I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 618
618. [Side Story] Last festival (8)
Originally, today’s schedule is until the round of 16 of the martial arts competition.
However, the Glory Knights game was postponed to tomorrow considering the specificity of the situation. I had an accident like that, but it’s too much to ask me to play the game.
So the rest of the matches were played normally…
***
Round of 16. My main party vs scary older sisters.
The members of ‘Scary Sisters’ are Elise Rosetta Body Bag Violet and Anonymous.
Is this really the power to win? It was a formidable squad worthy of heroes who displayed terrifying prowess on the front lines.
Besides, the tactic was novel… As soon as I started, the body bag picked me up with psychokinetic magic and threw me away.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaah?!”
“Master-?!”
There is no out-of-field judgment in this martial arts competition, so I wondered why this was happening even though I was thrown far away.
“I was aiming for this time!”
While I left the battlefield, Violet developed the [Phantom Magic Realm].
[Illusionary realm] is a wide-area mental state abnormality. My [Indomitable Commander], which provides wide-area immunity, is the perfect counter.
But I flew out of range and I was aiming for that gap. Such a connection!
Kiyiing!
[Illusionary realm] unfolded and the main party members suffered as they did.
Evangeline, Lucas, and Junior all looked at the empty space with dazed expressions as if possessed, and saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths.
Even if I don’t have you, won’t you be hit too hard?!
“Damn, come back soon… Whoa?!”
I was about to run back, but the body bag blew off a follow-up telekinesis spell, confining me to the corner of the arena. got it right!
“Now! attack-!”
And the other scary older sisters except for Violet rushed at it like crazy.
They first focused their attacks on Evangeline. Was there a lot of things piled up?
“Kukku you traitor…! Let’s stay together until the end!”
“You showed us such a dream and then abandoned us! It’s a heretical point settlement!”
“I don’t know… when else are you going to hit the president again?”
“I’m going to kill myself. If it hurts, tell me!”
Elise and Rosetta’s body bag, and even the nameless with an innocent face, beat Evangeline wildly.
“Even if I fall down here…”
Evangeline muttered sadly as she finally sank into the roar of anger.
“The dream of a handsome harem… will remain immortal…”
“Why are you leaving something like that immortal?! What the hell are you dreaming about!”
I squealed as I tried to remove the telekinesis magic.
Anyway, the front line tanker, Evangeline, is knocked down.
Then, the eyes of the scary older sisters turned to Lucas. Lucas said, staring blankly into space.
“…it’s okay, lord. Go out with serenade. I will be looking at the house today. sure. I will feed the baby with powdered milk, play with it, and put it to sleep at Kokonen. Who am I? Aren’t they watchdogs and housekeepers? So don’t worry and go on a nice date…”
What fantasy are you showing him?!
Why did you become a housekeeper and golden retriever who guards the newlyweds’ house with a baby! What the hell are you dreaming about!
“Huhhhh…”
The serenade, who was watching from the audience, made a very satisfied sound for some reason. No, no, don’t be in a good mood right now!
“….”
“….”
“….”
Anyway, the scary older sisters glared at Lucas fiercely, then quickly withdrew their gaze and passed by.
“I’m having the same dream, so I can’t bear to touch you.”
“I will pass.”
“I’ll look at it….”
“I hope you make your dreams come true. Knight.”
Why are you even cheering! what are you doing
The next target of the scary older sisters is Junior.
Despite being a wizard with perfect magic stats, Junior, who was hit by magic in one shot, is wandering around.
Approaching her, the scary older sisters laughed wickedly.
It was then. Junior muttered softly.
“My taste… what is it…?”
“….”
“….”
“….”
The scary older sisters stopped in awe and exchanged serious glances.
“I don’t think you should touch this one either.”
“Well, it might be a very important moment for Junior.”
“Please come to a good conclusion…!”
“…what a taste. what are you talking about?”
Only Moo-myeong, unable to keep up with the conversation, tilted his head.
Anyway, those who skipped Lucas and Junior turned their heads in search of Damian for the last time. and.
“I found the reverse!”
Damian smiled calmly and shot an arrow at the fake dragon.
“…?!”
One beat later, the scary older sisters opened their mouths, but the arrows were already flying.
Damian’s [Clairsight] sees through the essence of an opponent.
Hearing, smell, and touch may be disturbed, but only Damian’s eyesight is not affected by the [illusion realm] in the first place. Oh my gosh, such a scammer!
So, from the beginning, Damian pretended to be possessed by illusionism, stood still and looked for the fake dragon’s evil point… and now fired an arrow.
widely!
The arrow hit the exact point and the bell immediately rang to end the match. Deng-Deng-Deng-!
“This can’t be…”
“The tactic was perfect… but I was caught off guard.”
The frightened older sisters sat down in their seats with devastated faces. Only Mumyeong says it was a great match and claps for Damian.
And when the [Phantom Realm] was released, the rest of my main party members also fell to the floor.
Evangeline and Lucas, who came to their senses a beat later, looked around.
“…Where is my harem…?”
“Baby? baby where did you go It’s time to eat powdered milk… and lull yourself…”
Wake up, dreamy children…
“Huh?!”
At that moment, Junior collapsed on the floor with his arms propped up and muttered in a cold sweat.
“What is it… I think I dreamed of a spinach drink and a tomato drink fighting each other to choose one another.”
“Ah, what I was thinking about is your taste…?”
Returning to the center of the arena, I first dealt with the main party members who were still unconscious. He showered Damian with stormy praise.
Following that, I nodded my head broadly towards the ‘scary sisters’.
“It was a great tactic, folks. It wouldn’t have been strange if you guys had won.”
To think of a tactic of excluding me and inserting a mental abnormality into it, and executing it over and over again.
It is truly worthy of praise. In fact, if Damian hadn’t endured with [Clairsight], we would have just lost.
I praised each and every member of ‘Scary Sisters’. Elise and Rosetta were truly sorry, and they laughed, saying that the body bag and cotton were fun.
Finally… I approached Violet, who was hiding in the corner and was looking for the right time to escape, and forced a handshake.
“It was great work, Violet. As the days go by, the achievement of illusions is increasing.”
“No, thank you for that…”
“I’m looking forward to the black dragon subjugation.”
“yes?”
I smiled and left the arena behind her.
After a few seconds, Violet’s face turned pale as she came to her senses.
She tried to run outside the city, but when I flicked my hand, the other members of the gambling club appeared and screamed and dragged her into the city.
Where are you going? The festival is in full swing, so enjoy it a bit more.
I hate it….
Violet’s screams were drowned out by cheers and applause from the audience.
This is how the first match of the Round of 16 ended. Coming out of the stadium, I looked around and announced the main party members.
“Okay, let’s take a rest today on your own! It’s good to watch the rest of the games, and it’s good to go and play, and have fun. The quarterfinals are tomorrow, so gather at the manor house tomorrow morning.”
All party members say yes! he replied.
The party members who said good work today dispersed to see if they had somewhere to go.
As I looked at the backs of the children heading to various parts of the city, I said,
“Master.”
Lucas approached me cautiously.
“Lucas. what’s the matter? There is still some time left until the announcement for the future application for our housekeeper position. Submit your application later.”
“Please stop teasing me with that… more than that.”
Lucas, who was worried with his blue eyes, looked straight at me.
“There is something I want to tell you about Hecate.”
I saw Evangeline, who was walking away, making a quick U-turn and listening.
I laughed bitterly.
“okay. Even I… felt the need for a story.”
***
Inn Etty’s Honey. Second floor.
“…”
Hecate stood in front of the locked door of her room, staring down at the key in her hand.
In the wind that got caught up in the accident, the handbag I had been carrying was also muddy… and the room key in the bag was also dented.
I could go down to the lobby on the first floor and get a new key from the staff, but I wasn’t motivated to do so. It was difficult to explain the bloody bandages.
Hecate stumbled and sat down in the hallway.
‘Somehow…’
She looked down at her bandaged body.
‘How did this happen?’
It was the life she chose.
As a subject of the Empire, she respected the Emperor and targeted the Glory Knights from the moment she first grabbed the sword.
He was willing to give his life and fight for the Empire.
And now I’ve been diagnosed that I don’t have much time left.
Free time was given by the Emperor himself, and Hecate descended to the southern end of the world in search of friends from his school days.
Dressed up and excited about the festival after a long time.
But I’m really awkward with my old friends, so I can’t approach them easily. His plan to show off his good looks at the martial arts competition was ruined by an accident.
‘With this cursed body… I can’t approach Lucas again…’
I remembered the young mercenaries who ran away in fright when they saw themselves being reassembled.
Ash’s face hardened in surprise.
And… he ran out belatedly to protect Ash, saw himself from afar, and as expected looked pale. Lucas’s face too.
‘I shouldn’t have come.’
Only then did Hecate realize the reality. Now that he is a very different being from ordinary people.
No matter how much I try to wrap it up, in the end it’s just a monster wrapped in a curse.
‘It’ll just disappear quietly. It will remain as a memory of my beautiful school days…’
Why did I come all this way to tarnish the good memories with such an ugly look?
Hecate looked to the side as he crouched down in the hallway.
From the window of the inn, I could see the plaza in the distance. I saw a group of people laughing and chatting in the bright afternoon sun.
“…”
I can’t even get out of the shadows.
I was envious of that smile that allowed me to laugh under the sunlight.
And honestly.
very little.
‘…I hate you.’
It was the time when Hecate, the demon of evil, desperately endured it by covering her face with both hands and trying to suppress the welling up from within.
“Hey there!”
A high-pitched, stuttering voice rang from the front.
“…?”
Embarrassed, Hecate hurriedly wiped her face with her hand, wiped her watery eyes with the back of her arm, and looked ahead.
“What door? Is it because the door won’t open? The inn here is old, so the lock breaks all the time! That’s why I often suffer too!”
Junior was standing.
I had just returned from the round of 16. I just came to get my luggage for a while, but I bumped into Hecate who was squatting in front of the door.
Pretending not to see Hecate’s tear-stained face, she tried hard to avoid her gaze, sweating profusely as if she was embarrassed.
And again, with a voice that seemed to have squeezed out courage…
the hesitant young wizard asked cautiously.
“Do you want to help me…?!”
I bit my tongue as I asked.
“….”
Junior stood still for a moment, sticking out his tongue dripping with bloody water. For some reason, he felt embarrassed… and spit out the repertoire he had been using two years ago.
“…It’s a gag.”
it wasn’t funny at all
However, because it was absurd, Hecate stopped laughing.
