Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 253
◈ 253. [Side Story] The moon is rising
I feel this every time I look at the character sheet, Korean and English are used haphazardly..
Why is that in English and this in Korean? What the hell is the standard? Can't we be a little more consistent? Even when it was a game, there was some talk..
Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's just the director's taste..
I put aside useless information and looked at the three unique job names..
Lucas is [Night Closer]. Evangeline is [Frontier Guardian]. Damian is [Magic Bullet Marksman].
Lucas and Evangeline got their unique jobs from the game..
‘First of all, Lucas’ Night Closer..’
There were differing opinions among viewers as to what this meant..
Does knight mean knight or night? And how should closures be interpreted??
After intense debate in the community, here's what my viewers came to:.
It is said that Lucas shines like the sun while wearing exclusive equipment and using his ultimate, so his nickname in the latter part of the game is 'Knight of the Sun'..
The sun rising on the battlefield.
So, the one who closes the night).
This interpretation was dominant, but I preferred the more unpopular interpretation..
Closer means ‘closer’ in baseball..
The strongest hand that ends the game and preserves victory.
So Lucas is the ‘finishing knight’ who ends the war on this front and preserves victory..
Anyway, as soon as Lucas' job name appeared, a war broke out in the chat window..
They called each other ignorant and dissed each other, saying that their interpretation was correct and the other's interpretation was hopeless..
In the end, Lucas' job name was banned from being mentioned in chat... … The job name is not that important.…….
I thought back to my broadcasting days and shook my head to come to my senses. That's the end of the story then.
‘Next is Evangeline.’
Frontier Guardian.
There is no room for interpretation of this..
Guardian of the Frontier.
Those who guard the front lines.
It would be a very fitting job title for the successor to the Cross family that has protected this fortress city at the southernmost tip of the continent..
‘This is Damian's first job..’
Magic Bullet Gunner.
It's also the title of a famous German opera..
I'm completely unfamiliar with that field, so I don't really know what opera is about. I've at least heard the name..
‘Well, you can understand it as the name of a magician's promotion..’
Anyway, the job names of all three are like this. Now let’s check out the ultimate skills of the three..
I tapped Lucas' ultimate skill [Full Body Advent], Evangeline's ultimate skill [Last Fortress], and Damian's ultimate skill [Confrontation] in succession to display the skill description in front of me.-
“Seniors! What are you doing there from earlier?!”
Eh.
Suddenly a voice came flying out.
When I looked over in confusion, I saw the other four party members staring at me. Evangeline waved her hand wildly..
“He called me to celebrate with him, but he was just giggling in the corner... … . Come this way! let's hang out together!”
“…….”
The moment I heard that, what can I say?.
I felt like a parent attending my child's school performance and just looking at the smartphone camera..
Of course, it is important to know the exact stats of party members through the system window, but.
This is a time to celebrate these guys’ success in their third job change..
‘okay. You can figure out the ultimate description later, but it's much faster to feel the performance by using it in real life..’
See your colleagues with your own eyes, not through a system window.
I closed the system window and approached the party members. Then he clapped his hands and asked.
“Okay, what should we play?!”

same time.
Crossroads downtown. barracks.
“I’ve been there, whoaaam… … . The other kids said they would come back after having another drink.…….”
When Kuilan returned to his quarters in the barracks.
Clang-!
“Big black!”
Kureha was cooking something again in the kitchen when she spilled her plate. A startled Kuilan ran into the kitchen..
“No, I said I was coming after eating, and even if I told him to rest for a while, this guy really didn't listen to me.……!”
Kuilan's eyes widened as he scolded Kureha..
It was because I had just discovered that my brother's right arm had been mummified..
Kureha urgently lowered her sleeve to cover her right arm, but it was already too late..
“Brother, my right arm……?”
“Ah, this is, I mean.”
Kureha was waving her hands and couldn't help but laugh bitterly..
“Last time, I happened to be in a situation where I had to use my strength... … haha. It happened like that..”
“…….”
“No, it’s similar to the left leg! I adapted quickly. It’s not particularly uncomfortable! No need to worry! really!”
Kuilan asked his brother, who was trying to speak cheerfully, in a calm voice..
“Why did you keep it a secret from me??”
“……Because there is no benefit in letting me know.”
Kureha excused himself to his younger brother, whose face was stiff..
“It's a curse that can't be cured anyway. Rather than causing unnecessary worry, I was just trying to hide it..”
“……Kureha.”
Kuilan noticed something and asked slowly..
“Could it be that the curse was caused by the blood flowing through our bodies??”
“…….”
“The monster wolf I met in the dungeon said that. I am his descendant... … Is that curse on his brother's body related to that wolf monster??”
I've come this far, how can I hide it?.
Kureha nodded slowly..
“okay.”
“You knew from the beginning. Monster blood flowing through our bodies.”
“……okay.”
“Why didn't you tell me??”
There was anger in Kuilan's eyes..
“Why do you keep everything to yourself?.”
“…….”
“You're hiding something from me again?”
“Kuilan.”
“say. entire. right now.”
My younger brother, who was once so small and young that I could lift him with one arm, is now a young man who is a head taller than me..
Kureha looked up at her younger brother and at the coin necklace hanging around his neck, then closed her eyes tightly..
Old memories flashed through my mind..
Maple tree.
The father who put a curse on Kuilan.
Villagers turned into wolves.
A burning village. Screams and the smell of blood. Death scattered everywhere.
A hellish full moon night…….
How on earth should I explain all of that?.
“…….”
My younger brother, who was easily deceived when I said it was all because of the empire, was no longer there. Kuilan has grown so much.
but. No matter how thick your hair and body become,.
Do I really need to be reminded of that terrible memory of living as a victim of a curse?.
Wouldn't it be much happier now that I don't remember?…….
So Kureha hesitated, and Kuilan fought back..
“Why can’t you speak, Kureha? My words don't sound like words?!”
“Kuilan, I… … I just want to protect you.”
Kureha stretched out her left hand and tapped her younger brother's shoulder..
“Just give it a little more time. I'll definitely tell you everything someday.”
“…….”
Kuilan, who saw Kureha treating him like she was scolding a child, pulled his brother's hand away in frustration..
“I still look like the weak kid I was back then who couldn't even walk properly, bro.?”
“Kuilan.”
“what? You want to protect me? Stop talking nonsense! I already have my bandits and my brother! I'm protecting it.!”
Kuilan gritted his teeth and turned around to leave..
“Live your whole life like that, hugging everything and moaning alone, damn it..”
“Kuilan! for a moment…….”
thud!
Kuilan left the dormitory and closed the door..
“…….”
Kureha looked back toward the kitchen with a long sigh. She saw a pile of cold food.
No matter how much he grew, in his eyes, his younger brother was still the same child he was that day..
A child who needs to be fed, cared for and protected..
“It's all because of my guilt, I know it…….”
I know but.
I didn't have the courage to say it.
The mistake he made that day, and the curse that his younger siblings will have to return when he dies someday.…….
Kureha sighed and looked out the window. Before I knew it, the moon had risen in the sky..
The moon, which filled more than half of its body, was slowly expanding in size..

Lake Kingdom Dungeon. Area 7 [Wolf Den].
Contrary to the name ‘Gul’, this was a large underground bar..
The name written on the sign creaking in the dark was ‘Wolf Den’..
A flock of werewolves poured out from here. At the forefront was the wolf king, Lunared..
There are now three days left until the defense of Crossroads..
The Lake Kingdom's monster army begins its campaign..
A group of hundreds of werewolves formed an orderly parade and advanced to the north gate of the Lake Kingdom..
The deadly force unleashed by the elite monsters under the Wolf King was like a blade..
This was when Luna Red and his wolves reached the square in front of the northern gate of the Lake Kingdom..
Flash! flashing-!
I could see a dazzling beam of light shooting out from the square and splitting the sky. Luna Red clicked his tongue..
《Looks like it's already started.》
As I entered the square, I could see the rays of light even better..
flashing-!
cotton.
She was swinging her sword and emitting beams of light, killing monsters, and countless werewolves were rushing towards her with their jaws open and their claws swinging..
They are a group of decoys who will kill time by dealing with unknown people..
While the main force led by Lunared went out of the Lake Kingdom, they were in charge of attracting the attention of unknown people..
Every time the beam of light fired by Nameless touched the decoy army, it was oxidized into a handful of blood..
Lunared wanted to fight with Nameless in a life-or-death battle, but he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive from the Demon King if he did so..
《Let’s pay off the royalties first and then have fun, unknown.…….》
Luna Red muttered and led the main force to the north gate of the Lake Kingdom..
Kugugoogung Palace……!
The rusty iron door, which was tightly locked, slowly began to split left and right..
“……! Stop, Luna Red.!”
Unknown noticed that Luna Red's main force was approaching the door and swung his sword sharply..
The light exploded, and all the wolves in the area died..
“Whoo, whoo, whoo!”
He adjusted his breathing roughly and wiped away the blood that had spattered on his cheek. Lunared stood still and stared at the unknown person..
《It looks difficult. cotton.》
“…….”
《Even a hundred years ago, I wasn't tired. I guess my limbs are shaking now even when dealing with small children like this.?》
“You don't even look normal. Luna Red.”
Nameless frowned coldly. Luna Red's eyebrows furrowed..
《What nonsense? I am in perfect condition.》
“I can only hear one heartbeat?”
Nameless smiled and pointed the tip of his sword at the Wolf King..
“It looks like it spilled somewhere.?‘
《…….》
Lunared quietly frowned and placed her hand on her chest..
When being ‘punished’ by the Demon King, one of the two hearts he possessed was crushed..
The heart is not only the most important organ, but also the source of magical power..
Although he lost one and was not in perfect condition, the Wolf King leisurely raised the corners of his long mouth..
《Heung, does it take two hearts to destroy things like royalties? One was thrown away on purpose..》
“Which one did you lose??”
Nameless narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Between the heart of a wolf and the heart of a human, which heart is left??”
《What do you know? Whichever heart just returns blood to my body, that's it..》
“……indeed.”
Anonymous, who was listening with his eyes closed, had a meaningful smile on his lips..
“Luna Red. Listen. You are no match for Ash..”
《what?》
“Even if I let you go like this, your army will be defeated miserably..”
Lunared's fist gained strength..
《You seem to trust those young people quite a bit..》
“okay. It's been a long time since anyone explored this place with only good intentions..”
《I would be very happy if you cut off the heads of those you like so much, Unnamed. I'll make sure to cut them one by one and bring them to you..》
“As I said, even if I send you away like this, you will be defeated. I'll never be able to come back here again. But nevertheless, I will stop you with all my might..”
Nameless, who was holding the sword, chanted as coldly as a blade..
“Because that's my mission.”
《…….》
Luna Red, who twisted the corner of her mouth fiercely, slowly turned her body and walked toward the square where Nameless was..
《I was commanded to go away from you... … It won't work either. I'll punch you in the face and then go off to war..》
The SS tried to stop him, but Luna Red ignored him and headed towards the unknown..
In the middle of a square lined with wolf corpses.
Nameless and Lunar Red faced each other and raised their swords and claws towards each other..
《No matter how much you sacrifice yourself here, there is no salvation for you. dethroned princess.》
“I never wanted anything like that.”
Anonymous sneered..
“I just want to die here at the bottom of the lake with all of you..”
The next moment, the two powerful beings rushing towards each other collided..
***
Time passes inexorably..
The moon's lost flesh is filling up helplessly..
Soon, it will be a full moon.
