Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 208

Episode 208: Life is cruel (3)

It is rare for a wizard to be able to see the essence without using items. So he came out and saw it for himself…

and sure enough, something caught his eye. Cheongsanho’s eyes narrowed as he was struck by a huge concealment spell that had no reason to be in the business building.

“I guess I should report it.”

“Did you find something?”

“maybe.”

If the purpose was to protect the product, it would be better to cast a shielding spell. Someone casts a concealment spell.

Even if it is the same magic that covers, shielding is aimed at protection, and concealment is aimed at hiding. There is no wizard who does not know that crucial difference. You shouldn’t know anything about the top level. If they put someone in charge who couldn’t even distinguish between shielding and concealment, they wouldn’t even be eligible for the target group.

“I will be investigating further, so you can report it—”

He opened his mouth to use the escort as a messenger, becoming more and more suspicious of the fact.

Clink.

Then, along with the hallucination of something breaking, something that had been hidden until now was revealed.

He said, “It is to wear silk clothes and leather shoes without seams or needle marks, and to put all the wealth in the world in a bag made of hot ice.” However, the inside of the pocket is like a bottomless pit. Even if it contains something, the hand is not satisfied and wanders around looking for precious things. It does not know how to make itself precious, so it only becomes more and more shabby. It was that kind of existence.

It was that ‘essence’.

“…It’s ruined.”

‘Seeing’ the essence means daring to perceive an abstract concept with the eyes, so there is no more intuitive understanding than this and there is no room for doubt.

So Cheongsanho hit his forehead over the most extreme greed he had ever seen. Since he was even wearing a magic flag, there was nothing more to say about that.

“The devil.”

That was the devil of greed.

“yes?”

“Get ready to fight. Inside, the devil is preparing a ritual.”

Really, why doesn’t the world work the way we want it to?

“That’s…”

Combat isn’t really my specialty. However, there are times when people need to do something that is not their major.

Cheongsanho listened to the escort’s words and fired a signal.

Piyuuung crackling.

It is a signal that informs the surrounding area of a crisis situation with an excessively resounding sound, reveals that the theme is the appearance of a devil with color, and even leaves a clear trail of the shot, informing reinforcements of the location.

“what?”

“Uh oh! that!”

“The devil! “The devil has appeared!”

“Where…!”

“Get out of there and run this way! right now!”

Now all we have to do is wait for reinforcements to arrive. Evacuation of people is a bonus.

“Uh, where should I go…!”

“…! damage!”

“Yes— Wow!”

Then, a porter who was trying to follow his lead out of the store suffered a hole in his stomach and died.

The people who were one step in front of him were scared and came outside.

“…I was wondering why you got caught, why are you here?”

In the meantime, the person who killed the man by piercing his stomach with her hand was a woman covered in blood.

Cheongsanho recognized her identity with difficulty due to her hair color and huge body. He was a person who held the title of secretary of the Lord of Grida or Hoeju.

“Is the world trying to block my path?”

At that time, Huaiju’s secretary gathered magical energy in her hands. no. Cheongsanho’s eyes saw its essence. That was Magi.

“Otherwise there’s no way you’d show up here…!”

A huge, grotesque swollen hand was overlaid with demonic energy and raised sharp nails.

There was no sign of a contract when we met two days ago, but I wonder if a contract was signed in the meantime. Of course, I started following the devil a long time ago.

“I never tried to block your path.”

but. If you think about it, he was a particularly greedy and dirty person among many merchants. Although it is rare, it is not at a level that does not exist in the world. The only problem is that we have interacted without paying much attention to it.

So, next time, let’s consider that as well… and consider… Wait. Let’s interact with each other by considering how many people in the world have a pure nature, especially in the commercial world.

Cheongsanho immediately gave up trying to self-reflect, and decided to remember only the loopholes in ‘eyes that see the essence’ – that there is no way to find out if you just follow without making a contract. Sigh. The warrior in charge of his guard stands in front of him, ready to protect him.

“You blocked your own path.”

People must have evacuated, but Cheongsanho threw an item with an explosive magic without paying attention. Pow! An explosion signaled the start of the battle.

* * *

I wondered if this was the first appearance of the Merman, who eats magical power.

After checking the castle walls, which had become noisy in a different way, I raised my magic even more. The purpose was to kill more Mermen.

If you look at the total number, it may not seem like it’s noticeable, but anyway.

“There are so many rotten fish…!”

Oh, don’t shout. head hurts.

I held my head as if it was about to explode. There was nothing I could do about it because the magic spear had to recognize the target, anticipate its next movement, and then shoot it at the right timing.

Plus, there are a lot of enemies targeting them now, so there is twice as much to think about.

Honestly, at this point, I want to dive into the sea and slash horizontally. If the height was just right, I could handle it in one go. The risk is high and it is quite cruel, but if successful, it will be efficient and fast.

…although it is very cruel and dangerous.

“It explodes!”

I caught one of the attacks with my keen senses. It was late earlier, but now it is different.

Pow!

An explosion occurred in the air. The sound could be heard from the turret, but it wasn’t as loud as before.

“You’re the best!”

“Are you a wizard? “Is that why you came from a wizard background?”

Hey hey hey Don’t hit me on the back. I lose focus. Two magic spears have now missed!

ah!

I dodged the adventurer who tried to pat me on the back excitedly. Even at this moment, the Mermen were still coming, so I had to continue my attack.

with a splash!

At that time, Mermen attempted to attack from outside the range I was covering. The destination was a bridge.

bang!

Wow… I’ve never seen it with the naked eye until now, so I wondered how it would attack, and it turned out that it was just a footless Merman hitting its tail with a physical attack.

Crazy guys.

“Aim for the legs!”

“Leave it alone! “Kill whatever is in front of you!”

I couldn’t bear to continue speaking as I watched the merman fall into the sea after hitting its leg with its tail.

Do you want to do that even though you know your tail will get crushed and broken? Looking at them, they seem to have the intelligence of a human being. Do you feel less fear because you are a devil?

“Still, I’m glad it’s no different from usual. “This time it was so late that I thought a tsunami would come along.”

Then, the adventurer sitting next to me said something like that.

S…T…AY! Stop the flag…!

Stop saying things that sound like a tsunami is coming…!

Quang!

“…!”

Look at me! As soon as you finish speaking, something happens!

I raised my head when I heard a vaguely strange sound. I told you not to leave your seat, but I need to check this.

I put some pressure on my feet and then jumped to go through the hole for the ladder and go upstairs. One more floor to go is the roof.

“Wait a minute, where are you going! The protest is—!”

widely!

My body jumped again and crawled to the top of the turret. Then the sparsely lit night sea came into view.

“Come down! No matter how capable you are…!”

Blunt.

The soldier who guided me here and was in command eventually came up. He seemed very upset, but I couldn’t care less.

“I told you not to move around arbitrarily! Right now…”

“Can’t you see that?”

“…what?”

Most people who see something floating in the sea at night will do the same.

“…What is that.”

Apparently, the other side of the sea seen during the day was full of only the horizon, but now land was vaguely added.

A rather round and huge piece of land.

It seems like something that is getting bigger is coming.

“What island…?”

At that time, the waves got worse. Of course. I don’t know what that thing is, but if it was truly approaching, it wouldn’t be surprising if the current from its movements turned into a wave and came towards me.

“This is not the time…!”

Then the soldier shouted loudly. Are you trying to tell me to go back after seeing that? If so, it is an excellent work ethic.

The moment he was about to do so, the soldier grabbed a nearby instrument.

Tak tatak tak tatak.

It was a searchlight. It is quite similar to a modern searchlight, but it is a bit primitive in that the front cover is raised and lowered.

In addition, opening and closing the lid to send light in various ways was reminiscent of Earth’s Morse code.

In other cities, it is still at the level of a beacon, but I wonder why this place is so developed.

“after.”

After all, I can’t play around while the soldier is doing his job.

I want to observe that thing, but I can’t go down… In fact, location isn’t that important when it comes to killing Merman.

I watched the land getting bigger and bigger and made a bunch of magic spears. The magical spears that fell like rain killed tens or hundreds of Mermen regardless of the various turret areas.

With this, I estimate the number of Mermen I have killed to be three or four hundred. This raid MVP is definitely mine. I never wanted it and it is useless. Hmph.

“Retreat!”

While I was cracking jokes to relax, a signal came from the wall. It was a good decision.

Looking at the vague sense of distance, it seems like the opponent is incredibly large, but honestly, if something like that gets this far, the turret will turn into Jenga.

In other words, it feels like it will collapse if you just push it a little too hard, without going as far as hitting it with its body.

“Get out of here first! Cover the rest!”

The soldier went downstairs, leaving me alone, as if he had forgotten me. The inside was a little shaken by his shouts, but soon they started moving.

Because the Mermen had hit him a few times, his leg was quite weak, but no one said anything.

When people were talking about cancer, taking even one step further would be helpful in saving his life.

Now, what I have to think about now is how to catch it. It’s not easy to come up with a plan because its identity is uncertain due to visibility and darkness.

Still, if it is that wide and big, there will be a lot of places to step on, so it will be easy to fight. It’s already hard to think about the castle wall collapsing if he hits it.

“come!”

“run…!”

I destroyed the head of the Merman who jumped up to collapse the bridge and then took care of the guys climbing the tower.

Anyway, they were like observant ghosts. They immediately realize that we are retreating and gather together.

“good. “I provide cover.”

“…Damn it. People like you are the worst. Discipline is being broken!”

Still, people live there.

I sent people away while listening to the other person who said that, because the person who said that actually looked worried about me. The magical spears that continued to form continued to hit the sea surface like raindrops. Instead of warmth, it was rain that took life.

“Wow!”

He also paid attention to nearby turrets. People there seemed to have received a retreat signal and were retreating.

“Come across!”

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for people to retreat.

I received a signal from the other side and slowly prepared to leave the turret. As the horsepower had dropped to less than half, I had to go ahead and do maintenance again.

“What!”

“Dangerous!”

Quang!

The problem is…yeah. They all crossed anyway. Several of them will attack at the same time from earlier. My head hurt so much and I had a fever, so I stopped paying attention, but a few animals crawled over and attacked my legs.

Whoosh. As I heard before, the speed at which the bridge collapsed seemed to be faster than expected.

“…!”

The bridge I was supposed to step on collapsed before my body could reach the other side.
