I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 503

◈ 503. [[Free Exploration] Let’s go look for items (2)

It came up.

Rob is…….

The last SSR grade item dropped by the magic goblin was a robe, a magician's equipment. It was a piece of equipment that looked very luxurious even at first glance, with gold embroidery on a black background..

Let's see, the name is.

[Past Future (SSR))]

“What are you saying??!”

I screamed in surprise without realizing it..

Magistrate's End Armor, [Past Future]!

This robe's other stats were ordinary, but it became a final piece of armor with just one special option, which was the option to 'draw and use future magic power.'.

- You can borrow and use magic power 3 days from the current point in advance. The more horsepower you borrow, the more horsepower you have to repay after 3 days..

Although you have to repay as much as you spent, or more than you spent, later. Being able to use magical power when in a hurry is a huge advantage..

Especially in this damn defense game, there are a lot of things that require you to use everything you have at hand, but this robe is very useful because you can use more magic right away even if you get sick a few days later..

“……Armor, no.…….”

Lucas looks down at the robe with gloomy eyes.,

slap!

Junior suddenly rushed in and snatched the robe..

Junior's eyes were instantly filled with fearful material desires... … right! He was just like his mom, so he had a gold mine of negative traits.!

Without saying a word, Junior draped the robe over his body with agile movements. She then spun around in her seat with an ecstatic expression on her face..

“It's a beautiful night~”

If you ask me, it’s still daylight outside… … Well, it's dark inside the dungeon.…….

And Lucas' face was darker than in the dungeon. I couldn't help but tap Lucas on the shoulder..

“Lucas. I told you earlier. I am preparing your own armor for you..”

Lucas looked at me again with hopeful eyes, but I decided to just be honest..

“However, you can't get that equipment right away..”

Lucas' final armor is equipment that can be obtained in the deepest part of Area 9..

Today I was trying to get some armor that I could use before I got that armor, but I failed spectacularly anyway.…….

“therefore… … Let’s make the armor we will wear right now at the blacksmith shop..”

Currently, the routes through which you can make equipment are Kelly Bay's magic blacksmith shop and Crossroads' normal blacksmith shop..

It is true that Kelly Bay's magic forge produces better quality on average, but it is basically slower. In addition, other equipment has been ordered now..

On the other hand, the quality of Crossroad's general blacksmith shop is not as good as that of Kelly Bay, but the production speed is much faster. This is better for Lucas who needs armor right away..

I just got a bunch of SSR grade magical cores from yesterday's box. Customization is possible, so you will be able to fill in only the options Lucas needs..

Lucas seemed a little disappointed, but when I personally comforted him, he soon came back with a brave face..

“I understand, my lord. I behaved too much like a child..”

“no! I fully understand.”

Because everyone has material desires. Actually, I didn't say it, but I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get any equipment that I could use today..

But even though I coaxed him, Lucas closed his eyes tightly and shook his head..

“Blaming the equipment, coveting the equipment... … I guess I forgot my duty as a knight for a moment. I'm sorry, my lord. Lucas, the fire candle, I will gladly wear anything my lord bestows, even if it is a piece of rags..”

“No, no rags. I'll get a new one for you at the blacksmith shop.…….”

For a moment, I imagined Lucas dressed in rags. He even wears that tin helmet on his head, saying he has no reputation.…….

‘If you do this, you're just a pervert..’

Other party members also comforted Lucas..

“Sure, Sir Lucas! Blacksmith crafted armor would be great too.!”

Junior shouted from behind, smiling brightly. However, while saying that and dancing around wearing the SSR grade robe I just got, it seems a bit deceptive..

“that's right! Our Crossroads blacksmith equipment is also excellent.!”

Damian spoke in a tone that seemed to introduce a rural specialty. But you also carry [Venom Fang (SSR)] in your arms and carry [Black Queen (SSR)] on your back, so it seems like you are just deceiving me..

Lastly, Evangeline… … what?

I also thought he might wear [Snow White] and do some tap dancing, but surprisingly, he didn't show any more tricks and stayed calm. With an inexplicable smile on your lips.

“Hmm, even if it’s a piece of rag, you can wear it comfortably.…….”

Lucas and I both looked at Evangeline in horror as she smiled like that. Well, what is it? why? Why are you smiling like that??

“Seniors. Today's exploration doesn't end with this goblin room.?”

“uh? Oh, right. Since I'm already here, I'd like to explore a little more deeply.…….”

“However, when going on an expedition like that, Uncle Lucas won't be able to go barefoot like he is now. He'd have to wear temporary armor somehow..”

“yes……?”

“I happen to have a really nice set of temporary armor.!”

Evangeline clapped her hands in joy..

“Great! I'll lend it to you for free! Huhuhuhu!”

temporary armor?

I didn't understand right away so I just blinked, but Lucas' face went blank..

“Wait a minute, that temporary armor?……?!”

***

“I knew this day would come, so I kept it well maintained.!”

Base camp. smithy.

When Evangeline rushed to Kelly Bay and asked him what to do, Kelly Bay took out a set of equipment from the blacksmith shop and placed it on the table as if he had been waiting..

“This is the armor-!”

“…….”

Lucas, who was looking at the old bone armor of ignorant shapes laid out one after another in front of him, shouted loudly..

“No, isn't this what Evangeline wore before?!”

It was the armor of total defense that Evangeline wore before Snowwhite..

“Don't worry, we've re-adjusted the size to standard! If you're going to wear it, I'll make further adjustments right away.!”

“No, I mean, that's not the problem.……!”

Lucas was shaking and trying to protest, but I smiled brightly and gave him a thumbs up..

“Great, Lucas! This armor works really well! There won't be any problems until the new armor is completed.!”

“Lord, Lord! That's not the problem……!”

At that time, Evangeline smiled evilly and pounded the armor with her hand..

“They say you can wear even rags.?”

“Pfft?!”

“And what did everyone say when I received this armor? You said it was cool, right? You said it was cool, right? Then Uncle Lucas will also enjoy wearing this armor, right? I guess so?”

Evangeline’s green eyes flashed fiercely. It's as if she wants you to experience the same humiliation she went through.,

Lucas trembled as he stood in front of the old, musty-smelling bone armor. I patted Lucas on the back..

“I'm going to go a little deeper today. Just wear it for today, Lucas..”

“Hehehehe……!”

Lucas, who was conflicted, eventually wore the armor he saw in shame..

‘and.’

Until now, I felt like a sophisticated, cold city knight, but when I put on this armor, I suddenly felt… … I turn into a primitive ancient jungle bandit..

I muttered softly without realizing it..

“Washing clothes is really important.…….”

“Whoop!”

Evangeline burst out laughing at that image gap, and Damien and Junior desperately suppressed their laughter with bright red faces..

Lastly, Lucas held up a helmet made of a dragon's skull and looked at me with pleading eyes. I nodded loudly..

“Performance first!”

Can looking at a dog save your life? Performance is top priority!

In the end, Lucas, who was wearing a bone helmet, became an ugly figure that did not suit the protagonist with blonde hair..

Moreover, since it was originally worn by Evangeline, the armor is a bit small even after adjusting the size.…….

‘ If it had been done like this during the broadcast, viewers would have gone crazy..’

Even though this country is far from fashionable and has a ruinous fashion sense, I understand this..

This… … It's a perverted look…….

“……I'm sorry, Evangeline..”

When I regretted it belatedly and apologized softly, Evangeline smiled brightly and whispered..

“are you okay. Seeing Uncle Lucas do that makes me forgive everything..”

In the end, wearing a full set of bone armor.

Lucas, who was so mad for some reason, immediately pulled out his sword and roared..

“If it's for my lord, this Lucas... … ! I will be willing to look even worse.!”

No, I don't think there's any way to go any further than that.…….

I just thought about it and couldn't bring myself to say it. Lucas continued to let out a tearful yell..

“Who is the monster you will face this time?! I will kill them all-!”

***

The monster army of Stage 24 has already been confirmed through autonomous exploration by other parties..

Legion of strange birds.

It's time for the flying monster army to return again..

“These guys are birds because they like to talk, but the way they act is practically like a swarm of locusts..”

Entering the depths of the dungeon, I explained the ecology and habits of the monster army..

“They're a huge flock of magical mutant birds that eat up any living thing in their path..”

It's strong, big, has the ability to regenerate itself, and is faster than anything else..

They are the fastest of all flying monsters..

Although it does not have a high specific resistance like a gargoyle or a drake, the combination of 'flying' and 'fast' alone makes it a difficult and troublesome enemy..

“So, let's beat a dungeon today and learn roughly how to deal with these guys..”

As I entered area 7 of the dungeon, I continued my explanation..

“The dungeon we're going to this time is a small dungeon in District 7..”

7It is the smallest of the area dungeons and is limited to 5 people..

It can be said that we are the elite, so the 5 of us will be able to beat it without difficulty..

Still, I was careful just in case, and after familiarizing myself with the tactics I had prepared to deal with them, I entered the dungeon.-

Caw! caw!

Patter! food deukdeuk!

For some reason, as soon as the monsters in the dungeon encountered us, they panicked and were busy running away..

“What, why are they like this??”

As we were puzzled and caught the monsters one by one, we slowly realized.

The monsters weren't afraid of us..

I was afraid of Lucas…….

“why……?”

Lucas' shoulders trembled..

“Are you saying that my appearance is so ugly that even monsters are scared of it?……?”

No, it may be a bit painful to look at, but it won't have this effect.…….

I was puzzled, but then I realized, “Ah!” made a sound I realized the reason later..

“Come to think of it, the Bone Armor was armor made from the bones of a subspecies of red dragon..”

I remembered Kelly Bay explaining it that way when Evangeline received the armor..

“And hundreds of years ago, it was the red dragon that wiped out the monster army..”

“ah……!”

A natural enemy, so to speak. Among them, it is the predator that destroyed the species. It's armor made from the bones of a red dragon.…….

“So just because you're wearing that armor makes me want to leave..”

This armor was unexpectedly useful..

It was just left on (and Evangeline wore it to make fun of Lucas), but it became a truly extreme performance item in this battle against the monster corps..

Since it was so useful, Lucas couldn't complain anymore and say he would take it off..

“Ahhhhh!”

Lucas roared and eagerly cut down the monsters running away from him. We followed quietly behind him..

‘This exploration is convenient.…….’

I was able to clear one of the dungeons in District 7 without much difficulty..

***

“I have more time than I thought.”

I checked my pocket watch and was lost in thought..

I cleared the magic goblin room and this dungeon much faster than expected. There's still time and room left for the party..

“Should we do a little more reconnaissance??”

“Of course!”

“It's so refreshing that it would be a waste to return like this..”

The other party members agreed, and since I had brought the most elite party members, I wanted to be more efficient, so I decided to do a little more deep reconnaissance in the dungeon..

this was a mistake.

Exit the safe area of ​​the cleared dungeon and enter the back alleys of Area 7, which are immersed in complete darkness. I walked forward for about 5 minutes.

Suddenly, Evangeline, who was walking at the front line holding a torch, slowly stopped walking..

“Evangeline?”

When asked curiously, Evangeline slowly looked around with frowning eyes and spoke softly..

“Isn't there something strange??”

“what?”

“the darkness…….”

At that moment, the wind touched my cheek.

“……It's too dark.”

Phew-

It sounded like someone was exhaling cold breath..

And the next moment.

hook.

turned off.

the torch.

It wasn't just the torch. The lantern held in another party member's hand, and the unquenchable blue flame torch held in my hand.…….

all.

For the past two years, since I entered this dungeon, there is a light that has never been turned off... … They all disappeared.

At that moment, it suddenly occurred to me.

Advice from anonymous when I first came to this dungeon.

- Never, ever, turn off the light..

Light has disappeared from the world.

“Oh no, no-”

next moment.

Before I even say anything,

Shoot aaaaa-!

All around, a suffocating darkness with substance... … It came crashing down on us like a tidal wave..
