Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 589
◈ 589. [STAGE 35] Lord of the Flies (5)
Boom, coo googung…….
The body of the Lord of the Flies was sucked into the city, causing a strong tremor as if there had been an earthquake..
The earth and sand that the massive body overturned raised a thick cloud of dust..
In the gray-brown dust cloud that spread like fog, people sitting here and there looked around blankly, unable to escape the shock..
and,
thud! thud! thud……!
In that cloud of dust, hundreds of Lord of the Flies' legs touched the ground at once, slowly raising the collapsed giant..
“Wow!!”
“Hehehe……!”
“It's moving! run away!”
Terrified people scattered like a flock of ants..
The already gigantic body of the Lord of the Flies looked even more gigantic as only its silhouette was visible in the dust cloud..
It looked even more bizarre when the hundreds of legs that made up the silhouette moved at once..
Sigh! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Hundreds of legs move randomly, snatching up those unfortunate enough to come within the range of motion of the legs..
People screamed as they were captured and dragged away..
“Wow!”
“Save me, save me! I don't want to die!”
“Chi, calm down! I heard that Lord of the Flies only kidnaps but doesn't kill right away.!”
A soldier shouted based on the information he had heard. A faint hope flashed across the faces of those who heard those words..
“Me, really.?!”
“okay! In fact, the prince has already rescued several people! So let’s stay calm too. Why, even if you get bitten into a tiger’s den, you can survive as long as you come to your senses.…….”
but,
Crackling-
“uh? Huh? Uhhhh?”
The fly's legs gained strength, and he lifted the body of the soldier who had told him that information - and then smashed him to the floor..
Phuwak-!
A soldier covered in blood died instantly..
The color drained from the faces of the other captured people..
“What, what?…….”
“Kidnapping, kidnapping... … They say they won't kill you right away... … What is this……?”
The reason why Lord of the Flies kidnapped his victims instead of killing them right away is simple..
The ability gained by merging with the demonic imp, ‘Sacrifice’)’.
In order to use this ability to take away the power of a scapegoat, a series of rituals are required to sacrifice the captured scapegoat as a 'living sacrifice' on an 'altar'..
So, rather than go to the trouble of killing the victims, they paralyzed them, kidnapped them into a hatchery that functioned as an altar, and ate them there..
But now the hatchery has been destroyed, and there are not enough maggots to eat the sacrificial lambs..
‘It cannot be absorbed as a ‘sacrifice’. That is why there is no need to make it difficult to keep people alive..
Just tear it to death and that's enough.……!
Boooooooo-!
Sigh! Phew! Quad deuk-!
The Lord of the Flies roared and instantly killed everyone who came within the range of motion of his legs..
An unprecedented situation in which the entire southern wall of Crossroads collapsed. The situation was difficult for even veteran heroes and soldiers to come to their senses, and the damage increased quickly..
“step back-!”
“Retreat from Lord of the Flies' attack range!”
By the time the soldiers managed to retreat from the Lord of the Flies, there were already over a hundred corpses piled up around them..
As the human army retreated,,
Kugoogung, Kugugoogung…….
The Lord of the Flies moves his hundreds of legs in unison, slowly rising from the cloud of dust... … 'Sat down like a person'’.
The soldiers unconsciously thought that this series of scenes resembled a human being waving away flies on a chair before sitting down..
chuck-
The Lord of the Flies sits cross-legged as if practicing Zen, with his remaining legs joined together in front of his chest..
followed by a roar.
Boooooooooo……!
Following the roar, the dust cloud spread widely and roundly. The cry was deep and solemn enough to spread beyond the Crossroads and throughout the southern part of the continent..
And everywhere that cry reached.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
From small flies to giant flies living in the wild. The entire race of flies living in this world.
They flew in swarms and started raining down on the Lord of the Flies..
“This, this…….”
“What on earth is this?……?!”
The soldiers let out a bewildered groan..
Paris is everywhere in the world.
Moreover, the season happens to be late summer. Hot weather infested with flies.
Not only in the city, but also in all the mountains, rivers, and vegetation in the area... … Flies and maggots called by the Great King poured out and began to fly and crawl towards the Lord of the Flies..
The human soldiers could only watch, helpless, at this bizarre sight of flies filling the sky..
***
《…….》
In the mental world of the flies' collective consciousness, the old fly was quietly meditating..
‘The situation is not good.’
Old Paris looked at the situation calmly..
Most of the eggs were destroyed and the hatchery was destroyed. The wings were burned and lost, and the Lord of the Flies doesn't have much magic left..
It was good to take away human technology, but human technology must be efficient within the human system..
As the fly's body continued to use the human barrier and human magic was poured out, the consumption of magical power was severe..
But it's okay.
Because there are people everywhere who can be used as parts for him..
‘conscript.’
He made his presence known to his fellow countrymen as widely and clearly as possible..
‘Assemble, my people..’
Boooooooo-!
Once all flies heard this voice, they were forced to join the collective consciousness..
The Lord of the Flies was a great ancestor revived from ancient times and was the tribal god of the flies. There was no one in Paris who could refuse this conscription order..
‘We commandeer the spirit and flesh of all our compatriots living in this world..’
The orders were coercive, ruthless and unrelenting..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The conscripted flies used their souls and bodies to repair the Lord of the Flies' wounds, and also began stacking eggs in the empty hatchery..
Flies, who lived their own lives far from a colony, gave up their lives to maintain the orderly system of Lord of the Flies, as if it had been that way from the beginning..
Of course, not all flies listened. As always, there were those who rebelled..
And all those flies,
Quack!
In the spirit world, his soul was captured by an old fly and his head was eaten..
《don't make a mistake twice.》
The old fly growled as it tore off the head of its compatriot and swallowed it..
In his past life, the Lord of the Flies shared all his wisdom with all his members. He was meant to think together and move forward together..
But as a result, his subordinates rebelled..
After repeated evolutions, the flies became overly intelligent and no longer worked for the community, but split up, considering their own interests..
The empire of Lord of the Flies was torn apart, and the flies went through repeated infighting and ultimately destroyed themselves..
So - this time I changed it..
As soon as he was given a second life, the old fly purged all the flies that opposed him..
It ripped off all the heads and swallowed them, leaving only an empty shell that moves as told..
They monopolized wisdom and selected evolution. She took the very race of Paris under her grasp and shook it..
‘die for our race.’
Now all the flies under him move without any resistance to the commands he gives..
‘die for me!’
widely-
The old fly hit the floor with his scepter that was rolling on the floor..
To open the future of the species called Paris.
To make this world a true paradise.
All we have to do is make unavoidable sacrifices. Both myself and the race called Paris.…….
《If I could save my race, I would gladly go to hell..》
Lord of the Flies' entire body, which was shattered during the fall, gradually began to recover..
The newly supplied flies gradually filled in the broken skeleton and healed the injuries. The burned wings also slowly began to regenerate..
Human response is still too late.
Soldiers urgently rushed in and surrounded the Lord of the Flies again, with their bodies covered in the dust that arose as the castle wall collapsed..
However, the military base was shallow and the level of equipment was not comparable to that on the walls..
Old Paris smiled leisurely and looked around..
It took a lot of effort to fight, but in the end, no matter how well humans come together, they are just a collection of individuals with free will..
The will cannot become completely one..
It is impossible to overcome one's own race, Paris, where all races are perfectly united under the will of one being..
《……?》
It was then.
《What is it again?…….》
In the stomach, which must have digested all the embryos,,
The monster felt a vague foreign body sensation..
The old fly looked down at his boat in wonder..
What on earth is this feeling??
This bit of anxiety……?
***
“What is that, crazy…….”
A city center a bit far from the main body of Lord of the Flies. In front of the manor house yard.
Under Lucas' instructions, the magicians who had prepared the Parisian magicians who copied the midnight sun hesitated and retreated..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
It seems like flies are pouring in from all over the world..
The flies of this world responded to the Lord of the Flies' call, filling the sky black and flocking towards him..
In the face of this hideous, fin-de-siècle scene, the wizards looked around blankly, not knowing what to do..
It was then.
Jiing!
Jiying!
Light came into the eyes of the Jiangshi flies that were lying in the yard of the manor house, waiting as if dead, and they all moved their wings at the same time and rose into the air..
The wizards were freaked out..
“what?! Who finished the Jiangshi spell??!”
“Oh, no one did that! The strongmen do as they please.……!”
“Stop it! It has to stop now! Force all work to stop!”
“Oh no! Unstoppable! They are no longer listening to our orders.……!”
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Dozens of jiangshi flies took off, formed a formation in the air, and then shot straight towards the wizards..
“Wow!”
“Save people!”
The wizards were rolling on the floor and screaming, but they were not the targets of the Jiangshi flies' attacks from the beginning..
It was a magical mechanical device containing the original midnight sun..
Pachichichik-
pop!
The mechanical device that was torn apart by flies shattered and exploded..
After exploding and killing the being that could be said to be their original, dozens of Jiangshi flies floated into the air..
And like other flies, it flew across the sky in an orderly manner towards the Lord of the Flies..
“…….”
The wizards stared blankly at the figure moving away..
***
The mental world of collective consciousness in Lord of the Flies. somewhere in it.
《They digested me… … ? Haha, don't be funny,》
With only his upper body, one arm, and half of his head left, Baekya wriggled and crawled on the floor..
《I am the Great Emperor of Magic, the Great Emperor of Magic… … Do you think you'll get hit by a fly or something?…….》
My mind was torn apart by that old fly and I was swallowed by it..
At the bottom of this mental world, which is presumed to be the stomach of the bastard, Byakuya was able to regain this much form by finding her torn self, bending it, and uniting it..
And even at this rate, Byakuya was trying to counterattack..
‘Ash's subordinate knight... … That blonde motherfucker was ready to clone me some more.’
I noticed that much a long time ago. She was so ready to fire herself like a replica ammo.
If so, I will use it..
Even if I pour all of my cloned consciousness into this Lord of the Flies, I will never be able to take control of it..
《Rather than being defeated by a fly like this anyway and being eaten forever, if you can take control of the Lord of the Flies by any means necessary.…….》
If only he could find an opportunity to fight back and get revenge on Ash who put him in this hell..
What can't you do? It's a fight with nothing left to lose anyway..
So, when the Lord of the Flies delivered a conscription order to all the flies in the area, the midnight sun also secretly sent his own signal..
With a unique wavelength that only you can sense…….
If that blond knight bastard had properly prepared more copies of himself, it would have worked. Others will invade here..
Now all that's left is to wait for the time to strike back.
《By the way, where am I?……?》
Byakuya raised his head and looked around..
The underside of the Lord of the Flies collective consciousness was dark. There was no way there was a smell, but it felt like there was a damp, disgusting, unpleasant air in the air..
It was a time when Byakuya thought to herself that if she could just take away the control of this monster, she would start by burning everything, including the collective consciousness..
《Where would it be??》
suddenly.
From down here, I heard someone's voice.
《This is the place where the ‘waste’ that the old fly ate and digested gathers and accumulates..》
The startled Baekya turned around in that direction..
In a dark, bloody place... … I saw the shape of something.
《The floor beneath consciousness, where the truly insidious feelings accumulate… … You could also call it deep consciousness..》
it was a throne.
Made from the heads of flies eaten by old flies..
A skull throne made entirely of devoured heads.
There was a being sitting there like a king, muttering in a serious voice that contrasted with his light tone..
《I simply call it a sedimentary site..》
Even though he had no saliva to swallow, Baekya pretended to swallow dry saliva without realizing it and asked with a trembling voice..
《you… … who is this? what are you?》
《……well. I forgot the name. Because that doesn't matter anymore.》
The being narrowed its eyes..
《However, I remember something clearly..》
Above the head of the being that was slowly rising from the throne, a huge horn sprang up, emitting brilliant darkness..
《What should I destroy?.》
the being laughed.
《And who should I kill?.》
