Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 100
◈ 100. [[Evil Side] In hell
the crown was dreaming.
last player.
The ultimate traitor and challenger.
3It was a scene where Prince Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack was shouting at himself with his pitch black eyes shining..
- ‘The Pied Piper’……!
“omg!”
Taking a deep breath, Crown opened his eyes..
A safe base between areas 3 and 4 of the Lake Kingdom dungeon - the base camp was completely covered in darkness..
Only the permanent magic stone embedded in the corner was emitting a dull light..
The crown was sitting against the wall beneath the magic stone..
‘Looks like you fell asleep.’
When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep? I don't even remember.
Crown tried to run a hand down his tired face..
But then he realized that his face was covered with a funny mask..
“…….”
Crown slowly looked down at his hands and then at his body..
Black cone hat, bard outfit.
And the smiling mask.
“……under.”
How much time has passed since I wore these ridiculous clothes and acted like a clown? She gave up even counting..
Suddenly, I remembered the scene where Third Prince Ash was yelling at me again..
‘The Pied Piper, he says?’
The Pied Piper.
There was a fable like that in the Lake Kingdom too..
When a village was infested with rats, the villagers hired a bard to get rid of them..
The bard controlled the rats by playing his flute and killed them all by drowning them in the lake..
However, the villagers, who were short of money, did not pay the bard the promised price..
The angry bard played his flute again and manipulated the village children into drowning them all in the lake..
‘It's too much, really.’
Crown clicked his tongue bitterly..
‘It's too accurate.…….’
It was then.
“crown.”
An inorganic voice was heard.
Crown turned around to see one of Nightcrawler's troops standing next to him..
“What's going on?.”
“The army commanders under the Demon King are being summoned. Looks like there is a government meeting today..”
Before the royal palace).
royal conference, la.
Crown's mouth twisted beneath the mask..
A Nightcrawler member asked slowly..
“Are you going to attend??”
“……I have to go.”
Crown slowly stood up. The joints of my entire body creaked, as if I were a wooden doll..
“Anyway, I am the spokesperson for the Lake Kingdom..”
“…….”
“Even if this kingdom has been reduced to a colony of demons..”
Crown stumbled out of the base camp and began walking toward the center of the Lake Kingdom..
A member of the Nightcrawler unit shouted at him in a low-pitched voice..
“Please travel carefully..”
“Be careful…….”
Crown shook his head..
“If I'm not careful, I'll die, or something like that.…….”
***
The very center of the Lake Kingdom.
Here, a huge skyscraper stands tall, shrouded in pitch-black fog..
voraciousness.
This place, once the most prosperous and beautiful place in the Lake Kingdom, is now covered in dripping, soggy darkness..
The Crown calmly entered the dark palace..
《It's a clown.》
《That fool who knows no shame.》
The palace gatekeeper demons giggled at him. But Crown didn't care and walked through it..
After walking along the corridor for a while, a wide hall unfolded..
throne room.
It was a space where subjects met the king..
There were three thrones on the platform, but the two thrones on the left and right were badly destroyed and empty..
Only on the center throne sat a vague, shadowy figure..
With a brilliant gold crown on top of his head. While quietly looking at the chessboard next to the throne,.
“…….”
Crown stared at the shadow for a moment and then turned his gaze down the platform..
There was a long table under the platform and huge chairs..
And there were nine monsters sitting.
《It's too late, Crown.!》
Among the monsters, a werewolf with a silver-red mane shouted cheerfully..
《How dare you, a lowly human being, be late for a meeting called by the Demon King! Don’t you humans even know the concept of shame??》
“Because I am a lowly human being…….”
Crown muttered quietly and sat in the last seat..
“To the dregs born from those people's nightmares. That's funny.”
《what? This cheeky-》
《Leave it alone.》
A deep voice rang from the throne..
The king opened his mouth. The werewolf immediately shut his mouth..
《Well, Crown is a clown. You have to ridicule, make fun of, satirize, humor, and criticize. That's that person's main job..》
“…….”
《And Crown isn't entirely wrong. Because you all have collected the nightmares of humans and distilled them from their fragments..》
The king's voice became a little stern..
《However, the thing that allows the people here to dream of immortality and the thing that makes that dream come true is Jim..》
“…….”
《Isn't that right, Crown??》
“……You are right..”
《Don't Forget, Crown.》
The king's voice became increasingly heavy. Crown felt an intangible force settle over his head and shoulders..
《All humans here in the Lake Kingdom are livestock for our military. Supplying nightmares when we need them… … They are no different from the cows or pigs you raised..》
“…….”
《Always be grateful that such livestock was brought to the table. Do you understand??》
By the time the King had finished speaking, the Crown was lying almost entirely on the table..
Crown nodded silently..
There was no shame in submitting to the power of the king..
To be humiliated by something like this, the humiliation I had endured over the past infinite years was too great..
《Okay, let’s end this story here..》
The king changed the topic. The pressure of speech that was weighing down Crown’s body also disappeared..
《The reason your corps commanders have been summoned today, as you know, is because the time of the ‘Great Flood’ has come..》
The king nodded and looked back at the corps commanders..
《So, one of you will have to lead an army to invade the human world..》
The king's eyes looked at the corps commanders one by one..
Eventually the king raised his hand and tried to point at the werewolf..
《After all, it is still the ‘early stage’, so the low-ranking Inrang tribe-》
《your majesty.》
at that time.
Someone dared to interrupt the king and raise his hand..
《please send me.》
《Hoo.》
The one who raised his hand was a boy with pale skin and dark blue hair. Crown glanced at him..
Nightmare Corps Commander Rank 5th.
The head of a blood family. Essence of Vampires).
No Life King. Nosferatu. Dracula-
《Celendion.》
The king recited the boy's name in a joyful voice..
《That's surprising. You claim to be the vanguard. Didn’t you hate stepping forward??》
《…….》
Celendion, the clan commander, was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth..
《The humans on earth killed Orlop..》
《Oh my.》
《I want revenge. Please allow it.》
Black Spider Queen, Orlop.
He was a strong man, ranked 6th in rank as a corps commander, but absurdly, he was killed by a cannon shot. Even during reconnaissance operations..
It was a vain and sudden end. It was something that even the king did not expect..
《that's right! They killed Orlop!》
《Dare to talk about livestock!》
《‘If it weren't for 'The One Who Lost His Name', the trash would have perished long ago.!》
The table became noisy when the story of Orlop's death came up. The king waved his hand..
《Don't get too excited. Anyway, Orlop will survive again ‘next time’.》
Oops, the king who made the sound chuckled..
《Of course, it's a concept you don't understand..》
‘The corps commanders were confused as they did not understand what ‘next’ meant..
“…….”
Crown kept quiet and kept his mouth shut..
《Anyway, okay. I like it. I think it's more fun than anything.》
The king nodded to Celendion..
《Celendion. Permission to go out In 4 weeks ground time, begin the invasion..》
《I obey the king's orders.》
Selendion stood up and bowed politely towards the king..
《Okay, this agenda has been settled. Next is the nightmare supply and demand problem for the entire kingdom.-》
It was then that the king was discussing the next matter..
thud!
The door to the throne room opened roughly, and a gatekeeper demon came in gasping..
《I am sorry, Your Majesty.!》
《What's going on??》
《‘The 'one who lost his name' has invaded……!》
The table began to buzz. Crown also opened his eyes wide..
The king sighed softly and asked again..
《alone?》
《I'm short.》
《Well, I guess so. It's always been like that.》
《So, I think it would be best to end the meeting here and close the palace gates for today.…….》
It was before the gatekeeper devil even finished speaking..
pucak-!
The upper body of the gatekeeper demon shattered into pieces with a flash of light..
A long sword flew from far away and stuck in the back of the gatekeeper demon, causing an explosion of light at the same time..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
Inyoung, who calmly walked down the hallway, slowly retrieved the sword from the corpse of the gatekeeper demon..
《You guy!》
《This blasphemous man, even before my presence!》
All the commanders of the flagship corps stood up from their seats..
“Good night, you monsters..”
The person who walked into the demons' base was a woman wearing tattered robes..
His bleached white hair was dragging on the floor, and the sword in his hand was so old that it looked like nothing more than a piece of metal..
The king let out a sigh towards such an opponent..
《You never get tired, and you continue to fight a truly meaningless fight. unknown).》
“Well, that's right. Because it is my job to clean up the dust that accumulates no matter how much you wipe it..”
A dungeon merchant wandering the bottom of the lake kingdom..
The NPC who initially guided Ash and his group - Nameless adjusted his sword..
“It may be new, but I came to see you..”
The king shook his head..
《How long has it been since you started swinging that sword? A hundred years? Five hundred years? No, how many thousands of years??》
“I do not know. I forgot everything.”
《No matter how hard you try, your kingdom will not be saved, never. You just wander through this hell for eternity..》
“Then I will fight forever and ever.”
The nameless old sword slowly began to emit light..
“If that's my mission, I'll do it.”
The corps commanders who stood in front of the unknown took out their weapons..
Both sides were in a state of tension as if they would clash at any moment..
Step by step. Step by step.
and.
Crown walked out of the throne room in such a critical state as if nothing had happened..
“…….”
“…….”
The shoulders of the crown and nameless brushed against each other. But the two didn't even look at each other..
《Hahahahahaha!》
The king was shocked when he saw that scene..
《Those who surrender and those who resist? ha ha ha! I like them all! Either way, it's the stuff of great nightmares.!》
Crown muttered quietly as he left the royal castle, listening to the demon king's roar..
“It's pointless resistance. Nightmares never end.”
With his sword raised in front of him, Mu-myeong thought indifferently..
“Even so, someone has to light the lamp..”
Nameless thought. The countless people who died to brighten the darkness of this kingdom.
And the faces of Ash and his group who are taking on a new challenge..
“Someone followed that lantern... … Because it can shine a new light.”
Taat-!
Rushing straight towards the monsters, Nameless thrust out his sword..
The duel that had unfolded countless times in the hell below the Lake Kingdom was being repeated once again..
