    Episode 108: Baby Barbarian (1)

    Just as Carlson was sent to the rear and some preparations were completed.

    Kwaaang-!

    The ice wall broke apart in front and a monster appeared.

    Tyrant Tarunvas.

    The guardian of ‘Glacier Cave’ based on the 7th grade monster Lycanthrope.

    [Gwaaaaaa-!!]

    This guy has several characteristics.

    It is 1.5 times larger than a regular lycanthrope.

    The basic skill composition is the same but the stats are about twice as high.

    Above all even that ice club in his hand.

    “Tyrant Tarunvas casts [Ice Crush].”

    As soon as he appeared he hit the floor with his club.

    [Ice crushing].

    Originally this skill was all about providing damage compensation to enemies in ‘frostbite’ and ‘freeze’ states.

    However things are a little different within the ‘Glacier Cave’.

    Kwaaang-!

    Vibration spreading through the ground.

    Although the floor did not collapse like in the second chapter a layer of ice wall peeled off and fifteen frost wolves awakened.

    “Bjorn! “This guy is different from the average lycanthrope!”

    That’s Bjorn.

    The mafia is dead so there’s no need to correct it.

    “Behel—laaaaa!”

    After using [Wild Eruption] to turn off its aggro.

    I blocked the flying club with my shield.

    Quang!

    A heavy shock and a chill that spreads down to the bones.

    Thick frost formed on the outside of the shield that caught the club.

    It is not a unique ability of the lycanthrope but is all an effect of that ice club.

    [Grrrrr!!]

    [Kkkkkkkkk!]

    In the meantime the frostwolves came to their senses and rushed at me and started scratching and biting me here and there.

    Even taking into account [hypothermia] the damage to a level 9 monster was minimal.

    Well it might be different once the second pattern starts.

    I’m planning on finishing it in the first pattern so you don’t need to worry about it.

    “Now!”

    While giving instructions to Misha I also took out the item I had prepared from my belt pocket and chewed it.

    “The character has taken ‘Thunderweed’.”

    「Damage of lightning attribute increases slightly for 10 seconds.」

    Cheondungcho.

    A doping-type consumable that increases all lightning attribute damage for a very short period of time.

    Before the holding time was over he tore the lightning scroll he was already holding in his hand with his mouth and activated the effect.

    Jijijik-!

    The lightning fired at the nearest enemy chains to nearby enemies.

    Because it was a cheap low-level Lightning Scroll it was difficult to kill even a frost wolf in one hit but…

    “Tyrant Tarunvas has fallen into a state of [paralysis].”

    That alone made him freeze.

    That’s because this guy’s resistance to lightning is negative.

    For reference this feature does not apply to regular lycanthropes and only this one was particularly weak against the lightning attribute.

    It’s a bit questionable why cold and beast-type monsters have a weakness to electricity.

    “Tyrant Tarunvas has cast [Indomitable].”

    Soon he used the second skill [Indomitable] to remove the ‘unable to act’ state but…

    Nothing much changes.

    Because it’s not immunity it’s just a release.

    Just do it again and that’s it.

    Pow-!

    Soon the rock thrown by Misha burst and exploded.

    The in-game name is Storm Explosion.

    What I usually call lightning bullets.

    “Tyrant Tarunvas has fallen into [faint] state.”

    The seven lightning bolts thrown without hesitation exploded one after another and Tarunvas completely rolled his eyes.

    And in this case [Indomitable] is also useless.

    Because ‘fainting’ is not a state of inability to act such as petrification paralysis or freezing it is judged as a mental condition.

    Kuung-!

    The guy who appeared as the final boss was incapacitated and fell to the floor in just 3 seconds.

    What happened next was really simple.

    All I had to do was run up and hit him on the head like I did the other day when I beat up Death Fiend.

    Wow! Phew! Pow! Kakak Kwajik-!

    As I was doing apnea-dealing with Misha with a weapon enchanted with the lightning attribute it wasn’t long before the guy’s body was broken into small pieces and scattered in the form of particles.

    “The tyrant Tarunvas has been defeated. EXP +3」

    「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」

    The time taken to this point was about 10 seconds.

    The effect of ‘Thunder Candle’ ended just before he died so he shouldn’t have made much of an error.

    I calmed my pounding heart and checked the spot where he died.

    “What…”

    Carlson who was watching from afar was letting out a deep sigh.

    Missha wasn’t much different.

    Unlike the Bloody Fortress there were no crack stones or number items but…

    “Bjorn… Is this the right one?’

    The essence came out.

    ***

    “Oh you want me to eat this too…?”

    I don’t know what’s causing this reaction.

    From the beginning when the distribution fee was decided with Uncle Bear the guardian’s essence was decided to be Misha’s share.

    “No but… I thought you were just saying that. “Because it wasn’t just the two of us who came in.”

    Ah you thought I would take it from you later.

    …What kind of image am I to this guy?

    “Okay just eat it quickly before it disappears.”

    “Kya!”

    I was too lazy to talk for a long time so I tapped Misha on the back and pushed him forward.

    And while Misha adjusts to her new essence.

    She approached the motionless Mr. Bear who was lying on the cold floor.

    I didn’t even feel a little sorry.

    Even though I was preparing for the worst I had no idea he would really go this far—

    ‘…what.’

    As I lowered my posture I froze in shock.

    “Uh uh….”

    Surprisingly Mr. Bear was still alive.

    Not only was her life preserved but her consciousness also seemed to remain intact.

    As soon as I approached him he desperately tried to say something even with his stiff body.

    ‘It’s been enough for 4 minutes…?’

    When I found out that Zencia’s sword was the ‘Viper’s Fang’ I thought she would have been dead a long time ago.

    And I was convinced after listening to the conversation outside.

    [Carlson! I’ll take care of this so you check on that person first! There must be a potion in the bag!]

    [This week is already dead!]

    While I was interviewing Jencia I heard such a conversation outside. So I first killed the orcs and then defeated the final boss before coming here.

    ‘…How on earth did you survive?’

    While traveling with Mr. Bear I roughly verified the four essences he possessed.

    Two of them were essences with poison resistance.

    However even if it were not poisonous if the stomach was left pierced like that and left for this long it would be natural for it to die.

    “Four potions….”

    Mr. Bear spoke clearly while looking at me.

    But was that small whisper heard?

    “Huh? I was alive! Thank goodness! Wait and see. “I’ll make you comfortable right away…”

    Misha who was feeling the lingering effects of receiving her essence came to me in surprise. Then she rummaged through Mr. Bear’s bag and took out her potion.

    It was a high-level potion.

    “I’ll use the best of what I have so don’t say anything later?”

    “It’s okay… I’ll take care of the swelling….”

    “Okay!”

    Misha opened the cap of her potion and poured it into Mr. Bear’s wound.

    but….

    Cheeeeeeeek!

    Only bubbles were boiling from the blood that filled the wound and the wound was not healing at all.

    For reference [Give Toxicity] did not have this effect.

    ‘…I guess they put something on the knife.’

    I have a guess.

    I don’t know exactly but it must have been a ‘wound aggravating’ type of poison that prevented healing and regeneration.

    “Huh? Why is this like this….”

    “Keep going… don’t stop…”

    “Are you telling me not to stop? “Oh okay!”

    In response to Mr. Bear’s request Misha continued to pour in her superior potion.

    However she must have realized something when her condition did not improve even after pouring in a second bottle.

    “Antidote… Yellow Awl….”

    “Oh this! “Is this the one with the fangs drawn on the yellow bottle?”

    “right….”

    Mr. Bear had Misha take her antidote.

    As expected from a solo player he seems to have stockpiled a lot of emergency medicine.

    but….

    ‘I don’t know about [imparting toxins] but that won’t solve the aggravating poison.’

    As I expected I did not see much effect even after drinking the antidote.

    A wound can be healed at the speed of an ant crawling.

    Meanwhile dark red blood was flowing out.

    Cheeeeeeeek…!

    Two bottles three bottles four bottles.

    Even though the number of empty potions increased Mr. Bear’s condition gradually worsened.

    It was inevitable as she could not stop the bleeding.

    “….”

    Mr. Bear was unable to even give an order as his consciousness had become clouded due to the large amount of blood escaping. He couldn’t even feel the pain from the potion.

    “Abman? “Come to your senses!”

    Misha tapped her cheek and shook her shoulder but Mr. Bear could not come to his senses.

    “What should I do? Ah the highest quality potion! Bjorn let’s use that!”

    Misha started looking at me as if she was finally remembering the top-quality potion I bought.

    Without hesitation I took out the highest quality potion.

    “Get out of the way.”

    “Oh yes!”

    A bottle worth over 1 million stones.

    Well this won’t heal the wound immediately but it will be enough to stop the bleeding.

    Cheeeeeeeek-!

    As the highest quality potion that healed even amputated limbs was poured the injuries that had been slightly healed began to heal more significantly.

    The bleeding stopped and breathing stabilized.

    Of course it was still in a dangerous state so I continued to pour advanced potions on it.

    Cheeeeeeeek-!

    One bottle two bottles three bottles….

    By the way it wasn’t mine it was all potions from Uncle Bear’s bag.

    I carry ten high-level potions but I don’t know why I don’t carry the highest-level potions.

    I don’t think it was because I didn’t have money.

    “I think we can stop now.”

    By the time I emptied five additional bottles of advanced potions the wound was more than two-thirds healed.

    Therefore I also stopped treatment.

    Since this is not going to be life-threatening it seems reasonable to continue treatment after the worsening effect of the wound has subsided.

    “….”

    Mr. Bear who was screaming in pain as if his nerve cells had revived in the middle was in a state of fainting.

    I slowly stood up.

    “Thank you for your hard work.”

    When our eyes met Carlson said those words to me.

    What a hardship.

    “Now that I think about it it hasn’t been distributed yet.”

    The crack seemed to have ended and the magic stones were distributed.

    “Oh the calculation seems strange….”

    First I divided the acquired magic stones into grades and gave Carlson his share and he cautiously expressed a question.

    This guy is also a weird guy.

    He didn’t give me a little he gave me a lot but I can’t believe he reacted like this.

    “Just take it and go. “You couldn’t even drink purified water.”

    Carlson’s share was originally only 5%.

    Well with Gencia dying it increased to 10% but…

    I paid 20% of the magic stones.

    It was a hush money fee.

    “If you really have a heavy heart don’t go out and talk about what happened today.”

    “Oh yeah! All right!”

    I don’t know if they’ll really keep that promise but it’s better than not doing anything.

    “But… why did Miss Jencia do that?”

    “Is there more to looting than money? From the looks of it this isn’t the first time either.”

    “okay….”

    Carlson who soon received the settlement left the crack through the portal after asking that question. After going through so much it looks like he doesn’t want to stay here any longer.

    It was a time when I was laughing while looking at that scene.

    “This is….”

    Mr. Bear came to his senses.
