I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 487
◈ 487. [STAGE 23] Sid (3)
The three sisters grew up caring for each other.
Although Steno and Euryale did not blame Medusa, Medusa always felt sorry for her two older sisters.
Because she was born with a curse, so her sisters lived a miserable life.
I wonder if the unnies will resent themselves… … I was anxious.
So I looked up at the stars and made a wish.
He put his hands together and earnestly repeated to the stars a wish he could not tell anyone.
One day when I made a wish like that every day
– You have something to wish for, baby?
The presence appeared.
It was a night when the two older sisters fell asleep early from exhaustion after fishing.
On this day, Medusa secretly left the house alone and sat down on the beach, looking up at the Milky Way and making a wish.
Then the existence descended.
The one who descended on the starlight was someone wearing a black robe. The androgynous voice sounded like that of a newborn baby or that of an old man on the brink of death.
– I heard your prayers and came. i think i can help you
It was the first time I had talked to anyone other than my sisters. Medusa hesitated and asked cautiously.
– Who are you?
– I am the messenger of those stars. Because you always see us, I came to hear your story.
A black shadow grinned in the robe.
– Do you want anything? tell me I can help.
Medusa, who was staring blankly at him, spat out as if possessed.
– I want to be like my older sisters.
– Same look?
– yes. I hate being stared at because I’m different from my older sisters. I hate it when my sisters suffer because of my cursed appearance… … I want to be like my older sisters.
Then, Rob’s presence readily nodded.
– Okay, grant me your wish.
– yes?
– It’s not that difficult. Come on!
match! match! match!
The Robe’s presence clapped loudly three times and then pointed to the three sisters’ cabin not far away.
– Go home and get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow morning everything will be as you wished.
Medusa, standing up from her seat, bowed to the being and ran toward her house.
I couldn’t believe all of those shadows, but a ray of hope sprouted in the heart of the young monster.
maybe really
Tomorrow, he won’t be like this hideous monster… … The hope that I might be able to live as a beautiful human being like my older sisters.
The hope that this curse inherited from my parents may be gone… … .
… .
But what Medusa woke up the next morning found
– kyaaaaaaagh!
They were two older sisters who turned into monsters with the same appearance as themselves.
Both Steno and Euryale’s limbs were twisted hideously, and their hair turned into snakes.
The small lips that sang the lullaby were torn for a long time and fangs sprouted, and the eyes that looked at her with affection became blurry with the energy of petrification.
As Medusa watched this spectacle in a daze, she heard laughter in her ears.
– Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!
It was the presence of Rob who opened the cabin door and entered.
– Congratulations Medusa! I sincerely congratulate you!
The whole body of the being with the robe hood off was made up of shadows.
Made up of black shadows, he was laughing with his mouth wide open like a white blank.
– With this, your wish has come true!
– no… This is not my wish.
Medusa pounced on the being, grabbed his collar and begged.
– Return the older sisters to their original form! This… That’s not what I wanted!
– What are you talking about, Medusa. This was your real wish.
The being didn’t stop laughing.
– This is the darkness in your heart that you have been praying for while looking up at the sky every night!
– no… .
– Jealousy and anger towards the beautiful sisters unlike you… … I want all other beings to become ugly monsters like you. Is this your real wish?
– no! I never wished for anything like this! I am… !
Medusa glared at the being with trembling eyes.
– you are… What is it?
The existence shrugged
– the owner of the devil monkey hand that made it come true, the constellation that jumped… . I have a lot of nicknames.
He raised the corners of his white lips and smiled wickedly.
– … A lot of people called me the devil.
– Devil… ?
– Who I am is not more important right now, right?
The demon king chined in the direction of the two older sisters.
The process of transformation was already coming to an end.
Steno and Euryale, who had lost all human form before they knew it, desperately pursed their lips as they looked at Medusa.
– Medusa My baby has something to say… … .
I struggled with my breathless throat to convey something to my brother.
– What I must tell you… … .
– … Kruck.
He spat out a monster’s voice like boiling blood.
Before long, the two sisters’ eyes lost their sense of humor and they became muddled.
What remains there… … There were only two other monsters that looked like Medusa.
– iced coffee… .
In front of her two older sisters who became monsters after being subjected to the same curse as herself.
– Aaaaaaaa!
Medusa screamed.
There was nothing to do but scream.

《Kreuk Kreuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
.
keying! Keyiing… … !
The energy of petrification poured out from the two eyes that had been slashed out, petrifying the surroundings indiscriminately. However, the momentum was gradually weakening.
Five men stood in front of Steno.
Lucas Torkel Zenith Warlock Blind Swordsman.
Naturally, the organization ended as a party and they prepared for battle.
“His petrifying demonic eye has been sealed.”
Lucas glared at Steno. The Mystic Eye of Petrification had completely lost its power and could no longer turn the surroundings into stone.
Lucas lightly threw aside the mirror shield he no longer needed and grabbed his sword with both hands.
“You don’t have to worry about petrification anymore. But don’t be offended-”
Lucas hadn’t even finished speaking.
Steno slowly removed his hands from his eyes, lifted his dazed face, looked around, and
fixed
his head precisely to the north.
It was the direction Lily had fled on the golem.
“baby… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
!
After kicking off the ground, Steno started charging.
Despite losing an eye, on the contrary, the momentum of the charge was much stronger than before. Blocking his way, the five heroes gnashed their teeth.
“Huh-!”
First, Thorkel stood in front of Steno, holding a shield.
Kwajik-!
However, Steno powerfully pushed Thorkel’s shield away from his shoulder and pierced Thorkel’s block.
Torkel tried to hold on somehow, but his natural strength was different.
“Ahh… !”
In the end, Thorkel was thrown out of the shield.
But thanks to that, the momentum of the rush died. Next, the black magician and the blind swordsman attacked Steno from left and right.
“You can’t see anything, you blind child!”
“Isn’t that what you mean to me? Are you talking to him?!”
The black magic and slashes hit Steno accurately.
However, Steno covered himself with both arms and blocked the attack.
He continued to charge without caring whether his right arm was burned by the black flame or his left arm fell off from the sword strike.
“uh… .”
“this.”
The two standing in the rushing path hurriedly rolled left and right to avoid it, but
«Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!»
Steno emitted a sound wave and sent the two flying.
The warlock and the blind swordsman vomited blood and rolled on the floor.
Afterwards, Zenith, who was covered in holy power armor, and Lucas, who drew a sword of light, blocked Steno’s path.
Whoa!
Lucas was in a state where he had even activated his ultimate skill, [Descent of the World]. I was thinking of putting an end to Steno here.
However, Steno snatched and grabbed Janice, who rushed in first, and then pushed him in front of Lucas, who was attacking him one after another.
“What?!”
Lucas had to put his sword back in a hurry, and the gap was exposed.
Steno swung Janice and threw it at Lucas. Both were swept away by Steno’s power and each other’s weight.
《Kreuk Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … .》
When Steno, who thought he had eliminated all the obstacles, tried to kick the ground again.
“Don’t be ridiculous, monster.”
Thorkel again.
Thorkel, who had fallen first, stood in front of Steno again.
“We’ll play with you until you get tired.”
Behind Thorkel, the other four heroes staggered and stood up again.
Everyone had nosebleeds, cracked lips, and bruised faces, but in the end they stood in front of the monster.
Then
«Don’t disturb.»
Stheno opened his long torn mouth and uttered the first sentence.
“To my baby… What to say… … .》
Rock armor sprouted all over Steno’s body, and right after that, Steno looked ahead and vomited a terrible sound wave.
《There is it!》
The five heroes grabbed their weapons and jumped at the monster again. Lucas roared like a lion.
“I can’t pass by!”
***
Crossroads. North.
The golem waddled along the road carrying two people.
Due to the nature of golems, they were large and heavy, so strictly speaking, their speed was slower than that of ordinary people.
However, there was no transportation like this now to move Lily, who could not use her legs.
“Originally, I was just going to run away!”
The Golem Master had a relaxed expression.
She looked at Sid’s sleeping face as if he was going to die of cuteness. Sid was fast asleep in Lily’s arms.
“By the way, what the hell is this guy’s human feelings… A monster goes to a newborn baby, how can you run away when you see it? I ended up joining.”
Lily bowed her head.
“thank you so much.”
“Ah, thank you. It was a natural thing to do as a human being. It’s okay, so if you get out of here safely, raise the kids well… … .”
After speaking, the Golem Master stunned and looked back.
“… what.”
thud… ! thud… ! thud… !
The north gate of the castle, which had been closed, shook violently and
thumped!
It was ruthlessly crushed.
And the one that jumped out was Steno.
The monster’s body was in tatters as if it had been in a fierce battle.
He had no legs, his side was missing, and his chest was hollowed out. The neck was cut in half and tattered.
Then, grotesquely balanced with that scarred body, it rushed forward again.
“What crazy! damn damn damn… … !”
The golem master panicked and tried to speed up the golem, but realized there was no proper way. So,
“Get on and go!”
He shouted and jumped off the golem.
The golem continued to run along the road, and the golem master, gritting his teeth, stood in the way of Steno. Embarrassed, Lily exclaimed.
“Don’t do that, avoid it! That monster made me… … They’re after my child! It’s okay if you avoid it-”
“Do you know what a sunk cost is?”
Steno got closer in an instant. The golem master made a new golem with materials around him while shaking.
“If you lose money at the gambling table. It’s a waste of the lost money, so I pour the next money again. Even though I know it’s money that I can’t find anyway. I was embarrassed by this.”
“… .”
“What can I do? I’ve already poured all my money into this plate.”
Koo Goo Goo!
A new golem made of earth stood up and blocked the path. The Golem Master shouted.
“I have to go after the dog hair and the remaining change!”
Kwakwang-!
Steno attacked and shattered the newly created golem.
The Golem Master flew helplessly like a puppet with a string cut off and landed in a ditch next to it.
Lily couldn’t even scream. Steno jumped up before he knew it and reached right in front of Lily.
bang! Wood deok!
Steno lightly kicked the leg, and Lily and Sid’s golem collapsed, losing its lower half.
Lily hugged Sid and rolled on the floor. Surprised by the sudden situation, Sid burst into tears.
Mmm… … ! Mmm… … !
《… .]
Standing in front of him blankly, Stheno looked down at Sid.
You wouldn’t be able to see anything with your destroyed eyes. He was looking exactly in the direction Sid was crying, as if he had some sight left.
Is it an illusion?
Lily saw Steno’s empty gaze… … I thought it was somehow sad.
《… Ah go.”
A human voice leaked from the monster’s mouth.
《There was something I always wanted to tell you.》
Lily involuntarily stopped her hand from pouring fire magic.
Steno spat out with an indistinct pronunciation, but desperately.
《Your birth is not a curse.》
“… .”
“We don’t blame you.”
Lily didn’t know who the monster was talking to.
“We were happy that you came to us… uh. You were a great blessing to us.”
But I understood instinctively.
《Baby.》
This monster too… … The fact that I was a single mother who raised a child.
《Thank you for being born.》
A child who is persecuted and pointed at just for being born in this world… … that she was a mother.
“This world is cruel, but it is also full of beautiful things… .”
Steno’s hand slowly stretched forward. There were no fingers left in the monster’s metal hand.
Lily didn’t stop it.
《May your future life be filled with joy as much as the joy you gave us… … .》
Tok.
Steno’s fingertips touched Sid’s forehead.
Sid was not crying before he knew it. He opened his large light green eyes and looked up clearly at the face of the monster who had reached out to him.
The monster was laughing.
Like the distant past.
As if I felt relieved after conveying everything I wanted to say to my younger sister who raised me like a daughter… … .
《I will bless you.》
And
taat-!
“Get down!”
Lucas, who ran from behind Steno with a bloody appearance, threw out a blade of light.
Lily hugged Sid and closed her eyes.
Steno did not dodge.
Denggung… … !
The monster’s head, which had been cut cleanly, flew into the sky.
