Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 154
Episode 154: It’s not going anywhere (4)
The Deathbringer easily entered the castle. They may have forgotten that they were infiltrated by a brat 10 years ago, but their security was so loose that it wasn’t difficult to infiltrate.
The route to the secret passage was the same. Even though the castle owner changed, there was no change in the location of the flower garden or outbuildings, so there was no reason to be confused.
Well, just one thing. A warehouse was built on the original road. So I had to go back to the flower garden.
But it wasn’t much of a problem. This is because there was a maze of bushes and many flowers and trees to provide cover.
[I praise you. If you hadn’t made a mistake, you wouldn’t have known until the end.]
But why was the office located on the first floor, and what does it have to do with the flower garden?
Why does a person who looks exactly like So Seong-ju have meaningful contact with someone who is not even a family member? If So Seong-ju is correct, doesn’t that human have a fiancé?
Is it an affair? Is it an affair? But isn’t that the expression on his face?
[You have quite a bit of talent for dealing with mere humans.]
Moreover, I just peeked my head out to find out what was going on in the strange sight. However, the target (presumed) of the affair noticed it right away.
It was a bonus that a vine suddenly grew and dragged him down from the top of the tree to the ground.
This was impossible unless you were a wizard.
The problem was that before entering, he confirmed that there were no magic users using observation items.
I wonder what that thing sticking out of the box is. Was it because he was a wizard that he could use magic tools?
[But that’s not a reason to look at it─.]
“Wait a minute!!”
Regardless, a platinum-colored person who looked unusual at first glance tried to raise his hand. It was Soseongju (presumed) who stopped it.
“Now, please wait a moment.”
Not only that, So Seong-ju (presumed) lowered the corners of his eyes and laughed to the point of humiliation.
The platinum-colored being took back his hand and smiled at him. Dripping with honey, it seems like he definitely has feelings for So Seong-ju.
[Why are you doing that?]
“That is….”
On the other hand, Soseongju doesn’t know.
Even though he is just trying to get something, his expression is stiff. I don’t think it happened because I wanted it to.
“He is just a thief. “He will be punished separately, so pay attention to me.”
In other words, a structure has emerged in which the owner of Soseong has no choice but to fuss solely due to the other party’s status or power.
What exactly is it that makes Soseongju servile? How many classes in the world are there that make even small town owners behave without sense of pride?
[Lovely thing. But how do you know whether it is a thief or not an assassin? You probably came to this position after the lord of the castle was assassinated ten years ago.]
Deathbringer overheard their conversation, assessing whether or not he would be able to escape.
To be honest, these words were a bit of a blow. assassination. Deathbringer’s eyes sank.
“That is….”
[Whether they are thieves or assassins, they are all the same beings with nothing good to offer. So I’ll take care of it.]
Meanwhile, he is neither a thief nor an assassin.
Since he didn’t come in with permission, he could be called an intruder, but in any case, isn’t his goal the death of the castle’s treasures or someone else? Just trying to get through the street.
Well, this isn’t an excuse, though.
“Je me!”
At that time, Soseongju shouted. Fighting. The tears that I thought had stopped for a moment fell down my cheeks once again.
“Am I crying? You have to comfort me…”
The platinum-colored being widened its eyes a little.
[Oops… I guess I got my order wrong. Of course, you come first.]
I don’t know why I have to see this, but I’m thankful that it seems like they’re doing it to save me.
But was this the only way?
Deathbringer was shocked to see a scene that seemed infinitely close to a romantic relationship. Because the deadline is so fast, I can’t hide the bitter taste.
Little Seongju, who forces himself to dance a courtship towards a being of overwhelming status? It was pitiful, but not that pitiful. Isn’t this the highest level of cancer’s power hierarchy?
The world he lived in was a world where he had to go beyond selling his heart and completely crush it in order to survive.
To him, who grew up watching them like that, So Seong-ju was not an object of sympathy, even if it was pitiful. Because at least that person will enjoy and suffer everything he or she deserves.
[Call the security to deal with that…]
Anyway, is the ending an arrest? In fact, it’s not like there’s no way to escape even if you’re stuck deep in that dungeon, but things go wrong.
If the priests come to the castle to question him before he escapes, the situation will turn into a troublesome situation.
[…unpleasant things are coming one after another.]
“…?”
However, it seems that there is no law that says you must fall even if the ground disappears.
Deathbringer was hopeful that confusion would create an opportunity for him.
[They are God’s soldiers.]
No. If the ground gave out, of course it had to fall.
“Why did the church…”
The visit was not agreed upon in advance – of course – but So Seong-ju also expressed confusion. Even at that moment, a hint of hope appears in those eyes.
[It looks like he’s chasing something…]
The platinum-colored being played with So Seong-ju’s hair and immediately let out an ‘Ah’ sound.
[It’s you. The reason they came.]
And its gaze fell on the Deathbringer again. He instinctively flinched as his eyes looked like those of a wild beast. It feels like a tiger is standing in front of me without any obstacles.
[According to the agreement, I left you alone, but now that you have made a mess in my front yard, it is different.]
Agreement?
A word that bothered me passed by briefly.
[Catch me right now─.]
Anyway, I was about to give up because I thought I was sure to get caught like this.
The platinum-colored person stopped mid-sentence. The pretty Ami’s head turned around and she frowned, her face filled with irritation.
[How dare you….]
There is no way to know what else has appeared. Deathbringer and So Seong-ju, who are mere humans and ordinary people, solved the mystery in their own ways.
bang!
Soon, a corner of the garden was overturned with a loud noise. It was so strong that it caused fragments to fly even to him and Soseongju who were far away.
Passsss.
Naturally, a sandstorm arose.
[Are you okay?]
“Yes, yes. “It’s okay because they blocked it, but…”
Dev looked through the sandstorm, roughly blocking the flying debris with the hem of his clothes. Through it all, I could see a glimpse of black ink.
Additionally, as time goes by and the clouds subside, the color becomes a much clearer gray compared to the black color. Whiter skin than that. Something like red grapes, also called the blood of God.
[Phew.]
“Ah….”
“That person is….”
Flap.
The moment the hem of the three-pronged coat waved like a feather, the owner of it all looked up through the cloud of dust.
[I wasn’t trusting the devils either.]
“I found it.”
Eyes from ashes pulled out a sword.
* * *
[Even though I gave him two signals, I should have killed him the moment he set foot on this land.] I
must have chased him without thinking and then lost him.
With blood dripping down my cheek, I finally heard an explanation of the situation from the Inquisitor. Even that was a short sentence that said Dev seemed to have possessed demonic energy.
Of course, I couldn’t understand it with that alone. So I decided to pursue it. The reason I came to the castle was because the priests said that they could sense demonic energy from this direction.
It was trespassing, and I was thinking that the Archmage or Inquisitor would cover it up later.
[Even though it smells fishy and has hemp, it is overlooked, but how dare you go on a rampage without even knowing the subject?]
But how is the situation going on now?
Kyaang.
As soon as I could identify the people around where I landed, I was attacked by one of them. It was a being that was very close to Soseongju.
“Now just a moment!”
[I won’t watch it any longer.]
The two of them are hugging each other with sincere feelings and are even wiping away So Seong-ju’s tears, so I’m like, ‘Huh? I thought, ‘Wind?’
Before that thought could deepen, I was crossing swords with that person. Strictly speaking, I’m the only one with a sword and my opponent is a long claw, but whatever.
“under.”
In addition, despite the devil’s reputation and the fishy smell, the phrase ‘despite having demons’ came out.
It is said that despite the situation, a statement that cannot be ignored if it is a concept has emerged.
“I don’t know who is talking about this topic.”
What should I do?
“It smells like an animal.”
We need to unleash the hellish muzzle that ruins even misunderstandings that could be resolved through conversation.
[A mere human being despises me!]
“No!”
I saw Deb trying to sneak away from behind, took a step back, and then looked to see if he was running at me again. My priority is Dev, but this one seems like a very formidable opponent. I don’t think it will be easy to pass by.
Anyway, just by looking at its appearance, it is like that. I thought of Soseongju as the king of looks, but isn’t this one also a formidable figure? At first glance, it seemed more flashy due to the clothing and color combination.
But is such a gorgeous person really just a passing person?
Moreover, if you look closely at what it looks like, there is no such thing as humanity. Regardless of the beauty of his appearance, he somehow feels like he is not human.
Moreover, the ‘mere human’ comment was added.
I guess he’s not human?
Kyaang.
I clashed my swords once again. However, in the case of the opponent, his other hand was also a weapon, so he swung his other hand instead of the blocked one.
Long nails were aiming for my head.
Swish.
Not wanting to give it an inch of cheek, I leaned back and kicked it in the solar plexus. One scratch on the face was enough.
[…!]
The opponent also avoided my kick. However, it seems quite humiliating that my body was almost attacked. The corners of his lips trembled, revealing his long fangs.
“Biryuho!!”
Soseongju’s cry, which was almost like a scream, rang in my ears. Biryuho. From what I remember, it was the former owner of the eastern region and an ancient beast that settled there.
“Lord Xiaoseong, what’s going on!!”
“Lord Soseong, are you okay?”
“Chi intruder?!”
“It’s dangerous, Lord Xiaocheng!”
Hey. Following the sea dragon and mountain range, we meet even Lake Biryu. After all, this is a required boss to progress through the story, right? You have to go through it, right?
“No, if you come here…!”
[Selling my body to the devil!]
But isn’t the timing too bad? I still have some business to resolve with Deb? Why did Dev try to leave and why did he have magic? Just those facts are giving me a headache right now??
Why are we meeting now? Can’t you postpone it a little bit?
“…don’t insult me!”
However, in this situation, ignoring the other person does not fit the concept. I don’t think the other person will let me go before then.
I held the knife properly, thinking that all kinds of ashes would be covering me in the busy yard.
“Go back!”
So Seong-ju is trying hard to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the guards.
“But there are intruders!”
“Come this way!”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t easy due to the presence of Biryuho and I – probably -. Even if the guards’ professional spirit was too strong, it was a mistake.
“Young hunter, stay here. uh? “Comrades!!”
Berserker rushed past the guards and even popped his head out. The situation became even more difficult.
“The intruder is here!”
“You must evacuate, Little City Lord!”
“No matter how much it’s a temple, you can’t believe you’re reaching this place without permission!”
“I will remember this…!”
I’m confused, I’m confused. I took a quick glance at my surroundings while dealing with the incessant surge of the Biryu Lake.
This was possible because although Biryuho was quick, it was not unbearable and its charging pattern was simple.
Like other ancient beasts, it is not the type that has a huge body and can cause damage even with the slightest movement.
Above all, I don’t feel like I’m fighting properly, perhaps because I don’t want to cause harm to those around me. I also don’t use magical power for fear of avoiding people around me, so the conditions are the same for both of us.
It doesn’t work over there, and it doesn’t work with me either. They’re just losing their temper…
[They’re going to die obediently, so they
‘re struggling in vain…] But it seems they were also annoyed by the lack of support between them and not being able to communicate with each other.
The other person’s face became even more distorted, and his eyes became venomous.
An overwhelming energy, perhaps magical power, gathered towards the opponent, creating all kinds of winds. Its platinum-colored hair is fluttering wildly, as if it is sticking up like the Super
Moreover, the hands and bare feet that were slightly visible through the fluttering hem of the clothes suddenly grew hair and became like those of an animal.
thud!
The only thing that changed was that the ground suddenly sank. As if its weight had increased.
[You’re making me use my strength.]
And….
[Die.]
“…!”
“Get back!”
The moment it clawed at the air, an illusion like a tiger’s hand appeared and clawed at me and behind me.
It wasn’t that surprising because it was a common effect, but the aftereffects were powerful.
“Ouch!”
“Wow!”
Thanks to me not backing down at the last moment and countering with magical power, and thanks to Berserker far behind pushing people away, only two people were caught in the attack.
However, even if there are only two people, the damage cannot be said to be small.
This is especially true if one person’s arm is cut off and another person has deep scars from shoulder to pelvis.
“Biryuho—!!”
Xiao Seongju screamed.
[…!]
Biryuho trembled at Soseongju’s scream. Then the rushing magic stopped. The body, which gradually changed, also returned to the shape I first observed.
The platinum-colored beauty fluttered her long eyelashes.
[…I looked like I couldn’t look at you in front of you.]
The tone was as if he was embarrassed, but did not feel guilty.
Biryuho gestured with his hand in a cool and arrogant manner.
Then the grass around the two wounded people began to swell. Something had sprouted through the grass and bloomed.
[One thing went well.]
“How…”
[Make sure to announce it properly at this point. You are my biryuho.]
“How can this be…”
It may not have been just a flower, but the moment it opened its bud, a delicate scent spread around. The injured people, who were coughing blood or screaming, looked much more relaxed.
It doesn’t seem to be healing the wound, and I think it has a vague pain-relieving effect. It’s too unprofitable to just give a bottle and give medicine.
[I feel like I’m in a lot of trouble right now, so I’ll come back later.]
But what are you saying now? You’re going to argue with my concept so much that you’re just leaving after saying you’ve seen everything?
“It’s a mess.”
It’s not only that he’s been fighting with Concept, but there are some things he said that can’t be easily ignored.
It is true that I am tainted by the devil, so even so, isn’t there something strange about saying ‘I didn’t trust the devil’?
It was clear that he had ties to the devil, whether as a helper or a neglectful relative. Can’t miss it.
“Where are you going?”
So I surrounded the sword with magic. The long sword made a screeching sound as black energy formed on the silver blade. It looks like the taste is slowly fading away.
“Oh no!”
But if it doesn’t break right away, that’s fine. I half-ignored Soseongju’s cries and swung my sword at Biryuho.
The white hand grabbed the sword surrounded by magic and blocked it. Blood was flowing down as if there had been no damage at all.
[Tsk.]
Even so, what was blocked was blocked.
The other person frowned and glared at me as if he were going to kill me.
However, it didn’t lead to me using my hands, and it seems that the small stone behind me got caught.
In the end, Biryuho shook off my sword. The power was so enormous that I couldn’t refuse it.
[I’ll just let you see it this time.]
But what happens if the opponent throws away the sword? Even though I didn’t have the strength to withstand it, I had the strength not to let go of the sword.
I turned to follow the sword flying sideways. Using the force of the throw, the body pivoted and spun around.
Whick!
However, it was faster for Biryuho to take two steps back than for my sword to cut Biryuho.
If I had known this would happen, I would have shot the sword. However, when you fire a sword energy and the opponent dodges it, the aftermath…
[So, leave this land as soon as possible─.]
“Khaat! “He’s strong!”
Exciting laughter spread out. bang! A huge halberd shook the ground with a roar.
Biryuho, who pulled away so quickly that he lost his shape, opened his eyes wide. The place where he had just been was torn to pieces by the halberd.
“Comrade, what I took away from Berserk last time is now being returned to me.”
But I wonder if there is anyone here who cares about that. I looked at Berserker and moved my wrist as if I was shedding a long sword.
“go away.”
“joy. Berserk doesn’t listen to you. “I will fight.”
The sound of Soseongju grabbing the back of the neck is probably due to his mood.
The two of us stood side by side in front of Biryu Lake.
[Insignificant people….]
Biryuho must have been annoyed by our actions, and a blood clot appeared on his pretty neck. It seems like the gentle flow of magic power will boost my strength at any moment.
“Demon knight! Berserk!”
However, the situation changed with the appearance of a new person. The Inquisitor came running, leading the priests.
And when she caught our gaze, Biryuho waved his hand.
Quad deuk!
Just like flowers growing next to the wounded soldiers, vines of enormous thickness grew in an instant. There was one thing to bind us and another to block our path.
“It’s not the same…!”
“Oh what is this? “The grass grew tall.”
Of course, it is difficult to say that it had a great effect. I could just cut it with my sword and Berserker cut it off with his body strength.
It is similar to what was built like a wall to block the path. Even if the two of us don’t join forces, it won’t be difficult to break through.
“Has it disappeared…!”
“Eh.”
However, that moment is enough for Biryuho to escape. I don’t know how it disappeared, but there was no sign of it leaving.
“Did it end without incident…”
On the other hand, unlike us, So Seong-ju was visibly relieved. Although I quickly hardened my expression when I heard the wounded people giggling.
“Priest! “There’s an injured person here!”
“yes?!”
He called the priests who ran first. It was a natural decision since it was an injury that could only be saved by mobilizing divine power.
The Inquisitor’s eyes widened, but upon discovering the severity of the wound, he quickly turned around.
Those who were gasping for breath barely crossed the border between life and death under her touch.
“Tsk.”
I’m glad I survived. Although we missed Lake Biryu.
I pushed down the remaining wall of plants, which was very thick, and looked back on the situation.
We couldn’t catch Biryuho, but there’s still someone here who knows about it, so you can ask him. Our original target, Dev, ran away while we were confronting the Biryuho…
“Where are you going, comrade?”
I lost some time while fighting, but it wasn’t just tens of minutes. If you’re good at it, you might be able to chase it.
“ah. The demon knight… that bastard….”
“That’s right! “We need to find a young hunter!”
I looked at the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor, who had barely managed to keep the sick alive, had just handed the patient over to another priest.
“direction.”
“…! It’s over there!”
Yes, that is over there.
I took a step forward, remembering the wound on my cheek that shouldn’t have felt painful, but felt like it was throbbing somewhere.
I gave up the idea that it might be better to just let them go, as there was a high probability that they would die if they were caught.
I haven’t heard anything from Gogi Dumpling yet.
Even if I give it to you when I send it to you, I should at least hear the reason.
