Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 592
◈ 592. [STAGE 35] Into the darkness (3)
It was a time when Lord of the Flies had put away the midnight sun and was about to start massacring humans..
《hmm?》
thud… … thud… … thud…….
Inside the mental world of Lord of the Flies.
Old Paris suddenly felt a faint vibration..
It wasn't from the real world. Something was stirring in this mental world..
《What is this, this vibration suddenly came from somewhere?…….》
Kugugugugung Palace-
The old fly, looking for the source of the shaking sound, slowly turned around and soon found it..
was falling apart.
The mountain of corpses of his compatriots was piled up behind him..
The mountain he piled up after devouring the head and leaving only the body behind... … It started to shake slightly, but soon it started shaking violently and collapsing..
Crrrrrrrrr.!
Corpse Mountain collapsed from the top, causing a landslide. Old Paris was embarrassed in front of the countless corpses that were released and pouring down..
《What. Why is this suddenly collapsing?……?》
The mountain of corpses fell straight towards the old fly, and the old fly tried to avoid the corpses by stepping back..
and at that moment.
In the avalanche of headless corpses falling and crushing like heavy rain - the being appeared..
Spewing brilliant darkness from its huge horn... … The dark red devil.
《what?》
It was the time when old Paris let out a bewildered groan as he saw the being born from the collapse of Corpse Mountain..
Quaaaaa!
A landslide caught up with his footsteps. A wave of corpses engulfed the old fly. Unable to escape, the old fly was trapped in the torrential downpour of dead bodies..
In the rain of that corpse... … The being walked leisurely.
《……!》
Old Paris realized too late.
The fact that your body is shaking right now.
He suddenly appears in this world where he reigns as king, collapsing mountains and spewing out darkness... … In front of this being who created heaven and earth, the old fly felt an instinctive fear..
《You… … Who are you??!》
the old fly shouted and asked.
Then the devil answered.
《owner of the scepter.》
《……!》
《I'm here to retrieve something I lent you, former Lord of the Flies..》
The old fly looked down at the scepter in his hand, trembled, and turned to face the devil..
The devil stretched out his hand and gave it a light crack..
《Hand it over to us. That scepter too. That throne too.》
《What right do you have to this throne that is mine?!》
《yours?》
The devil muttered quietly..
《No way. That throne too - they just lent it to you..》
A black hole opened in the floor behind the devil's back, and black figures rose upward like fountains..
it was a head.
In the meantime, the heads of my compatriots were eaten by old flies..
The heads that flowed back from the depths of the mental world merged with the headless corpses pouring down from the sky, then turned into complete flies and landed on the ground, flapping their wings..
《…….》
Old Paris watched this scene with fascination..
Headless corpses pouring down from the top of a high mountain. And the bodiless heads rising from the bottomless pit.
The flies, which were joined together in the air like a puzzle, lined up behind the devil in an orderly manner..
Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, billion…….
The old fly froze in front of the endlessly growing army of his compatriots whom he had killed and devoured one by one..
《How dare these guys... … Plotting a treason without even knowing the topic…….》
《This is not a treason.》
The devil whispered as he approached old Paris without stopping..
《It simply returns the rights that should have been originally enjoyed to their rightful place... … It's a lottery..》
《This is profit!》
The old fly urgently slammed his scepter on the floor..
But - nothing happens.
Only then did old Paris realize. Everything in this mental world was taken away by the devil before my eyes..
The world he thought was his, was actually... … The fact that it is a place that changes owners so easily.
《like this… … Do you think I'll end up like this?……!》
The old fly turned and tried to run away. First, after leaving this place, I tried to plan the following. however.
Puuk-
The moment I turned around, a sound that seemed to pierce something rang out..
《……uh?》
The old fly slowly lowered his head and looked down at his chest..
-red arms.
Like a new life being born after splitting a chrysalis, a solid red arm... … It pierced the Lord of the Flies' chest and protruded forward..
《Wow……?!》
The old fly, who was coughing up blood, managed to turn his shaking head and look back..
Before I knew it, the devil had approached silently and pierced the old fly's chest with one hand..
《If you are not even a fly, how can you claim the throne of our race?…….》
《no. I'm also Paris.》
The devil chuckled..
《Maybe everything in the world is Paris. Isn't it??》
《……!》
The moment he heard those words, a realization crossed the old Paris' mind..
But the devil didn't wait for him to come to terms with his realization..
The devil grabbed the scepter with his hand that pierced the old fly's chest, then roughly pulled his arm back..
Phuwak……!
A fountain of blood gushes from the chest of an old fly with a large hole in it..
《Wow…….》
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across the sight of the old Paris, who had lost everything and was collapsing..
He fed himself, stroked himself, and recited sutras..
The skinny, festering appearance of the old human priest…….
‘Maybe everything in the world... … Maybe it was that old priest.…….’
Everything you thought was enlightenment may have been just the delusion of a crazy fly..
The real truth may have been somewhere else.
In hindsight, the old fly fell down and died..
And, behind that body… … The devil finally grasped the regained scepter..
《……I am born again.》
The devil slowly looked outside the mental world..
With a look of mixed joy and excitement, as if reuniting with a close friend whom I had not seen for a long time..
《To bring death into your arms.》
The devil slowly stepped into the darkness..
and-

“……What, why are you stopping again??”
I broke into a cold sweat as I looked at Lord of the Flies frozen in place..
Immediately after blowing away the midnight sun with teleportation, the Lord of the Flies stopped in place. I opened my eyes while calming down the agitated soldiers..
‘Whatever it is, it's an opportunity!’
In conclusion, White Night peeled off the outer layer of Lord of the Flies..
Even with a simple estimate, about a third of the flies that made up the body of Lord of the Flies were separated and lost along the midnight sun..
The Lord of the Flies, who has now lost his outer shell, has turned into a chrysalis-like shape..
The time to do it is now.……!
“majesty!”
At that time, I heard a voice calling me from the collapsed castle wall..
When I turned around, I saw Lily leading the alchemists and Hannibal leading the spiritists. I nodded..
“Lily, Hannibal. Ready to resume operations?”
“We managed to recover the artifacts.……!”
“The spirits have been summoned again! The operation can resume, Your Majesty.!”
Lily and Hannibal spoke one after another. I nodded..
These two teams were originally waiting on the castle wall. Preparing a plan to strike the Lord of the Flies.
However, the castle wall collapsed, and during the hasty evacuation, the prepared artifacts were damaged and the spirits were canceled, resulting in a disaster..
Fortunately, the personnel were safe and preparations were made to resume operations, albeit belatedly. I made eye contact with them and shouted.
“good! Operation Winter Calling, starting again…….”
It was the moment when I was about to order the resumption of operations..
Saaaaa…….
Goosebumps suddenly appeared on my shoulders..
A frighteningly evil energy rose like fog at dawn. Everyone in the room turned their heads towards the source of the evil energy..
It was Lord of the Flies.
A terrifying and horrifying energy emanated from the pupa-shaped monster that remained motionless in its place..
“All defense! Power alert-! The enemy is planning something-!”
Evangeline, holding her shield in front, shouted, and at the same time, all the troops were tense and glaring at the Lord of the Flies..
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such-
There was a sound of something cracking..
It was the sound of the Lord of the Flies' body, which had turned into a chrysalis, split open in the middle..
‘……what.’
The central part of the chrysalis opened with a crunching sound, and I gritted my teeth and groaned in embarrassment..
‘What are you doing again?……?!’
Ugh-!
A pair of red hands protruded from the chest of the chrysalis..
The hand, which had five fingers like a human, slowly grasped the pupal shell and forcefully opened it left and right..
Kwazisig!
The pupal shell completely split to the left and right, and a new monster that had completed its metamorphosis slowly walked out from within..
Jeez. Jeez. Jeopuk.
“…….”
The sound of his footsteps rang clearly through the eerie silence..
That guy was a fly. It was a fly, but at first glance it was a monster similar to a human..
It stood with both legs on the ground, and its four arms were well-muscled. In the middle of them, in his right hand, was a jeweled staff that I had never seen before - a scepter..
A pair of wings were placed neatly behind, and a thin membrane stretched out between them like a cloak..
The entire body was red, and a huge horn was sprouting from the top of the head, and thick darkness was emanating from the horn..
At first glance, it looked like long hair was flowing..
Although it was a shabby little monster compared to the first Lord of the Flies, it was still much larger than a human being. It is a little bigger than the empty space..
《I wanted to meet you, player..》
It looked at me with red compound eyes. For some reason, he thought those eyes were gentle..
I glared at him and chewed him up and spat it out..
“who are you.”
《……I forgot the name.》
Immediately afterwards, the monster corrected his speech..
《No, I had to forget..》
“what?”
《Because you are a player who always finds a strategy. Once my name is established and who I am, you'll find a strategy again..》
The monster looked down at his own body and pondered..
《So to beat you, I had to forget my name.》
“…….”
《I was torn apart inside this fly and put back together again. Now I don't remember my name, my way of speaking, my mannerisms, anything..》
Immediately after, the monster looked at me with faint eyes..
《but… … is it so. This is certain. I was born to meet and compete with you. I lived only for that.》
“…….”
《And finally, now is the time.》
The monster's wings stretched out left and right, floating into the air..
《My life is only for this moment……!》
I shouted to my subordinates who all raised their weapons and prepared for battle..
“Don't think about it difficult. This is the final phase of Lord of the Flies.!”
Its total power is getting weaker..
Lord of the Flies is ultimately a collection of species called flies. Naturally, as the number of flies that make up the body decreases, it becomes weaker..
It sprayed flies without sparing throughout the battle, and its hatchery was destroyed, greatly reducing its power..
Even the flies that were absorbed in this world fell into the spirit world after being taken away by the midnight sun..
Currently, its total power is greatly weakened..
Even if the form changes, nothing changes..
‘A head-to-head match is quite possible.!’
No, even if it's not enough……!
I ground my teeth..
“If we want to save the world, we have to kill him here.……!”
I have to win!
I raised the flag forward and gave a command..
“All armies, battle begins-!”
With my cry, my surviving heroes and soldiers.
And the surviving flies rushed to kill each other..
