Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 75

◈Episode 75 From the beginning (10)

“This is a violation of contract.”

Violation of contract? what?

“Stop playing around!”

Don’t shout too loudly. A dog that barks too loudly….

* * *

“What? Awaken the Great Devil─.”

“Tell me more details!”

The Deathbringer couldn’t even click his tongue as he looked at the person who had passed me and was clearly facing the man. Byeok Chang-ho’s face, which was usually not pretty, like that of a distressed child, became frighteningly hard.

And he knew very well at what moment that expression would appear. The Inquisitor used to make that face when he heard about how dangerous the devil was.

“I don’t know the details. “That’s all I overheard.”

“Then tell me anything you know. “This is very important.”

The man looked a little shaken by the sudden intervention of someone who was pushing him hard.

However, perhaps because he had the purpose of survival, he did not stop his tongue and lips even though he was a little embarrassed.

“All I heard is that if this is successful, the Great Demon who left home will return… and that he will be able to steal the warrior’s sword.”

The warrior’s sword. I didn’t even need to see what the word meant. For a warrior using a mace, there was only one person who could be called a sword.

Even if the sword has a bad temper and instead of listening to the hero’s words, he wields the hero himself.

“…The demon knight is dangerous.”

“We need to find him right now.”

The Deathbringer had a rare opportunity to merge with the Inquisitor. It wasn’t a very good thing.

This was an incident that could have been a misfortune beyond the failure of the plan.

“Hey, what are you talking about?”

“Did the plan go wrong?”

Is it because the two people, who had been calm when they saw the demon knight running rampant in the castle, looked serious? The thieves who had finished their disguises secretly gathered together.

As people who make a living by being clever, they seem to have already been infected with Deathbringer’s anxiety.

And that wasn’t good news either. Low morale was a factor that could cause even a successful operation to fail. We need to regain momentum somehow.

But how? How on earth can you be Tyler? It’s hard for him to get over his shock right now, isn’t it?

He bit his dry lips.

The Devil Knight knew how dangerous a gamble this was from the moment he came up with the plan.

However, since the one leading them was a demon knight, the strong knight would be by their side, so they did not see much risk.

This is because I could never have imagined that the man would lose.

But was that really the case? Was there really no chance that the knight would be defeated?

“We need to get out of this place right away.”

Deathbringer lowered his gaze as he saw someone who he thought was inferior to him in these things give firm instructions.

Instead of relying on the Demon Knight’s strength, he had to remember how weak the Demon Knight was against a prepared enemy.

Instead of hunting down a dragon alone and walking confidently through a city full of demons, I had to think of him lying on a white bed with a pale face in Tatara.

In doing so, he had to do everything he could to join this group, even with his limited strength….

“The enemy already knew that the demon knight would come here! Our location may also be known! We must move now! hurry!”

“what?”

“What the fuck….”

“And as you go, I will ask for your cooperation. “Please come out.”

But I couldn’t. Because he was unable to understand the situation more closely and handle the information properly.

In doing so, the Demon Knight was vividly exposed to the hostility aimed at him. Even if he only heard about the shortcomings, he was sent alone without any preparation due to very blatant malice.

“and you.”

What now? What should I do if a demon knight really gets me? If that knight was eaten by the devil and turned into an enemy…

how on earth are they supposed to get through it?

“Hey hey! Hey thief!”

I don’t know. Nothing comes to mind. They may not be safe these days either, but we need to come up with an alternative so that they can at least save their lives.

An opportunity that was lost through negligence flashed before my eyes as someone who may have ended up in critical danger because of it.

“Come to your senses!”

And a tremendous pressure came from my cheek. The tooth didn’t break, but the force was enough to split the lip.

“You fool! This is the middle of enemy territory! No matter what variables arise or what adversity comes your way, don’t give up! Did you understand?”

Then I was grabbed by the collar. Green eyes, much brighter and brighter than his, clearly illuminate him from the front.

“If you come to your senses, tell me what to do next! “I’m not good at infiltration, and aren’t you the expert in this kind of thing?”

In his reflection there, he looked really stupid, even to himself.

“…What a spellbinding thing! “I was thinking about it?!”

“Then tell me quickly, don’t just keep it in your head!”

“Oh, I understand. “I’ll tell you as I go.”

Deathbringer calmly gathered his mind and body through the conversation that continued as usual. As he came out of his panic, he finally began to see what he needed to see.

“First of all, don’t go in, Mr. Dae-yeok.”

How did the enemy know that the devil knight was coming? There are two main possibilities.

We were prepared from the moment the demon knight landed on the island. Secondly, Ganja from the secret port announced that they could come here.

“Hey man. “When did the preparation for the spell to awaken the Great Evil begin?”

“I think… it started the day before yesterday.”

The day before yesterday. Two days ago. It’s similar to when they left the secret port. In that case, it is highly likely that those who occupied Ayu Hin prepared hastily after hearing the report from the spy at the secret port.

“Then we would know…”

Whether there was a traitor among the participants in the strategy meeting, or he overheard them, or saw them leaving the port and reported them, he would have also informed the demon knights that they were leaving together.

It is safe to say that the existence of intruders other than the demon knight has already been revealed.

“Have you overheard anything about preparations for intruders or anything like that?”

“I’m fine with that…”

“Even if it’s just something oblique.”

“I don’t think there is one… Ah, those bastards said that if the rats came in, they wouldn’t turn into zombie food.”

Is that right? I knew it too. However, despite knowing it, I let them come here…

“Was the guards’ discipline good?”

“Ha, they were pirates just before that. Do you think they have any discipline?”

It may be a trap or the result of lax vigilance. For example, because we didn’t know their travel route, we only had security guarded, but the subordinates ignored them and said, ‘Oh, I don’t know.’

“great.”

And it seemed to him like the latter. This is not only because I passed over their acting without much suspicion, but also because the attitude of the guys who stood guard earlier was not very good.

Of course, it could have been a trap intended to bring them here. However, if it was really a trap, why has nothing happened since it arrived?

In other words, no matter how you look at it, this is the price of lax discipline. They are the lucky ones who grabbed that ridiculous coincidence.

“Hey, Byeok Chang-ho. There’s something wrong with this person, right? “Something like a curse or magic.”

“does not exist. “I can be sure.”

“great.”

Lastly, there was less possibility that the person who was supposed to be the guide would become the devil’s follower’s henchman or a tail without his knowledge.

The Deathbringer lifted the lock and locked the cage again. The people inside screamed because they thought they had been abandoned, but it was not the time to be considerate of them.

“Let’s move before people wake up.”

“Are you going to go through the secret passage?”

“I’m not going back the way I came.”

“then?”

It is not a certain fact that the opponent does not know the route. So he quickly ruled out the way he came.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t share all the information with you.”

Instead, just in case, he remembered the location of the hiding place that only he had heard about. I just hope that Jae-kyung or the security guard who told me about those hiding places are not traitors.

“Is this really okay?”

“Why don’t you give it a try or two? As many retreats as possible. “If you do this, it will happen often.”

“I’ve probably been through more than you.”

“Then shut up and follow me.”

Deathbringer ignored the opinions of others and grabbed the man’s arm to force his pace. The man, who had barely even eaten blood, seemed to have trouble keeping up with his walking pace, but he was in a hurry.

“We will first go to a safe place and then plan the next steps.”

Will the Demon Knight hold out until then? The unspeakable anxiety went down the back of my throat.

* * *

Luk-Quan opened his eyes with a dull pain. Sigh. The sound of thin chains echoed in her ears.

“…!”

At the same time, I came to my senses. The events are quickly listing in her mind before her mind starts blinking.

Apparently, she left the demon knight behind and tried to search the office or something to avoid security…

“Are you finally awake, Kitty?”

She gritted her teeth at the derogatory term that reduced humans to mere beasts. There is no need to look at the situation. Isn’t there a face in front of her that even a five-year-old child from Yabad would recognize?

“Pirate King…!”

The tanned skin and cut off left ear characteristic of sea people. Hair shaved off to the side due to the scar drawn on the left side of the scalp.

The identity was clear. If her mother had found out about her pregnancy even a little sooner, she would have aborted the baby and boiled it to eat.

“I didn’t expect you to wake up first, but it doesn’t matter.”

Have you ever been caught by an abominable traitor? That’s probably good.

It was a path I joined anyway, prepared to die. What mattered was whether or not I could rip the bastard’s sails off.

And there was only one man who could rip the damn devil’s sails to shreds.

“It looks like they are looking for the driver.”

The Demon Knight tore apart the sea monster and sank several enemy ships. Where has the noble monster gone now? Could it be that he too failed?

“The knight you are looking for is over there.”

As she gestured, someone came up and grabbed her face. It looks like she tried to force her head to change, but she was from the Shagi tribe.

Among the human species, the Shagi tribe is the most superior in terms of physical ability alone.

Kwasik!

So she roughly shook off the other person’s hand and bit the other person’s hand. I felt like the teeth were piercing my skin and muscles, as if I wasn’t wearing any kind of gauntlet.

“Kwaaaak!”

A scream erupted. Vipurit’s expression, which had always been smiling disgustingly as if he was benevolent, turned cold.

“Put it away.”

There was a sound of something being swung at her single word. Pow! As the sound of skulls cracking and the scent of blood spreads, there are no more screams.

dump.

The corpse of a handsome young man lay scattered at Luk Quan’s feet.

“catch.”

There was no time to be surprised by it. A hand, more vicious and strong than before, grabbed her head. I couldn’t resist this time. The difference in power was too big.

“Now, take a good look. “I’m the driver who will catch you.”

She eventually forced herself to turn her head. Although I expected it, I was forced to see a very terrible ritual taking place in one corner of the room.

“The bastard who got stuck with the octopus and ate it…!”

A magic circle that drinks the blood flowing from the bodies and pieces of meat piled up around it and continues to shed an ominous light.

Moreover, at the center of the magic circle is a face that has become quite familiar throughout the day. He was a devil knight whom I trusted and believed in so much.

“What are you doing!”

“We are sending it back to where it belongs. A bowl is just a bowl, but what’s important is its contents. “The dish should not be the main dish.”

contents? bowl? Although I could sense something, it was difficult to fully understand it. Knowledge of magic was the exclusive property of the Magic Tower and was rarely passed on to the general public.

But I can assure you that this is never a good thing. Click! Luk Quan’s body shook violently. However, even with a height of approximately 190 cm, he could not overcome the shackles and chains.

“Don’t worry. You don’t need to know much. All you have to do is die as entertainment for the true owner of that body when he wakes up.”

Who would stay still even after hearing those damn words? Luk Quan further increased the intensity of his resistance. However, the handcuffs and hands holding his head did not lead to any resistance to success.

“It’s more disappointing than that. Even if he wasn’t a vessel for the Great Devil, he would be a great face to have around…”

“It would be nice to see a young man in an old, worn-out subject.”

The atrocity of capturing all pretty and handsome men and dragging them into their bedrooms is already well known in this land. Also, if they make even the slightest mistake, they die.

Luk Quan spat with contempt. Even though it didn’t reach the damn devil’s face, spit splattered on the hem of his clothes.

“How dare you…”

Rustle.

Just before Vipurit’s eyes rolled back, a thin, crumbly appearance appeared.

It was at the very next moment that the hair, which had been divided into gray and black, turned completely black.

From the roots to the tips of the hair, in line with the raised upper body. Like drops of ink spreading in water, blackness consumed all the colors that were on the border between white and black.

“Ah finally.”

As if the devil had taken control of him.

“Focalor, one of the 72 knights, knows ‘wrath’.”

Luk-Kwan thought he dyed his hair black for no reason. The color was chosen because the most common hair color in this country is black, but the coloring was completed at this time.

“The offering has been prepared, so please indulge to your heart’s content.”

…But is it really colored? It’s long past the point where the dye starts to take effect. Even if he had a constitution that did not respond well to magic, the color had already changed.

But is it really an aftereffect of the hair color changing according to the timing of waking up?

“ah.”

At that moment, the person who woke up finally made his first sound. It was a short sound, like the helpless sound of a newborn child and the dying words of a dying person.

Then, the arm encased in iron armor rose and touched his head. It was a movement that was usually done when the goal was pulled. The vague gaze staring into space and the crumpled eyebrows added to the guess.

“Do you have a headache? “It could be the aftereffects of being forced to wake up, so let’s take a look.”

Someone jumped out from one side of the wall that Luk-Quan had not paid any attention to. Standing like a shadow, anyone could tell that it was a devil follower.

“First, hold my hand and wake up—!”

Phew!

“Oops!”

Did the demon follower reach out to the demon knight and try to help him?

As soon as he grabbed it and stood up, something came out through the demon follower’s back. It was a bloody blade.

Everyone in the hall stood on their knees.

“Hey.”

And the person who easily took the initiative finally opened his mouth.

“I don’t like people touching my body.”

Funny enough, it was a truly soft voice.

“So, please be careful next time.”

Even though it was only for one day, the voice was soft enough to swear that the demon knight would never say anything like that.

“Hmm.”

As the blade was pulled out, the body of the demon follower fell to the floor. The same was true for Luk-Quan’s hope.

I don’t know what those devil bastards did, but the devil knight is no longer on their side. There will no longer be any way out for them.

“Great Great Devil, why…”

Just as the dead demon follower had been standing in front of the wall holding his breath just before, someone who was waiting similarly opened his mouth.

At that, the demon knight… no, the thing that took over his body tilted its head.

“Are you asking me a question?”

Meanwhile, your voice is really good. Resigned, she looked for something to joke about. These were not empty words.

Until now, I couldn’t properly recognize the voice because the sizzling emotions and sharply sharpened flesh in the voice came first, but…

“It’s fun.”

The voice that cleared away all that was quite sweet and soft. The kind of thing that can win people’s favor with just your voice.

When I looked back, I felt the same way about the wrinkles etched in my face from nervousness and the shadows of anger I didn’t know the source of had disappeared.

Only a very young and handsome young man remained there, with an extremely clear and bright smile on his pale cheeks.

If it weren’t for the blood that splattered down his cheeks as he stabbed the demon follower to death, I might have thought that his face was idyllic.

“Please forgive me.”

“That’s because I’m generous. “I will accept it.”

“ah…! “Thank you, thank you!”

But in the end, that is just the outer shell.

Phew!

“Don’t just accept it.”

“Oops!”

The person who stabbed another person to death looked around with a soft smile soaked in blood. A thin layer of red flesh appears from the dagger in his hand.

It was an extremely horrifying sight because of its contradictions. Physiological fear began to bloom.

“So, um. What did you say… Portugal?”

“…This is Focalor.”

“Yes, Focalor. “Are you angry?”

“Is that possible? “Everything in this castle and this city is a sacrifice prepared for Gretchen.”

“Yes, yes…”

Meanwhile, the collection of malice smiled even more beautifully, as if satisfied.

“Then this too?”

And eventually its gaze landed on her.

“Of course.”

I felt that death was really close at hand.

“Hmm, you’re a cat?”

The person who approached lightly touched her right cheek with the back of his left hand.

If he wanted, he could chew his hand like before, but Luk Quan couldn’t bring himself to do that. It felt like an intangible energy was oppressing her body.

There is nothing you can do other than stay still. Fear coursed through her veins and took over her entire body.

“This castle was also for me, right?”

“sure.”

“Yes, that’s right….”

Vipurit and that thing had a conversation. I don’t know what you’re thinking. I didn’t have the courage to look at the face I would face if I raised my head.

“I like cats… so let me go.”

And then an order came out of nowhere. The heart that was waiting for death beat at a different beat.

“yes? “Will you release me?”

“…Are you asking me a question just now?”

“Release me immediately.”

With a jingle, the key was hastily inserted into the shackles. What comes with it is a fragile hope called ‘perhaps’.

Luk Quan hurriedly looked up at the demon knight’s face.

“It’s a game of tag, Goyang.”

My expectations were immediately dashed.

“If you don’t get as far away as possible while I wait 30 seconds, I will kill you.”

From the beginning, there was only a devil with a black and ominous aura.
