I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 5
◈ 005. [STAGE 0] There is a hole to emerge (2)
‘First of all, the wizard, Lily..’
Flipping through the ordinary stat window, I opened Lily's trait tab..
[Lily(R))]
- Mounting characteristics (1/3)
> flame skin
there is!
It's still the same as the game. flame skin.
[flame skin]
- A trait created by an extreme fear of blades. Turn your body into flame to avoid physical attacks. Each evasion consumes MP.
This is a good tanking characteristic. It's a good trait, but the problem is that Lily is the main damage dealer in this party..
He is also a fire mage with very high mana consumption..
This means that the party is on the verge of annihilation when Lily receives a physical attack..
And in such a situation, rather than activating this trait, you should somehow squeeze out the remaining mana and use attack magic..
If it were a normal game, it would be like that..
But the current situation is very special. I was planning to actively utilize this characteristic..
‘Next is the shield knight, Ken..’
I opened the Traits tab in Ken's stats window..
[Ken (N)]
- Mounting characteristics (1/3)
> How to survive as a petty thief
Of course there is. How to survive as a petty thief.
[How to survive as a petty thief]
- A habit acquired from my time as a petty thief. When they feel in danger, they drastically reduce their popularity and avoid the attention of those around them. Consumes a large amount of HP each time you use it.
As expected, it is a good characteristic. If only Ken wasn't the shield knight..
Ken is a shield knight who draws the enemy's aggro at the very front of the battle line. The role is to use wide-area provocation to attract the enemy's attention and receive attacks with the body..
But it's a stealth trait..
Additionally, it consumes a large amount of HP..
It may be a melee dealer like the thief class, but it is a combination that is not suitable for Ken, a shield knight..
But now I have to write this too.
Now that the exact method is impossible, we must utilize all available variables..
‘And last… … damian.’
I swallowed dry saliva and opened Damian's stat window. Please, stay, please!
The characteristics of other characters are only a side note. It's just a leftover talent that can be utilized..
But Damian's trait was the most deceptive thing in the entire game. It is absolutely necessary for the attack!
and,
[Damian (N)]
- Mounting characteristics (1/3)
> clairvoyance
there is!
This crazy scam trait existed here in real life as well as in the game..
[clairvoyance]
- A trait that was acquired from birth by God's mistake. See what you want to see, guess what you want to see.
It's really crazy.
The explanation is vague, but in the game, it was a dog-eat-dog trait with a personal field of view of +50 squares and an accuracy score of +999 points..
According to the game's official formula, if the accuracy score is over 100, no matter what you shoot, you will definitely hit. But 999 points?
It just means matching it unconditionally. Even if you shoot an arrow from one end of the stage map to the other end, it will hit the eye of a needle exactly..
But the problem is... … The thing about Damian was that he was a healer..
The game systematically limits equipment for each class..
Damian, a healing priest, could only hold a staff. And the only skill he has is ordinary healing magic like an N-rank healer..
In the first place, the heal type is a must-have skill, so it is included unconditionally, but even if the accuracy value is 999, what is the use??
It was literally a feature of the picture that had no way of being utilized in the game. It's just a practical joke from the developer.
‘But this is reality.’
available.
Also, it's insanely useful.!
‘The game exists to be cleared.’
In my head, my cards were neatly organized, and I began to achieve my one and only role..
‘They would have thrown me into a stage that was impossible to clear.?’
Smirk.
Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth went up..
It was the same bullshit that I used to make every time I looked for a trick to get through a stage that seemed daunting, and that the viewers would clamor to turn off the cam when it was broadcast..
‘Then I have no choice but to use cheats……!’
Leave it, it's like a dog that threw me here.
I will definitely clear this crappy game. And I will grab you by the collar and beat you up for sure.……!
***
again, currently.
I glanced at Lily, Ken, and Damien..
“Lily. I once got cut by a blade when I was young.?”
Lily's eyes widened..
“Well, how do you do that??”
“It was a wound suffered by a horde of goblins that attacked the village. After that, I developed a phobia of blades and couldn't even use a kitchen knife at home.?”
“…….”
“I got something in return.”
I immediately took out a dagger from my pocket and stabbed it into the back of Lily's hand..
“Hehehe?!”
Everyone was shocked and couldn't react in time, and Lily was frozen in shock..
Kwasik!
The dagger passed through Lily's hand and lodged in the desk. The back of Lily's hand where her dagger passed was fluttering like a flame..
“After that incident you gained this trait, fire skin..”
“…….”
“As long as you have enough magic power, you can avoid all physical attacks. Was I wrong??”
Lily, who was shaking, slowly nodded. I pulled out the dagger again and put it in my bosom..
“I'm sorry for proving it in a rough way..”
“Oh, no, Your Highness. But how do you know this…….”
“That's not important now.”
I hesitated and turned my head to Ken..
“ken.”
“Yeah, yep?!”
Ken must have thought I was going to throw a dagger at him as well, so he flinched to avoid the attack. I laughed and gave him a chin..
“I was a petty thief when I was young.?”
“……?!”
“Coming from a slum, he had quite a family to support. It must have been quite a struggle to feed an entire family through petty theft..”
Ken was frozen and couldn't reply, but his appearance alone was enough of an answer. I nodded..
“He made a living by petty theft, but as soon as he became an adult, he volunteered to join the military. Afterwards, he worked hard and rose to the rank of knight... … You had a lot of trouble.”
“Uh, uh, uh, how about it…….”
“The important thing is not how you knew. So what can you do?.”
I made eye contact with Ken's trembling eyes..
“You can hide if you want to, right? You can hide from the eyes around you?”
“…….”
“Answer me. Or should I prove it again here??”
“Oh no… … . That's right. it's possible.”
“good. Then what I ordered will be possible.,”
Turn your eyes away from Ken, who is frozen, for the last time. I headed towards Damian, who was squatting in the corner..
“damian.”
“…….”
“Do you have good eyesight? 'excessively’.”
Damian glanced at me with a wide gaze. I squatted down in front of Damian..
“That's why I clearly remember my friend dying.?”
“…….”
“Even now, it's so vivid that it feels like it's right in front of my eyes, and I can't possibly forget it, right? That's why I keep crying.”
Damian was silent for a long time without answering. i waited.
“……Yes, he was a friend from my hometown. from the same orphanage.”
It was a few minutes later that Damian opened his mouth. It was a dry voice..
“That orphanage was a terrible place... … When I was fifteen, Van escaped from the orphanage, taking me with him..”
It seems that Ban is the name of a dead friend. I listened quietly..
“Ban had outstanding talent as a swordsman... … Luckily, I had the aptitude for being a healer. We made a living as mercenaries..”
“…….”
“Me, a third-rate mercenary who is afraid of monsters and freaks out every time I see blood... … I guided the class who had already become first-rate mercenaries. We made a promise that we would work hard together and feed the younger siblings at the orphanage..”
Damien covered his face with his hands..
“But, he died. she died.”
“…….”
“A black spider attacked me as I was exhausted and exhausted, and the person who pushed me away was hit by its claws instead. It was torn to pieces right before my eyes! Looking for something like me!”
The other party members looked at Damian with mixed looks as he cried..
“He wasn't meant to die in a place like this. Van had a dream and the ability to achieve it. But in a place like this, a place like this…….”
“…….”
“why… … Why did you bring us here, prince? why? What noble purpose did you have? Or is it just that cheap lives like ours are entertainment for the higher-ups??”
Tears streamed down from Damien's dried eyes again..
“Please return half. my friend... … I want it back…….”
I silently listened to everything Damian said and then nodded briefly..
“Blame me, Damian. Hate me if you have to.”
I put my hand on Damien's trembling shoulder..
“But half your friends gave their lives to save you..”
“…….”
“But are you going to sit still like this and wait for death??”
Damian's shoulder tremors gradually subsided. I strengthened my voice.
“Just because you're so close to death because of a trashy commander, are you going to give up the life your friend saved and let go??”
“I am…….”
“I have to struggle.”
I tightened my grip on Damien's shoulder..
“I need revenge!”
“…….”
“Kill the spider and get out of here alive! Fuck me too.”
Smirk.
I twisted the corners of my mouth and asked in a soft tone..
“Damian. Do you want to kill those spider bastards??”
Damian's big eyes were still anxious under the blood-stained glasses, but they were no longer shaken..
“yes.”
“Do you want to kill me too??”
Other party members were surprised by my question..
Damian's concerns were short, and his answer was honest..
“……yes.”
“good night.”
I let go of Damien's shoulder and pointed to myself with my thumb..
“I promise. If you leave this place alive, I will definitely die by your hands no matter when..”
“His Royal Highness?!”
Lucas, who was the flagship, tried to say something, but I held out my hand and stopped him..
”If the operation fails, we'll all die anyway. But even then, I will die by your hands in the end. This is a promise that risks the honor of the royal family..”
“…….”
“therefore… … Just one day tomorrow is fine, so follow my orders..”
Damian's eyes, looking up at me, gradually became colder. I smiled contentedly..
If necessary, even hatred must be used as fuel..
Even if it's hatred towards me, I'm willing to.
Damien stumbled out of his seat and stood up straight..
I looked around with a smile at the four party members looking at me..
Finally, my hand is complete.
“Okay, everyone..”
Whether this hand is a loser, a royal straight flush, or whatever..
Now all that's left is all in.
“Then, from now on, I will direct the operation.!”
