I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 694

◈ 694. [STAGE 40] Night Closing (2)

The castle wall brought from New Terra and rebuilt with all of humanity’s technology was still standing despite this uproar.

There were more parts that did not maintain their shape than parts that did, but the wall was still built… and people who could still fight were gathered on top of it.

“majesty-!”

Everyone, led by Junior, who saw me for the first time when I came back alive, made a whooshing noise and ran towards me. I’m grateful that everyone took turns greeting me with tears, but I can’t afford to do that right now…!

Fortunately(?) everyone calmed down quickly.

bang! Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Because in the south, the Night Bringer and Jormungand were still fighting with the intention of ending the world.

The split surface and the stretched out night are mixing and swirling in the air. It’s a sight that makes you cringe just by looking at it.

“…Seniors.”

Evangeline, who was gathering the troops, turned to me and I nodded.

“good. “Has everyone gathered?”

I sent Elise here in advance and instructed her to collect the troops and supplies.

I looked around at the heroes and soldiers on the castle walls and quickly explained the ‘Night Closing’ operation.

Everyone looked tired and tired, but they were focused, perhaps because they knew that this operation was our last chance to counterattack.

“So, in a little while, the airship will be heading out to break through the veil of darkness… We must assist from the ground.”

“What do you mean by assistant…?”

“There is a gap in that veil of darkness, but because we have continued to recover on our own… the gap has narrowed. “We have to close that crack.”

I turned to Damian and nodded.

“Damian will snipe that gap.”

Damian nodded. Damian observed the crack in the sky from the observation tower. He knows the exact location better than any of us.

“But Damian’s magic bullet alone is not enough. So…everyone here has to work together.”

Evangeline and Junior widened their eyes.

“Gathering strength?”

“okay.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lily and the alchemists came from inside the city, whimpering and carrying something.

“I brought it, Your Highness!”

That was… the oversized installed ballista that Burnout used.

It was an equipment that was created from the beginning with the premise of various customizations, and was used in a variety of ways, such as connecting to the Dandelion Corps Commander’s magic core. I was planning to take advantage of that point this time too.

‘I will gratefully use the legacy you left behind. Burnout.’

Body Bag lifted the equipment with telekinesis and began installing the ballista with skillful hands.

An oversized ballista was quickly installed on the castle wall, and the alchemists added magic cores and various artifacts to it.

“Damian, come here!”

Damian rushed to Lily’s call and took out [Black Queen] and attached it to the upper part of the ballista.

While watching the temporary magic bullet launcher of unprecedented size being assembled, I explained to the rest of the heroes.

“The heroes are divided into four groups. Elementalist, wizard, priest, and the rest.”

I nodded as I looked at the spiritists led by Hannibal.

“First of all, the spiritists help enchant Damian’s magic bullets.”

Spiritists are accustomed to ‘breathing’. You will be able to control the entire magic bullet enchantment process,

such as imbuing equipment with spirits or giving properties to objects .

“The following wizards compress their respective magic power and infuse it into magic bullets.”

Wizards increase the ‘power’ of magic bullets.

Junior, who understood my intention with just a simple command, nodded and led the wizards towards the launch pad.

I then looked towards Zenith and Rosetta. They were all covered in bandages, as if they had been injured during the battle, but their eyes were bright.

“Priests convert divine power into light through magic concentrators. Help Matan resist the darkness as much as possible.”

Priests are in charge of ‘light’.

This operation is fundamentally aimed at breaking through the veil of darkness. And the profession with the highest light conversion efficiency through the magic concentrator is the priest.

Its role is to infuse light into magic bullets so that they become natural enemies that can break through the veil of darkness.

The priests all nodded at my command and then ran towards the launch pad.

“And everyone else, please guard the launch pad so we can fire steadily.”

The vanguard heroes, led by Evangeline, nodded.

The current situation across here is unusual. When an unexpected variable arises, vanguard heroes must be deployed to protect the launch pad… and Damian.

“good. Everyone, give it your best shot. please.”

“yes-!”

After looking around at the people rushing around, each looking for something to do.

I headed towards the end of the castle wall. Two familiar dragons were waiting for me there.

“Skeirian Parekhian.”

“ash. You really came back.》

The Skalian’s entire body was burning and crushed, perhaps because he had had a hard time blocking the breath.

He looked at me with his big dragon face and his signature nerd-like expression, and then he started giggling.

《Are you going to keep fighting until you end up like that? All I can say is that it is truly an indomitable will.》

“Take it as a compliment.”

I gestured and stood at the edge of the castle wall.

“Okay, follow me, Skalian. Parekian. “I need you.”

The orders for both the subordinates who will leave on the aircraft carrier and the subordinates who will shoot snipers to support the aircraft carrier have been completed.

Now I was thinking of going back to the battlefield… to the place where the giant mythological monsters fight.

It was then.

“Hey, me too!”

Between the two dragons, a small human being hesitated and stepped forward.

“I’ll go too, Your Highness!”

“Violet?”

It was Violet, the illusionist and leader of the Gamble Club.

I blinked in surprise at the unexpected request from an unexpected person.

Violet’s shoulders and body were shaking as she stood facing me, but there was determination in her eyes.

“….”

I made eye contact with her for a moment and looked into her inner self, and then I chuckled.

“Yeah, I guess so.”

I put my feet up on the castle wall railing and looked towards the far south.

“Good, there are five members… it’s one party.”

me. Crown. Skarian. Parekian. And Violet.

Shattering Commander Eternal Clown Nerd Dongryong Unknown Muanryong and Human Illusionist.

I have no idea what kind of baseless combination this is, but anyway, five. A party was formed.

The Skyrian flew through the air smoothly and landed on the edge of the castle wall. I, who had climbed on top of it first, held out my hand towards Violet.

“Are you ready to become a legend, warrior?”

Violet took a deep breath, nodded her head loudly in response, and then… holding my hand, she climbed on top of Skalian’s body.

Next, Parekhian walked up and climbed on Skarian’s back, and Crown grumbled as he climbed up for the last time.

“Is that naturally including me?”

“So did you plan on hanging out here for the rest of your life? You must interpret for Jormungand to hear my orders. let’s go.”

In this way, everyone completed boarding the Skalian.

Going to school-!

The Skalian’s body seemed to come together like a spring in the air and was shot forward at once. We flew towards the place where the Night Bringer and Jormungand were fighting.

No, I was trying to fly….

Not long after we started flying, we all panicked.

“…?”

“uh?”

“What is that.”

At the end of the southern field.

A place where two mythical monsters fought.

The place where the night, the darkness of the surface, the dirt, etc. were chaotically mixed and swirling, suddenly became quiet and –

Wow…!

From there, something huge was thrown outward.

The huge thing that bounced flew across the air toward the Crossroads. It was only a beat later that I realized the identity of the silver-grey mass spewing blood in all directions.

It was….

“…Oh my god.”

It was the tail-side half of Jormungand’s body that had been forcibly torn off.

Night Bringer tore Jormungand’s body from the center, split it in two, and threw the tail towards the Crossroads.

***

Quaaaaaaa-!

The airship ‘La Mancha’ rose from the hangar, spewing fierce flames from its rear thrusters.

Next, ‘Alcatraz’, with only its skeleton remaining, flew up behind La Mancha as if to escort it.

The two airships flew side by side together and increased altitude above the dark sky. Long flames flew from the tails of the two airships, illuminating the darkness.

“Confirmed airship sortie!”

“Operation Night Closing has begun!”

The skirmishers who were waiting for the aircraft carrier’s sortie on the castle wall were busy shouting.

Clap, clap, clap!

Damian let out a long sigh while transforming the [Black Queen] into a form similar to a rail gun.

The [Black Queen]’s long muzzle, combined with an installed ballista, soared high into the sky.

The magic bullet launcher had become so large that it was difficult to even call it a gun barrel, with all kinds of artifacts attached to it.

Damian, who was almost lying down on the gunner’s seat on the launch pad, gazed at the distant sky and slowly placed his finger on the trigger.

Crackling, crackling….

The Black Queen’s seven magic bullets had already completed the process of spinning in the air and combining into one.

And the magicians, priests, and spiritists applied their own processes to this combined magic bullet.

“Magic power charging is complete!”

On one side, wizards refined magic power and infused it into magic bullets, and

“Light condensation through the concentrator is complete!”

The priests also compressed and infused the compressed light into magic bullets.

“All enchantment processes completed!”

Hannibal, who oversaw this entire process and finally summoned the wind spirits to surround the magic bullet, spoke while sweating profusely.

“I don’t know if it’s the strongest, but it’s definitely the best shot…!”

“….”

“As an unprecedented amount of enchantment is packed into one bullet, the duration is extremely short! “The spirits will hold out as long as they can, but-”

Hannibal was about to explain further.

Phew…!

Suddenly a gust of wind blew.

All the embarrassed heroes looked towards him and immediately swallowed their gasps.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It was flying towards Crossroads.

The long tail of the dismembered Jormungand that the Night Bringer threw away.

Evangeline, standing guard in front of the launch pad, let out a groan.

“What is this…?!”

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The magic wall that Ash had spread in the sky spread out in its path, but it was unable to completely block the overwhelming force of the force that flew in.

Jormungand’s huge tail, which was blocked by the magic wall and bounced once on the floor, flew straight towards the southern wall of the Crossroads.

There was no way to stop it.

Kugwagwagwang-!

The castle wall, which had been holding up like a lie for so long, was finally completely destroyed.

The magic bullet launcher installed on top of the castle wall was also shattered.

***

Kugugung Kugugung….

In the ruins of the collapsed castle wall.

“….”

Sitting on the broken remains of the launch pad, holding [Black Queen] with both hands. Damian was still aiming at the sky.

And all the remaining heroes stood around, covered in blood, protecting Damian.

Even in the unprecedented situation of the castle wall collapsing, Damian was unharmed thanks to defensive magic and protection from bullets. This was the result of protecting them with one mind even while all the remaining heroes fell and were injured.

“Hehe…”

Evangeline’s mouth trembled as she caught the pieces of the castle wall falling towards Damian with her whole body.

“Can you shoot Damian?”

“…sure.”

The launch pad collapsed, but the magic bullet was already completed.

The target is out of sight, but I have already seen it with my own two eyes.

Damian smiled faintly amidst the ruins of the castle wall that had completely collapsed and surrounded him like a well.

“I’ve done this before.”

The next moment, the sniper’s finger pulled the trigger.

Tukwaaaaang-!

The bullet that came out of the gun’s muzzle rose like a thunderbolt returning to the sky, accompanied by a dazzling magic flame.

The magic bullet rose endlessly, sharply lighting up the dark sky.

Just like the last fireworks we all saw together during the fall festival…

Kugugoogung…!

Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the southern sky, and the white snow falling from the sky suddenly turned black, like sticky tar.

A pitch-black snowstorm poured down on the flying magic bullets. It seemed as if the heavens were trying to stop the magic bullets.

However, the pure white magic bullet dances along an orbit that cannot exist in the world, breaking through all the layers of snowstorm.

The target he was aiming at reached exactly the scratch carved in the southern sky.

Without a sound, the magic bullet penetrated into the veil of darkness.

….

and the next moment.

Blah blah blah!

The dark clouds were torn apart, creating a huge hole in the veil of darkness.

It was as if there was a deep wound in the sky.

“Confirm target location.”

Inside the bridge of the private ship ‘La Mancha’.

Lucas muttered incoherently after seeing the hole in the curtain of darkness.

“We’re rushing in.”

As instructed by Lucas, Kelly Bay tilted the control stick sharply.

Kugugoogung!

Inside the airship, which was shaking violently while changing direction, the eyes of the special-purpose heroes preparing for battle flashed fiercely.

“let’s go.”

Lucas growled, glaring at the next curtain of darkness that stretched endlessly over the hole-filled curtain of darkness.

“To sleep overnight.”
