Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 547

[scale of greed]
A high-scoring active skill that allows you to obtain ‘magic immunity’ if you have enough anti-magic power..
There is even more effect here.
「Physical resistance increases in proportion to the magic damage reduced by Belarios..」
That skill is not satisfied with blocking magic, but also increases physical resistance..
To put it simply, it has all-purpose scales that become increasingly harder when hit with magic.…….
It's literally a very greedy scale..
But unfortunately, I met the wrong person today..
‘Even explorers are not pushed back by greed..’
Is it possible to say that the explorer's desire is the greed of greed?.
Oh, by the way, I just made this..
And in that sense…….
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
Running forward, fully expressing the greed that lies within..
integer, integer, integer, integer.
Inevitably, Jeongsu!
When I look in the mirror, I feel like I'm seeing a madman with bright eyes..
It's been a long time since my body got this excited in front of a monster..
But how can I tolerate this??
How many times have I suffered a loss because of magic damage, which was my only weakness?.
That one thing will solve all your problems.
Yeah, I mean…….
‘First of all, start with this guy.’
The goat-headed blacksmith blocked my path..
Hit the hammer towards Hellsmith's head..
Kwaaang-!
The jaw was slightly turned after being hit by the hammer, but like a tenacious grade 3 monster, it didn't even flinch..
No, on the contrary, they immediately counterattacked..
「Hellsmith casted [Tap].」
「The flame in the earth awakens.」
The ground cracks and flames soar.
When our tribal leader used it, it was a buff skill that had a duration and was close to a special move, but for this guy, it was okay to think of it as just a skill that lasts all the time..
In the first place, most skills obtained through essence tend to have poor performance..
「Damage from all fire skills increases significantly.」
「Physical strength increases significantly in proportion to fire sensitivity..」
「Continuously burning the surroundings.」
Red and blue flames flickered over its body, but the lasting damage was still worth it..
There is a saying that explorers are equipment junkies.?
Ah, this is a real thing..
「Activated the Fire Orb.」
「Continuous damage from all fire types within a 15m radius is reduced by 50%..」
‘With 'Fire Orb' activated, the damage was reduced significantly..
And this is the same for the people around me..
「Versil Gowland cast the level 8 enchantment [Cold Blood].」
「The character's fire resistance increases significantly..」
With the addition of 'Cold Blood' magic, the sustained damage has come down to a level that can be almost ignored..
thus…….
“attack!”
Amelia pulls out an auror, and Misha swings a long sword full of cold..
also.
「Einar Pnellin casted [Trident].」
Einar demonstrates his newly acquired skills in real life for the first time..
Hwiik-!
A spear extending forward with a sound like an arrow flying..
Two translucent windows are added to either side of the window..
[Due to the effect of [Trident], these spears were originally scheduled to hit two enemies located near the target..
but…….
‘The name and color are grade 3 essence, but that's disappointing..’
[[Trident] is a wide-area skill, but in fact, it is a skill that shines more when making a single attack..
Just like this.
「There are no enemies around the attack target.」
「All attacks hit the target.」
Three spears pointed into the goat's head.
Of course, it is not a judgment that hits the same spot like [Repeated Cut], and the skills I had did not activate..
But that doesn't mean it's weak..
Penetration damage using spears increased by 1,200%.
With just this one option, you can get enough damage from a combination of essences of grade 4 or lower..
Puuk-!
The moment the three deeply embedded spears are pulled out.
Red blood bursts out from a hole the size of a window..
However, that time was extremely short..
「Hellsmith casted [Tinkering].」
The wound area became red like lava, and a silver film covered it, as if a cavity had been treated..
Hellsmith, who healed his injuries in an instant, roared and cast one more of his main skills..
「Hellsmith casted [Hellfire].」
[hellfire].
It is an attack machine with good performance, so much so that there was even a training method in the past that focused on this skill..
Pow-! pop! Quaaaaang-! Kwaaang-!
Like a volcano erupting.
The lava bag on his back explodes, with red liquid splashing everywhere..
And starting from this.
「Belarios casted [Disaster].」
Belarios also entered the battlefield and the raid began in earnest..
***
[[Disaster] is a very unique skill..
Especially in that it gives an effect to the field itself..
「Field Effect - Typhoon is applied.」
Field effect applied randomly within radius when used.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
A strong wind blows, gray swirls swirl..
Thanks to this, the field of view was greatly narrowed, but this was just an additional effect due to the effect..
「The activation rate of all skills is reduced to 50%.」
If you use a skill in a typhoon, it will be canceled midway one out of two times..
‘It's annoying. It was a typhoon from the beginning..’
Still, I was glad this wasn't the Dragon Mountains..
It has its own field effect, so it's much more burdensome..
“Deal with Hellsmith first.!”
As soon as the instructions were given, the long-distance dealers also began to use the skills they had prepared..
Joint magic that has been cast for a long time unfolds, and various abilities are fired at exquisite angles to avoid nearby dealers..
and at that moment.
「Belarios casted [Dragon Orb].」
「Resource consumption for all characters within radius increases by 12 times.」
In a typhoon where it is difficult to even open your eyes, a yellow light emitting a sacred atmosphere bursts out..
Yeah, I was wondering when I was going to use it..
‘The skill activation mechanism was when more than a certain amount of resources were consumed.?’
[[Dragon Orb] was as unique a skill as [Disaster]..
A skill that increases resource consumption by 12 times and returns MP equivalent to the amount consumed..
Of course, this is only on the surface, but this skill has a fatal flaw..
「Hellsmith casted [Tinkering].」
「[[Dragon's Orb] increases resource consumption by 12 times..」
「Field Effect - Skill failed due to typhoon.」
「[[Dragon Orb] robs the consumed resources.」
[[Dragon Orb], like [Disaster], applies to both enemies and allies..
Because it is a unique mechanism, there was a time when a training method was created with this skill as the main skill..
He was a single-player carry-type character who set extreme damage settings and used [Dragon Orb] to suck up resources from his colleagues and extract insane levels of damage..
Well, at least it feels like it's backwards compatible with the current Erwen, so I played it a few times just for fun and threw it away..
anyway.
“don't stop!”
Regardless of whether it was a typhoon or an increase in resource consumption, all damage was dealt to Hellsmith..
and the result.
「Field Effect - Earthquake is applied.」
「All effects related to movement are sealed.」
Although Belarios used [Disaster] once more with the recovered MP, he was still able to achieve his goal..
「Defeated Hellsmith. EXP +7」
A guy who met a miserable end as his MP was taken away from his comrades who were supposed to fight with him, and his ability to cast skills was blocked..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Soon its body turned into a halo of light and fluttered around, but there was only one reward..
Tuk.
3Grade Magic Stone.
‘I had some expectations since it was my first treatment.…….’
The essence I had expected was not dropped..
It was a little disappointing, but I wasn't too obsessed..
Anyway, there is a separate main dish.…….
‘Rather, it worked out well..’
If I had used beginner's luck here, I would have been even more anxious..
Originally, gacha required a sacrifice..
“Now all that's left is that guy!”
“You know, right? Wizards, please only use support magic and help! Never use attack magic!”
After defeating Hellsmith, I focused all my efforts on Belarios..
The wizard changed his position from dealer to supporter, and intercepted the long-distance dealers floating in the air and spraying skills..
and…….
“come!”
The guy who was flying was the only one who swung his weapon at the right time to come down..
「Belarios casted [Wave Swim].」
「Belarios casted [Breath of Death].」
「Belarios casted [Shred]…….」
As the battle goes on, the scales of this guy become more and more ruined..
「Belarios casted [Disaster].」
「Field Effect - Drought is applied.」
「All beneficial effects are removed and all negative effects are strengthened..」
That was around the time he used [Disaster] for the third time..
Hehehey profit-!
Erwen's arrow, shot from afar, struck him between the eyes, and the battle came to an end..
It took about 10 minutes in total?
While mentally calculating the time of the battle, my eyes were fixed on Belarios, who turned into a halo of light and disappeared..
「You have defeated Belarios. EXP +7」
Soon, his body disappears and the light in the air turns into a magic stone and falls to the floor..
Tuk.
None of these explorers was interested in the one fallen magic stone..
「No.9999 Beginner's Luck has been activated.」
Jeongsoo has appeared.
Instead the problem is…….
‘……It's yellow.’
[It was not [Scale of Greed].
***
Yellow Essence’s active skill is [Crushing]].
It is basically a long-distance attack, but it is an unavoidable, instant-fire skill whose power increases significantly when used in close proximity..
“OMG… That's too bad. Yellow, it's not what you wanted.?”
“after… So what happens to that essence? I think there are many people who want it.…….”
While everyone was concentrating on the essence, Amelia approached, wiping the blood off her dagger..
“Yandel, are you okay? You look pretty hurt..”
“Oh, it's okay. The equipment didn't hurt much..”
“…….”
2Grade, I was barely injured when fighting Milayel, the rift guardian, but I was injured in the battle with Belarios..
[Shredding] is impossible to guard due to the type of attack..
This is because the space around the designated target shrinks, causing damage.…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Still, it was only a minor injury, so I started to recover quickly once I healed a little..
“I'm glad you're okay, but what are you going to do about Jeongsoo??”
“Oh, that…….”
After my body returned to normal, I quickly gathered my thoughts..
‘Why did [Shredding] take it away?.’
If you look at the skill alone, it's not bad..
Impossible to evade, instantaneous attack, and even judgment of impossible to guard..
Even the damage is decent, MP consumption is low and the cooldown is short..
but…….
‘It's difficult to grow.’
As much as there are such advantages, there is a fatal disadvantage that it is difficult to create synergy with other skills..
This means that no matter how you set your skills, there is little growth potential.…….
“decided.”
It didn't take long to decide on the owner of the essence..
“Auyen Rockrobe.”
Navigator, our clan's only non-combat personnel..
“……yes?”
“you have this.”
“………………Yes?”
“What are you surprised about??”
“Ha, but… Isn't this an essence related to sailing?……?”
Oh, so you didn't say anything when the grade 3 essence was thrown away..
I chuckled and tapped the guy on the shoulder..
“No matter how much you are a navigator, aren’t you also a member of our clan? There must be at least one essence to protect your body..”
I was thinking of giving one if there was anything suitable..
And if it was an essence that gave similar performance no matter who wore it, we thought that even non-combat personnel Auyen could make good use of it..
‘You can also improve basic stats with the passive skill [Circle of Circulation]..’
But wouldn't it be hard to believe that fact??
“Uh, uhh…….”
Auyen twitched his mouth like a man in a trance..
And how long has it passed?.
“thanks… do. thank you… really… Thank you very much…….”
For some reason, the navigator started to shed tears..
***
「[Essence of Belarios] seeps into Auyen Rockrobe’s soul..」
***
What, why is he crying all of a sudden?.
As I was panicking about the sudden situation, Amelia came up next to me..
“It seems like all the sorrow from the past has washed away. When I heard the old story, I heard that he was often looked down upon while working as a navigator..”
…okay? I didn't know that.
“Since you gave me essence to protect me, I must have had mixed feelings. It must have felt like I was recognized for the first time..”
Well, even if you say it that way, it doesn't really make sense..
I'm just saying that he's had a lot of hard times too.?
At this point I stopped paying attention..
“Hehehehe…….”
“Oh oh! Bjorn is looking embarrassed.!”
Well, it’s not like that..
‘Amelia, why is she smiling so happily?.’
I didn't want to be misunderstood, so I quickly shouted to change the subject..
“Everyone, take your time and rest.!”
Rest time given to everyone.
As I was lying down nearby, Erwen approached me at a slow pace..
“Man, take a break.?”
“uh. however?”
“I have a question..”
Questions?
“tell me.”
“Why didn't you let me fight in this battle? It would have been much easier if I had caught one and started..”
“Oh, that?”
It was definitely the right story..
If Erwen had used his special move, even if there were only two level 3 monsters, it would have been over in no time..
He would have cut down Hellsmith with a sphere of darkness and blown away Belarios in one blow with [Concentrated Fire]..
but…….
“Isn’t there still a lot of time left?.”
“yes?”
After using a special move, Erwen cannot participate in battle for a while..
And the current time is 17:00.
Simply put, if Erwen, who is already a high-quality person, is left out, the number of monsters that can be caught will decrease..
‘Okay, then it looks like everyone got enough rest.…….’
Soon I got up and gave the order to gather, and after everyone was gathered, I formed a formation and summoned a monster..
After repeating the toil until 23:00, I finished the day's work and prepared for camping..
And the next morning.
“Chew it thoroughly! Because I didn’t even add a lot of vegetables.!”
As soon as I woke up, I ate breakfast and started a new day..
Okay, the food is delicious today too..
“Based on a total of 38 people, there are 60 days left..”
There is no problem with material management.
“We found some strange figures on Mr. Pnellin's body. Maybe it could be a clue to Hipramagent's ability to embody..”
The investigation team is not producing results as usual..
Everything was fine in the morning.
Except for one thing.
“Yandel, please talk to me for a moment..”
As I was wandering around trying to digest food, Amelia, who is in charge of the security team, called me over..
And after a little hesitation, I opened my mouth..
“It's hard to just say you saw something because there are more than one or two people who have seen the same thing..”
“What did you see??”
“First of all, let me tell you in advance, when I checked, there was nothing in this library..”
“No, so what did you see??”
In response to my question, Amelia looked around carefully and whispered softly..
“During the night... There is a story about seeing a ghost.”
……Ghost?
