Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 350



Episode 350: Dark Continent (1)

The probability of [probabilistic retaliation] occurring is around 10%.

Please note that this does not increase even if you have [Transcendence]. The 1.5x increase in performance is because it applies to reflection damage…

Anyway that’s true.

“The character was hit by [Suragak].”

The passive activated at a time when I was seriously worried that I had been scammed and consumed some strange essence.

So it was a time when I received about 100 lashes.

“The luck that resides in the character blocks damage.”

[Probabilistic Retaliation] was activated and a transparent curtain appeared over the affected area as if to protect me.

and….

“Powerful luck.”

“Reflects 150% of the damage received back to the enemy.”

The skeleton summoned right next to me imitated the kicking stance and stabbed Amelia with [Sura-kak].

Even though he doesn’t have vocal cords he lets out a loud roar.

[Geuachaa-!!]

Oh this is the sound that was made when the judgment was a huge success?

If I do this for a moment won’t I get seriously hurt?

Those thoughts rushed forward but it was already too late.

Wow!

Amelia must have been taken aback by her sudden skill but was unable to dodge the blow and caught it with her shoulder.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

After hitting exactly one punch the skeleton immediately turned into a halo of light and disappeared.

“Ugh….”

“Are you okay?”

As I ran over in surprise Amelia took her hand off her shoulder and pushed me away.

“…don’t be too nervous. “I was just a little surprised.”

What’s surprising?

Her shoulder was sore.

“Bring me Erwen splints and bandages.”

“Oh yes…!”

Because of [the source of her immortality] giving Amelia her potion didn’t help so he adjusted the bone with her hands put a splint on her and bandaged her.

“Didn’t I tell you to avoid it when your special ability is used?”

“….”

“If you can’t avoid it at least hit it gently.”

“…It was a gentle beating.”

What do you mean by gently hitting me?

Even if it is a ‘great success’ decision it means 100% of the original damage.

‘Ah… I guess it’s 150% because of transcendence.’

For reference the original basic reflection damage is only 10%.

Even if you calculate it with [Transcendence] it is 15%.

Since the skeleton is summoned and attacks it can be evaded so the skill value is not that high.

“Anyway Amelia you can rest now.”

“yes! Now I just have to help you! I can avoid it well. You can also block it!”

“…Sure.”

Soon Erwen summoned her spirit again and Amelia went to the sofa and sat down as if she was somehow intimidated.

and….

“The character has suffered fire damage.”

“The character has suffered fire damage.”

“The character takes fire damage…”

「······.」

This time the skill was activated after 10 tries.

“The luck that resides in the character blocks damage.”

“General luck.”

「Reflects 15% of the damage received back to the enemy.」

A cute little skeleton is summoned next to me again and shoots out flames.

Because it was not a huge success it did not have a unique sound.

but.

Pow-!

As Erwen dodged the flames to the side the sparks that hit the wall flew everywhere.

and….

“Oh the fire.”

“Erwen! “Water spirit!!”

“Ah yesnet!!”

That day we almost lost the house we had mortgaged.

***

After experiencing a near-fire incident we went out to the yard at night and tested our skills.

And we obtained meaningful statistics.

‘First of all it seems like there isn’t much error in the probability…’

Unlike the first case where it was successful with as many as 100 tries the skill was used an average of 15 times thereafter.

The problem is that statistics are just statistics.

Even though it was working normally there were many cases where it suddenly stopped working and in those cases it took a long time to get it to work.

The highest record was 198 I guess?

‘Does this make sense…?’

Even if the probability is 1% it is not an easily understandable figure.

Even building up a stack like that did not result in a jackpot success judgment.

‘Well I feel like it floats a little better.’

Anyway after testing both passive and active skills the three of us spent time each day making exploration plans.

The number one goal of the plan was money.

That’s because I wanted a short-term loan of 6 months to meet my insufficient budget. The interest rates are high and if you don’t repay the money on time your house will be taken over to the bank.

But is that why?

“Uncle I’m fine… I don’t have to overdo it…”

From the time Erwen took out a mortgage on her house she seemed to have given up on the idea of ​​getting it back.

You probably thought it would be difficult to raise all the money in 6 months.

but….

“I told you didn’t I? “I will try to do as much as I can.”

I am also a person with a conscience.

Since Erwen likes this house it is right to try to protect it in any way possible.

“But if you want to raise that money in a short period of time… I guess there is no other option than war.”

“Lane Wales is right. Because none of us have boats. So that means you can’t even go to the 6th floor and in the end you have to stay on the 5th floor at most…”

“There’s nothing to look at like that. I think it would be better for me to participate in the war. “It may be noticeable but if I don’t use [giantification] no one will think of me when they see me now.”

Without much discussion we decided to participate in the war.

That’s because if you join the royal family you can travel to the 7th floor at once on a large sailboat.

‘If it’s at the level of the three of us the monsters on the 7th floor aren’t a big problem.’

All three of them are strong in person-to-person combat so they will be able to perform well in war and earn bounties.

No is the bounty the problem in the first place?

The enemies will all be mid-level or higher explorers so if you strip them of all their equipment and sell it the profits will be enormous.

yes….

‘If I do well it will be possible to catch the 7th floor monster and reach level 7.’

It is possible to fill the experience points that would have originally been achieved by conquering more than 60% of the 6th floor more easily.

and….

‘Once you reach level 7 you can eat the essence of the Underworld Island.’

After that you can look at the situation erase the essence of the gachabon and move on to conquering Belarios.

‘If I reach level 8 and get one more essence then I’ll have to delete Storm Gush as well. It’s easier to mine the essence you need at level 9 after you’ve toiled as a class lord.’

As I’m sorting out the future direction of my training I feel strange again.

I think the middle part is definitely over at this point.

Before you know it you’ve already come this far.

After a brief moment of reflection Amelia asked Erwen.

“But Tercia are you okay? “I believe it originally moved together with the fairy race’s executive branch.”

“Oh that’s true too. “Are you okay?”

“That’s okay. “I recently took a vacation.”

“vacation?”

“yes. I won’t be entering the labyrinth for a while and even if I do I’ll be moving separately. So you don’t have to worry about this problem.”

“…If that’s the case.”

From then on I listened to Erwen and Amelia talk about how the war had progressed so far and made a plan.

And time passes….

“I entered the crystal cave on the first floor.”

The day of entering the labyrinth dawned.

***

A crystal cave with a soft purple glow.

As soon as I opened my eyes Amelia took the lead and found my way.

“Then come this way.”

“Wait a minute if you’re looking for directions I need to—”

“Amelia is a guide.”

“…is that a girl?”

Erwen had received from her older sister the high level of education that a professional guide would receive but she no longer held back on her word as a guide.

Although she seems a little proud somewhere.

Honestly it was a feeling I couldn’t understand.

I also have a navigation function installed but I don’t feel sad about not being able to use this function.

‘It’s much easier to just follow along but why bother?’

Well it’s still a bit interesting.

It’s a team of three people and all three of them have the ability to find their way.

Is this the elite few?

Ta-da-da-da-da.

Anyway all I had to do was follow along so I continued to look around while running. The atmosphere of the labyrinth I entered for the first time after returning was very different from what I expected.

I expected to see explorers from knight clans with noble families’ seals tied to their chests here and there but…

“There are a lot more than the low-level explorers thought.”

Explorers who smell like newbies are also seen here and there.

In general their expressions are bright.

Because it is inside a labyrinth there is tension but no one is trembling or afraid.

“That? The royal family implemented many policies for low-class explorers. “I guess because a lot of high-ranking explorers died that day…”

After listening more closely I found out that there was a reason why there were more people on the first floor than when I was a newbie.

The royal family’s policy was also a policy but the major factor was that most of the large clans were disintegrated.

Should we say that once the water change was complete it turned into a land of opportunity where all you had to do was plant a flag?

A representative example was the 5th floor.

“No one is controlling it on the 5th floor…?”

“It may exist but it’s not as severe as it used to be.”

In the case of the Great Demon World it was common for clans to occupy and monopolize fields where monsters appear but it is said that this is rare these days.

In that case is it better to participate in the war?

This tendency seemed to have become more severe as the war money was generous and the royal family rewarded students with the desired amount when they advanced their majors.

“You’re a step late.”

We arrived very early but unfortunately the portal on the first floor had already been opened by another explorer.

So is the official time attack a failure this time too?

“You have entered the beast’s den on the second floor.”

While the time attack on the 1st floor also failed there was no way it would be the 2nd floor so after getting to the 2nd floor I took some time to move around.

I have a leisurely schedule anyway.

‘I said the deadline was on the 25th.’

The way the royal family recruits troops is very simple.

Arrive at Laimia the island of beginnings by the 25th day.

For a team that has just entered the 6th floor the period may be a bit tight but for the three of us who have free passes up to the 6th floor it’s a different story.

‘Because there is no wizard the speed doesn’t decrease.’

Previously I would have taken a break a long time ago but no one is telling me to stop.

And the result.

‘It’s already the 3rd floor…?’

I arrived at the 3rd floor by the end of day 1.

Even though it didn’t run as fast on the second floor as it did on the first floor.

“Man are you having a hard time? “Drink this.”

Surprisingly seeing that these two had the leisure to run like this it seemed like they could move faster if they wanted to.

Well these guys are civilians right?

“Didn’t I tell you not to call me uncle in the Erwen Labyrinth?”

“Oh right. I’ll be careful…”

Erwen who heard my attention smiled shyly and nodded her head and we slowly began preparing for camping.

There was no need to be on watch.

Anyway it was the entrance to the 3rd floor…

“I just need to set up my alter ego so sleep comfortably.”

Thanks to Amelia’s [self-replication] there is no need to waste a single person.

“Wow Amelia. After all it’s more convenient to have you around.”

“Don’t be too nervous. “It’s nothing.”

Wow that’s harsh.

Even if it’s a double body it’s true that you’re going through a hard time so I’m saying this as a thank you.

“yes that’s right. “It’s no big deal.”

“huh?”

“So I can do something similar…?”

After saying that Erwen immediately summoned his spirit.

I heard that unlike before summoning while sleeping isn’t particularly difficult? It is said that the consumption of spirit power is not a burden.

“And by using the dark spirit you can make it difficult for monsters and other people to see. how is it? Aren’t I much better? yes? “Isn’t that right?”

“Yeah… you’re better.”

I wanted to refrain from comparing colleagues but the strange pressure made me nod my head.

But was this the answer you wanted?

“Sure… please do it for me too.”

“…huh? “What?”

“That’s it. “What I said to that woman earlier…”

Soon Erwen twisted her body.

“I’m comfortable because I’m there… She’s also… I’m the best… I’m the only one…”

No I never said that.
