Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 78
◈Episode 78 Don’t do this (3)
「Insanity Gauge 1%」
「❖ Fang aimed at Jakrati
∎ Liberating Ayu Hin
∎ Bonus: Killing Vipurit」
Three members of the 72 Knights, the commander immediately below them, and dozens of soldiers below them. I cut it with a single knife and it was 1%.
It may be that the rise is slow because it is just the beginning, but even considering that, I think it is quite worth doing. The amount of gauge fill is less than expected.
“Huh…”
I wonder if I can stop acting now. For now, I think it’s safe to say that the Great Devil has gone home.
I checked the gaze of the sentries standing on the castle wall and the guards standing behind. I also have to worry about Luk’Quan, who might still be alive there…
Damn, I need to show the scene of him going to the Great Devil’s house so I won’t have to say anything later. I have to take into account the possibility that this matter will be passed on to the devil’s followers – I may have to brag about it again in the form of the Great Devil – so I have to do it.
“Ugh.”
As soon as the calculation was done, my hand pressed down on the eye on the side with the blindfold on and I bent down. If we were to give this act a rough name, it could be said to be ‘the devil knight and the devil are fighting for dominance.’
Of course, the embarrassment that came upon me for no reason was entirely mine.
Just playing the crazy guy was okay, but the transition scenes were a bit difficult to endure. If you want to live, you have to overcome this too.
“after.”
Still, I’m a professional concepter! I somehow held on.
The center of my body, which had been staggering, straightened up and my back straightened. When I was acting as the Great Devil, I deliberately didn’t straighten my back properly and stood crooked, so anyone who pays a little attention will definitely feel the difference.
Quaaaang!
Meanwhile, another explosion was heard in the distance. Wow. The dragon’s howl was a bonus. It seems like the kids are doing well because the sadness was greater than the crying earlier.
If I do this, I guess I should clean up the castle and go.
As you can hear, the Inquisitor’s job is specialized in fighting while holding on, so it would be okay if joining was a bit delayed.
On the other hand, the enemies that will remain in the castle are different. There are not only pirates in the castle, but also demonic contractors who can commit curses and other acts through human sacrifice.
Also, civilians they can use as sacrifices.
If you leave it unattended, it may come back as a lump of regret. Removing it now will be more convenient later.
So I took a slight step back. Even after spitting out the slash, the scimitar, still surrounded by magic, screeched.
“Well…”
Huh? What, is there anyone who isn’t dead yet? It sounds too close to be the sound of those on the castle wall.
I stopped walking and looked back in the direction I was turning my back to. If you do this, you can see that the person whose upper and lower body has been split in two is scratching the dirt floor and feeling angry.
Focalor. Or it was Vipurit.
“You did a good job.”
No, the quest was just updated. Why are you alive?
“No such thing as a human…!”
I swallowed the absurdity in my throat. At the same time, the feeling that creeps in is a bit of pity.
He must have been the final boss in his own right… I may have surprised him, but it feels really strange to be hit by such a blow.
It feels a bit empty because the boss battle was skipped, which is nice, but is this really the end? I wonder if it makes me wonder.
But then what else? If it were a normal game, I would shout shit, but for me now, it’s actually better.
I have to move while taking the madness gauge into consideration, and time is running out, so I have to move urgently.
“The devil was still breathing.”
Therefore, I picked up the knife without any regrets.
Suddenly!
It was the moment when the slayer of the Yabad region and a traitor to humanity died after being cut off. It was a very insignificant end compared to what she had done and done.
But I don’t want to pity it. It’s a game, so the end of the slayer doesn’t have to be so tragic.
I grabbed the severed head and tried to stuff it into my inventory.
Since the client requested evidence, the plan was to give the entire head to make it easier to verify.
Sigh!
That would have been the case even if Focalor’s decapitated body hadn’t stretched out its arms and grabbed me.
“Hehehehe!”
No, rather, the problem seemed to be that the severed head was smiling, or that tentacles or something like that were extending from the cut cross section.
An octopus with a human face was born.
“…!”
Wow it’s so horrible!
I kicked away the hand that was holding my foot and threw it before the tentacle wrapped around my arm.
Geek!
That’s not all. I swung my sword quickly enough to be reflexive.
A barrage of slashes tore off the head floating in the air. It was torn apart, but thin tentacles came out from the cross section and held on to each other and reattached.
It was a shame because I was squeamish, but it was really disgusting.
“It’s so ugly.”
What on earth have you done to your body, human? What did I do to make the head stick together even after it was cut vertically, and then merge back into the separated body?
“Hahaha!!”
It’s even scarier because he’s raving like a crazy person.
I delivered a series of slashes with the sole intention of killing him before the fusion ended.
“no use. “The work that I began as soon as I left this land was to separate this body from death.”
However, just as Focalor said as he stopped laughing, Focalor’s body repaired its wounds through its tentacles and merged with the freed head again. It was meaningless.
「Insanity Gauge 2%」
Then what should I do with that? I put the scimitar down. Only then did Focalor’s body recovery speed become faster.
“I don’t know how you defeated the Archdemon again and took control of his body, but… I don’t think I need to know.”
…I will correct it. Not only body restoration but also transformation began to take place.
“There is no need to respect a devil who has been pushed aside by a mere human anymore, even if he is a great devil!”
The skin on Focalor’s legs burst open and tentacles like octopus legs stretched out. It twisted around with each other, creating something that looked like a lion’s hind paw.
The front part had tentacles intact, but only the hind feet had the shape of legs, giving it a bizarre appearance.
That wasn’t all. Focalor’s upper body twisted with a crunching sound and gradually became enlarged. It was no longer a human skeleton.
A protruding exoskeleton covered her head like a helmet, eventually forming horns and teeth.
[There will be only death for those who try to destroy my kingdom!]
The changed words of the vocal cords spread out in the form of waves.
「???│???」
「❖ Fang aimed at Jakrati
∎ Liberating Ayu Hin
∎ Eliminating Focalor 0 / 1」
I cleaned up the useless explanation window and quest window and adjusted my sword.
Since I’ve seen that slashing doesn’t work, I have no idea how to fight back.
Should I replace it with a blunt weapon and crush it? Or find the weak spot and attack it? Burn it down with fire?
Quang!
After thinking for a moment, the attack came right away. Focalor’s arm extends its spiral tentacles in a straight line and shoots them at me.
However, stab-type attacks have the disadvantage of being easy to read while being able to inflict penetrating damage. I quickly moved out of the attack path.
Shoo!
One of the tentacles that had been twisted into a spiral came out and aimed at me.
Sigh!
I somehow managed to avoid it by backstepping once more. But Focalor’s tentacles didn’t stop at just one, so I had to move my feet again without even having time to catch my breath.
[The being that embraces the great evil is so insignificant. They were so desperate to avoid it that they were jumping around like animals!]
The sight of tentacles hitting the ground one after another took place in front of me.
It was a picture where if I took a step back, a tentacle would get stuck in its original spot. I don’t know if the tentacles were hard or the ground was soft, but the long stem dug into the ground very quickly.
[Still, killing the annoying 24th place was a very useful action. I praise you.]
Still, avoiding it wasn’t that difficult. The maximum number of tentacles that Focalor could move at once was seven.
[Even so, I have no intention of keeping it alive.]
In addition, the length of the tentacles was also not infinite.
Earlier, I measured the maximum length of the tentacles of Focalor, who was talking alone. As a rule of thumb, 15m. It’s not good news, but having a length limit isn’t a bad thing in itself.
[I offer unclean blood, unclean bones, and unclean flesh.]
But this is not right.
The Focalor that had bitten me from a distance—I backed away to check the length of its tentacles—wrapped its hands around the corpses around it with its tentacles.
The tentacles that attacked me earlier are hanging down like sleeves and not moving.
[Give me more strength.]
Now that I’ve completed my transformation, I think the attack will work. Or, if it was a two-hender instead of a scimitar, wouldn’t it still work?
I tried the slash again with some anticipation.
Unfortunately or naturally. The happiness circuit I had hoped for failed.
Although it was possible to damage the corpse, it could not inflict significant damage on Focalor. Even the bundle of tentacles that were cut off only produced new tentacles from the cross section.
I deliberately attacked various parts from various angles, but no one responded.
[Do you think it will work?]
It’s a plague. If this is the case, how can I kill him?
I wondered if I should really possess Hercules and bring fire to deal with the Hydra. What happened next made my eyes wide open.
“They do all kinds of things, really…”
It’s not enough to split the belly skin horizontally and stuff a corpse in there to swallow it.
Is it cannibalism followed by human sacrifice? It’s really hitting home.
I did not stop my eyebrows from furrowing and held the two-hender firmly. Aside from being difficult to block, I couldn’t just let it absorb the corpse.
At least it will be chopped and crushed. It’s hard to even bring it to your mouth unless you bring a shovel.
[Unlikely moves!]
That grumpiness had its effect. The slippery tentacles could not easily lift the dismembered body.
Even more so, the spilled intestines and blood cannot be picked up.
「Insanity Gauge 3%」
「Insanity Gauge 4%」
… Of course, that didn’t make me feel comfortable. I know they are all extremely evil people, but doesn’t that fact give me the right to dishonor the deceased?
“Insanity Gauge
is at 5%” and I can’t just keep humiliating corpses. If I continue to not inflict the damage I deserve, this fight will ultimately lead to my defeat.
The magic recovery speed is faster—I don’t know why—but it’s okay, but it’s not the madness gauge.
It even rose by 3% while I wasn’t looking at it for a while.
I also need to bring fire.
I advanced towards Focalor, who was enraged. Focalor thought I was being targeted and sent a bunch of tentacles at me.
However, the attack method is only vaguely understood.
I received help from the skill earlier, so there is no cooldown time. I moved my body under my own power, thinking back to the time I had spent splendidly playing with all kinds of flying species.
The first tentacle landed on the bottom of the foot that was raised to take a step, and as I cleverly avoided it, the second tentacle approached.
As my sword spins and cuts it off, the third tentacle turns slightly, aiming for my back.
I twisted my waist just as the third tentacle was launched. The tentacle pierced the fluttering hem of my coat, passed through the air in front of my chest, and pierced all the way to the floor.
My right arm grabbed it and swung it straight up. The thing that flipped upwards like a skipping rope hit the fourth tentacle.
five. My body kicked off the ground. six. The body, twisted flexibly in the air, easily avoided the tentacles.
Last seven. My sword cut off Focalor’s face and tentacles.
The body rotated once and slid and landed behind Focalor.
[This clown…!]
Wouldn’t a clown be better than a monster that is neither human nor demon? I ran with my back to Focalor with the slightest worry. Sigh! My legs started climbing up the wall.
Flap!
The hem of my coat billowed upwards, and I raised my eyebrows.
In front of me is a guard who watched both my play and Focalor’s transformation and chose to just tremble.
“That spit spit!”
The guard simply licked his lips, unable to form a single word. Would there be any good in keeping that thing alive?
I pondered as I jumped over the castle. There was only one result.
puck!
does not exist. The only people in this city whose lives were safe were the poor citizens caught up in this tragedy.
“Insanity gauge 6%.”
I turned my head right after hitting the guard’s head with my fist—since I had holstered the sword. On top of the castle wall was the fireplace and fireplace I had hoped for.
Hwareuk.
I put the fire in the brazier on the stove.
[The sight of him running away is truly ignoble!]
Below the wall, there is someone shouting who does not know what I am doing. Those were really sad words.
I checked Focalor’s location while holding the torch tightly. I can reach it at that level.
My hand grabbed the leg underneath the brazier and lifted it up. bang! Then, when he reaches the wall, he throws the brazier into the air and kicks it.
The bare firewood in the furnace jumped out and poured down.
[A mere human…!]
Focalor was quickly bitten by the fireball that rained down from above. But I couldn’t avoid all the embers and firewood, and that was enough for me.
Focalor cannot even recover from burns right away. The tentacles that squirm as if shuddering at the moment of contact with fire and the flesh that shrivels and does not recover like a piece of grilled meat prove this.
“I’ll bake it until it sizzles.”
My body holding the torch fell to the floor.
「Insanity Gauge 7%」
The flashing scarlet color dyed even the gray eyes reddish.
