Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 144
◈ 144. [STAGE 5] Vampire King
12time ago.
The night before stage 5 starts.
As I was worrying about tactics until the very end, Junior came to me saying he had something to talk about..
“majesty. There are a few more things I'm hiding... … You knew?”
I nodded..
Junior's Characteristics [Fox Den]].
It is a trait that hides one's abilities..
[fox earth]
- Always leave an escape hole. To gain a trump card, lie to your opponent about your abilities..
Junior had this trait from the beginning, so it was difficult to determine his exact stats..
“Of course, I thought you knew..”
Junior smiled bitterly and carefully took off the glove on his left hand..
The back of her left hand, revealed to the world, was covered in burns from childhood, and at the same time, a clear magic pattern appeared..
I opened my eyes wide..
“This…….”
“Your Majesty, you know what this is.?”
I nodded heavily. Junior put her gloves back on her hands..
“I said I showed you all my abilities last time, but that was a lie. I was hiding it one step further..”
“…….”
“But I won't hide it anymore.”
I quietly opened the system window and checked Junior's stats..
Junior's real level, real skills, and real characteristics…….
I let out a small sigh.
“……The fact that you showed me what you were hiding means that you are mentally prepared??”
“yes. I just finished it.”
Junior smiled vaguely..
“I have the skills and mental preparation to give the vampire king a shot. entire.”
“…….”
Junior told me about the results and achievements of his magical research that he had been delving into over the past few days..
I, who had been listening with my chin resting, slowly opened my mouth..
“I also have one skill I gained this time..”
When I cleared the last dungeon, my level was already 36.
I had already acquired skill 2..
However, it is not a skill that is usually difficult to apply, so I was thinking about sealing it at this stage..
If you link up with Junior, you can use it in this stage as well..
I explained my skillset to Junior. Junior looked at me with a surprised face..
“If so, if I join your power with yours,…….”
“No matter how much of a vampire lord I am, I can easily kill him..”
Immediately after, I shook my head slightly..
“But, Junior. you… … Are you really okay? If you use that magic you…….”
“are you okay.”
Junior answered emphatically and let out his characteristic fox-like smile..
“majesty. I've wanted to be a wizard my whole life.”
“…….”
“And this front line was the first place in my life where I was treated like a proper wizard. The moment His Majesty gave me my first salary, I decided to show my full potential here..”
I really appreciate your words, but…….
I sighed..
“Still, your grandmother will be sad..”
“Didn't I tell you before??”
Junior said clearly.
“I never once thought that that person was my grandmother..”
“…….”
“Okay then, Your Highness.?”
Junior smiled as he imagined the magic circle behind his back..
“For our combo skills tomorrow, let's cram all night long.?”

today.
On the castle wall. Stage 5 final battle.
Taat-!
Celendion attacked head-on..
It was that invisible speed that was shown before on the loser's path..
But it was different then. This time my party members were reacting..
The first to block Celendion was Evangeline..
Evangeline's eyes were sparkling emerald green as if she had turned on a night vision goggles..
Exclusive Attribute [Crossroad].
Evangeline's intuition itself, showing the optimal battle path!
Celendion's outstretched hand and Evangeline's shield touched..
In an instant, red light exploded from Selendion's fingertips, and Evangeline's shield radiated white light and tried to absorb the attack..
However, the damage absorption capacity limit is reached in an instant..
Waji string!
The iron plate that made up the shield was crumpled like a piece of paper, and the shield on Evangeline's left arm was crushed..
The gauntlet covering Evangeline's left arm was also shattered..
A strange thing appeared in Celendion's eyes..
《Whoa. It reacts to my movements.》
Even though her left arm was thrown backwards, Evangeline shouted with her signature cheeky smile..
“Are you just reacting, you bastard?-!”
The cavalry spear in Evangeline's right hand was thrust forward..
slap!
But, I avoid it..
Celendion flexibly twisted his small body to avoid the tip of Evangeline's spear without difficulty..
And Evangeline also expected that far..
“I can't avoid this-!”
The tip of Evangeline's cavalry blazed white..
Took bang-!
[Damage Payback], in which all the damage just absorbed was condensed, exploded at the tip of the spear..
《It wasn't bad but…….》
However, even that attack was blocked by Selendion by deploying a shield using blood magic..
Celendion brushed off his fingertips, lifted Evangeline's body up with magic, and threw it to the side..
《Since there are only three prepared, how can you stop me?!》
The direction in which Celendion threw Evangeline's body was in the direction where Lucas was running after her..
“Wow!?!”
“Pfft?!”
Crunchy soup!
The two knights tangled together and rolled on the floor..
At this moment, the potential is empty.
Lucas quickly got up and started running again, but only a few seconds passed..
those few seconds.
A few seconds was already enough. Celen Dion kicked off his seat and shot forward again..
towards me.
He honestly rushed in frontally to suck my blood as he was chosen as his first prey..
Damian, Old Girl, and Skull, standing behind and on either side of me, began firing in salvos. Fu shoot! Fu shoot! piping-!
The rain of arrows was engulfed in gusts of wind, ice, and flames..
The three of them shared the attribute-granting enchantment scroll given to Damian..
patter!
However, Selendion continued to run forward, snatching each silver arrow from its shaft with his hands and deflecting the remaining silver arrows with magic..
He's the lord of vampires.
It is a monster that is skilled in both physical strengthening and magic, which are the skill trees of vampires..
Unless you can neutralize both your body and your magic, it is nearly impossible to stop him..
‘So we have to stop both sides.…….’
I quickly looked both ways..
The ‘means’ to block it are not yet ready.!
In the blink of an eye, Celendion arrived right in front of me..
I have no intention of sitting still and dying! I shouted.
“Summons-!”
[Summoning Magic: Chimera Origin]
- This spell is one-time use. When used, it disappears from the skill list.
- The level of the summoned animal is the same as the level of the summoned character. You can only have one pet at a time.
- Please specify the location to summon.
It was the summoning magic of Chimera Origin obtained during the last Colosseum exploration..
The summoning location is of course the front!
flashing-!
A geometric magic circle was drawn, and a monster with a mixture of animals such as lions, goats, snakes, and other animals jumped out in front of me..
The origin of all chimeras. Chimera Origin.
This guy is also a boss level monster. It will hold out for a while against Celendion..
I thought so.
《This battlefield is pure, just for me and humans.!》
A roar burst from the mouth of the Vampire King who discovered the traitor..
《Don't interfere, mudblood.-!》
Powok!
When Celendion waved his hand, Chimera Origin's body exploded..
The monster pet with poisonous blood was shattered in an absurdly simple way..
And Celendion reached me through the pieces of meat and blood.-
Suddenly.
grabbed my collar.
Celendion's smiling mouth opened wide..
The four flashing fangs above and below emit a bloody light, and fall straight towards my neck.-
Phuwak!
bitten.
The arm caught in between.
I was surprised to see that the person who put his arm between Celendion's teeth and my neck was... … It was an old girl.
Even though her arm was bitten by a vampire and the blood was quickly sucked out, the old girl looked back at me with a calm expression and raised her hand... … seemed to shake it.
Smiling like usual.
The next moment, the old girl, who had sucked the life out of her entire body, made a loud noise and knelt on the floor..
I was sucked in with all my might by a vampire lord..
There is no way I can survive. The old girl was as dry as an old tree, twisted and dead..
I look at this scene dumbfounded.,
“Prince!”
widely!
Damien, who was standing behind me, grabbed my shoulders and yanked me back..
At the same time, the Skull standing to my right pulled out a silver dagger from his waist and rushed forward..
“Your opponent is me, vampire.-!”
Archers engage in close combat..
What are you doing, Skull? Plus, you're good at long-distance sniping..
I wanted to stop him, but I didn't even have time to do so. Skull, as his code name and specialty, swung a dagger aiming at the enemy's head.,
Bubbling bubbling-!
Celendion's entire body was shattered by the blood magic he wielded as if he was annoyed..
The drops of Skull's blood scattered in the air did not fall to the ground, but stopped short, and were all sucked into Celendion's mouth..
Celendion, who killed Old Girl and Skull in a matter of seconds, savored the taste of blood in his mouth and clicked his tongue..
《……Is it an elf? hmm. Not bad for a first meal.》
The monster with the face of a boy raised its mouth towards me..
《Of course, I need to eat you to get rid of this hunger, Ash.?》
Damian was desperately trying to pull me back, but Celendion was approaching much faster..
Celendion walked towards me with his mouth wide open, as if he was joking.-
Phuwak!
The next moment, Lucas' long sword flashed and fell behind Selendion's back..
《uh?》
At the same time an embarrassed moan escaped Celendion's mouth.,
Sigh! Phew! Boom! Puhuaak!
Lucas' long sword brutally cut Selendion's back and neck..
A long sword made of holy silver cut through Selendion's spirit core, and Selendion, unable to withstand it, fell forward and fell to his knees..
deeply-!
Finally, Lucas' long sword pierced Celendion's chest and leapt forward. By accurately penetrating the spiritual core,.
Seong exposed and even destroyed the Vampire King's spiritual core just by activating his skill [Strike of Will] with his long sword..
《……What is that condition, article??》
Selendion, who was coughing up blood, slowly turned around..
《It's not like they're human... … It seems like we're in the same area. I can even feel a sense of kinship..》
“…….”
Lucas was a little different from usual..
His lowered posture was like a wolf crawling on all fours, and his blue eyes through his tangled blond hair gave off a dangerous glow like a wild beast..
The heat emanating from behind my back shimmered like a haze..
I swallowed dry saliva..
‘No way, this guy Lucas…….’
[Did you write [Beast Painting]??
That needs to be stopped! If you use that characteristic……!
《Thanks to you, I didn't detect it. This is true…….》
Celendion's body fell to the floor.,
《……You're making me waste my life. That's amazing.》
Immediately after, he got up again as if nothing had happened..
