Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 678
◈ 678. [STAGE 40] Gigantomachia
Just now.
Lake Kingdom Area 1, ‘Dry Drainage Channel’’.
“It's not normal to crawl all the way out here.…….”
Ash grumbled as he got off the small boat..
At the time of the great flood, black rain poured down on the Lake Kingdom, and the underground drain pipes were filled with black water..
Ash, riding this drain pipe and boarding a boat driven by Sword Demon and Chang Demon, reached the safety point of Area 1..
This is because the teleport gate closest to the bottom village was installed here..
When Ash activated the teleportation gate without saying anything more, the nameless person who followed urgently stopped him..
“ash! where are you now-”
“Go to the black dragon.”
Ash seemed to have made up his mind from the beginning and declared without hesitation..
“Now is the only chance to kill him. I don't have time to ask for cooperation from others, and I don't have the energy to cooperate. go alone.”
“How on earth could that mighty black dragon live alone?…….”
“Even though I'm a weak guy with no fighting skills at all. As the years go by, you get the hang of it. There is a way.”
If there is any more delay, if the black dragon heads north even a little longer,.
This chance cannot be used. So, although Ash may seem reckless, he was planning to fight the black dragon alone..
Nameless hurriedly followed..
“Well then, Ash! me too…….”
“you can't.”
Ash coldly refused and looked at the unknown with his golden eyes..
“Don't fight anymore, princess. It's already the limit.”
“…….”
In the last battle, Nameless consumed a lot of 'light'..
Chains of shadows were already connected to her entire body, connecting her to the darkness beneath the Lake Kingdom..
“It's held up well so far.”
Ash spoke in a bleak voice, but with a faint affection..
“In fact, you would normally be exhausted by now from lack of sleep, but seeing you look so happy... … What can I say, nice to meet you. You worked hard..”
“ash…….”
“When you and I can have a full conversation like this... … It didn't happen that often..”
Ash, standing in front of the fully open teleportation gate, slightly raised the corners of his mouth..
“Don't lose that shine, princess..”
“ash!”
Nameless said in a trembling voice to Ash, who had already turned his back..
“What I said before, you may have forgotten now... … No matter what you change, we…….”
“friend.”
Ash whispered softly. Unnamed’s eyes widened..
“No matter what we look like, we are friends.”
After saying the same promise we made in a long-ago episode,.
“See you again. The princess, and… … Prince.”
Ash waved his hand and disappeared into the teleportation gate..
“Especially you, prince, keep doing what you are doing.-”
flashing-!
The teleportation gate emits magic light, and then it quiets down..
“Pfft……!”
Nameless collapsed in front of the teleportation gate, looked around at the chains wrapped around his body, then gritted his teeth and hit the ground with his fist..
“…….”
Crown, who had followed along, could only watch quietly as he watched this unknown figure..
Crown, who was called 'prince' by Ash, thought carefully about Ash's last words..
‘Because it was something I used to do.…….’
He looked down and looked at the flute in his hand..
‘……Is this really working??’
Kugugugugung Palace!
Once again, the entire Lake Kingdom shook violently..
Crown sighed, grabbed his flute tightly, and headed towards the teleportation gate..
Although he was an unpleasant child, Ash was doing what he had to do..
Then the Crown had to do its job too..
***
today.
《It's the same as the previous player, but is it a different entity??》
Looking down at Ash, who was standing in front of him, the Night Bringer let out an interesting voice..
《Is that why it survived even when the spiritual core was broken? There are so many different shadows within one being... … It's fascinating.》
Then Ash sneered cynically..
“Is that so? I am more amazed by you. How come they always act the same way?.”
《Because your beliefs are firm, your thoughts and actions are consistent..》
Night Bringer, who took the light bite, easily noticed what was flowing inside Ash's body..
《so… … It looks like he stole my blood and heart and became a 'dragon'. Did he set out to fight me just because he gained that much power??》
“Aren’t you mad at me for stealing your blood??”
《Is there any need to care about every drop of blood or scale I scatter? The dragons who claim to be my children are no different from you to me..》
The Night Bringer laughed softly..
《Still, my blood must be pretty thick... … I endured it well and became a ‘dragon’..》
“Compared to the poison I drank over the years, your blood was like plain water..”
Ash wiped his eyes as if he was tired, then looked straight at the Night Bringer and spat out..
“I'm just saying that because I'm a bit busy, so let's not chat for a long time, just keep the business brief. Let's kill each other.”
《Hmm, I have a lot of time left.…….》
The Night Bringer sighed leisurely and winked at the breath forming on his chin..
《Can I shoot this first??》
Ash glanced at the breath, then reluctantly gestured north..
“As you wish.”
《then.》
next moment.
Quaaaaaaa-!
Terrible heat and enormous energy converged at the tip of the monster's mouth, distorting the surrounding space, and the Night Bringer fired its breath, which had reached critical mass, towards the north..
Fifth breath after royalties landed.
A strong gust of wind blew up and tousled Ash's hair. Calmly facing the gust of wind, Ash watched without bothering to block the breath..
It took too much force to block or redirect that breath..
I don't know if the Night Bringer would have shot at him, but since he didn't, it made sense to just let go..
‘Breath just hopes that Crossroads will stop it on its own..’
What Ash is aiming for now is the Night Bringer right after the breath is fired..
In essence, breath is an attack method that consumes the dragon's being and soul. Even if you are a black dragon that has assimilated into the night of the world, you cannot prevent some level of exhaustion..
In order to radiate strength and attack Night Bringer at the moment when he is at his weakest..
Ash arrived here via the teleportation gate just in time for the breath to be fired..
Gooooo……!
The breath emission that seemed to last forever has come to an end..
The Night Bringer slowly turned his head, emitting enormous heat and steam..
《thank you for waiting.》
“It was nothing.”
《I'm excited because this is the first time someone who lost to me comes to me seeking revenge..》
It was only natural that, except for the Red Dragon, all those who opposed him died in the first battle..
Night Bringer, with his head erect, made a puzzled voice..
《By the way, how on earth are you going to defeat me when you come from me??》
“Anyway, if all I did was become a dragon with your blood, would I risk my life and death on you??”
Ash smiled and put his hands on his waist..
The equipment currently strapped to his waist is a ceremonial longsword that can be converted into a flagpole..
And - there was a long thorn stick, which had not been there before..
《that……?》
A look passed through the Night Bringer's eyes. Ash bit her lower lip and smiled, then she pulled out her wand..
In fact, Ash didn't come here straight from a dried up ditch. In the meantime, he stopped by a dungeon in District 8..
Secret warehouse of the dungeon ‘Magic Tower’.
The magic tower had already collapsed, but the warehouse hidden underground nearby was safe. And now that Byakuya is dead, Ash is the only human who knows about the existence of this warehouse..
Inside the warehouse, some of the equipment stored in the magic tower remained - among them was one guardian tree for each of the four major races..
Ash was put together on the spot in the warehouse..
4An artificial guardian tree created by combining guardian trees of different races, a human guardian tree-
‘‘Ever Black’!
“Everblack. Activation.”
Ash activated Everblack and closed his eyes..
Everblack's basic function is the 'magic lighthouse'. Provides future information to users.
With a small wand like this, you can only know what's happening a few minutes in the future, let alone the distant future... … That's enough..
The fragmented information found by the magic lighthouse poured into Ash's mind. Everblack showered Ash with images of a chaotic future in which the order was randomly mixed up..
And Ash had already mastered the use of this lighthouse..
The fragmented pieces of information were organized one by one, creating a map in his head..
After gathering all the information, Ash opened his eyes with golden eyes flashing..
It seemed.
‘'the future'.
“I'm not as skilled in swords or magic as my older brother or my gangster second brother, I don't have as big an ambition as my father, and I'm a nerd with no talent whatsoever.…….”
Ash took a deep breath while mocking himself..
“However, if you accumulate this much experience, it becomes useful..”
No need for sense.
No need for talent.
All you need is extremely skilled experience, endlessly accumulated data, and an indomitable will..
Even if all he holds in his hand is a single twig, humans can fight against the evil dragon..
《Then, let’s take a look. Its usefulness-!》
The six heads floating around the center head of the Night Bringer all flew towards Ash..
Each of the six heads flashed fierce eyes and each loaded up their breath, magic, dragon lore, etc..
But Ash didn't blink even once, and calmly held his staff forward and then-
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
He emitted magic power from the tip of the staff, shot it into the air, and then slammed it to the floor..
OK,
thud! Coogung! Kugwagwang……!
All six heads flying towards Ash lost the light in their eyes and fell with the same momentum as they had been flying..
All six heads stuck out their tongues and rolled on the floor around Ash. Shock flashed across the Night Bringer's face..
《What……?》
“Your blood flows through my body now, evil dragon. My magic pattern is also the same as yours.”
These six secondary heads are all dead.
The Night Bringer only moves under the control of its own magic power..
“It is not difficult to interfere and cause confusion.……!”
Ash made it sound like it was an easy task, but the Night Bringer knew. It wasn't something he could do simply because the horsepower patterns matched..
It was impossible unless he mastered his own dragon species' magic system..
《Is that possible?…….》
Taat!
Ash was already running towards the Night Bringer..
creepy-
There is no way goosebumps would appear on a dragon's body, but in the face of this small human's advance, the Night Bringer felt a similar sensation..
Night Bringer spread its huge wings and launched a barrage of feathers..
Patter-patter!
Thousands and tens of thousands of feathers swept across the ground with the sound of pouring rain..
And Ash,
《……?!》
Literally just a piece of paper apart..
I moved forward, dodging all the bombardment of those feathers..
I didn't deploy a magic barrier or at least cover my head with my hands. She calmly ran through the rain of bombings as if she knew she wouldn't get hurt..
As if the entire future could be seen in detail.……!
《……Hehehe. Hahahaha-!》
With a satisfied smile from deep within his soul, the Night Bringer prepared his magic this time..
《It's pretty, really.-!》
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
Dozens or hundreds of magic circles appeared on the left and right sides of the Night Bringer's head..
All of the ancient magics were fired one after another, aiming at Ash..
But Ash still didn't stop running, and stared at the flying magic with his eyes wide open..
Inside Ash's golden eye, magic circles with complex diagrams emerged one after another.,
Return to school! Return to school! Going to school-!
He dispelled all the magic that flew right in front of him right before it reached his body..
The magic shattered in the air and scattered in all directions, leaving only magic light like finely broken stardust..
Watching Ash moving forward while being hit by fragmented magic particles, the Night Bringer was so dumbfounded that he opened his mouth small..
《How on earth?》
“Dismantling magic is just a matter of memorizing the formula... … Even that vampire bastard can do it, I can’t do it??”
Before we knew it, Ash was close to the Night Bringer..
Ash lowered his posture and gathered strength in his legs. A halo of black magic gathered at Ash's feet, and in the next moment, Ash soared into the air..
In an instant, the tall black dragon's head and the soaring Ash's eyes were at the same level..
“This is what I wanted to say from the beginning.…….”
Ash smiled faintly and stretched out his hand. Then, following the movement, intangible black magical power coalesced and took the form of a giant dragon's paw..
The Night Bringer tried to avoid it, but he had absorbed the night and was now too big..
Quack!
The paw of the giant dragon summoned by Ash grabbed the base of the Night Bringer's neck like a collar, and just like that,-
《……?!》
I put it down.
Kuwagwanggwang……!
The head of a huge black dragon fell to the ground, spewing out thick dust in all directions..
Night Bringer, who was shocked and unable to come to his senses after experiencing this for the first time, heard a voice right in front of him..
“Shut your eyes, you rude bastard..”
For the first time, he looked down at the Night Bringer, who was lower than him. Putting one of her feet on top of her head.
Squinting his golden eyes that glowed even in the dark, Ash bared his teeth and grinned maniacally..
“Because I too have suffered a lot from age..”
