I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 503

◈ 503. [Free Exploration] Let’s go search for items (2)

.

Rob… … .

The SSR-grade item dropped by the last magic goblin was a robe, an equipment for wizards. It was a piece of equipment that looked very luxurious with gold embroidery on a black background.

Let’s see the name.

[Past Future (SSR)]

“What are you talking about?!”

I screamed in surprise.

It’s the judge’s ending armor [Past Future]!

The other stats of this robe are mediocre, but it has become the final armor with only one special option, which is the option that ‘can use future magic.’

– You can borrow and use magic 3 days from the current point in advance. The more horsepower you borrow, the more horsepower you have to repay after 3 days.

As much as I wrote, no more than I wrote, but I have to pay it back intact later. Being able to draw and use mana when in a hurry right now is a huge advantage.

Especially in this damn defense game, you often have to use all the means you have right away, and this robe is very useful because you can use more magic right away even if you get sick a few days later.

“… It’s not armor… … .”

Lucas looks down at the robe with melancholy eyes

.

Junior rushed in and snatched the robe.

In Junior’s eyes, for a moment, fearful materialistic desires overflowed… … right! He also had a golden light for negative traits because he resembled his mother!

Junior didn’t say a word and put the robe on himself with a nimble motion. Then, with an ecstatic expression, he turned around in place.

“It’s a beautiful night~”

As for the question, it’s still daytime outside… Well, it’s dark inside the dungeon… … .

And Lucas’s face was even darker than the dungeon. I couldn’t help but pat Lucas on the shoulder.

“Lucas. I told you earlier. I’m preparing your armor separately for you.”

Lucas looked at me with hopeful eyes again, but I decided to be honest.

“But I can’t get that equipment right away.”

Lucas’ Final Armor is an equipment that can be obtained in the deepest part of District 9.

Today, I was trying to get an armor that I could use until I got that armor, but anyway, I failed so spectacularly… … .

“therefore… Let’s make the armor we’re going to wear right now at the smithy.”

Currently, the routes that can craft equipment include Kelly Bay’s magic smithy and Crossroad’s general smithy.

It’s true that Kelly Bay’s Magic Forge has better quality on average, but it’s slower by default. In addition, orders for other equipment are now being placed.

On the other hand, the quality of crossroad general smithies is inferior to that of Kelly Bay, but the production speed is much faster. This is more suitable for Lucas who needs armor right now.

Yesterday’s crate kang also got a lot of SSR grade magic cores. It’s customizable, so you’ll be able to fill Lucas with just the options he needs.

Lucas seemed a bit disappointed, but when I calmed him down again, he soon returned to his resolute face.

“I understand, sir. I have been acting like a child.”

“no! I fully understand.”

Because everyone has a water bath. Actually, I didn’t say anything, but today I don’t have any equipment that I can use, so it’s a bit disappointing.

But even after I calmed down, Lucas closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

“I blame the equipment, covet the equipment… I guess I forgot my duty as a knight for a while. I’m sorry, lord. If it is a gift from Lord Lucas, I will wear it sweetly, even if it is a piece of rags.”

“No, no rags. I’ll make a new one at the forge… … .”

I imagined Lucas in rags for a moment. He said he had no face again and even wore that tin can helmet… … .

‘This is just a pervert.’

The other party members also soothed Lucas.

“Sure, Sir Lucas! Blacksmith-crafted armor would be great too!”

Junior smiled brightly from behind and shouted. But while saying that, it seems a bit deceptive as she dances flutteringly while wearing the SSR-grade robe she just got.

“that’s right! The blacksmith equipment of our Crossroads is also excellent!”

Damien said in a tone as if introducing a country specialty. But you also carry the [Venom Fang (SSR)] in your arms and the [Black Queen (SSR)] on your back.

Finally, Evangeline… … what?

Also, I thought maybe I would wear [Snow White] and tap dance, but surprisingly, I didn’t cheat anymore and stayed calm. There was only an inexplicable smile on his lips.

“Hmm, even if it’s a piece of rags, wear it sweetly… .”

Both Lucas and I looked at Evangeline laughing like that, terrified. what what why? why are you laughing like that

“Seniors. Today’s exploration doesn’t end with the goblin room, right?”

“uh? uh yeah Since I’ve been there, I’d like to explore more deeply… … .”

“But while exploring like that, Uncle Lucas won’t be able to go naked like he is now. I’ll have to put on the makeshift armor somehow.”

“yes… ?”

“I have a very good makeshift set of armor!”

Evangeline clapped her hands in delight.

“Great! I’ll lend it for free! Whoop whoop!”

temporary armor?

I didn’t understand right away, so I only blinked, but Lucas’ face went white.

“Wait a minute, I can’t believe that temporary armor… ?!”

***

“I knew this day would come and I kept it well-maintained!”

base camp. smithy.

When Evangeline, who rushed to Kelly Bay, asked for something, Kelly Bay took out a set of equipment from the smithy and thumped it on the table as if she had waited.

“It’s Bone Armor-!”

“… .”

Lucas exclaimed as he inspected the old bone armor of ignorant shapes placed in front of him one after another.

“No, this is what Evangeline wore before!”

It was the same armor of total defense that Evangeline had been wearing before Snow White.

“Don’t worry, the size has been readjusted to standard! If you’re going to wear it, I’ll adjust it right away!”

“No, that’s not the problem… … !”

Lucas trembled and tried to protest, but I smiled brightly and gave him a thumbs up.

“Good luck Lucas! Bourne Armor This performance is really good! There will be no problem until the new armor is completed!”

“Lord lord! that’s not the problem… … !”

At that time, Evangeline laughed evilly and pounded the armor with her hand.

“I hear you wear rags sweetly?”

“What?!”

“And what did everyone say when I received this armor? Was it cool? Were you close? Then Uncle Lucas would enjoy wearing this armor too, right? Is that right?”

Evangeline’s green eyes flashed fiercely. Standing in front of the old, musty-smelling bone armor, Lucas trembled, as if to ask you to go through the humiliation he had been through .

I patted Lucas on the back.

“I’m going to go a little deeper in my exploration today. For now, just wear it today, Lucas.”

“Hehehe… !”

Lucas, who was in conflict, eventually put on the Bone Armor, trembling.

‘and.’

In the meantime, I felt like a sophisticated and cool city knight, but when I put on the armor, I suddenly felt… Becoming like a primeval ancient jungle bandit.

I murmured softly without even realizing it.

“Clothes are really important, right? … .”

“Pu-huh!”

At that image gap, Evangeline couldn’t stand it and blew it out, and Damian and Junior desperately held back their laughter with blushing faces.

Finally, holding up a helmet made of dragon skulls, Lucas looked at me with pleading eyes. I nodded heavily.

“Performance first!”

Does luxuries save lives? Performance comes first!

In the end, Lucas, who even wore a bone helmet, became a hideous figure that was hardly suitable for a blonde-haired protagonist.

Besides, since it was originally worn by Evangeline, the armor is a bit small even after resizing… … .

‘If I had worn it like this during the broadcast of < Defend the Empire >, the viewers would have gone crazy.’

No matter how far you are from being rude and your fashion sense is devastating, I know this.

This… It’s a perverted look… … .

“… I’m sorry, Evangeline.”

When I apologized after belated reflection, Evangeline smiled and whispered.

“are you okay. Seeing Uncle Lucas do that, I can forgive everything.”

In the end, I wore a full set of bone armor.

For some reason, Lucas, who was very angry, drew his sword at once and roared.

“If it’s for the sake of my lord, this Lucas… … ! I’ll be more than happy to show off!”

No, I don’t think there’s anything that goes further than that… … .

I just thought about it and couldn’t get it out. Lucas continued to vomit and scream.

“Who is the monster to face this time?! I will kill them all!”

***

The monster corps of Stage 24 has already been confirmed by other parties’ autonomous exploration.

An army of monsters.

It’s time for the flying monster corps to return.

“These guys are good talkers, but their behavior is practically no different from a swarm of locusts.”

As I entered the depths of the dungeon, I explained the ecology and habits of the monster army.

“It’s a huge flock of magical mutant birds that will devour any creature in its path.”

It’s tough and big, it has the ability to regenerate itself, and it’s faster than anything else.

They are the fastest of all flying monsters.

It doesn’t have high or no specific resistance like gargoyles and dragons, but it’s a difficult enemy with only the combination of the two ‘flying’ and ‘fast’.

“So let’s clear a dungeon today and learn roughly how to deal with these guys.”

As I entered the 7th area of the dungeon, I continued my explanation.

“The dungeon we are going to this time is a small dungeon in District 7.”

Among the District 7 dungeons, it is a small dungeon with a limit of 5 people.

If it’s the 5 of us right now, which can be said to be the best, we should be able to break it without difficulty.

But just in case, I entered the dungeon after being careful and familiarizing myself with the tactics I had prepared to deal with them

. Caw!

Patter! Food Deok!

For some reason, the monsters in the dungeon were busy running away in a panic as soon as they encountered us.

“What are you guys doing?”

Puzzled, we caught the rogue birds one by one and slowly realized.

The monsters weren’t afraid of us.

I was afraid of Lucas… … .

“why… ?”

Lucas shook his shoulders.

“Are you saying that my appearance is terrifying even to monsters? … ?”

No, it’s a bit painful to look at, but it won’t have this kind of effect… … .

I was puzzled, and eventually, ah! It made a sound. It was because I realized the reason belatedly.

“Come to think of it, the Bone Armor is armor made from the bones of a subspecies of red dragon.”

I remembered how Kelly Bay had explained it to Evangeline when she received the armor.

“And it’s the red dragon that wiped out the monster army hundreds of years ago.”

“ah… !”

nemesis, so to speak. Among them, it is the predator that destroyed the species. It’s armor made from the bones of that red dragon… … .

“So you look like you’re leaving just by wearing that armor.”

This armor was an unexpected benefit.

I just left it on (and Evangeline was just trying to make fun of Lucas), but it really became an extreme performance item in the battle against the monster army.

It was so useful that even Lucas couldn’t complain about taking it off anymore.

“Haaaaaaa!”

Lucas roared and slashed hard at the monstrous birds running away from him. We followed quietly behind him.

‘This exploration is convenient… … .’

I was able to clear one of the dungeons in Area 7 without much difficulty.

***

“You have more time than I thought.”

I checked my pocket watch and fell into trouble.

The magic goblin room and this dungeon were cleared much faster than expected. There is still time to spare and the party has plenty of energy left.

“Shall we scout a little more?”

“Yes!”

“It’s a waste to come back like this because it’s so lively.”

The other party members agreed, and while I brought the most elite party members, I wanted to extract a little more efficiency, so I decided to conduct a little more reconnaissance deep into the dungeon.

This was a mistake.

Exit the safe area of the cleared dungeon and enter the back alley of Area 7, which is immersed in darkness. I walked forward for about 5 minutes.

Suddenly, Evangeline, who was walking in the forefront holding a torch, slowly stopped.

“Evangeline?”

When asked curiously, Evangeline slowly looked around with frowning eyes and spoke softly.

“Isn’t something strange?”

“what?”

“Darkness… .”

At that moment, the wind touched my cheek.

“… It is too dark.”

Whoa –

there was a sound like someone exhaling cold breath.

and the next moment.

hook.

turned off

a torch.

It wasn’t just the torches. The lanterns held by other party members and the torches with undying blue flames held in my hands… … .

all.

A light that has never been turned off since entering this dungeon for the past two years… … all of a sudden disappeared

At that moment, I suddenly remembered.

The advice I gave when I first came to this dungeon.

– Never turn off the lights.

The light has gone out of the world.

“No way-”

The next moment.

Shoot

me before I can even say anything

A suffocating darkness with substance all around… … It came crashing down on us like a tidal wave.
