I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 23
◈ 023. [STAGE 1] Boss Raid
Ohhhhh-!
A giant wraith wearing massive armor..
Stage 1's boss monster, 'Ghost Knight', let out an eerie roar..
Kugu Palace-!
When the one floating in the air landed on the ground, the entire area shook as if there had been an earthquake. We all stumbled together..
‘crazy!’
When I saw the guy standing on the ground, my fingertips trembled without me realizing it..
It's huge.
Is it as tall as a three-story building? It is only slightly shorter than the walls of this fortress..
The eye level of us standing on the castle wall and the guy standing in the field is almost the same..
“Cannon ready! Ballista ready!”
I shouted at the soldiers who were dumbfounded by the huge majesty of the boss monster..
“We must kill him before he reaches the walls! hurry-!”
The soldiers who were in a hurry quickly went to the cannons and ballistas and started loading them..
However, due to close combat, most of the water-based equipment was set back, and when I reinstalled it and finished loading, the Ghost Knight was right in front of me..
A bright blue flame burned fiercely inside its gigantic helmet..
‘Fuck, don't be scared!’
I tried to take a step back without realizing it, but I barely held back..
Don’t be scared by appearances, damn it! That bastard is just a stage 1 boss. No matter how much the boss is adjusted, he is only level 25.!
“launch! Don’t hold back, pour it all out-!”
At my command, the frozen soldiers simultaneously ignited their cannons and pulled out their ballistas..
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
patter……!
The cannon fired fire and arrows were fired from the ballista..
Quagwang! Kwagwagwagwang!
Because the target was large, the hit rate was incredibly high. Dozens of shells and ballista arrows were lodged in the ghost knight's body..
Flames and smoke billowed over the massive armor..
But its armor is thick. No significant damage occurred.
thud! thud! thud!
The ghost knight took a step forward while covered in fire..
‘You're so tough, you bastard!’
But in the first place, the purpose of cannons and ballistas is to slow down the guy's movement as much as possible. I turned to the side..
“lily!”
“yes, yes?”
Lily's complexion was haggard because she had been using fire magic a little while ago. Still, I have to do my job?
“What is the third artifact? Are you still adjusting??”
“The adjustment was completed a little while ago.!”
“Activate it right away!”
Lily gestured to the alchemists. The alchemists activated the artifact that had been in the final adjustment process..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Magical light gently leaked from the light blue magic engineering equipment..
Third artifact with repairs completed.
R-grade artifact, magic power amplifier!
The effect is simple. Increases the magic effect of one target character by 100%. Number of times: 1 time.
It's only a one-time magic boost, but the possibilities are endless depending on how you use it..
“Jupiter!”
I looked back. Jupiter narrowed his only eye and glared at the ghost knight..
“I got enough rest?”
“Sure, Your Highness.”
Pachichichik!
An electric current sprang from the lightning magician's fingertips..
“It's not enough, it's almost overflowing..”
Jupiter was in perfect condition. I pointed at the chest of the approaching ghost knight..
“Focus your fire on his chest armor. Give him as powerful an attack as possible..”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The magic amplifier was activated. The target is Jupiter!
A light blue light appeared on Jupiter's body. Jupiter closed and opened her eyes once..
“……That's good. It feels like it was in its heyday..”
Jupiter, who received the effect of the artifact, clenched his fists and laughed evilly. I nodded..
“I ask you with all your might.”
“Be careful of lightning accidents, Your Majesty..”
As Jupiter walked forward, thunder sounded in the distance. Grumble…….
“Even if you get an electric shock, we will not compensate you.-!”
When Jupiter stretched out his hands forward, dozens of bright yellow thunderbolts fell from the sky..
Kugwagwagwagwang-!
Jupiter's 1st skill [Bleaching Zone] exploded on the Ghost Knight..
It was originally a wide-area skill, but because the ghost knight was so large, dozens of lightning bolts all fell on the ghost knight..
Wow……!
The charred ghost knight groaned in pain..
The thunderbolt struck the ghost knight and struck his breastplate accurately..
The chest of the giant armored knight fell off in tatters..
Inside the chest where the armor had fallen, the silhouette of a ghost was waving. And its weak point, its spiritual core, was also clearly exposed..
The spirit core cannot be properly damaged by attacks from ordinary soldiers. magic attack or,
“Damian, shoot.!”
[[Clairsight] It can only be hit with the same Gaegyeokgi trait..
Damian was already assigned to the ballista..
A white flash flashed in Damien's large brown eyes, and his slender finger pulled the trigger of the ballista..
Going to school-!
The arrow fired accurately pierced the spirit core of the ghost knight..
Clang……!
The spiritual core was shattered into pieces, and I felt like I heard the sound of a window breaking. The wraith knight twisted her entire body in pain..
Ahhhhh!
A roar of pain swept across the battlefield..
‘Did you kill him??!’
It wasn't. The guy held on..
The flames burning inside the ghost knight's helmet raged fiercely. You look upset.?
“Damn, maybe it wasn't enough!”
Ohhhhh-!
The ghost knight let out an evil roar and raised the huge sword in his hand..
My mouth gaped involuntarily at the sight of the sword casting a shadow on the castle wall..
If something like that falls, the castle wall will shatter.!
“Jupiter! Give me one more shot!”
As I urgently shouted, Jupiter, who was charging the next magical power, raised his hand..
“Raising a weapon upward in a lightning storm... … Is electrocution your wish, idiot?!”
Kugwagwagwagwang!
2Skill [Bleaching Again].
There are no artifacts, but my attribute buff alone is enough for party synergy..
Dozens of bright blue thunderbolts penetrated the ghost knight's entire body. Even the spiritual core, which was already in tatters, was completely destroyed..
Oh… … Ahhh…….
However, even as the ghost knight fell, he stubbornly brought down the huge sword in his hand..
A huge sword plunges into the castle wall..
I gritted my teeth. I can't stop this!
“Avoid everyone! Run away from the sword's path-!”
Soldiers screamed and ran from the walls..
“Wow!”
“get out of the gap-!”
Damian and Jupiter grabbed Lily's wheelchair and ran away together..
Lucas rushed towards me, who was still standing on the castle wall..
“majesty! You must avoid……!”
Kugwagwagwagwang!
Immediately afterwards, the ghost knight's huge sword struck the castle wall..
Lucas hurriedly covered me, but fortunately there was a distance between me and where the sword fell in the first place. He was spared a direct hit..
However, the vibration caused by the sword hitting the castle wall had Lucas and I rolling on the floor. Quack!
“Oh my, my waist…….”
“Are you okay, Your Majesty??”
“I'm fine! Rather, the condition of the walls is?”
Kugugugugung Palace…….
As the thick dust gradually cleared, the ghost knight's sword was seen half stuck in the castle wall..
The ghost knight holding the sword was kneeling and sitting outside the castle wall..
The spiritual core was completely destroyed, and the ear light that flickered within the helmet was extinguished..
The stage boss has finally fallen.
Clap, clap, clap.…….
At the same time, pieces of armor fell from the ghost knight's entire body. The armor was disintegrating in an instant..
Kyaaaaa!
After all the armor pieces fell to the floor, the ghosts inside the armor poured out all at once..
Hundreds or thousands of ghosts spread out like a thick poisonous fog, and all flew towards the nearest human being..
The human standing closest to him on the castle wall.
straight towards me.
Kyaaaaa-!
The scene where hundreds or thousands of ghosts rushed in a group was truly terrifying..
Hundreds of distorted eyes, noses, mouths and thousands of grotesquely bent limbs struggle to find victims..
But I remained calm. Because I know this pattern.
When a ghost knight dies, he inflicts fear and confusion in an area around him. Would you say it's a little bitch on the verge of death?.
It is not a damaging attack..
It's just a status attack that lowers our morale. If you get caught up in the wrong thing, it can destroy your spirit..
“majesty! It's dangerous.!”
“It's okay, Lucas..”
But mental illness poses no threat to me..
Lucas was scared and tried to block me, but I pushed him away..
And I stood upright with my eyes wide open towards the surging ghosts..
“From here on, it is human territory..”
All the ghosts rushed to me,
keying-!
My passive skill [Indomitable Commander] was activated, scattering white light, canceling out all of their curses..
The ghosts could not pass through me and were shattered before me..
I stood strong and blocked the ghosts with my whole body and shouted..
“Get the hell out of here, monster.!”
Kya… … Ahhh…….
Every last ghost rushed at me, but they all dispersed like smoke..
After all the ghosts disappeared, there was silence in the area..
“…….”
“…….”
The soldiers hiding throughout the walls raised their heads one by one. Those who had escaped under the walls also came up one by one..
“That huge monster……?”
“The ghosts?”
“The prince got rid of it…….”
“Okay, it’s over… … Is it dry??”
The ghosts disappeared, Jupiter withdrew his thunderbolt magic, and dark clouds cleared from the sky..
And the sunlight shone through it.
As if the darkness that had descended was a lie, bright sunlight shone on the castle walls..
“…….”
I stood on the collapsed castle wall and looked down at the soldiers staggering up..
When I looked to the side, I saw the ghost knight's sword digging through half of the castle wall..
Numerous thoughts ran through my mind, such as how to repair the heavily damaged walls and what to do with the losses of the troops lost today..
Instead of feeling that agony, I smiled brightly and lifted one hand up..
“we won!”
I added emphatically to the soldiers who looked up at me blankly..
“we survived!”
Sunlight poured through the dark clouds and fell on my head..
“And we will continue to win! will continue to survive in the future!”
The fear gradually disappeared from the soldiers' eyes..
I clearly saw the joy of victory filling that empty space..
Whether it was my passive skills or my words, it was good..
“Defeating the monsters!”
I just shout with all my might and sincerity.
“Let's live!”
