Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 164

Episode 164: Making excuses (4)

[The agreement will continue.]

[…That’s good news, right?]

Pandemonium grinned at the person standing in front of me. Although it was full of all kinds of swear words and embarrassment, it never showed it.

[Fighting with a hero or his gang is also tolerated. As long as there is no damage to Ednium.]

Here, the moment you look down on it, you will be eaten.

Like someone’s body still stuck in those teeth.

[…Why would I fight with them?]

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Pandemonium murmured all sorts of mean curses to himself.

Sympathy for the dead Leviathan? It was never like that. Why do you pity me for dying while playing a trick? It’s not like there was any bond between them.

[Really?]

But the situation that occurred when that bastard Leviathan died is very annoying.

Even though their honor is different from the humans who would be proud of having killed the Great Devil, they are really angry at what that damn tiger did.

Damn Leviathan! If you’re going to die, die gracefully. Why not have your name and soul eaten by that venomous beast! Thanks to you, that damn bastard only gets stronger!

[That’s a shame…]

Meanwhile, that damn tiger doesn’t know what satisfaction is.

By swallowing Leviathan’s name and soul, he not only inherited all of its power, but also coveted Pandemonium himself.

[…haha. Well then, shall I just leave? [Because I don’t have any more work.]

Normally, I would have been satisfied with the actions, but if my life was at stake, my attitude would change.

Pandemonium laughed loudly, swearing heavily inside. Fortunately, that damn tiger didn’t act any further.

[Let’s go.]

“Yes.”

Pandemonium hurriedly got into the carriage driven by my contractor.

Soon, a rare monster created by transplanting wings onto a horse lifted the carriage into the air.

“Can I leave that alone?”

And when there was some distance between me and the cave where the damn beast was. The contractor asked carefully.

Pandemonium’s brow narrowed slightly.

[It doesn’t matter right now. Because it will take time to digest the power of the Great Devil.]

The side effects are different from eating the power of one Great Devil raw.

After all, isn’t the existence of the Great Devil made of demonic energy, or negativity? Those beasts are the opposite of such negativity.

Because they have purification abilities and are of similar rank, they have escaped corruption, but their insides will not be intact.

And that will continue to be the case until I digest the power of the Great Devil and use it as my own.

[So get ready. Because we have to attack him before he digests his power and enters the stable zone.]

“Are you going to kill him?”

[no. It’s enough to upset the balance. The moment the power to purify demon energy weakens, it will be consumed by negativity and become corrupted.]

Therefore, Pandemonium decided to punish it.

If you covet the power of the Great Devil and take it, you will have to pay a fair price. It was a bonus to think it was somewhat commercial.

[Just in case, don’t go to the point of full-scale war, so that you don’t get caught if Biryuho survives. Ah, no matter how this incident ends, the current contractors will lose their power, so prepare to take over their territory.]

“Of course. “What should the warrior’s party do?”

[They are…]

Pandemonium pondered over that question. Will a hero step forward? No, will it benefit you if you come forward?

[Spread the rumor to prevent them from coming forward.]

If the hero steps forward, all remnants of Leviathan will be purified. It would be a waste to have that mighty power fly into the air.

[What I’m saying is that if Biryu Lake dies, the entire eastern region will really become dry, deepening people’s anxiety. Someday, when a situation arises where the warriors have to step up, let them be criticized by people.]

So, if you are going to use that precious power on that side, you have to make them pay for it.

“All right. But it’s a shame. “It would be nice if the master could take it himself.”

[…?]

“I’m sorry I said something unnecessary.”

[…no. Well said.]

But maybe… rather than playing around like that, it might be better for him to pay the right price first and then take it away.

[Give up the realm of jealousy. Instead, save up money. As many as possible as quickly as possible!]

* * *

A being presumed to be Biryuho ate the corpse of the great devil. The moment the story was told, people’s opinions were completely mixed.

These are two things: ‘We must kill’ and ‘If we do that, what will happen if the eastern part of the country collapses?’

me? I don’t know. From what you’re saying, it seems like the raid boss has been confirmed.

If you shut up and push on, what happens after you get caught is the problem.

I don’t think the East will be destroyed by capturing the Biryu Lake, but… aren’t these people different?

So what can you do?

All the castle lords who rule the cities in the east will gather together and hold a meeting – time is urgent, so it will be held via video call through wizards – so we’ll have to wait for that.

I also prepared something on my own, just in case.

For your information, there is nothing you can do about this waiting concept. No matter how dirty the concept is, it’s not something to make a rash move when hundreds of thousands of people’s lives are at stake.

“The young hunter is still sleeping.”

“It’s probably because my body isn’t fully healed yet. “It has entered a stable phase again, so it will wake up in a few days.”

Meanwhile, this damn… Deathbringer is still spreading.

Although he woke up once, he vomited blood and collapsed again after saying, “That….” After that, the internal injury got worse again and I haven’t woken up for a week.

In total, it’s been 10 days. At this point, my heart starts to feel a bit drowsy.

“Really?”

“Maybe… I guess so.”

Me indeed. Why doesn’t this happen? Since I extended it for 2 weeks, does this mean that you will also extend it for 2 weeks? Is it a sign that you should try Yeokjisaji?

I tore into the rye bread, thinking that if that was real, he was such a bad guy.

For hygiene reasons, the right hand holding the bread with a handkerchief between it and the left hand tearing the bread. Please note that the left hand is bare.

The left arm is bandaged up to the wrist, so if you take off the glove, it’s bare.

Of course I washed my hands too. Since you can suffer from cancer and cerebral edema, why not have a viral or bacterial infection?

I washed it more thoroughly and thoroughly than usual. You will never contract an infectious disease.

“So are you going to kill Biryuho?”

“That’s not yet…”

Two loaves of rye bread, a bowl of soup, a plate of salad, and a few pieces of roasted vegetables are all you need for this meal.

I put every last piece of bread in my mouth.

Squeak!

At the same time the door opened.

When I heard the sound of people trudging, I deliberately sped up my eating at the last minute, and the timing was right. It’s nice.

“Archmage?”

“Preparations for the meeting will be finished soon.”

Since it is an important meeting, they will not just use the communication port, but will set up a reception room and project the appearance of the castle lords.

Are you almost ready?

I wiped my mouth with a handkerchief and waited for him to speak with a glass of water.

“Then…”

“If the Biryu Lake becomes hostile, we will participate in that capacity as there is a high possibility that we will face it. “Let’s get ready and go right away.”

But are the results of this meeting really good? From the perspective of a city that wasn’t damaged, all of this must feel like nothing else, right?

And people cannot empathize greatly unless any misfortune happens to them.

I had a feeling the results wouldn’t be very good. My face frowned slightly.

If this happens, it might be better not to go. I have something prepared, but it hasn’t arrived in my hands yet.

If you participate without it and find yourself in a situation where the concept has no choice but to rush forward…

“Over there!”

When my thoughts reached that point, someone came running to me. As far as I know, he was an ordinary priest in charge of Dev—which means he had no divine power.

“You…”

But why is that person running in such a hurry? Is there a problem?…

“You’re awake!”

The happiest story I’ve heard recently came unexpectedly.

This is a problem because I and my group need to go to the castle right away.

“Ah, Archmage.”

“…It’s not starting right away, so it’ll be okay to just look at each other for a moment and get things sorted out.”

Still, the monk is quite a flexible person.

“let’s go!”

“yes!!”

As soon as permission was given, the Inquisitor and Berserker rushed to Dev’s room. The Archmage grinned and followed them slowly.

“Aren’t you coming?”

I also followed along haphazardly.

“…Did you find any gold? “Please come in quickly.”

“How stupid of you to wake up and come now!”

“Haha, I overslept for too long!”

“With this much…”

Of course, I followed him on foot, and when I got close to him, I could hear the three of them talking in the room.

Unlike the words chosen, the voice seemed to be liked by anyone who heard it, so the Archmage, who had just entered the room, smiled softly.

“What is this bad about sleeping for 10 days?”

“Young hunter, gain more stamina. “Get up early from now on.”

“No, is that what I want? And this isn’t a question of physical strength.”

Oh, just to add, instead of going into the room, I leaned my back against the hallway wall.

There was no particular reason. I saved him because I felt affection for him, and I’m keeping him alive because I believe he doesn’t exist… Even the smoke screen was somehow accepted, but I just thought that anything more than this was the territory of the Kaebung.

Even if it’s an Archmei right now, it’s the same. When she saw me stopping in the hallway just before entering the room, she looked at me with ‘I understand’ in her eyes.

In that person’s head, I would be experiencing the collapse of the values I had maintained for a long time. That was the reason I guided it in the first place.

So it’s only right to stop here. I want to give it a go, but character building has to be built one stone at a time to prevent it from collapsing.

“Eat a lot. “My face was cut in half.”

“You guys are eating too much….”

“Apart from us eating a lot, you need to eat some.”

“Even Saenim says that.”

“Well, maybe I should bring a meal?”

“Even Buddhist monk Nari. “Am I that serious?”

And… I tried to crush it and brush it off somehow, but it seemed like Dev was paying more attention to me because of that.

Please note that this is a reference to when going to subdue demons, so it may be wrong.

But maybe it’s not true? From Dev’s point of view, he has a record of attacking first, and he will think that I might try to kill him at any moment…

So, if I try to get involved, even the friendly atmosphere at DoTap High School will be ruined.

After all, I’d rather be outside.

“Well, I did lose some weight.”

In the meantime, Dev started saying things like that, as if he was groping his face. It may not be a little, but it may be a lot, but first of all, no one corrected that statement.

“…Huh, wait a minute.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Why is my chin like this?”

“Is there a problem?”

“…?”

“No, the beard is gone…!”

“huh?”

But it looks like he touched his cheek and then his chin.

I recalled the moment a few days ago when the priest who was taking care of Dev shaved off his beard.

The priest probably thought it had grown while he was sleeping, so he shaved it off. In the end, it was an unnecessary favor for Dev.

“My beard…!!”

“Why not just grow it again?”

“Uh hah hah. “Is that what you were talking about?”

“I barely raised it…!”

“Just push on, young hunter. “It didn’t suit me anyway.”

“I wasn’t raised to fit in!?”

For your information, I discovered it when my beard was already half shaved…

It was a pain to dry it and it was strange to stop when it was already half shaved, so I just rolled it. I don’t know if it’s a mohawk, but there’s something strange about a mohawk beard.

“I’m sorry. “You don’t even care about that.”

“That’s it. “It’s already passed…”

Still, I’m not the type of person to be obsessed with my beard for a long time.

“Is he dead?”

Deathbringer changed the topic. The subject is omitted, but I think I know whose death is being asked.

“As you have seen, that is how the great evil Moby Dick died. “It caused a bit of trouble after that.”

“Are you really dead?”

“then.”

“Are you really dead?”

But why is this repeated question so meaningful?

If you are saying something out of disbelief, your tone of voice should be awkward, but Dev’s words were very rigid.

It’s like on a TV quiz show where the PD gives you another chance by asking, “Is this really the right answer?”

“Your blood…!”

“Hunter, are you sick again?”

Even though it was almost completely cured, I coughed up blood again…

“…I’ll check again.”

In the end, it means that Dev gave a hint at his own expense. That’s also a hint about Moby Dick’s possibility of survival.

If you can’t accept this, you have to go out and die.

“First, we have to go participate in the meeting about Lake Biryu. “Please rest more in the meantime.”

“Huh, wait a minute. “Then wouldn’t it be better if I just went with you?”

“Are you saying that because you know it happened in just 10 days? Don’t learn only bad things from the devil knight.”

Rather than that, aren’t these words really painful right now, Master?

I hit a human bone right now!! This is 4 weeks old!
