I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 680
◈ 680. [STAGE 40] Gigantomachia (3)
Grinding his teeth, Ash set fire to his flowing ego… his soul.
Grumbling –
a spiritual flame ignited in the shattering fragments of memory.
The speed at which the soul collapses has increased even further. Instead, he gained the power to move his body in return for a spiritual burnt offering.
“Haaa….”
My whole body, which seemed like it was about to collapse, gains strength like a flash of lightning.
Ash had no hesitation in setting fire to the deepest roots of the memories that made up him.
Memories accumulated over countless years and countless times are turning into ashes and scattering.
What does it matter?
What value are there in memories?
If all these distant moments were to burn up and turn into heat and gusts of wind and be converted into fleeting power. I just do that gratefully.
“Ah ah ah ah ah-!”
Letting out a beast-like roar, Ash rushed towards the evil dragon again.
What needs to be done doesn’t change. I reload the poison once again and stuff it into the hole.
Ash unconsciously received the pouring fire of black dragons, burning the roots within him.
– I’m sorry for entrusting such a heavy burden to you.
Sometime in the distant past.
The faces of my father and brothers, covered in blood and clutching my shoulders, flashed through my mind.
– Don’t forget that we walked the same path as you.
Burn it.
The days of united front with my father and brothers disappeared in a blaze.
– It was an honor to fight under His Majesty.
On the frozen ground.
Before the final battle, the heroes and soldiers who had fought together smiled brightly and raised their weapons.
– We will open the way with our lives. Achieve your great work…!
Burn it.
The faces of my colleagues, who had crossed through hell shoulder to shoulder, were black and scattered beneath the flames.
– are you okay. My lovely Bonhater.
My mother’s dry lips gently touched my forehead.
– Mom will always be by your side.
Memories of my childhood mother, who smiled kindly and hugged me… also
burns.
“Ah ah ah ah ah…!”
Flames streamed down Ash’s eyes like bloody tears.
Burn it. Burn it. Burn it.
There is no need for memories. It’s been a long time since I gave everything away anyway.
You have a save slot. Focus of the century. A dagger and a poisonous bottle to kill destruction. The silver coins offered in exchange for salvation are merely ropes that will be used and discarded.
It’s not a waste. It’s not sad. It’s not painful. All those extravagant feelings have long since died.
Just offer it up, burn it, and at the end
of this world…
– Ah…
At that moment, the scene before my eyes changed.
In the middle of a lush summer garden.
Serenade, a 15-year-old girl wearing a beige dress and bathed in the morning sunlight, exhaled hot breath.
Serenade, who made eye contact with Ash, blushed and looked down.
Long eyelashes cast a light blue shadow over the large silver eyes.
“….”
The flame
stopped.
“…ah.”
How could I forget?
The scenery of that day engraved in my soul.
The image of the boy and girl exchanging their vows of engagement, their foreheads touching each other, their cheeks blushing and smiling shyly.
“Ah…”
For a moment, tears welled up in the corners of Ash’s eyes, which had dried from the heat of the black flame emitted by the monster.
Without realizing it, Ash raised his arm and reached for the memories of that day that he could no longer reach…
and roar!
Flames poured down on those memories.
The breath poured out by the Night Bringer attacked Ash mercilessly.
Before he knew it, the other six heads of the resurrected Night Bringer attacked Ash from all directions. Ash dodged all of the attacks, but was unable to avoid the breath emitted by the middle head of the Night Bringer.
Ash’s entire body burned after being hit directly. The last poison loaded into Ash’s fingertips also completely turned into ash.
When the short breath ended and the Night Bringer took his last breath, Ash collapsed in a miserable state.
Because he stole the blood of a black dragon and became a dragon, he was resistant to its breath and black flames, but it was a direct hit. It seemed as if Ash’s life was about to end, let alone fight any longer.
‘iced coffee.’
Ash thought slowly amidst the broken and melted reason.
It’s over.
Now there is no way to continue this fight any longer….
“Is this the end to the entertainment you can give me?”
Night Bringer whispered quietly.
《It was fun, but from the perspective of having to end the show, the encore performance was a bit boring.》
“….”
《Let’s end this. player. This time-》
Before he could finish his sentence, the Night Bringer suddenly raised his head.
“Hmm?”
It was because someone was running towards us from the darkness on the other side of the forest.
Taaa-!
The sound of bare feet lightly kicking the ground rang out, and a small girl jumped into the air.
A man with long black hair and amber dragon eyes wearing chain mail over a bandaged body.
《…Half-dragon?》
It was Dusk Bringer.
Night Bringer tried to taunt him, but Dusk Bringer didn’t even have time to talk to him. She roared loudly in the air.
“Ah ah ah ah ah-!”
Dusk Bringer also set fire to all his blood and soul.
The sunset-colored magic that emanated from her entire body multiplied and spread out, eventually combining into one shape.
The sprouting horns soared upward along with the gigantic head, and the endlessly expanded wings spread left and right, creating a gust of wind.
The thick tail rose like a tower and swept the ground like a whip.
As the gigantic limbs landed on the ground, large scales made of magical power covered the figure.
The final stage of the dragon blood runaway.
Re-presentation of myth.
She transforms herself temporarily into the form of an ancestral dragon by materializing magical power – the strongest self-destruction device she possesses.
《Aaaaa-!》
The appearance of a great ancestor who had the same name as himself.
Dusk Bringer, who had descended to this world in the form of a gigantic red dragon, spewed flames from his entire body and rushed at the black dragon.
《That won’t be a power you can handle, half-dragon!》
The Night Bringer, with a smile so wide that his mouth was almost torn apart, took the attack.
Kuuuung-!
A sound similar to that made when mountain ranges collide with each other echoed across the ground.
The mere sight of the two gigantic dragons colliding with each other was a miracle.
The ground cracked all the way to the bottom of the valley with a crack, and a forest of thousands of trees fell down in rows.
A fever raged in the air, and the clouds beyond the curtain rippled.
Dusk Bringer’s body grew to an unbelievable size, but Night Bringer, who had already traveled north and absorbed the night, was much larger.
Dusk Bringer desperately attacked the black dragon, not caring about the size difference.
Following her every move, dazzling fireworks exploded like firecrackers in all directions.
bang! bang! Quagwagwang…!
Even for a brief moment, Dusk Bringer overwhelmed Night Bringer. However, Night Bringer had already noticed Dusk Bringer’s weakness.
《I smell blood, Banryong. The smell of the great blood that your ancestors passed down…》
Before I knew it, the six auxiliary heads of the Night Bringer had returned to the back of the Dusk Bringer.
Dusk Bringer roared and tried to intercept it, but
the wound on its back was healed before it attacked.
The unhealed wound was too big.
Six heads released their breath at the same time and crashed down on Dusk Bringer’s back.
The scales made of magic peeled off layer by layer, and eventually they were pierced.
Six breaths gathered together from the back of the red dragon to the front of the stomach struck down like long spears.
《Khaaagh…!》
Dusk Bringer, who had barely endured the pain, tried to continue the attack without paying attention to the wound. She punched with all her might.
Tooung-!
But the next moment, Night Bringer’s huge paw caught Dusk Bringer’s swinging fist and grabbed it.
《…!》
Night Bringer sneered into the ear of the astonished Dusk Bringer.
《The power is too much for you to handle, half-dragon.》
And just like that,
quad-de-de-duk-!
One of Dusk Bringer’s arms was ripped off in the opposite direction and thrown away.
《…!》
Instead of blood, a dazzling sunset-colored magic spewed out from one of the pulled out shoulders, and as it let out a silent scream, Dusk Bringer gritted its teeth, spinning its body in place and trying to strike its tail like a whip.
Kuung-!
However, the Night Bringer suddenly stood up and lightly trampled its tail with its hind feet to stop it.
《Ugh-?!》
And Night Bringer stared at Dusk Bringer, whose movements had stopped for a moment, with seven pairs of [Dark Demon Eyes].
Fourteen eyes radiated darkness at once.
Night Bringer’s strongest attack weapon, ‘Forged Night’.
Forging the night with the hatred and resentment that had been built up since the creation of the world, the Night Bringer cut to pieces the descendants of his archenemy.
Kwasik! Quack! Wow…!
The intangible darkness flew like a blade and tore Dusk Bringer’s entire body apart.
《Aaaah! Ahhh!》
Dusk Bringer let out a painful scream as his entire body was torn apart.
Sunset-colored magic spurted out in all directions like blood from Dusk Bringer’s shattered body.
The seven heads of the Night Bringer rushed towards the Dusk Bringer.
The seven heads of the evil dragon ferociously bared their teeth and chewed and swallowed Dusk Bringer’s entire body made of magical power.
The Dusk Bringer, which was no longer able to maintain its dragon form and staggered into an ugly, skeletal form, slowly fell towards the Night Bringer.
thud…!
Dusk Bringer’s weakened body touched Night Bringer’s body. The Night Bringer was confident that he had finished off his opponent and watched her end leisurely.
and.
Flash!
Light appeared in Dusk Bringer’s eyes that had lost their power.
Dusk Bringer, in the shape of something torn apart that no longer had any purpose, held on to Night Bringer with all its might.
“What are you doing?”
Night Bringer asked, truly puzzled.
“…Now.”
Dusk Bringer roared harshly.
《Unknown Sister-!》
《…?!》
The flagship Night Bringer looked down in astonishment.
Just like Dusk Bringer, he arrived here just before the teleportation gate broke and was waiting for the moment to step forward – before he knew it, he had
moved Ash, who had collapsed, to a safe space behind him.
The dethroned princess of the Lake Kingdom held her sword in the darkness.
“…the opportunity you gave me.”
Going to school-!
A terrifying light emanated from the worn-out longsword in the nameless hand.
Through the white hair blowing in the wind, the nameless turquoise eyes hidden under the hood of the robe opened straight.
“I will never do anything in vain, Dusk brother.”
A beam of light shot out.
Nameless left his sword behind and flew out like a missile with magical energy, quickly reaching the Night Bringer’s sight.
Night Bringer tried to attack the unknown, but Dusk Bringer resisted the attack with his whole body.
Dusk Bringer’s exploded body scattered like firecrackers in the glow of the sunset.
Beneath the flame, Nameless grabbed the iron sword with both hands and gathered all the light remaining in his soul into the blade –
flash!
I slashed at the evil dragon with the most powerful sword strike of my life.
In a world covered in darkness, a pillar of light so intense and huge that it seemed as if one would be blinded for an instant rose up.
