Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 598
◈ 598. [STAGE 35] Struggle (4)
“…….”
I was dumbfounded for a moment in front of his ridiculous question..
How do you want to die??
《Aren't you mortal? That life will eventually decline, and the meaning it embraces will weather away and die..》
The Night Bringer was chatting as if he was genuinely curious..
《It is a foregone conclusion that the end will come. Then what kind of ending do you want to face??》
“…….”
《Say it, last player. Fighting to prevent the destruction of the world, what kind of death do you wish for??》
What kind of death do you want??
Instead of answering, I slowly took out the will in my arms..
He took a deep breath and waved it in front of his eyes..
“This is the will I wrote before going into this battle..”
《Hoo.》
Lee Chae passed by in the black dragon’s gold..
and i,
Boouk.
I tore the will in half..
Night Bringer's gaze filled with puzzlement, but I ignored it and did what I had to do..
Boom, boom, boom-
In half, in half, in half - I tore the will into pieces..
My hands were shaking just from tearing the overlapping pieces of paper. But I tore up the will, scattering the pieces on the floor and growling..
“this is my answer.”
《…….》
“There is no such thing as a desired death. There is only one thing I wish for.”
I chewed it up and spit it out..
“It's life.”
《…….》
“All my people... … And all life above this front continues to embrace its own potential..”
《…….》
“I don't know what kind of ending it will all lead to. But, I just want to see. Everything that follows like that.”
Night Bringer shook his head slightly..
《What is the meaning of all that mortality? The ending is predetermined anyway, and it is destined to fade away in the end..》
“so? Because everyone who lives will die anyway and the world will eventually perish. Are you telling me to lie quietly in bed and wait for the last leaf to fall??”
《Isn’t such a peaceful ending not bad??》
“Maybe so. but.”
- brother!
suddenly.
Lying in a hospital bed, in a coma... … The image of a young boy flashed through my mind..
“……But I want to see him smile.”
I blurted out without hesitation.
“I want to see that child stand on his own two feet and live in this world. In this hellish world where you can't survive unless you're an iron man…….”
《…….》
“Nevertheless, I want to see the child who chose to live smile in the end..”
Night Bringer looked at me blankly..
I made eye contact with his shining golden eyes and spoke emphatically..
“So, save me. night bringer.”
《……what?》
“Go away. Give us one more chance.”
With my back straight and not at all intimidated, I confidently begged for my life..
The black dragon looked genuinely embarrassed, as if he didn't know I would come out like this..
《why me? If I just lift a finger right now, you're all dead..》
“Don't you know, the king of nightmares?”
I raised both hands and pointed to the men behind me..
Even though he was extremely worn out and covered in blood, his eyes were burning... … My heroes preparing for battle again.
“The final entertainment this world can give you is us..”
《……!》
“We are the guardians of royalties. When we fall, what's left is ugly. Royalty will perish without purpose, and so… … it will all end.”
A slow, joyful smile appeared on the black dragon's face..
I don't know if it's because my words are meaningless or if it means something else..
but.
“We are the last enemy you can face as the King of Kings. Wouldn't it be so vain if we disappeared at the touch of a finger?.”
I just struggle.
Even if it's ugly, foolish, and stupid.
Somehow, one more time. To continue the game-
do anything.
As a responsible player, somehow.
“Isn’t that kind of ending so tasteless?.”
《…….》
“Go away. And give it time. Time for us to prepare for the final battle…….”
I didn't bow my head or stoop..
I shamelessly looked into his eyes and asked for something very obvious..
“As a fellow king of kings, as a player opposing you, for a great game..”
《…….》
There was silence.
Eventually, the corners of his mouth opened and smiled, and the Night Bringer shook his head slightly..
《you are a selfish king.》
“…….”
《If you wanted a peaceful death, I would have given it to you this time..》
The Night Bringer continued speaking as he looked around at his people who were leaning against each other, embracing their wounds..
《As you and your people dream, escape from this life of pain... … He would have been able to meet a peaceful end in the quiet night. That was my greatest mercy..》
“…….”
《But you chose to fight. I will fight as you wish and let you die painfully..》
The King of Monsters placed his scepter on the floor with a loud thud. And raised his voice.
《propose a truce.》
“……!”
《The previous attack. And this attack. Everyone committed a rule violation in our camp. The two corps sortied separately or combined into one..》
The Night Bringer nodded..
《If there had been a previous King of Kings, he would have given the sortie corps appropriate punishment. But that guy is in hiding right now. Even the execution of punishment had stopped..》
“…….”
《Instead, let me impose punishment on our camp. Until the next great flood, we will not invade Inse. What is it like??》
I nodded..
“accept.”
《Hehe, don't be too relieved..》
Maybe he was relieved without realizing it, but the Night Bringer laughed when he saw my face..
《The one who will go out during the next major flood is me..》
“……!”
《The world will perish then anyway..》
Bingle-
The Night Bringer turned back. Long black hair waved and flowed along the path of his body..
《Pull yourself together. Heal your wounds. Think of a way to kill me and struggle in vain. As a mortal… … Burn your whole body and soul, stand up to me.》
“…….”
《You said you wanted to see your child smile. Guardian of royalties.》
The Night Bringer's golden eyes trembled with an eerie heat as he tilted his head slightly..
《I miss you too, I miss you crying…….》
……what?
《When your simple hopes are trampled and burned, when your vain hopes disappear, when even your strong will is broken, and destruction finally arrives before your eyes.…….》
“…….”
《How nice it will be to see the tears you will pour out. Looks like it would be fun just to watch.》
For the most part, I tried to just listen quietly..
I couldn't bear it any longer and spit out a word..
“This sadistic bastard…….”
《Haha.》
The guy calmly walked forward and responded..
《Is there any king who does not enjoy sadism??》
The black dragon that was walking slowly suddenly stopped and looked to the side..
Dusk Bringer stood there..
Her dress was torn in several places and covered in blood from the fierce battle, and her long black hair had become a mess. The prized silver crown was covered in soot..
Without paying any attention to that, Dusk Bringer stood proudly and glared at Night Bringer with fierce eyes..
《…….》
“…….”
The black dragon, revived from a nightmare, and the half-dragon, who inherited the blood of the red dragon, stared at each other for a moment..
《……Right. Was the blood of the dragon still alive?.》
The Night Bringer muttered and started walking again. Dusk Bringer shouted into his back..
“Are you ignoring me, Black Dragon? Isn’t there more to say??!”
《…….》
“My ancestors burned you and chewed you up and swallowed you! I will make sure that you too meet the same end as I did then.!”
《Don’t be mistaken, half a dragon.).》
Wow!-
The Night Bringer tilted his chin and widened his eyes. A level of Dragon Fear that is completely different from what Dusk Bringer has spread so far has swept across the area..
《Your ancestors were so great that they could not even be compared to you, a lump of blood..》
Thanks to my [Indomitable Commander], our heroes didn't get scared, but for a moment, there were soldiers who couldn't breathe and were holding their necks and screaming..
“Pfft……?!”
Even the Dusk Bringer of the world turned pale and took a step back..
The Night Bringer snorted at the sight of Dusk Bringer, then took back his Dragon Fear and started walking again..
《The reason you can preserve your life now is only because of the declaration of truce that I declared with my own mouth. For a king cannot go back on his words..》
“…….”
《Don't fuss too much. Anyway, during the next major flood…….》
Night Bringer lightly snapped his fingers..
《Even the history of your ancestors, including you. I will destroy everything.》
Quad Deuk!
The silver crown symbolizing the dominance of the Bringer Principality was placed on Dusk Bringer's head... … It was crushed ungainly and fell to the floor..
Pop. Pop. pop.
Blood flowed from Dusk Bringer's forehead down his small face, as if he had been injured in the attack..
Dusk Bringer stood motionless with a bloody face, glaring at Night Bringer who was walking away..
《See you again, mongrel..》
The Night Bringer, with a sneer, walked across the southern plains and entered the swirling sand dust..
《I expect you to achieve even one ten millionth of the feats your ancestors achieved..》
Eventually, the black dragon's back completely disappeared..
“…….”
A long silence fell..
Even though the long battle was over, everyone was frozen in place..
I looked back at my subordinates who had stopped, not knowing what to do, and I barely managed to open my mouth..
“It doesn't matter if it's a fluke. It doesn't matter if it's luck. It can be a coincidence, it can be servile, it can be anything, it can be in any form..”
I continued desperately..
“we survived.”
“…….”
“It is the responsibility of this front line to survive and fight until the very end. And today, you each performed your duties brilliantly. that is enough.”
that is enough.
For those of us who survived, that…….
After lowering my head and catching my breath, I gave an order:.
“……Ring the bells, light up the city. The battle is over. One by one, step by step... … Let's do what needs to be done again.”
Your heart may be heavy, and you may be full of stories you want to tell..
There's so much to do right now.
“Send a storm to the temple. Now that the combat situation is over, transporting the wounded is the top priority... … No, let's set up a field treatment center right here..”
“yes……!”
“Because it is dark, there are probably many injured people who have not yet been rescued. Those with relatively minor injuries receive only simple treatment and join the rescue..”
“All right!”
As I gave orders mechanically and systematically, my subordinates who had no idea what to do quickly began to move..
A person panicking from shock, a person sobbing with sadness, a person letting out a scream they had been holding in due to the pain of an injury.…….
Everyone made their own expressions, let out their own voices, and ran through the city, faces covered in blood and dust..
“…….”
After gesturing to the main party members who were looking at me with worried eyes,.
I stumbled and leaned against the flagpole, looking back toward the south side of the ruined Crossroads..
‘sick.’
Can a city that has collapsed so cruelly be restored?.
Can we heal the wounds engraved in people's hearts today?.
This deep pain and scar embedded in everything and everyone.…….
And the blood that will continue to flow from here.
How should I caress.
It was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe well..
‘so painful.’
For each building that collapsed, the faces of the people who fell and died today were young..
I urgently squeezed my eyes shut. I closed my mouth that was about to let out a moan..
‘Why are you doing this again?…….’
I'm in a position where I have to appease him. I'm in a position where I have to encourage and lift everyone up..
Why can't I become resolute?.
also… … I keep falling so weak…….
“Big black…….”
It was the limit.
I quickly went to the back of the collapsed building and sat down, covering my face with my hands and crying into my heart. I desperately sobbed silently..
Fortunately, the night was dark and there was no moonlight..
People knew that I was hiding and holding back my tears, but they pretended not to notice..
3When half of the year passes.
The monster invasion has become destructive in earnest.,
The World Defense Front suffered the greatest damage since its founding..
Destruction was steadily rushing towards us..
It was a late summer night, as fall approached..
