Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 308

Episode 308: Tell Me (2)

“Cleansing up the plague is more urgent than treating those in critical condition. “Can I ask you for that part?”

“Yes yes!”

The bishop pointed to the place where plague patients were being quarantined. “Hero?” However, some of those who were doing their duty here recognized the warrior.

“…Arch Mage, Heretic Questioner Daniel.”

“You… did you come to kill him?”

Well, some of them were people brought by the hero himself, so it wouldn’t be anything special. It may be unusual for a warrior to stiffen his face at the call of one of them.

“We’ll talk about it later. “I have to save people now…”

“…I understand.”

However, the hero changed his words awkwardly, the person who agreed to it made a gloomy face, and the archmage caught in the middle flinched and eventually focused on his work.

If you think about this entire situation, it is nothing more than a small story. They, including the religious leader, began to busy themselves with their priority duties.

“Bishop, are you really going to wait and see?…”

However, during the process, the priest who was like my right hand man asked me secretly. There is no need to ask about the missing subject.

The bishop squeezed his empty shoulder for a moment. His arm, which had been temporarily treated with bandages and styptics, was still bleeding and was gnawing at his lifeline in real time.

“Do you want to do anything else here?”

“yes?”

“Can we do something more?”

However, if you look around him, most people have already reached the end of their lives. Unlike him, who is alive and breathing even though an arm has been lost, there are plenty of people around him who died without even getting a chance to survive.

“Priests, keep your mouths in check and each one do what he can. “Just like it has been all along.”

How can I try any further than this in front of them? How can you be so stubborn that you must be hostile to him because he is the vessel of the devil?

“That means…”

“Also, what you can do here is to heal people or comfort them, not to go out to slay the devil.”

In his opinion, what Bishop Bemurgen said was not particularly wrong. It is true that rejecting the devil is acknowledged by God, and it is also dangerous to look at the beings out there.

However, if you want to follow his words, that is not the case. He was a person who believed that saving people was more important than slaying demons. If there was a possibility of compromise that could be postponed to a later date if executing the devil required dozens of sacrifices, he was the one who could accept it.

“Wasn’t the bishop also on guard? It was with that mindset that you stayed until now…”

“It is true that you waited with the mindset of just in case. But it turns out that’s not the case.”

Of course, as someone who had been opposing the devil all my life, I couldn’t let go of my guard. It’s humanoid, and I can feel the demon energy inside it, so what can I do?

To him, this situation was similar to a giant cockroach coming with a mop and wiping the house thoroughly, shouting, ‘I am not your enemy.’

Although they are clearly doing something helpful and are not showing hostile intentions, I feel physiologically disgusted by them. This is even more so because a swarm of other cockroaches had invaded his house just before and made a mess of it.

“If you want to add more words, do so after all urgent fires have been extinguished. After that, I won’t stop you either.”

But it’s really hard to believe.

That giant cockroach, or rather that being that contains the devil, is clearly friendly to them. To the point where heroes and great masters are so steadfast that they only help humans rather than harm them.

“However, I am not sure if the hero will agree.”

If so, shouldn’t we have to bear it somehow on this side as well? It’s not like I have the power to suppress it anyway.

“That’s because you are still young…”

“Just because you are young doesn’t mean you don’t know mercy and justice.”

Above all, the bishop quite liked what the warrior said.

Isn’t the unique spirit and undiminished goodness of a young person so clear that he must save one person even if it means giving up his job?

“Sacrificing a cow for the greater good can certainly be efficient, but it is inevitably a tragedy for a heartless person who takes it for granted to become a hero. “How lucky are we that he is the one who can say that?”

There is kindness in the commandments given to humans by God, so it is inevitable that those who know it well will become warriors.

“The justice and charity discussed by the representative are no different from what God cries out for.”

* * *

“Your Holiness, you must evacuate immediately—!”

“God’s sanctuary is being invaded and the lambs of this land continue to die. “Where am I?”

Meanwhile, it was a time when someone was spitting out potentially damaging words, someone was delaying the bomb as long as possible, and someone was relieved to see the hero’s human image. In the western land where the world’s second highest and longest mountain range is located, a woman clasped her hands together.

“Evacuate the deacons and young priests first. “The old man who has lived long enough to live will die with the devil.”

The temple that the repentant thief Dismas devoted his life to building embraced her like a cradle.

She recited the prayer, prepared to turn the cradle into a grave. Each time a pillar of light erupted, wrinkles appeared on her cheeks and neck. The wrinkles were more shriveled and stretched than time had given them.

“Oh my, you became a new grandmother for a moment.”

However, before her face was covered in wrinkles, the door opened with a loud bang. The few new characters that come in are quite old faces.

“What did everyone do when they weren’t gone?”

“If we go, who will have time to avoid the babies?”

“I came to see if our Holy Father would be lonely if he died alone.”

“Tsk, go slow, go slow.”

They came without a single paladin and found their place on their own as if they had planned it in advance. The circular formation formed by twelve cardinals, including the Pope, began to shine even more than before.

“This… is quite a burden.”

However, as the light grew stronger, their expressions got worse by the minute. Although the number of people bearing the burden of power increased, the total number of subordinates also increased, so it was inevitable.

Their muscles began to ripen, their flesh swelled, and their internal organs began to dry out. Aging in appearance was just an aftereffect. They began to rot and die from the inside out.

“Let’s go first….”

He shakes it off.

And somehow, someone became a mummy and died without shedding a single drop of blood.

“Me too…”

That wasn’t the end. One person died and another person died. In an instant, five seats became empty.

“Devil, why are you targeting underdeveloped things to enjoy something? Come here. “The old men you are after are here.”

Despite this, they did not stop, reciting prayers, calling on God, and bringing in light.

The darkness that had been coming so fiercely was pushed back and shattered each time. It was like waves on the shore. Light and darkness collided and the flying powder flew in all directions like foam.

dump.

Meanwhile, another cardinal fell. Looking at it, the Pope lowered his eyelids. I felt the waves of light pushing away the darkness in the distance being crushed by something’s paws.

Passasasak. With each step it took, a young woman came. Kang Sang-ha was just white without any hidden light.

[You who are not afraid of death, what value do you think your sacrifice would be?] The beast with

the long face of a wolf and the mane of a lion and the coldness of a snowy field stared at the Pope, spitting out frost all over him. Its eyes seemed to peer into her inner self through the white stone temple building.

[The true God has now appeared on this earth, so if you want a pain-free end, quickly bow your head and pray.]

“The God I serve is not your master, and your master is not the true God. How can I bow my head? “Give up the downfall and destruction you brought and disappear.”

[I advised you with the same mercy as the sea, but you refuse and drink poison. It’s foolish.]

However, they are beings of symmetry that can never be mixed.

At the Pope’s words, the blue wolf opened its long snout wide. As breath escaped from their pitch-black mouths, the two cardinals who were barely holding on collapsed and the light froze.

Flap!

Also, a bird with black and blue wings spread flew over the frozen light. Every time the featherless, membrane-covered wings flapped, the ground caught fire along with a rumbling sound. It was a fire that burned without heat and decayed without ash.

Cough. Another cardinal collapsed with a coughing sound.

Now all that remained were two cardinals and the Pope.

[I can’t believe they’re still holding on.]

But the moment the white leg stepped on the marble path, even the two remaining people withered and died. Wow. Even the Pope fell forward, coughing dryly.

[It’s amazing. I thought I would be trampled like a bug. I guess I underestimated my human being too much.]

“Whoa.”

While she was clutching her neck and screaming, the one with the crown horns walked along the road. There was nothing to stop him. Both humans and walls were destroyed by his faithful messenger and peacock.

[I praise you. Your struggle drew my hand once more.]

Even the deacons and young priests who were running away, led by the Holy Knights and Inquisitors.

[One is struggling. All your hard work has been in vain. There is no meaning to your struggles.]

Tears streamed from the Pope’s eyes as he recognized this. The tears were red instead of transparent.

“How can even those little ones!”

[Hmm?]

“How cruel is someone who calls himself a god! “How cruel!”

[Is this cruel?]

Mineral eyes, neither green nor the light of the sea, tilted their heads with long eyelashes.

[You are saying strange things. If your God is also a being who reigns as a merciless, merciless and unfair equal, then why do you bring such an accusation against me? Is it because I am a being outside of providence and order?]

“My god and you are in different positions!”

[That’s a funny thing to say. Some harshness is only allowed because it belongs to God.]

Srureuk. The veil that swayed along with the nods sparkled in various colors according to the incoming light. Like a piece of the rainbow that God wears.

[That is no different from the saying that location determines qualifications.]

Also, the scepter held in the slender hand struck the earth with unfading light and unbreakable jewels.

[If that’s the rule, I would definitely aim for the highest place.]

Took. Water droplets rising from beneath the earth gathered together to form a puddle and a pond.

The land where the Great Hall was located was submerged in an overturned lake and began to float.

“no! “O proud one, you will fall without ever reaching heaven!”

The Pope, who was barely able to breathe, shouted his last struggle. [Rude.] The lion, which had been quietly staying behind its owner, secretly revealed its teeth. The white breath froze the Pope’s body.

[I could have burned it.]

[Cremation is a funeral method that sends people off in a proper manner. How can one show respect to someone who has disrespected the Emperor?]

The lion said this to the featherless bird and bowed his head to his master. [Please give me the punishment I deserve for stepping forward without an order.] It was only then that Pride, who was smiling like a painting, opened his mouth.

[It was done. How should I punish his loyalty to me?]

Instead of punishing the lion, he tapped the surface of the lake with the scepter he was holding. Below the overturned lake, a pitch-black shadow began to fall from the empty space that was once the sky. It was a long and huge dragon.

Wow!

The dragon, which was falling down toward the surface of the water, opened its huge mouth. Sigh! And in the end, it passed through the overturned surface of the lake with a loud splash, swallowing the frozen body.

Only the ripples and foam on the lake slowly prove the scene that just happened.

[This is the end of my family.]

In the midst of this, Gyoman quietly humbled himself. Grumbling. The huge scales that came between the waves spread out like a throne and supported his body.

[Then, you things made of snow and fire, prove your loyalty to me. Those who bring more blood and flesh will receive my favor.]

[I accept the one and only command of heaven.]

[I accept.]

Those endowed with reason and wisdom to discern right and wrong spread their wings and legs. .

[This is probably the end of the West.]

However, even though everyone is stepping forward, there are people who do not intervene.

The blindfolded shepherd wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and touched the ground with a wooden staff.

[Have you achieved everything you wanted?]

[The fall of the West is like that. A foolish beast betrayed my expectations.]

[…Did he fail?]

[The goal of fixing the gaze was achieved, but he died. So, you can never say that you benefited from the exchange fee.]

[Well…]

The shepherd expressed regret at the owner’s words and bent his back towards somewhere. Slurp. When the flowing hem of his clothes seems to be touching the ground for a moment, his free hand picks up something that has fallen on the ground.

[This is…]

[It’s a scripture.]

[Ha. Is that also true? Rude things. They will leave some books behind, but they will burn them all without distinction.]

[The books here must be aimed solely at the gods of this land. How do you care about that, my shepherd?]

[My Heaven, I have chosen knowledge as the sacrifice to fill my void. Even if it is a heresy, how can you resist the desire to put it into your head?]

As the shepherd said so, he opened the scripture he had picked up. Instead of eyes covered with cloth, my fingertips scanned every page of the scriptures.

[But, heaven, if the god here does not know kindness and does not know generosity, and only functions in circulation and order, then how can it be written in the scriptures here that God has given commandments?]

It was clearly an excess of authority, but it was continued with unspoken permission.

[Why did he tell us to respect our parents and cherish our families, and why did he command us to be kind to our neighbors? Murder, adultery, and theft are nothing but misdeeds to nature. How could the God of this earth command these things without mercy?]

With closed eyes, the shepherd boy Abel committed another wrongdoing.

Pride’s eyes narrowed and his smile became a little deeper.

[That’s because it is humans who write down the scriptures.]

[…?]

[Isn’t the first human truly arrogant to impersonate the words of God in order to establish a law?]

Did he laugh at the overstepping of authority called a question, or did he laugh at the question’s authority? There is no time to tell whether the content made you laugh.

[In the end, charity and justice are conceived in the hearts of humans, not in God. In the end, only humans can decide what is right and wrong in human affairs. Only humans, not gods.]

However, Gyemyeongseong’s jewel-like eyes gazed intently at its shepherd and stretched out its winged cloak. Saruk. The first feather forcibly lifted Abel’s chin. Even though I repeatedly swept it with my sleeve, there was still a faint trace of blood on my chin.

[So, my shepherd, why did you give your life to a mere doll? Why did you dare to break the leash I had fastened to it?]

The shepherd, who had been acting stiffly as if he had no fear, trembled for the first time.
