Chapter 528

Episode 528: Escape Plan (1)

A colleague’s spec upgrade occurred after a long time.

This event was considered very positive to me because Erwen was drinking solo like crazy after drinking the essence of chaos.

Well, you’ll know exactly what’s accurate only after you’ve properly researched the specs of the integers.

It was a car to quickly approach Einar and inquire about the change in detail.

“Yandel.”

“… huh?”

Feeling a chill for some reason, I turned around and saw Amelia, who was spraying cold eyes.

“I want to talk about what happened a while ago.”

“ah… .”

Something has come.

I thought I just passed it because I didn’t say anything until now.

Did I miss the timing and keep waiting because the essence came out?

“ah! What did you mean earlier!”

I approached Amelia with a big smile and congratulated her for her contributions to the battle.

“It is all thanks to you and Misha that we caught this giant. If it weren’t for the two of you, he’d probably recover again, otherwise the hunt would have been a failure! A lot of trouble! Einar! Shouldn’t you say thank you too?”

“Thank you!”

Even though Einar and I expressed sincere gratitude, Amelia’s expression showed little excitement.

“indeed… Does it come out that way?”

Yes, you read all my numbers.

This is a bit difficult.

It was a time when I was thinking about a breakthrough, what to do with the eyes that seemed to have not changed but became a little colder.

“Karlstein, why are you still?”

Amelia tries to call in reinforcements to see if she is driving me into a corner.

However, in the end, it was a handshake.

“… Yes?”

“You should also state your opinion. If you don’t say that you didn’t like what you didn’t like, you’ll only suffer in the end-”

“uh? I’m not really okay…?”

“… what?”

Amelia asked back, taken aback by the answer that was so nonchalant.

“that is… What do you mean?”

A question that I truly do not understand.

Perhaps feeling this, Misha looked at Amelia, glanced at me, and opened her mouth slightly.

“that… I… I think it’s helpful now…. So I didn’t feel too bad….”

No one was making excuses or making excuses.

It seemed like he was just telling the truth.

“Karlstein, you… .”

“… huh?”

“… No, that’s it.”

Amelia kept her mouth shut, looking like she had much to say. She and she looked at me and let out a deep sigh and she said only:

“Today, just stop here. I will watch over you, Yandel.”

After hearing Misha’s answer, he seems to have lost his energy….

Okay, so this problem is over here.

“Einar, can you feel the change?”

“uh… Not sure yet! It seems to have gotten stronger.”

The remaining personnel returned to the state of alert and began to check the newly obtained essence.

First of all, start with active skills.

“Then lie down.”

After I gave my instructions, Einar crouched down without saying a word. A posture that perfectly matches the one shown by Hipramagent earlier.

“Now then, use your superpowers.”

Long words were not necessary.

「Einar Pnellin has cast [Crouch].」

I don’t know if it’s the first integer. Einar, who had already eaten and used many essences, skillfully activated the newly acquired skill.

Whoa-!

A yellow translucent membrane sprouts upward, protecting the user from a crouching posture.

「Increases all resistance values ​​by 20 times for 3 minutes.」

「Increases natural regeneration by 20 times for 3 minutes.」

「In proportion to the amount of damage absorbed while crouching, all stats are greatly increased until the end of the battle.」

As a result of various experiments while [Crouch] was active, the skill itself was the same as that of an ogre.

I wondered if there might be a difference in skill.

‘It seems that the increase in resistance and regeneration is similar.’

It is consistent with the fact that the stat increases in proportion to the damage received while casting [Crouch] does not activate against people.

It’s probably only applied to monsters like in the game.

“I… Could we possibly help?”

Afterwards, as I was about to check my abilities, three wizards from the exploration team approached me.

“that… When you enter the labyrinth this time, bring a water purification test kit…. If not as much as the lab, it will help quite a bit.”

“Oh, if so. Get some help.”

It was much better than saying that the power was getting stronger by fist-fighting, so I obediently entrusted Einar to the trio.

and how long has it been

Although the detailed figures are unknown, and several special stats cannot be captured with kits.

Still, rough basic stat information was derived.

Strength (top), Natural Regeneration (top), Physical Resistance (top).

Endurance (medium), bone strength (medium), lung capacity (medium).

Vision (bottom), patience (bottom), mana sensitivity (bottom).

and…

“You have one weakening ability.”

Only one negative stat.

“Weakness ability? what? Come on, tell me.”

At my urging, one of the wizards glanced at Einar and said,

“It’s a fighting spirit.”

It was a completely unexpected stat.

but… .

“It’s a fighting spirit….”

Come to think of it, Einar is also strangely calm.

If it was like before, I would have said that we should stop doing these boring experiments, catch monsters, and check them out.

“how… How weakened are you?”

I asked for detailed figures, but the wizard only returned an answer saying that it would be difficult to find out that far with the current equipment.

So, I decided to write a primitive method.

“Einar! I’m bored. Do you want to do sparring?”

Barbarians do not refuse sparring under any circumstances.

In the first place, Dalian is no different from play.

If you go to the barbarian-only accommodation, you can see warriors fighting from morning to night in the clearing.

But what is this?

“Dalian… ? Umm….”

Among the barbarians, it was not enough that Einar, who was a top barbarian, was unwilling to speak. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“… Do it later! later! Isn’t it time to do research first!”

you say no?

‘Somehow, even that giant kept running away….’

How much has your fighting spirit diminished?

***

The explorer you saw yesterday and the explorer you saw today are different people.

It’s usually a word that expresses the sword-like side of explorers, but it’s not wrong in itself.

In order to explore a labyrinth full of monsters, you need to eat essence, and it was all too common for that essence to affect the explorer’s personality.

Like Einar now.

“fight? Well, you do, but…. Do you even need to find it? It’s peaceful and nice now….”

The barbarian female warrior who had considered defeating monsters and proving her bravery a few minutes ago to be the joy of life changed in an instant.

“A battle cry.”

“… huh?”

“Let out a battle cry. practice.”

“Behel… Laa…?”

“Damn it.”

I’m not going to laugh and move on, the situation is serious.

It’s not that there weren’t any problems, but in the end, Einar’s greatest strength was his recklessness.

“Yandel… Is that okay?”

“… It’s scary because Mr. Freneline is like that.”

Other comrades who had heard the battle cry without a hawk also realized the seriousness and cautiously approached me.

He must have been worried because he had to fight in front of him.

However, right now there is no other way.

The essence I’m going to feed next has a lot of fighting spirit attached to it, so if I eat that, it’ll be a little better….

‘Until then, will this state last?’

I’m really curious again.

How many fights have you lost?

His basic inclination itself is belligerent, so it wouldn’t be possible to do this with a few dozen cuts….

‘It must be at least over -100.’

In that sense, I was a bit worried.

It was positive that non-combat stats such as fighting spirit were negative rather than strength, but that should be to a certain extent.

‘… It doesn’t mean that even if I eat it, it will become like that.’

Even when I eat this essence, it will be after the 40 fighting spirit attached to the orc hero has disappeared, so the change will be more pronounced.

“What about embodied ability? Is there any way to find out?”

First of all, I decided to find out what the passive was.

“In the case of embodied ability, it is difficult to uncover with our experimental tools. However, you can find out what kind it is.”

“Try it.”

After permission was given, the wizards approached Einar with various experimental tools, and after about 30 minutes they returned with the results.

“The Embodiment Ability seems to be a support support type. It has the biggest numerical change that way.”

“Isn’t it a survival or defense type?”

“There’s a signal there too, but it’s insignificant.”

It was a completely different result than expected.

Seeing that he didn’t die instantly even after his head was pierced, I thought it must have been that way.

[Last Resistance], [Phoenix Heart], [Fighting Dead]… .

I was thinking of candidates like that, but I didn’t think it was that.

‘So what?’

Since it is unknown, the test was carried out within the limit that can be done immediately.

“Einar, it will sting a little.”

“I don’t like being sick… .”

“That’s because there’s something wrong with your head right now.”

“Oh, is it?”

In the end, I tested it on the line of cutting off a finger, but I couldn’t find any meaningful data.

This is the same in sparring, which was done by persuading something he was reluctant to do.

“… Dalian ends here.”

“oh? Really?”

Ultimately, Passive decided to find out later when time was left. It’s already been a long time since I’ve been able to find out this far.

“Come on, let’s go.”

So the exploration was resumed.

***

During the three days we were able to stay on this island, we explored the island as thoroughly as possible without wasting time.

First of all, the first goal is to complete the island map.

In the process, of course, he had to encounter numerous monsters, including the Hipramagent.

In his case, have you met eight times?

Three times I skipped it because two of them were with me, and two times I failed because he succeeded in escaping.

As a result, three more raids were successful.

However, I couldn’t even get a magic stone all three times this time.

That’s right, all distortion magic failed.

‘If the distortion magic succeeds, then you have to go through the probability of getting an integer again….’

I didn’t even think about it at first but realized it again.

How lucky I was to get the essence on the first try.

Objects whose corpses disappear had an insane level of difficulty in obtaining essence.

‘Jeongsu, there is ‘beginner’s luck’, so even if you say so, if the distortion magic doesn’t succeed…. That wouldn’t have worked in the first place.’

Apart from that, I learned a little more about this guy after repeatedly fighting the Hipramagent.

‘Although the village chief’s book says that it is estimated to be level 2, but….’

No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t even level 2.

In the first place, the size of the magic stone is almost the same as that of the top 3.

Because of [crouching], the minimum amount of damage required to attack is on the high side….

The higher the survivability, the lower the attack power.

That should also be taken into account before grading.

‘then… I think it’s about a 2.7 grade, including the fact that he lives in a group.’

Well, I guess that’s roughly it.

It’s strange to be classified as a 2nd class when there is no 2nd class skill in the first place.

Suddenly, the authenticity of the information written in the village chief’s book was a little suspicious, but this time I decided to see it as a special case.

Even in the book, he didn’t say beforehand that he wrote down what he saw and heard, not what he saw himself.

“at las… You are leaving this island.”

As I was organizing my thoughts as I watched the island getting farther and farther away, Wight Hetz approached me.

“Does it look relieved? They haven’t found a way to get back to the city yet.”

“still… . It’s much better than being stuck on that island. At the time, I really had no idea what was going to happen.”

I wonder if it’s still the same now, but I didn’t bother to say it.

Because even at the bottom there is an up and down.

Now that I have something to believe in, it would be much better—.

————!

At that moment, a gust of wind blew from the island side, and the ship shook greatly.

‘what?’

The car hurried to call Erwen at the observatory.

Wight Hex, who was next to him, pointed at one place with his finger.

“I-over there… !”

excuse me? what over there

I glanced at it and tilted my head to see what was wrong, but my body stiffened. No, it wasn’t just me, but all the explorers on deck were the same.

“….”

“….”

Far away, in the center of the increasingly smaller island, something stood up and glared at us.

While letting out a ferocious scream.

[Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh–!]

But the fortunate thing is that they only make noise from afar, and they don’t seem to have any intention of running right away.

“Um, what is that… .”

Looking at the completely stunned Wight Hex, I murmured softly.

“It seems that the friend who died at the time did not see anything wrong.”

A super-giant giant with a height of well over 40m.

Even among the class lords, there was no one of this size.

At that size, it’s to the point where you can’t even figure out how to run a raid.

But, nonetheless.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

I thought as I got on the boat that increased speed as if I was running away from him and got away from the island.

‘To escape from this island, I think I’ll have to catch him too….’

How are you going to catch him?
