I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 342
◈ 342. [STAGE 14] King & Knight (4)
“When I found out that my master had lost his memory.”
As I approached, Lucas murmured slowly.
“Actually, I was relieved.”
“… why?”
“Because I was able to start a broken relationship from the beginning.”
Lucas, who had been silently looking down at Mason’s corpse, continued.
“Because I was able to ignore the mistakes I had made and bury the past I wanted to forget.”
“… .”
“But the original sin I committed did not go away. Every time my lord smiled and treated me, the hidden past stabbed me inside like a dagger.”
Lucas slowly turned around.
“I want to be honest with you now.”
take a breath after
Lucas raised his head, looked straight at me, and opened his mouth.
“I am… .”
“Okay there!”
Cut-!
I cut mercilessly. Lucas’ face turned into a smirk.
“yes?!”
“No, you said it earlier. I am not interested in your past.”
Actually, I was quite curious at first. What the hell happened between Lucas and Ash? So I also tried to ask.
but… I realized all over again.
That’s seriously none of my business.
“Whatever you did to me, it’s okay. It is all in the past.”
“but… !”
“If you really want to apologize, do it later when I get my memory back.”
I grinned.
“Isn’t that fair?”
“… .”
Lucas, who was making an expression as if he had been hit in the head, burst out laughing.
“… I guess. Definitely yes. If I have to apologize to my lord who lost his memory, that will only satisfy my self.”
Oh no, I didn’t mean it that way… … .
But for some reason, Lucas’ face became much clearer. Lucas smiled and bowed his head politely.
“All right. Then, we will postpone the apology until the lord recovers his memory.”
“… .”
what. Why do I feel like I’ve lost something? Did you just ask for an apology?
After licking my lips, I waved my hand.
“Ahh done… how about weapons Do you like it?”
“All of the weapons you’ve given me have been great. This… It is on a different level.”
After glancing at Kelly Bay, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up over there, Lucas deliberately raised his voice.
“How on earth did your father-in-law make something like this?”
“They say it’s the sum total of the magic blacksmith skills of the Lake Kingdom. Isn’t that great? Only the super-genius elder dwarf Kellibey can do this… … .”
I saw Kelly Bay snorting and shrugging her shoulders. Hey really.
Still, it was the fact that he had made such an amazing weapon, so Lucas and I exchanged compliments on the weapon for a while. Why don’t you fly the plane?

Best in this game One of the fraudulent items [Bowed Sword].
There were also many nicknames given by users in the game. Starting with a lightsaber, a sword of light, a flashlight, a searchlight, and so on… … .
However, the most widely used nickname is ‘Light’.
When I first hear it, I wonder what kind of anonymity this is, but it is actually an abbreviation for ‘whip of light’.
When Lucas equips this weapon in-game, his attack range increases to +3 slots.
Since the shape of the blade can be changed freely, it is possible to hang it straight like a whip.
Using this increased range, he maintained the maximum distance from the enemy and used a long-distance [Strike of Will] to grind.
Use the infinite stack attack of melee units from a distance?
crazy bitch.
In addition, Lucas even possessed an outstanding mobile skill [Step of Tenacity].
No matter how strong the enemy unit is, it is possible to keep the distance alone and catch the passer, so called kiting tactic.
This guy is also a type of game that plays by changing genres alone.
“Be sufficiently proficient with this sword. It will be of great help to our frontline in the future.”
“Yes sir.”
“Now take it.”
After taking a moment to look at the stats, I gave the sword hilt to Lucas.
Then Lucas pauses for a moment, then
Chuck.
got down on one knee in front of me.
Then he raised both hands above his head and took the sword with utmost care.
“… ?”
No, I didn’t mean to give it like this… … .
Lucas got up and put the scabbard around his waist and smiled.
“I will use it well for the rest of my life. Lord.”
“okay. Don’t break it and eat it… … It’s something that can’t be broken… … .”
Durability is infinite in theory, so you should be able to use it well for the rest of your life.
If you’re in a hurry, take it out with a dagger and use it when you’re cooking, open the packaging with it, and use it like a MacGyver knife throughout your life.
By the way, does that mean wearing a scabbard? Doesn’t it usually have no blade, but when you hold it, a blade is formed?
Well, I’m going to continue this nonsense conversation peacefully,
but flash!
The teleport gate flashed and other heroes started pouring in.
“what?! What, what, what?!”
Evangeline, who hurriedly returned from the lead, shouted with her eyes wide open.
“What is all this?! What happened?!”
“… .”
It seems that the defense war is over.
A sharp fatigue came later. I sighed and walked toward the gate.
“Hey, I’ll have to sneak out. It’s about to get worse because of the careless use of magic again.”
“Me too, lord.”
Lucas grinned as he walked alongside me.
“After being beaten and rolled all day, I want to let go of everything and rest today.”
“… .”
I wondered what this incarnation of sincerity was.
And is it an illusion? Lucas This guy… … The corners of the mouth are loose. There was always a hard corner without knowing it.
A little now… … I see a young smile befitting a 22-year-old.
I smiled face to face.
“Shall we sleep together?”
“I see.”
“What about follow-up?”
“Well, it’s all over, but Evangeline is smart and will take care of it.”
okay. Evangeline is not subtly-but openly-continues to be greedy for command. Let’s leave all the behind-the-scenes work for now.
Lucas took one last glance at Mason’s corpse and then turned completely.
Me and Lucas stealthily lowered their stances, turned away, and approached the teleport gate.
I was just about to board the gate when my eyes met Evangeline’s, who was turning her head.
Lucas gave a big wave and I put the tip of my index finger on my temple and swung it towards Evangeline.
“We worked so hard, so let’s go take a break! Please clean up after yourself!”
“her… ?”
Evangeline, who had opened her small mouth as if it were absurd, ran towards us with a shout.
“Hey you guys! Where do you run away! Explain everything to me and go!”
Flash!
The world was colored with dazzling light, and soon Lucas and I jumped out through the teleport gate in the yard of the manor house.
Sorry Evangeline. The explanation will be given by the kids there. Senior is sick, so I’ll leave early.
I’m tttttttt! He lifted both his arms up and stretched them out. Then Lucas suddenly laughed.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
“Think of the old days?”
“During my academy days, when I skipped classes with my master and climbed over the wall to go out to play. The teachers from behind were chasing after them to catch them… … I remember that.”
oh really I guess it feels similar to going to a PC room after cutting a palm. Even in the fantasy world, all the students do the same thing.
Lucas’ expression softened slightly.
“I didn’t know it at the time, but now that it’s passed, it’s a fresh memory… .”
“… .”
Even though I don’t remember anything like the school days I spent with Lucas, I still felt like I knew something, but I didn’t know it.
“What did you usually do when you missed class?”
“Once I ate something. When I turned around, it was a time when I was hungry… … .”
“Then let’s eat something too. Hey Ader!”
Inside the ruined mansion, my servants burst into tears and ran towards me.
I shouted at Ader who stumbled out at the end of them.
“Younglord, I’m hungry! Bring something simple!”
Then, Ader, who was about to say something, swallowed the words and showed off his signature faint smile.
“… yes lord I will prepare a table for you!”

The next day. Early moning.
smart smart
A polite knock knocked on the door of the semi-basement house.
Moments later, a boy who had festered inside the house came to the door yawning and opened the lock.
“Who is Hua-am… oh!”
The boy’s eyes widened.
A tall blonde knight stood in front of the low door of the house. The boy smiled brightly.
“Knight! You’re all right!”
“Thank you for yesterday. Thanks to you, I was able to safely defeat the invaders and save the lord.”
“Hey, what did I do?”
The boy was embarrassed, and Lucas, who smiled at him, held out something wrapped in cloth on his back.
“But the wooden sword you lent me is completely broken. so… .”
Puzzled, the boy accepted the item and slowly undid the cloth.
“… !”
Inside was a short but nice sword.
“It’s too cheap to be called a gift and too cheap to be called a reward… accept it anyway It is a token of my appreciation.”
“Knight… !”
“You said becoming a knight was your dream too, right? You train hard with it.”
“yes!”
Looking down at the boy who cherished the sword, Lucas smiled.
“What kind of knight do you want to be?”
“hmm… Are you sure you want to be the kind of righteous knight who can stand on the side of the weak? … ?”
Feeling the touch of the scabbard, the boy laughed, then jerked his head upwards and suddenly asked:
“What kind of knight do you want to be?”
“me? I am… .”
After a moment of hesitation, Lucas smiled and shrugged.
“To aim for the coolest knight in the world.”
The boy smiled at him.
“You already do!”
“… Thank you for your words.”
Lucas lightly tousled the boy’s hair and turned around. Then he strode away and disappeared into the snowy street.
The boy was watching Lucas’ back with envy.
There is no shaking in the steps of the knight stepping on the snow.
Because there are no traces left to look back on.

“So, leaving me to clean up after myself, the two of you went to sleep after eating something delicious…” … .”
Evangeline gnashed her teeth beside me, puffing out both cheeks.
mansion. my room.
Sick me, I’m stuck in the bed, and Evangeline is sitting on the sofa next to it.
I am quietly getting scolded with my head lowered somewhat. After all, it’s a national rule to be robbed by a teacher the next day.
“I understand that you are tired! I know you’ve been through a lot! You don’t have to tell me though! Do you know how worried I was by myself?!”
“I’m sorry… .”
I’m sorry sir… … . No penalty points for Gryffindor, please… … .
As I apologized repeatedly, Evangeline sighed and buried her little body on the sofa.
“Eh, that’s okay. What are you doing holding onto a sick person?”
“Sorry… It’s my fault… .”
“Because when Mr. Lucas comes back later, I’m going to give away as much as you share… He said that this man was also quite injured, so he’s wandering around so he can’t even see his nose.”
Lucas is out now. He said he went out for a while to repay the borrowed item.
“Anyway, everyone is safe and it’s okay… The defense battle suffered from bad weather, but we succeeded in exterminating the monster without much damage.”
Evangeline, who had brought a bundle of reports to the front, looked at me with her green eyes slightly raised.
“By the way, senior.”
“huh?”
“There is one strange thing.”
weird thing? what?
“Among the special forces, there were 16 dead and 4 live spores… I got a report.”
“uh. That would be right. But why?”
“that is… .”
Evangeline narrowed her brows and studied the documents carefully, then spat out the following words slowly.
“… There were a total of 15 corpses I recovered yesterday?”
