I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 685

“Go!”With eyes wide open, black magic flowing from them, and his long beard fluttering in the rushing wind, High Tower Master Diermuidin shouted.”It is time to deliver divine punishment upon that fiend!”As Diermuidin’s robe, the Dragon Slayer [Old Phoenix], made from the magic core of Winged Huan, spread its wings wide, black magic wings sprouted on the backs of all the allied heroes descending.By accepting the darkness of the equipment, their abilities had improved beyond simple group flight, now granting everyone the power of flight, even if only temporarily.Swee-ee-ee-sh!Among the heroes descending separately, Torkel activated the awakening ability of his helmet—Nightmare Slayer [Original Sin].”Each to your optimal position… !”Then, the entire battlefield was shared in the minds of all the special forces heroes, and the best points for each to attack were detected.Torkel was to be in command of the special forces on the field from the start.Commander Lukas was expected to go berserk, while Torkel’s Nightmare Slayer [Original Sin], while emitting darkness, made the wearer more calm and composed.’Is it reflecting the nature of the Goblin God King?’He didn’t know, and there was no time to know. Now, he had to focus on the battle that was about to unfold.And, being calm and composed was only until he saw blood.As the black dragon came into view and the smell of the burning battlefield reached him, Torkel’s mind became hotter than ever before.He wanted to kill, plunder, and burn.Those monsters who had harmed his old comrades, the saintess, and Ash… all of them!”Commence battle!”Torkel shouted, thrusting his shield forward.The night, which had merged with the Night Bringer’s body, surged up like blades to intercept the heroes, but Torkel snatched and received all of those attacks with his shield, his body, his hands, and his teeth.In that gap, the heroes spread their wings and plunged down toward their respective attack points.Tsukaaaaak!Following Lukas, who was at the forefront, slashing at the Night Bringer’s neck with his twin swords, Berdandi, who had landed lightly beside him, raised the dagger in her hand.Dragon Slayer, [Isageum].At the tip of this dagger, green magic mixed with black was spewing out like flames.”You have taken too much from me.”Following her beloved younger brother, now even the friend she could trust with all her heart…Tears of blood streamed down Berdandi’s wide-open eyes. Berdandi then swung the dagger, its green light flashing, downwards.Flash-!At the same time, a black aura mixed with the green magic light, blazing like flames.A vortex of magic, protruding like a breath, tore into the Night Bringer’s body.Then, Kellybay roared.”My son too! And that brat of a prince who was like a son… !”In the air, Kellybay threw down the [Steadfast Superstition] he had brought.The huge Siren statue that fell down was embedded in the black dragon’s back like a giant nail. And Kellybay, gripping a huge war hammer, fell onto it-And struck the statue with the hammer.”Give them back, you monster bastard!”Jjeo-eo-eok!Like a stake hit by a hammer, the huge statue was driven into the Night Bringer’s body, causing a spray of blood in all directions.”……”Slightly delayed, Kuilan descended, quietly closing his eyes.The days he had spent on this front with Ash flashed through his mind.His brother, whom he had buried with his own hands.And, Yoon, who had smiled wanly and lost consciousness again…”……”Kuilan’s deep eyes opened.He had made up his mind.”…Take it, ancestor.”He decided to give his body to the nightmare.If he had given it sooner, he might have been able to protect Ash. But it was already too late.So… he would protect the lives of the precious people who were still left.Even if it meant shoving his soul and body into the mire of corruption…”In exchange for taking my body, protect this world, Yoon…”The rest of his words did not come out properly.His eyes turned crimson, then black, and finally, a completely changed, evil voice leaked out from his wide-open mouth.《Don’t worry, leave it all to me?》The ancestor of the Maple Leaf Tribe, the grand master of Maple Leaf Fist.Lycanthrope. The Beast of Gévaudan [a legendary wolf-like creature]. The Wolf King-Luna Red.The nightmare’s thoughts that remained within the Nightmare Slayer [Slaughterer of the Full Moon Light] finally completely took over the body of his descendant.《Kyahahaha! This sensation! This air! The smell of death that fills the whole world… !》The Slaughterer of the Full Moon Light, who had obtained a perfect body and was reborn in this world, laughed wildly.《I’ll kill them all! I’ll chew them all up! All, all, all! I’ll trample them all under my feet!》With his red eyes flashing, Luna Red glared at the approaching Night Bringer.《To do that, it starts with you! Black Dragon… this world is mine! Get lost!》After pouring magic into every muscle in his body to swell them up, he twisted his legs in the air, took a stance, and wrapped his silver-red body in dark red magic.《Severing Heart Wind Wolf!》The Wolf King struck down with the ultimate technique he had created.Tuhaaaaaak!The center of the black dragon’s back, where the werewolf’s fist had landed, began to collapse as if a huge crater had been formed.Following him, the other heroes also unleashed their darkness.”Blacken.”The black magician Chain bit the dragon bone awl that had been given to him.This awl was also a powerful Dragon Slayer, and it was imbued with resentment and curses, and therefore functioned as a ritual implement to activate black magic.Charrrr-rr-rr!The chains that had been hanging on Chain’s body disappeared all at once, as if they had been annihilated, and Chain stabbed the awl once into each of his freed limbs.”Blacken further… !”Then, darkness spewed out from Chain’s limb wounds instead of blood, and soon transformed into huge limbs made of black magic.Ultimate Skill, [Darker Than Black].Freely wielding the limbs of the giant black giant, Chain slammed his fist down.Kugugugung-!The Night Bringer’s hind leg could not withstand it and collapsed to the ground.”I couldn’t use this swordsmanship before because I didn’t have a sword to withstand it, a body to withstand it, or an understanding of sword principles…”Beside him, the blind swordsman Nobody, who had descended with him, slowly drew his black sword.The blade of this Dragon Slayer, made from the bones of Iphian, was soaked with Iphian’s black blood. This was because the inside of the scabbard, also made from Iphian’s bones, was filled with that blood.”Finally, I get to use it.”Nobody held the scabbard with his left hand, and with his right hand, he held the hilt of the black sword in reverse grip, slowly drawing the sword all the way out, then,Click-!In the blink of an eye, he put the sword back into the scabbard.The blood of Iphian, which had been sloshing inside the scabbard, splashed in all directions, and the next moment.Clang-!The huge tail of the Night Bringer, which had been rushing towards Nobody, was severed clean off.”Kuh-huh-heut… !”Nobody laughed as he fell through the cross-section of the severed tail.Ultimate Skill, [One Kill].The nameless slash he originally used was merely an imitation of this. It was a suicidal technique that would cut down the opponent but also break the sword and take the user’s life. It was a secret sword that Nobody could not use with his original abilities and had sealed away.But with the curse contained in this black sword, and his body that had fully accepted that darkness… he recklessly used it and was able to unleash its overwhelming power.Jjeo-eok-!As a price for using the forbidden secret sword, something inside Nobody’s soul shattered. But Nobody didn’t care and drew his sword again.”Burn…”Still spreading his wings and circling in the air, Diermuidin summoned a huge pillar of fire, burning the Night Bringer’s entire body.”Instead of young lives, burn to death with an old man like me… Ancient Dragon!”Diermuidin’s flames, heavily mixed with darkness, were already not much different in appearance from black flames. The flames licked and burned the evil dragon’s entire body.And, while the heroes of the special forces were cutting and crushing the Night Bringer’s body in various places-Taat!Lukas was running.Like a beast, he was running on all fours, climbing up the black dragon’s body, over its neck, and crawling towards the place where its huge head was.”Haaaaaaa-!”Roaring, Lukas wildly swung the swords that were clinging to his hands.Sword strikes were carved along the path he passed, and the Night Bringer’s body split open, spraying blood in all directions.Lukas, as if he couldn’t bear all of it, glared with his bright blue eyes and sliced through the monster’s entire body.The armor [Black Scale] that Lukas was wearing was now self-multiplying, sprouting like scales and covering Lukas’s entire body.Lukas could no longer tell.Whether he was human, beast, or monster. Whether he was something that could be called anything at all.’It doesn’t matter.’Either way, it didn’t matter.Whether he was a sword, a beast, or revenge, it didn’t matter at all.Because he wanted nothing more than to kill the enemy in front of him and end it all together.’Nothing else…’Shouting, running forward, just forward, Lukas thought so.Yes, he was…– It’s a dream.Because he didn’t have one.Because he didn’t have any other dreams anymore.So-– I may not become an emperor, but my dream is to become the coolest man in the world……Suddenly.A memory flashed through his mind.Long ago, a boy with luscious black hair.At their first meeting… he had smiled dazzlingly and said this.– So, you, who will be my guard, should also become the coolest knight in the world.Suddenly.A drop of bright blue flame flowed down Lukas’s cheek, which was covered in the black dragon’s blood.”…Euh.”The tightly closed mouth,”Aaaaaaaa-!”Again, let out a roar.It sounded like a wail, and also like a scream. Lukas ran like a beast and finally climbed all the way up the Night Bringer’s neck-And reached the front of the Night Bringer’s huge head.《Excellent.》The Night Bringer turned its long neck, looked directly at Lukas, and offered praise.Lukas rushed in without a moment’s hesitation.The twin swords, imbued with light and darkness, crossed in an X shape, drawing a long trajectory in the air.Clang-!The monster’s huge neck was cleanly severed.The severed head spun a full circle in the air, spraying blood in all directions, and then fell straight down.Thud, Kugugung-!Puhwak…!Standing in front of the highly raised cross-section of the black dragon’s neck, getting hit by the monster’s blood that was gushing out all over his body.Lukas stared blankly at the Night Bringer’s head rolling down into the abyss and muttered softly.”…I’ve, repaid it.”His fingertips were trembling because he had been gripping the swords too tightly. Lukas barely managed to hold onto the hilts of the swords that he was about to drop due to exhaustion.”My lord’s, enemy…”Lukas, exhaling a long breath, tried to clear his foggy consciousness and looked ahead.While the special forces were carrying out their surprise attack, the Night Bringer had not stopped attacking the Crossroads Fortress.It wasn’t a long time. During that time, the special forces had succeeded in their mission, but…The Night Bringer had also finally succeeded in its attack.The southern wall of Crossroads, swept away by the night and bombardment, was collapsing, tattered and broken. Seeing that horrific sight, Lukas gasped.’Still, we did it…’The wall was terribly destroyed, but. They had succeeded in defeating the black dragon.They had stopped the destruction of the human world. Above all, he had avenged Ash.So…《Is that all?》It was at that moment.Lukas felt as if all the blood had drained from his body at the voice that was heard so calmly.Gooooooo…It was slowly rising again.The Night Bringer’s head, which had definitely been severed.Like the auxiliary heads it had been using, it floated into the air calmly even though it had been severed, met Lukas’s eye level, and spoke calmly.《You have taken the wrong path.》”Wh, what…”《You cannot defeat me by going ‘that way’.》In front of Lukas, who was faltering and stepping back, the Night Bringer leisurely attached its severed head to the cross-section of its neck.Squelch, squelch…The night that had gathered from all directions covered the wound, and the next moment, the Night Bringer was whole again, as if there had never been a wound there.《To immerse yourself in darkness to kill darkness… if it were a situation within the norm, it wouldn’t be a bad choice.》The Night Bringer’s entire body, which had been crushed, cut, and severed by the special forces’ ultimate moves, merged with the night of the area, and the next moment, it was completely restored.《But you chose the wrong opponent. I am already the night itself of this world.》”……”《No matter how much you forge your blades of revenge with hatred and resentment, if the source of that power is darkness… what difference is there between shooting ink into a black lake?》The Night Bringer curled up the corners of its mouth in a smile.《Your darkness can never reach the bottom of my night.》
