Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 371

Episode 371: Knowing each step (5)

Kwaaaaang—!

Just as the girl was about to pull the trigger, the sky on the other side shattered. Falling below is a huge wolf and a brilliant prominence piercing it.

Ah, I found it. The brightest star.

The girl redirected the Taser. Taang! The cartridge spit out an iron spit toward the floor. Jijijijik! Because it was not charged properly, an electric shock occurred that was somewhat less powerful.

“Ugh!”

Also, thanks to that, the girl saved her life. Electric shock. It was a harmful effect when a Taser was fired at a close range when the girl was not expecting it. The only thing that lost its power was heavenly luck.

“…!”

Is it just the price of saving one’s life? The girl failed to escape at once. Tick. There was a crack in the seemingly bare floor, but it was only that small.

The floor did not break, so the girl was unable to go through the ordeal. The girl, whose burned arms and legs were trembling, gritted her teeth. Cheoeok. It was at that time that the girl’s right arm, which was still intact, was lifted.

Empty!

“It breaks!”

Empty!

“Break down!”

The girl knocked on the broken floor again and again. Even at that moment, the black fog approached her, but it turned away. My burnt skin was cracked from the impact, but I didn’t care. Drops of blood fell from Jirmun’s lips.

“yet!”

And when the black fog began to swallow the girl’s entire body.

“It’s not over!!”

Clink!

The universe shattered.

With the girl’s body.

* * *

Taang!

In a world where the only sounds were those made by me and the wolf, an unusually clear sound of gunfire was heard. Yes, that was the sound of a gunshot. A sound that would come from an L-shaped piece of metal that would smell like gunpowder.

Kyaoooo!

However, its sound was immediately drowned out. Maybe it’s close to being forgotten. What was important to me right now was not the sound of gunfire, which I didn’t know where it came from, but the huge monster in front of me.

“die.”

Crash!

I drove the knife deeper into the wolf’s head. Then the wolf leaned back helplessly.

They say it’s the mass of a planet, but I don’t know what kind of magic Erutalc and Suzaku cast on me.

“Hmph!”

But just a little bit more, up to where the brain would be in a normal life form. more.

I’m not sure if this is safe or not.

With that determination, I pushed the blade endlessly. My body felt more sluggish than before, as if the wolf’s power was trying to act on me, but I pretended not to notice as much as I could. The blessings granted to me and this sword did not simply increase our strength.

Grumble!

The blade stuck through the hardened fog spewed out a torrent of red flames. It was a flame that not only consumed those around it, but also burned its owner.

“If I knew it would be like this…! “God, I should have asked you to walk with something stronger!”

I expressed some disappointment as I looked at both my arms, which were getting charred. If I had been greedy and received stronger blessings, this wouldn’t have happened. It was a huge regret.

[It’s coming, you.]

「It’s coming from the left!」

Still, the first goal (pushing away) was achieved. I left the knife and walked away without any hesitation. A sword with flames will continue to burn until its protection runs out.

Slurp!

At that time, a small amount of magical energy was consumed, and at the same time, pure white slime was created in the air near my hand. Starting from a point, it gradually increases in mass and stretches out elongatedly.

[You’re not going to fight with your bare hands, right?]

‘Is that you…’

[You promised me earlier. In a situation where the safety of the body is at stake, it is okay to intervene a little. You’re not saying this is not possible, right?]

I felt bad, but it was an offer I couldn’t just refuse. I grabbed the white object taking shape with a slight discomfort and stinging sensation on my tongue.

‘Say it next time.’

[Control Freak? I don’t really like it, but if it’s my dear Gretchen, I can’t help it.]

「I told you not to say unnecessary things! Sorry Gretchen! “I’ll make sure you don’t make a fuss!”

Uh… It’s good to keep him quiet, but since you and him are going to have a conversation, wouldn’t it be better to just let him make a fuss? I carefully conveyed that opinion and moved it between my fingers.

[So you really wanted to talk to me?]

‘Are you sure? ‘I need to concentrate, so shut up.’

Ting tiding!

The long spear swatted away the flying thorn hairs—perhaps because they had lost their form as clouds, now only hard attacks came.

It was a little awkward to handle because it was an unfamiliar item, but the system window that came to mind after a long time helped me. It was a correction window that showed recommended paths or recommended sword paths that are rarely seen when handling a sword.

“I don’t know much about spears either, since I don’t have much experience with them, but I will apply.”

‘Oh, thank you for your help.’

I hit it to the left, I hit it to the right, and since I can’t swing it with my hands, I kick it with my feet to rotate the bar and then hit it. When the pole is upright, hold it upright and then lower it down to block the thorns. Then naturally step on it and run…

Oh, this is a bit of a headache.

[By the way, I am also helping. You.]

“You shut up!”

It’s good to be informed of directions or gaps at the right time without being restricted by skills anymore. Sometimes recommending appropriate movements is also a good thing for me.

But sometimes I think the difficulty level is too high.

I threw the spear into the air and kicked the end to make it spin. The moment the spear, which rotated quickly like a rotating plate, bounced off two thorn hairs, my hand grabbed it again.

There, two checks were made at both ends of the pole. Tingting. While running, twist your body and hit the bar on the other side and jump as if you were jumping. Crack. Next, keep the tip of the stick facing forward and throw it out to keep new thorn hairs in check. Tiding tingting.

I performed each pose one by one as if I was playing a rhythm game… or rather, a dance game. It was a bit difficult because it was an unfamiliar weapon, but fortunately it wasn’t completely impossible to digest.

Before I knew it, my body was close to the wolf’s head again.

‘Definitely a baton might be better when dealing with something like this.’

[They didn’t make it that way for no reason?]

A sword could cut off the thorn hairs, but from my experience so far, there’s a high chance that they will regenerate right away if you cut them.

In fact, the dents made by the baton were seen being restored to their original state in just one second and flying back.

So, it seems like it would be much more beneficial to ensure safety by pushing and striking away, rather than causing a wound that would heal anyway. No matter how hard we try, we are just maintaining the status quo, so some kind of breakthrough is needed.

“Hmph!”

In any case, the only breakthrough I have right now is that sword stuck in the wolf’s head. I jumped up and stepped on the wolf’s skin, and my legs ran along its snout.

Kyaaa!!

Of course, the wolf didn’t just watch. Its mouth opened, its head shook wildly, and it tried to shake me off.

“after.”

But, this level of struggle is nothing compared to the fights we’ve had so far.

On the contrary, it’s even comfortable at this point. At least the spot he steps on doesn’t disappear, scatter, or sprout new tentacles like before.

Even if you hit the thorn hairs that have been pouring down so far, they will fly back, change direction randomly, or break up in the air and scatter, so they are not easy at all… but for me, this is still better. I hate things that are flexible and squishy and don’t have a clear shape.

Tidding! Ting!

After much debate, I finally stood back at the spot where I had stuck my sword earlier. Even at this moment, the sharp thorn hairs were aiming at me, but the spear, which I had gradually become familiar with, repelled them all.

And at that moment when the air around me was momentarily empty, I struck the baton at the knife like a man hammering a nail. Cough! The sword went in a little more.

Kyaaaaaah!!!

The monster began to glow with greater intensity.

“Oh, is this okay?”

[I don’t think so.]

* * *

“It’s been a while, that fighter, huh?”

Why is Berserk here?? No really, why are you here???

Deathbringer was mesmerized by the appearance of a person he thought he would never see here. The person’s poor appearance was one of the factors that influenced it.

“Sister…”

But if I had to pick the most surprising thing, wouldn’t it be the words that just flowed from those lips?

He swallowed without realizing it. I don’t think I ever once thought that someone who approached me unexpectedly could be an enemy, but today, that certainty became unclear.

If you approach, you will be cut. A cold feeling began to fill the place where the sweat had cooled.

“Sister… I finally found her…”

Meanwhile, the person who had been walking unsteadily fell down in front of the coffin. The sight of the body buried among the disheveled cloth and flowers is truly heartbreaking.

“I finally found it…”

Berserk’s hand gently touched the bridge of the corpse’s nose. It was a very careful touch, like someone handling a jewel that will break if touched.

“Ah…”

It didn’t stop there. Berserk, leaning against the coffin, lowered his waist and head to make eye contact with the body. It was an act of vain hope, as if the dead would open their eyes at any moment.

Tears leaked from Berserk’s eyes and ran down the dead man’s cheeks.

“That warrior…”

But that desperate reunion did not resonate well with the Deathbringer.

No, it touched me, but it was also very difficult. In any case, what he was carrying now was not something that could be distracted by just one sad feeling.

“Well…”

What kind of person would be as sad as a reunion after a thousand years? Of course, I don’t necessarily feel like I can’t understand because I would be very sad if Emmet was thrown in front of the grave, but…

Deathbringer caught a glimpse of the unclean sword in his hand. If I told you that I had to cut out your spine with this… you would be angry too, right? You’ll never get angry, right?

“I am a fighter.”

But I can’t help but feel angry. This was something that had to be done. For everyone. For the adventurer who even asked him for a favor.

“Sir, warrior!”

“…?”

Deathbringer’s courageous cry finally reached Berserk. Berserk, who had been so preoccupied with her sister’s body that she had not even been aware of his presence, had a moment of surprise in her eyes.

“…Young hunter.”

“…It’s been a while.”

“…okay. A long time.”

However, that surprise was soon erased. A hand full of sadness stroked the corpse’s cheek. Tuk. Her forehead, which was touching the corpse’s forehead, must have been like ice by now.

“Fighter Sari….”

“…But why are you here?”

“…I need to find a piece of the dragon’s heart.”

“….”

“But the piece….”

is in the body’s vertebrae. Deathbringer continued speaking in a dry voice and then widened his pupils. “uh?” The person who had touched the corpse’s forehead had suddenly disappeared.

“Deny it.”

no. She was in front of him.

“Wow!”

“I said something wrong, I said something wrong by mistake.”

The grabbed neck was tightened by a strong grip.

“right now!”

Crazy crazy crazy! The Deathbringer grabbed the wrist that was holding my neck out of fear and an instinctive reflex.

A more effective way would have been to reach out and poke his eyes or rip his nose off, but I couldn’t do that. It was the same thing to take out a dagger hidden in one’s pocket and stab it in the stomach or in the neck.

He couldn’t do that to the person who had once been his comfort, knowingly or unknowingly taking care of him.

“Gagging.”

However, it is also impossible to deny her wish. It was a deception. It’s something he’s good at and has become good at, but it’s a deception he never wants to do to these people.

“Aaaah!!”

In the end, it was Berserk who chose the next action first. Boom! The strong grip threw the Deathbringer’s body backwards, like throwing a small piece of wood.

“That’s my sister. That’s my family!!”

thud!

The young man’s body floated in the air for a few seconds and immediately collided with the dragon’s head. It was smooth without scales or horns, so if it hadn’t lived, it would have had scars all over its body.

“You can never touch it. “I will never let you touch it!!”

But if that bothers you, well. The dull pain was actually bearable.

“Even if it’s you, the young hunter!”

In any case, his pain was nothing compared to the feelings of a person who had to protect his family.

“Did you understand!!”

Deathbringer’s fingers curled.

“…But, Sir.”

There are things in the world that are pointless no matter how much you do them. Even if there were people who did not want to do it themselves and risked their lives to prevent it, there were misfortunes in the world that had to be endured for the sake of the whole.

“If you don’t have that piece…! “Everyone could die!!”

So even though I don’t want to do this, it’s something that has to be done. Deathbringer’s hand held the unclean sword tightly and ran forward.
