I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 157

◈ 157. [Side Story] Box Cracker (5)

“What a nightmare. You can quietly lend me your strength, or… … It might eat you.”

“… !”

Frightened, I quickly opened the system window and checked the information on Damian’s equipment. no way!

[Black Queen (SSR) Lv.55]

– Classification: Horse Gun

– Attack power: 225-250

– Durability: 7/7

– Ammo amount: 7/7

– Shoots a cursed bullet to instantly kill an enemy with a certain probability. Probability increases with weapon proficiency.

– ??? (Open according to the number of enemies defeated with this weapon) < Forward 3 >

– ??? ( Opens according to the number of enemies killed with this weapon)

… .”

These question mark options seem to be related to that ‘nightmare’, but fortunately, they haven’t been opened yet, probably because of the lack of kill counts.

‘I just thought there were more options attached, but these question marks meant that!’

Black Queen I have to stop using this after only using it three more times.

I’ll have to decide how to use it after seeing the options open up.

‘If I didn’t know, something big could have happened to Damian.’

Again, in the game, the equipment group called Nightmare Slayer did not exist.

I never thought it would be a weapon with such a risk.

Somehow, I thought it was overbalanced to write at this point, so I thought I’d hide this demerit… … .

Kelly Bay smiled at me as I gritted my teeth in agony.

“So you’re not going to make it?”

“yes?”

“Selendion’s magic core. Are you going to leave it alone without making the equipment?”

“… .”

no.

It can’t be.

“Please make it.”

The Black Queen is a balance breaker powerful enough to change the war situation.

If it’s a weapon of the same class as this, you should think about it after making it.

At least, it is a business that remains unconditionally even if you use it until the question mark option is released.

“Yes, yes. Good idea.”

Kelly Bay grinned and tapped Selendion’s magic core with her hand.

“You must not be dominated by weapons. You must be able to wield your weapon. If you don’t have that capacity, you can’t even handle the Nightmare Slayer in the first place.”

“That word… ?”

“If you’ve been good at dealing with the Nightmare Slayer for a while, it means you’ve fed enough blood and can handle it well after the nightmare awakens.”

“… .”

“bantling. Original weapons are dangerous. How can it not be dangerous when the blade runs and fires to take a life? The Nightmare Slayer is just a little more dangerous than powerful. As an analogy, to the extent that the blade is attached to one more side?”

You don’t think waking up from a nightmare is just a demerit.

Instead of increasing the risk, the power rather increases… … Maybe we can look forward to this case.

“It’s been a long chat. So… … What kind of weapon should I make with this magic core?”

It was decided from the beginning.

After killing the Black Spider Queen, Damian was given a weapon made from the Black Spider Queen’s magic core.

Then, of course, the weapon made from Selendion’s magic core should be given to the person who killed Selendion.

‘Junior.’

I spoke to Kelly Bay while repeating the name of the wizard who played the most in the battle against Selendion.

“I need wizard equipment.”

***

For now, I decided to do only that request for equipment production from Kelly Bay and keep the rest of the magic core for a while.

Because it was a weapon made with Selendion’s magic core, Kelly Bay shut herself up in the blacksmith’s smithy, saying that she had many things to think about.

Just make something good.

late at night on the same day my room.

Changed into a nightgown, I sat still on the bed.

Fifteen boxes lined up in front of me.

5 R ratings. 7 SR ratings. And 3 SSR ratings.

In the game, if you eat 10 of them during one playthrough, three of the SSR-rated boxes, which are said to have eaten a lot, popped up at once.

But I still haven’t been able to open these boxes even after three days have passed since the stage ended.

It’s not that there’s any great reason.

These boxes didn’t look like trophies obtained by simply killing monsters.

It was like a memento left by dead comrades. The faces of the dead seemed to shimmer in each box.

I didn’t have the courage to open up. So it was delayed until the very end.

“… Whoa.”

However, if this is really a memento left by colleagues, then you should open it and check the contents.

It is a major that they have built up with their lives.

Isn’t it impossible to just hit dust in the corner of the inventory?

I clenched my fists and began to open the boxes one by one.

First, five R ratings.

I carefully and carefully opened the box one by one.

Potions and R-rank magic cores came out of the R-rank box, and I organized them in my inventory one by one.

The following are seven SR grade reward boxes.

There are as many as 7 boxes with a guaranteed minimum SR rating. I carefully opened the boxes one by one this time.

Flash! Flash-!

And the result

[Rewards]

– Standard Supreme Magic Core (SR)

– Standard Supreme Magic Core (SR)

– Secret Dawn Top (SR)

– Secret Dawn Bottoms (SR)

– Secret Dawn Gloves (SR)

– Secret Dawn’s Boots (SR)

– from scratch! (SSR)

Something popped up a lot.

“Holly shh?! what?!”

Embarrassed, I unknowingly spat out curse words. no what?!

There are two SR-grade magic cores, and the other five are completely finished. Besides, one is SSR. What the… ?!

‘Chi calm down.’

I first checked the pile of clothes and gloves and boots on the bed.

Let’s check the options, really. One of the best equipment for the melee assassin class is the [Secret Dawn] set!

It is a set of pantries consisting of upper and lower gloves and shoes.

Each piece of equipment is not bad, but the set effect is very good.

> Set Effect: Secret Dawn (4/4)

– When all sets are equipped, you completely escape detection for 10 seconds each time you kill an enemy. (This effect only activates once every 10 minutes)

In the game, it was automatic stealth every time you kill an enemy once every 3 turns.

Cut one guy, stealth, hide and wait, and after 3 turns, swipe another guy… … I used to repeat it endlessly.

‘But this is not a complete part, but four parts fall as a set at once? What the hell is this?’

I looked at the equipment in my hand, frowning.

Come to think of it, the scream sets kept coming out one by one before, so I ended up collecting them all.

Is there some kind of system calibration that collects set items?

‘Something… It’s rather suspicious because it comes out all at once.’

… Still, since I came out thinking that good things are good, I should write them.

The problem is that my party has no melee dealers, let alone assassins.

If Dion was alive, he might have worn it, but it’s meaningless.

“Ugh. Who should write… … .”

After thinking about it, I decided to give it to Damian.

As a sniper in the last row, the set option doesn’t mean much, but if you are being targeted by enemies, you can use this option to secure a retreat.

It would be nice to think about getting an insurance policy.

Fold clothes, gloves and boots neatly and put them aside. I saw what came next.

[Start again! (SSR)]

It’s a golden metal plate the size of my upper body.

It is also a familiar item. No, it’s not an item… … It is an aqueous artifact.

“The odds of this being a finished artifact from the box must be filthy low.”

Artifacts are much more expensive than the equipment worn by the character in terms of unit price alone.

Thank you for coming out of the box.

This artifact has the effect of its name.

Enemies reflected on this metal plate are forcibly teleported to the southern field far away from the starting point of the wave – that is, the crossroads wall.

< Defend the Empire > is a defense game.

The goal is to stop the monsters from attacking the walls and trying to overcome them.

It can be said to be a very good artifact because it can blow the monsters that have been approaching hard while being beaten by the fire net from this side back to the starting point of the wave. It’s not SSR grade for nothing.

‘The downside was clear, so I didn’t bother to use it when playing games… … .’

First of all, the enemies reflected on the metal plate, so I could only blow out about 10 at most. In addition, it can be used once per defense battle.

This alone is not a bad effect, but the problem is the production cost. SSR-class water-based artifacts are worth calling.

After all, it’s an artifact that only buys time, not defeating enemies, but it was difficult to afford the astronomical production cost.

If you’re still in hell, this game is filthy tight.

But that’s only if I pay for it and produce it. If you give it away, I will be infinitely grateful. You will find it useful.

‘Thank you thank you… .’

Bowing in the air for no reason, I calmly placed this water-based artifact next to it.

Next is the last three SSR grade boxes. Today, it can be said that it is the main game of the box.

I quietly opened it, but I didn’t think it was polite for the Tsar box. I opened it with a small cry.

“Did you finish it?!”

Flash!

A dazzling golden glow emanated from within the box. what happened?!

And what came out of the box… … What a huge piece of cloth it was.

“Eh? What else is this?”

[Great Commander’s Flag Piece] (1/5)

– One of the 5 pieces of [The Great Commander’s Flag (EX)] exclusive equipment for character ‘Ash’.

– When all five pieces are collected, one flag is completed.

“… ?”

I didn’t understand the situation for a second, so I blinked slowly. What do you mean?

therefore… It’s my own device. It’s now divided into 5 parts, so one piece came out… … ?

Tring!

Then, a system window popped up in front of me.

[Exclusive Equipment Production Quest: Character ‘Ash’]

– Collect the Great Commander’s Flag Fragments. (1/5)

“… .”

no wait. fuck wait a minute

It’s nice to know that I have a special equipment.

It’s not bad that the production quest popped up. But what? piece? Sculpture Farming?

“You’re telling me to eat all of this with luck from the reward box?!”

Four more times? Four more floats from a crate? Are you kidding me guys? How do you get all this luck together?!

Since most exclusive equipment is intertwined with the character’s story narrative, it is common to have a clear farming location.

However, Ash Kim, this idiot character, is a game where even that should be done with luck.

‘It seems like there will be a system calibration like the set item has been out in the meantime… … .’

After sharpening his teeth, he put the flag piece into his inventory. Hey, let’s think about opening the rest of the boxes.

I opened the second SSR grade box at once.

“Did you finish it?!”

Flash!

What came out of the box with the gold was… … It was a black cloak with a luxurious sheen.

“oh?!”

Does it look useful? what!

[Invisibility Cloak (SSR) Lv.1]

– Classification: Auxiliary equipment

– Defense: 0

– Durability: 3/3

– Enter Lv.3 stealth when equipped without being detected by enemies.

– Stealth can be destroyed by higher detection magic, sixth sense, etc.

– The attention of all enemies within a 15m radius is focused on stealth destruction.

“What is this again… ?”

It is the first equipment I know it’s that invisibility cloak that has appeared in every famous fantasy… … I guess

After reading the description, it doesn’t seem to be used in a combat situation. Did you give it to me to use in normal times?

After thinking about it, I took care of it.

I could give Damien a [Secret Dawn] set and turn him into a stealth character, but I think it would be better for me to try out items with high variables like this first.

“It’s okay, it’s the end!”

Finely fold the invisibility cloak and put it in my inventory.

I opened the last box. Sir! Give me something really good this time!

“please-!”

Flash!

And what came out of the box with the golden light… It was a smooth, beautiful and large longsword.

[Karma Eater (SSR)]

Involuntarily, I screamed out loud.

“It’s up!”
