Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 679
◈ 679. [STAGE 40] Gigantomachia (2)
Crossroads. on the castle wall.
“Haha, haha…….”
Dusk Bringer let out a hot breath..
I had barely managed to block the fifth breath of the Night Bringer that had poured in just a moment ago..
Night Bringer's breath was extremely strong, but Dusk Bringer was able to withstand it with the help of all the remaining magic support artifacts and recovery support artifacts in Crossroads..
Crackling, crackling…….
All the artifacts were ruined, but.
“…….”
Dusk Bringer, who was looking in that direction with a tired gaze, staggered and headed down the castle wall..
As she came down the castle wall, smoke billowing from her tiny body, the soldiers saluted her in unison..
Dusk Bringer smiled bitterly, bowed, and then walked unsteadily..
“Thank you for your hard work, Grand Duke..”
Evangeline, who was waiting under the castle wall, spoke in a worried voice..
After negotiations with the kings, Lucas became the captain of the special mission, and the position of acting commander was passed to Evangeline..
Evangeline was given overall command of the troops on the entire front..
It was Evangeline who ordered the installation of magical power and body recovery auxiliary artifacts instead of the existing defense artifacts..
The instructions were indeed accurate, and Dusk Bringer was able to endure somehow..
She wasn't sure if she would be able to endure it next time, either.…….
Dusk Bringer just nodded his head silently, and Evangeline was about to say something, but held back and just silently bowed..
Dusk Bringer walked to the other side. Evangeline, looking that way, turned her head to the side..
“And to everyone in the reconnaissance team, thank you for doing your best in your duties..”
There were scout soldiers standing there who reported the news of the black dragon's breath..
If the scouting team hadn't given us the exact timing, the defense could have been more difficult..
So Evangeline was truly grateful to them..
Under the command of the acting commander, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team all bowed their heads. Evangeline continued..
“However, the reconnaissance team will no longer be in operation. From now on, the remote observation team will be in charge of scouting the black dragon, so you should rest and wait..”
“yes? But, Miss Evangeline… … No, acting commander..”
The scout leader carefully presented his opinion..
“Because the darkness was so thick that the long-distance observation team couldn't see properly, didn't we take the risk and deploy as a close-range reconnaissance team? Even if a remote observation team were deployed again, what would happen?…….”
“Don't worry about that. Damien... … The sniper team leader decided to join the observation team..”
Everyone opened their mouths in agreement at those words..
Has clairvoyance. damian.
If the best sniper on the front line observes with the best eyes in mankind, he will definitely be able to see through even the darkness..
“The sniper team at the nearest observation tower will scout out the Black Dragon's movements. So don't worry about scouting missions, you have been exposed to the evil dragon's evil energy for a long time... … let it rest.”
After saying that, Evangeline, who was trying to look formal, smiled awkwardly..
“I'm glad everyone came back safely. It was a very dangerous mission, so I was very worried..”
“In fact, we almost got wiped out.…….”
The scouts of the scout team looked at each other..
“Someone made us... … I saved you.”
“yes? someone……?”
“yes. Because I couldn't open my eyes due to the black dragon's evil energy, I couldn't see exactly who it was.…….”
The scouts nodded..
“It was a very familiar voice... … Strange as if I was hearing it for the first time… … It was a strange experience.”
“Didn't you say who you were??”
“yes that is…….”
The last veteran skirmisher to retreat relayed the man's words..
“Our very old colleague…….”
“very old colleague……?”
Evangeline tilted her head..
“where is that person now?”
“It seems to have remained there. I think I was walking alone to the black dragon.…….”
“Go to the black dragon alone……?”
Evangeline muttered shakily..
“Who and why?……?”
It was then.
Tadat-!
Dusk Bringer, who had been listening to the conversation while stopping in the hallway on the other side, quickly kicked the ground and started running..
“grandee?!”
Evangeline, feeling an ominous premonition, ran after him in a huff..
Dusk Bringer ran with incredible agility despite his injured body, arrived in front of the teleportation gate, and opened the magic door..
Wow!-!
Black malice poured in from the other side of the completed magic passage..
Evangeline immediately noticed where Dusk Bringer was heading. Dusk Bringer was trying to go to the spot the scouts had mentioned..
“Stop, Archduke! That teleport gate is already being corroded by the Night Bringer's evil energy.!”
“…….”
“There is a black dragon on the other side of the gate! Even the gate will soon be broken! If you go there now, you can't come back.-”
However, Dusk Bringer did not hesitate.
flashing-!
I threw myself into the teleportation gate..
Evangeline screamed and tried to grab Dusk Bringer, but at the same time, light exploded and Dusk Bringer disappeared beyond the teleportation gate.…….
bang-!
Dense darkness spewed out from the other side of the gate, and immediately the passage was forcibly closed..
Evangeline just blinked blankly as she stretched out her hand towards the collapsed magic door..
***
bang! thud! Kugugoogung Palace……!
In the forest, the duel between two dragons continued..
Ash used incredibly precise movements to avoid and destroy all of Night Bringer's attacks, not allowing a single hit..
And, using all the means at his disposal, he attacked the Night Bringer..
As Ash approached, he swung his fist, and a huge dragon's fist made of magical power appeared in the air and struck down the Night Bringer's chin. As he turned his body backwards and spun, a huge magical tail appeared and whipped over the Night Bringer's body. I hit it like.
When Night Bringer tried to counterattack by moving his large body, Ash created dragon wings made of magical power on his back and easily left the area.,
“Whoa whoa…….”
After gathering my breath,
Going to school-!
I let out a breath.
A sphere of magic coalesced right in front of the mouth, and from there, a jet of black light shot out like a laser, emitting a sharp sound..
However, Ash's expression was not satisfied even though he continued to attack without stopping..
“It's really very sturdy.…….”
It seemed like a one-sided beating, but the problem was Night Bringer's overwhelming stamina and regenerative power..
Night Bringer took almost no damage from all attacks, and even if it did, it regenerated almost instantly..
Ash clicked his tongue as he watched the breath he fired bounce off the Night Bringer's scales and scatter around, and the scorched scales recovered to look like new after a while..
Currently, Ash has become a 'dragon' by stealing the black dragon's blood, but his level of existence has increased and his magical output has increased several or dozens of times..
In the first place, he was so weak that he could not even be compared to the original owner of that blood, the Night Bringer..
‘If only I had a little more talent…….’
If the first brother, Larc, had become a dragon, he would have used his legendary martial arts skills to fight against the evil dragon with his sword. If the second brother, Fernandez, had had become a dragon, he would have fought the evil dragon with all kinds of mysterious magic and tricks..
Ash didn't have much of a choice. In essence, he had poor talent and ability as a combatant..
But - experience.
The overwhelming depth of karma that only those who have gone through countless regressions and fought without giving up have.).
Only this was Ash's weapon that no one else had..
‘I didn't even expect to be able to take it down with a normal attack..’
Biting his lower lip, Ash smiled..
What is the means by which one can kill the remaining evil dragon?.
There was no need to worry. What Ash had been preparing from the beginning was one thing..
A means to kill fairly even if you don't have any sword or magic skills, no matter how big your opponent is or how small you are..
Attack method for the weak, optimized for giant-killing……!
‘Poison)!’
Ash was a returner who had been through countless episodes. And there was a similar episode before as well..
Even then, Ash had become a dragon, Lark and Fernandez were not by his side, and there was a black dragon in front of him..
At this time, Ash improvised and planted the 'essence' of proliferation and self-destruction in his own blood and then administered it to the black dragon's body..
Since Ash and the black dragon's blood were completely identical in composition, the black dragon's heart accepted the blood without question... … In the black dragon's vigorous vitality, its blood 'proliferated' infinitely and at the same time reached 'self-destruction'..
In that episode, the black dragon was able to be defeated by administering this conceptual poison. Ash was planning to use the same method this time too..
‘So I brought that ‘essence’ in advance..’
In Ash's hand was Everblack - the human guardian beast in the form of a staff..
Human instinct is proliferation and self-destruction..
A contradictory race that wants to spread its species, but at the same time wants to kill that same species..
From this branch, which had already completed its role as a magic lighthouse, Ash extracted only the essence of the human race and mixed it with the blood droplets on his fingertips..
It was a conceptual magic event so difficult and ridiculous that even the wizards of Crossroads would have frowned upon seeing it. But Ash did it as skillfully as breathing..
‘What I'm bad at is large-scale magic, but I'm good at small, detailed things.……!’
The poison loading has ended. Ash had his signature dangerous smile on his face..
‘He still bleeds. If so, this poison also works.’
When the black dragon transcends the physical body and becomes completely assimilated with the night, it enters a state of myth. Instead of blood, darkness will flow through his body..
Then poisoning through blood will not work..
So, I tried to deal with the black dragon before it went north and finished its assimilation with Bam, and fortunately, the poison was still barely able to pass through..
‘When blood still flows in his body. inject poison……!’
flutter-!
Ash spread his magical dragon wings on his back and soared into the sky..
Towards Ash, who stopped in the high sky for an instant,
《Huhuhuhu, hahahaha-! good night. Struggling a little more, a little more.-!》
Night Bringer unleashed all kinds of attack methods while pouring out a beacon of light..
Feathers, magic, sound waves, magic, and materialized darkness were intricately tangled like a spider's web and filled the sky..
Without hesitation, Ash plunged into the web-like net..
Going to school-!
Falling from the sky, Ash unleashed black flames from his fingertips, toes, elbows, and shoulders - all areas that could emit black flames, like the flames of an airborne thruster..
With the recoil of the flame, it slightly twists and adjusts its body's trajectory, swimming through the air and falling smoothly. He narrowly avoided all attacks from the Night Bringer..
Ash performed acrobatics and fell right on top of the Night Bringer's head..
Ash frowned slyly at the Night Bringer, who had a look of genuine admiration on his face..
“I was a dancer well-known in the imperial society..”
And Ash took the stance of drawing his bow towards the Night Bringer's face..
Black magical energy gathered in the air and took the form of a bow, string, and arrow. The arrowhead area was loaded with blood drops and concept poison that had been extracted a while ago..
What you are aiming for is the eyes.
Not only is it much weaker in defense than other parts, but it is also closer to the brain..
In the previous episode where poison was used, the poison administered through the eye caused the person's death..
The aim was perfect, and the poison was powerful. Ash was sure.
This is - got it!
“……?!”
But the next moment.
My vision turned completely white, and I felt dizzy..
For a moment, Ash's vision became dizzy and he was unable to breathe properly. The aim was disturbed and the arrowhead lost its direction..
‘uh?’
It wasn't until the next moment that Ash realized..
Before I knew it, nosebleeds were flowing..
‘What, why is this happening all of a sudden?-’
After a moment of confusion, Ash suddenly came to his senses and turned the tip of his arrow again to aim at the Night Bringer's eyes..
《That won't work.》
The Black Dragon was an opponent that should not be given a chance even for a moment..
《You turn a blind eye in front of me.》
flashing-!
Newly loaded ancient magic was shot like cannonballs from the left and right sides of the black dragon's head..
Ash tried to dispel the magic with his eyes as he had done before, but,
“……uh?”
My mind was blank..
I had to construct an inverse arithmetic formula according to the magic my opponent was casting, but nothing came to mind..
at last.
Pubububung! Bubbling bubbling!
I was unable to dispel the ancient magic that came at me and was beaten to death..
“Ugh……?!”
The bow and arrow loaded with poison broke, and Ash, covered in blood, fell to the ground..
Kugu Palace……!
“Haha, haha, coughing!”
Ash, who had fallen right in front of the Night Bringer, urgently tried to get up. But the sense of balance was also good..
The world was spinning. I started vomiting, and memories began to mix and blink before my eyes..
Ash thought for a moment while holding his forehead where blood was seeping out..
what was i doing here?
A helpless smile appeared on the lips of Ash, who was resting on the floor with trembling arms and spitting out blood roughly from his burnt body after being beaten by magic..
“shit… … Is that so?…….”
Ash realized he had misjudged..
He figured he would have at least one day. It was the minimum value determined based on long experience..
Since it had been 12 hours since I woke up, I assumed there would still be at least 12 more hours of respite..
but it wasn't.
only 12 hours-
It was worn out, and the limit of time a soul could endure once broken and put back together was that long, and it had already been exceeded..
Trying to hold on to the ego that is falling through my fingers, collapsing like a sand castle... … Ash gritted his teeth and glared straight ahead..
《Why are you doing this, player??》
The Night Bringer lowered its long neck and whispered in a vaguely benevolent tone..
《If this is the end of the encore, I'm a little disappointed..》
