Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 287

◈ 287. [Side Story] Martial Arts Competition (4)

To tell you the conclusion.

Lucas collapsed.…….

I tried to drag it into a long fight, but in the end, I was completely hit by three consecutive finger snaps of Dusk Bringer's full power..

I lost consciousness and was knocked down. I covered my face with both hands out of sadness. oh my…….

From the beginning, it was ridiculous to hope to win against a half-human, half-dragon in a battle based on pure physical specifications..

“Whoo, whoo…….”

Dusk Bringer, who was standing in front of the unconscious Lucas and gasping for breath, suddenly came to his senses..

“Didn't you win this?…….”

Dusk Bringer shouted, pointing at the fallen Lucas..

“Because you are so cruel! Didn’t I win without even realizing it?!”

……what? Is this a new concept of deception??

It was absurd, but you have to follow the principles when doing business. I waved my hand sideways..

“It's late, so let's deal with it quickly. Hold the awards ceremony!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The priests took Lucas, who fainted, to be treated, and I caught Dusk Bringer, who was whining, and put him down..

A podium was set up on the training ground..

3Serenade was in charge of awarding the first to eighth places. Since you are the sponsor of this competition, you could say it is natural..

“Hello, this is Serenade on the top of Winter Silver..”

As Serenade stood on the podium and spoke with a bright smile, cheers and applause poured in from the audience..

“Winter Silver! winter silver!”

“serenade! serenade!”

“Wow! sister! You got me!”

“Please buy it too! I'll give it to you for free.-!”

……It's popular. No, you're not better than me?

I watched the awards ceremony with a strange feeling, feeling both proud that Serenade had prepared well for this festival and feeling a little jealous when I saw the citizens going crazy about Serenade. Umm.

3Prizes for first to eighth places had already been awarded as soon as the results were announced, but Serenade still prepared separate plaques and handed them out to the participants..

“Products disappear quickly, but awards remain with memories for a long time..”

As I watched the back of Evangeline happily accepting the award, Serenade whispered softly in my ear..

“As a courtesy, we also have our names engraved on the plaque. Hehehe.”

“Ah, indeed…….”

The winner feels good, the sponsor is condescending, and you kill two birds with one stone..

As we were having this conversation, it was time to award trophies to the finalists. As the lord, it is my responsibility to award these two..

When I got up on the podium and the serenade went down, the audience let out an exclamation of disappointment. These bastards! Please applaud and cheer for me too.!

First of all, the second place prize. Since Lucas fainted, Evangeline received the award on his behalf. Evangeline laughed loudly while holding the 2nd place and 3rd place awards in both hands..

“A plaque in both hands! The winner of this festival is me-!”

“Go down, go down.”

The citizens burst into laughter as they saw Evangeline fussing. I quickly pushed him down..

And the long-awaited winner.

I cleared my throat and declared, looking down at Dusk Bringer standing trembling in front of me..

“The honorable winner of this year's martial arts competition is none other than this warrior, Dusk.!”

“…….”

“The winner will be awarded the title of honorary knight of the martial arts competition, and will be given the honor of being appointed as a knight by the lord, Ash 'Bornhater' Everblack..”

When I took out the ceremonial sword for ordination as a knight, Dusk Bringer backed away in disgust..

“Poetry, I hate it! I don’t want to take it! I don't want to be your knight! I don't like it!”

“Then you can pretend I lost?”

That's what I hope too. I want to turn the game around?

Then Dusk Bringer was in pain, tearing out his head..

“Well, I hate that even more! I hate losing more than dying.!”

“Then you should get it. Come on, come on.”

“Wow!!”

In the end, Dusk Bringer had to calmly kneel down in front of me and endure the process of having the ceremonial sword placed on both of his shoulders and over his head..

“……With this, Dusk became an honorary knight of the Crossroads. Do you pledge to dedicate the rest of your life to the peace and well-being of the city??”

“Big, big.”

“Hey, the ceremony won’t end if you don’t swear, Mr. Akryong. It's just a formality, so let's get it over with quickly..”

“Trading…….”

Dusk Bringer closed his eyes tightly..

“I swear…….”

Finally, after making an oath,.

Dusk Bringer looked up at me, trembling, with a bright red face. There are even tears in my amber eyes..

“I have never taken an oath of investiture even to an emperor... … ! How can you bring such shame to Gwain... … I won't forget you, Ash.…….”

“No, it's a shame you brought upon yourself.…….”

You swept up all the martial arts competitions just to get this humiliation.…….

I snorted. So, it is not a proper ordination as a true knight, but rather an honorary knight position at an event-type martial arts competition. There would be no reason to disassemble it like that..

When I handed over the first place trophy made of shiny glass, Dusk Bringer, who quickly took it in his arms, pointed at me and ran down the podium..

“We'll see! I will definitely repay you for this humiliation.!”

Is it trendy these days to leave the house saying third-rate villain lines like that? I see it often.

Anyway, this is the end of the martial arts competition..

As the finals ended, the spectators who had been leaving slowly disappeared, and the barracks quickly became deserted..

I had a bitter taste in my mouth as I looked at the bracket posted on one wall..

“Oh my, it's been devastated…….”

In the end, they could not stop Dusk Bringer from winning. All my party members who blocked her path fell miserably..

“…….”

I turned my head for a moment and saw the party members having fun eating festival food and snacks while accepting the plaque..

Terrible... … Umm. I feel like my heart is miserable…….

“Don't be too sad, senior..”

Evangeline came next to me and comforted me. Excitedly waving the plaque in both her hands.

“A martial arts competition and a battlefield will be different.!”

“…….”

That's right.

This side did not bring out Damian and Junior, who are the most powerful and jokers..

5If we go into a vs. 5 party battle, we'll be able to show our true skills..

‘That's it. Dusk Bringer's specs are absolutely ridiculous.…….’

It is clearly not efficient and consumes quickly..

However, the durability and magical power of the base body are at a level that makes no sense in the first place..

To the point where I wonder if I can exhaust it all in just one or two days of fighting..

‘I need to reexamine my PVP tactics..’

That's what I'm thinking,

“Juguuuun!”

Lucas woke up from a faint and immediately ran over to me, knelt down in front of me, and put his head on the ground..

“Please kill me-!”

Oh my, I knew it would be like this.

I smiled bitterly and patted Lucas on the shoulder..

“Good fight, Lucas. Don't do that, get up.”

“is it so! mister! You fought the best, but if you ask me to kill you, what will happen to me??”

Evangeline also helped comfort Lucas..

“Hey, here's the second place trophy! And the right to produce a full set of equipment! Wow, honestly, I think this is much better than the first place product.?”

“…….”

Lucas accepted the second place plaque and gift certificate given to him by Evangeline and looked at him silently..

“……right.”

“right?”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

He started making noises like a bear.……?

Lucas makes a sad sound. Evangeline, who was watching Lucas with wide eyes, muttered..

“Oh, I'm crying.”

I was scared and broke into a cold sweat..

“uh? This is crying?”

“You look like you're crying? look! These eyes full of sadness! oh! Tears start to come out too-!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

Following Evangeline's live broadcast, Lucas sat down on the floor with a lost face and roared sadly. No, are you really crying?!

“I just want to hear praise from my lord. I just worked hard…….”

Lucas made an expression of frustration at the world and pounded his chest..

“But I got slapped for wearing beast shoes. After that, he was not allowed to continue escorting me. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

“No, I slapped you because I was worried about you... … The reason I didn't let you escort me was because your injuries were less well healed.…….”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

Lucas wailed, hitting his chest and now the ground..

“So, the plan was to naturally reconcile by winning first place and receiving an honorary knighthood. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I lost. Everything is ruined. It's all ruined…….”

I broke into a cold sweat..

I am very embarrassed to see a child who was as strong as steel cry so sadly(?). Well, what is it? what should i do?

At that time, Evangeline poked my side..

“What are you doing, senior? Uncle Lucas is crying! apologize quickly!”

“uh? i should apologize?”

“Why did you hit him like that? I'm old enough to listen even if I say it!”

No, it's not like that... … Yes, I'm twenty-two, so I'm not old enough to be physically punished... … No, corporal punishment should not be used regardless of age. That's right, but…….

“Not as a lord or commander, but as a close friend! Please apologize first!”

“Ugh, uhm.”

“Now, follow along. sorry!”

I followed Evangeline and opened my mouth..

sorry… … Sorry... … sorry… … mi… … . mi…….

“You crazy guy, you wrote the beast shoes first.!”

“Oh, kinda! really!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

When I screamed, Evangeline hit her forehead, and Lucas started crying even more sadly..

***

“I'm sorry for showing you such disgrace, my lord.…….”

Lucas apologized, sniffling. I waved my hand..

“It's okay, man. I was really sorry for overdoing it that time. I didn't even think about hitting you..”

“Sniff… … no. Because I was the first to do what you forbid.…….”

Manor house. drawing room.

For the first time in a while, all five members of the main party gathered together to eat dinner and have refreshments and drinks..

Lucas and I succeeded in reconciling dramatically(?). This is the result of Evangeline comforting and comforting him..

“Because you are sometimes stuck in strange areas. Because you are the commander, you are reluctant to apologize first..”

Evangeline tilted her head as she sucked some juice through a straw. I replied, sipping from a glass of cold whiskey..

“hey. I punished you within the military system, so what would happen if I apologized first??”

“What's wrong with the shape? Reconciliation between friends comes first. They say you'll regret it later if you follow the formalities like that.?”

Anyway, I acknowledge Lucas' contribution in the last battle and offset the mistake of becoming a beast with it..

For the excessive punishment, I personally, not the frontline commander, apologized to Lucas. It was complicated, but how was it possible to suture the quarrel between us?.

Damien, who was looking at us in turns, smiled awkwardly and asked.

“Well, then we can all play together tomorrow??”

“I think tomorrow will be really fun…….”

Junior spoke next to Damien..

Junior, who received Hwangdosan herb from the Winter Silver team, pressed it into a bear bag and puffed out a puff of smoke..

“I heard that the last day is a dance festival. I think there will be a lot of fun things to do. They say His Majesty will also participate.……?”

Oh, right. Tomorrow is a dance festival…….

I was half-forced to participate, so I held my dizzy forehead and drank the rest of the drink. Now do I have to dance in front of everyone?!

Leaving me alone, the rest of the party members started discussing what they would do tomorrow. Do whatever you want…….

‘huh?’

At that time, I raised my head and looked at the window, and my eyebrows narrowed..

Is it an illusion? I think I see something whitish outside the window..

I got up from the sofa, walked over to the window, and opened it.,

“Heyit?!”

Found Dusk Bringer standing pitifully. When I stick my head out, my shoulders shake in shock..

No, why are you here? I asked, breaking into a cold sweat..

“……What are you doing here??”

Dusk Bringer was standing close to the living room window, watching the five of us eat snacks and drinks..

No, I'm not some kind of match girl. Why are you playing a prankster, peeping out the window of someone else's happy house on Christmas day?!
