Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 70

◈Episode 70 From the beginning (5)

Not only is it not enough to move freely, I have to step on mid-air platforms that try to attack me, and an environment where a monster called a Kraken is waiting in the open sea below.

How spectacular is an air battle in such an environment?

At least I can say this one thing.

I don’t want to do this again.

Kyaaa!!

Did they succeed in sinking two more ships with their persistence? While trying to head to the remaining ship, he was attacked by a harpy and began a high-altitude fall.

In return, he grabbed the harpy’s neck and head, but it was a painful exchange.

The index and middle fingers of the hand holding the head even went into the harpy’s open mouth. Even though I put off asking for saliva, I ended up biting my finger.

“filthy…!”

I don’t want my finger bitten just because my pain level is low.

I strained to open the harpy’s mouth as it tried to bite my finger.

Squeaky!

The force must have been too much, and with a sound of skin popping, a hand wrapped in magic ripped the harpy’s mouth open.

The head, which had been torn off from the upper jaw, was held in my hand for a moment and then flew away by my frightened touch.

But this was not the end of the ordeal that awaited me. They say I tore off the harpy’s head right after falling off the wyvern’s back, but I was still in a state of fall.

I needed a foothold.

Phew!

I quickly pulled out the scimitar and plunged it into the body of the gargoyle flying below.

The landing itself was a failure, so it ended up fluttering in the air, relying on the hilt of the sword embedded in the gargoyle’s body.

A series of situations occurred where the sword, which could not withstand my weight, tried to be pulled out, and the gargoyle lost its balance and tried to fall.

Wow!

But even if the sky falls, there is still a hole to rise up from. Another gargoyle rushed from directly below.

I suddenly moved to it. The guy whose body was pierced by me failed to revive and was thrown into the sea.

Oooooh!

Was he preparing to move to another guy before he lost his balance? The Kraken’s arm rose from just below.

He was scared and swung his sword. His magical power was low thanks to the previous use of it to sink ships and to strengthen his body, but there was nothing he could do about it.

HP, which had already been reduced by more than 2/3 when converted to magical power, was further reduced. I’m crying. Blood took over my throat.

Sigh!

There was still utility in sacrificing HP. The slippery leg was cut off very smoothly, revealing a white cross section.

At the same time, the gargoyle I was holding quickly ran away from the severed leg. The demons caught in the Kraken’s other tentacles justified its escape.

thud!

“Why is that monster attacking the ship! “This is different from words!”

“It’s clear that damn monster is not something we can control in detail—!”

“It’s an intruder!”

“There is an intruder on the ship!”

So somehow we reached the next ship. On the deck I looked down, there was a strange person.

It is neither a sailor’s outfit nor an adventurer’s outfit. This is the group we encountered on the two ships we sunk earlier.

“You guys do something!”

“This is probably what you guys specialize in!”

“We can’t handle enough just controlling that monster…!”

Where on earth do devil contracts come from like this? I went down and thought about that part.

And when my feet lightly touched the main deck, the scimitar moved quietly. The silver-white trail soon turned red and knocked off one of the guy’s heads.

“It’s an intruder!”

“Kill!”

“die!”

“Eat this!”

The pirates rushed towards me.

“We need to throw that damn thing into the sea right now!”

It would be easy to crush it with magical power, but now is the time to save it. This is because there is a limit to converting vitality, and if you use it against them, you may end up lacking it when hunting the Kraken. The amount of recovery tends to be depleted during aerial combat.

So, I dealt with them using only my survival instinct.

The scimitar flew like a beam of light and cut down the body of the one who attacked first. Sigh! When the empty right hand appears to grab another enemy’s neck, the body is swung with only pure strength without magical power enhancement.

Of course, it was heavy, so I couldn’t throw it away as I wanted. I didn’t even want that in the first place.

However, if he fell as if thrown and blocked the path of other enemies, that was enough.

My turned ankle and twisted back turned my vision back. Then, as the scimitar quickly cuts through the air, the sound of the blade clanking rings out later.

“This monster…!”

By successfully repelling, the enemy’s upper body was opened defenselessly. With a single wrist snap, my sword rushed forward with the tip pointing straight ahead.

The slashes of other enemies pierce the space vacated by me running out.

Phew!

bang!

Unable to pierce the enemy’s heart, it drove the enemy to the mast like a wild boar. The sword that escaped from the body of the pirate that hit the mast split the surrounding area again.

Suddenly!

One of the enemies, unable to keep up with my movements, lowered its head and my right hand grabbed another sword hanging from its waist.

It is a straight sword, but its length is a bit short. It’s not bad.

Chaeng. The sword, which had succeeded in parrying the attack struck at the waist at the same time as it was drawn, spun rapidly in the wrist.

The hilt of the sword, which is turned halfway and held in reverse, immediately pierces the nape of the neck of the enemy attacking from behind on the right.

“Ugh!”

“A monster has arrived!”

“It’s late…”

By then, the sea tyrant had arrived near the ship. The rising tentacles created a situation similar to before.

The railings were broken, the mast was bent, and in any case, it looked like it was on the verge of sinking.

My life is legendary as I have seen this four times, including this time, and will have to watch it one more time.

“Now that it’s like this, you’re the only one…!”

But wasn’t a legend already a legend from the moment he was locked into the game?

I had a late awakening. Phew! It was the next moment that the sword that left my fingertips – my right hand – pierced between the eyes of one of the demon contractees.

I couldn’t stand to see him forgetting orders while lost in useless thoughts.

bang!

The boat began to shake as if it was about to be eaten by a giant octopus. One side of the ship is occupied by a kraken and looks as if it is being eaten away.

So should I just run away now? Or, just to be sure, should we leave when the ship is in a state of no recovery?

I dodged the tentacles, carefully measuring the angle of escape. Of course, it was not a movement aimed solely at evasion.

Anyway, when the kraken attacked the ship, the pirates gave up on targeting me, but the devil contractors were staring at me as if they wanted to attack me.

“Why magic…”

I’m grateful that there’s something wrong with me and I can’t recite the spell properly, but does that mean I can just ignore it and move on? Even if we escape, dealing with those must take priority. I tried to ignore it earlier and almost ended up bleeding because of the demons they had summoned, so there is no need to say how important it is.

puck!

“Gagging!”

As the distance was long, I kicked something on the deck. The thing that flew hit the devil contractor exactly in the face.

During my elementary and middle school years, I found it rewarding to play soccer every break. Even though you weren’t allowed to hit people’s heads back then.

“You bastard!”

He then grabbed the harpoon of a pirate running from the side with his hand.

puck. When the raised knee hit the pirate’s solar plexus, the pirate’s tongue stuck out. The fact that the hand holding the harpoon has lost strength is a bonus.

Swish.

I pushed him away and held the harpoon that I had taken away. visor! I didn’t forget to block the sword that came from one side. That’s it. The power struggle continued for a moment.

Phew!

Does it look like I’m holding a harpoon?

I pierced the enemy’s body with a harpoon and then pulled it back out. And when the obstacle disappeared, the harpoon was thrown.

The two demon contractors who had not been dealt with yet were pierced by harpoons and died. There are five remaining devil contractors.

“…!”

At that time, a tentacle came quickly and grabbed my arm. It was so thin and secret that I didn’t notice it.

The octopus’ suction cups were drawn onto the gauntlet and tightened the arm.

Suddenly!

Still, it’s a shame that the hand that wasn’t holding the sword was caught.

I cut it down with my curved sword and quickly walked away.

Kung kung kung. Lately, huge tentacles came crashing down on my seat. The deck wasn’t pierced, broken, or in chaos.

“My stomach is turning over!”

Even beyond the ship’s tilt, the incline began to approach 90 degrees. It looked like the kraken occupying the side of the ship was trying to overturn the dining table.

This is the time to really escape. He’s a devil contractor and all, so he really needs to run away.

My legs stepped on the only surviving mast and ran.

As the ship tilts, the gently sloping mast appears to be the only escape route. At least that was the case for now.

“…!”

The speed at which the boat turns over is faster than expected. By the time you reach the end of the mast, you will be heading straight to the sea.

“I heard the sea dragon was better…!”

As soon as I realized that fact, I changed my pace. Then he jumped big and grabbed the railing of the ship.

Now that the ship has turned more than 90 degrees, the act of holding on to the railing and climbing onto the side of the ship is rather like standing up straight.

The Kraken’s body was clearly visible, clinging to the hull.

“It’s not that octopus.”

There is still no place to escape to the sky. Also, behind is the sea, and in front is only a Kraken sticking its body out of the water.

Troublesome enemies like devil contractors and pirates have fallen into the Sin Sea, and flying demons are only circling a few tens of meters in the air.

“My work partner is a mukbang video.”

Then I guess I should catch the Kraken. There is only one enemy ship left.

“There’s also a method for preparing octopus…!”

I quickly stepped on the outside paving and ran. The kraken’s arm with suction cups was aiming at me, but it wasn’t difficult to run while avoiding it.

Mulkyung. The kraken’s skin was as soft as an inflatable playground and had a somewhat pleasantly bad feel.

“If you stab me between the eyes, I’ll faint!!”

However, when you face GAME OVER, you somehow gain the strength to move forward.

I stepped on the head of a kraken that somehow got out of the water. It was the next moment that I found the part between the eyes that in humans would be called the forehead.

Phew!

My body briefly rose in the air and plunged the two-hender’s long blade into the kraken’s forehead.

The black energy that was rotating in a spiral penetrated into the kraken’s flesh as if it would pierce it. My body was also there.

The Kraken’s body suddenly shook and its tentacles moved wildly.

with a splash!

The blow was clearly effective as the Kraken’s body, which was out of the water, began to sink downward in an instant.

At the same time, I also dived into the sea.

The liquid on the seawater kraken’s mucous membrane, the salty water that came out when the skin was torn, kept coming into my nose and mouth.

I can’t imagine what it would have been like if it hadn’t been like this, even though it had penetrated the Kraken’s outer membrane and penetrated its insides.

Purr

Anyway, thanks to the sea water coming in through the gap I tore, I was suddenly completely submerged in the water.

It seemed like he might be a little short of breath, but it was already in good condition.

I stirred the cold, squishy flesh around me and began to slice through the insides with the blade. Of course, I had no intention of finding three hearts and bursting them.

Purruk.

What’s the point of using the magic power you’ve saved for times like this if you don’t use it now?

A pitch-black energy began to slice through the pale flesh. In the process, a dark blue light passed through my vision, and I think the Kraken’s heart exploded or something.

Anyway, the more I swung the sword, the more the inside of the Kraken shook, and by the time I was finally out of breath, the vibrations stopped.

Porrrrr!

My body escaped the torn skin. I saw a monster sinking with its torso mangled and the water’s surface rippling with the sunlight shattered.

After that, well. Of course, I struggled to go up. My breathing became short and my vision darkened, but I somehow managed to move my limbs, feeling that it would be unfair to die here.

“Puh-ha!”

The moment I wondered if this was the end, my breath rushed into my lungs.

“Heook, puff, puff, gasp.”

I gasped, spitting out a lot of seawater that had come into my mouth and nose due to the waves.

The moment my blurry vision slowly returned and the feeling of ‘I survived’ settled in my brain, relief throbbed in my heart.

The Kraken is dead, right? Dead? I kept thinking that even though I knew it was a cliché.

Out of anxiety, I even dipped my head into the water to see if the Kraken was approaching. The giant octopus vaguely visible beneath the dark sea is only waving its legs.

It didn’t look like it was trying to come up, which was enough to scare me if it was still alive.

Even if I couldn’t do it, I lived for now.

“See if I come back to the sea.”

Seasickness, aerial combat, and the sea are the problem. As soon as this is over, I won’t even go to the sea.

With that promise, I put my head above the water again. What should I do now? Immediately after that thought, something catches my eye.

“…run away.”

It was still nice to get a team kill using the Kraken, though. The last enemy ship that could not be sunk was seen moving away.

It looks like they gave up on the attack. Demons such as Gargoyle, Wyvern and Harpy followed the ship and stopped attacking the port and turned around.

“Tsk.”

If he had run away to the harbor where I was, I would have gotten on board or dealt with it somehow.

Even if I run away, I find it a bit ironic that I end up stabbing into the empty space between me and the port. Well, since me and the Kraken fought to the death near here, it wouldn’t be strange for us to run away in a different direction.

Above all, my immediate survival is more important than the regret of not being able to deal with the enemy.

I struggled to avoid sinking and looked for a way to get to the port. Even if I couldn’t swim, I had to at least be able to hold out until a rescue team arrived from the port.

“…!”

Fortunately, traces of an overturned boat were visible nearby.

“Kill that bastard before he gets there!”

Of course, there were passengers. These were pirates who fell in before me or succeeded in settling down while I was struggling in the water.

But do they have bows or other means of long-distance attack?

The people with the harpoon tried to throw it, but due to the waves, the hit rate was poor, and I was able to hit the one that somehow got to me.

“You monster…”

“What does it mean to be a human who joins hands with the devil?”

Finally, my legs stepped on the remains of the overturned ship.

It was the end of the surprise optional quest.
