Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 153

Episode 153: Things that don’t flow (3)

Deathbringer remembered many things in a moment.

“…?”

But the moment his eyes met those of inorganic gray eyes, he forgot all that.

『He finally gained the power.』 Funny

enough, those words were the only words that lingered in my head.

『Despite the same struggle, he can achieve more and deeper revenge.』

Even though I knew how much suffering you suffered due to the devil, how much despair and countless sorrows you had to go through, jealousy was the first to rear its head.

Wow.

Even if it’s because I’m embarrassed, I can’t stand in front of you.

He quickly left the place before the Demon Knight realized the situation, that is, before people came and exposed his true identity.

As always, the driver didn’t catch him.

“Wherever you go, young hunter!”

That article.

I didn’t catch it.

“Wow!”

“Berserk didn’t understand a thing! Explain and go!”

“Hey, I don’t know!!”

As soon as I went out into the street and passed the people, the ground shook. It was a weight that made you know that it was Berserk without even looking back.

Since he runs faster than the Inquisitor and does not have to worry about the path like priests—or ordinary people—he must have chased after them first.

“Explain and go!!”

“I don’t know!!”

As a result, my legs naturally gained more strength. For some reason, the distance that would normally have caught up with me right away is not easily narrowed.

Even to myself, I felt like it was very ‘faster’.

“Young hunter!!”

So he gained even more strength.

I don’t know why it suddenly became faster. Oh no. This may have been due to the fact that when enforcing the provisional contract, they said they would strengthen their bodies instead of restricting disclosure.

But how does this mean ‘a little’? The running speed has become so fast that I can feel it.

Deathbringer laughed and rushed into the alley.

I didn’t expect it, but now was an opportunity to adjust my physical abilities and run on equal footing.

Besides tracking, hiding is his specialty, so he escapes through an alley and somehow disappears. Deathbringer was convinced that this was the only way for me to survive.

Coincidentally, he was even born in this city. 10 years was a time when something changed but nothing changed.

can do.

You can leave them.

The Deathbringer’s eyes glowed maliciously.

“Hunter!”

Of course, Berserk quickly followed suit.

This is because he has excellent physical abilities, so he can catch almost any sign, and his crazy intuition allows him to pinpoint hidden things to a certain extent.

“Are we here?”

But she was ultimately a warrior, not a hunter.

“It looks like this place…”

So, although there may be a variable called persimmon, it is not impossible to hide from her eyes. What’s more, doesn’t he have a record of deceiving even demon knights?

There was also an item that could tell the location of people beyond the wall.

Therefore, Deathbringer held his breath even harder and turned away from the person who stuck out his head right behind him.

“Hmm…”

Berserk pointed to the window attached to the wall he was clinging to and the window frame he had climbed over.

Crack.

The angler’s strength was so strong that the window frame was slightly crushed by just placing a hand on it and applying a little force.

But in the end, he was the one who won.

Berserk slowly moved away.

Phew. The breath I had been holding for a long time returned slightly.

bang!

“As expected, isn’t it there?”

However, just as he was about to take out the item, the figure that seemed to be moving away came back and pointed at the window frame. The Deathbringer’s movements completely stopped, with even the slightest movement of its fur stopping.

“Phew.”

The good news, though, is that Berserk never lowered its head.

It was dark under the lamp, and Deathbringer was relieved that she was sloppy.

“Anyway, my intuition is like a ghost…”

However, even though it was weak, she had a similar intuition. Even though they left, they didn’t give enough distance to feel safe.

It also goes around in circles around here.

“after.”

I don’t like taking risks, but the world doesn’t always go as planned.

It looks like Berserk has no intention of leaving here any time soon, and even more so now that she’s not the only one chasing him.

Therefore, he walked at regular intervals while identifying Berserk’s location using items. Of course, I didn’t startle and jump sometimes when she turned or started running.

If the opponent missed his presence, it was a battle of guts from then on. Running makes more noise than walking, and that experienced warrior will not miss that noise.

So one step, two steps. Sometimes, when Berserk makes a loud noise, I hide from the footsteps and move a little further.

He stepped forward, completely suppressing any other sounds. It was moved so that only silence and silence came to play so that no life could be felt in the exhaled breath.

Chin chin chin.

And when that large figure disappeared in the completely opposite direction.

He changed his position in earnest. Aside from Berserk’s intuition finally losing its power, the number of people trying to find him was increasing.

“They say this kind of popularity is something that even death can cost.”

It was a dangerous situation, but I couldn’t help but joke about it.

He left the alley, blaming himself for the overnight change in his situation.

However, once the biggest threat called Berserk was gone, it was not that difficult to escape the siege.

Although it was a bit inconvenient for the priests to constantly track me, perhaps chasing the reverberations of demonic energy, my life was not directly in danger.

Moreover, even that chase will only end once he leaves the city. I was able to endure it.

thud!

“Where—.”

but.

“—Are you trying to go?”

It seems strange that the powerful magic power that I was trying so hard to avoid suddenly approaches me and jumps out of the alley.

The same goes for blocking the path by pointing at a wall with the intention of destroying it. It’s so bad for your heart. I was so shocked that I couldn’t even scream.

“I am…”

Deathbringer swallowed his saliva while looking at the person above me.

Has the Demon Knight grown this far? I didn’t know because I didn’t feel it when I was an ally. Honestly, it’s so scary that my hands and feet are shaking.

“I should have asked.”

Siyi haircut. Have those who have faced demon knights so far felt this fear?

He hesitated and stepped back, thinking that his heart had not stopped. It was possible because the demon knight blocked the path by climbing onto the wall, but did not go as far as trapping him.

“Well…”

Did you hear that he made a provisional pact with the devil? Considering that I didn’t cut it with a single knife, can I trust that it’s still there?

But if he didn’t listen, there’s no way I would have followed him.

Deathbringer lowered his eyes and lowered his head. The hand hidden between the cloaks secretly clenched into a fist.

“You wouldn’t believe me even if it was a misunderstanding, right…?”

He said with some hope. However, before the answer came, he withdrew the possibility himself. Because it is something that cannot be hoped for.

“….”

So he squeezed what was in between his palms.

“…!”

Suddenly!

The evil sword that the devil knight had gifted him cut the devil knight’s cheek.

“…chiit.”

Even though I aimed for the head in a surprise attack, was that all it took to leave a blood line on my cheek? However, from the beginning, there was no thought that the attack would be successful.

Instead, he kicked himself forward. I didn’t even say sorry for fear of disrupting my breathing.

puck!

His body fell into the gap between the demon knight and the wall that was created when the demon knight raised his arm.

He bumped into him slightly, but his body eventually fell behind the demon knight.

Can’t you react to this? I put that question aside. Whatever the reason for the demon knight’s delayed response, it was luck for him.

It would be nice to die, but he still didn’t want to die because that was how he felt right now.

Not because his life was precious or precious, but because I wondered what would happen to the people who died because of him if he died here.

Crack, thump.

If you do that, all that’s left to do is run for dear life.

He ran out onto the main street without even seeing the demon knight patch up the wound on his cheek.

The people of the temple would be crushed, but that was not important.

As long as the Demon Knight had the ability to cut down enemies from a distance, he had to blend in with people.

Of course, even this is possible because the Demon Knight is not a person who will take the damage of civilians.

If he had been a man who prioritized demon hunting over the lives of civilians, Deathbringer would never have taken to the streets.

“There it is!!”

Ah-oh. It’s jingle.

Deathbringer changed direction to avoid those running from the opposite direction. When I broke it, I realized it was the castle, but it wasn’t that important.

If you can escape from sight, it is not impossible to deceive others. Whether it’s a castle, a boulevard, or an alley.

“you!”

“ah.”

Did even Saenim come out?

He didn’t have time to check with the item, so he saw a sign that he missed appear in front of him. It wasn’t a big problem.

It would be a bit difficult if Sannim blocked the entire street with that damn curtain, but he knew a lot of petty and cowardly tricks to block it.

Whick!

So he quickly took out something and scattered it in the air.

Okay.

“Sigh.”

The first time the three of us went to the forest to look for the devil, we took the pepper we had with us for support – it was what was left over from the grinding at that time.

Well, he probably didn’t know at the time that he would end up using it like this.

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa.”

Anyway, he was throwing the same weight of pepper, which was more precious than gold, into the air—it wasn’t that much of a waste. Because I didn’t buy it with his money—I quickly turned around.

I only coughed a little when I inhaled it, but I didn’t feel guilty because it was a harmless spice.

Rather, he added something extra. Colorful powder spread in the air.

Percussion!

He took out one flint after another and sparked sparks in the air.

The sparks caught the powder and caused a small explosion. It was an explosion that would cause a slight stinging sensation if it touched a person.

However, the purpose of this is not to cause harm to others. They’re just trying to cause confusion by smoking colored smoke.

“Wow!!”

“What what what!”

“Cock, knock!”

Civilians began to panic.

“You need to get out of the way for a moment—.”

“Everyone, calm down…!”

He saw that the civilians were unintentionally blocking the priests and hurried to the building on the left.

The greengrocer has spread out his seat, but his legs step on the stall and tent poles to easily stand up.

“Cough you bastard. really!”

The reason why we chose to go on top of the building rather than on the street is as follows.

This is because although it does not have the ability to intercept from a distance, it has the power to block its path with its unique shield. Since it is a non-lethal ability, there is no need to worry about civilians.

“Oh God!”

At that time, a golden curtain was created above my head. Deathbringer’s legs were twisted diagonally.

fluttering.

He jumped down the building. This is because he is blocked by the building and the curtain cannot press down on him.

But you shouldn’t go down to the street either. As he jumped, he turned his body towards the building.

Kwasik.

His body flew diagonally forward and landed in the air in front of a building on the next block, and his hands grabbed the roof of the building. It was a point outside the scope of the golden membrane.

Afterwards, he hopped onto the roof and ran again. This was also the case when the curtain was made from the front instead of pressed down.

The Deathbringer continued to advance, rolling inward to get out of Sannim’s sight.

It was fortunate that the Inquisitor had a weak body and could only walk on the roads and not climb on top of buildings. The same goes for Berserk, who can’t be seen where he’s gone, or a demon knight who somehow doesn’t follow.

Okay, if this happens, let’s escape through the hole in the castle that we found out before.

Deathbringer quickly reset the escape route and took out an item that allowed him to pinpoint the location of magic users.

I no longer wanted to be attacked by a heart-pounding attack like before.

Fortunately, except for the Inquisitor, most of them were far away. I was able to run with more peace of mind.

* * *

Although physical freedom was regained, it did not mean complete liberation.

Because of this, Leon So Seong-ju spent time in his office connected to the garden with a distraught look on his face.

The being in the form of a white cat is giggling in his lap and showing off his cuteness.

I miss Mia. With tears in his eyes, he thought over and over again the thoughts he couldn’t say out loud. I really, truly wanted to see a confident and strong lover.

“ha.”

What was written in the letter Mia sent?

Thinking back to the voices of customers that I could barely hear, wouldn’t I have asked about the ‘wild beast incident’? Because he wrote a letter and the customers also talked about cats.

Although it was destroyed due to the interference of the Biryu Lake.

Ah, I really need to inform you of the situation somehow. He glanced down at a being that could be called the source of all evil.

The cat, feeling his gaze, also looked up at him. Pink eyes that resembled the lover who had made him throw food despite his fur allergy blinked.

“….”

He looked away again with a face that could not cry, but could not smile either.

It’s fortunate that it doesn’t cause allergies to its fur, even though it’s a legendary beast… but the harm it causes is too great to be looked at for that alone.

Aside from Mia’s lover, dozens of people have already died. Even if they weren’t from his city, they were definitely innocent people.

But… the problem is that there is no way to solve this. To be precise, after he broke up with Mia, he had no choice but to use himself as a sacrifice to appease Biryuho.

“Spew out the truth!”

In the end, is this the only answer?

He took out new stationery.

It’s okay to neglect a situation for the sake of one’s love. I had been selfish enough up to this point, and now that my last hope – asking for salvation through Mia – was cut off, I had to make a decision.

A decision for everyone, even if it means putting him in misfortune.

Make decisions that will make Mia and her city safe.

“Catch the guy who killed the previous castle lord!”

If I had known this would happen, I would have said goodbye right away when I realized that the explosive increase in wild beasts was due to the Biryu Lake. If so, Mia would have been a little less embarrassed.

Leon moved his pen, shedding a few tears without realizing it.

As I was about to write the letter, the cat, which had climbed up on the desk as if to keep an eye on it, looked satisfied when it saw the contents.

“If it’s really not you who did it, then—!”

“…even though I said no!”

However, even if you know that this is a choice for everyone and that it is a choice for your lover, you cannot help the anger that builds up.

He accidentally overturned an ink bottle at a sit-in protest outside. The drop-dead falls crashed down.

[Oops…]

At that, the cat jumped off the desk. Grumbling. The naturally swollen figure soon becomes a platinum-colored human.

Biryuho’s fingers traced Leon’s cheek.

[Are those things outside bothering you? I can take those away if you want.]

“…I don’t want that.”

[But don’t they cause you trouble?]

You are the one who troubles me the most here. Leon swallowed those words and shed tears.

“…no.”

Oh Mia. I hope you don’t suffer too much.

No, actually, more than that, I’m very anxious that you might come in person to figure out the situation. If you receive a request for salvation and a breakup notice one after another, you are the person who will definitely be suspicious.

Because she is a woman who will see with her own eyes and find out the truth…

[Then why are you crying?]

“That…”

I liked you like that, but now I kind of hate you. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just sent a breakup letter from the beginning.

If I had known it would end up like this, I wouldn’t have confessed to you from the beginning…

[Oops.]

Biryuho suddenly clicked his tongue. Leon’s head lifted reflexively.

[I thought it was just a passing animal.] I wonder

if something went wrong again. He followed Biryuho’s gaze and saw the garden connected to the office.

thud.

Someone fell down the tree. Dark-colored hair could be seen through the hood. The color could not be clearly seen due to the shadow of the trees.

[He was human.]

But I can swear that this is not a good situation.

Leon’s face instantly turned an earthy color.
