Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 596
◈ 596. [STAGE 35] Struggle (2)
thud!
After receiving the body of Lord of the Flies on Geronimo's back,.
When Kelly Bay, standing at the hatch entrance, operated the button, Geronimo's propellers, which had stopped, closed upward and grabbed the Lord of the Flies' body..
Going to school-!
In that state, Geronimo flew low as if being dragged by the ground..
Fierce flames and smoke exploded from the thrusters toward the bottom, trying to lift the ship and a monster of equal weight..
Since there was no lift provided by the propeller, Geronimo hovered in the air only with the power of the runaway horsepower..
With just this alone, it was like a time bomb ready to explode, and the ship, whose flight balance was broken, was falling apart by the second..
A huge weight has been added to my back..
The hull twisted and screamed as it was strained beyond its limits. The tattered outer armor and parts fell off and rained down to the rear. A series of explosions occurred in the overheated magic furnace..
but it doesn't stop.
“Hahaha……!”
Inside the ship rushing towards death, Kelly Bay was in tears..
Flying with a bomb on your back that could blow up an entire city..
Could there be a more splendid death than this?.
Kelly Bay, laughing heartily, shouted towards the interior of the ship from the hatch entrance..
“Okay, let's go! Son! to the end of the world!”
“…….”
“I was an ugly father who abandoned you all my life and lived as I wanted, but at the end... … Let's do it together!”
Kelly Bay smiled with a face shining with blood and sweat..
“…….”
Kellyson, who was sitting in the cockpit, looked at his father blankly for a moment and then.
“I hate talking.”
“what?”
widely!
One of the buttons in the cockpit was operated..
Then the hatch suddenly opened, and at the same time, Kellyson pulled Geronimo's booster..
“Wow!?!”
Kelly Bay was unable to do anything due to the sudden change in speed and was thrown out of the ship..
Kelly Bay, who was rolling in a mess on the southern sandy plain, barely managed to get up while touching his bleeding forehead..
“Phew, Kelly Thorn, you unfilial son of a bitch! what are you doing now…….”
Whoosh-thud!
Geronimo's emergency lifeboat fell next to Kelly Bay, who had not even finished speaking. Kellyson ejected the last remaining lifeboat on the ship..
「Father.」
Geronimo was moving away in an instant..
「You were the worst of all the fathers in this world.」
Only Kelly Thorne's grumpy voice rang through the communication..
「but… … The best blacksmith and the best miner..」
“No, Kelly Thorn! At least we'll be together for the last time……!”
「On this front, this world still needs a pat on the back.」
Going to school-!
The runaway magic furnace forced the ship, which was almost touching the ground, to move forward. Unable to withstand her weight, the thrusters deployed to the bottom exploded one by one..
However, Kelly Thorn spoke calmly and increased his speed..
「Survive. And our species... … No, I can take care of this world.」
“Kelly Thorn, no, Kelly.……!”
Kelly Bay, who was running after Geronimo, fell badly on the ground..
In the cockpit, Kelly Thorn, who was looking at his father who had now become so far away, chuckled..
The bottom of the hull, which had been flying low and persistently without touching the ground, finally touched the ground..
At the same time as Geronimo leaves the southern plains and enters the forest, creating fire, smoke, and sand dust..
crackling-
The self-destructive magic that moved like a flame on a fuse gathered in the center of the Lord of the Flies' chest..
“ah.”
Kellyson muttered one last time..
“The first tunnel my dad gave me, it was so cozy…….”
The small cave of my childhood suddenly appeared overlapping in the narrow cockpit of the ship..
The young face of my father as he placed the key to open the cave door into my small hand.…….
Kelly Thorn closed his eyes..
The gathered flames reached the spiritual core of Lord of the Flies..
The next moment, the whole world was enveloped in white light..
***
I took a deep breath..
In the pitch black night. A dazzling light arose in the distance to the south..
For a moment there was no sound.
And the next moment, an enormous explosion blew away the forest across the southern plains..
Quagwagwagwagwagwanggwang!
To destroy humanity's defenses, to destroy the world…….
The monster threw the soul, body, and fortune of his entire species into this single explosion, and its power was enormous..
A huge pillar of light rose up along with a cloud of dust..
The forest buried within the range of the pillar of light burned down in an instant, and the ground around the center of the explosion rose into the air and soon melted..
Subsequently, a storm hit Crossroads..
Going to school……!
The southern wall, of which only the skeleton remained here and there, was swept away by the storm and bricks were thrown away. People were screaming and rolling on the floor..
The explosion was huge and the aftermath was only a precursor. Flames and gusts of wind from the center of the explosion broke up the ground and rushed towards the Crossroads..
The world has become brighter.
Destruction rushed into the city as relentlessly as the morning sun..
“Seniors……!”
Evangeline ran screaming and deployed her shield in front of me. Behind that shield, I once again grabbed my flag with both hands and cried out as if I was coughing up blood..
“No matter how many times you fall, I'll build you back up again-!”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
The gray magic wall bloomed like flower petals and was erected to replace the missing southern wall..
It had been a while since I had surpassed my limit, so my heart ached and blood was gushing out of me. Still, I gritted my teeth and maintained the walls..
Going to school……!
But it evaporates.
Unable to withstand the explosion of enormous power, the gray magic wall began to disintegrate from the outskirts..
“……Ugh.”
hold on.
“Ugh…….”
If you can't hold on, what happens?.
What happens to the noble sacrifice of those who gave up their lives before us?.
If I fall here, if I give up, if I let go of the flagpole. What is the point of all the fights that have been going on?.
“Ahhhhh!”
The surface of the castle wall boils and disappears in droplets..
Like a pond that has bottomed out due to a drought, the wall of magic evaporated in an instant, and now it is only as thick as a sheet of paper..
My entire body, which has had all of its magic power squeezed to the bottom, is tingling and has no feeling. I feel like my body doesn't belong to me.
Still, I held on. I held on and screamed..
‘I don't want to lose.’
Those who are still alive and in my arms, and those who have already fallen and remain in my memories..
I don't want to lose it yet……!
In my ear, I was shaking, vomiting blood, half-collapsed, hanging on the flagpole.-
“Prince Ash.”
Suddenly, a soft voice rang out..
“Please keep that flag until the last moment.…….”
Light green hair wavy as he walked in front of me..
“don't let go.”
It was the Elf Queen Skuld. She winked at me. Green eyes widen and open over the four diamond-shaped tear dots..
I watched her bright smile blankly..
“World Award!”
The next moment she placed both hands on the floor and shouted.
“Your daughter asks for her final inheritance at a fair price.……!”
Skuld's arms changed to resemble tree trunks. Her transparent skin became rough and hard, and leaves sprouted here and there, eventually digging into the ground..
Toad-doo-duk-duk!
Immediately behind my magic wall, huge tree roots and trunks rose up simultaneously. The huge trees intertwined with each other eventually formed a wonderful temporary castle wall..
It was immediately after that that my magic wall disappeared and I fell to the floor..
Evangeline caught me as I fell, and I leaned on my shield knight's shoulder and watched the miracle happening in front of me..
Shoot aaaaa……!
I endure it.
The castle wall, made up of huge tree trunks and roots, burned and collapsed, but grew again and put out leaves..
The fire and gusts outside the walls were persistent and greedy, but the wooden walls were more patient..
The ancient protective magic that formed on the wooden castle wall protected everyone behind the castle wall until the very end..
When the explosion and roar that seemed like it would never end stopped, the wooden castle wall held on without collapsing..
The charred walls all at once crumbled to dust and fell to the ground. At the same time, Skuld, which had built its walls and held on to the end, also collapsed helplessly..
“Schooled!”
Verdandi ran out screaming..
“Verdandi… … sister…….”
Skuld, held in Verdandi's arms, had changed into the appearance of a very old tree..
The skin on my entire body became dry, and my appearance, which used to look slightly younger than my sister, changed to that of a complete old person..
The hair, which was once a vibrant green color, became as dark as dried fallen leaves..
More than half of the body has assimilated into the tree and burrowed into the ground... … she was dying like that.
Elves who live forever, especially the rightful heirs of the fairy royal family..
He sacrificed all his life force, blessings, and future to protect Crossroads..
“Our race, no.…….”
Skuld let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes..
“This world... … please…….”
“……Schooled?”
Verdandi muttered in disbelief..
“No, no, no... … It's okay. please…….”
Verdandi held Skuld tightly in her arms and kissed his younger brother's forehead..
“I was wrong, my sister was wrong. So come back… … . I'll never leave you again, please…….”
In the end, Verdandi let out a long cry..
“don't leave me alone…….”
Other than the elf princess's sobs, there was no sound in the area..
Heroes and soldiers, their bodies covered in blood, stood toward the southern wall with solemn faces. And one by one, they bowed their heads in that direction..
“…….”
I leaned on Evangeline's shoulder and looked around with a mesmerized look on my face..
Crossroads was caught in the aftermath of the explosion, and the entire southern part of the city, starting from the southern wall, was devastated. There were no intact buildings, no towers left..
Everything was devastated.
this… … Is it victory??
Is this the price of survival??
‘How many people died?’
How many lives were thrown away…….
I'm alive here and now?
‘no……!’
I shook my dazed head. I let go of the seething feelings of self-reproach..
Because I know.
Those who gave their lives for the front lines here don't want me to think like this..
May the front line here be maintained through their sacrifices, and may our precious colleagues join forces and move forward... … Because I know that in the hope of that, I threw my life away like stubble..
So, I tried to somehow give hope to everyone. As the person responsible for leading everyone who was in a mess, I tried to organize the situation and let everyone get some rest..
and-
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
It was then.
Magical particles stirred in the air behind me with an ominous sound..
“…….”
I gritted my teeth and turned towards the wave of magic particles emitting blue light..
flashing-!
and… … The ‘door’ has opened.
It was a huge teleport gate.
Oh my gosh!
And, I opened that huge door with both hands.-
《My origins are… … It's not like a nightmare.……!》
An image of a woman made of flies appeared..
During the civil war with the Lord of the Flies, it was the midnight sun that was forcibly moved somewhere due to the teleportation used by the Lord of the Flies..
“……under.”
I muttered in shock..
“This is a bit too much, really..”
《I was originally a resident of this world! The Demon King didn't resurrect me, he just took me under his command.!》
The midnight sun, with its strange shape made of flies, flashed its compound eyes and shouted..
《So, even if I get swept away to the other side of the world, I can eventually find my way and come back to this world.……!》
Every time she moved, the flies combined with the darkness of the other world spread out in all directions, covering the dark night sky with shiny colors..
The heroes and soldiers reflexively grabbed their weapons and looked up at the sky. But everyone felt it. So did I..
This…….
《……What, where did Lord of the Flies go? Could it be that he has already died and passed away??》
……It's over.
《Then I can clearly declare.》
At the place where Lord of the Flies fell and froze, Byakuya picked up something..
it was a scepter.
Holding the tiny scepter in the giant fly's hand as if it were precious, Byakuya was madly mad..
《Now, I am the new Lord of the Flies……!》
It was game over.
