Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 521
◈ 521. [STAGE 25] Dancing With The Devil (5)
Again. Again.
The sound of shoes stopped, and what emerged from the shadows was……
A blue-skinned gangshi wearing a tight-fitting oriental dress that clearly exposes her voluptuous body..
The jiangshi looked at the white night and smiled bitterly..
《That is…….》
Baekya, who was looking at the jiangshi with eyes filled with astonishment and fear, muttered in a trembling voice..
《……It's me?》
Is this what it feels like to watch yourself in the mirror come out of the mirror?.
Baekya, frozen in shock, cried out in a panic..
《what's this? What are you! Kill me right now…….》
Shouting like that, Byakuya tried to use magic, but no magic power was gathered at all..
Baekya looked puzzled and looked at his physical condition... … Only then did he realize why he had been unable to move a moment ago..
《……uh?》
Because I didn’t have a ‘body’ right now..
Right now, I was just data in the form of a skull displayed on a small magic panel screen..
《uh? no… … uh? This…….》
“okay.”
Ash looked at me with pity and lifted the glass to his mouth..
“You two, Heukya and Soya, were cloned from the White Night. Your jiangshi body and your forebrain body were swapped..”
《……?!》
“You've been copying and pasting your mind into various bodies, right? It's also possible to exchange them.”
Ash's mouth drew a cruel line..
“why? You envied someone else. You were jealous of someone else who took over the whole brain world, which you considered to be the end point of your research. So I changed it. It's okay to be thankful?”
《What is this... … Nonsense…….》
Heukya, who was trembling on the screen, turned his gaze..
And then I glared at my other self who had swapped bodies - Soya..
Now everything is explained.
The reason I fell for shallow magic tricks today was because another person tried to disrupt my perception..
From the principles of amulet magic to the secret art of transferring the mind to a new body..
It was all leaked to the human side by another person..
《Why... … another me?》
Heukya was angry because he didn't understand..
《You succeeded... … We achieved the ideal eternal life we sought.!》
《…….》
《But why? Even though he gave up his eternal life, he did this.?》
After a moment of silence.
Soya, who had been silent for a while, slowly opened Kang Si's mouth and spoke..
《…… In order to escape the finite shackles of life, I thought that the final point I had reached as a lich was the cybernetic world..》
《But why!》
《But when I got there, I understood. The fact that it is by no means an infinite or permanent space..》
《……!》
I thought that if I replaced myself with data and transferred it, I could gain eternal life in the whole brain world..
But no. In the end, it was just another form of refuge built within the physical space of the Magic Tower..
If the magic tower collapses at any time and the system goes down, the world will disappear like a ghost..
《In the end, only the form has changed, and one day this life will wear out and disappear... … I realized.》
A lich is a wizard trying to escape from death..
From a sickly human body, to an undead skeleton, to a jiangshi, and to data from the electric world.…….
I kept moving my body, but there was no eternity anywhere. The miserable life will only continue.
True eternal life does not exist in a place like this.
《Then Ash made a suggestion to me. I'm going to set up this trap to kill you, but won't you cooperate?.》
Soya glanced in Ash's direction and slowly nodded..
《If I could sell a trap to kill you for sure... … I thought that if I could become the only one again, giving up the whole brain world was a good trade-off..》
Anyway, whether it is data or poetry, it is finite..
In order to return to being the only being, Soya, the cyber rich of the cyber world, was willing to give up her territory..
As a result, the bodies were exchanged like this - Heukya was trapped inside a small and narrow mechanical device..
《Now, in this body of a Jiangshi, I will study new eternal life..》
Soya whispered, looking at her other self with an expression filled with a hint of pity..
《You are trapped in that completely closed world... … Let it disappear slowly. another me.》
《No, no, no.……!》
Heukya struggled, but the mechanism he was trapped in was not connected to anything outside..
If it had been a system built inside the Magic Tower, the mountain of power granted to the Magic Tower could have been freely exercised..
The magic tower has already collapsed, and there is not even a decent magic sensing tool installed in this mechanism..
I was only conscious and unable to do anything..
《No, no, no, no!》
Ash slowly lifted the black woman, who was letting out a miserable scream as if she was scraping metal, by the entire mechanical device she was carrying..
“I hope you don’t have any regrets, heukya. You and I both tried to use and prey on each other..”
Ash sighed calmly as he looked into the dark night inside the mechanism..
“However, rather than you, who spent your entire life studying inside the magic tower, I have been hit by dirt and rolled around in the mud here and there... … I'm a little better at this kind of mud trick fighting. That's it.”
《No, Ash! please! not-》
“Don't worry too much, brain in a vat.”
Ash smiled softly and slowly moved his finger to the power button on the machine..
“I'm not a mad scientist, but sometimes I can send electrical impulses... … There won't be?”
《wait for a sec! please! ash! listen to me…….》
pop-
Ash's finger pressed the power button and the screen turned off..
At the same time, darkness came to the electric world inside a small mechanical device..
Sinking into a completely dark world of nothingness where nothing exists... … Suddenly the dark night realized.
That the person he danced to was not an ordinary human being..
He was literally a demon-like commander of the enemy army..
***
pop-
Earth's tablet PC-like mechanism turned off..
“after.”
I let out a short sigh and placed the machine on the table..
Then the Kangsi slowly came to stand in front of me and opened his mouth..
《Thanks to you, now I'm unique.》
“…….”
《Another me was eliminated, and the Lich Legion also lost its commander and highest-ranking Lich, so it can be seen as virtually annihilated. You carried out my request perfectly..》
The new lich that took over Jiangshi's body - Soya spoke in a simple tone..
《Even though I lost the magic tower... … Well, just rebuild the tower and that's it..》
“…….”
《Thanks, Ash. I will continue to cooperate with you in the future.》
Soya, who appeared to be polite with stiff movements, probably not yet accustomed to her new body, turned back..
《The party's over, so I'll leave now.》
“wait for a sec.”
I called Soya like that.
“Having given up on the electric world, what kind of eternal life will you pursue in the future??”
《…….》
“You realized that no matter what kind of eternal life you pursue here in the real world, you can't achieve it in the end.?”
Soya slowly stopped..
I glared at her back and spoke quietly and confidently..
“You too are aiming for ascension.?”
《…….》
“You signed a contract too, right? Foreign Press Department.”
In the game, when opposing Soya, this guy also used instant kill. He would summon his giant eye and kill this hero with one blow..
In other words - this guy also signed a contract with those eye candy called foreign media..
“In the end, you too will betray us and destroy this world... … I'm trying to stand on the same line as those otherworldly eyes.?”
《…….》
“As a prerequisite to doing so, I tried to eliminate another you. yes?”
When I read the dark night's mind, I had already obtained all the necessary information..
In the end, shoot this guy too... … In order to stand on the same level as those foreign media, they tried to kill each other to gain that qualification..
“Heukya and Soya, you two are ultimately copies of the same entity called Baekya. There is no choice but to have the same way of thinking..”
《…….》
Without answering, Soya slowly reached out and pushed open the closed door of the special room..
OK…….
Slam! Slam! Clap!
My heroes who were waiting outside the door showed up..
Everyone is fully armed. Dressed in armor, pointing the drawn weapon in this direction.
As soon as the door opened, everyone aimed their swords at Soya's neck. Dozens of blades touched her neck..
《…….》
There was a bloody silence..
jingle-
After swallowing the glass of whiskey filled with ice, I thought coldly..
“You might argue no. However, from this point of view, there is no need to take on any more risk..”
《…….》
“I'm sorry, but I can't let you go alive, Saw..”
《……You've been calling me by a strange name since a while ago.》
The Lich Archmage's voice, which let out a short sigh, had an evil aura in it..
《I am midnight.》
Zeng-!
Explosive magical power erupted from her body. My heroes had to sigh and step back..
《He is the Great Emperor of Magic of the Lake Kingdom and the longest surviving Grand Wizard in the history of the continent. And, yes. As you said, I will attain godhood and ascend to the constellation... … The only being. It's midnight.》
Shoot aaaaa!
The magical power emanating from her body created a gust of wind throughout the banquet hall..
As the wind blew, I calmly put down my drink. Before I knew it, Byakuya had turned around again and was facing me..
《Eternal life gained in this underworld has no meaning. Look at the lives in cocoons, living like bugs at the bottom of that lake. That's not the eternal life I'm after.》
“…….”
《I will ascend to heaven. I will stand on the same level as those otherworldly beings.》
“It's cool to admit it..”
《In order to do that, I had to get rid of another me, but you solved that problem..》
Behind her, the darkness of the other world began to gather like clouds..
《If you're going to be against me, I don't need you either. ash.》
Eventually, in the gathered darkness, a huge eye appeared.-
Wow!
-I couldn't open it.
The darkness of the other world suddenly dispersed. The rushing wind stopped, and the rising ominous air also subsided..
《……?》
Baekya, who did not understand the situation, muttered in a puzzled voice..
《what? why? my magic power……?》
“The body you are using now belongs to the Jiangshi... … You taught us how to make a Jiangshi talisman.?”
I slowly stood up and leisurely put my hands in my pockets..
“Before replacing it, I reverse-engineered it one more time and changed the specifications. To limit the use of magical power.”
《What is that... … ?! Don't talk nonsense! This is not possible for modern humans.!》
“Don't look down on modern humans, you ancient monsters..”
This world is a magical civilization..
Do you think that during the years you spent studying alone in the magic tower, the humans outside were having fun?.
Even if it's magic you've never seen before, if you know the formula and language, you can reverse engineer it and steal all the basic principles..
‘Plus, we even have juniors..’
Junior is a genius who, after seeing the magic reversal of the Vampire King Celendion just once, succeeded in copying and stealing the principle and used it as his ultimate weapon..
The magic system of the East had a different basic formula, so all the magicians on the front line, including Junior, had to be mobilized to reverse engineer and reset the system..
Still I did it.
‘The wizard is a tactical weapon comparable to a fighter plane..’
And a fighter jet, as much as it is overwhelmingly powerful, is also a sophisticated, delicate, and fragile weapon..
Weak defense and catastrophically low fuel efficiency compared to other contemporary weapons.
It is powerful after it starts flying, but it can be easily knocked down before it starts flying..
Wizards and fighters are very similar..
So - if something goes wrong with the fuel tank and you can't even start flying in the first place,.
All that's left is an expensive piece of scrap metal that can't fly and has the defense power of a piece of paper..
“You neglected your history study, midnight sun..”
I gestured at the immature archmage who was looking at me with a bored look on his face..
“When you bring a foreign power into a civil war, the outcome is usually the same..”
They must end their fight with their own hands..
If you can't do that and ask for outside help. To the hunting cats outside who approached me with kind smiles.…….
“get eaten.”
These two wizards are the same.
Each side brought in a foreign force called 'I' to destroy the other..
I guess you thought you could just use it moderately and throw it away..
But, that underestimates me too much..
I coldly declared as I walked towards the enemy general..
“It's time to pay the price. Wizard.”
