Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 275
◈ 275. [Free exploration] Wolf’s den (2)
a few hours ago.
As soon as I entered the base camp, Verdandi came to me and told me everything that happened yesterday..
“Last night, the enemy corps commander came to see me..”
Salome, the commander of the Haunted Corps, came to visit Verdandi..
And he made a suggestion to Verdandi..
The offer was to save all of Verdandi's comrades, but in exchange, the human commander... … In other words, he told me to pass him over..
At first, he pretended to accept it and let it go, but now he didn't know what to do, so he came to tell me right away..
“……Right.”
I, who had been quietly listening to Verdandi's story, asked Verdandi,.
“But why are you telling me this??”
“yes?”
“Wouldn't it be okay to keep it a secret and just hand it over to me? Then save your comrades, and…….”
After hesitating for a moment, I just said.
“As the dream demon said, I, a human commander who is also an enemy of the elves... … I could have removed it..”
“…….”
Verdandi, who had been silent with his mouth shut, slowly opened his mouth..
“Sure, on earth we might be enemies. I came here to save my country from being defeated in the war against humans. It would be a lie if I said I don't have any resentment toward humans..”
“But, why?”
“But Ash.”
Verdandi looked at me with a faint smile..
“you are a good person.”
“…….”
“And you are a person who knows morality. Here in this hellish dungeon, and on the front lines fighting monsters on the ground, you are someone who still harbors humanity that should have been thrown away long ago..”
All I gave this elf was a dagger..
A few handfuls of sunflower seeds. And it was just an empty promise to save my comrades..
“You will go far. i can tell.”
Verdandi already trusted me..
Is it because of the harsh environment of the dungeon below this lake?.
Or maybe it's because this elf has a good eye for people. i couldn't know.
“It's something only a fool would do to be blinded by past grudges and abandon greater possibilities. A prince must look further than that..”
“…….”
“I need to find the Holy Grail here in the dungeon. And ultimately, I must save my people on earth and reclaim my homeland..”
Verdandi slowly bowed his head to me..
“Ash, on your way forward. I felt like I needed you.”
“…….”
“I will never deceive you or betray you. I want to walk next to you.”
“Worst case scenario, even if you lose all your friends?”
“After spending over 100 years here in hell, there is one reason why my colleagues and I were able to survive without going crazy..”
Verdandi quietly sighed..
“Let's not lose our humanity. Let's not be monsters. Let’s not forget morals. I pledged and promised that..”
“…….”
“It is better to die as a warrior than to survive by betraying your benefactor. My colleagues think so too..”
After quietly looking into Verdandi's determined eyes, I slowly opened my mouth..
“I have a way. It's easy to find your companions, and... … There is a way to deal with enemies at once.”
Verdandi’s eyes widened..
“What is that method??”
“I'm going to do as the succubus queen suggested. Hand me over and get your guys back.”
“yes?! But that's because Ash was deceived by that dream demon.…….”
“You do not have to worry.”
I grinned, a bitter smile on my lips..
“I have a secret trick.”
***
today.
Succubus Queen Salome's room.
What a joke-!
Salome was struck in the chin by my right straight and rolled backwards..
‘Ugh, clean hit! went in properly!’
Although I have never studied fighting properly, I went to the battlefield wearing [Lucky Strike] for a short time..
I have developed a sense of fighting skills..
The fist went in so cleanly that it couldn't have been better! Wow, it's refreshing.
《Ugh, uhhh?》
Salome fell to the floor in an ugly manner, holding her reddened chin and tears welling up in her eyes..
《Ugh? Ugh? what? what? What is this……?》
“You're slow to understand the situation, dreamer..”
I walked in stride and headed towards Salome..
“Today is your memorial day..”
I don't know if you have any family to prepare food for your ancestral rites.!
《Hee, hee?! Go, don't come any closer.-!》
Salome's red eyes flashed and she stretched out her hand forward again..
《Now, ‘go to sleep’! very deeply-!》
Wow!-!
A pink air current swept through my body again..
“…….”
But I calmly dug my ears and continued to move forward..
It feels like being hit by a gust of wind mixed with a strong flower scent. If I had a mask, I would wear it, but I can get by without it..
《Uh, how?! How on earth do you not fall under my mental control??!》
A frightened Salome flailed backwards and screamed..
《Except for the King of Kings, my hypnosis is strong enough to cast a spell on all beings under this lake... … how on earth do you?!》
“sorry. Because it’s a trade secret.”
He spoke calmly and took a step closer to Salome..
Salome's face turned white and she stumbled backwards until her back hit the wall, and hey-?! spit out the same strange sound.
I smiled and smiled. How did I resist your mind control skills??
The answer is simple.
Thanks to my passive skill, [Indomitable Commander].
[Indomitable Commander Lv.3]
- A skill created by the noble spirit of not giving up at any time and in any situation..
- Provides immunity to mental ailments to all allies within a 20m radius..
Mental condition abnormalities can be described as ‘immune’. I don't get hit at all.
It's been like that since I first got this passive. It's a fraud skill.
However, in the beginning, it is almost useless since there are no mental status ailments. But it is useful from the middle.
It became literal..
As long as I have this passive skill, I become a hard counter that can chew through all enemies that attack me mentally..
And the dream army. In particular, the succubus and incubus, the higher-ranking entities of the dream demon army,.
The only means of attack I have is to cause mental abnormalities..
Although their actual combat skills are poor, they are very useless bastards who take our heroes and induce team kills through mental control and hypnosis..
So out of my 742 games, the number of times I exploded when I encountered these bastards was 200. It could be the biggest challenge in the middle part..
but? Oh my goodness! EX rank oh my god!
The first passive skill I received was this crazy trick..
‘It's quite late to show its usefulness only after reaching stage 11..’
Thank you, director! Thank you for adding this cheat skill!
“Okay then…….”
Now, in a place where I had nowhere to retreat, I rolled up my sleeves in earnest in front of the trembling Salome..
“Let’s have an exciting, true education time together.?”
Then Salome covered herself with her arms and screamed..
《When, I'm going to hit you?!》
“uh. I'm going to hit you..”
《No, now that I think about it, I already hit him! Me who has never been hit by my dad!》
“Don't say lines that sound like something from a romance comic. Because I'm going to sell more anyway.”
The body of a dream demon has the physical strength of a piece of paper..
Even with my weak physical strength, I can easily beat him up and finish him off..
In addition, they also steal various information. What a rewarding time this is?
《Now, wait a minute! take a look at this first!》
When I raised my fist, Salome stretched out her hand and stopped me.,
slap!
Suddenly, he lowered the shoulders of the old monk's attire he was wearing, exposing a bit of shoulder flesh..
Then,
《Ooh, ooh ooh ooh~!》
Why did he take a stiff posture like a wooden doll and make that sound?.
“……?”
《Oooh, ooh ooh…….》
For some reason, Salome repeated the same thing with her face turning red. Making strange noises with stiff movements…….
I didn't understand the situation, so I was blank and asked..
“……what are you doing now?”
《U, it's temptation..》
“Temptation?”
《Yes, that… … Temptation.》
“…….”
《……Woohoo~?》
After a moment of silence.
I stretched out my hands filled with anger and grabbed Salome by the collar. I shouted to Salome, who was scared, without realizing it..
“Don't talk nonsense! And then you are a succubus! Any way you look at it, it's tempting-!”
《Heeeeeeeet-?!》
“It's an insult to the succubus, you monster bastard! If you're going to do it, do it right.!”
When you think of a succubus, you have a fantasy, a fantasy! Everything looks smashed, yummy!
《Yeah, that's right! I must have tried to seduce someone with my body.!》
“her?”
《If you put everyone into a dream, it will fall on its own! So who can resist mental control??!》
“…….”
《I'll give you good dreams! I'll let you have a great time with the person of your dreams! Believe me! Everyone is so happy? So just be mentally controlled once, okay??》
My ideal type of partner?
Then suddenly, Serenade's face flashed in my mind.…….
‘omg.’
Oh, no. This is Ash's first love, so it just came to mind first..
Don't get caught up in the devil's evil tricks. Hehehe.
Salome, who seemed to have noticed that I was shaking for a moment, kept shouting excitedly..
《Is it just a dirty dream? I'll make sure you get plenty of other things too! The ideal you wanted to achieve! The person I wanted to meet! Endless piles of mountain and sea delicacies, and even unattainable wishes! All! I can achieve it!》
“…….”
wish?
A wish that could not be reached…….
- brother!
Suddenly, a typeface appeared before my eyes..
That short, unforgettable chat.
- As a classics fan, you have a wish you want to fulfill. Yes? It's not something like money, it's a more precious wish.
- I will listen to that dream.
- As long as you still have it in your heart, the dream is not a failure..
I also remembered the promise I made with the self-proclaimed director at first..
yes, wish.
To make it happen, I am here.
《Anything is possible for me! Really, I'm a succubus queen! Of all the dream monsters in the world, the output is the strongest? I don't know what principle you used to prevent my mental control, but if you let go of the wall in your mind for a moment, I will…….》
“Shut up, monster.”
I growled fiercely and cut Salome off..
“I think I came here just to satisfy myself with a dream.?”
《What, what?》
“I came to get it..”
The hand that gripped Salome's collar gained more strength..
“I'm here to fight for my life and get my wish.”
Salome's red eyes blinked blankly as she looked up at me..
“It doesn't matter whether you can give me a sweet daydream or a terrible nightmare.”
Again, I clench my fist and raise it..
“I achieve my wishes in my reality, with my efforts.”
Protect people, kill monsters.
There is no room for midday dreams to get in the way of this strategy to clear..
“You can dream as much as you want. monster.”
《…….》
Salome, who was looking at my face like she was fascinated, slowly blurted out something..
《ash. you really…….》
Without listening, I slammed my fist down..
I was planning to leave my physical strength at a near-dead state and interrogate this monster to get information..
at that time-
Taat!
Someone suddenly came in between and blocked my fist..
