I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 227
◈ 227. [STAGE 9] The arrow that left the protest (3)
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
Above Jormungandr’s head.
Mounted on the body of a vibrating snake, we are desperately trying to break the last nerve center.
“Give me a little more!”
“I almost broke it! A little more somehow… … !”
Everyone is on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion due to the operation carried out for the past three days, but they are holding on to the destruction of the nerve center somehow.
That’s because it’s really over now.
“Kuh… !”
right in front… … You can see the castle wall.
Looking at the wall that was only a few tens of meters away, I bit my molars.
‘Fucking, fucking, fucking!’
For the last hour we did our best.
With the assistance of other wizards, Junior used [Dismantle Elements], and Reina put all her energy into the nerve center where her magic defense had been cut off, and inserted the wind magic bombardment with all her might.
Kelly Bay repaired and strengthened the drill and pickaxe even in the midst of this dire situation, and those who still had the strength to move put an attack into their nerve center one more time.
But the last 1 percent.
All the hardening buffs were covered, and this last tick was not being shaved.
‘I feel like my physical resistance is 95%. Magic defense can’t even be measured. It seems to be at a level where there is virtually no interference… … .’
Even in such a fucking state, it could have been broken if there was enough time.
The problem is that these fucking werewolf pups took our time away.
pop! Beep!
Quguaguagwang-!
On top of the castle walls, they are shooting shells at random. In order to somehow delay the advance of the snake even for a second.
I know it’s no use, but sometimes the explosions fall all around us and it’s dangerous. left it alone now i have to do something
‘How long until we reach the wall?’
I estimated the distance between the wall and Jormungand.
When Jormungandr breaks through the walls, tramples on the city, and begins to ‘devour civilization’, everything he has done so far will be in vain.
I grabbed the pickaxe again with my skin-skinned, bloody hand.
I have to stop before that… … !
that buck that buck
It was then.
Someone came next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I glanced around. what?
“… cotton… ?”
It was an unknown person who came and stood next to me.
what why? Can’t you see I’m busy? You can help break it down too!
“Leave your teammates behind you, Ash.”
“what?”
“I will take over from here on.”
Sureung:
A white light slowly began to shine on the old, rusty sword that Moo-myeong had drawn.
I blinked. Didn’t this guy say he couldn’t use his power outside the Lake Kingdom?
“It is the responsibility of the Lake Kingdom that the Nightmare invaded the Lake Kingdom and that the nightmare leaked out.”
Anonymous smiled bitterly, holding the sword with both hands and placing it in front of his chest.
“As a person of the Lake Kingdom, I will take responsibility and stop Jormungandr.”
Quaaaaaa-!
A terrifying light emanated from the nameless body and began to gather on the sword.
Of course, I am ignorant of ancient magic, but I knew it right away.
That’s the art of burning one’s own life.
“What are you doing, nameless?! Are you thinking of dying?”
“If you use this much power outside the Lake Kingdom… I will probably die here.”
Ignorance spat out calmly and made the sword of light even bigger.
Wow!
“But if I die, I can defend your city and everyone on it.”
“what… .”
“Isn’t that a bad exchange?”
I hesitated.
… To be honest, I thought so.
If you can defeat Jormungand at the cost of someone’s life, that’s a reasonable exchange.
In the first place, the battlefield where dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people die is the monster front here.
But it… … .
Is it right?
“I have lived a long time, Ash. death is not afraid If that death is to erase the faults of the Lake Kingdom, I’m even happy.”
Through the gray hair blowing in the wind, she suddenly saw her eyes.
“I just have a request.”
The first time we met, her eyes were the color of a clear, deep lake.
“Don’t give up exploring the Lake Kingdom. Let the light continue to shine in the darkness.”
“… .”
“I’m asking because I can trust you.”
I nodded slowly. Anonymous nodded vaguely and raised his sword upwards.
‘Are you going to strike down Jormungandr’s head with the sword of light?!’
I screamed at the party members who were working on destroying parts until the end.
“Everybody evacuate! Get out of here immediately!”
The party members who turned around were frightened when they saw the huge sword of light raised by Nameless. I hurriedly swung my arms.
“No time! Jump under Jormungandr’s body! right now!”
The party members immediately stopped destroying the parts and jumped to the left and right of Jormungandr’s body with hooks.
After checking the safety of the escaped party members with my eyesight, I saw an unknown.
Anonymous was pouring sweat like rain to complete the sword of light.
With this, Crossroads survives once more.
The world stays alive… … .
“… !”
That moment.
I had a strong feeling of foreboding.
– Clear this world and lead it to the true ending.
The reason why I was called to this world and am going through this hardship.
The self-proclaimed director Ader and his bastard talked about the existence of the ‘true ending’.
In order to go to the true ending, the conditions that need to be cleared are
snappy!
“Stop, Nameless!”
… There must be a nameless survival.
I grabbed the nameless shoulder and dried it urgently. Anonymous looked at me with surprised eyes.
There was no clear reason. It was just my feeling. But it was a feeling close to certainty.
The true ending that I never reached while clearing this game 742 times.
And while playing this game 742 times, the princess of the lake kingdom, Moo-myeong, whom I had never met before.
These two are related.
You can’t let nameless die here.
“But there is no other way, Ash!”
“… .”
I gently bit my lower lip.
As the nameless said
In this situation, the only way to stop Jormungandr is to deliver the final blow.
Isn’t it more important to prevent an immediate game over than the possibility of a true ending?
But if I give up on the true ending, wouldn’t everything up until now be in vain?
‘What the hell? What should I do!’
Strategy always distinguishes between ‘negotiable’ and ‘non-negotiable’.
What should I throw away?
who should i kill?
In an instant, I closed my eyes tightly.
what am i for… … Do I have to repeat this choice again?
It was then.
sparkle.
A streak of light shimmered over his closed eyelids. I suddenly opened my eyes.
sparkle. sparkle. sparkle.
A light shone from the side of the gate. i saw that
‘… Damien?’
Damian stood upright in the center of the open gate.
With a signal lantern in hand. shining light on me
‘It’s sending signals through light… … ?’
Memories of Stage 3 flashed through my mind.
When he left for the Margrave’s villa to rescue Evangeline. I asked Damian for sniping support.
At that time, as a means of exchanging signals with each other, the castle lit up and I used a blue flame torch.
sparkle. sparkle. sparkle.
The signal that Damien sent me lights up three times.
It means ‘this is fine’.
In other words,
‘Sniper support ready!’
I saw Damian’s sly smile.
Even though she is definitely wearing the [Black Queen] on her back, the Dark Aura from before is not visible.
did you overcome it?
I didn’t trust you and even detained you?
“Damian in this crazy world!”
This pretty baby boy!
“Down the sword, nameless! Swallow your life force back!”
I slapped Nameless on the back and ran forward. The bewildered nameless broke down.
“Come back Ash! If you stay there, you won’t be able to lower my sword!”
“You don’t have to take a picture! Will you pick up the sword? Trust me!”
Not exactly me… … Trust my sniper! Because this is the best cheat character in the game!
Bewildered, I left behind the nameless retracting the sword of light and ran, standing next to Jormungandr’s cranial nerve center.
After taking out the blue flame torch from the inventory, he drew a large circle.
Shoot Damian.
“Right here-!”
***
Poof-
Damian threw the lantern aside and grabbed the horse gun with both hands.
“Looks good, Prince.”
I saw Ash eagerly waving his torch. There is also a snake’s protrusion that rises like a horn beside it.
Damian, who was kneeling on one knee, held the butt of the horse gun and aligned his eyes with the gun line and the sight.
“With the most firepower possible.”
Damian whispered softly into the horse gun.
clap clap clap… … !
Then, the pure white horse gun emitted magical light and began to transform.
The barrel split into left and right sides to form two rails extending straight forward.
At the same time, the magazine containing the magic bullets disintegrated.
The seven magic bullets that came out of the magazine chased each other’s tails and spun in the air, then merged into one large magic bullet and was fixed in the air between the rails.
Chichi Chichi Jijijik!
The barrel was cracked and the magazine disassembled, revealing the magic core.
Magic energy bounced like an electric current from the pure white incandescent magic core, supplying magic power to the rail.
coo coo coo… … !
Now Jormungandr is literally right in front of you.
The monster’s breath almost touched Damian’s face. But Damian was aiming until the end.
It was because it seemed that not only part destruction, but also deeper ‘something’ could be seen.
‘It’s fine if it’s just for a moment, so if you stop… … !’
Then Ash took out a dagger from his bosom and
boom!
I took a picture of the snake’s head.
It was [Spirit Crasher], a one-time dagger that forcibly stuns the target.
Because Jormungandr’s magic stat was so high, the time it took to stun was literally just an instant.
“ah.”
It was more than enough time for Damian.
“I saw it.”
Damian’s finger pulled the trigger.
Tuquaaaang-!
The magic bullet was fired with a lightning-like light.
The pure white magic bullet immediately flew into Jormungandr’s head nerve center and pierced it.
The layered hardening buffs and Jormungand’s innate magical defense power formed like a transparent barrier in the air in an instant, blocking the magic bullets.
Chaeng-Grang-!
but useless.
The magic bullet, which laughably tore through the defense, pierced the nerve center where only the last ray of stamina remained and shattered it.
Jormungandr’s massive body immediately froze in place.
But it didn’t end there.
The moment when Jormungandr’s defense was lowered due to the completion of the destruction of the nerve center.
Matan did not miss that moment.
Fuck!
The magic bullet bent its trajectory like a living creature and burrowed into the back of Jormungandr’s neck with the same momentum that destroyed the nerve center –
2-quake-quake-quap-!
started penetrating.
The inside of Jormungandr’s body.
The magic bullet spread out, tearing the body of a huge snake that stretched out in a straight line from the inside.
It pierced through the mighty bones, organs, flesh, and skin of the creatures of the Age of Mythology as if there was no resistance.
Five hearts too.
As for the nine spirit cores.
I was accidentally penetrated.
Creeper?!
The first thing that sounded like a scream erupted from the giant snake’s mouth.
At the end of that long and long one-point penetration-
Pooh!
It was only after crawling out with the tip of the giant snake’s tail that the magic bullet lost its strength and disappeared in the air.
In fact, it was pierced in a straight line from the head to the tail of the snake.
Kreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Jormungandr raised his huge head and let out a long, terrifying scream, then
koo-gu-gung… !
hit his head on the ground
And it didn’t move.
Whii-i-i-
The battlefield was enveloped in silence.
Ash, who escaped to the floor in the arms of an unknown amidst the dust that the snake stirred and scattered everywhere, murmured softly.
“… No, he just told me to defeat him.”
It was a happy, but nonsensical voice.
“I’m going to kill this… ?”
