Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 425
◈ 425. [Side Story] Fernandez
■■■■Before the episode.
New Terra, capital of the Everblack Empire.
final line of defense.
***
the world is burning.
“……ah.”
Standing on the walls of New Terra, the ecliptic capital, Fernández looked down in despair..
The whole world - every horizon as far as the eye could see was death and fire..
A wave of terrible monsters surged endlessly from the south. The monster army that penetrated the southern front moved north and engulfed the entire world..
Humanity tried to resist. They united as one under the command of the Imperial Emperor and fought for their lives..
but was defeated.
Fortresses were taken, and massacres broke out in the cities. Mountains and rivers were stained with blood, and monsters ate human corpses..
The greenskins, whose numbers were endlessly increased, trampled on the human city..
In the fields and valleys werewolves hunted people..
Those who escaped to the sea met ghost pirates and were stranded in the open sea..
Those who were charmed by the dream demon were hung alive and their energy was sucked out..
The black spider queen laid a new egg on top of a pile of corpses..
The blood relatives drank human blood and craved human meat.,
On top of the living hell that had arrived, the plague spread endlessly..
Under the sky where the dazzling and ominous magic lights flicker endlessly.,
Humanity's deadly force, made up of the strongest knights and wizards, was defeated by an army of demonic species.,
The black dragons that flew in burned the retreating death corps with black flames..
“iced coffee…….”
Watching the destruction of the world, Fernández could only sigh in despair..
The predicted fall of the empire is four in total..
Among them, the Yonghyeol Front, the Ambeon Front, and the Ishin Front were also victorious. I couldn't overcome the last monster battle line..
In the end, the monsters that flooded from under the black lake were so strong and numerous that it was impossible for humans to stop them..
Now all that remains is humanity's last city, New Terra..
However, the last line of defense stretched out on the walls of New Terra was all too easily crushed by the waves of monsters that came from all directions..
“Fight! Fight until the end! Let them know we were here-!”
the emperor was fighting.
In front of the southern gate of the Imperial Capital, leading the few remaining Imperial Guards. I resisted until the end and swung my sword..
As a transcendent man who had long ago overcome human limitations, as the last prince to rule the world, he continued to fight without breaking or getting tired..
But - defeat was evident.
The monsters that came in countless numbers gnawed at the SS members one by one and eventually killed them. At one point, there was no living person left around the emperor..
“Whoo, whoo, whoo…….”
chuck-
Three monsters landed in front of the emperor, who was covered in the blood of both humans and monsters..
A wizard wearing a robe with wide sleeves and a coronation cap decorated with small beads, and his face covered with a large amulet attached to the cap..
Emperor of Magic, White Night.
Gorgeous deer-like antlers sprouting from cream-colored hair..
A woman wearing a fancy dress over her red skin and a mask covering her eyes, like something used at a masquerade ball..
Demon Guardian Commander, Cromwell.
A being dressed in a neat black and white suit, with long black hair hanging down in a haphazard manner, and shining golden dragon eyes raised..
It takes on a human form, but its essence is a dragon..
Black Dragon, Night Bringer.
The three monsters glared at the emperor, who resisted until the end, and raised their respective powers..
“…….”
The emperor's sword, which had been swung tirelessly, suddenly fell down..
The emperor saw his dead men, the completely destroyed city walls, and the imperial flag torn to shreds..
“is it.”
And, I muttered bitterly.
“……I guess this is it..”
Taat-!
The three monster commanders fired at the emperor at the same time..
Countless magic bullets fired by the Great Magic Emperor hit the emperor's entire body..
The leader of the demon army jumped in front of the emperor, who was removing them one by one with his sword..
The muscles of the red-skinned woman's limbs swelled rapidly, and she flew away at terrifying speed using the wings of the skin spread out on her back..
The devil's fists, feet, and whip-like tail struck the emperor's sword fiercely..
The emperor was repeatedly pushed back by the two monsters who attacked from close and long distances, eventually exposing a gap..
And the black dragon did not miss the opportunity..
Taaak!
When the black dragon lightly snapped his fingers, an invisible and intangible force poured out - digging into the area that the emperor was unable to defend with his sword..
Phuwak……!
“…….”
The emperor looked down at his chest blankly..
Blood was gushing like a fountain from the hole in my chest..
The intangible force left a small hole in the middle of the chest, but came out through the back and tore the emperor's flesh into pieces. like a cannonball.
The emperor, blood pouring from his chest and back, slowly collapsed. The knee of a man who had never known surrender his entire life finally touched the floor..
The emperor, who was coughing up blood from his nose and mouth, suddenly raised his head..
thud… … . thud… … . thud…….
To the south beyond the horizon.
A huge strange monster had appeared..
The Great Magician, the Demon Corps Commander, and the Black Dragon knelt down on one knee and showed respect in front of the newly appeared monster..
-It was a woman with her face covered by a morning veil with burnt ends..
The hem and sleeves of the dress she wore were burned, and the high crown on her head was also scorched and blackened..
Even her long white hair that seemed to be dragging on the ground. The tip was burnt black..
In his hand is a long sword made of pitch black darkness..
Facing the approaching strongest and worst monster, the Emperor muttered his opponent's name through his blood-filled mouth..
“……‘The lake princess who can't sleep’.”
A walking nightmare that single-handedly destroyed the Southern Front..
The worst monster, a condensation of all the curses of the Lake Kingdom, has finally descended on the final land of mankind..
The 'Sleepless Lake Princess' who arrived in front of the emperor stared at him indifferently, then quickly raised her hand with the sword in it.-
Deng Geng…….
He cut off the emperor's head in one fell swoop..
The body of the emperor who lost his head fell helplessly to the side..
The last leader of mankind died like that..
“Abama mama……!”
Fernandez shed bloody tears as he watched this scene from the castle wall..
“AA AA AA……!”
was helpless.
I was so helpless..
While being the protector of the empire. As the last wizard left in this world.
There was nothing that could be done..
The ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’ who murdered the emperor raised her hand that was not holding her sword, aimed it at the southern gate of New Terra, and snatched it away..
Quad deuk!
Then the castle gate was instantly distorted and torn apart by black magic power..
“Wow!”
Fernandez, who was deploying defensive magic on the castle wall, was unable to resist the enormous power and fell backwards, vomiting blood..
‘When the ‘sleepless lake princess’ lightly waved her hand to the side, the torn gate rolled to the side in an unsightly manner..
Humanity's last line of defense has collapsed in vain..
“……Is it my turn?.”
And inside the castle gate, Larque, who had been waiting with one arm and one leg missing, stood up shakily, using his long sword as a walking stick..
Fernandez shouted at Larc from the castle wall..
“older brother! No, brother! Get back! That monster can't be stopped!”
“Fernandez… … sorry. The reason the situation turned out this way is because this brother was ugly..”
Fernandez cried out desperately, but Larque only smiled vaguely at the top of the castle wall..
“Let's meet again in the afterlife.”
And Lark roared and rushed towards the monsters.,
Powwow-!
The next moment, it was shattered with a single gesture from the ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’. Drops of blood poured down like showers in all directions..
“older brother! Ah ah ah ah ah! older brother!”
Fernandez screamed, shedding bloody tears..
In his ears,
“……Looks like we're the only ones left now.”
I heard my brother's voice.
When I turned around, I saw the 3rd prince, the youngest of the empire's guardians, coming up the castle wall with a haggard expression. Fernandez absentmindedly called his brother's name..
“ash…….”
“…….”
Ash was glaring at the monsters passing through the castle gate with his eyes set to dust..
“Ash, listen carefully..”
Fernandez wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gathered his magic power..
“I will hide you with my last strength. You must survive and plan for the future..”
“……The world is destroyed, bro. There's nowhere to hide or run.”
“But you don't have to live!”
Even if the mother who gave birth is different. they were brothers.
In the final struggle to save the world, the guardians became true companions and eventually became a family..
That's why Fernandez tried to use his last strength for his brother..
but.
“I'm sorry, bro. But in the next round.”
Clap!
Before Ash knew it, he had pulled out a pistol-shaped magic gun and was aiming it at his own temple..
“In the next ‘game’… … I will save this world.”
“what?”
“This world is repeating infinitely. And it always ends the same way.”
While saying that, Ash silently looked down at New Terra being devoured by monsters..
“I've only participated in this 'game' a few times as a player, but no matter what... … I can't change this ending, where monsters destroy the world..”
“Stop being weird and put down the gun! It's dangerous!”
Fernandez urgently put his hand forward. But without even listening, Ash smiled faintly..
“But, let me change it. If the world repeats itself infinitely, we also have just as much opportunity..”
Clap.
The safety of the pistol was released, and Ash's hand holding the trigger tightened..
“Don't do that, Ash..”
Fernandez shook his head, shaking. There were even tears in his eyes..
“don't leave me here alone.”
“…….”
“Please, Ash! If you die too, you can't do that. We brothers, Guardians, must fight together……!”
“You know what, bro.?”
Ash giggled..
“My older brother was a gisaeng brother with a reputation for showing off, a lack of luck, and a taste for food… … While fighting together, it was fun in its own way..”
“ash! not-”
“Well then, see you again. brother.”
At the same time as Fernandez ran towards Ash, Ash quietly closed his eyes..
“I'll definitely protect you next time.”
taang-!
Blood splattered everywhere..
Ash's body fell forward after committing suicide with a pistol..
Fernandez walked unsteadily, unable to take a few steps, then knelt down and covered his mouth..
at last.
All those fights. All that struggle. All those sacrifices. He was useless.
The guardians have fallen, and the world is destroyed..
this was the ending.
at that time-
“this.”
Suddenly I heard a voice next to me..
“You're one step late.”
When Fernandez looked in surprise, a gray-haired man covered in an old robe flew out of the sky and landed on the castle wall..
Prophet of the Empire - Ader.
He looked at Ash's body and sighed..
“Player Ash admitted defeat and committed suicide... … I think this episode is up for grabs..”
OK,
《Then we too.》
An extremely evil voice rang out in the air, and a black shadow gathered in the empty sky - and soon it changed into a human shape..
The evil lord who creates and rules over all monsters..
The Demon King grinned, creating white cracks on his black face..
《Let’s move on to the next round of the game.?》
and.
All these sights.
“…….”
Fernandez was just watching, dumbfounded..
