Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 51

◈Episode 51 Pray and Pray (9)

Instead of the expected coldness, the wind hand exhaled, feeling a terrible hardness.

What the fuck just happened? I was holding the keys and suddenly something hit me. It’s cold and hard, but it’s definitely because it soaks my body…

“God.”

Windson came to his senses from the brilliance that drove away wind and rain and the warmth that enveloped him. The pain, as if every bone in his body had been broken, gradually improved and his head cleared.

“The ground I stand on will be your land.”

If you quickly open your eyes, you can see a pillar of light striking the Heretic Questioner who was accompanying the Demon Knight.

The bright light that flowed from the pillar flooded in all directions, forcing the ship to stay on the water and burning everything that was wrong in the sea.

“Please be with me.”

At least the Heretic Questioner’s bloody tears.

“…is he really human?”

“…Dragon.”

Oh, this is not the time.

With his mind becoming clearer, he succeeded in recalling what he had last seen.

『Go back to the boat.』

The situation was reversed with the breath that was cold for a living person, the hand that violently grabbed my collar, and a whispered word.

Throwing me into the boat, I was swallowed by the sea instead…

Gray eyes that never wavered until the end.

It just makes me sad because I look so much like my father who sacrificed his life to save me.

“The devil knight, the devil knight?!”

He somehow shook off the arm of the vice captain who was not speaking and lifted his upper body. And the next moment I was speechless.

“…Hey hey.”

It’s not that the vice captain wasn’t worried about him or had no intention of helping him. There was just one thing more intense than helping him.

“If you’re going to do this, you better get out there before the ship is destroyed!”

Will we ever live to witness a human facing a dragon alone? Would anyone believe that a warrior fighting on equal footing with a fallen dragon amidst tidal waves and thunderstorms was real?

“The sun is going to set damn soon! “Keep your promise, damn devil knight!”

Despite the hopeless situation, Baramson became cheerful for no reason.

It had to be that way.

“…If I return to land alive, I will have to hear about this day dozens of times.”

No one in the world, not even the God of Heaven, would have ever seen this scene.

* * *

I should have stuck the sword between the eyes earlier.

I quickly moved my feet, thinking about the opportunity I had narrowly missed earlier. My body ran along the dragon’s body, trampling its scales with my military boots.

It was very slippery thanks to the seawater and rainwater, so I had to be careful with each step.

Kyaaaaaaa!

At that time, the black dragon targeted me and raised its head on top of my body. I quickly stood up and dodged the rush.

The dragon, twisted like a proportional symbol (∝), quickly plunged its head into the sea. It was an act he learned from acting similarly a minute ago and almost getting his eyebrows pierced by me.

“Tch!”

I never thought missing an opportunity would hurt this much.

Instead of landing on the side of the head that passed me, I landed where I was originally standing.

Since my head was buried under the water, the only way to travel across the sea was to cross to the other side, so it was an inevitable choice.

As my defeat was certain the moment I was submerged in the water, I had to somehow remain in the sky using its body as a platform.

I ran up the dragon’s body all the way to its severed tail. And when he finally reached the end, he used his magic power to jump as high as he could.

The blood rushed through my body.

Paang!

Before I fell completely, the ocean split and the black dragon’s gaping mouth rose up.

But I am the one who decides where I fall.

I narrowly missed the guy’s mouth and slipped with the blade at the corner of his mouth.

The longsword, filled with black energy, tore through the creature’s skin and expanded its mouth. In human terms, it was as if the corner of the mouth had been torn off below the ear.

That’s it!

However, due to friction and the strength of the scaly skin, it was not possible to make a horizontal line across half of the body.

I parted the corners of my mouth just the length of its snout and stopped. I felt like I was the main character in a movie.

It’s like the main character who slips while rock climbing and ends up sticking his equipment, such as an Eisbile or Pickel, into the rock wall and comes to a precarious halt.

Kyaaaaa!!

But the difference between them and me was this.

Since the rock wall was not alive, they could just climb up again step by step, but I struggled to get the dragon to throw me off.

My body eventually began to fall along with the drawn sword.

“Knight Sir!”

But I wasn’t alone. From a ship that had not yet sunk—what is that light?—a wooden plank flew round and round.

with a splash!

It was a bonus that a plank fell near my crash site. A foothold has been established.

Quang!

Immediately after the collision, the plank was not only pushed down by the seawater due to the tremendous impact, but also split apart.

But before it lost its role as a springboard, I flew up into the sky. My next stepping stone is the dragon’s body, exposed thanks to its head sticking out.

It’s hard to step on it because it’s standing almost vertically, but fortunately I have a sword. I injected magic power into the longsword.

Sigh. A strange clanging sound was heard from the longsword.

Kwasik!

Still, the long sword, which contained magical power, pierced the scales and was firmly embedded. It means that I have room to hold on and hold on.

Kyaaaaaaa!

However, this time the dragon flexed its head and tried to eat me. Jumping was difficult in this condition, but I wasn’t too worried.

It wasn’t just the black dragon’s body that was wriggling under the sea.

Kiaaa!

The sea dragon that had been hiding for a while appeared with a clear roar.

The neck of the black dragon was caught in its mouth, and the head that had been aiming at me changed direction. It was next that the body, which was almost vertical, became tilted.

I climbed up the body, holding on to the bumpy scales, as if I were rock climbing. It was very slippery, but when I thought about having to do this again, I gained strength that I didn’t have before.

Then

I waited and walked forward and then ran. The sword I naturally drew was with me.

The legs wrapped in magical power climbed up the black dragon’s body. However, there was a section that was too steep to jump, so I increased altitude by switching to the Sea Dragon side.

At first glance, the ocean looked so distant that I felt like I was standing in front of a bungee jumping platform.

But I don’t have a fear of heights. This wasn’t scary at all.

My leg jumped over the sea dragon’s head and faced the black dragon that had just been released from the sea dragon head-on.

Due to a slight timing issue, I couldn’t step on the black dragon and ended up floating in the air, but it had already happened so what can I do? Let’s start with dill.

Sigh!

I fired out the magic power contained in the sword, accompanied by a terrible clanging sound.

A half-moon-shaped slash cut diagonally near the black dragon’s neck. It was similar to the wounds commonly made when cutting fish.

Kyaaaaaaa!

The black dragon seemed to be trembling in pain and trying to lie down in the sea.

I still don’t know if he died, but my situation was more important than that.

Anyway, what will happen to my body floating in the air? It just falls into the seawater.

That’s why it never works.

I hurriedly strengthened my body and tried to somehow land on the black dragon’s body. It was thought that using a black dragon as a shield would at least lessen the impact of the fall.

Fortunately, this is probably because the black dragon’s body is large. For some unknown reason, whether it was wind resistance or something else, he fell slower than me.

Thanks to this, I managed to land on the black dragon’s belly and descended in that state.

Quang!

As expected, the black dragon’s body canceled out most of the impact of hitting the water. Unfortunately,

it

was still alive, but it immediately turned over and tried to seep under the water.

I hurriedly jumped up and, luckily, trampled on the dragon soldier who was sticking his head out of the sea—actually, it seemed like he was aiming for me. The dragon bottle that served as a stepping stone sank to the bottom of the water, and my body clung to the body of the sea dragon.

Maybe it was because the sea dragon hung on the scales instead of sinking its sword into it, but it didn’t attack me. However, he did not show me any kindness, such as putting me on his stomach or on his head.

The sea dragon lowered its head into the sea and began to move, as if trying to dive. The part I was holding slowly went up, like a roller coaster that had just started.

“Ha ha ha.”

It was around that time that I realized that my breathing was very difficult.

I guess I was a little tired, no, a little too tired.

It wasn’t unreasonable to say so. HP, which had plummeted due to divine power, has now risen to half, and magic power is almost at an all-out state due to fighting against the dragon.

Even if you don’t have a fear of heights, fighting high in the sky with the risk of falling into the sea is something you can’t help but feel nervous about.

Also, whether my original physical condition was good or not, that wasn’t the case.

The seasickness from the few hours of sailing had not gone away, but I was able to suppress it with just my mental strength. It’s no wonder that all of that comes rushing in now that I’ve finally had time to catch my breath.

Wow.

Still, I don’t want to do this again.

If you think about having to do this twice, your strength will naturally increase. It was similar to the Tatara underground passage.

I don’t have the confidence to retweet this. I don’t even want to do it again before that.

Either going through a sewer and fighting a boss battle with 100 fatigue, or sailing again for several hours while enduring seasickness. Both were the worst!

I forced myself to keep my nerves together and tried to think of ways to replace it. I had to come up with a plan before the body I was stepping on went completely into the water.

“…?”

But I saw a pitch-black shadow beneath the sea. It wasn’t anything new. Since the dragons were diving, it was natural for something to stir under the water.

But the location is wrong. That thing shouldn’t appear there.

I shouldn’t have targeted a ship that wasn’t mine.

“Fucking dragon!”

hey! Are you targeting the main camp, which I can’t avoid just because I’m jumping around and avoiding it?! Are you robbing an empty house? The game is really awesome!!

I quickly looked for something to use as a stepping stone.

Of course, there was nothing like that. The mast’s fragments were too few to fill this open sea, and the strong swells had long since swallowed them up.

dragon? They have no regard for me. The fact that I have been able to jump after stepping on a dragon until now was possible thanks to all kinds of luck.

I was just a being who couldn’t do anything unless the dragon came out. In fact, even now, it feels like I’m on the verge of falling into the sea.

So what should we do then? How can we stop it from climbing up to the bottom of the boat? How can I give that damn dragon a shot…

「Life force conversion│Consumes life force to recover magic power.

Effect: Recovers magic power in proportion to HP consumed.”

Suddenly, a window appeared, blocking part of my vision. Inside, there is a new skill written in the skill window that I have never seen or particularly imagined or desired.

“…It’s ridiculous.”

Suddenly? here? New skills? You’re giving it to me for free?

Wow. If this is going to be the case, either lower the difficulty level or make it more reasonable.

It’s only when a situation arises that you throw it away and say, ‘Hey, use this.’

“What…”

Or are you saying you’ve given up on hiding it?

“It’s not even a beta test!”

However, complaints are complaints and the current situation is the situation.

They don’t even fix the logout bug, so why should a balance patch be a priority? If you know it won’t work anyway, you should use what you are given properly.

I hastily read the explanation again and racked my brain.

Consumes HP to recover magic power. Yes, magical power recovery.

“…You mean to pour all your magic power into it?”

Slash is the only long-distance skill I can use, and from what I tested, the range of the slash was proportional to the magic power consumed.

Although I couldn’t confirm whether it flew this far… I had no choice but to walk. The sea dragon’s body now only has its tail, so there is no room to retreat anymore.

I picked up the sword with the belief that the system could not have given this skill for no reason. Since the two-hender was more advantageous than the den longsword, which makes a large and long slash, I naturally changed the type.

And when the support I was standing on reached its limit, I jumped forward as much as I could and swung the two-hender sideways.

A stronger energy than ever before reached the black dragon that was trying to capsize the boat as it split the ocean.

‘I got cut.’

With a clear certainty hanging from my fingertips, my vision was filled with a sea of black.
