Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 67
67angry field boss (3)
To-duk, to-duk, to-duk-
Black rain that makes your skin tingle just by touching it..
i know what this is.
[rain of despair]
Lord of Chaos Liakis' passive aura skill.
「The character is taking continuous damage from the chaos attribute..」
「The character's resistance is greatly reduced..」
「Warning: When continuously exposed to chaos attribute damage, there is a certain probability that the status ailment [Confusion] will be applied..」
This skill not only inflicts area-wide damage, but also turns the terrain hit by rainwater into an erosion zone and removes all types of field effects..
That means.
‘Nimiral…….’
I thought it was impossible, but it really came..
“No, you are a bastard! The guy came!”
“Hey, hey! What are you doing! Don't go and stop him!”
Panic breaks out among the explorers on the third floor who paid protection fees..
And focuses attention on one place.
“I'm sure you're not trying to run away from us.!”
“You said you would protect me, but you even took the equipment! take responsibility!”
Emotional cries from dozens of people.
The official who had announced several times as a representative in front of the crowd smiled bitterly and sighed heavily..
“…This is what happens in the end.”
It's not that I can't understand how he feels right now..
Since they have received protection money, the only option they have is to fight against the class lord with all their might..
but…….
“This expedition will cause great damage..”
Surprisingly, there was only confusion on the executive's face, and no signs of anxiety or nervousness..
He soon caught his breath and shouted loudly..
“Riakis, the Lord of Chaos, has arrived! Take out everything you prepared!!”
Instructions that rang loudly.
Accordingly, those who have the Dzarwi clan's emblem engraved on their hearts move in perfect order..
“Each team goes to each location!”
Wizards, priests, and ranged dealers go to the center..
Melee warrior explorers head to the outskirts.
And they start using all kinds of consumables without hesitation..
「Advanced Endurance Auxiliary Scroll was used..」
「Used energy regeneration auxiliary scroll.」
「The number item [Sun Lord's Flag] was used..」
「The light of Ercium dwells in the weapon.…….」
「…….」
「…….」
Various doping-type magic scrolls, consumable number items, and various types of equipment auxiliary consumables..
In just less than a minute.
At least 10 million stone worth of consumables become light and disappear..
“There are enough supplies, so don’t skimp! At least one more of us will return alive!”
I felt like I underestimated them..
Now that I see it, I wasn't lacking in imagination..
They were already fully prepared, even considering the worst situation..
‘Nevertheless, protection money was received…….’
They literally just bet on it..
Because that is a little more likely..
eat-
For some reason, I started laughing without realizing it..
‘After all, there are too many efficient creatures in this world..’
We need to be a little more humble..
These people must have risked their lives countless times to become explorers and get to where they are today..
But it couldn't have been luck that got to that position..
“You always carry this much material with you.…….”
“It is also a large clan.!”
Rather than belittling, we should always be on guard..
If you're jealous, it would be more efficient to find something to learn from the report..
“Bjorn, what are you going to do now??”
“What should I do? I'll just have to watch for now.”
That was the original plan in the first place.
Since I've encountered a class lord, I have to take a big risk just to leave this place..
Well, if there is no right answer, you have to jump out right away, even if it means taking risks.…….
‘This should be enough to hold on.’
As if to prove this, a wall of fire surrounds us in the shape of a circle..
It's not an essence skill, it's just a magic spell..
「The elemental of chaos has been destroyed.」
「The location will be eroded.」
After it started raining.
The chaos spirit that began to surge like a tidal wave was unable to break through the fire wall and was destroyed..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Additionally, the huge barrier formed above the head even blocked the pouring rainwater..
Well, there's only so much that can be blocked with a wall of fire or a barrier..
“Bjorn, look over there.!”
A huge shadow slowly grows from where Misha pointed..
Accompanied by a heavy pounding of the ground.
Kuung-! Cooung-!
horns sprouting from the top of the head.
Thick, rough-looking black leather.
An ominous aura flickers above it..
[Gooooooooooo—!]
A beast the size of something out of a monster movie that makes you lose your sense of distance easily overcomes the wall of fire and reveals itself..
“Well, that's it…….”
“Hey, it's Riakis, Lord of Chaos.!!”
While the crowd was scared and backed away at the sight, the clan members remained calm..
“Stay in your place! Never let it go backwards!”
Warriors silently defending their positions as if battles with large monsters were their daily routine..
Wouldn't you like that??
Kwaang-!!
The full-scale battle began with Liakis slamming his front foot down..
***
What about actual raids, not in the game?.
The answer to a long-held curiosity was actually simple..
“Never try to block, just avoid! Do you understand?!”
Not only melee dealers, but even tanks thoroughly avoid head-on combat and are quick to avoid swinging tails or slashing claws..
After all, they probably know best..
No matter how strong your body is and how high your strength level is, there is no way you can compete with such a monster in a battle of strength..
‘Is this what an actual battle with a monarch-level opponent is like? Interesting.’
Is it because it is a role I will have to play someday?.
Certainly, the focus is on the battles of close-range explorers rather than the lines of wizards or dealers..
There is a lot to see and learn..
There were several dizzying scenes..
Kwaaaaang-!!
No matter how hard you try to avoid it,.
There is no way there will be no injuries in a battle with such a high-ranking monster..
Normally, a blow like that would result in immediate death rather than injury.…….
“I can't believe I'm still alive after receiving that?…….”
“…It's really amazing..”
With their stats boosted by numerous essences, various scroll doping, and support from priests and supporter-type explorers, they were already a weapon..
“Ahhhhh!!”
“Shibaaaah, I almost fell.!”
Warriors who receive healing and immediately return to the front lines even when their entire bodies are shattered.
Of course, not everything was like that..
“Damn it, I wasn't such a bastard.…….”
“Don't be distracted and focus on the battle.!”
The battle was prolonged and deaths occurred..
One melee warrior died instantly after being crushed by Liakis's breath, and three ranged dealers who were gathered together melted in an instant..
However, if we analyze the current situation calmly,…….
‘It's still stable so far.’
“Wow, four people have already died... Above, it's not dangerous.?”
3Anyway, this is the reaction of the floor explorers..
The warriors are still holding up well on the front lines..
The wizards' joint magic was also powerful enough to push back Liakis, who was approaching the center..
‘It seems like he clearly recognizes the dark sphere pattern..’
“Well, let’s watch for now! Still, it's not the renowned Dzarwi Clan! I won't do anything for you?”
A black orb creeps up from the eroded ground and heads towards Liakis..
「Lyakis, Lord of Chaos, draws upon the power of the Source..」
The things I was most worried about were also blown up in the air by ranged dealers before being absorbed by Liakis..
“stop the attack!!”
“He shouldn't feel threatened anymore.!”
Also, it was clear now that I was seeing Riakis' life force being managed by stopping the firepower attack in between..
They know the strategy.
‘So, I guess I just have to hold on somehow. If you start phase 2 without that item, it's over..’
“Why stop the attack now? Are they all just idiots? When you gain even a little bit of momentum, be sure to…….”
Well, in a way, it was natural..
10A person who has played [Dungeon & Stone] for years?
I don't know anything about this game?
What does that mean?.
It is just arrogance to think that I am the only one in this world who knows everything..
Labyrinths have existed for thousands of years..
It wasn't like a game world, it was reality for the people here..
You had to go in to make a living, and there must have been a lot of trial and error..
And this would have been passed down to future generations as a record..
‘Really valuable knowledge may be monopolized by only a few..’
Of course, I'm not too worried..
The ‘hidden elements’ that were particularly difficult to find in games seemed to be barely even recognized by people here..
Knowledge as a legacy will still be my greatest weapon in surviving here..
click.
I opened my watch and checked the time..
[22 : 37]
Before I knew it, more than 3 hours had already passed..
Despite the prolonged battle, the clan members faithfully performed their respective roles without losing concentration..
but…….
‘If you use that much consumables, it would be meaningless no matter how much you paid for protection..’
Suddenly, it seemed like I could understand why the large clans did not hunt the hierarchical lords even though they knew the strategy..
Although the reward when subjugating is not small,…….
The enormous amount of goods that goes into it.
The possibility that an elite member could die.
In addition, there is a huge risk that comes back in case of failure..
‘The balance won't be right..’
It was a time when I was thinking like that..
Kwaaaaang-!
For some reason, Liakis ignored the warriors and rushed towards the center, crushing five ranged dealers in an instant..
A situation that can easily occur during a raid..
Fortunately, the warriors gathered their courage and attacked Riakis, putting him back in his original position.…….
In the process, two melee dealers died instantly..
‘Still, it'll be enough to get me through the rest of the time..’
I analyzed the situation again..
A total of 11 deaths to date..
Although this number amounts to 20% of the total force, the remaining personnel are not panicking and are doing what they need to do..
Even though there may be a little gap.
Definitely not enough to lead to fatal results..
The problem is that there are a lot of people around who can't even make such simple judgments..
“Wrong! These incompetent bastards!!”
“Do you know how many people died?!!”
It may not have been [confusion] after stepping on the erosion zone, but panic broke out again among the crowd..
If you understand psychology, there's nothing you can't do..
11 deaths.
This was just calculated based on the actual combat power of the clan members, and every time Riakis went crazy, the explorers who paid the protection fee also died countless times..
‘Was your judgment impaired in a situation where you felt your life was in danger?.’
In my opinion, it was a mistake to be distracted like an idiot while there was a raid right next to me..
But if I say that, they won't listen.
“Bjorn, the atmosphere is unusual..”
“Know.”
“We have to do something too—”
“Wait and see. Are you thinking about it?.”
I looked around as widely as possible..
The clan didn't seem to have noticed this symptom yet as they were focusing only on Riakis..
And in the meantime, a man raises his voice loudly and ignites confusion..
“We can't just watch like this, let's all work together to survive.!”
It was Jack Flitzer who took off his equipment and paid his protection fee before anyone else..
“Do you know how many people have already died? They can't protect us. We must protect ourselves!”
“That's right!”
“But how can I do this if I don't have the equipment?…….”
“I need it back! Anyway, they didn't keep their promise either.?”
Due to his instigation, the death-defying groups that ignored him last time also joined in and their size grew uncontrollably..
I muttered briefly..
“Misha, get ready..”
“Get ready, what??”
“leave here right now.”
This place is already dirty.
***
As soon as I quickly packed my backpack.
As if there were a riot, numerous explorers rushed to the center where supplies were stored..
“Everyone, calm down! If this happens, everyone will be in danger.—”
Only then did the clan realize the situation.…….
It's already late.
“don't be funny!!”
“give me back my equipment!”
Soon, the explorers push away the clan's wizards and archers and begin to grab whatever supplies they can get their hands on with greedy eyes..
“Give it to me! that's mine!!”
“Where is there something like that in this situation?!”
“Get out now! If you don't back down, I will attack you.!”
“Die this way, die that way, it's the same!”
“Why are you hesitating! From now on, they are looters! Kill them all!”
Before I knew it, I had erased the last of my remaining regrets as I saw a scene filled with confusion and madness..
“Bjorn…….”
“Enough of the sightseeing, let’s go..”
“Ah, okay!”
I led Misha and ran to the other side of Liakis..
Before long, a wall of fire surrounded us on all sides, blocking our path..
“What should I do with this?!”
What should I do?.
“It goes through.”
Like a barbarian, you have to hit it with your body..
It's a bit of a burn, but that's it. Now I just need to apply acupuncture and it will heal..
“Oh, I'm serious?!”
Oh, I guess not you..
“evil! Wow!—!”
He picked up Misha with both arms and held it high as if he were cheering. And in that state, he ran forward and quickly crossed the fire wall that seemed to be at least 5 meters thick..
Chii Iik-!
The faint smell of meat.
Even after I overcome my pain tolerance, my skin feels slightly sore..
I asked.
“Misha, are you okay??”
“…Thanks to you, I'm okay. Look ahead rather than that.!”
I soon put down Misha and looked ahead, and there were chaos spirits swarming around..
However, I don't have time to process each one one by one..
“run.”
“Eck! Between me?”
“So is there another way??”
They are already discovering us one by one around us and moving slowly..
Therefore, I quickly ran through the crowd before they got more aggro..
I don’t know the situation over there, so as quickly as possible.—
‘fuck.’
I think I ran at full speed for about 5 minutes..
Suddenly, the surroundings became dark..
It's so dark that it's hard to tell even an inch ahead..
“Bjorn, stay there.?!”
“there is.”
Fortunately, I heard a voice.
“How did this happen??”
Instead of answering, I sighed loudly..
The situation was clear, no need to analyze or anything..
「Chaos Lord Liakis has succeeded in absorbing the power of the Source..」
「Field effect [Evil Gap] is applied in a 5km radius..」
Liakis' instant death and annihilation [Crevice of Evil]].
It looks like that bastard ate all the marbles..
