Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 589
589What a boss (2)
Amelia Lane Wales.
A top-level talent who can use Aura and even has the talent of a ‘leader’..
The class is…….
‘It's like a self-immolation thief..’
Anyway, the current level is 8 and there is 1 empty integer slot. It was originally full, but I deleted one right before I went down to the basement level..
[affinity]
The essence of Capravara, a grade 5 monster with a passive ability that prevents monsters from attacking first..
It may have been quite useful when I was moving alone, but now that I'm with us, it's no longer necessary..
Well, there was one more essence with a similar feeling..
“Emily, when you return to the city, erase Esgen's essence as well..”
“Esgen's Essence……?”
“Why are you looking surprised? As I said last time, aren't the days of traveling alone over?.”
“……………I'll think about it..”
To think about it.
[If you have [Source of Eternal Life], even if you bring a priest, you won't be able to receive a single heal properly..
‘Why don't you try to erase it like this??’
If you have a companion, Esgen's essence can be easily replaced with potions or other things..
But why is he obsessed with this essence?.
‘…Are you still not trusting us properly??’
Well, maybe so..
When I was living alone, I would have overcome the risk of death several times with that skill..
It may take some more time to adapt..
“……Okay, think about it. It's not like a priest has joined our clan yet..”
We ended the conversation by gradually persuading this issue..
And I was about to move on to talking about the boss..
“well… Looks like it's been resolved?”
Amelia says something unexpected.
When I looked at the person who was saying something, Amelia cleared her throat and continued speaking softly..
“With Misha Karlstein.”
Oh, that's what you were talking about..
Well, since he didn't say anything properly after that, he must have been curious about the inside story..
“Thanks to you, it was resolved well. I also confirmed that I have nothing to hide anymore.—.”
“…Confession.”
“…huh?”
“that… I heard they received it. To Karlstein.”
uh…….
I couldn't help but be truly embarrassed..
“Looking at your face, I guess that's true..”
“It's true, how on earth do you know that??”
“I heard it from Tersia..”
“To Erwen……?”
“He said he was walking around looking for you that day and heard you talking in the room..”
“ah…….”
As I foolishly opened my mouth, Amelia asked me carefully..
“so… What did you answer??”
Is it right to talk about what happened back then without Misha’s permission? Even though she was worried about such things, she spoke honestly about what happened that day..
I also received help from Amelia in this matter..
“We are friends…….”
“Yes, it ended quite neatly in that way. So you don't have to worry—.”
“It's going to be a mud fight..”
“…huh?”
“No, I'm talking to myself..”
It was so meaningful that even when I asked what it meant, I couldn't get an answer..
Amelia brought up a new topic as if avoiding conversation..
“Yandel, I'm asking just in case..”
The voice has changed to a more serious one, and I'm already feeling anxious about what he's going to say.—.
“Do you like men by any chance??”
“…what?”
“Don't worry. Because I have no bias in that regard. I have met people with such preferences several times in Noark.—.”
What are you talking about again?.
“Be careful what you say, Amelia Lane Wales..”
I can barely speak while holding back something bubbling in my danjeon..
“I like women. That too a lot.”
“……Well, you did? ah… Well, I didn't know it was that much though.—.”
“So don't ever say something like that in front of me again. Because it was even more humiliating than the time you called me ‘Hans’ by mistake..”
“…sorry. Be careful. It will never happen again. really. I swear on my sister.”
I sighed and let go of my anger at Amelia’s quick and sincere apology..
“after…….”
It's such a strange thing.
I don't particularly hate homosexuals or anything, so why am I so angry??
I don't know, but Amelia continued to say what she was trying to say even while looking at me..
“anyway… If so, you're lucky..”
“Thank goodness?”
“Aren’t you a noble in this world now?.”
“huh?”
When I tilted my head, Amelia avoided my gaze for some reason..
“that… I don't know what the original world is like... … . It means it's okay here..”
“…….”
“Even if you like girls a lot.”
How on earth did the conversation end up here??
I couldn't really understand it, but I raised the sound from the danjeon..
Even if it was a precious colleague, I couldn't help it..
When I had to scold, I had to scold..
Hongik Ingan and Confucian Spirit.
A person who inherits both at the same time.
In addition, an orthodox pure-blooded Korean born after inheriting the Lee surname of the Joseon royal family..
Korea, Korea, and only Korea.
As KKK-Barbarians.
“conflict—!!!!”
This is unacceptable..
***
“conflict……?”
This was the first Confucian shout that Amelia had ever heard..
I, who have a duty to benefit the world, hastened to tell you the meaning of that cry..
“This is what is commonly said in our world when scolding.”
“……Did I say something that would get me scolded??”
Hehe, have you still not realized the reason?.
It wasn't enough to start a threesome right away, but as a colleague, I opened my mouth calmly..
“Of course. Because our royal family does not have such a promiscuous culture..”
Amelia was a little taken aback by my words..
“our royal family……?”
“I didn't tell you for fear of feeling burdened, but my last name, 'Lee', means I'm of Joseon royal blood..”
“now… Are you saying you're royalty??”
“………………Yes, it's collateral.”
It pricked my conscience, but it’s not wrong.?
On paper, there is room for interpretation that way..
Due to the characteristics of a single ethnic group, there is a high possibility that some blood is mixed..
“……It's royalty. Amazing.”
Surprisingly, Amelia was easily convinced..
However, was there one question??
“But didn’t you say that the country you lived in was Korea??”
“Joseon... It is an ancient kingdom that has already fallen..”
“indeed… Was it the bloodline of a fallen ancient kingdom?.”
uh…….
“okay.”
There is room for interpretation of this too..
He also looks a bit cooler than the small citizen A with the surname Lee..
“Now I understand. Why were you so obsessed with survival? … . It must have been an inevitable environment from a young age. There must have been a sense of duty..”
“…….”
I took the stance of just keeping my mouth shut..
However, did revealing my identity stimulate curiosity??
Amelia started asking various questions..
“Joseon is a truly unique country. Even royalty can't have multiple wives..”
I had nothing to say this time too.
Actually, Joseon was polygamous..
He even had a concubine as well as a wife..
……That too a lot.
‘Polygamy... In fact, isn't it a very fundamental social system??’
A thought like that suddenly occurred to me, but I shook my head with difficulty..
No, that can't be possible..
Isn't the current royal family, K-government, that inherited the spirit of Confucianism practicing monogamy?.
‘…But this is a different world?’
If you think about it, even murder is treated as a capital crime in Korea under the K-government rule..
And now I'm a murderer who killed hundreds of people.
‘But is there any reason to be tied down??’
Suddenly the devil in my left arm started whispering, but I blocked my ears and eyes..
There was no need to force excuses like Confucianism, social systems, or anything else. Because I was born and raised in that kind of world, I feel a physiological aversion to stories like this first..
But did you notice that sign??
“…It must have been a sensitive topic for you. sorry.”
Amelia apologized again, and I accepted the apology because I felt like I reacted a bit harshly..
Of course, receiving an apology and having doubts were two different things..
“Okay. But why did you suddenly bring that up??”
When asked why, Amelia replied that she just needed advice, and then muttered in a low voice:.
“I never thought it wasn't muddy.”
A voice that sounds somewhat solemn.
“at last… A wind of blood will blow.”
“……What do you keep saying??”
“Ah, I'm talking to myself. never mind.”
No, even if you say that, it still bothers me.?
***
What is more in keeping with the spirit of the KKK?.
After the conversation with Amelia that made me worry, we were able to talk about boss strategy in earnest..
and…….
“Is it really okay to just jump??”
So finally the boss room…….
No, to be exact, I arrived at the entrance to the boss room..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
A cliff that emits a cold feeling.
Below, there is only darkness, like an abyss..
“Don't be scared. Because there was no such thing as a loss.”
“fall damage……?”
“This means there is no fall damage..”
I personally explained it to her, but Amelia still didn't understand what I was saying..
There seemed to be some resistance to falling..
So I just picked up Amelia and jumped down..
“……!”
Any normal person would scream, but Amelia was different. Even if you pull out my hair and hold on, you won't let out a single moan..
Cooung-!
With such a heavy impact sound, we arrived at the foot of the cliff..
After some time, Amelia came to her senses and got off my shoulder..
Then he glared at me and sighed..
“Why is this guy who can act delicate always…….”
“what did you say?”
“…….”
“That's it, Barbarian. So where is the enemy??”
I think I was a little annoyed because they called me Barbarian instead of Yandel, but this is a problem that can be solved later, so I'll pass..
“It'll be out soon.”
In fact, as soon as you raise your shield and warn, vibrations echo throughout the space..
And then he appeared.
Cooung-!
Bigger than most ogres.
Three horns and one-eyed eyes sprouting from the forehead.
The chest area was torn open as if it had been rotted away, with the ribs exposed.…….
Chureup.
A strangely shaped tongue sticks out from between them..
As if looking at prey.
Oh, of course that part was good..
‘…He doesn't say anything either..’
Originally, the guy who had been running away throughout the crack was boasting that he had finally succeeded in luring him..
“So get ready, Amelia..”
“You name it now…….”
“Anyway, there are only two of us here, right?.”
“Yandel, mistakes always happen..”
Wow, what are you saying?.
I can call you by your real name after a long time.
“I'm saying this all for you—.”
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
Before the nagging got longer, I activated [Giantization] and rushed forward..
After colliding with the next guy and holding him, Amelia stopped talking and started doing her own thing..
「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Self-Replication].」
Like an alter-ego thief, he first selects the clone and then attacks him from both sides as if he were making up for the lack of personnel..
Like twin prosecutors who have been refining their passing skills for a long time, as naturally as water..
「Amelia Rainwales casted [Suragak].」
Putting a kick into the head of a monster several times larger.
「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Power of the Abyss].」
He even uses his aura to cut through the tough skin..
I felt the difference again compared to when I came with the wizard Raven..
While the wizard takes a long time to fire one big blow, Amelia continuously delivers high DPS as a melee weapon..
and…….
‘Obviously, the value itself is high, so the expected value of the deal is high..’
Even if you calculate it against time, Amelia can do much more damage than Raven..
Well, this is assuming that it is possible to get a full deal during that time..
‘Are resources the biggest problem?…….’
Amelia's instantaneous firepower is second only to Erwen's..
However, the period during which that firepower lasts is overwhelmingly short. Due to the combination of essences, it is inevitable that MP will run out quickly.…….
‘Now that I'm in a situation where I have to deal alone, the downside seems even bigger..’
[[Self-replication]'s MP consumption is among the highest..
This is because when the clone uses a skill, the consumption value increases by five times the original amount..
Up until now, I've been able to survive with a lot of MP thanks to [Power of the Abyss].…….
‘This is a problem that should have been solved long ago in the first place..’
In fact, it is entirely thanks to Amelia's physical strength that such shortcomings have not yet surfaced..
Look at me.
「Amelia Lane Wales casted [Replace].」
The alter ego only attracts attention and in most cases, the main body strikes..
Even then, he carefully aims for critical points and always maintains his own pace so that his MP does not fall below a certain level..
Therefore, auras that cost a lot of money were taken out briefly and used only when necessary..
Just like this.
Suddenly-!
After a long battle, Amelia's Auror cut off the guy's head..
If it seemed difficult, I tried to actively intervene..
‘Showing this kind of performance with this half-hearted character.…….’
Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth went up..
「Defeated Hell Giant Herja. EXP +6」
「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」
It's always nice to see a colleague become stronger..
