“Right.”
Since I was done with the information I needed to check right now, I let go of the shoulder I had been holding tightly..
“It looks like there are no monsters, but don't let down your guard..”
There is no need to exert force unnecessarily, so downgrade the situation from combat mode to alert mode. After that, he handed a glass of water to the explorers he encountered..
And as soon as I finished drinking, I started asking questions..
Actually, there was a part that made me tilt my head as soon as I heard it earlier..
“When you've calmed down, speak now. A village??”
“Yes, literally. It's a village of monsters that live on this island.…….”
“Does this mean there is a colony??”
“Well, it's different from that. We don't know how to explain this, but…….”
The explorer who still hasn't come to his senses.
Instead of him, the woman next to him opened her mouth..
“Baron, those monsters were completely different from ordinary monsters..”
“what?”
“First of all, they communicated through a clear language system. The wizard said he seemed to be speaking an ancient language... … . iced coffee! This is not what's important.”
Soon the woman shook her head and continued speaking..
“The village we were captured in was truly huge. There was a house where many monsters lived... … . There were children and families on the streets..”
“…….”
“It's like living here... like the natives.”
Because they are natives…….
It was quite an interesting story..
