Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 325
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 325: Role (5)
Riakis Lord of Chaos.
Berzak Lord of the Abyss.
In this way the monarchs of each class have both a true name and a second name and most of their essences are called after their second name.
The essence of chaos or the essence of the abyss.
It’s roughly like this.
And this was my review of the essence of silence that Lüchenprague had.
‘A bright apricot.’
As the essence of a hierarchical monarch he had a strong personality and ability but there were many problems with the concept.
First of all if you look at the active skill [Unspoken Spirit] it is the same.
A wide-area silencer that when activated nullifies all skills within a 30M radius based on the caster.
For reference this includes passive skills and even if you use the skill outside the radius it disappears the moment you enter the area so long-distance interception is impossible…
However this does not mean that it is invincible.
There is always a reason for not eating.
‘Magic or divine power cannot be dispelled.’
And the penalty doesn’t end there.
[Unspoken Spirit] does not work on monsters.
To put it simply the essence of silence is nothing but an essence that exists only for interpersonal battles…
Passive skills are even more impressive.
(P) Tranquil Control — All but this Essence’s skills are disabled and the stats gained from the Essence are doubled.
An extremely high-risk skill that gives up all the essential skills you have acquired so far in exchange for doubling your stats.
Thanks to this I hardly ever drank this essence.
That’s because my goal was always to clear the game.
The reason I ate this 300 times in the first place was because I wanted to try a different route.
[I have heard of your reputation as an explorer. How about turning the world upside down with us?]
A route that occasionally opens when you gain fame in the game.

When I was trying to break the rebellion route by collaborating with the Ormi Revolutionary Group I always took the Essence of Serenity first.
There is definitely no essence like this in interpersonal combat.
Well in the end I never succeeded.
After encountering countless dead endings I came to a tentative conclusion. Because it is a problem with the game structure itself it is impossible to beat the treason route.
Oh of course I never ate it after that.
At that moment I realized that the essence of silence had a fatal weakness.
Wow-
I held the item I had prepared in advance in my hand.
It is the key to the attack on the traitorous Luchenprague.
Actually I wanted to write this earlier but…
At that time I decided that taking care of Amelia was the priority so I saved it.
‘If I had known that D-Day would be told differently I would have told her in advance and given her this.’
The reason we didn’t necessarily share the information was because we thought they would naturally move together.
How could he have predicted that?
No wonder they mixed the alcohol with a paralyzing drug and made him pass out.
I never thought it would be more stylish to take it out in a crisis situation.
…really.
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The depth of the water is accelerating and is now starting to decrease by the second.
‘Now that he’s around the waist he must have regained his sight.’
I stared at the passageway where Amelia had left.
She remembered the conversation they had before leaving and burst into laughter.
[I believe it.]
[Yes believe it. Your sister’s problem is—]
[I wasn’t referring to her older sister.]
[…uh?]
[I said you not my sister will die. It meant that he would believe that. So… don’t die.]
[Uh uh… I got it….]
Hearing these words to my face made me feel a bit embarrassed and avoided my gaze and perhaps Amelia did the same leaving behind only the words “Then I’ll go first.”
‘You’re here.’
The sound of rushing water was heard from afar.
Therefore I also erased distracting thoughts and focused on the sound.
Clap clap clap clap.
The distance is getting closer quickly.
I tensed my body and crouched my upper body.
and….
JI profit.

The object held tightly in one hand.
I tore the scroll.
Ssaaaaaa-
Magical particles that emit light and settle into the skin.
The light emitted by the magic particles was weak but in the dark sewer even that was enough to attract attention.
Clap.
The sound that was getting closer stopped.
Excited.
My heart was pounding like a child caught planning something bad.
“….”
The silence continued for a while.
Apart from the sound of running water there was no other sound.
Just for about 3 seconds.
Clap!
As soon as I heard the sound of running I bent down and dived into the water.
And the moment he appeared at the crossroads.
“…!”
He suddenly stood up and rushed at me.
Kwaaang-!
As the auror and the hammer came into contact water flew in all directions due to wind pressure.
Perhaps thanks to concentration that has been pushed to its limit all visual information is clearly transmitted to the mind.
Water droplets broken into thousands of particles.
The guy’s expression seen through them.
He checked my appearance and moved his gaze to the side.
‘Are you looking for where Amelia is?’
I feel sorry for the barbarian.
Tadat.
As soon as my feet touch the ground I jump up again and close the distance with the guy.
The guy was already swinging his sword sideways.
It seems like they were planning to keep me in check so I couldn’t get any closer… Thanks to that I ended up in the middle of the sword’s trajectory.
It was a good part for me.
Tadat.
I dashed without stopping.
If things continued like this it was clear that the sword would touch my body before the hammer which was pushed behind my shoulder in the first hand exchange even touched his body but…
So what?
I didn’t even mean to hit it with a hammer in the first place.
Sigh.
Reach forward.
In battles with Auror users the shield which is useless was left in the hand because it had already been placed in subspace.
However doesn’t that mean that a swordsman only knows how to use a sword?
The guy didn’t retrieve the sword.
He just moves to swat my hand away with his free hand.
Tuk!
Soon his hand bumped into my wrist.
Since he was a man who could not be pushed by his strength his arm was pushed away.
In the meantime the sword was being swung to cut my waist and my feet were floating in the air so it was impossible to step back.
Clearly looking at this his judgment was not bad.
I was just a little complacent.
“…!”
The conditions of the pre-torn scroll were met as flesh touched flesh.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Blue-colored magic particles erupting.
If it were a game this message would probably have appeared.
[The character has been ‘bonded’ with Ricardo Lüchenprague.]
[The character is not affected by [Unspoken Spirit].]
I immediately recited the command I had prepared.
‘transcendence.’
and.
‘jump.’
Tadat.
The moment I stepped on the air.
Paaaaaaat-!
Splashing the water the body accelerates in a straight line.
Rather than fleeing outside the sword’s orbit fly further inward.
If possible….
‘Giantization.’
With all the body weight thrown in.
Like an 8-ton truck with the accelerator fully depressed.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
There was nothing more to see.
“Whoops…!”
The effect of the body slam was amazing.
***
Amelia who was running quickly through the half-submerged sewer flinched without realizing it.
She was because of the vibrations transmitted through the waves.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A loud roar could be faintly heard even from a long distance away.
It looks like a battle has begun over there too…
Clap clap clap clap-
Amelia quickly came to her senses and started moving her feet again.
It made me wonder if the sewer system had collapsed.
What kind of situation did this sound occur in?
Could it be that there is something wrong somewhere?
Several questions came to mind simultaneously but she shook her head with difficulty.
Because she said she would believe.
In a way that could be said to be a promise.
If Yandel had won against Lüchenprague why was he able to appear before our sisters at the end?
She even shook such contradictions out of her head.
and….
Clap.
She continued her stride.
It was a complicated sewer like a maze but it wasn’t very difficult to get to the desired location.
She has been recognized for her many achievements and has risen to a significant position within Noark so she has already passed this path several times.
Of course she memorized everything for today.
‘Left here. And then go straight until you come to a three-way intersection.’
Amelia continued to run pushing her physical body to its limits demonstrating a performance that was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
How long has it been since then?
Tuk.
Amelia stopped in her tracks.
Thanks to this she arrived at her destination before she knew it.
A crossroads with five passages.
Bodies soaked in water were seen floating everywhere.
It was a face everyone remembered.
Amelia recalled her memories.
[Laura! Amelia! What are you doing! If you wake up hurry up and fight!]
He lost consciousness after being swept away by the water and when he woke up the battle was still going on.
At that time Amelia tried to take out her weapon and fight as ordered but her older sister stopped her and pointed to her.
The only explorer from Melta who knew the way was running away alone taking some of the corpses’ equipment with them.
Therefore the two did not participate in the battle and just followed the path where the guide disappeared.
and….
‘here.’
Amelia recalled the passage in her memory and she hurried inside and soon she found what she was looking for.
“Hey I’m just trying to avoid it for a while…”
The guide makes an excuse with a somewhat frightened expression.
“It’s okay because you’re fine.”
Durbon a man who glares at the guide and then quickly turns his head away.
“How dare you betray me and run away?”
Soon her man slapped her sister’s cheek with his palm.
And her older sister didn’t even dare to think of stopping her so she endured it. She decided that it would not be a good idea to incur more anger here.
Because Durbon was not alone.
Ironically he was on the side of those who were fighting with their weapons pointed.
‘They must have thought that there was no point in fighting further since the numbers had decreased enough. The disappearance of the guide may have also played a role.’
Indeed one could say that it is like an animal.
Even after doing this they might betray each other at the last minute and try to steal equipment.
Well I don’t have a chance to confirm if that’s really the case.
Wow.
Soon Amelia held her dagger with her only arm.
“It’s all my fault.”
“I know it’s wrong.”
“Younger brother just followed me… Ugh!”
“Okay don’t worry. “I’ll send you along this time too!”
The moment her man grabbed her sister’s neck and raised her arm to strike her with his axe.
Suddenly!
Her man’s arm fell into the water holding her axe.
The pain of her amputation caused the man to scream and twist her body while those around her were shocked when they recognized Amelia.
“Emily?!”
“How did you end up here…”
She wasn’t worth talking to.
One by one Amelia plunged the dagger into their throats with her emotionless eyes.
“Hey wait a minute! “I know the way…!”
The same was true for the guide who tried to express necessity.
Since she knew the road that led to the city anyway there was no reason to spare her.
Suddenly!
Neatly organized interior.
Sister Lane Wales trembled and stood guard.
But was there one thing you were curious about?
“Over there…”
“Amelia…!”
Her younger self asked ignoring her older sister’s words.
“What happened to Pe Felik Barker?”
“He died.”
“Are you sure? But how on earth…”
“This is the end of the question.”
Amelia cut off her conversation.
“I don’t have time for this so hurry and follow me.”
The end of a long story was approaching.
