I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 59
◈ 059. [STAGE 3] Select (2)
‘It's okay, Evangeline. Nothing will happen.’
It's from my childhood.
Monsters attacked that night too..
The city was in chaos, and Margrave Cross stormed out of his mansion and rushed to the front lines..
As usual, her mother came to Evangeline's room and hugged her tightly..
‘There's nothing to be afraid of. When the sun rises all the monsters will disappear.’
Evangeline knew.
The person I fear the most is my mother.
My mother trembled with fear every time she competed, fearing that my father might get hurt or die..
But instead of expressing it, he would come to my daughter and quietly hug her..
‘…….’
Evangeline turned her head. Flames rose from power lines far outside her window..
Even though there was a considerable distance between the castle wall and the mansion, the sound of metal clanging was clearly evident. The smell of her burning ashes filled her nostrils..
People's shouts and screams, monsters' cries. And the fishy smell of blood.
‘mom.’
Evangeline asked.
‘When should I go there??’
‘what?’
The mother looked at her young daughter with a surprised expression. Evangeline had a dignified face that was unusual for a child..
‘I heard it from my dad. The heir of the Cross family must go to the front and fight..’
My mother looked like her world had collapsed. Evangeline tilted her head..
‘Mom hates me having to fight?’
‘It's not a good or bad issue. Because that is the fate of the Cross family.’
Mother hugged Evangeline one more time..
‘But, it's sad..’
‘sad?’
‘Because mom is a coward. Just as I'm afraid that your father will get hurt, I'm also afraid that my daughter will have a hard time in the future... … It's scary and sad.’
Evangeline hesitated for a moment, then asked what she had always been curious about..
‘Mom didn't know it would turn out like this.?’
‘huh?’
‘Didn't you know that you would worry about your dad every time monsters came in? I didn't know that I would have to fight there when I grew up.?’
I was afraid that my husband would die. She grieves and worries about her daughter's future..
My mother trembled like that every night when monsters attacked..
‘If I had known it would be like this... … She wouldn't have married her dad?’
The mother quietly looked at her daughter for a moment.,
‘no. I knew it all.’
He slowly lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled softly..
‘If I marry your father, I'll spend nights crying every time a monster comes..’
Mother's rough, warm hands stroked Evangeline's head..
‘If I give birth to you, you too will be destined to go out and fight someday. I will be saddened by that fate. everyone knew.’
‘But why? why did you marry my dad?
Evangeline couldn't quite understand, so she asked again..
‘why… … gave birth to me?’
Even though I knew it would be painful and sad. Why did you choose this path?.
Even though I know that what lies ahead is pain. for what reason.
‘well? Why?…….’
My mother, who was trailing off her words, eventually smiled faintly..
‘Is it because it continues?.’
‘What follows… … ? What is it?’
Evangeline's mother slowly held her in her arms as she blinked..
‘You'll find out when you grow up, Evangeline..’
‘If it's bigger?’
‘Then you will definitely find out..’
Mother's large, warm hands slowly stroked Evangeline's back..
‘Why did my mom do that... … You'll find out.’
Why did my mother move forward into a future where fear and sadness were certain?.
Even three years after her mother died, Evangeline still didn't know..
And maybe… … I thought we would never know.
***
“Hehehehe?!”
Evangeline gasped and opened her eyes..
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.!”
When I coughed violently, blood came out. I felt a dull pain in my lower back..
Wiping the corners of her mouth roughly, Evangeline tried to understand the current situation..
It looks like he was hit by the golem's fist, flew straight up to the wall of the villa, and got stuck from his back..
‘How faint was it??’
It seems it wasn't that long of a time. The golem that hit her a little while ago is rushing in front of her again..
Guooooh-!
Why is the golem here??
My body reacted before my questions..
Cheolkeong!
Evangeline quickly pulled up the strap on her waist, equipped her left arm with a shield, and caught the golem's fist..
Took bang-!
The shield glowed dazzlingly and the guard was successful..
But before Evangeline could take her next stance, a second attack came..
bang! Kwakwang!
The golem's huge legs trampled Evangeline's entire small body..
I had no idea how such mobility came from such a large body..
Evangeline broke the wall of the villa with her whole body, blocking it with her shield, and rolled into the villa..
“Big black!”
Evangeline groaned as she got up from the wreckage of the shattered wall..
“It's driving me crazy, really.……!”
Kugu Palace!
The golem burrowed into the villa, widening the hole in the wall..
Every time it moved, the ceiling broke and the walls collapsed..
“He's just demolishing other people's houses as he pleases, this bastard.…….”
Evangeline gritted her teeth and straightened her posture, holding her cavalry spear in her right hand..
Clap!
As soon as I held the spear, the glowing light from the shield moved to the spear..
The attack skill [Damage Payback] is ready..
Next time that guy charges again, I can just counter him and finish him off..
‘Come in now, you bull bastard.……!’
Evangeline waited for him to come in, her eyes shining like a hunter..
The golem in front also rushed forward without delay. Evangeline guessed her timing by counting in her head. three, two, one-
It was then.
bang! Kugwagwang!
Evangeline's left and right walls were destroyed, and two new steam golems appeared..
“what-”
Although she was taken aback, Evangeline reacted quickly..
Pukak! Took bang-!
I pierced the chest of the guy coming from the right with the tip of the spear, and used my shield to block the attack from the guy coming from the left..
The guy on the right was instantly pierced by the magic core and fell to his death, and the guy on the left's attack was completely ineffective..
But the one who runs straight ahead.
“Pfft……?!”
have no means to cope.
Powok-!
A fist the size of Evangeline's upper body struck her once again..
Kwasik! Craddangtangtang!
Evangeline crashed through the wall and only stopped after hitting a closet and a shelf..
Dishes and bottles lying in the closet and on the shelves fell and broke..
“damn, do……!”
Evangeline suffered a bloody nose as glass shards rained down on her..
Two steam golems rushed in front of Evangeline, making a roaring noise..
Evangeline shouted, raising her eyes sharply..
“Do it in moderation, you monsters.-!”
Evangeline kicked out of her crouching position and shot straight ahead..
He blocked the golem's fist that came in first with his shield, and pierced the golem's chest with the spear in his other hand. deeply!
A second golem rushed after him..
Evangeline turned the body of the first golem she had hit with the spear to take the attack of the second golem instead..
Crunchy soup!
The moment when the second golem became entangled with the first golem and the movement stopped for a moment..
Evangeline powerfully extended her spear forward. The tip of the spear that pierced the first golem touched the chest armor of the second golem..
Wow-!
The tip of the spear glows incandescent at that moment.
The enemy's attack saved with skill 1 [Damage Save] is returned to skill 2 [Damage Payback].!
Tuquaaang!
Intangible energy exploded from the tip of the spear..
Not only the first golem that was impaled by the spear, but also the second golem whose tip touched the chest armor exploded in an instant..
thud! patter, patter……!
“Haha, haha, haha!”
The shattered pieces of the golem flew in all directions. Evangeline cleared her throat, raising her spear..
“……Ugh!”
Once the battle was over, a sharp pain came from the injured area..
My lacerated skin felt hot, and my ankle felt sore as if I had sprained it during a sudden attack..
However, Evangeline hurriedly walked outside the villa without even thinking about providing first aid..
‘The golem army made a surprise attack. A day earlier than expected at Crossroads.’
If things continue like this, Crossroads won’t be safe either..
‘We have to go back quickly and report the enemy attack.……!’
Evangeline had just escaped from the collapsed villa building with a limp..
at that very moment.
thud!
The whole area shook..
The vibration was so large that Evangeline's small body instantly floated in the air..
“uh?”
Evangeline made a dumb sound and turned her eyes towards the source of the vibration..
And found it.
thud… … ! thud… … ! thud……!
A horde of over 50 giant golems advancing straight towards you..
Every time they took a step at the same time, the whole place trembled..
The walls of the villa had already collapsed, splashing brick fragments as if there had been an earthquake..
“What is this again?…….”
Then Evangeline realized..
The three steam golems from before were merely scouts. These guys are real.
‘I need to run away.’
There was nothing else to do but report again. Evangeline had a hunch.
If you face it head on, you'll die..
‘where are the words?’
Evangeline looked around to find the horse she was riding, but the horse had already run away..
‘Then run to the crossroads?’
Evangeline looked down at her limp leg. With this leg of her injury?
Is it possible??
‘It's not a question of whether it's possible or not!’
There is no way to escape from here unless we are still far away from them.!
Gritting her teeth, Evangeline tried to run toward the Crossroads. That was right then..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
The two golems at the tail end of the golem army rose into the air..
It was a golem of a type I had never seen before. While the other golems were rough and clunky, these two had an elegant and sleek design..
Evangeline, sensing something unusual, quickly raised her shield..
And that action saved Evangeline's life..
Jiying-!
Dozens of bright red beams of light were fired from the fingertips of the two golems floating in the air..
It was the ray magic used by the boss monster during free exploration..
But the number of beams of light was much greater, and there were two of them..
ping! Phoebe Bibbing!
Kugwagwagwagwang!
Dozens of red rays devastated the area where Evangeline was..
Every time the beam of light scratched the ground like a whip, explosions and flames occurred..
Evangeline held up her shield and deflected the magic attack. The body, curled up, was helplessly pushed back..
“Big black……!”
I felt the durability of my shield being reduced in an instant..
It was a little difficult, but the attack itself was worth it. the problem is,
Guooooh-!
The rest of the golems were all running towards Evangeline, who had stopped to block the magic..
‘You can't waste time! You have to block it and increase the distance……!’
Evangeline stepped back while holding her shield..
But at that moment, my sprained ankle swayed and I lost my balance..
‘ah.’
By all means, I made another mistake here..
Evangeline's posture collapsed, and a gap appeared in her defenses. She didn't miss the gap and her red rays dug in..
ping! Pibibing!
“Ouch!”
The beam of light was hot and sharp. Even though it only grazed, cuts and burns were left at the same time..
Drops of blood sprang up all over Evangeline’s small body..
The beam of light that passed by Evangeline set the ground on fire, followed by an explosion..
tuquagwagwang-!
“Ah, big……!”
Evangeline, scratched by the beam of light and swept away by the explosion, rolled roughly on the floor..
As I barely managed to raise my upper body while giggling, I saw giant golems closing in on the distance..
‘iced coffee.’
Evangeline slowly lowered her head. As she was brilliant, she was quick to judge the situation..
‘It's over.’
So vain.
Suddenly and suddenly. death is near.
“There are so many things I haven’t been able to do.…….”
I've never been in a relationship, I've never been able to drink, I've never been able to smoke..
I haven't even become an adult yet.
I haven't even thought about what I really want to do..
“It's over.”
Evangeline quietly closed her eyes..
There was no anger. There was no sadness.
It was just disappointing..
That was what the girl felt at the last moment of her life. Evangeline let out a soft sigh..
“It's a shame…….”
It was then.
“Then you can try it.”
“……?”
“Try everything you haven't been able to do, one by one.”
Suddenly I heard a voice in front of me.
Evangeline slowly opened her eyes and looked ahead, wondering if she was hallucinating..
“Life is short. Don't regret it, waste it hard?”
A man stood straight in front of Evangeline with his back turned..
I ran so quickly that my shirt was soaked with sweat, and my shoulders were shaking because I couldn't control my rough breathing..
Evangeline opened her mouth in disbelief..
“……Seniors?”
Then the man glanced back..
3rd Prince of the Everblack Empire - Ash 'Bornhater' Everblack grinned, showing his teeth..
“I came to save you, cute junior..”
