Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 575
◈ 575. [STAGE 35] Find The Way (3)
The white night was divided into two and both died..
The magic tower lord Baekya died when the magic tower collapsed, and the Jiangshi Baekya died during the party operation..
Physically, he died like that. That's why I was able to obtain the twin magic cores..
However, the consciousness of the magic tower lord Byakuya was transferred to this mechanical device with the collapse of the magic tower, and later the consciousness was forcibly exchanged with the Jiangshi Byakuya..
I'm speechless... … Anyway, what is now contained in this mechanical device is the consciousness of the midnight sun that has been cloned and imprisoned..
I thought about getting rid of the entire machine, but I kept it just in case.…….
I never thought there would come a situation where I would really have to take it out..
“How is life in purgatory, is it worth enduring??”
When I asked mockingly, Byakuya trembled and looked around..
《How much time has passed since you locked me here?》
“Well, about half a year?”
《what?! Oh, don't be ridiculous, it's only half a year... … ?! My consciousness has been locked up for almost eons……!》
Does time pass slowly in the darkness of that switched-off mechanical device? No, does time actually pass in the first place?.
There was no way I could understand the experience of data consciousness inside a machine, but it didn't seem like living there was very comfortable. This was good information for me.
I have to threaten this data lump lich from now on..
“white night. I ask without any hesitation.”
I nodded and coldly exhaled..
“Do you want to stay stuck there, or… … Do you want to get a new body?.”
《…….》
“Don't ask twice. Make a decision right now.”
I could feel the skull-shaped chunk of data looking perplexed. Richie, who was stuttering, managed to ask back..
《If you refuse?》
“I'm going to switch it off again. You just have to keep thinking in the darkness as you have been doing..”
Byakuya, who was trembling, eventually muttered softly..
《……Dao.》
“hmm?”
《The body, please... … ! Please, please... … Don't leave me trapped in this place where there is nothing……!》
I smiled while looking at the begging Byakuya..
“good. I agreed.?”
I took the mechanism containing the midnight sun and left my office..
“Then, shall we go see your new body now??”
The place we headed to was the backyard of the manor house..
Here is the new ‘body’ of the midnight sun that I have prepared for you..
I brought Baekya's mechanism to the front of the 'body' lying flat on a white blanket in the backyard, then turned the screen to show Baekya..
“Okay, this is it..”
《……what?》
Byakuya was visibly embarrassed and asked me urgently:.
《Wait, you're kidding.?》
“no. It's not a joke.”
《right… … Do not be ridiculous. Now to me…….》
Byakuya let out a scream full of anger..
《I'm telling you to enter the body of a fly.?!》
Yes.
What lies before me now is the most intact of the enemy corpses salvaged during the battle..
It's a fly the size of a large dog..
“why? It's possible?”
I chuckled..
“You are a strongman. rich. He's a wizard who can transfer consciousness into the body of an undead. This fly is also a corpse, and all you have to do is turn it into a jiangshi with your magic and then transfer your consciousness to it..”
《It's not a question of possible or impossible.!》
The midnight sun trembled..
《Don't be funny, don't be funny... … ! I am white night. That magic emperor! How could I... … Like this... … With the body of a dirty bug…….》
“Then go back into the darkness of the abyss.”
When I put my hand on the switch of the mechanism, Byakuya shouted urgently..
《Now, wait! wait for a sec! Just that, please!》
I clicked my tongue and glared at the midnight sun..
“Hey, white night. Don't try to negotiate with me. You can't choose an option in the first place..”
《…….》
“Choose. Would you still be in reality even if you were a fly? Or just continue stubbornly… … I want to stay stuck in that darkness?”
The trembling Baekya stammered and asked me.
《Explain... … . What do you want me to do, put you in the body of a fly like this?.》
I grinned. It's all over.
To this extent, I can say that step 1 of my plan has been achieved..
***
In order to place the consciousness of the midnight sun into the body of a fly, work began on turning the corpse of the fly into a jiangshi..
While our wizards were preparing according to White Night's instructions, Diarmudin, who had joined late as the leader of the wizards, called me with a pale complexion..
“Prince Ash. There's something you need to see right now..”
“yes?”
“Okay, this way. hurry.”
Diarmudin took the lead and ran to the teleport gate and quickly threw himself inside. I followed in too..
The place we arrived at was the scout tower.).
It is a spire built on a mountain far away from the monster invasion route, and is being built to monitor the overall enemy invasion status..
The reconnaissance base originally used collapsed during the previous defensive battle, so it was being moved here... … It has not yet been completed and is not functioning properly..
Anyway, why are we here??
“I wanted to somehow see the Lord of the Flies a little closer, so I looked here.…….”
Diarmudin handed me a telescope..
“See for yourself.”
“……?”
I put my eye on the telescope.
The Lord of the Flies stood still in the distant sky. He was floating above the mountains and fields on a dark night, in the posture of a Buddha statue in meditation..
“I see Lord of the Flies, but what?…….”
I was speechless..
sparkle.
This was because a faint magic light suddenly twinkled on the side of Lord of the Flies' large ship..
sparkle. sparkle. sparkle.
Yellow, light green, blue.
Three colors of magical light were blinking at regular intervals..
Am I seeing something wrong now??
I rubbed my eyes and put them back on the telescope..
But it wasn't in vain. There was no doubt that he was a truly shining magical maniac..
“That light... … No way, a signal?”
No matter how you look at it, it was clearly an artificial signal..
Diarmudin explained to me as I was confused..
“It's the type of light that wizards leave in their workshops. Leave a mark with your main magic element.”
“……!”
“And those three colors... … There is only one wizard on this front who can control all three attributes of lightning, wind, and water..”
I lowered the binoculars and glanced at Diarmudine..
“……junior.”
Diarmudin nodded calmly. I couldn't believe it and muttered in a daze..
“Are you saying he's alive, Junior??”
***
“Hmm~”
Junior stretched out in a swimsuit..
A southern resort filled with quality sunlight.
It was an afternoon while I was lying on a sunbed next to a swimming pool filled with cold water and reading the magic book I was studying..
Water droplets formed on the surface of a drink glass filled with ice and slid down. Junior took a sip from his drink through the straw..
“Ha, good.”
Junior pulled up the sunglasses he was wearing and looked up at the sun beyond the parasol and muttered..
“Everything is perfect... … Now all I have to do is find a great lover…….”
As soon as I could say anything, someone came next to me, footsteps sounding loud..
‘what? really?’
Junior was slightly excited and slowly turned his head in that direction..
‘who the hell?’
And then, what appeared with the dazzling sun at its back was…….
“wake up.”
……He was a stocky bald old man..
With a face covered in blood and sweat, tension and fatigue... … Dwarf old man with dirty beard.
“uh?”
Junior, unable to adapt to the sudden change in situation, made a stupid noise..
No, I still don't know my own tastes. Anyway, I don't think this is right.……?
Then the bald bearded dwarf gritted his teeth and suddenly waved his hand..
“Wake! I told you to wake up!”
match-!
My cheeks turned and stars appeared before my eyes..
Only then did Junior wake up. She jumped up from her lying position, bouncing her upper body like a spring..
“omg… … omg……?”
Junior, who was breathing heavily, looked around and realized where he was..
It was inside a huge, shiny black structure..
The surrounding area is filled with huge fly eggs..
And various animals and plants piled up like a mountain.…….
“This is the stomach of the Lord of the Flies... … hatchery…….”
Junior, who was shaking, suddenly looked to the side. She saw huge maggots swarming over the paralyzed body of a large, sleeping goat..
Junior was about to scream out of reflex, but the dwarf's broad hand covered her mouth. Junior could barely hold back her screams..
“Shh!”
The dwarf whispered desperately, holding his breath..
“calm down. Calm! If we scream, we'll all die. So shh……!”
Only then did the true Junior realize who the other person was. Junior caught his breath and whispered.
“……Kelly Bay? You were alive.……!”
“Of course he's alive. I think the last survivor of the Golden Bough Expedition will die in a place like this.?”
Kelly Bay, who grumbled, lowered her posture to a point where she almost squatted down, and then took the lead, gesturing with her hands. Junior crawled on her heels and followed suit..
swarming…….
Right next to where she left, maggots were feasting on goat meat..
Junior felt sick when he realized that if he had stayed asleep just a little longer, he would have been like that too..
She eagerly followed Kelly Bay and crawled through the burrow..
It didn't take long before we found ourselves in a spacious room. All the survivors belonging to the World Defense Front were gathered here. I saw the kelly hand, the chain, everything..
“Everyone was safe.……!”
When Junior smiled, Kelly Thorn smiled bitterly and his lips trembled..
“……I think it's still too early to say that..”
“yes?”
“Shh! Everyone get down!”
As soon as Kelly Bay spoke, everyone fell to the floor as if they had made a promise..
Junior was embarrassed, but Kelly Bay, who was lying down first, made a hasty gesture and he fell to the floor..
Doo doo doo doo…….
Soon, hundreds of adult flies appeared in the passage next to the room..
Each of them came carrying paralyzed deer, antelopes, bison, etc., and piled them up in the next room, before rushing out again..
“……This is literally their stomach.”
When all the adult flies disappeared, Kelly Bay whispered..
“We were captured as food. If I were to be paralyzed, I would be food for maggots..”
“How did you get rid of paralysis?……?”
“We dwarves have thick skin. Paralyzing needles don't work in the first place..”
Dwarves, as a race, have high resistance to physical abnormalities. It seemed like he benefited from that..
However, among the fallen crew members, there were still many who could not wake up. Kelly Bay sticks her tongue out.
“……I was lucky too. My friends who are severely paralyzed are still unconscious..”
When Junior looked, Chain was still unconscious..
It seems that Kelly Bay was going around this hatchery, rescuing survivors and bringing them back here..
“so… … What should I do now??”
Adult flies came swarming once again. Junior fell to the floor, pretending to be dead, and whispered to Kelly Bay..
“I can't lie here like this forever.!”
“I need to escape.”
“escape? how?”
At that time, Kelly Thorn crawled up next to me and answered with a grin..
“Dwarf specialty.”
chuck! chuck! chuck!
As soon as the words were spoken, the dwarves, laughing bloodily, each took out a tool from their arms and held it..
“I have to dig a hole.”
Junior gaped at the absurdity, but Kelly Thorn carefully took out his hammer and winked at Kelly Bay..
“My father put me in a crypt and raised me from a very young age, all for a day like today. Isn't that right??”
“Well then. Our species has been preparing for a day like today.……!”
The dwarf father and son grinned evilly and placed their tools on the hatchery floor..
“Let's drill a hole in the monster's stomach.……!”
“Very, very big!”
