Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 392
◈ 392. [Side Story] Sleeping with the Enemy (3)
After defeating all frost giant legions.
“Fuck you.”
After gathering suitably usable bags and clothes from the collapsed palace,.
Without any regrets and without looking back, I headed towards the darkness on the other side of the Lake Kingdom, but Salome followed me from behind, freaking out..
《Wait, where are you going??!》
“Where are you going? I have to go home.”
It's a long road, though. So, we should leave quickly. Our children, with their necks bent, wait for you, lord..
Then Salome pointed to herself with her index finger..
《what about me?!》
“No, why don't you sleep…….”
Now, let's all take care of ourselves, right? Please pray for your return to paradise..
When I waved my hand, Salome whined with a tearful face..
《He said he would ally with me!》
“That show just ended.”
You just finished off our common enemy a little while ago..
At least for the time being, I decided to step down and not kill him because of my temporary alliance with him. thank you.
When I waved my hand once more and coolly turned around, Salome grabbed my waist and lay down on the floor. Hey, what are you doing?!
《They just want to use me, suck the sweet water out of me, and then throw it away.?!》
“Don't make a strict person a bad person.…….”
《Hit me every day! Saying harsh words! You made me spend the night in tears! But I love you like that……!》
“Don’t drift into cheap popular drama! Let it go, let it go!”
After ruthlessly shaking off Salome's arm, I walked forward..
When Salome's tearful plea strategy didn't work, she just started following me..
《Are you planning on wandering out there alone? This is the deepest part of the Lake Kingdom? There are monsters everywhere?》
“It's hard to say this with my own mouth, but I didn't eat jjambap in vain... … I can get through it just fine without you worrying..”
It's true that it's a dangerous place, but I also went to this place until I got sick of it in the game..
Since I have verified that my skills can be used, I have the means to use them..
‘I feel comfortable moving alone.’
Salome has many problems getting her act together..
First of all, he is currently being targeted by an army of other monsters. If there is an army of monsters targeting this guy and attacking him, there is a possibility that I too will get caught up in it..
Second, its mere existence is too noticeable. Look at that pink shadow bouncing around like a baby poodle. It is bound to attract attention in many ways..
It doesn't suit my tendency to quietly exit the dungeon..
Finally, the biggest problem.
‘How can you trust a monster?.’
You saved me from the other side of the world, and you love me and everything, but you never know when you'll hit me in the back..
Her essence is a dream that seduces and destroys others. She cannot be trusted even with empty words.
《Me, me! I'll listen to you carefully!》
Salome hurriedly packed some of her belongings and followed behind me, pleading..
《So, can we stay together a little longer? huh?》
“…….”
《I will fully cooperate until you get out of the dungeon! I'll move as I'm told.!》
“…….”
《We might be a good match?! The teamwork was pretty good in the battle a little while ago! A mind-controlling couple who can defeat all the monsters they encounter! how?》
They're a duo, not a couple..
It is troublesome to refute them one by one. I sighed and waved my hands..
“Then prove it.”
《proof?》
“Accept my mental control calmly. Then let me go with you..”
[Be mine!] If I make Salome my captured monster, a safety device called ‘absolute command power’ will be created..
There is no reason not to take it. Anyway, the Nightmare Commander is a powerful opponent..
However, there is no way the arrogant commander of the Nightmare Corps would voluntarily accept the offer to become a human slave.…….
《good! Good, good, really good! hurry! Please walk quickly!》
“…….”
《Can I just disarm the mental barrier? Well, it's solved now! Now capture me!》
……Is this guy serious??
As I looked at Salome in shock, I used the [Mystic Eyes of Command] and [Be mine!] combo in succession. I have to break even to break even..
“be mine!”
《yes I'll be fine!》
It’s a skill starter, so you don’t have to answer.!
And Salome actually calmly affected both skills..
A spiritual dream demon, especially the corps commander, her magic stat is not usually high, so there is no way she could be caught using normal methods..
Voluntary mid-open… … threw away the game.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Gradually!
A shape resembling a dog collar appeared in the air and bound Salome's neck. Salome yelped and tapped her dog's collar with her fingertips..
《This is what I liked! Oh my, I should have told you already! I would have guessed everything!》
“You're so stupid, you…….”
The system window is still crashing, so there's no way to check how loyal this guy is..
It would be convenient to think of it as 0, as other nightmare corps commanders have done so far. Even though we have the ‘absolute right of command,’ let’s not let go of tension..
《Hehehe. We can go together now?》
Salome came and stood next to me, smiling like an idiot..
“…….”
Don’t look like you’re a freshman at daycare going on a field trip for the first time… … I turned my head and clicked my tongue..
***
Leaving behind the collapsed Succubus Queen's palace, we emerged onto the streets of the Lake Kingdom..
10The deepest part of the area is the very center of the Lake Kingdom..
It is a collection of the tallest and busiest skyscrapers..
‘Ugh.’
As soon as I got out onto the street, I saw a tall spire not far away..
A splendid and open dark castle that constantly spews pitch-black fog..
Lake Kingdom Royal Castle.
It must have once been a place where the country's royal family lived and ruled over this huge city-state..
Now it is shrouded in complete darkness, radiating breathtaking malice..
Demon King - My opponent, called the King of Kings by monsters, will be out there..
“…….”
Suddenly, I remembered the first time I saw this castle..
Was it before Stage 3 started? When Evangeline first joins the party and Jupiter is still alive.
I looked at this place from the lake kingdom's castle wall, looking out over the entire city..
It was so far away that I had doubts about when I would be able to reach it. No matter what the process is, it's just around the corner..
I stared at the castle for a moment and then turned my head away. It's a place that can't be cleared now anyway..
But next time you come.
I will definitely tear it down. My player.
《While I'm here, I want to go see the King of Kings.?》
“don't be crazy!”
I glared at Salome, who asked with a blank expression on her face, and quickly walked away..
It's obvious that if you go there, you'll suffer worse than death.!
《it's a shame. The king of kings is a good person.…….》
Salome looked back at the castle and muttered. Every time something like this happens, I painfully realize that you are a monster.…….
“Do you understand, Salome? Now that we are moving together, we need more people..”
I said as I walked ahead.
Since you are not moving alone and have a party member anyway, it is better to have additional personnel..
“If possible, it would be good to have a strong friend to take charge of the vanguard..”
《hmm… … But I like it when it's just the two of us.》
“We're out of balance, out of balance.”
《Well, that can’t be possible! It's clear that our love luck will suit each other well.!》
“No, nothing like that... … In a combative way.”
Of course, Salome and I have the worst love luck, but our battle balance is also bad..
Both are backline wizard positions that inflict mental control on enemies. The ranges overlap.
It would be better to consider more combinations for the next number of people joining..
“As soon as you see a useful avant-garde character, you will be attracted to it.…….”
Mulkyung.
what.
I think I stepped on something just now..
Before speaking, I looked down in confusion, and immediately got scared..
10There was a huge fountain square in the center of the area, connected to a long stairway leading to the royal castle..
Below the stairs... … A strange beast had fallen..
It was a hybrid beast with a form close to a chimera that seemed to be a mixture of all kinds of beasts..
The guy was curled up at the bottom of the stairs, his entire body crushed and covered in blood, breathing weakly. I was scared and took a step back..
“What a surprise! Why is this happening here?!”
is not it? It's the deepest part of the dungeon. Wouldn't it be strange to see several monster corpses lying around??
I wanted to, but Salome also tilted her head..
《That's strange. This is the royal territory. It means the area of the King of Kings. So, it is a place that is kept clean by demonic guards.…….》
Salome's eyes widened as she raised her head and looked around..
《Oh my god, what is this??》
I looked there too. And I discovered it too late.
On the stairs leading to the royal castle, demon soldiers, including the demon gatekeeper, were lying horribly torn to pieces..
And there were traces of blood leading from the corpses of the demonic soldiers to this hybrid beast..
《This beast has his hands and feet cuffed.》
Salome looked at me after examining the state of the fallen beast..
《Looking at the circumstances, I was captured by demonic guards and taken away... … I think he was trying to kill the guards and escape..》
“However, I suffered a serious injury while fighting with the guards, so I couldn't go far and ended up falling down here.?”
《huh. I think so..》
I squatted down next to Salome and looked at the beast..
“……hmm?”
I blinked..
The face of this beast. How familiar?.
I definitely feel like I've seen this somewhere... … place…….
“……mason?”
Suddenly, that name came out of my mouth..
mason.
Leader of the 1st team of the Aigis Special Forces who attacked Crossroads and kidnapped me during Stage 14..
Lucas' former family friend, the man who was thought to have died from Lucas' sword, but used beast shoes to withstand the injury and sneaked into the dungeon.…….
- We are human representative envoys sent by His Highness Fernandez, the next emperor of the empire, and have been sent here to have a direct audience with the ‘Demon King’, the ruler of monsters..
The bastard who went alone into the darkness, saying he wanted an audience with the devil..
At first I thought it was an illusion, but it was definitely true. The hideous, strange-looking beast still had a vaguely human face, and above all,.
《Ash, Prince, Highness……?》
When I called him Mason, he opened his blurry eyes, looked at me, and called my name..
《Here, how……?》
“I say something, this baby.”
This bastard must have been hiding in the dungeon at the base camp at that time..
How on earth did we get here… … We've reached the deepest area, Area 10.?
Mason opened his mouth wide with a face similar to that of a bear, and spoke in a voice filled with laughter..
《It’s been quite a while, seeing you.…….》
“……?”
Long time no see? is it?
Well, some time has passed since the special task force attack incident..
《That's better. Rather than being killed by monsters... … It would be better for me to die by your hand..》
Mason slowly closed his eyes..
《I accomplished my mission… … Now, I have no regrets... … please kill me.》
“What are you talking about? You shouldn't die in peace, you bastard..”
I gritted my teeth and winked at Salome..
“Salome.”
《huh!》
“Charm this bastard. Because I will take you with me.”
《okay! Come on, go to sleep’!》
When Salome stretched out her hand and released a stream of pink air, Mason was easily charmed..
Mason slowly stood up with bleary eyes. Blood dripped from his broken body..
“good. move It's so noticeable here.”
《hmm… … Will it be okay? This Gomtaeng’s injury is serious. If you don't get first aid, you could die quickly..》
“It's hidden. That's enough.”
At that time, even though half of his body was cut by Lucas' sword, Mason did not die and dug into this place. I will survive that level of injury..
‘I'll find out exactly what you did here, use it as a meat shield until the end, and then throw it away..’
So the three of us began to walk quietly through the dark streets, looking for a suitable hiding place..
I was walking ahead, but when I looked back, I clicked my tongue without realizing it..
‘……What a party..’
human.
monster.
And a beast that is neither human nor monster.
Three people who don't get along at all are huddled together and wandering together in the darkness..
‘This is the road to animal life.…….’
Suddenly I missed Crossroads.
I want to go back quickly and see my kids.…….
