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

Episode 362 Even if I can’t see with my right eye (3),

will I be able to arrive in time? Is it even possible to go there in the first place?

Despair was rising every moment as I took a step forward. It felt as muddy and sticky as a swamp.

Clang.

It is said that even clouds containing heavy snow shine brightly at the edges. As the saying goes, a new option was given to her who seemed to have no way forward.

Hmm.

“…a hope secured by death, which is equivalent to failure.”

There was really no need to hesitate.

“There is no need for a ticket to go to Alsvidr.”

ah. For my sister, who was so quick that death touched her first.

Berserk threw himself across the night sky. The only goal was to be the brightest star in the world.

* * *

Taddat!

I once again flew into the sky using the tentacles as a stepping stone. And the moment the monster’s eyes caught sight of the corner of my vision, I forcibly increased my magic power. phut! The magical power that followed the hand gesture turned into sparks, grew into flames, and was transferred to the monster’s eyes.

Wow!

Oh, this seems like a bit of a blow. I prepared to fall, using the monster’s screams as the basis for my judgment.

Too doo doo!

“…!!”

However, at that point when my body had not descended less than 2 meters, hundreds of mouths flew at me like vines through the flames. It was too thin for me to step on it and run, and hundreds of pieces were flying in bunches to fight back, so I couldn’t easily think of a way to deal with it.

“It’s not some kind of disaster god…!”

It feels like if I touch that thing, a bruise-like curse will be engraved on my entire body. So you should avoid it. But how? How can I do that in the air, where Erutalc’s presence is still on the ground and there is no platform for me to use?

「Gretchen strikes…!」

‘…!’

Oh, it was possible, right?

──!

A flame that swallows up even sound appears brightly in the world. As soon as the light reached the eyes, it was a flame that disappeared as soon as it cut out part of the world, even after the fire had died down without any remnants.

“…after.”

This skill is all good, but it consumes a lot of mana.

I went down with peace of mind, seeing that my remaining horsepower was noticeably reduced, even though I exerted it much more locally than last time.

Easy profit!

“…?!”

It was a bit of an early relief. Another bundle of tentacles flew towards me, as if to fill the space of the tentacles that had been deleted. It was a scene where the meaning of using a flash attack had disappeared.

“You crazy…!”

Even if I was prepared to lose half of my horsepower, should I have included the main body in the range? How do I avoid them before that? Are you going to attack me again? But isn’t it stupid to write something even after seeing it?

“…Wizard!”

After racking my brain, I screamed out the answer. The longsword in my hand instantly turned into white slime. What is important is how this will change afterward.

Awesome! The white rope with a loop at the end flew towards Erutalc thanks to my strength.

Boom!

My body narrowly escaped the bundle of tentacles and was pulled to the ground. If the rope had reached Erutalc a little later, or if Erutalc had hesitated even for a beat while pulling the rope, I would have been swallowed by the tentacles.

“Was I an idiot who couldn’t do anything on his own?”

“You talk like you can handle that on your own.”

I held Erutalc’s outstretched hand and lightly went down to the ground. Perhaps to lessen the shock, Erutalc gently rotated and turned me over to the other side, but it was better for me.

The feet slipped on the snow, the knees were bent to maintain balance, and the outstretched hands gathered magical energy and shot forward.

The magic energy that flew past Erutalc’s head and behind it, which had turned away from the monster to help me, created a flame in the air. It was a flame that stopped the flying bundle of tentacles.

“It is an inefficient and irrational use.”

“If you don’t like my operating methods, I’ll at least teach you.”

Of course, those flames alone cannot completely stop them. As soon as the sound of the explosion reached our ears, we ran in one direction. It wasn’t something that was coordinated, it was purely a coincidence.

Squeak, quack, quack!

Behind us, bundles of tentacles began to stick to the floor one by one, like spear blades.

Wow!

While I was reviewing ways to combat the snail, I retrieved a long rope-like ratel. The rope that was recovered like a tape measure took on the shape of a sword again.

Chaechaeng!

At the same time, tentacles came forward. As my blade slices away the first tentacle, it is Erutalc’s job to seep in from the square. We flapped the hem of our cloak and naturally covered the direction we were assigned to take.

‘…As expected, it feels oddly familiar.’

“but. “Isn’t that person dead…?”

‘You wouldn’t know that.’

I flicked out a few tentacles and glanced at the extremely elegant Geomro. It was also familiar.

Sneak

“…!”

Suddenly, when our bodies were on the left side of the monster, a huge shadow appeared over our heads. It was a shadow so large that I couldn’t escape it even if I ran as hard as I could.

“I apologize in advance.”

“What—”

It can’t be avoided. As soon as I made an instinctive decision, I stopped Erutalc and pushed him into my arms as if hugging him. Even though he was taller than average, I was very fortunate that he was a head shorter than me.

Erutalc briefly expressed his refusal as if he was shocked, but then complied. It seems like he realized that he was in no position to refuse, and it was a very quick realization.

Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

In any case, the waterfall of tentacles overtook us. More precisely, on top of the Ratel that covered us in the shape of a spiral blade.

“I’m going to turn!”

I injected magic power as soon as the bundle of tentacles touched Ratel. Then the blade-shaped ratel rotated 360 degrees and began tearing the tentacles to pieces.

It was the moment when a kind of game of chicken began. A game of chicken where the bundle of tentacles will finish first or my magic power will run out first.

Let’s go!

But doesn’t this type of skill usually stop in seconds? Why is the pressure growing more and more?

While expressing my bewilderment, I paid as much attention to Ratel’s rotation as possible. If the rotation of the ratel was blocked or the ratel could not bear the weight and broke, it would have been a real disaster and there was nothing we could do.

A drop of cold sweat ran down my neck as my body forgot about the cold.

“It’s getting narrower.”

Oh, that’s it. If the ratel seems to be about to break, the status quo is maintained by making one more layer on the inside and giving up on the top layer.

“If you know, I hope you will find a way.”

“If you can’t go above ground, you have to go underground.”

Clap!

The person who stabbed and exploded the tentacle that came through the gap between the ground and Ratel spoke softly. I was a little tired of his nonchalance, but I thought the words themselves were quite fascinating.

“That might be possible.”

Some strength went away from my shoulders, which had been pushed to their limits due to tension.

“Can’t that pass through the earth?”

“Because the masses overlap.”

“There is a possibility that they will dig in like we did.”

“You wouldn’t know it if you were seeing it with your own eyes, but an unintelligent mouth wouldn’t do that.”

For that reason, it’s worth giving it a try with real expectations.

I put the white slime into the ground. What appears to be absorbed is actually just seeping in through the cracks and crevices inside.

Hilarious.

Part of Ratel, which gradually pushed away the dirt and ice, soon lifted part of the ground. Since we had to fill the space we were in with dirt and have people enter the empty space, neither of us would end up in the basement.

It just moves sequentially like a block escape game.

“good.”

“Sure.”

Erutalc didn’t show any hesitation at the suggestion and went into the hole first. New dirt is now being pushed up where he was.

Kwakagagak!

However, at this point, the blade that tears the tentacles into pieces is at its limit.

I quickly pushed myself into the hole and let the dirt cover the hole as I retrieved Ratel. thud! At the last moment when Ratel was covering the hole where we had disappeared, I saw tentacles pouring down to where we were.

thud!

“…I put out the fire in a hurry.”

I clenched my fists as I felt the presence of a ceiling blocked by Ratel and a bunch of tentacles pounding on the ground above the ceiling. The reason is that I am worried that the tentacle might turn like water like Ratel and seep inside.

“So what is that efficient method?”

Should we move a little further inward? Wouldn’t it be better to make a path in the other direction? Or will the attacks stop soon?

I organized the options I could take in this situation in the back of my mind. Meanwhile, my eyes are catching a glimpse of Erutalc.

“…Are you seriously asking this?”

“That’s right. Or was that comment from earlier a criticism, not a criticism?”

Oh what. Was it just grumpiness rather than healthy feedback?

Feeling drained, I twisted the last part of my speech without realizing it. It was only after speaking that I thought to myself, ‘Doesn’t that sound too sarcastic?’

“…a flame is a secondary result of a combustion reaction. Additionally, complete combustion may seem unconventional and overwhelming, but it is not efficient. “Because death does not necessarily mean there is no ash left behind.”

But this time it was a good thing. No matter how much I think about it, the other person will hear me say, ‘Are you really?’ or ‘You don’t even know that?’ It seems like it was accepted at the same level… Anyway.

“And the characteristic of the combustion reaction is that it grows gradually. “If you think about that, your garbage efficiency will also improve a little.”

“Hmm.”

Still, thanks to you, I think I’m getting the hang of it. It’s a bit confusing because it’s a very scientific explanation, but it’s something you can try once and if it doesn’t work, you can try again.

“Let’s go out first.”

After realizing that the presence of vibrations coming from above had completely disappeared, I transformed Ratel’s form. Ratel, whose ceiling rises in the shape of a cone, turns the ground over and creates a path for us to exit.

The clear sky, where the bundle of tentacles was no longer visible, welcomed my steps.

visor!

I will correct it. The guy who thought we were dead and retracted his tentacles urgently attacked us again. The rising ratel deflected and cut it off, giving us time to move.

“hmm.”

good. Then, shall we take a test at this time?

I ran across the snowy field again and measured the distance between the monster’s snout and me. The guy sticking out of the hole more than before is only chasing me with his eighteen disgusting pupils.

“therefore.”

It’s a bit burdensome, but it’s still easy to attack because aggro is drawn. I felt Erutalc moving away from me and concentrated my magic.

“Like this… like this?”

Rather than increasing the scale blindly, set several ignition points… Trying to burn everything is a waste of energy, so I feel like it will only lead to death or cause pain… Hmm, is this right?

“Oh, this is it.”

“…!”

[…What a wonderful talent.]

After correcting even the parts that were slightly bothersome, I unleashed my magic. It was a bit different from an explosion; if you were to be specific, it felt like dozens of flints hitting each other from all directions.

“…Nonsense.”

As a result, sparks flew out in dozens of places and began to burn the tentacles. It was not a flame that consumed the tentacle itself, but a flame that burned the inside of the tentacle and flowed down the outside.

However, it was not true that the firepower was weak. Although it may have been weak at first, the flame gradually expanded its scope, but as soon as it met other flames, it mixed in with them and grew in size. As a result, a larger firework was born at the same time.

“You—”

Wow. This definitely consumes less magic power. It’s also much more effective.

I attempted a second attack, acknowledging that Erutalk had the qualities of an instructor. Since the tentacles were ultimately just the extremities of the limbs, they decided to attack the true body in earnest.

Kyaaaaa!

“…!”

However, before I could inflict an effective blow on the true body, its wolf-like muzzle opened wide and roared. With just the sound waves, the snow field turned over, scattering snowflakes in all directions.

Slurp!

Also, a black fog began to creep through it. The specks of space were evident. Tick tick! A large claw protruded from the gap between the snout and the crack and began to widen the crack further.

“Like a bug…”

Oh, please at least give me the summoning pattern. Isn’t it too unscrupulous to bring out these tough, hard-to-kill guys in a boss battle?

“Hold on your own, wizard.”

“That’s a new emphasis.”

However, if you look back at the fights that have been fought so far, you will find that those with a conscience are rare. I just gave up on arguing. It was better to deal even 1 second faster than wasting time with such actions.

[But you…]

But there was only one thing I hadn’t thought about in that part.

[Wouldn’t it be faster to run away to another world than burn it all with my flames?] The

fact that the mass of that thing was equivalent to that of a planet, in other words, meant that the blood barrel was so bad that it was a waste of money.
