Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 673
◈ 673. [STAGE 40] Blackening (2)
Jeez. Jeopuk.
Dusk Bringer left the barracks and walked down the street, staggering..
She walked forward, not caring that her long black hair was stained with falling snow and tangled in the hot wind blowing from the east.-
I stopped for a moment when I saw a group of people approaching from the opposite direction..
“Hoo…….”
Dusk Bringer let out a quiet exclamation..
“Everyone is quite… … Isn't it fierce?.”
The people who came striding in front of her were heroes belonging to the monster front..
Starting with Lucas holding the magic sword, heroes holding the dragon slayer, and heroes wearing the nightmare slayer.…….
Everyone was as black as if they were covered in the blood of an evil dragon, without hiding the boiling revenge in their eyes, without even thinking about washing their faces with dried bloody tears... … We were walking east together.
The heroes stopped in front of Dusk Bringer for a moment. Dusk Bringer gestured toward the east..
“Why are you going to the east? Now there is nothing but a sea of fire spewed out by the black dragon..”
“……So I'm going.”
Lucas answered, glaring at Dusk Bringer with his bright blue eyes..
“There is no better place to forge our spirit than there..”
“…….”
“My body seems to have recovered to some extent, so… … We will 'prepare' to face the black dragon..”
Demon Sword, Dragon Slayer, and Nightmare Slayer…….
In addition to these equipment, the darkness emanating from within the heroes was stirring behind each person like a haze..
When the brake called Ash was in place, I could never go into the darkness... … Everyone was deep in silence..
Dusk Bringer laughed helplessly..
“Everyone is becoming a great evil spirit, Rakshasa, and Sura..”
“Only then will you be able to avenge your master..”
Lucas shot dryly..
“It looks like the Grand Duke still retains his human form..”
“Don't worry. My ugliness will never lag behind your resolve..”
A dangerous red light scattered within Dusk Bringer's eyes. Lucas sensed this and narrowed his bright blue eyes..
Dusk Bringer whispered softly as the heroes passed each other..
“Just, kids. You can dip your toes in this mud, but don't go too deep..”
“…….”
“You don't have to fall into hell either..”
Dusk Bringer's small body headed across the street, swept away by the pouring snow wind, and soon disappeared from view..
“……Talking smugly.”
Lucas growled and started walking again. He was followed by heroes with fierce eyes..
and.
“…….”
Evangeline was standing on top of a nearby tower, watching the heroes tremble and cross each other anxiously..
Behind her stood the rest of the heroes who had not given in to the darkness, looking equally worried..
Damian, who had not yet recovered his eyesight and had his eyes bandaged, sat with his back against the wall of the tower and was silent with a haggard look on his face..
‘What happens?.’
Evangeline gritted her teeth and tightly gripped the flagpole in her hand..
‘how do we…….’
A long black flag without anything on it, symbolizing the world defense front, was blown around by a gust of wind..
Evangeline looked up at the flag and pressed her heated eyes with the back of her hand..
Everyone was immersed in darkness to avenge the person they loved, and Evangeline was able to fully understand their feelings..
Because I felt like I was going crazy with anger and hatred right now..
but… … Is this really the path Ash wants??
If Ash were here, what would they have done?…….
‘Seniors…….’
Evangeline looked down at her shield..
His own weak shield, too small and thin to protect the whole world.…….
‘Now I… … What can you protect??’
***
Temple. ward.
“Umm…….”
Serenade's silver eyes, which had been twitching while lying on the bed, opened..
My whole body was throbbing. Her mind was blank. Her head was hot and her body was heavy..
Serenade looked around with barely opened eyes..
“here is……?”
“master?!”
After discovering that Serenade had regained consciousness, Elise urgently rushed to the bedside..
“Master, this is Elise! Would you like to find out??!”
“Ah, Elise… … Of course I'll find out... … what's the matter? What happened… … Ugh.”
Serenade, who was trying to get up, gritted her teeth because of the pain that surged throughout her body. Elise held onto that serenade and laid her down again..
“what… … why am i in the hospital……?”
“master. That is…….”
Elise explained the situation..
The building at the top of Wintersilver was swept away by the Night Bringer's breath..
By luck, the other employees escaped the disaster because they were in the warehouse of the building next door, but Serenade was caught in the collapse of the main building and was seriously injured..
It has been more than a day since he was taken to the temple and treated..
“Other employees at the top also suffered major and minor injuries, but are all safe. The owner was hurt the most..”
“Still, I'm glad. No one was seriously injured other than me.…….”
Serenade reached out and touched Elise's hand..
“You also came back alive.”
“master…….”
Elise, who was trying to smile awkwardly, stiffened at the question from the serenade that followed..
“By the way, Elise. How was the expedition?……?”
“…….”
“Have you defeated the black dragon? Your Majesty, you are okay.……?”
Elise swallowed her dry saliva..
how should i answer?
Elise hesitated and closed her eyes, then opened the corners of her mouth with difficulty..
“Sure, master. His Majesty the Prince…….”
Elise was planning to lie until Serenade's condition improved. I didn't want Serenade, who was seriously injured, to weaken her heart..
However, the next words did not come out..
Tears slowly welled up in Elise's royal blue eyes, which were always like razor-sharp blades..
In front of Serenade, who blinked in surprise, Elise ended up shedding tears..
“Sorry, master. sorry…….”
“Elise. what's the matter? why are you crying…….”
“Because I’m not good enough… … Because I can’t go out… … Stop, His Royal Highness.…….”
Elise finished her sentence with a voice crushed by crying..
“Couldn't keep it…….”
The color drained from Serenade's face..
Elise slowly but surely reported the progress of the Heroes' Expedition's battle. Serenade muttered absentmindedly..
“missing… … That you have become?”
Serenade struggled to get up and leaned against the back of the bed, placing a hand on her dizzy forehead. She tried to think positively.
He went missing last year too. Like a lie, I came back after half a year.
The man was always like that. He would huff, without saying anything, he would go away, and then he would come back calmly and smirk..
Even if my insides are burning black, even if I spend countless nights worrying about him and crying... … When I came back and saw that face smiling heartily, the words of her resentment would disappear inside, unable to come out of my mouth..
He was that kind of man.
So, this time too. Wouldn’t it be okay this time too?…….
‘iced coffee.’
Serenade clutched her chest and leaned forward..
But I had no choice but to know. This time is different from then.
The world was falling apart, and destruction was just around the corner. And the person who stood at the forefront to stop it collapsed, bleeding at the bottom of hell..
Serenade was a merchant. He was also the owner of one of the world's leading merchants..
She was good at counting. Therefore, she was able to naturally and quickly guess the outcome of this incident..
It's over.
everything.
‘If that person isn't there, I…….’
It was difficult to breathe.
Thin teardrops flowed down Serenade's dazed silver eyes..
Serenade fell into the illusion that her whole body was being torn apart as the world collapsed..
‘There's no reason to live…….’
It felt like my soul was falling out of the ground..
Serenade's staggering body slowly fell to the side..
Serenade thought absentmindedly as she fell, it would be nice if she could fall to the bottom where the man was lying..
widely-
at that time.
A firm hand reached out and supported Serenade's shoulder, stopping her from falling..
“Don't do that..”
It was a tired, but strong voice..
“It's too early to despair. So, calm down..”
When the surprised Serenade turned around blankly, there was-
Lily, sitting in a wheelchair, holding a sleeping Sid in her arms, was facing the serenade with a strong face..
“Take a deep breath. ruler. slowly.”
As Lily gently stroked her back, the serenade breathing that had almost stopped resumed..
“Breathe in. Exhale. That's right. That's right. good job. Inhale again, exhale again…….”
Holding Serenade's slightly trembling body tightly by the shoulder, Lily whispered softly..
“The world isn't over yet.”
We went through the same pain, but survived until now..
Lily's voice was laced with pain and even stronger determination..
“So, take a breath..”
Serenade closed her eyes tightly, then opened them..
Yes.
The world will end one day. Maybe it's only a few hours, maybe a few minutes, maybe even seconds.
but, but,
It's not over yet.
therefore…….
“live.”
Not yet.
must fight.
The serenade's tremors subsided..
Lily smiled softly. Serenade looked at Lily and nodded slowly..
Even if that person never comes back... … I have work to do.
Even for the meaning that that person left behind.
I can't just sit here and die..
Lily hugged Serenade once as she calmed down. Serenade couldn't bring herself to say thank you, so she hugged Lily..
After a brief hug, Serenade took a deep breath and looked towards Elise..
“elise.”
Facing her master, who quickly regained her clarity, Elise straightened her back and waited for orders..
Serenade, who was counting what she could do, cautiously asked,.
“Among the collapsed buildings, 'the warehouse' is safe.?”
***
Lake Kingdom Dungeon.
9Between District 10 and District 10 - Bridge.
From there, in the darkness under a cliff a thousand miles away.
Bottom Village, a survivor's residence hidden in the lowest places.
thud! Kugugugugung Palace!
The tremors that had been intermittent a day ago had now become more intense..
As if the dungeon below the lake knew that the end of the world had come, he dropped his body noisily..
“It's a mess, it's a mess…….”
An old man dressed like a beggar looked at the shaking world and babbled..
He was a sword demon, a resident and chief of the village at the bottom. Next to him was his wife, Changgui, who was holding a javelin like a cane and clicking her tongue..
“This damn world is finally coming to an end, honey.”
“That's right. wife. Is my honeymoon with you, whom I'm sick of, finally coming to an end?.”
“Oh, you want to immediately and actively search for it like that? Don't say anything sooner. I would have done well with this spear..”
“Uh huh. You should listen carefully, man. The honeymoon is over? Now is the real married life starting..”
“Hehe, I never thought newlywed life would be this long. They say marriage is the grave of one's life, and there's nothing wrong with that.?”
“Giggle, let's stay buried under this tomb together longer, son..”
The village chief and his wife, who were laughing haha, shut their mouths at the same time and looked away. Their gaze was directed towards the center of the village..
“By the way, that young fellow didn't bring the gold coins he was supposed to give back then.…….”
“What the hell is that?.”
center of bottom village.
There, pitch-black blood was floating in the shape of a huge sphere, and in the flow of that blood,…….
Ash was locked..
With both eyes tightly closed, face as pale as death.
There was a deep sword wound carved in the center of the chest, and the black blood surrounding it was being sucked in and out repeatedly..
“Whoa whoa……!”
King Poseidon stood in front of the black-blooded orb..
King Poseidon, standing holding a trident and controlling the black blood sphere, was covered in burns all over his body..
Even though his injuries were serious, he was busy taking care of Ash's condition..
“…….”
“…….”
Sword Demon and Chang Demon quietly watch this strange sight.,
thud! Kugugugugung Palace……!
The entire Lake Kingdom shook loudly once more..
And followed by.
Jeez. Jeopuk.
I heard footsteps from behind..
When Sword Demon and Chang Demon turned around, what appeared in the darkness behind them was……
“so.”
A man dressed as a clown slowly lowers the flute in his mouth and adjusts his white smiling mask.-
Court jester of the Lake Kingdom.
It was a crown.
Crown asked, his cold eyes shining beneath the mask..
“When will this crazy ‘surgery’ end??”
