Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 286
◈ 286. [Side Story] Martial Arts Competition (3)
barracks. meeting room.
Before the finals, I was giving Lucas a quick lesson..
“Okay, Lucas? The opponent is a half-man and half-dragon with ultra-high power..”
As I spoke while drawing a picture of a dragon with chalk on the blackboard, Lucas nodded with a focused face..
Evangeline, who was listening next to me, tilted her head..
“That's a drawing of an earthworm.?”
“First of all, the guy who got two shots even after taking the tutoring, please be quiet.!”
Evangeline's lips popped out at my scolding. Ignoring it, I continued my explanation..
The final opponent, Dusk Bringer, may be human in form, but is half-dragon in substance..
The level of existence is different, and the capacity of the soul is different. These beings have incredibly high limiting power, but instead.
“Fuel economy is trash.”
I drew a dead battery icon on the board, but Lucas and Evangeline were like, 'What is that?' It was a face that said.
Oops. There are no batteries in this town.
In any case, the fuel used to use Dusk Bringer's power - mana, energy, or at least calories - is terribly inefficient..
Although the MP tank is enormous, the mana consumed each time a skill is used is also enormous and recovery is slow..
A leader in high output and low efficiency.
That's a dragon species).
There is a reason why Dusk Bringer has been fighting by just snapping his fingers..
The bigger the movement and the bigger the force you carry, the more you expend yourself..
“The more time you take, the more advantageous it becomes..”
In the end, the conclusion was simple. I turned to face Lucas and nodded his head..
“Hold on, hold on, hold on. Until that woman tires herself out. the opportunity will come then.”
“I'll do it, my lord..”
Lucas nodded and clenched his fists..
“I will definitely win and bring the honor of winning the martial arts competition to my master.……!”
“There's only you, man.”
You are really the only one aiming for first place under my command.!
At that time, cheering was heard outside. Looks like it's already time for the finals. I patted Lucas on the back..
“Go and get it done.!”
“Yes, my lord.!”
Lucas rushed out..
Evangeline, who was looking at the back of the snack while eating it, made a humming sound..
“Uncle Lucas, are you okay? … ? It seems like a lot of pressure..”
“Why do you look so unburdened?……?”
“Oh my, I worked hard too.?”
Evangeline glanced pointedly at me and muttered as she looked at the spot where Lucas had left..
“However, Uncle Lucas… … I feel like risking my life. I'm a little anxious.”
“…….”
This martial arts competition is a battle of pride between Dusk Bringer and our monster front..
However, it is also just a battle of pride..
If it becomes too extreme, we will naturally stop it. I hope I never end up there…….
***
Because the martial arts competition lasted all day, the finals were held late in the evening..
Before we knew it, the evening sun was casting a long shadow over the dance floor. Two figures stand on the vermilion-stained stadium..
Dusk Bringer smiles evilly under the shadow of his robe hood..
And the opponent, the last hope of the monster front, Lucas..
“…….”
“…….”
The girl and the knight glared at each other for a moment..
Inside the shadowy hood of Dusk Bringer, amber eyes flashed like those of a wild animal..
Dragon King of the Sunset.
The girl covered in scarlet sunlight looked perfectly suited to this nickname..
Lucas slowly took a fighting stance in front of him. Clenching his fists, he slowly raises his guard..
‘It would be much more worth it if I could use a wooden sword..’
Lucas thought.
But if you do that, you might actually see blood. Dusk Bringer is also not using his powers, so it's like they're playing chess against each other..
‘As my lord said, take my time and deal with me slowly..’
Lucas kept his mouth shut and slowly raised his voice..
The atmosphere was tense and suffocating, filling the gymnasium. The sound of gulping and dry swallowing rang out one after another from the audience..
The referee standing calmly in the center, Ader, smiled brightly and lowered his hand..
“start-!”
Taat!
Without even thinking about who went first, the two fighters kicked the ground..
It was Dusk Bringer who struck first. The girl's small fingers gathered strength, folded, and jerked forward..
Lucas did not dodge that attack, which had the power to knock him out in an instant if he allowed it..
up!
Instead, he reached out and grabbed Dusk Bringer's wrist, forcing him to change direction..
Powwow-!
A powerful finger snap hit the empty air..
“Hoo?”
Dusk Bringer let out a curious voice while being grabbed by the wrist by Lucas..
“This is a very fearless child.”
“You have to be fearless.”
Lucas grabbed Dusk Bringer's arm with his left arm and growled as he gathered strength into his right fist..
“Only then can you become a dragon slayer.……!”
What a joke!
Lucas' fist exploded..
I planned to take my time and deal with him slowly, but there was no reason not to hit him when the opponent was clearly exposing the gap..
Lucas' fist landed squarely in Dusk Bringer's empty cheek..
but.
“……!”
Doesn't budge.
Even when hit by Lucas' large fist, Dusk Bringer's small face was not pushed away even by a speck..
Instead, small lips parted and a vicious smile spread..
“Why are you doing this, knight? The evil dragon is here. Should I kill and get the glory? If you can't do that…….”
Dusk Bringer immediately shook off Lucas' arm that was holding him and flicked his finger forward once again..
“Just get eaten-!”
“Pfft……?!”
Lucas managed to avoid the finger snapping and then once again inserted the hook into the side of the completely empty Dusk Bringer..
But it doesn't move at all.
Pow! Pow! Pow! Powok!
Standing close together, the evil dragon and the knight traded attack and defense like that..
Lucas dodged all of Dusk Bringer's finger snaps and steadily counterattacked..
However, Dusk Bringer was not hit. On the contrary, the smile on her lips only grew darker..
“You fight tenaciously, knight! As if I were in a battlefield rather than a martial arts competition.!”
“…….”
“How about having a little more fun? This is not a battlefield, but the center of a festival. Let's laugh and have fun!”
“Shut your mouth.”
After exchanging attacks and defenses about a dozen times without being able to breathe,.
Lucas breathed heavily and spoke to Dusk Bringer, who was standing calmly and weakly..
“I am… … Must prove useful.”
“Hmm?”
“That I am the only one here on the front line... … We must prove in this martial arts competition that we are needed by our lord..”
Lucas' bright blue eyes burned with terrifying murderous intent..
“Don't disturb me and fall quietly, evil dragon.……!”
“……Ah, I see..”
Dusk Bringer, who was looking at Lucas quietly, chuckled..
“You were abandoned once before.?”
“……!”
“That's why I'm struggling to avoid being hated by my owner.?”
Lucas' shoulders stiffened..
Dusk Bringer held his stomach and laughed loudly..
“Ahaha! It's cute, it's cute! How are all knights so similar! Just like my knights, you are like a puppy that only looks at its owner.!”
Dusk Bringer laughed heartily and wiped away the tears from his eyes.,
“Ah, this is why.”
I laughed brightly.
“……I like cats better.”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The next moment, Dusk Bringer's small fist rushed in like a thunderbolt and landed on Lucas' guard..
Even though I defended myself faithfully with my guard, I was unable to offset the damage..
Lucas vomited blood, bounced across the floor of the gym like a water swallow, and landed at the edge of the gym..
“Wouldn’t it be fun to raise a loyal dog if it has a spicy taste?.”
Dusk Bringer lightly shook off his fist and turned around with a shrug..
“Well, if you knew how to push and pull like that, you wouldn't be a dog anymore..”
Dusk Bringer, who was confident that the game would be won, walked slowly and tried to leave the training ground.,
“……?”
I realized something was wrong and looked back..
“Whoo, whoo, whoo……!”
Lucas was slowly getting up..
Between the disheveled blonde hair, bright blue eyes twinkled like flames. A cloud of steam came out from behind my back..
Lee Chae flashed in Dusk Bringer’s eyes..
“The power of the beast... … ? This and this, with a face like a gentleman. You're raising an animal inside..”
“…….”
But Lucas took the beast's power into himself..
The steam gushing out from behind my back disappeared, and my heated eyes became cold..
Lastly, I neatly swept back my messy hair..
Standing on the training ground again was Lucas, a well-established knight. Dusk Bringer frowned..
“What is it, you are not unleashing the power of the beast??”
“Because my lord told me not to use it.”
Lucas spoke in a calm tone..
“It’s as you said, evil dragon. I was abandoned once, a long time ago.”
“Hmm. It's a dog with a lot of injuries.?”
“So I don't want to be abandoned again.”
Slowly he raised his guard again and Lucas chewed and spat it out..
“So, I no longer use the power of the beast. I will defeat you with only my two fists and be acknowledged by my lord..”
“…….”
Dusk Bringer slowly looked Lucas up and down, smirking, and raised the corners of his mouth..
“How about coming under my command, knight? I will let you use Lee Hyung’s powers to your heart’s content. I'll give you the ability to control it too.”
Lucas's eyebrows furrowed. Dusk Bringer continued..
“The reason you can't use the power of the beast properly is because you don't have control..”
The beast people also use the power of beasts, but they are not very conscious of the risk of becoming a beast..
Because the beastmen are born with the blood of beasts, that blood actually acts as a reference point and a brake, preventing beast transformation beyond a certain level..
Even if it progresses, it will eventually return to the baseline..
However, those who have tried their hand at becoming a beast with a human body do not have such a reference point or factor that can be used as a brake..
In the end, he is eaten by the power of a wild beast that runs wild without brakes..
The power of having all ‘propensity values’ is the same, not only for beast formation..
If you try to control it without a factor, it will eventually run away and be destroyed..
“You seem to have talent, so I am willing to share a little of my ‘dragon blood’ with you..”
dragon's blood).
Dusk Bringer's legacy from her ancestors, and the dragon's signature that she bestows on her knights..
“The power of the beast is pretty good, but the power of the dragon is even better. you won't regret it.”
“…….”
“You will be able to become several times stronger than you are now. How is it??”
Lucas has also heard the rumors..
berserker of the west.
The strongest knights of the Bringer Principality who are endowed with dragon blood and use the power of dragons. Slaughter tanks that are said to be capable of killing a hundred per day..
“What on earth have you been listening to me until now??”
However, Lucas laughed coldly..
“I am trying to become strong in order to be accepted by my master. No matter how strong I become under you, what does it mean? I will refuse..”
“Hmm... … It's a shame.”
“I am my lord's bodyguard. therefore.”
Lucas chewed fiercely and spat it out..
“1st prize in martial arts competition... … The opportunity to become your master's knight is mine too..”
“huh?”
“Do you think I'll give it to you, you evil dragon?……!”
Dusk Bringer, who was dazed for a moment, stammered urgently and asked,.
“No, wait, what? What did the first place product say??”
“……? 1The others are appointed as knights under the lord. That's a product…….”
“uh? Huh? Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
Cold sweat trickled down Dusk Bringer's thin chin..
“Then Gwain shouldn’t be first.?!”
“……?”
“No, Gwaine is Dusk Bringer! The Archduke, the Archduke! There's no way I would voluntarily go under the southern front, right?!”
“…….”
“No, it was just a martial arts competition and it looked fun, so I jumped in without even looking at the product list! What kind of top product is that??!”
Dusk Bringer was confused and didn't know what to do..
“Then, just give me orders, Grand Duke, and you will be fine.……!”
Lucas, with his eyes flashing fiercely, rushed forward at once and threw a punch at Dusk Bringer..
“victory is mine-!”
