Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 30

◈Episode 30 In front of the fruition of choice (5)

“Damn….”

Deathbringer watched the horses for over five hours and started swearing. That’s why I was suddenly annoyed by my situation.

“I should have followed you.”

Could it be that the task of monitoring and protecting the horses is too uneven? Or maybe it was because the wizard had said that the city might have to be abandoned.

I kept seeing someone’s back. It was mainly the back of someone who walked away without looking back.

“No, just follow it because I think it will be of some help.”

Didn’t the demon knight do that in the first place? Don’t let me hinder you because I’m weak!

“…Seed.”

Even so, the feeling of tightness in my chest does not go away.

In the end, Deathbringer washed his face dry. Nothing was washed away.

“What on earth am I doing?”

They say the city is dangerous, so why should he just watch the horses? If they fail in the first place, won’t he die too? Because it was such a dangerous situation.

But he knew his subject well enough to join them. His specialty was picking people’s hair, not the devil’s hair.

“This is all because of Skylar.”

I just asked him to lend me his horse, but after asking a lot of questions, he said, ‘You should follow me too.’ If it weren’t for those words, he would have been resting well in Somon by now.

While your personal safety is guaranteed, you won’t hear any harsh words telling you to get out of the way or calling you a criminal!

“It’s not that helpful…”

He gritted his teeth, recalling the conversation he had with Skylar when they left Somon.

『Kid, keep an eye on him.』

『Yes?』

『And worry. I wonder if that’s what you wanted to become.』

『What are you talking about…』

『Judge with your own eyes whether you really won’t regret it even if the rest of your life resembles that one’s. Because it will definitely help your future.』

What will it help you in the future? He gave it to me, followed me to sleep, and ended up dying, so what’s the help?

And I don’t know why I think the rest of my life will resemble that of a demon knight. He had no intention of becoming a demon hunter.

“Mr. Ha. “Should I break out now?”

I really want to, but I don’t have the confidence to break through the siege alone. Damn it. It wasn’t following after all.

“Why didn’t I think of refusing? It really pisses people off… huh?”

Then wait a moment. He quickly came down from the temple wall.

I don’t know why he was on the wall. It requires a detailed explanation, but it is not immediately important, so I will skip it.

“…What are those bastards?”

What I needed to focus on now was the suspicious group hiding in the alley.

* * *

How many devil contracts have gathered underground in the city?

When I try to catch my breath, enemies come rushing in, and the unique frustration of an enclosed space seems to make me more tired.

The uncertainty of not knowing the time and the end was equally overwhelming.

Would you rather leave midway and come back? I even thought about it….

Of course, along with the concept, the gamer’s unique spirit of ‘let’s see who will win’ won the game. When I actually went back, it was even more bothersome.

“after.”

Fortunately, it was almost time for it to end. Not only did I explore half of the map, but I also succeeded in finding the way down.

The new tracking skill also says that the trace continues underground, so it must be certain.

“…Let’s rest for a moment.”

When you reach your destination, a boss battle will probably occur. As such, I decided to do maintenance just this once. Well, all you have to do is cover the wound with a bandage and sharpen the knife.

“My finji, the mob’s finji.”

Since pain sensation is somewhat dull, it is difficult to find the injured area.

I tried temporarily raising my pain level. Is it because they only raised it by 10%? It wasn’t much different from before uploading. Maybe the injuries were minor.

However, I thought it would hurt too much to raise it any further, so I just fumbled to find the point of injury. There were a couple of locations that happened to be captured.

「Hemostasis bandage│Cloth used to cover wounds. “It won’t have much of an effect, but it will prevent bleeding.”

For your information, in the remake version of “The Legend of Heroes,” there are no items such as potions that restore HP in an instant.

It may be there, but I didn’t see it, or it may appear in the latter half of the episode, but in any case, I’m saying that we have to rely on natural recovery for now.

That doesn’t mean you don’t need bandages. Bleeding was more than a condition that lowered the natural recovery amount or completely reduced HP depending on the level, and the bandage solved that problem.

Although it may not be immediate, it is not useless.

Wow.

Bandages were wrapped around his left forearm and right thigh. It was around that time that my HP, which had been hovering around the same spot for some time, started to slowly recover.

Now it’s time to take care of the knife.

I wiped my sword with the hem of my coat. Since I had nothing to wipe the blood with, I had to do this as a temporary measure. Clothes are washed automatically anyway.

Crunchy.

Hands without knowledge and relying on corrections mechanically polished the knife. Since it was a task that didn’t require thinking, I felt dizzy for a moment.

“A hostile target exists within a 20m radius.”

However, this dungeon did not leave my head alone.

I took two swords that were almost fully polished and looked around. There were no visible signs.

Then why did the notification appear?

Tick.

With the sound of falling stone dust, I lowered my gaze. A mark was visible in the hole.

How many of them are coming up again to stop me?

“Why don’t those who went ahead come back?”

Well why? I quietly placed the lamp on the floor and gently stepped out of the light. As bright as the lights are, the area outside is eerily dark. Just enough to hide me.

“Now there’s no one to go out…”

“Stop complaining. “You just have to hold on a little longer.”

Soon one came up from the hole.

“But who put the light here? “What are you going to do if you get caught like this?”

“I don’t know. Even if you clean it up, I go up and clean it up. “Because we’re almost there.”

And one more guy.

My hand, buried in the darkness, held the two-hender like a lance.

“Everyone came up, right? “So, are you going to clean it up now?”

Oh look at this. It doesn’t matter though.

“uh?”

It’s not an official skill, but if I had to give it a name, it would be something like a lunge and stab. I thought about something useless and strengthened my feet.

thud. My body bounced forward with a slight sound.

“What are you doing?”

Phew!

1 hit 2 feet usually means something like this.

I swung my sword to the right, looking at the people who were pierced side by side by the two-hender. Sigh! Although it was a bit cruel, it definitely left mortal wounds on the two enemies.

“Gagging!”

However, one of them was about to fall down the hole, so I quickly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up. It was a natural decision because if this body fell, it would be caught by those waiting underground.

Well, considering the existence of Sammokgu, it seems like it would take a while to do it this way.

“❖ What’s hidden in the back

∎ Searching the sewer

∎ Bonus: Eliminating demons 200 / ??”

Meanwhile, the count hit 200.

I thought back on whether I had killed that many people and realized that my numbers were blown because of goblins and skeletons. The total number of demon contractors and tough-looking demons killed here is less than forty.

Even so, it is true that the total amount is large.

“…Wow, my eyes are sore.”

I squeezed the area around my eyes and grabbed the rope inside the hole.

They said there wasn’t much time left for them to come up and make noise, so we had to hurry. How did I get here? If I fail because I was a little lazy, I get so angry that I can’t sleep.

“Once this is over, I’ll just focus on the concept and rest well.”

No matter how much it costs, I will go to a high-end, good inn. You sleep for about 12 hours in a soft bed covered with a thick blanket. After waking up, I buy something delicious to eat.

It feels good just to imagine it.

“Okay, let’s go.”

I began my descent, dreaming of comfortable beds and delicious food.

Since the lights I had retrieved were turned off, only the darkness that I could not see was pressing on me from all directions.

“Kill!”

And suddenly, the moment my feet touched the ground, an attack came. Judging from the close proximity, it looked like a vampire.

“Useless resistance.”

Ah, I was still expecting a bit, but I got caught as expected.

I couldn’t help but feel regret, but I assumed Taeyeon in my voice and swung the knife. It wasn’t that difficult because I could guess the enemy’s location using detection skills and audible signs.

If the situation arises, all you have to do is use your ‘survival instinct’ and find a way out.

Crrrrr!

Wow.

“Die you bastards.”

Judging by the presence felt from all directions, the space must be quite large. Considering that, I used Ground Crash from the beginning and then grabbed and swung True Two-Hender.

Suddenly!

The sound of a crash and a scream echoed in the invisible darkness. It was a sound made by various demons and humans mixing together.

“I can’t fucking attack!”

“Vampires take the lead! Let the devils take the lead! “I just need to hold on for a few more minutes!”

okay. There are only a few minutes left. Then we should move faster.

“Do you think you can do that…!”

I fired a barrage of slashes in all directions. The magic power needed to use the skill was steadily depleted, but it was better than taking the time to summon a powerful mob.

Of course, it may be a structure where it is definitely summoned like Somon, but that is something to think about later.

Above all, the speed of magic recovery was quite fast, so it was quite worth trying. There are probably some things I don’t want to think about deeply because I’m tired.

“Ugh!!”

“I can’t see it!”

“Kaaak!”

good. But isn’t there a separate boss room? Is this the boss room?

It’s hard to tell because there’s nothing to see. It was so gloomy that no lights were turned on for fear that someone might be the devil and his contractors.

“Is it there!”

Even so, there were no hints at all.

I finally discovered the presence of a faint flowing light. Light was creeping out from the floor on the other side in the form of incontinence. Its shape resembles that of a magic circle.

In addition, there was a strong smell of blood and rotting meat above it. This was true even though my nose was paralyzed from all the stench of the sewer.

It is clearly a sacrificial ritual.

“I’ll kill them all…!”

So I ran straight after the light. This time, trying not to look like Somon, I ran and slashed.

The idea was to destroy the magic circle and kill at least three of the people performing the ritual.

“Now!”

Just like that. It was the next moment that I realized I had misunderstood something.

“Tie it up!”

This magic circle was not intended to summon boss mobs.

Woe!

Even though two of the members of the magic circle were killed with a slash and one was stabbed directly, the magic circle was activated in the end. The light of the solid lines that made up the magic circle became stronger, enough to brighten up the surrounding area slightly.

A pile of corpses was vaguely visible in the darkness, magic was activated and something was vomited out.

Sigh!

It was not some high-ranking demon, but a white and red chain.

“…!”

Based on my curiosity about what that was and the anxiety brought on by the gamer jjambob, I urgently tried to escape the magic circle.

But then my second mistake was revealed.

“I can’t go…!”

One of the vampires I stabbed tenaciously survived and grabbed my ankle.

Sigh!

It was a struggle so weak that it could have been stopped by just applying strength and pulling out, but at least one second of time was lost.

Thanks to this, the chain came towards me and wrapped around my arm as I tried to resist it.

The right arm, which was not holding anything, was tied up in chains.

“I don’t want to fall for something like this—.”

Still, whatever. Wouldn’t it be okay since I easily broke the Archmage’s bindings?

With that in mind, I tried to use the skill. Sigh. In no time, his left arm was also tied up in chains.

“what…!”

Even if you want to shake it off, a strength that is incomparable to a binding binds your arms. Even if I used the skill, it was too much.

Even after my arms, my neck was tied. I was out of breath. It wasn’t at the level of strangulation, but it felt like something loosely tied like a choker.

“Did you tie it up?!”

“succeded…!”

Next, his waist, thighs, and ankles were wrapped in chains. It was around that time that my son-in-law began to brighten up.

There is a magic circle in the middle and lanterns placed sparsely surrounding the magic circle. It really looks like a pseudo-altar.

Is it correct to call that a lamp separately? Is it also a lamp made by digging out the top of a cuboid-shaped marble, filling it with oil, and lighting a fire on it?

I thought about the name for a moment and then came to my senses. I don’t have time to think about it because I’m going to die right away. The chain had to be removed quickly.

I don’t know where the last save point was, but I didn’t want to do this again.

“How dare you bastards…!”

“Gotcha!”

“It was originally meant to prepare for the hero, but….”

I guess I’m crazy. If you just listen to the lines, I’m pretty much the final boss.

The most vicious and strongest thing in the game is the player, so it’s not that wrong.

“It doesn’t matter since the hero also entered the underground cave.”

“Ha, I’ll finally kill that monster…!”

“You think you can tie me up with a flimsy chain!”

I shook my body intermittently and tried to free my mind from the chains.

Does it matter since the hero also entered the underground cave? Additionally, this magic circle is not a summoning circle, but a type that binds the target.

Moreover, from what I heard, it seems like the magic circle that bound me was originally meant for a hero… So, is their original purpose to tie a hero here? If that’s true, what about the statement that it’s okay to enter the underpass without being tied up…?

Oh, my brain is so dull that I can’t think. driving me crazy.

Crrrrr.

At that time, the two cedars and five skeletons I couldn’t kill slowly approached me. But it was still impossible to break the chain.

Even if you want to use a skill, there is no point in swinging the weapon because your body is so tightly bound.

I am certain that the black energy of the weapon will break the chain if I hit it, but that doesn’t work.

It was truly annoying.

Wait then, am I really going to die here? Wow Evande. No, I don’t mind dying because I think it’s worth it, but this won’t start all over again, right? Are you sure you have a good save point?

Or really…?

I exhaled through my sleepy throat.

You know, it’s something I’ve been thinking about since I got trapped in the game.

If the player character dies, the city is destroyed, or something goes wrong anyway and GAME OVER pops up.

At that time, will it be a logout or a retry? Or else…

Crrrrr.

I let out a shaky breath as I looked at the cedar tree in front of me.

Oh, of course, Retry is the most likely, right? I think logging out would be best, but honestly, that seems very unlikely.

So in the end, it’s the former. Retweet after being killed by a dog or a bone?

and. It’s too out of shape. Even if you catch each of the rets, you have to be caught by the boss, even by random mobs like that.

So, I…

I think it’s better to stop here.

Resistance that had stopped for a moment was resumed. It would have been nice if the skill could have been used with just one body. Then, I think there will be an opportunity to exert more force and swing. That thought was a bonus.

Even in my opinion, it couldn’t have been truly shameless. They ask you to increase the skill application range on a topic that is already suffering from bugs. I have no conscience.

Grumbling.

But the game listened to it.

From the gauntlet on my right arm, a black effect that appeared only when using a skill steadily appeared.

“no! “Hurry and kill me!”

“It must have been a bondage that involved sacrificing 40 people…!”

“Ha—!”

what? what? What is it really?

But I’m not one to miss an opportunity, so I immediately braced my arms. The laughter acting that suited the concept was a bonus.

“I should have told you…!”

The chain, which had not even nodded, began to make a clicking sound for the first time. The feelings of ‘there’s a bug in the game’ and ‘it’s a god game without logging out’ were mixed.

“Don’t think you can stop me with something like this!”

Cheer up!

The chain on his right arm shattered with an incongruous, clear sound.
