I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 338
◈ 338. [STAGE 14] Predicament
The place I informed Mason was behind the gravestone at the grave site outside the west gate. He lied that there was a passage leading to the Lake Kingdom.
First of all, there are few people, so citizens don’t get swept away by these guys for no reason, and it’s a distinctive place, and it’s also a place I often visit.
“Hmm, I hid the passage behind the tombstone… .”
It was a blatant lie, but I pretended to be hypnotized and held on as shamelessly as possible. Mason was somehow gullible.
The task force adjutant standing next to Mason whispered in a whisper.
“Hypnotic extracts from nightmares directly interfere with the psyche. It’s an item that breaks down the mental barrier of the Ivory Tower Archmage, but there’s no way the prince can resist. It seems certain.”
“Still, something bothers me… First of all, I will go scouting the passage by myself.”
As we walked outside, Mason chinned me.
“Closely monitor the prince.”
Mason left the room.
I quickly looked around to see the rest of the task force in the room. Only you in the room. There is one on each wall.
In the room, there is me tied up, God Hand, who was knocked down on the floor, and Burnout.
I met God Hand’s gaze. God Hand, who was grunting in pain, made a small mouth as soon as our eyes met.
‘Body bag.’
indeed.
The current shadow unit consists of three members. These are Metal Mage God Hand Explosive Archer Burnout and Teleport Mage Body Bag.
God Hand and Burnout have been caught, but Body Bag is not here… … That means they haven’t been caught and are watching the situation from the outside.
‘There is a chance.’
After taking a deep breath, I waited for a moment to pass. Until Mason is out of this house and far enough away.
After about 10 minutes, thinking that this was enough, I raised my head.
ok let’s get started
“Hey, can you loosen this bondage?”
I whined as I looked around at the task force guarding me.
“It’s so tight that the prince’s arm hurts. Without this, I think it will be a little more comfortable because I can use my magic power.”
In fact, that was what God Hand said. I want you to take care of this trap.
The task force members looked at each other a little puzzled.
“Captain. It looks like the hostage is about to wake up from the hypnotic drug.”
“For now, cover your eyes again.”
Mason’s lieutenant… … Their unit commander picked up a bag of bread and came over to put it back on me. I frowned.
“Hey, are you trying to put that on me now? Are you confident that you will be able to handle it later? Did I remember your face? huh?”
“… .”
The unit commander broke into a cold sweat, but without hesitation, he strode towards me again.
Right before he put the bag of bread on my head, I screamed out loud.
“Now-!”
“?!”
Then, I heard something whistle from outside, and it was
a quagmire!
A wall on one side was completely shattered, and huge fragments burrowed inside.
It was the wreckage of a building thrown by Body Bag with telekinesis from outside. It’s a ruined village, so it looks like there’s a lot of stuff like that rolling around.
Remnants of the collapsed wall crushed one of the task force members standing there.
“Keah!”
“what?!”
“It’s an enemy raid!”
The gap where the special forces members were embarrassed and their eyes were focused in that direction.
In the midst of this confusion, Burnout slipped up from his seat, put his hand on the gag of his muzzle, and then removed it with a single stroke—
“Kwaaaaaa!”
… It spewed fire from its mouth.
No, was this the reason I always kept my mouth shut?
“Aaaaaaa!”
The unit commander, engulfed in flames, screamed and rolled across the floor, setting the room on fire.
No matter how many agents belong to the special task force, there is bound to be chaos if bombardment of building debris is pouring in from outside and someone spewing fire from their mouths inside.
At the same time, God Hand stood up and transformed his arm into a blade.
Both of his hands are prosthetic arms made of metal… And God Hand is a metal master.
It was as if he had an emergency weapon in his hand from the start.
“majesty!”
God Hand ran towards me and lightly swung the sword in his hand.
Chew!
At once, my bindings were cut off, and when the magic seal effect on the bindings disappeared, magic returned to my body.
“Ah, this cool and heavy feeling. Long time no see.”
I muttered and got up from my seat.
“A long time of humiliation and persecution… It was a boring car. thanks! God Hand.”
I glared at the two task force members who were about to rush in.
“There you two!”
The guys and I met our eyes.
What if our eyes meet?
[Mystic Eye of Command] The activation condition is met!
“Do 10 in-place high jumps-!”
Flash!
[Command Difficulty: Easy]
[Contrast the user’s intelligence stat with the target’s magic stat.]
[Determine the success rate. Initiate the saving throw… … .]
Tring!
[Judgment complete!]
>Success: 2 bodies
[Executing compulsory command.]
Spectacularly successful!
The two agents immediately and eagerly began jumping high in place.
And before I could fill ten times, God Hand and Body Bag rushed at me and slashed the two guys in the jaws.
I growled as I kicked the bodies of the two who had collapsed on the floor with my toe.
“Weren’t you taught to repeat from the beginning if the last number is wrong, you bastards? huh?”
I groaned and leaned forward with a throbbing headache. Ugh!
“I have a nosebleed… .”
But this isn’t the time to mess with things like this. I quickly wiped the bloody nose with the back of my hand.
Just then, an elf with chubby cheeks rolled in from the outside through the collapsed wall. It was the body bag that blew the wreckage bomb from outside.
“Sorry for being late!”
“I lived thanks to the body bag!”
“majesty! be careful! There are more agents out there… … Kyaaak!”
Patter!
Before Bodybag could finish his words, arrows rained down through the collapsed walls.
The guys outside the building fired crossbows at us without mercy. These crazy bastards!
God Hand, who led me behind cover, gnashed his teeth.
“They are outnumbered! We’ve killed four, so there are ten left!”
I could hear footsteps rushing towards the closed door. I gritted my teeth. Totally surrounded!
‘What is the means to escape?’
God Hand and Burnout are injuries. The body bag needs time to cool down due to the use of telekinesis.
And I… … I was in a lot of pain, but I used magic power forcibly, and my condition was terrible.
My head is pounding and it’s hard to keep my eyes open. Consciousness seems to be evaporating.
– He’s really great. how did you break this?
Images you don’t want to come up with
– Mom will always be by your side.
It comes up randomly and fills my head.
Knock!
Grinding my teeth, I tried to come to my senses. Keep your spirits up! Didn’t you do some exercise, Kim Ash!
‘It’s a mess, but it’s still okay!’
I still have some useful items in my inventory. I gasped and put my hands in my inside pockets… … .
Beep.
[The current player’s proof of existence is uncertain.]
[The system cannot be used.]
“… ?”
no what is this fuck? Why are you like this all of a sudden?
A bright red message window popped up in front of me, and that message was printed out. What is proof of existence?
I wonder if the inventory is also a system function, no matter how much I stir, my hand scans the empty inner pocket and I can’t open the inventory.
Holy shit! This is why you should carry cash, not a card!
Patter!
“majesty! Kut!”
A shower of arrows poured through the collapsed wall, and arrows pierced the back and shoulder of God Hand, who wrapped me.
Body Bag desperately fights back with telekinesis, and Burnout responds with a stolen crossbow even with burns on his mouth.
Everyone is trying, but the difference between numbers and firepower is obvious.
A harsh thumping noise began to come from the door of the room that was blocked by the barrier. Now, when that door opens and the enemies rush inside… … .
It was then.
“uh?”
“What are you… Whoops?!”
“Enemy reinforcements- Aagh!”
Clumsy! Kwajik!
A dull plosive sound was heard outside the door, and the task force members trying to enter it fell silent.
We looked at it curiously. what?
Bang-!
The next moment, the door was shattered open and shouted,
“My lord!”
A knight in a tin helmet rushed inside with ferocious force like a tank.
“Are you all right, lord!”
“Lucas!”
The four of us’ faces brightened up at the appearance of the relief army.
“It’s also Lucas! You’re here to save me!”
Then Lucas shyly scratched the back of the can.
“No, I am at my limit now… .”
Lucas’s chest, visible through the cracks in his armor, is soaked in blood along with a clumsy bandage.
And the wounds that seemed to have just occurred were left all over the body. The wooden sword in his hand was broken in half.
“I broke the heads of about three guys as I entered, but that’s it.”
Lucas calmly told me about his condition.
“Each of the enemies is strong. It seems to be difficult to deal with anymore.”
“… .”
“Besides, all the outside guards are rushing this way. And Mason must have noticed something wrong and is on his way.”
I gritted my teeth gently.
Is Lucas really saying that there is no other way…? … .
Then Lucas picked up something from the floor and said.
“… but lord I have one way.”
that… It was the envelope they were trying to put over my head.
Holding the envelope in his hand, Lucas said softly.
“Would you trust me and leave it to me?”
Is it an illusion?
I can’t see it well because it’s covered by the tin helmet… … .
Lucas’ eyes through the gaps in the helmet seemed to smile.
***
“What kind of fuss is this?”
Mason, who came back in a hurry after a while, growled at his men.
“I told you to handle it as quietly as possible no matter what happens. If you make a fuss like this, the forces of the Crossroads might come rushing in!”
The special task force standing guard reported.
“A knight and a wizard attacked one by one from the outside and tried to free the prince.”
“How is it?”
“Four guards in the room were killed, and three guards outside were seriously injured. The unit commander is also dead.”
Among the neatly arranged corpses, I saw the commander of the task force, who had collapsed in a charred state.
He was in charge of the armed forces, so he was the only brainy friend in the first team of the special task force, which was only a muscle brain… … . The agent continued to explain to Mason, who clicked his tongue.
“As you can see, the hideout is no longer functioning as one wall has completely collapsed… .”
“Don’t do that, you bastard! What about the prince!”
Mason yelled, and the agent pointed toward the inside of the room.
“It is inside.”
“what?”
“Except for the prince, all the others have fled. We also confirmed that the prince was still there and did not pursue them further… … .”
Not understanding, Mason looked inside the room.
It really was. Ash was the same.
She was sitting quietly with an envelope over her head, draped over her body and chained to a chair.
the agent added.
“Maybe I couldn’t take him out because I couldn’t move because the hypnosis wasn’t working?”
“… .”
Mason’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ash.
“… for a moment.”
“yes?”
“Don’t you think the prince has grown a bit taller?”
Mason clenched his fists.
“Have you checked?”
“yes? What?”
“Have you checked your face?”
“The right to approach the prince is only for the commander and above… .”
Leaving behind the spattering agent, Mason gritted his teeth and strode towards Ash.
slap!
As Ash removed the envelope from his head – a
grinning blue eye could be seen through the disheveled blond hair.
“Hello Mason.”
It wasn’t Ash.
It was Lucas.
Ash and Lucas exchanged clothes and armor, exchanged envelopes and helmets, and Ash escaped, leaving Lucas as a stand-in.
“… haha.”
Mason, who had been laughing dejectedly, raised his fist upwards and
exclaimed!
He swung wildly and hit the agent next to him.
Kwudangtang! Kwajik!
The agent, who fell like a puppet with a string cut off, threw herself against the wall and could no longer move.
“To be fooled by such a lame trick… .”
Mason, who looked sideways at the dead agent with a sunken face, sighed haha.
“Is it a side effect of the beastization serum? I can’t control my anger.”
Mason revealed his bestial fangs as he turned his pale, fleshy gaze toward Lucas.
“I’m confident that I can handle this anger, so what’s left, boy?”
Lucas just smiled and didn’t answer.
Mason’s fist landed on the knight’s face with a roar.
