Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 478
Episode 478. Barbarians’ coming-of-age ceremony (1)
Hmm…
To be honest, I’m worried.
In order to pass this test perfectly, each member will have to go through hell.
‘It’s not easy for me to just roll because I have a soft heart…’
It feels like my eyes are already getting moist.
It was so heartbreaking to know that my precious comrades who had just fought a fierce battle were suffering.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t just relax.
‘The place where the hourglass is is the same as the final destination of the coming-of-age ceremony, so I have to get rid of it anyway.’
It was also a waste to give up Pudalak’s unique ability, which can only be achieved by becoming an honorary barbarian through a coming-of-age ceremony.
“so. Would you like to participate?”
“I will participate. Instead, I’ll select some people. I have a few friends who are still a bit unwell.”
At Jinhyeok’s words, the members who struggled on their limbs spat out one word at a time.
“The owner….”
“Mogi mosquitoes.”
“A subcontractor.”
“Jinhyuk. You…”
“Looks like you have a minimum of conscience left. Yes, let Ellis and Teresa rest, and I’d rather just you and me…”
“That’s unfortunate. If everyone participates, the rewards are bigger.”
“Increased rewards…what exactly does that mean?”
“There is a legendary Stan Lloyd that has been passed down from generation to generation in our tribe. Very savory, bitter… uh, mouth-watering. Anyway, there is such a thing.”
aka ‘Bavarian Juice’.
It was an elixir that raised the ‘Strength’ stat through eating, which only existed in the Tower of Trials.
“…that’s too big an offer to turn down.”
Jinhyeok grabbed Pudalak’s hand.
“Hmm. Didn’t you say you were worried about your co-workers? This is a test with many injuries.”
“Hahaha, what a shame… Of course, everyone participates. I will roll and roll until very bone-crushing.”
“okay? Ha ha ha! A very good decision! This coming-of-age ceremony should be raised to the highest level of difficulty ever.”
“If you are a disciple of the principal, of course you should! Of course I knew you would say that.”
“right. Your student is very manly.”
“It doesn’t matter who picked it, of course.”
Pudalak and Amhwang, united under the name of muscle, clenched their fists.
Like a close friend of 20 years, the porridge matches very well.
“Gangjin tongue!”
“The owner is garbage!”
“No, no!”
“Jinhyeok… Mr. I believed it…”
The members of the deceased person corporation, who were destined for hell, screamed desperately.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
The sun slowly rises.
As dawn dawned, everything on the earth started a new day with warm energy.
of course.
“Whoop, whoop, whoop…”
“Whoop… whoop…!”
“Go go go go away!”
The young barbarians who were just going through the coming-of-age ceremony were overcharged with energy.
Biceps and triceps throb.
My quadriceps muscle, which had expanded as if it were about to burst, was about to sprint forward at any moment.
It’s not normal to have to compete with these monsters.
Especially if you are wearing shackles.
Indeed, Alice and Teresa had lost a lot of confidence.
“Ehh… Jim’s legs can’t move very well. I… it’s hard to pray.”
“Wow… that’s scary. The divine power doesn’t come out properly.”
Due to the nature of the barbarians, who only deal with pure physical strength, the use of additional abilities was taboo.
At least in adult ceremonies.
Instead, unlike the deceased corporation, the weight of the shackles on the other warriors was 50 kg, but…
well, looking at the guys giggling and running around, it seemed difficult to say that it was such a restriction.
“This time, our horned turtle tribe will win!”
“
Where is the bear tribe? We are the strongest!”
“Tribes with walnuts in their heads, stay still. If you see our warriors this time, you’ll be shocked!”
“They say the test is ‘The Road to Valhalla’, but I’m going crazy with anticipation!”
The tribal chiefs leading each small tribe encouraged the warriors.
hmm.
Seeing morale soaring to the sky makes me feel like I need to do something.
[Player Jinhyeok Kang activates ‘distance video call’!]
Jinhyeok looked at the members standing at the starting line.
Everyone appeared to blow all sorts of swear words with dissatisfied faces.
“Kill me…!”
“Get me out of here!”
“Prank now….”
[Mute function activated.]
“…!”
“…”
A silent clamor.
It’s quieted down a bit now.
“Ah, there’s a lot of noise, so I’m only going to say it, so everyone please understand. Yooseong-ah, I’m not swearing with my fingers. Uh huh Sweet potato, don’t show your ass. This is not a bathroom.”
For some reason, there is no such thing as unity even before the start.
Now that this has happened, there is no choice but to press down with dictatorship.
Jinhyeok’s finger went to the button that said ‘Sanction’.
It was a device that enabled long-distance attacks when the barbarians belonging to the leadership authority of the elders did not listen.
But just when the heavenly punishment is about to come down.
“Huh!”
Pudalak appeared on the cliff.
I was about to take a deep breath, and then a loud thunder rang out.
“Where are the warriors who will lead the future of our tribe!!!”
“Oooh!”
“we are here! The warrior ‘Raicha’ of the Big Bear tribe is here!”
“There is also Otsuka of the lizard tail tribe!”
The warriors roared.
The whole mountain vibrated violently.
“I see a lot of smart, young warriors memorizing their tribal names and their names properly! I will be waiting for you at the top of Valhalla. Please, expect many to come to the top!”
[You have officially participated in the barbarians’ coming-of-age ceremony.]
Difficulty : S
Victory conditions: At least two of the participants must cross the finish line.
Juice (strength stat +30) x5. 31st floor final pass.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Kung! thud! thud! thud!
As the test began, the warriors rushed forward frantically.
The first test is to cross the river.
A torrent of tremendous speed blocked everyone’s footsteps.
[Reward for first passer: You can obtain the title ‘Brave Pioneer’.]
[Physical resistance increases by 10% only for coming-of-age ceremonies.]
But.
The barbarians in the lead jumped into the water without hesitation.
“If you are a warrior, cross with guts!”
“awesome!”
“I can’t lose!”
Of course, the guy who said that was swept away by the rapids first.
“To Bar Valhalo…!”
“Quuck… Cool!”
Those who ran after them shared their fate.
with a splash! with a plop!
After dozens more disappeared, the number of barbarians jumping into the river decreased significantly.
For an instant, silence came to the test.
“I cannot swim. The current here is too strong. Even if you build something like a raft, it will sink in an instant.”
It was Cheon You-seong that suggested a new direction.
“You’re smart to notice that.”
“…wasn’t it okay?”
“That kind of number…”
“In fact, I knew that too. Unless you’re an idiot, you don’t float a boat on this river.”
“That’s right.”
The warriors who were gathering the pieces of wood hesitated.
“Then what should I do?”
“You just have to run on water. If you move your next foot before you fall into the water and move the next one, you can reach the end.”
“Is that possible?”
“If a true warrior believes in his own two legs… it is possible. This must be a gateway to test that courage and faith. And all the glory goes to the warrior who crosses the river first.”
true warrior.
The waves that those words caused instantly made the hearts of the young warriors warm up.
“I am a true warrior.”
“My me first!”
“How dare you!”
Chun Yoo-seong, who persuaded the barbarians, glanced at the video communication.
“…Can we do it this way?”
“huh. Now the stimulated kids will run into ignorance.”
“If you do that?”
“A road that allows you to easily cross the river will appear, so you can aim for it and cross it.”
This river has one unique characteristic.
When the number of drifted barbarians exceeds a certain value, stones appear on top of the river.
It was probably intended to teach a warrior that he should be aware of his surroundings and be cautious, rather than just looking ahead and rushing.
‘I don’t understand such a profound meaning, so this test is probably the most difficult among the barbarians.’
They say there were smart barbarians in the distant past. It must have been a test made by the heads and elders who led the clan at that time.
Again the barbarians jumped into the water.
“Cool!”
“True…”
“Ex-warriors!”
A true warrior is an asshole.
They are not even Jesus Christ.
Unless you receive at least the protection of Eden, you will never be able to walk on water.
More barbarians than before disappeared downstream.
As the dropouts continued, there was a slight change in sleep.
Stones resembling turtles began to rise.
now!
“Cross!”
“shit. Goes!”
Chun Yoo-seong jumped at Jin-hyeok’s cry.
A number of barbarians are already drowning in the water.
Now, you will be able to take the lead in no time.
But
things in the world don’t go so smoothly.
“Hey!”
Undine, who came last, stumbled and was swept away by the current.
“Save me!”
“Hold… your hand!”
Chun Yoo-seong stretched out his hand. The rest of the Spirit Beasts also moved to save their comrades.
“Just go. Are you going to give up the first reward just to get one?”
“Are you talking about that!”
“Even the Undines are saying that they don’t want you caught on their ankles. Are you the one who intends to destroy that noble will!”
“No, I want to live… kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa place
Undine, unable to hold on, was swept away by the torrent and disappeared.
A sad sacrifice followed from the first test.
Still, since it’s a water spirit, it should be able to survive somewhere under the waterfall.
…maybe. After
⁕ ⁕ ⁕,
difficult tests continued.
Climbing a cliff over 1km long.
Holding an eagle’s legs and jumping between mountains.
And thanks to the struggles of the Goinmul Corporation, which maintains the top rank at every gateway, a strange sense of incongruity was formed among the elders.
It was because they did not know that they might be pushed by outsiders at the coming-of-age ceremony, where the reputation of the tribe was decided.
[Death: 0 / Injuries: 529]
[Ranking]
1. Deceased Corporation (13 rewards obtained)
2. Brown bear tribe (2 rewards obtained)
3. Lizard Tail tribe (1 reward obtained)
4…..
Eventually A few tribes who couldn’t stand it threw a match.
It was an agreement with other tribes who would rather die than to subdue the Old Man Corporation first through an alliance.
“This is an urgent meeting.”
“You have to conspire.”
“Let everyone gather. You must never let that man know.”
“Of course. It is being done very secretly.” If you look closely
, you can see that they are wearing
something similar to earplugs, one on each ear .
Seriously.
Tsk tsk.
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue as he saw the elders having a meeting.
Thanks to the blessed body, you can be in the upper classes. It’s amazing to live day by day with that brain.
‘If I had been in modern society, I would have been scammed 12 more times.’
They probably don’t even know they’ve been scammed.
Either that or not, the elders rolled their still heads and concocted a plan.
