Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 165

Exploring Episode 165 (4)

An expandable backpack worth 2 million stones.

Steel daggers and miscellaneous equipment.

A bundle of consumables that would be more effective against humans than monsters.

and… … .

“What the hell was that person doing?”

A spoonful of disgust that fell like a stone.

These were the things that a masked man whose name we did not know left to us.

“Anyway, I don’t think he’s just an ordinary predator. Going alone, and at the end… … .”

A masked man who chooses to kill himself as soon as the situation becomes unfavorable.

It is far from a normal situation for anyone to look at.

but… … .

“Stop worrying. If you come here and wonder, there is nothing you can find out.”

The truth is already buried in darkness.

So we have no choice but to go on the path we used to take with us.

That’s the tribe of explorers, right?

“Bjorn. How many cotton candy is this?”

Ainar asked with watery eyes, and Raven Cha, who I was about to answer, opened her mouth.

“If you add it all up, it will be around 3.5 million stones.”

“… … Do you have any knowledge on this side?”

“You have to sell it in the city to know for sure, but the error will be small. I got a general appraiser license in the past.”

Well, there is such a thing… … .

When I asked in detail, special emotional love was something else. Do you think that you can only get value if you can determine the value only with pure knowledge, not skill?

“Mr. Yandel, please study later when you have time. There is no need to haggle while fighting for nothing if you just show this. A trade broker license may be a bit difficult, but—”

“Okay. I’ve never lost a fight.”

Before he could brag about himself, he stopped talking and resumed his exploration. The process was not much different from when the team was half-pun.

Taking the stairs of wisdom as the 1st priority and the stairs of courage as the 2nd priority, he focused only on climbing the tower.

“… … Ugh, are you wandering in the maze all day again?”

“If there is no professional explorer, there is nothing we can do about it.”

It was not too hard to find a way whenever I took the stairs of wisdom, but I had to do my best to find the way.

Well, my mother-in-law is right next to me.

“4 hours and 34 minutes.”

“Four hours and 11 minutes.

“3 hours 59 minutes.”

Raven counts the time at the end of the maze.

Fortunately, the record gradually decreased as we climbed higher. It is thanks to the know-how that I have gained by acting as a guide.

Well, it was a long way to follow Rottmiller.

“Four hours and 35 minutes. Did it suddenly increase this time?”

“… … Ainar stepped on the trap and had no choice but to do so.”

“consideration.”

Day 9, Day 10, Day 11… … .

After that, time passed quickly, and from the 12th day onwards, we just slept without a vigil.

“Are you going to set a non-visit number today?”

“… … It would be a waste.”

“Huh, what the hell is this because of that bastard? Isn’t this over the line? It’s not anywhere else, it’s a surprise attack here… … .”

Misha is resentful as if the sanctuary had been invaded.

Actually, I felt the same way.

This was the only place I could rest my mind and rest.

‘Nimiral.’

Although there were various things, the exploration proceeded smoothly, and by the 16th day, it reached stage 100.

From now on, it is possible to search the portal to the 5th floor.

“Two hours and 41 minutes… … . It’s really fast.”

Raven, who acted like her mother-in-law every day, also had a satisfied smile on her lips.

By the way, this was also the case for me.

‘Actually, I found out that he was a genius guide?’

The wall of three hours was thick, even if we were living and dying.

However, I gained one realization and was able to shorten the record beyond the magical section.

Traps are easier and faster to break.

“Ah, Mr. Yandel. How long did it take you to get here when you had expert explorers on your team?”

“It took about 12 days.”

“It’s not bad in four days. It will be much more comfortable on the 5th floor as it is a combination without the explorer.”

I also agree.

We lost four days due to the absence of the seeker, but we are not a composition where all of our team members are combat characters.

You have to make up for it in battle.

However… … .

‘Who, can’t you just give me some compliments?’

It was a time when such dissatisfaction lingered inside.

Misha came over and tapped my shoulder.

“Bjorn, you’ve been through a lot. I really didn’t know this was going to happen. Perhaps we are the only team the barbarians guide us on?”

After all, there is only you… … .

“Uh-huh.”

Misha’s words made him feel a bit nauseous, so Uncle Bear coughed and stepped forward.

It seems that he was ashamed of himself for entrusting the role of a guide to a barbarian while being a guide.

“Then it’s time for me to go.”

I handed over the steering wheel.

This is because you need to open the doors in the correct order to get to the 5th floor… … .

“Which door can I open?”

“That door over there.”

That’s why India is a scam.

Even if the stats of the sensory system do not exceed a certain number, you can recognize the magic of the portal with one innate talent.

“I have chosen the Stairs of Courage.”

「I have chosen the Stairway of Wisdom.」

“I chose the stairs of courage… … .”

So, using Uncle Bear as a compass, I headed towards the portal that was hiding somewhere in the tower.

The repetition of opening the door and breaking the ordeal.

It was time to spend another night and continue exploring, opening 10 more doors in total.

“Finally, this is the last door.”

We reached the stage in front of the portal.

It is time to look at the end of the 17th day.

It was time to go camping soon, so I thought I should take a break and open the door tomorrow.

However… … .

“I think I will be able to concentrate better now.”

Considering the characteristics of Raven, who is vulnerable in the morning, we decided to proceed today.

The portal room is also the boss room.

The better the condition of the wizard, the better.

“As I said before, a level 5 monster will appear here unconditionally.”

“You mean that vampire-like monster?”

Ainar gripped the sword with eyes full of excitement and anticipation. He seems to want to quickly check how much he has changed from when he was powerless.

eating.

There was some laughter.

Originally, I was told not to relax, and the survival rate of aspiring graduates who reached this point was less than 50%.

I was going to add something like that, but… … .

“Hey, why aren’t you talking?”

there would be no meaning

Not even a barbarian.

“I forgot.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go get George.”

I opened the door.

Then I climbed the stairs and headed to the next stage.

A stone chamber with a familiar tombstone in the center.

When all five of them entered, the door closed and a monster was summoned.

[Ahhh—!!]

Without realizing it, I laughed again.

I was wondering what kind of guy was going to come out.

“It’s a troll!”

Yeah, I have to give him up to feel like I’m graduating.

***

troll.

[Dungeon and Stone] The guy who made me smashed my keyboard when I was in my first year… … .

The same bastard with a track record of putting us on the brink of annihilation when Tim Banpoon was a kid.

“Is it distortion magic? I heard that troll by-products are that expensive.”

Well, he’s also very talkative.

If you’re at rank 5, the pier would be pretty good.

“done. After all, purified water is expensive anyway.”

“If so.”

That time when Raven and I had a brief conversation.

Koo-!

The troll screamed and stretched his feet forward.

So, I also hit the ground to play the tank role.

「The character has cast [Giantization].」

The difference in weight was reduced in an instant.

As the distance decreased, the troll swung a large fist.

Quang!

A heavy shock transmitted through a giant shield.

But is it because he ate ogre essence?

not cool at all

‘The shield is still intact.’

The lithium shield, which was crumpled every time it received a fist, also did not falter this time.

This is thanks to the 6-step engraving effect [Unification].

Now, the performance of the equipment I wear is enhanced in proportion to the total of the stats.

Yeah, how much did I pay to take this picture!

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”

After boosting his stats with [Feral Eruption], he smashed the mace with all his might.

「The character has cast [Swipe].」

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

The target hit point is the head.

However, due to his twisting, the giant mace slammed into his shoulder.

Till!

A deformed shoulder with a striking sound that was pleasant to hear.

It was dislocated in just one room.

It used to take six hits just to break the fleshy joints.

[Ahhh—!!]

Of course, like a troll, who is synonymous with healing power, the bones were reattached in a matter of seconds.

But this is enough to measure my combat power.

‘Let’s take a look.’

I was focused on defense, observing my teammates.

First of all, from the original member, Misha.

I haven’t absorbed any new essence since then, but… … .

Sigh-!

A swung sword cuts through a troll’s skin so easily.

it is the power of sage

Isn’t it an Irish longsword that was purchased for a whopping 12 million stones?

If you can’t do this, go ahead and get a refund.

“Behel—la ah ah ah!!”

It was a shout from Ainar.

Perhaps he was envious of Misha, who was active first, Ainar immediately joined the battle line and wielded a great sword.

Whoops-!

Strong wind pressure rises along the sword’s trajectory, and afterimages appear.

Oh, is it a bit too much to call it an afterimage?

「Einer Fnelin has cast [Cleave].」

An active skill of the 4th grade Essence inherited from the Elder.

The effect is simple.

When slashing once, applies the effect of slashing twice.

Scratch! Scratch!

Oh, of course, it had little effect against trolls.

A greatsword that only penetrated about 3cm despite the added weight of the greatsword to its superior strength.

This is because Ainar’s only skill is [Cleave].

It’s a skill that is difficult to achieve with a normal hit.

“This guy’s skin is tough… … Aww!”

Ainar accepted the troll’s fist and stepped back. He woke up again, but blood was dripping from his lips.

Looks like an organ is injured.

“Behel—la ah ah ah!!”

However, Ainar ate the potion and instead of resting behind him, he clinged to him again and swung his great sword.

It was a rational choice rather than a stubborn one.

This time, the great sword had a young red color.

Bone Knight’s active skill obtained from the Blood Citadel.

「Einer Pnelin has cast [Absorb Life].」

「When you deal damage to living things, your regeneration power is temporarily increased.」

Ainar bleeds when he hits an enemy.

A great quality to have as a sub-diltan.

Using [Cleave] together with [Absorb vitality], Ainar regained his original state in a few cuts.

‘The deal is lower than that of Missha, but the tanking is much better.’

After watching the two battles for a while, I checked the strengths and weaknesses, and the points to be supplemented in the future.

‘Einar, I’ll have to get one of the attack planes that I can use quickly and feed it. Misha should feed more animal blood and raise it from the soul beast level.’

It was a time when I was roughly dealing with the troll with that thought.

Uncle Bear asked from behind.

“Can we wear it now?”

“Ah, were you waiting for me?”

“I wonder how well these two girls will fight.”

“I am not a lady!!!”

It’s Ainar’s cry. Anyway, when I said my words of consent, Uncle Bear also joined the war.

“Abman Urikfrit has summoned the Cheol-Woong Iradun.”

However, did you judge that the front line was already overflowing because it wasn’t enough?

Uncle Bear summoned the spirit beast from behind like a bodyguard and then fired a crossbow in earnest.

Push! Push! Push!

An arrow that pierces deep into the body of the troll with a huge pounding sound each time it is fired.

Even in the hit part, there is a sense of sophistication.

An attack method that restricts action by driving it into a joint such as the elbow or knee.

Sigh-!

Misha and Ainar joined forces to cut off the troll’s arm.

And the [Super Regeneration] pattern started.

The playback speed was slow because Raven had applied the ‘deteriorating’ magic in advance.

‘Now there’s nothing more to see.’

The car I was about to cut off the troll’s head with a mace.

“stop!”

Uncle Bear stopped me.

“The third girl should also be active.”

“… … Could you please stop calling me Miss?”

Soon, Raven grunted and swung his wand.

Like Dwalkie, he didn’t even tell me to avoid it.

Rather than having no consideration, it is closer to deciding that there is no need for it.

「Arua Raven has cast a level 5 attack magic [Thunder Spear].」

White lightning that was shot while avoiding our location in a zigzag manner.

My eyes flashed.

The sound was next.

Kwak kwak kwak-!!

When I realized it, the troll’s head had already been blown away.

dump.

A troll that falls to the floor and disappears as a light.

Oh, of course, there was no water this time.

***

Killed the troll.

It’s also very easy to play with.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing dangerous on the fifth floor. Because that’s where many 5th grade monsters come out.

Whoops-!

A portal opened when the troll died.

However, we did not go up to the 5th floor immediately and camped. It’s time to go to sleep anyway, so I decided that it would be better to sleep more comfortably for one day.

‘Is this the real beginning?’

I tossed and turned for a while with anxiety and anticipation, then fell asleep.

and the next morning.

To be precise, around 7 am on the 18th day.

“Wow, I really want to go to the 5th floor… … .”

After we finished packing our belongings, we entered the portal.

“You have entered the 5th floor Daema-gyeong.”

This means that the first part is graduating.

It’s time to go on a real adventure.
