Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 783
◈ 783. [Side Story] Para bellum (2)
a few days after that.
I stopped by an empty ship hangar. It was because there was a report that there was progress in the work..
“Coco Grandma.”
I asked as I approached Coco, who was pulling a large body out of the engine room of the secret ship La Mancha..
“how is the situation?”
With the magic power engraved on the dimensional transfer technique found on the demon ship,.
Coco took on the task of loading it onto my flagship La Mancha..
“done. Now all we have to do is make the final adjustments..”
Coco giggled and tapped the wall next to the engine room..
“Now, theoretically, this airship can enter the Otherworld. but…….”
“but?”
“This dimensional magic power itself is unstable. Because it is extremely deteriorated… … The number of times you can jump between dimensions will not be very high, so use it carefully..”
I didn't plan on using it much anyway. As long as you go back and forth, crossing the boundary of the dimension once, that's enough..
“……The end is near.”
Coco looked south. The black lake points in the direction of her homeland, the Lake Kingdom..
Coco, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked:.
“Are you really not going to defeat Nameless??”
“…….”
“In a few days, the child will become a monster, but it is not too late. You can still kill that kid. But if he doesn't kill him now, he'll get really out of control after that..”
“…….”
“Still, really… … Until that kid turns into a monster and invades Inse, are you going to leave him alone??”
I nodded..
“That's the path I've chosen.”
“Instead of an answer that seems certain, we face an uncertain challenge... … Are you really willing to risk everything??”
“…….”
I was silent for a moment in response to Coco's question..
and thought.
A few days ago, I saw it with my own eyes… … The unknown figure who became the ‘Lake Princess who couldn’t sleep’.
***
a few days ago.
Lake Kingdom Dungeon.
widely!
I planted the flag of the World Defense Front in the last dungeon..
The occupation war was over, and while the heroes were clearing up the surroundings, I stood on the high ground and looked at the entire Lake Kingdom dungeon..
This is the area 10 dungeon ‘Peak Tower’’.
This is the place where constellations were studied by observing the stars in the sky in the Lake Kingdom. Naturally, it is located at the highest point in District 10..
“after…….”
When I exhaled, white breath dispersed..
I quietly looked at the entire dungeon, where light was scattered like salt..
Now, except for the final dungeon in area 10, 'Royal Castle', all areas in area 10 have been occupied..
The remaining pieces of the nameless soul were recovered from the occupied area. I looked at the pieces of her soul swirling in my hands..
“…….”
And, the last area that has not yet been conquered… … I looked towards the royal castle..
In front of the royal castle, in the center of the fountain plaza - a shape trembling in the dark was seen..
Inside that huge cocoon of darkness, Nameless will be transformed into the ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’..
In the game, I attacked her before she finished the fable and descended into the world as a monster, and had a decisive battle with her inside the castle in the final dungeon..
But this time I plan to leave her alone..
Completely end the fable, completely transform into a monster, and walk out of the dungeon on your own to end the royalties..
I plan to leave it alone and watch..
“lord.”
When I turned around to hear the voice, Lucas, who was standing next to me and looking towards the royal castle, spoke with a serious face..
“You can cut it now.”
“…….”
“If you just give me the order, I will finish it with my own hands..”
“no.”
I turned around.
“Go back. I leave obscurity alone..”
“But, my lord.”
“So far we've always taken the hard way instead of the easy way.”
Taking the pieces of my anonymous soul in my arms, I firmly declared:.
“There is only one reason. Because it was the right path rather than the difficult path..”
“…….”
“Trust me and follow me, Lucas..”
Lucas looked at me quietly for a moment and then slowly lowered his head..
“Anytime, anywhere… … . It has been that way and it will always be that way..”
***
today.
“Instead of an answer that seems certain, we face an uncertain challenge... … Are you saying you're willing to risk everything??”
I smiled brightly at Coco who asked that question..
“The answer that the world has already given is not the answer that my soul can understand..”
“……!”
“To achieve the results I truly desire, I will pioneer a completely new path if necessary..”
A path no one has gone down or tried to take.
I'm trying to move forward on that one path.
“This ship will be a great help in clearing the way. Thank you, Grandma Coco.”
“…….”
Coco looked at me quietly, then smiled bitterly and nodded..
“request. Please, anonymous… … Save our princess.”
I didn't bother to answer.
Because the results will prove it anyway.
***
In my spare time, I opened the last reward boxes..
Most of the boxes showed trivial magic cores or equipment of no special note, but there were still a few interesting ones..
I picked up my new gear and headed east to Crossroads..
During the Black Dragon invasion, the huge pirate ship 'Blue Pearl' was anchored alone in this charred wilderness..
The Blue Pearl, which is also the home of the Mermaid soldiers, is currently very busy..
Food Duck! food duck!
Griffons scattering their feathers and the people of Vermilion Kingdom who command them were busy carrying luggage..
'La Mancha', which was originally used as the flagship of the Sky Knights, was assigned a different role in this final battle, so it was being transferred to the only remaining airship, 'Blue Pearl'..
“ash!”
Mikhail, who was gliding in the sky on his griffon, came down smoothly and landed in front of me..
“Mikhail.”
I greeted her face to face and gestured towards Blue Pearl..
“How do you like the new boat? It's not uncomfortable?”
“pirate… … No, ugh. It's not bad because the mermaid people are cooperative. It's not as new as La Mancha, but the deck is wide enough for griffons to take off and land..”
After asking about the current status and areas for improvement,.
I handed the gift I brought to Mikhail..
“receive. It's a saddle, and I think it will suit you best on our front lines..”
Mikhail's eyes widened as he accepted the saddle..
“This…….”
It was an old-fashioned saddle that seemed to have been made on the Eastern Continent and was slightly different in style from this one..
The name of the equipment is [Jijaecheonri (志在千里))].
‘It means 'the mind is a thousand miles away', and is also a word used to express the mindset of a famous horse..
It is an SSR grade saddle, a rare piece of equipment that has an effect on vehicles. Basically, vehicles wearing the saddle do not get tired easily.…….
By collecting the stamina you have saved, you can gain instantaneous acceleration once a day..
To put it simply, it is a booster, a booster.!
It will be useful for Mikhail, an air cavalryman..
“It's a great luxury product..”
Mikhail, who had been riding a griffon all day, was visibly happy when he saw at a glance how good this equipment was..
“Good luck, Ash. thank you so much.”
After patting Mikhail on the shoulder, I headed inside Blue Pearl..
“Then prepare well. I have business inside.”
“okay. See you later.”
Blue pearl inside.
King Poseidon and the Rompeler siblings were together on the bridge..
“Ah, Prince Ash.”
When I entered, King Poseidon greeted me with a warm smile..
“Welcome.”
“King Poseidon. And Rompelers. Good afternoon.”
As I greeted him, I noticed that King Poseidon's eyes had regained their original deep blue color instead of the golden color of power..
And the sight of the golden color gently emanating from the eyes of the Rompeler siblings as they stand awkwardly..
“I had just transferred all of my remaining tribal god powers to these two..”
Even the last authority is transferred.
His pale blue hair has also lost its color and changed to a light sky blue, and he has now turned into a really thin and gaunt figure who has lost weight, but King Poseidon looks at peace..
“I gave my power to a younger person who could use it better, but of course I have no intention of retiring from the front lines. I will do my best until the final battle..”
“i look forward to.”
After paying my respects to King Poseidon, I turned to face the Rompeler siblings..
“I'll take care of you two too..”
The Rompeler siblings, who were looking at each other, looked embarrassed and scratched their heads at the same time..
“Probably because we joined later than other races.…….”
“My contribution to the front line is low, my proficiency in anti-monster warfare is not high, and I'm worried that I'm just becoming a burden in one way or another..”
Not only was he late in joining the front line, he even crashed once after being hit by Apocalypse Knights during the previous battle..
The Rompeler siblings were a little discouraged because they were being watched and going through hardships. Moreover, she came to accept the power of an unfamiliar race of gods..
I approached them and tapped them on the shoulder..
“Whether you join quickly or late, whether you fight well or make a few mistakes... … What could it be? What matters is that we all come together and fight together..”
Everyone who was at odds and fighting now stands shoulder to shoulder and looks in the same direction..
All nations and races with free will in this world, together.
This alone makes this battle worthwhile. Seriously, I was just thankful they were here..
“King Poseidon taught me well how to use the power of the tribal gods.…….”
I placed the equipment I had brought on the bridge table..
“I brought you some gifts.”
“This……?”
The first thing I took out was a large anchor..
This skillfully crafted steel structure was clearly an anchor, but it had a handle attached so that a person could hold and swing it, and when held through the handle, it was enchanted to lighten the weight for the user only..
In other words, the user can swing lightly, but the actual weight of the attack is applied to the opponent who is actually hit..
The name of the equipment is [Weight of the Sea]].
First of all, in terms of classification, it is an SSR grade blunt weapon..
Among the Rompeler siblings, Rompeler, the woman who takes charge of close combat, made a loud noise and grabbed the anchor..
“Oh, it feels good……!”
I explained to her, who looked like she was holding an anchor and posing like a baseball hitter..
“It's fine to use as a melee weapon, but this anchor's special effects are fun... … The moment the anchor touches the ground, it allows the user's ship to 'anchor' immediately..”
The female Rompeler tilted her head..
“huh? what effect is that?”
“In a situation where the ship is about to crash, if you throw this anchor to the ground at the right time,?”
“……!”
“By forcing the ship to anchor itself in place, the fall is avoided..”
The twin pirates' faces lit up..
Having experienced an emergency crash landing during the last battle, this safety device seemed quite welcome..
“Where did you get this kind of equipment?! After all, people on land have a lot of strange things! Thank you, Prince Ash!”
The female Rompeler lunged at me and tried to kiss me..
After barely fending off the rough skinship typical of sailors, I handed the next piece of equipment to the male Rompeler..
“Okay, and I'll give you this.”
“This……?”
What I handed to the man Rompeler was a multiple-barreled spear gun..
It looked like a large cannon loaded with three harpoons, but the effect was extremely simple. Shoot a harpoon to hit the opponent and bind them..
However, the special effects are powerful..
“The enemy hit by this harpoon will never be able to escape from it until you retrieve it..”
“……!”
It is a device used to tie up an opponent and restrict their movements..
The name is [Obsession of the Sea]. It is an SSR grade throwing weapon..
I was considering placing it on the castle wall, but no matter how I looked at it, I decided to give it to pirates because I thought they would handle it well. This is their specialty, connecting a harpoon between ships and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.…….
“They gave me such a delicious weapon!……!”
The man, Rompeler, looked touched and suddenly began searching through the treasure chest inside the bridge, saying he would also give the ship a gift..
After politely declining the jeweled skull he brought out, I took out one last small piece of equipment..
“and… … I want to entrust this ring to you only for this battle..”
As soon as he saw the equipment, did he read the dangerous power within it?.
Both Rompelers gasped at the same time..
“This, this……?!”
What I put on the table is [Kraken's Ring]].
It is a special equipment that can summon the strongest sea monster, the Kraken..
“I have trained it well, so if I call it out, it will fight well against monsters. I'm only lending it to you for this defense, so use it well and return it.…….”
Instead of speaking, I kept my mouth shut..
“It's mine!”
“Don't be funny, it's mine!”
The two Rompelers rushed at each other to get the ring, and soon they started punching each other and rolling around on the floor..
“Of course, as my older sister, I should have such a pretty ring.!”
“What nonsense! The good stuff is definitely mine, my brother.!”
Crumbling, boom boom…….
The twin brother and sister threw punches at each other and rolled off the bridge..
“Ugh.”
I sighed, picked up the ring, and handed it to King Poseidon, who was laughing next to me..
“Best wishes, King Poseidon.”
“Just believe in me.”
King Poseidon grinned as he quickly put on the ring..
I just laughed too. haha.
The distribution of new equipment was also coming to an end..
