Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 128

◈Episode 128 That’s enough (3)

【Hey, are you really okay with me coming like this?】

【It’s definitely rude to visit another tribe’s village without contacting them in advance… but since we’re allies, I think we can somehow get away with it. 】

【Are you really thinking about abandoning that alliance?】

【That can’t be helped. We were the ones who got hit in the back first.】

Not long after the bandits and fighters left, the Jatavs suddenly retreated. Thanks to this, they were able to head to Bigabol’s territory…

Now the White Wind was moving with the chieftain of Serhang.

【It’s nothing else, it’s a problem with San-gun.】

If it’s the cause, well. It could be said that the situation deepened after meeting with Sangun, whom White Wind asked about.

【If we were bluffing even though we couldn’t contact the swamp priest, we apologize to you, but it’s not good for us. But if you can really get in touch with them… Yes. As soon as it is caught, all the tribes of the Great Forest will point their swords at Bigabol. Since we have formed an alliance with them, there is a high possibility that our tribe will also suffer disaster. I have no intention of waiting for that.】

[I see. But it seems that meeting Sangun during the Katina period is such a sensitive issue?】

【Those who are chosen by Sangun will immediately rise to the position of warchief, regardless of the outcome of Katina.】

【If you are chosen by Sangun, you will actually be respected. Isn’t it necessary to do it?】

【Yes. That’s right. The tribes of the Great Forest also believed that way. However, 80 years ago, when he was not confident of winning in Katina, there was a person who became a warchief by recruiting the priests of the swamp and lying that he had been chosen by Sangunnim. It was a strategy that took advantage of the loophole that Sangunnim does not reveal himself easily.】

【Oh, so?】

【Yes. So since then, I have been dismissing it as a lie if Sangunnim did not reveal his choice in front of everyone. Naturally, the priests of the swamp also forbade contact to avoid suspicion.】

In that case, it is understandable that Chief Serhang is sensitive. White Wind pouted his lips, saying that they were a tribe with many different rules.

【Now, if you just go over this hill, you will see the village of Bigabol.】

【I see.】

But it seems strangely noisy…

White Wind felt himself slowly becoming out of breath and took his last steps. The other side of the hill slowly began to come into view.

【Fight?】

【…Oh my.】

I wondered why Jatav retreated, and I guess it was for this reason.

They clicked their tongues as they saw Jatav and Bigabol fighting. If things continue like this, you won’t be able to enter Bigabol’s area. No, even if it is there, you must not go in. You’ll get caught up in a fight.

【I have to go back】

“Wait a minute.”

At that time, the warrior who had been standing at the rear, encouraging the wizards’ energy, jumped forward. The hair that had slowly begun to cover my neck began to sway.

“I feel a curse.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go first!”

What on earth? Why suddenly? why?

White Wind blinked and urgently focused on his magic power. Although it is not a specialized field, the precision search magic that I have learned as a basic skill spreads energy in all directions.

“…It’s real!”

【What’s going on? I wonder if it’s okay to send that person away…】

“That’s not right now. 【That’s not the problem now! A curse occurred there!】”

As long as it is related to the devil, intervention cannot be avoided. White Wind screamed, asking why the incident was getting so big, and then hurriedly followed the hero.

【Now wait a minute.】

【What should we do, Chief?】

【…If it’s a curse, it must be related to the devil. There should be no devils in the forest under Sangunnim’s care. Let’s go!】

【Yes!!】

Serhan’s people also followed them without knowing what was going on. It was the moment when a three-way meeting between the three tribes suddenly came to fruition.

* * *

【Please save me!!】

【It’s a curse! It’s a curse!!】

【Jatav, what on earth have you brought with you!!】

【Death is approaching!!】

【Commander Ji! Commander, please save me!】

【What is it? What on earth did these strangers give you—!】

Dev had a natural talent for killing people, so he just thought of using that to free the hostages.

But how did things come to this?

I saw black water starting to spread in the middle of the village. It smelled of death and decay.

My right arm is itchy.

【Get back, get back now!】

“Run away!”

This cannot be ignored. I jumped into the midst of those dying helplessly. In my experience, it was okay as long as it only touched bare skin, so there was no hesitation.

【Aaaah!】

Whiik!

I rescued people from the rapidly spreading black water. More precisely, they grabbed people who were about to be swallowed and threw them back.

“Build a wall, wizard!”

“Earth, rise and solidify.”

Is the Archmage better suited to be a supporter than a dealer? In any case, the black water was blocked by the rising earthen wall. I continued to pass people by after that.

Bigabol Jatav. There was no need to distinguish between affiliations. Fighting is meaningless in the face of this plague.

【Ah, children!】

Oh shit.

My eyes widened as I saw the water rushing to the place where the children were held hostage. The children hanging are better, but the problem is the children huddled together and kneeling on the floor.

With all the power I had and the skills I had at my disposal, there was not a single way to safely rescue them all.

“Oh God!!”

shit. In that case, as many children as I can carry─.

“Destroy injustice!!”

In an instant, a huge storm of light struck down. Even though my HP was high, I started laughing for no reason.

“It’s pretty good.”

“…! Demon knight!”

Ouch! Is it true that we are timing our dumplings right? As expected, a warrior! Our dumplings are the best!!

I glanced at their flushed cheeks and tore the straps that bound the children.

The cubs who were watching the children had run away early, so there was no disturbance.

“Save the other kids too.”

【Thank you.】

I held out the dagger to the children and pointed to the hanging children. The children raised an exclamation point at the simple but clear expression of intent, then quickly nodded.

It seems like they have caught on.

“hot! Rather, a demon knight. “Why the curse…”

is this what I should do?

I thought deeply about the Inquisitor’s question. Well, that’s fine. I saw what the Jatav guys threw, but I don’t really know why they have it. That thought was a bonus.

First, understand the situation. I took a quick look at the semi-forced lull in the situation.

Many of the Bigabols suffered direct hits, but Jatav also suffered considerable damage. Most of the warriors they were clashing with were either dead or suffering from curses.

Since the Inquisitor is coloring the surroundings with divine power, he will no longer die, but it is obvious that he will suffer from pain until he is completely healed.

“Who threw it?”

However, they brought this upon themselves. Of course, I don’t think the subordinates knew about the effect, but…

are they kids? Nope. Why should I sympathize with the deaths of adults who went to war, especially those who went to war?

You can feel sorry about death. But right now, the people I need to pity the most are the innocent people who were almost sacrificed.

“I asked who it was…!”

What’s more, cursed items related to the devil have appeared on the market, right? Concept You can never control your temper, right?

These guys are really diverse. Is it true that one side abandoned humanity and the other joined hands with a man who abandoned humanity? Is it true that people like that are the ones most likely to be chosen as the next warchief?

I’m just disillusioned.

【What on earth is going on?】

Meanwhile, another force was added. I raised my eyebrows after checking the Mage Tower people and Chief Serhang who were rushing through the gap in the wall.

“What on earth is going on?”

The white wind came rushing towards me, holding on to my hat so that it wouldn’t fly backwards. It was a bonus to cover my mouth when I saw the messy situation.

“I want to take one as a test subject. “It won’t work, right?”

…Let’s just pretend that the statement just didn’t happen.

【You…!】

【Chief Serhang! Welcome! As an ally, please help…!】

Atart, who was reorganizing the front line after deploying the warriors behind, urgently shouted. The chief of Serhang glanced at Atart and his face hardened.

It was an expression I often made when I met someone I didn’t want to meet. So, that facial expression where you’re smiling on the outside but throwing an ‘X’ with the hand that’s holding your back.

【I did not come here as an ally. After hearing from a customer that demonic energy had been observed, I volunteered to be a guide to solve the problem.】

【That’s right! That’s it! Jatav did it!】

【That’s true─.】

Kugugugugung!!

But how many words were exchanged between Atart and Chief Serhang? Out of nowhere, the ground shook.

“What?”

The Inquisitor looks a little surprised, but I’m just like that. Something must have happened once or twice after coming to this area.

At this point, I don’t even feel embarrassed. I’m just curious how many surprise events will happen.

【Sangun!】

Let’s correct it. surprised. Jormungand is in the sky.

【Sasangun…!】

I slightly opened my eyes as I saw the white snake in the sky. It’s not scary because it has round eyes that are typical of snakes, but they’re too big!!

It’s not a king snake, it’s not a waaaaang snake, it’s just a giant snake!

[Come on. These guys are crazy.]

At that time, the snake’s mouth opened slightly and a sound like a boat horn rang out. Somehow, it was a sound that really caught my ear.

[It’s not like we’re just living in the forest. Why are you committing suicide in my forest? If you’re going to die, don’t involve others and just die on your own.]

But why does the pronunciation seem to be subtly savory…?

[Ah.]

At that time, the snake’s eyes met mine. The snake’s eyes blinked twice and then subtly rolled its gaze.

[Perhaps those bastards made you feel uncomfortable… or that’s why you got angry…]

Wait a minute. Why are you being so polite with someone that big?

[I will apologize on your behalf, so please leave the forest alone…]

…I don’t think I did anything special, but why do I feel like a gangster?? hey???

【Sangun-nim is coming! Everyone, please be polite!】

At that time, a snake… or a lizard? Those riding the horse climbed over the walls and buildings and rushed to the seat. Since their attire was exactly that of priests, it was not difficult to identify them.

There’s no way that big snake is an ordinary creature, but seeing that the people around it immediately bowed their heads as soon as it appeared, it must be a ‘Sangun’… That means those priests are the priests of the swamp who serve the Sangun.

【Sangun!】

【Sangun!】

【Please forgive me!】

【The judgment of the forest!】

It was a snake that was truly revered. Serhan, Jatav, and Bigabol bowed loudly as if they had forgotten everything about the situation just now and addressed Wang Baem.

【That way! Say yes right away!】

[Are you crazy? The one who will fall flat is not him, but you. Quickly, be polite.]

【…I am meeting the person whom Sangunnim has approved!】

Meanwhile, Tallulah, the priests of the swamp, arrive. Suddenly, I received a deep bow from the priests.

The Inquisitor, who was right behind me but couldn’t understand what was going on around him just like me, also bowed.

“That demon knight. How are things going?”

That’s right… I want to know too…

[…You’re not angry, right?]

“…Are you kidding me?”

[Hey, you must be really angry. Anyway, because of these scoundrels…]

Sangun scratched the top of his head with the tip of his tail. “Demon knight? “Did you tell me?” The Inquisitor looked at me and tilted his head as if he couldn’t hear me.

[Let’s look at it just once. Just once. I will definitely educate you.]

How should we really react in cases like this? Sometimes there were confusing sections when deciding on the direction of the concept, but there was no place as conflicting as this one. I was sweating profusely and shaking my head as much as I could.

【Sangun!】

Funnily enough, the person who saved me was Atart, who I wanted to get rid of.

【Jatav dared to bring the devil’s goods into this land! Give them a just verdict! Please pass judgment on me!!】

[What is this bastard?]

The snake’s gaze returned to that direction. Where did the thing that puzzled me just a moment ago go? The golden eyes looking down at Atart are extremely cool.

【Sangun!!】

[Ah, it’s so damned, so damned. Huh. He doesn’t even think about Ji’s mistake and just whines and asks others to be judged first.]

In the meantime, I can hear Sangun’s words, so I can guess what Atart was saying. Jatav was roughly at fault. Please punish me. Isn’t this a whining thing?

[okay. Well, it’s not wrong… Font? Catch it. Jatav kids, let’s do an inspection today.]

【Sangun gave an order. The Jatav tribe will have to prove their faithfulness to the forest.】

[And tell the Bigabol children to stand by as well. If something goes wrong, the forest would have been destroyed today.]

【…The Bigbol tribe will not be able to avoid judgment either.】

【Wait a minute, why!】

【That is the will of the Lord of the Mountains.】

Anyway, the snake killed Bigabol and Jatav. We rolled it up and ate it at the same time. With that, those two tribes will not be able to avoid punishment.

If it’s true that the snake is watching me… then it probably won’t be a mild punishment.

[And…]

Sangun scanned the ground with his golden eyes and immediately stopped on one place.

[That kid is smart, doesn’t disobey customers and does a good job. Let’s make him the next great chief.]

【…Ekua, the chief of Serhang!】

【Yes, those who follow Sangun’s will.】

【Sangun has chosen you as the next great chieftain. Please, I ask for a glorious reign for this forest.】

【… That’s a presumptuous question, but is it true that Sangun-nim singled out me?】 【

Yes.】

【Wait a minute, this is unfair!】

【Big Ball Chief Atart! How dare you doubt Sangun-nim’s will!】

Now, it seems like the warchief who was supposed to be chosen by Katina or something has been chosen with great success. Is it because of his mood?

【I can’t accept it!】

【How dare you!!】

[Wow, that guy is funny.]

The situation suddenly became interesting. There will be no more people dying. The snake will solve everything.

I watched the destruction of Atart while acting angry and chewing popcorn. Just by looking at that guy’s face, you can see that his life is ruined.

【The position of warchief must go to the person who deserves it—!】

But the greater fun was right after that.

Sigh!

【─! A priest or something!】

The white chains tried to restrain Atart. Atart narrowly escaped the chain, but it was a huge halberd that rushed at him right away.

“Hahaha! You are the strongest warrior?! “Let’s fight Berserk!”

Halberd grabbed Atart’s four arms. This is because you can only block it by raising your guard with all four arms, and doing so gives you the strength to block it.

【What about you!】

“What the heck.”

And when Attart used all his arms like that.

“I’m taking the child.”

A figure that I hadn’t even noticed intercepted the child from Atart’s remaining hand. It was the best sum.

“I.”

At the same time, an opportunity came back to me.

“I should have told you.”

Anyway, if the child wasn’t in Atart’s hands, there was no reason why I couldn’t aim my sword at him. The remaining hostages had already been released.

“The lives of your children are your lives.”

【…!!】

“Huh, wait a minute, he’s Berserk’s prey─.”

Suddenly!

So I went to Atart’s side at once. A single sword strike leaves a trace in the air, and all three of his right arms fall off.

【Whoosh!】

I didn’t give Atart any commands to the people around him or give them time to react first.

Before his body lost its balance, he stepped on his chest with his foot and at the same time his body hit the floor, he cut his shoulder with a knife.

“I’ll send you to hell.”

Cider wasn’t far away.
