Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 272
◈ 272. [[Free Exploration] Doing side quests
“so.”
After a brief chaos passed.
Put Lily aside and come to the corner with Verdandi and Godhand. I asked.
“What is the relationship between you two??”
It is said that the Holy Grail Exploration Team entered this dungeon over 100 years ago..
Because elves are a representative long-lived race. It's not surprising that we knew each other before that..
However, Verdandi and Godhand only glanced at each other and could not easily reply. I frowned..
“what. We can really be lovers?”
Lily's eyes glazed over as if she had heard the conversation on the other side. Her freaked out godhand busily waved her hand.
“It's never like that!”
“Then what is it? Why can't you tell me??”
“Well, actually, Verdandi is the head of the fairy kingdom.…….”
This time, Verdandi rolled his eyes at Godhand, who was trying to say something..
Godhand was also frightened and stammered as he spoke..
“Mr. Verdandi said… … You have a high rank. I was once under this man's command..”
“Hmm?”
Actually, I know Verdandi’s ‘true identity’. Of course, because I know the backgrounds of SSR-level named characters..
However, if you want to hide it, there is no need to scratch it. I aimed the arrow at Godhand..
“Well, now that you've met your old boss, you won't give your loyalty to me, but to Verdandi.?”
“No, absolutely not that, Your Majesty! The only master our shadow unit is loyal to is Your Majesty.!”
Godhand, who shouted at me, almost fell to the floor. Seeing God Hand like that, Verdandi clicked his tongue..
“No matter how much he bows down and is loyal to humans, how can he do this without me seeing him?…….”
“no. Mr. Verdandi. This is so……!”
God Hand was in tears. I'm getting beaten up from all sides. Are you the main character in a political drama?.
I, who couldn't see it, stepped forward and organized it..
“Anyway, the two are old, but they are not in a loyal relationship, nor are they in a romantic relationship.?”
“That's right! That's correct, Your Majesty.!”
“okay. okay. I understand.”
I gestured towards Lily over there..
“But will he forgive me??”
Gooooo-
A flame-type wizard was seen emitting a clear red aura..
I feel a strong anger, as if it will turn this area into a sea of fire at any moment..
“Liar, liar, elves are liars after all…….”
“Hee hee hee hee.”
An unsightly groan flowed from Godhand's mouth. You have a surprisingly diverse character.…….
Anyway, there is no reason to watch someone other than me being the main character in a love triangle (square?) relationship. I ended the situation..
“Godhand, take Lily over there and have a conversation between the two of you. Let’s resolve misunderstandings and share some accumulated stories..”
“Well, with Lily in that state right now.……?”
“Then run away? Basically, you have to catch the spark while it is small. I don't know? ‘Look at the hidden embers, look again at the extinguished embers’’~”
When I picked up the slogan to be careful of fire that I had heard in the past, Godhand became deathly ill and trudged towards Lily..
It's incredibly refreshing to see these guys who were making fun of others just a few minutes ago doing that. giggle.
“Verdandi?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
When I called, Verdandi responded quickly. I grinned..
“I don't care what your past is. We are cooperating with each other here in the dungeon. yes?”
“That's right.”
“but. Godhand and his elves are now my subordinates..”
Suddenly, Godhand changed the genre and was playing alone..
Anyway, all of the shadow troops are loyal subordinates who sacrifice their lives for me..
“Even if they are of the same race, it would be difficult if you tried to take them away. I can't stand having anything taken away from me..”
It is one of the few elite sub-parties. I will not forgive anyone who steals a contract regardless of whether it is school ties, local ties, or blood ties..
Verdandi nodded with a pale face..
“……I'll keep that in mind.”
I grinned.
“good! Then, shall we go and rescue your precious comrades who are being held captive??”

Before going to clear the road, another purpose for visiting this place today. I came to meet Coco, an NPC dedicated to teleportation..
Grandma Coco was sitting in her workshop..
Now that Kelly Bay is away, he was the only NPC guarding this base camp..
The large witch was stirring a large cauldron with bubbling unidentified ingredients, and her eyes widened when I approached her..
“What business do you have today, little prince? There's at least a door I can open?”
I said my business without any hesitation..
I want to build a teleport gate wherever I want. Is it possible to seek cooperation?.
“Hmm, construction of a teleport gate.…….”
Coco looked at me with a mysterious smile. I nodded..
“If you're Grandma Coco, you can do it, right? You're a master of space magic..”
“Of course it is possible. Because I was the one who built the teleport gates throughout the Lake Kingdom in the first place..”
Coco recalled the past with distant eyes.
“After the Lake Kingdom was covered in darkness, Myung and I spent hundreds of years building safe bases here and there..”
Actually, I didn't know about Coco because I wasn't that interested in it. Come to think of it, this grandmother is also hundreds of years old..
You are definitely not an ordinary human being.
Is he an ancient wizard, seeing as he uses real space magic as if he were breathing??
Or are they residents of the Lake Kingdom, cursed with eternal life?.
“Light up the lights, build a teleportation gate, and set up a barrier to prevent monsters from entering... … . Those were hard but rewarding days..”
“…….”
“I don't know if all that suffering was worth it..”
Coco stared at the dense darkness outside the base camp, and then turned her head to me again..
“Ok, fine. Let me help you. You might be worth helping.”
“why? I think I can drive out the darkness from this kingdom.?”
When asked jokingly, Coco burst into laughter..
“I've seen plenty of young people with potential here in the dark! I've seen them all fall to pieces, lose their light, and disappear many times. I'm too worn out to put my hopes on anything.”
then?
Why am I worth helping??
“The reason I'm trying to help you is because of your natural 'talent'.”
“……Talent?”
“What, are you not aware of it??”
Talent? What talent? Talent as a hardcore gamer? Talent as a streamer? My viewers used to tease me about my talent as a clown..
“As a magician who manipulates space, there is only one talent in another field that I recognize..”
But the story Coco told was of a completely different kind..
“time).”
“……?”
I closed my eyes in a daze..
hour? Time?
I have talent there?
What kind of ghost is this out of nowhere?……?
“What happened? You may not know it now, but you will gradually realize it..”
Coco waved her hand and smiled..
“Anyway, it's good. If you just get the materials, I'll build a teleportation gate at the location you want. but…….”
The old witch's eyes were somehow filled with mischievous mischief. It was a look I knew very well..
“It won't be easy to find that material..”
So, that old B look at the newbies and say, ‘You should try hard too.’…….
ring!
A system window appeared before my eyes. I quickly checked..
[Item Crafting Quest]
- Obtain the materials needed to create a teleport gate..
> SR grade or higher magic core (0/1)
> dark crystal (0/5)
> devil's heart (0/3)
> …….
> …….
The dark crystals that come from high-level monsters in the depths of the dungeon are basic, and the Devil's Heart that drops only from the highest-tier monsters, the Demon Legion..
It was full of magic ingredients that could only be obtained from various deep places..
In particular, there were many ingredients from District 7. I laughed bitterly..
‘One way or another, I have to go to District 7 in the end..’
Still, I feel proud when I complete the quest by overlapping the routes..
‘Rescue kidnapped NPC. And build a teleport gate.’
Let's finish two subquests at the same time.!
I shook my hands and turned around. The party members were seen ready to enter the dungeon. I shouted energetically.
“Okay, let’s go clear the road.!”
***
I was worried that it would be quite difficult since the main party was missing..
Unexpectedly, it wasn't like that at all..
puck! Pow! Craddangtangtang!
First of all, the 5 members of the punishment unit in beastman mode were breaking through the front line with incredible breakthrough power..
They currently have new traits activated..
[full moon wolf]
- For two weeks before and after the full moon rises, it transforms into a wear beast. Strength and stamina gradually increase. Intelligence and magical power gradually decrease. This effect is strongest on full moon days.
- Two weeks before and after the day the old moon rises, they transform into humans. Returns to default stats.
Undispellable attribute, [Wolf of the Full Moon]].
For two weeks before and after the full moon, you change into your current form as a beast and receive bonuses to your strength and stamina..
However, this figure is much higher than I thought. Above all, Kuilan receives the effect extremely well..
“Hahaha! Get out of here, you monsters.-!”
Kuilan shouted excitedly and stretched his fist forward. The skeletons, this season's monsters, were hit by his fist and shattered in all directions..
Kuilan was a melee dealer with high strength and agility, but extremely low stamina..
[Because of the [Glass Body] characteristic, no matter what I did, my stamina stat was so low that even if I got hit just once, I would vomit blood and fall asleep..
However, for the two weeks when [Full Moon Wolf] is activated, the [Glass Body] attribute disappears..
Perhaps because the body mutates into that of a beastman, the negative characteristics of the existing body can be ignored. Honey!
Thus, the current Kuilan has become a full-fledged martial arts expert who has achieved close to the maximum in all three major virtues of a vanguard character: strength, agility, and stamina.!
Even though it is limited to two weeks a month, they treat you like this! Actually, while investing in you all this time, I thought it was a little, no, a lot of waste.!
In addition to Kuilan, the punishment unit is all warrior and thief classes. It's a melee character. Forms the potential line steadily..
And the rest of the members who came with us,
Fu shoot! Push shot!
patter-!
The shadow unit was originally the firepower team of the monster front here.!
Although they have lost two archers, the combination of Metal Master Godhand, Telekinesis Body Bag, and Explosive Area Archer Burnout is generating overwhelming firepower..
A group of skeletons are swept away in an instant..
and.
Finally, unintentionally included guest members.
Grumbling-!
Lily raised a huge fireball and gave a bloody look..
“Super special move…….”
Lily's hands stretched forward and hurled the huge fireball at incredible speed..
“kill a liar-!”
Kugwagwagwagwang!
The fireball that flew out emitting tremendous heat caused a grand explosion..
Kieeeeek-!
The Giant Skeleton Conqueror, the dungeon boss at the end of District 6, where we were currently entering, was hit directly by the fireball and disappeared, leaving behind only pitch-black ash..
“…….”
Is this an R-rated wizard? Is this level 32? This is possible?
As I watched this with my mouth wide open, Godhand, who was standing next to me, began to tremble..
I put my hand on his shoulder and nodded quietly..
“The office romance you chose... … No, it's a relationship within the front line. Hold on to your evil spirit.”
“……yes. That's what I'm going to do.”
God Hand smiled with a trembling mouth..
“I'm tired of living a lie. Now I try to live honestly, both to others and to myself..”
“…….”
“I will clear up Lily's misunderstanding and convey my true feelings..”
[Godhand, who was breathing heavily, took long strides towards Lily, who was panting heavily due to exhaustion from using the super-killing liar-killing technique (no such technique)..
As I watched the relationship between the two people, which was not easily resolved, I gave God Hand my sincere support..
‘I hope that later, when the couple fights, they get hit by that fire ball and burn black..’
Seriously, you son of a bitch.!
