Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 427



Episode 427: Like ice (2)

Eli Baba (black) extreme damage mode.

In short blackening mode is the most extreme among the various modes that can be activated with [Spiritualization].

All resistance values ​​are 0.

Moreover since you take damage from divine power you cannot receive healing.

But instead.

Immune to all types of conditions including bleeding poisoning stun paralysis and binding.

It has this ridiculous effect.

Still the random penalty remains as it is judged as a system effect rather than a status ailment…

It’s not that important these days.

Because the core of this blackening mode is something else.

“All types of attacks receive an unavoidable hit correction.”

A blow that cannot be avoided.

A unique option that is only available in blackening mode throughout [Dungeon & Stone].

Of course as is the motto of this game that loves equivalent exchange there is more to it than just the glass body.

“All resource consumption increases 20 times.”

「The cooldown time of all skills increases by 5 times.」

Two lines of phrase that can instantly turn a normal explorer into an asshole.

However this does not apply to me currently.

Isn’t he already half an asshole because of the random penalty anyway?

If you have to pay attention it’s probably this part.

「The character receives a recoil in proportion to the holding time.」

Recoil must be reduced as much as possible.

So to put it simply at this moment time is more precious than gold.

‘Well then let’s do it quickly.’

As I take a step forward Six quickly widens the gap like a fly.

Tadat.

It seems like they are wary of my changed appearance.

Are you saying you want to do it first before exploring?

In that case I am grateful.

Whoa!

I swing the hammer narrowing the increased distance.

That’s because if you swing it in the air it won’t be considered an attack.

Even if the result of meaninglessly cutting through the air is the same we have confirmed through previous experiments that only when there is a clear goal can’t evade be corrected.

fault.

As she had done throughout this battle the woman avoided the hammer with minimal movement.

“You will receive compensation for unavoidable strikes.”

At the same time the correction effect was activated.

Cheeeeeeeek-!

A space torn diagonally following the trajectory of a hammer.

“······!”

A strange look appears in the woman’s eyes when she sees this.

Even if you don’t know what this phenomenon is your concentration has been raised to the limit so that you can deal with it at any time….

———!

The swinging hammer plunges into the darkness of the gaping gap and the sound of the weapon’s impact stops.

Degurrr.

The woman’s pupils widen and roll as if searching for traces of a missing weapon.

Even so it’s no use.

“…!!”

The hammer appears after a mere split second transcends space and strikes Six’s body.

The physical force that was first wielded was preserved intact.

Poop—!

A dull noise soon followed.

Unfortunately the taste wasn’t that good.

Well it was the abdomen that got stuck…

‘Why is this woman so hard again?’

At first I thought it was just an agility type but it seems like a lot of stats were invested in defense as well.

Well if you look at the expression on his face when he gets hit it doesn’t seem like the damage was done…

‘Tsk. If only she had been able to use [She Swings] she would have been able to properly kill someone….’

It is disappointing that the damage increase effect of the Demon Crusher only activates when blunt weapon skills are used.

but….

‘If one time doesn’t work one more time.’

It won’t be too late to regret it after everything has failed.

Huh!

I throw away my regrets and swing the hammer again.

Tadat.

Six widened the distance further than before.

It seems like the blow I struck earlier was a warning…

Because this is not destroyed in that way.

Wow!

A blow that transcended distance without fail.

‘It finally hit the nail on the head.’

This time quite a bit of touch was delivered but surprisingly Six didn’t even let out a small moan.

All her body did was stumble slightly once.

Sigh.

Soon Six slowly lifted his bowed neck and glared at me.

and…

“Sigh.”

He mechanically spit out the blood that was in his mouth and opened his mouth in a grave voice.

“I remembered.”

…huh?

“Level 5 monster Flora’s ability [Spirit Transformation]. “It was the effect when the dark spirit was added to it.”

uh….

‘Is this guy also memorizing the effects of essences?’

Maybe so.

First of all they are agents trained with great care by the kingdom right?

“It was my first time seeing it in person so I was a little late in understanding it but…”

When the words reached that point.

I immediately kicked off the ground and dashed forward.

“It will be different from now on.”

Unlike before Six did not back down.

No rather…

Tadat-!

He rushed towards me recklessly.

I was able to do it intuitively through that action.

That what I just said was not a lie.

and….

‘Ha I’ve only gotten two hits so far.’

From now on the road to hell begins.

***

Huh!

The hammer is struck according to the movements of the rushing Six.

Six didn’t even avoid it.

He made a cool-headed decision based on the information he had.

‘If you don’t dodge you can decide where to hit.’

The first thing that reached me was the hammer.

Wow!

However the moment the hammer hit Six’s shoulder.

Phew!

The aura-coated dagger slices through my forearm like tofu.

‘That’s why I was saving the Dark Baba mode…’

It is as if one blow was exchanged but it is clear which side suffers more damage.

As you can tell just by looking at those brave eyes.

“You’re more agile than I thought. “It was aimed at the neck.”

Damn it.

If I had cursed it would have been considered a high compliment and the corners of my mouth would have turned up.

Are you more agile than you think?

This is nothing short of the ultimate insult.

Throbbing.

Thanks to the fact that my pain tolerance has changed to 0 I can feel the sharp pain even in my forearm where I was stabbed.

I decided to look at it as positively as possible.

I was hit by an auror with 0 cancer resistance but this is good. If the penetration area had not been on the forearm or the skin the injury would have been much more serious.

Okay so…

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

Even the numb pain is used as fuel to exhale energy.

“Tough guy.”

This match will end sooner than expected.

‘One more time.’

Strike the hammer again.

It was the same composition as before.

Six did not dodge this time either and extended his dagger.

and….

Wow!

Suddenly.

Each blow is exchanged with the other.

“….”

Six was the shoulder that had been hit earlier.

‘Nimiral.’

In my case it was the hand holding the shield.

I tried using the shield to pass the turn but the aura-filled dagger was not enough to pierce the shield and pierced my palm.

Crash.

The shield that fell to the floor weakly seemed to have cut off the strap that held it to his wrist.

Oh not only the shield but also the little and ring fingers.

but….

‘One more time.’

Either way I swing the hammer again.

However this time the composition changed a little.

Six who attacked without dodging brought the two daggers he held in both hands side by side and blocked the hammer’s path.

but….

Cheeeeeeeek-!

The hammer corrected itself right before it collided with the dagger and was sucked into the darkness.

And soon.

Wow!

Ignoring space he struck Six’s ankle.

Even though it was obvious that his bones had suffered a significant impact due to the small amount of fat Six looked unaffected.

“…So you’re saying it can’t be done this way?”

Haha it looks like I’ve become a monster that is being targeted.

‘One more time.’

swing a hammer

Wow!

Hit one.

Phew.

One more knife mark appears on the body.

Once twice three times four times….

How many more attacks were exchanged like that?

Finally I recognized Six.

‘This woman… is much stronger than I thought.’

Needless to say his natural skills are outstanding.

He can use Aura and his sword skills are as sharp as Orculis’ leader.

Puheook-.

This woman wasn’t even the ignorant type.

After only a few hand exchanges the knowledge about blackening mode began to be put to use.

Fuuk-.

Judgment is also the same.

“I can’t use this shoulder anymore.”

As if to prove this Six throws the dagger he was holding in his left hand on the ground without hesitation.

Anyway she decided she couldn’t use it anymore.

After her Ellie fight started this woman took most of my attacks with her left forearm shoulder.

She has a cool-headed mind that will concentrate the damage in one place.

‘I got hit over ten times so I only got one arm….’

Of course compared to mine where her body is covered in cuts and holes here and there she is no better than a noble person…

Still she doesn’t regret bringing out the blackening mode.

That’s right….

She said ‘If I had left it like that I would have been in big trouble.’

All she has to do is hold out against a woman like this?

That too while I’m running out of stamina and this woman is maintaining her condition?

It’s clear that things have gotten out of hand for her.

She was still a benefit to the gay woman who was holding me but if the reason for that disappeared at any time this woman’s blade would be pointed at her colleagues.

Wow.

Therefore I changed my mindset.

Her original goal was to defeat this woman as quickly as possible and support her colleagues even if it meant taking damage to her…

‘At least… I have to deal with him here somehow.’

Okay now that the goal is simplified it becomes clearer.

Let’s think about the rest later.

Like a barbarian warrior.

Wow!

Let’s focus more on this moment.

One day when that woman reveals even a little bit of her weakness.

So that she can run out and bite like a wild dog.

Phew.

The skin of her forearms wrists thighs etc.

The stab which she had been hitting while avoiding vital areas penetrates deep into her lower abdomen.

“…!”

I think this is dangerous.

Ji profit.

He forcibly held her stumbling body with his lower body strength and quickly gathered his thoughts.

She was like ‘How much longer can she hold on?’

No exactly how many seconds are left?

I’m not sure but I don’t think it will be that long.

but….

‘Not yet.’

Reduce your impatience as much as possible.

Just wait a little longer and it will come.

The moment to take the long-awaited game.

Wow!

Fuuk-.

The battle continues without a break.

No in fact it was funny to even call it a workshop.

A series of moments where each party ignores defense and just attacks and attacks to kill the other.

“The paladin who died earlier.”

The woman who was busy chopping up my body without saying a word suddenly opened her mouth.

But what did she want to say?

“Was he a very close friend?”

I don’t know why she’s curious about that.

but······.

Huuuuung-!

I responded by swinging my weapon once more.

“no.”

The time we had known each other was too short to be close.

But one thing is certain.

“Then I don’t understand. “Why are you doing this?”

“Because I wasn’t the one to die in a place like this.”

I don’t know much about him.

What I have seen is only one of the many aspects of him that were revealed in the labyrinth.

That’s why it’s even more disappointing.

What did it feel like to explore with Jun?

I don’t think it would have been bad.

Even though he usually gets along well when his habits from his time as a Heretic Questioner came up he must have looked somewhat fed up.

Although the unconditional support may be burdensome at times it may have been more helpful than anyone else.

Whoa!

At a drinking party?

Are you a good drinker? There are some kids like that whose personality changes when they drink alcohol.

What type of guy was he?

Huh!

I don’t know.

These guys took that opportunity away.

No it’s not just Jun it’s the same for other crew members.

Phew!

It wasn’t a life that would be wasted like this.

therefore······.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

Force a motionless arm to move.

To not let these guys take more from me.

Wow-!

Maintain balance by forcibly applying strength to the torn thigh muscles.

Whi profit.

As if it was determined to defeat me the fierce aura flew toward my stomach ignoring air resistance.

But at the same time.

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

The moment I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.

Tuk.

A dagger stopping in the air as if it were about to hit a transparent curtain.

‘Yes it has finally exploded.’

Gachabon’s special ability is [Probabilistic Retaliation].

Passive skills work regardless of whether the active skill is sealed or not.

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

The skeleton created on the left side swings a dagger at Six.

It’s not an ordinary dagger either.

A dagger with a blazing aura of the same color as Six’s aura.

Tadat.

In response Six who was attacking with full force quickly adjusted his stance and retreated.

It was a scene I had seen several times before.

Even before turning on the blackening mode [Probabilistic Retaliation] continued to fire and that woman Six evaded the counterattack with unlucky agility.

but….

Sigh.

This is the first positive sign in a long time.

‘I guess you didn’t know that much about the blackening mode?’

If that were the case I wouldn’t have made such a split-second decision.

The blackening mode’s inability to evade bonus clearly applies to the passive as well.

Just like this.

Chewy profit.

As soon as the summoned skeleton’s dagger splits the air.

A crack appears in the air and engulfs the dagger.

And soon.

Phew!

It transcends space and pierces Six’s body.

“Ugh.”

Indeed for the first time in a long time a groan came from that steel-like woman.

but….

‘Nimiral.’

I wasn’t satisfied.

‘Does it stick in her thigh?’

If it had hit somewhere like the neck or the heart the game would have been over immediately.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t regret it but I gave up my regrets.

‘It’s not like I didn’t expect it to be like this in the first place.’

Starting with Hans A whom we met in the Crystal Cave we have encountered numerous enemies.

and….

‘Yes rather this is my last.’

What led me to victory every time was Plan B.

So in that sense.

Just as I prepared.

Tadat.

It’s time to take a gamble.

Fuuuuut-!

He dashes forward and spits out the blood from his mouth onto Six’s face.

There is no more [acidic fluid] from the corpse golem.

Still it may block the view.

Whoa!

Sprinkling blood and swinging the hammer happened almost simultaneously.

A strike that penetrates the viewing angle exquisitely.

However Six held out his shoulder as if he could see the trace.

It was the same shoulder that had already been harpooned and was shaking.

He just pulls the mulberry out with one of his arms.

Wow!

A hammer hits your shoulder.

Whick!

Meanwhile the woman held out her dagger forward.

I didn’t avoid it.

Phew!

A dagger digging deep into the lower abdomen.

Sigh.

Ignoring the pain he stretches his arms forward as if waiting.

The arm that was normally worn with a shield but the arm that had been hanging limply and not being used since being hit earlier.

Six’s eyes hardened.

“…!”

Oh yeah you didn’t expect this either.

It’s worth noting that I didn’t use it until now.

Tuk.

As soon as his fingertips touched Six’s neck.

Wow-.

I grabbed his neck hard using my index finger thumb and middle finger.

Kwasik-!

He was not very disturbed by this situation and quickly planted his forehead on the table.

and….

Kwaang-!

Instead of holding Six’s body as it fell due to inertia it was piled on top of it as if it were crushing it.

Phew!

His side felt like it was on fire.

It was a little absurd.

Did you stab yourself while you were falling down?

Huh!

In the mounted position strike the hammer briefly held.

Then something amazing happened.

‘Huh… I’m really crazy.’

Even when his upper body was restrained he avoided the hammer by moving only his neck using his reflexes…

Although it was surprising it was not a very meaningful action.

Just because it’s close range doesn’t mean there’s no correction for avoidance.

Kwasik-!

The hammer struck at his head penetrates the air and crushes Six’s feet.

Phew!

In return another stab wound was added to his side.

For a moment he felt dizzy as if all strength was leaving his body.

But the more I tried the stronger I struck.

Kwasik-!

This time the hitting area was pretty good.

The hammer must have hit her wrist just right so the dagger that the woman was holding tightly at any moment flew through the sky and fell to the ground.

‘Okay then no more weapons.’

Letting go of worrying about counterattacking I hit the hammer again.

Kwasik-! Kwasik-! Kwasik-!

Six used a strange movement to protect his head by twisting his neck three times but the fourth time was different.

That’s right it went right into the top of my head this time.

Kwasik-!

A strong shock is sent to the brain and the body stiffens as if having a seizure.

However I did not stop and continued to hit the hammer.

The impossible-to-evade correction no longer occurred.

It seems that this monster-like woman couldn’t show the trick of dodging by just moving her neck when she was seriously concussed.

Kwasik Kwasik Kwasik-!

Then hit his head with the hammer three more times.

‘One more time.’

When I lifted the hammer preparing for the fourth blow.

Six’s eyes were visible through a face covered in blood and crushed flesh and bones.

It was a bit of a strange experience.

I’ve split the heads of countless enemies but there’s never been anything like this.

“….”

Calm eyes that never look like someone in trouble.

She said looking up at me with those eyes of hers.

“…I lost.”

Hey do you see how cool it is?

She didn’t look like a woman who would beg for her life but I didn’t expect her to go to this extent.

Well it doesn’t matter either way.

“Nah… Raph. Donia…”

I hit the hammer with all my might.

Kwasik-!

With an eerie hitting sound Six’s body below stopped.

“Heo heo heo heo….”

The breathing was so rapid that it reached the tip of my chin.

‘Is he really… dead?’

It doesn’t feel real at all.

That’s how strong the enemy was.

But she can’t rest like this forever.

Sigh.

I took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

and….

“Er… Well now that’s enough [Spiritualization]—.”

Hurry up and release it.

The moment I was about to say that.

[mister-!!!!]

As if I had symptoms of orthostatic hypotension my vision turns white and my body sways.

‘What the fuck….’

I need to wake up right now.

There are still a lot of guys to kill.

Slurp.

My eyes close.
