Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 110



Episode 110: Baby Barbarian (3)

[00:51]

The third day had almost begun.

We left the glacier cave and returned to the crystal cave.

There were a lot of troublesome things but the benefits of this rift were beyond imagination.

Gensia’s equipment.

Uncle Bear’s 5 million stones.

And even the essence of Yeti and Guardian.

I received an absurd amount of profit for it to be a reward for clearing the first floor crack.

With a party of 5 on the 4th floor the money earned in 2 months was less than 2 million stones.

‘Nimiral.’

I realize it again.

After all I have to go through shitty things to get this kind of luck.

Suddenly!

Soon Misha cut down a saber-faced wolf that was approaching us with his newly purchased sword and exclaimed in admiration.

“Oh!! What is this sword? “It’s really good!”

It seems like it was a one shot one kill anyway but I felt the difference from the taste.

“The details will need to be appraised to find out but there is a high possibility that it is a number item.”

“You’re the number one item? “Then isn’t this really expensive?”

When I was looking at Misha’s embarrassed expression I started laughing without realizing it.

Is it just ‘the fangs of a viper’?

The leather light armor that was given along was also an expensive item.

It was made of wyvern leather a level 2 material.

‘With these specs I won’t have to worry about reaching the 5th floor.’

I feel like I finished one homework.

Since the initial and mid-level settings have been completed this time it will serve one person well without additional upgrades for a while.

“So you’re going to the second floor now?”

“That’s right.”

I traveled all the way on the compass with Misha.

First of all the purpose of entering the labyrinth this time is over but it would be a waste to spend the remaining time playing around.

‘There are no explorers… but if we do well we might be able to get up to the third floor.’

Anyway Misha was in charge of killing the monsters he encountered while moving. The sword was changed by one piece and the stats were greatly increased so it was necessary to get used to the new sense.

“That Bjorn? “I think I’m done now.”

“Are you sure?”

“Uh… that’s not true. I’ll just keep catching it. But I’m really asking just in case… You’re not doing it because you’re annoying are you?”

“…are you doubting me?”

“Oh no! absoluteness! “There’s no way that’s possible!”

It’s Misha’s reasonable suspicion anyway.

I just moved around comfortably and helped Misha with his training. Although the sword is a new sword you also need to get used to the essence’s abilities.

When I saw it I felt happy.

‘I really didn’t know that the Guardian Essence would come out.’

As far as the Freeze Tree is concerned Lycanthrope Essence performed as well as Yeti.

[Lycanthrope] Grade 7

Agility +10 Cutting Power +12 Cold Sensitivity +15 Cold Resistance +10 Physical Resistance +7 Fighting Spirit +10

First of all the stats include cutting power which is the core of the swordsman series.

The passive skill is very deceptive.

(P) Blood of the Snowfield – Cold sensitivity increases by 1.5 times.

Cold sensitivity increases by 1.5 times.

Not only does it shine in the latter half of the game but it also has good synergy with Yeti’s [Cold Condensation].

The same goes for active skills.

(A) Ice Crushing – The damage given to enemies in the ‘frostbite’ state slightly increases significantly to enemies in the ‘frozen’ state.

First of all there is no need to explain the usefulness of this so I will pass.

(A) Indomitable – Removes the inability to act.

Although it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of soul power [Indomitable] is also a good skill that significantly increases the stability of dealers who are vulnerable to CC.

‘More than anything if you have this there’s no need to worry about your anti-magic stats so much.’

Originally I should have been able to choose just one of these skills but…

What Misha absorbed was none other than the Guardian’s essence.

Not only can both skills be used but the stats are also about 1.5 times higher than regular essence.

“If possible try to attack somewhere other than the vital spot.”

“Oh but he died in one hit….”

“Then why not just hit it with your fist?”

“Okay… huh? Still he dies in one hit?”

After using [Cold Condensation] I whetted my appetite as I saw the razor-sharp wolf frozen by a single punch.

Is it because it’s a level 9 monster?

It turned into light and disappeared before I could connect it with [Ice Crush] so I couldn’t train properly.

“I guess I’ll have to go up and do the rest.”

“…Do I have to go up and do it?”

Tsk how can I just eat it raw?

“I repeat—”

“embrace. “It’s not like the easy way is the slow way.”

Umm… right.

When I was speechless Misha smiled and took the lead. It seemed like she had a lot of fun just moving the tip of her tail.

‘…If I pretend to lose the argument when I do something wrong it will be resolved easily.’

Misha wrote down her usage number 13 in her head and ran after Misha her tension rising.

Time passed and it was about 7 hours since I emerged from the crack.

‘It seems like it’s time for the dark zone to come out—’

I stopped walking.

Huuuuung-!

The ground trembled slightly and the crystals embedded in the cave walls began to glow brightly.

The color of the radiance also changed.

From soft purple to intense red.

‘I expected it but it looks like they really summoned it.’

It meant that the hierarchical monarch had been summoned to the first floor.

***

“It’s no big deal just keep moving.”

“It’s no big deal? “I’ve never seen anything like that before—”

“Someone just summoned a hierarchical monarch. “There won’t be any repercussions so don’t worry—”

“What? Hierarchy monarchs?!!”

Oh my eardrums.

Did the hierarchical monarch we met on the third floor remain as a trauma? Misha clings to me almost like he’s causing a fight.

There’s no need to be that surprised.

“Misha calm down.”

Unlike the 3rd floor the 1st floor hierarchy is quiet.

First of all the summoning method has a chance of appearing if 5 or more people are gathered in one place after 3 days…

When summoned the portal does not close and the monsters that appear on that floor do not change.

Above all once Riakis is summoned he runs around the field and slaughters people until he dies but if the raid fails he just quietly disappears.

“So are we okay then?”

“Okay so don’t worry.”

When she calmly explained the situation Misha must have felt relieved and exhaled deeply to regain her composure.

But once the anxiety subsided did her curiosity bloom?

“But who on earth summoned him by mistake? “Everyone knows that there shouldn’t be more than five people around here.”

“Well maybe it wasn’t a mistake.”

“It wasn’t a mistake?”

I just shrugged my shoulders and remained silent.

Given the circumstances there is a high probability that it was summoned by someone who bought the strategy for the first-tier monarch in the community…

Isn’t it impossible to say it like that?

‘He’s quite an impatient guy. The preparation period must have only been about two weeks.’

Hmm… In other words he is not impatient but is he powerful enough to have all the preparations in place?

‘If I do well I might be able to find out who the user is.’

I continued my journey thinking that when I returned to the city later I would look for any rumors about a clan or party that had succeeded in hunting down the hierarchical lord.

It was a time when Rotmiller’s vacancy was felt again.

‘I never thought it would take almost a day.’

After wandering here and there following only the direction shown by the compass we arrived at the portal on the second floor.

For reference the one I chose was the Land of the Dead which is connected to the southern Ghoul District.

“You have entered the Land of the Dead on the second floor.”

Black earth filled with moisture and soggy.

Even on the second floor visibility is unusually narrow.

And the banshee’s scream sounds like a background sound.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”

For some reason as soon as I stepped on the ground I felt a sense of nostalgia.

I was running around with excitement crushing skeletons with Einar and beating Death Fiend but I almost fell when I met that psychopathic bastard…

‘Nimiral.’

Is it because it brings back memories of that time?

I suddenly feel cold.

“Ugh I feel bad every time I come here. “I prefer the ‘rocky desert’.”

“I guess there’s nothing we can do since we don’t have Rotmiller.”

Because it was central you could have gone anywhere but the reason why you chose the Land of the Dead is simple.

Of the two floors the easiest way is to go to the third floor.

You may have to wander a bit at the end but all you have to do is head north.

‘Besides since it’s just the two of us we should summon the Death Knight and catch him.’

I don’t really need essence but since it’s difficult to catch when there are five of us I decided to stock up on experience now.

Isn’t he someone you can only meet on the 6th floor unless you go through some cracks?

‘It’s a level 6 monster so we can test how strong it is.’

Of course I have to completely finish Misha’s training before summoning him.

“Let’s go quickly.”

Moving north we quickly left the area where grade 9 monsters such as Skeleton Gueul appeared.

Did it take about 5 hours?

The terrain suddenly changed from a wet swamp to a hard stone floor.

[Kooooooow—!!]

Before long Deathfiend appeared.

The so-called ‘newbie cutter’ pups are walking around in groups of four as if it was only day 3.

The other day Einar and I had a hard time catching just one fish.

‘Well now I’m in a body where I don’t want to die even if I want to get hit.’

Deathfiend is a mob that specializes in defense and regeneration.

Although it summons a ghoul there is no way it will deal damage to a level 9 player.

To put it simply Misha is the perfect opponent to test her new skills on.

“I will distract you so don’t worry and just focus on using your new abilities.”

“Okay.”

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

As soon as we cast [Wild Eruption] Deathfiend who had been staring at us from the edge of the torch let out a roar and rushed at us.

[Kooooooow—!!]

First two of them blocked the charge with their shields and one dodged to the side. And the last one…

Quang!

I just gave it a hug because it was annoying.

Perhaps because it was the first grade 8 monster I successfully hunted I felt a strange emotion.

In the past I was defeated by even just one animal.

[Huh?!]

When I put my strength into the shield and pushed back the Deathfiend bastards were pushed back helplessly.

“Is it still far?”

“It’s all over!”

Misha who soon finished ‘Reinforced Cold Condensation’ swung her poisonous snake’s fangs.

Kakak!

Although it was blocked by Deathfiend’s shield hand made of bone and muscle it was not a significant defense.

A shield hand frozen up to the elbow from a single hit.

“Misha Karlstein casted [Ice Crushing].”

When Misha swung her other knife at the part of her that was judged to be ‘frozen’ it shattered into pieces and scattered on the floor.

[Kku… Huh?]

A wound that cannot be regenerated even with [Body Preservation] because it is a cold attribute.

As if he didn’t feel any pain Desfiend only made a confused expression.

I seemed to instinctively sense that it was dangerous.

“Desfiend casted [Call of the Dead].”

When four ghouls used the summoning skill at the same time the number of ghouls crawling out of the ground reached a whopping forty.

Of course this also didn’t mean much.

The body that was once easily torn apart by those fingernails is now covered in a lithium breastplate…

[Grrrrr…?]

Physical resistance has increased and bare skin has become considerably stronger. To be honest if you just hit it it’s rare for blood to come out.

Even if they came out the hands of the ghouls who were rat poison in the acid melted away. But even then the wound was healing quickly…

“Bjorn… what kind of… monster are you?”

Looking at a person and seeing them as a monster?

She grunted and answered hiding her pride.

“Stop watching and get to work quickly.”

After all the settings are over you won’t treat me like a human right?

***

Afterwards he continued his training by moving north.

Thanks to this Missha also got a sense of how much it had to freeze to be judged as ‘frostbite’ or ‘freezing’.

She also encounters the Chimera Wolf who has the ability to incapacitate action and she has also perfectly learned how to use [Indomitable].

“Hmm well? “I just did it with the feeling that it would give me strength and that would work right?”

After learning how to use her she advised me to use it only when absolutely necessary as it drains a lot of her soul power.

When her soul power runs out she cannot use [Enhance] [Give Poison] [Crush Ice] or use anything else.

“Do you think I look like a child?”

…It’s not wrong.

That’s because he only had two skills until he reached level 4. She wouldn’t have run out of MP without having to adjust it.

‘…I could say this a hundred days ago. ‘You have to experience it yourself to feel it.’

That’s why she continued to pursue her hunt like a madman. And as a result of using her skills a lot each time saying it was okay she finally ran out of soul power.

“…I feel something very strange. “It’s not that my body is tired or anything but should I say that my body feels empty?”

“So didn’t I tell you to distribute it well?”

“…I thought this would be okay.”

Misha’s MP was running low and it was time to take a break so she started camping out.

She found a building with a wall in it built a bonfire and each of them went to sleep.

And how long has it been?

“Hahaha is that really true?”

“That’s right this is my friend.”

A commotion was heard from 2 to 30 meters away.

At first we thought it was just a passing explorer but as we continued to hear conversation it seemed like they didn’t know we were camping nearby and settled down.

‘Well anyway it’s time to wake Misha up. ‘There’s no need to tell her to go away.

It was a time when I quietly spent the remaining time with a somewhat generous heart.

“Anyway is this barbarian really sleeping without knowing anything about the world?”

“If you keep quiet you might wake up.”

“Let me sleep soundly. Isn’t that an expensive body? “You should get some rest now.”

I heard a sound that I couldn’t just pass by.

Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Now it was clear that the baby barbarian was sleeping among the hyena-like explorers.
