I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 334

◈ 334. [STAGE 14] Dogs on the wire (2)

“Did you know it would be like this?”

Mason murmured and energized his handcuffed arms.

“Suck!”

Tendons sprouted from the thick muscles of both arms, and

Kwadeuk!

He tore off the handcuffs at once.

Mason smirked as he threw the iron handcuffs bent like candy to the floor.

“He’s already betrayed His Highness Fernandez once. There’s no easy way to come back here. I knew.”

Lucas frowned.

“I betrayed Fernandez?”

“Isn’t it?”

Mason raised a thick finger and pointed at Lucas.

“You betrayed Highness Ash by siding with Highness Fernandez… . After that, he betrayed Highness Fernandez again and sided with Highness Ash.”

“… .”

“Your life is marked by betrayal.”

Mason spat again at Lucas, who couldn’t refute.

“That is the nature of the sword and McGregor.”

“MacGregor’s nature… … say.”

“Your ancestor was also beheaded for exposing his treacherous teeth to the imperial family a hundred years ago. Isn’t that right?”

It was true. The MacGregor family, which once produced the first sword in a row, went down the road after that.

Without achieving any significant achievement, he got involved in the power struggle of other nobles and was consumed in a power struggle without a cause.

“… is it so. Literally, Mr. Mason. McGregor has the blood of a mad dog that does not recognize its owner.”

When Lucas laughed self-deprecatingly, Mason smiled back and pointed at himself.

“And being educated in the MacGregor family, I also learned that nature.”

“… I mean. Does that mean Uncle Mason also betrayed you?”

“Exactly. young master.”

Mason shrugged broadly.

“Who was it that encouraged the late MacGregor family, who only knew swords, to start a business he didn’t even know much about?”

“… !”

“Who was it that forced Her Majesty Fernandez to go into debt when the business of the head of the household was in danger?”

Mason raised his hand and pointed at himself.

“When the head of the family, unable to repay the debt, betrayed His Highness Fernandez and tried to attach himself to another family, who else disguised himself as an accident and ‘removed’ it?”

Lucas’s molars clenched together.

Actually, I had a vague suspicion. I didn’t expect you to admit it so openly.

“Mason you… !”

“Whoa, don’t say too much. young master. I just lived an honest life as a human being as a prosecutor.”

Mason grinned.

“I just moved the enemy by looking for an owner who gave me more money with stronger power.”

“… .”

“I show my stomach and submit to those who are stronger. Isn’t that the dog’s nature?”

Lucas’s grip on the sword swelled with strength.

okay. Knights are, after all, a group of people who, at best, make a living off of murder.

McGregor is nothing more than a bunch of crazy hounds like this.

they are dogs

With the leash held by the high-ranking humans, he only bites at the command… … dog.

“… Mason. He said he knew I would never go back to Fernandez’s side.”

With the intent to kill, Lucas chewed it slowly and spat it out.

“Then why? Why did you approach me again and try to placate me?”

“Why?”

Mason replied as he tore off the handcuffs of his subordinates one after another.

“You really don’t know? Why did we deliberately show up? It’s enough to hide in the shadows and move.”

“… .”

“It had many purposes, but the biggest one was to draw attention to us.”

With their hands free, the task force members warmed up and stood in front of Lucas.

“We disguise ourselves as the only infiltrating spy, and then launch a diversionary operation to steal the real target.”

Lucas’s eyes widened in the helmet.

“no way… !”

“young master. Currently, the Aegis task force dispatched to the Crossroads… … .”

Mason grinned, showing his teeth.

“There are 20 people in total.”

“… !”

“Where is everyone but us?”

Lucas glanced in the direction of the upper Wintersilver branch.

As Ash defended, are they targeting Larc’s wife and her sons?

“No, no. That’s not it. Think carefully, young master.”

Mason spoke in a teasing tone, perhaps amused.

“What His Highness Fernandez really wants. What is our mission? Didn’t you tell the young master?”

“… ?!”

Only then did Lucas turn his head toward the manor house.

“I hope my lord… ?!”

ash.

Ash, who is now sick, is in danger… … !

As Lucas tries to run towards the manor house, Mason and the task force block his way.

“No, Bocchan.”

Duduk. Duduk.

Mason chuckled as he released his giant fist.

“A chance to become a genius like now when you, who guard the prince for 24 hours, are separated… … Will we miss it?”

“Get out of the way, Mason.”

Fire-!

The [Calmatizer] in Lucas’ hand burned with sword energy. Lucas chewed ferociously and spat it out.

“If you get out of the way now, I’ll kill you with less pain.”

“Ahaha. what about this?”

Mason patted his stomach playfully.

“Your young master’s shallow swordsmanship won’t be able to pierce Uncle Mason’s thick belly skin.”

“Don’t be pretentious, Mason… !”

Tuhak-!

Hitting the ground, Lucas charged.

“Get out of my way!”

The power of each leg was so strong that the snow piled up on the ground where Lucas stepped was dug up and scattered behind him all at once.

In the blink of an eye, Lucas’s longsword, which had dug into Mason’s face, was lowered horizontally.

It was such a sharp blow that the falling eyes slashed all at once along the sword path.

but.

“Taffy tea!”

“… !”

As expected, Mason swiftly rolled back and narrowly escaped the gap between the swords.

It was an unbelievably light movement that came out of that thick physique.

At that time, a guard came running from the central prison.

It was one of the guards Lucas knocked out earlier. Lucas thought that the guard was looking for an escaped prisoner, but he wasn’t.

The guard threw Mason’s greatsword in his arms and Mason grabbed it easily.

The guard handed out the other weapons he had brought with him to the task force.

It was another Aegis task force who had been infiltrating as a guard.

From the start, Mason had been caught with a means of escape.

“Ha ha ha! This is boiling blood.”

Mason, who lightly spun his huge sword like a can of millet, laughed ferociously like a wild bear.

“To be able to kill the young boy whom I once considered like a son with these hands!”

Lucas didn’t answer and ran again. [Carma Eater], entwined with fierce sword spirit along with a dazzling halo, aimed at Mason’s neck and was slashed.

And

chang-!

Mason swung his greatsword at him and took the blow head-on.

Mason’s greatsword was also wrapped in a heavy halo of light. Lucas gritted it.

It was the MacGregor family’s sword ceremony.

As a master of his family, Mason was also extremely adept at imbuing magic with his sword.

“Although I’ve lived my whole life changing owners and spreading false allegiance.”

Mason exclaimed as he pushed the sword away from him.

“Even skill is not a lie! young master-!”

Tsukaak!

Lucas, who was momentarily out of strength, fell backwards.

“Kuk!”

After correcting his posture in the air and landing while scattering snow powder, Lucas looked ahead and saw that

task force members were holding their weapons and thrusting swords from all sides.

Pooh-!

Black light, snow powder, and blood poured in all directions.

***

Crossroads Manor House.

smart smart

Ader, who rushed out at the sound of a knock, opened the door and peered out, where merchants with wry smiles were standing there.

“hello. We are merchants from the East. I want to start a new trade with the lord… … .”

“Ah, right now the lord is sick and is sleeping.”

Ader, who had looked inside the mansion, looked ahead again.

“I’m sorry, but next time you come back… .”

clap.

Before he could speak, a crossbow was pointed at Ader’s forehead.

Ader, who blinked blankly and faced the crossbow, tilted his head.

“… that’s interesting. This is the first time this has happened.”

Tuhak!

An arrow shot from the crossbow lodged between Ader’s forehead. Ader’s body floated up and rolled down the hallway of the mansion.

bang-!

The merchants who kicked in the door kicked in – the task force disguised as them – quickly aimed their crossbows around them and dug into the mansion.

“Start the search! Find Prince Ash.”

“Search all the way from the first floor!”

All the heroes left to fight a defensive battle, and the few guards were dispatched to protect Lark’s wife and sons.

There were almost no troops guarding the manor house. There was no means to resist outside invasion.

“Find the prince!”

“Besides the prince, bring all the servants and maids here!”

The task force found the few servants of the mansion, overpowered them, and drove them into the drawing room.

Aiming the crossbow at the servants, the special task force asked the unit commander.

“What should I do?”

“There is no need to kill needlessly.”

At those words, the servants’ faces brightened. However, his face turned white at the words the unit commander spoke afterward.

“But these guys saw our faces. I’ll have to kill and destroy it just in case.”

“All right.”

Clap! Clap!

The crossbows were ready to fire in unison. The servants raised their hands up and screamed for help.

But the task force members didn’t blink an eye and pulled the trigger on their crossbows and –

FUCK! Fubububuk!

Ader rushed in between the arrows and caught them with his body.

“It hurts!”

Ader, who had turned into a porcupine, vomited blood while standing. Embarrassed, the task force stunned and stepped back.

“What is this bastard?”

“Isn’t that the guy you killed at the door earlier?”

“Obviously, I hit it right on the forehead, but how… .”

An even more surprising thing happened next.

Although Ader was in pain, he began to pull the arrows out of his body one by one. Then, the pierced flesh filled up and the torn skin healed.

Ader laughed with bloody lips.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of the curse of eternal life… ?”

Push! Push!

Pupuk! Fufufufufu!

The task force opened fire once more.

Ader, who collapsed on the floor again in the shape of a hedgehog, groaned and stood up again.

“Hey, I don’t die, and I set the resurrection point to this mansion and play it in real time, but being sick is sick… .”

The unit commander of the task force clicked his tongue.

“I have heard of it. This guy is the person of interest, the Eternal.”

“What can I do? i can’t kill Shall we set the whole mansion on fire?”

“Then, the abnormality will be noticed and the reinforcements will return from the defensive battle. I need to clean it up… … .”

It was then.

“I found the prince! I found it in my 3rd floor bedroom!”

“… We don’t need to wait any longer.”

The matter was jawed out.

“Leave it alone and leave quickly. let’s go.”

“What about this monster?”

“I heard that you can’t use any authority other than eternal life anyway. just keep the pressure on You won’t be able to do anything.”

Patter!

The task force members fired one more round of crossbows at Ader and then stampeded out.

“Cool, this is troublesome… .”

Ader muttered weakly as he became a mop and was pinned to the wall.

“If I was in my prime, I would have stopped it without any problems, but because I changed jobs to director, I lost all my power in this world… .”

Through the window, I could see the members of the task force quickly leaving the mansion.

Ash was being transported wrapped in a blanket. Even in this situation, Ash was soundly asleep with a feverish face.

“… I’m sorry, my agent. I’m such an idiot.”

Ader smiled bitterly through his blood-soaked lips.

“Once again, the adversity is yours… .”
