Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 140
◈ 140. [STAGE 5] N grade (3)
The five vampires slowly approached to finish off the Old Hunters' mercenaries who were still alive..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
Looking at the approaching guys, Janich, whose limbs were torn apart by the blood magic bombardment, chuckled..
The other fallen tanks also chuckled. A vampire frowned at this sight..
《Why are you smiling, human? Aren’t you afraid of death??》
“Of course dying is scary. But, you damn mosquitoes.”
Crowl, rumble…….
Thunder sounded in the sky.
The vampires were also surprised by this phenomenon and looked up at the sky. Jenić burst into laughter..
“You too should be afraid of lightning.!”
Rumbling!
A flash of light illuminated the area, accompanied by a vicious thunderclap.-
“……Phew.”
The image of an old wizard standing at the other end of the castle wall was revealed in a flash of light..
A man with white hair blowing in the gusts of wind, a long stream of smoke blowing out from a cigar in his mouth, and a beautiful blue glow shining from his only eye..
SR grade lightning magician. It was Jupiter.
A magic orb was floating above Jupiter's raised right fist, and bright yellow thunderbolts were sparking..
“This is why the job of a wizard is so difficult..”
Jupiter growled, chewing his cigar..
“No matter how many of our allies die, we must not sortie until the situation is right. Because wizards are more valuable than other soldiers who maintain the front line with their lives..”
Rainwater poured under the dark clouds and soaked Jupiter's old imperial uniform..
Rainwater poured down on the cigar in my mouth and the fire quickly went out..
Hehe!
Jupiter spit out his cigar on the floor without hesitation, raising the corners of his mouth and laughing..
“Even from a wizard's perspective, it's a really shitty thing to do. Sipal.”
Blood flowed from Jupiter's nose and mouth as he was forcibly gathering magical power..
Junior, standing next to him, placed his hand on the grandmother's shoulder..
“I'll help you, grandma..”
“Go to maximum output. Follow me carefully.”
Jupiter looked to the side and shouted..
“Lily! Turn on the magic power amplifier, the target is me!”
Lily, who was waiting, activated the magic amplifier artifact. Immediately, a soft blue light appeared on Jupiter's body..
“Hey, you c-leech-foot bastards.”
Raise the magic orb upward, containing more magical power than the allowable capacity and trembling as if it might explode..
Jupiter roared and thrust his fist forward..
“Let's see how strong and delicious you are.!”
And then, lightning struck..
Kugwagwagwagwang!
A bright yellow thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck five vampires precisely..
Jupiter's Thunderbolt is an area-wide magic. It is difficult to precisely aim at a small number of targets..
But, if they have a silver sword stuck in their body.
Provided that a clear magical catalyst provides guidance. Moreover, if it is a metal that conducts electricity,.
“A precision strike, is there anything you can’t do?-!”
With Jupiter's exciting cry, the five vampires were struck by lightning..
《nice-?!》
《kuhhh……?!》
《Wow!》
The five vampires let out ugly screams..
Originally, it was an attack that they could easily withstand..
But, the silver sword.
The silver sword embedded in the body served as a catalyst to amplify the magic..
The lightning that fell on the silver sword multiplied its power several times within the vampires' bodies, burning the monsters' bodies to pitch black..
furthermore.
“one more shot-!”
Jupiter's 2nd skill, [Bleaching Again], deals additional damage to enemies marked by 1st skill.!
Kugwagwagwanggwang!
This time, a sharp thunderbolt fell on the vampires..
It was a powerful blow that seemed to evaporate every last drop of blood remaining in the vampires' bodies..
As a result, the unstable spirit core unique to vampires materialized and clearly emerged on each person's chest or head..
And the snipers didn't miss it.
“-It seemed.”
Damian, who was waiting, fired his crossbow..
Fu shoot! Fu shoot! Push shot!
The three arrows that flew into the castle accurately pierced the spirit cores of the three vampires..
The three vampires, whose spiritual cores were torn apart, died immediately without even being able to utter a proper scream..
《Ugh, ugh.!》
《That's it, you little bastards.……!》
The other two vampires quickly regenerated their bodies and tried to crawl away from the line of fire..
“That doesn't work.”
“was waiting.”
Old Girl and Skull, who came first, were standing in their retreat..
In their hands were the magic gun Damian had lent them, as well as Woodpecker and Cerberus..
《this person……!》
《Those bug-like bastards! Soon the Lord will kill you-!》
Tuta tata-!
Taang! Taang! taang!
Skull and Old Girl did not spare any effort and fired magic bullets at the spirit cores of those who were trying to talk more..
It was a magic gun that was difficult to handle without Damian's transcendent aiming ability, but Woodpecker and Cerberus were both low-grade and small, so they could be used without difficulty..
A moment later, when the hazy smoke cleared, the two vampires, who had become rags from the baptism of magic bullets, were revealed..
“Five ordinary vampires. Destruction of the spirit core has been confirmed..”
Damian, who was watching from afar, confirmed the death of five vampires. Afterwards, he saw the corpse of his friend and gritted his teeth..
“And our troops' losses are…….”
“Stop looking here, Damian..”
Jupiter stretched out his hand and covered Damian's eyes..
“There's more work to do.”
“…….”
“The death of your allies is not something you can handle. So, rest your eyes… … Do you want to join the battlefield over there?.”
“……yes.”
Damian quietly kept his mouth shut and turned to the side..
Then, with a face holding back tears, the other party members slowly began to head towards where they were dealing with the vampire general..
‘okay. The body of our ally... … It's not your job to take away the guilt..’
Swallowing the blood welling up inside, Jupiter walked towards the mountain of corpses of his allies..
‘It's for old people like me.’
Junior urgently approached Jupiter..
“Grandma, come here. I will help you manage your magic power..”
Junior, who had just helped Jupiter use his magic and learned about Jupiter's physical condition, looked worried..
But Jupiter shook his head violently..
“Don't worry about me, you go too. Move with Damien.”
“However, the grandmother’s body…….”
“These guys are just minnows. The real monsters are out there, and the battle begins now..”
Jupiter grabbed Junior's shoulder and pushed him back..
“And I need you in that battle.”
“…….”
“Hurry up and go!”
Junior's hesitation was short-lived..
“See you later, grandma.”
Junior nodded, turned around and quickly ran to the battlefield over there..
“……after.”
Jupiter walked among the corpses of his allies, pressing his aching heart with his hand..
The corpses of our soldiers who had fallen first were also charred by Jupiter's lightning. There were almost no survivors..
The same was true for Jupiter's party, the Old Hunters..
“jenic.”
Jupiter called out his name as he looked down at his colleague who had been hit by blood magic..
Jenić suffered torn limbs. It was an injury that there was no way he could survive. Jenich smiled with a pale complexion..
“Don't look at me like that..”
“…….”
“You knew this would happen and brought us together, Jupiter..”
The four mercenaries of the Old Hunters gathered by Jupiter were all people with a grudge against vampires..
That's why I ran straight to Jupiter's call. They say you can deal with vampires.
“It was nice to finally be able to give those vampires a shot..”
Jenich smiled faintly and slowly turned his head..
“but…….”
At the end of his line of sight, there was the corpse of a mercenary member of Dion who had died horribly..
“It's a little sad that young people died.…….”
Cheek-
Jupiter calmly put a cigar in his mouth, lit it, and then placed it in Janich's mouth..
Janić quietly sucked in the smoke and chuckled and gestured..
“Dion Mercenaries, this is what these guys did..”
“…….”
“We almost ruined everything, but in the end we sacrificed our lives to do it. These guys are the ones who mastered killing these vampires..”
“What use is there in majoring? I died.”
The young people who were smiling cheerfully just a few minutes ago are no longer there..
Just a cold, shredded corpse.
“The front here can go one step further with the deaths of these friends. But what good is that?.”
Jupiter placed a gloved hand on his face..
To Jupiter, the deaths of the Dion mercenaries did not appear to be theirs alone..
all young people.
And the death of my granddaughter that will come someday... … They were showing overlap.
“Dreams, ambitions... … It all disappeared for no reason. What is the meaning of major?.”
“You can't say that, Jupiter. We are mercenaries, aren't we?.”
Janich muttered in a dying voice..
“The major you have achieved this way is truly meaningful..”
“…….”
“The light that barely reached me while burning my whole body... … Isn’t praying for meaning the life of mercenaries like us?.”
Janich could no longer puff on his cigar and chuckled..
Jupiter took the cigar out of his mouth and muttered quietly..
“I hope that death has meaning. In the death of those young people and in the death of our old people.”
Jenić’s voice faded as he laughed..
“Our era, the era of the veterans, is coming to an end. Now those young people... … It's a new era to open.”
“…….”
“May the future be bright…….”
Janich closed his eyes and muttered..
“Little children, bloom flowers…….”
Eventually, Janić stopped breathing..
Jupiter did not agree with everything Jenich said, but he strongly sympathized with one thing..
The era of old soldiers was coming to an end.
In the future, a battlefield for young people will unfold..
Life and death.
Glory and defeat. Victory and humiliation. It will all belong to young people..
There is not much time left until we can carry that heavy burden together..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
The rest of the Old Hunters' mercenaries came and stood next to Janić's body..
All of them were injured. I lost my arm, my side was pierced, and my shoulder was blown off..
but it didn't die.
“Those who are still alive go to the healer over there and get some treatment and return right away..”
Jupiter looked away. Other mercenaries also looked there..
bang! Quaguagwang……!
A fierce battle was taking place on the other side of the castle wall..
Two vampire generals and our elite heroes are engaged in a decisive battle..
“The battle against the real monsters is still far away..”
As if lighting incense, he placed a half-lit cigar in front of the pile of corpses of our soldiers..
Jupiter gritted his teeth and turned around..
“Why use old people if they become a burden even if they can't be of help??”
***
N-rank heroes must prove themselves.
There's only one chance.
A moment of being thrown onto the battlefield. We must seize that first and last opportunity.
Useless. Usefulness. The value of life. have to show.
To get out of the shadows and into the light.
To receive the spotlight on stage, at least for convenience.
…….
Dion's mercenary group was annihilated..
I could not endure the horrors of the battlefield. Couldn't overcome the pressure of actual combat.
The formation was broken and the tactics were violated. As a result, everyone died..
However, Dion's mercenaries achieved their mission..
He drove silver swords into the bodies of the vampires one by one, and was able to kill them all using this..
He was given a chance, he proved useful, but he died in the end..
And you will never get a second chance again.
The dreams they had cooled together in the cold corpses..
…….
I will never forget their names.
But I haven't forgotten them... … What meaning remains??
《What are you thinking??》
Celendion spoke. I was startled and looked ahead..
The Vampire King was smiling and shaking the wine glass in his hand..
《What can I do when I count the number of subordinates who have already died??》
Looking at me with bright red eyes, as if looking deep into the inside of this place..
The Vampire King spoke quietly..
《The friends I really care about are going to die from now on..》
