Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 17

◈Episode 17 The price of ignorance (3)

I felt like I wanted to close my eyes at the unexpected development.

In the original work, I know that the draugr incident is connected to demonic contractors and worshipers, and since I’m not the type of person who dislikes such events, I find it a lot of fun.

Why Gretchen all of a sudden? It’s out of the blue. Not even Gretchen, the spinner.

“If you are captured by a heretic, I will help you. “Let’s go enjoy the ritual of slaughter.”

I wasn’t that surprised by the event itself. This is because most early game events are like this, so it is familiar.

However, the name ‘Gretchen’ is still a bit different. The reason for choosing Gretchen was not only unclear, but also unappealing.

“Are you Gretchen?”

Still, it’s not me who gives the name, but the game company, so I think it’s better to leave my personal opinion for later. Maybe it means something.

Above all, there were more things to watch out for in the devil contractor’s remarks. There is no way an NPC would have appeared that mentions the right-hand devil for no reason.

The highest possibility would be the Devil Knight’s personal story, right? Oh, if I accept that offer, could I betray humanity and side with the devils?

“You’re so proud of your mouth that it’s pierced.”

I wonder what will happen if I accept that offer. However, in terms of concept, it is completely unreasonable in this episode.

Still, it doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it now because it will be repeated several times. I grabbed the two-hender tightly.

“…I made a mistake. I apologize. There is no way Gretchen would be captured by a heretic or something.”

Regardless of what I was thinking, I raised my eyebrows with the intention of rolling my eyes, and the other person immediately calmed down. Conceptually, the angry point is the other side, but they don’t seem to have noticed it yet.

“But… Gretchen, that is not an ordinary heretic, but the most dangerous being called a warrior. Stop enjoying the entertainment and hit your head. “If you hold your head high, the king will be happy.”

Well, okay. I’ve heard a lot about this.

If the concept had been more rational, I would have pretended to be on the same side and extracted more information, but with the current concept, that is not possible.

I could have captured him and tortured him, because I had the temperament and setup to not do something so cunning.

“Can I help you?”

“Breaker.”

So what you can do is grind the bread first.

Quang!

“Are you Gretchen?!”

Evie. Don’t mix words.

When I was misunderstood and attacked by the Inquisitor, the opponent was a priest who was the opposite of the devil. Now, I was misunderstood as a ‘demon comrade’ by a ‘demon contractor’. Why do I mix things up?

Even if he had not been misunderstood in the first place, it is questionable whether he would have mixed up his words. It’s lucky if you don’t swing a knife at the first time.

“What…”

So, unlike the Inquisitor, even if you ask for forgiveness, everything flies away. Just say it right.

“Hi!”

Perhaps because it was a skill with such a large movement, the skill failed to hit the target. However, I was able to hit the draugr who was in front protecting the robin.

Ugh.

The fog split in half and the ghost made a strange sound. It was a cry that was close to a scream.

“I was wrong. “Please forgive me!”

At the sound of the draugr’s cries, the robin looked thoughtful – his face was visible even though it was covered by his robes – and fell flat on the floor.

It was a bit of a strange reaction.

“Forgiveness?”

Now that I think about it, the draugr doesn’t attack me even once for some reason. There were definitely two attack timings.

Just because it’s an event? Considering the Inquisitor’s case, that is unlikely. It wasn’t a soft enough game to be considered an event.

“Not even death will be able to save you.”

It’s a bit questionable, but I’ll give it a try first.

I stared at the draugrs, who were the most threatening. If you were to be honest, it would be right to kill the support demon contractor first, but it didn’t seem like the draugrs would be able to get through easily.

“I didn’t mean to mess with Mabel Store! “If I’d known Gretchen was watching, I never would have done that!”

What are you saying now? Why is the story of Mabel Company mentioned here?

I furrowed my brow as I used my skill to hit the draugr. The random mention of ‘Mabel Company’ was worth it.

Quang!

“Please forgive me!”

I lowered my sword and rolled my head.

Why is it that the entire city’s merchant houses are mentioned now? That’s also the name of the group that I received and solved 3 quests for.

Although it was already expected, was it really your fault?

“Drauger!”

The demon contractor eventually set up the draugr as a shield and the draugr revealed its teeth. Smoke was gathered together to create limbs and a blade and shield were erected.

The draugr’s eye glow became stronger and its body began to glow red, as if the demon contract had strengthened it.

“Not the same number…!”

But there is no reason for me to lose to it. I don’t know the exact level, but as long as I reached the recommended level for the quest, there was no way I would be pushed back!

Cough!

Breaker. The sword swung diagonally was deflected by the draugr’s shield. Thanks to this, instead of touching the floor, the tip seemed to be scratching the floor and I turned over the hand that was holding the ricasso part.

The blade bounced off the draugr’s sword, somewhere between a cut and a thrust. Pow! My feet are pushing against the draugr’s shield as if stepping on it.

“…Seup.”

Exhaling through the gap I had gained, I recalled the skill effect that had just been wrapped around the sword.

Since the skill called Breaker was activated only when it slashed diagonally, it is not surprising that black energy is coming out steadily.

It’s strange that even when I lifted it up and cut it down, the energy was still there. I have something new to try.

Ugh.

While the accident was happening, my body was faithfully moving forward. I changed my hands again and swung the sword.

Because it was irregular, the blade with black energy was fired along the target mark that was floating only on the head.

Suddenly!

Wow!

The draugr’s body split in half, retreated quickly, and came back together. This is why the indefinite form was tricky.

“Oh, no. “Recovery.”

“Are you struggling with this topic…!”

There is no recovery. I retrieved my right hand that was holding the sword and put it towards my chest. The dagger hanging inside the coat was held between my fingers.

Wow.

“Ahh!”

As long as the aim is good, a dagger is a very useful weapon. I checked the dagger stuck in the robin’s shoulder (almost near the chest) and then adjusted the sword.

The aim isn’t bad, but it’s not even close to being able to land a headshot, so I was satisfied with that.

Whoa!

And there was a draugr that attacked right away, too much to focus on the demon contractor.

I stood up as if guarding the two-hender, avoiding the haze that was rushing towards me to grab my ankle. Of course, if you only hold on to the handle, it will be pushed away, so don’t forget to hold the blade with your gauntleted hand to support it.

Cough!

The draugr’s blade was blocked by the blade stretched between my hands, and I pushed the draugr away. Although it was an irregular form, it materialized when attacking, so this was possible.

Pow!

The moment the pushed draugr gave me some distance, I tested the question I had just raised.

If the effect is maintained for a few more seconds after slamming down, will the effect continue even when used in quick succession? If the effect continues, what about the skill effect?

No, in the first place, how far is the form of slashing allowed?

Until now, when I used a breaker, I used it with the feeling of hitting with all my might. Because it seemed that the skill would be used that way.

However, due to the draugr’s shield, the downward strike had failed halfway, but the skill continued for a long time.

Doesn’t that mean you don’t have to hit with all your might?

With that question in mind, I slashed down with all my strength. It wasn’t that difficult. Since my right arm was holding the sword body rather than the handle, even if I applied a lot of force, it was not enough to reach the floor.

Suddenly!

So my blade cut down the draugr, and the skill effect was maintained even after that.

Sigh. This was the case even though I held the blade forward as if stabbing and retrieved my hand as if I was skimming the blade with a gauntlet so as not to get in the way in the process.

Kwasik!

Wow!!!

「❖ The evil lurking in the village

∎ Eliminate the draugrs 1 / 1

∎ Capture the demon contract 0 / 1」

The draugrs that pierced the center of the target mark scattered downward as if melting. The fog over the son-in-law has noticeably reduced.

The experiment was a huge success, as this damage was probably caused not only by the skill effect but also by the effect continuing.

“what!”

At that moment, the demon contractor screamed. If they had used attack magic to support the draugrs, they wouldn’t have been pushed back like this. I wonder why they didn’t do that.

“after.”

Still, I guess that’s because I have thoughts. Or maybe it’s the force of the game.

With that in mind, I adjusted my sword and held it. Crack, thump. Footsteps along with heavy breathing were heard from afar.

“…!”

Did someone hear the commotion and come? I glanced in that direction and the demon contractor also turned his head, clutching his bleeding chest.

“Demon knight!”

“…Damn heretic!”

Ah, now that I think about it, there were those two.

“…! Is this Chirunguni who sold his body and soul to the devil? “I will join you as a demon knight!”

“Oh no, we’ve already been fighting.”

The Inquisitor, with his eyes on the demon contractor, raised his fangs and raised his mace, and the Archmage also raised his staff.

Suddenly, it was as if those two people, me in the back and those in the front, had surrounded the devil contractor.

“How dare you betray us, Gretchen!”

“…!”

In the end, the devil contractor shouted in a resigned manner. The Inquisitor’s expression hardened, making me wonder if there was another misunderstanding.

“Why—!”

“How dare a traitor to humanity talk about betrayal!”

Fortunately, there is no misunderstanding. First of all, seeing as he isn’t pointing a weapon at me, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be hostile with those words.

“why?”

Anyway, listening to that noise and staying still didn’t suit the concept, so I wrinkled my nose and swung the two-hender. Then, of course, I didn’t think that I could die.

“How dare you ask me why, you bastard!”

Anyway, a capture quest appeared, but there was no way the target would die. Rather, there will be a production where you have to deplete all of your HP to capture him in a subdued state.

Oh, of course, this game has never had a cut scene except for the beginning, so I don’t know what will happen.

Quang!

But my attack failed. This is because the magic bullet that flew in hit my two-hender and deflected the direction of the attack.

Thanks to this, the blade struck the ground right next to the demon contractor. The earth split apart and the demon contractor screamed.

“Are you disturbing me…!”

I don’t know why I interrupted him, but I got angry and started watching.

I heard all sorts of things from the cancer-hating devil (contractor) and was even accused of betrayal in the end, but I’m not angry, I’m just disgusted. I was even blocked from expressing my anger.

“Take it easy. “More can be gained by capturing the author than by killing him.”

“We can’t leave the devil bastard alive!”

“There might be other devils in the city besides him!”

The Archmage lowered his staff and cast Binding. What was tied up were my arms and the demon contract.

“Draugr are no ordinary demons. It’s a devil that’s even harder to summon alone in a city like this. “There is a high probability that there will be a tailgater.”

It wasn’t difficult to break the binding chains. However, that brief moment of time was exactly what the Archmage had hoped for.

“Hani, calm down and be patient. If we kill the author now, we may appease his anger for a moment, but we cannot save the victims who may arise. Don’t let anger obscure your vision.”

“….”

No, I know that too. I was trying to suppress him too. I really didn’t mean to kill you…

Is it possible that the suppression quest here doesn’t require you to drop your HP to the bottom?

「Capturing│Capturing must be attempted with some of your stamina reduced.

If the target dies during capture, the capture will be a failure.”

“…Damn it!”

puck!

“Gagging!”

I’m telling you this now. Gaming legend.

I kicked the demon contractor with my foot, feeling a tug in my back, and put the two-hender into the sheath. Fortunately, there was no one to stop him from kicking.

“…I mentioned Mable Company.”

“hmm?”

Oh yeah. I should tell you this too. Even if I tell you, I don’t know if they will react or if it will affect the story, but I’m curious.

“That’s… very important information.”

As expected, Godgame was different no matter what. Of course, I don’t know if the story has really changed with this, or is there any response to it?

“I will transport you by airlift.”

Meanwhile, the Inquisitor, who was slightly rolling his eyes, once again bound the demon contractor with a holy spell.

It was time to return to the temple.
