Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 103

◈Episode 103 Existence (5)

[Ah.]

Wouldn’t it be better to leave that devil behind and go somewhere else? If the Inquisitor doesn’t come, maybe I should go there first.

Just as that thought occurred to me, Duke turned his head. Duke’s gaze is directed towards the downtown area where a fight appears to be taking place.

[I can’t play with you anymore.]

Play? Play?

Of course, from the Duke’s point of view, he was just watching my rampage, so it wouldn’t be strange to say it was just a game, but it’s so obnoxious. It’s so disgusting that I’m dying.

I can’t get angry for fear of getting angry, but it’s really shameful!

“What a mess…!”

[It seems like the limit of dreaming allowed by the sacrifice has been reached… Ha. As expected, it’s just nagging and he doesn’t come forward. what’s this. I lost a lot of the demons I had been collecting for decades.]

Since I was in a dream, the demons I had collected were some important clues, but I was angry about something else.

[I guess I’ll lose too much to descend to the main body, right? okay. Still, the love of the dragon is not compatible, but even Gretchen is like this, so what’s the use of descending? It’s better to be nagged.]

You, you. This time I ended up not being able to do any damage due to the event, but next time will be different.

No matter if you hid the body or something else, the moment the invincibility buff is released in the story, you really…!

[No, maybe it would be better now that progress has been blocked? As the wires become wider, there are only more areas to worry about. Maintaining the status quo is probably not the best option. Yep. The humans will not stop struggling just because the front line is widening.]

I swung my sword again. Although he had continued to swing the sword until now, it was now a sword that contained even more magical power.

Sigh.

The sound of metal screeching faintly rang in my ears and the sword flew out.

[Now, please convey to the commander exactly what you overheard. huh? I’m in a good state right now, so let’s just leave it like this. By the way, why don’t you let Gretchen go? That’s how I buy noodles.]

“This trash—.”

[I like being able to sit here and you can stop me. It’s a win-win for both.]

Come on!

As expected, it didn’t work. I twisted my face as the fog began to disperse.

It was the same even though I could see through the fog the remains of the demons that had been cut down by my angry slashes.

[Understand? I must tell you this.]

If it weren’t for that guy, there were so many people that the devil I could have killed could have saved…! Since there is no evasion roll, it is not possible to indicate weakness through evasion and counterattack, really!

Sigh!

I swung my sword again at the powder that was slowly melting into the air. Of course it didn’t work.

Finally, the black powder fog completely disappeared from my sight.

Clink.

At the same time, there was a sound of something breaking.

“What a mess…!”

Well, it sounded a bit serious, but since the sword wasn’t broken, we can check later.

With that thought in mind, I looked around some more.

The result was the same. There was only me, with my mind in tatters, and the battle on the walls that was almost over, the defensive battle still fierce in the city.

Duke you bastard. It really jumped out…!

“Damn it…!”

As soon as the Duke disappeared, I gnashed my teeth at the gargoyles that rushed at me.

I was even more annoyed that I didn’t even have the mana to run to the city center after using up so much mana for the last attack. Also, I can’t even get angry properly for fear of activating my anger skill!

“Aaaah!”

“Please save me!”

“Hold on!”

But I’m really angry.

Because almost the end doesn’t mean it’s really over.

Because there are still people fighting the devil.

I clenched my teeth and killed the demons on the castle wall.

Not only did I not have the magic power to go to the city center, but the two sand tigers that were the most problematic were already dead. I don’t know who killed him, but I thought it would be okay to worry about this first.

“Get out of the way!”

“…!”

The fight that had stopped for a while began again.

It was after the battle on the castle wall was settled that I realized that Kankan and Dev had disappeared somewhere, that the Inquisitor had not come to save me for no reason, and that the last thing that had been broken was the seal on my forearm.

* * *

Meanwhile, while the Demon Knight was still fighting the Great Devil, Deathbringer saw the castle wall filled with black fog and tried to run.

Even if he joins, the safety of the Demon Knight will not improve, but if he does not, wouldn’t it be okay to call someone who can help, whether it’s an Inquisitor or a Magistrate.

However, the moment he was about to leave, something happening behind him stopped him.

Even if we leave aside the fact that demons are the ones he cannot fight against, the fight between Kankan and King Mu was too one-sided. Just like in the arena.

“You can’t do this!”

“Damn it.”

Deathbringer saw Kankan already bleeding after splitting a few sums.

If things continued like this, it was clear that Kankan would be killed before he even reached the castle.

And King Mu, now free, will slaughter those who went out to hunt sand tigers. I don’t know what tactics were used, but the traitors, including King Mu, have escaped the devil’s target.

Also, as long as those standing in their way are gone, the sand tigers will head straight for refuge… In that case, even if the front lines survive, the city will inevitably collapse.

Although the soldiers and fighters and adventurers stood on the front lines, the driving force that maintained the city were the citizens.

Those who betrayed? At the point when the front line collapsed, they played their role well. I don’t know what kind of deal they made with the devils, but they must have left at least an escape route open.

This means that they will shamelessly live on after destroying a city.

I just can’t stand it.

The Deathbringer chewed his teeth as he plunged the blade into the mouth of the intestine worm that was charging at him.

He hated the wicked who survived without being judged the most.

“Can you hold on? “I believe we can endure.”

The demon knight… will be fine. Because of what happened in the past, I realized that he was just a human being, but now there is no other way. I had to believe in his tenacity.

Or, I believe there is a possibility that the Heretic Inquisitor or Archmage noticed the abnormality and went to help.

“I will kill just one person and then go.”

So he picked up a bottle and a sword. Additionally, breathing stopped and the body was hidden in the shade.

Even when Kankan gets one of his arms cut off, even when the fighters who attacked on Kankan’s behalf are killed by King Mu, even when a devil rises up in the space right next to him, even when a sand tiger destroys the building next to where he was.

Thus, when his image melted into his surroundings and he existed not as a person but as a mere shadow.

And the moment when Kankan clashed swords with King Mu with all the strength he could muster.

He stepped out of the shadows. Even though there was no light flowing, the blade with something on it stabbed King Mu in the back.

“Sigh!”

Due to the height difference, they went up diagonally, but that was actually better. He used his hands as best as he could to get the knife past the liver and into the lung.

The blade, which expertly avoided the ribs, cut into the flesh and came out twisted. It was a persistent blow aimed at taking the opponent’s life until the very end.

“This breath.”

Then, instead of the sound of words, only a groaning sound that sounded like the sound of the wind being knocked out came from above. It was proof that it had been stabbed properly.

“damage!”

“…!”

But even after doing this, it seems like I still have some energy left. King Mu exchanged swords with Kankan while slightly twisting his pelvis and swinging his hand backwards.

Instead of getting my body together, I tried to catch the beast. Kankan noticed it and screamed.

bang!

I tried to pull away, but it was too late. King Mu’s arm struck him in the chest. The dull impact made my body roll.

“Tsk.”

Will my body, which has spun around on a floor full of broken building pieces and sand, manage to regain its balance? He grabbed the area where he had been hit.

“…Aren’t you fucking cracked ribs?”

He prepared to withdraw his body regardless of whether the attack was successful or not, and actually moved immediately after drawing the sword, but he managed to strike with it. I don’t know if it’s anger or venom.

Seeing how painful it is even if it misses, it seems like at least the monster was hit by force.

“die!”

Fortunately, Kankan gave him time to collect himself. It was a fierce attack on King Mu, whose major organs were stabbed.

The thought that there would be no more opportunities if I missed this gap also seemed to have had quite an impact.

“I should have told you not to disturb me!”

But King Mu was King Mu. I don’t know what I did, but I regained my breath and brought my swords together. He was an extremely disgusting man.

Or did you make a deal with the devil and receive some related benefits? Otherwise, a human wouldn’t be able to act like that even after being stabbed in the intestines.

“I won’t fall until I stop you!”

It’s actually quite disgusting, but it’s not easy.

He’s having such a hard time with just one missed blow, but aren’t those people continuing to fight even after having their arms cut off and their internal organs stabbed?

Even though they are both magic users, it is a bit too much. Are there different races?

“Just take your time, Red Mane Sari!”

Well, even if it’s really different, it doesn’t really matter. Unless the flesh is made of steel, the poison will work.

He threw several daggers instead of dirty swords.

Once they’ve launched a sneak attack, they won’t give up an opportunity easily. Rather than waiting for that, I was planning on giggling and interrupting.

“You rat!”

As expected, King Mu easily shook off Kankan and defeated all the daggers. It was none of my business.

“Did you know that the rat had poison on its claws?”

The place where the poison was applied was not the dagger, but the sword used for the sneak attack.

“It’s a poison obtained from a monitor lizard in the Great Forest of Chiria, but I don’t know if you know.”

“…!”

There are not many types of poison that act all at once. Considering that the opponent uses magic power, it might take a little longer.

But that too will end someday. Although it is not the most expensive poison, it is also a poison that causes 100 out of 10 deaths if used once.

“In one hour, half of the intestines will melt, and in a day it will turn into mushy mushy meat. “The blood vessels will melt, bleeding will intensify, and muscle tissue and flesh will slowly rot away.”

“…!”

“In other words, you are X. “You son of a bitch.”

It is only a question of when he will die, but King Mu will surely die.

“You bird—cough!”

He threw the dagger as he watched King Mu spit out blood. Even at this moment, he was a truly venomous and amazing person who struck down the dagger and blocked Kankan, who was looking for an opportunity.

“Do you think I’m going to die like this?”

Even though my head is spinning from internal bleeding, how about strong legs? The line of life was really thick. Even though he is a human being who is not worth living.

“I am not dying. “Never die!”

“What is he saying now. Just kill me…”

Deathbringer’s eyes widened for a moment. This is because I saw King Mu swallowing something.

“I didn’t want to write here, but…!”

Then, something similar to the black air current seen on the castle wall began to flow from King Mu.

It didn’t just flow out, it seemed to be absorbed into the floor.

“You guys can’t take me down from this place!”

It even has a certain shape.

“I won’t lose…!”

arena? No, it wasn’t. Although it was in the form of an arena, it was different from the arenas in this city.

“This is…”

“…?”

“In your hometown…?”

The somewhat primitive form of the arena provides some clues when mixed with Kankan’s words. The only important thing is why it was created here and by what principle.

『Loser.』

“That is…!”

That Inyoung, standing at the center of the newly created stage and mulling over words, is also there.

“I won’t lose—!”

King Mu shouted loudly. Then the seal broke apart.

The face, which had been slowly dying from poison, was also regaining its color through some kind of harmony. It was like a ghost crying.

“Kill!”

Good!

To make matters worse, he started using demons. Thanks to King Mu’s presence, demons that had not come near him began to fly towards him.

“I’m just going to die…!”

“damage!”

“Just avoid me. “Now I have no choice!”

“I’ll take my time, so run away!”

It’s a waste of time, and even if both arms are intact, it’s not time to stop.

Also, even if you gain time, it is still a problem. Is there any point in buying time when the devils are openly targeting them? Can he really run away?

“Ah!”

I don’t know. If King Mu had been the opponent, there would have been at least a chance.

bang!

Still, moving is better for your life than not moving. The Deathbringer rolled over to avoid the approaching gargoyle.

The pouring flames scorched the ground and burned the hem of the cloak and the tip of the tail sticking out through it, but at least he escaped being roasted.

Squeak.

Wow!

…But that does not mean that the danger has all disappeared.

“Ahh!”

He stepped on the debris of the broken building and climbed onto the pile. This is because intestinal worms can penetrate most types of soil, but they take a long time to penetrate rocks and cannot penetrate iron at all.

Of course, if this happened, the flying demon would try to target them. But can’t they at least be seen and avoided?

It might be a bit too much for the three of us to attack each other.

“Hey, get out of there!!”

“crazy! “Why are you dragging that thing here!”

“King Mu should be crushed to death too!”

“Are you going to get crushed to death?”

Even a sand tiger that went that way came back this way, destroying buildings.

The words they were shouting couldn’t have been sincere, and while those who failed to catch the sand tiger were scattering, it seems that attention was drawn to those who were running away in this direction.

“Damn it!”

King Mu’s death is confirmed, so I tried to save Kankan’s life, but this is what happened.

In any case, things like devils are no match for him. It’s too advantageous to create variables, but even his last move is destroyed like this.

Deathbringer clicked his tongue and tried to find a way.

Interfering with that fight and running away with Kankan wrapped around him is dismissed. It is completely impossible for him to move quickly while carrying that big person. There was no way King Mu would let me go in the first place.

So how to get rid of the sand tiger? how? Even if you believe in the sword’s performance and stab it, I think it would be like a thorn sticking out of your hand if it was that big.

“I want to stop letting my colleagues die…!”

if.

Should I stab King Mu again?

“That’s a good attitude.”

In an instant, the head of the demon that was following him was shattered and scattered in all directions. As always, the shadow on the street is so large that it is hard to believe that it is from the Sland tribe.

“I came here to have a conversation, but given the situation, that might be difficult. Now that I’ve stepped forward, it seems like they’re in too much of a hurry. So, why don’t you kill that thing?”

“You…”

Deathbringer licked his lips at the person standing in front of him.

This is because I felt a vague sense of déjà vu as I saw this person soaked in blood, as if he had already been through a fierce battle, and the corpse of a sand tiger visible beyond.

“In return, I will keep the demons from interfering with you and keep that human’s attention elsewhere. Is it possible?”

“…They feed you everything, but if you can’t eat it, you have to go out, damn it.”

But there is no time to find that déjà vu. He said whether it was possible or not before understanding the situation.

The subject grinned. It was an elegant smile, like a magnolia welcoming spring.

“great.”

And soon the nature of that smile changed.

As if starting a performance with a single beat or as if announcing a change of stage with a single hand clap.

The crescent-moon-like eyes open fiercely, and the soft, curved lips open wide, changing into a shape befitting a bright light.

“Then Berserk will kill all those demon bastards!”

The hand that was not holding the halberd grabbed the chin of the gargoyle that had just flown by and threw it to the floor.

The voice that bounced around the surroundings along with the crushed flesh also reached someone who was clutching Kankan’s neck.

“So show that loser what to do! You are still a loser and you will always be a loser!”
