Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 356



Episode 356: Isolation (3)

The first stage effect of [Evolved Shell] is 50% resistance to swords.

Level 2 reduces penetration damage by half.

What happens if the effect increases by 1.5 times?

The answer is really simple.

Sword resistance 75%.

And 75% reduction in penetration damage.

For reference if this is combined with resistance to swords even in the basic state you are virtually immune to penetration damage from swords.

The only thing I regret is…

‘Even if it’s not just the limit you’ll be judged immune to the sword.’

The limit of sword resistance is about 85%.

Therefore even with the passive strengthening effect of [Transcendence] you will not receive immunity.

In that sense let me finally summarize.

‘Immune to stabbing.’

The slash attack will probably work but the ogre’s passive skill [Ironskin] is holding firm.

and….

‘If you have [Iron Leather] for your physical resistance now….’

Well it would be no exaggeration to say that this has become a nightmare for all knights.

But maybe I was worried because I didn’t know the inside story.

Tadat.

The moment the Blood Knight’s foot hits the ground someone shouts.

“Avoid…!”

It was Raven’s voice.

Wouldn’t it be quicker to show it in person rather than persuade it?

Sigh.

Just as he was thinking that he blocked the guy’s stabbing attack with his shield.

Kakak-!

Has it been a long time since a sound like this was heard from the tip of a sword?

“…!”

The guy expressed embarrassment as he looked at the Auror blocked by the shield.

“how…?”

How did you do it?

[Unity] obtained through the 6th level immortal imprint is based on the concept of becoming one with the weapon so it also applies to equipment when using [Giantization].

And this is also true for [Evolved Integument]…

‘Ah isn’t this what he’s curious about?’

He probably wouldn’t have questioned such details.

I guess I was just curious about this.

How did he fend off the aurors?

There are so many stories intertwined with it…

In this world of the fittest it can be explained in just one sentence.

“I.”

He said pushing away his sword with his shield.

“Because I’m stronger than you.”

What else is there to say other than this?

In this world where only winners and losers exist.

Huh!

I swung the hammer with all my might to engrave that fact into his mind.

Tadat.

As expected the guy quickly backed away.

He had nothing to regret.

There’s nothing easier than catching a runaway guy.

“The character casted [Eye of the Storm].”

“The abilities inherent in the skill are unlocked by the power of the Transcendence.”

Linkage of [Transcendence] and [Eye of the Storm].

Hehehe!

A gust of wind blew out of nowhere grabbed the guy’s hair as he was walking away and brought him to where I was. Or more accurately it led me to the point where my hammer was swung.

But unfortunately.

Sigh-!

Just before the hammer hits its body turns blurry like fog and quickly moves in the air to avoid it.

‘So you’re not the only Auror right?’

While I was fixing my hammer with that thought in mind Raven couldn’t let go of her old habit and hurriedly shouted.

“…Entering the blood world! “It’s a level 4 ability that temporarily accelerates your body and allows you to move in the air!”

I am grateful but I knew that as soon as I saw it.

Besides you said it too briefly.

It is not just acceleration but an increase in agility.

and….

‘I left out the fact that the strength level decreases and the fact that physical damage does not apply due to being judged as a spirit body.’

I whetted my appetite as I watched the blood-red mist moving like a fly in the air.

I guess I got a demon crusher too. I thought I might get a taste of it this time.

‘As long as I have that it would be easier to leave the handling to other kids.’

It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t handle it myself but I have no intention of being stubborn.

Isn’t the basic skill of a tanker to be a team player?

“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Element Synthesis].”

fire water wind earth.

And even the darkness that became Erwen’s main attribute after signing a contract with the Spirit King.

An arrow with five attributes combined into one flies and pursues the blood-red fog.

but….

‘As expected Aurors are fraudulent.’

The arrows were all shattered by the sword he swung.

But was the arrow just a threat to him?

Pishuuuuut!

The one who was busy running away turns and flies towards Erwen. It looks like we need to deal with the long-distance attacker Erwen first…

Will that work?

The tank watching looks sad.

“Erwen behind me.”

The moment it flew in Erwen hid behind me.

This is why tanks are important in the labyrinth.

Because it becomes a wall where dealers can safely hide themselves anytime anywhere.

Huh!

Even though Erwen disappeared behind me he did not give up and swung his sword.

It wasn’t a pointless retry.

I guess he thought it was the shield that blocked the auror earlier but this time it wasn’t the shield but the seams of the armor I was wearing.

In other words I targeted the joints where his skin was exposed.

Oh of course the results were not much different.

Seo Eok-!

Cut not stab.

Thanks to this I couldn’t be completely immune but [Ironskin] was activated and my skin ended up getting slightly cut.

To put it simply he withstood the aura with his bare body.

“…!”

The man’s eyes opened wide at that rare sight.

I’m surprised once again.

Did you not believe me when I said earlier that I was stronger than you?

“Sheter Ebeon!”

Raven’s curse magic hit the guy who stopped for a moment to attack me.

There was no need to worry about what kind of magic it was because it was something I had experienced countless times during my exploration.

[Materialization].

A grade 8 curse spell that forcibly removes physical immunity when hit by a spirit monster.

Yes this is team play.

When I lived in Noark there were a lot of frustrating things because there were no wizards.

Whoa!

As soon as his body which had been as blurry as fog became clear I hit the hammer.

However perhaps due to low agility I missed this time too.

I’m confident that if I hit him once he won’t be able to get up again.

“I will help.”

Soon Amelia also joined the battle.

For your information even during this time she was in full charge of dealing with the corpses that were coming from all directions with the body of someone who had been summoned earlier….

“…Who are you?”

He looked at us and asked.

He seemed to be curious about this one thing since he couldn’t easily fight back against a harsh attack.

Of course there was no obligation to answer.

“As for people like you—”

“Wow!”

Instead of shouting the name of the ancestor god which he could no longer call he shouted with all his might and swung the hammer repeatedly and the guy swallowed his doubts and focused only on dodging.

and….

“….”

As the battle continued the guy fought back using various skills but was quickly put on the defensive.

It was a planned result.

That’s because [Dungeon & Stone] is not only a team game but even if you look at it individually the current members are not lacking.

First of all if you look at Erwen it is the same.

“Erwen back!”

Every time I was targeted by that guy I hid behind him but that doesn’t mean I’m weaker than him.

You can widen the distance using your natural agility and various utility abilities using spirits.

Even if we had a one-on-one match at least we wouldn’t have lost.

And this is the same for Amelia.

“Amelia Rainwales casted [Power of the Abyss].”

The blood knight’s aura can be blocked with the same aura and the physical specifications are not inferior.

Well Raven’s situation is a little different but…

“Archen Hail Toon…. Aaaah!”

This is out of topic.

Since I’m a wizard it doesn’t really make sense to have a one-on-one fight with a knight.

“Even if you’re scared stay close behind me. “It seems like he’s determined to target only you.”

“Oh I understand.”

Erwen and Amelia were strong enough to take care of themselves so they continued the fight focusing on protecting Raven.

How long has it been like that?

‘…But why doesn’t he stand out even though he’s gotten to this point?’

I felt a little out of place.

He must know that if he continues like this he will inevitably lose so why not run away?

‘Am I waiting for my MP to run out?’

If that’s the case it wasn’t bad.

When activating [Iron Fortress] MP is drained every second but that’s why I didn’t turn on [Giantization] on purpose.

It would be quicker to win the game than to run out of MP.

“What about multi-teleportation magic?”

There was something ominous about it so I checked our last insurance policy.

“If I do it again from now on it will take about 5 more minutes.”

“If I do it again…?”

“Actually… I stopped chanting earlier…”

It was so overwhelming that I thought it wouldn’t be necessary.

“Get ready from now on. “Because I don’t know how things will turn out.”

“…all right.”

That was the moment when I placed the order again.

“Shuitz is magic…!”

Suddenly Amelia shouted urgently.

And at the same time.

“Liranne Vivien casted level 3 black magic [Falling Star].”

A huge black sphere fell from the sky and struck through the fog.

‘Nimiral.’

Yes you were waiting for a colleague.

***

As soon as the magic was activated and I realized that I couldn’t avoid it my body stiffened.

That’s because I haven’t achieved the settings for magic yet.

The auror setting was roughly completed but in return the anti-magic power was much reduced than before.

But in the meantime.

‘I guess he was too late to notice.’

Even Raven who was chanting multiple teleportation magic seems to have difficulty blocking it.

but….

‘What should I do? ‘I have to try it with my body.’

In what seemed like a split second I finished my judgment.

That magic is coming towards me.

And Erwen and Amelia are at a certain distance from me.

However if I avoid it Raven right behind me will never be safe.

Therefore there is only one option to choose from.

“…Tsk!”

He hugs Raven’s small body and lies down on the floor as if covering her.

and….

‘Giantization.’

As soon as you grow your body by using [Transcendence].

[Oh man…!]

“Shuitz!!”

The magic came down and hit my back.

Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It started with a shock that felt like my spine would be broken.

Next the sound of my internal organs shaking spread through my bones and muscles and a tingling sensation bloomed in my blood as if an electric current had passed through it.

Is it because the corpse golem disappeared?

What hurts so much?

“uh….”

As I unconsciously frowned at the unbearable pain I heard a sound from below.

“How… to [Giantization]…?”

Is everything wrong now?

I knew this would happen so I saved [Giantization].

Unlike [Swing] which has almost no effect this one becomes noticeable as soon as you use it.

“You can’t believe it….”

There’s no time for that right now.

“Let’s talk about it later.”

As soon as the shock down my back subsided I quickly stood up.

Wow.

Something fell behind my back.

It was a completely shattered piece of armor.

also….

‘Oh I’m dizzy.’

My vision was blurry.

It was not fog but smoke.

That too comes from my body.

Cheeeeeeeeeee.

Wow how long has it been since my whole body was cut to pieces like this?

Even when I raise my back up I scream that my joints are not working properly.

Tsk it just keeps getting worse.

‘It’s been quite a while since I’ve been in a superficial mode.’

Trying to think lightly I stood up completely and put down Raven in my arms.

And sent it behind me.

But did I truly see myself only then?

“You… de de de back…!”

What about your back? You don’t have to tell me until the end.

As I was thinking about that Amelia came next to me and checked her condition on my behalf.

“I think it’s better not to listen to Sangtae.”

“…Is it that much?”

“Yeah it’s a wonder how you’re still standing.”

Ah uh um….

If that’s the case.

“…Okay just pour the potion.”

“If it’s a potion… it’s already poured.”

huh? I didn’t feel that way at all?

Oh is my back completely numb?

‘Oh now that I think about it it seems like I haven’t been in pain since before…’

Thinking that this was at least a positive thing I looked ahead.

The first thing we saw was a blood knight standing at a distance from us in the distance.

He was beaten 4:1 and was in a state of disgrace.

If you listen to it it seems like he’s in much better condition than me.

Anyway this isn’t what’s important.

“Grandpa why are you pushing yourself so hard? “I was so surprised when I heard the news from Necrapeto!”

A woman wearing a robe standing next to a blood knight.

She seems to be a wizard since she is holding a wand…

So did he use the magic just now?

“ah! hello! I don’t know how she survived that! nice to meet you!”

The woman must have sensed my gaze and looked at me waving her hand brightly.

Erwen trembled at this.

“Erwen I’m fine so don’t fall for her provocation.”

Even after saying that she was worried so she grabbed Erwen’s wrist and led him to my side. Only then did she ask Amelia.

“Okay Emily who is that girl?”

“Lyranne Vivian the Screaming Witch.”

Oh yeah it’s him.

This is my first time seeing it in person.

“Then what about the man next to him?”

When she moved her gaze to the side of the woman and asked Amelia gave another immediate answer.

“The name of the lighthouse keeper is unknown.”

Hey this kid is also famous.

You said you were one of the few support magicians in Orculis right?

“And next to that….”

“It’s okay I know who he is.”

She shifted her gaze interrupting Amelia.

As soon as her eyes met I could see his eyes widening through the gap.

“ruler! Do you think the numbers are correct now? Mr. Fake?”

Abed Necrapetto Corpse Collector.

Ugh what is this guy? There’s nowhere he doesn’t wear it.
