Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 528
528Tue Escape Plan (1)
A colleague's specs have improved for the first time in a very long time..
This event seemed very positive to me because Erwen was drinking like crazy after drinking the essence of chaos..
Well, we will know the exact details only after we properly investigate Jeongsoo’s specifications..
I was about to approach Einar and ask him in detail about what had changed..
“Yandel.”
“…huh?”
Feeling a chill for some reason, I turned around and saw Amelia giving me cold eyes..
“I want to talk about something that happened a little while ago..”
“ah…….”
It's coming.
Since you haven't said anything until now, I thought you just ignored it..
Did I keep waiting because I missed the timing when the essence came out??
“ah! You mean what happened earlier?!”
I smiled brightly and approached Amelia, praising her for her contribution in the battle..
“It's all thanks to you and Misha that I caught this giant. If it weren't for you two, he would have recovered again, and if that had happened, the hunt would have failed! Thank you for your hard work! Einar! You should say thank you quickly too?”
“Thank you!”
Even though Einar and I expressed our sincere gratitude, Amelia's expression showed little agitation..
“indeed… Does it come out that way?.”
Yes, you read all my moves..
This is a little difficult.
It was a time when I was trying to figure out what to do with the eyes that seemed to have not changed but seemed to have become a little colder..
“Karlstein, why are you quiet??”
Amelia seems to be pushing me further into a corner and is trying to call in reinforcements..
However, in the end it was a handshake.
“…Yes?”
“Please voice your opinion properly too. If you don't say that you don't like what you don't like, you'll end up just suffering.—.”
“uh? I don't really feel anything……?”
“……what?”
Amelia was taken aback by the very calm answer and asked back..
“that is… What does it mean??”
A question that makes you feel like you don't really understand.
Misha must have sensed this, looked at Amelia, glanced at me, and opened his mouth slightly..
“that… I… I think it helped now... … . So I didn't feel too bad or anything.…….”
It wasn't like anyone was making excuses..
It seems like he was just telling the truth as it is..
“Karlstein, you…….”
“…huh?”
“…No, it's done..”
Amelia pursed her lips, looking like she had a lot left to say. And she looked at me and sighed and she just said this.
“That's all for today. I'll be watching, Yandel..”
It seems like I lost my temper after hearing Misha's answer.…….
Okay, then this problem ends here..
“Einar, do you notice any changes??”
“uh… I'm not sure yet! It seems like my strength has gotten stronger, but.”
The remaining personnel were placed on alert and began to check on the newly acquired essence..
Let’s start with the active skills.
“Then lie down..”
When I gave my instructions, Einar crouched down without saying a word. A posture that perfectly matches what Hipramagent showed earlier..
“Now, try using this ability..”
There was no need for long words.
「Einar Pnellin casted [Crouching].」
Maybe it's the first integer. Einar, who had already consumed and used several essences, skillfully activated the newly acquired skill..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
In a crouching position, a yellow translucent membrane rises upward as if to protect the user..
「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..」
[As a result of several experiments while [Crouching] was active, the skill itself was identical to that of the ogre..
I wondered if there might be some difference in skills..
‘The increase in resistance and regeneration seems to be similar..’
[It also coincides with the fact that the ability value increases in proportion to the damage received while [Crouching] is cast, but it does not work on people..
Probably only applies to monsters like in the game..
“I… Could we possibly help you??”
Afterwards, as I was about to check my abilities, three wizards from the exploration team approached me..
“that… When I entered the labyrinth this time, I also brought a water purification test kit... … . It may not be as helpful as the lab, but it will be quite helpful..”
“Oh, yes then. get some help.”
It was much better than just being stubborn and saying things like getting stronger or something, so I obediently left Einar to the trio..
And how long has it passed?.
Detailed numbers are unknown, and it is said that there are several special stats that cannot be captured with the kit..
Still, approximate basic stat information was derived..
Strength (above), natural regeneration (above), physical resistance (above)).
Constant horsepower (medium), bone strength (medium), lung capacity (medium)).
Vision (low), Patience (low), Mana Responsiveness (low)).
and…….
“There is one weakening ability..”
There is only one negative stat.
“Weakening ability? what? Hurry up and say it.”
At my urging, one of the wizards glanced at Einar and said,.
“It's a fighting spirit..”
It was a completely unexpected stat..
but…….
“Because of the fighting spirit…….”
Now that I think about it, Einar is being strangely calm right now..
In the past, we would have stopped doing boring experiments like this and just hunted down monsters to check..
“how… How weakened is it??”
I asked for detailed numbers, but the wizard simply replied that it was difficult to find out that much with the current equipment..
Therefore, we decided to use a primitive method..
“Einar! I'm bored. Would you like to spar??”
The Barbarian will not refuse to spar under any circumstances..
In the first place, sparring is no different from play..
If you go to the barbarian-only lodgings, you can see warriors fighting in the open space from morning until night..
But what is this?.
“Dalian… … ? Umm…….”
It's not enough that Einar, the Upper Barbarian among the barbarians, blurted his words as if he didn't feel like it..
“…Do it later! later! Isn’t it time to do research first?!”
Saying no?
‘For some reason, that giant guy kept running away too.…….’
How much has your fighting spirit been lost??
***
The explorer I saw yesterday and the explorer I saw today are different people..
This is a phrase that usually expresses the sword-like aspect of explorers, but it is actually not wrong in itself..
In order to explore a labyrinth full of monsters, one must consume essence, and it was all too common for that essence to affect the explorer's personality..
Like Einar now.
“fight? Well, you do it if you do it… … . Is there even a need to look for it? It's peaceful and nice now…….”
The barbarian female warrior, who until a few minutes ago had considered defeating monsters and proving her bravery her pleasure in life, changed in an instant..
“battle cry.”
“…huh?”
“Let out a battle cry. practice.”
“Behel… Laa……?”
“Holy shit.”
This is not something to laugh about, the situation is serious..
It's not that things didn't happen, but in the end, Einar's greatest strength was his recklessness..
“Yandel… Is it okay to be like that??”
“…It's scary when Mr. Pnellin acts like that..”
Other colleagues who heard the indifferent battle cries also realized the seriousness and spoke to me cautiously..
They must have been worried because the person they had to fight at the front was doing something like that..
But right now, there is no other way..
The essence I'm going to feed you next has a lot of fighting spirit attached to it, so if you eat it, you'll feel better.…….
‘Will this situation continue until then?.’
I'm really curious again.
How much of your fighting spirit has been lost??
This guy's basic tendency is to be aggressive, so just cutting him off by a few tens won't have made it this far.…….
‘I'd say it's at least -100..’
In that sense, I was a little worried too..
It was positive that non-combat stats such as fighting spirit were negative rather than strength, but it should be to a certain extent..
‘…Doesn't mean that's what happens if I eat it.’
Even when I consume this essence, 40% of the fighting spirit attached to the Orc hero will have disappeared, so the change will be even more noticeable..
“What is the ability to embody? Is there any way to find out??”
First, I decided to find out what the passive was..
“In the case of embodied abilities, it is difficult to reveal them using the experimental tools we have. However, you can find out what type it is..”
“Try it.”
When permission was given, the wizards approached Einar with various experimental tools, and returned with the results about 30 minutes later..
“The Embodiment ability appears to be a support type. The numerical change is the largest in that direction..”
“It's not a survival or defense class.?”
“There is a signal there too, but it is minimal..”
It was a completely different result than expected..
When I saw that he didn't die instantly even after being pierced through the head, I secretly thought it was him..
[Last Resistance], [Heart of the Phoenix], [A lifetime of survival]]…….
I was just thinking about those candidates, but I never thought that wasn't the case..
‘Then what is it?’
Since we don't know, we tested as much as we could right away..
“Einar, it will sting a little..”
“I don't like being sick…….”
“It's because there's something wrong with your head right now..”
“Oh, I see.?”
In the end, I tested it by cutting off one finger and was unable to find any meaningful data..
This is the same thing in sparring, where you persuade someone who is unwilling to do it..
“…The sparring ends here..”
“oh? Really??”
In the end, I decided to look into passive later when I had time. It's already been a long time since I found out this far..
“Come on, let's go.”
So the exploration resumed again..
***
During the three days we had on the island, we explored it thoroughly without wasting as much time as possible..
First of all, the top goal is to complete the island map..
In the process, of course, we had to encounter numerous monsters, and among them was Hipramagent..
In his case, did you meet him about eight times??
Three times I skipped it because there were two of them together, and twice I failed because it succeeded in escaping..
As a result, three more raids were successful..
However, this time I didn't even get the magic stone all three times..
That's because the distortion magic failed..
‘If the distortion magic succeeds, you have to go through the probability of getting essence again.…….’
I didn't even think about it at first, but then I realized it again..
How lucky I was that I got the essence on my first try..
For entities whose bodies disappear, the difficulty in obtaining their essence was at an insane level..
‘Jeongsoo, even if you do it because you have ‘beginner’s luck’, if the distortion magic doesn’t succeed… … . It probably didn't work in the first place either..’
Anyway, apart from that, as I fought the Hipramagent repeatedly, I learned more about this guy..
‘Although it was written in the village chief's book that it was a level 2 estimate,…….’
No matter how I looked at it, it wasn't level 2..
To begin with, the size of the magic stone is almost the same as that of the highest grade 3 stone..
Well, because of [crouching], the minimum damage required for strategy is high.…….
As survivability is high, attack power is low..
That must also be taken into account before measuring the grade..
‘then… Including living in a group, I think it would be about a 2.7 grade..’
Well, I guess that's roughly the case..
It's strange that it's classified as level 2 even though it doesn't have any level 2 skills in the first place..
I suddenly became a little suspicious of the authenticity of the information written in the village chief's book, but I decided to view this as a special case..
Even in the book, he didn't say in advance that he didn't witness it himself, but wrote down what he saw and heard.—.
“at las… I'm getting off this island..”
As I was gathering my thoughts as I watched the island getting further and further away, Wight Hetz came up next to me..
“That face looks relieved, doesn’t it? They haven't found a way to get back to the city yet..”
“still… … . It's much better than being stuck on that island. At that time, I really had no idea what would happen..”
I think it's still the same now, but I didn't say it..
Because even at the bottom, there are ups and downs..
It would be much better now that I have something to believe in.—.
——————————!
At that moment, a gust of wind blew from the island and the ship shook violently..
‘what?’
I was in a hurry to call Erwen at the observatory..
Wight Hetz, who was next to him, pointed to a place with his finger..
“There, there……!”
excuse me? What is there?
I was looking at it and tilting my head to see what was going on, but then my body stiffened. No, not just me, but all the explorers standing on deck were the same..
“…….”
“…….”
In the distance, in the center of the island that was getting smaller and smaller, something stood up and glared at us..
While letting out a ferocious scream.
[Ooooooooooooooooo——!]
But the good news is that it only makes noise from afar and doesn't seem to have any intention of running to follow right away..
“Um, what is that?…….”
I muttered softly as I looked at the completely mesmerized Wight Hetz..
“I guess the friend who died at that time didn't see anything..”
A super giant with a height of over 40m.
Among the monarchs of this class, there was no one of this size..
I have no idea how to run raids at that size..
But, nevertheless.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
I thought to myself as I drove away from the island on a speeding boat, as if I was running away from him..
‘To escape from this island, I feel like I have to catch that guy too.…….’
How should I catch him??
