Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 335
◈ 335. [STAGE 14] Dogs on the wire (3)
Red blood drops scattered on the white snow field.
“Huh! Heo Eok!”
The back alleys of Crossroads.
Lucas gasped heavily and adjusted his grip on his sword..
Five special forces members were lying down in front of him. Only Mason was barely holding on with his sword on the floor..
The special forces were numerous and strong, but Lucas' talent and capabilities were superior..
“Hehe, as expected, the real McGregor is different..”
Mason muttered as he pressed his hand to the long sword on his chest..
“Even so, even though they are selected agents from the most elite team, they cannot defeat you alone.…….”
“Stick your neck out, Mason..”
Compared to the fatally wounded special forces members, Lucas was fine except for a few minor injuries..
Holding his sword forward, Lucas growled fiercely..
“I'll put an end to it.”
“……I'm sorry, master. I don't think that will happen.”
After saying that, Mason took something out of his pocket..
“His Majesty Fernández gave me strength..”
“what?”
“A truly destructive force that cannot be approached through swordsmanship training.……!”
In Mason's hand was a small syringe with bright blue contents..
“That couldn't be it…….”
Lucas widened his eyes after recognizing its identity..
“beastification serum?”
“You have also used it before.?”
Smirking, Mason put the tip of the syringe to the side of his neck..
“This is a finished version that is much improved over the poor experimental samples of the time..”
“It's a finished version?”
“That's right. The completed serum was created by extracting and combining only the pure beast nature from all types of beastmen... … ! His Majesty Fernández gave it only to selected agents. Although the effect is somewhat volatile, it is sufficiently powerful..”
Lucas shrugged his shoulders and gritted his teeth..
“To make that serum, how many prisoners were sacrificed?……?”
“Well, what do you know?.”
Mason grinned wickedly and shoved the syringe down his own throat..
“As long as the performance is good, that's enough.!”
deeply!
The serum contained in the syringe was sucked into Mason's body..
“Haaaa…….”
Protruding blood vessels starting from the neck bulged and rose along the entire body, muscles expanded, steam rose from the area where the wound had been inflicted, and the wound healed..
Mason grinned with a face full of red blood vessels. I saw sharp fangs like those of an animal..
“Right. Is this the feeling of giving up on humanity?.”
“…….”
“The more you throw it away, the stronger it becomes. Isn't humanity really funny??”
Going to school-!
Mason hit the ground and immediately rushed in front of Lucas. It was a speed that was incomparable to anything before..
Kaaaang!
Mason's great sword fiercely ripped through the air, and Lucas barely managed to block the sword, but he stumbled and almost fell..
‘What unbelievable power……!’
The sword strike was much heavier than before..
Mason's already huge physique grew even more, to the point where he almost looked like a medium-sized monster..
He was quickly stabbing a huge sword like it was a dagger..
Lucas managed to get his bearings by parrying Mason's sword strike..
‘Both strength and speed are much better! As it is…….’
Lucas had a very easy way to catch up with Mason..
beast shoes.
All Lucas needs to do is abandon his humanity and rely on his animal instincts..
Haven't we been able to overcome many crises thanks to that beast-like skills?.
This time too, you only need to be liberated for a moment. Then we can kill this damn traitor in one fell swoop and go rescue Ash.…….
- I told you not to wear beast shoes.
Suddenly Ash's voice passed by my ears..
“……!”
Lucas gritted his teeth..
Yes, didn't you promise? I will never wear beast shoes again.
I didn't want to break my trust with Ash. I wanted to keep this promise even if it meant giving up my life..
If so, what is the means to deal with Mason now?-
‘There is one.’
[full body descent].
Lucas' ultimate skill provides a huge stat buff and strengthens other existing skills..
A golden aura exploded behind Lucas, who closed and opened his eyes..
Wow!-!
The golden aura that extended behind his back eventually enveloped Lucas' entire body..
In the pouring snow, Lucas was emitting light on his own like a lamp..
“after.”
Letting out a light breath, Lucas shot forward like a cannonball..
visor! Cheaeng! Tsukaak-!
[[Full body descent] applied, Lucas began exchanging swords with Mason on equal terms again. No, on the contrary, it started to overwhelm me..
Sigh! Phuwak……!
Blood spurted out from all over Mason's body where the sword passed by..
“Crunch……?!”
Mason was embarrassed, frowning and groaning like an animal..
‘can finish!’
A halo of light gathered around Lucas' sword..
[The [Strike of Will] performed in the [Full body descent] state is converted into a wide-area attack. It would be possible to rip Mason's whole body to shreds with a single sword..
While exchanging swordplay, Mason's lower defense was suddenly empty. Lucas opened his eyes wide..
‘It's now!’
Lucas's long sword was raised from below to above with tremendous power. Mason, sensing that his defense was slow, gritted his teeth..
It was then.
Something caught Lucas' eyes..
“……!”
At the bottom of the wall against which Mason stood, there was a small semi-basement window..
A child was looking this way through the semi-basement window..
It seemed like he was a kid who lived in the alley here..
And it was clear that if Lucas swung his sword like this, [Strike of Will], which had been converted to a wide-range attack, would sweep away the wall, the semi-basement room, and even that child..
For a moment, Lucas hesitated..
“……Pfft!”
And, in the next moment, he desperately twisted the sword path..
Took bang-!
Lucas' long sword suddenly changed its trajectory and struck the empty air..
And as Mason watched this scene, the corners of his mouth turned up viciously..
“Hi, our cute Master Lucas.…….”
The great sword in Mason's hand was cut roughly horizontally..
“If you have such a soft heart, why did you grab the sword in the first place?-!”
Took bang-!
“Big black?!”
Clean hit properly.
The greatsword struck Lucas directly through his empty guard and into his breastplate..
Fortunately, the golden aura of [Full Body Advent] offset the damage from the sword strike, so although the breastplate exploded, it did not result in a fatal wound..
Instead, the golden aura flew away, and the duration of [Full Body Descent] became shorter..
Lucas became impatient and urgently took a step forward and made a desperate thrust.,
“-waited for this.”
Mason used the secret technique he had prepared..
Tsukagagak-!
The Mason's greatsword had one edge with a zigzag groove like a sawtooth..
After receiving Lucas' stab in that direction, he snatched Lucas' blade as if he were clipping it - and with a lot of magical power, he spun the great sword in a spiral..
Mason's natural strength and skills honed throughout his life, a great sword with a massive weight and unique structure, and using the power of the opponent's attack as a counter.-
It was [Weapon Break], a weapon destruction technique that could be said to be Mason's ultimate skill..
It was a secret skill that had never been shown during his time in the McGregor family, so Lucas suffered it..
Hehehe-
[Karma Eater], whose durability was suddenly reduced, made an ominous sound.,
Clang-!
It was completely shattered..
There was only one outcome, either you would lose the sword the moment it was snatched, or you would hold on without letting go and the sword would break..
Mason had been waiting for the moment for Lucas to strike, and Lucas had been rewarded with a handsome blow..
“…….”
[The duration of [Full Body Descent] ended and the golden aura was lost, and Lucas looked down at his empty hands..
Pieces of the broken blade were falling to the floor..
“therefore.”
With a purring voice, Mason whispered softly into Lucas' ear..
“This is what happens because you keep pretending to be human, young master..”
“…….”
“Dogs have a way of life that suits them..”
Afterwards, Mason's great sword was struck without mercy..
Phuwak-!
Blood poured out like a fountain from Lucas' chest, which was pierced by a sword strike..
***
“hmm?”
When I opened my eyes, it was a bit cold for some reason..
That's strange. I put a lot of firewood in the fireplace and fell asleep. Did I sleep so long that the stove turned off?.
I tried to stretch out my hand to check the stove, but it felt like my arms were tied tightly and I couldn't move..
Even if I blinked, I couldn't see what was covering my face. What is this, an envelope??
As soon as I woke up, it became clear. I'm sitting on a chair in a cold room with a bag over my face and my arms tied behind my back. What's this.
‘It's too real to be a dream.’
When I bit my cheek, I felt a tingling pain. There's no way you can have a dream this realistic, so it's definitely reality..
‘When I woke up, I was kidnapped.…….’
I was amazed at my own indifference or ability to sleep well. How deeply was I asleep?.
“Hey kidnapper friends, I woke up.~?”
I just flinched for a moment and was so frustrated that I couldn't see anything, so I just shouted out loud..
“I'm frustrated. Please take off this bread bag. And since it was cold, I wrapped him in a blanket. Would you mind turning on the stove too? Would you please explain why you are doing this? hello? can you hear me?”
I acted calmly because I guessed that the people who kidnapped me had no intention of killing me..
If they were going to kill him, they would have killed him a long time ago and not brought him in and tied him up like this..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
As if my guess was correct, someone's footsteps got closer and a polite voice was heard..
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash. Please be quiet for a little while..”
“who?”
“……We are the Aegis Special Task Force..”
I clicked my tongue inwardly. Are they these damn bastards again?.
Looking at it, it looks like they kidnapped me while all their troops escaped to the south during the defensive war..
I was so dizzy from the pain that I couldn't think about this.…….
“We just want to do the job we've been given. If you cooperate, you won't get hurt..”
“how can i believe that?”
“……Our captain will be back soon. He's the captain and he'll explain everything..”
When you say captain, do you mean Mason, who was imprisoned a few days ago? The fact that he's here means he broke out of jail?
I clicked my tongue. I can't help but have a bad feeling…….
The footsteps became distant again. I sighed and leaned against the back of the chair..
‘Let's see, what's the condition?…….’
It's still not good. Sleepy and dazed. I guess I'm trapped with some special equipment, so I can't even use my magic power..
‘Items and means that can be used?’
Since both hands are trapped, the inventory is also sealed. Since the magic power is completely blocked, it is impossible to summon a captured monster..
Moreover, the opponents are trained agents. If you attack clumsily, you will be quickly overpowered..
It's an external channel in one way or another. What is it?……?
“……majesty.”
At that time, I heard a small whisper from behind..
“Are you okay??”
It was a familiar voice. I flinched and looked back..
“……God Hand?”
“Shh. You can't look here..”
Yikes. I fixed my gaze forward again..
Godhand continued speaking in a low voice..
“Since you can't see, let me explain what's going on..”
“…….”
“This is a cabin in an abandoned village north of Crossroads. Your Majesty is tied up in a room at the northern end of the first floor, and I am hiding outside the window and speaking to you through a crack in the window..”
The three members of the shadow unit were organized by me as a counterintelligence unit and operated separately..
So, instead of participating in this defense battle, they stood separate guard in case the Aigis Special Forces attacked further..
Thanks to you, I think I was able to respond to my kidnapping..
“They were disguised as merchants, citizens, refugees, etc., then suddenly gathered together, attacked the mansion, kidnapped His Highness, and brought him here..”
“…….”
“There were too many people, and there were only three of us, so we couldn't rush to suppress them and just assessed the situation. Please forgive me.”
No, man. good job. Do you know how relieved I am now that I have you at least??
“We've located their location and confirmed their numbers, so we'll be bringing reinforcements soon. Please wait a little longer calmly…….”
After saying that, God Hand's voice suddenly cut off.,
“Big black?!”
Craddangtang! Kwasik!
Along with Godhand's brief scream, the sounds of weapons swinging, something breaking, and someone falling to the ground were heard..
“……God Hand?”
I whispered softly, but there was no answer.
“Hey Godhand. are you okay?”
still, no answer.
“God Hand……?”
Are you okay? uh?
