Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 542

542Hwa Fresh Green Geochang (4)

No.7 Milayel’s Verdant Geochang.

This number item, which is also a graduation weapon in the spear series, is a weapon with an appropriate mix of damage and tank balance..

The reason I started researching the Spear Baba in the first place was because of the high survivability of this weapon..

‘But no matter what I did, I ended up becoming something similar to a berserker..’

Of course, that doesn't mean the Berserker class is bad..

If there is a main tank of the same level in the team, it can produce quite good performance, and can also act as an auxiliary tank in a crisis..

but…….

“Hmm…….”

Even just thinking about cancer is vague..

“Everyone, clean up your surroundings..”

“yes?”

“I'll be leaving soon!”

“Ahhh… ancient!”

Everyone seemed curious about who the owner of that weapon would be, but they decided to continue their worries by launching the boat first and leaving the island..

Because it’s not a matter that can be decided so haphazardly..

“It's departure!”

Soon the boat carrying everyone begins to move through the silver waves..

And how long has it passed??

“mister! Look over there!”

In the center of the island, which is getting smaller, a huge giant stands up, looks at us, and lets out a ferocious roar..

[Ooooooooooooooooo——!]

…Why does he always do that when he goes out??

***

I continued to think deeply until I arrived at my destination, Library Island..

Who will you give this weapon to?.

‘Ah, we made eye contact again.’

While I was looking around to see if I could find some answer, my eyes crossed with a man..

He was a spearman of the Hetz Clan..

As he was the only one among this many people who used a spear, he didn't dare to say anything, but it seemed like he was harboring some expectations..

thus…….

Swish.

I quickly turned my head.

Well, I have to covet what I covet..

This weapon belongs to Clan Anavada..

It has already been decided that way. So my only concern is deciding which member of my clan to give it to..

‘First of all, there is no need to worry about Erwen or Versil..’

Same goes for Amelia and Misha..

Misha has already used the ice dual-wielding tree, and in Amelia's case, she is not suitable for spears because she uses Aura..

Auyen is not a combat class in the first place..

According to the method of elimination, the only thing left is Einar.…….

“huh? Are you going to eat it too??”

When our eyes met, Einar smiled and handed me the beef jerky he was holding dearly..

Once I received it, I chewed it, swallowed it, and continued thinking..

‘……At least I'll talk about the one that can bring out the most creative performance.?’

[Natural regeneration increases in proportion to the duration of the battle.]

[All recovery series effects increase 3 times.]

These two rows of options are compatible with the ‘Battle Learning’ and ‘Predation’ of the ‘Slayer’ inscription..

[It also has natural regeneration skills such as [Wings of Greed] and [Crouching], so when combined with these, you will have a truly monstrous recovery speed..

Chang Baba, whom I raised in the first place, was also imprinted as a ‘slayer’ and was filled with skills like that..

But the problem here is…….

‘The moment you pick up the spear, you have to throw away a few skills..’

First of all, the level 4 skill [Repeated Cut]].

It is not impossible to cast with a spear, but the effect of increasing penetration damage is not visible..

[Wild Control], which converts conditional activation effects into ‘cutting power’, also becomes useless in a similar context..

‘[If you don’t use [Multiple Cut], [Scar of Explosion] becomes meaningless, and then it becomes a skill without [Mandelion Oil] or [Residual Heat]..’

In fact, the moment you hold the spear, a disaster occurs that requires you to change your entire skills..

however…….

‘Hey, everyone except Hypramargent is level 4 or lower.?’

A thought suddenly occurred to me..

‘It's come to this, can't we just change everything??’

[[Dungeon & Stone] is a game where training is the main focus..

It is important to create the perfect final combination, but designing it so that the character can develop until the final combination is several times more important..

Unless you prepare several necessary items and replaceable essences for each section, it is impossible to develop your character until the final combination..

It is important not to lose the character concept while gradually increasing the value of the skills..

Creak, creak, creak.

[That was the reason why [Multiple Cut] was selected as Einar's core skill..

Isn’t this a level 4 skill that you got in the beginning?.

I thought it would be a good idea to set the essence to utilize this and then change it to a higher compatible skill later..

however…….

‘……It doesn't make sense at all..’

I have already grown as I should.

Erwen built an unrivaled position by eating up the essence of her class, and Misha also returned after going with Lee Baek-ho and growing tremendously..

Amelia has always been very strong.

To put it bluntly, the absence of Einar right now will not hinder hunting at all..

To put it simply, it is possible.…….

‘Actually, it's crazy, wearing a spear doesn't mean your combat power decreases much..’

single number.

It's also a graduation weapon with no substitute..

The effects attached to it have enough power to make up for even if a few skills are discarded..

Even more so if it is an integer of level 4 or lower..

Penetration Damage 1,200%.

All damage using spears is increased by 3 times..

Superlative Penetration Compensation.

With these three options alone, it is safe to say that single damage increases compared to when using a sword, and stability is much improved thanks to various regenerative power increase effects..

So, from now on, the problem is.

‘I'm asking if he accepts this.…….’

Let's get this out of the way.

Because there is nothing to lose by doing so..

This time, like a barbarian.

“Einar.”

He approaches the side and says it as if it is no big deal..

“Are you thinking of using a spear instead of a sword??”

“……window?”

Einar stopped chewing the beef jerky and looked at me with a strange expression..

Huh, it doesn't work after all??

Regardless of whether they like it or not, barbarians dislike these weapons because they call them cowards.—

“oh! If you're talking about that window, fine! give it to me!”

……huh?

What is this reaction??

“I'm saying this in case you misunderstood, but it means that you will have to use windows for the rest of your life. Change all integers too.”

“If you need to change it... Does this include Semura’s essence??”

The essence of Semura means [repeated cutting]..

This is what the elder who followed like a teacher passed down to Einar through ‘soul succession’ before he died..

“Yes, that includes the integer as well..”

“is it…….”

Einar’s eyes turned vaguely vague..

But it didn't take long for the answer to come back..

“If you want, think carefully before answering.—”

“good night. I'll change it to a window..”

“…huh?”

They're saying they're going to change the entire training, but they decided that without even thinking about it for a minute.?

‘This is True Barbarian……?’

It was a point where I couldn’t even dare to follow..

However, Einar did not seem to have made the decision without any thought..

“Why are you so surprised? In the first place, weren't you recommending all the essences I have now??”

“uh… That's right?”

“Thanks to this, I gained a reputation that I deserve. I gained the power to fight an unimaginably powerful enemy, and with that power I was able to protect my colleagues..”

Soon Einar looked at me and spoke softly..

“So I believe in you.”

“…….”

“There's no way you'd do anything to harm me, right??”

I see.

You didn't just make a decision on a whim, you were able to move forward without any doubts because you just trusted me..

‘Indeed, can I do that??’

The moment I suddenly thought that trust was difficult to bear,.

“And above all…….”

Einar avoided my eyes..

No, more accurately, he turned his gaze away from me and looked somewhere else..

And with very greedy eyes.

“…Well, that window is fine! It's really big, isn't it?!”

“ah…….”

“I think it's 1.5 times bigger than my great sword.!”

i am speechless.

Just as crows are instinctively attached to shiny objects..

Barbarians had a tendency to like big things..

“It was cool that it was shining brightly!”

If it even shines, it’s the icing on the cake..

“Besides, it seems like all the kids with wings use spears.!”

okay… You had many reasons too..

***

Einar, who changed his class to spearman, immediately began learning the spear weapon..

Swing it in the air, stretch forward, measure the distance, etc..

It was awkward at first, as if I didn't know how to hold it, but my posture became stable at an unbelievably fast rate..

“Hehe, now I'm back to my old posture.!”

“old posture?”

“Don't you remember? When we were kids we learned all the weapons!”

“Ah, that… It did…….”

Oh, why is it suddenly an old story?.

As always, the topic of the past was interrupted with a short answer, but unfortunately, Einar was already lost in memories..

“When you think about it, it's really amazing. I heard that my mother and my sister also used spears..”

Fortunately, it was a question that could be answered naturally..

This is my first time hearing about the spear, but we've talked about Einar's older sister before..

Ainar, second daughter of Pnellin.

Einar has an older sister..

No, not exactly… there was.

“uh? I had a sister?”

When Erwen, who also had an older sister, showed interest and asked, Einar shrugged his shoulders..

“Oh, I never told you? There was a four year age difference. First, he harassed me by telling me that he wanted to become an explorer and hone his skills by telling me various stories, hehehe.…….”

“……yes?”

Erwen tilted her head at Einar's words, which seemed to recall happy memories, but it was an incident caused by racial and cultural differences..

“So, how is your sister? Are you famous??”

“dead. 2 years before my coming of age ceremony.”

“ah… … . Sorry, sorry…….”

Erwen becomes thoughtful and apologizes as if she had offended someone..

But in reality, Einar was fine..

“huh? Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault that your sister died..”

“but… It must be a sad memory..”

“Sad memories? What does that mean? I only have good memories. Of course, it's a little sad that I can't see her anymore, but it always makes me feel better when I remember my memories with her..”

Erwen was speechless for a moment at those words..

“how… Is that possible? I still… When I think of you, my heart feels clogged..”

Perhaps because his voice was so angry, it had a slightly harsh tone, but fortunately, Einar didn't care about such trivial things..

I just naturally tilt my head.

“No matter why... I don't have anything to say?”

“…….”

“Doesn’t it feel better to smile than to be depressed? I'm sure my sister will do the same.!”

A very barbarian answer.

However, when Erwen heard this, he could not say anything. He just stared at Einar for a while, then turned away in silence and went up to the observation deck..

‘after… I can breathe now.’

When I let out the long breath I had been holding, Einar gave me a strange look..

“……Did I do something wrong??”

“nothing. Do whatever you are doing. As soon as I arrive at the island, I have to go straight into action..”

“oh! I get it!”

I put Einar, which had stopped working for a while, back into automatic training mode and headed to where the ship's rudder was..

After confirming the estimated arrival time with Auyen, he sat with his back against the pillar and closed his eyes..

‘I'll catch the bad guys on my own, and if the tougher kids come out, I'll wake them up..’

How long has it been like that?.

When I woke up, I took out my canteen and looked for Einar. I was curious about how much progress had been made so far.…….

‘huh?’

For some reason, Einar stopped training and was resting on the deck..

Also with Erwen.

‘what?’

Just as I was having doubts, Amelia came up next to me..

“Don't get involved and leave it alone..”

“……I didn't even intend to do that..”

I'm just curious about the conversation..

As I immediately pricked up my ears and concentrated, I could hear the conversation between the two..

I was worried because the two of us were together.

A very ordinary conversation was going on back and forth between the two..

“Haha, now that I think about it, you said you have a younger sibling too, right? How is he? Are you an explorer??”

“no. Not yet. I'm going to have a coming-of-age ceremony next year, but I'm a little worried..”

“If you're worried, wouldn't it be okay if you were by my side and told me about this and that?.”

“that is… It's not easy.”

“huh? Oh, you mean I'm stuck here??”

“no. That's not it... actually… My sister died... … We haven't been on very good terms since he suddenly disappeared..”

“Oh, by the way, he must have gone to the battlefield every day to seek revenge. Then it's all your fault!”

I was appalled by Einar's line of criticizing right and wrong, but surprisingly, Erwen calmly agreed..

“My fault... yes. that's right. It's my fault.”

“Haha, that's all you need to know. Then, shouldn’t I just go back and do well??”

“But, I think it's already too late. My younger brother hates me and resents me..”

“Did he say that with his own mouth??”

“No, it's not like that.—”

“Otherwise, don't think it's strange for no reason. You hate me? Is it possible that they are family? I'm sure he's hoping for things to go back to the way they used to be with you..”

“That’s right… Shall I?……?”

A strange scene where a fairy, not another race, is seriously receiving life advice from a barbarian who is no different from her archenemy..

But at the same time, the scene somehow made sense..

“Ah, it definitely will! you can trust me!”

I also thought I could see how Einar always got along with everyone so easily..

***

Day 76 of entering the labyrinth.

After leaving Giant Island, we finally arrived at Library Island..

What we do here is infinite farming.

‘Belarios is also Belarios, but it would be nice if there would be some essence for Einar to drink..’

With such expectations, we entered the entrance of the building and walked down the stairs for a while..

and…….

“Yandel, there's someone down there..”

“The number is one. There's nothing else.”

“The thing curled up looks like it's sleeping.…….”

“What are you going to do??”

I heard unexpected news through Amelia and Erwen..

A passenger who came before us..

‘Who on earth is this??’

There was a candidate that came to mind first..

The same clan that came down to the first basement level with the Armin exploration team in the last episode..

I'm sure their name is…….

“……I wonder if they are people from the Ainfereal Clan..”

Oh, that's right..

“But the numbers are strange. One person. Where on earth do so many people go?…….”

Muhl frowned and was lost in thought, but I wasn't really curious..

No, more accurately, it was a waste of time..

“It would be quicker to ask directly..”

Even if I just guess, it won't be as accurate as hearing the truth from my own mouth..

Soon I hurried down the stairs..

Kuung-! Kuung-! Cooung-!

Perhaps because of the loud noise, the unidentified passenger who was said to be sleeping when he arrived below was up in an awkward position.…….

“uh… … ! Me, Baron?!”

He looked at me from the other side and was very surprised..

Actually, that was the same for me too..

That's right too…….

“……Matherkin Lilgriams.”

He was the leader of the Silver Lion Clan, who was last reported missing on Chief Island..
