Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 574
◈ 574. [STAGE 35] Find The Way (2)
The combined magic of each attribute unleashed by dozens of wizards at the same time poured in with tremendous power..
The swarm of flies rushing towards Royalty's defense line was instantly extinguished, and the magic poured towards the main body of the Lord of the Flies without losing any momentum..
Currently, Lord of the Flies has lost its magic defense due to [element disintegration]..
In this situation, if you are directly hit by a joint magic of this scale, you are bound to suffer enormous damage..
‘this works!’
Junior was confident. That gigantic monster will surely fall with a terrible scream.…….
but.
Piiiiiiing!
The monster of the mythical era responded.
The two halos remaining above the Lord of the Flies' head spun violently, and the outer halo of the two began to glow white..
Lord of the Flies stretched out his hundreds of legs in all directions,
Take a look-!
We held our hands together in front of our chests..
Whoa whoa!
Immediately after, a huge shock wave poured out from Lord of the Flies..
The intangible shock wave that poured out collided with the magic unleashed by human wizards..
and,
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!
Cheonggrang… … ! Cheonggang……!
The magic disappeared as if disintegrating..
The fierce flames that seemed to engulf the world, the high tsunami that seemed to have no end in sight, the landslides that seemed to turn the world upside down, the tornadoes that seemed to tear the sky apart, and the lightning that was as dazzling as the flash of the beginning, all of it.…….
scattered in vain.
“……This…….”
Junior, who was facing this phenomenon with his mouth wide open, stuttered..
“This is not just a dispel, this is……!”
Fragmented magic particles were scattered in the air, shining into hundreds of rainbows with a dazzling halo of light..
In the center of the rainbow group, the Lord of the Flies calmly stopped in the air, slowly stretching out his hundreds of legs around him..
In the midst of the clear, sparkling light that seemed to have passed through a prism, the huge, shiny Lord of the Flies suddenly seemed divine..
And at the same time, it was extremely profane..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-
The white halo above the Lord of the Flies' head turned into powder and disappeared. Now there's only one Halo left.
The next moment, the Lord of the Flies stretched out all his hundreds of arms forward..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
I love you so much!
An enormous number of flies, incomparable in size to the swarm of flies in front, escaped from the Lord of the Flies' entire body..
Junior had a hunch as he saw the swarm of flies rushing in at once..
must step down.
Otherwise, you will die here..
“Everyone, retreat! retreat!”
Retreat training had been conducted in advance. Junior shouted at the top of his voice and led the wizards to the teleportation gate..
“Everyone, to Crossroads! retreat-!”
Ding den den den den-!
The retreat notification sounded, and wizards and soldiers rushed into the teleport gate..
There was chaos in front of the teleport gate. Troops coming to support late, troops screaming and trying to run away... … Everyone was mixed up and a mess..
The good news was that everyone was well trained. Since it was a defensive operation that was initially assumed to be a one-shot escape, the retreat was carried out quickly..
Soon, the Crossroads side recognized that it was a retreat situation and no more troops came out, and the tangled ranks on this side gradually calmed down and everyone was able to enter the gate one by one..
The problem was that the flies were getting closer at this hour..
Kwasik-!
Flies hit their heads on the temporarily installed barrier magic circle and protective artifacts..
It was a barrier and protective artifact that focused on physical defense. It was not something that could be broken by a simple body blow from flies..
However, the number of flies was outside the normal range. Even if I left, I stayed away for a long time..
Blah blah, blah blah……!
As countless flies clung to and pushed against it, the barrier quickly began to crack.…….
Clang-!
Eventually it broke..
There were dozens of layers of barrier magic on the base, but they were torn apart from the outside to the inside like a piece of paper..
People screamed and jumped into the teleportation gate..
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! It's so fucking scary!”
The warlock hurriedly created two legs with black magic and ran to the teleportation gate, bound in chains - the chains gritted their teeth..
“From now on, if I take out the trash on time, don't leave fruit peels piled up, and do anything that helps flies breed, I'll be in trouble! fuck!”
Chain reached in front of the teleport gate and looked back with a sigh of relief..
I just saw the terrifying sight of the last barrier being torn apart..
I love you so much!
Flies swarming through the torn cracks invaded, thrusting their legs like gnats. It was a terrible sight, like something out of a dream..
Chain quickly turned around again to jump into the teleportation gate..
and at that moment,
“……?”
something was visible.
When Chain, embarrassed, turned around again, he saw Candler in the center of the defense line, crouching and hiding behind the collapsed outer wall, shivering..
“candler?!”
The flagship chain roared..
“What are you doing there, you old lady! come fast-!”
“…….”
But Candler seemed not to hear what Chain said, and just crouched down and trembled..
She, who had developed a fear of monsters during the Battle of the Gorgon Sisters, is now completely panicked in front of the enormous army of Paris..
“Tsk!”
Gritting his teeth, Chain ran towards Candler..
Junior, who was checking the number of people next to the teleport gate until the end, was shocked..
“chain?! what are you doing now-”
“Candler is over there! I need to get it!”
The chain flew out, and Junior gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky. Insect monsters were pouring down like bubbling tar..
“Really... … It's not easy……!”
The [Lord of Crimson] in Junior's hand spewed out pre-cast attack magic in all directions along with a bloody flash..
flashing-!
A huge thunderbolt crossed the sky, burning all the monsters it encountered to a pitch black color..
While Junior was biding his time, Chain quickly reached Candler's side. Chain shouted..
“Candler! Come to your senses, idiot! I want to die here?!”
“Ah, uh……?”
“Okay, stay still.!”
Chain grabbed Candler by the back and lifted him up, then sprinted toward the teleport gate..
Black magic uses stored life force as fuel..
Thanks to this, the chain was able to move explosively, but in real time, it was changing from a boy's face to its original appearance of an old man..
And even though I used all my strength to move, I couldn't make it in time..
The monsters fell like a waterfall as they intercepted Junior's magic with their bodies..
Chain felt death looming right over his head. The warlock muttered bitterly..
“By the way, it doesn't stick to my feet dirty today.…….”
Chain then moved his hand made of black magic and threw Candler's backside into the teleportation gate with all his might..
Only then did Candler come to his senses..
Candler and Chain were thrown into the gate and their eyes met..
Chain swore with the wrinkled face of an old man..
“You're not in your right mind-”
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The next moment, without even a scream, the chain was buried in countless swarms of flies..
Flash! flashing-!
Junior tried to somehow use his magic to save the chain, but when he realized he couldn't hold on any longer, he tried to throw himself into the teleportation gate..
At that moment, a swarm of flies crushed the teleport gate with their bodies..
Quad deuk!
The teleportation gate, simply crushed by mass, was instantly destroyed. Junior closed her eyes tightly as she watched the magic door close in vain..
“this…….”
Those murmurs were Junior's last words..
thud!
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The teleport gate was completely destroyed..
Candler, who was thrown out of the teleportation gate and toward the crossroads, lifted his trembling body from the floor and looked forward..
Took, Toduk…….
Several stones that passed together bounced off the floor and rolled to Candler's feet. Afterwards, the magic stone that made up the gate collapsed..
Junior and Chain did not appear until the end..
“…….”
Ash and Diarmudin rushed behind Candler, who opened his mouth and was unable to speak..
Ash turned his head and looked around and shouted..
“What happened... … Junior! Report the situation!”
“…….”
“Where did Junior go? Hey, doesn't anyone know where Junior is??”
Candler covered his mouth with both hands as if he was about to vomit..
Because of my stupid behavior,
Now, what happened??
***
“…….”
Manor house. my room.
I was in silence with both hands on my forehead..
A little while ago, two wizards failed to return from the second defense line battle..
Junior and Chain.
2 awakened wizards belonging to the front line.
Although the death has not been confirmed... … In this situation, you must judge calmly..
Missing in action while fighting a monster is virtually the same as death..
When Candler, who had been mobilized to build a defense line, fell behind, the two wizards who went out to rescue him were unable to escape..
Candler cried out that it was his fault, then passed out and was taken to the temple..
Quite a few heroes glared at her as if scolding her... … Whose fault is this situation?.
With the enemy's advance imminent, the situation was so urgent that even ordinary people, not mercenaries, had to be mobilized for construction work..
In this situation, the monster again increased its advance speed and made a surprise attack..
It is not uncommon for ordinary workers or retired mercenaries to be terrified in front of the Lord of the Flies, whose morale is so strong that even the heroes on the field are sick of it..
Also, the good intentions of Chain and Junior who threw themselves in to save their former colleague who was in such panic. There was nothing wrong.
Kelly Sondo went out of his way to add firepower to the front line, and Kelly Baydo went too far to save his fallen son.…….
No one had any malicious intent. I'm just fighting as hard as I can.
But the situation was sinking into the mud..
‘It reminds me of the time of the Goblin God King..’
They struggle to save each other, but the war situation worsens..
It's an irony of the battlefield that you might be used to by now, but it was painful every time I experienced it..
‘How much did you lose just today??’
With weakly trembling hands, I picked up the quill and wrote down the lives and supplies lost today..
‘Kelly Bay, Kelly Thorn, 50 dwarven craftsmen and crew, two airships, plus Junior and Chain.…….’
When I thought about Junior, my mind went blank..
Among the leading heroes, this wizard was especially helpful to me. Her countless battles and her adventures flashed through her mind..
I never thought I would lose so vainly in a place like this.…….
“lord.”
At that time, Lucas came into my room and reported in a businesslike tone..
“Lord of the Flies' progress has stopped..”
“…….”
“It is said that it stopped in the air above the captured second defense line. As you know, it's a day's ride from Crossroads..”
As I listened quietly with my head covered, Lucas spoke calmly..
“My lord. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault..”
“……What are you talking about. It's all my fault.”
“The Lord ordered an operation to return safely after the attack. It was an operation that both the air fleet and wizards could easily pull off..”
“…….”
“The Lord cannot lead the army in every field. Do not try to take responsibility for all losses caused by the mistakes of field commanders and soldiers..”
“Variables arise on the battlefield..”
I pressed my forehead with my fingertips..
“My role is to give orders so that operations can be carried out safely even including those variables..”
“…….”
“I can't believe that the overall plan of the operation is shaken so much because a monster that I don't know how to attack properly appears.…….”
“lord.”
Lucas looked straight at me with his bright blue eyes..
“The opponent is a monster that almost destroyed the world once. And the monsters we have to face in the future are also the same..”
“…….”
“There is no such thing as a safe and perfect strategy to deal with these powerful enemies. I have no choice but to fight at the risk of loss..”
I know too.
Until now and in the future.
The front line here will be made into a wall that blocks the enemy by piling up death. however.
It can't be helped if you feel like vomiting blood…….
“In just one day, Lord of the Flies will reach the monster front. The priority now is to find a way to defeat him..”
I nodded..
Yes, the end of the world is just around the corner..
Even this time of mourning and counting the lost men is a luxury..
“You're right, Lucas..”
I took a breath and stood up. Then I opened the drawer of the desk I was sitting on..
“There is no such thing as a safe and perfect operation. The more likely number… … I just do my best to find it.”
Although it is an imperfect and dangerous operation,.
I have no choice but to bet on this now..
“I have no choice but to embrace the risk.”
What I took out of the drawer…….
It was a mechanical device that looked similar to a tablet PC on Earth..
***
Beep.
The machine turned on with an operating sound..
next moment,
《Heo Eok?!》
Data showing a white skull appeared on the screen and I took a deep breath..
《Hehehe, hehehe… … what's this… … ? I am now……?》
“It's been a while, brain in a vat.”
Immediately after, I corrected the other person’s name..
“no… … white night.”
I looked at the data lump lich facing me, shaking, and asked coldly:.
“How is life in purgatory? Is it worth enduring??”
