Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 433

Episode 433 Declare Now (6)

[Is it resolved now?]

Lilith wiped away the holy water flowing down her cheek with a vaguely unpleasant tone. Although it was holy water with the highest quality of magic, there was no problem.

The temporary body he was able to create through the sacrifice of his lover, Yeol, was as functional as his dedication. Even if you come in contact with holy water, you will be able to behave like a normal human being, rather than reacting in rejection.

Aside from the fact that it broke within a month and that only he could use it, it was an excellent performance.

“…Iknow, right.”

However, even that good temporary body could not eliminate the disgusting, dirty, and terrible feelings toward Seongsu.

Lilith’s expression tried to feign calm as she quickly wiped away the moisture. His reluctance may be seen as a desperation in the eyes of others, such as the humiliation of being misunderstood as a devil or the desperation of not wanting to catch a cold.

“You were a normal person!”

[of course. So, I hope you can put aside any further doubts.] More than

that, how long do I have to undergo this damn holy water baptism?

This is something that usually happens to people who tempt people, but no matter how many times you go through it, you never get used to it. It all happened because he couldn’t love this world yet.

[I understand because it’s a common occurrence, but… you know, right? Even if you understand, it doesn’t make you feel very good.]

Oh, when will he be able to love this world again? Even though his memories of being human have already been scattered and broken, why can’t he open his heart?

Do the scars engraved beyond the soul not disappear even if the name and form change?

“…that’s right. I can’t get used to this. I don’t feel good either. sorry.”

[If you know, that’s enough.]

Still… even if this world is still a mess. It is not a waste of effort to recruit someone who seems to be entangled with the hero. This suffering will bring about the corruption of this world, and the fallen world will at least be something worth loving.

Lilith gathered her thoughts like that and put on a calm expression. The purple eyes staring at him were silent and without light.

“But it’s really strange.”

[What?]

“I really thought you were the devil.”

[Why did you think that?]

“You look so similar to my old friend. “It makes me wonder if the body was taken out.”

[…okay. I hope your friend finds rest.]

I know what kind of emotion those eyes convey, making me feel numb. Anyway, contrary to what is known to the public, that person is not starving for affection. If you knew him, how could you not interpret those eyes?

How could he not notice the look in the eyes of a madman who is convinced that you are the devil and therefore wants to tear you to death at any moment?

“Isn’t it amazing? “There are coincidences like this in this world.”

[To be honest, yes. It’s amazing. I’ve only ever seen people with similar hair color like mine in my family.]

But even those people are confident that he can charm them. Okay, so he stood here.

[Even his face resembles mine… Maybe we have the same ancestors.]

The other person will eventually fall in love with him.

“Look at that! “It’s Suzaku!”

“Are you going to another city…?”

“Ah, I wish you would protect this city a little more…”

As if he had already decided to give his heart to the other person.

* * *

“I guess you’re awake.”

“huh?”

“Is it Suzaku?”

Crusher turned his head to my words and Berserk responded. She also seemed to see red coloring one side of the blue sky.

“Oh, it’s Sookjak.”

“I heard there was a lot of damage to other cities, so are you planning to visit him?”

“Maybe so. “He seemed quite affectionate toward humans.”

Suzaku’s recovery is taking longer than expected. Needless to say, the damage has increased due to his absence.

Of course, it would be wrong to criticize him for his fault… but it would also be difficult for someone who loves humans not to care.

“I can’t see the devil at all.”

I reminded myself of that and pulled the sword out of its scabbard. The blade, which rotates freely with the snap of the wrist, shows off its sharpness as it cuts through the cold air.

“I know. “I usually see one or two around here.”

“Maybe you’re avoiding it. “Even devils don’t have instincts.”

“escape? The devil? That can’t be possible. “Unless a higher-ranking devil appears to scare them or give them orders, they will attack you even if you die.”

No, Berserk is right. According to the information relayed by Gye-myeong, all the demons inside the Demon Station follow Oman’s orders.

“…Where do you think the line is?”

“…?”

Let’s just say we’re giving up distance for one more counterattack. So what is the maximum limit he sets? Where on earth should we draw the battle line to get the maximum benefit?

“How far did you say the second expansion would go?”

“Up to a distance where you can observe the Demon King with the naked eye.”

“Then can I go there?”

“…Isn’t that supposed to be outside the patrol range today?”

“If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”

“If you say anything, it will be your fault.”

“as you please.”

Crusher shook his head as if he was tired of my opinion. However, if you look closely at her words themselves, they are not denial or criticism.

She was hesitant because it was against the instructions from her superiors, but I think she was also afraid of moving forward. He truly seemed like the kind of person who would join us on our final journey.

“Sounds fun. I’m going.”

In addition, Berserk did not show any opposition from the beginning. In the end, three adults who were not worthy of their age simply gave the patrol leader a forward hand signal and ran off on their own.

“This fucking dirty land is all shit, but this damn demon energy is especially shitty.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t say that to you.”

Crusher, who joined the group and heard the details about me—the words were detailed but not detailed—immediately corrected his statement. Instead, her feet tapped the icy floor.

“The venom creeping up from the ground is fucking disgusting.”

“hmm.”

Even if it’s a miasma, I’m completely immune to this… I’m not sure what it feels like. Is this similar to the divine power falling to the ground and slowly rising up?

“I think I can help you with this part.”

The comment written by the commandment said that you should use the magic after entering the castle to save magic power, but right now, I don’t want to go to the castle or run a specific raid. Even if you use it now, there will be no problem.

“What are you trying to do?”

“practice.”

I chose one of the magic circles floating around my head and lit it in my hand. Starting from the center, moving outward… and then inward… Is this the right order?

There was a brief memory issue in the middle, but the result was correct. The magic circle engraved in the air melted into Crusher first.

“Oh what. “It’s easier to breathe.”

“I guess you were right.”

“What did you do?”

“It is a magic that filters out toxins and helps breathing. “They are going to make a separate gas mask, but they told me to memorize it just in case.”

Of course, just because it has this function does not mean it is a magic meant to be used at the entrance to the Demonic Station. Since its original purpose is to destroy the poisonous gas trap installed in the Demon King’s Castle, its magical power consumption and output are very high.

In other words, it is a huge waste to use this magic at the beginning of the demon area, which can be solved with medicine. It’s not just a huge waste, it’s a huge waste on the level of even half a century.

“I was stuck in a corner of my room, but now I guess I can do things like this.”

“It’s the reward for hard work.”

However, since the magic circle itself is not a consumable material and magic power is not important, it will be okay to clean it up today.

I rationalized that and cast a spell on Berserk as well. There was some confusion this time, but there was no failure.

“Didn’t you say you were a prosecutor last time?”

“I’m a prosecutor. “It’s just that… it has a bit more magic power.”

Ah, the unfortunate thing is that I have so much magical power that I end up doing things that a wizard should have done originally. It’s really sad. It’s even more unfortunate that you can’t do anything roughly because your life is at stake.

Crusher was silent for a moment at my dark remark. Then he raised his fist for a moment. I placed my fist next to the bean.

“cheer up.”

“I will do my best.”

I don’t know if it will work, but it’s something I need to work on even if I don’t have the strength.

“Let’s just go there.”

I moved forward, crunching the thin ice on the ground. The overall flat terrain has a slight slope, so the altitude is gradually increasing without you knowing it.

“ha.”

And when we got to the end of that altitude we could see a puff of terrain and something in the center of it.

“That’s… the Demon King’s Castle.”

“Does it look fucking bad?”

“It’s black.”

If you make a crater shallow and wide… with a radius of several hundred kilometers, what kind of terrain would you get? If what was stuck in the center of the crater was not a meteorite but a castle, would it be possible to see such a landscape?

I looked at the castle more closely with the binoculars I brought with me.

Although it uses heterogeneous architectural techniques, the building is recognizable as a castle. Hanging over it were human bones that were hundreds of meters tall. The heart and other organs embedded in the building but connected to the bones by threads… the children of the devil are born from those organs.

I lowered the telescope at a sight that seemed like it needed to be checked just by looking at it. There was still time left until the raid, but I felt like I was already bored.

“It lives up to its name, Devil Castle.”

“yes.”

It would have been nice if it broke the cliche and showed an ordinary Demon King Castle. No, actually, I was hoping for something like that. Here, if you want a twist, you’re like, ‘I’ll give you something even weirder!’

“There are a few demons I can see… but if we try to catch them, we’ll get eaten, right?”

“…The advance stops here. Do you know where the second expansion area is?”

“Should we build this terrain as a boundary?”

“Right.”

I picked a rock nearby and grabbed it, being careful not to fall down. A rock that fits tightly in my hand has a blunt protruding bottom, making it suitable for use as a scraper for something.

“What are you doing?”

“Now that we’ve come this far, wouldn’t it be okay to leave a trace showing how we came and went?”

I glanced at the patrollers, who I could only see as dots with my eyesight, then knelt a little away and placed my hands on the floor. Grumble, murmur. The stone, strengthened by magic, left continuous scars on the frozen floor.

“What is this?”

“Booby trap… So, it’s a magic circle that creates a trap effect.”

“oh.”

“Is it possible to achieve good results by doing this roughly?”

“No way.”

If an improvised magic circle performs well, isn’t that a problem?

I opened the booklet, checked the shape of the magic circle and the location of the catalyst, and followed it exactly. In the case of booby traps, I had no choice but to postpone the turn of judgment and memorization because there was enough time to install them.

“I just think it might be better than not doing it at all.”

“Well, there’s no harm in doing anything.”

Lastly… I rummaged through my inventory and took out a reagent bottle.

“What is that?”

“This is a hastily made bait in response to last night’s commandments.”

“bait?”

“You could think of it as a kind of… seduction scent. “It only targets demons.”

Since it was a hastily produced product, he said he was not sure how effective it would be. He even raised the possibility that it might not have any effect at all.

“If it’s just the three of us, it won’t be a nuisance if we use it however we want.”

Anyway, wouldn’t it be a good idea to write it down now that we’ve come this far? It seemed like an item that could be used in the castle, so I told him to try it out if I had the chance and let him know the results and he would try to improve it.

“Do you have any thoughts?”

“If there was something good like that, I should have used it right away.”

“Can I just spray it?”

“okay.”

Everyone is a fighting fanatic, so it’s great that they never say no. I thought so and sprinkled the reagent around.

Soon the ground began to shake.
