Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

Chapter 67

67 Episode Field Boss (3)

Struggle, thump, thump-

The black rain that makes your skin ache just by touching it.

I know what this is.

[Rain of Despair]

Lord of Chaos Liakis’ passive aura skill.

“The character is taking chaotic damage over time.”

“The character’s resistance to magic is greatly reduced.”

「Warning: When continuously exposed to chaotic damage, there is a chance that the status abnormality [Confusion] is given.」

This skill not only inflicts large-area damage, but also turns the terrain hit by rainwater into an erosion zone and removes all kinds of field effects.

That is to say.

‘Nimiral… … .’

I hoped it was, but it really did come.

“No, it’s a bastard! He’s here!”

“Hey, hey! what one! Come on, don’t go stop him!”

A panic breaks out among the explorers on the third floor who have paid the protection fee.

And focus your attention in one place.

“I hope you don’t want to run away from us!”

“Didn’t you even bring equipment to protect you? Take responsibility!”

Emotional shouts from dozens of people.

The polite executive, who had announced himself as the representative in front of the crowd several times, sighed heavily with a bitter smile.

“… In the end, that’s how things turn out.”

It’s not that I don’t understand his current mood.

As long as they have received the protection fee, the only option they have is to face the class monarch with all their might.

but… … .

“This expedition is going to have a lot of damage.”

Surprisingly, there was only confusion on the executive’s face, and there was no sign of anxiety or impatience.

Then he caught his breath and cried out loudly.

“Lord of Chaos Liakis has arrived! Take out everything you have prepared!!”

An instruction rang out loudly.

As a result, those who have the Dzarwi clan’s emblem engraved on their hearts move in unison.

“Each team to each location!”

Wizards and priests and ranged dealers to the center.

Proximity warrior-type explorers head outwards.

And start using all kinds of consumables without hesitation.

「I used the Advanced Endurance Auxiliary Scroll.」

「I used the energy regeneration auxiliary scroll.」

「I used the number item [Sun Lord’s Flag].」

“The light of Ersium permeates the weapon… … .”

“… … .”

Various doping type magic scrolls, consumable number items, and various types of equipment auxiliary consumables.

In less than a minute.

Consumables of at least 10 million stones disappear as light.

“There are enough supplies, so don’t spare them! We will return alive, at least one more!”

I thought I underestimated them.

Now that I see it, it wasn’t that I lacked imagination.

They already had even the worst situation in mind, and were fully prepared behind the scenes.

‘Nevertheless, I received a protection fee… … .’

I’d literally just bet on it.

Because that’s a little more likely.

Pisik-

For some reason, I laughed out loud.

‘After all, there are too many efficient insects in this world.’

You need to be a little more humble.

These must also be the ones who risked their lives countless times to become explorers and have reached where they are today.

But it must have been luck to get to that place.

“You always carry this kind of stuff with you… … .”

“It’s also a large clan!”

Rather than cursing, you should always set boundaries.

If you are jealous, it would be more efficient to find something to learn from the report.

“Bjorn, what are we going to do now?”

“What do you do? We have to watch it first.”

At first, that was the original plan.

Since you’ve encountered a hierarchical monarch, you have to take a big risk just to leave this place.

Well, if there is no right answer, I will have to run right away, even at the risk… … .

‘This will be enough to endure.’

As if to prove this, a fire barrier wraps around us in the form of a circle.

It’s not an essence skill, it’s just a magic spell.

“The Spirit of Chaos has been destroyed.”

“The location will be eroded.”

after it started to rain.

The spirits of chaos, which began to rush in like a tidal wave, were destroyed without breaking through the barrier of fire.

Whoops-!

In addition, a huge barrier formed over the head blocked even the pouring rainwater.

Well, that’s the only thing that can be stopped with a fire barrier or barrier, but that’s it.

“Bjorn, look over there!”

From where Misha was pointing, a huge shadow slowly grew in shape.

Accompanied by a heavy earth rumble.

Koo-! Koo-!

Horns sprouting over the head.

Thick, rough-looking black leather.

An ominous aura hovering above it.

[Guoo—!]

A beast the size of a monster movie, which makes you lose your sense of distance, easily crossed the fire barrier and revealed its shape.

“I, that is… … .”

“Hey, it’s Liakis, the lord of chaos!!”

The crowd was frightened and stepped back, while the clan members remained calm.

“Keep your seat! Never leave it facing backwards!”

As if battles with large monsters are a daily routine, the warriors silently defend their positions.

Would you like it?

Kwaang-!!

The full-fledged battle began with Riakis slamming his front foot down.

***

What about real raids that aren’t in the game?

The answer to the long-standing question I had in my heart was really simple.

“Never try to stop it, just avoid it! Got it!”

Even tanks as well as melee dealers thoroughly avoid head-to-head matches, and agilely dodge a swinging tail or slashing claws.

That’s probably what they know best.

No matter how hard the body and the high strength level, there is no way you can compete with a monster like that.

‘Is the actual battle with the monarch like this? Interesting.’

Maybe it’s because it’s a role I have to play someday.

Clearly, the focus is on the battles of close-range explorers rather than wizards or such dealers.

There is a lot to see and learn.

There were also a few scary scenes.

Aww-!!

No matter how hard you try to avoid it.

In battles with such high-ranking monsters, there can be no casualties.

Normally, if you get hit by a blow like that, you won’t get injured, but die instantly… … .

“Hey, I’m still alive after taking that… … .”

“… It’s really great.”

Their stats are popping up with numerous essences, and they are already one weapon, receiving various scroll doping and support from priests and supporter-type explorers.

“Ahhh!!”

“Chibaah!”

Warriors who get healed and return to the front line right away even when their bodies are shattered.

Of course, not all were like that.

“Damn it, I wasn’t such a naughty bastard… … .”

“Don’t look away and focus on the battle!”

The fighting continued and there were also deaths.

One melee warrior was crushed by his foot and died instantly, and the three ranged dealers who had been grouped together by the breath Liakis emitted melted in an instant.

But if we analyze the current situation in a cool way… … .

‘It’s still stable.’

“Bur, four people are already dead… Wow, isn’t it dangerous?”

It’s the reaction of the explorers on the third floor anyway.

Still, the warriors are holding up well on the front lines.

The magic of the wizards was also powerful enough to push Riakis away from the center.

‘It seems that the dark sphere pattern is also clearly recognized.’

“Hey, let’s watch it for now! Still, the famed Dzarwi clan no! Won’t you do something for me?”

A black marble that came up from the eroded land and headed for Liakis.

“Lord of Chaos Lyakis draws in the power of the source.”

The things I was most worried about were also blown up in the air by the ranged dealers before being absorbed by Riakis.

“Stop attack!!”

“He shouldn’t feel threatened anymore!”

Also, it was clear now that he stopped the firepower offensive in the middle and even managed Riakis’s vitality.

They know the strategy.

‘So I guess I’ll just have to endure it somehow. If you start Phase 2 without those things, it’s over.’

“Why are you stopping the attack now? Are they all just idiots? When I get a little momentum, I’m sure… … .”

In a way, it was natural.

A deceased person who played [Dungeon & Stone] for 10 years?

Is there anything you don’t know about this game?

what does that mean

It is just arrogance to think that I am the only one who knows everything in this world.

Labyrinths have existed for thousands of years.

It wasn’t like the worldview in the game, but it was a reality for the people here.

They had to go in to make a living, and there must have been a lot of trial and error.

And this will be passed down to future generations as a record.

‘Really valuable knowledge is monopolized by only a few.’

Of course, I’m not too worried about it.

The ‘hidden elements’, which were particularly difficult to find in the game, seemed to be hardly recognized even by people here.

Knowledge as a deceased person will still be my greatest weapon in surviving here.

Click.

I opened the watch and checked the time.

[22:37]

Novel from https://readwn.com

More than three hours have already passed.

Despite the prolonged battle, the clan members were faithfully performing their respective roles without losing concentration.

but… … .

‘After using that amount of consumables, it doesn’t matter how much money you have for protection now.’

It was like knowing why large clans didn’t hunt hierarchical monarchs even though they suddenly knew the strategy.

The rewards are not small when subjugating, but… … .

Huge goods that go into it.

The possibility that an elite member could die.

In addition, even in the event of failure, there is a huge risk that comes back.

‘Young Suzy won’t fit.’

That was the time I was thinking about it.

Aww-!

For some reason, Liakis ignored the warriors and rushed to the center, crushing the five ranged dealers in an instant.

A situation that can occur sufficiently during a raid.

Fortunately, the warriors got up and rushed to Liakis and put it back again… … .

In the process, two melee dealers died instantly.

‘Still, the remaining time will be enough to endure.’

I analyzed the war situation again.

A total of 11 people have died so far.

It is a number equivalent to 20% of the total power, but the remaining personnel are doing their jobs without panicking.

Even if there are some gaps.

It would never be enough to lead to a fatal outcome.

The problem is that there are so many bastards around who can’t even make such simple judgments.

“Wrong! These incompetent bastards!!”

“I know how many people have died!!”

It must not have been that he stepped on an erosion zone and fell into a state of [confusion], but again panic erupts among the crowd.

If you understand the psychology, there was nothing that could not be done.

11 deaths.

Because this was only counted based on clan members, which is the actual combat power, countless explorers who paid the protection fee died every time Riakis did a damn thing.

‘Is my judgment clouded in a situation where I felt threatened with my life?’

From my point of view, it’s my fault that I was idling like an asshole while raiding right next door.

But if you say it like that, you won’t be able to hear it.

“Bjorn, the atmosphere is not serious.”

“Know.”

“We have to do something—”

“Wait. I am thinking.”

I looked around as wide as possible.

The clan didn’t seem to be able to detect this feeling yet, as they focused only on Riakis.

And in the meantime, a man raises his voice loudly and sets fire to confusion.

“We can’t just watch it like this, let’s all work together to survive!”

It was Jack Fletcher who took off his gear and paid for the protection before anyone else.

“Do you know how many people have already died? They can’t protect us. We must defend ourselves!”

“Right!”

“But I don’t have the equipment, so how… … .”

“It must be returned! After all, didn’t those guys not keep their promises?”

At his agitation, the guilds that had previously turned away from him also helped, and the scale grew out of control.

I whispered briefly.

“Misha, get ready.”

“Prepare, what?”

“I am leaving this place right now.”

It’s already gone here.

***

As soon as I quickly packed my backpack.

As if in a riot, many explorers rush to the center where they stocked up on supplies.

“Everyone, calm down! This would put everyone at risk—”

Only then did the clan recognize the situation, but… … .

It’s already late.

“Don’t be funny!!”

“Give me back my gear!”

Soon after, the clan’s wizards and archers are pushed aside, and the explorers begin to collect whatever they can get their hands on with a greedy gaze.

“My, give it to me! That’s mine!!”

“Hey, where is that in this situation!”

“Get away now! If you don’t back down, I’ll attack you!”

“You die here, you die that way!”

“What are you hesitating about? From now on they are looters! Destroy them all!”

At some point, seeing a figure full of confusion and madness, I erased even the last remaining regrets.

“Bjorn… … .”

“Stop looking around and let’s go.”

“Oh, okay!”

He led Misha and ran to the opposite side of Liakis.

Before long, a wall of fire surrounded us all around us.

“Hey, what can I do with this!”

what about what

“It goes through.”

You have to beat yourself up like a barbarian.

It’s going to get a bit burnt, but that’s it.

“Gee, are you serious?!”

oh, you’re not

“Ouch! Aww—!”

After picking up Misha with both arms, she lifted it up high as if hurrahing. And running in that state, he quickly crossed the barrier of fire that seemed to be about 5 meters thick.

Chi profit-!

The faint smell of vibrating meat.

Even through pain tolerance, the skin hurts slightly.

I asked.

“Misha, are you okay?”

“… thanks i’m fine Look ahead!”

Soon after putting down Misha and looking in front of me, the spirits of chaos were teeming with me.

However, I do not have time to go through each one.

“Run.”

“Oh! between me?”

“Then is there any other way?”

Still, they found us one by one and are slowly moving their bodies.
