Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 548
◈ 548. [STAGE 31] Too Young To Die (3)
Because elementalists can move in assimilation with nature, they are able to move most secretly among magic classes..
So it took a while for the Scarecrow commander to realize that the hostage was gone..
《uh?》
When the scarecrow commander, who was stroking his empty chest, urgently turned his eyes, the figures of the two boys - Mikhail and Hannibal, running away on the spirit of the earth - were moving away..
《That damn crow stole the unharvested wheat grains……!》
A heat suddenly rose from behind the scarecrow commander, who was muttering in anger..
《……?!》
The scarecrow commander slowly turns around.,
Gooooooo……!
Diarmudin, who summoned a huge pillar of flame behind him, and Chain, who threw off all the chains on his body and joined the darkness..
And Lucas, who was using his ultimate [Full Body Descent] to emit a golden halo, was flashing his murderous eyes..
Lucas swiped his bloody lip with the back of his hand, gritted his teeth, chewed it, and spit it out..
“If there aren't any hostages, it's as easy as four guys..”
《Hoo…….》
Gigeek. Gigi Geek.
The Scarecrow asked, tilting his half-severed head to the side and opening his torn mouth to the end of the straw bag's head..
《Really, is it so??》
***
“ha! ha! ha!”
Hannibal let out a sharp breath..
Hannibal was not someone who directly summoned spirits to fight, but was closer to an enchanter who was more talented at imbuing items or people with spirits..
I had little combat experience, and this was my first time properly encountering a monster corps commander like this..
In this situation, the physical strength consumption was unusual as he moved secretly while dealing with the enormous amount of evil energy right in front of the monster corps commander..
The speed of the earth spirit carrying Mikhail gradually slowed down..
“……It's no use like this.”
Despite this, Hannibal did not stop running forward, and Mikhail muttered something pitiful..
“Even if they save me like this, I will still die when I return to my hometown..”
“…….”
“Because I am a failure... … There is no reason to sacrifice your life like this to save it. You too, leave me alone even now…….”
Taat!
At that time, there was a hand lifting Hannibal and Mikhail..
When the two boys looked up in surprise, they saw Zenith. Janice picked up one boy in each arm, placed them at his side, and began to run forward..
“Since you're going to die anyway, there's no use trying to save him.?”
Zenith let out a laugh..
“Hey, Crown Prince. Have you ever seen someone who doesn't die??”
“…….”
“Of course, as long as we are human, we all die someday. But that doesn’t mean you won’t buy it??”
Even while carrying and carrying, Zenith continued to speak while casting healing magic on the two boys..
“Defeat is bitter! The death of colleagues is sad! If I go back to my hometown, I might die! Well, I understand the situation, but the job here is to save people..”
“I am…….”
Zenith smiled at Mikhail, who was speechless..
“You're still too young to die.”
“…….”
“Then I have to live.”
It was then.
nettle liquid-
I heard something falling from above my head..
Janice didn’t turn around. Just by looking at the white faces of the two boys in his arms, he could guess what was flying from above..
‘damn……!’
Zenith threw the two boys in her arms forward and used all her might to gather divine power into the form of armor..
Wow-!
The scarecrow that flew over Zenith's head swung down and struck her with his hand..
It was a careless movement, like swatting away a fly, but its power was terrifying. With a single blow, Zenith became exhausted and fell to the ground, then bounced up..
The Scarecrow Corps commander, convinced that Zenith had fallen, bent his neck and walked towards Mikhail..
《Don't leave anything behind after eating. We need to think about the blood and sweat of farmers. huh?》
“Ugh, ugh……!”
《Eat everything you eat, scraping it down to the last morsel. got it?》
The scarecrow commander, who was approaching with a smile, suddenly stopped..
When the corps commander looked down, he saw a hand grabbing his leg..
It was Zenith. He fell to the floor and held out his hand to stop his corps commander..
《It's extremely tough. They really need to be eradicated, those seabirds.…….》
“Hehe, I've tried farming... … ? All harmful birds are inherently tough.?”
Zenith forced herself to sit up, using healing magic on her body to fix her broken bones and reconnect her torn muscles..
And I had a hunch.
Ah, yes.
It's now.
flashing!
Zenith said, pouring out all of her divine power to form armor that covers her entire body and holding a long spear in her hand..
“Hannibal, go! hurry!”
The scarecrow commander laughed and rushed towards me..
Zenith, who barely avoided the attack, pierced the back of the hand of the scarecrow commander who had attacked with a spear of divine power and pinned him to the floor..
“If you go a little further, His Royal Highness will save you. So come on!”
“but!”
“I told you. You are still too young to die.”
At this moment, for the first time, Zenith looked directly at Hannibal and examined him carefully..
I inherited it from my parents, and have clear golden eyes and light brown hair..
There is no resemblance to myself... … his own son.
“I'm sorry for never being a father like you..”
“……!”
“Go quickly! I can't last long!”
At that moment, the scarecrow commander roared, pulled out his hand from the ground, and swung it..
With just a brush of the fingertips, all of Zenith's divine power armor was blown away. The sacred power helmet was shattered, leaving a long scar on Zenith's face..
But instead of backing down, Zenith gritted her teeth and was about to enter the final battle..
“You too are young, young man..”
Along with the red magic light, a cube made of magic appeared and imprisoned the scarecrow commander like a prison..
As everyone looked in shock, Diarmyuddin, covered in blood, flew through the air and stood still, staggering..
“Having only lived for 30 or 40 years, he became a man and a man, and continued to campaign. I think you're a boy too.”
“Dear Diermudin……!”
“It's an ancient sealing magic scroll. It's the only thing in our ivory tower..”
Damn it! So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such!
As the scarecrow commander ran wild inside the six-sided seal, a crack immediately appeared in the sealing wall made of magical power..
Diarmudin concentrated his mind and poured out his magic to repair the sealing wall..
“I'll hold on to you like this, so let's go.”
“but!”
Diarmudin glanced at Zenith who was trying to say something and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth..
“No, no. wait for a sec.”
“yes?”
“Before you go, please listen to my nagging one last time..”
“……?”
Suddenly he started nagging.
“First of all, you, young priest. Is excommunication a big deal? That's how life ends?”
“yes? no…….”
“I said I caused an accident and made people around me tired, so what? Basically, people are tired of each other. It's natural to live in trouble.”
“…….”
“Even when you think you're completely ruined, there's a way, and even when you think it's over, life will continue on and on. So, as long as your leg joints are fine, try walking more.!”
Janice opened her mouth slightly..
Diarmydin turned his head to Mikhail..
“And Crown Prince Michael. He's going to die just because he lost one battle? Don’t you know the saying, “Win, defeat, sickness, and victory are the best?” Do you know that I am still alive no matter how many times I have suffered defeat??”
“…….”
Mikhail also had a blank expression. Diarmudin continued with a stern expression..
“You will feel sick at your first failure. But there will be more failures in your life in the future. The world will knock you down again and again.”
Diarmudin nodded firmly..
“stand up shamelessly.”
“…….”
Mikhail clenched his fists with trembling hands..
Finally, Diarmudin looked at Hannibal and spoke softly..
“Don't be afraid of failure, boys. Don't be shy either. Just learn one lesson from one failure and move on..”
the old man grinned.
“That failure is your life.”
Damn it! So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such!
The sealing magic could not withstand and began to collapse. Diarmudin poured out all of his remaining magical power..
“Thank you for listening to my last nagging. I feel a bit relieved now. Come on, let's go!”
“Dear Diermudin……!”
“You're all too young to die here.”
Diarmudine shook his head as if he would no longer listen..
“It's the old man's job to make sacrifices.”
***
and at that moment.
“No, Diarmuddin..”
I broke in.
“Diarmuddin is also young..”
“……what?”
“For the rest of our lives, we are all young today..”
everyone looked at me.
Carrying the flagpole on my shoulder, I was out of breath as I ran quickly..
I wiped the sweat off my chin and smiled..
“We all deserve to die today... … Still young.”
The cliché of blocking the retreat and then sending your allies away while dying gracefully is... … It's a great role that everyone wants to play at least once..
Because it’s not my taste.
Diarmudin was dumbfounded by the fact that he was still young, or perhaps it was because the timing of my appearance was so surprising, but his mouth fell open..
“I am so sorry that I am late. I'm just on my way after clearing out all the regular scarecrows at the forward base..”
After planting the flagpole in the ground, I bent down and panted. Oh my, poor physical strength anyway. I feel like I'm going to die after just sprinting a bit..
“The raid leader is here, so let’s start the boss raid..”
“no… … You still don't understand the situation, Prince Ash?! We can't fight this monster on our own right now! I'll hold on to you with all my remaining magic power, so hurry up and run away.!”
“That is correct. It's a bit difficult for us alone..”
Raids usually can't be solved with just one party..
Damn it! So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such!
Inside the seal, the scarecrow commander began to riot even more violently. I slowly put my hand into my arms.
“therefore… … Let's increase the number of participants..”
What I took out of my inner pocket-inventory was a torch burning blue..
[Blue Flame Torch] was destroyed last time, but has been repaired.].
Clang-!
At that moment, the seal was broken and the scarecrow commander jumped out..
Diarmudin shouted something, but I didn't listen, so I turned towards the scarecrow commander who was running towards me.…….
Swish!
threw away the blue flame torch.
《This is it!》
The Scarecrow Corps commander threw it away in annoyance. The blue flame torch that bounced off the monster's arm spun around in the air..
As if drawing a circle.
And the next moment,
Toukwaang……!
I thought I heard a firing sound from afar.,
Going to school-!
A magical bullet struck the exact center of the scarecrow commander's chest..
《……?!》
The scarecrow commander who was rushing towards us was thrown backwards..
Rolling on the floor, the monster looked around as if it had no idea..
And my colleagues were also unable to understand the situation. I just smiled in front of him without saying a word..
It takes three days to ride a horse from Crossroads to this forward base..
It takes a day by horseback to get here from the nearest teleport gate..
but-
Doo doo doo doo…….
If it's private?
From Crossroads to here, in the blink of an eye.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
The sound of propellers seemed to be getting closer, and with the sound of the wind blowing, the flagship of our World Defense Front - Geronimo, rushed through the sky..
“Prince-!”
Damian, who was sitting in the open hatch and taking a sniping stance, screamed loudly..
“I'm sorry, prince! They said they would come as soon as the gate was destroyed, but it took some time because Geronimo was repairing it.-!”
“We'll talk later, Damian.!”
I pointed at the monster and shouted.
“Grind it!”
Instead of answering, Damian pulled the trigger..
Touquaaaaang!
