I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 640

As the Banshee Commander had revealed, Winged Huan’s reverse scale was hidden on the upper part of its long, trailing tail feathers.

《So what if you know…!》

Despite having the location of its reverse scale exposed, Winged Huan showed no signs of panic.

《Do you really think you can even touch my reverse scale with your pathetic blades?!》

“No, but, you’re already broken, with your horns, eyes, beak, and wings all smashed to pieces…”

It’s almost a full-body destruction, yet he’s still putting on a show!

However, Winged Huan’s bluff wasn’t entirely empty. Our heroes were indeed having trouble getting close to its tail.

Especially the tail feathers—long and flowing like a phoenix’s—Winged Huan wielded them freely. It would lash out like a whip, spread them wide like a peacock, and feathers would burst out from there as well.

‘The reason our attacks worked so far was thanks to luck and good timing.’

During the ‘Wind Wave’ pattern, when it was unable to move and was fixed in the air, we were able to pummel its face repeatedly.

We were able to cut off one of its wings with Berdandi’s attack, which was packed with trump cards. We were able to make it fall in succession.

But it was a child of the Black Dragon. A true dragon.

It couldn’t be killed so easily. And on the ground, it wouldn’t allow any more critical hits.

《Kiyaaaaaaak-!》

Even with its body half-destroyed, Winged Huan resisted fiercely, and our heroes started to suffer more injuries.

Watching the heroes being knocked away like bowling pins by its attacks, I swallowed hard.

‘At this rate…’

I checked the time and clicked my tongue inwardly.

‘The next breath timing is coming soon.’

So far, there haven’t been any casualties from its breath or feather bombardments, but we’ve been pushed to a very dangerous point. I almost died myself just now.

If the next breath is charged and the next feather bombardment is prepared, we don’t know how much damage we’ll take. We need to end this before that.

That’s when it happened.

Tadat-!

Someone rushed past me towards Winged Huan.

I saw long white hair scattering. I was startled and shouted.

“Nameless?!”

I had placed Nameless with the mage party, along with Damian, in another location.

When did she run all the way back here?

“Your subordinates were worried, so I came to support you alone.”

Nameless glanced back and smiled.

“You can use me a little more, Ash.”

“…”

Every time I faced Nameless, my heart became complicated.

Because of her unfortunate fate, and… the anxiety that she might transform into something else someday.

But right now, her help was crucial. I nodded, and Nameless shot forward.

On the battlefield, the blind swordsman Nobody, who had lowered his stance, was drawing his long sword from its sheath.

“Is it here-!”

Flash!

Nobody’s slash, which was second to none except for accuracy, flew out with a metallic gleam and-

Screeeeeech!

It cut off Winged Huan’s tail feathers.

It was a missed slash throughout this battle, but the one time it hit, it was a home run!

Winged Huan let out a roar filled with pain and rage, and Nobody laughed heartily.

“I’ve beheaded the enemy commander-!”

“It’s not the head, you idiot, it’s the tail!”

Anyway, he did a great job!

As she brushed past the blind swordsman, Nameless also drew the long sword she carried on her back. A dazzling light gathered on her old iron sword.

《You who have lost your name…!》

Winged Huan, sensing Nameless’s presence, tried to attack her, but Dusk Bringer jumped in front of Winged Huan and slammed her chain greatsword down.

“Do you dare to look away in front of me?!”

《You half-dragon, don’t get in my way-!》

Winged Huan seemed to be going crazy because it had too many targets to hate. It showed no signs of calming down from its berserk state.

It seemed to have decided to deal with Dusk Bringer first. The evil dragon opened its huge beak wide, then snapped it shut, accurately biting down on Dusk Bringer’s chain greatsword.

“Ugh?!”

《Die-!》

And then, it released the magic power and sound waves gathered in its mouth towards Dusk Bringer, who had momentarily stopped moving.

Kwagwang-!

A terrible explosion erupted from Winged Huan’s beak.

Winged Huan’s main attack, a combination of a single breath, dragon roar, and sonic attack. In the game, it was a nasty technique that killed my front-line troops countless times.

But-

《What…?》

When the smoke cleared, Dusk Bringer was no longer there.

Dusk Bringer had already let go of the chain greatsword and was running on top of Winged Huan’s huge head. The chain greatsword was already being disassembled and worn as armor on her body.

As soon as the chain greatsword was caught in its beak, Dusk Bringer transformed the greatsword into armor. She escaped from its beak, safely received its attack, and at the same time, climbed onto its head.

“Isn’t this new technology amazing?!”

Dusk Bringer, laughing heartily, had her armor ripple and flow down again, transforming into a greatsword in her hand.

“I’ve lived for over one hundred and twenty years, yet every day is new!”

From greatsword to armor. Back to greatsword from armor.

Controlling the [Master of the High Tower] freely like flowing water, Dusk Bringer stood on Winged Huan’s brow.

“How many more rare things will fill the world in the future? Can you even imagine it?”

Dazzling sunset-colored magic power gathered on Dusk Bringer’s chain greatsword, which she raised high.

“You can’t, with your poor imagination. That’s why you only think about ending the world.”

《How dare you climb on my head, you mere hundred-year-old whelp, you impudent fool-!》

“What does it matter if I’m a whelp, or a fool, you ancient relic.”

It was the first time someone had stood on its head, so Winged Huan was so blinded by rage that it couldn’t see anything else.

Chwaak-!

Nameless, who had already passed between Winged Huan’s legs, slid on the ground to slow down, and pointed her sword of light downwards.

The reverse scale was clearly gleaming on the severed tail feathers. Nameless didn’t hesitate and slashed upwards with her sword of light.

At the same time, Dusk Bringer roared as she slammed her chain greatsword straight down.

“I’ve seen much more of this world’s beauty than you-!”

The sword of light that Nameless unleashed tore through Winged Huan’s reverse scale, soaring from below, and

Dusk Bringer’s sunset-colored greatsword shattered Winged Huan’s head horn, slamming down from above.

The two streaks of light, which stretched out fiercely, met in the center of Winged Huan’s body,

Flash-!

It burst into a dazzling light that brightened the entire area.

In that great light, the ancient evil dragon was cleanly cut into pieces.

***

When the dazzling light faded, Winged Huan was lying there, torn to shreds.

《Ah…》

The evil dragon let out a low dying whisper with its severed head.

The rage that had been burning fiercely had faded in vain, and it stared at the empty air with empty eyes, muttering like this.

《Fath, er…》

The light faded from Winged Huan’s one remaining eye.

The Black Dragon’s wings had died like this.

From the tail of the fallen Winged Huan, Nameless flicked her long sword downwards to shake off the blood, then spun it around and placed it on her back as she walked out.

Dusk Bringer, having confirmed Winged Huan’s death, transformed her greatsword into a coat-type armor, put it on, and turned away with a ‘hmph’ sound. The chain coat fluttered, making a clanging sound.

I stared blankly at these two wonderful people, then muttered quietly.

“…Somehow, from a certain point, I was just commentating.”

While my companions were fighting a mythical battle, I was just watching from afar…

No, but I’m the commander. I had a good view. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it? Hmm.

The two people walking towards me suddenly looked at each other. Dusk Bringer smiled and gave Nameless a thumbs up.

“You were amazing, Nameless unnie. Good kill!”

“…?”

Not only Nameless, but everyone around them was dumbfounded. It wasn’t the content of the conversation, but the title that was the problem.

Nameless, puzzled, pointed at herself.

“Un…nie?”

“Didn’t you say you were five hundred years old before? I’m just over one hundred and twenty, so you’re the unnie!”

Well… that’s true… but somehow the image…

It’s so awkward to see that dragon lady treating someone as her senior… it feels strange…

“…Unnie, unnie.”

But then, Nameless smiled and awkwardly gave Dusk Bringer a thumbs up.

“That’s right. I’m older than everyone here. Call me nuna or unnie comfortably. You had a good kill too, Dusk dongsaeng.”

…Dusk dongsaeng?

What kind of baseless title is that?

Our faces were becoming more and more distorted, but the two women didn’t care and were laughing and giving each other thumbs up.

‘Well, if it’s good for Dusk and good for Nameless, then it’s fine. Ash, Ash, cha cha cha…’

Anyway, we safely defeated Winged Huan.

There were crises, and there were moments when we almost died. And there were quite a few injured, but we were able to defeat the dragon without any casualties this time as well.

I looked around at the heroes and tried to organize the situation.

“Those who are injured, get first aid first, then gather the loot and prepare to retreat slowly…”

At that moment.

Saaaaaa-

A chill went down my spine.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed something was wrong. Almost all the heroes sensed something at once and quickly grabbed their weapons.

“What is this?!”

I turned around sharply.

And then- I saw it.

The dark sky of Lake Kingdom. From far away, a certain being was flying in, showing off its elegant figure.

It was spreading the evil energy it emitted like a cloud, like a carpet, beneath its body. It was fluttering its two long, forked whiskers to the left and right.

It was holding a huge wish-fulfilling pearl in each of its front paws, and its bright golden eyes were gleaming as if observing us closely…

A long, huge, Eastern-style dragon.

“Skaerian…!”

I shouted, recognizing it at a glance.

“It’s the ‘Pure Scale of the Black Dragon’! Everyone, prepare for battle-!”

At my command, my exhausted heroes immediately reorganized their formation and began preparing for the anti-dragon battle.

‘Damn it, I didn’t expect it to jump in right away!’

This is why I said it was a series of battles before.

It wasn’t just because we had to fight these guys one after another.

In the game, there was a rare event where if one of the brothers died, the other dragon would immediately appear for revenge.

In the worst case, we could face a literal three-way battle…!

‘I prepared for it, but I didn’t expect it to actually come!’

But I also knew.

It was rare for the battles to be anything but the worst. The situation always rolled down below the worst I had imagined.

So, it was inevitable that this dragon would appear here… It was predictable!

“My lord…!”

Lukas, who had run to my side, gestured to the scroll in his arms.

It was a dungeon escape teleport scroll. He was telling me not to push it and to run away.

‘But I can’t do that!’

Why are we hunting those children before fighting the True Black Dragon?

It’s to create a dragon slayer to fight the True Black Dragon. We need a weapon that can damage that transcendent evil dragon king.

But if we use the dungeon escape teleport scroll, we have to give up all the loot. That means it will be impossible to create the dragon slayer from Winged Huan.

‘We’ll only escape in the worst case, until then, we have to fight!’

And we also have trump cards saved.

The mage party.

The reason why we didn’t use this most important force and kept them on standby was to prepare for this possible series of battles. Especially since the mage party needs to be active in the battle with the Black Dragon’s Eye, we saved as much magic power as possible.

Damian also used his ultimate move once, but he should have rested enough to fight. He should be able to use [Black Queen] too.

‘Come, dragon! I don’t care if it’s a series of battles. I’ll give you a taste of my power!’

And then.

Kugugung…!

Skaerian, the Pure Scale of the Black Dragon, who had approached smoothly across the sky, landed softly at a distance from us.
