I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 489

◈ 489. [STAGE 23] Dark Cloud (2)

The next day. afternoon.

The weather was gloomy as thick dark clouds obscured all the sun.

Kugung… … ! Kugu Palace… … !

In this dark hour, Gorgon’s nest was preparing to bloom again.

The entire nest vibrates thinly, scattering sand dust in all directions. Medusa, who had finished her sister predation, would soon appear.

Human heroes gathered in front of the nest.

I tried to recover my condition in less than a day, but the limit was clear. The heroes untied their unfree bodies wrapped in bandages with tired faces.

A party of 5 with these heroes at the center.

The improvised party, made up of Lucas Torkel, Zenith Warlock, and Blind Swordsman, naturally came together today.

Zenith spat out while adjusting her posture in preparation for the soon-to-be-started battle.

“By the way, would you like to call our party name ‘The Uncles’?”

“What’s the name of the party that smells like that… … ?”

The warlock was fed up.

But the blind swordsman nodded.

“Come to think of it, all the members are uncles? Hey, do you suddenly feel a sense of identity?”

“Yesterday, Lily-nim saw us and said that, too, ‘Misters’… … Intuitive.”

Thorkell spat out calmly.

But Lucas’ shoulders trembled in shock.

“… No, I’ve been hearing that you’re an uncle since yesterday. I am not an uncle. It means that you are still in your early 20s.”

I’m strangely hurt by Evangeline’s bullying about the age difference.

Do you mean we have to be grouped into one category among these real men?

The blind swordsman clicked his tongue at Lucas.

“hey. Listen carefully. Handsome young man. Men in the world are one of two things. Either you are an uncle or you are going to be an uncle.”

“That can’t be… ! I will never be an uncle!”

Seeing Lucas declare a futile resistance, the other four men giggled. Because they used to think that way too.

Koo Goo Goo!

At that time, the nest vibrated once loudly.

It was a signal that an enemy monster would appear soon. The exchange of jokes stopped and the heroes raised their weapons with tense faces.

Lucas looked to the side. Evangeline, who commands the rest of the heroes, nodded towards Lucas.

“I am ready!”

“good… .”

Lucas raised his voice and shouted.

“Don’t forget everyone! We’re not aiming to kill this monster! Scattered throughout the city, it’s just wasting time… … !”

The heroes nodded in turn.

Lucas, who suppressed his helmet, shouted again.

“Okay, start the operation! spread… … .”

However, the order to ‘spread’ was not delivered.

Hey hey hey!

Inside the collapsing nest, in a thick cloud of dust, it was because the demonic eye with terrifying momentum shot like a bullet.

Quadduk! Quadd Deuk!

“What a petrifying evil eye… ?!”

“Too fast-”

“Ouch!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh?!”

The Mystic Eye of the Stone Flower, launched like a surprise attack, was incomparably quicker than the previous one, and the range was twice as wide.

Except for a few heroes who lifted mirror shields by a short distance, all of them were swept away by the demon. The heroes turned to stone and screamed.

“Damn it… .”

Among allies who had become stone statues, Lucas trembled.

oh oh oh… … .

Through the dust clouds, Medusa… … A complete Gorgon has appeared.

The Medusa, rising slightly from the ground and flying, had a much larger, more hideous, and more terrifying appearance.

The snakes hanging from their heads were entangled and tied behind them like a huge one, and the rocky carapace was tightly attached to the limbs that were thick like logs.

Under the pair of wings attached to its back, a pair of tails covered with animal fur were wriggling.

Gray sand swayed incessantly beneath his huge, open, gray eyes.

His long, torn mouth reached below his ears, and three long tongues flicked in his mouth.

It overflowed with wickedness that seemed to taint the mind just by looking at it through a mirror.

Lucas drew his sword, frowning.

“Operations do not change… ! Spread the power! Take your time-”

《No.》

Then Medusa muttered briefly.

《The tag game is over now.》

Medusa waved her hand lightly.

Koo Goo Goo Goo!

Then, rocks surrounded the area and rose like a wall.

Lucas was speechless. The manned operation, which was intended to spread throughout the city, was blocked from the basic premise.

《You will die here.》

Kung… … !

Medusa cried out bitterly as she took a heavy step forward.

“I know of your death, the destruction of people… ! I will dedicate my poor sisters to repose of their souls!”

***

The final heroes of the Crossroads have been wiped out.

In the meantime, the reason they were able to hold out against the Gorgon sisters was thanks to the space of street fighting, where they could easily avoid the evil eye of petrification.

However, Medusa had limited the space and had no ability to withstand when she attacked with her magical eyes with overwhelming range and speed in the narrow space surrounded by walls.

One by one, the heroes were petrified and fell… … In the end, only Lucas and Evangeline stood on their own two feet.

“ha… ! ha… !”

Evangeline let out a heavy breath.

Not only did she use her ultimate skill [Last Fortress], but she held up a shield to protect other heroes throughout the battle and took the lead in taking Medusa’s attack.

As a result, it has now exhausted almost all of its strength. Evangeline had a hunch that she would not be able to move a few more times.

《You can’t run anymore, can you see, human?》

Medusa spread her wings toward Evangeline and flew up and landed from the sky.

Kyaaaaaaa-!

Fierce sound waves poured out of the monster’s gaping mouth, and

bla bla bla… … !

The sound wave shattered all the ice mirrors on Evangeline’s shield.

“Ugh?!”

Evangeline groaned as she lost the means of defense to offset the petrification’s evil eye. And Medusa did not miss that opportunity.

Kiyiying!

Medusa, who attacked like a bomber, flashed the evil eye of petrification. Evangeline gritted her teeth.

grasp-!

And Lucas, who rushed at Evangeline from the side, pushed her away with his foot.

Lucas’ urgent kick touched Evangeline’s shield, and Evangeline was quickly pushed back, barely out of range of Medusa’s petrification.

But Lucas was placed right in front of Medusa’s eyes. And Lucas’s mirror shield was already smashed.

“Uncle Lucas!”

Hearing Evangeline’s screams, Lucas laughed.

“… You only have one chance, lady.”

Quad deuk… … !

Lucas was turned to stone.

Evangeline, who was all round, stood up from her seat with gritting teeth. Medusa rose up into the sky again and was orbiting the sky.

《To be petrified instead is a tearful comradeship.》

When Medusa sneered, Evangeline flashed her fangs and laughed at her face to face.

“Would you just like your sister-in-law who eats the corpses of your sisters?”

《… This cheeky gore… … .》

The trembling Medusa roared and fell down.

“Don’t talk nonsense about our sisters without knowing anything!”

Evangeline put the ice on her shield again, pushing it forward and driving it firmly into the ground without erasing her cheeky smile.

“It’s the same with you who don’t know anything about us and want to destroy us… !”

“I don’t know why I don’t know! About you humans – I know it so well!]

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Medusa used the same tactics as before. First, it fired a powerful sound wave.

With Chaengguk… … !

The ice on Evangeline’s shield shattered all at once. The shattered ice cast a hazy rainbow in the air in an instant.

Kiyiying!

Medusa once again activated the petrification eye and drew closer to Evangeline.

He planned to turn a useless shield into a block of stone and even end this little human hiding behind it.

But

< ... ... ?!” There was none. There was no one behind the shield that quickly turned to stone. 《What?》 The perplexed Medusa urgently turned her head to look around— and found it. Taat-! A human knight who burrows into his side. Evangeline had put a shield in the ground as a bait and escaped right to the side in the gap where the ice was shattered by the sound wave and her eyesight was blurred. “This time... waited!” Evangeline's green eyes flashed brightly. The huge cavalry spear in her right hand glowed dazzlingly. It was [Damage payback]. [Damage Save], which blocks and stores the damage inflicted by enemies with a shield, [Damage Payback], which emits stored damage through a window. This is the battle method of a shield lancer named Evangeline who uses both offense and defense. During the last few days of fighting, Evangeline received damage from enemies through [Damage Save] and saved damage, but never used [Damage Payback]. Even though the storage capacity has already increased to the limit through awakening, and the capacity has been filled up by using [Last Fortress] to take damage from allies instead. Not once has this energy been fired at an enemy. All for this one moment... ... ! 'Squeezing to the limit of the limit and collecting it!' A truly lethal blow! “Feed it- Jumaaaaa!” Sparks rose from the back of the huge lance. The spirit of the flame enchanted in the cavalry spear sprayed flames and added momentum. Evangeline was sure. This attack- works! slippery "uh?" and that moment. Evangeline's posture collapsed. Evangeline hurriedly looked down. A piece of ice broke from the ice shield and lay beneath her feet. It slipped because of this. Ankle was broken. posture has collapsed. Evangeline staggered absurdly... ... “Do you think I- would make a mistake like this?!” ... Didn't fall. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Stepping on the ice and breaking it, Evangeline took a strong step inside. Already in the second half of the second year. Evangeline had long since escaped her mistakes-filled childhood, and her full-blown skills were at their peak. Evangeline miraculously recovered her broken posture. Then he gritted his teeth and threw out the spear. 《Heuk?!》 Medusa hurriedly spread her wings and tried to get out of the range of the attack, but- Fuuuuuuuu! Evangeline's cavalry spear followed like a guided missile and pierced Medusa's abdomen. And Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwang! It exploded. Literally exploded. Throughout this battle, all the damage accumulated to the limit with [Damage Save] exploded with a single [Damage Payback]. With the explosion, Medusa's abdomen turned to dust. The cracked upper and lower parts of the body completely fell apart. Evangeline was confident with her overwhelming touch. 'I've done it!' ... If it were a normal creature, it would have been. It was so powerful that it could have killed him instantly, and it was a wound. But “... ?!” Medusa, who became the perfect Gorgon, was a monster whose entire body was made of rock. Medusa floated in the air, spilling dirt like blood from her cracked upper body. No entrails were spilled, no bones were broken. just got a hole in it “What is this... .” “It was really quite human.” Medusa lifted her long mouth and smiled. 《If I hadn't eaten my two older sisters, I would have died in that attack just now.》 “This monster son-” 《Sounds like a new thing.》 Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Medusa used the Mystic Eye of Petrification. And Evangeline had no more means of evasion. Even Evangeline hardened into stone while holding on to a dejected smile. 《... Have you defeated them all?] Medusa looked around. No more moving humans. 《Is humanity's frontline too far here?》 Medusa picked up her broken lower body and stuck it between her upper body and her upper body. Stones and sand flew in from the surroundings and attached to the wound, connecting the upper and lower halves. The rough recovery is over. Medusa raised her eyes fiercely. “I will make all of you suffer the pain I suffered.” Now that the walls of humanity have been broken down, it is time to destroy people in earnest. 《My resentment for having to be born under this curse because of a sin I didn't commit... ... You all feel like turning to stone... ... .》 To the north of this front. To destroy all humans... ... . It was then that Medusa, having made up her mind, tried to turn around without regret. “Hey monster.” A voice was heard. “It is too early to leave. There are still humans here.” 《... ?!” Medusa looked at her in confusion. I saw a human staggering to his feet in the distance. A champion helmet with a laurel wreath engraved on it, a large right-angled square shield, and holding a mace. The sole survivor of the Leper Slaughterhouse. It was Thorkel. "I... This is the end of the battle line here.” With his half-petrified body, he inhaled stone dust and squeezed out his hoarse voice. Torkel declared. “Still Crossroads... I'm fighting against you!”
