Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 52

◈Episode 52 Pray and pray again (10)

「LEVEL UP!」

I thought quietly with the window blocking one side of my view.

I think I can finally understand the saying that it is safer to dive deep when the waves are strong.

Compared to the chaos above, there was a surprisingly calm and cozy feeling below the surface.

Purr.

I exhaled, putting my mind back into the house after having been out of the house for a while as the waves hit me here and there. Blisters came out of the mouth and rose upwards in a different way.

‘We have to move.’

The two-hender that I was barely holding in my hand and the long sword that was on the verge of falling out of its scabbard. And the weight of a large adult male carrying all kinds of objects inside is a condition that makes it impossible for it to float on its own.

If you didn’t want to sink, you had to wave your arms and legs or something.

‘in action.’

However, unlike reason, the body did not comply easily. A ray of light that penetrated the gray sea but eventually scattered like an aurora. It’s a calm but noisy noise unique to the ocean. It was so sweet, unlike all the noises that were muffled.

So much so that it could just sink like this forever.

“A hostile target exists within a 30m radius.”

…But how did they get here? In the distance, I vaguely see a black dragon that I cut down.

Isn’t it a bit much to die from being distracted by a moment of peace?

I opened my eyes, adjusted my sword, and turned around.

Disparate white things were vaguely visible in all directions, black and white. They are all mercenaries.

However, the situation was not very good. Normally, I would have dealt with people who were just one shot away, but this is underwater, I am short of breath, and I have neither HP nor magic power.

I can’t even use my ‘survival instinct’ because the cooldown isn’t full. Let’s get out of the water first.

I hastily kicked my legs. The two-hender was too heavy, but that was solved by stuffing it into the inventory. I kept the longsword because I had to use it when dealing with mercenary soldiers.

Thump thump.

With a crunching sound, my legs and arms rose out of the sea level. The higher we went, the stronger the waves made it more difficult to move.

“Puh-ha!”

And the moment I put my face out of the water, the damn waves threw me back inside. no. It was Yongahyeong. I felt a burning sensation in my ankles.

「Activate the indomitable spirit!」

“…!”

This damned lizard will take my extra life.

I swung my longsword, hoping that the HP restored by my indomitable spirit would not run out.

The blade struck the dragon soldier with some resistance.

Pow!

Is it because I didn’t have enough strength or because I didn’t have magic power around me?

One cut of the knife only nicked half of Yong Ah-byeong’s skin. I forced myself to swing my sword once more. Only then did Yongahyeong’s head prick and he let go of my ankle.

Wow!

However, Yongahyeong’s surprise attack had just begun.

I hurriedly climbed up, hitting the head of the newly attacking guy.

Huh. A little bit of air came into my mouth along with the water, and I lowered my sights back below the surface of the water. I saw mercenaries attacking me without fail.

Sigh!

One of them bit my right arm.

Of course, I swung my sword to cut off his head. Squeak. Suddenly, the sound of metal that I had not paid attention to until now became particularly annoying.

Kwasik!

And when I managed to kill the guy who bit my right arm and tried to cut down the guy who attacked me next. There was no

clear

sound. The blade of the long sword was broken in two. pestilence. It was the moment when the straight sword became a broken straight sword.

Bubble bubble.

I cursed with my lips along with water droplets. As expected, the durability was lowered a lot, but it was still around 70.

Not 50, but 70!

But it suddenly breaks?

Even if it breaks, why at a time like this?

This was out of the question!

Although I couldn’t help but feel absurd, I first turned my head.

To my surprise, Yongahyeong chewed the water instead of my head. I was very fortunate, but the feeling of not knowing what to do now took over my mind in an instant.

Two-hender? That is no alternative. It might not be noticeable on land, but in the water, it was just a weapon that was heavier and longer and more difficult to handle.

Then you fight with something broken? Did you turn? It is true that the longer it is, the more inconvenient it is, but the remaining blade appears to be less than 10cm long, and the edge of the long sword does not stand properly in that part!

Por!

I gritted my teeth when I saw the dragon soldier approaching with air bubbles. Pow! The hilt with the broken blade flew through the water and hit the guy right between the eyes.

Yong Ah-byeong’s body reflexively twisted.

Okay then, this is the right time to take up arms! I quickly felt inside my clothes, took out a dagger, and held it. It was a final struggle to get hold of something, even though it was a throwing type.

With his right hand, he snatched up the broken blade. I wondered if I could fight with this, but there was no other way.

Two dragon soldiers rushed at me with their mouths wide open.

I swung my dagger at the guy who was attacking me from the left, threatening him, and quickly pointed my sword at the guy who was close to the front.

Kwasik!

Due to my quick movements, its snout bit the blade instead of my body. Squeak! The fierce bite chews on the blade and somehow tries to bite my head off.

I feel like I want to put a dagger in that guy’s neck, but there are too many guys attacking me from my empty left side and my back. I trembled with my arms and swung the dagger.

Puhak.

To make matters worse, I was barely able to hold my breath and demanded oxygen. It was a really crazy and exciting situation. My vision, where everything overlapped, became blurred from the edges.

“lily!”

with a plop!

But even if the sky falls, there is still a hole to rise up from.

Something jumped into the water near me with a huge bubble of air and approached me urgently.

The harpoon pierced the top of the head of the dragon soldier who was chasing me with the blade in his mouth. If you look at the face along the forearm wielding the harpoon, you will see a rather familiar and welcome face.

It was Dev, with pale blue chains wrapped around his upper body.

Por Porureuk.

Dev pursed his lips as if trying to say something. Actually, I couldn’t hear it well. My vision is not good even for lip reading.

Instead, there was one thing that was clear.

“…!”

I threw away the dagger and hastily pulled Dev in with my empty hand. Kwasik! My right arm was bitten by a mercenary soldier.

The next thing that happened was Dev closed his eyes and pulled at the chains around his body.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

With the sound of chains, Dev and my body holding on to Dev began to quickly swim through the water. It was a little faster than Yongahyeong.

Unless something special happened there, it was clearly headed for a ship… I don’t know how on earth I knew my location and got here, but I thought I could survive.

So, as long as you don’t run out of breath.

Wormwood.

Did he unconsciously struggle to get out of the water due to lack of breath? Something came into my mouth. It was an object leaking oxygen.

“…!”

Dev, you great guy!

I was moved to tears. I was so touched that he ran to save me, saying he hates water, and that he had the good sense to bring something to help me breathe.

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

However, there is one person who inadvertently intervenes in this situation.

With my renewed breath, I looked down again with clearer vision. It was natural because the target mark was visible there and the sound was also heard there.

And then a crazy sight caught my eye.

A black dragon with a human body cut off around the waist was swimming towards me, moving only its upper body.

He wasn’t some kind of zombie, he was a very disgusting guy!

Oh, of course, when I looked closely, I saw that the flat stomach had legs that weren’t there before, and that a new tail had sprouted from the cut cross section.

If you ask me, I would say it is the appearance of a dragon soldier. I didn’t know that it was possible to remodel the entire body, not just the scales.

Wait a minute, so did the cut off tail that hit the wind hand earlier actually become a dragon disease? It’s not even a slime, it’s splitting.

His persistence is the same as that of the four-letter magician who tried to split his soul and enjoy eternal life.

Porreuk.

In any case, if you stay like this, you will only get hurt. I made a decision, cursing with air bubbles.

Dev, who noticed my choice, grabbed the hem of my clothes tightly, but it wasn’t that difficult to shake him off.

Dev was dragged away in chains, and in an instant, I was left alone in the sea.

Fortunately, the remnants of the black dragon are running towards me and not Dev. The distance is rapidly getting closer.

Grumble. Grumble.

Now please.

I managed to take the two-hender out of my inventory and hold it. It was very difficult to swing, but it became manageable after gaining magical power through ‘life conversion’.

In return, I had exactly 1 HP left, which was thin, but I wondered what to do. Because there was no way back for me anyway.

Poreuk.

die.

So I really made the last, final attack. The extended sword strike with a slight sense of resistance split the dragon in half from the top of its head to its chin, spreading blood.

Because the dragon’s blood was black, an unintended dark battle took place.

* * *

The Archmage gazed anxiously at the sky and sea, where the storm seemed to be slowly clearing.

The young man who had spotted a demon knight sticking his head out over the sea and volunteered to bring him was just crossing the sea. And that too, using the scaffolding that wizards created by gathering magical power.

And soon the body entered the sea. The adventurers were tense.

“When the signal comes, you pull.”

“Fuck this…”

The chains were prepared considering that it would be difficult to get through the dragon soldiers. Even if it was something improvised using magic, if it was successful, it would be enough to save the two people.

“come!”

“Pull!”

And the promised signal was fulfilled.

The adventurers and crew members with all their spare strength pulled the chains in unison. With magic added, the speed is quite fast.

“Cluck cluck cluck.”

However, when it was confirmed that only one person had returned, the Archmage fell to his knees without realizing it.

“Hey hey!”

“It’s still too late.”

Someone tried to support the young man. The person who shook it off was the young man himself.

Green eyes shined clearly between wet dark green hair.

Just like the Inquisitor, who does not give up hope and still prays despite the dire situation.

“It’s not too late!”

“what?”

“You can still get it!”

“Wait no. “The mercenaries have arrived nearby!”

“Damn knight Sari is still alive!”

“The mercenaries are approaching!”

So how could she give up?

The warrior even vomited blood to launch this ship and maintain a sanctuary where enemies cannot approach.

A thief who was almost like an ordinary person volunteered to do a dangerous job without regard for his own life.

A demon knight is fighting a dragon on the ocean floor in a human body.

how she

“Give me 10 seconds.”

I suffered internal injuries when the shield was broken, but it has gotten better. Saving one’s body is also a meaningful way to live.

Grumble.

“Ah, Archmage!”

She forcibly gathered her magic power and condensed it. I had to memorize the spell to make the magic more accurate, but since my mouth was full of blood, I skipped the spell.

Still, it didn’t matter.

Magical arrows, almost like a bombardment, pierced through all the mercenary soldiers that came up to the sea. Her stomach churned and blood stained her white fur, but this was a small price to pay.

“Archmage!”

“It’s okay….”

Those young things are more precious than an old man’s life.

She sat down, her vision blurring. The group added to his aging body will no longer allow any further action.

Still, it was good.

Suddenly, a part of the ocean rose up. The beam of light that seeped through the cloud-cleared sky colored the world in golden light.

“That…”

“It couldn’t be us…”

It was a dragon that stuck its head out through the sea water.

An uncorrupted divine beast wearing blue instead of black.

Kiiii.

The dragon’s mouth opened with a clear cry. Through the open mouth, I could see a red tongue and something black grasping tightly.

The hair, which was a different color on the left and right, and one eye that was covered were particularly vivid.

“Knight Sir!”

“Demon knight!”

The beast that did not deny it easily poked its head into the sanctuary. The young man and the wind hand fearlessly put their upper bodies into the beast’s mouth and caught the man.

Tuk. The dragon’s head, cut in half, fell onto the deck.

“Hey are you alive?”

“Are you alive?”

The Archmage forced his eyes to close. At the very least, I wanted to check on the safety of the person who took the lead in the most dangerous task before going to sleep.

“Please answer me.”

“Cough.”

“lily!”

ah. I knew it.

“Don’t make a fuss….”

“Is this what Nari is going to say?! “I thought I was going crazy!”

There was no way he would have died easily due to that temperament.

Only then was she relieved and able to lower her eyelids. It seemed like it would be a bit… a bit of a long sleep.

* * *

Oh crazy.

The split body was in Phase 3, so it was a car that went up to the surface after confirming that the dragon soldier did not resurrect again.

What the hidden Dev gave me was enough, but shouldn’t I still report my survival?

Of course, the sinking dragon carcass was such a waste—since they only drop materials by slaughtering the carcass—that I went up with a split head.

The title ‘Dragon’s By-Product’ was too big to throw away because it was a setting that did not pick up miscellaneous items. The fact that it was surprisingly light compared to its size also played a role.

Moreover, my long sword is also completely broken. It would be perfect if I could make a priest’s sword out of this dragon’s head.

Unless I was sure whether there would be a quest reward or not, I had to take this with me.

But when I went up and kicked my feet like that, what looked like arrows rained down on me.

He was scared and dived to avoid it, only to witness the sea dragon tearing one of the black dragon fragments to pieces.

I was quietly going to the boat, and when I saw the divine power overflowing, I cried and tried to give myself to the waves, but the sea dragon forced it into its mouth—at this point, I was so surprised that it almost attacked me. It ended up being a misfire due to low magic power and HP, but it was delivered directly.

There were no options.

I appreciate the favor, but my HP is in trouble.

“Cough.”

Wow. As soon as you enter the realm of divine power, look at the blood coming out.

Isn’t the penalty really too harsh? Why is there more HP lost to allies than to enemies?

“lily!”

But really? Are you really going to die like this? How did I survive this far? How did I kill the dragon?

Ha, this is it… I was left helpless with the HP window crawling on the floor. The thought of dying in vain like this makes me feel weak.

However, fortunately among the misfortunes, the moment HP reached 1, the stamina did not drop any further. Even after falling twice, it was like that.

This isn’t like giving a bottle or medicine. Is it your last conscience? Even if the blood is reduced from divine power, it won’t be less than 1?

I really have a lot to say, but it’s a setting that I don’t want to say.

“Don’t make a fuss….”

“Is this what Nari is going to say?! “I thought I was going crazy!”

Still, I’m a little relieved if I don’t die right away. I slowly absorbed the concept.

“sun.”

One of the people who helped me was Baramson.

“You probably haven’t lost yet.”

Do you think I didn’t hear what you said earlier? I kept my promise.

Although it is a meaningless promise given the one-day delay. Anyway, the dragon itself was killed in half a day.

“…Fuck yes. I haven’t lost yet. “I said I didn’t lose…”

I saw Windson burst into laughter. It was somewhat rewarding.

“Do you think it feels good to write a damn legend?”

It was worth it…

Hey, I just found it, but why is the Archmage being taken away? And what is the Inquisitor doing trapped in the pillar of light? Why are all the priests fainting?

Can we go back??

“Hey dragon!”

At that time, people were making noise and shouting. It rattled. The sound that sounded like a ship was a bonus.

“Fish and turtles are carrying the boat…”

“…Are you planning on taking them to land?”

“Oh my god, a sea dragon is leading a ship…”

…I don’t know what it is, but let’s see what the dragon can do.

「❖ Corruption washed up from the sea

∎ Finding the source of negativity and purifying it

∎ Returning to Grutteltz」

Then, can we really go home? Wow, I’m glad. If you had told me I couldn’t come back from here, I would have cried.

“Priest!”

“Interrogator!”

At that time, the Inquisitor fell down. The brightness that enveloped the ship disappeared.

“Attette!”

“You must not touch it carelessly!”

“Oh my god…”

The person who was breathing hard with his body rising with heat seemed to have gone through some kind of hardship that I don’t know about. And I think that’s probably what protected this ship.

“…It’s annoying, but I have to admit it. “The temple is also helpful in its own way.”

Otherwise, there is no way Baramson would say something like that.

“Well, he’s a warrior in his own way.”

“…what? Warrior?”

“It’s okay, Nari. Let’s go and get some rest this time. please.”

“You have to say this until the end!”

“Don’t you look at your height? “Aren’t you going to get behind the wheel?”

“The key is broken, but what does the view look like!”

Anyway, at that point I thought the raid was really over.

Even though Chojang’s plan was completely lost, he achieved everything he had hoped for.

“okay.”

“…?”

Of course, it seems like there will be a lot of things to do even in the city. I have to go help Baramson right away.

“Rest a little.”

Still… I guess I can get some rest today.

“…It’s not me. I won’t be fooled. “There’s no way you could ever tell me to rest.”

“….”

“Ha, when you’re in a good mood, why don’t you hurry up and go in instead of giving people a hard time? You really are the type of person who doesn’t know when to hug someone.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“You don’t have to know.”

…ha life is rotten.
