Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 21

◈Episode 21 The price of ignorance (7)

Huuuuu!

A black mist rose from the blood that the demon contractors cut their forearms. The number was three.

“Draugr! good!”

“All you have to do is buy time!”

The good news is that the target summoned is a draugr. It’s true that he’s a bit difficult to deal with, but that’s just for me, and in front of the priest, he’s like a lamp in the wind.

“Know with glory… I will send you back to hell with my own hands.”

Still, I can’t sit back and leave everything to the Inquisitor.

I ran along the path that would cause the least damage using the skill ‘Survival Instinct’. The Inquisitor, who was not as fast as me and had no knack for avoiding skeletons, fell behind in an instant.

“Gretchen must be killed too! He betrayed!”

Just as I was about to become isolated among the skeletons, a voice I heard touched my ears. He was the guy who pretended to be friendly with me all night.

“As expected, the temple was one of them.”

“…!”

“I should have hit your head back then… Isn’t that right?”

I hit the skeleton reaching for me with my arm and quickly opened and closed the skill window. The one remaining point fell into place and gave me new strength.

Ugh.

Coincidentally, a draugr was also close to me. Good timing.

“This time, I will cut off your head and comfort the dead…!”

“In front of me—!”

“Ground… Crash!”

I casted the high-level Breaker skill I had just taken.

「Ground Crash │ Immediately after jumping up, it dives down and slams the magical weapon into the ground. When landing, a shock wave spreads in all directions.

Effect: Consumes 60 horsepower. Attacks the hit enemy with 700% damage. “Enemies that come into the range of the shock wave take 370% damage and are pushed back.”

The moment my body jumped into the air and slammed the two-hender held in reverse to the ground, pitch-black energy swept everywhere, making the ground rumble. Like an explosion or a storm.

Hood!

“Demon knight…!”

The Inquisitor’s call seemed to be vaguely heard between the flying stone dust and the rising dust wind. It wasn’t that important.

“That’s Gretchen…!”

“Kill the Lord!”

“Drauger!”

Instead, I did what I could and had to do.

Quang!

“…!”

Breaker-type skills have large movements, making it difficult to make combo attacks, but there is no actual stiffness penalty. Therefore, if you use your skills well, comboing isn’t that difficult.

I slashed forward with my sword, cutting down the draugr in one fell swoop. As long as the center of the target mark is cut, it is the minimum critical hit. Considering the attack that went before, there is a high probability that he died.

Woe!

But the draugr fog is hard to see because of the dusty wind.

I swung my sword and created wind to open my sight. Then I saw the prognosis of the draugr I had cut in half.

The fog is falling down and disappearing, as if he is really dead.

“Destroy evil!”

The Archmage, who was casting a spell from behind, seemed to be trying to take over all sides for a moment, and finally launched an attack. White but golden flames engulfed the remaining skeletons and one draugr.

Quang!

At a similar time, the Inquisitor also killed the last one. This concludes their preparation.

I ran out at once. There was some pleasure in dealing with difficult enemies, but I didn’t want to give them time to summon them.

“Ugh—!”

“Give up fucking control!”

“what? Crazy—!”

By the time we reached the magic circle where the ritual was taking place, the demon contractees were vomiting blood and making a decision. It wasn’t the kind of thing that was welcome.

“Do you think I will allow it?”

The three who interrupted me couldn’t stop me even if they threw themselves at me, so if I put it off and kill the guy who was carrying out the ritual, would the summoning stop? I usually read comics and novels, but I don’t know anything about games.

Well, if it is a necessary development, it will be blocked if it is summoned and a material that can be blocked.

“Come death!”

Suddenly!

“Gagging!”

I ignored the three demon contractors who rushed at me and cut off the head of one of the ritual participants.

Since demon contractors were also classified as wizards, there was no one who could interfere with me. Physically, I don’t have the ability, and in terms of ability, the casting time is long.

But unfortunately, it seems to be one step too late. Or maybe it was a predetermined development.

“That’s it!”

Flash!

A summoning circle drawn in white beneath a pile of corpses, presumed to be those who had been captured, emitted red light. Suddenly, the tingling in my right arm became a little stronger.

Cracking, cracking—

I wonder if I lost my concentration for a moment due to the tickling sensation in my right arm.

Pow!

For an instant, the intensity of light soared and an incredible physical force struck my body. My body was unable to float and was thrown backwards.

“Demon knight!”

Empty!

Is it unfortunate or fortunate that the location where it flew was on top of the Inquisitor’s large shield?

HP was drastically reduced. There is no time to tell whether it was due to the impact of the collision or the divine power that the Inquisitor was wearing.

Even though I set the pain level to low, my back feels tingly.

“Maggots…”

I slid off the large shield and landed on the ground. It felt a bit weird because both the front and back panels were throbbing.

Still, there were no major injuries, so it was worth it.

“Are you okay Nari?”

“Are your eyes decorative?”

Although HP has gone down a bit, there are no injuries. So I fixed my sights ahead.

Just as I flew away, I could see the demon contract bastards being thrown in all directions and begging for help. That was a bit tricky.

Kiaaa!!

It’s a little sad that I couldn’t stop the summoning.

“…You did a good job summoning it.”

“What is that?”

Well, I’m satisfied because I managed to pull off a close scene. I took a close look at the summoned demon.

It was a dragon-shaped demon with no wings but fins.

“Nucker│A demon that swims freely in the water and eats humans through wells. It is said that powerful poison flows from those teeth.”

“It’s a knuckle. “The teeth are poisonous, so be careful.”

“…isn’t it dangerous to be bitten even if it’s not poisonous?”

What the thief said was right. The size of the summoned Nucker is approximately 3m from the tip of his toes to the top of his head, even though he walks on all fours.

The joint wasn’t set big for no reason.

“Tsk.”

Rather, from what I remember, Knucker would not be a mob that would appear in the beginning. Of course, it has been adjusted to match the recommended quest level, but…

“Huh… If that’s the case, even a hero…!”

Meanwhile, the guy who was pretending to be friendly with me was still alive. It wasn’t a bad thing. I end up slitting that NPC’s neck.

Kiaaaaaaa!

“…! coming! “Behind me!”

At that time, Knucker spotted us, opened his mouth wide, and started charging.

“I offer you… to abandon reason and gain strength…!”

Kiaaak!

One guy who was muttering while lying down even went berserk. I’m not sure, but it’s almost 99% when I suddenly open my eyes and see black energy flowing from my body.

“God, please lend me the strength not to give in to evil…! “Aaaap!”

But the Inquisitor, who saw that, wanted to fight head-on. I think you can just dodge to the side.

I wondered if his honest personality also applied in fights.

“Ugh, is it right to hold on to this?!”

At that time, the Inquisitor recited a prayer, and with an even more intense radiance, the thief hid behind him. The same was true for Archmage.

“Cohesive and build a protective wall!”

“What are you doing, Nari!”

“You—!”

No, I was going to dodge to the side…!

The rogue grabbed me and dragged me behind the Inquisitor. The timing is so vague that I can’t escape now.

Quang!

Immediately afterwards, a loud roar sounded as if a mountain was collapsing.

“I can’t believe I’m holding on to that…!”

The Archmage’s shield was instantly broken, and a fierce battle of power began between the Inquisitor’s shield and the dragon’s head. It entered the confrontation confidently without being pierced or broken.

“Aaaah!”

Even after the Inquisitor showed his courage, he was not pushed back. At first, I was pushed back a bit due to the impact, but now I am able to stand upright on my two legs and withstand that weight and force.

I still have no plans for a party, but he is a really awesome tank. If you say

, “The devil…”,

can he stay still as a dealer?

The opportunity was just right. The timing to target Knucker’s weak point – his head – so comfortably was not common.

“They all deserve to die…!”

Sreung.

I grabbed the two-hender tightly with both hands and escaped from behind the Inquisitor.

With one step, I stood next to Knucker, who was rubbing his head against his shield, and with a single twist of my ankle, my body turned towards Knucker.

Breaker. An ominous energy formed on the sword, and the huge blade was slashed down like the blade of a guillotine.

Suddenly!

Blood flowed into the air.

“…!”

“…Is that a demon knight….”

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

I could not bear to speak as I looked at Knucker, whose snout and tongue had been completely cut off.

When fighting a boss or hunting an elite mob, it is rare for gamers to want to destroy a part just because they successfully hit a weak spot.

Even if they wish, they want the damage to pile up and cause destruction, and no one expects it to happen in one hit. I am that kind of person too.

But what’s so disappointing about this game that it’s set up to destroy parts in one hit?

Goblins are an age-old mob and are often weak in any game, so I understood. He’s a dragon. Even if it’s a subspecies, it’s a dragon.

I’m now level 15, but isn’t this a bit much?

“What—!”

“For just one sum…?!”

I felt like the demon contractors were feeling the same way, but I couldn’t make a fuss, so I kept my lips tight and adjusted my posture.

Although his snout was cut off, Knucker was still alive.

“Whoa.”

I exhaled, swallowed slowly, and adjusted my grip as if pulling a two-hender. It was a prelude to attacking the next target area.

“Oh, no! “We have to stop it!”

The snout is cut off and the head is raised upward, so it is impossible to hit the head. However, the dragon’s weakness is not necessarily limited to its head.

Disgusting. Scales that grow upside down closest to the heart. It turns red and looks even better.

It was a weakness that most virtual reality games that featured dragons had implemented.

“Summon a cow!”

“I don’t have any offerings!”

“I offer up my blood…”

The enemies behind the dragon, who were plotting something, went crazy, but they could never stop it from this distance.

“Tie up the enemy!”

Moreover, the Archmage also provided support fire. I completely ignored the entangled enemies and took the next step.

Suddenly, I was disappointed that I couldn’t use the stabbing skill – Stinger right now because of the ground crash. I don’t regret filming the ground crash, but it would have been better if I had used the stinger at this time.

Grumbling.

As I held out my sword with such regret, black energy began to rise from the sword.

“…?”

Phew!

As soon as I recognized it, the blade pierced Knucker’s heart. Thanks to this, it was impossible to check again.

“Oh my, Nari. “The back is empty!”

However, the image is too clear in my memory to pass it off as an illusion.

Just before I lost my mind due to this doubt, someone passed by me and fell behind me. Thanks to this, my thoughts were broken in less than 0.1 second.

Break!

When I reflexively turn my head, I see the hem of the thief’s hood and bone fragments. I think it might be a skeleton summoned by a demonic contractor.

“…Well, I don’t think someone who can kill a dragon with a single sword will get hit by a skeleton.”

No, this may just be because the dragon is set to be weak. It may seem amazing to NPCs who don’t know about it.

Sigh.

I pulled out my sword, barely able to push away the questions that quickly began to occupy my mind. Broken, disgusting pieces flew out in all directions, and a pit bull jumped out of the end of the pierced flesh.

His face and body were drenched in dragon blood.

thud!

「LEVEL UP!」

Nucker also laid down as if it was a direct hit that cut off his snout and pierced his heart. It was a somewhat unpleasant ending for those who knew that Nucker was a high-ranking mob.

Realistically speaking, it’s true that you die when you receive this wound… but since I thought I died after being hit twice by a level 15 attack, it’s a bit…

“Greceeeeeen!”

Suddenly, the cavity was filled with titles that were not my nickname or name, but that I knew still referred to me. This is the guy who pretended to be friendly.

“Really, really betrayal—!”

what. I wiped the blood from my face with the back of my hand—it didn’t really help—and looked straight at the crying NPC. The lower officer visible under the hood is likewise soaked in blood, and his body is tightly bound in the Archmage’s bindings.

It looked like it was perfect for slitting the neck.

“That chirunguni has a pierced mouth…!”

The Inquisitor looked angry, and I put on a cool expression to contrast with his. Of course, this does not mean that I am not angry.

“How can you make the king…!”

“Yes, there’s still you left…”

The expressionless expression just now was just a prelude to him rolling his eyes when the corners of his mouth fluttered!

“Talk more. “I wonder how much you can handle my anger.”

“…!”

I shook off the two-hender. Blood splashed onto the floor of the cavity and an eerie light began to flow again.

“Why can’t I talk anymore?”

Step by step. I walked neither fast nor slow.

Then the other person turned his head to avoid eye contact with the hooded subject. Still, I can’t stop myself from getting closer.
