Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 103



Episode 103: Mafia (2)

Actually this was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Uncle Bear’s crossbow.

Is it possible to use that as a real weapon?

Surprisingly the answer was that it was possible.

Huuuuuung-!

Mr. Bear who loaded the crossbow with an arrow so skillfully that it overshadowed any doubts aimed and shot her precisely in the head.

but….

“Tsk it’s blocking too.”

The Yeti blocked the arrow with both hands and avoided immediate death.

Of course he only literally avoided immediate death.

Both hands skewered by a single arrow.

The Yeti screamed and exerted strength but the arrow did not come out.

I don’t think the arrow was anything special.

‘Could it be [Hook Arrow]?’

There is a suspected skill but I am not sure.

It’s not something to think about now.

[Kkiiiiik!!]

The gigantic form of a Yeti rushing towards you.

Since both hands were sealed it didn’t look particularly threatening.

But what is this?

“You take care of the rest.”

Mr. Bear hung her crossbow on his back again as if he had finished his work.

Even though it would be the end if one more arrow was fired it would be correct to see that it means that they do not want to work for free.

‘Is it because you’re an explorer? Calculation is really like a knife.’

I also ran out holding a shield to prevent any disagreement about future distribution.

“…What is that!”

I heard Carlson freak out.

Even if you were a barbarian it would have seemed impossible to stop such a monster from the front.

But that’s only when you’re a barbarian from scratch.

Build a wall with a shield to block the Yeti’s charge.

Kwaaang-!

There was a heavy impact but this was it.

After drinking the Orc Hero Essence there was almost no need to lose strength. Moreover even if it were a Yeti it would only be about 1m taller than me.

“The character takes cold damage from [Chill].”

My bones are sore but not painful.

“Michelle!”

“Oh yes!”

As I shouted Misha who had been riding for a moment stepped on my shoulder and leapt.

And now with the sword I’ve become so skillful at handling

Phew!

Both Yeti’s eyelids were stabbed from bottom to top at the same time.

Because it was not a dagger used in the past the sharp blade was enough to cut through the Yeti’s brain.

Kuung-!

Soon the Yeti fell to the ground making a loud noise and disappeared into light.

“The Yeti has been defeated. EXP +3」

Unfortunately the essence did not come out.

If it had come out I would have fed it to Misha right away.

‘First of all it’s a bad start.’

Now there were only five in total excluding the guardian who had essence that could be fed to Misha.

“huh? Why are you looking at me like that? “Did I do something wrong?”

…You’ll give me one right?

***

“You two have good chemistry?”

After a short appreciation of Mr. Bear we resumed our movement. We entered the ice cave moved in formation and killed countless level 9 monsters ‘Frost Wolves’.

Well this section is all about them.

“The frost wolf has been defeated. EXP +1」

Anyway Misha and I did a good job here.

Well Mr. Bear did kill the wolf by hitting it with a crossbow but…

It wasn’t comparable to Misha or me.

‘Are you the type that is good at one hit but doesn’t have wide area deals?’

As I was wandering through the cave analyzing Mr. Bear step by step the first chapter ended.

For reference it took just 6 hours to get here.

Well I had to wander around a lot.

‘…It doesn’t appear here either.’

In fact it was a chapter that I could have completed in an hour if I had set out in earnest. That’s because the terrain features were the same as the dungeons of the Bloody Citadel.

‘Left left right left go straight for 7 times in a row and left…’

Pillars that appear at regular intervals.

This made it easy to find your way around.

But I didn’t do it on purpose to float.

‘He who knows how to open cracks wouldn’t have been unable to memorize this easy pattern.’

I guess it’s one of two things.

Isn’t the mafia a player?

Or maybe he was just pretending not to know.

‘Well if you keep watching you’ll see a gap someday.’

Anyway this is the second chapter.

“It’s an eerie cave…”

Take the ice stairs that appear at the end of the cave and head further underground. During this process I watched the group’s actions closely.

There is a hidden piece here.

It’s nothing special but if you break the third pillar you’ll get an elixir. An item that increases cold resistance only once when taken.

‘I’m not taking this with me….’

Even though we passed the point and came down to the end of the stairs no one was behaving strangely.

‘Well even if I knew I wouldn’t do something so obvious. Later when everything is finished you can come alone and take care of it.’

I decided not to be hasty in underestimating my opponent.

Since ancient times the stronger the enemy is assumed the better.

Well at least I did.

“It looks like it’s come down a lot but it’s surprisingly bright.”

Carlson muttered behind me.

I had a similar feeling.

The ice walls emit white light as if the entire cave is made of transparent glass.

“There’s something pretty about it.”

“Yeah right? “I thought so too.”

“Oh but what is that?”

Jencia who was having a conversation about a difficult topic with Misha points to a place.

A huge cavity is encountered after coming down the stairs.

A slanted totem that was noticeable at a glance was shining its presence in the center.

“oh! “I touched it and it glowed.”

“It could be dangerous so step back.”

“Oh yes!”

Jencia was feeling restless wondering if she had done something wrong. Mr. Bear chuckled.

“Why are you surprised? “I think that’s the key anyway.”

“A key?”

“Well a few monsters will appear and then the road will open.”

This time Mr. Bear once again shows a gamer-like mindset.

Actually what he said is not wrong.

There are a few things that need to be corrected.

“The tyrant who has been sealed for a long time is awakened.”

In this chapter not only a few monsters appear but the final boss mob appears.

Of course they pour out the miscellaneous mobs first.

dddddddddd.

The entire space began to vibrate and pour out ice powder. And soon a howling that pierced the eardrums echoed everywhere.

[Gwaaaaaa-!!]

A roar that is no less intimidating than that of a class monarch.

“The ancient demonic beasts sensing the presence of a tyrant awaken from their long sleep.”

Clink!

Soon the ice wall surrounding all directions began to peel off layer by layer spewing out demonic beasts.

“Grrr….”

The demonic beasts slowly raised their bodies as if they had no strength because they had just been thawed.

“What should I do?”

“Huh I didn’t know it would be like this.”

It was Mr. Bear’s cool muttering but anyway I placed the order.

“Let’s go towards the stairs. “There is no wall there.”

“Yeah that would be a good idea.”

Mr. Bear also agreed with my opinion.

And the battle began.

In the first wave about twenty frost wolves appeared and from the second wave grade 8 monsters also appeared little by little.

[Kyaaaaagh-!]

Sabel Tiger and Worm Stone who have already finished receiving experience points in the Beast’s Den and Ice Golem which only appears here.

“For some reason I feel like my body isn’t moving well…!”

“Oh it wasn’t just me?”

Since he was spraying slowing auras that overlapped over time I smashed them with the mace that I could see.

“The ice golem has been defeated. EXP +2」

Since it was a crack that Misha and I were determined to clear in the first place it wasn’t too dangerous.

Well ‘Jensen’ literally had to risk his life.

Still there is something we can do to get it all sorted out before the next wave starts.

‘Once you start getting pushed back there’s no answer but on the other hand it’s a pretty good chapter.’

The ninth wave reached in about 30 minutes.

Here Yeti appeared once more.

Of course it was completely different from when we first met.

If he was just a gatekeeper back then should I say he is a mid-boss level this time?

[Koooooo-!!]

Yeti appeared along with low-level monsters.

That alone increases the difficulty several times and the one that appears this time is a ‘higher variant’.

To put it simply it means a name.

For reference Named has a higher intelligence individual name and unique history…

“Katoomba Lord of the Snowfield has cast [Suppression].”

It has the characteristic of using the abilities of other monsters.

“Wow! What what! “Why did my body just…”

The additional skill this Yeti has is [Suppression] of the stone golem.

This is exactly what I’ve experienced from predators in the past.

The law of destruction is simple.

“Wow! This time again…! Everyone be careful! “That guy over there is writing something strange… Wow!”

Like Carlson over there every time he stops he gets beaten up by the mob around him.

“Wow.”

Or as I told you in advance chew your tongue like Misha and continue bleeding.

Otherwise…

“The character’s magic power is above a certain level.”

“Completely resists this effect.”

I took care of the anti-magic stats.

[Suppression] is easy to destroy as it has a deceptive ability of temporary ‘no action’.

Well it’s probably a level 8 monster.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

After using [Wild Eruption] to increase the aggro value he ran forward.

‘Jensen’ is almost half dead anyway.

If we don’t kill him before the next wave the country will be in quite a bit of trouble.

“The character takes cold damage from [Chill].”

As I stood in the center Yeti… So his name was Katoomba?

Anyway with this bastard at the head all kinds of miscellaneous mobs began to cling to him.

But I only focused on Katoomba.

That’s right even though level 9 and 8 monsters keep asking it’s only an itch now…

“What if I do that again alone?”

Misha who was chewing her tongue and making her pronunciation worse immediately followed me and was clearing out the mobs around her.

She looks like she’s doing some kind of sword dance with her dual swords.

“Katoomba Lord of the Snowfield casted [Cold Eruption].”

Is it because I lost sight of it for a moment?

I was unable to avoid or block the snowstorm it spewed out.

My skin felt sore because I had no resistance to cold…

‘The rest is fine.’

Since it is a body that is played in real time it does not seem to have reached the [Frostbite] verdict. I even more aggressively engaged in close combat with the Yeti.

It was then.

“If you don’t want to die get out quickly.”

Mr. Bear chanted so that I could hear.

“Abman Urikfried casted [Strengthen].”

“The effect of active skills used thereafter increases in proportion to soul power.”

“Abman Urikfried casted [Hazardous Substance].”

For some reason my instincts spoke.

Let’s listen to that man’s warning.

Tadat.

It was the moment when I pushed off the ground and widened the distance behind me.

Huuuuung-!

An arrow was fired.

and….

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

As soon as it hit the Yeti’s head it exploded spitting out flames.

The radius is about 3m.

Compared to the wide-area magic Raven used it can’t be said to have a very wide range but…

“What kind of arrow is like that?!”

All monsters within the radius are dead.

Therefore I modified the information about Uncle Bear that I had been collecting little by little.

I thought it was a single extreme dealer….

「Bonus for killing high-ranking mutants. EXP +1」

Fuck you were there.

Wide area.

***

Mr. Bear’s wide range.

Actually I’m not sure if that’s a wide area but anyway.

Thanks to him demonstrating his full power the ninth wave ended easily.

And thanks to that….

“That’s Jeongsoo!”

I had time to settle the bill a little early.

It’s a magic stone so you can pick it up later but it’s not essence right?

“It’s good to see two coming out at once.”

Uncle Bear didn’t show much interest in Jeongsu.

Should I just share it on my own?

I also felt the same way.

At least halfway.

“You two take care of the red thing over there.”

I’m the essence of a guy who doesn’t know if he’s a frost wolf or a saber tiger. I don’t care.

but….

“Instead we will have this.”

A blue essence floating in the spot where Yeti last stood in his lifetime.

Carlson asked stuttering his words.

“Is that the essence of the Yeti?”

“So do you have any complaints?”

“Is that possible? no.”

As if to shake off his greed Carlson waved his hand excessively and stepped back.

It was a bit of a sad look but…

When you’re wronged you have to be strong right?

It’s a world where power is invincible and divine.

“Then there is no problem.”

Soon I called Misha.

But did he misunderstand something again?

“Congratulations Bjorn. “You will become stronger!”

“What are you saying? “This is yours.”

“Huh? “You’re giving this to me…?”

Misha who was congratulating her with a sincere expression suddenly freezes.

And she asks questions carefully.

“It’s not that I don’t like it but I really want it… I’m just asking this out of curiosity so I should listen without misunderstanding?”

“Try it.”

“…How much do I have to pay if I eat this?”

Why does he think I’m an evil boss or something?
