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

Chapter 439

Episode 439 Declare Now (12)

I unconsciously put down the food I was eating as I watched the soldiers moving around.

“What happened?”

The same goes for Baramson, who I bumped into on the street—it was a half-intentioned coincidence, as I was loitering on the side of the street where he lived just in case. The person who was chewing the bread tapped me.

I didn’t know why I did it even though I had better eyesight.

“In the North, something happens almost every day.”

“well. It doesn’t seem like things happen that often...”

“You must feel that way since you are stuck in the magic tower. “Where I am staying now, I hear the sound of ssambakjil every day.”

I think it’s just because the inn they moved to is located in a place with bad security... No, is Zakrati that safe in the first place...? All I know of Jakrati is that it is in ruins due to demons, so I am not sure about the current state of security.

“It’s funny that a former pirate is discussing security.”

Still, at least I don’t think it’s something that Baramson would say. If it weren’t for that bastard, you would have continued to pirate.

“That’s right. So do you know what’s going on?”

“I do not know.”

Anyway, since we were both unable to understand the situation, he and I just shrugged our shoulders. What’s really going on?

“The soldiers are going crazy again.”

On the other hand, the merchant who was selling boiled tomatoes on hard bread began to leisurely organize his stall. It seemed so natural at first glance that I, a guest, did not realize what his actions meant until much later.

“Are you closing down the business?”

“It looks like the soldiers are going crazy when they go crazy. So, are you going to stop? “The Heresy Questioners are already walking around with scary looks on their faces. If even the soldiers are like that, there’s no need to go far.”

Ah, that’s right. As for the Heretic Questioner, I know the situation, so I’m not really worried, but it must be scary for ordinary people who can’t hear the reason. However, there is no way they would kindly announce the reason to the citizens.

I am in a position to hear the circumstances, but I would not have kindly explained the reasons to the general public.

“...hmm.”

However, it didn’t seem like the soldiers were specifically looking for the white crow.

“I hope you get home safely.”

“I enjoyed the bread.”

“...Well, guests, please return home safely.”

I sent the merchant with a sad face away and walked towards where the soldiers were moving.

“store?”

“You never know.”

Windson followed me, giggling as he watched me. It was a very natural attitude, as if he knew it would happen.

“The demons are coming!”

“...?”

But didn’t you hear something you shouldn’t have heard right now?

“Step back...!”

“Who are you?”

I jumped into the most concentrated area first and cut down dozens of demons with my magic power. I don’t know where all these things came from, but it was fortunate that there was no higher entity.

The ground beyond the wall that was being built was soaked with the blood of demons, and their severed bodies hung like pebbles by the river.

“What the...”

“It’s not over yet, prepare for next time!”

The urgent fire here has gone out, but the other side still remains. I shouted at the dumbfounded people and jumped big. I was very fortunate that I didn’t come here right after dedicating my magic to the lab. Ample magical power firmly supported my back.

‘There are a lot.’

“Sure.”

‘But I’m in a hurry.’

“I see...”

According to the observation from the air, the demons were in a group of at least two, at most six or seven. And the gap between the groups was quite wide.

So, I don’t know if you’re asking them to fight in quantity or to destroy them individually one by one, but in any case, cutting them all down with one slash is a waste of mana. Compared to the increase in the range of the slash, the magic consumption is not arithmetical, but exponential.

“What?! What did you just say!? “Something black passed by from over there?!”

“It looks like an adventurer has arrived.”

“Oh that guy.”

In addition... even if you use slashing, if you cut down your allies, support is meaningless.

Based on that judgment, I let the magical spears rain down locally. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak! The black spears pierced the enemies like spears and then quickly disappeared.

thud.

The moment I stepped beyond the wall I was aiming for, the bodies of the demons with holes in their bodies fell to the floor with a crash.

“come!”

“...?”

By the way...

I thought of the wind hand that ran out as soon as it heard the devil’s voice and said a cursory hello before parting ways. I may be concerned about my hometown, but I am not the type of person with an overflowing sense of justice, so I thought it would have worked out well.

“...I’m worried that the same thing may have happened in other cities.”

However, as I was less worried about wind damage from being in the safe rear, my thoughts wandered to a similar but different direction. Are other cities okay?

“Well, the capabilities of the demons are not high enough to attack multiple cities at once, and even if they had really attacked, there would not have been much damage if they had taken the form of a ragtag group like here.”

I leaned against the broken wall while listening to Daniel, who, like me, was on guard at dawn. The wall, which was temporarily repaired by the surviving craftsmen, is made of logs rather than stones, so it makes a loud sound when you put your head on it.

“How about you rest instead?”

“He’s still fine.”

If I had to choose the person with the most stamina left among the people remaining in the second camp, I would have been chosen as the first hitter or thereabouts, so why bother? The three people who fought with me are still with their eyes open. They are placed in different locations, so I don’t know exactly what they do.

“They are usually free, but aren’t they quiet?”

“...It’s not wrong, but it sounds strange.”

They don’t have anything to do, so they’re just patrolling around, but since they openly say they have free time, it’s like they’re unemployed. I sheepishly scratched the back of my head at Daniel’s words and lowered my voice as if I was telling a secret.

“I’m staying awake to make an excuse for not having to study tomorrow, so don’t worry so much.”

“...If you don’t want to study, just take a day off.”

no! If you just rest, your heart will be pricked! If you want to justify yourself, you have to have a good reason!

Daniel looked like he couldn’t understand my protest. Rest is rest, work is work. He seemed like a person who could clearly distinguish between the two.

“Well, if it makes you feel at ease... I understand.”

“Thank you for your respect.”

“I haven’t done anything at all.”

Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and handed me something.

“Please eat. “It’s dried fruit.”

Daniel smiled slightly, saying he got it from Maxi.

“I guess I should thank him.”

“For him, eating well would be a way of saying thank you.”

Still, I just accepted it.

I glanced toward Ma Station while chewing the dried fruit. The sky was dim, as if the sun was about to rise.

“I’m worried it will be like this tomorrow too.”

“It won’t happen. “Even demons have a limit to their population.”

“Hmm.”

If that’s true, why did they come this way? This is so inefficient... Of course, the people who died in this incident and their bereaved families will be angry when they hear this, but um.

After repeating that death should not be judged by numbers, I started the train of thoughts again.

Why did they throw it like this even though they knew it would be more damaging to them? Was there some kind of ploy to do something that seemed so meaningless on the outside?

Purely to drain the stamina of me, the Inquisitor, and the rest of the party?

But for it to be meaningful, there had to be a follow-up hit. And that’s a follow-up attack at the level of two or more Great Devils. Don’t just stay quiet like you are now.

“What do you think these guys are thinking?”

“You mean demons? “I don’t know...”

Since Oman is the opponent, I don’t want to think of it as something that was caused solely by incompetence without any special plan. But what on earth is there to gain from this? Sacrificing a galin demon?

“To my shame, I don’t know. “As an ignorant person, I can’t see the picture the devils are drawing at all.”

Tap, tap, tap.

My fingers tapped my thighs in time with Daniel’s voice.

I feel like I know something...

“But they are not the ones to do anything foolish. Even more so now that the final battle is about to happen—”

“What if it wasn’t a foolish act or a ploy, but something that was forced upon you?”

“yes?”

I suddenly thought of a swarm of devils swarming like bees when I sprayed the scent of temptation. And the image of Nana Berserk Crusher who crushed it.

“That’s because I don’t have a choice. “What if you sent these things that should have been thrown away anyway with the intention of causing even the slightest harm to the other person?”

This is it. I felt unfounded confidence. This was it.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about...”

In any case, dead demons can be used as sacrifices. I’ve never heard of only humans being used as sacrifices.

In that case, the blood flowing here, whether human or demonic, will be used as a magic circle of arrogance. On the other hand, what if we go around the demon station and kill demons with tempting incense? Will that even be of use?

“I have to go to the rear for a while.”

Even if it is used, the demons that die from the temptation scent cannot harm us and are killed unilaterally, so it is just a loss for arrogance. So, if that’s the case... Even if there are only a small number of people who can join the road, wouldn’t it be possible to try a water ghost operation with the mindset of ‘You die, I’ll die’?

“yes?”

“I have something to ask Gye-myeong.”

No matter how much I thought about it, no other reason came to mind other than this. I stood up, feeling extremely confident in the thoughts that came to my mind.
