I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 516
◈ 516. [STAGE 25] A player’s position
The midnight sun is a formidable enemy.
In the game, the specs were truly terrifying, so when I settled down and poured firepower, the walls of the crossroads would laughably melt.
Of course, the lives of the people standing on the walls evaporated as well.
However, the game exists to be attacked. There is no perfect enemy. In other words, there is always a gap to dig into.
Midnight’s weakness in the game was that it was ‘vulnerable to mental abnormality attacks’.
This is quite surprising considering that normal wizard class characters have strong mental defenses.
‘Did my durability get tattered because I kept copying and pasting my mind?’
Until this unexpected weakness became widely known through strategy information, Midnight Night was called the Wailing Wall for the third year.
After the strategy information became known, it was said that the number of users who succeeded in clearing by twisting their body somehow increased by using this point.
Of course, it is only that they are ‘relatively’ vulnerable to mental abnormalities, and this cannot be used as a final blow.
For example, you can apply status abnormalities such as the check phrases ‘confusion’ and ‘madness’, but it does not take the deciding phrase ‘mind control’.
‘What kind of boss correction is hanging at will… … .’
When playing a game, I felt that it was a reasonable balance adjustment because I shouldn’t have a high-ranking boss leave in one mind control room, but I only think it’s expedient when I encounter it in reality. Ah, just let me use my mind control!
Anyway- So, in the game, to deal with Midnight, a character specializing in mental attacks was always developed.
If there was a character such as a wizard specializing in mental abnormalities or a cursor that casts curses, it was possible to continue attacking while weakening it by inflicting mental abnormalities.
However, in order to weaken or whatever the boss skill, you have to fight head-on in the end, and then you have to be prepared for damage.
Even in a weakened state, the Midnight Sun summoned its huge eyes, used instant kills every few turns, and inflicted wide-area damage with amulet bombardment, covering the field with darkness and fearing allies who approached the dark field.
Of course, the attack is fierce and the casualties are bound to be enormous. In the game, more than 30% of the total strength of the crossroads was usually lost in midnight battles.
What if it goes beyond that? game over what
The margin of damage is 30%. In other words, at least 30% damage was always a strong enemy to be prepared for.
‘So I take a detour.’
On our side, there are no wizards or cursors that cast mental abnormalities, but there is a party gambling club specializing in utilities that can be used instead.
However, the problem with Gamble Club is that it is not a combat character.
He is versatile, but his fighting skills are poor. Even if you meet the weakest trash mob, you can only hunt it if you fight bloody battles.
It is self-evident that if he were to be put into the battlefield, he would be melted down by indiscriminate magic or a flash of light before he could do anything against the midnight sun.
‘So the top priority is to make sure the Gamble Club can safely access Midnight!’
It was a long story, but anyway, that’s how I came up with it!
“This is a surprise party!”
1. The Gamble Club can approach the White Night without a fight,
2. Let the White Night stand right in the middle of our siege, and
3. It can even catch the enemy off guard.
Operation Surprise Party is such a profitable operation in terms of king theory!
“… But on the contrary.”
Lucas, who was quietly standing next to me, responded coldly.
“Isn’t it the distance where the Gamble Club could die at the touch of the midnight sun, and the enemy monster corps commander entered the center of our headquarters without resistance? Besides, will the enemy be vigilant? … .”
Damn that’s a sharp rebuttal. I clicked my tongue bitterly and looked around.
Hotel Cross Road Party Hall, decorated as a banquet hall.
Lucas dressed in a light brown suit. And Evangeline, dressed in a fluttering pale yellow dress, stands on either side of me as if escorting me.
I looked at them alternately and blew a whistle.
“Come to think of it, I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you guys dressed up like this, right? Does it look good on you?”
“Since we were having a party all of a sudden, I hurriedly took out the formal dress I had made before and put it on… it’s a bit small I must have grown a bit taller.”
Lucas, who was embarrassed by my praise, suddenly came to his senses.
“Kuhm! Anyway, isn’t this operation too gambling-like, my lord?”
“You take the risk. If the scam show using the gamble club is successful, the benefits it will bring are too great.”
Looking inside the well-decorated party hall, I replied calmly.
That’s right, if you compete head-to-head, you can clear it stably. But usually you lose 30% of your allies.
Is it reasonable to kill 30% of allies’ lives to kill the 3rd rank corps commander? Is it a reasonable cost?
… Maybe. In addition, since the number of troops on the World Defense Front will be expanded in the future, maybe 30% of the lives that are being paid now may be too cheap to look back on later.
But if there is another way.
Maybe if there was a way to lose even a little less of our allies’ lives. Even if the path is a bit bizarre, if there is sufficient possibility.
Of course, wouldn’t it be worth walking?
“Anyway, that way is a party.”
Dressed in a fluttering pale yellow dress, Evangeline looked like a chick. I thought he was a bit taller, but his mental age is the same, so he still bounces around.
“I think you are a very smart person… .”
Evangeline looked at me as I ate a bunch of snacks in my arms.
“Can I be honest?”
“When were you not honest? say.”
“It is extraordinary, but sometimes it exceeds the scope of the extraordinary by the size of a piece of paper, so what to say… .”
“… Are you like a retard?”
“yes! That’s it! Do you know yourself well?”
Evangeline nodded her head. Evangeline continued talking to me who smiled.
“… More than anything, I’m a little… … I feel uncomfortable.”
“Are you feeling uneasy?”
“Anyway, Mr. Black Night or Mr. Soya, you’ve been working for us until now, right?”
Evangeline’s mouth slowed as she chewed on the snack.
“Yeah, of course, senior’s information has never been wrong… Because of the yet to come ‘possibility’ of attacking us, to hit those who helped us… … I wonder if it’s really the right thing.”
“… .”
“No, of course I know! They are monsters. It’s the Undead Lich Corps. but… I don’t know anymore.”
Even in front of our staring eyes, Evangeline did not back down and steadfastly expressed her opinion.
“Until we fight together on the front lines here, neither elves nor dwarves nor beastmen nor mermaids… He was as distant as a monster to me. But now, regardless of birth, we are fighting together on the same side, right?”
“… .”
“Isn’t it the same with monsters? If they really want to stand by us, can’t we be allies?”
Evangeline’s words suddenly crossed the mind of the succubus queen, Salome.
Goblin God King Alexander as well.
okay. There was definitely room for dialogue with them. And they became, or almost became, friends.
“… okay. You’re right, Evangeline.”
Evangeline is right. What matters is not what birth is.
The criterion that separates humans from monsters is whether they can make an effort to understand each other.
“So I’m going to give you another chance.”
“A chance?”
“okay. Are you really willing to stand by our side?”
I chuckled.
“Or is it all just a smoke screen and will eventually attack us. I’m going to test it.”
In the game, whether it’s black night or shooting – the wizard called White Night was a monster who eventually betrayed us.
But as Evangeline said, so far both of them are only helping us.
I trust the information in the game, but there is no law saying there won’t be another case like Salome.
So, I’m going to do a test of both sides.
It will depend on the result. Will this place really become a party that strengthens harmony among allies?
Or will it be a bloody ball of betrayal and stabbing each other.
This is such a place.
“We just fight with all our might as our lord tells us. but.”
Lucas looked around the inside of the party with a calm gaze.
“Will this be enough to prepare for an emergency?”
Inside the party, my subordinate heroes are dressed up in suits and dresses and are waiting everywhere.
Everyone seemed to be clearly aware that it was a time of war, but there was a clear tension on their faces… … It was a nice outfit that is hard to see normally, so apart from everyone being nervous, it was fun to look at.
“Yes, the tactic to prepare for various situations that the lord has told us about has been trained by everyone. But to be honest… … The magician’s power is mighty.”
“… .”
“If it becomes a head-to-head match, we may suffer painful damage with our power.”
“Don’t worry too much.”
In the worst case, if the situation flows in an honest fight, you will have to take more than 30% of the damage to your allies.
I didn’t like that either, so I put a lot of effort into Plan B. I smiled and looked towards the entrance of the party hall.
“That’s why I have insurance.”
I thought it was time to come soon, but sure enough.
“Attention please!”
At the entrance, the servant who called the high-ranking guests by name raised his voice.
Since many of the heroes of this place are fallen kings, the servant has shouted their names quite a number of times.
But this time, a name that no one had heard before came out.
“You are the rightful heir of the Lake Kingdom, the legitimate spokesperson, watcher and guardian! The Princess of the Lake!”
Everyone in the seat was puzzled by the name he heard for the first time.
I was the only one who was waiting for the other person to smile.
“Nameless is entering!”
And the lake princess entered the party.
again. again.
As she entered the room with the sound of her shoes, the sound of people in the party hall swallowing their breath reverberated one after another like dominoes.
I also broke out in a cold sweat because I was dumbfounded. what.
Even though she was unrecognisably beautiful after being washed and wiped before, this time she is participating as a representative of the Lake Kingdom… … I had the maids decorate it.
‘Are you human?’
Her white hair, as white as snow, was neatly tidied up and tied back, and her pale skin, which did not receive light, was lightly made up to bring out the color of her blood.
Long, well-groomed eyelashes in blue-green eyes as clear as a lake. Under the coolly stretched nose, thick lips with balgan lipstick.
Like the representative of the Lake Kingdom, the color of the dress is light blue mixed with a little green. A gold and red crown on her head. A long scepter made of jade in his hand.
‘It looks like a porcelain doll… … ?’
If it’s this beautiful, you’ll just see it as if you were looking at a piece of art, not the opposite sex.
Moo-myeong, who entered the room wearing low-heeled shoes, was embarrassed by the bewitched gazes of the people, but soon showed her respect and greeted the people around her.
Then he came towards me with a quick jerk. Moo-myeong asked me, grinding his teeth with a slightly reddened face.
“… Did you write that introduction, Ash?”
“Of course I wrote it.”
I shrugged.
“Are there any mistakes?”
“… no no.”
The heroes who had fought in the dungeon together came running from all directions in surprise at the shameless unknown with their heads covered.
“and… ! Anonymous sister! Decorating is so cool! Decorate it in the future!”
“No, Nameless-nim, are you a member of the royal family?!”
“That’s also from the Lake Kingdom?! Why didn’t you tell me!”
“No, that… .”
An unknown who is bewildered surrounded by other heroes.
I looked at him happily, and I glanced at Lucas.
“How about my secret weapon is unknown.”
“Certainly a user with great beauty… No, you are a force user.”
Lucas swallowed his saliva and looked at me.
“… By the way, lord.”
“huh?”
“If it’s not my mistake, the lord didn’t call the nameless for insurance… … .”
Lucas narrowed his eyes.
“Isn’t the reason why this party was held because of Nameless?”
“… uh?”
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Why is this Golden Retriever so quick-tempered sometimes… … ?
It was then.
“Attention please!”
The servant at the entrance of the party shouted in a trembling voice unlike a moment ago.
“The descendant of the disappeared Eastern Continent, the owner of the Magic Tower in the Lake Kingdom, and the third rank leader of the Nightmare Corps, who promised to form an alliance with mankind! The protagonist of this party!”
A cold silence descended on the party hall, which had been noisy due to the appearance of an unknown person, as if it had been promised.
“The Midnight Sun is entering!”
And with her name being called, she came into the party.
The blue-skinned Jiangshi Archmage dressed in a tight-fitting oriental-style dress that reveals her voluptuous figure.
And 10 other jiangshi-bodied riches, dressed in oriental-style black uniforms that reveal their muscular bodies, followed her.
With the appearance of 11 undead monsters, the party quickly became chilly.
As if enjoying the frozen air, the midnight sun covered her mouth with a fan and laughed.
Beep.
I manipulated the micro-artifact-communicator that hung on my ear.
“Hogu has entered.”
Among the heroes dressed in nervous suits and
dresses- 5 gamblers from the gamble club, dressed as waiters and serving drinks and snacks, naturally received my message.
“Okay players.”
I whispered softly as I met the eyes of the monsters entering the party hall.
“Let’s start the show.”
