How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

7. Should it collapse like this?

[I will become a strong paladin and go find the old man!]

Diaz recalled what he had said.

Her eyes widened greatly.

It was the most agitation I had since I met her.

The girl I had seen for the past few days was just trudging around with half-dead eyes.

“Unbelievable……”

But after hearing my words, the look in Diaz’s eyes changed.

As if a person who had lost his goal in life found another one.

‘Uh…… The reaction is bigger than I thought?’

Of course, what I said now was not a complete lie.

Actually, in playing the demo version, I saved her several times.

There was an ending in which you died if you couldn’t save it in time, but I completely beat the strange Diaz rescue quest.

The biggest reason was that I didn’t want to see a child die, even if it was a game.

Of course, the memory of that time remained well in my head.

Even so, her reaction was stronger than expected.

‘but. According to the story of the original story, I became a mercenary with a big heartache here.’

Leanoa’s death was a major event that completely changed the course of Diaz’s life.

Perhaps he lost himself in the profession of a paladin any more, and felt irritated.

However, just before leaving the place, I appeared and brought up the story of that time.

I was the reason I became a paladin.

I looked at her and smiled.

For the first time since coming to this world.

“You’ve become a strong paladin. Really.”

It wasn’t a fake smile.

I was sincere.

I, too, had been bummed out until recently.

How many years ago was that?

To be honest, even at the point of pretending to know her name, it was my intention to commit it first and attach a reason later.

Surprisingly, the memory came to me when I saw it in real life.

Strangely, her childhood face remained in my memory as if it were a real thing.

Just like what I actually went through.

so he laughed

It’s amazing that such a small child has grown so strong and well.

It’s amazing that he survived without dying.

Diaz nodded.

“Yes. I really worked hard. A paladin…”

She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

“But…… I don’t know anymore. I felt so incompetent. After all, even after becoming a paladin, I couldn’t protect it.”

It must be Leanoa.

Looking at her who lost her energy, I asked again.

“Do I look incompetent too?”

“Yes? No. I never thought of that. Rohan-sama is not even Sir Andrew…”

“At that time. In that village. Most of them died. Do I look incompetent for not saving them?”

In the demo version, I tried again and again to try to save others as well.

However, because it was originally designed that way, I only saw the same result in the end.

Others just ended there… I guess I was strangely obsessed with it.

Even though I knew in the back of my heart that this couldn’t be the case.

Eventually I gave up too.

Because I accepted that it wasn’t.

“What is not possible is not possible, and what is past is past. How long are you planning to be buried there?”

“……”

“And. Did Leanoa hand over the power to you to be so heartbroken?”

At my words, Diaz raised his head.

Her eyes were round.

“Uh, how could that be…I didn’t even tell the parish headmaster…”

Oops.

You’ve been keeping it a secret

I briefly flinched and moved on.

“Well…there is a way to know.”

“I guess. Rohan-sama has been the same since then until now… It’s not easy for me to understand.”

Diaz, who took care of it.

Thanks to you, I don’t have to tell useless lies.

“Rohan.”

She called out to me with her slightly refreshed eyes.

“Am I qualified yet? Qualified to raise a sword and face the devil?”

there is every

If you grow a little more with that unique skill, most demons will just become cotyledons that can be shredded and shredded in one blow.

tell me what to do

Instead of a long explanation, I replaced it with a short nod.

In this case, it was more effective to be concise rather than talkative.

I knew how to behave like that because there were years when I was caught off guard while living in a company.

And Diaz’s face lit up when he saw my nod.

“Well then, trust Rohan-sama…”

before she finished speaking.

I reached out and covered her mouth.

“Shh.”

Diaz even stopped breathing and remained still.

I frowned and listened to my hearing.

OK.

Minor vibrations and noises flowed in.

Something… it seemed to be advancing.

I got up quickly and opened the window.

Then he smelled the demon approaching.

* * *

A sudden battle was taking place at the northern gate of Straun Abbey.

“Devils!”

“You bastards! How dare you say this place!”

“Go away!”

A horde of ghouls suddenly attacked in the dark.

Fortunately, the well-trained Paladins of Straun Monastery were not easily swept away and began to respond.

Whoop whoop!

Wake up the monastery by sounding the trumpet.

The Paladins, who realized that this was a real situation, immediately jumped out from all over the place while preparing for battle.

one……

“Keew!”

“Kuruk!”

“Kyaaa!”

The ghouls pushed forward without fear of death.

The Paladins who raised their holy power were doing a good job, but it was harder than I thought to stop the countless ghouls.

“Push in!”

“If it breaks through, it’s over! Hold on!”

“Aagh! Par, my arm was ripped off…gagging!”

The moment the defense line started to shake little by little.

“Let’s go. Shouldn’t Straun collapse like this?”

A voice was heard, soft and majestic.

“President!”

“Please step back, vicar! You must preserve yourself!”

“That’s right!”

However, the parish priest of Heint shook his head.

“Did you forget? All the priests of this Parish of Straun are all…… Paladins! I am still a Paladin too.”

Bishop Heint pulled out the sword he was wearing at his side.

OK.

A light like the sun came out.

“Kurrrrrr!”

“Kyaaa!”

“Kreuk! Kreuk!”

An intense light that swallows up all the surrounding darkness.

At that, the ghouls screamed like beasts.

However, it was difficult to approach, and he seemed to hesitate.

Directly behind the Bishop of Heint, with Monted.

Andrew, a member of the Seven Knights, also appeared.

“I was just about to go to sleep.

He slung his new sword over his shoulder, rubbed his eyes, and sighed.

and the next moment.

fit.

I thought it was disappearing, but wasn’t it wielding a sword in the middle of a group of ghouls!

His slashing was different from a normal swordsman.

Every time it is swung, a smoky shot rises up.

pop! Puffup!

Explosions erupted with each bell.

This was Andrew’s unique skill, Heat Wave Slash.

“Ohhh! Knight of the Heat Wave!”

“Hahaha! Yes, wipe it out!”

“As expected……even if he doesn’t usually look useless, his swordsmanship is outstanding.”

The paladins also worked hand-to-hand to Andrew’s efforts to break through the path.

As the situation reversed, some of the Paladins threw a joke.

“I’ll remember all my swearing!”

Andrew nodded and raised a corner of his mouth.

Since they had been together under Monted when they were young, this kind of connection was possible.

Seeing them like that, Monted shouted something.

“Still in battle! Stay focused!”

“Yes!”

“I know!”

Straun paladins gathered in an instant.

Their forces began to push back the ghoul army.

One, as always.

Everything didn’t work out as expected.

At someone’s call, the situation began to change rapidly.

“Hey, Hellfire Buster! It’s Hellfire Buster!”

Intermediate Demon, Hellfire Buster.

Its huge body, reaching 5m, was exposed in the moonlight among the trees.

They crawled slowly on six legs like bugs, and they were demons that fired chunks of hellfire from their mouths.

Pew……!

“Oh, it’s coming! Dodge!”

“Damn it!”

“aaa!”

The Hellfire, which was fired in a parabolic arc, attacked the Holy Knight camp.

Roaring!

The flames of hell burned all around and produced terrible smoke.

“Ouch! aaagh!”

“Keew!”

“Crook!”

Hellfire burned all the genital cases, whether it was a ghoul or a ghoul, without distinguishing between friends and family.

It never turns off until it stops moving.

But the ghouls weren’t afraid of it.

That was the problem.

In the end, the hordes of ghouls and the fires of hell broke down the paladin’s defenses.

“Kyaaagh!”

“Kurrrrr!”

The advance of the ghouls began again.

* * *

The gap, once collapsed, began to expand its scope without hesitation.

The brow of the Bishop of Heint furrowed.

‘If we continue like this, everyone will die.’

He usually only smiles, but when he frowns, a more frightening face appears than he thought.

This is what he looked like when he was a heretic judge in the past.

The expression that had been withdrawn from the front lines for a long time and thought to have disappeared now crept up again.

That’s why this line was in a very dangerous state right now.

The Paladins, swept away by the Hellfire, perished without leaving even their bones.

Even those in the vicinity were not safe.

Those who touched even the smallest ember rolled on the floor, writhing in the blast barrel.

“aaagh!”

“Say, save me… No, kill me…”

“Don’t talk bullsh*t! Get your mind right!”

The battlefield was truly an abysmal battle.

Bishop Heint was fed up with his incompetence.

Of course, his swordsmanship was shining even at this moment.

not fit your age.

He was swinging a greatsword wrapped in light and cutting through the ghouls.

But it was just there.

They did not have the strength to revive those who had already died, and could not rescue the wounded.

All you can do is protect those who still remain.

“Bring the surviving wounded behind me! I’ll lead the line again with me in the vanguard! Start with first aid behind me!”

“Yes, yes!”

“Oh, I see!”

The Paladins began to move in unison.

However, they also knew.

That I can’t last long like this.

I just believed and followed the parishioner’s words.

Even in the meantime, the white clothes of the parish head of Heint were stained more and more red with the dark red blood of the ghouls.

Monted followed him by his side.

“Director! I’ll help!”

“Yes. Hurry up and get these damn ghouls…”

That moment.

I heard Andrew, who was far away, shouting urgently.

“Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!”

Bishop Heint stopped talking.

No, it would be more accurate to say that he did not forget the words.

It was the same with Monted.

Hearing Andrew’s voice, he turned his head to see that the second Hellfire had already arrived.

Monted murmured lowly.

“Ha. sh*t…”

Bishop Heint didn’t just swear out of his mouth either.

I felt the same way.

There was no way to stop that fireball from hell… anymore.

Even if he threw himself away, he wanted to protect the paladins standing behind him.

That too was impossible.

It was really incompetent.

A kaleidoscope passed through his mind.

‘Is this the end… is it…’

The time when I slowly closed my eyes to accept reality and face death.

Awesome!

I heard an incomprehensible sound, and the hellfire split left and right right in front of my eyes.

Bishop Heint seemed to be getting goosebumps.

A person’s back could be seen in the center of the flame of the Hellfire, which split left and right.

“Ro, Sir Rohan?…”

It was Rohan, a knight of the new Seven Knights.
