Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 434
◈ 434. [Side Story] People leaving (2)
“Whether it's a favor or a grudge, what you receive is returned double. That's the dragon's way.”
Dusk Bringer then shrugged his shoulders..
“Well, and. Aren't Trahana, Larque, Fernandez, all of them busy trying to take over my country? Whichever of the three takes over the empire, my country will only suffer losses..”
Dusk Bringer stretched out his little finger and lightly poked my chest..
“I have to walk with you anyway..”
“haha…….”
Thank you for being honest about this..
Immediately afterwards, Dusk Bringer's expression hardened and.
“and…….”
“yes?”
“……no, no.”
I was trying to say something but I hesitated.
“Forget it. I didn't mean to say anything.”
“No, what! What! Why do you speak so reluctantly?!”
“Don't be too fussy, little one. You will find out over time anyway. That too soon.”
Dusk Bringer smiled brightly, showing off his pointed teeth, then kicked his feet sharply and climbed onto his horse's saddle..
Then, without even saying goodbye, he just waved his hand and left with his men... … I watched in silence as the people of the Bringer Principality stampeded away..
It's been quite a while since they stayed here..
Maybe that's why it was unfamiliar to see people leaving..
‘Everyone will come back.’
I guess I'll have to believe that and wait..
“Okay, so, roughly speaking, all the messengers have left.…….”
After looking around the Crossroads, which somehow became quite deserted,.
I took out my pocket watch, checked the time, and rumbled..
“Why isn’t Kelly Bay coming??”
The last lion, Kelly Bay.
They said they were leaving today, so they prepared gifts and guards, but they haven't shown up. When is this old man coming??
It was then.
“Yay! ash!”
A gruff old dwarf's voice was heard from the teleport gate of the mansion..
Let’s look over there… … What are you doing?.
Even though he had to leave as a messenger, I saw Kelly Bey, dressed as a blacksmith as usual and covered in oil and soot, rolling over..
I was so shocked that I was about to say something, but Kelly Bay shouted excitedly..
“Completed! It's new equipment!”
In his hand, I saw a piece of equipment that was emitting golden light unique to the SSR grade..
“It's the new Nightmare Slayer.!”
“……You come with immunity..”
This is acceptable. Can not help it. I stopped shooting and greeted him with a big heart..
What Kelly Bay created was a helmet..
A combination of a mask, a helmet, and a crown..
“Even though I completed it in a hurry, my finish is perfect! Come see for yourself!”
“…….”
It looked somewhat familiar, but I accepted it with a slightly bitter feeling..
Yes. This is a Nightmare Slayer cast from the Goblin God King's magical core..
the name is-
“It is [Original Sin], the greatest masterpiece of all the helmets I have ever made.!”
Original Sin).
Considering the agony of the Goblin God King and the person who will become the new owner of this helmet, it can be said to be a very appropriate yet vicious name..
I examined this helmet in detail..
Originally, the Goblin God King's helmet had a crown attached to it, and the mask part was quite fancy..
However, this helmet had a laurel wreath, the symbol of the champion, instead of a crown, and the mask part had a simple design..
“Even so, since you are the prince, is it okay for your subordinate to wear a helmet with a crown on it? So I changed it to a laurel wreath..”
“Laurel wreaths were also used by emperors in the past.…….”
“Ah, I don’t use it much these days! And the mask placed more emphasis on its function as a face armor. It won't break even if hit by a cannon..”
Anyway, I got the pitch. Let's see.
[Original Sin (SSR) Lv.50]
- Category: Helmet
- defense : 50
- Durability : 50/50
- health+30
- Your MP is converted to HP. Wearer's magic and skills now consume HP.
- All attacks deal additional magic damage proportional to maximum health, but the wearer also receives a portion of that damage..
- Whenever you receive any type of damage, your physical defense and magic defense increase by 1%. The stack lasts for 3 minutes and accumulates up to 100 times in total..
- Reaching the maximum stack doubles your maximum health and grants additional health regeneration. This effect lasts until the end of the battle..
- ??? (Opened based on the number of enemies killed while wearing this equipment.)
- ??? (Opened based on the number of enemies killed while wearing this equipment.)
There's a long explanation.
To put it simply, it is equipment that increases tanking power by accumulating stacks during battle..
All you have to do is take damage in any form 100 times, and your own attacks and skill use are also a mechanism for inflicting damage on yourself. The stack itself will build up quickly..
‘However, if you continue the battle too hard to build up a stack, there is a risk that the damage will accumulate before you can stack up..’
Will you throw yourself into danger and get back quickly? Or will you stay safe and maintain your stamina??
This is equipment that must be fought while considering these two options. You seem quite perverted..
‘Do you like it!’
After all, if you're a Nightmare Slayer, shouldn't you have this level of perversion? The appearance is also unique. I nodded in satisfaction..
“Great job, Kelly Bay. Very well done.”
“Hehe. I'm always very good at making things. Anyway, I didn't prepare much as I finished this, but I figured I shouldn't just leave tomorrow.…….”
“You can prepare as you go. Let's leave right now.”
“No mercy, you lord! No, don't do that.!”
He forcibly caught Kelly Bay, who was crying, and ordered him to wash up at the manor house..
After roughly applying some water and dressing him in the clothes we had prepared, we loaded him into a waiting carriage..
“The gifts I'm sending are on the back carriage. Please deliver the letter carefully and speak kindly to me..”
“Okay, okay. Thank you very much for sending me off. Bye~ I’ll be back.”
Despite grumbling, Kelly Bay calmly sat down in the carriage. Immediately after, the dwarf says Ah! He made a noise and looked back at me..
“Oh, and. My assistant Hannibal. He said he also has something to say to you..”
“Hannibal.?”
“okay. I brought you there, so talk to me..”
When I turned around, I saw a boy with messy hair standing awkwardly - Hannibal, a spirit enchanter..
I thought we were seeing Kelly Bay off together, but it looks like I have some business to do too..
“Anyway, let’s go~”
“yeah. Come visit us~”
Kelly Bay and the escort troops leave together..
I waved my hand and turned my body back. Before I knew it, Hannibal was standing right in front of me..
I squatted down in front of the boy and smiled softly..
“Hannibal. what do you have to tell me?”
“Yes, your majesty, that's it.…….”
Hannibal hesitated, took a breath, inhaled, stretched out his chest, and exhaled..
“……I think I should talk about my origins..”
Native?
I raised my eyes in confusion..
***
After finishing the conversation with Hannibal.
Crossroads downtown, where everyone has left.
I walked around here and headed to a facility located in a corner of the city..
Temple.
At the entrance of this place, a large man wearing a helmet was still brushing his hair. I called his name.
“Thorkell.”
“Ah, your highness.”
Thorkel slowly turned around and bowed to me..
“Are you here? What happened today?…….”
“I have business for you.”
I handed him a new helmet as he slowly blinked under his helmet..
“Take it, it's your new gear..”
“this is…….”
Thorkel, who received the helmet, was shocked. At first glance, it's probably because it's not ordinary equipment..
“……majesty.”
Thorkel handed it back to me..
“I don't deserve this equipment..”
“…….”
“The shield and mace you gave me earlier are already too much for me. I am grateful, but I am giving this equipment to someone else.…….”
“Thorkell.”
But I didn't back down.
“you are the right person.”
“…….”
Thorkel looked at me and the helmet in bewilderment..
Through a recent battle, Thorkel reached level 50 and awakened his ultimate ability with his 3rd job advancement..
[Thorkell (SR))]
- level : 50
- Title: Seeker with leprosy
- Occupation: Painkiller
- Strength 20, Agility 10, Intelligence 10, Stamina 50 Horsepower 15
Awakening job name: Painkiller).
It means painkiller, but considering the illness Thorkell suffered from throughout his life and the ups and downs of his life, it is a very strange job title..
And the skill status is…….
[Possessed Skills]
> Passive: Leper Slaughter Squad
> Skill 1: Pain of Patience
> Skill 2: Pain of Repentance
> ultimate : ???
A passive skill that further expands and strengthens the characteristics of lepers..
1 skill that increases defense. 2 skills to restore stamina.
And this time, the ultimate skill awakened is…….
‘It's restricted.’
A restricted state is literally a state in which the skill cannot be used due to various factors..
There are many different factors, but in the case of Thorkell... … There's probably a big psychological reason..
‘It seems like he continues to feel guilty that he was the one who caused Margerita's death..’
Since then, you can tell just by looking at him that he has been doing chores at the temple without missing a day..
Moreover, not only Margerita but also all the other leprosy extermination colleagues who had been with her throughout her life were lost..
I will never know exactly what kind of agony and agony he is living through. however.
For his future strategy and for his future life..
Isn’t it possible to stop forever?.
“Thorkell. From now on, you will have to fight as one of the core vanguards of our army..”
A solid anvil is a prerequisite for a strong army..
Of course, there is Evangeline, who is a pure tank and can also deal damage..
[Now that she has obtained [Snow White], Evangeline is now the world's strongest tank in name and reality..
But war is not fought alone.
We desperately need a strong sub-tank to form an anvil together. And Thorkell can fully fulfill that role..
“receive. The armor will be made for you soon..”
“…….”
Eventually, he took the helmet in his arms, but Thorkell was still hesitant..
“Your Majesty, I…….”
After hesitating for a while, Thorkel tried to open his mouth..
It was then.
“Hello, how are you?~!”
Suddenly, a shaky voice was heard..
When we turned around in surprise, we saw a tall figure waddling towards the entrance of the temple... … I saw the man.
“This is the Temple of the Crossroads, right??”
Yes. mister. It was an appearance that could only be described that way..
30Late teens? Early 40s? Was it about that time?.
Dressed in shabby priest's clothes, with oily hair.
His eyes are sunken, his untrimmed beard is dirty, and there is a burnt cigarette butt in his mouth..
A man dressed like that staggered to the front of the temple, let out a long sigh, and threw the backpack he was carrying against the temple wall..
The Bibles in my backpack came pouring out..
“Wow, it was really hard to keep up. Even if it's far, isn't it too far? Crossroads…….”
“uh…….”
Seeing a man I had never seen walking around so calmly, I was embarrassed and asked:.
“Who are you?”
“Oh, didn't you hear me??”
The man took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, checked that it was empty, and threw it on the floor..
He chewed the remaining butt in his mouth and introduced himself to me..
“My name is Zenith, and I am the new chief priest who has been dispatched by the Central Church and has been appointed here at Crossroads..”
Then, he made a circle with his fingers and grinned..
“Please donate generously in the future, my lord..”
