I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 329
◈ 329. [Free Exploration] Declaration of the Empire (4)
Since I am immune to mental abnormalities with the effect of [Indomitable Commander], the succubus corps cannot demonstrate their combat power against me at all.
So the succubus corps used the method of enchanting the troll corps to fight instead.
This time, as if he had been thinking in his own way, he came wearing equipment that converts his mana into physical force.
Somehow I find a way to keep fighting. I commend you for your constant effort.
“But just because it’s so doesn’t mean they can beat us physically.”
Whiiying –
Along with the desolate wind, the appearance of the Dream Demon Corps collapsed in front of the fortress was revealed.
The dreamers were annihilated.
This time, I beat it cleanly and turned it into porridge. I can say with confidence. These bastards are now irreversible.
“why… ?”
Salome, who had fallen miserably in the middle of them, muttered in a sorrowful voice.
“I just want to get to know you, Ash… Why are you rejecting me to this
extent?”
I growled ferociously.
“No, before that, I am a human and you are a monster. Are you saying that we are meant to be friendly and nabal, and that we are beings who have to fight and kill each other from birth?”
《Let’s break that prejudice and have cultural exchanges between different species! do you know Will we ever understand each other?”
“Cultural exchange? what culture?”
“that… Mutual understanding through the exchange of love culture… … ?”
I jerked up my wand with an annoyed face, and Salome hurriedly ran her pink hair through her hair.
“hey! Honestly, isn’t it pretty good for me?! I’m not proud, but no, I’m proud! There has never been a man who failed to seduce me except you!”
“… .”
“Besides, this time I dressed very carefully! After surveying human men’s favorite outfits in a dark dream, I chose and wore the one with the highest preference among them
! Is it like a swimsuit?
Salome chanted incantations such as “Be enchanted~ Be bewitched by me~” and danced sluggishly and stiffly.
I clicked my tongue in disbelief. Anyway, I don’t know that being a monster is a shame… … ! Eh!
Evangeline, who was watching from behind, blew a whistle.
“Wow, honestly, if I were a man, I would have passed on it out of courtesy.”
“I’m glad you’re a woman.”
While the words were out, I looked at the reactions of the other party members.
Damian covered his eyes with both hands, and Lucas covered his eyes with a tin helmet turned 180 degrees. boys… … .
“Mmmm.”
Junior is looking at Salome with an extremely serious face. what’s the matter?
“No, I thought it might be possible… .”
“What’s possible, what’s possible, Tsarya?!”
“Oh no! I don’t mean that!”
Junior, whose face was red, hurriedly waved his hands.
“I thought it would be ‘possible’ to capture that succubus and uncover the principles of enchantment magic now, when mental abnormalities are nullified!”
“Ah, that’s what it meant.”
Anyway, the opponent is a dream. Seduction is his specialty. Let us all beware of statements that can be misunderstood.
Taking a deep breath, I crossed my arms and opened my mouth.
“Hey Salome. Suppose a frog is crawling naked in front of you. Can you see that and think it’s naughty?”
“uh… ? Frogs don’t normally wear clothes, right?”
“Isn’t it? That’s it.”
Salome just tilted her head, as if she didn’t understand.
I yelled and pointed at Salome.
“To me, you or a frog, that’s it!”
Try to seduce me naked for a hundred days and a thousand days! You son of a bitch! Am I passing!
Then, tears welled up in Salome’s big eyes.
《No matter how much it is compared to a frog, it’s too much!》
You hit the frog well too, you bastard. Still, frogs have a cute side. It also plays a beneficial role in catching and eating pests such as flies.
I held out my staff to create magic blades, and I coldly let out.
“Hey Salome. As a last mercy before I kill, I will tell you. I will not be tempted by you no matter what, even if you are in the form of a human and not a frog.”
《What what? why? How can you make such a conclusion!”
“That’s because I’ve been fooled a lot by people who are normal on the ‘outside’. I’ve been trained to the point where I can’t go over it anymore.”
My job on Earth was as a game streamer, an internet broadcaster.
What does this mean?
It means that throughout the broadcast, he was entangled with perverts of unknown gender from Netkama, the malicious viewers.
A viewer who spent half a year of tender voice donation using a voice changer program found out that he was a man.
Even the cute female guild member, whom I had been friends with while chatting with oppa since the game’s open beta, turned out to be a man.
Dressed up in pretty avatars, merging new games together, and proceeding with We Got Married content, Vtuber also turns out to be a man!
And vice versa!
The high-ranking viewer who sponsored a large amount of money as a successful businessman turned out to be a middle school girl who used to swipe her parents’ card
! woman who used to!
He said he was the successor to my army, so I entrusted him with the manager of a chat room, and he built a reputation with it and became independent as a personal broadcaster and succeeded. I met her because I was going to buy a meal, and she! It turns out that my successor’s sister sold my brother’s name! He was my sasaeng fan!
They’re all scammers! All these bastards are scammers!
During the years of internet broadcasting, I met, fished, and trained too many human groups who were completely different from the outside.
In other words, no matter how beautiful your skin is, you cannot be tempted as long as I know that the essence of you is a monster.
“No matter how beautiful you are, what do you do if you seduce me with your sweet voice? You don’t have your real heart there. There is no reason to move my real heart.”
What do you do if you are pretty on the outside! Your identity is a monster!
Chunk! Chunk!
The barrels of the automatic defense turrets aimed at Salome in unison. This time, I’ll turn you into a handful of blood, monster!
Salome, who was looking at me blankly, said
“… iced coffee. Now I understand.”
He suddenly smiled brightly and put his hands together in front of his chest.
“Those things I have easily seduced with enchantment magic are not real hearts. So no matter how much I tried, my insides were empty like this.”
“… ?”
“No matter how much I wish, I can’t get my hands on it, so this is what I crave more… It must have been your real heart.]
What bullshit are you talking about?
I thought it was a will before I died and activated the automatic defense turret.
“launch-!”
Do-do-do-do!
A beam of light flashed from the muzzle, followed by dozens of magic bullets fired at the succubus queen.
《Ash.》
In front of the pouring magic bullets, Salome smiled broadly.
“Let it go. No matter how much you push me away, I won’t give up on you. because… !]
Kwagwagwang-!
Magic bullets swept across the area and a thick smoke explosion occurred.
After a while, the smoke cleared, and the seat where Salome had been was empty.
Lucas, who rewrote the tin helmet 540 degrees, asked puzzled.
“Unfortunate… Will it?”
“no. Just like the last time, it seems that he used [Escape from Reality], an escape device exclusive to the Dream Demon Corps.”
It is one of the most powerful skills in this game. I ran away this way last time too.
Instead, Salome did not escape unscathed. [Escape from reality] is as expensive as its powerful performance.
There is something called ‘corporate resources’ in the monster corps. The production resources given to each corps are managed by the corps commander.
These resources can be used to replenish or upgrade lost legionnaires.
[Escape from reality] used by Salome is an incredibly high-cost skill that eats up the army’s resources.
In the meantime, every time I met, my subordinate dreamers were killed in droves, and I used the escape skill twice, which devours the resources of the corps, so there must be few resources left.
With all of their subordinates and resources running out, it would be more correct to say that the Dream Demon Corps were practically incapable of recovering.
“No matter what, I had three kill chances, but how come all of them escaped, oh… .”
Should I say that this succubus queen’s ability to survive is good?
I put my hand on my aching forehead.
‘Well, let’s think positively.’
I got a lot from this free exploration.
He made the Dream Demon Corps incapacitated.
Captured the elite monster Hawkbear Assassin.
The corps commander of the harpy army that was about to invade Crossroads was killed in advance.
In a single campaign, he dealt fatal damage to 3 monster corps. It can be said that it is a very good achievement.
And above all.
[Victory before occupation!]
This is important!
A system message appeared along with a fanfare announcing the victory of the occupation war, and at the same time, the gray fortress walls disappeared as if they were melting away.
[Zone 1: Ash (EX) occupies the dry drainage channel!]
– The zone is freed from nightmares.
– The ‘Princess’ Soul Fragment’ used in the area will be recovered.
Is it an illusion?
It feels like the dull darkness that covered the dungeon has gone. Somehow, I feel like the air has become warmer… … .
Looking around, I frowned at the system message.
‘What is this again?’
A fragment of the princess’s soul is recovered?
What are you talking about? what is that… ?
“huh?”
It was then.
Stumble.
“uh?”
Suddenly, the world in front of my eyes spun around.
I think I had these symptoms a few days ago when I was overworked… … .
Stumbling, I fell helplessly forward.
“Seniors?!”
Evangeline hurriedly received me, and the other party members were surprised and ran to me.
Junior ran in front of me, looked into my eyes, checked my condition, and hurriedly rummaged through my pockets.
“It’s such a symptom of depletion of mana!”
“Magic exhaustion? What is it?”
“It’s a symptom that appears when you use magic beyond your limits! Magic potion right now… … !”
I thought slowly as I felt the tongue-gnawing taste of the magic potion pouring into my mouth.
ah.
no wonder.
[Imperial Declaration] is an extremely high-performance skill that summons a fortress made of magic, but I wanted to use it too easily… … .
It’s not such a good game… … .
Before long, my eyes turned black.
I lost consciousness.
***
Ash passed out from shock due to depletion of mana.
Injuries caused by magic were a field that Damian, a priest, could not heal. This expert was a junior.
Junior poured the magic potion she had in a hurry into Ash’s mouth and was using her magic to help Ash turn with the magic in his body.
‘Something was strange!’
Mana materialization is an extremely wasteful technique.
Even Dusk Bringer, the holder of the Dragon Blood, sweats hard every time he pulls out a greatsword made of magic.
It’s not the size of a greatsword, and even if it’s a small base, it summoned a fortress.
Even after squeezing all the magic power in Ash’s body, it was far from lacking. It was an incomprehensible thing to summon and maintain in the first place.
‘This is no ordinary magic. There’s a secret hiding there.’
But now the secret was not important.
Ash pulled out his magic with a temporary payment, and the runaway magic furnace was ferociously boiling, demanding to pay the balance.
At this rate, the magic furnace would burn completely. Like Jupiter who suffered from a runaway magical power… … .
‘I can’t even begin with the magic potion I have now! How can I calm her down?!’
Urgently pouring in his mana, Junior shook his head. But there was no clear solution in sight.
‘Did you airlift the magic potion to the teleport gate? But how many magic potions are there in the manor house… … Above all, it’s already late when I go back… … !’
With Ash’s magical power, she greedily swallowed the pouring magic power. Junior had a hunch that his magical power would soon run out at this rate.
At that moment, Lucas hurriedly approached and kicked his forearm.
“Extract my life force and give it to my lord!”
“yes? what?!”
“Isn’t your lord in need of a magical transfusion? So even this way… … !”
“Stop talking nonsense! If you do something wrong, even Sir Lucas will die!”
Delivering mana to others was a method that could not be used except for the wizard class because it required extremely sophisticated mana management.
So, as a knight, Lucas was going to transfer his life force directly to Ash. However, Junior adamantly refused.
In this way, Ash would be able to replenish his mana, but Lucas would most likely die or become a crippled person.
“Isn’t it better than seeing your lord die! Come on!”
But Lucas didn’t back down and took a step closer and shouted.
Behind him, Evangeline and Damian were also walking their arms with determined expressions.
Everyone in the party was ready to die for Ash.
Junior looked back at everyone with a bewildered expression, and eventually made up his mind and nodded.
It was then.
“I understand your loyalty, but you don’t have to. Everyone get out of the way.”
A dull female voice rang out.
“?!”
When everyone turned around in surprise, a gray-haired woman wearing a familiar ragged robe had approached and stood there.
The watcher and guardian of the Lake Kingdom dungeon.
was nameless.
“Since Ash found my pieces… .”
In her hand was something that looked like a shiny white puzzle piece.
Moo-myeong, who was quietly looking at the piece, smiled faintly.
“Shouldn’t I also repay you?”
