Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 196
◈ 196. [[Free exploration] Warning
“It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you, Unknown. How have you been??”
How do you calm down an angry Kelly Bay?.
I pretended to be friendly and approached an unknown person..
‘This guy is a dungeon merchant NPC who sells all kinds of items in the dungeon.!’
Last time, they gave me two pieces of SSR grade equipment for free. I'm thinking deep down that he's an incredibly good guy..
If it sticks well, the bean paste may fall out again.!
Myeong shrugged his shoulders when I greeted him..
“Here in the Lake Kingdom, daily life is always the same. Kill the monster, light the lamp, and… … praying.”
It was hard to see her expression because it was obscured by her scattered white hair and hood, but I could tell that her mouth was smiling bitterly..
“I'm here today to repair equipment..”
“equipment?”
“my sword.”
The nameless gestured toward Kelly Bay's blacksmith shop..
“The only person here who can repair my sword is Kelly Bay..”
When I looked over there, I saw Kelly Bay with a sullen expression, striking an old sword..
It was the old long sword that Mu-myeong always carried on his back..
Kang-! Gang-!
Every time the hammer fell on the blade, a dazzling bright light leaked out. It seems like some kind of magical process is going on..
“Since it's been a while since we've seen each other, let me give you some advice. ash.”
Nameless turned his eyes from the sword being repaired to face me and slowly blurted out..
“Some of the nightmare army commanders are targeting you..”
“Nightmare Corps Commander?”
“You probably know that this Lake Kingdom is occupied by monsters..”
Of course it is. The whole place is a field of monsters. When they fill the floor here and overflow, they will attack Crossroads..
“There are countless types of monsters in the Lake Kingdom. And for each monster corps, there is an entity called a leader or corps commander..”
Unknown glanced at the road leading to the other side of the base camp..
The other side of the road was covered in complete darkness and nothing could be seen..
“The top 10 most powerful legions of monsters. Corps commanders ranked 10th in rank are called ‘Nightmare Corps Commanders’..”
You're talking about the ten strongest bosses..
I shrugged calmly..
“Are you saying those friends are targeting me? But isn’t it natural for monsters to target humans??”
“yes. It's natural. But Ash, they are trying to kill you specifically..”
Nameless looked at my party members standing over there..
“You and your companions have already defeated two of the nightmare commanders. No wonder they're starting to be wary of you..”
“…….”
“Even so, Orlop, when you defeat Selendion, you have no choice but to attract the attention of monsters..”
In short, the monsters put a mark on my head. 'Wanted: Dead or Alive' Well, a wanted bounty was issued like this..
“The deeper you head into the Lake Kingdom, the easier it will be for them to find your traces and send out pursuers. In the worst case, the corps commander may show up to kill you directly..”
I snorted and crossed my arms..
“They're the ones you have to kill outside anyway, so it's not okay to meet them and fight them in advance.?”
“This is their base..”
Nameless shook his head slightly..
“Monsters face many restrictions on their abilities outside of the Lake Kingdom. But here you can unleash your full power without any restrictions..”
…… If you appear as a boss in a defense stage, you will receive a reverse stat correction, so it is worth catching, but if you encounter it in a dungeon, there is no such thing.?
“I overestimate the potential of you and your allies, Ash. Above all, I am honored that I have not given up until now..”
Nameless warned in a gentle but stern voice..
“But at the current level of your party, if you encounter the Nightmare Corps Commander in the darkness here... … It will be difficult to guarantee your life.”
“…….”
Suddenly, I remembered the time I encountered Celendion on the 'Loser's Path' in this dungeon..
Surely our party was almost annihilated by Celendion at that time..
It was a species that wanted to kill itself, so they let us live, but there will be no such luck next time..
If you encounter the corps commander in the dungeon again, you must fight for your life..
And corps commanders without stage reversal correction will demonstrate truly nightmarish power..
“Future exploration will be even more difficult..”
That's right. From dungeon depth 6 onwards, the nickname is the Demon Realm. Because each dungeon is difficult..
In this situation, you have to pay attention to the behavior of the enemy corps commander.…….
The level of difficulty is constantly increasing, like adding content to a hamburger. Patty, lettuce, cheese and sauce…….
I'm going to explode at this rate!
Anonymous stared at me blankly.
“I will not laugh at you even if you do not go any further and step back from here. There were very few people who came this far..”
“That won't happen.”
I grinned..
“As long as I can see the way, I will never give up on strategy..”
Although it is difficult and terrible. There is clearly a way out.
So, walk. One step at a time. One step at a time. That's all..
“…….”
Even the unknown smiled vaguely at me..
“May your words be true, and good luck to you and your colleagues in the future..”
At that time, Kelly Bay screamed from over there..
“cotton! The repair is done, take it.!”
Nameless went there and took the sword, then nodded and put the long sword on his back..
“Good. Thank you always, Kelly Bay.”
Nameless tried to pay, but Kelly Bay waved his hand and refused. Nameless bowed her head slightly..
“And, Ash.”
As I was walking with long strides into the darkness on the other side of the base camp, the unknown person stopped for a moment and said..
“Don't go this way today.”
I blinked as I was thinking of resuming my quest for the next dungeon starting today..
“uh? why?”
“little… … I'm going to clean it up. It would be better not to come here today. then.”
Nameless smiled vaguely and disappeared into the darkness. Eventually, even the sound of her distant footsteps became unheard..
“…….”
I was looking in that direction, then turned to Kelly Bay and asked..
“What on earth is that person??”
“ok? We're friends without even knowing that.?”
I don't know what it is, but I tell you the way, give you items, and give you advice..
I feel like the game's stagnation is a bit harsh for newbies, so I'm just grateful..
“I don't know exactly either. The name is anonymous. Even the little guys that go around look like that, so I don't even know their faces. Origin and background are all shrouded in a veil..”
Kelly Bay shrugged his shoulders..
“Always killing monsters and lighting up safe locations. He said he's been doing it long before I first got here..”
Immediately after, Kelly Bay said Ah! Making a noise, she added.
“But once, I heard another Lake Kingdom survivor call that woman by a strange name..”
“What did you call it??”
“What did they say… … Did you say dethroned princess??”
I opened my eyes wide..
dethroned princess?
Does this mean that she is the princess of the Lake Kingdom??
‘what… … wait for a sec.’
I suddenly remembered the final stage of.
742Round. Hell Difficulty Ironman Mode.
In the final dungeon, 'Lake Kingdom Castle', the scene where Lucas, the lone survivor, made the final attack on the final boss while all the characters he had trained were dying was eye-catching..
But the name of the final boss is clearly…….
‘The lake princess who can't sleep.’
I suddenly looked down the road where the unknown person had disappeared. The darkness is quiet, and the face of the disappeared unknown is no longer visible..
‘……No way, no?’
I swallowed dry saliva..
At that time, Kelly Bay hit me on the back with his palm. ouch! Why are you hitting me?!
“This is punishment for playing with my head, and this is!”
match!
After another light blow, Kelly Bay held out a long cane..
“This is a suit that was left to me to make equipment and then came back to pick it up so I could keep refining it..”
It was a luxuriously refined staff, with a blood-red gem encrusted at the end of the head. Even at first glance, it looks infinitely good..
As I opened my mouth and let out a sound like wow, Kelly Bay got grumpy for no reason and put the cane in my arms..
“Oh, don't hurt the old man's arm! Take it quickly!”
A magic staff made from Selendion's magic core..
I looked at the stats. Is there a scam item?-?!
[Lord of Crimson (SSR) Lv.55]
- Category: Magic Wand
- offense power : 149-151
- Durability : 10/10
- Intelligence +15 horsepower+15
- Each time an enemy is killed, essence is absorbed and stored up to 10.
- You can recover HP or MP by consuming stored essence. (10 percent per purified water)
- If you consume 10 essences at once, you can use any blood magic once..
- ??? (Open based on number of enemies killed with this weapon)
- ??? (Open based on number of enemies killed with this weapon)
The basic gang damage was decent and the stat bonuses were generous. very good equipment.
In addition, as it is a weapon made from the magic core of a vampire lord, it has the option to absorb the essence of an enemy and use it as a resource when killing an enemy..
‘It is possible to respond flexibly depending on the situation. This will also be useful depending on the use.…….’
I don't know what kind of blood magic you can use, but I'm sure Junior will be able to use it well..
If there is a problem, like the [Black Queen], this equipment is a Nightmare Slayer, so the '???' that opens depending on the kill count. The point is that there is an option..
I glanced at Damian. Damian is buried in the darkness of the [Black Queen] he carries on his back..
Damien's eyes met mine. Damian hesitated for a moment, then he grinned at me..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
“…….”
Look at how our innocent Damian's bright smile has turned into the smile of a middle school student full of bravado. It's all because of that weapon.
‘Can you really overcome that and use it as your own strength?……?’
Junior should either stop using this weapon if the kill count gets too high..
Anyway, it can be extremely useful right now, so I guess I'll give it a go..
I called Junior over and handed him a cane..
Junior's eyes widened and he took the cane. The young wizard's mouth dropped open..
“This, this… … This is truly incredible equipment, your majesty? What kind of horsepower is this... … I've never seen anything like this in my life.”
“As you may recognize, it is equipment made from Selendion's magic core..”
Junior's shoulders trembled. The hands holding her cane were clenched..
“This is so precious to me……?”
“It's a powerful but dangerous piece of equipment. Handle it with care.”
Lately, Junior has been chewing on spinach and tomatoes and has a bit of a taste for it, but in front of this cane, he looks serious for the first time in a long time..
Junior nodded loudly..
“Your Majesty is the first person to recognize my value this much... … . thank you. So that Your Highness will have no regrets, I will resolve to reform myself.……!”
“No, stop with the makeover..”
If your body is already not in good shape, what are you talking about? do not do that. Keep recovering your HP with that staff and deal damage comfortably from behind..
Besides that, I asked Kelly Bay to make new equipment..
It was equipment made from two vampire general magic cores obtained in Stage 5. As expected, it is an SSR grade, so powerful equipment will be released..
I found some basic equipment, and everything I had to do at base camp was roughly organized..
“Umm.”
I looked towards the dark side where the name disappeared - the dungeon of the next depth - and eventually turned to the other side..
It was in the direction of a dungeon I cleared previously..
I will listen to anonymous advice, but why not just go back like this? I was only planning to do some reconnaissance while lightly going around the dungeons I cleared before..
We need to know what kind of monster army is coming in the next defense battle..
I shouted and asked the main party members who had already finished preparing..
“Okay then, everyone, it’s been a while… … Let's relax a bit?”
Lucas, Evangeline, Damian, and Junior all held up their torches and lanterns..
So, I entered the area 3 dungeon that I beat previously. I shouted as I entered the dungeon room..
“What is this season’s monster??”
OK,
Splat! slump!
something… … Slurping… … Jelly-like monsters began rolling toward us from the dungeon entrance..
I was so scared that I didn't know it and I let out a squeak..
“No, what the fuck is this?-?!”
