Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 583
◈ 583. [STAGE 35] Escape route (2)
《……Why did I bother to invite you and talk to you?.》
Lord of the Flies let out a long sigh and let out a quiet sigh..
《Because in the memories of that imp and that lich, you were the best human. That's why I thought it was worth having a conversation with you. I was hoping that maybe you would understand what I meant, but.》
“…….”
《I guess that wasn't the case..》
“It's funny. The courtesy would have been something like letting them be eaten by more advanced maggots..”
I also let out a sigh..
“Is there anything else you want to say? I think the meeting time is slowly coming to an end. I don't have any last words to say?”
《you… … You've probably never tried to understand the world seen from our Parisian perspective. So you don't know. Our Paris-》
“Hey Lord of the Flies.”
I stopped talking and spat out coldly..
“I don't want to hear that from a guy who kills all his fellow countrymen just because they don't agree with him, stuffed them and uses them as body frames..”
《……!》
“I think it would be right for you to try to properly understand the perspectives of your people..”
As if out of luck, the Lord of the Flies was caught off guard..
I whipped back..
Questions and answers with monsters are always empty, but they are still fruitless..
‘Meanwhile, Lord of the Flies was an unknown enemy..’
A monster you've never seen in a game.
It was an enemy who wanted to destroy the world, with motives unknown to me, for purposes unknown to me, and in ways unknown to me..
That's why I was honestly afraid of Lord of the Flies..
However, through our conversation earlier, I came to understand him a little bit..
And understanding is.
This is the first step toward strategy..
I walked slowly to the end of this white space. I was wondering if I could combine the information I gained from the previous conversation with the existing information and use it for a strategy..
It was then.
《baby… … pee……!》
I heard a familiar voice.
When I turned around in puzzlement, I saw the midnight sun with only the head remaining at the bottom of the corpse mountain..
“white night?!”
It hasn't worked yet?
She had her mouth open and was desperately trying to form words..
《Send me more... … ! then……!》
next moment.
Kwasik!
The Lord of the Flies' legs roughly grabbed Byakuya's head and violently crushed it..
The monster’s red compound eyes stared at me emotionlessly. I also glared at him..
and-
***
“……omg!”
I suddenly opened my eyes.
As I quickly looked around, I saw my colleagues surrounding me and watching me with nervous expressions. I asked urgently.
“How much time has passed since I lost my mind?”
Junior answered after lifting the pocket watch from his chest and examining it..
“30This is you.”
10Turn. That's accurate.
“Are the preparations for retreat complete??”
“yes. Just give instructions and you can escape one by one..”
“Okay, let's get started..”
I know how to deal with mutant entities, and my understanding of Lord of the Flies itself has improved considerably. It would be right to retreat without overdoing it..
First, the Verdandi party used the dungeon escape teleport scroll. Since it was a party wearing light armor, minor injuries were severe..
Verdandi and the party members, who smiled and waved at me, soon disappeared in a flash. Okay, I sent a team..
“Kuilan Party, followed by…….”
It was before I could even finish speaking..
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….
Lord of the Flies' entire body began to vibrate violently..
The floor was shaking, and the atmosphere in the area felt like it was boiling. Everyone looked at each other in confusion..
“What is this??!”
“Everyone hold on tight!”
And the next moment.
Take a look-!
There was a loud sound as if hundreds of legs were hitting each other at once, followed by.
Whoa whoa!
A huge shock wave poured down from the head of the Lord of the Flies. We all screamed and barely managed to keep our balance..
After a while, when the shock wave passed and the area became quiet, we managed to get up and look at each other..
“Oh my, my waist... … everyone is okay?”
“Yes, we are fine. Your Majesty?”
“I'm fine too. Damn, what was that anyway??”
Kelly Bay said, wiping away a cold sweat..
“I've experienced this shock wave before.”
“Before? when?”
“When the air fleet stopped him, the moment he took off our magic barrier... … I felt a shock wave like this.”
Junior, who was standing next to me with a pale face, stuttered to answer..
“2Even when we used joint magic at the car defense line, when the Lord of the Flies blocked our magic... … I felt the same shock wave.”
Junior lightly clapped his hands in front of his chest as if imitating Lord of the Flies..
“When the Lord of the Flies puts his hands together like this while breaking the ring above his head... … As our magic technology becomes nullified, at the same time…….”
Junior said quietly.
“‘I felt a sense of being taken away..”
“taken away……?”
“yes. The entire magic unleashed by our wizards did not simply disappear... … It's like I'm being eaten as a concept…….”
I bit my lip..
It was this joint that eliminated the secret barrier, and it was this joint that eliminated the combined magic of Junior and the wizards..
So what did they get rid of this time?……?
“……Leader.”
At that time, Kuilan looked in my direction and muttered awkwardly..
“Scrolling doesn't work.”
“what?”
Everyone looked at him in shock. Kuilan waved the scroll in his hand with a blank face..
The scroll that had lost its magic light had turned into a dull colored parchment..
Everyone checked their teleport scrolls. Damn it, all the scrolls had lost their magic..
“The teleport scroll, all... … It has lost its effectiveness?”
Everyone looked at me in confusion. I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it..
This dungeon escape teleport scroll was the only means of escape we had. I believed only in this and went around stabbing the enemy's stomach like this..
If this becomes unusable, then…….
“The problem is that escape has become impossible, Your Majesty..”
Junior spoke in a calm but trembling voice..
“Just as the secret barrier technology was taken away, this teleport was also... … There is a possibility that it was taken away by enemies..”
“……!”
What if Lord of the Flies really stole teleportation technology?.
He can instantly teleport to the Crossroads walls.……!
“What should I do, Your Highness?! Still, I have to escape from here first.…….”
“But if Lord of the Flies teleports to Crossroads like this,-”
“Then should we hold out here too??”
“But this is the enemy's base! I can't hold out if more enemy monsters come pouring in.…….”
It was at that moment when the heroes exchanged urgent words..
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
Strong footsteps began to sound from upstairs. We all closed our mouths and looked up at the same time..
and… … through the hole in the ceiling.
I could clearly see mutant flies pouring down from the upper floors..
Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.…….
There seemed to be hundreds of them..
“……Holy shit.”
I muttered it, and everyone guessed it..
I can't handle this..
“Run downstairs, hurry-!”
As soon as I shouted, the heroes quickly jumped into the hole leading downstairs..
As he fell through the hole, the Burnout remaining at the rear fired explosive bolts upward..
pop! bub bub bub bung!
Mutant flies crawling out through a narrow hole were caught in a huge explosion..
……And, instead of dying, it began to fall towards us through the flames..
Next to Burnout, Body Bag also tried to stop the guys by throwing and recovering the X-Carnival..
However, since it was a running situation, the motion of throwing and retrieving the sword was slow and less accurate..
“Hercules-!”
As I shouted, Hercules, who had been falling down next to me, spread his large beetle wings and soared upward..
Kwasik-!
Hercules valiantly impaled the leading mutant fly to death..
However, the next moment, he was surrounded by dozens of mutant flies, and the mutant flies simultaneously stabbed Hercules with the long stingers attached to the ends of their bellies..
Gooooooooooo…….
Hercules trembled and fell down. Damn it, is it poison??!
widely!
After getting downstairs, I urgently canceled the summoning of Hercules and stored it in subspace..
I tried to give orders to other captured monsters, but the captured monsters did not listen to my commands and were running away in all directions..
‘what?!’
When Hercules, a corps commander-level captured monster, went down, the loyalty of all captured monsters plummeted..
In the first place, most of the captured monsters were units transferred from Jackal. But these were not as loyal subordinates as the jackals..
The loyalty, which is not very high, has been compensated by the effect of the ultimate [Frontmost Flag]. Since the walls had been disarmed due to the escape, there was no longer any cover..
Hercules' defeat caused morale to plummet and the unit disintegrated, so-called 'moral bread' in game terms..
This was not a mental condition, but a loyalty management issue, so it was a situation that even my [Indomitable Commander] could not prevent..
The captured monsters each tried to find a way to survive and run away, or surrender to the flies. I ground my teeth..
“These idiots……!”
And the Paris Legion was not merciful enough to accept surrender, nor was it lax enough to let those who lost their discipline and run away live..
Sigh! Pukak! Phuwak……!
The legions of captured monsters were slaughtered from all directions. I trembled and looked away..
“Kraken! dragging time!”
Kuoooooo-!
The Kraken roared and rose up, swinging its tentacles to swarm mutant flies in all directions..
The mutated flies fired poisonous stings at the Kraken just like Hercules, but the Kraken, which was immune to the poison status condition, tolerated it..
However, as the sharp front legs of hundreds of mutant flies cut into his entire body, he was unable to hold on and let out a miserable scream..
Kuoooooo……!
“shit!”
I felt sick to my stomach when I saw my pet being treated so cruelly..
Still, since the Kraken is a monster that can be summoned once per three stages, it had to be used sparingly to buy time in this situation..
Cracking!
I don't know how many floors I jumped down like that..
The Kraken was no longer visible, and as if we had killed it, hundreds of mutated flies came pouring down after us..
‘Pfft……!’
The people currently on the run are Kuilan and 5 members of the punishment unit. Me, Body Bag, Burnout, Junior, Kelly Bay, Kelly Son.
This configuration is not enough to deal with monsters of that level..
If he's a junior, there's a chance, but he's currently extremely exhausted, so it's impossible to even use basic magic..
After landing, I gritted my teeth as I ran toward the next hole..
‘As it is……!’
At that moment, the lead mutant fly performed a smooth aerobatics, dodged all of Burnout's suppressing fire, and lunged at me..
“Pfft……?!”
The moment I grit my teeth and try to find a way to fight back.
Suddenly, a huge shield rose up before my eyes..
bang-!
The scythe-like forelimbs and shield of a mutant fly collided..
I was surprised and looked at the owner of the shield. The sight of a familiar giant wearing a helmet caught my eye..
“Thorkell……!”
“Are you okay, Your Majesty??”
Tsukaak-!
Then, a clean beam split the air..
The sharp sword strike even cut the magic barrier in two and cut the mutant fly in half..
The blind swordsman Nobody appeared rolling around on the floor with his long sword drawn..
crackling-!
Then, three people came up through the hole in the lower floor and stood side by side in front of me..
It was Zenith, Diarmudin, and Lucas..
Zenith wore divine power armor all over her body and sprayed wide-area healing magic, while Diarmudin waved his beard and prepared flame magic with both hands..
“Sorry for being late, my lord..”
Lucas reported while calmly drawing the [granted sword] in the very center..
“I searched for survivors all the way downstairs, but found no one. Instead, I incinerated the fly eggs cleanly before returning..”
Lucas muttered coldly..
“I will join you. My lord, I give you an order..”
The faces of not only me but all of us who were running away in a panic were filled with emotion and relief..
This is the first time in my life that I’ve been so happy to meet these old men..
