Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 168
Episode 168 Next (1)
‘Anger will come.’
[…That can’t be possible.]
‘The anger will come.’
[Why did this body even eat the unclean flesh…!]
‘I will come to kill you.’
[I am Biryuho! I even gained the power of the Great Devil! There’s no way I can lose to a mere human!]
‘Someone you can’t defeat is coming.’
[There is no way this body can lose…!]
“Biryuho?”
Swish!
Biryuho instinctively turned his body with his nails raised. In front of the hand that has barely stopped is the human being that he decided to possess.
“…Do you have any problem.”
Instead of the blood fading away, the veins themselves were stained black, and they looked at Biryuho with bloodshot eyes. There is a blood line engraved on that cheek from something that just happened.
[this. I hurt you.]
Biryuho’s heart broke. Although I was a little concerned that the wound was inflicted on me and not on anyone else, the fact that I almost killed this fragile thing brought me grief.
And Leon So Seong-ju, who was held in his arms like that…
thought, this is terrible.
Is that it? There was also a feeling that the smell was becoming more disgusting, as well as a ridicule that even the pretty appearance was being ruined.
The face he held in his arms turned his gaze to his surroundings numbly. A few more words from Biryuho reached my ears, but they were not engraved in my mind.
All I could see was the rotting land around me.
Maybe it would be better to kill Biryuho.
He recalled the forest that was abundant at first. It was a forest so rich and dense that I was shocked as to how it had not been discovered until now.
Is that why? The animals living there must have been affected by the thick life, so they became large and extremely agile.
It was as if a single animal possessed magical powers, just like the beasts of a time when humans had not even established language.
However, it was enough for the sun to rise and set six times for it all to fall.
It only took six days for the seemingly magical beasts to unleash their hidden magical energy and cause the entire forest to rot and become poisonous.
Because of this, he was able to realize it quickly. If things continue like this, he will die soon.
This is something you can be sure of just by looking at the back of his hand.
black veins. Because the typical symptoms of magical energy erosion that everyone learns at least once were all over his skin.
But he rather enjoyed it. It was very difficult to sit so far away in the middle of a rotten forest and be treated like a cancer doll.
Aside from being bored or uncomfortable, it’s hard to breathe, your head feels dizzy, and your body hurts as if you’ve been beaten.
So, if you die early due to demonic energy erosion, it is rather a good thing. He mocked himself and slightly pushed Biryuho away.
[Why are you doing that?]
Biryuho’s eyes became cruel as he understood it as a rejection. It was a familiar development.
Leon wordlessly took Biryuho’s hand and led him to a place where there were still blades of grass. It was a good place to lie down.
[Did you want to rest?]
Stupid beast. He misunderstood and lay down in the grass, leaving Biryuho to solve it on his own. Even though he was unaware of the rotting surroundings, the animal was quite generous and let him lie down with him.
Even that was painful. The person he wanted next to him had black hair, not platinum hair.
“Why did you leave?”
[Huh?]
“You disappeared from us in the past.”
[Ah.]
…Chat is the best way to forget your thoughts. He barely forgot the afterimage that appeared in the corner of his vision.
[It’s no big deal. It was just to postpone the approaching death.]
“…Yes?”
Even if you didn’t expect that only resentment and anger would come in return.
[Yes, even the turtle crawling under the earth has received immortality, but why should I die? Only I have the right to enjoy eternity.]
“Then why is the land dry…?”
[I just took some of the life that should have passed on to the world. It would be an honor for them too. It is more valuable to be the blood and flesh of this body than to be a fleeting life.]
He covered his eyes with his hands from the rising misery. I could feel my hands shaking even through my skin.
[Of course, the magical power accumulated in the forest used as a nest, causing many side effects… But isn’t it okay? That’s how I met you.]
But even at that moment, the words that stimulated him did not stop.
Leon thought about whether Biryuho would die if he grabbed a tree branch lying around and stuck it in its neck.
Even though I knew it was impossible, I couldn’t bear it if I didn’t do it like this. If you don’t do this….
[You’ll kill me….]
Boom!
An explosion rang out. Just like it did once before.
“…?”
[What…]
Just like that time, one side of the forest turned upside down, scattering debris and creating a dusty wind.
In the wind of dust colored red-brown due to rotting trees, the hem of black clothes flutters like the feathers of war.
“found.”
[You bastard…!]
It was a moment that truly resembled the castle flower garden.
“I won’t miss it this time.”
The only thing different is one thing.
“Trash.”
The knight will not miss the tiger like he did then.
* * *
[Kuhuhuhhh!]
“Where!”
The shield was struck in the middle of a forest that was dyed red-brown or purple and gave off a foul smell.
At the same time, a huge golden film spread around the shield, blocking the tiger’s front paws. bang! A loud noise rang out.
Empty!
As if blocking wasn’t enough, the divine power’s blocking pushed the tiger back. It was then that my sword moved.
My sword cut through the air and the skin beyond. If Biryuho had not immediately returned from the form of a huge beast to the form of a human, the wound would have been deeper.
[Humans!]
“Liar! Comrade in arms is a liar! “I heard the tiger gave way to Berserk!”
However, my sword is not the only thing Biryuho must avoid. Berserker swung his halberd wide and struck the spot where the Biryuho was.
If it dodges backwards, it is a bonus to quickly break the halberd with its unique strength and chase after its movements.
Sigh!
“Oh!”
In the meantime, with a sound that would stimulate anyone’s PTSD, a white chain snatched up Leon So Seong-ju.
From my experience, when a rope is tied around my waist and pulled, I feel like I’m going to vomit and the bruises are bad… but it’s still better than staying there.
Wouldn’t it be more of a thriller if you were caught in the body of an ordinary person between a being who goes back and forth between a cancer human and a giant tiger, and three humans opposing him?
[dare! Mine!]
“Hahaha! “Where are you looking?”
“Foolish! He is not yours!”
As a bonus, you can steal Biryuho’s attention.
“now.”
[…!]
“Did you know fractions?”
My sword spit out three black half-moon pieces. It is a bonus that Biryuho, who was running this way to retrieve Soseongju, retreated again.
This was established by a being whose overall color was duller than last time.
[No such thing as a human!!!]
He seems to have forgotten that the being he covets is also a human being. I can’t help but say that because it’s a special rose.
“The condition is serious. “Hurry and carry it to the rear.”
“Wammaya. “Shouldn’t I give you this medicine first?”
“If it’s medicine, it’s here.”
“…missing child?”
“You said you would be a man who wouldn’t be touched, but you broke your promise before you even got married?”
“Mi mia.”
However, Soseongju has already crossed over to this side and there is no need to go back to Biryuho.
I was quite surprised when Dev and the small lord of Camburgh came to visit me, saying they would come with me, holding a sword. In the end, he had no choice but to allow the spirit of representing everyone’s revenge, but after confirming that he was taking Leon Soseongju, he swung his sword in a circular motion.
The sword moved in a circular motion perpendicular to the floor as if it were an arm movement, leaving black stains in the air. It left a mark of magical power, as if a sword-shaped mark had been stamped in the air.
And when my sword turned half a turn and was perpendicular to the ground, I raised it horizontally.
Hwiik. The black spots left in the air turned 90 degrees and aimed straight ahead.
“kill.”
‘Kill me.’
Like a person who got slapped in Jongno and rolled his eyes at the Han River, the essence that did not ignite here was slowly added to the stain.
‘damn. Even if I was only half as angry as I was sad, by now….’
Shake!
Blades of magic rushed forward like dozens of arrows.
Magical spears were thrust into the shoulders and forepaws of the huge beast that was targeting Berserker’s gap.
“Hahaha!”
One after another, the golden membrane pressed down on Biryuho, who had transformed into a human, and Berserker struck down the halberd, breaking the membrane.
Biryuho urgently raised his arm and blocked it. The ink-colored blade penetrated half of Biryuho’s forearm.
“Good good. “It must be delicious to cut!”
“Haap coming!”
Oh, did they overlap?
I ran at the timing of the Berserker’s attack and saw the Inquisitor trying to swing the golden screen like a baseball bat.
Should I avoid it? No, I don’t want to do that.
Suddenly!
“Demon knight!?”
I used the force shooting forward into my sword and cut off Biryuho’s legs.
In return, he was struck by the divine power shield formed by the Inquisitor… but the damage was less than being hit directly by a mace.
Chii Iik.
So it’s okay. Even if your clothes are slightly burnt, they will eventually recover.
“Don’t interfere! both!”
“Demon Knight, you’re okay, Berserk! This is no joke! “We must all work together!”
“Euiik!”
Rather than that, unity is a complete mess. It was rare for us to cooperate and fight like this, so it was an unavoidable outcome.
After all, Moby Dick is the only time these three have ever faced the same guy together.
Even then, Moby Dick’s body was large and didn’t move much, so it was closer to the feeling of defeating him individually.
Moreover, the Inquisitor was unable to properly engage in battle due to having to adjust the environment. So, it would be even more surprising if it came together.
“I’m going to catch you!”
I readjusted my sword as I looked at the planned mess.
Meanwhile, Biryuho looked even more upset.
Because of the checks, they can’t pass by, and the three of them are trying to find an opening, so it’s not easy, and the opponents are fighting each other, saying they will catch them. If you don’t get angry here, you’ll be a Bodhisattva.
[First, chase those humans… the beasts of the forest!]
And even the idiots don’t listen.
Oh, it’s not that you don’t listen, it’s that you can’t hear? Because I killed everyone I came across on the way.
Everyone says they eat up a lot of magical power and divine power.
Thanks to this, I didn’t have to worry about finding the demonic energy… magic power that I had forgotten about for a while… Anyway, I had no worries about finding the deformed beasts. Anyone can see that this is the source.
Suddenly!
Regardless of whether Biryuho is upset or not, I have no intention of just overlooking it.
[Chuck!]
“Ah, comrade!”
Instead of a two-hender, I took out a long sword and struck with magical power. Bang bang bang! Every time Biryuho’s nails collided with each other, a loud noise rang out.
“I will never believe you next time! “You said you handed it over to me!!”
When did I. He just shouted at me to hand it over on his way, and I never agreed.
And you’re still eating well on your own.
I quickly ran after seeing the halberd put both me and Biryuho in attack range. It seems like the 2:1 structure suddenly became a 1:1:1 three-way match, but I wonder what’s going on.
“Uh uh what should I do?”
The Inquisitor, who had stopped attacking us out of fear of getting hit too, stamped his feet.
“Now do we have to decide the order of fights?”
It’s been a long time since the Archmage lamented that he couldn’t figure out the timing to attack from the beginning.
“Berserk will cut down first.”
“Try it if you can.”
At my declaration, Berserker held his halberd like a tonfa, forming a guard on the outside of his arm.
The hilt was held short so that a length the size of an ordinary sword protruded forward, and the hilt extended behind the elbow.
bang!
A thigh thicker than mine kicked the ground. The ax-like blade made diagonal strokes from bottom to top.
When Biryuho retreats, he bends his forearm and uses the handle that protrudes beyond his elbow to hit his waist and try to hit his solar plexus. Then, he changed his grip method like a water stream and even linked it with a slash with an ax blade.
However, the act of not giving Biryuho a chance to catch his breath makes it easy for me to intervene.
I swung my sword, finding a location where I wouldn’t be disturbed by Berserker. This was right after Biryuho avoided Berserker’s downward strike.
Suddenly!
[This bug…!]
Fearing that Berserker would get caught, instead of sending out sword energy, he only wrapped his magic around his sword and cut it.
However, when Biryuho, aware of the crisis, turned into a huge beast and gave up its front paws, that judgment turned out to be slightly wrong.
If it had been a humanoid, its body would have been cut in half, but since it was an animal, it only cut off about 70cm of its front leg.
It was a deep wound, but considering the size of Lake Biryu, it wasn’t necessarily so. The swordsmanship does not end here, so there is nothing to be too disappointed about.
“you!”
On the other hand, Berserker got angry at my treacherous behavior. It was none of my business.
I poured more magical energy into the long sword and moved it as if pulling it back and then pushing it forward.
A bombard as narrow and finely condensed as the blade of a sword pierced the nape of Biryuho’s neck.
It didn’t penetrate the center, but only slightly grazed the sides, but it must have been quite cool for Biryu Lake.
“That’s Berserk!”
Berserker didn’t sit still either. She swung her halberd past me, who stopped momentarily due to the bombard’s recoil. The long-held halberd rotated once, then twice, and then on the third time, it scrawled the front of the Biryuho.
Quang!
Before Berserker jumped out, Biryuho’s front paw extended to attack me collided with her halberd.
Sigh!
The blade of the halberd pierced Biryuho’s front foot and tore it apart. The fact that the tiger’s paw was divided into two like a goat’s hoof was a bonus.
Biryuho took a step back and cried softly due to the pain of having the top of his foot torn between his toes.
[Humans, such as humans…!]
In addition, there is a sense of revenge built up from being ignored by me and Berserker.
[I will not forgive you!]
Biryuho began to express his anger.
Despite her naughty nature, her platinum-colored fur, which was still pretty, gradually turned grey-blue.
[Never, never!]
Absolutely.
Even from the center of the belly, the pitch black that eats up even the light begins to gradually eat away at Biryuho’s body.
Kwagwagwagak!
The plant’s rapid growth ability, which I had wondered why it was not used, was activated and dozens or hundreds of vines bloomed in a huge area that even included the ground that Berserker and I were stepping on.
[I will send you death!]
What did you do in Phase 2?
That thought passed through my head.
