Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 685
◈ 685. [STAGE 40] Falling Slowly (2)
Crossroads. smithy.
“……is it. Did Damien also go missing during the operation?.”
Lucas, who was checking the equipment, blurted out coldly..
“I guess I'll have to fight without Damian's sniping support. i get it.”
“……That's all I have to say?”
Evangeline asked with a trembling voice..
“Damien is missing. This is our Damien oppa. But, how did you do that?…….”
“There are 30,000 casualties, Evangeline..”
Lucas answered in a low voice and adjusted the armor in front of him..
“Archduke Bringer is missing, and even the Lord is missing, and one more sniper is missing... … There's nothing particularly bad about the situation..”
“mister!”
As Evangeline cried, Lucas let out a soft sigh..
“……More than anything. Not a warrior, but a disappearance.”
“yes?”
“Neither the lord nor the archduke nor Damian have been confirmed dead yet..”
Lucas' stiff voice became softer, albeit blurry..
“Isn’t that Damian? Among us, he is the one who sees the furthest and most accurately. I'm sure I'm looking at my future path clearly..”
“…….”
“So, let us prepare well for the battle ahead..”
In fact, Lucas has already given up all hope..
Damian, Dusk Bringer, Ash... … It was thought that everyone who went missing was already dead. In fact, it was much more likely that way..
Lucas was not the type to believe in false hopes. He was the type of person who faced reality and prepared for what came next..
However, in order to keep the remaining people moving until the end, hope is still needed... … knew.
thud!
After finishing adjusting his armor, Lucas looked back at Evangeline. Seeing his cold expression, Evangeline shuddered her shoulders..
“Evangeline, you remain here on the walls..”
“yes? but!”
“The special lease team has completed its formation and training. You continue to take charge of the defense of your nature..”
Evangeline still had a human face. She ain't ready to put her feet in hell.
On the other hand, Lucas and the special team have been training together for the past few days and are ready to jump into death..
The companions Lucas needed were demons who were willing to die and inflict mortal wounds on the black dragon's body. It wasn't Evangeline..
“…….”
And just in case, the special lease team defeats the Black Dragon..
Someone stayed... … Because I have to continue to take charge of this front and this world..
So Lucas tried to leave Evangeline behind..
Turning his head forward again, Lucas began gathering the rest of his equipment. Evangeline, swallowing her words several times, stretched out her arms towards Lucas' back..
“too.”
Evangeline's fingertips carefully rested on Lucas' back..
“Don't go too far, man…….”
“…….”
“If the uncle disappears, then I…….”
“Evangeline.”
Lucas tried to answer, but swallowed it hard and then.
I took my equipment and left the blacksmith shop..
“Let's get ready. It's a decisive battle soon..”
“…….”
Evangeline slowly lowered her head as she watched Lucas walking away..
In a collapsing world, people's hearts were also collapsing..
‘Seniors…….’
Evangeline closed her eyes tightly as she pictured the commander not returning..
‘please… … . Before it's all over, please come back…….’
I know this is all a vain hope.
Still, if it were him, maybe…….

Crossroads. collapsed warehouse area.
Serenade, who was looking at the items inside the only remaining warehouse with the people at the Winter Silver upper level, turned around when she heard footsteps..
And I was startled when I recognized the person who entered the warehouse..
“your majesty……!”
Those who entered were Emperor Traha and his lieutenants..
Serenade and the people at the top all kneeled on the floor and showed respect..
“Long live the great emperor! Meet the Supreme Lord of the Empire.”
“Set an example. Isn't that the case?.”
Traha waved his hand and looked at the 'stuff' piled up inside the warehouse and stroked his chin..
“I received your report and came to check it out. This thing… … indeed.”
After thinking for a moment, Traha finally nodded and looked towards Serenade..
“In his final battle, Jim wants to take a gamble..”
Serenade's eyes, which had been lowering her head, trembled..
“This is Ash's final strategy, his final gamble..”
“…….”
“Jim wants to bet on this. Can you help me with my luggage??”
Serenade knelt on one knee again on the ground. Everyone at the top took the same action at the same time..
“If it is an order from His Majesty, and if it is the will left behind by His Majesty the Crown Prince, I will follow whatever it is..”
Traha chuckled after looking into Serenade's silver eyes that sparkled with a strong will..
‘Are you going to leave your true daughter-in-law like this and become an immortal guest like this, Ash?……?’
Traha glanced up at the pitch-black sky..
‘Without even giving me the answer to my ordeal?’
But the prodigal son who left still has no answer..
The emperor laughed bitterly, stretched out his hand and gave a command..
“Great, no time! start working right now!”
***
Time passed helplessly, but in this world where only night remained, time no longer had much meaning..
People have forgotten the passage of time. I just look at the darkness of the sky becoming darker and guess that it would normally be midnight..
Approximately three days have passed since the Black Dragon's royalties landed..
Crossroads. on the southern wall.
thud…….
thud…….
thud…….
Something huge slowly approached from across the southern plains, shaking the earth..
On the castle walls lined with torches, the heroes and soldiers swallowed dry saliva as they prepared for the final battle..
thud……!
What was approaching with a roar was not an evil dragon, but rather seemed like an endless wall of darkness reaching up to the sky, slowly pushing in..
The south, covered and obscured by a wall of darkness, was no longer visible..
A tall, thick fog-like curtain moved forward, constricting visibility, and people felt as if the end of the world had materialized and was approaching..
I was out of breath..
“…….”
Lucas and the special heroes who followed him stood quietly at the edge of the castle wall, staring at the approaching destruction of the world..
Lucas closely observed his opponent's condition..
The Night Bringer had swelled and proliferated incomparably compared to when we met in the Lake Kingdom just three days ago, but it also clearly had an unprecedented defect..
‘wound.’
A clear sword mark remained on the chest of the Night Bringer slowly crawling across the floor..
It was a dazzling wound that ran diagonally across the center of the giant black dragon's chest, as if light had penetrated it..
The wounds on the body of the giant monster made of night were emitting a soft light..
Thanks to this light, even in the deep darkness, I was able to detect the presence of an enemy moving in the shape of a dragon..
‘That light is unknown... … ? Is that related to the pillar of light from a few days ago??’
In addition, there were large and small scars engraved all over the Night Bringer's huge body..
These were scars that proved that the process of its advance was anything but smooth and that there was resistance from the humans who attacked to defeat the evil dragon..
However, despite all the resistance, the monster finally reached the Crossroads..
“Sir Lucas. I can't even see the 6 secondary heads on it..”
“…….”
“Is it hidden somewhere? or not…….”
Lucas narrowed his eyes..
According to reports, the Black Dragon's auxiliary heads attacked the observation tower where Damian was..
perhaps… … Did Damien knock down all those heads??
‘You've done enough, Damian..’
Lucas' clenched fist gained strength..
‘Wait, me too, we too... … I'll look like I've done enough.’
Lucas, who was glaring at the advancing figure of the Night Bringer, turned his body back. Behind him, the heroes of the special team were standing in an orderly manner, waiting..
Vengeful spirits who honed their hatred to kill the black dragon..
Lucas did not say a single word towards the special rental heroes. Because language no longer has meaning to them..
Instead, he looked back at the defense team on the castle wall and nodded..
“Well then, everyone. good luck.”
The king, hero, and soldiers of the defense group nodded with pale faces..
The operation is simple.
While the defense team on the castle wall attracts the attention of the black dragon, the special team approaches the Night Bringer and finishes him off..
thud… … ! thud… … ! thud……!
The Night Bringer finally reached the end of the southern field..
The black dragon smiled with its huge mouth raised in the darkness, its golden gaze flashed and it gathered an evil gaze..
It seemed like they were preparing the strongest attack aircraft, ‘Forged Chestnut’..
Even though there was no auxiliary head, there didn't seem to be any problem with the guy who had already absorbed as much chestnuts as he could..
That wasn't all.
All kinds of magic were loaded with geometric patterns on the left and right sides of the black dragon's head, and feathers were ready to shoot from its huge, wide-open wings..
“ready to defend-!”
Accordingly, the defense line was also prepared for defense..
The wizards, led by Junior, prepared defensive magic, and the artifacts that had been urgently repaired shined in their own way..
And the Skyrian, who must block the 'Forged Night' and Breath, also stood on the castle wall and finished preparations..
Next to him is [Shining Dark], a defensive artifact made from Aipian's magic core, and... … There was Violet, sitting on Parekhian with a nervous expression..
Skarian looked towards the special rental unit and smiled..
《What a great operation..》
The most problematic thing when dealing with a black dragon.
That was, before even approaching the black dragon, it was stopped by its powerful interception means..
Most of the knights and cavalry that had left to kill the black dragon were intercepted and killed before they even reached the black dragon's body..
This was the biggest problem even for the special team trying to kill the black dragon..
You need to approach while reducing damage as much as possible, but no matter what method you use, there is a high possibility that you will be wiped out before reaching the guy..
But Lily found a way.
“Is everyone ready??”
In front of the special rental booth lined up in an orderly manner.
Lily asked carefully and adjusted the artifact in front of her..
Artifact, [again from scratch]!].
When this large golden metal plate illuminates an opponent within the shooting frame, it can forcibly teleport the opponent whose entire body is captured..
The point where the monster first appears when viewed from the main crossroads. To borrow Ash's expression, it is the starting point of the wave. Right at the end of the field spreading south of Crossroads Castle..
It may vary depending on the use, but it is basically a means of buying time by pushing monsters that have crossed the field and approached the castle wall back to the edge of the field..
Lily changed her mind here..
If this artifact is not an enemy... … If you take a photo of an ally?
Isn't it possible to teleport all allies pictured in the frame to the edge of the southern field??
Alchemists studied the artifact to verify the theory, and the operation was established..
At that time, the black dragon that had come north reached the end of the field south of the Crossroad. The very moment its gaze is focused on the walls of the Crossroads and it launches an attack..
Assassins holding awls that can kill a guy teleport over his head..
We approach the Night Bringer closely without giving him time to intercept, and pour out all the evil weapons we have.…….
kill.
These are tiny creatures that explode to death at the slightest gesture from this guy, but they can at least dig out the guy's wounds with the tip of the forged awl..
Kill before you die - the only simple strategy.
Gooooooo-!
Night Bringer has completed its attack stance. In a few seconds, the top of this castle wall will become a sea of fire..
Lily, who was calmly looking at the black dragon and measuring the timing, muttered softly..
“Somehow, taking pictures like this makes me feel like I'm drawing a commemorative portrait before going out on a mission..”
“…….”
“Okay then. Old friends. please… … Come back to check if your face came out well..”
After looking at the comrades leaving for the dead. Lily managed to smile through her quivering mouth..
“Three, two, one - smile!”
Quaaaaaaa!
The 'forged night' poured out by the black dragon, and all kinds of magic and feather bombardments rushed towards the castle walls at once.,
click-!
At the same time, the artifact [Again from the beginning!] was activated..
The special heroes disappeared from the castle wall like a lie, and the next moment they were precisely teleported into the air above the black dragon's body..
《……?!》
The Night Bringer, who was attacking the Crossroads walls, was taken aback by this unexpected situation. She also raised the corners of her mouth as if she was amused at the same time.
nettle liquid-!
As they descended from the blizzard-filled air towards the evil dragon on the ground, none of the heroes belonging to the special team were smiling..
With eyes dry of bloody tears and black, dead faces, they only grab their weapons and rush down to kill their enemies..
Both the Nightmare Slayer and the Dragon Slayer holders fell, their entire bodies stained in pitch-black darkness, and their hatred and resentment polished off to the fullest..
At the forefront, Lucas.
“Haaaaa……!”
He already looked like a beast.
Underneath the tangled blonde hair blown by the gust of wind, two bright blue eyes flashed like a wild beast in the middle of the night..
Lucas held out the [Granted Sword] in his right hand and the [Excarnival] in his left hand..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……!
[[The bestowed sword] trembled uneasily, forming a blade of light.,
Quaaaaa-!
[[Excarnival] roared and blasted pitch-black magic in all directions..
The bandages wrapped around the burns were torn apart, revealing a left arm with black magic oozing out like veins underneath..
“Ahhhhh-!”
At the same time, the ultimate skill [Full Body Advent] is activated..
A dazzling aura emanated from Lucas' entire body..
The usual golden aura, the black aura of the magic sword, and the bright blue aura unique to the beast flower were all mixed together..
Such a turbid aura coalesced into a round halo behind Lucas' back.,
Going to school-!
The next moment, Lucas was shot down faster than anyone else..
The knight who gave up being human to kill the monster screamed..
“I'll kill you!”
Looking at the shooting star-like avengers pouring towards him, the Night Bringer's huge mouth smiled as if it were splitting open..
And then the decisive battle began.
