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

Episode 287: Understandable (3)

“Kyeong, go quickly to the place where the White Jade Knight was!”

“yes…!”

“and you! From now on, you are the centurion! Command!”

“yes!”

Günther hastily selected someone to replace the dead commander.

I was very fortunate to have heard something from the soldiers on a regular basis. A few people who had a low probability of being fragging and were capable came to mind immediately and were selected for temporary promotion.

“Our goal is to hold on! All you have to do is hold out until each city sends reinforcements! Did you understand?!”

Even in between selecting people, he kept giving encouraging words. My throat was extremely dry and my hungry stomach felt like it was being squeezed, but I persevered.

There was no one who could replace him in this position now.

“I’m thirsty…”

“I’m hungry…”

“Being thirsty and hungry is just an illusion! The illusion will disappear once that monster leaves! Be patient! “You can overcome this!”

There is no one else and no one else can do it.

“We can overcome it!”

He thought for a moment about the sound of his voice growing in inverse proportion to his morale. Is it right to say this? Does this work?

This this this this this this act.

『I can’t believe that out of all the candidates for succession, someone like you is the best.』

…Can I do it?

“…We can overcome!!”

He clenched his trembling hands into fists. The suddenly handed over duties were so heavy that I couldn’t keep my hands open, so I clenched them into fists. I was out of breath.

“Don’t lose your weapon. Get it right!”

“We can win!”

What an old dog. If you’re going to give a damn about being disappointed, why are you leaving alone? Why did you do it in the first place when you were always complaining that something like you wouldn’t work?

Doing much better than me and others like me.

“There is no back for us! Even if I die, I die here! Take up arms for your family, friends and lovers!”

He managed to straighten his burdened shoulders and straighten his back as much as he was scared. “Uh oh!” Suddenly, an exclamation, almost like a scream, came from one side.

It was the place where the traitor confronted the soldiers.

“What!”

Could it be that Topaz was attacked by a traitor?

Feeling ominous, he stopped giving orders and ran towards the place. If Topaz was defeated, there would be no manpower to deal with the traitor, so there was no choice.

Should I bring Sapphire now? Or even two articles? But now, if we take them out, there will be someone who can lead them…

Gunther’s mind became complicated, and the wall where the traitor was was finally came into view.

“What the heck.”

There was only topaz.

“What’s going on?!”

“That thing.”

Sir Topaz quivered his lips and pointed outside the castle walls with his finger.

“The unknown young man fell like a traitor.”

“…what?”

He urgently clung to the castle. While I was manning the place, I saw an army of demons approaching and two figures falling outside the castle walls.

Even after falling tens of meters, they clashed their swords as if there was no damage.

The fluttering brown hair brought with it an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

“The author of Soseongju is….”

At that time, someone came up to him. It was a face that, as the owner of Soseong, one could not recognize.

“Bishop?”

The bishop chewed his lip a couple of times, even though he knew that every second was precious. The frowning eyes are full of contempt, embarrassment, etc.

“That brown hair… has demonic energy that is comparable to that of the plague beast, perhaps even higher.”

Finally, the bishop opened his mouth.

“yes?”

“I felt like morale would drop if this fact spread, so I ordered the priests to stop joining. However… you must be on guard.”

“What…”

The bishop glanced at the demons’ advance and quietly thrust the sentence into his ear.

I discovered demonic energy coming from inside the city and witnessed Emerald’s betrayal while running towards me. The content was that when the owner of the Magi saw him confronting the traitor, rather than being hostile towards him, he instructed the priests from the moment they joined.

“…I understand for now. “I am grateful to the bishop for his wisdom.”

“I just did what I had to do. “We will prepare for any emergency.”

“please.”

He barely suppressed the urge to scream at the new weight on his shoulders. A demonic energy equal to or greater than that of the plague beast. Doesn’t that mean that the brown haired person is the great devil?

“Lord So Seong.”

“… Topaz, you too, remain silent.”

A new variable has been added to an already headache-inducing situation. The good news is that the variable is working in a way that is beneficial to them for the time being.

“…The person who killed the lord of the castle and poisoned the knight, causing great damage to the city, is a senior knight who does not feel any demonic energy, and the person who is presumed to be the great evil is actually fighting for our city. “The world is really fun.”

Günther put his hand into the hem of his cloak at this funny fact. I felt dizzy for no reason.

“It’s Lord Amber…”

“Sir Amber is back.”

His dizziness was made even worse by the words of the soldiers around him.

“…Damn it.”

The person fighting outside is not Lord Amber. He’s dead and that thing is a demon with demonic energy. Because it’s just a demon that happens to resemble Lord Amber.

“Lord Amber! Please give Munmund victory!”

“Please bring salvation to this place!”

But,

but.

Günther prayed quietly as he watched swords clashing with each other.

It’s okay to say that she has become the devil, so I hope the real Lord Amber comes back.

* * *

Chaeng Chaeng!

Is it because the space to step on has expanded and the obstacle of being a soldier has disappeared? My opponent’s sword strikes began to emit more intense sounds.

Cough!

Of course, there is still no room for comparison as far as skills are concerned. I’m not good at it, and she’s someone who, from what I heard, has never lost a knightly battle.

“You’re not stupid.”

However, if I was going to be obsessed with that, I wouldn’t have changed the battlefield even if I got stabbed in the shoulder. I countered the sophisticated swordsmanship with my forte, immense magical power.

bang!

The magically infused ground cracked and shook, shaking the opponent’s sword. The magical spears that appeared from all over the front, back, left, and right sides made it difficult to avoid no matter what movement she chose.

“It’s just immature.”

However, I wondered if the art of making noodles with lines would be possible if one reached a certain level. The sword body and whip, which seemed to flow slowly, bloomed beautifully, scattering light like jewels.

If this scene had been observed from the sky, would the emerald roses have been in full bloom? The fluttering veil of Aurora instantly cut down all the magical spears and slid over my sword.

The sword spirit, as cunning as a snake and as cunning as moonlight, struck my sword away with a sinister trajectory and touched my hand. Sigh! The leather gloves were torn, leaving shallow blood lines on the backs of my hands.

Suddenly!

However, there are already too many wounds to give in to that. Instead of worrying about a single scratch, I continued the attack.

Spears falling from the sky and shaking earth created fireworks on the ground. Jet-black sparks flew around like ashes.

Cough!

Even at that moment, the swords collide. The black whip, filled with magic, twisted in a strange way and tore through the air, clashing endlessly while the distorted air shattered my magic spear.

Kang! A hand wrapped in magic like finger armor struck away the blade of the rapier and aimed at the open arms. Cough! It doesn’t work. The opponent quickly returned the sword by gently bending and accelerating the sword that had been pushed away. Rapiers and longswords clashed and returned again.

“It’s a pity.”

Will I be able to imitate that movement someday? At the end of the seen but unseen technique, the sword that drew a circle carved a veil of magical power. Passasasak. Several spears fired straight ahead were shattered, and the ground that I had not shaken took on a similar shape with one kick from her.

“Even Iida can only use his powerful magical power like this.”

Sigh. Before I knew it, the whip came, tore and twisted the space to her left, and then wrapped around my longsword with a strange bend. At the same time, the rapier, which escaped to the right, whipped around her right side, back, and above her head. Many things come at her from angles she can never avoid.

Cheaeng!

When did we meet again? I felt the sword intertwined with the sword and the strangely twisted blade touching my elbow. wickedness. Some of the flesh was cut off along with the hem of the clothes. It was funny to see the hem of my shirt fluttering around with fresh blood.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

I stamped my feet, ignoring the black arm that was exposed in the air. The magical power that burst from my body subtly released the sword and instead deflected the swung whip. The other person looked quite interesting.

“Are you the 72nd Knight or the Great Devil?”

The question that followed was similar. She stared at me with a face as pretty as porcelain. Even though the gaze did not convey any sense of murderous intent, hostility, or even discomfort, it somehow felt burdensome.

Cough!

Once again her and my swords clashed. Instead of using magic spears, they just clashed swords with swords, and the wounds on their elbows increased in an instant.

“Those words do not define me.”

The statement that it is neither is very nicely expressed. I deduced the identity of my opponent by pushing away her sword and simultaneously throwing a magic spear. If it’s not the Great Devil or something else, what is it?

“So you’re a devil worshiper?”

square. The person who erased the spear by rotating his sword with a snap that might have been more like a work of art pursed his lips.

“What a foolish person. “I can only guess.”

“You’re not.”

If it’s not the devil, it’s not the devil, it’s not the devil’s devil, then what is it? Someone who cooperated for personal gain? Simply a facilitator of a transactional relationship?

But if you were really in that position, how did you immediately know my identity?

“But it’s really amazing. “I heard it’s not easy to define what’s inside unless you’re related to the devil.”

Even the people at the temple easily knew the fact that I contained demonic energy and the amount of demonic energy I contained. However, I couldn’t determine exactly what was inside.

Needless to say, there are knights and wizards who simply know how to use magic power. They didn’t notice unless they saw me handling demonic energy directly.

“Isn’t he a real devil?”

So that’s why.

The other person will not be just a collaborator. Until now, the only people who have called me deceptive and false anger before I revealed it first were the devil.

“…don’t touch me like that.”

After checking the magical energy recovered in a moment, I fired the magical spears that I had created in bunches at intervals of steady and staggered shots. The rapier, which had become dizzy from striking not only my sword but also the magic spear, sharply pierced the back of the longsword’s nose. If I slide down just a little bit, my finger will be where my nose cannot cover it.

“Even though you call them lowly, it seems like you are sticking to their side.”

To prevent it from slipping and piercing my finger, I fired something closer to a bullet than a magic spear from the bottom up.

He also moved forward with his sword aside. If I am not blocked by the rapier, I can also stab the opponent. Either with a magic spear or a long sword.

That was the expectation.

The opponent’s gentle smile and white forearm knocked my sword away.

square. The whip, which must have been at work, broke itself and tore the skin of my leg along with the air. The hem of my clothes was torn and my skin was torn from how fast I was able to accelerate even in a small space.

For the sixth time, a wound that was visible even from afar was engraved on my body.

“You have a long tongue.”

“…They say weak people have long tongues.”

Fortunately, my muscles were not damaged.

I responded to the subsequent attack by taking a half step back. Thanks to the magic spear being unleashed, I was able to redirect the whip, but the sword was different. It was only after shaking the ground and breaking the balance that I was able to get out of the way.

I smiled awkwardly, realizing that I was drooling.

“Why did you betray me?”

Being pushed means being pushed. If we want to get rid of the concept of silence and high pressure, we need to collect information like this.

“If you were a knight, you would have enjoyed everything, so why did someone who is not a devil betray you?”

Oh, of course, I’m not asking the question I’m asking out of genuine curiosity.

Anyway, what help would it be for me to investigate this person’s identity or the reason for his betrayal? There would be no hidden circumstances in which the Devil Knight and Fury had joined hands in someone else’s secret rumor.

However, it is very important for someone who appears to be a normal human being to be able to guess my identity right away.

That is, assuming that from now on, regardless of whether I disguise myself or do something else, I will be able to travel around this world again in a form that is separate from the Demon Knight. If you don’t want your identity discovered, you should try to avoid encountering people like this.

“What did you promise them?”

So I continued to play with my tongue, bursting with whiplash. If I had trouble breathing, I would close my mouth, but that wasn’t the case yet, so I kept talking.

The spirit of being careful not to get caught up in digging up the other person’s secrets and forgetting the original purpose is still sharp.

“Or are you in a position where you are being exploited without receiving anything in return?”

And the other person’s eyebrows finally waved. It was a weak movement, but it was clearly agitation.

The turquoise haze that was blooming over her body began to become thicker like a flame.

“The tongue has caused many disasters since ancient times.”

“At the same time, it brought a lot of peace. Dialogue and compromise. “Isn’t it more beautiful than a fist?”

As I retorted with a genuine smile, the other person’s eyes narrowed slightly. The gentle smile was still there, but I could tell right away that he was feeling uncomfortable.

“You will regret it.”

“You know what? “It seems more real because I’m angry?”

Are you really just a prankster who works for nothing? At my word, the opponent’s sword silently gained more power. Even if you pretend to be noble, there is something wrong with you.

With my free hand, I grabbed the glasses that kept falling off due to my violent movements.

Sreuk.

The glasses are back in inventory. It was a choice I made because no one would stare at my eyes, and if they were to break, only I would lose.

“come!”

Soon the ground began to become as thin as mud.

“A horde of demons is coming!”

A ghoul that devours rotten flesh. An intestinal worm that roams the earth looking for prey. Slime, which searches for something to melt by making its acidic body soggy. When it swallows something, it vomits it out through its belly button, causing it to suffer from insatiable hunger. There are also corpse eaters, which grow maggots inside its flesh and wander around in search of corpses.

The hands of demons rose from the rotten soil that harbored hunger and drought diseases. It was the moment I had been waiting for for more efficient horsepower consumption.

“Like a bug…”

But, funny enough, the first one they caught wasn’t me.

Coughing.

[I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry.]

[Let’s eat, eat, eat.]

[Eat, eat, eat.]

“A thousand things dare.”

For the first time since I was attacked, the turquoise knight whose ankles were being attacked had a cold expression on his face.

“Know the topic.”

Quang!

A burst of turquoise energy blew away the mud and demons. “hmm.” It was at that moment that my body kicked off the ground and rushed towards her. The wounds etched all over my body vomited blood and the silver sword split the air.

“I refuse.”

The crescent moon’s slash, which had been saved until now, vertically cut the knight and the space behind the knight, including the small demons standing there.
