Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 127

◈Episode 127 That’s enough (2)

The blackmailer shook my hand and said that he had fallen off a cliff. If you thought I would be swayed by that, you were wrong.

The worst thing would be for a bastard like that to survive with my help and act as a chieftain or warchief. I don’t know what kind of tribe Jatav is, but at least that bastard Atart will set the lives of the residents back a few dozen steps.

But that doesn’t mean we can ignore the children.

In the end, I pulled out the final card.

“Hey, there you are. “I guess you can’t abandon your children after all?”

Akata—that’s what the Archmage called the child—I felt like he would be taken hostage if I left him alone, so I just brought him with me. It’s a cruel scene, and isn’t survival the priority?

However, even if Akata is safe, the remaining children are still exposed to threats to their lives. The same applies to the child that Atart is holding in his hands right now.

He has six hands and uses two of his hands to lift a child on a wooden horse. If you see a child crying on a wooden horse, it doesn’t mean that he or she is riding because he or she is happy.

“If you use magic, I’ll be in trouble.”

ah. So you’re putting a meat shield on the child’s head for fear of me piercing his head with a magical spear?

“For your information, the priest over there should also be careful. “I may not know anything else, but I know the omens of magic.”

Atart pointed to the back, saying he would kill the children if they even tried to trick him. Children were seen hanging here and there to match the height of adults.

It all seemed like it was done in consideration of what I did when I suppressed the rebels.

It’s been a while since I’ve been such a thorough bastard.

“Then can you help me now? They are a small elite group that has invaded right now. Taking advantage of the fact that we didn’t have a priest, we mainly used magic and also mobilized Jahukata. Still, there aren’t that many. “If you do it well…”

When I saw that, the heat in my eyes grew furious.

‘I’m angry.’

really.

‘Don’t you want to kill me?’

It’s annoying.

‘Don’t hold back.’

I am a horse. I have never once thought that it was wrong for me to live like a brat. The losses I suffered were always at a level I could bear, and sometimes my losses became irreplaceable opportunities for others.

‘You don’t have to endure it.’

But sometimes I get sick of people trying to take advantage of my good intentions.

‘Let’s kill them all.’

Does it seem easy because I stay still? I’ve never been an easy person.

“Demon knight?”

“Fury.”

I recognized the depth and scale of my seething anger. I can’t stand this. It’s already stressful, but I can’t handle situations like this.

“Demon knight!”

“Nullifies all status ailments except rage…”

But it doesn’t matter.

「Ha──@# add status 4#^ to 7% $sum$$^&[email protected]

#$*^[email protected]#[email protected]@#&*?????」

Angry What happens if you force yourself to hold back, and what consequences can your anger bring?

Don’t I already know?

“What on earth are you doing, devil knight—!”

「Error!」

The first thing I did was narrow down the target of my anger, avoiding the children and civilians around me.

‘…how?’

It was different when I was on the island.

At that time, I was angry at many things, including the enemies who were persecuting my children and the bloody sight, and yet I had to suppress my emotions. So my anger intensified even more, and I ended up becoming more than enraged.

But now the position is different.

Now I can let out my anger before it paralyzes my brain. Still, it worked.

‘How can you control your anger?’

In addition, anger is not necessarily a bad thing if you can face the target of your anger and direct it in the right direction with justification and the value of the action.

Releasing water before the dam breaks is not a matter of patience, but a wise act.

‘how.’

So, after specifying the target, I concentrated the magic power fluctuating on my right arm into one point.

‘Something like humans.’

“Demon Knight—!”

And when all the magic power came together to one point, I let out all my anger and sorrow along with it.

The magic power, which had risen slightly to 2941, reached 0, and at the same time, a jet-black cannon was fired.

───!

Along with a thunderous sound, a long black energy ran across the sky like a snake.

The place where the huge snake passed has evaporated, just like a giant took a bite out of the forest.

It was such an overwhelming sight that I had to laugh out loud even when I saw it. Even though it is a worldview in which magic and sword techniques exist, my first thought was that it might be a piece of myth.

“Try it.”

So you son of a bitch. Let’s reorganize the board.

“You will realize that the children’s lives were your lives.”

You’re not the only one who knows how to make threats.

* * *

…I thought I could take it down this time.

“ah. Ah…”

* * *

“…What?”

“Why were you surprised by the unexpected reaction?”

The son-in-law became quiet. The silence was strangely unsuitable for a situation where another tribe was at war.

“Did you think I would be afraid of carrying the bodies of innocent children!”

However, considering what I just did and how the phosphorus pressure at that time destroyed several houses and left people homeless, it is not surprising.

“Kill! Even if the blood of children is added to bodies that have already murdered their own relatives, nothing will change!”

Even if he didn’t have the presence of mind to look at me, he would have had no choice but to look around when his body fell to the floor. What’s more, if everyone around you sees the forest behind you, wouldn’t they pay more attention to that direction?

Lastly, there is no one who has the guts to move even after seeing that scene.

“Remember one thing!”

It won’t be until I finish speaking, right?

“If you kill those children, I will cut your flesh, crush your bones, rip your intestines into pieces, and scatter them on the children’s tombstones as revenge for those innocent people!”

So let’s go. It’s a game of chicken.

Either you don’t know AC and go out to die, or you can’t do anything and save the children as I intended. Let’s go towards the one that pecks more out of the two.

“Then choose!”

But I can assure you. I may not be the winner in the end, but you will be the loser.

“Will you take the lives of children as your companions on your journey to the underworld, or will you just quietly do your own thing?”

No matter which one you choose, you will be defeated.

“What…”

I guess it’s because it’s been a while since the concept and body came together and got angry. I felt heat coming from my cheeks. It was the temperature of anger.

But that’s not really a bad thing.

Even though the situation was terrible, I felt refreshed inside. To be honest, this is the first time I was able to get angry without considering the circumstances.

During Montata, it was somewhat… Yeah. Because of my situation, even if I wanted to get angry, I had to keep a close eye on him.

“Children….”

Whoosh.

I expected this guy more than that, but he’s really confused.

In order to make a strong point, I intentionally brought up the past in the setting, and it seems to have had an effect.

Well, it would be difficult to think that a person who killed even his own blood relatives would be shaken by the death of another person. That’s what I said, too.

I barely suppressed the desire to criticize harshly and placed the two-hender next to me. The magical power that rose up in an instant caused a stream of black energy to flow through the hand holding the two-hender.

It was a clear threat signal.

“I told you to choose.”

Then Atart, who had been criticizing the children, finally shut up.

Perhaps because he doesn’t want to end his life too quickly, he doesn’t even care about his children. I was so shocked that I couldn’t even laugh.

【Just now… What the hell…】

【Black thunder… came out from the stranger’s hand.】

【A snake… Did a snake fly into the sky?】

Meanwhile, those who responded were shaking. Both the invading side and the fighting side just stood there frozen, as if they didn’t have the courage to use their swords.

【Run away!】

At that time, a 15-year-old boy holding a child ran crying. It was probably a reflexive action for the Jatav warrior to pull out his spear at the boy.

Suddenly!

But it is unacceptable. I swung my hand and shot out a magic spear to clearly show that I had done it.

You can think of it as throwing magic at your fingertips like you would throw a knife or a card.

The spear flew quickly and cut down the Jatav warrior’s spear, which was easier on the stomach and consumed less magic than creating it in the air.

The warrior’s expression turned devastated, and the child quickly ran away.

“dare.”

What a funny guy. Do you think that the reason I don’t raise Bibol’s hand because I’m dirty at Atart is because I’m defending you who invaded?

“The fact that I do not take that bastard’s side does not justify your aggression. So try running wild. “The moment they target those who have not taken up arms or have no will to fight back, I will personally take care of them.”

I stared at the Jatav warrior fiercely and persistently. The unwavering pupils seemed to be nailed somewhere, so I kept my gaze as motionless as possible because I had heard that they were the eyes of a murderer.

Whether it was effective or not, the warrior stepped back, dripping with cold sweat.

【…This is a message to the warriors of Jatav. We are visiting the Bigabol tribe as guests… and have no intention of getting involved in this fight. At least as long as you don’t attack those who don’t have the will to resist.]

Oh, by the way, they didn’t understand me? It doesn’t matter though. Because it seems like the Archmage is interpreting.

【Please, I don’t care whether you support or reject me, so please leave alone the civilians who ran away or surrendered. Unless they want us to intervene.]

Of course, this makes me feel like I’m an international organization like the UN… but I wonder what it’s like. The power that has already been revealed is good if it saves people.

【You can’t trust what strangers say!】

【What if you don’t believe it? So then what? I warn you in advance, but the person next to me will not deal with you as politely as I do.】

【…!!】

【I’ll say it again. You have no choice. Please don’t let us make the worst choice.】

Fortunately, the Archmage must have conveyed the message well and Jatav no longer drew his sword at civilians.

【Damn it. That is, in the end, siding with the Jatavs under the guise of neutrality! You are my guests, but you are going to stand by and let our entire tribe die!】

【It seems like you were the one who crossed the line first. Also, it seems that we are not the real ones pushing the Bigbol tribe over the cliff.】

【Aren’t we pitiful!】

I glared at Atart again, watching the children and the elderly gather behind me. I don’t know what he was saying, but judging by his shameless face, it didn’t seem like he was saying anything very nice.

Atart, who had been whining to the Archmage, flinched.

【It was you, Chief Atart, who said that you would kill the children if we did not intervene!! How dare you discuss pity on such a topic!!】

At the same time, the Archmage let out a roar. I wonder what on earth that bastard said.

【The same goes for you who sympathize with the chieftain! 】 Wow,

the Archmage was really pissed.

For some reason, I felt my anger fading away. It was like that last time too, but when the Archmage, who was usually very kind, showed his anger, my heart shrank for no reason.

If it wasn’t for the concept, I would have put my hands together politely and put my head down on the floor.

【This is ridiculous! If those kids die, it’s obvious who will be taken hostage next!】

【…! What!】

【Wait a minute, what are you saying!】

【Lastly, I will leave you with one word. The chief didn’t just risk the lives of those children. They risked the entire village’s children on us.】

I’m even more scared because I don’t know why they’re angry.

【Chief…?】

【It’s a lie. Don’t be upset! The enemy is ahead!】

【….】

But somehow, it seems like morale is failing?

【It’s true!!】

At that time, the kid behind me shouted, “Akata.”

【That person even told me to kill this person!! You said you didn’t help me!!]

Why are you pointing at me?

【…Akata?】

【I don’t know. Yesterday, I heard that there was a high possibility of that happening?】

【But if this happens…】

【My whole family is dead, so what is this tribe doing alive? I don’t mind a tribe like this being destroyed as long as I can see Atart die.】

Um…

【Chief Joe, are those words true?】

【Don’t be agitated! Are you going to fall for the words of a traitor’s son in front of your enemies? You probably already know that the traitors conspired with Jatav!!】

【That bastard doesn’t care about the fate of our tribe! If someone loses, they take all the children hostage, saying they will all die!】

I became the silence in the commotion and became sullen. These guys gave me a corner to run away to, but they ended up ostracizing me… huh.

Suddenly!

At that time, Atart pulled out his sword. Would it be correct to say that he swung what he was originally pulling?

Either way, there is no doubt that the supply and demand of people has been cut short. It was the neck of the guy who was muttering the most passionate things to Atart.

Atart’s face sizzled with anger and he looked around with cold eyes.

【I am your chieftain. Those who will be caught up in the words of strangers and traitors should rather throw away their weapons and go under their wing.】

Do you have charisma…?

I don’t know. Following domestic violence criminals, there are ‘human garbage wastes that can’t even be separated and are just wasting oxygen’ who are holding children hostage. Even if you have charisma, they will say you don’t have it.

But that was my opinion, and the people around me immediately overlooked it. Even though one person died, they chose compliance over opposition.

He wasn’t a chief for nothing. It’s still trash though.

【They can’t attack civilians! Take advantage of that gap!】

【…Yes!】

Atart even seemed to have some abilities. Although the damage was great, they somehow set up camp and began to endure.

Considering the handicap of not being able to ask for my help or having a priest, it was truly an amazing talent. It’s still trash though.

【Son of a bitch….】

Regardless of whether the Bigabol tribe wins or loses, I want Jatav to kill Atart.

I was still looking at the guy holding the children hostage—of course. I was going to kill him the moment he released the hostages—I gritted my teeth. If that guy gets attacked, there’s a high chance that the child will get caught up in it, so it’s a bit like making a wish.

But doesn’t that mean that he survives and wins? Those kids have to live with the bastards who held them hostage as their heads.

Ugh it’s frustrating.

‘Kill it. please.’

How can we really just get rid of that guy?

‘Kill everything that irritates you!’

There really is just that one guy…

“Nari.”

Is it because of my mood? I feel like I’m hearing a voice that I shouldn’t hear right now…

“Knight Sari.”

“…!”

I gently rolled my eyes at the voice that came through my ears. Green ears and a tail could be seen between the houses. Behind him, an unobstructed muscular fighter is peeking out his eyes.

“Uh, that. “Is there anything we can do to help you?”

“Berserk wants to fight.”

They were really funny guys. When did you come here? And why are you hiding like that? Berserker has almost half of its body sticking out…

Wait.

I saw Dev and Berserker again.

If we do this right… won’t we be able to save the children?

“Wizard.”

“…? “Why is that so?”

This isn’t going to happen with my head. I called the person with the highest intelligence stat here. It was time to plan.

【The damn resistance is too strong!】

【Damn. Even if the rebellion fails, we will reduce your power so don’t worry…! This is why you must not trust those from other tribes!】

【Commander Jahukaya is suffering great damage! Make a decision!】

【Take out that means! I didn’t want to use the damn stranger’s items, but I couldn’t help it. Throw it!】 It

was time to squeeze…

【Throw it!】

At the moment of the fierce battle, a small jar fell in the middle of the village.

【Huh?】

【Uh uhhh!】

【Ugh!!!】

“…Is it a curse!!”

Disaster began to spread.
