Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 190



Episode 190 Template (5)

No. 8667 Outlaw of the wilderness.

This is a number item worn by the dwarf team’s beast swordsman and as it is a low number it has no stats and is relatively inexpensive.

This is because the effect of use is a bit ambiguous.

Melee physical damage increases against humanoid ‘monsters’ and the increase rate increases according to the number?

Demand among explorers is bound to be low.

Even though he is a humanoid monster in the labyrinth there aren’t many of them and even he doesn’t flock around in groups like this.

‘Plus the cooldown is only one day.’

In fact it is difficult to use properly unless you are trying to attack a doppelganger or that guy on the 5th floor.

Thanks to obtaining this item his odds of winning jumped significantly.

If it weren’t for this would it have been about half and half?

「Seal release rate 70%」

At that time the magic circle radiated light once more indicating that it was not long until the seal was lifted.

Since the increase is 5% per 10 creatures according to the calculation it means that the number of clones summoned has already exceeded 60.

“Current increase rate of 401%.”

But there is still a long way to go.

Therefore we formed a close formation against the wall as planned.

and….

“Barhatun Wiar.”

A stone wall was summoned using Raven’s magic.

The decision to hold on until that moment comes.

However this did not mean that the wall was completely blocked but a gap was left on one side for two or three people to pass through.

It was Raven’s idea.

If it’s completely blocked they’ll try to break it but if there’s a way they’ll want to go that way?

‘It really works.’

I held on blocking the only path.

If I hit it with a mace in my current state my clone or whatever would be knocked down in one or two hits…

I tried hard to suppress my desire.

Because our goal is not to hunt for corpses.

Kwaang-!

The alter egos are rushing toward me pushing each other as if in protest.

Of course not everyone was like that.

“There’s a hole over there!!”

An alter ego that breaks through stone walls and clears a path.

When I turned my head to check for a moment it turned out to be an alter ego that resembled mine.

“Mr. Yandel focus on that! “We’ll take care of it here!”

Cheolwoong summoned by the melee line and Mr. Bear hurriedly formed a human barrier to block the clones but it was not an easy task.

Because we had a very big penalty.

“oh! “You can’t kill me!”

Block without attacking.

This condition is bound to be difficult to fulfill unless you are a professional tanker. From behind the sounds of a difficult battle could be heard again and again.

But there was nothing I could do.

If you go there just to help things will only go wrong.

Deddudeud-!

After about two minutes the cave shook again.

「Seal release rate 90%」

This means that the time to compete has finally arrived.

“Mr. Yandel!”

Since the ceiling was not high I jumped in place with very little force.

The so-called ‘low point’ in technical terms.

“The total weight of the character is more than 500 kg.”

“Special terrain effect [rebound] is applied additionally to the damage range.”

The clones including my colleagues all rose into the air at once. Therefore as soon as he landed he rushed quickly stepping on the clones.

“The threat level increases temporarily.”

Thanks to the increased threat level the clones hurriedly stood up and rushed at them like zombies and soon a tremendous sense of resistance was felt beyond the shield.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

Has it been about 10 seconds since then?

I pushed forward like a bulldozer and eventually reached my destination.

Pow! Pow!

A body in the process of [self-replication] continuously exploding.

Without looking any further I swung my mace.

Pow!

It tastes like you’ve hit tofu.

However it was enough to determine that damage had been caused.

“Kyeeeeeee!!”

The body that completed infinite [self-replication] and transformed into me.

As it was in berserk mode it looked a little different from before.

There are two heads sprouting from the shoulders.

‘I am Einar….’

Damn why honey?

A doppelganger that uses not only my skills but also Einar’s essence.

“The nameless usurper casted [Swing].”

“The nameless usurper casted [Repeated Slash].”

The amount of impact itself is different.

If it weren’t for the sign of the Guardian Corps I would have definitely fallen behind.

Even the clones summoned from all directions are strangling me and attacking me.

but….

Whoa!

I completely ignored it and swung the mace.

The two barbarians hanging on the main body’s neck smiled wryly.

A laugh with the meaning of wondering if that will happen.

I just looked at him and smiled.

“Current increase rate of 771%.”

Because you’re not the only one who got a buff.

It’s called extreme damage barbarian mode.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

When I cast [Swing] with all my might the doppelganger’s body which was blocked with a shield as usual stumbles.

The gap revealed as a result.

Without giving him time he swung the mace again.

Kwasik-!

Einar’s head was crushed with just one blow.

Since he had two heads this didn’t knock him down.

There was no problem.

One more hit would have been enough.

Kwasik-!

The doppelganger who lost both of his heads immediately reverted back to his slimy form.

And it hardened.

“The doppelganger casted [Crystallization].”

It is the final struggle made when the time comes to die.

Well it’s a very difficult pattern to say it’s a struggle.

“Magic damage is reduced by 99%.”

「Physical damage is reduced by 90%.」

Virtually immune to magic damage.

A swindling skill that takes 90% of physical damage.

However if you don’t destroy it in time you have to repeat this from the beginning.

It’s funny but that’s the original strategy.

Mass summon transformation crystallization.

The way to clear it is to repeat this sequence accumulating damage to the ‘crystal’ and destroying it.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

But we have to risk everything at once.

That’s why I didn’t even catch the body and left it alone.

“Raven!!”

When I shouted Raven and Parthean immediately used magic.

It wasn’t an attack spell.

The ‘Mana Shield’ that I used earlier when playing PK with the Dwarf team.

Raven shouted urgently.

“I can’t last much longer!”

I know it even if you don’t say it.

How many clones are around me right now?

As it is already a highly expensive spell the two wizards will run out of magical power before even a minute has passed.

Therefore…

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Trusting in the magical power that is thickly deposited on your skin you focus only on destroying the crystalline doppelganger.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was a tactic that would never have been used without the ‘Outlaws of the Wilderness’.

They probably organized the clones in advance and then dealt with them all together.

I was worried that there might not be enough deals.

Kazizik!

On the fourth [swing] my decision was flawed for the first time.

It was amazing again.

It’s a [crystallization] pattern that I’ve experienced several times but I can’t believe it’s already like this.

How much deal are there now?

You can’t tell from the numbers but it’s truly surprising.

There’s still something left that I haven’t written yet.

“The character casted [Leap].”

‘Low point’ once again.

“The threat level increases temporarily.”

and….

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

Immediately [wild eruption].

“Temporarily the character’s threat value increases by three times and the physical value increases in proportion to that value.”

A powerful force radiates from the whole body.

Of course this mulberry flavor lasts only for a short time.

But I judged.

That’s enough.

“The destructive power of blunt weapons increases significantly in proportion to strength.”

The miracle law of exchange where threat value changes into strength and strength changes into the destructive power of blunt weapons.

“Current increase rate of 771%.”

But is ‘Outlaw of the Wilderness’ added to this?

It’s 90% physical immunity so it’s almost like you don’t have to worry about anything.

Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

Because now my damage is copied.

***

「You defeated the doppelganger. EXP +6

「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」

***

How many times did I have to hit the decision with a mace like a person possessed by a ghost?

I’m not sure but ‘Mana Shield’ was over and injuries started accumulating on my body quickly.

Kwazizig-!

The crystal which had cracks like a broken mirror eventually shattered like a grenade exploding.

It would be a bit difficult to say that it was close.

‘About 1 minute…’

It broke much faster than expected.

In my mind I even had in mind the picture of putting everything aside gathering them all together and sticking a dill in them.

There was no need to use plan B as variables came up at the last minute.

‘Yes there have to be days like this.’

On the one hand I am happy but on the other hand I feel somewhat bitter.

No one would say that they were lucky because an unexpected incident didn’t happen.

‘No it’s still too early to feel safe.’

Enough with my idle thoughts I came to my senses.

Right after the boss battle started didn’t four HansGs appear against ridiculous odds?

There is also a possibility that it is a variant rift like the ‘Blood Citadel’—

Ssaaaaaa-!

At that time the fragments of the shattered body turned into a halo of light and scattered in the air. And this also applies to the corpses that filled the cave.

Huuuuung-!

Additionally a portal connected to the 4th floor was opened in the center.

This means that the crack has truly been cleared.

“Oh! What! Did you kill it?!”

“Ugh I thought I was going to die. “Can you give me some Aruru potion?”

“That’s later. It’s not a major injury right? Let’s check that first! integer? Number item? Crack stone? What came out—”

Oh yeah I should check that too.

I couldn’t even see it clearly because I was wary of my surroundings in case something else happened.

Now it’s time to take care of the guardian’s reward which is like the flower of the crack.

I swallowed my saliva and moved my gaze to where the doppelganger was.

“….”

“….”

Nothing existed there.

‘Could this be the Hans effect?’

A thought like that suddenly occurred to me but it’s not good to make excuses for Hans for anything. The drop rate for essence or number items is only 33%.

Well it’s a little heartbreaking that 66% of the crack stones didn’t come out…

‘…It’s a common occurrence.’

It was like this often in the original game.

I tried my best to break the crack but I got no reward.

“…Mr. Yandel come to your senses. “It could be so.”

“Yeah! “I haven’t already gotten a lot of this and that.”

As I remained still my colleagues seemed to notice and offered words of comfort.

It’s not like I’m angry or anything.

‘…In the end is the reward obtained through PK all there is?’

It was a little vain but when you think about it it was funny to feel regret.

I can’t even imagine how much it would cost if I sold all the equipment.

Breaking the all-time highest income is already a given and hasn’t the essence of the Manticore been consumed?

‘…Yes this alone is practically the equivalent of a doppelganger essence.’

Hmm but is this the effect of positive thinking?

I feel like I suddenly have strength.

“Misha are you okay with your injury?”

“uh? Ugh. It’s just a passing glance. “It barely touched me!”

“Take the potion first.”

Putting his regrets aside he took care of his comrades and began to clean up after the battle.

Raven laughed as she looked at me like that.

“If you look at things like this you definitely look like a leader.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“No were you serious this time?”

“….”

“Aruru don’t be like that. “Then Bjorn will be embarrassed.”

what.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go up again now.”

After the brief settlement was over I led the group back to the forest. All the doppelgängers at the top have already disappeared.

“You’re safe! “I’m so glad!!”

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. Miss Sarman.”

He picked up the Indian woman left at the altar and handed it over to the blunt warrior.

For reference the archer of the dwarven team that was offered to the altar was already dead.

“But what happened to this man…?”

“Uh… I was worried that you might wake up…”

It looks like they killed the guy who was unconscious before he woke up.

It was a little impressive.

One way or another this guy is also an explorer.

I checked the archer’s equipment and backpack just in case but it didn’t seem like the Indian woman had secretly taken anything with her.

Well then this is the end of the business between us.

“Oh you should take this. Well written.”

“You can keep that.”

“Really?”

Partheian gave Raven the ‘broken trust’ he had lent to him as a gift. Even though it used up all the times it was not a worthless gift.

It’s not like there isn’t a way to recharge the count.

Even if you just sell it it will cost hundreds of thousands of stones.

“Thank you for saving us. “If you need my strength please come to me at any time.”

On the other hand I wondered if Gongchisa’s words were everything.

Partheian gave me a visitor’s card with the emblem of the Narman School written on it.

Well I guess that wasn’t really an empty remark.

Keep it with you and get it right away when you need it.

‘Doing this makes me feel like I’ve completed some kind of sub-quest.’

Afterwards after briefly saying hello to the blunt weapon warrior Indian woman I saw them off in front of the portal.

“But aren’t you going out?”

“It’s a rift that took a long time to come isn’t it? “I’m going to look around a little more and do some research.”

“Hmm I see?”

Parthean nodded his head meaningfully as if he had a general understanding and Raven also smiled awkwardly.

“Then I guess I’ll go.”

Soon they took the portal and returned to their original location.

“They… are you going to be okay?”

“What are you so worried about?”

“Wizards usually worry about and take care of each other right?”

“That’s not what I meant I just meant that you were worrying for no reason. “It’s not anywhere else it’s on the 4th floor.”

Although Hans G and the Fairy Archer are dead the Tower in the Sky is a tier that can be preserved if desired.

Maybe the three of them will kill time like we used to and then go back to the city.

“Well… that’s true too.”

We left the portal behind and came up into the forest again.

There are still things left to take care of.
