I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 64
◈ 064. [STAGE 3] Road
3 years ago.
The day Evangeline left home and left for the capital.
After chasing her daughter, the Marquis handed over his cavalry spear and shield to Evangeline.
It was an heirloom passed down from generation to generation. Although it was old, it was an old-fashioned weapon with excellent durability that was hard to find in the area.
It was also the weapon that Evangeline sang and sang that she wanted since she was a child.
‘Take it.’
The Marquis bluntly spat out.
‘It will help.’
Chaeng-Grang-!
However, Evangeline threw the spear and shield her father had given her to the floor.
‘I do not need it.’
‘… .’
‘Because I won’t inherit something like this.’
Evangeline, who glanced at her father and turned coldly, got into the carriage.
The Marquis, who was watching his own spear and shield lying on the floor, slowly opened his mouth.
‘… Evangeline.’
Evangeline wondered if her father would get angry and yell at her.
‘It’s cold in the north. In particular, the winter in the ecliptic is harsh.’
But no.
‘Don’t catch a cold and stay warm.’
‘… .’
‘Come back whenever you feel like it.’
My father’s voice was trembling.
Evangeline didn’t answer and closed the carriage door.
Soon the carriage started, and Evangeline, buried in the seat of the carriage, glanced back.
My father was standing in the same spot.
Continue until the end of the road and the daughter disappears out of sight.
***
“… .”
Evangeline bit her lip as she picked up the old lance and shield with her muddy hands.
The spear and shield were severely worn. Like a father who lost his mother and grew old in an instant.
When I was a kid, these spears and shields looked so cool.
Every time a monster attacked, my father’s back as he silently packed his arms and left the house… … I couldn’t be that cool.
How did it come to be like this?
how come
Goo oh-!
The golem chasing us from behind let out a ferocious scream. Ash exclaimed urgently.
“Evangeline! hurry!”
“… !”
Evangeline gasped, putting a shield on her left arm and holding a lance in her right hand. Then he asked.
“I hear you have insurance, senior!”
“Yes, yes.”
“Then take it out! that’s the limit I won’t last very long!”
“I already took it out.”
Prince Ash had his signature mean-spirited, yet confident, yet handsomely filthy handsome smile.
“Here you are.”
Ash’s index finger tapped Evangeline’s forehead.
“You are my last insurance.”
Evangeline was so dumbfounded that she only blinked.
“… yes?”
“now! wake up soon amount of insurance! Wear your father’s armor and fight as you taught him!”
I wanted to ask, but there was no time to do so. The golem was really right in front of me now.
Evangeline put strength into the hands holding the shield and spear.
As if it had found its long-time owner, the weapon fit perfectly into both hands.
why then
‘Hold the spear like this and hold the shield like this.’
Suddenly, an old affair with my father flashed through my mind.
when I was very young. The moment when I first learned the spear and shield.
Clutching her teeth and jumping up, Evangeline stabbed her lance at the charging golem.
Tuquaak-!
Even the golems were not intact due to the previous battle.
The tattered chest armor was instantly torn apart by the attack of the old cavalry spear.
Evangeline struck the clearly revealed mana core with her shield. The golem collapsed like crumpled paper and collapsed at once.
After that, four more guys came running.
Evangeline’s green eyes flashed with a flash.
Is it an illusion? For a moment, the movements of the guys seemed slow.
The gap in the enemy was clearly visible. I instinctively knew how to step and how to match the tempo.
pop! bang! Kwajik! Kwakwang!
It was as if the road was unfolding before my eyes.
Kwadeuk! Wood deok! puck! bang-!
Block, poke, block, poke, block, poke, block, poke.
He blocked four times and stabbed four times. The perfectly refined movement slammed into defense and attack like lightning.
When Evangeline came to her senses, the four golems were smashed into pieces and raindrops were pouring onto the floor.
“uh?”
Instead, a bewildered sound escaped Evangeline’s mouth.
The recoil that moved violently with the injured body came belatedly.
Grinding her teeth and enduring the pain throughout her body, Evangeline recalled the sensation from just now.
what was that?
Clap clap clap—
then I heard applause.
I looked to the side and saw Ash smirking and clapping his hands.
“Great, but the amount of insurance? I believe in you!”
“Seniors. just that… … why?”
Evangeline looked down at her hands tremblingly.
“I felt like I saw a ‘road’. What is this?”
“Well, right now, your weapons are your exclusive equipment. Even if you don’t upgrade, the characteristics are applied. That’s the effect.”
“… ?”
special equipment? Uppost? characteristic? effect?
Evangeline blinked at the incomprehensible sound.
But one thing was certain. That Prince Ash knew the identity of this strange sensation.
“Kuhm! There are more pressing things than that.”
Ash, confused, pointed his hand at the sky over there.
“He is the last one.”
“… !”
A magic stone golem floated in the air.
Even with the loss of his right arm and right leg, he was still ready to fight.
I could see the red magic power rushing to the tip of my one remaining fingertip.
“What should I do? It’s so high that our attacks won’t reach it.”
The magic stone golem was floating at a height of about 10m in the air.
But this side has no ranged weapons. Ash’s horse gun ran out of bullets.
At least Evangeline can throw a javelin, but if it misses or avoids it, it will be empty-handed after that.
“There is a way.”
Ash smiled. Even in this situation, Evangeline thought to herself that she was smiling confidently like that.
“The prince always has an armful of secret books.”
Ash looked at the western sky. The sun is almost gone now. It will be night soon.
“Evangeline. This is the last order for the day.”
“Please speak.”
“Run straight for him. Then I’ll drop him.”
Evangeline decided not to ask how to drop him.
When Ash gives an order, he obeys.
Because I realized that it is the most reasonable and has the highest survival rate.
“I will go.”
“This is the last one. Ajaaja!
“That cheering slogan is too old-fashioned… .”
Taat!
Evangeline kicked off the ground and ran forward.
ping! Phoebebing!
A stream of red light poured from the magic stone golem. Maybe it was because he only had one arm, but his magic attacks were much weaker.
bang-! Kwakwawang!
“Keugh… !”
If there’s a problem, it’s that Evangeline is exhausted as well.
still run Just forward, kicking the ground with cramped legs. Toward the empty space where monsters lurk.
‘ah.’
It was then. I felt the same feeling as before.
The best ‘road’ for running while avoiding enemy attacks was drawn in his eyes.
‘What is this feeling?’
Holding her shield upright, Evangeline ran along the path.
As soon as Evangeline rushed in, the magic stone golem threw magic like a madman.
However, Evangeline succeeded in approaching right below without suffering a scratch.
“Nice work Evangeline.”
And the magic stone golem’s nerves were completely focused on Evangeline.
In that gap, Ash turned to the other side and ran toward the magic stone golem, and took something out of his arms.
“With this… It’s checkmate!”
It was a torch with a flickering blue flame.
Ash threw it as hard as he could at the magic stone golem.
swish-!
The sun had already set completely. Beneath the charred sky, blue torches rose vigorously, emitting light, and
tingling… .
… It fell down effortlessly.
Let alone hit the magic stone golem, I couldn’t even reach my feet. I illuminated the golem once with blue light and that was it.
Took.
The sound of torches falling to the ground echoed weakly.
“… .”
“… .”
Silence passed. Ash and Evangeline, as well as the magic stone golem, were hardened.
Evangeline, who had been quiet because she was dumbfounded, opened her mouth.
“What the hell is this-”
That moment.
Flash!
A light flashed in the distance. It was on the side of the castle wall of the Crossroads.
and after a few seconds
Nettle fluid-
Tutu… !
Suddenly, the magic stone golem’s chest exploded.
“what?!”
Evangeline looked closely.
The magic bullet that flew from the far-away crossroads accurately pierced the magic stone golem’s chest.
‘Could it be that the bullet was shot from the crossroads?!’
Are you saying that he sniped at this distance in response to Prince Ash’s signal?
‘Nonsense. It’s not something humans can do! It’s physically impossible!’
Evangeline, who was shocked, heard Ash’s shout.
“How about this, how about those! Now, this is a one-time chance! Evangeline!”
The magic stone golem, which had been completely taken by surprise, was falling. Ash shouted, extending his hand.
“Finish it!”
Taat!
Evangeline suddenly found herself following the man’s orders.
Run towards the falling magic stone golem with all your might, step out, jump into the air, and then say
“Huaaaagh!”
I threw out the window with all my might.
Pucak-!
The old cavalry spear of the Cross family pierced the air with a dazzling white light – it pierced the last golem’s magic core.
That was the end of this long and terrible battle.
Patter! Chaeng and… … !
Fragments of the smashed golem fell in all directions in the air.
Evangeline, who pierced the golem with her spear and landed on the other side, eventually collapsed forward.
“ah… flaw.”
I felt like I was going to die of exhaustion. Without exaggeration, I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.
As soon as I turned over and lay on my back, Prince Ash appeared in my field of vision.
Ash smiled wearily and squatted down next to Evangeline.
“Good job. Ace junior. I really didn’t know you could do it.”
“… Is it really over now?”
“At least not here.”
Truly, just the two of them defeated 50 large monsters.
Of course, the secret plan that Prince Ash brought out was out of the ordinary, but it was unmistakable that it was a huge criminal record.
“Senior… You are so amazing… … . Doing this nonsense… … .”
“It’s something no one will believe no matter who you tell it to.”
Ash shrugged smirkingly.
“Let’s leave it to a war between the two of us.”
Evangeline’s eyes began to close.
“… Can I pass out now?”
“If I say no, can you hold on?”
“If that’s an order… … I will endure… … .”
Evangeline mumbled, trying to keep her half-closed eyes open.
Ash reached out and covered Evangeline’s eyes.
“You can sleep, kid. Relax.”
“… .”
“Hush hush.”
Exhausted, Evangeline closed her eyes.
Soon the world turned black.
