Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 272

272 Fire Defense (2)

The eastern coastline, where reefs have sprouted here and there.

The place where it was pushed in by the rough waves and crashed our boat.

“You have arrived.”

The sandy beach, which was already half filled with water, was full of monsters.

Ranemut Warriors and Shamans, the representative marine monsters on the 6th floor.

A conch horn that spews venom from a distance.

Garvel, etc., with the unique feature of multiplying up to three times per kill.

“Bjorn, I’ll help too.”

Ainar expressed concern over the size of a hundred and took a step forward.

Well, you’re just watching him.

“done.”

“What? However… … .”

But that’s what but.

Oh, come to think of it, I ate this essence and never showed it in front of him.

“Don’t worry. That alone is enough.”

I posed with a mace like a batter with a baseball bat.

and… … .

“Erwen.”

“Yes, what shall we do this time?”

“wind.”

I took out the Elemental Barbarian (Wind) mod.

“Erwen Fornazi di Tersia has cast [Spiritized].”

The shape of a sharp wind that began to circulate around my skin as it wrapped around my body.

“The spirit of wind resides in the character’s body.”

“Avoidance correction is applied to all damage.”

“Your magical damage is doubled.”

「Strong bonus for penetrating and cutting actions.」

“The agility level is greatly increased… … .”

The effect of this mod is simple.

It moves faster and allows you to act as an evasive tang. If you were a dealer rather than a tank, your DPS would just go up.

Oh, of course, there are other important things.

“All attack ranges are tripled.”

This is the biggest feature of Eli Baba (wind) mode.

When you take out this mode, normal hits are changed to splash damage. In other words, even a blunt warrior like me can put a wide-area deal.

“Gee-eh-!”

Perhaps I felt an unusual momentum, the monsters around me started to race towards me.

But I kept my posture and waited.

There’s no need to swing it twice, right?

just once.

One time right is enough.

‘transcendence.’

Judging that I had gathered enough to gather properly, I immediately used [Transcendence].

and… … .

「The character has cast [Swipe].」

As a skilled swordsman drew his sword and wielded it, he swung the mace laterally with moderation.

Whee-!

At the same time as the sound of the ripping of the wind.

Whoops-!

The mace he was holding grew as long as a female baton and increased in size in proportion to it.

The effect of transcendental swing.

“The attack range is increased by 3 times.”

This is the reason why most of the characters in Dungeons and Stones can play nonsense towards the second half.

This is mostly multiplication.

aa

After, it sounds cool.

After finishing the [Swipe], I checked my surroundings with satisfaction.

‘Yes, this is it.’

There were no living monsters.

***

“Bjorn! How did you just do that! Teach me too!!”

“You can also ask Erwen to do it later.”

“If only Erwen is there, I can do it too!”

“Yeah, similarly.”

Impressed by my new linkage, I gave a rough answer to Ainar and checked the sea side.

With one cool shot, most of the mobs on the beach were cleaned up.

“Uncle, waves! The waves are coming in!”

After waiting for a while on the empty shore, the waves soared high like a tsunami.

“The first wrath of the sea has begun.”

The effect that occurs when the mid-boss of the first wave appears.

“Siren! This is the Siren Queen!”

Seeing the monsters moving on the waves as if surfing, Priestess Ersina exclaimed.

Like an explorer who had been active on the 6th floor for a long time, he seemed to know about this monster.

“Why are there monsters of rank 4 on this island… … .”

Why?

I came out because some of you turned on the event.

“Everyone, come back to me. Erwen, you are ready to fight.”

“yes.”

“I? Am I just watching again?”

“for now. Wait, I will call you if necessary.”

“i get it!”

After a brief glance at the formation once more, the Siren Queen finally arrived.

“Kyaah-!”

The guy who spit out a sound that doesn’t match his pretty face and stabs the trident in his hand.

Quang-!

As the name is a level 4 monster, even the normal hit was quite heavy.

Well, there must be another reason why he became a 4th grader.

「The Siren Queen has cast [Song of the Sea].」

“The character’s stats are reduced.”

An aura that reduces stats in proportion to exposure time.

「The Siren Queen has cast [Swirl].」

Also, whenever he hits a normal hit, he spits out a vortex that steals a certain amount of MP on hit.

and… … .

「The Siren Queen has cast [Proof of Loyalty].」

Whenever the cooldown is reached, it periodically summons a level 5 monster, the Siren.

And not just one or two, but ten each.

‘A typical debuff shaman type boss monster.’

After all, even thinking about cancer is not an easy monster.

If it wasn’t here where we met.

“Behel—raa!!”

The Siren Queen’s particularity lies in the quantity.

Normally, hundreds of sirens were guarding the surroundings.

However, when he arrived on this island, he was alone.

Of course, it has the property of self-replicating if left alone for a while… … .

‘Why did I leave everything here?’

I gave up looking for allies and came here to get rid of him before it evolves into a raid boss.

“Give me a weapon, I will help too! Level 4 monsters are not enough on your own!”

Nevarce had made such a suggestion because we were ignorant, but I just let it go.

And the same goes for Einar.

“What do you mean, Bjorn is a great warrior!”

“No, it’s not great, but that’s a monster that two or three people can catch—”

“Bjorn, can I clean this guy’s mouth?”

“If only one more seed.”

“i get it!”

“… … .”

Whether Ainar’s threats were the main reason, Nevarce kept his mouth shut. Thanks to that, I didn’t care about the back and just focused on the battle.

A priest who is synonymous with heel and blessing.

Spirit Archer.

Tank Barbarian.

In fact, it was almost as if they were fighting a battle with these three, but the boss battle proceeded with ease.

After all, the dealer has everything from tanks to healers, right?

「Lairin Ershina has cast [Sun Protection].」

“Debuffs of rank 5 or lower are removed, and additional stats are obtained.”

The ability reduction is canceled by the priest at regular intervals.

Whee-!

It’s a [vortex] that loses MP on hit. Just avoid using control.

‘It’s really convenient because the agility level goes up.’

There is no reason why the summoning pattern should be very difficult.

There were more than ten Erwens circling around me in the [Spiritized] state, and I was dealing with them before they could pile up.

“Behel—la ah ah ah!!”

Even because my threat level was so high, there was no accident that they ignored me and ran backwards.

therefore… … .

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!

All I have to do is beat the queen by possessing both a tank and a dealer, and it’s over.

“Kee-e-e-eek!”

That was when the battle had been fought for about 20 minutes.

「You killed the Siren Queen EXP +6.」

The Siren Queen, who had been hit with [Swipe] close to the top of her head, finally became a light and disappeared.

There wasn’t anything I was expecting in my heart.

‘If there was a summoner, I could have sold it at a very high price. Oh, there are no wizards anyway, is that that?’

I put down the mace, erasing regret.

And I moved to the place where the party was with Erwen who had [Spiritization] turned off.

“… … I’m sure the three of us can catch a level 4 monster.”

Priestess Ersina still had an expression on her face that did not make sense.

And this is the same with Nevarce.

“I must have said that I was a level 5 explorer… … .”

Nevarche, who had a shaky tail, looked at me and gave me a strange gaze.

“Yeah, I was hiding my skills… … .”

What do you mean, he again?

As soon as I heard it, I laughed, but I didn’t have to explain or explain it.

‘It’s funny. It’s just that the rating standards here are very loose.’

It is one of the things I desperately felt after the game became a reality. The explorer rank here is really just the bare minimum.

The guild only grades based on the average grade of the essence, and does not consider the synergy of those essences.

For example, this guy Nevarce is just that.

‘He was a 4th grader.’

This guy had a rank 4 explorer tile.

He’s from Noark, so this might not be a real identity card, but he must have done it himself to get the 4th rank.

But even so, it applied within 10 seconds to me.

Although there is a point that my training method is strong against person-to-person combat, especially long-distance series… … .

‘Everything aside, I’m just weak.’

In fact, most of the explorers here did.

Should I say that even with a high rating, it doesn’t perform as well as it should?

‘Looking back, the dragon slayer felt the same way.’

Because I had been exploring for a long time, my level was high and I ate a lot of Essence, but that’s all.

There is no root in integer combinations.

To be honest, by my standards, it’s enough to say that I’m a bastard.

‘This is exactly what these kids felt like after playing for a few days and swearing at them.’

It was in this game that the combination of low-level skills to create synergy was stronger than having 5 high-level skills.

[Giantization] It was also the basis of this game to select one same core skill and evolve it in various ways to cheat.

‘However, the strongest combination was about the corpse collector’s cubs.’

It was time to organize my thoughts.

“Hey, Yandel!!”

huh?

‘No, wait a minute, this voice… … .’

I hurriedly turned my head in the direction of the sound.

“Raven! Abman!!”

“Pasran-sama, you are safe!”

Four men and women appeared in the forest.

After all, is it only Misha left now?

***

“Yandel, Erwen, Einar. I am glad that everyone is safe.”

“Urak Burak! I’m glad you’re safe too!!”

It was a short time to run to the friendly faces and share the news of the reunion.

We quickly shared information with each other.

“What happened?”

“Oh, is it?”

What happened to Raven was simple.

Started with Uncle Bear, and soon met Patsran and his fellow wizard and moved to the center of the island together?

When they arrived, they seemed to have turned in this direction after seeing the ‘going east’ memo I had left in the center.

“But why did you arrive so late? I have been waiting there for over two hours.”

“I’m sorry. I’ve been wandering too much on my way there… … .”

The reason for the tardiness was really absurd.

There must have been four people, but no one could find the way.

‘Actually, the two wizards don’t seem to know how to do anything other than use a sword… … .’

Not to mention Mister Bear.

Yes, it is natural that this member cannot find his way.

“by the way… How about Missha?”

“Misha is still here.”

“yes? It’s still… … .”

“Don’t worry too much. Haven’t you met just now? You’ll be fine somewhere on the island.”

I tried to shake my worries away and shifted my gaze.

Just like this one, my colleague Ersina and Patsran, who had finished their voyage, were approaching me.

“I heard what happened to Ersina so far.”

“heard… … ?”

“Oh, no, I heard… … . Did you protect me all the time? Thank you.”

“In difficult times, we should help each other. Anyway, blonde… … . No, have you heard about the identity of that Drows?”

“Oh, if that’s the case… … did you hear It was unbelievable that Drows was from Noark. So, can I do a few checks myself?”

Soon, Patsran politely asked if I could talk to the Nevarche I had caught, and I gladly agreed.

“Write it well and return it.”

“Cancer, it’s bittersweet.”

Okay, so this part is done.

I approached Raven overhearing the conversation between Patsran and Nevarche.

And whispered quietly.

“Raven, the answer is ready, just listen.”

“… … ?”

“There is one among them who has an affair with the Noarks.”

He was the one who betrayed the team and informed Amelia that they were coming to this island today.

Did only Amelia know who he was?

“I don’t think you’re going to hit the back of the head in this situation, but be aware. If you find anything strange, let me know right away.”

When I finished my words, Raven nodded with a hard face.

Well, then the information sharing is over.

“There, wizard. What is your name?”

I went to the wizard, who was sitting on the floor resting because he was tired, and asked his name. I think if we talk, we might find something suspicious.

Uh, yes, it must have been… … .

“Ah, nice to meet you. Call me Aulok.”

As I watched the wizard stretch out his hands with a friendly smile, I was stunned.

Priestess Ersina, male swordsman Patsran,

And even a female archer I haven’t met yet.

None of the suspects have been able to figure out who the traitor is, but… … .

Some sort of certainty was soaring.

“Hans Aulock. Please feel free to call me Hans.”

I got it, you bastard.
