I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 341
◈ 341. [STAGE 14] King & Knight (3)
Life is a series of regrets.
At least it was that way for Lucas..
Betraying Ash.
What caused Dustia's death.
The beautiful young days that were beautiful like flowers, but were shattered by one's own mistake..
I spent every night regretful, pondering and ruminating on irreversible decisions and irreversible mistakes..
I shouldn't have done that then..
I shouldn't have done that then..
Then, don't do that.…….
Lucas' life is full of regrets..
He was a man who always looked at the remnants of the past..
***
visor! Cheaeng! Tsukaang-!
Lucas' sword, made of light, struck a series of slashes, leaving a clear trajectory..
“Pfft!”
Mason gritted his teeth, groaned, and struck down his greatsword..
After getting a new sword, Lucas' combat power increased dramatically. His sword strikes became lighter, and his power was amplified..
While Mason's greatsword's blade was worn and its durability was consumed every time the blade came into contact with the blade, Lucas' sword of light seemed to not flinch..
Going to school-!
no… … no.
It wasn't just that he didn't flinch, he was getting stronger..
The light and heat emanating from Lucas' sword became stronger. Mason, who barely managed to block Lucas' light horizontal slash, fell backwards..
‘How did you become so strong? Just because I changed one knife?’
Or, what is it?.
Did you really get it in your heart??
Mason gritted his teeth and took out a beast transformation serum from his pocket..
I was well aware of the warning that using it twice a day was suicidal, but there was nothing I could do about it now..
“You'd better quit.”
Lucas quietly stopped Mason as he put the tip of the serum syringe to his neck..
“I’ve also used Beast Sneakers quite a bit. And there was a time when I came right before the line..”
“…….”
“I guarantee you, if you cross that 'line', nothing good will happen..”
“Hehe. Are you worried now??”
Mason let out a laugh and quickly shoved the tip of the syringe into his throat..
“Anyway, you die this way, you die that way, it's a different world.-!”
All the serum went into Mason's throat..
Crunchy, crunchy……!
Mason, who was already growing, became even bigger..
The two eyes turned red and bloodshot, the fingernails grew, and the fangs stood out like those of a carnivorous animal. Her skeleton and muscles grew thicker..
“Haaaa……!”
Mason's appearance, breathing heavily, was already beyond that of a human being. It was close to a strange beast..
“……Okay, so it goes like this. I understand that my master stopped me..”
Standing in front of Mason with a calm face, Lucas muttered softly..
“You look like a rabid wild dog, Mason.?”
“I like it?”
Mason jumped out of his seat and rushed at Lucas at terrifying speed..
“Because this is our essence-!”
Took bang!
Mason's great sword cornered Lucas. Even though he was helplessly pushed away, Lucas answered calmly..
“‘I wish you would stop using the word ‘we’. Because I'm no longer a stray dog.”
“gibberish! We were born as dogs, raised as dogs, and destined to die as dogs.!”
bang! Quang! Quaguagwang!
Mason roared, swinging his huge greatsword as lightly as a leaf..
“Biting someone to death as ordered by someone higher up! That's what a knight is.!”
“i will quit it.”
“what?”
“I will no longer just mindlessly follow what I am told..”
Tukan!
The blade of light lightly thrown upward by Lucas threw Mason's greatsword back..
Looking at Mason's shocked face, Lucas repeated slowly..
“I think, I judge, I decide - I will follow in his footsteps..”
Lucas was reminiscing about the time he saved a boy in a back alley a little while ago..
Kill monsters, save people-
okay.
I think I understand the cause a little bit now..
“I am not a dog, I am a human. So I will raise my sword with my own will.”
“……Haha, really.”
Mason, who was laughing, adjusted his grip on the great sword and struck again..
“You're saying things that most knights shouldn't, my master.-!”
A sword fight ensues..
Lucas, who brought a new sword, and Mason, who was hit with the second beast transformation serum, are completely in the middle ages..
But the fight that seemed like it would never end suddenly came to an end..
Lucas, who was carrying out a sword attack, stabbed Mason with a series of moves he had become accustomed to..
“Hahaha! Looks like you don't learn anything from the past, master.!”
Mason, with his eyes wide open, grinned as he received Lucas's thrust as if he had been waiting..
“You're stabbing me again!”
A Mason's greatsword has one edge that has zigzag grooves like serrated teeth..
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..
Weapon destruction, which can be said to be Mason's ultimate skill.,
[Weapon Break]!
Hehehe……!
Awesome technology was put into it.
Lucas' sword of light caught between the saw blades made an ominous sound.,
Clang-!
Eventually, it fell into pieces..
The beautiful blade that had been emitting heat and light in all directions was broken and scattered ungainly..
Mason laughed at Lucas, who stood still holding the broken sword..
“Puhahaha! Repeating the same mistake! How stupid! Okay, so what?…….”
“are you okay.”
“what?”
“It's okay.”
For some reason, Lucas was smiling.
“Even if you fail, make mistakes, and mess up… … It's okay.”
“……?”
“My lord taught me that no matter where I wander, it's okay as long as I come back..”
Again and again and again. Just as my lord trusted me.
Again and again and again. Reforge the broken blade.
Sigh.……!
The blade of light that was broken and scattered on the floor slowly rises into the air..
A new blade of light was formed in the empty air above the handle, and the light particles scattered on the floor were combined to create an even stronger flame..
“this… … what…….”
Mason opened his mouth wide as he looked at the blade of light that was restored in an instant..
Lucas smiled bitterly as he looked down at his sword that flickered like a flame..
“……Why did I only find out this simple answer now?.”
If it breaks, you can put it back together..
Even though things may never be the same as before.
Even if there are more things that can never be undone,.
Still, if you try, struggle, and struggle,-
Even if you look patchy, you can stand up again..
Why did he give up everything and just look at the fragmented landscape from afar?.
“……No, no more regrets.”
Lucas started walking forward, clutching the long sword of light with both hands..
“I will move forward beyond you, Mason..”
Life is a series of regrets.
“No matter how many times this sword is broken, I will forge it again, and no matter where I wander in the world, I will return under the banner of this front..”
And life is,
It is also a process of overcoming that regret..
“……Because I decided to do it..”
Lucas' blue gaze... … For the first time, I am completely free from the remnants of the past..
Mason noticed. He realized that Lucas' eyes staring at him were not actually looking at him..
Beyond yourself - looking behind you.
“Where are you looking?……?”
Mason gritted his teeth and curled up..
“I'm not your past…….”
Going to school-!
Mason hit the ground and fell on Lucas' body with terrifying force..
“I am your future! It's your final road.-!”
Then Lucas smiled and,
“Could it be so??”
The blade of light was raised from bottom to top..
It was a perfect counter, a combination of a single step of persistence and a strike of will..
Wow-!
Mason's great sword, which could not withstand the explosion of light, was broken in two..
And Mason's huge beastly body also split upwards and downwards..
***
I came to my senses unexpectedly quickly..
Since I used my ultimate, I thought I would run out of mana again and cause trouble, but that didn't happen..
This was because the blood vessels in my entire body became hot as if I had been placed on an electric heating mat, supplying magical power..
‘Is this the power of Dragon Heart?……?’
I guess it's the effect of the dragon heart that Moo-myeong said he fed me..
I roughly took the image of the dragon heart that was supposedly spread inside my body as something similar to electric jade. It's nice and warm.
When I woke up, the situation was already being sorted out. Fortunately, there were no casualties on our side, and all members of the special task force were killed or captured..
“You are awake, Your Majesty. I will report it and post it.”
Godhand came to me with a pale complexion and informed me of the situation..
Today, he was hit with swords and arrows and ran around all day. This guy is no ordinary hardship..
“Of the 10 Aegis Task Force members who infiltrated this base camp, we killed seven and captured three. Including the casualties remaining at Crossroads, out of a total of 20 members of the task force, 16 were killed and 4 were captured..”
“Everyone had a hard time.”
“We are currently interrogating those we captured to see if there are any other spies. Results will be available soon.”
Godhand grinned..
“Your Majesty's use of the magic wall was amazing. I was able to kill them all in one go..”
“I'm sorry for forcing you to do something unreasonable. You all were in danger because of me..”
“no. In the end, everything worked out well, right? Sir Lucas is safe too..”
By the time God Hand finished his report, the base camp gate flashed! Then Lily appeared in a wheelchair..
Lily is dispatched to the forward base to manage artifacts during this defense war. Because it is snowing heavily, the artifact may cause minor damage..
But looking back, it looks like the defense of the forward base is almost over..
“God Hand!”
Lily let out a scream and hurriedly dragged the wheelchair to Godhand. Lily cried out in a trembling voice as she inspected the God Hand's injured body..
“To be hurt like this... … ! Who is it? What kind of guy does this!”
“Ah, so that's it…….”
“I will roast everyone who touches you! all right? Hurry up and say it! who bullied you!”
……Why do you sound like you're criticizing your younger brother who got beaten up at school?.
I quietly left the room, leaving God Hand in a cold sweat and struggling..
As the commander who messed up the kids, I feel some responsibility, so I have to run away quickly.…….
I found and praised each and every person who helped with this operation..
Body bag and burnout are caused by exhaustion..
In particular, Burnout seems to be breathing fire, causing burns to the mouth and esophagus. You had a hard time. Go and rest.
Verdandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Party. Even though I asked for help out of the blue, he joined the war without a word. I decided to bring him plenty of sunflower seeds..
Margerita and the reserve party. We mobilized in a hurry, but it did its job..
Margerita is still busy turning her back on the injured. I will put a generous donation to the temple later..
And Elise saw something..
“Hmm, this weapon is fine, this weapon is also…….”
“…….”
Befitting his nickname of funeral inspector, he is examining the weapons of dead special forces members. Even if I capture one or two points, I'll just turn a blind eye to that.…….
Finally, Lucas.
I raised my head and looked around to see where he was, but Kelly Bay, standing over there, motioned towards me..
“Hey, little prince. this way.”
Our magic blacksmith completed the weapon on time. I smiled brightly and walked over to Kelly Bay's side, and she pointed towards the corner of her base camp..
“I'd like to hear your review of the masterpiece I created. Can you ask me a question instead??”
When I looked there, I saw Lucas standing alone and silently..
In front of Mason’s body lying in a sea of blood. quietly.
