I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 81

◈ 081. [Side Story] Right place

I put three new horse guns on the table and examined them.

‘It’s in the shape of a pistol.’

All three of them have the same shape, probably because they use the same three magic cores. I picked up the horse gun and checked the stats.

[Cerberus Lv.25]

– Classification: Horse Gun

– Attack Power: 11-66

– Durability: 6/6

– Ammo Capacity: 6/6

– The last bullet in the magazine is always a critical hit.

“All three bags are made in the same shape, so I named it Cerberus.”

“You mean the Three Headed Dogs of Hell? That’s a good name.”

I checked all three pistols and set them down on the table. It is obviously smaller in size than a normal horse gun.

“Then why did you take such a small form?”

“I heard that all the horseshoes made so far are used by one person.”

yes. It’s all Damien’s stuff.

“If you include the horse gun you showed me as a sample for the first time, aren’t there six?”

“however?”

“Carrying around six weapons of this size would tire even a tradesman. Besides, the horse gun has a lot of recoil, so it’s a weapon that puts a burden on the body.”

Certainly, during a defensive battle, all you have to do is place it on the wall and hold it up and shoot it.

In a situation where he goes outside, such as free exploration, the weight of the horse gun becomes a big burden on Damian.

“So I tried to make it as small as possible. Its long-range combat power may be a bit off, but it will be good at medium-to-short range.”

“It’s rather light and small, so there must be an advantage when the distance is close.”

I nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, you can change the equipment setting in this way in the case of long guns during defense battles and pistols during free exploration.

You can try several combinations.

As a test, I fired the pistol at the shooting range set up next door.

Taang-!

Despite being a handgun, the recoil is terrifying. Even if I hold it with both hands and shoot it, my wrists feel sore.

Still, compared to the long gun-type horse guns, it is at the level of aegyo.

The long guns really flew backwards every time they fired.

I put the pistols in a box and packed them well. I should give it to Damian as a present.

“You worked hard, union leader.”

“you’re welcome.”

“And I’m sorry, but I’ll have to entrust you with making the next equipment right away.”

“What are you sorry for! It’s our job.”

I put the ingredients I had prepared on the table.

One Golden Gargoyle Magic Core (SR).

and five pieces of golden armor.

“What I’m asking you this time… … .”

I inhaled and then exhaled.

“It’s ‘boss gear’.”

Tension flashed across the blacksmith’s guild leader’s face.

What is Boss Equipment?

Boss monsters have a high chance of dropping a dedicated magic core when defeated.

The player can use this magic core at will.

You can make equipment, make artifacts, or sell them to make money.

Even if you make equipment, you can inject magic cores into the equipment you need at that time.

Shoes if you need a shield, shield shoes if you need a shield.

It is possible to the player’s discretion to the extent of the player’s preference.

but.

Equipment used by the boss monster.

‘Boss equipment’ that is modeled after it can only be made with the boss’s magic core and material.

Since the performance is very good, it is good to make it if the conditions and circumstances are met.

‘I didn’t do it because I didn’t know. In the meantime, the categories did not overlap.’

For example, the ghost knight who was the stage 1 boss.

This boss’s equipment is the ‘Ghost Knight’s Greatsword’. However, we didn’t make one because we didn’t have a character who could use a great sword.

‘After that, even if elite monsters appeared instead of bosses or boss monsters appeared, the exclusive magic core did not drop.’

Anyway, in the meantime, I picked up the golden gargoyle’s magic core and armor fragments this time.

Golden Gargoyle’s boss equipment – ‘Golden Armor’ can be made.

“Please make it as thin and light as possible.”

I specially ordered

“So that it is not heavy and not inconvenient for movement.”

“Then it seems that the defense will be reduced by that much… .”

“Does not matter. Just make your actions comfortable.”

“All right.”

The option I ordered looked like an armor, but its actual performance was close to that of a magician’s coat of arms.

“When will you take your measurements?”

“I’ll try again next time. Once the size… … A little bit smaller, please.”

After completing the order and paying the bill in advance, I left the smithy.

Lucas followed behind me and nodded.

“Will your lord wear it? If that’s the case, it’s definitely better to be light. You don’t have anything to do on the front line.”

“Ugh what… .”

I was speechless.

I might as well wear it. Let’s see the options pop up and decide.

***

Alchemist’s workshop.

The anti-aircraft artifacts were finishing their repairs without incident. That’s not why I’m here today.

“Lily.”

It was to give notice that since Jupiter had staged out, we were putting the Archmage of Flame back into the party.

“His Highness the Prince has arrived!”

“… .”

Lily, who was diligently repairing the artifact, stared at us with wide eyes.

“Let’s see if I have to step in this time… ?”

“Yes… It happened.”

Or rather, have you ever not been on the front? It seems to be called up every time you defend.

Lily sighed and wiped her hands.

“What can I do? It’s my fault because I was born a wizard.”

“Yes, yes. Blame yourself for being too good.”

“Boo… .”

I said it in a joking tone, but Lily’s face turned into tears. No, he’s crying! really cry!

“Ooh don’t cry! It’s my fault! No, but I will still send it to battle!”

“I don’t cry… Artifact dust gets in your eyes… … .”

Lily, rubbing her eyes, opened her eyes clearly and said.

“majesty. I have a request for you.”

“That’s right. say it.”

“If many junior wizards come in later.”

“ok.”

“Even if I step down from the front line. Please let everyone come to say hello to me every time they come in.”

“ok?”

It was an outrageous request.

Lily explained the reason to me who blinked.

“He boasts that he is a wizard, but his talent is so-so. I couldn’t even train under a good master, let alone get educated in the ivory tower.”

“Mmm.”

To be honest, Lily is an R-rated character.

It is also a second-class mercenary who has flowed into the poor frontline like the monster front.

It is not a case of great talent or high achievement for a wizard. I know myself well.

“Aren’t there going to be a lot of great and talented wizards coming to the frontlines in the future? Only then will I be able to be fixed as an office worker.”

“That’s right.”

“At that time, I didn’t want to be ignored by the proud geniuses and talented juniors.”

Lily spit it out quickly, as if she had been holding it in her heart.

“Please treat me properly as a senior mage. Even if I can’t walk, even if I have an office job, I’m just fine as a wizard.”

“… .”

I nodded heavily.

“If no one is ignoring you, I’ll take responsibility and beat you up.”

I couldn’t walk while protecting all of us.

So, I was forced into an office job.

What does your achievement as a wizard have to do with it?

No matter how many hundreds or thousands of talented wizards there are in the world, Lily is the one who has crossed the edge of death together since Stage 0.

“Will I not be able to do that much to our supreme master? Don’t worry about that, Lily.”

I can do anything except retirement, Lily!

“That’s all right… .”

Lily sighed and turned her gaze back to the artifact.

“I won’t run away, so don’t worry, I’ll join you right away if you call.”

“okay. Thanks Lily.”

There are two wizards in the Aegis task force right now, so I’ll have to give them a heads up tomorrow.

After looking at the anti-aircraft artifacts nearing the end of repair and the people working silently, I left the workshop.

***

In the carriage back to the mansion.

I was struggling with the stats of the current characters spread out in front of me.

Jupiter, the main attacker in wide area, is out of stage, but he got a sub party.

The upbringing status of the main party isn’t bad either.

‘How can I fight this stage with maximum efficiency… … .’

I come up with various combinations and strategies in my head.

sparkle.

The traitor’s necklace on her neck glowed. The inside of the wagon is almost sparkling.

I wondered and groped my neck.

‘This?’

Add-on function attached to the necklace.

The [Dark Event Tracker] was working. A system window popped up in front of me.

[Dark event notice for STAGE 4!]

Dark event.

The shitty ordeal that ‘someone’ deliberately gave me to ruin this game.

It activated all three times in the last stage, and as expected, it activated again this time.

‘So, what is this time? Let’s find out where.’

And what came to mind… … .

[Activated Dark Event: Boss Monster Added]

> One more boss monster will appear.

What?

My eyes widened. Does that mean there are two boss monsters?

Let’s open the enemy information window with the flagship

[Enemy Information – STAGE 4]

– Lv.? ??? : 2

– Lv.15 Rock Gargoyle: 360

– Lv.20 Steel Gargoyle: 242 It’s

real! Really two!

“The boss mob is copied?!”

In pain, I ran my hand over my forehead.

The boss monster of the gargoyle army is a tough guy, but if there are two of them… … .

‘Oh no. Let’s think positively as much as possible!’

I switched my thinking to hope circuit mode.

‘You’re eating twice as many drops from the boss! Double the experience! A double event, a double event!’

no it’s not empty words

The boss battles are very intense, but the rewards are doubled.

Did Nietzsche say The pain that doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

There’s no word more true than this in an RPG.

‘Yeah look down on a more terrible dark event! Send me more boss mobs and stronger enemies!’

It’s about Tactic, where you face two boss monsters, because it’s normal in the middle and latter half of the game.

Tactics soon began to assemble in my head.

It’s not difficult to clear the conditions as long as you know in advance.

‘Don’t chew and eat them all. You fucking monsters.’

I was already thinking about what kind of item to make with the ingredients of the two gargoyle boss monsters.

I’ll chew them all up, level up, pick up a lot of items, and push into your stronghold.

And I’ll make you regret making me stronger through trials while keeping me alive.

The carriage quickly approached the mansion. The weather was overcast, as if dark clouds were gathering in the distance.

Stage 4 was approaching with strides along with the dreary smell of rain.
