I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 69

◈ 069. [Side Story] Box Cracker (3)

“I… … .”

Damian hesitated and spoke cautiously.

“I never thought about it after that. That promise with the prince.”

“… .”

“One day, if all the monsters are defeated and there will be peace on the front lines here. Prince. Then ask me again.”

Damian looked up at me with a face that I couldn’t tell whether it was a tear or a smile.

“I will answer you then. The prince is still… … do you hate it?”

“That day will definitely come, Damian.”

next 3 years.

After walking all the way to the ending, the decision will be made in one way or another.

“And whatever answer you give me at that time, I will gladly accept it.”

I reached out and put my hand over Damian’s bandaged eyes. Damian stood still, motionless.

Loyalty and hate. grace and resentment.

Players and cheat characters.

no matter what relationship I hoped that this little boy helping me would be happy one day.

Whatever the ending, I hope it will be like that… … only beg

***

The night after the end of the stage.

I returned to my room exhausted.

“It’s egogo saxin, ego… .”

Even though my left arm was still injured and my whole body was creaking when I rolled violently.

I couldn’t even rest. It was because I needed to know the exact result of the defensive battle that I was not present at.

The results of reality that cannot be known only through the system settlement window.

So, it was now that he toured everything from the castle wall to the artifact storage warehouse and various production facilities and soldiers in the temple.

“I’m tired… I’m dying… … .”

Tonight, a victory banquet was held, but I was in no condition to attend, so I just returned after reciting a congratulatory speech.

Even without me, the other guys will play well with the soldiers. Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter… .

‘I believe in Jupiter.’

Drinking, smoking, gambling, and wasting money are definitely talented people. You take care of the atmosphere and play well with the soldiers.

“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.”

As soon as I sat down on the bed, fatigue set in.

I want to collapse right now and go to sleep.

Still, don’t put off what you have to do today. I opened the system window.

First of all, it is a former job.

In the last battle, two of the main party characters reached the level required to change jobs.

When I reached level 20, the 1st job advancement became possible, and when Lucas reached level 35, the 2nd job advancement became possible.

First of all, Lucas.

I opened Lucas’ stat window. [Lucas ( SSR

)]

– Level: 35

– Title: Prince’s escort knight/Protagonist

– Occupation: Senior Knight

– Strength 35 Agility 35 Intelligence 15 Stamina 35 Horsepower 20

“Stats crazy … .”

Strength, agility, and stamina are all maxed out. If I had been born on Earth, I would have probably won several Olympic gold medals. I don’t know the sport.

Lucas has already completed his 2nd job change and has completed his job change as a senior knight. If that’s the case, it means that the 2nd skill has been unlocked as well.

I opened Lucas’ skill window. Let’s take a look at the 2 skills!

– Possessed Skills

> Passive: Man of Steel

> Skill 1: Strike of Will

> Skill 2: Day of Tenacity

> Ultimate Skill: ??? (Unlocked after the 3rd job advancement)

Lucas’s 2nd skill [Step of Tenacity] has been unlocked.

It is a skill that attaches wings to Lucas, an SSR-class scammer.

If used once, it provides ignorant mobility that jumps about 10m at once.

You just need to have a target. You can’t run towards empty space where no one is.

Whether it’s enemies, allies, or objects, you need to target and charge.

Despite these limitations, the reason this skill is a scam is… … that there is no cooldown.

It could be used every turn in the game.

Of course, it consumes a lot of MP, but if you put your mind to it, you can hit and run alone and stir up the enemy lines at will.

The reason why Lucas is treated as the fundamental and complete form among all the DLT characters in this game is simple.

This is because his skill set is strong and simple, and he can cope with any situation.

Tank passively.

Attack with 1 skill.

Move to skill 2.

‘Now, if I learn the ultimate skill and finish the exclusive equipment and special work… … Lucas really becomes a battlefield god.’

Of course, the road to level 50 is long and arduous.

Acquisition of exclusive equipment and creation of special features are not normal, though.

Once you take a picture, you will be rewarded accordingly. Our main character, Lucas… … .

‘Let’s work hard a little more.’

I turned off Lucas’ status window with a smile as I pictured Lucas’s prince in my head.

I’m Ash next.

From the unprecedented start of level 1, I finally reached level 20 after a long and difficult struggle… … !

Recalling the hardships of the past, the tip of my nose frowned. big.

‘The end of hardship is the beginning of happiness, Kim Ash! Now, hidden class-like fraudulent skills will pour out!’

I didn’t stop the happy circuit with the smell of burning roaring.

No, that’s because it’s a hidden class! It’s a ‘commander’ class that no one has ever had!

Isn’t it necessary to have at least one or two fraudulent skills to run away while the balance is frightened!

I turned on my stat window.

[Ash (EX)]

– Level: 20

– Title: Lord of Crossroads/Third Prince of Ruin

– Occupation: Intermediate Commander

– Strength 6 Agility 9 Intellect 20 Stamina 8 Horse Power 12

Is it because of the hard work? Surprisingly, the stats are going up somehow. especially intelligence.

Even though there is a 50% negative growth debuff unique to the commander class, this level can be said to be very compliant.

‘Stats are fine, skills! 2 skills!’

I gasped and opened the skill window. while shouting loudly.

“Did you get a cheating skill?!”

– Possessed Skills

> Passive: Indomitable Commander

> Skill 1: Mystic Eye of Command

> Skill 2: ??? (Open after 2nd job change)

> Ultimate Skill: ??? (Opened after the 3rd job change)

I frowned.

The name of the new skill appeared. But what is this? Commander’s Eye… … ?

I quickly turned on the detailed explanation.

[Magic Eye of Command]

– Controls and forcibly controls the consciousness of the target that the eyes meet.

– The lower the magic stat of the target, the higher the success rate of the skill and the longer the duration.

※ The effect of the passive skill [Indomitable Commander] is not effective on allies.

“Hoo… .”

In short, it is a skill that spreads mind control magic over a wide area.

Of course, once it gets hit, it’s less effective than mind control magic that lasts throughout the stage.

In any case, it meant that it was possible to move the monsters freely as long as they made eye contact.

‘I’ll have to test how much MP is consumed, but this is pretty sweet.’

Of course, to be honest, I was expecting an active skill that would explode… … .

There’s just something like that. Since he’s the commander, he summons dozens of cannons and fires them all at once.

Like summoning and controlling hundreds of sand soldiers. I was expecting something huge like this.

Well, I still have 2 skills and an ultimate. Make sure to pray that the skill that explodes will come out then.

‘Did I give this passive skill like this because of this 1st skill?’

I looked at my passive skill [Indomitable Commander] again.

[Indomitable Commander] has the effect of preventing mental abnormalities of nearby allies.

This passive seems to have prevented the malfunction of my 1st skill. My subordinates follow my orders anyway, so there’s no need to use 1st skill.

‘Anyway, it’s a skill with infinite potential.’

In an instant, all sorts of ways to use it popped into my head.

Although it is temporary and has a chance of failure, it is a mind control skill anyway.

Utilization is literally close to infinite if my creativity is supported.

‘Sooner or later, I’m going to test it out in real life.’

It seems that the test is possible only when you meet the enemy. I turned off the status window.

‘next.’

I took out four boxes from my inventory.

three gray.

And one is a brilliant golden color!

It’s like an SSR grade reward box. Received as a reward for clearing the last stage.

‘Oh my God, an SSR grade box!’

I gulped down my dry saliva as I looked down at the golden box in my hand.

From the beginning to the ending of a single episode, it is the box that says it is difficult to eat even 10 of them. This is on stage 3.

‘I wish I could come up with a weapon that I can use.’

I looked down at my left arm, which had a cast on it.

In the last battle, while swinging the lucky roulette weapon, ‘Lucky Strike’, a 000 fumble popped up and my left arm was smashed.

He said that it would be impossible to use it like before even after the treatment was over.

‘We need a weapon with few variables and definitely practicality, not just relying on luck.’

I want to give orders safely behind the scenes, but the reality is not so.

In addition, as long as we have confirmed the existence of a ‘dark event’ that tries to cheat the game strategy, the difficulty of the game will fluctuate in the future.

It means that I will continue to engage in direct combat.

‘Like in the last battle, I might be able to shoot a horse gun.’

The other day, I took the SSR grade horse gun Black Queen and used it lightly.

But that’s just a stopgap.

‘It’s better to give Damian one more horse gun. Especially with fraudulent weapons like the Black Queen.’

There is already a suitable person who can bring out 200% of Horse Gun’s ability.

Using a weapon capable of one-shot-one-killing key enemy units from long distances like a shotgun is like putting a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.

I need to find a weapon that suits me.

‘Although it’s greedy to want it to float here.’

Still, if you have an SSR grade reward box in your hand, you can stack 1 more greedy stack! is not it?!

First of all, I opened the three N-rank boxes first. I’m not looking forward to it, but did you come up with a finished product?!

[Rewards]

– Higher Stamina Potion

– Higher Magical Potion

– Flame Enchantment Scroll

“Yeah~ It won’t float~”

All three are consumables. Well, potions are always useful, and enchantment scrolls are also effective.

‘Come to think of it, there is also a frozen scroll I received as a reward in the past. I haven’t written it yet.’

I’m saving it because it’s better to use it when there’s an enemy who can stab the attribute weakness. Anyway, let’s take care of everything.

Alright, and this game!

Holding the golden box in my hand, I took a deep breath. after… .

please!

“Sir! Please give me one weapon that is perfect for me!”

While shouting, I opened the golden box at once.

Flash-!

Brilliant golden light scattered everywhere.

Eventually, the golden light converged and formed the shape of an item.

Holding the item in my hand, I opened my mouth slightly.

“This… ?!”
