Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 537
537flower rainbow (4)
8Calcheum, the City of Light, one of the floor rifts.
And there, the Rift Guardian appears in the final boss room..
Heavenly Spearkeeper, Milayel.
I don't know why this guy appeared in the general field..
But first, let's summarize this guy..
The biggest feature is the use of number items on monsters..
and…….
‘The drop rate of Verdant Geochang is as high as 3%..’
Other number items also drop, but 'Verdant Geochang', which is a single number, has the highest probability of dropping..
So, I remember catching a lot of changbaba when I was raising it. In most cases, the Verdant Geochang is used as a graduation weapon in the spear series..
Separately, the water purification itself was very good..
‘Anyway, leaving aside the question of why this guy came out here..’
As I said before, if you can catch this guy, there is one reward for sure..
If the essence comes out, it's a jackpot, and even if the weapon runs out, it's a jackpot..
However, the problem is our current condition..
‘I can't catch it.’
I finished my judgment quickly..
That guy in itself is not impossible to attack with our full strength..
But the situation is so bad.
‘First of all, it must be said that the priest is no longer able to do his job properly.……..’
Main dealer Erwen is also struggling..
No, that's all.?
Luckily, there have been no deaths yet, but everyone is already quite exhausted.…….
[Wow! Wow! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!]
[Ohhhhh—!]
There are still monsters around..
In fact, it is a situation where you have to worry about survival first rather than compensation..
“Yandel, what should I do??”
Amelia said to me in a solemn voice..
There was no need to make a decision.
“From now on, we rush towards the coast..”
“Coast… … ? Ah, it means to run away.—.”
“It means rushing towards the shore..”
“…….”
We have no choice other than that..
but…….
‘I guess I should do what I have to do before then..’
Even if it happens, you have to decide quickly before it happens..
After all, you can't just leave a level 2 essence on the floor, right?.
‘It is impossible to put it in a test tube..’
I'm greedy, but no matter how much I think about it, the risk is high..
It takes quite some time to put the purified water into the test tube..
The possibility of an accident occurring in the meantime is very high..
In other words, it ultimately has to be inserted into someone's body and then popped out.…….
‘Who should I feed it to??’
I was worried, but I made a decision quickly..
and…….
Kwaaaaang-!
Milayel dashed forward and blocked the outstretched spear with her shield and at the same time let out a sound..
“Mul Armin!”
Leader of the Armin Exploration Team, Mul Armin.
An unusual explorer who is the leader of a clan and has a necromancer class specializing in curses..
To be honest, it makes me a little sick to my stomach to hand over this precious thing to a complete stranger.…….
“Take the essence of Inmyeonjo.”
No matter how much you think about it, he's the right one..
Looking at it, it looks like he recently leveled up and got a constant number..
“……yes?
“Didn't you hear? hurry! There is no time!”
“Oh, I see.!”
The guy who was dumbfounded, as if he had heard something wrong, then flinched and ran forward, and Amelia protected him so that he could safely get to the front of Jeongsu..
“I really... Is that okay? I'm not even the Baron's colleague.…….”
Oh, what are you really saying?.
I'm already crazy because of this bastard's spearing..
“It doesn't matter, come on!”
“yes, old!”
Immediately after shouting as if urging, Mul Armin stretched out his hand and absorbed the essence..
Okay, then I took everything I needed here.…….
When I saw from the corner of my eye that the absorption of essence was complete, I pushed Milayel away with all my strength and increased the distance..
And quickly gave new instructions to the crew..
“What are you doing! Prepare a mobile formation!”
“…….”
“From now on, we will rush towards the coast with all our might.!”
“yes……?”
Ah, really, why is everyone so clueless??
“Let's jump out!”
“Ah, yes… … ! Everyone stand in mobile formation! From now on, run away with all your might.!”
Tsk, the barbarian baron will lose all his face..
***
“Whoo, whoo…….”
Running away with hot breath.
Oh, of course, this time it was not at the forefront, but at the very back of the main unit..
Because when you're being chased by something, the back is the most dangerous..
[Don't miss it, mortal..]
The guy who always spoke lines before battle in-game actually spoke human language just fine..
The problem is that like a parrot, you only repeat the same words..
‘Wow, how many times have I said that line already??’
I tried running away and talking to him a few times, but in the end I never got an answer. To be honest, I'm not even sure if that thing is intelligent anymore..
‘The monsters in the village of the chief definitely seemed intelligent..’
I realize again that the village chief's village was unique..
Actually, most monsters felt like this..
Cambormire, the Vampire Duke of the Bloody Citadel.
The knights of the apocalypse I met at the White Temple all spoke human, but conversation did not work.—.
「Heavenly Spearkeeper, Milayel casted [Recursion].」
Well, I'm thinking about people..
Hehehey profit-!
As soon as a threatening sound is heard from behind, I turn around and cover my upper body with my shield..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Oh, that damn window.
It feels like the shield is going down in real time every time you block..
Since it applies to single number weapons and skills, it must be said that it is absolutely delicious.?
‘Well, there's nothing wrong with using just one skill..’
For reference, this was a phenomenon that occurred because Milayel had the characteristics of a ‘guardian’..
Rift Guardians have a set pattern..
HP is reduced, nearby devices are activated, etc. If you do not pass that specific section, you will repeat the same actions within the set frame..
‘If it had been a regular 'Titanus', it probably wouldn't have been able to escape like this..’
Of course, that doesn't mean he's an easy opponent..
That skill used in the first phase can never be ignored..
「Heavenly Spearkeeper, Milayel casted [Recursion].」
[recursion].
A very simple throwing-only skill that increases damage when it is determined to be impossible to evade..
However, there is one very troubling characteristic attached to this..
「Milayel, the Heavenly Spearkeeper, has recovered the Verdant Spear..」
Once thrown, the thrown weapon will return to the caster's hand after a certain period of time, regardless of the distance..
and…….
「The power of [Recursion] increases slightly until the battle ends..」
Should I call it a kind of stack-type skill??
The more this pattern is repeated, the more powerful it becomes..
And thanks to that.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The shield that could even block the village chief's sword is having holes in it..
Ha, it's difficult to repair it here..
I took a moment to sigh while looking at the completely battered shield, and first checked the situation at the front..
It looks like you're following from behind, but it wasn't too difficult to look ahead because you were looking down from above through [Giantization]..
‘Surprisingly, things are going well..’
I don't want the line to collapse or have major setbacks in clearing the path just because I'm missing from the lead..
No, I expected it to look like this..
But why do I still feel empty?.
‘That’s it… Let me just mind my own business..’
The duty of a warrior is to quietly do one's job regardless of whether anyone knows or not..
How long has it been since I took charge of Millayel's spear work and marked it while falling behind the main team?.
“It's the sea!”
A cliff appeared between the lush giant trees, and as soon as I jumped down, the coastline I saw when I first came to this island appeared.—.
「Heavenly Spearkeeper, Milayel casted [Recursion].」
Oh, isn't he really tired?.
The spear that pierced the shield turns into light and disappears just as quickly as it flies again..
Puuk-!
But for some reason, this time the pain blooms in my shoulder..
I think I raised my shield at the right time to block it.…….
“ah.”
There was a hole in the shield, so I was able to pass through..
“rain, bjorn!”
“Yandel! Are you okay?!”
Misha and Amelia, who were in the lead, came up to me in surprise..
Also, Versil hurriedly took out a potion on behalf of the priest who had run out of divine power..
But I rejected all such concerns.
“later. The first thing to do is to launch the boat.”
“ah…….”
There was still some time left before the spear was recovered, so I quickly made my way through the crowd and ran to the shore..
“uh…….”
“Uh oh…….”
“that… Are you okay??”
The explorers who were busy clearing a path were shocked when they saw my appearance and cleared the way..
Well, it's strange that I'm not surprised when there's a giant barbarian running with a spear the size of a spear stuck in his shoulder..
Wow!-!
He quickly summoned the ship, went into [Giant] state, grabbed the explorers by hand, and placed them on the deck..
After everyone got on board, I returned to my original size and boarded the ship, and then took off, pouring magical stones into the magic engineering propulsion device..
As the boat moved away from the island so quickly, I thought I could take a breather..
「Heavenly Spearkeeper, Milayel casted [Recursion].」
Once more the spear flew and hit my abdomen..
“Hey, Mr. Yandel.……!”
“Baron!!”
Oh my god…….
Even as I bent over and held my aching stomach, I raised my head and glared at the guy standing on the shore..
Yes, I remembered the face correctly.…….
“See you next.”
A barbarian never forgets his enemies.
***
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The boat sails through the silver waves..
The deck is almost cramped with this many people on board, but no one is complaining..
Is there somewhere you can sit and rest?.
Everyone is satisfied with the current situation and is relaxing. Oh, of course, some of the explorers had dark shades on their faces..
“One dead person…….”
While escaping the island, a warrior from Clan Hetz was killed..
after… It's always a warrior who dies at times like this..
As a fellow warrior, I can't help but feel bitter whenever I hear news like this..
“It's a bit hard to say this, but... It's a miracle. The fact that only one person died.”
“Yeah, that's probably true. What was the name of the dead guy??”
“Sheliane Emmertown.”
As soon as I heard the name, a face came to mind..
I didn't have much conversation with her in private, but she caught my eye because she was a rare female warrior in this industry..
He always had a bright smile on his face..
“The body is?”
“I was able to retrieve it and bring it back..”
“Good thing…….”
At the end of that conversation, I called the explorers together and told them to hold a funeral for the dead explorer..
Everyone was exhausted and worn out, but no one objected to what he said..
Grumbling-!
Of course, the funeral held in the labyrinth, and even on board, was simple. The body was burned on an incombustible cloth and then placed in an urn..
Kuuuung-! Kwasik-! Kwasik-!
Even during the funeral, monsters periodically fell from the sky. Well, it was blocked by the barrier placed on the ship and fell into the sea..
Rumbling.
Like a window on a rainy day, the blood on the barrier clumps together in the form of drops and flows down..
“rest in peace.”
“Haha, don't be too upset. We don't know when we will catch up..”
“Write, don’t you know that words become seeds??”
As explorers who were close to death, light jokes popped up even in a solemn atmosphere..
But no one caught that joke..
everyone knows.
Everyone has different ways of enduring it..
“It's over. Take a break. And everyone had a hard time.”
After the funeral, I was free to rest again..
The wizards could not rest completely comfortably by maintaining the barrier, but it was still much better than when the barrier was deployed on the island..
This is because as soon as the ship was out at sea, the magic engineering propeller was removed, remodeled, and the magic circuit connected..
‘There are enough magic stones, and there are not as many monsters running out as expected, so if there are no major problems, I think I can last long enough until the rainy season ends.…….’
Can we really take a breather now??
Even as I leaned back against the wall thinking those thoughts, my mind was complicated. So I just searched around in subspace and took out a temporary shield..
Of course, it was a grade 3 shield whose performance was far inferior to that used before. At the time, I didn't have much free money, and even though I had prepared this in the first place, I was wondering if the day would ever come when I would actually use it..
‘But the day has really come.’
As I was smiling self-deprecatingly, someone came next to me..
“Baron.”
It was Muhl, the leader of the Armin exploration team..
“What's going on? without stopping.”
“I'm sorry you're taking a break. but… There's one thing I'd like to ask you..”
“Try it.”
Even though I gave permission, Muhl hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth..
“Why was it?”
“What does it mean??”
“that… This is the essence of Inmyeonjo. Why did you give it to me??”
Ah, I came here because I was curious about that..
First of all, the answer is very simple..
First of all, Einar, Amelia, Erwen, and Misha were not even nominated..
These guys have a set amount of essence to eat..
Bersil is a wizard so he can't drink essence..
‘If I had to choose a candidate, it would be Auyen.…….’
In fact, it is not an essence that suits Auyen either..
[Depending on the situation, you can contribute to the battle by imitating the monster's skills using [Mimicking], but should that be all??
It's the same as throwing away the passive skill that is the core of Inmyeonjo's essence..
So in the end, I chose Mule..
“You were the one who could best utilize that essence..”
“that is… Do you mean everything??”
To tell the truth, it is not so..
Doesn’t the Armin Exploration Team have an exploration stake?.
Since we had already deposited the level 2 water in advance, we also judged that we would not be able to provide an opinion when we took it later..
but…….
‘There's no need to say things like that..’
So I just shrugged..
“Yeah, that's it..”
“but! We ended up—.”
“How can you be someone else? We have already become colleagues.”
“dong… Ryo……?”
“Yeah, but is there a problem??”
In response to my calm answer, Armin didn't say anything for a moment, and a moment of silence passed..
“The Baron…….”
Muhl, who was about to say something in a somewhat quiet voice, shook his head..
“no. Let's go now. rest in peace.”
I don't know for sure, but he looked like he had decided on something big..
***
6th day since the rainy season began.
The voyage after escaping the island was peaceful..
We hit the monsters that were climbing onto the ship all the time, and even then, monsters continued to fall from the sky..
Still, it was nothing compared to the mess we experienced while escaping the island..
Anyway, as the peaceful time continued, I had time to organize my thoughts and check my plans.…….
‘Okay, I decided..’
As soon as I took out a pendant that had been carefully stored away in subspace, Missha next to me lit up..
“Uh, Bjorn? that…….”
“…….”
“if… Me, to give myself……?”
What do you say, this guy.
You have to covet what you covet.
I read the greed in his eyes and quickly put the pendant back into subspace..
No.7777 Garfas’ Necklace.
Now is the time to try this.
