Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 209



Episode 209: Leader (2)

It’s a coincidence.

It’s just that the laughter sounds similar.

The world is so big that there isn’t a single person with similar habits.

I didn’t even think about that.

As soon as I felt deja vu I accepted reality.

‘jester.’

He was one of the members of the Watchers of the Round Table and seemed to be the most knowledgeable and skilled among them.

That is the true identity of that man.

‘I guessed that he was from Noark but I never thought we’d meet like this…’

A face to face with the clown I was so curious about.

However there is no feeling of happiness at all.

No rather…

‘Fucked.’

What should I do?

Just by looking at it it looks really strong.

If I reveal that I am an investigator will they just let me go?

‘That can’t be possible.’

I threw away the weak thoughts that suddenly bloomed.

Not only is this the same as coming out that I am an evil spirit…

What the clown respects is the investigator.

Not this fucking barbarian.

The moment my identity is revealed the clown will lose interest in me and become angry.

So I cried out.

“Ready for battle!”

Break through head on.

If you can overcome your fear it could be the best solution at any time.

“Now you’re a little barbarian!”

He looks at me like that and looks happy.

But thanks to you did he come to his senses?

Raven immediately chanted.

“Derba Timunes.”

It’s team voice magic.

Since the opponent is a human and not a monster it seems like he thought of turning this on as soon as he heard the sound of battle preparations.

“Tsk that’s not fun.”

The clown who had no content to enjoy didn’t seem to like this.

I guess it’s not something I should care about.

“Everyone get behind me!”

They quickly issued orders and at the same time used ‘giantification’ to block the passage.

This is the advantage of the first floor crystal cave.

Although there are differences in each passage…

Crash.

Most are narrow.

Enough to block with just one giant barbarian.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

I call the name of my ancestors as if to shake off fear.

Then raise your shield just high enough so that it does not interfere with your vision and focus all your attention on its movements.

Exciting-!

The heart of a warrior began to beat at just the right speed.

The heated blood circulates quickly and energizes the body.

At least I feel like I won’t die a cold death.

“Mr. Yandel if you do this we won’t be able to attack either!”

The wizard’s concerns were firmly dismissed.

“Don’t do it.”

“yes?”

“He’s an unknown guy isn’t he? The first thing to do is find out what abilities he has. “Until then don’t take the first step.”

The most important thing in a interpersonal match is information.

How did you combine the 50000 abilities and items to develop your character into a class with a certain concept?

If you don’t know that it’s difficult to respond correctly.

“that…! It’s the monster that killed the knight. But Mr. Yandel are you going to find out on your own?”

Then what should I do?

“This is the most efficient.”

I am a tank.

So even if you are hit by an attack you don’t know about you can withstand it.

But not these ones.

The moment you are hit by an unprepared blow there is a much higher chance that the game will be over.

“It’s no fun because I don’t know what’s being said.”

Without any further discussion of the strategy the clown stretched out his hand to the side in a cold voice.

Before he knew it he had a weapon in his hand.

‘Mithril Zene.’

An awl that emits blue-silver light.

“Just die.”

As soon as a low voice rang out the clown’s appearance disappeared before my eyes.

The time I missed wasn’t long.

Well isn’t it a straight passage?

‘Where to play Siya.’

When the shield is slightly lowered the clown can be seen making movements from the obscured viewing angle. Having been trained through numerous battles I quickly identified the point of attack.

‘Thighs….’

In combat everything comes down to information.

The levels where you mindlessly swing a weapon are over long ago and each movement has a rationale and intention.

Then why did he aim for the thigh?

‘Is it the assassin family after all?’

By nature the guy would have thought it was annoying to pierce the shield. The first thing I upgraded with the money I saved after paying off my debt for 6 months was the shield.

‘If it had a head I would have known it as soon as I saw it.’

A large shield made from level 4 metal moonstone.

Even if it is an Arc-made sword it has enough durability to withstand it several times.

That means.

Kak!

It is impossible to penetrate with a level 5 mithril weapon.

Kakak!

Instead of just blocking with my shield I put strength into my arms.

“…!”

The body of the bastard being pushed out without much resistance.

I entered one more piece of information into my head.

Well actually this is natural but…

‘Strength is beneath me.’

I’m starting to think it’s worth a try.

Maybe it was 6 months ago.

I have grown in many areas starting with equipment.

From the looks of it it doesn’t seem like he’s a dragon slayer.

‘Well he hasn’t shown me everything yet.’

I didn’t let go of my tension and stared at the clown who had stepped back.

Although the first attack was blocked it is highly likely to be dangerous if allowed even once.

Didn’t he confidently say ‘die’?

It wasn’t a line to say while targeting the thighs.

‘Then is it also poison?’

There is a high possibility that the weapon is coated with poison.

This ability could also be related to poison.

However since nothing has been confirmed yet we made assumptions and opened up all possibilities.

‘I think it’s time to start writing.’

So far I’ve only done a simple exchange of moves with the hand-to-hand ability.

And since this is blocked it’s time to use the skill.

“Oh really! “I wanted to save as much MP as possible!”

For some reason I couldn’t help but laugh.

It’s a unique and exaggerated way of speaking whatever.

“…Mr. Yandel! “That person is an evil spirit!”

MP.

This crazy bastard has no intention of hiding that he’s a player.

‘Are all people from Noark like this?’

Well I’ve already had an affair with the royal family so there’s no reason to hide the fact that I’m an evil spirit…

“No wait a minute. “If it’s an evil spirit…”

Those words made my body flinch for no reason.

I thought I knew what Raven was thinking.

From Noark.

He was skilled enough to kill a knight alone.

The most infamous player in the city.

“Corpse collector…?”

That was the moment Raven muttered the name in a daze.

“Kyaaa.”

I quickly turned my head and checked behind me.

“Abed Necrapeto casted [Puppet].”

The corpses of the knights and soldiers lying in the back were rising and attacking Raven.

‘Nimiral was real.’

There was no point in further denial.

Because the character concept of the corpse collector is famous.

It was a good job that I also played a few times.

It is specialized in curses and summoning and places a significant emphasis on agility stats to prepare for vulnerable close combat….

‘Agility dog ​​neck.’

Agility poison necromancer.

It was the enemy’s job that I had to fight from now on.

***

I thought he was an assassin because he was aiming for a vital point with an awl-like weapon.

‘Necromancer….’

It was an obvious miscalculation.

He just saw me as easy and tried to attack me.

The real specialty was something else.

‘It wasn’t by chance that he was nearby but he came to visit us.’

Once you find out who you are the surroundings where you were just starting to look different.

Perhaps he left the body there on purpose.

The reason is simple.

If you pretend to be a corpse and leave it there you can use it like CCTV.

Now what does it matter?

‘There is no need for an exploration battle.’

I decided to focus on the positive.

Having gathered information on Orculis after the battle with the Dragon Slayer I also know quite a bit about the ‘Corpse Collector’.

‘There are a total of 6 known integers.’

Of course there will be three unidentified essences and considering this guy’s notoriety it will be nothing short of a disaster for us.

But at least the class has been confirmed.

“Everyone stop fighting and step back!”

I quickly placed my order.

In a normal battle with a summoner it is standard to kill the summoned object first but…

“Do you mean not to fight?”

“Increasing the distance is the priority!”

Each of Poison Nek’s summons is close to a suicide weapon.

This means that widening the distance is the basis of attack strategy.

“Aruru come here!”

“yes!”

It was the moment when Einar took care of Raven and prepared to step back.

Flash-!

Gray eye light burst through the cracks in the mask.

“Abed Nekrapetto cast [Curse of Stone].”

Nerve sensation becoming dull starting from the feet.

I knew immediately what skill it was.

The essence of the level 4 monster Medusa.

Tadat.

As if he was going to kill me first he lunged at me again with an awl in hand.

It was definitely a deceptive skill.

‘The reason there were no signs of battle around was probably because of this skill.’

Even for an Amman knight it would have been difficult to withstand a level 4 essence.

It’s normal for average knights to be level 5.

It is bound to be difficult to obtain anti-horsepower.

‘Well it’s not me.’

Manticore’s passive skill [Hereditary].

Over the past six months I have filled all 200 of this passive’s stats with anti-magic power. Normally the job stats go up as well but in the case of anti-magic power there is a workaround.

Anyway the result.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

My battle cry has evolved to replace the ‘Indomitable’ skill.

“The character’s anti-magic power is over 400.”

+20 at level 2 of Immortal Engraving.

+80 in Ogre Essence.

+200 with Manticore passive skill [Inheritance].

[Giantization] and [Wild Eruption] increase the magic power by about 40. If you add an additional 20% increase with the blessing of the Earth Dragon…

“The character is given a suppression immunity effect.”

Your anti-magic power temporarily exceeds 400 and you become immune to suppression skills!

“The condition abnormality [Curse of Stone] is lifted.”

As soon as the numbness starting from my feet disappeared I grabbed my shield and ran.

The other person also looked puzzled.

Well is it true that you said it was ridiculous?

“under! Suppression immunity? “How much did you invest in anti-horsepower!”

That’s high praise.

The reason I paid that much money to consume the essence of the Manticore in the first place was because of its anti-magic power.

When you erase it your abilities remain and so on.

Because with only +200 anti-horsepower you can get rid of it until the latter half of the game.

‘Anyway it’s really fast.’

I pushed forward like a tank but like the agile dog neck he easily widened the distance behind me.

These guys are tricky.

The main weakness of all summoners is their main body but it is very difficult for them to capture the main body.

Still I’m glad I’m not an assassin.

“Raven!! Freeze the body!”

“yes? yes!!”

“And Abman as soon as I give the signal throw a big blow! “So that we can have a chance to escape!”

“…Running away? “Is that possible?”

Well the odds are half and half.

But I have to try it.

They say that is much higher than the probability of winning in a fight.

“I guess I’ll have to pour everything into one shot. i get it!”

Fortunately Mr. Bear obediently followed the order.

As soon as I heard the name “corpse collector” I must have had a certain intuition.

The odds of winning in a fight are slim and even that will inevitably involve sacrifice.

‘After all you’re a corpse collector.’

He is one of the highest ranking members of Orculis.

Of course he beats the dragon slayer.

but….

‘There’s a chance now.’

Necromancers are not very good at chasing due to the nature of their job. In addition it shows that it is conscientious of resource consumption.

‘From now on we will have to fight until the labyrinth closes so we would like to reduce waste even a little.’

He was thinking that and he was quickly backstepping.

Ssaaaa-!

A chill came from behind.

It appears that cold magic was used to freeze the corpse.

“It’s frozen!”

Okay it was confirmed.

“Abman!”

“Oh just say something anytime!”

It looks like Mr. Bear is ready too.

After briefly reciting the surprise signal I asked Raven for one thing.

“Turn off Raven’s voice control magic.”

“yes?”

“hurry.”

“I turned it off.”

As soon as the team voice spell was deactivated I looked at the guy and said:

“hey.”

“Hoo?”

This guy is looking at me with something in his eyes.

I continued silently.

“Do you know two ways to make people angry?”

“well? “Is this your first time hearing this?”

This is why they are foreign guys.

I thought you didn’t know either.

“The first thing is to stop talking.”

“okay. What is the other one?

The clown nods his head as if he understands.

“that….”

I frowned and canceled [Giantization].

And that moment.

“Abman Urikfried casted [Strengthen].”

“Abman Urikfried took [dangerous substances]…”

An arrow containing all of Uncle Bear’s skills was fired across the widened passage.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

A cave that shakes as if there was an earthquake.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Looking at the other side which was blocked by flames that rose up in an instant I shouted more passionately than ever.

“What are you doing! “Hurry up and don’t stand out!”
