Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 49

◈Episode 49 I prayed and prayed again (7)

To be honest, I did not think it would be possible to steer this large ship around the reef even though I had excellent navigation skills.

However, there are people with all kinds of abilities in the world, and such exaggerated abilities are especially common in games.

“Now it’s Yongulmok!”

As the adventurer, who used a whip as his main weapon, was working together to cut down the mercenary soldier he had rescued, such a warning occurred.

「West Sea: Yongulmok」

「❖ Corruption washed up from the sea

∎ Moving to Yongulmok

∎ Finding and purifying the source of negativity」

Boom!

With the renewal of the quest, a feeling of excitement immediately followed, reminding me of the valley rafting I had done once before.

“Isn’t this really a joke!?”

What on earth were the tsunamis and storms that hit us so far? I heard the current was fast, so I thought I would just do it, but I never thought that this big boat would be swayed this much.

“It’s so fucking dirty and hard to drive! “It’s a crazy sea!”

No, I think driving this thing is even crazier.

With that in mind, I raised my sword. Even dragon bottles were bouncing out of the sea due to the strong swell.

Suddenly!

The flying slash emitted beyond the shield and cut down the mercenary soldiers.

As a result, my body almost fell off the deck, but Dev made an audible sound and grabbed the bottom of my coat, and the Archmage grabbed my ankles and somehow managed to get back on my feet.

The ship doesn’t look like it’s going to sink yet, but it’s shaking tremendously like a roller coaster. I was really upset.

It was fortunate that the protection device was turned on so that there was no need to deal with the mercenary soldiers as frantically as before.

“It looks like the wizards will faint. Are you sure the protection is okay?!”

As Dev said, if the wizard faints, it becomes difficult to maintain the protection. This is because all functions mounted on the ship are operated using horsepower as fuel.

That was the fault of the time limit and the fact that twenty wizards followed. The significance of the wizard’s existence was to have a living spare battery in addition to activating a device at the right time.

“The current one operates with pre-loaded magic power, so you don’t have to worry!”

Of course, we are not putting up a shield from now on. The protection device works even if magical power has been infused in it in advance.

But it’s just like this… I don’t know what will happen when the magical power I’ve stored up runs out.

It reminds me of something like a racing game where you have to reach your destination before the gauge runs out. Even though I’m not controlling it.

“Not only the wizards but also the priests will faint!”

In the meantime, Dev lost what he was holding due to a huge shaking. His body slid across the deck and tried to fall toward the sea.

“You idiot!”

The protective shield only blocks attacks coming from outside. It doesn’t block outgoing attacks or anything.

In other words, if a person is thrown out, he or she falls straight into the sea. The Inquisitor’s and my hands reached out urgently.

“Gotcha!”

“Ugh!”

The Inquisitor was the first to grab Dev, and I grabbed him and dragged him up as well. Dev is back on deck.

“I bought it and lived.”

The ears that droop backwards seem to indicate how he was feeling just now. My heart would have been just as broken as Deb’s.

“Kwaaaak!”

However, it was not the time to be relieved.

Subsequently, one of the crew members fell off the mast and began to fall towards the sea.

Fortunately, I was not thrown far out into the sea, and the crash site was close to me. You can catch it.

widely!

“Ugh!”

I quickly ran over and grabbed the fallen person’s hand. Almost half of my upper body went over the railing, but I somehow succeeded in catching the sailor.

“Please save me!”

“…Stop struggling!”

Ugh. My body falls too!

thud!

Just barely before my body fell with me or my wet hands slipped, the boat tilted to the other side again.

The impact caused the sailor’s body to rise, and I did not miss the opportunity.

The sailor was thrown towards the deck. It may be bruised or broken, but it’s better than being eaten by the black sea.

“catch!”

Even physical pain cannot break the will to survive. The sailor quickly grabbed hold of something before he slipped.

“Is this okay?”

“It’s okay if you’re not dead yet!”

Other than this, I can’t really see anyone who fell. My insides are now turned upside down and my vision seems to be turned upside down too.

The wind hand managed to hold on to the rudder. Even in this situation, he must be an amazing person to endure and adjust his height.

Or did you put laces on your shoes? Even taking that into account, your core muscles are no joke.

“Ahead!”

At that time, someone who was barely holding on to the mast shouted.

“A reef sticking out!”

Even without that shout, it seems like the wind hand is already struggling with the rudder… In the first place, a ship cannot turn instantly like a car or motorcycle.

“Damn, that thing looks like it’s going to crash!”

Although the protection device covers a reasonable amount of reefs, the amount of horsepower consumed in the moment of hitting the reef is enormous. In addition to the basic maintenance cost, additional horsepower is charged to relieve the shock when hit.

That was why a captain like the wind was needed. Isn’t it meaningless to use up all the magic power that should have been used to prepare for the dragon’s attack on the reef?

“Everyone hold on tight!”

Anyway, for that reason I couldn’t stay still.

I started running, holding the extra rope on one side of the boat and the harpoon in the other hand.

There were many obstacles to running across the deck, so the next best option was the railing.

It seemed crazy to jump on a narrow railing on a shaking boat, but it was surprisingly easy to maintain balance.

The ‘Survival Instinct’ skill was not recommended for nothing. Although it was a bit unfortunate that the nausea was going crazy.

“You bastard! Grab the rope!”

“to?! iced coffee! crazy!”

However, it is already like riding on the back of a tiger. I reached the bow and stepped on the bow. My body literally jumped overboard.

Quack!

The thunderous, black sea was churning beneath me, spraying a lot of gray foam.

“…?!”

“That crazy knight, Nari!”

“Badae!”

I opened my eyes and focused on the vision. Fortunately, a blacker reef was slightly visible through the black sea water. My hand holding the harpoon gained strength.

“you!”

I wonder if the wind hand called me or not. Even if I didn’t call out, wouldn’t someone have thought I was about to die?

But I also know. This is somewhat close to an act of suicide.

But how do you know if the horsepower you expend on this reef will later turn into a snowball!

Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced snowballing so many times that I couldn’t bear to step away from something I thought I could do.

Tsuzzzzzzzz!

Magical power quickly gathered into the harpoon in my hand. It felt as if I had been struck by pitch-black lightning.

Wedge!

And I suddenly slammed it into the reef.

Quang!

In an instant, a circular hole opened up in the sea and the water there was pushed out.

The existing reef shattered from the point where the harpoon pierced, splitting tens of meters below.

“That idiot…!”

My body fell due to gravity, and the sea water that was briefly pushed away quickly filled the empty space. The boat was slightly swept away by the current.

with a splash!

Anyway, I went straight into the sea. Purr. The breath that came out of my mouth filled a part of my previously dark vision with hazy air bubbles.

The sound suddenly became muffled and vague memories and regrets of the past passed through my mind.

『The sun is high in the sky! Don’t wake up!』

『Shall we go hiking, son?』

I missed my parents.

Pow!

My deaf ears opened with the sound of a splash of water. The rope I was holding tightly was pulled and my body was pulled up out of the water.

The flying foam was extremely faint.

thud!

My body hit the deck, causing a tingling pain. Even though I reduced the pain sensation level, this was definitely a bruise.

“Are you still alive!?”

“Demon knight! Are you okay!”

In the meantime, the two people who had fished me out with a rope came face to face. The sky was obscured by two young faces.

“Cough.”

Thank you for saving me, but first, get rid of the sea water.

I coughed out the water that had entered my mouth. My mouth was salty and sour. It seems like some gastric juice has risen as well.

“You monster! “Are you alive?”

Why is Baramson fighting again? No, that’s praise, not controversy?

Anyway, I hope my previous suicidal act was helpful. My eyeballs are spinning right now.

I held on with the help of two people to avoid being thrown off the boat and closed my eyes for a moment. It felt like my semicircular canal was crawling out and doing a poppin’ dance.

“…Is there anything else to break?”

“That’s why I was so confident in my ability to slay the dragon because I had multiple lives!”

well. I hope so too. If possible, it would be better to give yourself an extra life by logging out.

“It’s a sea dragon!”

At that time, a sailor shouted that.

I slowly opened my eyes and checked what was ahead. Beyond the bow, I saw a long body swaying in the middle of the stormy sea. Honestly, I thought it was a waterspout.

Quack!

As if the rain wasn’t enough, thunder began to pound loudly across the sea.

“You can kill that thing, right?!”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

The cries of the Wind Hand, as if driven by evil, were heard. I responded back reflexively, but my intentions were not at all like that.

Wow it’s so big. If you hit that ship once, doesn’t that mean the entire shield is gone? Can this really be dragged all the way to Gamak Bay? Really?

The raid is so realistic that it brings tears to my eyes.

“Tell the wizards to prepare their magic cannons!”

“Wow, you crazy priest!”

The Inquisitor threw Dev through the entrance on the deck. Although it was a radical method, there was nothing as fast and safe as it.

I stood on the stumbling side. The dragon seen from a distance cried and immediately turned its gaze towards us.

“….”

Although the distance was far away, the outlines of the face, body, and shape of everything were strangely visible in detail. It was a miserable, beautiful monster that could not have been the source of this.

For example, scales that shine brightly even in the cloudy sky and black sea, two pairs of coral-colored horns extending straight from the forehead, and fins that are thin and softly shining like wings and decorations.

And pearly eyes looked at me. It seemed like that.

The beard extending from under the dragon’s nose fluttered.

「Sea Dragon│Ruler of the Western Sea. An ancient beast. Shinsu. There are many names for it, but there are few who have seen it in person.”

“That is a dragon…”

“Sea dragon…”

It is a being too mysterious and mysterious to be something that should be killed. Some of the sailors who originally worshiped them sobbed and lost their will to fight.

Even some adventurers and wizards who did not revere the sea dragon were overwhelmed and just swallowed their sleep.

“Fuck, come to your senses!”

Pow!

However, just before the people lost their minds, Baramson scolded them and urged them on. It was immediately after that the water near the dragon rose and something additional appeared.

Kwasik!

I was bitten by the dragon’s rising neck. The beautiful scales broke and blood poured out.

“Yo dragon!”

Funnily enough, the thing that bit the dragon was the same dragon.

Even though it was smaller, had ominous pale-colored scales, a black horn with a strange curve on one side, and its fins were torn and split and unsightly.

It was clearly a dragon too.

Suddenly, I remembered the mural I had seen in the living room, which depicted an adult and a baby together.

“…I feel denial.”

“Is it a fallen dragon?”

Anyway, I thought the big one was too elegant and noble to be the culprit of the incident, so I guess the real culprit was this one.

「???│???」

Following the time of the plague demon, a window full of question marks appeared again. This made it clear. It was him that we really had to catch.

Kyaaa!

Meanwhile, the sea dragon biting the back of the neck let out a scream and struggled to shake off the black dragon. And then it just went into the sea.

The black dragon also went into the water and hid itself, perhaps trying to chase the sea dragon.

Suddenly, we were left alone on the stormy sea.

“…Go there.”

I narrowed my eyes and quickly flicked my hand.

Although he was overwhelmed by the dragon’s majesty, he was more urgent about steering the ship, so he managed to move the ship by guiding the sailors who had barely come to their senses.

“what?”

“He said go to where the dragon came from.”

The dragon is large and relatively visible, but the distance between the dragon and us is far. In order to attack, it was necessary to approach the location of the dragon.

Moreover, this may be an act for the wind hand and the sailors.

I now realize that for a being of that size to dive into the sea, there had to be no reef right away. Even if they did, if they had fought in the sea, there is a high probability that everything would have been destroyed.

If you have to wait for the dragon to come out anyway, that’s better than the reef field.

“…!”

Windson’s eyes widened slightly as he sensed something from my words. And then I held on tightly to the key.

“Everyone, come to your senses!”

The boat began to hurt the rapids again. The rough water made all the noise, but the boat never stopped.

“…! “The current has weakened!”

“Isn’t there a reef inside Yongulmun Gate?…”

It seems my prediction was correct. There was really no reef or little reef in the place where the dragons were rampaging.

First of all, it seems like that when you look at the reactions of Baramson and the sailor. Because I don’t think the current weakened for no reason.

However, the weakening of the ocean current does not mean that the situation has been completely resolved.

The dragon was still in the sea, and even if it came to the surface, there was a lot of work left to do before it could be shelled and lured out.

“…! Under!”

Suddenly, someone heard a sound similar to a scream, and I reflexively looked down at the outside of the ship. Under the dark water, an even darker shadow passed us by.

“Uh oh oh!”

“Hold on to the railing!”

And soon the water level rises on only one side, and the black dragon sticks its head out of the sea. Of course, the cost was that our boat almost capsized.

widely.

With that feeling, I can’t miss this opportunity.

“gig!”

I quickly hurried to someone on the center deck. The goofy-faced adventurer reflexively handed the harpoon to me.

“Quickly turn the main sail and activate the downwind device!”

Baramson sensed my intention and quickly prepared to turn the boat around. It was a very wise choice.

“Shoot now!”

With a signal from the Wind Hand, a harpoon that looked like it was wrapped in black lightning flew out.

Kwasik!

It pierced through the black dragon’s scales and into its flesh. It was a moment when my anxiety that I thought it might not work was relieved.

Wow!

However, it appears that the attack worked too well. A loud and horrifying roar, much louder than that of a sea dragon, echoed through the sky, and bright red eyes looked back at us.

If you think those eyes are burning with anger, it’s not necessarily because of your mood.

“…gig.”

“Nari, this is correct, right?”

“Give it to me.”

But we originally had to drag it with aggro.

The original plan was to beat him up with the bombardment device on the ship, but all you have to do is go further or higher.

Actually, this might be better. The magic cannon also requires the magician’s magic power to operate.

It goes without saying that using that magical power to maintain the shield and tail wind device is a way to save one’s life.

Kiyi!

Wedge!

Anyway, I hit 2. It rushed through the air and once again lodged itself in the black dragon’s body.

If possible, I aimed for the head, but due to the wave and the nausea that came up at the moment, the hit point was disturbed and ended up in the nape of the neck.

Kyaaaagh!!!

Still, aggro was steadily attracted. The black dragon roared as if it were angry and began to charge.

“Ugh!”

“come!”

The dragon tried to swallow our ship with its long neck. Of course, since his mouth wasn’t that big, his intention was probably more to ask questions as if he was sweeping the deck. That alone would have killed dozens of humans crowding the deck.

However, a big target has already come, so why miss this opportunity to use it?

I trusted the shield and threw the harpoon at the dragon. There were also those who imitated me. Dozens of harpoons flew through the air for sailors and adventurers alike.

Kiaaaaaa!

bang!

The harpoon thrown by a man I didn’t know who the Inquisitor and I were, pierced the soft flesh – the inside of the mouth – and the dragon’s lunge was slightly distorted. The membrane surrounding the ship shone brighter than ever before, deflecting the dragon.

“Ugh! “The boat is rocking!”

It is fortunate that the shield was created at a distance from the ship. Even if something hits the shield, the ship won’t shake. Of course, the waves were separate, so it wasn’t completely unshakable.

A small tsunami caused by the dragon went over the shell plating and wet the deck, and the men threw harpoons while forcing themselves to keep their balance.

However, most attacks merely bounced off the scales. The Inquisitor still broke the scales.

“…! “Magic power!”

“The magic power of the protection device has increased by 1/4 this one time!”

However, such sad news came from inside.

Even though we minimized the magic power consumption due to the reef by bringing in the best captain, the saved magic power was lost in one go.

“Hold on somehow! “I have to somehow get back to the end!”

But what can I do? If you want to survive, you have no choice but to somehow squeeze out your magic power to maintain the magic shield and use the tail wind device to make the ship move faster.

“…! “At sea!”

But there was not just one misfortune. Yongahbyeong was born from a piece of broken and fallen scale. These things can be dealt with with just one harpoon, but if they continue like that, it will be extremely annoying.

They are even more troublesome now that we need to conserve our defense shields.

“Stop it! must!”

“Keep them away!”

Nucker was so weak that I wondered what would happen if the raid boss was also weak, but he was weak.

The environment was so harsh that the level of difficulty rose vertically. Looking at the scales breaking, I think I would catch it right away if it weren’t for the shaking ground!

“Uh oh!!”

But here the sea shook even more. Pow! There is no need to look at the main culprit who poured water on the deck again and almost capsized the ship on its side.

Kyaaaaaaa!

The sea dragon bit the back of the black dragon’s neck as if it was revenge for what happened earlier. It was a monster battle that started in an instant.

Raid and all, the words “please leave our shrimp-like bellies and fight the whale” were hanging on the tip of my tongue.
