I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 405
◈ 405. [Side Story]
Raven fell into ‘Completely Nullified’ state for 3 minutes for 1 turn of the flag.
It was just floating in the air, and now it was over if I attacked and killed it for three minutes.
“Warmmmmmer.”
“What the hell is this? … ?”
The Sword Ghost and the Window Ghost, who fired their swords and spears at Raven, let out embarrassing moans.
The attack of the two only cuts across Raven’s shimmering shadow as if crossing the empty air. I couldn’t hit him.
“I can’t see the spiritual core… ?”
“Is this bastard right?!”
“It is definitely the body. But why-”
Then Mason, who lowered Raven’s body roughly with his claws, gnashed his teeth.
《This monster has no spiritual core… … !》
“Is that possible?!”
Even blood-related vampire monsters were swaying with their bodies full of blood, but they still had spirit cores.
It is the great principle of a monster to perish if it loses its spiritual core.
But how can Raven not have a spirit core… … Could it be so real right in front of your eyes?
– So I used my mind and soul as a seedling. I broke my soul, crushed it, rotted it, and used it as material.
I remembered what he said when he attacked me in the bottom village.
I mumbled despondently.
“This is not a figurative expression, but a real sacrifice of the soul… ?”
《Yes.》
Then Raven’s voice rang out.
It’s already been 3 minutes. Holy shit!
“I burned every last detail of my soul and used it as a sacrifice. That’s why I’ve already transcended the monsters and escaped the laws of the world, becoming a plague.” After
recovering and being released from the incapacitated state, Raven let out an evil laugh.
《How are you guys going to stop this much determination?》
“Kuh… !”
I desperately shook my head. think think!
How can I kill an opponent who has neither a body nor a spiritual core?
There must be a way-
«Thanks to you, Ash, I had a dream of the distant past. thanks. My hatred grew stronger… … .》
However, Raven seemed to have no intention of giving me time.
《Have you used all the prepared moves, human? Then it’s my turn.”
Raven’s smog-like form condensed for an instant
. … !]
Chow aaaagh!
It rained and splashed in all directions like an exploded sprinkler.
It wasn’t something that could be avoided. Like marble melted in acid rain, my mental barrier melted away and a black shadow penetrated my head.
‘I got hit.’
I laughed bitterly.
It was then.
‘uh?’
Wow –
I suddenly feel like someone is hugging me from behind… … .
***
“Your Highness.”
I shuddered at the sound of a voice beside me.
“Why are you like that, Your Highness? Are you drunk already?”
“Huh huh? what?”
Suddenly, this place was a bar for the mercenary guild.
Looking to the side, Jupiter is sitting.
The one-eyed old soldier wore a familiar mischievous smile. With a cup of hard liquor in one hand and a smoking cigar in the other. He twisted his forehead next to me.
“This is difficult to draw. Didn’t you decide to be my drinking partner all night?”
I remember seeing
this scene .
“Jupiter!”
I hurriedly grabbed the old soldier’s shoulder with my hand. Jupiter’s only eye widened.
“majesty? Why are you suddenly… … .”
“Here it is!”
I looked around and gritted my teeth.
“Never go to the front line! got it?”
But when I looked at the Jupiter side again.
Before she knew it, she was collapsed on top of the castle wall.
Pouring blood from the chest that was swarmed by blood bullet magic.
“… .”
The nightmares I had seen in the past played out one by one in front of me, devastated.
“Prince!”
“Your Highness the Prince!”
Old Girl and Skull laughed and ran and then
dumped! Patter… … .
Like a withered old tree, all of its blood was sucked to death, and it was battered and shattered by blood magic.
“eat a lot. It is a traditional dish of our tribe.”
Kureha, who smiled kindly while serving me a meal,
felt her whole body quiver… … !
It twisted and deformed grotesquely, transforming into a giant wolf monster and then collapsing to death.
“He is an indispensable person here in the city.”
Marherita said that to me sitting on the bed in the mansion and went out.
“Don’t overdo it in the future.”
And she was struck down by an arrow.
Quiet in front of the goddess statue in the temple.
And again.
I saw God Hand sitting on a bench in front of the alchemist’s workshop and waiting for his lover with a shy smile. holding a flower in one hand.
Excellence… … .
The next moment he was gone.
With only withered flowers scattered everywhere.
“Damn, I thought it would be like this… .”
At the collapsed outpost.
A tear-stained Ken is slaughtered in front of the legs of black spiders.
People’s blood soaks the earth.
death. death. death.
The guilt that I had to go through all my life filled the horizon again. I fell to my knees on the floor, unable to breathe.
“Look.”
Then a voice came from above. I managed to lift my shaking head up.
“Don’t avoid it, look at it. These are all lives you took.”
“Raven… !”
A raven floated in the sky.
In a world filled with death everywhere, the Plague Lord reigned alone in the air as if it were a black sun.
《In order to more definitely kill your mind, I personally infiltrated your mind.》
“Thank you so much for caring about that… !”
“You’re holding up better than the first time. Have you developed a tolerance? Or was your guilt just that shallow?”
Raven let out a low laugh, then stirred and poured black rain again.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s enough to repeat thousands and tens of thousands of times until you completely collapse… … !]
Every drop of water it poured out was the death of my comrades.
I closed my eyes tightly. I didn’t have the confidence to hold on even once, let alone thousands of times.
at that time. The sound of an umbrella opening
echoed
.
Shoot aaaaa-
the raindrops didn’t touch me.
I looked up curiously to the side. OK.
“Hello babe?”
Salome was standing there.
She put on me a strikingly bright pink umbrella that didn’t fit in with this dark world at all. I see you smiling brightly
“uh?”
“no… .]
Both Raven and I were taken aback.
“Salome… ?”
《Damn girl! How is this?!”
“Hey. Even if you look down on the dreamer, aren’t you looking down too much?”
Salome folded her arms and shrugged.
“Raven, you blew a hole in Ash’s mental barrier. Of course I can use that hole too.”
“This… The desired succubus! Don’t interfere with my work!”
Then Salome, still holding the umbrella over me, put her other hand on my shoulder.
“ash. I want to always cover you with an umbrella, but unfortunately. People have to get caught in the rain someday.”
Salome laughed and said,
“So look straight ahead.”
Click!
folded the umbrella
《If you have to watch it anyway, watch it straight to the end.》
Shoot aaaaa!
A torrential rain of nightmares washed over my body.
And what unfolded was a painful memory no different from before.
Jupiter was dead. Falling on top of the castle wall, dripping blood from the chest that was swarmed by blood bullets.
I turned my head involuntarily at that horrific sight. Then Salome, standing next to me, shouted.
《Don’t look away, Ash!》
“… !”
“This is the world you created. It’s the road you’ve walked so far So.”
Salome’s voice was harsh but warm.
“Look at me! Right to the end!]
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.
I looked ahead again.
OK… seemed
He lays Jupiter’s head on his lap and whispers something to Jupiter… … Junior’s appearance.
Jupiter died with a peaceful face. Junior held on to Jupiter’s body and sobbed for a while.
and.
and… .
Junior wiped his tear-stained face, straightened up, and took a deep breath.
With a determined face, as if he had decided on something.
stood up
-The scene has changed.
I saw Body Bag and Burnout weeping while collecting the corpses of Old Girl and Skull.
The two young elves wept for the world to pass away and… … .
hold each other’s hands tightly
Wiping each other’s tears.
stood up
-The scene has changed.
I saw the dead body of Kureha who had turned into a monster.
Quylan lightly embraced the corpse.
Quylan, who looked down at his dead brother fondly, then slowly got up.
And he went to bury his brother.
-The scene has changed.
Marherita, who had been hit by an arrow, was laid neatly in front of the statue of the goddess.
Torkell fixed his helmet, fastened a toothed cleaver in his right hand and a broken table in his left arm.
Then, as if to fight again, he raised his bloody body.
-The scene has changed.
Lily was sitting alone on a bench.
Even though the lover who tried to surprise himself with flowers no longer comes. I sat down on the bench in front of the studio and stayed there.
She stared at the metal flower in her hand.
After quietly hugging the flower to your chest.
Lily struggled to get up and moved from the bench to the wheelchair.
It seemed very difficult for her, who could not use both legs. However, Lily gritted her teeth and struggled, but somehow managed to sit in the wheelchair.
and dragging a wheelchair.
Somewhere- somewhere in this harsh world.
moved
-The scene has changed.
I was reading the letter that came to me. Written in a crooked, clumsy handwriting, the letter was written by a child.
Ken’s younger siblings.
After Ken’s death in the tutorial, the kids I’ve decided to take care of.
They were remitting living expenses in the name of the 3rd prince, but one of his younger siblings sent a letter.
– What kind of knight was your brother?
I replied with sincerity.
– Sir Ken fought more valiantly than any other knight in the world.
– To protect the world. to keep you
– Neither I nor Crossroad will forget his bravery and dedication.
Then came the reply.
– Then I want to protect the world like you!
Those pure sentences written with sloppy strokes.
I looked down and held back my tears for a while.
… The scene changed again.
An elderly Marshal Cross appeared, dressed in armor, who had been eaten up by rats.
“How is it?”
The Marquis stared at me with a bloody face.
“To protect this city enough to dedicate your most precious thing… Was it worth it?”
“… .”
I didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he turned his head and looked to the side.
On crutches and with bandages wrapped around his body.
I saw Evangeline, with a brightened face, walking across the spring garden to the center of the city.
“… sure.”
Before I knew it, I was also standing up.
He barely stood up on his wobbly legs.
“Change bag. The Marquis told me before he died. The Crossroads here is called the City of Graves.”
I faced the Marquis.
“It’s also a derogatory term for the number of people who died in the war, but it also means that people live on, even if it’s on the grave.”
A faint smile spread across the bloody old man’s face.
okay. Now I realize all over again.
face my guilt It was only after seeing the people who followed him that I finally realized it, although it was a long time ago.
people die
But the meaning goes on.
Those left behind carry on their legacy and move on again.
That way – it goes on and on.
human history. man’s will. man’s dream.
“It’s a bit late, but I’ve realized it now.”
I raised a flag and people gathered under it.
If people died for that flag.
My job is not to drop the flag.
It’s not about despair. It’s not about being frustrated. It’s not about regretting or blaming yourself.
no matter how painful No matter how much you want to run away.
should be inherited
Clearly remembering what they died for… … We must carry our will as much as our lives and raise the flag again.
Because that is the responsibility and duty of the person who carries the flag.
“I will tell you a hundred and a thousand times. Marquis.”
I reached out to the right.
“This city. And this world.”
Then, in empty space where there was nothing… … A brightly shining flag was born.
Holding it tightly, I cried out.
“Worth protecting… There is!”
