Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 530
530Tue Escape Plan (3)
spirit level.
Each explorer's expression of the unique sensation that comes when the level rises is different..
Some people say they feel full.
Even those who felt the fulfillment of being connected to their loved one.
Some people say it looks like they were drunk and suddenly woke up..
When having a conversation, they end up agreeing on one expression..
It's difficult to explain in words, but.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
A feeling as if something from the outside seeps into me, making my existence thicker. I felt that feeling so clearly even during the battle..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
8level has been reached.
It was much faster than I had expected..
To be honest, I thought it would take another year before I came down to the basement level..
‘If I do this, can I eat two more purified water?.’
Even in my opinion, this is an abnormal growth rate..
According to statistics compiled by the guild, the average time it takes to go from level 7 to level 8 is about 6 years..
Even this is a statistic obtained only for those who broke through the blocking wall and reached level 8, and does not include those who retired from explorer life at level 7.—.
Kwasik-!
Stop thinking and swing the hammer.
‘Think about it later.’
Leaving behind the Orc warrior who became light and disappeared, I quickly scanned the surroundings to check the situation..
“Huh... Heo Eok…….”
Just 30 minutes after the rainy season began.
The explorers and monster warriors swinging their weapons vigorously under the barrier spread above like an umbrella have a clear look of exhaustion on their faces..
But, even in that situation.
“essence… … ! Jeongsoo came out.!”
“Tsk… … ! Whose was it? Anyone who has seen it! Has anyone seen it??”
“…Yes, I saw it! It's from Von Drake.!”
“4What a grade! What are you doing! Without taking care of it quickly!”
When the essence runs out, the wizard runs to the test tube, and while the essence is contained, explorers and warriors desperately guard the wizard..
“hey! What should I do now? It's not the time to collect magic stones.!”
“ah… ah! I'm just afraid of tripping... Okay!”
A bizarre sight that makes an explorer look after a magic stone..
Well, but what can I do? If you go around and pick up magic stones, the number of things to do increases several times..
In the first place, magic stones do not disappear like purified water; they only stop when collected after the rainy season.—.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
At that time, something huge fell on the barrier..
The impact was so great that even though it was caught in the air, the ground shook just from the impact..
[Whoa whoa whoa—!]
I looked up, wondering what the hell was going on, and made eye contact with a giant looking down at me from the cracked barrier..
“It's Hipramagent.……!”
Yes, it fell from the sky again this time..
I didn't see you for a while today.
Squeaky-
“Baron! The damage to the barrier is over 70%.!”
Because it fell right from above, the time we were able to survive during the rainy season was shortened..
It was thanks to this huge umbrella that it was possible to fight when monsters were falling from the sky..
“I… It's me, Baron! I'm satisfied with this and the first thing to do is go down to the village and do maintenance.—.”
“Everyone stay in your seats.!”
“Where are you going, Baron?!”
“First, let’s get that guy out of the barrier..”
With those words, I went out of the umbrella..
Coo! Quang! Powok-!
Head, back, shoulders, waist…….
As I went outside, monsters raining down from the sky hit my body in [Giant] state and conveyed the shock of falling..
It was quite an amazing experience.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
I just hit my body and the monsters died instantly and disappeared..
Would every battle be like this if the ultra-reflective settings were used??
Apart from those foolish thoughts, I moved as carefully as possible..
If I were to step on water like this, it would be a big problem..
Unless you are a saint or a saint, removing essence is only possible in a temple..
‘zero difference.’
As soon as I easily jumped up and stood on the translucent barrier, the explorers looked up at me from below and began to murmur..
“……The Baron climbed up the barrier.!”
“how… What are you trying to do??”
“We can't help you in this situation.…….”
Well, you will know when you see it..
[Whoa……?]
Soon, I grabbed Hipramagent's hair, which was stretched across the barrier, with both hands..
and…….
“The Baron brings down the giant!!”
“That… It makes sense.?”
“I feel it again... … . I'm not a person.”
I use all my strength to pull the guy down, using the fact that the barrier is sloped like a roof..
[Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh!!]
The guy was embarrassed by the situation he was experiencing for the first time and started struggling, but in the end, it had a positive effect on me as well..
Kwaang-!
The guy who tried to raise that big body up on the barrier, but slipped and fell down..
Squeaky-!
In the process, the barrier was further damaged, but this was an unavoidable problem..
[Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh……!!]
Soon, the guy lying on the ground above the barrier cries out in frustration..
By the way, it’s not like the guy who farted gets angry..
‘Where should I close my business??’
I took the brunt of its roar and didn't even blink..
No, on the contrary, he responded with a fierce shout..
“Wowaaaaaaaa!!!!”
But did this action serve as an opportunity to make him realize that I was a formidable enemy??
“……Oh, the giant steps back!”
“The giant was pushed back by the Baron's momentum.!”
The giant guy slowly retreats from his prone position while looking at me..
I felt like someone was looking at my liver, so I quickly picked up a hammer and hit the bridge of my nose with the hammer..
Powok-!
It didn't seem like there was any major damage..
But for the entity called Hipramagent, this was enough..
[right… Woooooooooo!!]
The giant immediately turns around and starts running..
“Oh, the giant is running away!”
Okay, go quickly..
You coward—.
flash-!
uh?
The moment I turned around at the sudden flash of light.
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
A sword shining white shoots out in a straight line like a spear was thrown..
and…….
deeply.
Eventually, the sword got stuck in the giant's neck..
Kwakwakwakwaaaaang-!
It just exploded.
「Defeated Hipramagent.」
The body of a giant who loses his head and collapses without even having time to cast a distortion spell..
“Dead… say?”
That guy in one shot……?
“…….”
“…….”
All the explorers, including me, swallowed their saliva and looked at one place..
To be exact, the starting point where that sword was first thrown.
“Why do you look at me like that? Wasn't that what you were trying to catch??”
There was a village chief there..
With the same expressionless face as ever.
***
A village of monsters who call themselves humans.
And the village chief there, the dragon knight Cornelius Brungrid..
In fact, the reason I brought him to this Burning event was because I wanted to indirectly check his power..
but…….
‘What is this guy?…….’
The skills he showed in front of us for the first time were shocking enough..
You caught with one shot what even Erwen couldn't catch with one shot.?
‘I knew there was definitely a secret hidden inside.…….’
I never would have thought it was this much of a monster..
For some reason, I feel a chill down my spine..
“What is it? Didn’t they say you have to become strong to escape? Do you want to go back from here??”
“…No way.”
It wasn't a good time to think about the village chief's military power, so for now I just focused on dealing with the monsters..
And how long has it passed?.
“Baron! I can't hold on any longer!”
“…I'm going down to the village now..”
We held on from above until we reached the point where the barrier was about to disappear and then went down to the village again..
and…….
“Everyone take a break!”
First, we took a break at the entrance and started with maintenance..
The wizard lies down and meditates, recovering MP..
The priest and healer went around providing healing to the injured, and Versil started counting the number of people..
“Casualties?”
“There are a total of twelve injured. There are three minor injuries and nine serious injuries..”
“Are there any deaths??”
“It seems like some of the village warriors are dead... … . None of us.”
“Good thing.”
As the conversation continued to that point, the village chief appeared behind me without showing any sign of popularity..
“It's all over.”
Wow, I’m surprised..
“all… I can't believe it's over?”
“This means that the entrance to the village has been closed. Now I can't go outside until the rainy season ends..”
Ah, that's what you said.
“Is it impossible to open and close it??”
“It's impossible.”
It was disappointing in many ways.
If that had been the case, from now on, we could have been a small elite group going out and coming back in to pick up unclaimed essences..
‘They said it's not okay to leave the entrance open and catch monsters under the village. There is a high possibility that the 'door' will be permanently damaged.…….’
It's a shame that the burning event ended like this, but I quickly let go of the regret..
Now I had a more pressing question than that..
“Chief, what was that earlier??”
“that?”
“A shining sword. I've never heard of such a thing..”
“That's right.”
“That's not it—.”
As I was about to say something, the village chief cut me off and opened his mouth..
“But is there a reason why I need to tell you first??”
“uh…….”
surely… If you say that, it's not like I have anything to say.
I was embarrassed and looked around for a moment when the village chief looked at me intently and said..
“As you said, there was a deal between you and me. We were going to help you, and you were going to find a way out of here..”
“……however?”
“You focus on what you have to do. Don't be curious in a strict place.”
Let’s each do our own thing.…….
It's not wrong, but why does it sound so cheap??
“Many warriors were killed and injured in this incident. I'll just go take care of them..”
“Uh, okay.”
“Come visit me later when you have time. Let's talk more then.”
Afterwards, the village chief led the warriors into the village first, and we soon headed to the shelter provided within the village..
And immediately began settling the loot..
“This is a list of essences acquired this time..”
Let's see…….
“3Two grades, seven grade 4s, and one grade 5.…….”
This is an income that is not enough to call me crazy..
Since the rainy season started, I have been outside for less than two hours. This isn't even the only thing I gained from this battle..
“Oh, and Mr. Tercia and Mr. Rockrobe's soul level increased in this battle..”
Auyen is now level 7. Even so, it was very meaningful that Erwen's level went up one more level to 8..
This means that by eating the essence of chaos, there is an empty space in the place of the full essence..
“The level of my soul has also increased..”
Soon, when I revealed that my level had risen, the surroundings became noisy..
“what? Bjorn! Is that really true?!”
“There were three slopes at once. Well, shall we have a banquet tonight??”
“What is a banquet?…….”
Normally, when a colleague levels up, the national rule is to end it with just ‘ㅊㅊ’..
“Ugh… I thought I barely caught up, but am I the only one falling behind again?!”
Einar clenched his fists with an angry expression..
That's right, he's still level 7.
Oh, of course, I don't think there will be much experience left until leveling up..
He'll probably be the one to level up next..
“congratulations… Bjorn.”
At that time, Misha came over and congratulated me..
Unlike Einar, there was no impatience..
Well, he's already level 8.
2It’s a natural result since I’ve been bullied by Lee Baek-ho for over a year..
Oh, by the way, Amelia's level is full 8..
2He said that when he first met me on the floor, he had just become level 8, so I think he will be able to reach level 9 by the time he leaves here.…….
“Is this why everyone was so eager to find a new area? The clan's growth rate is unbelievable.…….”
When Einar reaches level 8, there will be five people in a 7-person clan who are only level 8..
If you fill in all the empty spaces with essence, you will become much stronger than you are now..
“Anyway, I'm planning on distributing it soon.…….”
After the harvest was counted, settlement began under the leadership of Bersil. Since there are no items to be picked up with priority, the Armin Exploration Team, which has a 30% share of the exploration income, is.
“We would like to receive the essence of Lakrell, Malacca, and the essence of the Demon World Chaser..”
One grade 3 essence and two grade 4 essences were paid in a legitimate manner, and the next was Hetz Clan..
Well, actually, these are unpaid slaves.…….
“Take your pick too. Is there something you want??”
“yes? Can we do that?….”
“Aren’t they comrades who fought together? And only when you become stronger here will we feel at ease. So don't think of it as money, but choose the essence you need..”
We need to provide this level of welfare so that no problems arise later..
“then… We'll use these three integers..”
Soon, the Hetz Clan consulted with its members and chose two grade 4 and one grade 5..
3Is it my last conscience to not choose a grade??
‘I need to keep this for now..’
After the settlement was over, free time was given..
The explorers, exhausted from the previous battle, dispersed to rest, and those who obtained the new essence set off to test the new essence with shining eyes even though they were exhausted..
“It seems like it's been a while since we've been alone.”
“Iknow, right.”
“Yandel, when are you going to visit the village chief??”
“First, take a break today and maybe tomorrow.”
“is it…….”
“By the way, the Silver Lion Clan did not appear until the end..”
“There is a high possibility that he is dead. They were greedy compared to their skills..”
Afterwards, we all ate together and talked, and then each person acted freely..
“Take a quick look around.”
“Can you help me??”
“That's fine then.”
Amelia scouts with Erwen.
“I… Can I go out too? I'm not very tired…….”
Einar goes out, saying he is coming to meet a monster friend who works at a blacksmith shop..
“Bjorn… I'm going to get some rest. See you later…….”
“me too… I'm tired after what happened..”
Misha and Auyen went into the room and tried to sleep..
So, before I knew it, only me and Bersil were left in the living room..
“what are you going to do?”
“I'm going to meditate some more. I used too much magic this time and my head hurt a bit..”
“Right.”
“What about Mr. Yandel??”
“I plan to read a book and then sleep..”
With those words, I went into the room, turned on the magic lamp, and opened the book..
For some reason, I couldn't concentrate on the contents of the book at all..
‘Cornelius Brungrid.’
How strong is this guy?.
It seems like there is a possibility that he still possesses all the essences he had when he was human..
If we all play together, will we be able to win??
No, in the first place.
‘If he tries to kill us…….’
Will I be able to protect my colleagues then?.
While thinking about this and that, I laid down on my desk and fell asleep..
“Yandel, wake up!.”
“…Yes?”
When I woke up, Amelia had already returned and was shaking my shoulder..
At first, I thought he was going to nag me like usual while I was getting out of bed.…….
‘Those eyes are the expression you make when something happens..’
“…What's going on??”
I quickly came to my senses and asked, and Amelia placed an iron dagger on the desk..
“What is this?”
“This is a weapon found in a blacksmith shop in this village..”
“uh… however?”
I tilted my head and Amelia winked as if telling me to take a good look..
So, I was observing the dagger carefully..
“…….”
Goosebumps rose up my spine..
“This... Found it in a blacksmith shop?”
The dagger had the emblem of the Silver Lion Clan engraved on it..
