Episode 478 Barbarians’ Coming of Age Ceremony (1)
Hmm… .
To be honest, I am worried.
In order to perfectly pass this test, each member will have to go through hell.
‘It’s not easy for me to just act like I’m soft-hearted… .’
I already feel like my eyes are getting moist.
It was heartbreaking to know that my precious colleagues who had just fought a fierce battle were suffering.
However, that doesn’t mean we can just relax.
‘The place where the hourglass is located is the same as the final destination of the coming-of-age ceremony, so we have to defeat it anyway.’
It was 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 will select some people. “I have a few friends who are still a little unwell.”
At Jinhyuk’s words, the members who were struggling in limbs spoke out one word at a time.
“master… .”
“Mosquito mosquito.”
“Gye, contractor.”
“Jinhyuk. you are… .”
“It looks like you have at least some conscience left. Okay, let Mr. Ellis and Ms. Teresa rest, and it’s just you and me… .”
“That’s a shame. “If everyone participates, the rewards will be greater.”
“The bigger the reward… What exactly do you mean?”
“There is a legend called Stan Lloyd that has been passed down from generation to generation in our tribe. It’s bitter and very savory… Ugh, my mouth is watering. Anyway, there is such a thing.”
Also known as ‘Barbarian Juice’.
It was an elixir that increased the ‘strength’ stat through consumption, which only existed in a very small part of the Tower of Trials.
“… … “It’s an offer too big to refuse.”
Jinhyuk suddenly grabbed Pudalak’s hand.
“Hmm. Didn’t you say you were worried about your colleagues? “This is a test with many injuries.”
“Hahaha, what kind of words… . Of course, everyone participates. I’ll roll and roll until the very bones are powder.”
“okay? Hahaha! This is an excellent decision! “This coming of age ceremony will have to be set to the highest level of difficulty ever.”
“If you are my disciple, of course you should! Of course I knew how to say that.”
“right. “Your student is very manly.”
“Anyway, who chose it, of course.”
Pudalak and Amhwang, united in the name of muscles, clenched their fists.
They fit together very well, like a friend of 20 years.
“Gangjinyeeoeook!”
“The owner is trash!”
“No way!”
“Jinhyuk… Seed. I believed it… .”
The members of the Goinmul Corporation, who had decided to go to hell, screamed in despair.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
The sun slowly rising.
As dawn dawned, everything on the earth began a new day with warm energy.
of course.
“Whoop, whoop, whoop…” .”
“haha… Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… !”
“I’m going, I’m going!”
The young barbarians who were just having their coming-of-age ceremony were extremely energetic.
Tight biceps and triceps.
The thigh muscles, which were swollen as if about to burst, tried to rush forward at any moment.
Having to compete with these monsters is not normal.
Even more so if you are wearing shackles.
In fact, Ellis and Teresa’s confidence had diminished significantly.
“Okay… Well, Jim’s legs aren’t moving very well. me… “Praying is hard.”
“radish… I’m scared. “The divine power is not coming out properly.”
Due to the nature of barbarians who only deal with pure physical strength, the use of additional abilities was taboo.
At least at the coming-of-age ceremony.
Instead, unlike the Stagnant Corporation, other warriors have shackles that weigh 50kg… .
Well, looking at the guys running around and giggling, it didn’t seem like there were any restrictions.
“This time, our Horned Turtle tribe will win!”
“Big bear
There is a tribe, but where! “We are the strongest!”
“Those tribes with only walnuts in their heads, stay still. “If they see our warriors this time, they’ll be so shocked!”
“The exam is called ‘Road to Valhalla’ and I’m going crazy with anticipation!”
The tribal chiefs who led each small tribe encouraged the warriors.
hmm.
Seeing that morale has skyrocketed makes me feel like I need to do something.
[Player Kang Jin-hyuk activates ‘Long Distance Video Call’!]
Jinhyuk looked at the members standing at the starting line.
Everyone appeared to be hurling all sorts of insults with dissatisfied faces.

“Kill me… !”
“Get me out of here!”
“Just kidding… .”
[The mute function is activated.]
“… … !”
“… … .”
A silent clamor.
It’s finally gotten a little quieter.
“Ah, there is so much nonsense that I will only talk about it, so please everyone understand. Yoosung, you are not swearing with your fingers. Uh huh. Sweet potato, don’t show your butt. “There is no bathroom here.”
For some reason, there is no such thing as unity even before the start.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to suppress it through dictatorship.
Jinhyeok’s finger went to the button that said ‘Sanctions’.
It was a device that enabled long-distance attacks when barbarians belonging to the elder-level leadership authority did not listen to instructions.
However, just when the heavenly punishment was about to be delivered.
“Hmm!”
Pudalak appeared on the cliff.
He seemed to take a deep breath, and then a loud thunder rang out.
“Where are the warriors who will lead the future of our tribe!!!”
“Oooooh!”
“we are here! “Raicha, the warrior of the Brown Bear Tribe, is here!”
“There is also Otsuka from the Lizard Tail Tribe!”
The warriors roared.
The entire mountain shook violently.
“Indeed, I see many smart, young warriors who memorize their tribe’s name and their own name! I will be waiting for you at the top of Valhalla. Please, I hope many people will reach the top!”
[I officially participated in the barbarians’ coming-of-age ceremony.]
Difficulty: S
Victory Condition: At least two participants must cross the finish line. (However, to receive the best reward, first place must not be taken away.)
Reward: 5 Barbarian Juice (Strength stat +30). Final pass to the 31st floor.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
thud! thud! thud! thud!
When the test began, the warriors rushed forward like crazy.
The first test is crossing a river.
A torrent of incredible speed blocked everyone’s path.
[Reward for first-time passers: You can obtain the title ‘Brave Pioneer.’]
[Physical resistance increases by 10% only during the coming of age ceremony.]
but.
The barbarians in the lead jumped into the water without hesitation.
“A warrior overcomes with grit!”
“awesome!”
“You can’t lose!”
Of course, the guy who said that was the first to be swept away by the torrent and disappeared.
“Bah, heading to Valhall…” !”
“Kkuuk…” “Cluck, crack, crack!”
Those who were running behind also shared the same fate.
with a splash! with a plop!
After dozens more people disappeared, the number of barbarians jumping into the river decreased significantly.
For a moment, silence came over the exam.
“You can’t swim. The current is too strong here. “Even if you build something like a raft, it will sink in an instant.”
It was Cheon Yu-seong who suggested a new direction.
“You’re smart to notice that.”
“… “It wasn’t possible?”
“That number… .”
“Yes, actually, I knew it too. Unless you’re a fool, you don’t sail a boat on this river.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The warriors who were collecting wood pieces stopped.
“So, what on earth should I do?”
“You just have to run on water. “If you take the next step and the next step before you fall into the water, you can reach the end.”
“Well, is that possible?”
“If you are a true warrior, if you believe in your own two legs… possible. This must be a gateway to test your courage and faith. And all the glory will go to the warrior who crosses the river first.”
A true warrior.
The ripple effect caused by those words instantly made the hearts of the young warriors heat up.
“I am the true warrior.”
“My, I come first!”
“How dare you!”
Cheon Yu-seong, who persuaded the barbarians, glanced at the video communication.
“… “Is it okay to do it this way?”
“huh. Now, the children who are stimulated will rush in with ignorance.”
“What if I do that?”
“A path will appear where you can easily cross the river. Just aim for that time and cross.”
This river has one unique characteristic.
When the number of barbarians floating away exceeds a certain amount, stones appear on the surface of the river.
The intention is probably to teach a lesson that a warrior should be aware of the surrounding situation and be cautious, rather than just looking ahead and rushing in.
‘Well, since you don’t understand such profound meaning, this test may be the most difficult among barbarians.’
It is said that in the distant past, there were smart barbarians. It was probably a test created by the heads and elders who led the clan at the time.
Once again the barbarians jumped into the water.
“Cough!”
“genuine… .”
“I am a warrior!”
A true warrior is a piece of shit.
They are not Jesus Christ.
Unless you receive the protection of Eden, you will never be able to walk on water.
Even more barbarians than before disappeared downstream.
As the number of dropouts continued, there was a slight change in sleep.
Stones resembling turtles began to rise up.
Now!
“Cross!”
“shit. Goes!”
At Jinhyeok’s shout, Cheon Yoo-seong threw himself away.
A number of barbarians were already drowning in the water and struggling.
Now, you can take the lead right away.
however,
Things don’t go that smoothly in the world.
“Hey!”
The undine who came last lost her footing and was swept away by the current.
“Save me!”
“hand… Catch it!”
Cheon Yu-seong stretched out his hand. The remaining spirit beasts also moved to save their colleagues.
“Just go. Are you going to give up the first reward to save just one person?”
“Are you saying that?”
“Even Undine says she doesn’t want to be held back. “Are you really planning to make that noble cause go to waste?”
“No, I want to live… “Kyaaaah!”
The undine, unable to withstand it, was caught in the torrent and disappeared.
A sad sacrifice followed from the first test.
Still, since it is a water spirit, it should be able to survive somewhere under the waterfall.
… … maybe.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Afterwards, difficult tests continued.
Like climbing a cliff over 1km long.
Something like holding on to an eagle’s legs and crossing mountains.
And thanks to the struggle of Goinmul Corporation, which maintained the top rank at every gate, a strange sense of disharmony was formed among the elders.
This is because they did not know that they might be pushed out by outsiders at the coming of age ceremony where the tribe’s reputation was decided.
[Deaths: 0 / Injuries: 529]
[ranking]
1. Goinmul Corporation (obtain 13 rewards)
2. Brown Bear Tribe (Obtain 2 rewards)
3. Lizard Tail Tribe (obtain 1 reward)
4.… .
In the end, some tribes couldn’t stand it anymore and gave up the fight.
They agreed to first subdue the Goinmul Corporation through alliances with other tribes who preferred to die.
“It’s an emergency meeting.”
“We have to plot.”
“Everyone gather together. “You must never let that man find out.”
“Of course. “It is being carried out very secretly.”
If you look closely, you can see that he is wearing something similar to earplugs, one in each ear… .
It seemed like they believed that if they did that, their voices would not be heard well.
Sincerely.
Tsk tsk.
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue as he looked at the elders who were having a hard meeting.
I am able to be in the upper echelon thanks to my blessed body. It’s amazing how we live each day with that brain.
‘If I were in modern society, I would have been scammed 12 times more.’
You probably don’t even know you’ve been scammed.
Either way, the elders racked their brains and came up with a plan.
