I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 209
◈ 209. [[Free Exploration] Slime’s Room
This afternoon, Elise returned to the imperial capital..
It appears that the necessary investigation at the top of Winter Silver has been completed. Next time he will come with manpower to build the upper branch..
“And please take this.”
Elise opened her sword case, took out a dagger, and handed it to me..
“It seems like you lack emergency means to protect yourself..”
[Spirit Crasher (SR) Lv.1]
- Category: Dagger
- offense power : 0
- Durability : 1/1
- Strikes the target's soul and stuns them. The stun time is up to 5 seconds and is reduced depending on the target's magic stat..

[spirit crashers]!
Although it is a consumable item, it is a dagger that definitely stuns the enemy. You gave me such a precious item. I quickly received it and carried it in my arms..
“Thank you, Elise. I'll use it well.”
“It was nothing.”
Elise smiled meaningfully..
“Well, I hope you enjoy your brief freedom. majesty.”
“huh?”
Short freedom? What does that mean??
But Elise left my mansion without explaining anything and left Crossroads that way..
What, what does it mean??

Have a good rest for a day.
The next day, I gathered the main party members. I was planning to go to the dungeon right away..
‘Leveling needs to be accelerated.’
Most of the main party members have not yet reached level 50..
I need to quickly reach level 50, complete the 3rd job advancement, and awaken my ultimate skill..
The difference in performance between a character with the ultimate ability and a character without the ultimate ability is like heaven and earth..
We were leaving for the dungeon, so we instructed everyone to get ready and gather, and after lunch, all party members were summoned..
Lucas, Evangeline, and I were still not fully recovered from our minor injuries, but were in good condition thanks to the intensive care we received at the temple. Junior also looks fine after resting well..
And Damian…….
Creeping.
“…….”
Creeping, creeping…….
Now a black aura is dripping from my entire body.…….
With a blank face, as if he hadn't slept properly, he was staggering around, holding Ma Chong as if he were gold and silver treasure in his arms. oh my.
I made a request to other party members..
“Can you see Damian's condition is not good? If you look closely and find that the child really likes it, take the gun away. Then it'll be okay.”
Everyone nodded. good,
“Then let’s go! depart!”

[Now Loading… … Teleporting.]
[Tip - The summoning scroll for 'Defense Tower' is guaranteed to drop as the dungeon exploration progresses. The ‘Boss Monster’ summon scroll is randomly dropped when the boss monster is defeated..]
Oh, for some reason the tip article gives me the advice I need for the current situation..
The only summonable object in the 'Defense Tower' category that can be summoned now is the 'Automatic Defense Turret'..
The defense tower in the next tech tree can be obtained by clearing one of the dungeons in Area 5..
‘I need to start conquering the District 5 dungeon from today..’
There was a lot of delay for one reason or another. Let’s accelerate from today.
As I think about it, my eyes become brighter..
***
flashing!
After passing through the teleport gate, the base camp was now completely familiar to my eyes..
Even in the Lake Kingdom, which was swallowed up in darkness, this base camp was particularly bright. Flames burning brightly everywhere were driving away the darkness..
‘Let’s take a look at today’s stone dungeons.…….’
As soon as I arrived at the base camp, I was trying to plan which of the dungeons in Area 5 I would go to first.,
Kugugugugung Palace……!
Suddenly the ground shook violently. The whole city was shaking and shaking. My party members and I were scared and looked around..
“What is it, earthquake?!”
Was there an event like this in the game??!
“It's not an earthquake.”
The person who answered my panicked cry was Kelly Bey, a blacksmith dwarf sitting calmly in the center of the base camp..
Big~! Kelly Bay grins as she gulps down her drink from her bottle.
“‘The ‘Snake of the World’ is just moving..”
I frowned..
“The snakes of the world? that…….”
“Jormungand.”
Kelly Bay wiped the alcohol from his mouth with the back of his hand and spit out the monster's name..
“The monster that is ‘flooding’ this time is him..”
“I beg your pardon?!”
Horrified, I immediately opened the system window..
Even though I hadn't met any monsters yet and had only entered the dungeon, information about the next stage's enemies was emerging..
[Enemy Information - STAGE 9]
- Lv.? ??? : 1 body
- Until start: 10 days
“No, this is crazy, it's real.?!”
Stage 9's enemy information window shows only one enemy..
There are many monster legions whose combat power is concentrated on boss monsters, but there is only one monster legion where there is only one individual..
Jormungand).
biggest snake in the world.
A super giant monster that honestly pushes its way into the Crossroads alone, without any subordinates - this bastard is the enemy, corps, and boss of this stage.!
‘Why does he leave in his first year? This guy only appears in the second year at the earliest.!’
It's absurd that Jormungand appears in Stage 9, but what's even more absurd is... … Now, I was not surprised by this increase in difficulty..
The difficulty level of this game was already high. Even if it gets a little more difficult now, I decided to get over it because even I thought so. Shibeol…….
“……No, but why are you smiling so brightly??”
“huh?”
A huge snake was crawling all over the Lake Kingdom, creating tremendous vibrations, and Kelly Bay was laughing and drinking alcohol as if it were a celebratory drink, wondering what was so good about it..
“That's right, when the season comes when that snake guy crawls around…….”
Kelly Bay pulled the bucket behind him forward and showed the contents..
“Because you can collect a lot of scales!”
Inside the bucket, silver scales scatter sharp light like metal shards..
“How can you not be happy when this precious thing is being distributed everywhere for free?!”
“…….”
But we have to fight for our lives against that precious scale-covered creature..
When I looked gloomy, Kelly Bay looked apologetic and spoke cautiously..
“Don't be too sweet. I'll make you a suit of armor with this..”
“really……?”
“When have I ever scammed you with equipment? I'll pick you a nice pair for you.”
I immediately pointed to Evangeline and asked for more..
“Then, make me a part that can be added to his shield..”
“Just peel it all off and eat it, ugh..”
While muttering, Kelly Bay swallowed the bottle. I laughed out loud. Even though you complain, you do everything, old man..
“…….”
At that time, I felt a subtle gaze. When I turned around, it was Evangeline..
Evangeline seemed slightly touched, but somehow... … She seemed like ‘she knew it would be like that’… … She was looking at me with a strange smile. What's wrong, why are you doing this??
“You took care of my shield separately, hehehe…….”
huh? Well, since you are the main tank, you should definitely get armor first.?
“I understand very well the heart you have for me. Umhuhuhu…….”
“uh? Well, yeah…….”
Evangeline's condition was a bit bad, but I thought it would still taste the same as last time, so I just passed it on..
Anyway, it's good news to get equipment made from Jormungandr scales, but there's more bad news than that..
‘First of all, my plans to go to the District 5 dungeon were all ruined..’
Normally, monsters that would flock to defense battles gather in each dungeon, and you gain experience by hunting them..
Since Jormungand is a single entity with only one main body... … There are no monsters in the dungeon..
Since there is no prey to hunt, all dungeons are forced to close..
‘If this happens, item farming plans will be blocked, but experience farming will also become impossible..’
How can I get experience if there are no monsters??
This is a major setback in my leveling plans. At this rate, it will be difficult to even maintain the sense of battle in the Great Monster Battle, let alone achieve level 50..
‘The good news is that there is no way..’
I reached into my pocket and took out a round-shaped key from my inventory..
[slime room key].
This is an item received as a reward after completing Stage 8 and is an entry item that allows you to enter the event dungeon..
It is similar to catching a golden goblin in the old Golden Room event dungeon..
The slime room is the most uncharacteristic of the event dungeons, and is a dungeon where you just kill a bunch of slime waves..
It's a pure experience farming dungeon where you can't even acquire items. It could be useful in the current situation..
I visited the base camp's teleportation NPC, 'Coco the Cut'..
Coco, who was making a suspicious-looking reagent in her witch's workshop, looked at me and smiled..
“Woohihi, new! It's been a while since you found me! Is there a door I can open for you??”
I silently handed over the [Slime Room Key].
Grandma Coco nodded and immediately opened the portal. A magic door that spins has opened before us..
“This key can open the door a total of three times, so you can go in and out two more times..”
“Thank you, Grandma Coco.”
After expressing my gratitude, I turned to the party members and began to explain..
The monster you have to face in this defense battle is an enormous snake..
And because there is only that one snake, there are no monsters in this dungeon this season..
As a last resort, I even planned to go into this slime room and level up..
All party members nodded silently..
All of the main party members are already following me to the point where they carry out my orders without a single doubt..
“This slime room dungeon is structured so that once inside, you have to defeat several waves of slime. Everyone is ready?”
“Yes, my lord.!”
“Let’s finish this quickly and go back and rest, Your Majesty..”
The quick-witted Lucas and the relaxed Junior answered in turn.,
“Sigh… … . I'll kill everything in one hit, like slime.…….”
Damian may have been tired, but he spoke with a hint of bravado, even in a deep voice..
Lastly, Evangeline,
Kkook.
Suddenly he came up to me and held my hand tightly..
And then, with sparkling eyes, he whispered softly to me..
“Senior... … I will protect you.”
“uh?”
“No matter what adversity and hardships come your way, I will stand by your side and become a shield to protect you..”
“Uh... … yes, thank you…….”
“Huhu, huhu, umhuhuhuhu!”
……Why is he like this earlier? Did I eat something wrong??
I don't understand why, so I wink at the party members.,
‘I don't know either.’
Lucas shrugged his shoulders..
Junior looked like he knew something, saying, ‘Oh, is that from yesterday?’, but he didn’t say anything. No what?!
Anyway, our party entered the magic door one by one..
The other members went in first and I was about to go in last, but Grandma Coco, who had been just watching, suddenly opened her mouth..
“I'm trying to be careful.”
“yes?”
I blinked at the sudden words. Grandma Coco covered her mouth and let out a sinister laugh..
“Do you know what the darkness in the Lake Kingdom dungeon is made of??”
The darkness of this dungeon?
Are you talking about that unique squishy, bulky darkness??
“The Demon King created an army of monsters by refining the nightmares of the people of the Lake Kingdom, and the residual emotions left after the refinement gathered together to create the darkness of this place. Regret, regret, and guilt... … Those feelings of wealth.”
Underneath the wide-brimmed hat, the witch's eyes twinkled like fluorescent lights..
“Your sniper friend is also consumed by the darkness. And darkness attracts other darkness.”
“that is… … Excuse me?”
“To put it simply, the darkness in the dungeon will be drawn to the darkness of your friend..”
Coco smiled sinisterly..
“This base camp is an area where darkness cannot invade, but the darkness inside the dungeon... … The story is different.”
“……!”
“You better get your mind together, ho ho ho ho.”
Holy shit.
“No, why are you telling me that now?!”
I gritted my teeth and looked at the magic door. The door to the event dungeon is one-way, and there is no way to get out until it is cleared..
‘damian!’
An ominous feeling passed through my body. I gritted my teeth and threw myself into the magic door..
flashing!
The sight before my eyes turned completely white..
