I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 517

◈ 517. [STAGE 25] Dancing With The Devil

a while ago.

In front of Hotel Cross Road.

“This is crazy, White Night,”

said Lich Lich, who was walking behind the White Night.

《It’s the first time that an alliance between the undead and humans has been heard, so are you attending a party to celebrate the alliance?》

A total of 10 liches followed behind the Midnight Sun.

Those who covered their faces with long amulets pasted on their foreheads were all using the strong bodies of the Jiangshi.

Even when he was resurrected in the Lake Kingdom, his body was weak and only bones remained like any undead lich, but after the midnight sun became the leader of the lich corps, he moved his body.

The Jiangshi created by Eastern sorcery is the strongest body that undead can use.

In other words, even within the Lich Corps, these 10 could be said to be the most trusted and favored bodyguards by the Midnight Sun.

In fact, even within the Lich Corps, only the highest ranking wizards were selected.

“Isn’t it too likely that it’s a trap? Dying now… … .》

The white night looked back at the opposing adjutant and smiled.

“I also thought about the possibility of a trap. But then, isn’t it enough to wipe them out and come out?》

《Until now, there are not one or two monster legions that have been annihilated by them. I don’t know what kind of bizarre method they will use.》

《… .]

《What kind of alliance is an alliance with humans in the first place! Now that the magic tower has been destroyed, humans are no longer needed!]

The adjutant spoke up. White Night listened quietly.

《Don’t do this, go back now and mobilize the other monster corps you’ve captured so far to destroy the public interest! And loyalty to the King of Kings again- >

The white night’s eyes were irritated, and he nervously stretched out his arm and touched the Lich Lieutenant’s amulet.

Charleureuk!

Then, the pattern drawn on the amulet immediately began to change. The adjutant shut his mouth, shivered all over, and took a rigid attitude.

《It’s quiet now.》

Looking at the subdued subordinate, Baekya smiled contentedly.

Although the Liches thought they had acquired a stronger body by transferring their spirits to the body of the Jiangshi.

In reality, it was tantamount to completely handing over control of the body to Baekya, the magician who transferred his mind.

This talisman was a kind of programming command drawn in Eastern magic grammar. And the Gangsi Riches had to faithfully follow the orders given to the amulet.

This was also the reason why the Midnight Sun was able to easily control the Lich Legion.

“When will the world perish? Before that, you should enjoy what you can enjoy.”

The white night looked up at the sky for a while.

Yes – destruction is near anyway.

And when that time comes, he will abandon the lower world and ascend to heaven.

If so, wouldn’t it be okay to enjoy this brief pleasure before then?

“let’s go. Will the main character be late for the party?”

Baekya took the lead, followed by 10 riches.

So, as we entered the party hall-

“The Midnight Sun is entering!”

The atmosphere at the party froze coldly with the servant’s name being called.

Covering the laughter that leaked out at the expected reaction with a fan, Baekya glanced around at the living people who filled the party hall.

Really living humans with hot blood flowing under their warm skin.

The ‘real’ ones who are leading their own lives… … .

‘iced coffee.’

Facing these ordinary humans who sent fearful glances at him, the white night thought.

‘I’m envious of this reasonable life.’

How envious… …

… I want to trample them all down.

While I was barely suppressing that urge, someone approached me in front of the midnight sun.

The host of this party was dressed in a neat black and white tailcoat without any decorations, embroidery, or money. It was Ash.

“white night.”

《Ash.》

The two chiefs lightly bowed to each other.

Immediately after, Ash smiled.

“Are you dressed nicely?”

“You are really cool, aren’t you? Are you planning to use me as a beauty?”

“Haha. It’s strange that monster women die when they see me. Although my charm is a bit lethal.”

Ash picked up two glasses of liquor from the waiter next to him and handed one to Midnight.

“I’m sorry, but I will decline in advance. Because my taste is a bit picky.”

“You hit the iron wall well. Is it because he is a commander who can stop monsters?”

Ash and Midnight lightly bumped their glasses together and drank.

It was an orange flavored drink. Baekya shrugged as he twirled the empty glass in his hand.

《This is how royal liquor tastes.》

“Is it different from the old-fashioned liquor you find in that dungeon?”

“I know. It’s delicious as usual. I wondered if it might have been poisoned, but there is no poison… … .》

The white night smiled meaningfully.

《Is this really a place to celebrate the alliance?》

“It’s such a fun place. If you wish to.”

Ash smiled meaningfully.

Immediately after, Ash snapped his fingers towards the orchestra. The orchestra, which had been tense and stiff, began to slowly play the song.

Ash smiled brightly as he guided Midnight Sun and his men into the party hall.

“It’s a good day! Let’s all have fun!”

***

The party went peacefully except for the beginning, which put everyone’s tension aside.

White Night, who was walking inside the party, had a drink with Ash and laughed every time the story progressed a paragraph about what Ash was talking about.

Upbeat music played, guests drank and laughed. Little by little the mood of the party eased.

In the first place, the heroes on standby in Ash’s operation were Plan B.

If Ash’s Plan A goes well, it could end after just waiting, and even if Plan B activates, you have to wait for the next few hours.

That’s why the heroes deployed here and there also loosened their tension little by little, loosened their ties, and began to wait for Ash’s instructions comfortably.

“… .”

Still leaning against the pillar at the party, Kuilan crossed his arms and glared at the lich corps with a sharp gaze.

I couldn’t find a suitable suit because the original body was on the long side, so I was in a hurry and put on a suit from the banquet hall waiter’s attire. In the first place, no matter what she was wearing, she was so big that it stood out.

Anyway, I stood behind the pillar to hide and glanced at the lich corps, but there was no point in hiding.

“Fuck tea.”

Someone with a glass of wine in both hands approached Kuylan’s side.

When Quilan shook her shoulders, she saw a woman wearing an ivory dress that could be her trademark—it was Yoon, the princess of the Northern Aryan Kingdom.

“I found Kuylan~”

“Hee-ik.”

Kuilan had been wearing the face of a warrior for a while, but when Yun appeared, his face immediately became terrified like a rabbit in front of a bird of prey.

After drinking his share of champagne, Yun handed Quilan another glass.

“How long are you going to strain your eyes like that? It’s a party? Relax a little bit.”

“… We’re not at a party right now, we’re at a battlefield. Princess Yoon.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

Yoon tilted her head and sipped another glass.

“Whether it’s a party or a battlefield, you have to be moderately relaxed to be able to step out when needed.”

“… .”

“Come on, stop doing that and have a drink. And let’s have a deep talk with me.”

Yoongi slowly clung to him. Quylan sighed again and breathed out in fear, and immediately after that, as if trying to gather courage, he took a breath! It made a sound.

“I’ll tell you directly right here, Princess Yoon.”

Quillan grabbed Yoon’s wrist, which was about to be wrapped around his shoulder, and said. Yoongi widened his eyes.

“huh? What?”

“So far, I have a crush on you… Thank you for pointing out.”

Yoon has been pushing and dashing at Quylan, but Quylan is constantly pushing him away.

This time, Quylan was going to honestly reveal the reason for his refusal and shake Yoon off completely. So, I mustered up the courage to spit it out.

“Did you approach me because you were attracted to my great muscles or thick hair?”

“Yes. You fully meet our standards of northern beauty. If you go to the Mr. Ariane competition, you’re sure to win first place, right?”

“That’s the problem!”

“huh? problem?”

Yoongi blinked his eyes as if he didn’t understand. Quylan shook his head resolutely.

“All those who have approached me like me… They were people who fell in love with my body. And when I got tired of my body, everyone left me.”

Quylan raised his large hands and placed them in front of his chest with a reverent face.

“So I made up my mind. I will wait for someone who will love my heart and my soul, not my body.”

“… .”

Yun, who had been watching this as if he was shocked, muttered in disbelief.

“You have a very pure side, you… .”

“Anyway, so! I’m sorry for the favor of Princess Yoon, who only approached me after looking at my body! That I can’t accept your feelings.”

finally said!

Quylan, who finally properly rejected Yun’s dash, thought that Yun would step down, but he didn’t.

“You don’t know.”

“huh?”

“As you said, it’s true that I approached you only by looking at your body, but what about that? After that, isn’t it enough to love your heart and soul?”

Yun clung to Quylan. Beneath her twisted ivory hair, her bright yellow eyes glittered like those of a prey.

Swallowing dry saliva, Quylan stammered and turned around.

“… that and You never know when a vanguard like me will die. Right now, I don’t know what will happen with that undead wizard… … .”

“Right now, you don’t know what will happen with that undead wizard, so why are you hesitant about dating?”

“… .”

“The world is on the brink of destruction, and we are line warriors who don’t know when we will fight and die. So, shouldn’t we play hotly even from this moment today?”

Without giving Qilan time to say anything, Yun continued to shoot.

“I don’t know if I can love you with your heart or soul. But you never know when you’ll love me with my heart or soul. To find out, we’ll have to bump into each other first.”

Yoongi took one step closer. Quylan closed his eyes tightly and trembled.

“Why don’t you give up on me like this… ?!”

“I’m sorry, but I’m tired of differences. I decided not to bite it now.”

“Stop coming closer! You never know when things will happen!”

“When it happens, you just have to pick up your weapon and fight like a pro. Until then, let’s spend some time together.”

“W This isn’t a party hall, it’s a battlefield where you fight defense against monsters… .”

“Because I know. I know. tell me how many times.”

Yoon whispered in a sly tone.

“They are both playing with fire. Right?”

***

“Oh my gosh oh my gosh! Look over there!”

Evangeline slapped Lucas on the shoulder while gesturing to the side where Quylan and Yun were close together.

“I dashed and pushed away for about a year, and finally, Quylan was caught! Kyaa Yun unnie, you are bold! eat it! bite off! Oh my gosh!”

“… Some idiots have started to forget that this place is a wartime situation.”

Lucas clicked his tongue.

Yes, of course, even if the heroes are deployed, there is still time, and until then, waiting in a moderately rested state may be more helpful in maintaining power.

So Lucas didn’t bother to stop the other heroes from relaxing.

They are colleagues who can exert their strength when needed. I believe that much.

‘… If the master’s strategy goes well in the first place, we won’t have to step out.’

Lucas turned his eyes slightly and looked in Ash’s direction.

Ash and Midnight were talking separately. Escorts like Lucas and Evangeline and his subordinate riches were also set aside a little further away.

Only the gamble club party members, disguised as waiters, were sneaking closer and further away on the pretext of serving drinks and snacks.

‘So far, the operation is going as planned, but… … .’

Still, Lucas, who has always assumed the role of pointing out the blind spots Ash couldn’t see, was in a situation where he couldn’t let go of his tension even if the other heroes took a break.

It was then.

“uh?”

The band started playing a waltz.

Then Ash held out his hand to the white night, and the white night looked a little surprised and awkwardly grabbed Ash’s hand.

The human side commander and the monster side corps commander held hands and walked to the center of the banquet hall.

The meaning of this scene was clear.

“Oh my god, it must be dancing!”

“oh my god. Are you serious, lord… … .”

Even though it is a party whose purpose is to deceive the opponent. Do you really want to dance with the monster?

Although he is his master, Ash is really… … It’s a disrespectful expression, but it wasn’t normal Sangtorai.

Lucas gave a small admiration (?), but Evangeline urgently grabbed Lucas’ arm.

“huh?”

When I looked back curiously, Evangeline took the lead and dragged Lucas, frowning.

“huh? is what? are you! Go quickly!”

“huh… ?”

“Then the sunbaenim gets distant while dancing! What if something happens then? We should go to the side and continue to escort pretending to dance along!”

Evangeline smiled bashfully at Lucas, teeth sparkling.

“Go quickly, mister! Oh, you know how to dance, right?”
