Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 487
◈ 487. [STAGE 23] Seed (3)
The three sisters grew up caring for each other like that..
Although Stheno and Euryale did not blame Medusa, Medusa always felt sorry for her two older sisters..
Because she was born cursed, and because of that, her sisters lived unhappy lives..
I wonder if my sisters would secretly blame me... … I was anxious.
So I looked up at the stars and made a wish..
I put my hands together and earnestly repeated to the stars a wish that I could not tell anyone..
One day I made a wish every day,
- There's something I'm longing for, baby?
the being appeared.
It was a night when the two older sisters, who had gone fishing, were exhausted and went to bed early..
Medusa secretly left home alone that day, sat down on the beach, looked up at the Milky Way, and made a wish..
Then the being descended.
What came down through the starlight was someone wearing a black robe. The neutral voice sounded like that of a newborn or an old man on the verge of death..
- I have come after hearing your prayers. I think I can help you.
It was my first time talking to someone other than my sisters. Medusa hesitated and asked carefully..
- who are you?
- I am the messenger of those stars. Since you're always watching us, I came to hear your story.
A black shadow grinned from within the robe..
- Is there anything you wish for? Tell me. i can help.
Medusa, who was staring at him blankly, spat out as if possessed..
- I want to be like my sisters.
- same look?
- yes. I don't like being stared at because I'm different from my sisters. I don't want my sisters to suffer because of my cursed appearance... … I want to be like my sisters.
Then Rob's presence nodded willingly..
- Okay, I'll grant you your wish..
- yes?
- It's not that hard, come on.!
match! match! match!
Rob's being clapped loudly three times and pointed to the three sisters' cabin not far away..
- Go home and sleep well. Tomorrow morning, everything will change as you wish.
Medusa stood up from her awkward position, bowed to the being, and then ran towards her house..
Although he couldn't believe all of those shadows, a ray of hope was sprouting in the young monster's heart..
maybe, really.
Tomorrow, you will no longer be this hideous monster... … The hope that I might be able to live as a pretty human being like my sisters..
The hope that this curse I inherited from my parents might disappear.…….
…….
But the next morning, when Medusa woke up, what she found was,
- Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
They were two older sisters who were reduced to monsters just like themselves..
Stheno and Euryale both had their limbs twisted hideously and their hair transformed into snakes..
The small lips that had been singing a lullaby were torn long and fangs appeared, and the eyes that were looking at him with affection became blurred with the energy of petrification..
Medusa, who was staring at this scene in a daze, heard laughter in her ears..
- Ahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!
Before I knew it, it was Rob who opened the cabin door and came inside..
- Congratulations, Medusa! Sincere congratulations!
The being that took off its robe hood had its entire body made up of shadows..
He was made of pitch black shadows, his white blank mouth wide open and he was laughing out loud..
- With this, your wish has come true!
- no… … This is not my wish.
Medusa rushed at the being, grabbed him by his collar, and begged..
- Return the sisters to their original form! This… … This is not what I wanted!
- What are you talking about, Medusa? This was your real wish.
The being didn't stop laughing.
- This is the darkness in your heart that you prayed for every night while looking up at the sky!
- no…….
- Jealousy and anger towards sisters who are different from you and are beautiful... … I hope that everyone else but you becomes an ugly monster like you. This is your true wish?
- no! I have never wished for anything like this! I am……!
Medusa glared at the being with trembling eyes..
- you are… … What the hell?
The being shrugs its shoulders and,
- The devil who makes things happen, the master of monkey hands, the constellation that jumps... … . Well, there are many nicknames..
The corners of his white mouth were pulled up and he smiled evilly..
- ……A lot of people call me the devil.
- Devil……?
- Who I am is probably not more important now.?
The Demon King gestured towards the two older sisters..
The transformation process had already come to an end..
Stheno and Euryale, who had suddenly lost all human form, gaped desperately as they looked at Medusa..
- Medusa, my baby, I have something to say…….
Trying to convey something to my younger brother, I struggled with my throat unable to breathe..
- Something I must say to you…….
- ……Crumbling.
Spitting out a monster's voice that makes your blood boil,.
Eventually, the eyes of the two sisters lost all sense and became blurry..
What's left there... … There were only two other monsters that looked like Medusa..
- iced coffee…….
In front of her two older sisters who were cursed with the same curse as herself and turned into monsters..
- Ahhhhh!
Medusa screamed.
There was nothing I could do except scream..

《Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!》
The damage from losing both eyes must have been so severe that Steno was still staggering around, unable to straighten his body..
Keying! Kiiiiing……!
The energy of petrification poured out from the two cut out eyes, petrifying the surroundings indiscriminately. But the momentum was gradually weakening..
Five men standing in front of Steno.
Lucas, Thorkell, Zenith, Warlock, Blind Swordsman.
Naturally, the organization ended as one party, and they prepared for battle..
“His petrified magical eye has been sealed..”
Lucas glared at Steno. Now the magical eye of petrification has completely lost its power and can no longer turn the surroundings into stone..
Lucas lightly threw the mirror shield he no longer needed to the side and grabbed his sword with both hands..
“You no longer need to be careful of petrification. But don't let your guard down-”
It was before Lucas could even speak..
Stheno slowly removed his hands from his eyes, lifted his blank face, and looked around.,
《baby.》
I turned my head exactly to the north..
This was the direction Lily fled on the golem..
《baby… … Ah ah ah ah ah!》
Going to school-!
Steno kicked the ground and started charging..
Even though he had lost his eye, the momentum of his attack was even stronger than before. The five heroes gritted their teeth as they blocked the path..
“Hmm-!”
Thorkel was the first to stand in front of Stheno holding his shield..
Kwasik-!
However, Stheno forcefully pushed Thorkell's shield away from his shoulder, breaking through Thorkell's block..
Thorkell tried to hold on somehow, but his natural strength was different..
“Wow……!”
In the end, Thorkell was thrown away with his shield..
But thanks to this, the momentum of the charge was completely lost. Next, the warlock and blind swordsman attacked Stheno from left and right..
“Is there nothing you can see, you eyeless bastard?-!”
“You're not saying that to me, are you? That's what I'm saying to him?!”
Black magic and slashes hit Steno accurately..
But Steno covered himself with both arms and took the attack..
I continued to charge without caring whether my right arm was burning with black flame or my left arm was falling off from the sword strike..
“uh…….”
“this.”
The two who were standing in the path of the rush tried to avoid it by urgently rolling their bodies left and right.,
《Kyaaaaaat!》
Stheno blasted the two away with a sound wave..
The warlock and the blind swordsman rolled around on the floor, vomiting blood..
Next, Zenith, wearing divine power armor all over her body, and Lucas, who drew the sword of light, blocked Stheno's path..
Wow!!
Lucas had even activated his ultimate skill, [Full Body Descent]. Here he intended to put an end to Steno once and for all..
However, Steno snatched Zenith, who rushed at her first, and then held her in front of Lucas, who attacked her one after another..
“Pfft?!”
Lucas had to urgently hold his sword back, exposing a gap..
Steno swung Zenith and threw her at Lucas. The two had to collapse under Stheno's power and each other's weight..
《Kruk, kyaaaaaat…….》
When Steno, who thought he had eliminated all the obstacles, was about to hit the ground again..
“Don't be funny, monster..”
Thorkell again.
Thorkel, who was the first to leave, stood in front of Stheno again..
“'Cause we'll play 'til you get sick of it.”
Behind Thorkel, the remaining four heroes staggered and stood again..
Everyone had nosebleeds, cracked lips, and bruises, but they all managed to block the monster's path..
OK,
《Don't disturb me.》
Stheno opened his long, torn mouth and spat out his first sentence..
《Baby, to… … I have something to say…….》
Rock armor sprouted all over Stheno's body, and immediately after, Stheno looked forward and vomited out a terrible sound wave..
《It's there ahhh-!》
The five heroes jumped into the monster again, each holding their own weapons. Lucas roared like a lion..
“I can’t pass by ah ah-!”
***
Crossroads. North.
The golem was waddling and running down the street carrying two people..
Due to the nature of the golem, it was large and heavy, so strictly speaking, its speed was slower than that of an ordinary person..
However, there was no suitable means of transport to transport Lily, who could not use her legs..
“Originally I was just going to run away.!”
The golem wizard had a distraught expression..
She looked at Sid's sleeping face as if he was dying of cuteness. Sid was sound asleep in Lily's arms..
“But damn, what is this guy’s humanity… … A monster is coming to a newborn baby. How can you run away when you see it? I eventually joined.”
Lily bowed her head..
“thank you so much.”
“Oh well, thank you. It was something that a human being should naturally do. Okay, if you get out of here safely, raise your child well.…….”
Without speaking, the golem wizard looked back in shock..
“……what.”
thud… … ! thud… … ! thud……!
The north gate of the castle that was closed shook violently.,
Took bang-!
It was crushed into vain..
And what popped out was Steno..
The monster's entire body was tattered as if it had been in a fierce battle..
Both feet were missing, the side was torn off, and the chest was hollowed out. His neck was half cut and tattered..
And then he ran forward again, maintaining his strange balance with his scarred body..
“Holy crazy! Damn, damn, damn……!”
The golem wizard hurriedly tried to increase the speed of the golem, but realized that there was no suitable way. so,
“Just get on and keep going!”
He shouted and jumped off the golem..
The golem continued to run along the road, and the golem wizard gritted his teeth and blocked Stheno's path. Lily exclaimed in confusion..
“Don't do that, avoid it! That monster is me... … They're targeting my child! It's okay if you avoid it-”
“I know the saying sunk cost.?”
Steno got closer in no time. The golem wizard trembled, but created a new golem using the materials around him..
“If you lose money at a gambling table. Because I feel sorry for the money I lost, I end up spending more money next time. Even though I know it's money I won't be able to find anyway. I was ruined like this..”
“…….”
“What should I do? I already poured all my money into this game..”
Kugugoogung Palace!
A new golem made of clay stood up and blocked the path. The golem wizard roared..
“It's a mess anyway, so I'll just have to clean up the remaining change.!”
Kwakwang-!
Stheno attacked, and the newly created golem was shattered..
The golem wizard flew helplessly like a puppet whose strings had been cut and fell into a nearby ditch..
Lily couldn't even scream. Before I knew it, Steno had jumped up and was right in front of Lily..
bang! Crackling!
When Stheno lightly kicked his leg, the golem that Lily and Sid were riding lost its lower body and collapsed..
Lily hugged Sid and rolled around on the floor. Sid, surprised by the sudden situation, burst into tears..
Mite… … ! mite……!
《…….》
Steno, who was standing in front blankly, looked down at Sid..
You won't be able to see anything with your two destroyed eyes. As if he had any remaining eyesight, he was looking exactly in the direction where Sid was crying..
Is it an illusion??
Lily thought about Steno's empty gaze... … I thought it was somehow sad.
《……baby.》
A human voice came out from the monster's mouth..
《There was always something I wanted to say.》
Lily unconsciously stopped the hand that was about to pour out flame magic..
Stheno spoke with an unclear pronunciation, but desperately..
《Your birth is not a curse.》
“…….”
《We don't blame you.》
Lily didn't know who this monster was talking to..
《We were happy that you came to us... … uh. You have been a great blessing to us..》
But I instinctively understood.
《baby.》
This monster too... … The fact that she was a single mother who raised a child.
《Thanks born.》
A child who is persecuted and pointed at just for being born into this world... … that she was a mother.
《This world is cruel, but it is also full of beautiful things.…….》
Stheno's hand slowly stretched forward. The monster's metal hand had no fingers left..
Lily didn't stop it..
《May your life be filled with as much joy as you have given us.…….》
Talk.
Steno's fingertips touched Sid's forehead..
Before I knew it, Sid was no longer crying. She opened her large light green eyes and looked up clearly at the face of the monster holding out its hand to her..
The monster was laughing.
Like, long ago.
As if I felt relieved after telling everything I wanted to say to my younger sister, whom I raised like a daughter.…….
《I will bless you.》
and,
Taat-!
“Lie down-!”
Lucas, covered in blood, rushed at Steno from behind and thrust out a blade of light..
Lily hugged Sid and closed her eyes..
Stheno did not avoid.
Deng Geng……!
The monster's cleanly severed head flew into the sky..
