Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 9

◈Episode 9 I didn’t know that (2)

Quang!

The blade, with pitch black energy leaking out, is truly ominous and razor-blue. However, if you know that it is a demon knight’s skill, there is no effect that is as suitable as this.

“Ugh!”

“You look like a baby turtle hiding behind the shield…!”

“You bastard…!”

The priest gritted his teeth at my provocation and immediately raised his mace.

“God is with me!”

Suddenly, brilliance was scattered throughout the forest that was locked in the night. This is because the mace has a white light as if it were a light source.

I don’t remember the name of the skill, was it roughly a notarization (increased attack power) buff? is not it. Was it proof (increased defense)?

Anyway, the pain when hit isn’t much different from before. Because of the compatibility, the priest’s attack deals 1.3x damage to me.

So I quickly stepped back. I don’t know what the level difference is, but if you’re not careful, you could end up losing more than half your life. In that case, it was better to be careful from the beginning.

Thump thump.

Rather than attacking me, the priest lightly tapped the shield with his mace and spread the light.

It was a scam. In the original version, you could only apply buffs to weapons.

“Hmph!”

The opponent then swung the mace as he moved forward and struck down the large rectangular shield.

It wasn’t an attack that was very difficult to avoid. This is because the priest class focuses on strength rather than agility, so the speed is very slow.

However, just because my opponent can’t hit me doesn’t mean I have an advantage.

My attack didn’t hit the opponent at all. It was all because of the large shield the opponent was carrying.

“You cowardly bastard…!”

Isn’t the person hiding behind a large shield with a 100% guard rate even more cowardly? I can’t even inflict damage unless I block the shield or run backwards…!

If I even try to hit it from behind, it will follow me around and spin around with its shield in hand. Even though it wears plate metal on the inside and has excellent defense, it doesn’t tolerate even a single hit.

He was a very disgusting priest.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to stare at the head?’

I was worried as I glared at the entire collection of roles.

Since I wasn’t wearing a helmet, a hit to the head would have been a critical hit even if I couldn’t do it.

How do you get through that big shield? You can never break through.

‘If pressed down with strong force.’

Skill… If you use a skill, you won’t know it again? Even if the guard rate is 100%, if you build up the stiffness to the maximum, the shield will be blocked.

“Tsk.”

Oh, I don’t know. Even if the standoff lasts too long, it’s tiring.

So, let’s at least throw a gamble now.

“I will definitely cut off your head and offer it to the victims!”

“Huh…”

I held the knife tightly.

The goal is to jump over the shield and attack. This is something you can only dream of because it is virtual reality, not a PC. Although you need to back it up with skills.

Still, in my view, I was neither a person with very bad skills nor a low desire for challenge. It’s worth a second thought.

Even if you fail anyway, since it’s a game, you can just start over.

For that reason, after taking a deep breath, I kicked the two-hender that had been tilted as if it was touching the ground. The bounced blade rotated smoothly and was held properly.

Boom!

And then he hit the top of the shield. The shield tilted slightly, and a groan escaped the opponent’s teeth. It’s really nice to have a reaction even though the attack probably wouldn’t have worked.

“Do you think you’ll lose?”

The opponent rushed at me using his shield. It felt like a bull was charging at me, but it wasn’t that scary because I could take at least 1 death.

Instead, he mechanically raised one of his hands, which had been holding the handle of the two-hander, to the ricasso part and passed the sword over his head.

thud!

At the same time, I lifted my body like a jump. The soles of my feet stepped on the slanted shield surface as if I was climbing a wall.

“…!”

The other person, who noticed the situation, tried to push me away with his shield, but I didn’t fly away like in the cartoon.

So, for a split second, my body was almost attached to the shield, and I swung the blade over my head. Using the hand holding the ricasso as an axis, he rotated the sword and extended the blade downward.

If you do this, the blade will be able to aim beyond the shield due to its rotated position.

The white blade struck beyond the shield.

“Tsk!”

Crack!

I aimed for the head, but the blade ultimately hit the shoulder. Due to the protective gear installed on his shoulders, he could not scratch or cut his skin. It was a pity.

I want to attack more here, but gravity is slowly embracing my body. I thought as I felt my body sliding off the shield.

hmm. If I fall like this, I think I’ll be hit by the mace that pops out on the left.

Just in case, I activated the skill ‘Survival Instinct’. A translucent arrow pointed to the right side of the shield. Even if the mace was swung, it was possible to avoid it.

So I shifted my weight to the side. It was a very wise decision. By falling to the side, I was able to avoid the subsequent blow from the mace.

Wow, I was appalled. As soon as I landed, I rolled once again. My body was completely outside the realm of the priest.

“This devil—.”

Still, it was a pretty good result. I didn’t do any damage, but somehow I came close to succeeding in the attack.

At least one scene was chosen correctly. I’m recording the entire play, so I’ll have to watch the video later.

“On the subject of fanaticism…!”

I barely managed to keep my eyes from rolling with laughter and rolled my body around, scolding furiously.

Thanks to that, I was positioned diagonally behind the priest.

The priest was even slowing down as he placed his shield on the ground and inserted his mace into the front of the shield.

“Pay the price for using your tongue!”

A great opportunity like this is coming? Oh, you can’t miss this. This time, I did it right!

“Flame, burn my enemies!”

I activated the skill and tried to strike the sword right away. That would have been the case if it weren’t for the spell that came from beyond the forest.

“There was another rat!”

and. There’s one more coming here. At this timing?

There really is no mercy. Is this an event that made you pass?

I didn’t bother to stop the crumpled expression and took a step back. A ball of flame crashed down on the spot where it had been just a moment ago, and a pillar of fire rose up momentarily.

The skills of the wizard profession were clear.

What should I say? At this point, I’m a little embarrassed even though I’m enjoying the game.

Just because it’s a story or an event, they suddenly introduce a heal tank and ADC combination as enemies? Even higher level than the player?

This is a bit immoral… isn’t it? To say that I came to the high level area first is because the quest here is a continuation of the tutorial.

“Archmage!”

“I never thought an Inquisitor would go through this much hardship.”

I narrowed my eyebrows and almost straightened them unconsciously when I heard the sound. This is because Archmage and Inquisitor were the 3rd job advancement names for Mage and Priest, respectively.

“It’s late, but I’ll help too.”

Of course, as the game genre changed, the meaning of job change disappeared—as clearly mentioned in the trailer—so for now, it would be best to just think of it as a title.

“Archmage? Ha, the wise man is nothing special! “If you see them hanging out with crazy people and randomly attacking passers-by!”

So throw the liver overboard! Even if the meaning of job change had been preserved, it would have been like this!

“A passerby? “How can a scum who made a contract with the devil pretend to be innocent!”

In the meantime, the priest just makes a statement that throws the concept straight. I can’t stand this.

“contract? “Did you say it was a contract?”

If you look at the lines alone, it’s as if you’re being misunderstood as having made a contract with the guy who killed your family.

Because of that incident, I am sacrificing my life to hunt down demons, so if I am misunderstood like that, I am bound to get upset.

“under! “I guess I gave up everything to the light of God and became blinded!”

To express those feelings, I let out a sharp laugh and strained my voice as much as I could.

It may seem like self-praise, but I felt like the anger gushing out from deep within my heart was expressed quite well.

It would be nice if even the facial expressions were perfect here. I’m not sure because I can’t see that. It’s dark anyway so you won’t be able to see it.

“Even God doesn’t need a fool who talks like that! “I will rip it into pieces and throw it to you as food for wild dogs!”

“How dare you be a traitor!”

“…? “Wait…”

The Archmage tried to say something, but it was faster for the two of us to adjust our weapons.

“A hostile target exists within a 10m radius.”

Sigh!

Also, the horrifying sound of metal piercing my ears was one step ahead of the priest and I taking our steps.

My steps instinctively stopped at the pop-up information window. I think the same goes for priests. The twinkling light doesn’t move.

“I guess I called the abominable bastard a colleague!”

I ignored the priest’s words and listened to my surroundings. As I alerted myself to the presence of an enemy, several signs came in. On a tree or under the ground.

And those dozens of sounds gathered in one place. Even the darkness could not hide its presence.

“…I was wondering what kind of demon I couldn’t see, but it turned out to be Medusa.”

The wizard muttered. It was loud enough to reach my ears. Even if he doesn’t tell me, he already knows.

“Medusa│A demon created by gathering hundreds of snakes around a single red snake. “When they sense danger, they scatter.”

As the floating window explains, Medusa is a colony of snakes. Thanks to this, the appearance itself is quite disgusting, and if it looks like it is about to die, it scatters and gathers around the red snake and is resurrected.

“under.”

But does it really matter? Since it is a mob that exists to be caught, there are hunting methods.

So what you need to pay attention to is the appearance of that guy and the fact that he is a devil.

“Are you the devil…!”

After all, this was a story! Otherwise, there is no way the enemy would appear at this timing!

Wouldn’t the original scenario be to use this as an excuse to cooperate with that side?

“You came out well, you bastards!”

But I refuse to do that!

Anyway, the concept I interpreted and established was a very unsociable and uncooperative group. It is even more impossible if the person you are cooperating with is someone who has been fighting so hard.

“I will give you death!”

However, the reason I turned the blade was simply because of the character analysis that showed that the hatred towards the devil would be greater than the anger towards the other side.

At the end, I dived in like I was diving and pretended to have a crazy expression on my face.

Of course, he turned around without hesitation, as if he had forgotten about the priest and the wizard. They were now in second place! Haha.

“To my sword, victory, glory to heaven!”

Unlike the shining priest, he is not confident in dealing with the snake in the dark without light.

I shouted loudly and turned on the light. Medusa had to distinguish between colors, so light was essential.

“What…”

I think I heard a stupid voice coming from behind me, but it’s none of my business. If you don’t hit me now, that’s enough.

In fact, even if I got hit on the back… I was already prepared to die. ‘Priest, you know how to fight. In fights, the rule is to stay behind.’ I guess that’s the end of my impressions.

But why would you hit it in the first place? The story is out of sync then. In the first place, I think if I don’t mess up now, I’ll crush it in a few minutes.

Shishisissit!

All told, the first thing I did was plunge the two-hender into Medusa’s body. Dozens of snakes fell apart, their bodies cut and split.

However, new snakes came in to take their place. Snakes that were not dead sometimes stuck out their tongues and teeth.

ignored. The pain level was low so it didn’t hurt. The displayed HP is not being worn down significantly.

A gauntleted hand plowed through a colony of snakes.

Sisit!

Ah, how much I wanted this when I played the original.

Even if you are bitten by a snake, it will bite like 2 or 5 dams anyway, so it is better to get hit and kill the snake. In the original, you had to cut off some blood and then find the red guy when the snakes dispersed and attack him…

“Is that you…!”

With a snake hanging from the nape of the neck and limbs, he managed to find the red snake. The pulled out red snake struggled to escape from my hand.

But at this point, it’s a bit difficult for me to attack.

I threw the red snake I had pulled out in another direction as if it were a beating. He then grabbed the two-hender that had been stuck in a colony of snakes.

A long sword emerged from the pile of snakes, dripping with red blood and a brilliance that reflected the lantern tied to its belt.

Suddenly!

Before the red snake could run away, the blade struck its body. The long body split in two and shed blood.

But you never know. It was cut close to the tail, so it might still be alive.

Sigh!

I drew my sword and brought it down again. The snake’s head, which was writhing either from rigor mortis or from the will to survive, was cut into pieces.

puck!

It was cut horizontally and then vertically. But my hatred for the devil will not end with this.

He also waved his sword gently. I felt proud when I saw the crushed head. You have to take care of even the little things like this to have a true concept.

「LEVEL UP!」

「❖ Danger lurking in the northwest forest

∎ Search for the demon hidden in the northwest forest

∎ Eliminate the demon 1 / 1

∎ Retrieve evidence of hunting 0 / 1」

Meanwhile, the quest was updated.

When the core dies, the snakes that made up Medusa’s body begin to scatter in all directions. The feel of the snake falling away from my body was cool and wet.

“Ha…”

I raised the corners of my mouth as I looked at the dead Medusa. I can’t tell because I don’t have a mirror, but it probably isn’t a very pretty smile. Rather than laughing out loud, it would be closer to madness.

Also, if you smile while covered in blood, how can that be pretty? I’m glad I don’t look like a crazy person.

Oh, now that I think about it, it’s true that only demons are crazy, so it might be a good thing if they look like that.

Well, whatever. This completes the quest. Now, the only ones left are the wizard and the priest…

They’re probably excited because they just killed a demon, and since those two have a grudge against them for being mistaken for demons, it’s right that they’re reacting even more violently than before, right?

Okay, overly immersed!

I slightly turned my sore neck and placed the sword on my shoulder .

Then, he stared at the two with the smile erased but the thirst and madness for the devil remaining.

“I commend you for not getting involved in killing those damn rats. “It seems that even fanatics have their last thoughts.”

Actually, I knew that this might be a bit of a hindrance to the story.

But if I speak out now and the story is ruined, wouldn’t it be just as fun?

If they give this much freedom in the first place, it means that the game company is confident that they can cover it.

“Then now, I’ll rip that mouth off like I promised.”

So, do whatever you want. Even if the concept died, you couldn’t give up.
