Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 197
◈ 197. [Free exploration] Call-up
same time.
Lake Kingdom Underground Dungeon.
4Area 5 after passing the area [Grand Park]. [Fountain Street].
5This is the most difficult of the dungeons in the area and must be passed by in order to enter the next deep dungeon - area 6, where the inner castle is located..
When the Lake Kingdom once flourished, it was a long, beautiful marble promenade that stretched between huge ponds gushing out with all kinds of splendid fountains..
Now, only the ugly fragments of the stone road remain above the dried-up, black and fetid pond..
“…….”
Nameless was standing on the road, clutching his sword..
She remembered that this place had once been beautiful, but she couldn't remember the scenery..
So many years had passed, and as this city weathered, so did her memories. Like her worn out name.
Just follow the duty engraved on your body..
All we can do is kill, kill, and kill the monsters that occupy this place to stop them. To prevent them from leaking out to the outside world.
and-
Jeez. Jeez. Jeopuk.
In front of her, three shadows radiating evil energy approached..
A huge, muscular werewolf with a silver-red mane..
Dream Demon (Demon Demon), with his voluptuous body clearly revealed through the tattered monk’s attire.).
And leading a swarm of flies and rats, wearing a black coat and a pure white crow mask - 'something'’.
The three monsters walked quietly along the destroyed fountain path and stopped ten steps away from Nameless..
Nameless looked at the monsters and had a sneer on his lips..
“The wolf king, the prostitute, and the lord of the plague. Three nightmare corps commanders come out to die on their own. Today is a feast.”
sreung-
The old sword held in an unknown hand was pointed forward..
“Good. I had just finished repairing my sword, and I wanted to test whether it would sharpen well..”
But the monsters didn't seem to have any intention of fighting Nameless..
The white crow mask in the middle stepped forward. A deep and cracked voice came out from behind the mask..
“Get out of the way, nameless one. I have no business for you today..”
“Why don't you have any business? We have a duty to kill and kill one another..”
“Today we went out in search of another prey..”
There was cold anger in the voice of the white crow mask..
“Humans in the outside world... … The creatures that will become our livestock have killed Orlop and Selendion..”
“…….”
“Moreover, they are arrogant and are now roaming around the Lake Kingdom..”
I'm talking about Ash and his group. The nameless mouth was tightly shut..
“Our mission is to catch him and present the truth to the King of Kings. It takes precedence over the enjoyable but meaningless struggle with you. So, get out of the way. one who lost his name.”
The werewolf who was listening to the story growled fiercely..
“Those human children, you lowly bugs, how dare you put a dent in the great Nightmare King's legion! I will give you every piece of meat with my claws.!”
Then the monster next to me covered his mouth and laughed..
“It's barbaric. Instead, how about being captivated by my charm??”
Mongma's long fingers gently traced the soft curves of her body..
“I'm interested. Orlop, even so, you killed that Selendion! Curious, curious, curious! What kind of person is this? What will it taste like? What will it scream? Haaa, I will hold you in my arms and make your body and mind my slave..”
Then the white crow mask let out a boiling low voice..
“The pain of a stab wound or the pain of being deceived cannot pay for the sins committed by such a small creature..”
White Crow Mask flapped his black coat, raised his white-gloved hand, and clasped it tightly..
“While it is alive and breathing, it will become the host of all the plagues in this world. Then he will be able to taste all the pain that exists in this world..”
Nameless chuckled as he stared at the monsters, each declaring that they would kill Ash in their own way..
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about earlier, monsters? Who said they would send you back here??”
Well done-!
As Nameless lightly swung his sword, the black water droplets on the bottom of the dried pond rose up in a circle, swept away by the sword wind..
“Even if you suddenly go crazy and leave to do good deeds, I will stop you. 'Cause it's my duty to face you monsters.”
“…….”
“Draw your weapons, monsters. Isn’t any language or question and answer already meaningless between us?.”
The white crow mask that was looking at the unknown person tilted its head..
“okay… … Did you repair that sword again today, the one who lost his name??”
“The blade has been sharpened well. Enough to smoothly hit your neck.”
“Hasn’t the frequency of repairs increased compared to before??”
Unknown’s eyebrows furrowed at the sudden words. The white crow mask was now mocking loudly..
“In the past, you didn't even care about repairing your sword, and you fought for hundreds of nights without sighing. Isn't that no longer possible?.”
“…….”
“It means that both you and your sword are worn out and falling apart..”
“The day when I will rust and fall will inevitably come.,”
Anonymous's voice became fierce, and a dazzling white light began to emanate from her sword..
“That's not today.”
“I agree, nameless one. Today you are still dazzling.”
The werewolf raised his silver-red mane stiffly, and the dream demon exhaled a thick scent and prepared his magical power to deceive..
Huge white crow wings spread out on the back of the white crow mask. Countless swarms of flies and rats swarmed behind him..
“But the time is near. Soon your noble soul will be completely corrupted. Like all great men.”
“…….”
“And on that day, the Lake Kingdom will finally fall into complete darkness, and the outside world will also be swallowed up by nightmares..”
The white crow mask smiled grimly with a deep, cracked voice..
“I will happily wait for that day, counting the plagues and curses placed on you, who have become ugly and defiled..”
Nameless rushed head-on towards those monsters..
In this endless hellish struggle, there is only one thing to hope for.
‘Light it up, Ash..’
A small torch burning through the darkness of this place. Protecting that slim possibility.
‘And don't put out that fire.’
That was all.
***
Slurp slurp!
Clap! Cheolpuk!
Monsters roll in, making a sound like water-soaked jelly..
“Wow! I hate it!”
Without realizing it, I got scared and leaned back..
This season's monster is slime..
It is a jelly-like monster that is used as an early monster in many games..
“lord!”
Lucas ran in front of me and raised his long sword. I quickly stopped him..
“Ah, Lucas! no!”
But Lucas' sword is already falling honestly. oh my!
Molcan-!
With a cute sound, the slime split into two pieces..
and…….
Scam! Molcan!
Making twice as cute sounds... … 'Divided'!
Although it was exactly one-half the size, it was divided into two entities that looked exactly the same. Lucas looked shocked when he saw this..
“My sword doesn't work?!”
“Hey, get out of the way, man.!”
Evangeline came running at that time and hurled out her spear..
Molcan-
As expected, the tip of the spear pierced the slime while making a cute sound..
However, the slime stuck to the spear was bouncy like pudding and then flowed down..
Evangeline was shocked when it looked like there wasn't much damage! I screamed.
“my window doesn't work?!”
The physical attack properties are divided into three categories: slashing, piercing, and striking. In other words, cutting, stabbing, hitting..
There are pros and cons depending on the situation, but in the case of slime, it's quite a pain..
‘It disintegrates when hit by a slashing attack, and takes almost no damage from piercing attacks.!’
Of course, if you aim for the spiritual core and cut or stab it properly, you can send it away in one hit without a single hit, but the slime's spiritual core is more difficult to capture than that of a vampire. More than anything.
Splat! slump!
There are so many!
There are so many of these slime bastards! Moreover, if you accidentally cut it wrong, it will continue to split, making it more troublesome to kill.!
‘Although there is a set number of divisions per entity, this number is meaningless.……!’
In the end, I called the two vanguard knights back..
“Lucas! Evangeline! step back!”
“Pfft……!”
“Ah, I get it!”
At the same time as the two knights gasped and took a step back, I held out my hand to Junior..
“Junior! Show me the cost of the new equipment!”
Junior smiled and began preparing the lightning spell..
“You have made an excellent investment, Your Majesty.!”
Junior swung his new cane loudly.,
flashing-!
Dozens of lightning struck the swarm of slimes..
In an instant, dozens of slimes were splashed by lightning and melted away. Damian sniped and eliminated the few remaining ones..
Although Damian's sniping also had a penetrating attribute, thanks to [clairvoyance], it was possible to aim directly at the enemy's spiritual core..
“Phew…….”
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the slimes completely wiped out..
This is Lake Kingdom dungeon area 3 [north of the outer castle]. It's a pretty easy place to clear based on our party's current level..
However, the two vanguard knights were useless. This is a situation where the equipment compatibility is too harsh..
‘A vanguard character must have proper attack performance to achieve defensive performance..’
As it is, there aren't enough means to stop the slime, so the two of you won't be able to hold out at the front line..
After a moment of deliberation, I gathered the party members..
“retreat!”
I nodded to the party members who looked at me in surprise..
“Our weapon compatibility is very poor against the slime guys. Let's go back and get the right equipment..”
The slimes will come again during the next defense battle, so you need to return to the Crossroads and make weapons that the two knights can use. A blunt weapon with striking properties.
‘I'm thinking about borrowing a blunt weapon from Kelly Bay at base camp, but…….’
The old man has already locked himself away to make the equipment he ordered earlier. I won't be able to see your face until it's completed..
“If you need to hit, just hit with the side of my sword!”
“I have a shield!”
The two knights raised their weapons and argued, but I ignored them..
“How long do you think you can fight like that? Instead of doing that, let’s make a secondary weapon one at a time..”
It's not their main weapon, it's a secondary weapon that will only be used briefly this time..
You can make it quickly at the blacksmith shop. You can bring ready-made equipment with you..
We ended up returning to Crossroads much earlier than planned..
***
flashing!
When I passed through the teleport gate and returned to the mansion, the first thing I saw was.
“uh?!”
It was a scene where the walls of the mansion, which had been painted in Evangeline's bling-bling colors, were restored to their original state. Workers are hard at work applying new colors..
Evangeline opened her mouth and made silly noises..
“uh?! Uh oh?!”
The same goes for the inside of the mansion seen through the window. Workers are busy restoring the interior of the reception room and restaurant to their original state..
I said oops! He said and swept his forehead with his hand. Because we returned earlier than scheduled, the interior restoration work was not completed..
Evangeline was horrified to notice the situation and screamed while holding her cheeks in her hands..
“Wow! No way! My small and precious interior!”
Evangeline ran into the mansion screaming..
I nodded happily. It was the reaction I wanted to see..
I wanted to see more faces of despair after the interior was completely demolished, but the current screams weren't bad either..
“I'm going to the dungeon again tomorrow morning. Take a good rest today…….”
After ordering the rest of the party to rest, I muttered while looking towards the city..
“Where is Kuilan??”
This is also earlier than expected, but there is nothing we can do..
‘The opponent for this stage is slime. Hitting attribute is valid.’
A fighter born as a striking attribute dealer..
It was time to call up Bandit King Kuilan to the first team..
