I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 243
◈ 243. [[Free Exploration] Inner Checkpoint (2)
bang-!
Devil Gatekeeper, 'Checkpoint Inspector Baltimore’.
Lucas and Evangeline rushed in first and stopped the guy's furious charge..
A huge demon dressed in impeccable armor groaned and stopped in place..
“punishment unit!”
I gave orders to Kuilan and the punishment unit that were on standby..
“It's your turn.”
“Come on! It's good!”
This boss monster had been planned in advance to be dealt with only by a punishment unit..
One way or another, the punishment unit is currently the strongest among the sub-parties under my command. You must perform well in this Stage 10 defense as well..
‘You can't even catch a boss like this.!’
Lucas and Evangeline quickly retreated to the left and right, and in that gap, I swung my cane and lightly tapped the shoulders of the members of the punishment unit..
Tiring! Tiring! ring!
A random buff along with a unique sound effect was applied to the bodies of five members of the punishment unit..
“Oh, it's full of power?!”
“The duration of the buff magic is 3 minutes. Be careful not to lose strength suddenly.”
“Ugh, then all I have to do is kill that monster within 3 minutes??”
thud!
Kuilan grinned and clenched his fists in front of his chest..
Lucky strike in the right hand. A regular gauntlet is worn on the left hand..
“I don't know anything else, but we have been good at defeating soldiers wearing full armor since ancient times. I'll show you properly today, Your Majesty..”
“I'm not looking forward to it. Kuilan.”
Having said that, I quickly glanced at Lucas and Evangeline..
The two knights also immediately nodded..
If the penal unit, especially the stubborn Kuilan, is in danger, two knights will be brought in to save the day..
Aside from his fighting skills, Kuilan is a very unstable melee dealer due to his 'glass body' characteristic..
No matter how many safety devices I put on my equipment, I don’t feel at ease.…….
Taat-!
In this unstable situation, Kuilan and the punishment unit rushed towards the boss monster..
Kuilan's entire body was overflowing with red energy. It was its own buff skill [Maple Leaf Nest]..
The red energy spread to Kuilan's hands and feet, then leapt forward and struck the boss monster's armor..
tuquagwagwang!
It sounded like a hammer hitting iron..
Kuilan's 1st skill, [Smashing Maple Leaves]].
This is a skill that ignores the opponent's armor and projects a blow..
Even though it was wearing thick armor, the boss monster flinched in embarrassment when it received damage..
“Strike without stopping! Clash! combo-!”
bang! Kwagwagwagwang!
Kuilan's fist struck the armor like a flash and fell, red energy fluttering a beat late and scattering in all directions..
Like a maple leaf.
‘……Is that why all the skills have the word ‘maple leaf’ attached to them??’
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The boss monster swung the club in his hand roughly sideways..
Kuilan flexibly bent his large body, easily dodged the attack, and continued to strike with his fists and feet..
Unlike other monsters, demon monsters do not have clear strengths or weaknesses..
Instead, it has superior stats in all respects to humans and can use equipment like humans..
In other words… … No different from a ‘strong human being’.
The better you are at fighting against humans, the easier it will be at fighting against demon species..
“It's obvious, it's obvious! I was nervous because I was the boss, but this is it.?!”
As a bandit king who has been fighting against the imperial army for decades, Kuilan led the battle by skillfully dodging the enemy's attacks and sinking his fist in return..
“Oooh! Our captain is doing well.!”
“Now, let’s go in quickly. If you don't help, you'll hear something later..”
Kuilan squealed as his men approached him..
“I was already going to say something, you bastards! Help me quickly!”
“Yeah yeah, here we go.~!”
The members of the punishment unit, who had been with Kuilan for a long time, skillfully covered Kuilan's gaps and led the battle by linking additional hits with Kuilan's attacks..
Wow!
After being beaten for a while, the boss monster's eyes turned red, he ripped off the armor on his body, and spread the wings on his back wide..
Phase 2 of the Demon Gatekeeper.
Attack power and speed increase, but defense decreases..
《Black rain pouring down? flood? Tsunami? What about the water crisis? Are you asking non-citizens to enter the inner part of our lake kingdom?!》
The boss monster muttered something unintelligible again and swung his club roughly..
《Even if the entire Lake Kingdom were submerged, unauthorized people would not be allowed into the inner city! that is my responsibility!》
Kugwagwagwagwang-!
The guy swung his club like crazy and devastated the surrounding area. It is a ‘frenzy’ pattern that is activated after the start of phase 2..
Of course, I know all about this pattern..
So, the punishment unit was notified in advance, and Kuilan and the punishment unit had already moved out of the range and easily avoided the attack..
《Execute those climbing the castle walls! No matter how emergency it is, it must be handled according to the law! It's all summary judgment! summary judgment……!》
‘Immediately after the 'Frenzy' pattern ended, the demon gatekeeper's movements slowed down due to exhaustion for a moment..
Taat-!
Kuilan and the members of the punishment unit rushed in from all directions at the same time..
Sigh! Phew! Powok……!
Each weapon is locked in the devil's red body,
“Hmm-!”
Half a beat later, Kuilan clenched his fists and attacked the boss monster head-on..
The bandit king's two fists were brimming with red energy like flames..
Powok!
First, the left fist got stuck in the solar plexus of the devil's gatekeeper..
Even if it was a monster that received boss corrections, it must have been difficult to hold still in a situation where exhaustion and defense decreased..
The devil's waist was slightly bent forward..
My jaw dropped..
“Bite your molars tightly-!”
Kuilan shouted powerfully and raised an uppercut with his right fist - striking the demon gatekeeper's chin..
Powwow-!
The demon gatekeeper's head was thrown back, and a tremendous red gust of wind rose from the lucky strike struck by Kuilan's right hand..
The number that appears in the lucky strike slot window in the corner of my vision is 3, 3, 3.
‘Wassi, triple triple!’
777Even if it's not as good as that, it's still a hit. Is this really luck?……?
Not only was his weak spot hit, but the lucky strike hit the jackpot, and the demon gatekeeper collapsed, coughing up blood..
《Checkpoints are always... … Entering and exiting according to the law…….》
“Be loud, man! Stretch out quickly!”
Kuilan's left and right fists landed once more in the jaw of the demon gatekeeper, who was muttering until the end as he collapsed..
thud……!
The large figure of the devil gatekeeper fell to the floor in an unsightly manner..
“Phew!”
When the guy stopped moving, Kuilan lightly waved his hands and looked back at me with a grin..
“It's nothing compared to being nervous.!”
The demon gatekeeper appears as a boss monster now, but when you go deeper into the dungeon, he appears as a regular monster..
If you go later, they come out in droves..
Perhaps that's why, for a boss, the pattern is simple and can be defeated relatively easily..
So, it could have been left to the Kuilan party..
‘……There's no need to tell me that.’
For now, let's boost their confidence. I grinned and patted Kuilan and the members of the punishment unit on the shoulders one by one..
“excellent. Now, it can really be said to be the main party of the monster front..”
“Ahahaha! I can feel myself getting stronger every day! What if it becomes stronger than your direct party? Because I want to?”
Kuilan, who was in triumph, shrugged his shoulders and spoke, and the members of the punishment unit burst into laughter. Wahahaha……!
“Hoo……?”
“I heard wrong, right, mister? I heard some pretty cute nonsense..”
Immediately, the faces of Lucas and Evangeline standing behind me became tense. Wow, this is my first time seeing their angry faces..
“I guess I'll have to do some 'training' again as soon as I get back.…….”
“Do you really need to go back and do it? I'll destroy it right here.”
I set the mood by intervening between the punishment unit running wild with joy at having defeated the boss monster with their own strength, and the two knights trying to organize the ranks of the punishment unit..
“Come on, you haven't cleared the dungeon yet. There are more monsters left.”
This dungeon is in the ‘Conquest War’ format..
Now that you've defeated the boss monster and captured the flagpole, you have to fend off waves of monsters for 5 minutes..
As soon as my words left my mouth, demonic soldiers started pouring in from all directions..
Verdandi and Damian, who finished cleaning up the castle wall, joined us in a huff..
“in defensive formation!”
At the same time as I shouted, 10 party members formed a circle as they had trained in advance..
“There's no need to give in anymore.”
I hinted to the two drivers who were still angry..
“Run wild as you want.”
Lucas and Evangeline smiled cruelly and raised their respective weapons..
Yes, show the juniors that our main party is on a different level.!
***
5minutes later.
All demon soldiers were completely defeated (most of them were crushed by Lucas and Evangeline), and the occupation was successfully completed..
Dungeon has been cleared.
flutter-!
The imperial flag rose powerfully on the flagpole, perhaps indicating the completion of the occupation. Damian made a heh noise..
“If this happens, will this place become our land now??”
“Unfortunately, that's not the case.”
Dungeons are reset every season.
The occupation of this place is not maintained, and new monsters appear after the next stage..
Even the door we broke will be repaired safely..
Conquest War is only a method of clearing, and does not constitute actual land-grabbing..
‘It's unfortunate that the occupation is not maintained, but if you think about it differently, it refills mobs and provides experience points..’
It is beneficial to us to have at least one more dungeon that can be farmed..
……When I explained that, Damian licked his lips with regret and looked up at the fluttering imperial flag..
Meanwhile, party members have been looting to find treasure chests..
There were two treasure chests in total. In one, several consumables came out in clumps, and in the other,.
[Great Commander's Banner Fragment]
“oh!”
A piece of my special equipment came out.!
[Great Commander's Banner Fragment] (2/5)
- One of the five pieces of character ‘Ash’s’ exclusive equipment [Great Commander’s Flag (EX)].
- Collect all five pieces to create one flag.
I was wondering when I would get it all together, but somehow the pieces are coming together little by little. I quickly grabbed the piece and put it in my arms..
All monsters have been cleared, all recoverable items have been taken, and the teleport gate at the safe base has been activated.…….
Now it was time to return.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
“hmm?”
Suddenly, a high-pitched, annoying beeping sound began to ring in my ears..
[ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!]
At the same time, a red system window appeared and began displaying warning messages in front of me. What is this??
The system window that is outputting warning sounds and warning messages is…….
[boss detection radar]
- Sends a warning when a boss monster is nearby.
Boss Detection Radar, which previously opened as a feature in the Achievement Shop..
It was a function that Ader added as a precaution after the vampire lord Celendion made a surprise attack in the dungeon..
There was no need to warn regular boss monsters in free exploration, so it was set to only work when a corps commander-level boss approaches..
That radar... … was reacting now.
“indeed.”
I smiled bitterly and glared inside the city..
“You really got it.”
Likewise, perhaps because they felt something, the party members turned their heads one by one in the direction I was looking..
“This……?!”
“Pfft?!”
“Coming, something……!”
With a tense face, each person holding their weapon.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk…….
Inside the walls we broke through.
With the sound of heavy footsteps. Without even thinking about hiding it. Boldly.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk……!
He came through the darkness.
The intimidating feeling it gave off gave me the illusion that the darkness was splitting into left and right sides..
《was waiting.》
A huge muscular werewolf with a flowing silver-red mane..
The boss of this stage 10.
Lycanthrope. The Monster of Gévaudan).
The slayer of full moonlight. wolf king-
“……Luna Red.”
When I spit out its name, the monster laughs.
《ash. Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack.》
The monster who recited my name looked at me intently with red eyes..
The monster's eyes were twinkling with pure longing..
《……Finally, I found it.》
A pure desire to tear me to pieces and kill me..
