Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 57
57forest of witches (4)
The curse that was hanging around has disappeared..
But instead, the curse words keep ringing in my ears..
[die! die! die! die! die!]
Yeah, I won't die.
[motherless guy!]
Yes, I have a mother in real life..
[Kihihihihi! Hehehehe!]
I smiled, ignoring the auditory hallucinations that came every few seconds..
It's a little annoying, but so what?.
It's just an auditory hallucination.
Even if you only cursed cancer, there would be no real damage, and even the real curses disappeared without a trace thanks to these people.?
‘In the first place, all the comments that say it's a mental attack are completely ignored..’
If you're going to do it, do it better..
There is no novelty or sincerity..
Well, they seem to think differently..
“Bjorn! How can you laugh it off even after hearing these insults! Have you gone crazy? I've been so noisy since a while ago that my head hurts.!”
Misha, the dwarf, and Rotmiller, who had experience in the Witch's Forest, were in better condition, but Dwarki was the problem..
“…Ugh, uhhh.”
His eyes are blurry, his cheeks are drawn, and he looks like he's about to vomit up what's inside at any moment..
Well, in an environment like this, you might get motion sickness..
‘I didn't know it felt like this, but it's amazing..’
[Everything looks curved due to the effects of [Hallucination] and [Direction].
I definitely looked to the right, but I could see what I had seen from the front, and the sense of distance was blurrier than usual..
It feels like looking at the world through a convex mirror..
“Wok, waeeek!”
Soon, Dwalki could not hold it back and vomited out thick gastric juice..
Feeling somewhat worried, I asked.
“Can you use magic in that state??”
“Bjorn wasn't good. My colleagues are having a hard time, but that's more important.!”
What does he say again?.
The last time I threw up, I told myself to become an adult or something..
Huh, this is why we need to refrain from getting attached to each other..
Because I can't make rational decisions.
“Misha, I wasn't asking you. So Dwalki, the answer is?”
“Well, you're all there, don't worry. Magic is no problem... Wow!”
Well, I guess there's no magic until you get used to it..
Why are wizards so mean??
As I clicked my tongue at this completely incomprehensible sight, Rottmiller looked at me with curiosity..
“Still, it's impressive. No matter how mentally strong a barbarian is, he will have a hard time at first.…….”
Well, I heard so..
But I had a really hard time earlier..
I was just laughing it off, and sure enough, the dwarf came out for his best friend Dwalky..
“Tsk, tsk, isn't my body so weak from just sitting at my desk on such an empty day?.”
“Look, I'm still the type of person among wizards to exercise.—”
“Okay, let's take a break for a while until you get used to it. I didn't sleep well last night. It's probably more because I'm tired.”
“Your consideration... I won't forget you.”
In the end, we decided to stay at the entrance for a while until Dwalki adapted to the environment..
I didn't object much either..
Anyway, not only is the presence or absence of a wizard important here, but I also needed to replenish some of my lost energy..
“I'll be on watch, you can all rest..”
As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, I lay down on the floor to rest..
It was a hassle to even take out the sleeping bag..
But what is this again?.
“Bjorn, you know.…….”
As I was about to close my eyes, the dwarf sneakily approached me and spoke to me in a whisper..
“It's that Miss Elisha earlier.—”
I woke up suddenly..
What on earth is he talking about??
“It's not Miss Elisa, it's that bitch..”
“Uh, yeah, anyway, it's that bitch. Even just thinking about cancer, it feels like someone I met once before.…….”
what?
I thought I was talking about trivial things as usual, but I think it's quite important..
When I raised my upper body and assumed a listening posture, the dwarf hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“Didn't I go to the guild to raise my explorer level based on your advice? At that time, when I was filling out the application form, someone next to me asked me various questions..”
“I'm tired so just get to the point.”
“Now that I think about it, it seems like her..”
Huh, it's much better because it's concise..
It's not like there aren't some frustrating parts..
I calmly asked back.
“Then why didn't I recognize it right away??”
“that is… Didn't he look dirty, unlike in the city? Oh, oh, the clothes were torn here and there.!”
Oh, I guess I was so focused on the chest that I couldn't see the face properly..
But now one question has been resolved.
Why did Elisha and his group target us?.
‘It was all because of that thing..’
No.3112 Guardian's Armguards.
An expensive number item traded on the exchange for a whopping 50 million stones. Since it was an application for a promotion, there must have been information about it written down..
The motives behind the looters' actions abound..
The more money, the better..
‘So you've been a target since then?…….’
As I acquire new information, causes and effects that I did not know come into my mind..
Most team meetings were held in bars..
If we had our way, it wouldn't have been too difficult to figure out that we were using the Beast's Lair route..
It would have been possible to arrive first and set a trap..
“Hehe, they say that treasure always brings disaster. Isn’t that really true??”
The dwarf sighed deeply..
It seemed as if he was hoping for sympathy, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person..
It's a shame that treasure causes misfortune?
“Don't place blame on the wrong place. Isn't it all your fault for writing it while looking at the entire application?.”
“So, are you blaming me now? Weren’t you also there at that time?!”
By the way, I didn't know that I had to even worry about writing the application form..
When I looked at him as if I was pitiful, the dwarf closed his mouth as if he was at a loss for words..
‘Ugh…….’
I didn't need to say anything more..
Isn’t it already past anyway?.
It makes more sense to rest a little more during that time..
***
The break wasn't that long.
I really just closed my eyes?
30In less than a minute, a monster appeared and we had to wake up from our sweet sleep..
Ah, isn't that the word 'we'??
“Well, you slept really well..”
“How can I sleep while listening to that sound??”
I guess I'm the only one who slept so deeply that I even dreamed.…….
It's because they're all hungry..
“Okay, where is the monster??”
“That way.”
Soon, I check the place the dwarf pointed and see the shape of a person with wings..
For reference, the size is about the palm of your hand..
“Fairy-kun.”
9Grade Monster Fairy.
For reference, the only skill is to emit poisonous powder mixed with narcotic substances, and in the game, it was a non-first move mob..
but…….
“You've been a pain in the ass from the beginning..”
The fact that fairies are gathered in one place like that probably means that they are nearby too..
“Are you going to fight??”
“That's because he's not an easy guy to see. Dwalki, that guy seems to be feeling better now..”
You're fighting..
Well, not bad..
From my point of view, it is also a monster that has not yet received experience points..
It would be great if at least the essence came out..
Although it's a essence that I don't need right now, it's a precious essence, so no matter which one of us consumes it, it's sure to be sold at a high price..
“Then, when everyone is ready, I will call them out..”
After briefly preparing for battle, the dwarf took a stance holding a battle hammer..
And I used my own patented combo..
「Hikurod Murad casted [Electric Lightning].」
「Hikurod Murad casted [Discharge].」
It's called lightning release.
As the hammer was swung, the crackling electric current was shot out in the form of a cannonball..
And it mercilessly attacked fairies with immunity to physical damage..
「Defeated Fairy. EXP +1」
I don’t know anything else, but I’m a little envious of this..
I think it would be nice to have an elemental damage skill like this too..
“Keekssssssssssssssssss.-!!”
Anyway, the moment the fifteen fairies burst out, a creepy sound is heard from afar..
A roar as if hundreds of animals were roaring in anger..
Before long he emerged from the darkness..
Making a heavy footsteps that befits his size..
Cooung-!
7Grade Monster, Half Troll.
You can tell just by looking at the name, but it's not a real troll, it's more like a mixture of half a human and a half troll..
For reference, this monster only appears in the Witch's Forest and has a habit of stalking groups of fairies..
Unfortunately, I don't know the reason..
I can't find that setting anywhere in the game..
Anyway, I guess I'll stop talking about it here..
“purr…….”
A man with a height of about 2.5 meters lowers his posture and stares at us as if on guard..
However, as a monster faithful to its nature, patience was not long..
“Kaaaaaak-!!”
A half-troll comes swinging a huge club at us who slaughtered the group of fairies that were following us so diligently..
There's a dwarf next to me too..
Cooung!
heavy.
In my experience, it is better than ‘Iantro’ of Steel Rock Hill..
Well, even though they are at the same level as level 7, Iantro is an individual that lives in groups, so is it natural??
It's been a while since my arms felt this stiff..
Slurp.
So I tilted my shield and knocked the half-troll's club aside..
Then the aggro naturally shifted from me to the dwarf..
This tip can only be used when there are two tanks on your team..
Well, it's unfair that I'm the only one having a hard time?
I also learned that sharing hard times is what makes you a friend..
“Kaaaaaak-!!”
The second club beating followed by a scream.
The dwarf catches this with a small shield and lets out a small moan as if his bones are cold..
Then I realized one more thing.
“Ugh…….”
Oh, he has no pain tolerance.
This is one of the biggest reasons why the Witch's Forest is avoided by warriors..
A warrior is someone who gets beaten up on the front lines every day. But here, the pain increases several times more due to [enhanced pain sensation]..
‘Meanwhile, more than half of the monsters that appear have physical immunity and even use mental skills.…….’
It's not for nothing that Rotmiller tried to give the dwarf and me first and last names last night..
In the witch's forest, warriors inevitably have to take on all the hardships..
I have a pain tolerance stat so I guess I'm just trying to do that..
‘It turns out that my pain tolerance was a scam..’
Is it true that life is a new thing?.
The essence of the corpse golem that I accidentally absorbed continues to be of great help..
Huh-!
The half-troll swung its club again..
And unlike me, the dwarf who bravely entered into a contest of strength shouted..
“Is the magic still there?!”
Not yet.
As you know, he chants slowly.?
“Behel—laaaa!!”
The dwarf looked like he was having a hard time, so I hit the half-troll with my mace to help him out a little..
Of course, it didn't mean much.
puck!
Not only were his strong bones and muscles resistant to a blow from a mace, but even though he was a harp, he was a troll by name..
The regenerative power is amazing..
At least it's not comparable to a vampire..
「Riolb Dwarki casted the level 8 auxiliary magic [Ice Strengthening]..」
「The power of the following ice spells is greatly increased..」
「Riol Warb Dwarki casted the level 8 attack magic [Ice Spear].」
After ping-ponging aggro with the dwarf, the magic spell was finally completed..
Dwalki's special move.
Reinforced Ice Spear.
Pisshuuut-!
An ice spear twice as large as usual flies out and lands in the half-troll's abdomen..
In fact, if you look at the power alone, it is an output that none of us can imitate..
However, from the perspective of the viewer, the outfit stands out..
‘When will this guy get some sense?.’
I gave him advice last time, but he stuck the window in the wrong place again. If it had been driven into the heart or head, it could have been killed in one hit..
Why is there so much waste??
Is it that hard to aim??
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-!!”
Soon the half-troll was writhing in pain and screaming..
Of course, it wasn't long.
「The half troll casted [Frenzy].」
「Pain temporarily disappears and physical strength increases significantly..」
A half troll that started moving dynamically like a live fish out of water, even though it had a spear stuck in its stomach..
Ha, this is why I should have caught it in one shot..
‘…He too will get better someday?’
I hope so..
Otherwise, there is no point in going through trial and error like this..
“crying! It was a little shallow!”
While confronting a vicious half-troll.
Misha stabbed the poisoned dagger into the heart, but unfortunately it was too short to pierce the thick muscle..
The crossbow fired by the explorer Rotmiller was barely able to penetrate the leather..
‘In the end, I have no choice but to wait until the order is completed again..’
Anyway, Dwalki is the dealer who can show off the most power in the team..
Once again, I can clearly feel our team’s weaknesses..
The tank team is strong enough to withstand the half-troll's [Frenzy] state, but the dealer team does not support it..
But this is a type of problem that cannot be solved immediately.
“That's it! step back!”
After continuing the battle for about 10 more minutes, Dwalki used his special move once again..
Fortunately, this time it hit the head..
「You have killed a half troll. EXP +3」
A half troll that turns into light and disappears as soon as its entire head is blown off..
Naturally, there was no essence as expected..
It was just a fist-sized magic stone that fell in a lump..
“It's too bad. It wasn't a monster that was easy to see..”
Perhaps because they were secretly looking forward to it, Misha and Rotmiller whetted their appetites..
It's not that I don't understand.
Before I drank the vampire essence, I would have drooled a lot..
7Because quality recycled water purification is rare..
Well, I'm no longer satisfied with that kind of thing..
[07 : 13]
4The morning when work has just begun.
Tomorrow we will reach the fourth floor, and then the real journey begins..
From there, level 6 monsters also appear..
I wish I could just drink one level 6 essence, no more, no less..
***
“Then move slowly.”
After defeating the half-troll, we decided to resume movement..
Everyone looks tired after staying up all night, but the Witch's Forest is not a good environment for rest..
Our conclusion was to shorten the time to get to the 4th floor, even if it was too much for one day..
but…….
“Explorers.”
Just as we were about to resume our journey.
Strange explorers emerge from the darkness.
It wasn't that surprising.
No matter how much of a witch's forest it is, if there was this much fighting at the beginning, it would have been time for a new group to enter..
But there was one problem.
‘one two three four…….’
what? Why are there six people??
Typically, a team consists of up to 5 people..
This is because the binding magic can only work for five people..
But it's a 6-member explorer team.?
Suspicious of that fact, I was looking at the faces of the group of unfamiliar explorers, and for some reason I saw a familiar face..
Unfortunately, it seemed like they recognized us too..
“…Explorers! It's them! They killed my comrades.!”
fuck…….
I really didn't expect this.
No matter who said it first, the entire team was mesmerized after hearing those words..
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…….”
A man who appears to be the leader of the opposing group of explorers makes the sign of the cross..
Judging by the way he has Leatlas goods plastered all over his body, it is presumed that he is a true religionist, which is rare in this world..
Nimiral, that bitch is lucky.
How on earth did they find a kid like that in the labyrinth??
“God, give me the strength to destroy those evil squires……!”
