I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 792

Countless ultra-gigantic monsters advanced endlessly, filling the sky and the earth.

Lukas watched them silently, then,

“……Hoo.”

He took a deep breath and spoke in a firm voice.

“Do not be afraid.”

“……!”

At his words, the soldiers on the bridge straightened their backs. Lukas continued calmly.

“They are all opponents that we humans have defeated before.”

The fact that they crawled out of the nightmare of the Lake Kingdom was proof that they had been defeated by humans before.

Therefore, there was no reason why they could not be defeated a second time.

“And above all, His Highness the Crown Prince has already given us a way to defeat them.”

No, it was the opposite.

It was only by using these ultra-gigantic monsters that they could effectively stop this endless horde of monsters.

“Operation name: Titan Fall.”

Lukas spoke the name of the operation that Ash had given, and explained.

“It is an operation to bring out all the ultra-gigantic monsters that we can use.”

Lukas looked around at the heroes on the bridge who could control ultra-gigantic monsters.

“First, Jörmungandr.”

The serpent-shaped Jörmungandr, which was wrapped around Violet’s neck, hissed. Violet now laughed in a resigned and hollow manner.

“It’s me again……”

“And, Kraken.”

King Poseidon nodded and stroked the [Kraken’s Ring] on his hand. It was the ring he had received directly from Ash not long ago.

“Finally, those who can seize control of ultra-gigantic monsters on the field……”

Lukas looked at the two captured legion commanders standing side by side.

“The two legion commanders who have sided with us.”

The Dullahan Legion Commander and the Banshee Legion Commander stood there with equally detached expressions.

《Another headhunting operation…… Heh heh. Fine. I’ve never taken over a body that big before. This will be fun.》

The Dullahan Legion Commander spoke first, followed by the Banshee Legion Commander.

Everyone expected her to cry out as usual, sing with the [Heavenly Voice] device, or even pretend to cry while throwing out some bizarre jokes, but instead,

《Can I say one thing before we go?》

A normal voice suddenly popped out.

Violet, flustered, looked at the Banshee with a cold sweat.

“What, why are you suddenly talking normally……?”

Regardless, the Banshee Legion Commander spoke calmly.

《While I was on this front line…… thank you for treating me like a real comrade.》

“……”

《It wasn’t for long…… but it was fun, like going back to the time before I became a monster.》

Violet, horrified by this, shrieked.

“Why are you being so ominous?! Don’t suddenly leave a weird will, you have to come back in one piece! Got it?”

《Heh heh…….》

The Banshee Legion Commander smiled and pulled her veil down further, covering her mouth.

《Hoo hoo hooong.》

With that murmur, which was hard to tell whether it was a laugh or a sob, all the participants for the operation were decided.

Lukas began to explain the operation.

“The outline is simple. Jörmungandr will defeat the elephant-like monster, ‘Behemoth.’ Kraken will defeat the crocodile-like monster, ‘Leviathan.’ And the two legion commanders will ride the Blue Pearl and approach the eagle-like monster, ‘Ziz.’”

Lukas glanced at the ultra-gigantic monster approaching from above.

“Behead it, and seize control of that giant body.”

The head held in the Dullahan Legion Commander’s arms tilted to the side.

《I can seize control, but…… how are you going to cut off its head before that?》

“I will cut it.”

Lukas said simply, but everyone understood.

He was currently the acting commander, but he was also the strongest knight of the World Protection Front.

If it was Lukas, it would be possible. No, it had to be Lukas.

King Poseidon, who had been listening to the simple plan, asked.

“What exactly do you mean by ‘defeat’?”

“They are ultra-gigantic monsters. They are so large that they destroy all terrain and structures just by advancing.”

Lukas conveyed the plan as he had heard it from Ash.

“In other words, if we can knock them down once, we can sweep away all the other giant monsters, as well as the smaller monsters.”

“……!”

“It is not necessary to kill them. Rather, it is better to repeatedly knock them down, and in the process, sweep away other monsters to increase the damage.”

In this final defense battle, the monsters could not be annihilated.

The enemy was infinite. It was impossible to fight and defeat them.

Therefore, all operations were based on the principle of delaying tactics.

This time was no different. The goal was to delay the enemy’s advance by using the ultra-gigantic monsters as much as possible.

“King Poseidon, Violet, and the two legion commanders. You all have the means to control your respective ultra-gigantic monsters. Please rampage as much as possible, accumulate damage to the enemy, and buy us time.”

“Um, but……”

Violet, who had raised her hand, rolled her eyes.

“It’s good to buy time, but can we come back……?”

“Of course.”

Mikhail, the commander of the Azure Sky Knights, stepped forward and proudly puffed out his chest.

“Our Azure Sky Knights will take responsibility for the retrieval. Trust my knights.”

“Heh heh, okay.”

Violet chuckled briefly and tapped her temple with her fingertip.

“I think I’m broken somewhere. I don’t even feel like this is a crisis anymore.”

“Consider it a crisis, Violet.”

Lukas added coldly.

“You know very well what kind of end a gambler who doesn’t feel a crisis meets.”

“Ugh, the acting commander is so cold……”

Violet whined, looking tearful.

Lukas knew well. He could not become a warm leader like his lord.

What suited him was the role of a cold and stern field commander, sharpened like a sword.

And sometimes, the battlefield needed someone like him.

“Now, there isn’t much time!”

Instead of comforting everyone, he quickly made them aware of the things to be careful of in this operation.

Lukas commanded.

“From now on, we will go to…… defeat the ultra-gigantic monsters!”

***

Flap-!

The large sails of the pirate ship-shaped airship, Blue Pearl, were fully unfurled.

“Let’s go!”

The two captains—the Rompeller siblings—who had drawn their weapons at the bow, commanded.

“Full speed ahead!”

“It’s whale hunting time-!”

Thud-!

The blue wind generated behind the magic anchor was shot out.

The airship, shot out like a rocket, quickly gained speed.

Flying the black flag of the World Protection Front, the symbol of no symbol, instead of the Jolly Roger with a skull, the airship sped south.

The front of the monster horde was quickly approaching.

The scouts, who were looking at the ground with telescopes, shouted in unison.

“Landing point, reached!”

“Now is the time-!”

Lukas ordered.

“Violet, King Poseidon! Deploy!”

Violet and King Poseidon were already sitting on the saddles behind the griffons.

Two of the most elite Azure Sky Knights—Mikhail’s two wives—had finished preparing to take them into battle.

Lukas nodded briefly.

“Good luck.”

The departing ones nodded back at the same time.

“Good luck!”

Thud!

The two griffons, carrying the two knights and two monster tamers, kicked off the deck and soared into the sky, then,

Whoosh-!

The next moment, they began a rapid descent to the ground.

As the two griffon riders approached the ground, the monsters on the ground quickly noticed their presence and attempted to intercept them.

Bang! Bang! Boom boom boom……!

Flames, venom, magical projectiles, and beams of light poured out chaotically.

However, the two griffon riders were among the most skilled of the Azure Sky Knights, and the griffons were also the strongest and most agile individuals.

The two griffons, scattered in the air, performed all sorts of acrobatics, evading all interceptions, and continued their rapid descent.

The griffon carrying Violet approached the giant elephant monster—Behemoth. Its body was so huge that it was like a moving mountain range, so its height was also high.

The Azure Sky Knight looked back, and Violet nodded.

“I will definitely come to pick you up.”

“I believe you, sis-!”

Violet swallowed hard once, closed her eyes tightly, and threw herself out of the saddle.

“Waaaaaaaah!”

The wind whistling past her ears made a sharp metallic sound. It was difficult to even open her eyes properly without generating magic in the intense wind pressure.

“I’m sorry to the acting commander, but it’s still hard to feel like this is a crisis……”

Violet said honestly as she free-fell onto Behemoth’s head.

“It’s just…… too unreal!”

Boo-oo-oo-!

Behemoth, sensing the presence falling above its head, raised its huge head. The monster’s long trunk was slowly, but with great force, swung around.

Violet grabbed Jörmungandr, which was wrapped around her neck, with both hands. Then, as if understanding her intention, the snake gently unwound and was held in her hand.

“Jörmungandr!”

Violet shouted powerfully and threw Jörmungandr down.

“Manifest-!”

Then, the entire body of the thrown serpent shone in a pale gray color—

Flash!

It instantly transformed into a giant world serpent.

The giant serpent that appeared from the sky gently extended its tail to catch Violet, then,

It opened its huge mouth wide and grabbed Behemoth’s long trunk that was being swung around.

And then, it fell onto the elephant’s body.

Kugwagwagwagwang……!

A roar erupted from the clash of the two ultra-gigantic monsters, and a cloud of dust rose in the area.

Shockwaves spread in all directions, and the advancing small monsters all lost their balance and fell.

The second griffon rider, who flew past the scene of the clash, flew even lower.

Part of the dry winter land had turned into a swamp due to heavy rain and floods.

And at the very front of that swamp, a giant crocodile-like monster—Leviathan—was slowly swimming and advancing.

Constantly spewing rain from its body…….

“I don’t think there was a scene like this even in the mythical era.”

King Poseidon murmured as he fell from the griffon’s saddle.

“No…… today is the day a new chapter of myth is written.”

Rejoicing at the fact that his name would be engraved in the annals of history, King Poseidon focused his power on the ring.

“Kraken!”

The writhing malice embedded in the ring was felt.

However, King Poseidon skillfully controlled that malice.

He had already faced even greater malice than this, and also…….

“We are children of the same sea!”

This monster was also from the same world.

It was an ally who wanted to prevent this world from being destroyed!

“Summon-!”

Flash!

Countless magic circles overlapped behind King Poseidon, and a giant cephalopod creature passed through the magic circles like a door.

Kuo-oh-oh-oh-!

The strongest marine monster, Kraken, which had appeared in the world, placed King Poseidon on its body and fell straight towards Leviathan.

Large, thick tentacles poured down like a rainstorm onto the crocodile-shaped ultra-gigantic monster.

Leviathan could not avoid it.

Kugwagwagwagwang……!

The entire swamp exploded, spewing black and huge sprays of water in all directions.

***

While the four ultra-gigantic monsters began to clash with each other on the ground.

The Blue Pearl, which had continued to fly, had now reached right in front of the eagle monster, Ziz.

And to defeat the flying eagle ultra-gigantic monster, Ziz…….

It was Lukas and Mikhail’s turn to deploy.

“Are you ready, acting commander?”

Mikhail, who had first mounted his griffon, smiled brightly.

“Ready to cut through the sky.”

“I have already cut through the darkest night.”

Lukas, who had lightly climbed onto Mikhail’s back seat, replied dryly.

“There is no reason why I cannot cut through the sky.”

“Haha……!”

Mikhail, who let out a light laugh, glared at the ultra-gigantic monster approaching from the front and widened his crimson eyes.

“Still, I’ll make it a little easier to cut, I’ll make a scratch or two.”

“It is an honor to have the best Azure Sky Knight of Vermillion with me.”

“That’s what I should be saying. The Empire’s Greatest Sword.”

Mikhail said playfully, but Lukas suddenly caught his breath at that title.

The Empire’s Greatest Sword.

Once, his family had so relentlessly obsessed and strived to regain that title, but…….

In the end, he regained that title now, when he had completely forgotten that such a title even existed.

“……”

A faint smile appeared on Lukas’s lips.

Mikhail, who had readjusted his twin spears, launched the griffon.

“Well then, shall we go! Let’s have the best sword of Everblack and the best wings of Vermillion, put on a collaboration that will be recorded in history!”

Thud-!

The king’s griffon, which had kicked off the deck, spread its two wings wide and leaped forward at a dazzling speed.

Towards the overwhelmingly huge eagle that was pouring in front of them…….

Without backing down, they charged straight ahead.
