Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 585

◈ 585. [STAGE 35] Lord of the Flies

《…….》

Inside the mental world of Lord of the Flies.

The old fly, sitting in zazen, was calmly contemplating ‘their’ condition..

‘It's not in perfect condition..’

First, we looked at the means taken from humans..

Concept predation).

It is a new power that was created when the demonic species Imp and Flies merged..

Sacrifice the other person in their entirety, preying on them like flies and taking them away..

‘You're really useful, imp..’

Old Paris once again expressed his gratitude to the imp..

Small and insignificant... … Even though he had forgotten his name, the things the imp had prepared for him were so useful that he couldn't help but feel grateful..

Anyway, the power taken away through this concept predation is three..

Barrier, attribute magic, and teleportation.

Barriers and magic would be useful, but old Paris was hesitant to use teleportation..

This is because I realized that this magic is fundamentally a means of accessing the other side of the world..

‘Is it magic to teleport through the other side of the world?…….’

They are the beings who were eventually revived from the nightmare beneath the Lake Kingdom..

Beyond the Other Side - It was obvious that if I entered the spirit world, I would be swept away and not be able to return to this world..

It was the same reason why other nightmare legions could not use teleportation gates..

‘But, because of that.’

Old Paris giggled evilly and folded his hands in front of his chest..

‘It could be useful.’

Putting aside the means he had taken from his enemies, the old fly now surveyed the remaining resources of his race as Lord of the Flies..

‘Many of the eggs stored in the hatchery were burned due to the infiltrating humans..’

The flies resurrected in the nightmare of the Lake Kingdom were unable to lay new eggs, so they had no means of replenishing lost eggs on their own..

It wasn't just eggs. While coming here, I spent a lot of adult flies to obtain information about the world. Power consumption was greater than expected.

‘But there are still eggs left..’

Many of the hatchery's eggs were burned, but the remaining eggs are safely stored..

All of these eggs will give birth to a new generation of flies..

The chimeric flies sent out earlier were just the beginning..

The plan was to continuously pour in all the essence that could be injected and conceive the strongest fly..

As the number of eggs in an individual increases, the process of metamorphosis from egg to maggot, maggot to pupa, and back to adult becomes extremely slow..

The result was satisfactory. Each new generation of flies was a powerful monster, and they continued to become more powerful..

‘All remaining eggs were moved to the top floor of the safe hatchery.…….’

Anyway, there are not enough numbers. It might be enough to take down a fortress right now, but it's not enough to devastate the world..

Therefore, the thoughts of old Paris were not much different from those of other conquering monarchs..

‘We must find the flies of this world and absorb them as one of our members..’

Because the world is always full of flies.

We need to find those flies and bring them into our sphere of influence..

In fact, during the advance from the Black Lake to here, all the flies living in the forests and rivers, from larvae to adults, were absorbed by the Lord of the Flies..

‘We will break down the walls and go to the center of the world..’

And, gathering all the flies from all over the world…….

They will harm and desecrate all other living creatures and lay eggs on their corpses..

Only then will this contradictory world be destroyed and a new world be born again..

A world full of countless flies and maggots, lower and humbler than anything else, and also full of happiness.…….

Old Paris, who was bending down and giggling, suddenly stopped laughing..

《……?》

Paris felt something foreign inside her. A vague but definite feeling of discomfort was making him feel sick..

‘what.’

The old fly once again contemplated his inner self, but felt nothing..

The collective consciousness of all the flies came together to form one huge mental body, and the old fly was the owner who completely took control of the mental body..

He was a tribal god chosen by a species called Paris. All flies swore to obey him, and those who did not had their souls eaten by him..

Therefore, within this mental world, he was truly invincible. There was nothing to make him uncomfortable..

When I looked inside carefully, the feeling of a foreign body disappeared as if it had never been there from the beginning. Old Paris tilted his head and then looked straight ahead..

Hwaak-!

In the sight of the giant monster Lord of the Flies.

The forest on the left and right disappeared, and a wide plain began to appear..

And beyond that.

Finally, a human fortress was revealed with high walls built..

***

Even the sunset has set and night is approaching..

The fortress city of Crossroads. on the southern wall.

An air fleet floating in the sky. Alcatraz in the center.

Fleet Captain McMillan was chewing on his pipe and watching the appearance of the enemy monster displayed on the magic panel..

Almost simultaneously, reports poured in like screams from all channels..

「Monster, fast approaching! Doesn't slow down!」

「Lord of the Flies visible to the naked eye-!」

「There are 5 minutes left until we reach our range.!」

The enemy monster that appeared through the clouds grew bigger by the minute. They were simply getting closer, but that's how it seemed to Macmillan..

Wow-

The wooden pipe of my favorite pipe was crushed because I bit too hard..

Macmillan adjusted his admiral's hat as he chewed a wooden tube soaked in the flavor of tobacco..

‘Was His Royal Highness's operation successful? or not-’

Immediately afterwards, Macmillan quietly burst into laughter..

There is always one thing a soldier must be prepared for..

‘It is only a case of ‘or’..

“Entire fleet, launch! Attack an enemy monster!”

Going to school-!

Magical flames erupted all at once on the rear thrusters of the airships waiting in the sky..

In the center of the fleet advancing against the invading monster, Macmillan spoke again..

“We have to slow him down first before we can stop him at the fortress, so the entire fleet! This time, really…….”

Macmillan shouted..

“Let’s show the power of humanity’s aces! open fire-!”

The airships turned to the side all at once and approached the Lord of the Flies without slowing down..

At the same time, they deployed artillery batteries on the side facing the Lord of the Flies and began pouring down fire nets..

pop! Bubbling bubbling!

Kwagwagwagwagwang-!

The barrage scattered by the airship rained down on the Lord of the Flies and then exploded spectacularly..

Airborne ships replaced the barrier system that had been inoperative at Crossroads. At the same time, the naval gun system was also renovated..

Crossroads, the front line against monsters, had advanced turret and gunpowder technology to the point where it was abnormal compared to other regions, and it generously shared its know-how..

It was not a long time, but all the engineers and blacksmiths rushed in and tried to strengthen the firepower of the airship even a little..

As a result, firepower was significantly increased compared to the first engagement..

‘I'll tear you to pieces, you fly……!’

Macmillan clenched his fists as he watched the dazzling explosion of explosives..

Fire artillery on one side and rotate and deploy thrusters on one side to advance..

The sight of the airships approaching the Lord of the Flies, spouting fire on both sides, was a spectacle in itself..

but,

“……?!”

It wasn't long before Macmillan noticed something strange..

As the shell exploded and the scattered flames and thick smoke cleared, a light blue film surrounding the Lord of the Flies' body began to appear..

Soon, other captains also noticed the identity of the film surrounding the Lord of the Flies' body. Embarrassed groans erupted simultaneously..

「Well, that is…….」

「oh my god. damn-」

「This monster bastard, what is this?…….」

Macmillan took the pipe from his mouth, chewed it, and spit it out..

“……barrier.”

It was a barrier technology that the monster took away from humans..

With his body curled up in a posture as if hibernating,.

The gigantic Lord of the Flies deployed a barrier all over his body and easily withstood the full-scale firepower of the air force fleet..

At the same time, red light scattered from the monster's entire body..

It was an effect created by the eyes of all the flies that made up the monster's body flashing..

The red light that rose from the tip of the tail traveled up the stomach to the upper body, and reached the head - reaching the horns..

There was no more Halo, but on the Lord of the Flies' head was a huge, devil-like horn... … A huge amount of magical power was concentrated there..

「Enemy monster, concentrating magic power!」

「Wow, it's crazy big! This amount of magic power is…….」

「Something big is coming! Lord Macmillan! instructions!」

Even at this moment, the Lord of the Flies and the Air Force Fleet were getting closer to each other..

Macmillan calmly assessed the situation. I was embarrassed because the Lord of the Flies took this barrier technology, but it seems like there is a barrier here too..

No matter what attack method they use, this side can withstand it with a barrier.-

“uh?”

The next moment, a dumb sound came out of Macmillan's mouth..

This was because familiar shapes and magic poured out from the horn of Lord of the Flies, forming a magic circle..

Macmillan also had a knack for magic. So I had no choice but to find out right away..

The attack method that Lord of the Flies is currently preparing is-

“……Magic.”

It was a joint magic stolen from human wizards..

flashing-!

A fierce flame that seems to engulf the world, a high tsunami with no end in sight, a landslide that seems to turn the world upside down, a tornado that tears the sky apart, and a lightning bolt as dazzling as the flash of the beginning..

The most brilliant researchers among humans worked hard to resonate together and unfold the magic, and the flies as a species also resonated and calculated it..

Macmillan shouted as he saw the disaster unfolding before his eyes..

“having to leave the airspace…….”

Immediately afterwards, Macmillan noticed something. He turned around with a pale face..

If the air fleet gets out of the way, it will take a direct hit from this magic.…….

‘crossroads……!’

What Lord of the Flies was targeting with magic was not the air fleet in the first place..

It was the wall of the monster front..

A sharp signal rang in the ears of Macmillan, who was unable to make a decision for a split second..

「Block it with your body! hurry-!」

“……!”

Going to school-!

When Macmillan looked ahead, he saw a ship shooting forward, urgently raising the barrier..

A funny-looking creature with white fur..

It was the Ariane Bear, the secret ship of the Aryan Kingdom..

The captain was injured in the last battle, so the acting captain who boarded the ship in his place - Yun Arian, shouted..

「If we don't stop it, Crossroads will be over! Everyone put up the barrier and block it with their bodies.-!」

“Pfft……!”

Barrier is never invincible.

Damage up to the output limit can be safely taken, but the moment the output limit is exceeded, it melts..

And at a glance, the power of that terrifying joint magic was far beyond the output limit..

“……Battleship, deploy barrier! Follow Ariane Bear!”

Even so, I can't back down..

All fleets, who were in a state of confusion for a moment, quickly raised the barrier and formed a square in the air, with Ariane Bear at the head..

“Force the battleship's magic reactor to run away and lift the output limit! Turn all your magic into a barrier! And then we try to achieve barrier resonance by aligning all the ships in a row.!”

Macmillan gave orders quickly, and even in an imminent situation, the ace-of-ace crew members carried out the instructions..

Aircraft ships gathered together in an orderly manner raised the overloaded barrier, and the combined barrier blocked the air in the shape of a huge shield..

And above that…….

A magical bombard that once belonged to humanity but now belongs to Paris has fallen..

***

…….

In an instant, sound disappeared from the world..

Huge shock waves and aftereffects swept the area..

Evangeline, who was preparing to activate her ultimate skill on top of the castle wall, managed to hold on to the edge of the wall and survive the flight..

Evangeline, who was staggering around holding her deaf ears, finally shook her head and came to her senses..

And what Evangeline saw when she raised her head was,

“……!”

Airships falling helplessly down, charred and charred, spewing out smoke..

And behind it, against the background of the darkening sky, through thick dark clouds and smoke, a figure calmly approaches, cross-legged and with palms clasped together.…….

It was like Lord of the Flies..
