I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 425
◈ 425. [Side Story] Fernandez
■■Before round.
New Terra, the capital of the Everblack Empire.
final defense line.
***
The world is on fire.
“… ah.”
Standing atop the walls of New Terra, the ecliptic, Fernandez looked down in dismay.
The whole world—every horizon as far as the eye could see was death and fire.
A wave of horrific monsters surged from the south without end. The monster corps that penetrated the southern front engulfed the whole world in the north.
Humanity struggled to resist. Under the command of the Imperial Emperor, they united as one and fought for their lives.
but was defeated
Fortresses were captured and massacres took place in the cities. Mountains and rivers were stained with blood, and monsters devoured human corpses.
The greenskins, whose numbers were called endlessly, trampled the human city.
In the fields and valleys, werewolves hunted people.
Those who escaped to the sea met ghost pirates and were stranded in the open sea as a whole.
Enchanted by the dream demon, those who were hung alive were sucked out of their spirit.
The Black Spider Queen lays new eggs on top of the high pile of corpses.
The blood relatives drank human blood and craved human meat, and
the plague spread endlessly over the living hell that had arrived.
Under the sky where the bright and ominous magical lights shimmered endlessly,
the human society, where the strongest knights and wizards gathered, was defeated by an army of demons, and
the black dragons who flew in to retreat were burned with black flames.
“iced coffee… .”
Watching the end of the world, Fernandez only let out a devastated moan.
The predicted fall of the empire is a total of four.
Among them, the dragon blood front, the ambu front, and the isin front all won. Only the last monster front could not be overcome.
In the end, the monsters that overflowed from the bottom of the Black Lake were so strong and numerous that it was impossible for humans to stop them.
Now all that remains is New Terra, the last city of mankind.
However, the last line of defense stretched out on the walls of New Terra was too easily crushed by the waves of monsters that came from all sides.
“Fight! Fight to the end! Let them know we were here-!”
The Emperor was fighting.
In front of the southern gate of the ecliptic, he led the few remaining guards. He resisted to the end and swung his sword.
Like a transcendent man who has long gone beyond human limits, he continued to fight unbroken and untiring, as befits the last prince who ruled the world.
But – the defeat was clear.
The countless monsters gnawed at the guards one by one and finally killed them. At one point, no living people were left around the emperor.
“Whoop whoop whoop… .”
Chuck-
Three monsters landed in front of the emperor, who was covered in human and monster blood.
A sorceress wearing a robe with wide sleeves and a crown for coronation with small bead decorations attached to it, and her face covered by a large amulet attached to the cap.
Baekya, the king of magic.
Gorgeous deer-like antlers sprouted from between her cream-colored hair.
A woman wearing a fancy dress on her red skin and a mask that covers her eyes like a masquerade.
Cromwell, the leader of the Demon Guard.
A being in a neat black-and-white suit with long black hair hanging down casually and a shiny golden dragon’s eye.
It takes on a human form, but its essence is a dragon.
Black Dragon Night Bringer.
The three monsters glared at the emperor who resisted until the end, raising their respective strengths.
“… .”
The emperor’s sword, which had been swung tirelessly, suddenly fell down.
The emperor looked at his dead men, the razed walls of the city, and the tattered imperial banners.
“is it.”
And muttered bitterly.
“… It must have come this far.”
Taat-!
The three monster corps commanders fired at the emperor at the same time.
Countless magical light bullets fired by the Emperor of Magic pierced the whole body of the Emperor.
The demon corps commander jumped in front of the emperor who was removing them one by one with his sword.
The red-skinned woman’s muscles on her limbs swelled rapidly, and she flew at terrifying speed using the wings of the film spread on her back.
The devil’s fists, feet, and whip-like tail pounded the emperor’s sword vigorously.
The emperor continued to be pushed back by the two monsters, who were working together from close and long distances, and eventually exposed a gap.
And the black dragon didn’t miss that gap.
Fuck!
When the black dragon lightly snapped his fingers, an invisible and intangible force poured out – digging into the part the emperor could not defend with his sword.
Pooh… … !
“… .”
The emperor blankly looked down at his chest.
Blood was gushing out like a fountain from the punctured chest.
The intangible power pierced a small hole in the middle of the chest, but pierced through the back and tore the emperor’s flesh to pieces. like a cannonball.
The emperor, who was pouring blood from his chest and back, slowly collapsed. The knee of a human who had never surrendered all his life finally reached the floor.
The emperor, who was coughing up blood through his nose and mouth, suddenly raised his head.
thud… . thud… . thud… .
south over the horizon.
A gigantic strange monster was appearing.
The magician, the demon corps commander, and the black dragon also knelt down on one knee in front of the newly appeared monster and showed their respect.
-It was a woman whose face was covered with a burnt-out Mourning Veil.
The skirt and sleeves of the dress she was wearing were also burnt, and the high crown on her head was also burnt and black.
Even her gray hair, which seemed to drag on the ground. The ends were burnt black.
In one hand, a longsword made of pitch-black darkness.
Faced with the approaching strongest and worst monster, the emperor muttered the opponent’s name with his bloody mouth.
“… ‘The Lake Princess Who Can’t Sleep’.”
A walking nightmare that single-handedly annihilated the Southern Front.
The worst monster with all the curses of the Lake Kingdom has finally descended to the last land of mankind.
Arriving in front of the emperor, the ‘sleepless lake princess’ stared at the emperor indifferently, then raised her hand with a sword –
Denggung… … .
He cut off the emperor’s head in one fell swoop.
The body of the emperor who had lost his head fell powerlessly to the side.
The last leader of mankind died like that.
“Abama… … !”
Watching this scene from the top of the castle wall, Fernandez shed bloody tears.
“AA AA AA… !”
It was helpless.
It was so powerless.
As the guardian of the empire. As the last wizard left in this world.
There was nothing that could be done.
The ‘sleepless lake princess’ who slaughtered the emperor raised her free hand, aimed at the southern gate of New Terra, and grabbed it tightly.
Quadruped!
Then, the gate was distorted and ripped out at once by black magic.
“Cuck!”
Fernandez, who was using defensive magic on the wall, couldn’t resist in front of that enormous power and fell backwards, coughing up blood.
When ‘The Lake Princess Who Can’t Sleep’ lightly brushed her hand aside, the ripped off castle gate rolled on the floor unsightly.
Humanity’s last line of defense collapsed in vain.
“… Is it my turn?”
And Lark, who had been waiting inside the castle gate with the loss of an arm and a leg, staggered to his feet using his longsword as a staff.
Towards Lark, Fernandez shouted from the top of the castle wall.
“older brother! No bro! Back off! That monster is unstoppable!”
“Fernandez… sorry. The reason things turned out this way is because this hyung was not good enough.”
Fernandez cried out anxiously, but Lark only smiled vaguely at the top of the castle wall.
“Let’s meet again in the underworld.”
And Lark roared and rushed at the monsters and
pew-!
In the next moment, it was shattered with one gesture from ‘The Lake Princess Who Can’t Sleep’. Drops of blood poured out like showers in all directions.
“older brother! Ah ah ah ah ah! older brother!”
Fernandez cried out with bloody tears.
In his ear,
“… Looks like we’re the only ones left.”
I heard my brother’s voice.
Looking back, the youngest of the guardians of the empire, the 3rd prince, was coming up the wall with a haggard expression. Fernandez absentmindedly called his brother’s name.
“ash… .”
“… .”
Ash glared at the monsters passing through the gates with eyes that sank like dust.
“Listen, Ash.”
Fernandez wiped the blood from his mouth and gathered his mana.
“I will hide you with my last strength. You too must survive and plan for the future.”
“… The world has perished bro. There is nowhere to hide or run.”
“But even you don’t have to live!”
Even if the mother who gave birth is different. they were brothers
In the final struggle to save the world, the guardians became true friends and finally became a family.
That’s why Fernandez tried to use the last of his strength for his brother.
but.
“I’m sorry bro. But in the next round.”
Clap!
Ash took out a pistol-type horse gun and pointed it at his own temple.
“In the next ‘game’, you must… I will save this world.”
“what?”
“This world repeats itself infinitely. And it always ends the same way.”
Saying that, Ash silently looked down at New Terra being devoured by monsters.
“I’ve only been to this ‘game’ a few times as a player yet, but by all means… … I can’t change the ending of the monster destroying the world.”
“Stop talking nonsense and put the gun down! It’s dangerous!”
Fernandez hurriedly put his hand forward. However, not listening, Ash smiled faintly.
“But I will change it. If the world repeats infinitely, we have that much opportunity.”
clap.
The safety of the pistol was disengaged and Ash’s hand gripped the trigger.
“Don’t do that, Ash.”
Trembling, Fernandez shook his head. There were even tears in his eyes.
“Don’t leave me here alone.”
“… .”
“Please Ash! You can’t do that if you die too. Our brothers and guardians must fight together… … !”
“You know what, brother?”
Ash chuckled and laughed.
“Hyung was a gisaeng brother who was proud and unlucky and had a taste for food… It was fun in its own way while fighting together.”
“ash! No-”
“Then see you again. brother.”
As Fernandez ran towards Ash, Ash quietly lowered his eyes.
“I’ll be sure to protect you next time.”
Taang-!
Blood was splattered in all directions.
Ash’s body fell forward, having committed suicide with a pistol.
Fernandez stumbled, unable to move a few steps, then knelt down and covered his mouth.
at last.
all those fights. all those struggles. all those sacrifices. was useless.
The Guardians have fallen and the world is doomed.
This was such an ending.
Then-
“Oops.”
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
“You are one step late.”
When Fernandez, surprised, looked there, a gray-haired man wearing an old robe flew from the sky and landed on the castle wall.
It was Aether, the prophet of the empire.
He inspected Ash’s corpse and sighed.
“Player Ash admitted defeat and committed suicide… It seems that this round has been won.”
Then
《If so, so are we.》
An extremely evil voice resounded in the air, and black shadows gathered in the empty sky- before long they changed into human shapes.
The lord of evil who creates and rules all monsters.
The demon king smiled, making a white crack in his black face.
《Shall we move on to the next game?》
And then.
all these sights.
“… .”
Fernandez just watched, dumbfounded.
