I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 730

730. [Free Exploration] Welcome to Zombieland (2)

There is a genre called zombies.

It literally refers to a group of genre works that focus on the zombie apocalypse, and since the subject of zombies is so fun to play with, it has developed in various directions.

There are novels that deal with the causes and solutions of the zombie outbreak, dramas that look at the changes in society after the zombie outbreak, and cool action games that simply cut, shoot, and kill zombies.

There are many different aspects of genre development, but the one I dislike the most is the latter.

What fun is there in just mindlessly catching zombies? Zombies should be more of a threat, scary, and fearful of being infected.

“But because we met in real life!”

I screamed.

“I realized that cool beating action is the best!”

In front of me as I scream, a duo of knights are literally running through the zombie field like tanks.

Flash! Tsk! Tsukaaaaak!

Lucas is swinging the [Granted Sword] and [Excalibur] in his hands alternately, literally destroying the zombies.

The [Granted Sword] is extended as much as possible to sweep a mid-distance like a whip, and with [Excalibur] held in the opposite hand, the zombies that have passed through this whip are killed at close range.

Moreover, [Excalibur] is a holy sword. Basically, it possesses divine power. This means that it works very well on ‘unclean’ things like zombies.

Lucas, who literally became a zombie blender, cut down and cut down all the zombies within range.

“U-r-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!”

Right next to him, Evangeline is running coolly like a runaway locomotive.

Evangeline’s exclusive equipment, [Spear of the Cross Family] and [Shield of the Cross Family], are still being repaired, so she brought temporary equipment instead. It is the [Shield Sword] made from Gon & Bung that was killed in Stage 44 just before.

It’s an equipment that I looted right after I knocked it down…

It’s a transforming equipment that transforms from a shield shaped like a giant fish scale into a sword shaped like a long bird’s beak.

With this, he pushes the zombies in front with his shield, turning them into a mess, and when necessary, he transforms them into a long sword, hacks the surrounding area, and then transforms them into a shield again. Evangeline uses it skillfully.

“I told you before, right? “I mainly use a spear, but I can also use a sword to some extent!”

A zombie monster rushed next to Evangeline, who shouted triumphantly. He was the one who took advantage of the gap when Evangeline changed her equipment from a shield to a sword.

“Wow?!”

Before the startled Evangeline could react,

it flashed!

The tip of Lucas’ [Granted Sword] blew off the zombie monster’s head.

“….”

Normally, he would have teased her by saying, ‘Are you out of your mind?’, but Lucas just glanced at Evangeline and ran ahead.

“…Tch!”

Evangeline, gritting her teeth, sped up and followed closely behind Lucas.

I laughed out loud as I looked at these young people.

‘Hehe. Okay guys. It’s still nice to see them getting along so well….’

Prince, is it getting hard?!

It’s already been 10 minutes since I started sprinting! I also used my magic power, equipment, and other things to get out of my poor physical condition, but it’s still a bit difficult! What if I speed up here?!

Still, I couldn’t slow down. If you slow down even a little, the zombies will catch you.

I also looked to the sides and behind.

Flash! Flash!

Unlike us, who are running along the main street, Verdandi is following us as if flying, following the agile fence and the collapsed building.

There was a zombie field all around, but among them, there were some particularly threatening entities, and Verdandi was cutting off the heads of these guys one by one with a bow sniper and flash dagger-Isageum combo. Excellent!

And last.

Diarmudin, at the very back of the group…

“I hate it! “Don’t come!”

It is spewing fire with a fierce scream.

Roaring….

An incredible number of zombies chasing after us are being roasted just like that.

The monsters that lost their senses continued to chase us regardless of whether their bodies were ripe or not, and one by one, they were reduced to ashes, unable to overcome the accumulated fire damage.

‘As expected, a wizard! Awesome! Good thing you brought me here! The kill count alone is several digits different!’

I don’t know why the old wizard’s screams are becoming cuter and cuter, but it’s effective anyway!

But our rush became more and more difficult. As you head deeper into the Lake Kingdom dungeon, the number of zombies filling the streets not only increases, but their level also becomes stronger.

To begin with, they are not ordinary zombies. Monsters that were originally strong were revived as zombies.

Although he cannot use various special abilities, his physical specifications have become even stronger. Approaching it this way is also reaching its limits.

“Master, there is no end to this!”

Lucas, who was clearing the way ahead, shouted.

Even when I looked with my own eyes, I could see that zombies that were killed in one hit with the [Granted Sword] were still surviving after being hit by two or three hits. It’s going to be hard to break through with just the five of us.

‘Then around here!’

I turned around and shouted.

“Dearmyuddin!”

Diarmudin then looked at me with a smile. I nodded.

“Let’s fly!”

“Shouldn’t you have ordered me like that a long time ago!”

Diarmudin, who had suppressed the flames, spread the hem of his robe wide to the left and right.

Sigh!

Then, wings with black feathers unfolded left and right, and flight magic was granted to everyone in our party.

The five of us, defying gravity and soaring into the sky, flew straight into the deepest part of the dungeon.

The remaining zombies on the ground were watching us and sizzling in the remaining flames.

***

Currently, we have completed the occupation of area 9 of the Lake Kingdom dungeon.

In other words, the only place infested with zombies is District 10.

The problem is that District 10 is the largest single district.

‘Well, it’s the area where the royal family lived….’

There were various facilities for the royal family, including the royal castle, and all of these places were turned into dungeons.

The number of dungeons located in District 10 alone is around 30.

And most of these places were attacked by zombies, and after all of them biting each other… a catastrophe occurred where everyone turned into zombie monsters.

Burn….

Burn….

It’s really hard to look at the scary-looking monsters with the zombification topping on top.

The monster-zombies, leaning against each other, let out various groans and filled up all over Area 10, staggering around.

We floated in the air with Diarmudin’s flight magic as we entered the depths of Area 10, looking down at the hordes of zombies swarming below.

Evangeline asked, breaking into a cold sweat.

“I guess not all of these guys will be released to the ground?”

I laughed and waved my hand.

“Oh, you too. Say something that makes sense. No way…”

Immediately after that, I shut my mouth.

Because I’ve always gotten sick of seeing people being caught by chance.

‘No, isn’t it even more strange that these bastards stay here quietly? If the door opens and everything follows, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for what this damn defense game has done?’

My complexion turned pale. The faces of other heroes who were looking at me also turned pale.

Diarmuidin, who was trembling and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, shouted.

“Prince Ash! What are you going to do?! “Hurry up and come up with a solution!”

“Let’s see. “We went on a reconnaissance mission like this to come up with a solution.”

Of course, it’s just reconnaissance, and I haven’t even been able to set my foot on the ground since I approached the deep part of Area 10…

“Master.”

At that time, Lucas, who had been looking into the distance, raised his gaze and gestured.

“Over there, on the other side of the outskirts from the entrance we entered… monsters are making strange movements.”

“huh?”

When I looked in the direction Lucas was pointing, it was true.

Most of the zombified monsters are either dazed in place or struggling to follow us in the sky and then give up or something like that.

On the outskirts there, zombies swarming the streets were rushing towards a specific point like a whirlpool.

“Do you see something over there?”

“Would you like to check, my lord?”

“OK. Dear Diarmuddin. “Please fly over there.”

“Okay, don’t say it so easily. “It’s very difficult to fly for such a long time…”

Diarmudin groaned, but lifted all of us into the air and headed that way.

There was an abandoned tower near the site, so we climbed down to the top of the tower and looked down.

And there….

《Stop it!》

《Build a barricade!》

《Don’t let them in!》

Inside a collapsed, abandoned cathedral-like building, the surviving(?) monsters were desperately building a barrier and preparing for battle

. Ugh!

Gwaaaaah!

Hordes of zombies were coming from all directions towards the surviving monsters.

‘Wow, this is a scene from a real zombie movie.’

With admiration rather than admiration, I looked closely below.

The monsters that resisted were red-skinned and human-like… unexpectedly, they were demonic species, but most of them were not soldiers but children and the elderly.

“The job system of the devil species is divided according to age.”

Trying to understand the situation, I explained it to my subordinates.

“Children are trained to be future soldiers, and adult demons fight on the battlefield as soldiers. And retired seniors are dedicated to taking care of them.”

The category of demon species is inherently very broad. Broadly speaking, monsters and imps also belong to the demon species.

However, the ordinary demon species, which is also the opponent of this stage, refers to a race with red skin and a human-like appearance.

It is said that this race invades across dimensions in legions and fights to return that dimension to their own land.

Legions dispatched to that dimension settle down there, raise families, have children, and fight for generations.

As explained earlier, young children train, adults fight directly, and older people support them.

“No, that’s something! “Then the elderly do the most chores and suffer the most?!”

Diarmyuddin, strangely angry, raised his voice at an unexpected point. But it was true, so I nodded.

“In fact, it is said that young children are considered the most precious, and the elderly are used as castaways when the time comes.”

“You devils! “They will be punished from heaven!”

No, that’s because they’re demons… They’re the number one target for heavenly punishment…

“Well, anyhow, all of the adult demon species that can be said to be the main force at the moment have turned into zombies…”

I said, examining the situation.

“It looks like the children and elderly people remaining in the colony are making their last stand.”

thud! Kwasik! Quad deuk!

The sound of the barricade blocking the entrance to the abandoned cathedral being smashed repeatedly rang out.

The zombies crowded around the cathedral quickly removed the barricades and thrust their arms and mouths through the broken windows and walls.

The body of the already powerful monster had become a zombie and was showing even more power than usual. The thin walls of the abandoned cathedral quickly collapsed.

《Ahh…!》

《Great observers! Save us….》

《Demon King! Where are you, Demon King? You must protect us!》

Young and old demons gathered together and shaking, screamed for salvation. But neither the Observer nor the Demon Lord even came close to this place.

There were only a few of us snooping around and watching.

“hmm.”

After a brief thought, I opened my mouth.

“Save them.”

“yes?”

Everyone was taken aback by what I said, and Lucas immediately refuted it.

“No, my lord. What are you saying? They are monsters too! Plus, a devil species! “They are our enemies!”

“know.”

I pulled out the ceremonial long sword [Light and Shadow] from my belt and assembled it into a flagpole.

Flash!

A flag made of magic waves was tied to the empty flagpole.

“It is also an army of monsters that we will have to deal with in this defense battle.”

I grinned and looked back at my subordinates.

“So, isn’t there a corner you can use?”

Then, without waiting for an answer, I jumped down, waving the flag.
