I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 519
◈ 519. [STAGE 25] Dancing With The Devil (3)
《I really don’t know what it means to ask you to be an ally.》
The midnight sun answered calmly.
“I came here myself to form an alliance with you. Do I doubt your sincerity now?”
“I know it’s a lie. That me and the demon king are just a means for you to go through.”
As Ash shouted without hesitation, the white night’s eyes narrowed.
“You’re going to use them all enough for your true purpose and then throw them away. right?”
《… Let’s assume what you say is true. Then shouldn’t you tell me about that?”
Baekya snorted.
“If my true intention is to use you and then throw you away, wouldn’t it be right for you, knowing that, to take measures quietly? Why are you telling me that?”
“I told you. I really want to be an ally with you.”
The second song ends and the third song begins.
The human commander and the undead corps commander continued their dance without a break.
“No matter what you have in mind, you have helped us all this time. The conversation goes well too. You even dance like this.”
《… .》
“I don’t want to be enemies with you. I want to be on the same side until the end.”
White Night couldn’t stop laughing.
But Ash’s eyes are firm and unshakable. Baekya was honestly a little embarrassed.
‘What now. The atmosphere as if this proposal was going on.’
Is this person really a beauty world?
‘but… I don’t feel bad.’
In this hellish world, how many opponents have approached you so honestly?
The person who approached the copied and pasted fake self with such sincerity… … .
So Baekya decided to give her a little lip service.
《Okay, I promise.》
Secretly whispered the white night, stepping round and closer to Ash.
《I will truly be on your side.》
“Really?”
《Until the moment we defeat the demon king and save the world from destruction… … i will never betray you Will this be enough?”
There is no reason not to make this promise. To some extent, it is also sincere.
‘Until the moment we defeat the demon king and save the world from destruction’. be on his side
Baekya smiled with her eyes covered in red makeup. A light of relief appeared on Ash’s face as well.
“Okay White.”
After the third song.
After the three dances, the two chiefs bowed to each other. Ash, who slowly straightened his body, gestured towards the inside of the banquet hall.
“Then follow me.”
White Night tilted her head.
《Where are you going?》
“To perform the blood oath ceremony.”
Ash’s escorts rushed to catch up, but Ash waved his hand to stop them.
“Don’t follow me. It’s a matter for me and the midnight sun to solve.”
《You too.》
The Midnight Sun waved the same way to the Jiangshi who were chasing after her.
“Here it is. It’s something for me and the commander here.”
A young female waiter who was waiting led them inside. A red scarf hung around the waiter’s neck.
“Come this way.”
At the far end of the banquet hall was a small special room.
On the table in the special room were two empty plates, two empty glasses, a wide-mouthed bottle of clear wine, and two daggers.
The two sat across from each other at the table. Looking at the tableware set on the table, Baekya tilted her head.
《Ceremony of blood alliance is that old tradition?》
“Yes. The ceremony that the princes of this world do when they form a blood alliance.”
Ash walked over to his left forearm and picked up the dagger lying on the table.
“Eat and drink by exchanging each other’s blood and flesh. With this, the blood oath is bound.”
“Bringing out this boring ceremony… Are you serious?”
“Do it first.”
Ash slashed his left arm with the dagger without hesitation.
A small piece of flesh fell onto the plate, and blood trickled down from his left forearm. Ash dripped the blood into the bottle without a frown.
“I will stop the bleeding.”
The waiter untied his scarf and tied Ash’s arm to stop the bleeding. Ash calmly nodded at the midnight sun.
“Your turn.”
《… .》
The midnight sun was wary of any shamanistic principles contained in this ritual, but nothing was detected.
“Are you afraid of knives? You’re not thinking of leaving now, are you?”
《… There’s no way that could be that.”
Holding the dagger in front of her, the white night smiled bitterly at Ash and swung the dagger with magical energy.
Bits of tough Jiangshi flesh fell onto the plate. The midnight sun also dripped the cold black blood from her arm into the bottle.
《I haven’t seen it like that, but it’s pretty wild?》
“It might be a bit savage, but it’s good to keep traditions in this kind of thing.”
Baekya stopped the bleeding himself. After getting ready, the two sat down at the table.
The waiter lifted the bottle, shook it, and poured it into each other’s glasses.
“First, please drink wine mixed with each other’s blood.”
Ash drank without hesitation. Baekya looked closely to see if there was a special spell on this drink, but couldn’t detect anything.
‘It’s really just a pure consciousness… … ?’
As I drank from my glass, the waiter brought out long tweezers and picked up the flesh on the plate.
“Next, please devour each other’s flesh.”
“I would gladly swallow the flesh of a young creature, but will you be all right, Ash? It must taste like a corpse.”
The waiter first took the flesh of the Midnight Sun and brought it to Ash’s mouth. Ash smiled and opened his mouth.
“It’s the flesh of my allies, so I have to be willing to swallow it.”
And then, without really frowning, he gulped it down.
Next, the waiter picked up Ash’s flesh with tweezers and brought it to the midnight sun.
Midnight Sun was on guard until the end, but she couldn’t detect anything from the flesh, chopsticks, or the waiter.
gulp.
The Midnight Sun swallowed Ash’s flesh.
Ash, who was watching the enemy general devouring his flesh, declared.
“Since we shared each other’s flesh and blood, we are now blood oaths.”
《… .》
“We are like one body, so we will fight together for each other. Also, betraying each other is against the laws of heaven, and traitors will be punished regardless of means and methods.”
A wicked smile formed on Ash’s lips.
“Now that it’s like that, please take good care of me from now on, Baekya.”
Ash held out his hand, and Baekya slowly reached out and grabbed it.
《… .》
Is it because of such a cumbersome and bloody process?
It really felt like the other person was a special existence.
“Come on, get rid of these tasteless bloody drinks and snacks! Bring real good drinks and snacks! Let’s drink with a crooked nose today!”
Ash, who came and sat down next to the midnight sun, put his arm around the white night’s shoulder without hesitation.
“Let’s burn the party down!”
《… .]
The Midnight Sun, who had been staring blankly at Ash, put his arm around Ash’s shoulder.
“good! I’ll hang out with you to the end of the world!]
***
The party ends and the alliance is solidified.
The Midnight Sun and the Lich Corps started fighting together as Cross Road’s allies.
They officially declared treason against the demon king and defeated other monsters together on the monster front.
The battle of the 3rd year of the monster front was terrible and harsh. However, because they had a powerful ally called the White Night, Crossroads was able to continue the tough fight.
At first, everyone was wary of the monster White Night, but as she risked her life together, everyone soon recognized her as a teammate.
The midnight sun made friends with the people of Crossroads. Standing back to back and risking their lives, they continued to fight fiercely as members of the front line.
… .
The battle continued endlessly and death piled up the hill. Countless sorrows and tears also flowed like a river.
Crossroads has withstood the battle of the third year.
Defeat the nightmare corps that endlessly rush like waves.
Defeat the demon guards and exterminate the black dragon group… … .
Finally, the last death squad faced the Demon King in the deepest part of the Lake Kingdom.
In addition, Baekya was also proudly a member of this death squad where the elite of the Inse side gathered.
Kwajik-!
Huge eyes floated in the air and blinked.
Immediate killing in the midnight sun – direct intervention through the eyes of foreign media could even hit that demon king.
“Haha this. I thought it was a cat and brought it into my arms.”
The demon king, who was fatally hit by the Midnight Sun’s attack, laughed while coughing up blood.
“I guessed that I would become a tiger at some point, but I never thought it would bite my neck… .》
Kwajik-!
one more room.
After completely slaughtering the demon king, the white night succeeded in taking the throne of the demon king as planned.
To the white night that usurped the godhood from the demon king’s corpse and devoured it –
the foreign media that lent her strength in the meantime conveyed their intentions directly.
“Congratulations. The rebellion was successful, ant.”
《… .]
『Now you are the new demon king.』
The darkness of the other world sprouted all over the body of the midnight sun. As her body was covered in black shadows, the voices of the foreign press kept ringing in her mind.
『Now then, come on… ! Show me the true destruction of this world!”
《… .]
『Your predecessor, the Demon Lord, for what purpose did you repeat this disgusting world countless times! Do you know how boring it was
to watch!”
『The guy who should give us, the audience, pleasure! Cheeky! I mean, I used the Destruction Game as a means for my own purpose!”
《… .]
『Now, destroy it at once! Pour water and set fire! Declare a permanent end to this world!”
The foreign press roared.
『Then your ascension will be complete! Let’s go up to the heavens with us and contemplate the destruction of all worlds together!]
The whole body of the Midnight Sun was completely covered in shadow, and a long arc was drawn in place of the mouth by a white void where the face was.
“white night… .”
Ash trembled as he looked up at the new demon king floating in the air.
“Weren’t we allies? Was it like this from the beginning?”
《Sorry, Ash.》
The white night smiled bitterly and looked down at the colleague with whom he once shared his heart.
《The consciousness of the blood alliance we shared with you, the friendship we have built over the years… … After all, it’s all about the underworld.”
Even if you have a deep relationship between ants, it’s just a matter between ants.
Looking down from the sky now, I see how small and insignificant everything is.
White night waved his hand.
Quaaaaaa!
From the very bottom of the Black Lake, countless new monsters sprang up. And ran towards Ash.
Inse’s last death squad fought desperately, but in the end, one by one they lost their lives in front of the rushing waves.
Kwajik… … .
Finally, the flag of Crossroads was broken and even Ash knelt.
hooked! Pooh… … !
Dozens of monsters rushed in and drove their teeth all over Ash’s body. Drops of blood splattered everywhere.
The midnight sun did not turn a blind eye to the death of the first friend he had made after he was resurrected as a lich.
and.
“… Too bad. white night.”
Ash muttered slowly in a voice that seemed to die out at any moment.
“To not pass the final test.”
《… What?”
“I really thought I might be able to be your friend… .”
Ash slowly raised his head.
There was an unprecedented cold light on that bloodied face.
“It ends up like this.”
tall.
Suddenly the world stopped.
Not only the monsters newly summoned by the Midnight Sun, but also the whole body of the Midnight Sun, and even the eyes of a foreign god floating in the sky… … .
The whole world didn’t even budge. As if someone had ordered ‘stop’.
“what… ?”
“Well then.”
Ash, who had been eaten by monsters, easily shook his body. Then the surrounding monsters scattered like dust.
The whole body, which had been covered in blood, was already clean.
The white night stared blankly at Ash, not understanding the situation.
“It’s time to wake up from the dream, traitor.”
Ash snapped his fingers in front of the midnight sun.
Fuck!
***
《… Heo-eok?!”
Baek-ya woke up in amazement.
Let’s barely straighten our blurry vision, this place… … It was the special room at the banquet hall where the clan ceremony was held.
The white night realized that his whole body was not moving.
And the fact that Ash, with cold eyes right in front of him, was sitting cross-legged.
“You said you would become a blood alliance with me.”
Ash poured the whiskey in his hand into a glass. The glass filled with ice rose with a gurgling sound.
“But to betray without hesitation? Big disappointment.”
“What is this… What I just saw… … .》
“It’s fantasy.”
“fantasy… ?”
The white night stammered in a trembling voice.
“What I saw was that one year… Was it all an illusion?”
“Yes. The illusion I showed you to confirm your true intentions.”
Ash shrugged.
“Well, I only instructed the ‘direction’ of the fantasy, and you drew the detailed situation and result. Did you plan hard? Thanks to you, I was able to know your insides well. A lot of information that I didn’t know until now.”
Baekya, who had been dazed and dumbfounded, shouted as if desperate.
“Nonsense! I am a magician! How could I be so completely fooled by mortal illusions… !》
“That’s why it wasn’t easy to prepare.”
Ash looked back at the five heroes behind him.
Orange Lime Cobalt Violet Scarlet.
They were the five key agents who carried out this operation. Ash smiled while examining their faces.
“But it’s the job of a con man to come up with that difficult design and eat the hukou.”
