Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 172

Episode 172 Next (5)

Pandemonium forced the corners of his mouth up in goosebumps. Biryuho’s death after eating Moby Dick? That’s so obvious that it’s not surprising.

However, what surprised him was the power shown by the vessel of anger.

[I thought I would at least join forces with the hero…]

What is that? In fact, isn’t it no different from catching it alone?

[I don’t know if it’s a good thing.]

It has been proven that even the power of the spirit beast that consumed the power of the Great Devil cannot defeat Grethen. Still, is it right to take the risk and steal it?

“Will I get bitten?”

[No.]

The correct answer is ‘correct’. If something that became stronger was no match for him, he who was weaker than that would definitely be killed without even being able to resist.

[Starts.]

I don’t even hope for the power to win. So, I hope that I can at least get away with it the next time we face each other.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Right next to Pandemonium, humans dragged numerous boxes and spilled their contents on the floor. Countless precious stones, gold and silver, poured down on the ground.

And they melt at once and become one lava.

[Because it will be different next time!]

A huge hand rose from the lava and attacked the humans who were collecting Biryuho’s body.

* * *

I wonder if the demon knight suddenly fell and lost his spirit. The incident did not stop there.

A huge hand of fire appeared and crushed them.

The extremely heavy lava pours over the membrane she urgently created, adding to the burden.

“What!”

Moreover, it was not possible to hastily declare sanctuary due to the devil knight. If he had already collapsed from poisoning, if he used more divine power here, his life would be in danger.

“Are you an evil devil?…”

“Don’t move!”

“Archmage!”

“Almost done!”

Fortunately, the membrane that will filter the divine power is almost complete. The Inquisitor tried to gauge how far he could squeeze out the power he had been suppressing.

“come!”

It was then that Berserk, who was sitting with a sour expression on his face, reacted. The Inquisitor, sensing the approaching injustice, also widened his eyes.

Clink!

“…!”

One step too late. The golden membrane shattered, dropping the lava it was blocking.

“Oh God!”

Something unclean invaded, but priorities were pushed back a little. Even if she didn’t know it, if she got swept up in that lava, it was obvious that others would die, so it was natural.

Therefore, the Inquisitor focused on creating a new barrier rather than dealing with the intruders.

Although the floor height was lower than before, the divine power barrier succeeded in blocking the lava again.

“Where! Berserk protects this place!”

Meanwhile, Berserk was engaged in battle with the intruder who broke through the lava.

I wondered how they would fight with a long weapon like a halberd in such a small space, but Berserk’s skills were truly outstanding. She somehow managed to stop the enemy.

“The devil…!”

“Have you decided to die?”

It’s a bonus that the demon knight tried to get up but fell to his knees and coughed up blood.

[It’s quite a human theme. But even so, it’s still at human level.]

“Huh!”

[That’s not enough?]

“…!”

On the other hand, Berserk continued to fight steadily.

However, at the end of the battle, Berserk slipped after being hit by an opponent’s kick.

Berserk, who had overcome the impact with great strength, was about to run away again when the floor in front of her broke apart and spewed out lava.

Berserk’s steps stopped slightly.

“I have to step in…!”

“The Inquisitor is done!”

Fortunately, the Archmage succeeded in completing the shield at the same time.

At that moment, a sparkle appeared in the Inquisitor’s eyes.

“…Don’t worry about me!”

“I’m sorry, Demon Knight!”

Just in time, permission was given.

The Inquisitor decided to forget for a moment that the Demon Knight could get hurt. I couldn’t miss the demon of denial comparable to Moby Dick.

“God, please hear my prayer!”

The brilliance of God fell on this land, burning the lava and purifying the uncleanness.

Pow!

Then the hand part of the arm that was pressing them was completely blown away. I still have some forearms left, but it doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t weigh them down.

[Tch!]

However, although the intruder may have been shocked, he did not stop moving.

The opponent quickly kicked the ground, shaking off the Berserk that had caught up with him again.

In one hand of the intruder, Biryuho’s body is held, and in the other hand, negativity is temporarily gathered to deal with Berserk and break the golden membrane.

“Where!”

Can’t miss it. Just as the golden curtain broke, she ran towards it and created another huge curtain.

It was an application that I realized when the opponent was trying to break the curtain to get out.

Preventing people from coming in from the outside can also prevent them from getting out from the inside.

“I won’t miss it!”

[Ho.]

He then runs to Berserk’s side and raises his mace. The Inquisitor’s green eyes looked at the other person.

What appears to be a woman with purple hair is gathering negativity in her hands.

[Clumsy.]

However, that denial wasn’t aimed at her or Berserk.

“oh!”

What the intruder was targeting were the Archmage and the Demon Knight.

“no!”

She quickly blocked the attack. Did that make him stop walking for a moment? Cough! The enemy who received Berserk’s attack grinned.

bang!

“Wow!”

It was not the lava that was ejected, but the lava that was made to erupt from the ground, which pierced the Archmage’s protective shield.

The Archmage hurriedly summoned water to block it, but its role was already over.

The moment the shield was shattered, the devil knight was overwhelmed with divine power. The Inquisitor’s instincts reflexively tried to withdraw that power.

“I told you not to worry!”

The evil knight with poisonous eyes raised the two-hender he was using to support his body.

“what!”

The mighty demon energy shot out like a flash and struck the intruder in the shoulder. The impact caused the torso of the corpse, which the intruder was barely holding, to fall.

[Cough!]

“Cough!”

But that attack was it. Is it because of overdoing it or is it because I am being attacked by divine power? The demon knight completely collapsed, bleeding out.

The Inquisitor had no choice but to withdraw his strength from that sight.

There was nothing I could do because the demon knight, who was bleeding from every hole in his body, looked like he was going to die at any moment.

[You’re young. If it were me, I wouldn’t have stopped.]

But that action was a decisive defeat.

The opponent who poured lava on Berserk broke the curtain and ran to the back. The lava pouring from above has been purified and disappeared, so there is no need to worry about your life, but all means of capturing the opponent have disappeared.

“Where!”

At least Berserk was able to chase his opponent by covering him with lava. However, it appears that the intruder was well prepared.

In the path where the opponents were escaping, there were three hands of fire that were pressing down on them earlier.

Hands made of lava blocked Berserk. Although Berserk is the type of person who fights while taking considerable damage, it was a situation that even she could not easily pass by.

Meanwhile, the intruder got further and further away.

Luckily, no one died, but parts of Biryuho’s body were taken. Also, the side of the head that contained more demon energy.

“Berserk you!”

“shit! “I missed it!”

Berserk attempted to chase several more times and eventually lost sight of his opponent. It was natural to vent anger at the person who had escaped.

However, lava had splashed all over one arm, shoulder, thigh, and part of her face, and her skin was starting to cook. Despite this, Berserk did not complain of pain even once. I guess having lava splashed on her body means nothing to her.

The Inquisitor and Archmage, who had not even been hit by the lava, became even more shocked.

“Chi treatment.”

I can’t help but miss it. Can not help it.

As she reflected on that, she grabbed Berserk with trembling hands and treated his wounds. The heat eased and the burned flesh rose.

Once the treatment was over, her eyes naturally turned to her surroundings.

“Cough.”

I could see the hand of fire and the lava flowing out from it, splashing fire in all directions.

The current forest has been poisoned by the corruption of Lake Biryu, and it is burning.

“If this happens…!”

If you do not burn it with the sacred flame, the poison will spread everywhere. And that poison will reach nearby Ednium and Camborough.

Maybe we’ll even reach the great forest that stretches thinly along the mountain range.

“I will purify it.”

If they go there like this, they will die from suffocation, not from poison, but from smoke. In the end, neither side can stand by and watch.

She closed her eyes tightly, looking at the demon knight who was bleeding even at this moment. Divine power began to protect them and suppress the evil sparks.

The fire and poison slowly subsided.

“That thing just now… must be the devil, after all.”

“Shit shit!”

Did the Archmage form a new protective shield, free the Demon Knight’s breathing, and use healing magic to revive him?

The Archmage defined the events that had just occurred. Honestly, there was no need for any big guesses.

The opponent was clearly a demon of a similar level to Moby Dick, and its target was Biryuho’s body.

“It’s fortunate that no one died. “It’s also true that not everything was taken away.”

The Archmage is right. It was obviously fortunate that there were no deaths.

Even if it had run into Berserk or the Inquisitor, it would have been fine, but if it had decided to target the Demon Knight, he would have died.

“…It may have been kept alive on purpose.”

“What is that…”

“If you think about it calmly, if the Demon Knight dies, doesn’t the shackles that limit you, Inquisitor, disappear?”

“…!”

…So is that what the intruder said? You’re not going to stop? They would have exchanged the demon knight’s life for the intruder’s life?

No, maybe it’s not an exchange. The great devil resides in the body of a demon knight.

Isn’t that forcibly taking on the life of a demon knight? If that’s a move…

“Are you feeling okay?”

“…I’m fine.”

“Don’t be too angry. “It’s not your fault you missed it.”

“Berserk is angry because of that…!”

What if you wrote it? Is there any way she could take such a gamble?

In the first place, the devil is not a being that can be trusted. She didn’t regret her choice.

I didn’t regret it.

I don’t regret it.

I don’t regret it…

“It’s done.”

The Inquisitor gritted his teeth as he watched Berserk collapse.

“Let’s go back first. “We can’t leave the demon knight like this…”

Yes, it’s not Berserk’s fault that the demon was missed.

It is the Inquisitor’s responsibility and no one else’s.

“I…”

“…?”

But how can this be? It wasn’t like my body was overloaded after using my divine power excessively like last time, and I definitely had some energy left.

How could she miss her enemy?

How could she, who is responsible for punishing all demons, do that?

“I…”

That is completely unforgivable.

This is her incompetence.

“Hey, what’s going on!”

It was a shame that could not be washed away.

“Oh you!”

“I came here because I suddenly saw smoke rising. What is this? “Why is everything so burnt??”

“That’s good. There are wizards who are good at healing magic and experts at poison… “No, you can do it yourself.”

“yes?”

The Inquisitor’s vision inadvertently blurred due to the rising emotions.

Crying doesn’t help anything. I knew that, but I was so angry that I couldn’t bear it.

It was heartbreaking to see that the demon knight lost the person he tried to catch despite the pain, even though he had no ability to heal the demon knight who had collapsed from poison.

“This… fuck! It’s a bleeding poison! “When did you get bitten by a snake?!”

“I haven’t seen any bites in particular, but….”

“It’s probably because of the white snake magpie flower that the tiger bloomed. Berserk I’ve seen that before. “A lot of people died in my hometown because of that flower.”

“White snake magpie flower? Crazy crazy.”

What’s more, unlike her, who just ruined everything, Tjaenjil quickly drew results and started taking appropriate measures.

“If only I hadn’t found the antidote in the damned knight Nari’s Great Forest… Really…”

In the dry air and the sticky wait like a swamp, Pteungjil moved his hands diligently.

The method involved feeding the patient something through the mouth and injecting something into the forearm and leg.

“…That’s Okay. Use healing magic quickly. “There’s a high chance that the blood will accumulate and cause blisters, but that can be done with magic.”

“…Is he alive?”

“The antitoxin was administered in less than 30 minutes, so he will probably survive. Although it may be difficult to treat, it is not a poison that kills quickly. “On top of that, Knight Nari is not an ordinary person… If you add healing magic, dying will be even more difficult.”

And finally it came to a conclusion. The demon knight will live.

Although there was nothing she could do.

“Rather than that, try putting away some of your divine power. “The driver, Nari, doesn’t say anything, but honestly, I don’t think it would be a good idea… Saenim?”

That cruelty brought out tears like chicken droppings.

“I am…”

“Inquisitor?”

“What are you crying about?”

“I am incompetent….”

This wasn’t the only problem.

The guilt of having to evacuate first at the end when defeating Moby Dick.

The helplessness of not being able to do anything to persuade people about the subjugation of Lake Biryu.

The devastation of not being able to be of any help due to his sluggishness at the beginning of this subjugation, and the reality that although he was stopped by Berserk, he could not help in the final fight due to compatibility issues.

Or, it may be that all the feelings of inferiority and perceived lack of ability that have been building up from before are buried there.

Although it’s not that important now that I’m so sad.

“I am not worthy of being a warrior…”

Sorrow came over her like a fever and squeezed her tear ducts.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Inquisitor, if what happened just now, isn’t that unexpected for everyone? “Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

“Priest, don’t cry.”

The companions tried to comfort her, but it didn’t do much. Because this is what I have always heard.

But I can’t tell if that’s the truth or just empty words to comfort her.

To her, it seemed closer to the latter than the former.

“I am not qualified….”

“Inquisitor….” I

would rather receive a harsh reprimand and point out that I am not qualified to cry like when I asked to learn from the temple. If that happens, I might be able to hold back my tears.

However, both Archmage and Berserk were too friendly, which was a problem. She became more saddened by that kindness.

“Something like me…”

“What the fuck are you saying?”

“Hyung.”

At that time, Pyaenjil uttered a vulgar curse that he had never uttered before in front of them.

“Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? “Even if I want to fight with someone, I can’t fight because I don’t have the skills…!”

It was natural that her dissatisfaction, as she secretly envied the petty person, was stimulated.

“Didn’t you at least find out the location of the Great Devil? I also decrypted it like I just did! On the other hand, I only get in the way…!”

“That’s this special high school! “You can fight shoulder to shoulder with me every time!”

“Look at this! How do you do this side by side? “I can’t help the demon knight!”

“Fucking hell! “You have the power to stop the knight Nari when he goes wild, and you can extend a hand when Nari is short of hands!”

A burst of verbal abuse that I had never heard before in my life broke out. But if it’s annoying or unpleasant, okay.

“The Demon Knight can fight without me!”

“That guy fights without me! “Don’t embarrass yourself by saying such obvious things!”

“Don’t make me suffer! “Why are you blurting out the point and being damned!”

“This Inquisitor.”

“I said everything, you damned gentleman?!”

“Did you say everything you idiot! cur!”

Rather, the more I listened to the verbal abuse, the more the sadness of incompetence and the anger of helplessness filled me.

“Do you know how it feels to be the person who has to stay in the back and wait every time?! “How miserable that is!”

“I know how it feels to see someone who wants to be helpful, but instead only causes trouble and doesn’t even support the other person, fall down because of me!!”

no. That was originally there.

It was just that the emotional crater gradually grew larger and burst out as the shouting came and went.

“There’s no way I would know that! “I don’t even get a chance to stand by her or talk to her anymore!”

“I can’t even stand next to him or talk to him!! “I’m just like you!”

The frustration and anger that I had never properly expressed poured out like a waterfall.

“In such a situation, I am! I feel like my judgment is always wrong…! “You always helped him, but I always ruined it…!”

“Damn, I guessed right! Or tell me! For your information, my most recent actions were to keep my mouth shut and try to die!”

“Well said! You idiot! Why did you keep your mouth shut and die! “You too, I don’t trust you!”

“No, the fucking point is, did you get to the point first? And it’s not like I didn’t believe it?! “It’s just that… I’m not worth it…!”

“Why aren’t you worth it!!”

“Fuck shit! “You’re not just a nuisance!”

The Inquisitor and Deathbringer, who were screaming loudly, ended up with tears in their eyes. This is because they became emotional as they revealed their true feelings to each other.

“I am useless….”

“Don’t be a damn bastard. If you are useless, then I am even more useless….”

“You are useful… I have no….”

“You’re just making excuses… . I, I even this time….”

“What this time… huh.”

“Damn knight, you must be so disappointed that you won’t even talk to me… hehehe.”

“What are you saying? He doesn’t show any disappointments… Because he’s the type of person who doesn’t have expectations… Sigh.”

“Fuck, you’re the worst, you bastard…”

It was the moment when the Archmage, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, ordered Berserk to bring in people and decided to concentrate on treating the demon knight.
