Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 82
◈Episode 82 Don’t do this (7)
Don’t you feel unfair about why you have to go through this?
Aren’t you angry about why you have to go through this unprecedented humiliation?
Don’t suppress it. Pour it out.
Your anger is justified.
* * *
“haha.”
The Inquisitor frowned slightly at the intense pain that came as soon as he relaxed slightly. As I breathe heavily, the white edges of my vision are returning to their original state.
“Did it work…?”
She wiped her sweat and glared at the person in the distance.
Did I destroy it? Is it true that the devil can no longer run wild in the devil knight’s body?
The Inquisitor’s green eyes continued to look at the fallen man.
The person who had a hollow wound on his abdomen was not moving at all.
“…after.”
Only then did she sit down. Even though I wasn’t hurt at all, it felt like my whole body was screaming.
“Ugh.”
The side effects that remain after using divine power cannot be cured by anything.
So she endured the pain and took a deep breath. Crack, thump. Footsteps were heard from afar.
“Are you alive?!”
What I’m asking when I come here is whether or not I’m alive. So, of course you’re still alive, but you’re hoping that I’m dead? Anyway, that thief cannot be viewed positively at all.
The Inquisitor grunted in vain and stretched his limbs.
I had to maintain proper posture according to the teachings of the church, but there was no other way. It was hard enough for her just sitting down right now.
“May God not be angry…”
At least I didn’t lie down, so I just pray that God will look down on me.
“You’re alive, right? “Why aren’t you answering?”
“…noisy.”
“You’re alive and well. But why is your head shaped like that? Did a rat eat it?”
At the thief’s point, she reflexively raised her hand and smoothed her hair. The ear wasn’t completely cut off, so it was reattached somehow, but the hair near it was shortened to a length of a finger.
“It was cut.”
The Inquisitor was a little disappointed by the difference in hair length from side to side, but then composed himself and wondered if his ears were still intact. Hair was just something that would grow back over time.
“…It’s extremely messy.”
If the fight is rough, clothes are bound to be torn and ruined. But pointing out that obvious fact? After all, he is an idiot.
She was so upset that she didn’t even reply. The thief didn’t ask further whether he wanted an answer or not.
Instead, something was placed on my shoulder. It was a hooded shawl that the thief always wore.
The Inquisitor’s eyes turned to the thief.
“What, why?”
It’s very cool because it’s night, but dawn will come soon. To begin with, this level of chill was not even cold to her.
So she closed her eyes.
“Not required.”
“You get what you give.” Or do you hate me for being a thief?”
“That’s not true.”
It’s not cold. The Inquisitor adjusted the green hood but soon gave up on returning it. I’m too tired to argue with that loudmouth.
“Are people being evacuated and coming?”
Instead, she asked only what she was most curious about. I can get the answer just by looking at the fact that the loser came this far, but I wanted confirmation in proper words.
“Ha, of course.”
Is that so?
She was relieved to hear that people had been evacuated. Even though there is still a mountain of work to be done, we cannot help but welcome the news that the biggest threats have been eliminated.
“The main unit has also arrived. “I saw it coming.”
“That’s a good story.”
Once the main force has arrived, we will be able to clean out the remaining demons in the city. In addition, people will be able to move to the right place and…
“The devil knight…”
“He is over there. But don’t approach.”
We will be able to properly seal the demon knight.
“…Has the devil gone away?”
“well.”
I hope she does too. However, I feel that the demonic energy within the Demon Knight’s body is not decreasing at all. I passed out right now, but no one knows if I’ll be sane when I wake up again.
“But he will come back.”
But she believed. If not when he wakes up next time, then at the next time or the day after that, the original demon knight will wake up.
“I guess I should get up.”
I caught my breath enough to catch my breath. She forced herself to stand up, swallowing the groaning sound that came out of her mouth.
“Why don’t you rest a little more?”
“Can not be done. “You have to put a seal on it.”
Before the demon knight awakens, at least a simple seal must be placed. Thanks to the Demon Knight’s resistance from within, we were able to subdue it without much damage, but there’s no guarantee that it will happen again next time.
If you don’t want to see the demon knight die from worsening wounds, you should also treat the wound on his abdomen.
“Seal?”
“It’s just in case.”
“I know that. “Then what happens to the knight Nari?”
She wondered why Tteantjil was so embarrassed.
“Then I just have to break the seal?”
“…Can you solve it?”
“There is no seal in the world that cannot be broken.”
“Isn’t sealing… something that takes a long time and is grandiose? Preventing him from ever waking up?”
“There are such large-scale seals, but I don’t know how to do them.”
All she could do was a simple binding seal. A seal that binds the body tightly with chains of divine power and restricts movement.
“I wasn’t going to do it in the first place.”
Above all, large-scale sealing prevents not only demons but also demon knights from awakening. You can’t do that. Because she believes in demon knights.
“It’s fortunate, but… Kim Sae-ne.”
However, the views of the church coming now are probably different.
The Inquisitor swallowed that future. The demon knight will wake up fine as always. It will happen.
It must be so….
“Is that a technique?”
“okay.”
“…Can I lend you my shoulder?”
“…okay.”
She stumbled as she wrote down the ceremony and then accepted the thief’s kindness. My pride was hurt, but I was in no shape to be stubborn. My limbs were trembling for no reason due to the tingling pain that was engraved throughout my body.
Although the thief is not mentioned, her entire body must be wet with cold sweat.
“How big is the magic trick?…”
How much of a circular formula was written around the demon knight, stitch by stitch?
“Isn’t this one line?”
“The sealing ceremony usually starts with two lines.”
“That’s annoying… avoid it!”
When she had barely completed one line, the thief pushed her to the side. There was no need to ask why the fuss was happening.
Quang!
A pitch-black energy swept over the place where they were.
“…!”
The overwhelming anxiety reached its peak the moment I raised my head to understand the situation.
She could see the demon knight standing up. However, half of his face is stained black as if it has been eaten by something.
Murderous intent, shaped by demonic energy, engulfed his right eye and flowed from the eye socket.
A strong demonic energy stirred throughout his body.
“Fuck, this is messed up, right?”
The tension that was once relieved had already made my whole body tense. However, there is no way you can avoid a fight just because your body is heavy.
She gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the mace. I was so glad I didn’t leave my weapon on the floor.
“I’m in charge of this place. Run away!”
“Damn it!”
The Inquisitor prayed to God. She was given an amount that could instantly heal a knife wound.
The price you pay is muscle soreness the day after too much exercise.
“Tsk!”
But even that is a burden for her now. A moan escaped from my teeth.
Just right.
Unfortunately, the other person did not understand her situation. When the Demon Knight’s left hand was flexed, the demonic energies circling his body began to gather into several groups.
The elongated mass of magi with only the sharp end is reminiscent of a spear.
“…?”
Is something like that possible? Isn’t it the realm of magic to gather energy and project it out in the air, rather than projecting the energy contained in the body or weapon?
The Inquisitor had a superficial question. It was a question that would soon disappear.
Spears rained down on her.
Pabababak.
I quickly rolled on the floor with my heavy legs. The spear continued to hit the ground after her.
Sssss.
The Inquisitor ran sideways, maintaining his distance from the Demon Knight. At that moment, what came into her sight was something flowing through the darkness.
It was a black air current. No, it was red blood. The blood spilled from the iron pit as it tilted and shook while she and the demon knight fought.
“What!”
The blood that gathered in front of the Demon Knight’s left hand slowly began to take on a single shape.
It was a sword. A sword made of extremely dense denial.
The two-hender that was previously held has become thinner and slightly shorter, becoming a size that can be held with one hand.
“God, give me the strength to fight once again.”
Will God give me more divine power? Rather, can you handle that pain?
Can we purify that?
The Inquisitor suppressed the urge to sound weak. If we can’t even overcome this adversity, how will we catch the devil?
Grumble.
My nosebleed again. I feel like something is flowing in my eyes. Okay. My memory is vague, but it was like this when I caught the sea dragon.
So just like she succeeded then, she will overcome this time too.
I’m sure we’ll overcome it….
Quickly!
She rolled to the side to avoid the hastily swung Two-Hender. However, it was outside the attack range. Contrary to what was expected, the demon knight’s sword cut off the flesh of her shoulder.
The hem of the clothes the thief lent me was also badly torn.
“…!”
Why was it right? Her eyes widened without even realizing it. The demon knight awakened once again and swung his sword.
She quickly backed away. Only then did she realize why she had been hit.
When the demon knight swung his sword, another trajectory was engraved in the air about 30cm away, following the same trajectory as the sword strike that was swung half a beat later.
Two additional attacks come in horizontally from above and below the sword surface.
To avoid that, you have to jump a little farther. She realized it.
“Ugh!”
However, if you know everything and can avoid it, anyone can become a master of fighting.
Another stab wound was carved into her forearm.
“Demon knight!”
Be patient. She approached the demon knight, feeling the presence of nosebleeds and bloody tears that were purified by divine power and disappearing.
A spear created in the air flew out and interrupted her.
Meanwhile, the demon knight slid back and raked his blood sword from bottom to top.
The demonic energy began to spread out like a fan, splitting the earth. It was like a flame.
“…!”
This cannot be avoided.
She put divine power first. A solid film of light was beaten by black energy. The one vaguely visible in the middle is a demon knight preparing to swing his sword with his arms crossed.
The Inquisitor rolled forward as his instincts told him to do. The burning demonic energy that was still attached to the ground burned my cloak and crushed my skin, but in the end, it was the right choice.
The demon knight instantly shot right in front of where she was and swung his sword. The extended sword strike split the ground and even cut down the castle beyond.
It seemed like a glimpse of the scenery beyond the castle could be seen through the gap that had been cut out. It was a formidable force.
Still, thanks to rolling forward, I was able to occupy the back of the demon knight. She swung the mace with all its divine power.
The man who twisted his back blocked the mace with his blood sword and attempted to stab her in the abdomen with his two-hender.
Sigh!
A spiral-shaped magical energy shot out from the sword fired in a straight line, piercing everything in a straight line. A large wound appeared on the side of the Inquisitor, who avoided being hit directly by the blade, but was unable to escape the range of the magic vortex.
Tattered flesh and torn muscles vomited blood as if they had been forcibly torn off.
“Ugh.”
Although recovery is possible, an additional burden is unavoidable. She rolled on the floor, trying to steady her body.
The opponent, probably overflowing with magical energy like a goddamn great devil, swung the blood sword diagonally without giving the slightest pause.
The earth split and demonic energy surged through the cracks. A black flame that burned for a long time remained along its trail.
There is no time to attack. The Inquisitor’s lips were finally crushed by his teeth.
“Hwaaaap!”
However, if there is no space, you can make it yourself.
She barely dodged a straight stab attack fired through the flames and then grabbed the mace. The intention was to shake the ground and make it lose its balance.
Kang!
“…!”
But it’s too fast.
She parried the attack before she could hit the ground with her mace. The two swords focused on one point scratched the mace.
It was the first mark engraved on a mace smelted only from star metal and baptized iron.
“What—!”
And of the two swords stabbing the mace, Two-Hender, which had become shorter than a long sword, stepped back. Thanks to this, the pushing pressure was reduced by half, but there were not many birds that could take advantage of it.
The two-hender split the air, aiming for her head. The Inquisitor’s waist urgently bowed.
wickedness!
The sword itself was dodged, but the additional traces cut off several strands of hair.
At the same time, the Inquisitor tackled the demon knight’s body. It was an instinctive judgment of what would happen if I fell like this.
Pow!
It was an empty wind. The demonic energy instantly surged from the demon knight’s body and then burst out.
“Ugh.”
The divine protection that protected her body only prevented her entire body from being torn to pieces. However, there was nothing I could do about the rolling backwards and the slight scratches.
Additionally, the thighs and forearms were pierced by the created magic spear.
Sigh.
I moved my body to avoid giving in to it.
It was only in one moment that the devil knight approached her. The blood sword that approached the floor scratched upwards and expressed flaming demon energy in the shape of a fan.
The sword swings one after another as if predicting the direction she will avoid. Three sword marks, resembling flames and the claws of an animal, were left on the ground one after another.
The Inquisitor’s brow furrowed. There are absolutely no gaps. Even if you try to make it, the speed is too different.
It is urgent to avoid it.
however.
however.
Because I can’t give in here.
For the first time, she released divine power only through her body rather than through a mace. I’ve never tried anything like this before, but now was not the time to be reckless.
The moment her strengthened body touched the ground, the energy that escaped through her feet as an entrance shook the ground.
“…!!”
Kugugoogung.
The ground rose and fell randomly as if there had been an earthquake.
In the midst of it all, the Inquisitor had a nosebleed. Using a weapon as an axis to unleash divine power and using a body as an axis are very different. That realization was engraved in her mind.
Doing it in the flesh was more intuitive, but the release of power was unsettling and more painful.
It hurt.
Indeed, even though I am used to the pain.
“Demon Knight!!”
You can still stand though. You can move.
The Inquisitor clenched his hands, which were about to lose strength, and pushed the ground with his feet. My body rushed forward.
Sigh!
Just then, the demon knight plunged his blood sword into the ground.
Boom boom boom!
One step later, a pillar of fire made of demonic energy rose up. The Demon Knight realized that he was half a beat behind and would stop only after retrieving the blood sword.
And inside, the Inquisitor held up the iron piece of the pit that was used to contain the blood. The iron piece that bounced off her foot flew away in her empty hand.
A three-pronged slash cut it into four pieces. The Inquisitor now stands right behind him and seeks to shake the earth once again.
“Please come to your senses!”
The Inquisitor stepped forward with three deep lacerations on his body. The ground shook, taking away the Demon Knight’s balance. The magic energy was disturbed.
[Gretchen.]
But the moment she took a step, thinking it was an opening, she was about to swing the mace like that.
The corner of the demon knight’s mouth rose slightly.
[Adopt your anger.]
Even if your demon energy is disturbed, you can still wield the sword. Even though it cannot fire a slash of proper power, it can contain magical energy in the sword itself.
The Inquisitor overlooked it, and as a result, the Demon Knight pulled out the blood sword that was stuck in the ground and swung it.
[Then at least you feel refreshed.]
There is absolutely no way to avoid it with this sword.
A certainty that was no different from a prophecy was engraved in the Inquisitor’s mind. The area around my neck became scary.
“Cohesive and build a protective wall!”
Then, suddenly, several layers of transparent walls were erected in front of the Inquisitor.
Clink!
Even though it wasn’t properly loaded with magical power, it was a wall that could be split with a single strike from the demon knight.
However, it clearly gave the Inquisitor time to withdraw. That was enough.
“Inquisitor!”
“…! Archmage?!”
She saw a face that she had not seen in a very long time. The Archmage, whose clothes were all messed up as he ran in a hurry, had dozens of wizards and priests on his tail.
“It’s not too late, right?”
With the Deathbringer gasping, the Demon Knight’s gaze turned towards him.
“Get down!”
She shouted urgently and stood between the reinforcements and the demon knight.
The divine power quickly aligned, forming a protective shield, and the demon knight swung his sword. The four tracks cut through the shield as easily as wheat bread and clawed at the castle wall behind.
Fortunately, everyone listened to her words and fell down, so no one’s body was cut in half. At least that’s what it looked like.
“Redemption ceremony!”
“No, it shouldn’t spread! If it spreads, you can’t protect it! “Please purify it on the spot!”
At her cry, the priests settled down and began to pray. Purification is inherently effective when you are close to or surround the object to be purified, but the situation is different.
She doesn’t have the ability to cover all directions, and the Demon Knight can cut people down with a single wave of his hand. It’s better to concentrate in one direction where she can block it.
It will get better.
The back of the Inquisitor’s hand wiped his bloody nose. Originally, the sacred power would have been burned, but now there is no room for that. I pretended not to, but my eyesight was blurry.
It was difficult.
“Bind!”
At that time, several wizards chanted binding spells. White and blue chains rose up and tried to tie up the demon knight.
With a single wave of his hand as if he was annoyed, all the chains were shattered and scattered. It was really strong, but it was too strong.
“Take it!”
Still, that fleeting moment of time gave me another opportunity. Two figures approached from behind and threw something.
“This is…”
Boom!
Like the mace, the large shield, a sacred object made from a mixture of star metal and iron, and her reliable partner, finally stood before her.
Quang!
The spears fired by the Demon Knight stuck on the large shield just in the nick of time. Unlike cheap shields, holy relics that efficiently received a large amount of divine power easily destroyed the spears.
The burden has been eased. However, the fatigue that has already accumulated does not disappear.
“Flame, burn my enemies!”
Meanwhile, several wizards, including the Archmage, fired attack magic.
The demon knight’s hand drew a circle on the floor with the blood sword he was holding. Flames soared and blocked all attack magic.
[I’ll kill everything that’s bothering you.]
The attacks come at different timings, so the attacks that come after the flames have died down are the same. The demon knight easily destroyed them with a simple swing of his sword.
[I will burn and tear to free your heart.]
Rather, he attacked on the spot. The blood sword stuck in the ground and spread out magical energy using the earth as a channel.
It is a pillar of fire. The Inquisitor’s eyes widened at the pattern he had experienced earlier.
“You can’t go past this!”
Her hand slammed the shield into the ground. Part of his vision became mottled red, as if the blood vessels near his eyes had burst.
The light that bloomed after eating the blood purified the invading demonic energy.
[But why are you interrupting me?]
It hurts. The Inquisitor’s legs shook slightly.
[Why… don’t you comply?]
“God, burn away the negativity and erase the evil!”
Two Hender’s sword strikes. She closed her eyes tightly as a prayer was heard behind her. I still had to endure more.
[Why.]
Tuk.
There was the sound of something falling.
[Why?]
She looked ahead again with reddened vision. The demon knight dropped his blood sword and was holding his forehead.
The Inquisitor’s green eyes sparkled with a faint hope.
“Attack now!”
no. His appearance just now was clear.
“Okay, let’s sleep… sigh.”
The Inquisitor wanted to block the flying attack. But I couldn’t stop it.
The techniques used by the wizards and priests flew through the air and bombarded the place where the demon knight was. A cloud of dust rose.
“…Did you get rid of it?”
…Could he really be dead?
She looked into the clouds with anxious eyes. The feeling of wanting the demon knight to fall and the feeling of wanting him not to die were intertwined.
I knew that he was truly dangerous, but despite that, I hoped that the demon knight was still alive.
[Dear Gretchen.]
…But I didn’t want him to still be possessed by the devil.
The murderous intent dripping from the demon knight’s right eye was like a drop of blood.
[That can’t be done.]
As he put down the blood sword, his free hand swept the sword of Twohender. The sword regained its original shape – long and huge – and was held tightly in both hands.
The blood sword that had fallen to the floor is now disintegrating into blood and gathering on the blade of Two Hender.
[Anger is something that swallows everything.]
Something big is coming.
Overcoming mixed emotions such as sadness and relief, my instincts rang an alarm.
“Everyone gather in the center!”
She shouted reflexively and slammed her shield in front of her. The divine power that I don’t know what kind of spirit it was gathered into was contained in the shield, completing a rectangular protective shield. The pain was so far away that she could no longer move her fingertips and toes, but it could not overcome the screams of her instincts.
wickedness.
A sound like dust rang in my ears for a moment. The dull pain I expected did not occur.
“…!”
Other than that, I couldn’t feel it. There was a vivid feeling that something was pressing down on them. For some reason, the back felt empty.
“….”
The Inquisitor’s head turned back as if possessed. I saw people. And then I saw the city. I could see a city that should not have been seen because it was hidden by a castle.
“The castle…”
disappeared.
I got goosebumps for a moment.
“Have you been watching until now…?”
No, that can’t be true. Not only was there no way that the demon that took over the body of the demon knight would look after her, but if she unleashed such a massive attack, even the great demon would definitely be in trouble—.
[If there is no place to return to, there is no point in resisting.]
Sigh!
“Wow!”
The shield was forced to the side. It hurt like my arm was going to break, but the problem was elsewhere.
[Right?]
“Ugh!”
My neck was grabbed.
[So give up.]
“Ugh—.”
She looked at the demon knight who grabbed her neck and lifted her up. Although she is somehow resisting with divine power, the pressure on her neck is gradually overwhelming her.
[I cry over your helplessness.]
My mind wants to protest by swinging my mace or kicking, but why doesn’t my body listen to me?
[So angry.]
My breathing began to get tighter and tighter.
“Let him go, you devil!”
Crash!
At that time, several of these people, who were probably Heresy Questioners, rushed in.
no. Her throat tried to spit out the words, but it was impossible.
The demon knight moved the sword he was holding in his other hand. Sigh! The sound of meat being cut and blood gushing could be heard.
“Say to God…!”
[…Keep bothering me!]
One after another, spears were created in the air above the devil knight’s head.
It flew backwards past her. The spells of the wizards, including the Archmage, were cut off and screams erupted.
[Persistent!]
“Ugh!”
A feeling of helplessness began to take over her whole body.
Phew.
“Damn, I don’t know what you were mumbling about earlier, but please come to your senses.”
Then, for a moment, there was a sound of something being stabbed.
[…this.]
“Knock knock.”
Just before my vision went black, my neck relaxed.
She sat down with her legs weakened and took a deep breath.
As if being lowered wasn’t enough, through the blurry vision, I could see the legs of the demon knight and the legs of the being standing behind them. It belonged to someone even a dazed mind could recognize.
“why…?”
Why do you always whine about not being a superhuman?
[A mere human…!]
“Oh shit.”
Clink.
She saw the Demon Knight smash the Kukri on his shoulder with his bare hands and then turn to the thief.
“No…”
That was all I had to stop. The thief was no better than an ordinary person, with only a little talent. This means that even if a demon knight just waved his hand without swinging his sword, he would die.
It absolutely had to be stopped.
“no…!”
wake up. You have to wake up.
I forced my blurry vision into focus.
“No, Demon Knight!”
The demon knight’s sword was lowered.
* * *
What is he saying now.
Stop talking bullshit and get out of there.
* * *
Deathbringer unconsciously raised his arms. I knew it couldn’t protect him, but it was physiological behavior.
However, even though I could clearly hear the sound of the slash firing, I did not feel any pain. He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
“…A knight?”
The demon knight’s right pupil, which was filled with bright red energy just a moment ago, was changing into that of an ordinary person, with the white of the eye and the pupil distinguishable.
The sword that must have been aimed at him exists, shattered on the ground to his right.
“…two.”
“…?”
“dumpling.”
dumpling? what is that?
He heard the words muttered by the demon knight. I didn’t know what it meant. It was a word I had never heard before.
“Meat buns.”
However, he was able to vividly witness everything that happened in the next moment.
“Sorry.”
A devil knight with his back turned to the rising east, with a scarlet veil over his hair, which was turning gray as if the water was fading away.
“I’m really sorry.”
He smiled sweetly and apologized.
By stabbing yourself in the stomach with a sword.
40 participants. 31 minor injuries. 4 seriously injured, 0 dead.
It was the moment when the vessel containing the great evil was subdued.
