Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 582

◈ 582. [STAGE 35] Escape route

[[Excarnival]'s other name is Man-Eating Sword..

But in reality, it is a knife that can cut through just about anything. It was only given that name because the previous user, the Fallen King, was a man-eating, crazy ghost..

‘Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that it's a magic sword..’

It is a very evil Ego Sword that actively tries to pollute the user's mind..

I don't know if it was like this from the beginning or if it ended up like this after meeting the wrong owner.…….

Anyway, in principle, this knife can eat ‘anything’. Starting with arrows, it was a crazy weapon that not only used magic, but even destroyed castle walls in the game..

Then wouldn’t it be possible to eat that magic barrier??

I brought it up with this idea, but I can't just rush at those flies with this. My swordsmanship skills are too poor to go in and fight a musou with just one sword.…….

However, I can't give this kind of magic sword to my precious subordinates..

In the end my choice is.

“Body bag! Throw this.”

Blow your nose without using your hands!

The body bag's chubby cheeks trembled as it hesitantly approached my call..

“Uh, you mean this sword?……?”

“okay. Use your telekinesis to kill those flies. Lift it up and throw it. It's possible?”

“possible… … Let's do it. yes. It's possible, but…….”

Body Bag looked at X-Carnival with eyes filled with slight fear, as if he didn't feel like it..

A long sword with a blood-red blade wrapped in a black aura that falls alone as if possessed by a ghost... … Even when I look at it, it’s a bit like that..

Still, if you've already drawn your sword, shouldn't you have to cut down a fly?!

“Ugh…….”

Bodybag carefully lifted the X-Carnival with telekinesis, closed his eyes tightly, and threw it away..

nettle liquid!

Contrary to its half-hearted movements, Xcarnival flew towards the flies at a furious speed..

The mutant flies calmly tried to raise the barrier and defend themselves, but,

Sigh.!

As soon as the tip of Xcarnival's thrown sword touched the magic barrier, it disappeared as if it were being sucked into the inside of the sword..

X- Carnival flew into the arms of an empty variant Paris without a guard and was completely blown away! And fell into the arms of Paris.…….

Kwasik! Quack! Kwazisig!

I ate it up like a fly..

As if being sucked into a vacuum cleaner, the fly stung by the Excarnival's entire body was shattered and compressed, disappearing somewhere inside the knife..

“……Wow.”

It wasn't a very nice sight. Immediately after, I heard the gloomy voice of the Demon Sword in my head..

‘It's not tasty.-’

Shut up, you man-eating sword. I will make you be punished by eating flies for all the sins you have committed..

Anyway, it definitely worked. I nodded to Body Bag, and Body Bag quickly used his telekinesis to retrieve his magic sword and threw it again..

Kwasik! Quad Deuk! Kwasik-!

The mutant flies quickly died from the successive sword fighting..

Once hit by Xcarnival, everything was swallowed up by the sword. This demon sword guy complained that it wasn't delicious, but he continued to eat it because he was hungry..

“……In this battle, we see a lot of particularly terrible scenes..”

Junior, who was watching, muttered with a pale complexion. I answered quietly.

“You'll see more in the future.”

Not just this defensive battle. All remaining battles will be brutal and terrible..

This ‘game’ that stakes the fate of the world is now steadily heading towards its end..

Lately, I've been encountering monsters one after another that kidnap people, eat them, and take away their powers..

If my enemies judged this to be my weakness, it would not be surprising for monsters to come out to attack my weak points..

‘I can't help it.’

I have no choice but to make up my mind, grit my teeth, and fight on..

Quad deud deuk!

After a little more than ten mutant flies were eaten by the Excarnival throw..

Is it because the war situation is rapidly becoming unfavorable? The flies retreated all at once and escaped through the ceiling..

“What are you running away from?……?”

Actually, I felt fortunate because I was struggling quite a bit..

The magic wall was half destroyed, and most of the captured monsters suffered major and minor injuries. There were quite a few dead objects too..

Although the heroes were not seriously injured, they were quite exhausted. I was in desperate need of rest..

It was a time when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly..

《ash.》

A sudden, buzzing voice rang heavily in the wide belly of the fly..

Everyone was embarrassed and raised their weapons and looked around. I also looked around sharply, and the voice continued slowly..

《Why don't we stop fighting for a moment and talk?.》

Immediately after,

ring!

[The hostile corps commander ‘Beelzebub’ requested a ‘commander’s meeting’..]

A system window appeared before my eyes..

It was the commander's meeting that was sometimes used to have conversations with enemy corps commanders while declaring non-aggression against each other. It came to me from Lord of the Flies..

“…….”

I hesitated for a moment when I saw this message..

Was White Night a success??

If not……?

“hot.”

What should I do? I’m already in the tiger’s stomach..

I'll have to go and check it out in person..

“Everyone, prepare to retreat..”

I looked around at my men and nodded..

“I'll be gone for a while.”

***

After calming down his subordinates who were worried that it might be dangerous, he agreed to a meeting with the commander..

The meeting itself is an inviolable dialogue that has been held frequently. It won't be dangerous.

‘I'm just worried about the results of putting in the midnight sun.…….’

Anyway, as soon as I accepted the commander's meeting, my consciousness was transferred to a pure white space that I had never seen before..

I intuitively realized it.

This is inside the collective consciousness of Paris..

I don't know how I, a human, can come in here, but... … Was he able to come in because the Lord of the Flies invited him??

《You came.》

At that time, a voice came from behind. I turned around and looked that way..

“……!”

there was a mountain there.

It was a mountain of corpses piled high. Most of the corpses were flies, and all of them were headless, with only the body remaining..

In front of the mountain of grotesque corpses, there was an old fly sitting cross-legged with his back bent..

《I was waiting, Ash..》

The fly whispered in a strangely unpleasant voice that sounded like it was giggling..

《One of the imps I caught valued you very highly. He is the guardian of royalty and the undefeated commander. He tried to find a way to take you down, and ended up unearthing my existence from the unconsciousness of my species..》

“…….”

《So I wanted to meet you once..》

The old fly's compound eyes glowed an eerie red..

《But what can I say, I think you… … You don't seem much different from other weak humans..》

“…….”

《It looks like nothing more than a piece of meat that will soon rot and become food for maggots..》

I stopped at a distance and gestured..

“Are you Lord of the Flies??”

《‘You can say ‘I’ or ‘we’. Because I represent the collective consciousness of my species. Anyway, yeah. This is Beelzebub. It's Lord of the Flies in your language..》

Lord of the Flies looked at me intently. I looked around..

“Nice to meet you, Paris. By the way, have you seen my friend? He's a wizard named Byakuya..”

《white night… … ? Ah, is that the lich wizard who invaded the body of my people?.》

Lord of the Flies sneered.

《I ate it cleanly. Already digested, became one with me.》

“……!”

《It seems they thought they could eat me, but they were wrong. 'Cause I'm not just the sum of all the flies gathered here.》

Giggling… … . The Lord of the Flies' low laughter flowed. I asked, breaking into a cold sweat..

“If it's not just the total?”

《The soul and body of the race called Paris that has existed for so long, all of its spirit and body... … . In other words, even the souls of already dead flies. They are all elements that make up ‘us’.》

I frowned..

“What kind of nonsense is that?……?”

《It's literally.》

The Lord of the Flies pointed to himself with his ugly, hairy leg..

《I am a being sealed as the guardian deity of a race called Paris. I can twist the fate of my race to my will..》

I swallowed dry saliva..

Are you saying that this guy is also a representative of his race and has received godhood??

《And I broke with my own hands the cycle of reincarnation bestowed upon my race..》

“what?”

《It is for our great cause of killing everything in this world and being reborn as flies. Reincarnation must be stopped because once a person becomes a fly, he or she will continue to be a fly even if he or she is reincarnated in the afterlife. If you repeat this process, eventually all three thousand worlds will be filled with flies..》

It wasn't bullshit I could understand, but to sum it up roughly:.

Does this mean that he forcibly captured the souls of his dead compatriots and possessed them??

“Are you crazy??”

《giggle giggle…….》

As if the Lord of the Flies wasn't offended by my swearing, he let out an eerie laugh..

《There were some among my people who did not agree with this..》

Lord of the Flies pointed to the mountain of corpses piled up behind him..

《However, the backlash is only temporary, and the will to go against the group is digested..》

I looked up at the mountain of corpses in the collective consciousness..

“……It's good to say, it's digestion, doesn't mean you ate it in the end.?”

《It doesn't make much difference if you take it that way..》

Really, this is all... … Are you saying that they are the same people that the Lord of the Flies ate with his own hands??

《And the bodies and souls of those who died like this were stuffed and used as bricks to build this body..》

“…… So, the flies that make up this huge body of yours... … Do you mean that they are all your own people whom you killed with your own hands?.”

《In human understanding, that's what it means..》

‘In the name of ‘group’.

He kills those who go against his will, steals their souls, and uses them as structures to form his body..

He only keeps alive those who follow his will, feeds them, hatches them, and uses them as his subordinates..

Only then did I understand the insane size of Lord of the Flies..

If the spirit bodies of all the flies born and dead in the world were dragged into the structure and used as a structure, it would be possible to maintain this scale..

“……I thought it was some kind of special monster..”

And at the same time as I understood the structure, an unknown feeling of emptiness passed through me..

I muttered with a sneer on my face..

I couldn't understand everything Lord of the Flies said, but there was one thing that was within my realm of understanding..

“In the end, you were just another crazy monster, no different from other monster lords..”

This monster, which seemed infinitely incomprehensible, suddenly tumbled into the realm of understanding..

I stared at Lord of the Flies and chewed it up and spat it out..

“In the end, you are nothing more than an unscrupulous monarch who preyed on people who did not agree with his will and exploited them to the very end..”

《…….》

“The kind of king who literally views his people as nothing more than flies..”

everywhere in the world.

Such a trash king.

When I criticized him, a hint of displeasure came into Lord of the Flies’ voice..

《That sounds interesting. The me you understand is nothing more than a fragment. The truth I have realized and the cause I intend to carry out…….》

“I'm not curious about your cause..”

After interrupting the conversation, I raised my index finger and pointed at Lord of the Flies..

“You claim to represent the general will of your race, but in reality you are a common dictator who only pursues your own selfish desires while obliterating the will of your race..”

《no! The weighty and inexhaustible law of the universe that I want to spread throughout this world is-》

“Stop talking bullshit and shut the fuck up. I think you are…….”

I gave back exactly what the Lord of the Flies told me..

“You don't seem much different from other idiots who believe they are different and special..”

I chewed each and every word and spit them out at the Lord of the Flies who was staring at me as if I was bewildered..

“A midsummer dung fly that will soon be eradicated, quickly forgotten and disappearing. You bastard.”
