Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 214

Episode 214: Life is cruel (9)

Pow!

The fired bullet did not do anything special. It’s just that the device exploded and hit the target almost immediately, in a situation where not even a few days had passed since it was fired.

Some soldiers do not even think to raise their heads, as if they mistook the explosion sound for the sound of a device exploding.

Kugugugugugung.

That was until the sound of something heavy falling into the water was heard.

“What are you doing. Mermen are coming up.”

But there was someone who looked at the sea faster than the person who heard the sound and raised his head.

The Meister, who had never lowered his head from the beginning—he only put on earplugs for a moment to protect his ears—trusted the Inquisitor’s shield and stood and watched everything—the Meister shouted, throwing a base bomb.

“Oh, I know.”

Next was the Inquisitor.

She was slightly embarrassed by the shock, which was stronger than expected, and immediately stood up in a hurry.

Quang!

One after another, Merman, who was just about to come, hit the suddenly created curtain and was crushed. If it were a human, it would be at least a concussion.

Pow!

The iron fist of justice was meted out to those who managed to escape the barrier and climb up there. She breathed with a calm expression on her face.

Well, actually, it wasn’t complete relief. The tremendous demonic energy felt from behind the city and the continuous thunder that made her feel restless to no end.

Her throat burned.

“…Did you kill it?”

Meanwhile, Deathbringer also stood up awkwardly and raised his bow. “There’s a hole!” One by one, the soldiers who had lowered their heads are raising their spears again.

“Probably not.”

“…Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that.”

Among them, the ones who answered Deathbringer’s question were two. The Meister and Seongju glared at the night sea with their faces wrinkled.

There is an item that brightens the night in their eyes. The Meister also borrowed from Seongju, as if robbing him, from another conductor.

“But if you do it right, I think you can kill it.”

“Aiming for the head? I am against it, Meister. “The chance of missing is too high.”

After observing the turtle like that, they discovered the aftermath of what had just happened.

The bullet just fired pierced the turtle’s shell and broke off some of the rocks on the shell. In the process, I could see some blood leaking from my neck, as if I had been hit in the neck.

In other words, even if it doesn’t give a big impact to the shell, it can sufficiently penetrate the flesh.

“Even if it’s not the head, it’s worth targeting below the neck.”

“There are only three devices. One of them I wrote just now. “Can you hit it?”

“If you can’t get it right, you can’t get it right.”

“…Sure.”

It also has a long neck, so there are many areas you can target other than the head, which is higher than the shell. For example, the part inside the shell that connects the body and the neck.

Gooooooo!

“…!”

“Something is coming!”

“I will defend!”

But would it really be a world if the enemy just watched it?

In response to the turtle’s roar, the Inquisitor decided to prepare just in case. It was a blessing that would increase the strength of the entire castle wall.

Although I was a little overworked due to work just now, this was fortunately possible.

The Inquisitor closed his eyes, thinking it was a good idea to save his strength in the beginning. How do I deal with the thing behind it? Then, a ray of doubt briefly rose in a corner of my mind.

No matter how much strength I saved, if I used it like this now, it would be difficult to deal with the devil behind me, so it was a natural doubt.

“Demon Knight, I trust you.”

However, this place has become a place where I can no longer leave. This was even more so because in the future, a greater number of people would die compared to the moment when we conserved our strength earlier.

So what can you do? A bead of sweat appeared on her cheek, and the entire castle wall was dyed a golden light.

Drumming.

However, as a result, that protection became somewhat meaningless.

The attack that came was not a direct attack by the turtle.

[mom mom! Where are you?]

[Dihi my love. Where did you go and leave me behind? I’m scared.]

[Honey, are you still okay? Can you come back alive?]

[Help me. Help me…are….]

“It’s a siren!!”

A demon with the lower body of a bird and the upper body of a human began to fly from the natural rock wall formed on the turtle’s shell.

She was a devil siren who lured humans by imitating the voice of the person they missed the most.

[Dad, I don’t know the way. Where should we go?]

[Fire, fire! Lucas, save me!! I can’t get out of here!]

[Would you like to go together? I can protect you.]

[Because when I come back, I will really accept your confession this time!]

They flew away, flapping their rat-colored wings that were connected to human arms. Beneath the sky-gray hair is a face with no eyes or nose, only a mouth.

“Everyone, come to your senses! “You must not be deceived!!”

“Oh, you crazy devils. “Is there anything like this in the world?”

Since they come so rarely, I thought they might not come this time, but they came again…!

The castle lord’s eyes widened and he urgently gave orders to those around him. However, the voices of the sirens were very clear and clear.

Some soldiers stopped holding their weapons.

In their words, it will probably be torn apart by the claws of the Mermen that will soon come up, or to be kissed by a flying Siren.

“Wake!! That’s fake! That means it’s fake!!”

Did the Lord of Seong hurriedly turn around to ring the bell? [Wilhelm.] Hearing the voice he heard, he closed his eyes and put his foot on the ladder.

“Everyone—! “Come to your senses!!”

Quaaaang!

Suddenly, an enormous golden light began to spread out like an explosion over the castle wall.

Considering that the soldiers were delayed in opposing Merman, it was a new divine power that was unleashed without even removing the protection of the castle wall.

Cold sweat broke out on the Inquisitor’s cheeks.

[Kyaaaa!]

[Kyaaaa!]

Still, the reward from her efforts was worth it.

Those who were deluded regained their senses, and the Sirens and Mermen, who were struck by divine power that was no different from extreme poison, screamed and retreated.

Their skin and feathers are slightly tanned.

[mom mom! It hurts!]

[Lucas Lucas, please! Me…!]

[Ahhhh!]

Meanwhile, does that mean the devil is the devil? Even though they retreated due to the divine power, they raised their voices again. It was a obsession to put a curse on people in some way.

Pow!

[Boo!]

“How dare you.”

However, that purpose was defeated by someone who stepped on the stile and ran.

“dare…!”

When the 2m tall man swung the spear, the siren’s neck was broken by the spear. No matter how you look at the fall, it means instant death.

“The devil insults my sister!”

Suddenly! That’s not all.

Using another Siren as a stepping stone, she jumped again, pierced the new Siren’s solar plexus with her spear, and then sent the other Siren flying.

puck. The sirens collided with each other and fell helplessly into the sea.

“I’ll tear them all to death!”

The voice is full of evil, almost like a roar. The color of the blue ice floe was so young that it felt cold against the spear blade.

“I was wondering why you didn’t come down.”

I wonder if everyone was taken aback by his spirit and just looked at him and went on with his work. The Meister, who I don’t know when disappeared, suddenly stuck out his head.

In his hands is a new cart and a new device. The faces of the soldiers crowded behind are red. These are the expressions of people who used up all their strength to breastfeed.

“Move!”

After many twists and turns, a second device was installed and bombardment was attempted through the same process as before.

Quang! Since he had fired from a different location earlier—there was no time to clean up the debris—it would have been difficult to adjust the angle, but the Meister ended up hitting near the neck.

with a plop!

The rock wall near the hole collapsed, and the turtle let out a long cry as it got closer.

More sirens living on the turtle’s back flew out and joined the battlefield. It made me wonder how Sirens, a rare type of demon, could proliferate so much.

“Laura….”

[Lucas! [You finally came!]

However, the biggest problem was the crackdown on soldiers.

There are so many sirens that it becomes too difficult to restore the possessed soldiers to their original condition.

The Inquisitor continued to explode with divine power, and the Weapon Master… Berserk… Anyway, even though she went around massacring the Sirens. Someone ended up falling for the Siren’s deception.

with a plop! At the Siren’s gesture, two soldiers fell into the sea.

There were many people who had their tongues and entire face chewed off through kissing. A human torso with its head missing fell from the air. That was only around here.

There would have been more damage in areas where the Inquisitor and dual-personality fighters had less influence.

“Damn you, Lord! The troops…!”

“Hold on just a little longer!”

The most difficult thing was that as the Sirens created holes in the troops, the Mermen breaking through the walls became more frequent.

The few Mermen left ran wild even more as if they knew this was their last chance.

This was not a good thing for the soldiers, who got tired faster than usual due to the fierce fighting and whose morale was low due to all kinds of variables.

thud!

“It’s so, so close…”

By then, the turtle’s body was halfway over the embankment. That was also the last resort that Seongju was thinking about.

The final bastion was decided with time in mind as the soldiers had to be evacuated before the giant turtle reached the castle walls.

bang!

“It’s the last time! “If it’s this far away, it’s probably right!”

However, the final bombardment device had just been installed to kill people.

That made him hesitate a little. This is because if you evacuate people and then the turtle goes down, the reward for evacuating is lost.

No, maybe it’s a loss. There is no way Merman will leave the castle walls where the soldiers have left.

Is it the lives of the soldiers or the money needed for future repairs?

Seongju cut off the Siren’s wings and fired the signal flare he had saved until the end.

“Retreat!”

The answer goes without saying. A city can be rebuilt at any time, but people’s lives cannot be restored.

“Those in the middle fall to both sides!”

There was no need for soldiers to activate the bombardment device. At most, only a meister, someone to inject magic power, and a few skilled people to protect it are required.

And with that many people, it becomes easier to evacuate when turtles get close. Because the number is small and there are only elites.

After such efficient judgment, he sent his soldiers first. No one criticized his conclusions as weak or cold-hearted.

“You can retreat faster, Lord.”

Rather, most of them had no thoughts, and the Inquisitor even cheered the castle lord’s choice.

The man, whose hair was soaked in sweat, stamped his mace on the floor to declare sanctuary. A darker light than the brilliance that had emitted so far began to color the castle walls like waves.

“…Also…never…never send anyone to the north gate. The same applies when a rescue signal comes. “The area may be on guard, but please do not approach directly.”

“…?!”

“…Hey San. What do you mean—”

“If you go, you’ll die. Ordinary people can no longer help in that fight.”

Immediately after, the warrior declared sanctuary with a face that looked like he was about to cry. Then Deathbringer, who wanted to ask more, kept his mouth shut.

With a sanctuary built on the wall, a situation was created for the soldiers to retreat more comfortably.

“Go first, Lord Seong. “What is the Commander-in-Chief doing while staying here?”

“…Dietrich Franz. Stay and help them. “I wish you all good luck.”

As the lord of the castle and the commander-in-chief, the lord of the castle had no choice but to leave first. He followed the soldiers with an expression of shame.

He will now decide on the soldiers’ retreat route, receive reports on the evacuation status of the people, and further hasten their evacuation.

Those left behind waited for the device’s magic to be full.

Gurgling!

The area around the northern gate, which has begun to burn on the other side of the city, is still full of thunder.

Coo! thud!

The turtle has now approached within a few tens of meters. The sight of the piles of thorns underneath, as if they are not in pain, is walking down and crushing everything is truly reckless.

Suddenly!

“Is that the nest of these nestlings?”

“Maybe so.”

At that time, the person who tore down and killed most of the few sirens that remained even after the sanctuary was declared finally returned to the castle walls.

As if the fact that he almost fell into the sea several times wasn’t enough to scare him, his blood-soaked face was just as bloody.

“Can I kill you with this?”

“It would be nice if I could kill him, but I don’t know. “If you can’t kill it, you have to run away.”

Weapon Master… No, is it Berserk now? Deathbringer, who knew of her dual personality, became a little puzzled as he looked at her eerie golden eyes.

“If you can’t kill it with that, Berserk will. certainly.”

…Berserk’s older sister, so wasn’t the Weapon Master limited to just her personality?

“Well, if you say yes, we would be grateful.”

“Wait a minute, I know you’re strong, but what can you do with that huge thing…”

“Leave it alone, Franz. “I’m probably saying that because it’s possible.”

Otherwise, there would be no way for the Siren to say ‘don’t insult your sister’ to someone who followed suit.

Without realizing it, he was analyzing Berserk’s situation and saw the monster right in front of him. It seemed more like a disaster than an actual enemy.

They just chose a route that passed by the location of their city… such a natural disaster.

“Hero, that guy will get there first! “Do something!”

However, sometimes we are humans who have to deal with even natural disasters.

Following the Meister’s call, the Inquisitor, who had declared sanctuary and blocked the Merman and Siren, once again squeezed his strength.

“God, please give me the strength to protect everyone.”

The brilliant light became a protective shield, blocking the turtle’s advance. Because it was not a demon, it was not hit, but it could not pass through the wall according to the caster’s will.

The will of the giant monster and the Inquisitor clashed and began to test each other’s strength. With a crunching sound, the protective shield was broken and repaired again, pushing the turtle away.

Grumbling.

Blood flowed from the Inquisitor’s nose and mouth and then burned away.

“done!”

And when her body shook once, the device was fully charged. The Meister shouted.

“Disarm when you give the signal! “It doesn’t matter if it’s faster!”

“…You two, take the wizards and avoid them in advance. “It’s the same for you too!”

“…Follow me right away!”

“4 3─”

“Young hunter, take the demon knight’s horse too. “It will be nearby.”

“yes?!”

“turn off!”

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

A huge explosion shook the heavens and the earth, piercing the approaching monster’s neck and digging through the hole into the area connected to the neck.

Gooooooo!

The monster shook its neck and took a step back.

“ah.”

At the same time, the Inquisitor’s head turned back. Giant rampaging monsters weren’t even on her radar at the moment.

The green eyes filled with the earth engulfed in fire.

Piuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

In addition…a signal flare rose from the center of the flames.

It was a request for help, a cry for salvation, and proof that it was too much for him alone.

The demon knight failed to eliminate the demon.

Overwhelming magical energy overflowed as if the lord of evil had descended.
