STGB Chapter 394

Episode 394 Captain Barbarian (4)

The reason why he dared to fight four at once is simple.

Even if you defeat all four in a 1:1 tournament, they won’t be convinced.

I decided that this was the only way to convince everyone.

Throwing food in front of you that you can’t stomach without swallowing it.

“Ah, I’ll tell you in advance, if I lose, I’ll give up the captain’s seat.”

A chance to take one competitor off the stage.

“But why is no one saying anything? Maybe it’s because the four of us fight together and don’t have the confidence to win?”

As the provocation was added to this, the other side gradually responded.

“I’m in favor.”

“What? Anyway, that’s as far as we’re going to do that against one person—

”

“Aquraba-senpai is right.”

Public opinion was created when the vice-captain added to the Dwarf lady’s words.

In response, the knight nodded his head, albeit reluctantly, and the paladin remained silent and expressed his approval.

You know, you know.

The situation might be a little funny to tell others, but it’s an opportunity to easily shake off one competitor.

“Did you say Lichen Schuitz?”

“however?”

“You’ll have to keep the promise you made a moment ago.”

“Of course. If I lose, I’ll make one of you captain without further ado. But—” “And

vice versa, you’d like a definite answer, right? Okay. At least if you beat us all, you’ll have whatever you want. I will get a seat.”

After that, I asked for confirmation from the other three besides Acuraba, and the verbal contract ended in an instant.

I didn’t leave it in writing, but more than anything, there is a notary public, so you can put your worries down.

“That’s it. Marquis, is there a suitable place?”

“Of course.”

The Marquis readily gave us the parade ground in the mansion, as if he wasn’t even worried about me.

It’s probably not like that because you trust me 100%.

I would have judged that even if I had failed because of my brazenness, I would have benefited from it.

For example, because of this failure, they intervene in every detail.

“Then I’ll be waiting outside.”

Soon after arriving at the training ground, I packed up my equipment.

“The character wears a large adamantium battle shield.”

“The overall item level rises by +1750.

”

“The character wears steel breastplates.”

“The overall item level increases by +150.” “

The character wears steel leggings.”

“The overall item level increases by +75.”

“The character acquires war boots. I wore it.”

“Overall item level rises by +45.”

At that time, cheap equipment that I had no choice but to get cheap because I had no money. Huh, now that I have money, I should change everything to adamantium.

“The character is No. 87 Crawl’s Demon Crusher is equipped.」

「Overall item level rises by +4800.」

Soon, after fully equipping the hammer and going out to the parade ground, four men and women who had finished their preparations appeared one by one.

“Isn’t it strange? Now I’m saying this is more comfortable than cloth clothes.”

“Isn’t it because the body is aligned? It’s because I wear this more often than everyday clothes.”

At first glance, the equipment looks expensive.

However, no matter how well you take care of it, there are signs of wear and tear on the joints.

I looked at their equipment.

‘I’ve come back with glue on accessories that no one else has ever seen before.’

Yes, even if everyone came in suits, I thought they would have brought equipment to the subspace.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to call myself an explorer.

“But the other side is so… not what I expected.”

“I heard he was a man after the Blood Spirit, so didn’t she buy me an armor?”

“Are you sure you intend to fight wearing that equipment?”

Four men and women who make strange faces while looking at the ordinary steel equipment I wear.

The look in his eyes was closer to the feeling of unfamiliarity than contempt.

In fact, it must have been unexpected that I, who was here on the recommendation of the late writer, would be so substandard.

“No problem.”

What’s the point of steel armor?

It’s not a very significant variable in this battle.

Well, to be honest, it was a bit embarrassing to see such gazes gather, so it seemed like PTSD would recur, but……. If you

think about it, this is also a problem that doesn’t matter much.

“Come on.”

According to common sense, the side with the smashed head is more embarrassing, right?

***

There is a saying that a master’s fight is decided in a moment.

Of course I don’t agree with that.

I don’t know if it’s in the middle of a life-or-death fight among extremely skilled swordsmen, but I’m a true tanker.

My true value is displayed when I go to a long-term battle.

But…….

First of all, at least it wasn’t much different from the fight between masters I imagined.

“…….”

The conversation disappeared at some point.

distance apart from each other.

Eyelids with a reduced closing cycle.

Their eyes cross each other and a heavy tension is laid.

The muscles learned through numerous real battles are contracted to produce optimal power at any moment, and sweat gradually forms on the hand holding the weapon.

And…….

Sweep.

A sense that responds sensitively even to small movements.

This is one of the reasons why many-on-one combat is tricky.

There are so many things to take care of.

Yes, so rather…

“How long are you going to stay like that?”

The moment you ask a question and the other person tries to answer it.

Using that one breath as an opening, kick off the ground and dash forward.

The first target was the most aggressive knight standing in front.

“……!”

The guy who forcibly swallowed his breath narrowed his forehead.

It seems that his pride was hurt by the fact that he became the first target…

Whoa!

The aura of a skilled knight who has reached a state of proficiency quickly wraps around the blade and swings at me.

Whether it’s a labyrinth or a city, that aura would have cut countless heavy armored men like tofu.

「The character has cast [Iron Fortress].」

「The effect of [Evolutionary Envelope] is increased by 1.5 times.」

I raised my shield and blocked it.

Kakak!

Instead of cutting like usual, the knight looked puzzled as the sword ricocheted away.

However, like a soldier trained in actual combat, the time was extremely short.

Whii Iik-!

It spins in the air using the bounced power and swings the sword again.

The target for this hit is the lower part that is difficult to block with a shield.

To be precise, it was the calf part covered with steel leggings.

‘Did you think adamantium was the problem?’

It was very quick to make a decision at the moment of a single battle.

The problem is that there is no right answer.

Kakak!

Do you ignore it because it is made of steel?

It was an opponent who showed a lot of gaps by consuming big movements, so I kicked his chin up with my foot.

Quaang-!

A body floating in the air due to recoil.

Just the right angle to hammer—

“Jun Arshen casts [Guardian Light].”

Nimiral.

Kwaaaang-!

The divine spell cast just in time spread translucently over the knight’s head, blocking my hammering.

And the knight who steps back in the gap.

“how……?”

Even in a situation where he was on the verge of death, he showed a more immersed figure in one question.

Anyway, how come all the articles are the same?

‘……Wouldn’t it be surprising if I blocked the aura with iron armor?’

Anyway, this is why there is a saying that being a luxury item is more important than wearing luxury items.

“No matter how you look at it, the equipment itself is ordinary.”

“Then, that phenomenon must be in people.”

That’s the answer.

Physical resistance is added as a plus alpha to equipment by [Unity], as well as [Evolutionary Envelope] and [Iron Leather].

Well, while the adamantium shield had no scratches, the iron armor had deep scratches.

“I don’t know what essences they ate, but it seems they weren’t just trying to block the aura.”

Acuraba and vice-captain exchange opinions quickly while watching me from the rear, relatively far from the battlefield.

“I have a few guesses. I don’t know why it applies to armour. Carla-kun, would you like to attack with an arrow?”

At Aqurava’s instruction, the vice-captain, dressed in dragon-hide armor, draws the string of his bow.

Have you figured out the sword resistance already?

“James Carla cast [Piercing Light]. .」

I was afraid that the light would stick to the arrowhead, so I put my body inside the shield to

defend myself. That’s right, if you block it with your eyes, it’s already

too

late

. No.

But…

“The arrowhead is stuck.”

The arrowhead dug deep into the adamantium shield, which was unblemished even by the aura. Soon

after, Aqurava shouted and shared the information.

“The sword doesn’t work on that man . .”

After that, I’m going to lose all my money—

Kwaang-!

After pushing the knight away, I kept charging forward and narrowing the distance. The paladin blocked my path.

His main armament was a huge shield and a mace.

Yes, for a tanker, that’s it. The combination is fundamental.

Kwaaaang-!

A paladin who tried to stop me by building a wall with a shield rather than using weapons.

Ji-Ik.

However, whether or not the basic strength is high, the feet drag the ground and are pushed back as soon as they collide.

What a pity It didn’t go far.

「Jun Arshen cast [Unlock Divinity]」

「Jun Arshen cast [Rising Power]」

「Jun Arshen cast [Blessing of the Sun]」

Buffs and self-healing As befits a paladin who is synonymous with a tank, he used various divine spells in succession, and a pure white glow burst out of his body.

And …

“It’s amazing power.”

.

The maximum distance is 20m, but the reason why we approached this close is simple. The

shorter the distance, the more difficult it is to react, right?

Hui-i-!

A strong gust of wind blooms in the calm air

.

The target I designated was the vice-captain of the rear division.

Yes, in many-to-one battles, it’s not only standard practice to kill the rearguard first…

‘If you’re wearing that kind of armor, you’ll want to rip it.’

Drake leather has a considerable amount of exorcism correction, but is vulnerable to physical force.

Simply put, it means that even if you hit one, you are in a dying state.

“The character has cast [Giant].”

“The character’s physique grows, and the threat and body values increase in proportion to the size.”

Using the skill he had saved so far, he pushed the paladin away with increased strength.

And…

Tadat.

Jump towards an archer flying in a gust of wind.

[Giant] and with an increased reach, the archer strikes the hammer before he can react.

“June Arshen cast [Light of Protection].”

Well, the paladin who missed me used the sacred spell that saved the knight earlier…

“The character used a transformation-type ability.”

「The [Cell of the Beginning] effect reduces the skill’s soul power consumption by half and increases the highest stat by 1.5 times.」 The

result was bound to be different from before.

Wasn’t it just flat?

「The character has cast [Swing].」

「The destructive power of blunt weapons greatly increases in proportion to muscle strength.」

My only offensive skill, [Swing].

Kwajijik-!

As soon as the hammer touched, the barrier shattered like a window.

Kwajik-!

The vice-captain slumped on the floor spewing blood from his shattered forehead.

One knight and one tank.

And even though the ninth-floor explorer Aqurava was present, the misfortune that could not be prevented.

“…….”

In the uncomfortable silence, I quietly counted.

“One at a time.”

There are three left.

***

Four senior explorers.

Well, one of them is a knight, so should I take it out?

‘It’ll be real from now on.’

I easily eliminated one of the four talented players, but let alone my guard, I was determined.

You know this is purely an early advantage.

I heard a lot about them from the Marquis, but they knew very little about me.

“…….”

In that sense, the situation is a little awkward.

The sub-captain was seriously injured and unconscious, although he did not die instantly.

At the banquet hall earlier, the person who preached that ‘information power’ is the most important thing is to be the first to be out due to lack of information.

‘Actually, it’s a bit much to say that he was out.’

[Dungeon and Stone] is a world view where it is possible to revive as long as you don’t die.

「Jun Arshen has cast [Regeneration Hand].」

The pure white light leaked from the paladin’s body and flowed into the body of the fainting sub-captain.

There was no way that Shield Baba had a cancellation period, so it was already predestined for him to recover and come to his senses one day.

But…

‘Short-term battles are not allowed.’

I threw everything in a hurry and abandoned the idea of finishing this match until I recovered.

I didn’t even want such an overwhelming victory in the first place.

Even so, it doesn’t make sense to destroy the top four explorers alone, no matter how well the combination is matched.

Everything has a price.

It is the only truth in this harsh world.

That’s why…….

“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!!”

He swings his hammer and runs away.

Quaang.

A paladin blocked me.

Woo-woo-!

At that moment, someone flies up from behind and swings a weapon.

He’s a knight who just went off without a hitch.

I don’t know when I swapped weapons, but I’m holding a blunt weapon in my hand, not a sword.

It’s funny that the knight uses a regular weapon instead of an aura, but…

This is probably a characteristic of the top-ranked players.

To act appropriately according to the situation.

Aaaaaang-!

The blunt weapon that was struck down digs into my shoulder.

The physical impact itself is not that severe.

However, at the moment of being hit, heat rises from the bone.

It was obvious what the reason was.

‘What kind of swap weapon do you carry something like that?’

No. 761 Roam’s Furnace Hammer.

It was a triple number item.

The effect is to add additional fire penetration damage in proportion to physical strength.

However, thanks to the flame resistance, it was still worth holding on.

“Uhhhhhhh-!”

Let out a shout and activate [Wild Eruption].

Using the temporarily increased body stats, kicked the paladin once more and pushed it away—

‘What’s wrong?’

My brain, which had been pickled by devoting my 20s to [Dungeon & Stone], found answers at the same time as questions.

「Jun Arshen has cast [Descent of the Eucharist].」

Yes, you have already activated that as well.

‘It’s not easy after all.’

It seems that these guys have completely lost their guard after one person has been killed.

From now on, it will be difficult to see a strength advantage over the Holy Knights for a while…

「Titana Aqurava is [No. 1911 Paveler’s broken pocket watch] was used.」

The Dwarf lady who was observing the situation also participated in the battle in earnest.

For reference, this lady is an offensive supernatural magician.

A position that is as efficient as a warrior for the Dwarves who use number items as a necessity.

「The cooldown time for 5 minutes disappears.」

For example, that watch is an item that only ends with a 70% reduction unless it is originally a dwarf.

They say it’s on the 9th floor, so you can think of it as having all the core items besides this one.

So, what did this lady’s flagship say?

「Titana Aqlava cast [Vampiric Awl]」

Oh, that’s right, that was it.

It consumes less MP, deals damage, and has the characteristic of MP vampirism.

Whii Yii Yii-!

A huge awl flies towards me.

Originally, it was best to avoid it, but the situation was blocked by a paladin and just a knight on both sides of me.

Kwaaang-!

So I just blocked it with a shield.

Although he was a supernatural magician, these skills were judged as physical damage.

My arms are a little sore, but I can’t stand it.

The problem is that the side is empty to block this.

Scary to see a gap, the paladin and just the knight hit me with blunt weapons.

Kwaaang-!

As soon as I got hit, my whole body felt like it was on fire.

Kwaaang-!

One even penetrated the physical resistance, and the damage was pierced to the bone. Well, if it was [Descent of the Eucharist], my current strength would be twice as high as mine.

‘Okay, let’s just give up on defense.’

I made a quick judgment.

If it’s a situation where even if you block one, you’ll get hit by two.

It would be better to hit three times and hit at least one.

In addition, thanks to the 7th level imprint, natural regeneration is pretty good now.

Kwaaaang-!

With his shield, he blocks even large attacks and wields a hammer.

As a result, the remaining three seemed to think that they were threatening, so they pushed me by opening skills that I hadn’t used.

And in the meantime.

“If you wake up, grab your bow first!”

The vice-captain also received a healing and returned to battle.

Kwaaaang-!

The shield was at least better, but the steel armor with low basic durability was damaged in various places.

Whii Iik-!

Fu-wook!

Arrows penetrated into such areas, increasing the number of injuries.

Hwaaak-!

After being hit by the furnace hammer so many times, what I was able to endure at first is now so hot that I feel like I’m going to die.

Kwaaang-!

The paladin’s mace quality feels like his bones are being shattered every time he gets hit.

Oh, I think it was actually being played back in real time after being fragmented?

Well, it must have been.

But…

“Are you laughing?”

The more I laughed

Because I expected it to be this hard.

Whoop whoop-!

As a result of being hit with a hammer earlier and biting off his tongue, blood pooled in his mouth spews out like a fountain.

It’s a pity that acid blood doesn’t come out anymore.

Are you still blind?

“…Monster.”

“I have to admit, you are definitely stronger than me.”

After we had been dogfighting for such a long time, the driver started to say something.

“But no matter how much you are, it’s impossible to deal with four people at once. Just give up.”

what.

I can see that they are panting from exhaustion.

Still, I still have quite a bit of MP left.

「The character has cast [Soul Dive]」

「Soul power is regenerated in proportion to the consumed soul power

」

In that state, further battles continued, and how much more time had passed since then.

“Why… can’t you fall down?”

The proudly speaking article who suggested giving up said such a question out of his mouth.

“You seem to have drunk at least some of the spring water from the biblical springs.”

As if in response, the paladin muttered something.

“Just do it. Don’t you know that we can’t win?”

The Dwarf lady said as if she was fed up with my stubbornness.

“I’m going to make a promise that I didn’t have, so why don’t we

stop at this point ?”

But…

“Everybody…suddenly talked too long.”

The more they tried to persuade me, the more I focused on one thing.

“Are you nervous about losing?”

What I can do

now . What to do.

And…….

“Please fall down!”

What I’ve done best so far.

“Titana Akurava cast [Vampiric Awl].”

“James Carla cast [Piercing Light].” It was cast.”

“Jun Arshen cast [Regeneration Touch].”

After holding on, holding on, and holding on, the moment finally arrived.

“The user’s soul power is insufficient, so the skill is cancelled.

” The skill is canceled due to lack of it.」

「The skill is canceled due to the lack of user’s holy power.」

In the end, the one standing last is stronger.
