Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 781
◈ 781. [STAGE 49] Nightmare of the World
Equipment made from a corps commander-level magic core, or not only its owner.
Those who faced and overcame their fears and nightmares. Everyone is my Nightmare Slayer.
All of them, undeterred by the nightmare of this world, were waiting for my call in the outer reality..
And he answered my call.
Flash! Flash! flashing!
After the heroes appeared one after another, a lancer in dazzling white armor and a knight in black armor with dual swords landed behind me..
“Wow, your hair is long! What in the world is this? It’s a senior with long hair.!”
Evangeline found me and cried out in horror.,
“lord.”
Lucas politely extended his hand to the side..
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……!
Then, pieces of light gathered inside the sword tube and coalesced into the shape of a long ceremonial long sword..
Lucas knelt down on one knee in front of me and held it out in front of me politely..
“thank you.”
I took this Nightmare Slayer - [Light and Shadow] and pulled it out at once, transforming it into the shape of a flagpole..
A dazzling flag of light spread in the empty air, erecting a wall of magic around us..
At the same time, the armor that only had fragments left on my right hand - [Owner of the High Tower] also restored its complete form and covered my entire body in the form of a coat..
We stood on top of the fortress, fully prepared..
《……!》
Inside the mask, Crown's face was distorted as he looked at us..
But the emotion didn't seem to be anger or frustration..
《Yes, after all…….》
That feeling I feel,
《If you're the last player, you should do this-!》
He seemed close to relief..
Bleep.……!
With the sharp sound of the crown's flute, the speed of the monsters rushing towards us became even faster..
Doo doo doo doo-!
the number is infinite.
It literally boils over the entire horizon, and an endless horde of monsters rushes in..
Even in all previous defensive battles, we have never faced such numbers..
Even though all my colleagues are probably shocked,
“let's begin!”
no one is scared.
Actually, if you think about it, it's natural..
We are Nightmare Slayers.
He is the natural enemy of nightmares and the master of nightmares..
As long as you know that this place is a dream, there is no reason to be afraid of infinite enemies coming.……!
Damian smiled brightly and fired [Black Queen] without hesitation..
Touquaaaaang-!
A dazzling magic bullet struck with a tremendous explosion sound, and among the infinite monsters rushing towards us, all enemies in one direction were completely destroyed..
“let's go-!”
After that, Kuilan, Kelibei, Verdandi, Thorkel, Mikhail, Zenith, Evangeline, Lucas... … Everyone wielded their own weapons and began the battle against the infinite monsters..
Every time each weapon is swung, each person's special skill comes out and literally sweeps away the pouring monsters..
Everyone is lucky, everyone is unfair.
In the world of nightmares, the Nightmare Slayers were all demonstrating near-invincible power..
however.
Doo doo doo doo……!
Enemies are also infinite.
Following the Rat Army, Tamjinchi's Trouble, and Apocalypse Knights that Crown had brought out of reality, all kinds of incredible monsters that had never been heard of were constantly flooding in..
Ultimately, antagonism).
Invincible warriors defeat infinite enemies, but the situation of war remains fixed and does not change..
furthermore,
Saaaaa…….
The enemy is approaching.
‘The lake princess who can't sleep’.
Even if it's in a dream, she has a different level of existence..
Because she is also the lord of nightmares.
so that… … What we will do is decided from the beginning.
“junior!”
I shouted to the wizards gathered together and preparing their spells..
“How to release the nightmare from within, you must have prepared properly.?”
End the nightmare itself.
I came here to use this method from the beginning..
“Of course, your highness.!”
The wizards, including Junior and Diarmudin, grinned all at once..
“Coincidentally, we also have ‘experts’ in this field.!”
So, standing in the center of the continent's top wizards who formed a joint magic circle,…….
“It's like this again, again!”
It was our illusionist, Violet..
“Don't keep asking ordinary people like me to save the world.!”
“You sound like a criminal, you're already a hero in an epic! Don't take it out!”
I reached forward..
“Tear this nightmare apart, Violet.-!”
“It's an order given by someone, so of course it should be so.……!”
Violet shouted, having completed the spell perfectly as always, despite grumbling..
“Illusion area, maximum liberation-!”
Going to school……!
A dazzling light bursts out centered around Violet, and the next moment.
Rumble…….
Kugwagwagwanggwang!
The world started to fall apart.
There was a crack in the sky, it broke apart and rained down, the earth shook and the ground fell down..
Violet is a nightmare slayer who faced and overcame the darkness within herself and, moreover, swallowed the evil dragon's Yeouiju and transcended her own limitations..
She is the one who deals with 'daydreaming'.
When the illusion that the nightmare slayer unleashed with all his might collided with the world that was the nightmare itself, cracks were immediately revealed..
And, in a collapsing and shaking world-
“……found!”
Junior captured people's nightmares and discovered the source of the magic that created this world..
“[Elemental Deconstruction]-!”
Junior's ultimate attack, fired without even a moment's hesitation, explodes..
Clang-!
A halo appeared in the sky and space was seen breaking apart, and in the next moment, the source of the magic shattered..
《Ugh……?!》
It was the flute in Crown's hand..
Through that flute, I was dealing with nightmares, collecting them, and building the world within this nightmare..
And, at the same time as the flute shatters and the crown swallows its moans,…….
Saaaaa…….
The world of nightmares began to quietly disappear beyond the horizon..
Both the technique for collecting nightmares and the means for dealing with nightmares have been lost. Collapse was a natural progression..
“…….”
As I looked at this nightmare world that was now completely collapsing and disappearing, I looked straight ahead again..
《…….》
‘The lake princess who can't sleep’.
She stood tall in front of me.
Through his burnt morning veil, he stares at me with his dry, emotionless turquoise eyes..
“…….”
In this world, and in countless worlds of the past,.
This evil being has always destroyed people and killed my precious people..
Even if it was a nightmare, when I experienced it, I could see how terrible and scary the existence in front of me was..
“cotton.”
but,
nevertheless.
“still… … i want to save you.”
my mind won't change.
My strategy doesn't change.
“Now I feel like I know how you feel.”
A world already destroyed.
hope that doesn't exist.
Harsh life and accumulated fatigue.
Colleagues defecting one by one or falling apart from wear and tear.
Even through all that hell, he didn't give up and kept the light on.…….
Your kind heart, willing to bear the nightmare of all your people..
Putting myself in your shoes, I realize how arduous and difficult it must have been. I think I know a little bit.
“Now, at least a little bit... … I think I really understand you.”
the nightmare is fading away.
Even the monsters in nightmares become light and disperse.
To the enemy in the disappearing fantasy, no... … Beyond that, in the darkness of the Lake Kingdom, to the true unknown who is still suffering.
I whispered.
“wait. I will save you.”
After the nightmare world collapsed, I stood on the southern wall of the Crossroads..
To my left and right, my colleagues stand in an orderly manner..
And under the walls, in the southern fields... … I saw the crown sitting on the floor..
Clutching a shattered flute in his bloodied hands. This man quietly stares into space with his detached eyes..
“crown.”
I told him honestly.
“thanks.”
《……?》
I smiled at him who looked puzzled..
“For giving me the final ordeal.”
《…….》
“For helping me face and overcome my last fear. thanks.”
Crown, who was looking at me blankly, let out a laugh..
《……Say whatever you want.》
Crown grumbled, reached into his arms and pulled out something..
it was a shiny key.
《Take care of it. You'll need it on your way to the end..》
Crown threw the key on the floor and looked at me blankly..
《ash.》
And, after stammering my lips and hesitating to speak for a while,.
《……Good luck.》
Just saying that.
The next moment, it was scattered and disappeared in the blowing snow wind..
“…….”
I looked at the spot where he disappeared and then turned around..
The nightmare is ending.
My hair, which had grown long, became shorter, and the dragon scales that had grown on my body suddenly all disappeared..
And here, where the world of nightmares had almost completely disappeared, the last traces still remained..
“what…….”
The boy in the nightmare who fell down and lost consciousness for a moment.…….
Sixteen-year-old Sid blinked his haggard eyes and looked around..
“Master Diarmudin, Sister Junior, Uncle Janice, Brother Damian, everyone.…….”
“…….”
“Haha, what is it? Is it because it's time to die... … Did everyone come out to meet you?……?”
The boy recognizes them, but they don't know who the boy is.
My heroes looked at me puzzled..
“Your Majesty, this child……?”
“…….”
I didn't answer, but quietly knelt down on one knee next to Sid..
Know.
This child is not real.
It's nothing more than a nightmare that plausibly mixes memories of a long-ago destruction and my fears, a fantasy that passed by in a dream one night..
nevertheless…….
I spoke to Sid in the nightmare.
My colleagues didn't bother to inquire further about who the child was or what his identity was..
Because everyone would have known in their heart and soul.
Everyone, each with a determined expression, turned quietly and looked around the city..
While people were swallowed up in a nightmare, voices and lights were spreading like waves across Crossroads, which had been as quiet as ever..
The nightmare is over and people return to life.
The 49th defensive battle has ended.
we survived again.
The world has not been destroyed yet.
“let's go.”
and.
In the future, we will not perish.
Because I will stop it.
Because I promised to do so.
Looking down at the brightening cityscape, I chanted with determination..
“To the final stage.”
