Became a tyrant of defense games (Episode 635)

◈ 635. [Side Story] Dragon Slayer (3)

Armor is equipment directly related to life..

Therefore, the top priority is making armor using Tustivean Raid reward materials. Because we desperately need high-quality armor that can withstand the dragon's attack..

But armor alone cannot win the war..

In the end, you need a powerful weapon that can cut off the dragon's mighty and tough life..

Thus, the magic core that can be said to be the essence of Tustibean - a weapon made from the dragon heart and his symbol, the molar..

That is this dagger, [Lee Sa-geum].

Since it is made from the heart of a dragon and its symbol, its power is beyond imagination. It is a powerful weapon with the potential to instantly surpass the final level..

“…….”

but.

Just as the armor made from the magic core of Lord of the Flies is actually the Nightmare Slayer..

This dagger forged from Tustibean's magic core was also a dragon slayer and a nightmare slayer..

Because these evil dragons were also resurrected in the nightmare. Because it has a power that is no different from that of other nightmare corps commanders..

Therefore, this weapon also has tremendous power that is comparable to that of other Nightmare Slayers, and at the same time,…….

It also harbors malicious intent to plunge the owner into darkness..

“ah…….”

Verdandi stretched out his hand toward this dagger as if possessed.,

“Verdandi. for a moment.”

I grabbed her hand in the air..

Verdandi stared at me with a fierce gaze. Her eyes were already covered with vivid gold - the glory of the Absolute, and the green color they used to be was no longer visible..

“Why are you doing this? This is my weapon. That's right, Ash.?”

“…….”

“If you have this dagger, you can kill your opponent in one fell swoop, no matter what monster he is... … If you give me that role, I'll be happy to do it..”

“Verdandi.”

Verdandi is the strongest assassin among the heroes I have, the rightful heir to the fairy royal family, and even a Chosen One chosen by the race god..

She is already fully qualified. All she needed was a weapon to slay her dragon - Dragon Slayer.

When she holds this dagger, she becomes a powerful dragon slayer... … I will be able to slay the dragons under that lake..

“Give me this dagger and I will wipe out all the monsters below hell. Until I exterminate them without leaving a single one left, until peace comes to this world, will I be the hunter under that lake forever?.”

“…….”

“So, quickly give me that weapon and order me… … That's what you came here for, Ash.?”

okay.

I came for that.

The remaining four dragon raids - Black Dragon's Wings, Eyes, Sunlin, and True Black Dragon's Body..

Verdandi must play a big role in this subjugation. She's the right person for her, there's something only she can do.

but, but…….

“Promise me this, Verdandi..”

We are commanders and soldiers, but we are also allies and friends..

We are all walking into the darkness to stop it... … Still, I want you to keep your last humanity..

“Don't forget something precious.”

“yes?”

“I like the people and the place. Don't forget everything that was precious to you, try to remember it.”

“…….”

Verdandi has a face that says he doesn’t understand..

I laughed bitterly. Even as I say this, I wonder what kind of old-fashioned nonsense I am talking about..

but… … The sense of commander I had developed on this hellish front was speaking to me..

I need to tell you now.

I need to light a candle inside her.

“Don't forget everything that holds you dear.”

I picked up the wooden box and held it out to her..

“…….”

Verdandi immediately grabbed the handle of the dagger [Isageum]..

The pitch-black evil energy that was trying to leak out was crushed by the gold and green that emanated from her grasp and was trapped inside the dagger..

“Don't worry, Ash..”

Verdandi seemed to have complete control over the evil dagger and raised the corners of his mouth..

“Because elves have good memories..”

“…….”

I smiled faintly at her and took out another pouch from my arms and gave it to her..

“And this is from your hometown. It was delicious.”

It was a bag of sunflower seeds, which this species of rodents have always loved..

Verdandi grinned as he took the bag and bowed to me once more. I nodded and stood up..

When I walked away from the south gate and looked back, I saw Verdandi still sitting there..

It was raised by my younger brother, but is now black and burned to death... … In front of the stump of the dead tree from which he had taken his dead brother with his own hands..

Without even opening the bag of sunflower seeds in my hand. Looking at the dagger held in the other hand.

***

North of Crossroads. Bringer Principality Army Camp.

When I handed over the Lord of the Flies armor [Master of the High Tower], Dusk Bringer, as expected, jumped up and refused..

“please! Start with your thoughts! Do something! No matter how you look at it, this is your armor, right?!”

“It's a question of efficiency, Archduke..”

I knew Dusk Bringer would come out like this, so I calmly laid out the reasons why she should wear this armor..

The performance of the armor, the difference in armor effectiveness between vanguard and support, the role that Dusk Bringer should play in the future Dragon Raid, her strategic importance, and the fact that my safety, which everyone is worried about, has already been secured.…….

After I talked non-stop for about 30 minutes, Dusk Bringer finally surrendered, tearing out his head..

“Stop, okay, stop! I know I can’t beat you with my words, so stop.-!”

“Then, the Archduke will wear this armor.?”

“Don't do that right now. Right now... … Yehyo.”

I smiled and took out the armor from the box and put it on Dusk Bringer..

Dusk Bringer gave me a complex amber look as I served him..

“But is there any reason for you to wear it??”

“Isn’t it nice to have my cute nephew wear it??”

“Sounds like a nephew, a grandson or something.…….”

I dressed the duke, a distant, grumbling girl who looked like a distant relative of my grandmother, in full armor..

Finally, to put on the helmet, she had to take off the silver crown she was wearing..

“…….”

Dusk Bringer fidgeted with the broken and restored crown in his hand for a moment with mixed emotions in his eyes, and then set it aside..

He then wore a helmet with a halo-shaped crown attached to his head..

“Hoo.”

Wearing the full set, she looked down at her body for a moment in admiration..

“where…….”

As she closed her eyes and concentrated, the halo part of her helmet emitted white light... … Armor size has been adjusted.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The helmet tightened to fit the size of her small head, and the chains disassembled and reassembled neatly..

A moment later, Dusk Bringer spun around in place, wearing a nice, form-fitting black coat..

“That's a fun armor. There seems to be a hidden function as well. Above all, I can feel the vivid darkness.”

“Would you mind??”

“of course. This much darkness, this much curse is ridiculous..”

Dusk Bringer laughed bitterly..

“The darkness and curse committed by Gwain are by no means shallow..”

“…….”

“Dress well, Ash. And since I'm wearing such good armor, I'll be active at the forefront of the front line..”

Dusk Bringer then turned his worried gaze towards me..

“And please, as the leader of this front... … Take care of yourself a little more.”

“…….”

“This is the mantra I raise as the leader of the friendly forces in your alliance. Listen seriously. got it?”

“Okay, Grand Duke..”

I nodded..

“I don't want to die either. I will take care of my safety first..”

***

“……When you say that, it seems like you are giving up all your armor to your other subordinates..”

Lucas looked at me with sullen eyes and said.

Armor made from Tustibean leather and scales had begun to be produced in the blacksmith shop, and samples of mass-produced models had been secured, so Lucas' new armor [Black Phosphorus] was also about to return to its owner..

Lucas gave me a worried look as he finally put on his new armor..

It seemed like my name was not on the assignment list for mass-produced armor..

I was so shocked that I laughed out loud..

“Why is everyone so worried about me like I’m a child who was thrown into the water? Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself. And how many emergency measures do I have? Don't worry.”

hey! I'm a system user! Do you know the status window?! Status! If you shout out, the system interface will pop up in front of your eyes! I have several times more cheats than you, but I don't lack them. stop worrying.

“……That's because everyone is so anxious..”

Lucas, wearing all the beautiful black scale armor, then exhaled..

“The battles so far have been difficult, but this battle to subdue the black dragon... … The burden I feel from the bottom of my heart is different..”

“…….”

“Until then, it was just a fight against a hideous and evil monster. But this time, it feels like I'm fighting something above the clouds. It literally feels like I'm pointing a sword at God..”

“I'm afraid?”

“I was always afraid of being afraid. However, if it was enough to calm the trembling of the body for now, in front of the dragon... … Should I say that even my soul trembles?.”

I was a little surprised by Lucas' honest confession..

Lucas, who was always the first to throw himself into enemy lines, was actually fighting his own fears, and… … The fact that this time he feels even more fearful..

‘My [Indomitable Commander] prevents mental abnormalities..’

But apart from that, all of my heroes have struggled with their own inner fears..

Yongjong is of a different class from the previous monsters. This is especially true for the Night Bringer, the leader of the Black Dragon Corps..

Can we really defeat that transcendent being...? … . Everyone is probably having similar concerns..

“after. That's good.”

[[Black Phosphorus] After finishing wearing it, Lucas straightened his posture and looked in the mirror..

It is a very good armor that is not inferior to Evangeline’s [Snow White]..

In the game, these two final armors were very popular among Lookduck users with their Lihwarible, Real White, Real Black coloring. It looks pretty and performs well..

‘It's the same with the old [Midnight and Dusk] set, and all the Ribble armor is Lucas's..’

Since the Black Dragon Corps' equipment was all black, the overall color scheme of the heroes was becoming dull. It's stylish though.

“lord.”

At that time, with his back turned to me, but with bright blue eyes shining in the mirror, Lucas spoke to me..

“Please allow the use of [Xcanival] in future battles.…….”

“Yeah, absolutely not.”

I flatly refused. Lucas immediately sank with a 'burdock' sound. Where did the cold weather from a little while ago go?.

“…….”

Lucas' exclusive weapon [Granted Sword] is very good equipment..

It has infinite durability, increased attack range, and matches perfectly with Lucas' own skills. It is excellent as a terminal equipment..

However, it does not have the devastating attack performance of the magic sword [Xcanival] recovered from the Fallen King. That's also true.

In the Tustivean Raid right now, Lucas' sword strike had a hard time tearing the guy's scales..

Lucas must have felt that a stronger attack was needed to defeat the remaining dragons. That's probably why he asked for permission to use the magic sword..

‘Of course I know.’

If the worst situation comes, you will have to wear wild beast boots or x-carnival shoes..

But if such a situation arises, it should be me who orders its use..

It should be me who orders my right-hand knight to take on the darkness. It's not of this guy's own will..

Because then the responsibility lies with me..

‘More than anything, this guy abuses it too much.!’

If I release it, it is clear that they will use it without taking care of their own bodies..

“In any case, the use of a magic sword is prohibited! This story is over.”

After nailing it one more time, I took out the list and looked at it..

“Among the vanguard characters, there is one with less dragon slayer armor and weapon settings. Let's see.…….”

It's time to leave for the next raid. There is an urgent need to set up equipment, but the heroes are not yet finished.…….

“Kuilan, and.”

I glanced at Lucas..

“Hecate.”

“……!”

“Both are refusing to provide equipment. Whether you scold or persuade, you need to put it on quickly and listen..”

I gave an order to Lucas, who hesitated..

“I'll go to Kuilan, you can go to Hecate..”

“……When are you talking about??”

I grinned. Then Lucas also smiled awkwardly..

“Right now, you son of a bitch.!”

The next raid is just around the corner. When and what is it? Hurry up and get out.!
