Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 227
◈ 227. [STAGE 9] Arrow leaving the protest (3)
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-!
Over the head of Jormungand.
Climbing aboard the violently vibrating body of a snake, we are desperately trying to break our last nerve center..
“Try gnawing on it a little more!”
“Almost everything was destroyed! somehow, just a little more……!”
Everyone is on the verge of collapsing due to exhaustion from the past three days of operations, but they are somehow holding on and trying to destroy the nerve center..
Because that’s really the end now.
“Pfft……!”
Right in front... … I can see the castle wall.
I clenched my molars as I looked at the castle wall that was now only a few dozen meters ahead..
‘Damn, damn, damn!’
For the last hour, we did our best.
Junior, with the assistance of other magicians, used [Elemental Disintegration], and Reina delivered a barrage of wind magic with all her might into the nerve center where magic defense was weakened..
Even during this tense time, Kelly Bay repaired and strengthened the drills and pickaxes, and those who still had the strength to move attacked their nerve centers one more time..
But the last 1 percent.
All the hardening buffs were chipped away, and this last tick was not removed..
‘I feel like the physical resistance is about 95%. Magic defense cannot even be measured. In fact, it seems to be at a non-interference level.…….’
Even if it was in this shitty state, it could have been destroyed if given enough time..
Problem is, those damn werewolf bastards stole our time.
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
Kuwagwanggwang-!
Artillery shells, etc. are being fired at random from the top of the castle wall. In order to somehow slow down the snake's advance even by one second..
I know it's no use, but sometimes explosions fall all around us and it can be dangerous. I left it alone. I have to do something now..
‘How long until we reach the castle wall?’
I estimated the distance between the wall and Jormungand.
If Jormungand breaks through the walls, tramples the city, and begins 'predation on civilization', everything that has been done so far will be in vain..
I grabbed the pickaxe again with my bloody, skin-covered hands..
I have to stop it before that happens.……!
Jeez. Jeopuk.
It was then.
Someone came next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I turned around. what?
“……cotton……?”
The person who came and stood next to me was unknown..
What, why? Can't you see I'm busy? Please help me destroy that too.!
“Leave your friends behind, Ash..”
“what?”
“I'll take charge from here on out..”
sreung-
White light slowly began to appear on the old, rusty sword that Mu-myeong had drawn..
I blinked. Didn’t this guy say he can’t use his powers outside of the Lake Kingdom??
“It is the Lake Kingdom's fault that the nightmare came into the Lake Kingdom and that it leaked out..”
Nameless smiled bitterly, holding the sword with both hands and holding it in front of his chest..
“As a person of the Lake Kingdom, I take responsibility and I will stop Jormungand..”
Quaaaaa-!
Incredible light emanated from the nameless body and began to converge on the sword..
Of course I am ignorant of things like ancient magic, but I knew right away..
That is a technique that burns one's life..
“What are you doing, unknown?! I'm thinking of dying?”
“If you use this much power outside of the Lake Kingdom... … I'll probably die here.”
Nameless sighed calmly and made the sword of light bigger..
Kwaaaa!
“But if I die, I can protect your city and everyone on it..”
“what…….”
“Isn’t it a bad exchange?.”
I hesitated.
……To be honest, I thought so..
If you can defeat Jormungand by sacrificing one life, that's a reasonable exchange..
In the first place, this is the monster front where tens, hundreds, and thousands of people die..
But, it is…….
Is it right??
“I've lived a long life, Ash. I'm not afraid of death. I am even happy if that death is to erase the mistakes of the Lake Kingdom..”
I suddenly saw her eyes through the anonymous white hair blowing in the rushing wind..
“However, I have a favor to ask..”
When we first met her eyes, they were the color of a clear, deep lake..
“Don't give up on exploring the Lake Kingdom. Keep shining the light in the darkness.”
“…….”
“I'm asking you because I can trust you..”
I nodded slowly. Nameless nodded vaguely and raised his sword upward..
‘Are you planning on slashing Jormungand’s head with the sword of light??!’
I screamed at the party members who were working on destroying the parts until the end..
“Everyone evacuate! leave the place immediately!”
The party members who looked back were frightened when they saw the huge sword of light raised by Myeong. I waved my arm urgently..
“No time! Jump down Jormungandr’s body! right now!”
The party members immediately stopped destroying parts, hooked their hooks, and jumped to the left and right of Jormungand's body..
After visually checking the safety of the escaped party members, I saw Nameless..
Nameless was sweating like rain and completing the Sword of Light..
With this, Crossroads survives once again..
The world maintains its reputation…….
“……!”
That moment.
I had a strong feeling.
- Clear this world and lead it to the true ending..
The reason why I was called into this world and am suffering this way.
What the self-proclaimed director Ader said - the existence of something called a 'true ending'.
Conditions that must be cleared to go to the true ending include:,
Suddenly!
“Stop, Unnamed.!”
……There must be survival in obscurity.
I grabbed Unknown’s shoulder and urgently stopped him. Nameless looked at me with surprised eyes..
There was no clear basis. It was just my feeling. But it felt close to certainty..
742The true ending that I have never reached while clearing this game..
And number 742 is the princess of the Lake Kingdom, unknown, who I have never met while playing this game..
these two are related.
I can't let ignorance die here..
“But there's no other way, Ash.!”
“…….”
I bit my lower lip gently..
As anonymous said.
In this situation, the only way to stop Jormungand is to strike the final blow..
Isn't preventing an immediate game over more important than the possibility of a true ending??
However, if you give up on the true ending, wouldn't everything you've done so far be in vain??
‘Damn it, what should I do? What should I do?!’
Strategy must always distinguish between ‘what can be compromised’ and ‘what cannot be compromised’..
What should I throw away??
Who should I kill??
At that moment, I closed my eyes tightly..
For what... … Should I repeat this choice again??
It was then.
sparkle.
A ray of light shimmered over my closed eyelids. I suddenly opened my eyes.
sparkle. sparkle. sparkle.
A light twinkled from the gate. i looked that way.
‘……damian?’
In the center of the open gate, Damian stood upright..
Holding a signal lantern in his hand. Sending light to me.
‘Signals are transmitted through light……?’
Memories of Stage 3 flashed through my mind..
When he went to the Margrave's villa to rescue Evangeline. I asked Damian for sniper support..
At that time, as a means of exchanging signals with each other, the castle used that light and I used the blue flame torch..
sparkle. sparkle. sparkle.
The signal Damian sent me was three flashes of light..
‘It means 'this side is okay'.
In other words,
‘Ready for sniping support!’
I saw Damian smiling awkwardly..
Even though he is wearing the [Black Queen] on his back, the dark aura from before is not visible..
Did you overcome it??
I couldn't trust you and even detained you.?
“Oh my god, Damien.!”
This damn pretty girl!
“Lower your sword, nameless! Swallowing up my life force!”
I slapped Nameless on the back and ran forward. Anonymous looked embarrassed and looked away..
“Come back, Ash! If I'm there, I can't bring my sword down.!”
“You don’t have to take a picture! Take away your sword? Trust me!”
Not exactly me... … Trust my sniper! Because it's the best cheat character in this game!
Leaving behind the bewildered nameless sword of light, I ran forward and stood next to the nerve center of Jormungand's head..
I took out the blue flame torch from my inventory and drew a large circle..
Shoot, Damian..
“right here-!”
***
Swish-
Damian threw the signal lantern to the side and grabbed the gun with both hands..
“I see you well, prince..”
Ash was seen waving the torch enthusiastically. Next to it, there is also a snake's protuberance that rises like a horn..
Damien knelt down on one knee, fastened the butt of his machine gun, and aligned his gaze with the gun sights..
“With the strongest possible firepower.”
Damian whispered softly into the gun..
Clunk, clank, clank……!
Then the pure white magic gun began to transform, emitting magical light..
The gun barrel split into left and right sides, forming two rails extending forward..
At the same time, the magazine containing the magic bullets disintegrated..
The seven magic bullets that came out of the magazine spun in the air, chasing each other's tails, then merged into one large magic bullet and were fixed in the air between the rails..
Crackling, crackling!
The barrel of the gun was cracked and the magazine was disassembled, exposing the magical core..
Magical power bounced like an electric current from the white-hot magic core, supplying magic power to the rail..
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo……!
Now Jormungand is literally just around the corner..
The monster's breath almost touched Damian's face. But Damien was aiming until the end..
I thought it would show not only the destruction of parts, but also something deeper..
‘Even if it's just for a little while, it's okay if you stop……!’
At that time, Ash took out a dagger from his chest and,
deeply!
I took a picture of the snake's head.
It was a one-time dagger that forcibly inflicts a stun state on the target, [Spirit Crusher]..
Because Jormungand's magic stat was so high, the stun time was literally only a moment..
“ah.”
It was more than enough time for Damien..
“It seemed.”
Damian's finger pulled the trigger..
Touquaaaaang-!
A magic bullet was fired, emitting light like a thunderbolt..
The pure white magic bullet immediately flew into the nerve center of Jormungand's head..
The layers of hardening buffs and Jormungand's innate magic defense power instantly formed like a transparent barrier in the air, blocking the magic bullets..
Clang-!
However, it is useless).
The magic bullet that ridiculously tore through the defense pierced the nerve center where only the last ray of stamina remained and shattered it to pieces..
Jormungandr's massive body immediately stopped in place..
But it didn't end there.
The moment when Jormungand's defense power decreased due to the completion of the destruction of the nerve center..
Matan didn't miss that moment..
Powok!
The magic bullet curved its trajectory like a living creature and burrowed into the back of Jormungandr's neck with the force of breaking his nerve center.-
Tu-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.-!
started to penetrate.
Inside Jormungandr's body.
The magic bullets spread out, tearing apart the huge snake's body stretched out in a straight line from the inside..
It pierced, pierced, and pierced the mighty bones, internal organs, flesh, and skin of creatures from the mythical era with ease as if there was no resistance..
five hearts.
nine spiritual nuclei.
I was completely penetrated.
Crumbling?!
For the first time, something resembling a scream came out of the giant snake's mouth..
At the end of that long, long one-point penetration-
Phuwak!
Only after the magic bullet crawled through the tip of the giant snake's tail did it lose its strength and disappear in the air..
In fact, it pierced the snake from its head to its tail in a straight line..
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Jormungand raised his huge head and let out a long, terrible scream.,
Kugu Palace……!
I put my head on the ground..
And then it didn't move.
Hehehe-
The battlefield was engulfed in silence..
Ash, who escaped to the floor in the arms of an unknown person, muttered softly amidst the hazy dust scattered everywhere as the snake swayed..
“……No, I just told you to defeat it..”
It was a happy, but absurd voice..
“I'm trying to kill this……?”
