Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 716
716. [STAGE 41] Ghost King (3)
When the Ice Spirit King froze the Ghost King's legs, he was unable to move, and our magic bombardment continued to fall on the Ghost King's body..
Oh oh oh……!
The Ghost King twisted his body in pain. Seeing this, Zenith shed tears of joy..
“Hehehe, you’re the best, my son.…….”
Hannibal must be proud that he accomplished something..
Priestess Rosetta, who was looking at Zenith as if she was pitiful, nodded at me..
“I don’t think we need to come forward. majesty.”
“I think so.”
I crossed my arms and looked at the crumbling figure of the Ghost King on the other side..
I wanted to test the rest of the equipment, but the Wraith King had collapsed before that, so strictly speaking, there was no time to test it..
The Oath series provided to Zenith and Rosetta is specialized in fighting against small mobs, and the equipment provided to captured monsters is also difficult to use against super-giant monsters such as the Ghost King..
In the case of Jormungand, it would be quite useful.…….
‘There won't be any left around me.’
The equipment given to Jormungand, [Flesh of the Old God], is equipment that transforms you into its prime form for 3 turns..
In other words, this little Jormungandr can be returned to its former large form for 10 minutes..
It would be a good size match with the Wraith King, but we are too close to fight on that scale, and since Jormungandr's physical charge ultimately deals physical damage, it would be difficult to defeat the Wraith King, who is immune to physical damage..
So I decided to test the rest of the equipment later and finish it off with magic bombardment.…….
《Oh oh oh oh-!》
The spirit of the Ghost King, who was quietly being beaten by magic, suddenly changed..
Blah blah, blah blah!
Suddenly, bright blue incontinence spread in all directions across the entire body of armor that made up its body. I flinched and shook my shoulders..
‘That's not the damage we did!’
The energy swelling from inside the armor seemed to have inflated the entire armor as if it would burst at any moment..
The entire armor began to break apart from the inside with a crackling sound, and soon blue and pale energy poured outward through the exposed cracks..
I shouted, raising my hands in the air..
“Stop shelling! Switch to full defense posture-!”
The soldiers who were firing cannons hastily threw away their cannons and retreated, and the wizards also stopped using attack magic and switched to defensive magic..
Evangeline shouted as she ran to the front holding a temporary shield instead of the shield she usually used..
“Senior, then that is……!”
“okay. His final pattern…….”
I was shocked by the unexpected development of the situation..
“The body inside the armor… … It is the final blow that releases all the condensed ghosts at once.!”
Just like the Ghost Knight in Stage 1, the Ghost King's armor will spill out when all of its armor is destroyed..
In the case of the ghosts poured out by the Wraith Knight, it only inflicted mental status ailments, but the ghosts poured out by the Ghost King inflict direct damage to the soul of the hit person in addition to the mental status ailments..
‘You can't believe you use it yourself!’
Realizing that there was no way to overcome the current situation, he decided to destroy the armor himself and divert all his remaining energy into emitting ghosts. This crazy monster bastard has always been good at fooling around.!
At that time, Lucas, who was preparing defense next to Evangeline, was heard strangely boasting..
“It's a pattern that all 'original members' who have been with the lord since the first defense battle know..”
“Oh really! Don't be a campaigner, man.!”
Evangeline grumbled..
The two were bickering and relieving tension as usual, but for some reason, there was still an awkward and strange atmosphere flowing between them..
In the past, Evangeline would have just slapped Lucas a few times. Otherwise, Lucas would have played more pranks on Evangeline first..
It's really far away now. We don't even make eye contact with each other..
‘Mmm…….’
Are you okay, those two?.
……Ah, no, now is not the time to worry about such fresh emotions. They tell us to solve those problems on our own..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
With a terrifying bursting sound, the Ghost King's entire armor was torn into pieces. As if a bomb had exploded inside.
Among the armor fragments falling like firecrackers in all directions... … A group of blue and pale ghosts spewed out at terrifying speed, making deafening noises..
It really looks like a storm of ghosts..
“Hehehe!”
“Wow-!”
It was a truly shocking sight. The experienced soldiers had seen worse situations so they calmly maintained their defensive stance and endured, but the volunteer soldiers were completely confused. Many people dropped their equipment and fell to the floor..
‘[[Indomitable Commander] Is it like this even though it is being applied?.’
Indeed, the ghost king. Moreover, because it is a kind of suicide attack, the momentum feels even stronger..
‘If it's a mental condition, I can just neutralize it, and I've prepared a defense system in advance against ghost soul attacks.…….’
Still, the momentum of the pouring ghosts is unusual. I think I will be able to withstand it, but I may suffer more damage than expected..
‘Let's test out my new gear?’
I took a step forward and took a deep breath..
After glancing down at my new equipment, [Jade Seal Ring] on my right ring finger,,
“I am the commander of the World Defense Front..”
I slowly spit out the starter word..
“I represent everyone on this front..”
The ring, which did not have any patterns engraved on it, was filled with symbolless black. It was a symbol of the world defense front..
“Therefore, all responsibility lies with me..”
The buck stops here.
After turning around, looking ahead-
I made a fist with my ringed hand and punched the air in front of me..
flashing!
Then, the royal seal was imprinted in the empty space, as if a seal was engraved in the air..
And, next moment.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
Transparent white energy began to swirl around the symbol in the air..
This white energy was flying in and gathering from the Crossroads, and it was also rising and condensing, one by one, from everyone gathered here on the battlefield..
The trembling volunteers were all confused when a ray of white energy surged from their bodies and flew in front of me..
This is the function of the [Jade Ring].
[Seal Ring (EX)]
- You can gather the will of the members of the organization you represent and manifest it as strength..
I can unite the people under my command and their will and use it as my strength..
‘Currently, I am the tribal god of mankind, but although I have achieved godhood, I am actually having difficulty exercising my power..’
During the decisive battle with the Black Dragon, all of humanity desperately wished for 'morning', so they were able to use the sunlight to put an end to the Night Bringer..
Usually, the will of the entire human race does not come together as one, so humanity is a species that has developed by opposing and fighting with each other and pursuing differences..
‘For a grandiose name like ‘tribal god’, it surprisingly doesn’t have much power..
This [Jade Ring] can be said to be a device that assists me in that respect. By narrowing the scope of the people I represent, I am concretizing the clear will of those people into one and using it as my power..
I muttered while looking at the symbol of the World Defense Front engraved in the air..
“I wish on behalf of the World Defense Front.”
And now, there is only one thing that those gathered here desperately wish for..
“That group of nightmares... … I hope they don't invade our world!”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Then, the white and transparent energies gathered in the air began to quickly transform..
White energies, like tetrapods piled up as breakwaters on the beach, lined up in front of my magic castle wall..
And above - a tidal wave of ghosts crashed in..
Kwaaaa!
Like a stormy beach scene.
The pouring waves of ghosts were unable to break through the breakwater created by the will of mankind and were shattered..
Kyaaaaa……!
In front of a group of ghosts scattering like foam, I took a deep breath..
If what is pouring down on us now is the will of monsters and nightmares to destroy this world,,
I represent the will of the people of this world.
In this world, I want to live just one more day... … Such a will to live!
“From here on out, it’s a man’s world..”
I was confused.
“Get the hell out of here, monster.-!”
The vengeful spirits unleashed by the Ghost King did not give up and continued to crash against the breakwater. How many times have my castle walls stumbled?.
But I endured it in the end.
When the storm that seemed like it would never end ended and people raised their heads one by one…….
There was no trace of the ghosts that were attacking us, and dazzling sunlight was falling from the clear sky..
“…….”s
The events of Teige 1 suddenly flashed before my eyes..
For a moment, soaked in an unknown emotion, I looked at the battlefield where the enemies had disappeared..
Turning with my back to the sun, I looked down at my soldiers..
everyone is looking up at me.
Clearing my voice, I shouted.
“Over the past three years, we have defeated all kinds of legendary monsters..”
On this front line made of tombs.
We are still alive and breathing like this.
“And this winter is the last time we will weather this storm.”
Before we knew it, the long three-year journey was coming to an end..
This is our last season.
“After this winter passes, this war will end in some form. In one form or another, we accomplish our mission.”
I strengthened my voice.
“And if it's going to end anyway, I want to win!”
“……!”
“I want to achieve victory after shedding my best blood and sweat until the end. For the sake of all my comrades who sacrificed their lives for this war, I want to achieve a happy ending..”
I shouted and asked.
“What about you?!”
thud!
The heroes and skilled soldiers responded by simultaneously slamming their weapons on the ground..
I looked at the volunteer army and asked one more time..
“What about you?!”
The volunteers quickly got up and fixed their uniforms and at the same time slammed their weapons on the ground..
thud!
It was a little sloppy, but it was a sufficient answer..
“Come on, my people.!”
I clenched my fist and raised one arm upward..
“Will you fight with me until the end??”
thud-!
“Will you live with me until the end??”
thud-!
After looking around at my soldiers, who were now slamming their weapons on the ground in complete unity, I smiled broadly..
“Okay, let's go! To the final battlefield!”
The final great monster battle, 10 rounds.
The beginning was a complete victory.
“together until the end……!”

“…….”
same time.
On the crossroads wall.
Hecate was squatting down, looking across the south with a blank expression..
At that moment, the sound of creaking crutches rang out from behind. Hecate glanced back..
A warlock was approaching with an awkward gait, and a chain was seen..
“…….”
Hecate looked ahead again. Chain staggered over and stood behind Hecate..
The two men, who could no longer stand on the battlefield, quietly stood side by side there..
After a long silence, Hecate murmured carefully..
“By now, your colleagues are engaged in a fierce battle in front of the Black Lake..”
“…….”
“I can't be of any help anymore, I can't go to the battlefield, so what's the point of remaining here on the front line??”
Chain, who had kept his mouth shut, asked.
“If I leave, is there somewhere to go??”
“……no.”
After a short period of thought, Hecate answered..
“no.”
“Then where were you going??”
“…….”
Hecate pursed her lips and winked..
“Mr. Chain like that. Do you have somewhere to go??”
“There is a place to go.”
Chain let out a long sigh..
“I don't know if they'll accept me there…….”
“…….”
While cheers of victory rang out in front of the Southern Black Lake.
The two retirees who remained at the front, unable to fight any longer, were lost in silence, wondering where to go and what to do..
