Became a tyrant of defense games (Episode 647)

◈ 647. [Free Exploration] Eyes of the Black Dragon

- Say it, last player. Fighting to prevent the destruction of the world, what kind of death do you wish for??

“…….”

I clenched my fists, remembering the question the Night Bringer asked..

It was the same now as it was then..

What I want to look at, what I want to aim for, is not death. It's not the end.

It's life.

What follows after the ending - This is the spring landscape that unfolds behind that long, dark tunnel..

- When your simple hopes are trampled and burned.

I gritted my teeth and tried to erase the words of the True Black Dragon that followed from my mind..

- When vain hope disappears, even the firm resolve is broken, and destruction finally arrives before our eyes.…….

But the words he left stuck with me until the very end..

- How nice it will be to see the tears you will pour out. Looks like it would be fun just to watch.

“…….”

Anyway, I wonder who is not the commander of the Nightmare Corps?.

Every word I said felt like a nightmare. Crazy pervert sadist dragon king bastard…….

I swallowed down the cursing about the True Black Dragon and looked at his two sons in turn..

“Aside from being the Night Bringer's clone and appendage, you stuck to our side.?”

《What am I… … Is it because I was born with the only opposite scales on my father's body? From the beginning, he was a problem child who did not listen to his father..》

Skylian looked towards Parekhian and adjusted his glasses with an interested expression..

《I’m also amazed by Parekhian. This kid… … What can I say? Originally, he was the one with the weakest ego among us. now…….》

Even though the constellation gathering was over, Parekhian was still looking up at the night sky..

Among them, the constellation I learned about for the first time today… … I kept staring at the spot of the toenail..

Behind him, Violet yawned and patted Parekhian's head. Whining, ‘Let’s go to sleep~’.

《Anyway, I wish you strength in your battle tomorrow..》

The Skalian with a thin smile winked at me..

《There are still many mountains to overcome, right? Don't give up already.》

“…….”

That's true.

Tomorrow's Aipian Raid is the final gateway to reach the Night Bringer. It's a prelude before the real fight..

‘A complete victory... … Going to the final battle with the True Black Dragon.’

I somehow crawl through the path to the strategy that is as narrow as the eye of a needle..

That's all I have to do.

***

next morning.

The heroes who gathered early in the morning finished checking their equipment and entered the Lake Kingdom dungeon..

I headed to the District 9 dungeon where Aipian’s rare is located – ‘Guards Military Camp’..

This is a facility where the Royal Guard that protected the royal family of the Lake Kingdom is said to have served. Although it only sounds like a military camp, in reality it is no different from a fortress..

It's an ugly little place now in ruins, but.

“…….”

Gooooo…….

9The outermost part of the area. A dark, ugly, decayed and collapsed fortress welcomed us..

It was strange to see such a brutal facility built in a city, and on the other hand, it suited the current state of the Lake Kingdom..

In fact, the sophisticated and beautiful appearances from before were even more strange..

This city is a ruin that has sunk beneath the lake for over 500 years. This ugly and insidious atmosphere may be more appropriate..

And, near the entrance of this fort…….

“ash.”

Anonymous was waiting.

“cotton!”

As I greeted them warmly, Dusk Bringer, who was walking with me at the head of the group, stretched out his hand..

“Hey, unknown sister..”

“Dusk brother, welcome back.”

“…….”

No, I really don't get used to these two's nicknames.…….

In addition, Nameless exchanged brief greetings with the heroes under my command, and even spotted two dragons following him at the end of the group..

“……The composition has become quite diverse..”

I didn't point my sword at them because I knew they were captured, but the sight of the unknown looking at the two dragons was by no means kind..

Parekhian also made a growling engine sound inside his body, as if he was in a bad mood. Only Skarian noticed and broke into a cold sweat..

“I will guide you. It's this way.”

When Nameless stretched out his hand, the tightly closed iron gate of the fortress rose upward, making a rumbling sound and scattering a lot of dust in all directions..

An unknown person led the way into the old passage, and we followed one after another, holding our torches high above our heads..

“…….”

I was lost in thought as I walked down a short passageway filled with a musty smell..

Among the black dragon's children, Winged Juan, Skyrian, and Aifian are all similar in strength..

However, there is something to consider here... … Winged Juan's strength is the combined strength of his subordinates..

Winged Juan mobilized a legion of his subordinates called Guardians and joined with his subordinates to attack..

So, he was a very difficult opponent in the game. We were able to easily win because we had the means to deal with mental domination..

In other words, Winged Juan, excluding his subordinates... … It is clearly weaker than Skyrian or Aipian..

‘I almost got killed by that weak Winged Juan..’

If you consider only the fighting power of the main body, Aipian is far superior to him. It will not be an easy battle.

‘But I knew the strategy well and had enough tactical training..’

I looked around at the heroes under my command. The heroes who made eye contact with me nodded in unison. I grinned..

can win. enough.

Soon the dusty passage was over..

The end of the passage led inside the fortress, which was much larger than expected and had a simple structure..

The fortress had round stone walls and had no ceiling, so the sky was clear. At the end of the passage, there was a stone building that was believed to have been used by the Royal Guard..

The wide dirt floor leading from the end of the passage was empty and empty of anything. Anonymous stopped in front of the dirt floor and looked back at us..

“As soon as you enter this fortress courtyard, he will jump out. I guess you're ready?”

“of course.”

“And Ash, you know.”

Anonymous winked..

“If you can occupy the top of the castle wall, you will be able to win the battle to your advantage..”

There is a dungeon gimmick that can only be used during the Aipian raid and only in this dungeon, ‘Guards Camp’..

The use of this will determine the victory or defeat of this battle. Obscurity reminded me of that..

So I prepared in advance, but a friend's advice is always valuable..

“Thanks for the advice, anonymous..”

“good. Then let’s dive in… … . three, two, one!”

Nameless took a deep breath and ran out in front, followed by Dusk Bringer and the vanguard heroes..

The heroes ran to my left and right in the order in which they trained, and quickly formed an anti-dragon battle formation in the courtyard of the fortress..

I walked slowly, stood behind the heroes, and placed the flag on the ground. widely!

One moment, a short moment of silence.

and.

hook-

A dry wind blew from somewhere and made the flag I planted flutter..

at the same time,

widely! widely! widely! widely! widely!

Torches were lit all at once along the walls of the fortress, and finally, a huge beacon lit up on the roof of the Royal Guard military camp building..

The interior of the fortress, which had been immersed in darkness, became brightly lit..

The center of the illuminated fortress.

There was a shabby chair on the dirt floor, and the man was sitting there..

He had close-cropped black hair and was wearing armor that tightly covered his entire body. And it was a man wearing long earrings as decoration..

And this man…….

Nod. Nodding.

……was dozing off.

I don't care if intruders come in or if the lights come on... … He fell into a deep sleep as if it didn't matter what was going on around him..

The man had three eyes, and there was another vertically elongated eye between his eyebrows..

Its middle and left eyes were wide open and glaring at us, but its right eye was tightly closed and it continued to nod its head and doze off..

My body was dozing off, but my mouth was opening and spewing out random words..

《……Wake up, right. I am a guest.》

《Damn it, why do I lose all control to this guy when I fall asleep?……!》

While trying to somehow wake up my right eye, my left eye and my left eye looked at each other..

《Let's go back to the real thing. Then the right side will also wake up..》

《shit. What kind of disgrace is this?……!》

flashing-!

A terrifying wind poured out from the man's body along with light..

A strong gust of wind blew and filled the fortress's courtyard. Even though the wind blew our cloaks and hair, we stared straight ahead without moving..

and.

slap……!

It seemed like something huge was rising up into the sky, creating a gust of wind with its huge tentacle wings..

Kugu Palace……!

It landed on the stone guard building at the end of the fortress, on the other side of the passage we entered..

It was a huge black dragon.

Black scales cover the entire body like well-refined armor. Three necks split over a smooth, streamlined body. Above them, each head with wide-open eyes spewing out a terrifying golden light..

Three-headed evil dragon.

Three-headed dragon. Black Dragon's Eye, Aipian.

He stretched out his long three-pronged neck and quietly looked down with his three heads... … The middle head opened his mouth in a serious voice..

《Coming this far is even more amazing than I expected. Guardian of royalties.》

Immediately afterwards, the left side of his head screamed..

《Is it time to acknowledge this bastard who is so bad?! Even if I burn it, kill it, chew it, swallow it, and then present it to my father, it won't be enough.!》

Then the right side of his head blinked his sleepy eye..

《Leave me alone when I sleep... … If you're going to kill me, kill me quickly, then let's go rest... … I'm dying because my eyelids are closed…….》

Then the right side of my head really started to nod off..

Like this, the three heads glared at each other, slandered each other, and fought among themselves..

“…….”

Although he seemed completely devoid of the majesty of an enemy commander. I swallowed dry saliva..

A dragon with three heads, each with its own ego, who is enacting a literal triumvirate at every moment... … IPian.

This monster, the most powerful in terms of combat power among the children of the black dragon, has finally arrived before us..

This side was very tense, but Aipian's middle head and left head continued to fight..

《They are the warriors of the reversal who have protected royalties. Being polite to each other before going into battle will raise the dignity of this life-or-death situation..》

《Do you look classy now?! That bastard killed all my younger brothers.!》

The left head, which was growling fiercely, soon found Parekhian and Skalian standing quietly behind us..

《No, not scales and claws. Was she alive? But what are you doing there??》

Skarian adjusted his glasses and broke into a cold sweat. And he answered honestly.

《……I came to see you, brother..》

giiiiing-

Parekhian only made a low, meaningless engine noise..

《Ho, yeah……?》

The left head laughed cruelly.

《I'll hear the details later, okay. First of all, take a good look there, you ugly little brothers.…….》

Kiiiiing!

The golden light drained from the eyes of the right and middle head, and the eye of the left head burned that much brighter..

‘It meant that the left head held the initiative..

《I'll finish it off in an instant, without you even having time to look.-!》

Tookkuk-!

Aipian kicked off the stone building he was standing on and rose up..

Just from that repulsive force, cracks widened in the building and it began to collapse, and the Aipian that rose up, leaving behind the collapsing building, came crashing down on our heads..

“It’s a flooring machine! evasion-!”

At the same time as I shouted, Aipian's large body attacked us - followed by its huge tail sweeping the floor..

A hand-to-hand combat that started right away. A tail swing that destroys the entire area..

However, because we had trained ad nauseam to counter the floor plan, all of our heroes kicked off the ground and rose up - and were able to easily dodge the attack without anyone getting hit..

A smile formed on my face without me knowing. Did he see that smile? Aipian asked in an annoyed voice..

《Why are you smiling, guardian of royalties?……?》

“Then I can't smile and I feel exhausted.?”

I shouted cheerfully and pointed at the guy..

“The first step of the battle was done ideally well.!”

《……?!》

I'm not just saying this because I was good at dodging the first attack..

Sensing something, Aipian urgently turned his head to the side and found it..

widely! Cracking!

A series of our heroes leap over the outer wall of the fortress as if flying and climb up on the wall..

At the head was Diarmudin, with the black-gray wings on his robe spread wide. The old wizard smiled evilly, waving his long white beard..

Yes.

This is a group of wizards and ranged dealers, as well as a reserve party that has been with us since Parekhian. They didn't come in through the front door together from the beginning..

Wait outside the fortress and take a group flight using Diarmudin's new equipment [Old Phoenix]..

They jumped over the outer wall and occupied the fortress walls..

And a gimmick unique to this dungeon - ancient mana cannons were installed in a row on the castle walls..

《under!》

Aipian sneered as he prepared to fly again..

《Are you planning to target me with an old mana cannon from hundreds of years ago? Power aside, are there any humans left who know how to shoot??》

“That's the point.”

I smiled with my teeth showing.

“It's the driving force that allowed me to lead the front line to this point.!”

The heroes on top of the castle wall whined and raised their cannons, turning the muzzles that were pointing outside the fortress towards the inside of the fortress.-

“……long time no see.”

Damian, who had his hand on the trigger, glanced at the sights and jerked the trigger down..

Took bang-!

The fired mana shell draws a beautiful and smooth parabola in the air and then.

It hit the left side of Aipian's head, which was snorting and trying to avoid it, and bent its trajectory to a strange degree, sticking to it like a guided missile..

《……?!》

Aipian could not avoid it..

Kwagwagwagwang!

The evil dragon's head was engulfed in a foggy explosion..
