Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 133

133 episodes team play (3)

The four-story tower in the sky is a stage-type structure.

After completing the ordeal, the door opens, and you choose one of the three stairs to go to the upper stage, and so on.

For reference, there were a total of four types of stairs.

Courage, wisdom, patience, and fate.

So far, we have never taken the stairway of fate.

First of all, the appearance rate was less than 5% compared to other stairs, and… … .

Because there are too many variables in the stairway of fate.

There was no need to choose.

Until all three doors come out by fate.

“Um, can’t we just go in with anything? Nothing happened before. It was just a normal monster coming out and it was over.”

Of course, fate is not necessarily dangerous.

As Misha just said, most of them face trials of courage, wisdom, and perseverance, even if they choose their fate.

but… … .

“It seems Missha was lucky. They say it’s random what kind of ordeal comes from reading a book.”

The problem is that there is a 20% chance that you will encounter a different type of ordeal instead of the three types of stairs.

There were a total of 32 types in the game.

Returning to the first floor, a level 5 monster appears, or suddenly being locked in a closed room, etc.

‘It was terribly hard, but there were a lot of things that paid off, and rather, there were a lot of openly fucked up things.’

So, if some special rewards are the purpose, if you came to hunt, fate was an ordeal that had to be passed unconditionally.

Well, I guess it’s a little different now.

It was time to organize my thoughts.

“Bjorn, why are you still?”

The team members who were discussing what to do next ask for my opinion.

“Once we’ve come to a consensus that it’s better to go anywhere. Isn’t it a bit regretful to waste the remaining time like this?”

I nodded my head in agreement.

“It is.”

The second half of the 4th floor.

At the current hunting speed, you can mine up to 300,000 stones in four days.

Not before dividing by five, but on a per capita basis.

As most of the time spent traveling after entering the labyrinth, each day here is directly related to the total income.

Yes, it was natural to think so.

‘They don’t know what this means.’

On the 4th floor, three stairs of fate never rise at the same time.

If it does, it means one thing.

that you have reached a special stage.

So, it is possible to enter into three types of hidden fields.

‘… … The odds are one in three.’

I looked at the three doors and pondered which one to choose.

And on the way, I realized something and smiled.

“Misha.”

“yes?”

“You choose where you want to go.”

It’s definitely not something I should choose.

Misha looks at the rest of the team as if asking for a doctor.

However, all three of them just shrugged their shoulders as if to believe in Misha’s choice.

“Ah, this is embarrassing… … .”

In the end, Misha, who was sighing, looked at me and approached one of the open doors. Based on the stairs we climbed, the door located in the front.

“As I said in advance, do I not know if a strange monster suddenly appears?”

The dwarf giggled as Misha laid out the insurance.

“Hahaha, what does that mean? Are you trying to avoid responsibility?”

“… … what? What a crazy dwarf!”

“Hey, Hikurod, stop it. Miss Misha is not in trouble… … .”

Team Banpoon’s tee-off pattern that repeats three times a day.

He sighed and looked to the side, then met Rottmiller’s eyes and smiled awkwardly as usual.

“Come on, why don’t we all stop and go?”

When Rotmiller took the lead, clearing the atmosphere, everyone stopped talking and stood in formation.

bang!

The door closed and darkness came.

The darkness was difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead.

Courage, exploration, perseverance. At the beginning, which is different from any ordeal, everyone was taken aback for a while.

Rotmiller whispered briefly.

The most important information when faced with an unfamiliar situation.

“Not now.”

presence of enemies.

Rotmiller informed his colleagues first, and then warned them.

“Stay still. There may be pitfalls.”

Either way, he’s a great explorer.

It must have been a brief moment.

what you have to do

Of course, this was no different with the dwarf.

“Bjorn, I’ll take care of the back, so just take care of the front.”

A serious voice that erased the laughter.

The moment the two voices resounded simultaneously, the surrounding darkness was lifted.

A straight passage divided in all directions like a maze.

A torch that is hung on the wall at regular intervals to create an eerie atmosphere.

I quickly checked my surroundings and came to a conclusion.

“The character has entered the Labyrinth of Larkaz.”

Larkaz’s Labyrinth.

One of the three hidden fields belonging to the Tower of the Sky.

The characteristic is that in this maze, even the guide did not show that ability.

and… … .

「Field Effect – Guardian of Balance is granted.」

「The stats of the entrants are adjusted equally.」

The sum of the character’s abilities is redistributed according to the number of people

“What, what! what is this! Maybe I picked the wrong one? Rotmiller!”

Misha looked around and looked at Rot Miller with an anxious look.

But there was no way he could give an answer.

“I’m sorry. I have no information about this phenomenon.”

“Me, me too. I’ve never heard of a phenomenon that leads explorers to places like this during the ordeal of fate.”

“Oh, it’s not that dangerous… … ?”

At Misha’s words, all the members kept their mouths shut.

It was natural.

It’s ironic, but the thing that the explorer fears the most is the unknown.

“… … .”

A cold silence descends.

However, that time was not long.

The guys who started talking urgently like the silent lie from a while ago.

“… … How about staying still like this? We only have four days left, so we can hold on.”

“We don’t know about this space yet. If it is a space with a structure similar to a crack… … .”

“Then you won’t be locked up here forever in 4 days!!”

All sorts of speculation and anxiety are pouring in.

I don’t know if it’s on the 5th floor, where information is rarely shared, but how would you have known that you would fall in a place like this on the 4th floor?

“Why don’t we check our condition first?”

“yes?”

“Misha, what has changed in you?”

I pretended not to know anything and induced him to check his condition first.

“Ah, then I saw… … Strangely, it seems that your body has become a little lighter?”

Misha had a long and gloomy reaction.

“Um, I don’t know. Isn’t that an illusion?”

Whether it was just the average stats in the party, the dwarf did not feel any change.

Unlike Rotmiller or Dwalkie.

“It would not be an illusion. Your body is so full of vitality, you can’t help but not recognize it.”

“Me, me too. The magic power has increased a lot. This doesn’t seem like it would be too much of a level 6 magic, but what the heck… … .”

What happened, how did it happen

It all came out of my muscles.

Even if there were only three Essences, they were all Essences with ridiculously high stats.

damn communism.

‘How much is the loss of muscle… … ?’

I spread the weight by placing the heavy mace on the floor.

Misha was the first to notice this behavior.

“Bjorn? Where are you sick?”

“Your body is weird. Somehow, I don’t feel strong.”

“What?”

While Misha approaches me worriedly.

Rottmiller made a conjecture.

“It is clear that there are conditions. It’s not like it’s a place where everyone gets stronger.”

“Condition? What are the conditions that made me weak and you guys strong? This is unfair!”

He pretended to ask a question and gave a hint.

Then, as expected, Rotmiller came up with a rather plausible hypothesis.

No, this is enough to call it a hypothesis.

“Maybe our abilities are mixed together… … .”

“yes? What does that mean?”

“I’m not sure yet, so I’ll tell you when it’s sorted out.”

Well, if that’s enough, I think I’ll figure it out and explain to them what this is.

I slowly moved on to the next one.

Because the time was running out to keep messing around.

“Then what now?”

“Bjorn, what do you think?”

“I think it’s right for me to explore this place and find a way out.”

“The reason is?”

I answered without any hesitation.

“If it’s a place that other people don’t know about, doesn’t it mean that the reward is huge?”

“It’s an explorer’s point of view.”

Despite Rotmiller’s sentiments, he proudly spread his shoulders.

No matter what you say, the explorer’s ultimate goal is money.

In fact, the motivation became clear.

“Actually, I might be locked up here in four days, but it’s kind of like staying still… … ?”

“Hahaha, aren’t we also famous explorers? It would be good to explore the surroundings, even if it is slow.”

Even in the eyes of the trio who were nervous and anxious, there was a small amount of enthusiasm.

Of course, Dwalkie’s words were decisive.

“Ahh! I just heard this idea, but maybe this is the arrangement left by the Last Great Sage!”

“What? Are you talking about the arrangement of Gabrillius?”

“exactly… … There seems to be a possibility. Three steps of fate appeared at the same time. Like this bizarre phenomenon.”

Arrangement of Gabrilius.

Simply put, what people here refer to as what I used to call ‘Hidden Peace’.

The dwarf shouted with aspirations.

“okay! Isn’t it from the 4th floor anyway? There will be no absurd monsters!”

4 days left until the labyrinth is closed.

So Tim Banpuni’s last expedition began.

***

Larkaz’s Labyrinth.

When I left Misha to choose, it wasn’t the type of hidden field I wanted the most.

Yes, the final reward is the best of the three, but… … .

‘It must be difficult to wake up in 4 days.’

The maze takes a long time due to the nature of the field.

Finding the boss is also looking for it, because it takes a lot of ground work to defeat him with all our power.

So, I decided not to overdo it.

Contrary to their concerns, it’s not like a crack where you’re trapped if you don’t clear it in time… … .

Even if you didn’t have to clear it, some attractive rewards were scattered throughout this maze.

“Then let’s go.”

I stood in the formation as pre-determined and stepped out into the maze in earnest.

“I think we can go on.”

I take the lead, and Rottmiller closely follows behind me, checking for any traps.

Oh, and there’s a dwarf at the back.

Well, this isn’t the only place where monsters appear in front of you.

“Miss Misha, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you.”

“What are you talking about? I have to protect you.”

“Fufu, then let’s just protect each other.”

“… … What do you mean?”

Anyway, it was such a place, so our team’s two main dealers were located in the center.

Not only is it the safest place, but I have to provide support depending on the situation, either in front or behind.

[Meek, meek, meek!]

It must have been about 3 minutes since the exploration started in earnest?

A monster appeared at a fork in the road.

It was the first reward of Larkaz Labyrinth.

“It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen. Bjorn, be careful.”

The first monster you encounter.

By itself, it is like sweet rain for us.

[Dungeon & Stone] is a game where you can barely reach level 5 even if you kill all the monsters below the 4th floor.

Isn’t that contradictory?

You have to eat 5 grades 6 and 7 essence to be able to hunt reliably on the 5th floor, but if you don’t go to the 5th floor, you won’t be able to get to level 5.

‘This is why there are no newbies.’

Oh, isn’t it enough to go up to the 5th floor and be a newbie?

I grabbed the shield with both hands, erasing unnecessary questions.

It’s kind of awkward without a mace, but… … .

It’s too heavy to wield with one hand at the current strength level, so I just put it in my backpack.

I think it’s better to just leave the deal to the dealer.

[Meek!!!]

The monster that was hesitant to see us from afar screamed and ran towards me.

And at the same time, Dwalky exclaimed.

“Oh, I saw it in a book! Bykundus!”

A rank 6 monster, Vikundus.

It is easy to associate with a goat that walks on two legs.

Its height, including its dignified horns, is about 2.5m.

For reference, the weapon is a very large halberd held in both hands.

Quang-!

Halberd slams his shield down, and the heavy weight is transmitted through his body.

From the beginning, I thought it was a good idea to give up Mace.

If I had only one hand, it would have been difficult to hold on to the state I am now.

‘Nimiral.’

Was it because he shared his bloody physical shame with his comrades?

I feel like I’m dealing with a 5th grade instead of a 6th grade.

Well, there was no difficulty in the battle itself.

「Real Warb Dwalky has cast the 8th grade secondary magic [Freeze Enhancement].」

「Real Warb Dwalky has cast the 8th grade attack magic [Ice Lance].」

While I was being attacked by Goat Head, Dwalkie perfected a single mastery attack spell.

“Bjorn!”

Soon after, Dwalky called me, and I immediately fled to the side as I had come together.

This has always been the case here.

But, what the hell is this?

Fish-out-!

The size of the ‘ice window’ passing by is different.

The wind pressure that blows out is enough to cool your skin.

Naturally, the result was different from usual.

Aww-!!

It wouldn’t be strange if a ‘fire ball’ was stuck instead of an ‘ice lance’.

“uh?”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, who had been waiting for the right time for the next link, spit out the wind.

It deserved it.

Because Vikundus, whose name is a level 6 monster, has already become a light and is disappearing.

「You have defeated Baikundus. EXP +4”

Well, it’s strange that his physical figure has decreased.

It was all converted into his magical power.

“This is my magic… … ?”

Seeing Dwalky muttering, I realized.

Here he is no longer half a penny.

That is to say.

‘If that’s the case, it’ll be a different story.’

It wouldn’t hurt to try to clear.
