Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 674
◈ 674. [STAGE 40] Blackening (3)
a day ago.
The Heroic Expedition, defeated by the Night Bringer, retreats.
Immediately after the meeting between Ash and the Nightbringer, who had polymorphed into human form..
Puuk……!
The Night Bringer's scepter pierced Ashe's chest a second time..
If the first stab was simply meant to inflict physical pain, this second stab pierced Ash's spiritual core and shattered his soul..
“ah……!”
Ash's whole body trembled in despair..
The Night Bringer reached out and gently grabbed Ash's neck. The Night Bringer leisurely watched the moment when the small flame of life in his hands went out..
It was then. A faint smile crossed Ash's dying lips..
《hmm?》
Right after the Night Bringer was puzzled because he couldn't understand the meaning of that smile.,
《……?!》
Suddenly, a death attack came from behind..
Night Bringer turned around. Then she saw arrows and magic rain pouring down on him..
The Night Bringer easily blocked all attacks by creating a magic shield. And we looked at the newly appeared forces..
chuck! chuck! chuck!
Those who appear in an orderly manner and aim their weapons at the Night Bringer are those who…….
《Oh, isn't it the court jester and the circus troupe?.》
crown.
And the Eternals under his command were the Nightcrawler unit..
They all wore white smiling masks and calmly surrounded the Night Bringer..
Night Bringer smiled softly while standing with his back to the cliff..
《How dare you rebel against me, clown??》
“Treason, that's a strange word..”
Crown tilted his head..
“You were never my king.”
《The scepter of your kingdom is now in my hands.》
“So you came to steal it now, right?.”
Crown snorted and swung his flute to prepare his men for attack..
“What meaning would there be in the conversation between us? … Get ready to die. black dragon.”
《I don't understand, clown. You know very well that you can't stand against me.》
“Don’t you know very well that we are cursed with eternal life? If you have nothing to lose, you can swing your sword once to reclaim your throne..”
The Nightcrawler force is ready to attack, and the Night Bringer is ready to fight back..
In any case, the Night Bringer was not the type to avoid life-or-death situations, and was also the type to show the minimum amount of courtesy when fighting against anyone who was hostile to him..
“Do it-!”
When Crown raised his flute forward and gave a command, the Nightcrawler troops flashed their white masks and rushed forward..
The Night Bringer spread darkness and crushed them one by one. Even though the Eternals were being wiped out in an instant, they rushed desperately to reach the Night Bringer..
Right at this time.
“…….”
“…….”
There were two old men breathlessly crawling up the side of a cliff..
It was a sword demon and a spear demon..
The two old men came up screaming, each holding a toothless sword and a broken javelin in their mouths, and rushed at the Night Bringer..
“Hey, dragon head! Listen carefully! This bridge-”
“This is the courtyard where we do business.!”
The Night Bringer had no idea that a surprise attack would come from the side of the cliff without any sign, so the Night Bringer allowed the attack to proceed..
The two monsters were powerful men who were not inferior to any other heroes on earth..
Once the surprise attack and approach were allowed, the swords and spears of the two monsters tore apart the body of the Night Bringer, who was polymorphed into a human..
Of course, the Night Bringer immediately regenerated wounds of this magnitude, but-
The arm was cut off in an instant, and Ash held in the arm was thrown into the air..
《……!》
The Night Bringer immediately regenerated his arm and stretched out his arm to grab Ash..
His hand grabbed the flag that was hanging from the flagpole that Ash was holding.,
Crackling……!
His grip was so strong that the flag was torn apart in his hands..
Ash's body, pushed into the air, fell down a thousand-way cliff and disappeared into the darkness..
《…….》
The Night Bringer laughed as he looked down the cliff where Ash fell and disappeared..
《It's annoying, those bugs that don't die…….》
“I'll stop bothering you, so please kill me.!”
“Even if you search anyway, you will be resurrected again, Siitpaal-!”
The Sword Demon and Spear Demon, who were shouting and attacking, were unable to avoid the barrage of magical power that poured down in the next moment, and were blown to smithereens..
The remaining Night Crawler forces were also swept away by the darkness emitted by the Night Bringer and were quickly destroyed..
“Anyway, what is good about this dilapidated country?…….”
Crown, who was alive until the end, was also crushed to death..
“everyone… … Are you making a fuss to become king?…….”
Quack-!
The crown was shattered by the darkness wielded by the Night Bringer..
The blood and corpses of the deceased Sword Demon, Spear Demon, and members of the Night Crawler unit all turned into black fog and disappeared..
The immortals of this country who were cursed with eternal life always disappeared in this way..
After confirming that there were no more intruders left, the Night Bringer looked down the distant cliff again..
《……hmm.》
I broke my soul anyway..
Ash died. There was no way she could survive.
But the Night Bringer was not the type to let down his guard..
《Still, just in case…….》
Taaak!
When the Night Bringer lightly snapped his fingers, two of his supporting heads appeared in the air on his left and right.…….
Quaaaaa-!
He opened his mouth and poured black flames onto the cliff below the bridge..
A huge black flame burned down the entire area under the bridge. After pouring out black flames for a while, the satisfied Night Bringer extinguished the flames..
At this rate, the flames would have reached all the way down to the floor. The body would not have left even ashes..
The Night Bringer suddenly realized that Ash's flag remained in his hand..
《Might as well burn this on the ground.》
There is no better declaration of war than burning the opponent's flag..
He grabbed the flag and walked toward the main gate of the Lake Kingdom. Now it was time to invade Royalty..
So the Night Bringer left, and after a while.
Beneath the cliff, still blazing with black flames-
Quack!
A hand covered in soot came up..
“Heo-eok, heo-eok……!”
The one who climbed up was... … It was King Poseidon, the mermaid king..
Despite all the power of the tribal god and deploying a water-based defense shield, he suffered terrible burns all over his body..
However, Ashman in his arms was protected..
‘Prince Ash…….’
King Poseidon looked at Ash..
The soul was broken, but the body was still living in a state of suspended animation. Of course, this is only temporarily stopped by magic, so it won't last long..
‘We have to hurry..’
The Xcarnival that fell off the cliff with Ash in the chaos was already in his hands..
King Poseidon imbued this demon sword with the magic power of the race god, causing it to vomit out the contents it had swallowed just before..
Took, Toduk…….
The contents, which even Xcarnival could not immediately digest, formed on the blade and scattered on the floor..
dragon's blood).
It was blood drawn directly from the heart of the Night Bringer's chest. Even though the Night Bringer was polymorphed when he stabbed the demon sword, this blood was real..
“Huh! Heo Eok!”
After extracting all the dragon's blood from the Excarnival, he randomly stuck the magic sword into the ground.
King Poseidon placed his trident on the ground. Then, the dragon's blood extracted directly from the Night Bringer's chest changed into a round water droplet and floated into the air..
King Poseidon put this dragon's blood directly into Ash's chest wound..
Exciting!
Ash's body, which had been frozen like a stuffed animal with his eyes closed, shook violently once..
“yet……!”
King Poseidon gritted his teeth and continued with the next process. He struck his trident on the ground again..
Subsequently, a huge amount of blood was scattered throughout the battlefield - the other blood of the Night Bringer spilled by the Heroic Expedition also condensed into a single huge droplet and floated into the air..
King Poseidon placed Ash's body in this giant droplet-shaped dragon blood..
“…….”
Everything to do here is done..
However, the remaining surgeries could not be completed here. If even one black dragon came back or another monster came, everything would be in vain..
The remaining time was running out, and in the end there was only one option..
King Poseidon stood on the edge of a cliff and looked down. I could see the darkness below still burning with black flames..
“after.”
As always in life, it was do or die.
He took a deep breath, summoned a water shield again with the power of the race god, and fell down with Ash..
***
today.
Below the cliff. bottom village.
King Poseidon continued to perform Ash's surgery in this place where no monsters knew of its existence..
The resurrected Sword Demon and Chang Demon were busy putting out the black flames that had spread throughout the village, and only with the help of Crown, who joined them late, were they able to put out all the fire..
And we ended up waiting together for the surgery to be completed..
“By the way, we are cooperating like this because we have a promise from the prince..”
The sword demon asked while looking at the crown..
“Why are you helping me??”
Before the Heroic Expedition departs.
Ash came to the Lake Kingdom in advance with King Poseidon and asked for their help..
The village at the bottom is connected to the dried up drainage ditch in the area 1 dungeon, but the waterways are so complicated that I couldn't find my way there..
However, as the flood approached, the waterways filled with water, and King Poseidon, who could read the flow of water, found a way..
Ash, who visited the bottom village again, did not pay the promised gold coins. Instead he proposed something completely different.
Since they could not refuse the offer, the Sword Demon, Spear Demon, and Bottom Village decided to cooperate with Ash again..
But the crown?
Why are you helping Ash??
Crown received the remark bluntly..
“……It's not your business to interfere. robbery.”
Changgui got angry at being called a robber..
“No, I'm still a citizen of the country my father ruled. Isn't it too much to treat him like a robber, Prince? Well, I had to do a little robbery.!”
“…….”
“Of course, he was not a citizen, but a non-citizen underneath. Still, the world has come to this point, so even those of us who have memories of a time when the kingdom was fine had to become close friends.?”
The Sword Demon and the Spear Demon smiled and put their arms around Crown from both sides. Crown got fed up and pushed them both away..
“……I also just received a promise from Ash..”
But surprisingly, he answered calmly..
Crown himself wasn't sure why the answer came. Perhaps, he was moved by the title “prince,” which he had not heard in a long time..
The Sword Demon and the Spear Demon tilted their heads..
“promise?”
“okay.”
Crown looked up with a complex look inside the mask..
At the end of the gaze was Ash, buried in swirling dragon blood..
“My sister... … promise to save you.”
“The prince's sister? Then our princess says?”
“okay.”
Crown laughed..
“He said he thought he knew. How to save my sister.”
“…….”
“I think it's an obvious lie, but... … If it's that guy, I thought you might not know. Even now, when everything is final... … No, because it is the last time, there is nothing left to lose anyway..”
It doesn't matter if it's a vain hope.
Whether the world is destroyed by the black dragon or not.
It's all over soon anyway.
I just hope there is at least a little salvation for my sister before then..
“So I decided to help. That's all.”
“Hooooo…….”
Sword Demon and Changgui, who were making strange exclamations, turned their heads..
Crown also looked there, and someone staggered out from inside the shabby house of Sword Demon and Changgui..
“Ugh… … Where is this?……?”
With white hair that flows down to the floor, and an old iron sword on his back.…….
She was an unknown merchant and dethroned princess of the Lake Kingdom..
“I was definitely attacked by the Night Bringer and fell off the cliff.…….”
“Hey, our princess is awake too.!”
The Sword Demon and the Spear Demon ran in front of Nameless, muttering. Nameless looked at the two in confusion..
“Long time no see, princess! How have you been??”
“Sword Demon? Changgui? Ah, then this is it…….”
“Draw, draw! This is the bottom village where we live.!”
“This is how I keep my promise to meet the princess at some point! I didn't know you would suddenly fall from above.!”
These were all survivors of the Lake Kingdom, living in hell below the lake. After being intertwined for hundreds of years, they had no choice but to be spherical..
After expressing gratitude to the Sword Demon and Spear Demon for saving him from falling from above, Nameless looked at Crown standing behind him in surprise..
“Brother… … no, crown?”
“Have you come to your senses, unknown?.”
“Why is the crown here?……?”
“That's because that guy brought us together.”
Crown pointed in the direction where Ash was, and the nameless person who looked in that direction opened his turquoise eyes wide..
“ash? This golden drink could not be... … become a dragon……?!”
“This guy Ash planned it. And, it looks like we're almost done..”
As soon as the words fell.
Shoot ahhh……!
The black blood sphere that Ash was locked in lost its shape and poured down to the floor. King Poseidon, who performed the surgery, lost all his strength and collapsed to the floor..
And, in the dragon blood that poured out, staining the floor black,…….
widely.
Ash, whose entire body was soaked in black blood, stepped on the ground..
“…….”
There was silence everywhere..
Not only Nameless and Crown, but even Sword Demon and Spear Demon were tense and silent..
And, at the end of the ominous silence…….
“Haaa…….”
Ash let out a long breath and brushed back his black, blood-soaked hair..
The eyes that slowly open through the wet, haphazardly tangled black hair are unmistakably golden..
Also, it has a vertically slit pupil that is unique to polyps... … It was a dragon eye..
“……what.”
Ash looked around with very tired eyes, looked down at his body, slowly clenched and unclenched his fists, and let out a laugh as if it was absurd..
“I guess I was quite crowded. Do something like this.”
“……?”
“Anyway, did you steal the black dragon's blood? Why on earth would you do something like this? … Oh, isn't it? If you inherit the Red Dragon, you will become a Dragon Lady... … aha. indeed.”
As if evaluating someone else's work rather than your own work..
Ash, who was muttering to himself and assessing the situation, walked unsteadily and casually sat down on the floor next to him, leaning his back against the collapsed stone wall..
Then he looked around with his ever more decadent and haggard eyes and gestured..
“cigarette.”
Among those who were dazed, the Sword Demon asked back in bewilderment..
“uh? what?”
“Cigarettes. Robber inspiration. no cigarettes?”
“this… … There is, but.”
“Then bring it, quickly… … Because I feel like I'm going to fall. hurry.”
The sword demon was confused, but went into his house and brought a cigarette. It was one of the things that had been washed up in the bottom village here..
“What is this? It’s all rotten… … Damn it. You look just like me.”
Ash calmly put the cigarette in his mouth and skillfully created a black flame with his fingertips and lit the cigarette..
“Whoa whoa…….”
An old, rotten cigarette was burning and smoking. Only after spitting out a long puff of smoke from his dry lips did Ash look at least a little at peace..
“I think I'll buy some... … No, damn it. I'm still so tired…….”
For some reason I feel overwhelmed.
Anonymous looked at Ash, who looked the same as before but had completely changed, and asked with a stutter..
“you… … Who are you?.”
“hmm?”
“You are not Ash. Who the hell are you?”
“That's right Ash?”
One corner of his mouth was slightly twisted up, with a dangerous sneer on his face. With narrowed golden eyes…….
“There's no doubt about it, it's me, 'Bonhater'.”
A worn-out save slot that has been fought through countless regressions.-
‘'Really' Ash said so.
