Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 159
Episode 159: It’s not going anywhere (9)
Climbing to the top was easier than I thought.
It seemed like we jumped about 20 meters each time we jumped, but after repeating this about 200 times, we quickly reached the same altitude.
[On the topic of humans…!]
Based on simple calculations, it would be roughly 4,000 meters above sea level.
Considering that the summit altitude of Mt. Everest is about 8,800, it was not a high altitude for humans to reach.
“We’ve finally arrived…! “We will expand our foothold!”
[Dare to climb into the sky with your remaining tricks!]
Of course, we were hit with altitude sickness and biting cold due to the strong wind and thin oxygen.
However, the Inquisitor somehow defeated me with his divine power, and I gritted my teeth and held on.
In the case of altitude sickness, it is ultimately a matter of atmospheric pressure, so if you wrap yourself in magical energy, wouldn’t the magical energy act as a shield? Well, trying that logic seems to have had some impact.
I was able to maintain my body temperature by taking medicine given by the Archmage, which somehow prevented me from hitting bottom.
“Hahaha! “I’m finally seeing that expensive face!”
Berserker… I don’t know what Berserker is. That’s ‘It’s okay! Is this an example of ‘I bounced it off!’? No, are you human in the first place?
The atmospheric pressure is not only atmospheric pressure, but the temperature is so cold that even breathing is freezing, so you have to survive with just one piece of clothing.
He said he took medicine with me, but I still think he’s a little crazy. I wanted to shake my head when I saw this person ignoring the laws of the universe, but I held back.
Instead, I stepped on the surface of divine power, which had expanded from about 1 pyeong to dozens of square meters.
Underneath the faint golden curtain, the land thousands of meters below was visible, but it was so unrealistic that it felt like CGI.
What’s more, right in front of us was a whale wrapped in clouds like silk.
The white belly is that of an ordinary whale, but the upper part is made of rough waves. There were light particles densely embedded in the waves, so it felt like looking at the night sky or the deep sea.
If you didn’t know that the other person was an arch-demon, it would be a mythical being, so it wouldn’t be strange to worship him.
[I’ll drop it again!]
Buuuu!
Then Moby Dick cried. Contrary to its elegant appearance, the open mouth is black as if bitten into food. It was the final proof that he was evil.
“coming!”
Meanwhile, the guy didn’t run away. If you look at its actions in the first place, it seems like its body itself is slow–I don’t know if it’s because of its size or something–but it doesn’t seem to allow running away as an option.
“Huh! “If we’re on the same ground, there’s nothing to worry about!”
“I’ll make a few more steps every meter just in case!”
But now there is no need to force it.
Berserker jumped and dodged the water rain that poured down as if it would sweep across the horizon.
On the other hand, I grabbed the back of the Inquisitor’s neck as he raised his shield with my left hand.
In any case, due to the thickness of the water column, the top step – the one you are currently stepping on – is bound to break. However, there are new scaffolds 1m below and additional scaffolds 2m and 3m below.
Clink!
I felt the footing I was standing on break and my body fall down.
And when the second curtain touched my foot, I broke it by stamping my foot.
“Why…”
My body went down even further. If you do this, you can now avoid the stream of water by just lowering your body a little.
Pow!
“What a number…!”
I let go of the hand that was holding the Inquisitor’s head as I felt the water column barely passing over my head.
The belief was that Kimchi Dumpling was not a Berserker and would not raise his head in this situation.
Of course, the Inquisitor repaid that trust and we easily avoided the attack. It was a trick that could be used because the space was not limited like in a normal game.
Kwakagagak!
Anyway, the beam that had been sweeping the front in a fan shape had now passed me. Now is the time to deal.
As soon as I got to the curtain, I rushed forward. Berserker must have avoided the water column well, and can be seen rushing towards the whale from the other side.
“die.”
I swung my sword, being careful not to hit anything I was stepping on.
In a normal game, I wouldn’t have had to worry about my footing being destroyed even if I couldn’t use the trick of dodging backwards. A little sadness is a bonus.
Suddenly!
Still, a deal is a deal. I was satisfied to see that what should have been only one sword mark had increased to three.
I didn’t use it because there were many things that could be solved without it, but considering it was a raid—raid bosses tend to have a lot of health—it was the effect of the ‘Three Claws’ skill that I activated.
Buuuu!
With three attacks, the damage is tripled! Additionally, the Berserker deal was added.
Moby Dick writhed and cried. Water droplets gathered in the air, instantly froze and shot towards us. Some of them, instead of freezing, took on the shape of snakes and chased me with a judo.
Chae chae chaeng!
Because of that, the plan to jump onto the whale was aborted.
I happened to break a chunk of ice that fell at a bad time and disintegrate the snake made of water.
Even at this moment, the foothold we are standing on is becoming a very hard surface made up of dozens of layers due to the power of the Inquisitor.
Still, there’s nothing good about hitting the floor.
After destroying all the attacks coming in, I unleashed another sword strike. The closer you get, the less magical energy it takes and the more powerful it becomes, so get as close as possible.
Thump thump!
However, when Dil & Tang got too close, the national rule is to attack in close range, so when we got too close, Moby Dick started struggling and tried to crush us. It looked like it was going to crush us with its massive flesh.
A foothold that was hit at random—maybe it was a target. If the scaffolding breaks, we all fall to our deaths—it was about to break with a crunching sound, but the Inquisitor held on.
The same goes for me and Berserker. We escaped its struggle and cut off its white flesh and cut off the fins on both sides.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of it going down. I guess the principle behind his floating lies in something else.
[Humans and such!]
But why are the only things external bosses can say are ‘humans and such’ or ‘on the subject of humans’ and ‘how dare humans’?
Ah, isn’t that what my concept of treating the devil as a scum and confident of victory every time has to say?
‘A petty piece of trash.’
I stepped back, clearing away distracting thoughts, and swung my sword again when the guy stopped.
From bottom to top. The whale, which had been cut from the corner of its mouth to its eyes, jerked its body backwards. The black magic energy remained like a lingering scent and then disappeared in an instant.
[The punishment ends here!]
However, even if it dies soon, it is said to be a great evil – and there is no need to treat it like that – but instead of continuing to be beaten, it shows a new pattern.
The water scales that made up my body were sent out along with the clouds.
Kwagwagwagwagang!
A 3m wave began to sweep away the film of light.
It didn’t even give me space to escape by jumping or running. In a normal game, this would be a gimmick where you would have to hide behind an invincible plane or a tank.
“Wow!”
Berserker, who was excitedly beating up the whale in the battle line, ignoring all the patterns, was the first to get involved.
“stupid.”
On the other hand, I somehow managed to avoid being caught in the wave by Gamer Jjambap. This is because I carefully watched the movements and took a step back.
However, if you just step back like this, you will end up at a cliff. Running backwards, I frowned in front of an invisible breakthrough.
“Gather together!”
Fortunately, the solution came from the Inquisitor behind him. Kimchi dumplings that witnessed the turbulent storm formed a shelter with a hemispherical shield.
I wonder if they had some space because several layers of curtains were fixed to the floor, or did they force themselves to create a space to escape.
That’s something we don’t know, but it’s good if there’s a place to avoid it right away.
I entered the Inquisitor’s shield as if sliding with the tide hanging like a tail.
As I see my HP steadily decreasing, I’m confused as to whether I’ve entered the shelter or been attacked, but it probably hurts less.
slam!
Meanwhile, when the waves hit the shield, something similar to water vapor rose up. If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the shield is constantly cracking and repairing itself.
The praying Inquisitor’s expression became more determined.
Gurgling.
“Don’t act like an idiot.”
In the meantime, Berserker survives in the end.
Even as I was swept away by the current, I reached out my hand outside the shield, admiring the person who turned this way.
Then he grabbed Berserker by the collar and dragged him inside the shelter.
“Puh-ha! “I lived!”
When I briefly reached out to see if it was just a wave, my collar was torn and a small scar was left. Berserker was similar. There are small white and red wounds on her skin.
The blood and water mixed and fell on the golden film.
“Hahaha! “I almost fell!”
Still, as long as he was alive, that was enough. The Inquisitor, who was kneeling and praying with a strong light, smiled softly.
From the curtain that forms the floor to the defense shield. Is it because he is bearing all the conditions for this fight to take place? Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and dried up in an instant.
[Go!]
However, even after the turbulent tempest passed us by, we could not relax.
While the Inquisitor was cleaning the floor, which was about to break after being scratched by demonic energy. And it was because of what Moby Dick did just as we were about to adjust our stance and approach the whale again.
Bubbly, bubbling.
The upper crust, which seemed to be from the deep sea, boiled and vomited something.
It was a star and it was also a shadow. It was evil.
Crrrrr.
The white eyes that we thought were lights began to look fiercely at us.
“Ha, you’re a bastard!”
“It will never collapse…!”
“It’s a mess.”
Oh crazy. Jjol pattern Evande.
I braced my sword as I watched the monsters rising from the Sky Whale’s back.
They are all creatures based on sea creatures, just in case they came from a marine life somewhere.
It is said that creatures such as octopuses, snakes, mermen, crocodiles, crabs and seals have been transformed into bizarre things.
But appearance isn’t the only issue.
As I watched the monsters that kept popping out, I wondered whether it would be the end after just a few of them or whether they would come out until the end of the battle.
In the former case, you can wipe them out in one go, but in the latter case, you have to fight by allocating more magical energy and stamina.
[Kill them!]
“Children are no fun! “Get out of there before I get rid of it all!”
However, we will have to wait a little longer before we can come to a conclusion.
“…! “They’re trying to break the floor!”
On the contrary, it was clear that they had to be killed now.
“Can you hold on?”
“…yes!”
They’re trying to break the floor, but the Inquisitor said they can hold on, so let’s save some more magic power. Because I don’t know how things will change.
So, rather than immediately attacking with a sword and cutting it into pieces, I chose to hold on to the two-hender properly.
After that, my sword cut off the head of the snake that came first, covered in its blood, stepped on its severed neck, and ran beyond.
The Merman seen next avoided it by rotating its body in the air.
When I put my legs up and my head down, using the force of a neck slash, the Merman’s spear was perfect for missing me due to the different surface area.
Okay.
The body that avoided the spear landed behind Merman.
I stepped on the Merman’s fish tail and stabbed him in the back before he could fully turn around. The two-hender’s long blade pierced exactly between the back and the chest.
Next, some horsepower was added to the two-hender to increase cutting power.
Then, instead of pulling out the blade, he cut the Merman’s skin and drew it out in a circular motion. The blade, with a crackling sound and splattering flesh and blood, cut down another monster that was about to attack me.
Kwazijic!
The exoskeleton of the crab-like creature was shattered, and the flesh and internal organs inside were thrown out.
I wiped the blood with the back of my hand and lifted the sword. And then he ran forward again.
What blocks my path this time is an octopus-like monster that swings its eight legs horizontally.
Predicting and avoiding all eight bridges is a bit annoying. For the first time in a long time, I activated the skill ‘Survival Instinct’ and checked the most efficient route.
Stinger. The blade, which stood forward like a lance, combined with the survival instinct to avoid the eight legs and penetrated between the octopus’s eyes.
The crocodile, which attacked one after another, threw the two-hender on the floor, stepped on its lower jaw with its feet, and held on to its upper jaw with its arms. Then, with a hastily drawn long sword, he cut the upper jaw horizontally and separated part of the snout.
The crocodile closed its mouth without realizing that I had lost part of its mouth, and immediately opened its eyes.
Sigh.
late. My longsword pierced its brain and dispatched it in one fell swoop.
Ting!
Immediately after, I kicked the two-hander up and grabbed it. Then, he threw the long sword upward, making an empty hand, and with the free hand, he held the two-hender tightly and swung it sideways.
The two Mermen that were charging in front were cut off from the waist down and killed.
Next, the two-hender, which was turned to the right, was left entirely in the right hand, and the long sword that had fallen was received with the free left hand.
Okay.
The snake’s head lost its head and rolled on the floor due to the long sword’s slightly misaligned crosscut. widely. As it whizzed around, the long sword, which had been shaken off the blood, entered the scabbard cleanly.
“Hahaha, die, die!!”
good. This aspect has been sorted out though.
I was even more relieved to see Berserker getting more kills than me.
As long as the bastard is rampaging, the monster will never reach the Inquisitor. Since the speed is fast, the monster will live longer and will not cause damage to the Inquisitor.
If so, I’ll start attacking the boss again.
I adjusted my two-hender and jumped higher, stepping on the head of the Merman who was extending his spear at me.
Thousands of meters in the air, the hem of a coat covered in thin ice fluttered in the white wind.
And when even my breath froze white, I stood in front of the whale collecting water in its mouth and raised my two hands.
My hair, which had been frozen and covered in ice, gently stung my eyes.
‘Kill me.’
Moby Dick must have sensed something unusual and sent snakes made of water shooting at me, but it didn’t matter.
The three claws dismantled the snakes, and the straight blade spewed out a pillar of black magic like a roar.
‘Tear that damn bastard to death.’
Kwaaaaang!
Before the water-shaped magical energy that Moby Dick contained poured out of his mouth, it collided with my magical energy and caused an explosion.
