Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 76
◈Episode 76 Don’t do this (1)
Luk Quan ran away with all his might. There were people who tried to stop her, but thanks to those who urgently came out to report the situation and shouted at them not to catch her, she was not caught.
So I went down one, two, three floors and found an empty room. On closer examination, there would be many better hiding places than this, but a mind exposed to blatant malice could not afford it.
She was stuck in a closet she had never considered a hiding place, gasping for breath. I was afraid. I was so scared that I felt like I was going crazy.
I am more afraid of this moment than any other crisis I have faced so far…
“Hide tight, my hair will show.”
It seems that the person who started moving when she went down the floor, caught up to that floor, and finally entered the same hallway.
“Even if a rat bites me… Even if an ant bites me…”
A slow song began to sound from afar. Luk-Quan’s hand covered her mouth.
“Don’t move, don’t move…”
The slow melody slowly approached the room she was in, along with the sound of the door squeaking open.
There were several overlapping footsteps, but there was only one that stood alone.
“If you see hair, you catch it.”
And finally, the last piece stopped in front of the room where she was hiding. Squeak. The sound of the room opening was particularly clear.
Again, again, again, again.
There was only one sound of footsteps entering the room.
Luk-Quan took a deep breath while cowering in the closet. The body of a skilled thief does not allow even the slightest vibration, giving hope that if done well, this crisis can be overcome.
widely.
But it seemed like the world was not on her side. The footsteps stopped exactly in front of the closet.
Sigh.
Suddenly, the closet door opened and a thin beam of light fell into the space where she was hiding. Naturally, the one standing there, blocking out some of the light shining through the gap, is the master of fear who has taken control of her.
“….”
Gray eyes looked down at her.
“…hide.”
And with a ‘dakkak’ sound.
The door was closed.
“Hair boila.”
The devil is probably the devil.
Gradually it went away.
* * *
Write. I’m surprised.
Maybe it’s because they’re half-human and half-animal, but their eyes glow brightly in the dark… If I hadn’t prepared myself to open them, I would have screamed as soon as I made eye contact.
My heart is still pounding.
Ha, but the kids in the hallway won’t know that I opened the closet, right? I tried my best not to make any noise when opening or closing the closet.
Please tell me you didn’t catch me. This means that I am checking each room with the sole belief that they will not search the places I have searched.
“Hmm. “There isn’t one.”
I desperately played out my new concept as I went out into the hallway.
His typical act was to hang his head to the side as if he was disappointed.
My cheeks felt a little hot when I was over 30 and was acting cute with little kids, but I managed to hold back. I’m not the only one who will be blown away if I reveal this.
“Would you like me to release the person?”
“Did you just ask me a question?”
And hmm. Actually, it’s not that it’s embarrassing to show cuteness, but rather it’s embarrassing to show a raw concept that you’re not prepared for.
A true concept lover must be able to handle even sudden changes in concept. Of course, the moment you say, ‘All of this was real,’ you will sink in shame.
Wow. Universe, help me! Save my face…!
“It’s not like that—.”
Sigh!
I didn’t listen to the answer until the end and plunged my sword into his neck.
While I was concentrating on the game of tag, the air that had become slightly loose became tense again.
“Who wants another question?”
Ask a question, ask a question. He’s the one who will kill all the people waiting in the hallway. They are the ones who made me play double role.
I will not forgive you guys who forced me to act like the archvillain.
“doesn’t exist?”
But contrary to my wishes, no one came forward.
I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes. At the same time, I desperately looked at the status window to match the timing.
There was no need to know the status that automatically increased when you leveled up, and the sentence added at the bottom quickly flew to my solar plexus and stuck in my head.
「※ You are suffering from a special condition (magic runaway). You can’t use skills until you recover.”
It goes without saying, but that’s why I didn’t kill Vipurit and made him play a double role.
I can’t use skills.
“Unfortunately…”
No, is it just skill? All tricks that used magic were banned. I can be sure because I tried it earlier and experienced that only blood came out.
In other words, from now on, I have to honestly survive in the middle of enemy territory with only my physical abilities.
And in my view, the possibility of success is very low…
It is inevitable that I will catch the enemy’s misunderstanding.
Judging from what I overheard by pretending not to wake up to understand the situation, I also calculated that if I took advantage of the misunderstanding, things would turn out to be fun.
Cancer, they had a ritual to awaken the devil within me, and if they completely believe that the one who has awakened is the great devil, wouldn’t it be best to take advantage of it?
Of course, I won’t deny that after completing all the calculations and waking up and seeing the exact ‘horse power runaway’ notification, things got a little messy.
I only thought about gathering all the main characters and wiping them out right away through acting, but I never thought I would end up doing a show like this…
Well, since you can’t turn off the player’s consciousness in other games, I think they just gave it a penalty in the form of ‘magic runaway’.
“It’s not in this room either.”
I smiled brightly and came out of the last room. I hadn’t smiled for a while because of the devil knight concept, but when I suddenly tried to smile, I felt like my eyes and mouth were twitching.
it’s tough.
“I’m sick of it, I’m going to stop.”
“We… will catch the cat.”
“Nope.”
I looked straight at this person who seemed to have slowly learned my (concept’s) pattern. It is a bonus that the smile is replaced by sharp irritation and shallow anger, like a child who is about to have his toy taken away.
“You don’t know how to play.”
However, this expression should not last too long.
I smiled again, put my arm around the speaker’s shoulder, and whispered as softly as I could in his ear.
“There is nothing more fun than catching a prey that is relieved that it will survive.”
“Is that so?”
“then.”
Hmm, even to me, he seems like a villain with no morals. good.
But it would be a shame if it ended here.
“Look at it like this….”
“Yes?”
Suddenly!
“There is nothing more beautiful than the expression reflected on the blade that comes in at the moment of relief.”
It’s fortunate that it has the power to cut off a person’s neck even if it doesn’t contain magical power.
I stared coldly at the person whose vocal cords were cut at once and who could not even make a sound. A little cruel?
‘Yes, they are enemies.’
I wiped the blood from my cheek as I retrieved the arm I had wrapped around the other person and the dagger in his hand. Another piece of meat was added to the castle.
“Is Portugal still there?”
“…You went to the ceremony site.”
“okay?”
Po po… write. I didn’t mean to make fun of you, but all I can think of is Portugal.
Anyway, I recalled the man who introduced himself as Ponegeulja.
If my memory is not wrong, that person’s face was the same as the face that Lord Zakrathi had begged to kill.
However, the reason why he referred to himself as Ponegeulja instead of Vipurit is… um. Is this perhaps a new nickname or name among demon followers?
There was an additional explanation as to why it was the 72nd article. I’m not sure because there was nothing like this in the original, but it seems like the 72 knights were taken from Solomon’s 72 devils. Wouldn’t it be roughly the same thing with demons in common?
“Please guide me.”
“…It is an honour.”
“Are there no more 72 knights?”
Well, I’ve been making hypotheses here and there for fantasy jjambap, but there’s nothing better than hearing the real thing with my ears.
I secretly looked for information.
Even if I didn’t wonder why it was called the 72nd Knight, it was an important question whether there were more enemies in the city like the 72nd Knight. Even if you have to retry, if you die knowing something, the next attempt will be easier.
“Bifrons and Naberius are present.”
As expected, there is more. They must be trying too hard….
“Originally, Gamigin and Morax were planning to join us….”
“But?”
“…The two of you died while leading the destruction of the city of Tatara.”
But what now?
“He died while destroying the city?”
Did I… kill Named without my knowledge? Of course, given the scale of what happened there, it deserves a name or two.
I was as dumbfounded as someone who heard that crab meat, which I had previously forgotten was delicious but was actually made from king crab.
It’s good, it’s good, but there’s something strange about it. There was a name, but it’s not like it’s gone.
“Hmm, okay… it can’t be helped that he’s already dead.”
“I’m sorry.”
“huh? Are you the ones who died there? “Why are you apologizing?”
Still, it’s not a loss for me.
I flicked the dagger between my fingers. Unlike my smiling face, my mind is racing with complicated thoughts.
“Or do you want to die?”
“Oh no!”
I made a decision by giving additional scares to those who were scared.
First of all, Knight 72 is clearly an executive level member of the devil worshipers. If you look at the fact that even those guys treat me as their superior and work directly under Satan and all that, the Great Devil is the highest ranking person.
“It has also arrived.”
The problem arises at a different point.
Considering that Ponegeulja told me that he knows ‘wrath’ and that the Archmage used to be the Seven Great Devils and all, the motif of the Great Devils is probably the Seven Deadly Sins.
But from what I remember, the one responsible for anger among the seven deadly sins is none other than Satan. Coincidentally, the final boss we are aiming for is also named Satan.
…Surely this isn’t a light novel development that says ‘I was possessed by a body with a devil in my right arm, but it seems the devil on my right arm was actually the final boss’?
“open it.”
The door opened with just one word from me. According to the castle map I received, there was a door leading to the central garden.
However, as a result of the occupation and alteration by devil worshipers, the central garden was no longer a central garden.
“Are you here?”
That place had already become a slaughterhouse for a long time.
If I hadn’t bought into the concept, I might have wanted to vomit a little.
“Naberius, the 24th knight, meets the Great One.”
“‘Wrath’, this is Bifrons.”
I barely took my eyes off the scene of the massacre and glanced at the people who approached me at the same time.
Naberius was a very cute-looking young man with fair skin, and Bifrons was a woman with freckled skin.
At least, it is a billion light years away from the impression I got from the wanted letter. These two are not Vipurit.
Then, I guess the Pone character is Bipurit. Surely there can’t be two people in the world with characteristics like that?
“Uh huh.”
Separately, when Naberius naturally bowed, Bifrons, who had been bowing crookedly, began to notice me very much.
…Did it look like you were going to kill me if I didn’t bow down to you? If you ask a question, he’ll kill you, but he won’t argue with your attitude.
“You seem to be satisfied with your hunting.”
Meanwhile, after seeing the blood on my cheek, the Pone letter guessed something. I think they misunderstood it again because it was the blood that splattered after killing Luk Quan.
Yes, it would be nice for me!
“The cat is good at hiding, so it’s quite worth it.”
How great it would be if the magical power runaway were resolved here. My lips trembled as I watched a person’s neck being cut in real time and blood flowing into the dug hole.
If they are released now, they will be able to take down the most dangerous people in this region. I’m a little anxious because they just say ‘I can’t use my skills’ without specifying a deadline for when it will be released.
“…But what are these?”
I suppressed those feelings and looked around the place filled with the scent of blood. On the other side of the corpse garden, there were the living who had their throats cut and were destined to bleed.
And what particularly catches my attention are those wearing prison guards’ uniforms.
The worry that my children had been taken away disappeared after checking their faces. I don’t know who it is, but first of all, there are no members of our party.
That one fact comforted me in a small way.
“You have the same clothes as the kids in the hallway.”
I asked, stepping on the back of the person in prison uniform who was kneeling with his hands tied with rope. The answer came back from Biffrons.
“Even though I told them to strengthen their guard because a warrior would invade, they did not dare to obey.”
Can I interpret that to mean that our children have not been caught yet? I hope so.
“Warrior?”
“Fools only exaggerate and show off, but Almeong is a worthless brat.”
…It’s true that our kimchi dumplings are fluffy and fluffy, but the kernels are strong and strong?! You call it a hostile camp. Just wait and see. The first thing I do is cut my throat.
“okay?”
I kicked the tooth I was stepping on and turned around.
“I’m kind of interested in that.”
I was so used to saying things I didn’t even mean to say that I didn’t have to worry much about it.
“Then there’s a hero here…”
And then for a moment. My eyes landed right behind the guard (what was).
Fuck. It was small so I only saw it now and there were kids here. They are not in their mid to late teens, but at most they are five or six years old.
Even toddlers.
“…Is it there?”
Did my eyes blink for a moment? Or did it turn red? For the first time in a long time, I felt anger reaching to the top of my head and pulling at the back of my neck.
It was a miracle that he continued speaking to the end. My neck felt stiff and my eyes became hot. It was the heat of anger.
No, it was really a firework.
“Woah, if you want, I’ll get it right away.”
I focused my gaze as best as I could on the black energy bursting from my right arm. I didn’t even pay attention to the clear sound of explosions coming from afar.
“no.”
Let’s be patient. Let’s be patient. If it explodes now, what happens to what I did earlier? It’s not like I’ve tried the concept once or twice.
Above all, it’s not like we can save all of those kids by stabbing them here. Right now, I don’t have the strength to avoid or protect myself and defeat all my enemies.
“There’s no need for that.”
So let’s be patient. It’s clear that even if you fight, you’ll only cause harm to the kids, so be patient.
Hold on.
“But there are a lot of kids?”
Hold on…
“Those are sacrifices to the dragon. As you know, the mighty beast is not satisfied with ordinary blood.”
‘Hold on?’
「※ A special status ailment (rage) is created.」
「Rage│All status ailments except for rage are nullified and additional status ailments are ignored.
The more you perform certain actions,
the more the madness gauge fills.” The black energy grew stronger.
‘I can do anything now.’
It’s so flashy that you even think about it.
