Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 527
527Hwa Giant Island (6)
Quaaaaang-! Kwaang-! Kwaang-!
The black spheres pouring down were not enough, and as they stuck to my body, the guy lost his balance and fell forward..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
This time, the dust cloud blooms again.
[Woooooooooo-!]
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
In the midst of the chaos, someone hits the back of the head with a hammer, lifts the person up by the ankle, and throws the person back on the floor. I did my best to keep him from getting up..
“What kind of fight is this?…….”
“Armin, can we help you??”
“Let's watch first…….”
How long has it been since we fought so frantically?.
「Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Focused Fire].」
A strong light is sprinkled on Erwen’s arrow..
Before you knew it, you summoned the Spirit King and ran out of MP, [Chaos Circuit] was activated, and even after fully charging [Focused Fire], 1 minute had passed..
—————!
Arrows are fired and the whole world turns white..
and…….
[………!!]
The exact center of the giant's head.
Light penetrated the area that would have been between the eyebrows if it were a person, creating a large hole..
“…Did you finish it??”
However, like the explorers watching from afar, I did not feel complacent..
Isn’t this a guy who doesn’t even know his passive yet?.
Among the monsters, there are tough ones that survive even if their heads are cut off.—.
“Ooh, it's moving……!”
Huh, yeah, somehow it seemed like that..
[Woooooooooo—!!]
Soon, the guy with a hole in his head curled up on the floor, roaring as if in pain..
The same position you were sleeping in when I first saw you earlier..
Thanks to you, I was able to learn a new skill.
Unfortunately, there is no information about passive……
「Hipramagent casted [Crouching].」
I never thought I would have this skill.
First of all, I quickly gave instructions..
“stop the attack!”
The reason is simple.
In this situation, if we lose, it’s our loss..
「3All resistance values increase by 20 times for a minute..」
「3Natural regeneration increases by 20 times per minute..」
「All stats are greatly increased until the end of the battle, proportional to the amount of damage absorbed while crouching..」
A skill that is virtually invincible.
It is one of the Ogre's active skills and is the most difficult thing to do when playing Ogre Raid..
However, there is a fatal drawback to using it as a tank..
[There is no doubt that [Crouching] is an S-class survival technique.…….
When a tank falls asleep and wakes up, there's no way his comrades will be there..
Of course, this was an exception for monsters..
1minutes, 2 minutes…….
As time passes, new flesh fills the hole in your head..
And at exactly 3 minutes.
The guy slowly got up from his crouching body..
All the visible trauma has already been regenerated..
[Whoa whoa……!!]
The guy soon woke up and made a move to run away again..
but…….
‘There's no way.’
Shackles placed on ankles while crouching.
The redemption story of a magician and a wizard.
And when he was repeatedly blocked by my active interference, he also changed his mind..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Hipramagent, who has given up on running away and rushes in like you will die and I will die..
Only then did it become similar to a normal raid..
During battle, the 'threat' value is applied well and the aggro is properly fixed to me..
“attack!”
Dozens of explorers began to deal hard damage in each formation, and the guy also counterattacked using various active skills..
「Hipramagent casted [Roar of the End].」
「Hipramagent casted [Gravity Field].」
Wide range dealing and CC skills written in the village chief's book.
As we had prepared a preparedness plan in advance, there was no damage from this skill..
Whiuuuuuung-!
Meteorites falling from the sky are guarded by wizards by setting up a barrier..
The aura [gravity field], which has a certain probability to attract enemies within the range, minimized damage by giving priority to all explorers to save them whenever they were pulled in..
「Mule Armin casted [Irritable Skin].」
「Damage received by target increases by 30%.」
「Jackson Zanville casted [Moving Target].」
「When attacking a moving target, the next attack deals 3x damage..」
「Noir Mervoch casts [Precision Shot]…….」
「…….」
After beating dozens of people for over 10 minutes, the giant pulled out a new skill..
However, this time it is not passive.…….
「Hipramagent casted [Body Compression].」
It was a time of transformation.
[Unlike [Giant], it is a level 3 skill that reduces the body size by half and receives additional compensation in proportion to the size..
‘Even with that on, he’s taller than me..’
[Since it was a skill that was used in conjunction with [Giantization] and tested in various ways, it was not very difficult to respond to it..
“stop the attack!”
Just don't deal with it.
[Unlike [Giantization], that skill has a fixed duration..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The giant's fist is twice as strong and faster than before..
However, I left behind all the melee classes that had been relieving the burden and faced him alone..
Kwasik-!
Every time I got hit, my bones were broken.…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—!
Because we have a healer in our expedition team now..
One priest and one healer.
The two receive intensive care, and the special ability 'Recovery' is linked to the healing effect, so even if your body is shattered in real time, you will recover quickly..
Well, vivid pain is another thing..
“Aaaaaaaaa!!”
This is just evil, you just have to endure it.
「[[Body Compression] is released.」
As time passed, [Body Compression], which can be seen as a kind of wide pattern, ended, and the guy's body returned to its original state..
Therefore, close dealers came forward again and dealt hard..
Cooung-!
Soon, one of his ankles was completely destroyed and the giant fell to his knees, and from then on, the melee dealers also targeted his vital parts..
Before you know it, the giant has become completely ruined..
“Almost done!”
“Don't let your guard down until the end!”
With the odds clearly tilted, the members of the exploration team seemed confident of victory, but I was nervous..
Well, it's already been 25 minutes.
‘[The cooldown of [Crouch] was 30 minutes..’
In just 5 minutes, he will use [Crouching] again..
Then I have to repeat this again.…….
In fact, at that point, the raid should be considered a failure..
Since I used my MP sparingly this time, it will take a much longer time until my HP is all gone again..
‘Now that I know that I can't catch it if I don't have enough damage, I'll definitely catch it the next time I try.…….’
Still, it's a shame that it fails like this..
Is it time to bring it out again??
The worries were short-lived and the decisions were made quicker..
“Misha! Emily! It's a combination!”
Unfortunately, the two people currently competing for 1st and 2nd melee DPS on our team did not understand what I meant..
“……Yes? Ha, combination?”
Misha was embarrassed, holding a long sword in both hands, and Amelia looked at him from afar as if asking what kind of bullshit he was talking about..
Well, if you pretend, you have to pretend and understand..
“That's it, come here!”
But once I called, he stopped what he was doing and came running to me..
Therefore, rather than explaining, we moved to action..
Because you can't hold anything new while holding something in your hand..
First, I threw away the hammer and shield I was holding..
“Yes?”
“What are you doing?……!”
I grab Misha and Amelia's waist with my free hand..
and…….
Sigh.
Hold Misha and Amelia and pose as if holding a sword in both hands..
It's called Barbarian Samurai Mode..
“Yandel… You can't believe it……!”
Amelia seemed to soon realize what I was trying to do..
“Just leave the aura on. I'll take care of the rest..”
“Stop it! what nonsense—!”
“Misha, you hold your sword well too..”
“huh? Ah, okay!”
Okay, then I guess I got permission..
I swung the Missha Sword and Amelia Sword in earnest..
Well, what is the reason they couldn't land a critical hit??
It was because the giant was so big that it was causing pain down there..
but…….
‘If you do this, the story will be different..’
Puuk-!
The Amelia Sword held in her right hand penetrates deeply into the giant's skin. The dagger itself was short, but it didn't matter because the aura was elongated..
In the first place, there was not just one sword..
Suddenly-!
The Missha sword held in the left hand claws at the giant's neck..
Although it had lower cutting power than the Amelia sword, the Missha sword had other advantages..
Missha has an ice attribute..
Squeaky—
A cold film of ice sprouts along the wound area..
When you hit the same area one more time, the ice film breaks and the wound widens..
He didn't even flinch when I hit him with a hammer earlier..
‘this… dealer's sense……?’
Something hot is rising from underneath the danjeon..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
I couldn't hold back and shouted and swung the sword in both hands..
Then, a thought suddenly occurred to me:.
No, wait a minute..
Misha is a double sword, and Amelia is a double dagger.…….
“Sado style……?”
As I muttered that, for some reason, Amelia Sword revealed murderous intent to me..
“……I will kill you.”
Tsk, was it a cursed sword?.
Although I was worried about what would happen next, Amelia steadily activated her aura at the timing of my swing, and even when I got close, she moved her left and right arms and swung the dagger vigorously..
So 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes…….
[Woooooo…….]
As time passed, the giant who had been hacked to pieces, mainly his neck and heart, finally recovered..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
He fell to the ground with a loud noise..
[Approximately 40 seconds remain until [Crouch]'s cooldown expires..
Sigh.
The car was about to swing the Amelia Sword in a hurry to finish the job..
“……Why did it stop??”
When I stopped extending my hand, Amelia asked a question..
I didn't answer.
“…….”
As I thought that all I had to do now was catch it, a thought occurred to me..
There are two types of monsters on the first basement floor..
Regular monsters that give magic stones and essence.
And special monsters that leave corpses when killed..
Hipramagent is a monster that falls into the latter category..
but…….
‘Monsters that give magic stones and essence have a certain probability to leave a corpse when you cast a distortion spell on them..’
For reference, even wizards cannot explain in detail the principles of 'distortion' magic..
Just as in ancient times, striking a flint would ignite fire..
We are only using the phenomenon without properly understanding it yet..
That's why I suddenly became curious.
‘What happens if you cast a distortion spell on a person whose corpse remains?.’
I thought it was worth a try..
Haven't we already got a lot of corpse samples anyway?.
“Versil, use distortion magic.!”
An urgent order is given, and soon a transparent film covers the giant's body..
As soon as I confirmed this, I swung the Amelia Sword and the Missha Sword at the same time..
Puuk-!
The moment the four swords dug in at the same time, the giant's body, which was breathing heavily, went limp..
and…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
The giant's body turned into a halo of light and fluttered around..
***
「Defeated Hipramagent.」
「No.9999 Beginner's Luck has been activated.」
***
Immediately after Hipramagent's gigantic body turned into light and disappeared..
The sense of gaining experience did not bloom..
Something falls from empty space.
Tuk.
A giant magic stone the size of a fist.
But no one paid any attention to it.
Well, what's so important about magic stones??
“…Jeongsu-gun.”
“It's integer……!”
Essence dropped.
Could it be that beginner's luck was activated??
I was just trying to check if the body disappeared, but I never expected that the purified water would come out..
“Everyone step back.!!!!!”
When I shouted sensitively, the melee warriors who had discovered the essence and were approaching as if possessed flinched and stepped back..
“Oh, no, I just wanted to take a look.…….”
“That's enough, go away!”
Thanks to my strong shouting, the area around Jeongsu emptied out in an instant. Therefore, I calmed down a little and organized my thoughts calmly..
The emergence of Jeongsoo was welcome, but there was something a little disappointing..
‘Green... Nope…….’
Since the Orc hero's [Giantization] essence was green, it is highly likely that it is not [Giantization] essence..
‘If it's ultramarine blue... I think it’s [crouching].’
What should I do with this?.
First, put it in a test tube and think about it.?
‘Tsk, I think it would be okay to feed it to Einar... … . Since I don't know what passive means, I'm just feeding it..’
I'm a little worried.
[[Crouching] itself is very suitable for Einar..
The chronic problem of barbarian warriors, which is their survivability, can be eliminated with this skill.…….
‘If you feed it to Einar, you will be able to experiment to some extent on what passives are and what the basic stats are for essence.…….’
If you reach level 9 of the Immortal Engraving, linking becomes possible..
In that sense, if you're going to feed Einar, it's better to do so now because you can save on test tube costs.…….
Huh, what should I really do??
“Einar!”
“huh?”
“Do you want this essence??”
I first checked with the doctor, but the answer came back immediately, as expected..
“…Go, I want it.!!!”
“I still don’t know what embodied ability is or what the basic ability is.?”
“Well, it’s okay though.!!”
but… … . If your passive and stats are bad, you can just delete it from the temple later..
In the first place, the passive was somewhat predictable..
“Okay, you take this..”
“Is it true?!!”
“I'm sure everyone has no complaints?”
I asked about the Armin exploration team that had a 30% stake in the loot, but Armin did not express any complaints..
“Because priority belongs to the Baron..”
“I'm glad that's the case.”
“Even if it weren't for that, it would still be the same..”
“huh?”
“…Because we're not that shameless..”
Why did he suddenly have such low self-esteem??
I don't know, but now that the owner of the essence has been decided, there is no reason to drag on any longer..
“Bjorn… … . Can I eat this now?……?”
“Okay, eat it..”
After nodding, Einar ran over with great excitement and absorbed the essence..
「[Essence of Hypramargent] seeps into Einar Pnellin's soul..」
That's how Einar Pnellin learned [crouching]..
