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

Chapter 299

Episode 299: Evidence (4)

I moved my tongue around my neck, which instantly became scratchy.

“…The Inquisitor.”

A title that seemed to have been called for the first time in a long time or had never been uttered before turned into a ball of thorns and rolled across the tongue.

[I will kill you as if it were natural. Why would the cancer warrior keep you alive?]

Did you hesitate for a moment after being pricked by those thorns? The devil responded smoothly. The mask made of goat bones is smiling without any lines.

[Not only did he destroy half the city, but he also committed a prison break.]

“…You did the former.”

[that’s right. But does it matter? The damage is too great to determine the cause and hold responsibility.]

The problem was that every word it uttered was based on the truth. Not everything is true, but it cannot be completely denied.

[Of course, the hero thought you were special. The longing for strength, the bonds built up during the journey, the trust that has dried over time, the chivalrous desire to save you… I really followed it in an unusual way.]

“….”

[But do they still exist to this day? Huh?]

I can’t think of anything to refute. Can not help it. I, too, wasn’t sure how the Inquisitor would turn out.

[The hero is immature, but he is not an idiot. He must have realized by now that the reality of strength he had longed for was actually something filled with self-loathing and abuse.]

“…He.”

[The bonds and trust we had built up during our trip were as if they completely collapsed when we escaped. Some broken pieces will remain, but I don’t know. Aren’t you too anxious to bet on that?]

“She… is the one who will try to save me until the end.”

[Oh really? Do you really think so?]

“Yes.”

No, no. I was confident that I could deduce her choice to some extent. That girl will definitely try to save me as the ‘demon knight’.

[that’s right. That kid will try to save you. But you know, Grethen.]

I’m sure he’ll try to save you.

[It was you who said that death is the only salvation.]

I’m not sure if that’s the way to save me.

That was the problem. I cannot predict how the Inquisitor’s thought circuits would have flowed while I was away.

I have no idea whether she will still suggest that I draw the future for her or whether she will accept my ‘best performance as an evil knight’.

[It’s a problem even if you act too well. Isn’t that right?]

“….”

I stiffened my fingers while holding the turbulent Ratel. Boom boom. Even at this moment, the Behemoth’s entire body is vibrating as it runs across the ground.

[But fortunately, we have no reason to be with the hero. The important thing is to endure for 9 years, not to catch Satan. Right?]

“…That’s right.”

[So, let’s just leave him alone. If you get off now and turn around, you won’t get caught by the hero. Just go into hiding again like you did for the past few weeks.]

…Oh shit. I can see why the little boy was fooled by this bastard.

I only glared at Ratel, who said something that seemed like a trap but was believable once you heard it. It felt like I was holding an apple in my hand that was bright red and ripe on the outside but rotten on the inside.

“If the reason for your hesitation is because of me.”

But before I could bite it, a voice flowed into my ear.

“Don’t do that. “You don’t have to do that.”

It was then that something silently formed on my forearm.

The boy I saw in the image world was hanging on my forearm in a form only 1/16th of his actual size.

“I was already prepared to fall into hell. “It was a long time ago when I decided to make a contract with the devil.”

“But…”

“You are kind. I really appreciate you thinking of me. But I’m really okay.”

As I raised my forearms, the boy released his arms from the hanging position and lifted himself up. The boy’s face, standing on his forearm, has a faint smile on his face.

“Please do the right thing. “This is enough for the number of people killed by this great devil.”

The apple in my hand was eventually thrown away.

* * *

Even after purifying the entire castle wall, I still had some strength left and looked beyond the demon area. Cooung. That was when the running monster bent its legs.

“Uh uhh—”

She slowly savored the form of demonic energy that was turning the monster’s brain into mush. Because the distance was far away and it happened inside the monster, there was nothing visually visible, but it wasn’t a big problem. This is thanks to the fact that the body containing divine power was able to recognize the ultimate magical energy in detail.

This allowed her to see how unpleasantly it glowed and how ravenously it burned. Devil’s Fire. No other rhetoric is needed to describe it.

“The devil, the devil has fallen….”

“The evil devil…”

However, those who could not feel anything like her were only happy about the devil’s sinking. They cheered as the monster fell as if it had died, leaving them with irreparable injuries from that great disaster.

“It’s Lord Amber…”

Or so he raised his voice, guessing why the demon had stopped.

“Sir Amber did it.”

Anyway, they saw someone who was clinging to the giant demon until the end and lighting it up. As for the reason why the devil suddenly fell, I knew who would be chosen first.

“Lord Amber did it!”

So how can we be satisfied without crying out his name?

“Lord Amber brought victory to Munmund!!”

However, their expectations will one day be betrayed. It is unknown who Lord Amber is, but at least the person they are looking for is not a vessel of the devil, so they will definitely be betrayed.

“Munmund won!!!”

As someone who knew that fact, the hero became a little devastated. Fighting. A stone fell inside her chest and began to bury her heart.

“Saennim Sannim!”

Actually, actually. I hoped we would never meet again. There was definitely something I wanted to ask you, but I still hoped that we would never have to meet again.

“What is the situation, Sannim…!”

When we meet again, we will definitely have to make a choice.

“…San.”

But fate is harsh and trials are harsh.

The warrior quietly recalled the orders of the being he supported. ?Kill those who are lost.? She, as God’s representative, reflected on the command she could not refuse.

Then the heart buried in the stone stopped beating.

“Are you really trying to kill me?”

“then?”

No, it may not have completely stopped. ?The Great Temple may be dangerous.? However, she had already ignored her starting point under the guise of ‘It can’t be helped.’

We’ve come too far to just jump up and show confusion over a single person.

“I’m Nari and no one else!”

“so?”

Because. Therefore.

She dropped another stone on top of the pile of stones that resembled a grave. The stone with the names Faith and Cause written on it was so heavy and huge that it completely hid any possible beating sounds. Now I can no longer laugh or cry.

“I am a warrior.”

ah. Will there come a time when I can regard this moment as peace and tranquility?

“So there’s nothing I can do.”

…Probably not. But you will have to endure it. Because that was the responsibility she had.

“What are you doing now!”

“Are you the one who built the wall, got rid of the bugs, and healed the people?”

The warrior looked away from the person who was angry. Instead, she looked at the person who ran in front of her, panting.

The leg that appeared to have been cut off by a demon or eaten by an insect was the first thing that caught my eye, followed by the blood-stained dark blue hair and pale cheeks.

“Thank you for your help. “If it wasn’t for you, this city wouldn’t be here…”

He bowed to her with a blank look on his face. His staggering body almost fell, but the knight standing next to him caught him. Even though his arm was broken, his skill in supporting one person with ease was quite impressive.

“If you don’t mind, could I ask for a little more help? “I know it’s shameless, but—”

“I’m sorry, but I have work to do.”

However, it is not possible to grant everything just because you ask for it half-heartedly.

The curse of hunger and thirst has already been lifted, and the dirty bugs unleashed by Eric Sikton were reduced to ashes the moment the divine power rushed in, so it is difficult to make it an immediate priority.

“Is that so….”

“So, if you have a favor to ask, please tell the other person who will come after you. “As we are here as reinforcements, we will do our best to cooperate as much as possible.”

Other than that, it would be about picking up injured soldiers and comforting residents who may have been suffering from a curse for a while. However, those two cases are not something that can be solved only if she is present. Other people can handle it too.

So, the only thing she can do right now is…

“Do you have a rope?”

She gazed at the horizon of Demon Station. Due to its gigantic size, the gap between the monsters is difficult to discern, and the monster still holds a blazing demonic energy on one side.

It is not the monster’s magic power, but rather the magic power of the being that killed the monster.

“It doesn’t have to be a rope. Do you have anything we can use to get down there?”

However, the once powerful Magi is now shrinking to nothing as if it had never been so. It is unclear whether he has run out of strength or is preparing to flee.

“…Why is that?”

“If there isn’t one, that’s fine.”

If it’s the former, I’m glad, but if it’s the latter, I can’t wait to see it. We have to get there before that demon runs away. Even if as a result, you end up facing someone you want to see but don’t want to see.

The warrior lowered his eyelids, half hoping that the demonic energy would disappear right away, and half hoping it wouldn’t. The look in the eyes of someone who could not bear to join in on the conversation was very harsh.

“You’re coming at the right time.”

“…?”

But even if you don’t understand, there’s nothing you can do.

She pointed to those who, instead of herself, who ran without looking back to stop the great devil, were running to clean up the castle – such as repairing the castle gate that had been broken to enter the castle or dealing with the lesser devils trying to enter through the castle gate.

“Inquisitor Daniel.”

Of course, the first one to climb up the wall was someone as impatient as her.

“…yes.”

Did he also recognize that flame? A voice that was quieter than usual looked directly at her. There is no need to tell what is burning inside his eyes.

“Please turn back.”

But he is weak and therefore not qualified to go there.

“Please cooperate fully with this person.”

“…yes.”

“Hey San!”

The warrior entrusted the rest of the work to him. The person who had not participated in the conversation and only kept his eyes wide open slowly opened his lips.

“I’m off to deal with the devil.”

“Are you kidding me? “That thing over there isn’t the devil—!”

“Please stop.”

“…What kind of devil are you?”

She threw the shield outside the castle walls, whether or not the navy blue haired person was confused by Inquisitor Daniel’s statement that he was a devil regardless of whether he suppressed the Deathbringer or not. thud. A huge shield crushed the corpses of demons and shook the ground.

“You fucking think I’m going to leave that behind?!”

I can throw the shield like this, but what should I do with her body? Should I just jump? However, if you run about 20 meters wearing armor, you will definitely be shocked.

“…! Wait a minute, brother—!”

“I’m not your brother!”

Since there may be additional battles, I want to prevent the consumption of divine power as much as possible.

While she was thinking about this, someone who was much lighter than her jumped down the castle wall. The skill of beating the Heretic Questioner and running through the collapsed area was truly worthy of a back alley loser.

“Don’t go.”

However, we cannot let him go as is. She lamented that she had to use divine power in the end, and trapped the Deathbringer with a wall of divine power that she created.

“Crazy San! Let go! “Let go!”

“Interrogator Daniel, please.”

Still, thanks to that guy, I knew the way down. Just like the Deathbringer, she stepped through the collapsed wall into a demonic area for the first time in her life. The faint demonic energy she felt under her feet was truly disgusting.

“Are you confident that you won’t regret killing Nari? You idiot!!”

But not as much as what she will have to do in the future.

She picked up the dropped shield and headed towards her destination.

The flame that completely melted the monster’s brain remained in the same place, turning into ash without running away or leaving somewhere.
