Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 139

139 Fire Awakening (2)

“The [Ogre Essence] permeates the character’s soul.”

「Increases strength by +140.」

「Resistance power increases by +80.」

“Physical resistance increases by +40.”

“All resistances are increased by +10.”

「Natural regeneration rate decreases by -40.」

“Awareness decreases by -20.”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I checked my watch.

Fortunately, little time passed.

Well, just in case, I got it done in a hurry and came out.

“… … .”

After watching my colleagues sleep for a moment, I took out my knife.

And he drew on the back of his hand as if he was sawing.

square square square.

After giving it a lot of force and going back and forth about ten times, the blood drips out of it, one drop at a time.

As I watched the wounds that did not regenerate, it was only then that I realized it.

The concept of the character really changed in an instant.

wow.

I clench my fists in the air.

Changes in the body were clearly recognizable, but not as sharp as when taking the Orc Hero Essence.

It’s not incomprehensible.

Not only is the vampire essence gone, but ‘Guardian of Balance’ is still in effect.

‘Exactly how much muscle strength has increased will only be felt when you go outside.’

I took a moment to calculate the profit and loss while watching over the passageway lit by torches.

‘Oh come… … .’

Ogre.

A 3rd-grade monster with stats and skills that a tanker can’t help but admire. However, the essence of this bastard was not in my final combination.

There were more practical reasons than nonconformity judgments.

A level 3 monster that is still difficult to catch.

Besides, do you have to even get the color you want out of the 7 active skills?

Not only is the difficulty level too high… … .

When it comes to ‘defense’, there is a level 4 monster ‘steel giant’ that is more efficient than this guy.

‘Instead, the steel giant has the disadvantage of not being able to use a weapon.’

In the end, it was a matter of taste at this point.

Do you even take the dill or focus on the tang a little more?

The performance difference between the two essences was subtle, so in most plays, I chose the extreme tang.

Rather, he decided that it would be more reasonable to raise the dealer by trying to eat the ogre essence.

In fact, that judgment was correct.

As a result, I was able to open the original version of the ‘Abyss Gate’ that no one could reach.

However… … .

‘Strictly speaking, the ogres are a little better.’

Changing the training method fluidly is the beauty of this game, and it is also the skill of the player.

In the first place, the final combination wasn’t exactly what it was, what it was, and what it was.

All blanks except for key integers.

Three or four candidates with similar performance were selected for each role, and the one that came out first was taken and moved on to the next.

What I want is to clear the game, not just the main character.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not a yellow essence, but it’s not enough to change the whole way of raising… … .’

a little confused

Obviously, I replaced the vampire essence in anticipation of ‘steel giant’ as the best case number, but should I say that the result was more than that?

‘What are the alternative conditions? If it’s Vampire Guardian Essence, will it be possible to upgrade to 2nd level after confirming the Guardian?’

pure question.

My curiosity as a gamer is welling up, but I struggle to suppress my thoughts.

‘This is about 30%. No, you want 40%?’

He rethinks his survival rate according to the changed situation, and draws a new battle method in detail in his head.

In order to increase the possibility even a little bit more.

What I can do right now at this moment.

‘… … I’d rather take off my armor. There’s no way I can wait until he’s ready.’

Just like a swordsman preparing for a decisive battle sharpens his sword the night before.

Refine your plans and find better options.

‘The penalty for cognitive decline is not as severe as I thought. If the strength ratio is this much, there will be no pushing with force.’

The small pieces of the plan are intertwined one by one to form a single shape.

However, the more you do, the faster your heart beats.

heart-!

The future is like broken glass.

No one can fully predict the outcome.

Just like when the hierarchical monarch was summoned.

However, rather… … .

heart-!

Are there more things you can do to prepare?

Maybe there’s something I’ve been thinking about wrong.

As if dealing with a test paper on which life is at stake, he continues to ponder without compromising.

how long has it passed

“Bjorn.”

Rotmiller wakes up and quietly calls my name.

It meant the time had come.

I hurriedly woke up my co-workers and checked the clock.

[09:47]

About 4 hours have passed since I took a break.

In other words, about 38 hours were left until the labyrinth was closed.

“It’s faster than expected. They must have a way to track us down, too.”

Rottmiller’s advice fell through one ear.

It was information I already knew… … .

If there is information I need to engrave in my head right now, it won’t be like that.

‘Yes, it takes four hours to get here.’

All prerequisites for New Plan A have been met.

so… … .

Tub.

Now I have no choice but to throw the dice.

***

thump, thump.

Footsteps in the dark at regular intervals.

It comes towards us as if suffocating our necks.

Don’t rush, take it slow.

Tub-

Sooner or later, the gnome entered within the line of sight.

By the way, the companion is one poor polite uncle.

As if they were looking for us and offered up as a sacrifice, blood is dripping from one wrinkled eye.

“It’s too cruel.”

“Why would the author do such a thing to a colleague? … .”

Everyone frowned at the bizarre sight, but I breathed a silent sigh of relief.

After all, that old man was left in front of the portal.

If I had come with you, there wouldn’t have been an answer.

It was the car that I had in my mind or thoughts like that.

Tub-

The gnome stops walking at an appropriate interval.

And a heavy silence came.

“What, are you all alive?”

The guy smiles softly and speaks.

It was far from the reaction I had expected in my heart.

I didn’t think it was strange at all to stab him in the stomach first.

what?

“The power suddenly returned, so I thought someone was dead.”

With those words, all discomfort was relieved.

That’s how it was.

‘Somehow, he was strangely calm.’

The guy hasn’t noticed yet.

The fact that I gulped ‘controlled hope’.

Well, after listening to it, I thought that he could think like that from his point of view.

Until the next word goes on.

“Oh yeah. Have you ever eaten Vikundus Essence?”

In the midst of this, he offers new possibilities.

There was some laughter.

‘I didn’t know that this bastard would do what you said.’

Even if 8 people share the figure because of the guardian of the balance, the increase is incomparable to something like Vikundus.

This guy must have felt it, too.

However… …

You have already decided on the answer you want, and you are looking for evidence to prove it, but is there any way to reach the correct answer?

‘Dragon Slayer, Regal Bagos.’

I wrote one more sentence about him in my head.

Surprisingly, this guy was a positive guy.

But, did my smile make something ominous?

“… … Barbarian, did you keep your oath?”

He erases his relaxed attitude and asks me.

I stared at him without answering.

Expressing the meaning of what you are doing.

But maybe even this wasn’t enough for him.

“Things, where are they?”

he asks me again

This time, there is annoyance in his voice.

I tried to deny it because of the sunk cost, but I am slowly feeling it myself.

The truth is that you may have been fooled.

“… … Maybe it’s already been written?”

Finally he asked, and I answered.

“Oh, it wasn’t intentional.”

“… … What?”

“sorry. I’m just bored and fiddling with it, so why not break it?”

Even with my sincere apology, he trembled like an aspen.

He also slowly accepted the truth.

warrior’s oath.

It was the savages with only one honor, protecting their lives as if they were devoted partners.

that he was deceived by it.

“I didn’t mean to keep my oath in the first place.”

A tingling sensation is felt through the skin.

But like a K-Barbarian from Korea, I proudly spread my shoulders.

“Oh, so don’t say you’re sorry—”

“die.”

When the voice was heard, the sword was already visible from a close distance.

In that brief moment, the distance narrowed this much.

While provoking him, he was able to respond in time because he was keeping an eye on his every move.

slurp.

raise the shield

And it’s not about stopping… … .

Quang-!

Strike the sword with all your might.

It is a countermeasure created by simulating a battle with a gnome during the remaining time.

Isn’t his name Akje Longsword?

It must have been clear that blocking it would only make a hole in the shield.

“Dwalky!”

As soon as he shouted, pushing him away with his overflowing strength.

The magic previously briefed is fired.

“Real Warb Dwalky has cast a 7th grade attack magic [Frost Storm].”

Fortunately, they seem to have completed all the magic spells while chatting and wasting time.

aa-!

Sharp shards of ice swirl and fill the passage.

The cold enough to make you shiver even when you are out of range because it clings to the wall.

But, ironically, at the end of the blizzard, a strange heat was felt.

It was obvious what it was.

「Regal Vagos has cast [Forge].」

[blast furnace].

One of the abilities of a Level 4 monster, Lava Giant.

A buff-type skill that becomes immune to cold and fire damage when activated, and greatly increases the physical level.

It was information from 10 years ago, so I was still a little worried.

I still had that.

Cheeky profit-!

I tore the scroll with no regrets.

It was obtained by defeating ‘Argos’, one of the middle bosses, and it should have been used to catch the Minotaur according to the norm.

“Target designation complete.”

「The ‘Essence of the Lava Giant’ possessed by Regal Bagos will be sealed for 48 hours.」

As the scroll burned and disappeared, the heat on the other side of the passage also ended.

Okay, one of the rank 4 essences was cut off.

How was the guy?

🥺🥺-!

The blizzard that had frozen the entire passageway soon cleared.

The guy was standing still.

Without any damage, from behind the black curtain as translucent as a window.

“Did you just believe this?”

The guy looked at us and smiled mischievously.

If you thought this surprise was a number of conversions, there was nothing you could not understand.

But what about this?

‘I hope things will turn out this way.’

The skill he just used is [Dark Curtain].

And this skill doesn’t exist in the list of gnome essences that Rotmiller told me.

In other words, one of the variables that was on the boundary was confirmed.

‘The remaining unidentified integers are now one or two.’

Of course, you may have other numbered items, so keep that in mind—

Wheeik-!

Without even having time to organize my thoughts, his new model is shot at me again.

Like before, he tried to hit the sword with his shield, but he was also an intelligent being who learned.

Whoo-!

The shield cuts through the air.

Upon recognizing it, a feeling of foreign body was transmitted along with a slight pain in the shoulder area.

Scratch!

When I checked, the arc-made longsword, which had cut the lithium shield like a tofu, was digging into my forearm.

about 3 cm.

“… … ?”

A momentary moment when each other’s gazes intersect.

There was a look of embarrassment in the man’s eyes.

I was going to cut off my whole arm, but why didn’t it get stuck like this?

The answer is simple.

‘Hey, what’s my physical resistance level now?’

Ogre’s passive skill [Ironskin].

A skill with insane performance that doubles physical resistance and increases physical resistance by 2 times only for slash attacks.

If the stats are similar as ‘Guardian of Balance’, it is natural that even an arc-made long sword can withstand it.

However… … .

‘Zeep, I didn’t mean to show it so early.’

Until the perfect opportunity comes.

If possible, I wanted to hide it by blocking the sword with a shield.

However, at his level, it would be possible to infer what kind of essence this ability is from this alone.

‘head.’

As soon as I saw the crown covered with burns, I made a decision.

It is an active skill possessed by the red essence of the ogre,

[Flesh Explosion] A proper first attack skill that I had only had the same attack aircraft.

I don’t know why the skill name of the guy who even has the nickname of Tyrant of the Forest is…

「The character has cast [Swipe].」

“The destructive power of the blunt force increases significantly in proportion to its strength.”

Well, if only the effect was good.

Whoo!

I swung the mace as hard as I could.
