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

Episode 290: Understandable (6)

Grumble.

I quietly pulled out my sword with my blood-covered body. The sword, which looks like a wood fire with black magic and amber sparks mixed together, is still burning.

dump.

In the meantime, the person who was completely knocked down by the drawn sword made a squishy sound. The body lying among the mud is dirty and yet white and thus foreign.

The red blooming on one side of the heart looked like a flower.

‘It’s a pretty good sword for something made by humans.’

Oh, it’s really tough.

I looked around, vowing never to fight a knight again. The battlefield was paused for a moment due to the demonic energy that had just been unleashed—released?—magic energy.

I don’t know why it suddenly stopped. I think it might be in the same vein as what I tried in that forest a few days ago.

For example, I was scared when I realized that a higher level demon had appeared.

The actual appearance in sight also supported the speculation. No matter how I look at it, the way it shrinks and bows its head every time my gaze moves is that of a weak person who is overwhelmed.

Some of them seem to be weighing whether or not to run away by hesitantly pulling their feet back.

‘Shall I burn it?’

However, measuring the angle of escape and actually running away are two completely different things.

I saw things torn between me and the monster standing tall behind me. They are only watching us and are not ready to take action. They’ve stopped attacking humans, but they’re not stopping on the battlefield itself.

In other words, we have to use extra efforts to exclude them from this battlefield. I’m not sure how much more force I have to use to drive them out.

‘Will that bug bastard be able to make it impossible for the army to escape without being bitten?’

In fact, even if you chase after everything, it’s still a problem.

Regardless of good and evil, considering only my own profit and loss, it was better for them to remain a little bit rather than leave completely. It wasn’t that I wanted this city to continue to be in danger, but that there was a possibility that the real evil knight would wipe his mouth and pretend not to notice.

There are many cases in the world where people are asked to hand over a bundle after rescuing a drowning person.

‘If you allow me, I can erase all the things that are interfering with this board.’

therefore.

It can be solved if I step in, but it is a bit threatening to the city, but it doesn’t attack right away.

To put it bluntly, I hope the devil stays a little bit so that I can be in a situation where I have a negotiating advantage.

I know it’s a very selfish wish, but still.

“That’s a violation of the contract.”

“Oh, where on earth is it a violation?”

“I’m going to use my strength now….”

‘Why are you giving it to me for free? If it was going to come out like this in the first place, they should have stopped what just intervened.’

“…That and this are different.”

‘Well, I don’t see any difference at all. Is it a bad thing to bring victory with good intentions and clear away trouble with good intentions?’

“I’d rather believe that he’s a person who kills people with a smile than believe that you act with good intentions!”

But it must be difficult, right? okay. How could something like that happen?

‘Ahahaha! Ahahaha!! Yes, that’s right. That’s right, that’s true. ‘If I act with good intentions, something like that can’t happen!’

It wouldn’t be the world if it only worked to benefit the individual…

‘But that’s why you’re going to refuse? They say I will take care of those things that could threaten your city. They say they will burn everything without any compensation. So, are you going to refuse?’

「…!」

‘You don’t want to do that, do you?’

I raised my blood-covered hands and covered my face. My whole body, which had been cut by a sword, ruptured by a whip, and eaten by insects, finally started throbbing. Even with the adjusted pain sensation level, I couldn’t even imagine how much it would actually hurt. I don’t really want to imagine it.

‘So shut up, kid. ‘Don’t act like you’re worried about that person anymore because you chose the latter between the person you got caught up in and the hometown you love.’

“…!”

Instead, I saw letters floating between my hands.

[Take out the phone]

[Let’s clean up the area]

[You don’t want to interrupt the conversation either]

No… Can I express that in letters? It penetrated my brain like a voice and was engraved in my ears like a text.

[It may not be enough to kill the pig in front of you]

[If you burn everything around you]

[It will give you enough time to hear the truth]

I wasn’t surprised by that strange phenomenon. . Cancer: When will I be surprised by this when I find out that there is something other than me living in this body?

And… when I think about how this scarlet sword was sucked into my hand just now and the magical energy suddenly released against my will, the identity of the being I’m talking about is clear.

[You invested so much in this, but you don’t want it to end without being heard, right?]

Perhaps because the truth has finally been laid out, those damn bastards who were just watching bystanders have finally started to intervene.

[Don’t worry]

[I won’t touch the city]

The only thing that annoys me is the way he speaks, as if (laughter) is going to follow.

I was able to tell him that the person who was talking through the system window and the person who was talking now were separate entities. Going a little further, we distinguished between true devil knights and devils based on fairness and fairness.

[ What are you doing? ]

[ Come on, get it out ]

[ I’ll help you]

It doesn’t seem like the system window that even apologized is the devil, so the one who got the polite advice must be the devil.

“Oh, I guess you have a tongue. “You avoided conversation so much that I thought you were a piece of dog food with no tongue, no ears, and no talking head.”

[ …. ]

But if you think about it, the real reason the devil knight summoned me here was because of this devil. So isn’t he ultimately the biggest culprit of this shitty situation? Sibalom is laughing so hard and is so damn good.

I trembled with my hands in front of the fragments of the enemy I finally encountered. The letters were silent for a moment and then continued again.

[Then should I go out? ]

“It’s very transparent how you live your life when you threaten me if I don’t suit up. If you’re going to ask me to take it out again, shouldn’t I tell you what it is that I’m going to take out? Ratel, if you just say that, how should I know? Or is it because you live like a parasitic parasite on someone else’s body and end up using words that only you know?”

[You speak very politely]

“Thank you for the compliment. You really can’t speak dirty words. “If you see that you can’t even use a space.”

It’s been a while since I made fun of Agari, so I feel relieved and I still feel angry.

I heard some harsh words and looked at the string of silence again and organized what I wanted to say to that bastard. The moment we met face to face, there were so many things I wanted to say.

[Yes two hands]

[Take it out]

There are so many, I don’t know if I can spit them all out.

My stomach is boiling just now, but if I see its face directly, I’ll be even more upset.

[You spread demonic energy while swinging the sword]

But you can’t ignore the instructions. The devil and the real devil knight are still shit, but the people behind me are innocent.

[Remember]

I put the amber sword upside down on the ground and stretched out my empty hand in the air. A two-hender was created in the empty space between the fingers. The grip I had become accustomed to over the past year soon filled the palm of my hand.

Grumbling. The black flame attached to my body flowed into Twohender.

[Even if the magic energy is ahead of the sword]

[The sword cannot be faster than the magic energy]

[The sword and the magic energy must be swung at the same time]

The words that come into my ears have a somewhat abstract aspect. I don’t know what to do.

[It will be burned as much as the magi spread]

But I definitely understand the backstory. You can also specify a range, right? good. I quite like that.

I held the sword tightly with both hands.

“What is the concentration?”

[Three times as much as what was used in Nega Forest. ]

“good.”

I think it will be okay if I just shake off all the maggi I have.

I swung my sword.

* * *

He was so thirsty that he died trying to drink the blood of demons, and because he couldn’t stand his hunger, he bit the people around him without regard for blood and was eaten himself.

While chasing away the flies, moths and maggots that covered his entire body, he collapses with his internal organs eaten away. Sometimes, you scratch your body from the pestilence they bring, only to rot and crumble.

In a scene of madness where it would be a shame to have one’s body torn, melted, or cut by the devil, Günther shouts, ‘Clang!’ I heard something like a metallic sound.

The sight of the sword of the person confronting the traitor being broken appeared in his vision as if by chance.

“Oh no—” The sighting of

the rattling

itself was probably an accident. It must have been a coincidence that I happened to see the scene beyond at that moment in that busy scene.

However, it was inevitable that the pumpkin sword that the traitor had thrown away got caught on his foot, and it was clearly fate that he was able to throw Bernstein without being hindered by the devil.

“Attaya!!”

The sword, which would have originally fallen about 3 to 4 meters in front of the castle wall, was caught by a black line and was sucked into the place where it was intended to be delivered.

“Lord Xiaocheng!”

Karrrrrrrrrrr!

Just the moment until the sword was delivered to the spot. In that moment, Gunter had to pay the price for ignoring everything. The demon with his back turned its claws at him. It should have been so.

Cooung.

In an instant, the weight of the air changed, and the claw that should have touched my neck stopped just a sheet of paper.

[Run away, run away, run away.]

Kyaaaaaak!

[Anger came, anger came, anger came.]

It wasn’t just that one animal. The demons that had partially taken over the castle wall began to scream and retreat.

“The devils retreat!”

The soldiers were dazed and attacked with spears, but there was little resistance. They threw themselves down the walls and crawled on the floor like a flock of frightened rats.

“Ah…”

It was at that time that the sword containing a trace of dawn was momentarily stained with night and returned to the time of dawn.

Jet-black sparks flew like ash, and the scarlet sword body, shining so brightly that it hurt my eyes, burned like a torch. It was a flame that pierced the traitor’s heart.

“It’s the Pumpkin Knight…”

“It’s Lord Amber…”

“Sir Amber is back…!”

The surviving soldiers turned their attention to that vivid light. As long as the demons retreated, there was no reason for the action to stop.

Those who remembered the scarlet flame shed tears, while those who did not remembered sang to God.

“Ah, the devil… the devil…”

“God, we are…”

The situation was similar for the priest who received the power of God. While they agonized over the culmination of the contradictions they had witnessed, they also looked at the hope that had come.

“God, why are you subjecting us to this ordeal?…”

The bishop, whose arm had been torn off by the devil, muttered with tears streaming down his face.

“Bishop.”

“…Lord Xiaoseong.”

“People…”

Günther stopped talking and glanced at the top of the castle wall. The number of trained soldiers has been reduced by 1/3, and even among those, most of them are wounded.

“Please heal people.”

“…there is not a large amount of divine power available.”

If we cure them all, the priests will no longer be able to use their power. In other words, if you have to face demons before they recover, you cannot borrow the power of God.

“…I don’t think that is the enemy.”

We cannot keep in check those who stand outside.

“Is it because you resemble Lord Amber or Lord Amber’s son-in-law?”

“…no. “I just am.”

“Lord Xiaoseong….”

“…I know. Damn, I know I shouldn’t make decisions based on vague beliefs. “I know this is a gamble, but… it doesn’t mean you can win without saving the soldiers.”

But is there any point in keeping it in check?

“If I save my strength now, can I beat that, Bishop?”

Günter raised the bishop’s body as he watched a part of the world silently evaporate. Even for a brief moment, it was clearly visible that the army of evil that they had endured to death was disappearing without leaving a single ashes behind.

It was a sight that was accomplished in one go.

“This is not an emotional judgment. This is a decision I made after thinking about it. So, Bishop, let’s just… save the soldiers.”

“…yes.”

Günter gave strength to his shaking legs as he watched the bishop laughing helplessly. Now it was time to climb the castle wall.

“Uh huh!”

“…?!”

Suddenly, something like a bone erupted from outside the castle walls.

* * *

I closed my eyes, watching the two-hender melt into a white slime that bubbled up into a protective cocoon for me.

The possible attack was completely blocked with this—if what the devil bastard said was true—now it was time to have a proper conversation.

My vision was pitch black and the fall began.

[Hello, Gretchen.]

「….」

And when the fall ended, I was finally able to see the beings who had dragged me here.

[Is this your first time seeing your face properly?]

「…I’m sorry.」

A person wearing a goat’s skull like a mask and a boy with gray hair full of tears were standing in a red and white world.
