Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 81
◈ 081. [Side Story] Right place at right place
I put the three new horse guns on the table and examined them..
‘It's in the shape of a pistol..’
Perhaps because they use the same three magical cores, all three have the same shape. I picked up the magic gun and checked the stats..
[Cerberus Lv.25]
- Category: horse gun
- offense power : 11-66
- Durability : 6/6
- magazine capacity : 6/6
- The last bullet in the magazine always critically hits.
“Since all three handles were made in the same shape, I named them Cerberus..”
“The three-headed dog of hell? That's a good name.”
I looked at all three pistols and placed them on the table. It is obviously smaller than a typical horse gun.
“But why did it become so small??”
“I heard that all the magic guns made so far are used by one person..”
yes. These are all items for Damian..
“If you include the horse gun you showed me as the first sample, there are six.?”
“however?”
“If you carry around six weapons of this large size, no matter how much you do business, you will be exhausted. In addition, the magic gun is a weapon that has a lot of recoil and puts a strain on the body..”
Of course, during a defensive battle, all you have to do is keep it on the castle wall and hold it and shoot..
In situations like going outside, such as on a free expedition, the weight of the horse gun is a huge burden on Damian..
“So I tried to reduce it as compactly as possible. Long-distance combat power may be slightly lower, but it will be good at mid-to-close range..”
“Rather, it is light and small, which is an advantage when the distance is close..”
I nodded in satisfaction..
In this way, you can change the equipment settings to a long gun during defensive battles and a pistol during free exploration..
You can try different combinations.
As a test, I tried shooting a pistol at a shooting range nearby..
taang-!
Even though it is a handgun, the recoil is incredible. Even though I held it with both hands and fired it, my wrist still felt sore..
Still, compared to the previous long gun-type machine guns, it is at a charming level..
With long guns, your body would fly backwards every time you fired it..
I put the pistols in a box and packed them well. I said I should give it to Damien as a gift..
“Thank you for your hard work, union leader..”
“you're welcome.”
“And I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave it to you to make the next equipment right away..”
“What have you got to be sorry for! It's our job.”
I put the ingredients I had prepared on the table..
One Golden Gargoyle Magic Core (SR).
And five golden armor fragments.
“What I'm requesting this time is…….”
I took a breath and then let it out..
“‘It's 'boss equipment'.”
Tension flashed across the face of the blacksmith guild leader..
***
What is Boss Equipment?.
Boss monsters have a high probability of dropping exclusive magic cores when defeated..
Players can use this magical core as they wish..
You can make equipment, you can make artifacts, and you can sell them to make money..
Even if you make equipment, you can just inject magic core into the equipment you need at that time..
If you need a shield, a shield. If you need shoes, shoes..
It is possible only at the player's discretion and preference..
but.
Equipment used by the boss monster.
‘Boss equipment’ modeled after it can only be made if you have the boss’ magic core and materials..
Since the performance is very good, it is good to make it if the conditions and circumstances are right..
‘It's not that I didn't make it because I didn't know. Until now, the categories did not overlap..’
For example, the ghost knight who was the stage 1 boss..
This boss's equipment is 'Ghost Knight's Greatsword'. But since none of us have a character that uses a great sword, we didn't make it..
‘Afterwards, elite monsters appeared in place of the boss, or even when the boss monster appeared, the dedicated magic core was not dropped..’
Anyway, in the meantime, I picked up the golden gargoyle's magic core and armor fragments..
It is now possible to make Golden Gargoyle's boss equipment - 'Golden Armor'.
“Please make it as thin and light as possible..”
I specially ordered.
“Not heavy and not uncomfortable to move around.”
“Then it seems like the defense will be that much lower.…….”
“Does not matter. Just make it easy for me to act.”
“All right.”
The option I ordered looked like armor, but its actual performance was close to that of a magician's ceremonial dress..
“When will you take your measurements??”
“I'll try again next time. First of all, the size... … Please make it a little smaller.”
After completing my order and paying in advance, I left the blacksmith shop..
Lucas followed behind me and nodded..
“Will you wear it, my lord? In that case, something lighter would definitely be better. There is no need for you to go to the front line..”
“Ugh, whatever…….”
I trailed off.
I guess I could wear it. Let's see the options pop up and decide..
***
Alchemist's Workshop.
The anti-aircraft artifacts were being repaired smoothly. That's not why I came today.
“lily.”
This was to inform you that Jupiter was out of the stage, so our Flame Archmage would be added back to the party..
“His Royal Highness has arrived.~!”
“…….”
Lily, who was diligently repairing an artifact, stared at us with wide eyes..
“I guess I should step up this time too.……?”
“Yes… … That's it..”
Or rather, have you ever not been to the front line? It seems like I get called up every time I play defense..
Lily sighed and shook her hands..
“What should I do? It's my fault for being born a wizard..”
“Okay, okay. Blame yourself for being so proud.”
“Boo…….”
I said it jokingly, but Lily's face became tearful. No, he's crying! I'm really crying!
“Ooh, don't cry! It's my fault! No, I will still use it in battle.!”
“I’m not crying… … It's because artifact dust got into my eyes.…….”
Lily, rubbing her eyes, opened her eyes clearly and said.
“majesty. I have a favor to ask you..”
“Yeah, yeah. say it.”
“Later, when a lot of junior wizards come in..”
“ok.”
“Even if I step down from the front line. Please make sure everyone comes to say hello to me every time they come in..”
“ok?”
It was an unexpected request..
Lily explained the reason to me as I blinked..
“I brag about being a wizard, but my talent is only so-so. Let alone being educated in an ivory tower, I couldn't even train under a great teacher..”
“Umm.”
To be honest, Lily is an R-rated character..
He is also a second-rate mercenary who has flowed into poor fronts such as the monster front..
For a wizard, it is not a case of having great talent or high achievements. I know it well too.
“Aren't there going to be a lot of great, great, talented wizards coming to the front lines in the future? Then only then will I be able to get a fixed office job..”
“Yeah, right.”
“At that time, I didn't want to be ignored by the brilliant genius juniors..”
Lily quickly spit it out as if she had been thinking about it for a while..
“Please treat me properly as a senior wizard. Even if you can't walk, even if you have an office job, as a wizard, that's okay..”
“…….”
I nodded loudly..
“There won't be anyone who ignores you, and if there is, I'll take responsibility and beat them up..”
While protecting us all, he became unable to walk..
So I was forced to switch to an office job..
What does it have to do with accomplishments as a wizard?.
No matter if there are hundreds or thousands of great wizards in the world, the one who has been through death together since Stage 0 is Lily..
“Would I not be able to do that much to our most senior dharma teacher? Leave those worries behind, Lily..”
I can do anything for you except retirement, Lily.!
“That's it then…….”
Lily sighed and turned her attention back to the artifact..
“I won't run away, so don't worry. If you call me, I'll join you right away..”
“okay. Thank you, Lily.”
There are two wizards in the Aigis Special Task Force right now, so I have to bow down and greet them as soon as tomorrow..
After looking at the anti-aircraft artifacts that were being repaired and the people working silently, I left the workshop..

In the carriage returning to the mansion.
I was currently struggling with the status of the characters unfolding before my eyes..
Jupiter, the core power, wide-area attacker, is out of the stage, but has obtained a sub-party..
The training status of the main party is not bad either..
‘How can I fight this stage with maximum efficiency?…….’
I think of various combinations and strategies in my head..
sparkle.
The traitor's necklace worn around his neck shone. The entire inside of the carriage sparkles..
I groped my neck in confusion..
‘This?’
Add-on function attached to the necklace.
[[Dark Event Tracker] was working. A system window appeared before my eyes..
[Dark event notice for STAGE 4!]
dark event.
‘A shitty ordeal that someone intentionally put on me to ruin this game..
It activated all three times in the last stage, and sure enough, it activated again this time..
‘Okay, what is it this time? Let's find out.’
And what came to mind was…….
[Activated dark event: Boss monster added]
> One more boss monster appears.
What?
My eyes widened. So this means that two boss monsters will appear.?
Let's go ahead and open the enemy information window.,
[Enemy Information - STAGE 4]
- Lv.? ??? : 2 bodies
- Lv.15 Rock Gargoyle: 360
- Lv.20 Steel Gargoyle: 242
It's real! There are really two!
“Boss mobs are copied?!”
I had a headache so I ran my hand across my forehead..
The boss monster of the Gargoyle Army is already a tough guy, but if there are two of them,…….
‘Oh, no. Let's think as positively as possible, be positive!’
I switched my thinking to hope circuit mode..
‘You get double the amount of items dropped by the boss! Double the experience! It's a double event, a double event!’
No, these are not empty words..
The boss battles are very intense, but the rewards are doubled..
What did Nietzsche say? The pain that doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
There is nothing more true than this in RPGs..
‘Yes, more terrible dark events await! Send more boss mobs and stronger enemies!’
It's just a tactic of dealing with two boss monsters, because it's routine in the mid to late game..
Soon, tactics began to combine in my head..
Clearing the conditions is not difficult as long as you know in advance..
‘I'll chew it all up and eat it. You damn monsters.’
I was already thinking about what to make with the ingredients of the two gargoyle boss monsters..
I'll chew it all up, level up, pick out awesome items, and push into your base..
And I will make you regret keeping me alive and strengthening me through trials..
The carriage quickly approached the mansion. The weather was cloudy, as if dark clouds were gathering from afar..
With the faint smell of rain, Stage 4 was quickly approaching..
