Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 702
◈ 702. [STAGE 40] C’est La Vie (2)
“……bone hater.”
When I called, the real Ash smiled and called to me..
“Dunbringer.”
“…….”
After briefly getting goosebumps and rubbing my forearms, I mumbled carefully:.
“No, something… … It feels a bit strange to call each other by titles like this..”
It's like the feeling when people you know online meet for the first time offline and call each other by their online nicknames.…….
- excuse me. That one is ‘Black Prince King Wangjjang’’?
- Ah, then that person is ‘My Wife Sena-chan’.?
Isn’t this exactly what it feels like? Wow!
“What do you think? Is there a better way to distinguish us than our middle names??”
But the real Ash didn't seem to care at all. Is the perception of Natural Born Fantasy Man a bit different?…….
I blushed and called his middle name again..
“Yes, Bonhater… … You had a lot of trouble.”
“You too, Dunbringer.”
Bonehater grinned with a face like broken porcelain..
“You've done well so far, so you'll do well in the future fights as well. There is only one thing I want to ask you..”
And, Bonheter said:.
“make me happy.”
After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously asked.
“It's a serenade story?”
“Of course I have to make Serena happy. There's no need to say that.”
I clenched my chin and made a noise..
“Then, other people?”
“That is something you must naturally do as a king, and what I would like to ask you to do is…….”
Bonhater stretched out his hand and pressed his fingertips on my chest..
“yourself.”
“…….”
Bonhater slightly bit his lip and smiled at me, who was dazed as if he had been hit in the back of the head..
“There will be many difficult times ahead. I hope you find peace in the end.”
“…….”
“All the hatred, all the sadness, all the wounds that I was born with will disappear without me holding them, so please…….”
Sincerely, Blessings.
he said this.
“be happy, me.”
Then Bonheter turned around and walked to the edge of the collapsing white space..
I asked urgently.
“Where are you going, Bonehater??”
“It's time to disappear.”
His voice was calm as he walked..
“As you inherit the entire legacy from Dusk Bringer, you are no longer just a secondary personality... … I became a complete soul with a spiritual body..”
‘Bonhater shrugged his shoulders, saying, “I never thought the phone that fell all the way to the bottom of the basement would actually come back as a queen.”.
“It's all in pieces, but it's in much better shape than I was..”
“…….”
“So, touch the baton. I passed the flag to you, it's time for me to disappear.”
His whole body began to break apart and scatter..
“don't worry. Because I left everything you need with you... … Memories of the strategy and battle experience will all remain within you. It will still be possible to summon an alter ego or build a castle wall..”
“…….”
“Thanks to you, I can finally rest with peace of mind. Haha, really…….”
His voice, which turned into white powder and dispersed, was reassuring, and just a little... … I was sad.
“It was a long and tiring fight.”
“…….”
“then. hi. Now I… … I'm going to get some sleep.”
As I looked blankly at his back as he walked away, I…….
“……bone hater!”
I rushed over and grabbed him by the shoulder..
Just holding on to it caused white ash to fly out and turn my body white. But I didn't care at all and said to the person who was looking at me curiously,.
“Come with me!”
“……what?”
“Until the end... … Come with me.”
I nodded seriously..
“Toward the true ending, no, even the life afterward... … together.”
“…….”
Bonheter, who stuttered for a moment as if speechless, let out a laugh..
“Hey, Dunbringer. My past is uglier than you think.”
“…….”
“In this episode alone, he suffered from regressive dementia, caused people who didn't need to die to die, and committed all sorts of cruel acts..”
Bonheter clenched his trembling hands tightly..
“It's not just this episode. In the name of saving the world, I have spent countless hours... … Pushed countless people into the pit of hell.”
“…….”
“You, who will open a new era, are a shabby yoke that does not suit Dunbringer. A bone hater means that dying a bone hater is for all of us..”
“It's okay though.”
I said with confidence.
“It's okay, let's go together.”
“……Are you even willing to accept me like this??”
Bonheter's voice trembled..
“Are you saying you want to become me like this??”
“So did I..”
I remembered the guilt that lingered at my roots..
742In all those games, I always threw my characters to death..
In order to clear the entire game efficiently, he threw countless subordinates to death without any remorse. There was no question about the action.
i was a monster.
He was a monster who was crazy about efficiency, knew nothing but strategies, and did not regard people as human beings..
“Your sins are my sins too.”
I grinned as I faced Bonhater's puzzled face..
“My sins are also your sins. we are like.”
“…….”
“I will not arbitrarily forgive you for the ugly things you have done. but…….”
I slowly opened my arms.
“We will regret together and suffer together. And we will think together about how to correct that mistake..”
“…….”
“therefore… … Let's go together, Bonehater..”
There is no such thing as a beautiful life.
Everyone has an ugly side. I don't want to ignore it and pretend I don't know..
I admit my ugliness, and then… … I want to move forward.
So, let's go together.
my bone hater.
“…….”
From his face that was heavily cracked, to his cheeks that were broken like empty porcelain... … White ash flowed down.
“Really…….”
Then, with that broken face, he smiled so dazzlingly and brightly,,
He came to me with his arms wide open..
“There's no need to say anything later?”
I grinned..
“It sounds obvious.”
we hugged.
Bonehater's entire body shattered like a sand castle, and the white ash poured down on my body. Eventually, all of those white particles began to shine dazzlingly and were absorbed into my soul..
Finally, Bonheter's voice rang out faintly..
“Okay, let's go. To the end of this road. together…….”
Once I closed my eyes and opened them, he was no longer there..
but i could tell.
Real and fake, Bonehater and Dunbringer…….
That we have finally become one.
Feeling a little shy for some reason, I looked down at my body awkwardly and muttered:.
“……I have become a literal Ash Kim..”
And the next moment, I left the mental world and returned to the real world..
I realized that I was standing over the corpse of a black dragon, and that I still held the Banner of Light in my hands..
Even though the warm sunlight is falling on my head.
The darkness has finally cleared, and the world has regained its color, emitting tens of thousands of colors like a prism..
“…….”
Although the world is horribly destroyed, this place is more dazzlingly beautiful than any landscape I have ever seen..
“majesty-!”
People were running towards me.
Heroes poured out of La Mancha, which had made a hasty emergency landing on the other side of the field, and people were running from the collapsed walls of the Crossroads to the end of the field..
Everyone was crying. He was running towards me with his arms outstretched, as if he was going to embrace me, even though he was crying and crying..
The snow that was falling from the sky stopped and melted in the air as the sunlight hit... … Scattered in the air and sprinkled dazzling light..
I laughed under that ray of light.
It was a more crushing defeat than ever, but it was a more daunting victory than ever before..

Violet slowly opened her twitching eyes..
“……what?”
Field south of Crossroads.
Violet, who was lying cross-legged on the dirt floor, slowly wiggled her fingers and toes..
It was fine..
“what? Wow?”
Violet urgently raised her hand and touched her body. As expected, he was fine without any injuries..
“Oh my... … ? What is this?.”
Violet, who was embarrassed, realized that bright sunlight was shining on her face. Surprised, Violet bounced her upper body like a spring and sat down..
The sky was clear. the world was bright.
morning is back.
The Night Bringer has fallen. The World Defense Front has once again protected the world..
“Ha ha ha ha ha…….”
Violet laughed with a mixture of joy and embarrassment in a foolish voice..
So, how are you alive??
Not only was it thrown into the air, but a dragon lore like the Night Bringer's blade attacked right in front of us..
How can I survive like this?……?
“uh?”
The answer was right next to me.
Violet found the dragon lying down next to her and shouted urgently..
“parekian?!”
The black dragon's claws, Parekhian, was torn to pieces and dying..
Only then did Violet realize why she was safe. I remembered his last moments before losing consciousness..
As he fell from the air, Parekhian tackled him and caught him with the dragon lore, before falling to the ground..
As a result, Violet was safe... … Parekhian suffered an injury he could not handle..
“why… … For someone like me…….”
Violet knew. If her parekian had abandoned her, she would have been safe..
Parekhian's mission is to bring Violet to the Night Bringer's head. If he had taken advantage of his speed at that point, he could have escaped safely..
But Parekhian threw himself into the fight to save Violet. And now he was dying like this.
《……Are you safe, Violet?.》
At that time, an inorganic voice came out unclearly from Parekhian's broken chest..
《It is no longer possible to detect magic power... … I can't monitor your condition. Are you hurt??》
“I'm fine, you stupid lizard.!”
Violet kneeled next to the broken Parekhian and shed tears..
“why… … Did you save me? If you hadn't saved me, you would have lived…….”
《……you showed me.》
Parekhian's answer was bizarre..
《That night, you... … showed me the stars.》
“what……?”
《It wasn't just the stars. You showed me this world... … . So, it's worth risking your life for you.》
Violet shook her head as if she was dumbfounded..
“Everything I showed you was an illusion, you fool!”
《…….》
“It was a lie, just a plausible imitation of reality.…….”
《Does not matter.》
Is it an illusion??
Violet felt as if Parekhian had smiled slightly in that inorganic voice..
《Because I loved the lie.》
“parekian…….”
《My life was a dark night. Because I had no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. I spent endless time in the dark, unable to see anything..》
Violet placed her hand on Parekhian's body, which was no longer moving..
Parekhian's blue magic was formed in that area along with a faint mechanical sound. It was like holding hands, Violet thought..
《But you were the first to give light to my world. You gave color to my world, which was all black..》
“…….”
《You came into my heart with a palette full of paints, and you painted my world in countless colors..》
Parekhian's mechanical voice gradually became blurred, and at the same time, it contained a vague warmth..
《The constellations that night were the most beautiful sight I've ever seen in my life..》
“…….”
《therefore… … I have enough reasons to die for you.》
After wiping her tear-stained face with her sleeve, Violet slowly moved her hand and placed it on Parekhian's broken head..
And give him one last vision... … It showed me a world filled with dazzling sunlight..
《ah…….》
Like colorful paints spread on white drawing paper.
A variety of emotions arose in Parekhian's empty voice as it faded away..
《Look, Violet. The night is disappearing from the sky.》
In a satisfied, happy voice... … Parekhian whispered softly..
《Beautiful, light purple like you.…….》
Then, the blue light slowly faded from the dragon's body..
Violet slowly hugged Parekhian's dead body. He cried loudly and hugged him for a while..
Until the now fully bright sunlight wipes away the dawn and turns into dazzling midday. Continue.
