I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 238

A few hours ago

that cannot be erased .

Barracks in downtown Crossroads. Reina’s room.

“The procedure is almost over.”

Reina, who finished the magic treatment on Junior, stood up while wiping her hands.

“How are you?”

“How are you sleeping… … I’m still dying… … .”

Junior changed his clothes with a pale complexion.

“I overworked myself last time, so my magic furnace is still boiling… Ugh.”

“It’s tough.”

Reina swung her hand and hit Junior’s bare back.

Junior crushes! He let out a grotesque scream and flinched.

“Why are you hitting me! To sick patients!”

“Your magic furnace hurts, doesn’t it mean your back hurts?”

I heard that it was true, but it was unfair because it was true.

Reina smiled at Junior, who rolled her eyes in displeasure.

“Remember. This procedure is not a panacea. In the future, discomfort will decrease and life expectancy will increase, but the scars of magical power engraved in the heart are difficult to cure.”

Junior kept his mouth shut and placed his hand on his left chest. Rayna continued.

“You will suffer from aftereffects for the rest of your life and your life will be shorter than others.”

“I’m not swearing, right now… ?”

“What’s better than before? right?”

It was certainly as Rayna said.

Originally, it was a life that would die in the next few years.

Every time I used magic, I would vomit blood, and I would stay up all night burning herbs like cigarettes because my stomach hurt so much.

If I overdo it, it still hurts like this, and I wake up suddenly feeling the pain in the middle of the night. Obviously better than before. It was thanks to Reina who helped with the procedure.

‘so… why?’

Why did this woman help herself so much?

Junior made some guesses on his own, but Reina didn’t give an answer until the end. They just say things like ‘good is good’… … .

“I will return to the ecliptic after the next defensive battle.”

When Junior got dressed and stood up, Raina suddenly invited him.

“Are you thinking of going with me?”

“yes?”

“Announce your achievements in magic directly to the Ivory Tower, go into the Magic Tower and do some research… Don’t you think it would be fun?”

Junior’s head went blank for an instant at the suggestion he hadn’t even thought of.

Researching magic in the imperial ecliptic, the center of world magic… … .

It was a dazzlingly sweet proposal for a junior who had been learning magic all his life.

“… .”

however. Junior shook his head without thinking for a long time.

“Here, the monster frontline is where I was treated as a wizard for the first time. Mom too… … He gave his life here.”

“hmm.”

“I may leave one day, but not yet. I couldn’t repay all the favors I received from His Highness the Prince.”

“okay? It’s a pity.”

Reina didn’t bother to suggest more. He just smiles and shrugs his shoulders.

“Then you won’t be able to receive this restorative treatment or valuable teaching after a few days. Wouldn’t it be nice to hang out with this lady more often?”

“How can it fit more than this… ?”

“Let’s have lunch together and go to a cafe and chat. I have something to tell you about your magic.”

“I’m not feeling well… .”

“Would you be able to heal an injury with magical power by lying in bed and sleeping? If you eat, drink and rest comfortably, you will get better, so don’t talk nonsense and follow me.”

Having made a unilateral declaration, Reina put on her coat while humming a song.

Junior raised both hands. Anyway, this old wizard does what he likes. And this is the position that received treatment… … .

‘Looks like I’m being dragged around today too.’

Junior followed Raina, and Raina cheerfully took the lead and opened the door.

Kiik-

“Hmm?”

and.

In front of the door stood a middle-aged man whom he had never seen before.

It was a man with dark brown hair that hung down like seaweed. A gloomy light dwells in the eyes locked in melancholy.

“Sir Reina.”

Man- Camus, a mercenary newly hired by Crossroads, opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while. Do you remember me?”

Reina, who blinked in embarrassment for a moment, scratched the back of her head.

“This is because as I get older, my memory doesn’t get better… Excuse me, but who are you?”

“It is normal not to recognize. Didn’t your Imperial Magic Corps specialize in long-range firefights?”

Camus grinned.

“You wouldn’t have had a chance to see the victim’s face.”

“… ?”

Reina, noticing that the other person had something strange, took a quick look around.

“… !”

And found.

The sight of his subordinates, who should have been standing guard in front of his door, lying on the other side of the hallway, splattering blood.

Camus introduced himself slowly but clearly.

“I am a man who lost his wife and children to you 15 years ago.”

Sreung!

A thick longsword was pulled from the scabbard worn around Camus’ waist.

At the same time, Reina jumped backwards and reached out her hand.

Tuhak-!

A strong wind bullet fired from Reina’s fingertips.

It wasn’t something to brag about, but it was an anti-personnel magic that killed so many enemies that it was hard to even count the kill count if it was a close range enemy.

Reina thought that the man in front of her would also be subdued with a splash of blood.

however.

Zeng-!

has disappeared.

As Camus swung his sword, the bullets of wind fired by Reina disappeared as if they were being sucked in.

At the same time, one of the runes engraved on the blade of Camus’s longsword flickered white. Reina’s eyes widened.

‘That weapon is probably a Spell-Drinker… … ?!’

A sword that absorbs magic.

Where did you get these ancient artifacts from… … .

Taat!

The next moment, Camus kicked off the ground and rushed in front of Reina. have shortened the distance

Raina hurriedly casts wind magic and fired it, but all of them were absorbed by Camus’ sword and disappeared. A look of bewilderment crossed Rayna’s face.

‘Damn this is dangerous-‘

Reina hurriedly gathered her magic and put a barrier in front of her body.

hook-!

Camus’s longsword tore through the shield at once and pierced Rayna’s abdomen with momentum.

“big… black?!”

“I trained all my life to end you mages.”

Camus spat out coldly in Reina’s ear, who was coughing up blood.

“I don’t give distance and I don’t give time. Then, no matter how great the magician, they put me through my sword like this.”

Reina, who was pouring blood from her mouth, raised her trembling eyes and glared at Camus.

“You you… Who are you? why me… … .”

“Do you remember Camilla Kingdom?”

Camus snorted.

“It is a small northern country that your empire trampled on 15 years ago. I was a soldier for that country.”

Reina’s eyes widened.

Camilla Kingdom. can i forget

Jupiter, Raina and Junior. It was in that country that the fates of the three wizards diverged.

“In the war that trampled that small country, you Imperial Magic Corps burned the people of my country regardless of age or gender. They burned civilians to death in the name of eradicating guerrillas.”

“… !”

“My wife and children lived in one of the villages you guys wiped out with magic. The whole village was reduced to ashes and I couldn’t even find the body.”

Camus murmured coldly as he pushed the longsword he had stabbed deeper into it.

“You didn’t think of dying comfortably after doing such a thing, sir Reina, commander of the magic corps?”

“Keugh… !”

“Feel at least a fraction of the pain my country and my family suffered and die.”

Pooh-!

Camus kicked Reina in the chest with his foot and pulled out the longsword, then raised the longsword upwards.

He was just about to cut Reina’s neck.

Flash!

Then lightning struck.

Camus reflexively rolled to the side and raised his longsword.

The thunderbolt magic was absorbed by Camus’ long sword, and one of the runes engraved on the long sword glowed and then faded.

Camus’ cold eyes glared at the opponent who fired the thunderbolt magic.

Junior was raising his staff with a pale complexion.

“Stop! right now!”

“Are you a magician too? Then you will die too.”

“No, I am from Camilla Kingdom too! I am in sync with you! So calm down and stop for now!”

A vague puzzlement crossed Camus’ face.

“Are you from Camilla Kingdom?”

“is it so. And I am also a victim of magic bombardment.”

Junior rolled up his sleeve and showed his left arm. The burns from the magical bombardment were clearly visible.

“I fully understand how you feel. So calm down a bit… … .”

“I’m a survivor of the magic bombing from Camilla Kingdom, so why are you covering that woman?”

Camus asked with an incomprehensible face.

“That woman, Reina, and her magic corps… … The Everblack Empire! trampled on our country Even innocent civilians were slaughtered with magic bombing. Even though you are the person involved, why are you calmly hanging out with them?”

“That is… .”

Junior lost his words for a moment and stammered.

“that… I am… .”

Suddenly, childhood nightmares flashed through my mind.

The day lightning and tornadoes swept through a small town. The day when everyone in the village was killed in droves. The charred corpses of people and the roar and screams. The burning smell… … .

“… .”

Not knowing what to do, Junior looked at him blindly, while Camus just stared at the young wizard.

It was then.

Tuhak! Tuhak-!

Reina, who was lying on the ground holding onto the pierced stomach, shot wind from her hand with ferocious eyes.

Camus quickly swung his longsword and absorbed all the magic, but each time the light of the runes engraved on the longsword faded one by one.

Eventually, when all the runes were extinguished, Camus’s longsword could no longer absorb magic.

Pew-!

Unable to block the ensuing wind magic, Camus’ body floated in the air and crashed into the opposite wall.

Camus wrinkled his lips and smiled bitterly.

“Damn it… I sold my eyes… … I gave away the distance and the time… … !”

pop! Perbung! Kudangtangtang!

Wind magic poured in succession completely subdued him.

“Ha ha ha ha… !”

Squeezing out the last of her strength to crush Camus, Reyna gasped for breath before collapsing, coughing up blood.

Junior, who finally came to his senses, hurriedly took out the potion and poured it on Reina’s wound, shouting outward as hard as he could.

“Help me too! Someone is hurt here! hurry-!”

***

Current.

“oh my… .”

After hearing the news from Ader, I pressed my aching forehead with my fingertips.

Camus, a newly selected SR-class warrior character, was stabbed, and Reina, her subordinates, and Junior, who were attacked, were transported to the temple.

“Sir Reina was seriously injured and underwent surgery, but she is currently struggling between life and death. The four soldiers under my command were also seriously injured.”

“What about Junior?”

“Fortunately, you weren’t hurt, but… He seemed to be struggling mentally. He is currently resting in the hospital room.”

“… .”

I squeezed my brows tighter and let out slowly.

“What about Camus?”

“I am detained in prison. All armaments have been disarmed and restrained.”

I turned around and asked Lucas.

“If you intentionally wield a weapon and cause injury to a friend, what kind of punishment will you receive under military law?”

“It will depend on the severity of the injury, but if the case is serious, the death penalty will be imposed.”

Lucas replied in a stern voice.

“In addition, Sir Reina, who was attacked this time, is the commander-in-chief of the magic corps directly under the imperial family. If you swung your sword with the intention of killing such a person… It will be difficult to avoid the death penalty.”

“… .”

Whoa.

I let out a short sigh and stood up.

“Let’s go to jail first.”

It was the first time that allies tried to kill each other in my camp.

I felt the need to know why.

“I need to talk to Camus about why he did this.”
