Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 218
◈ 218. [STAGE 9] Jormungand (3)
“Hello, this is Fox…….”
“It's Rabbit…….”
Two wizards from the reinforcement unit bowed and bowed to me..
Both are dressed in the black uniforms of the Imperial Army, with the magic corps' unique white robes covered with hoods..
As the party was accidentally reorganized, we ended up carrying out an operation to destroy the nerve center of Jormungand's tail..
‘Come to think of it, this is my first time speaking with these friends..’
Because they are keeping their distance from each other. first time hearing your name.
“Fox? Rabbit? That's not my real name?”
“yes. Well, our magic corps was transferred to the Imperial Central Army... … Every time the regular soldiers went on an operation, they received a new code name..”
It's a code name. You're acting like an undercover guy..
“Under Commander Reina, the four of us received code names this time: Fox, Rabbit, Kitty, and Piggy..”
“Then the friends who fell outside will play with Kitty..”
I clicked my tongue as I watched the scenery whizzing by beneath the snake's body..
“I don't know if it'll be okay.”
“Oh, you don't have to worry about those two..”
“Even if you throw them into hell, they are friends who will come back alive.…….”
I was worried, but on the contrary, their colleagues Fox and Rabbit waved their hands and smiled..
“Even though we are like this, we are a unit under the direct control of the commander of the Magic Corps..”
“It's enough to keep me healthy. I've been in worse situations..”
“I've been through worse things……?”
“Well, isn't the position of a civil servant always like this??”
“The pay is meager, the work is hard, and all that remains is patriotism.…….”
The two civil servants who were talking were shocked and looked at me. What did you do to say something like this in front of me, the prince?.
“Everblack LoyaltyLoyalty!”
“Long live your Majesty, the great Emperor! Glory to the Empire!”
Suddenly, they raise their arms and shout “Hurrah!”.
Okay, so stop... … I feel uncomfortable…….
“Since we don't have time, let's hurry to destroy the nerve center..”
“yes!”
Fox and Rabbit were able to use the 'lightweight' buff and the 'fast' buff, respectively..
When the two wizards applied a buff to Evangeline, Evangeline said, 'I feel so light!' She said the same thing and started pounding away at her nerve centers at a frightening pace. I think it will stretch out quickly like that..
“Hmmmm.”
Beside him, Kelly Bay was examining the nerve center with serious eyes. I scolded that dwarven blacksmith..
“Father-in-law, what are you doing just looking into it??”
“Wait a minute... … Now that I think about it, is there really a need to dig it up with a pickaxe??”
Kelly Bay looked at the mainspring of the hook launcher strapped to his arm..
“If only we could build a crushing device that runs on horsepower.…….”
“Whoa. I didn't think of that..”
I walked up to Kelly Bay, who was struggling. Kelly Bay has already taken out her paper and is sketching out her design drawings..
“So how about something like this??”
I explained the Earth Drill to see if it would be helpful..
I have a lot of magic cores that will act as a power source, so all you have to do is make a spiral-shaped drill bit out of metal and assemble it properly. It might be easier to destroy a nerve center than a pickaxe..
As soon as Kelly Bay heard my explanation, he took out a piece of metal and a Jormungand scale from his bag and started processing it..
Let’s insert the magic core I gave you there.,
Weeeeing!
A decent drilling machine is born.!
Kelly Bay looked at me with admiration..
“Hey, kid. Does this device have a name??”
“iced coffee… … This is called a ‘drill’.”
In our world, it is a tool used to make holes..
“Oooooooot! That's awesome, drill! If you have this, you can blow a hole in anything.!”
3Ryu and Kelly had a conversation that seemed like something out of another world, and Kelly Bay picked up a drill and put it directly on the nerve center..
Weeeeing!
The device works, and the tip of the metal blade touches the nerve center..
Go go go go-!
Sparks flew in all directions and the drill began to gnaw away at the nerve center in an instant..
“Mmm…….”
For some reason, it looked like a dental treatment site that would end cavities, so I felt a little uncomfortable. It feels like my molars are starting to hurt..
The drill didn't work well from the beginning.
The drill bit could not hold up and was bent, or the magic core overheated and stopped working..
Kelly Bay went through additional processes such as adjusting the rotation speed, reinforcing the drill structure, and changing the horsepower path to allow the user's horsepower to be applied to the metal blade..
“The equipment looks a bit heavy, so I'll cast a lightening spell on it. One day will go by..”
“Then I cast a speed spell on this metal blade to increase the rotation speed.…….”
Fox and Rabbit, two wizards also helped..
So, by the time Kelly Bay had completed a usable drill, well over half a day had passed..
Kelly Bay gave us each completed drill..
Go go go go!
It was a spectacular sight to see the tips of four drills sticking to the nerve center at the same time, sending sparks flying in all directions..
“It's much easier than using a pickaxe.?!”
“Handle with care. That drill is dangerous equipment..”
However, perhaps because they are all hero characters who have stepped into the realm of superhumans, they were able to control the large drill without difficulty..
In an instant, the percentage of destruction of this part of the nerve center increased..
I let out a sigh of relief. If I do this, I can proceed with ease..
“I'm going to dig up some Jormungandr scales that I can use extra! If I see something more valuable, I dig it up too.!”
Kelly Bay picked up the pickaxe, put it on her back, and ran away without me having time to say anything. She must be excited. Her mouth is smiling..
It looks like they think of this as a mine or something rather than a monster or something. Still, I leave it alone because it helps..
“This is really convenient. How about sending one over there as well??”
Evangeline asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead..
A little while ago, he was using a pickaxe endlessly, but when he switched to a drill, his face said it was worth living..
“Let's completely finish destroying this area first, and climb up the snake's body to help destroy the center-head area..”
The distance from here to the next destruction location is quite far..
Rather than wasting energy going back and forth, it would be better to finish here quickly and join the party on the way up..
Thinking like that, I suddenly looked to the west..
A red sunset was setting across the land, passing by quickly..
The day was already coming to an end.
***
night has come.
A strong wind blew non-stop over Jormungand's body, but fortunately the season was summer. There was no loss of body heat due to the wind..
No, it was actually hot..
Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Gang!
Jormungand. near the center.
Kuilan and Lucas set up a large torch around the nerve center and were swinging the pickaxe non-stop..
“…….”
“…….”
The four remaining members of the punishment unit were resting, looking up with shocked looks..
At first, we exchanged silly jokes and everyone worked with smiles on their faces..
Suddenly, only a heavy silence fell on the scene, and the only sound was the sound of the pickaxe hitting the nerve center. Kang-kang-kang-
The incident started an hour ago.
As the sun set, Lucas stopped picking with his pickaxe and made a suggestion to everyone..
‘Let's take a little rest. We have to fight a long battle for three days..’
Then, Kuilan smiled and answered playfully..
‘What, driver, are you tired? I'm still cheerful?’
Then a tendon sprouted on Lucas' temple..
‘Exhausted... … ? Are you challenging me with your physical strength??’
‘No, it’s not even a victory… … I'm just saying I'm not tired yet. I was just telling the truth.’
‘good night. It's a competition to see who goes out first..’
‘Hahaha! Great, let's give it a try!’
So the war broke out.
While the others drank water, chewed preserved food, and rested, Lucas and Kuilan glared at each other and swung their pickaxes non-stop..
The four members of the punishment unit thought to themselves as they laid down comfortably and looked at the two in turns..
‘I think we're both tired…….’
Lucas is injured. I recovered with a potion, but the aftereffects are clear..
Kuilan is born with a body of glass. My physical strength has become weak, not commensurate with my size..
Both were clearly in a group. but.
It may be the most useless thing in the world, but at the same time, it was a battle of pride between boys that could not be backed down..
There was no compromise. The two men persevered through their evil spirit..
Kuilan was panting heavily, wiping the sweat from his chin, and shaking his chin..
“A lot, huh! You look exhausted, huh! How about giving up and going to rest??”
Lucas grinned, brushing back his sweaty blonde hair with a trembling hand..
“You're like that, haha, those balloon muscles are shaking, haha, why don't you surrender??”
Kuilan's eyes were bloodshot..
“What, what? balloon muscles?”
“It's true, weakling. The owner of such a stubborn sunfish is big enough to grow up. It's not just an inflated balloon muscle.?”
“Cancel it immediately! You're insulting my proud practice-compression-muscles.!”
“If you win this fight, I'll cancel it..”
“Ugh, okay, let's see this through to the end.……!”
The two men continued to use the pickaxe with their arms shaking and losing strength..
Now, as they laid out blankets and blankets and prepared to sleep, the four members of the punishment unit thought to themselves..
‘Will it end if someone faints?…….’
Jormungand was passing through the plains..
Even though I was on the body of a monster, the sleep was unexpectedly peaceful..
Kang-kang-kang-
The four members of the punishment unit fell asleep with the sound of the pickaxe as a lullaby..
Only Lucas and Kuilan continued to use their pickaxes, glaring at each other with wide eyes..
***
dawn.
Jormungand. near the head.
A halo like an angel's ring appeared above the nerve center and glowed white, and a bright halo of light fell on the entire area..
Even though it was still before dawn, the surroundings were bright red..
Zeng-!
The next moment, a crack appeared in the air like a crack in a mirror, and it shattered..
[Elemental Deconstruction].
It was Junior's ultimate magic..
The magical defense power of the nervous center began to drop..
Reina, who was waiting, used her wind magic to claw at the nerve center..
Kwaaaa!
Rayna's wind magic bombardment continued until the duration of [Elemental Disintegration] expired..
Junior let out a sigh, glaring at the nerve center that held on despite being battered by countless blades of wind..
“How high is your magic defense??”
Even after being hit by Junior's [Elemental Disintegration], the magic defense of Jormungand's nerve center did not drop to negative numbers..
Even though it was not the main body but the terminal, the horsepower value was at an absurd level..
‘What is a creature from the mythical era?…….’
“Still, I was able to inflict a fairly effective hit..”
Reina, who had mastered the wind magic, grinned..
“Thanks to you, Junior. Because that magic is truly amazing. Be sure to present it to the Magic Society..”
“haha…….”
Junior smiled awkwardly.
Junior and Raina used their magic combo twice today..
Even after performing the ultimate twice a day, my physical condition was intact..
It was thanks to Raina’s ‘treatment’. Junior felt that his body had clearly improved..
“uh?”
Of course, it wasn't completely better..
A nosebleed ran down Junior's philtrum. There was a faint taste of blood in my mouth. I guess it was too much to do twice in a row..
“Should I rest after this? It's already time like this.”
Reina muttered indifferently, took out a blanket from her bag, and headed towards the back of Jormungandr's head..
Behind the snake's huge head was a shallow mound. There were relatively less strong winds after that..
When Reina, squatting down on a blanket, waved her hands, the wind that had been swirling around them began to flow away from the two..
A small space suddenly became comfortable.
“Let's close our eyes.”
Reina first wrapped herself in a blanket and lay down..
The space was small, so Junior, covering himself with his blanket, hesitated and snuggled up next to Raina..
Reina yawned tiredly, closed her eyes and muttered..
“Oh. I felt it when I saw your magic today. There were two parts of the technique that were wasteful..”
“yes?”
“So, in the first casting part…….”
Even in a sleepy voice, Raina explained the parts that needed improvement in Junior's [Element Deconstruction]..
On the contrary, Junior suddenly woke up and memorized all of Raina's words..
“……What is it like this? Try to improve it later. Whoaam.”
After finishing the lecture, Raina covered her head with a blanket..
“See you tomorrow then... … Oh, let me tell you in advance, I have bad sleeping habits.…….”
Soon the sound of snoring was heard. Raina fell asleep right away..
“…….”
Junior had never had a worthy teacher. He taught himself everything.
So Raina’s map was unfamiliar, and at the same time… … Honestly, I was happy.
This is the first time I realized that the teachings of those who preceded me were so sweet..
‘If I had a magic teacher…….’
Junior stared at the sleeping old wizard's profile..
‘……Did it feel like this??’
Soon, Junior closed his eyes and went to sleep..
I felt like I could sleep well today.
***
No matter what the dusty people do on my body.
Without paying attention, the giant snake Jormungand continued to follow his own path..
To the north. To the north. Just head north.
Saaaaa-
The sun has risen. The fierce sunlight dyed the wide plain across Jormungand white..
At the end of the peaceful plain, a river with violent rapids began to appear..
Beyond the river was a dense forest, and crossing the forest-
Eventually, the wall built by humans would appear..
Saaaaa-
The snake just moved steadily..
Following the mission and instinct given to you, from the end of the world to the end.
