I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 793

The eagle-type ultra-gigantic monster, Ziz.

This monster had the ability to monopolize the sun’s light and heat by covering the sky, converting it into its own power.

Kooooooo…!

The red and yellow feathers covering the monster’s back stood up stiffly all at once.

With the power of solar heat and light gathered so far, the monstrous bird was transforming its body into a new form.

Whirrrrr!

Heat and light flickered and spread across the giant bird’s entire body.

It was like a giant firebird.

The overwhelming heat and light pouring from the monster’s massive body made it feel as if the sun was right in front of them.

In front of such a giant firebird, Mikhail and Lukas were still charging forward without hesitation.

Their appearance seemed foolish, like Icarus flying towards the sun.

“If you don’t have the courage to reach the sun….”

However, the griffon’s wings were connected by solid muscles, not wax, and Mikhail’s destination was set with conviction, not recklessness.

“Can you fly in the sky-!”

This was not a fool’s leap, but a hero’s challenge.

Flash!

Light scattered from Ziz’s flame-covered body, and the next moment, condensed light and heat poured out in the form of a beam.

Mikhail’s griffon dodged all of those light beams.

Thud-!

Using the [Jijaecheonri] saddle [a magical saddle that enhances speed and maneuverability] newly received from Ash, it instantly accelerated.

Maintaining a faster speed than usual, it moved horizontally, vertically, folded its wings, spun around, then unfolded its wings, ascending and descending rapidly.

With bizarre movements and flight, it evaded the mythical monster’s attacks that poured down incessantly, without allowing a single hit.

At the end of the dizzying acrobatic flight, the griffon rider succeeded in getting close to the giant eagle’s head.

“I am Mikhail Vermillion, the King of the Vermillion Kingdom!”

Mikhail declared, emitting a dazzling vermilion light from the magic spears in each of his hands.

“I am the ruler of the sky in this era!”

《……!》

“Return to where you originally slumbered, wings of the past-!”

The moment Mikhail, who had approached rapidly, tried to stab the monster’s neck with his magic spears, the giant eagle’s beak opened wide.

Kyaaaaaaaa-!

A tremendous roar erupted.

Due to the heat-filled sound waves, Mikhail could not get close and had to retreat hastily, driving the griffon away.

However, even while retreating with an emergency evasive maneuver, Mikhail had a smile on his face.

“Too late, monster…!”

Mikhail’s hands were no longer holding spears.

Swoooosh!

Having approached the monster as close as possible, he threw the spears as they were.

Scattering vermilion magic along their trajectory, the two magic spears that flew through the sky like missiles-

Thud!

Thud-!

Slammed into the giant eagle’s neck.

Not only did they pierce, but they also sprayed magic from the tips of the shafts, pushing the entire spears all the way in.

Whoosh…!

The monster’s blood splattered everywhere along with Mikhail’s vermilion magic.

“I made a scratch!”

Mikhail shouted, watching this scene.

“Show me your skills, Empire’s Greatest Sword-!”

《……?!》

Ziz’s eyes, bewildered by the pain from the foreign objects embedded in its neck, turned upwards urgently.

Because something else was flying directly above its head.

Whoosh!

It was a knight holding a sword of light in each hand, his body wrapped in a golden aura.

Lukas had already soared into the sky on the griffon’s saddle, moving separately from Mikhail.

The knight’s body, drawing a gentle parabola, fell straight onto the monstrous bird’s head.

《Kyaaaaaaa…!》

And for the first time today, Ziz changed the direction of its body.

Due to the unique toughness and innate arrogance of the ultra-gigantic monster, it had not changed direction no matter what attacked it from the front….

However, from the small human swordsman rushing towards it, Ziz read an indescribable eerie premonition.

Ziz tried to twist its massive body to change direction. The mere movement of the giant bird’s wings caused a gale and scattered the distant clouds.

“Don’t bother.”

However, Lukas didn’t care in the slightest.

“I’m already within my range.”

The golden aura that had been flickering around Lukas’s body due to the [Full Body Descent] effect [a technique that enhances speed and power] gathered behind him, forming a golden halo-

And the next moment, it turned white-hot, emitting propulsion forward.

Thud-!

Lukas easily followed the monster’s neck as it tried to twist its massive body to avoid him.

《Kyaaaaaaaa!》

Finally, Ziz attacked Lukas by emitting light beams from its entire body as a last resort,

But Lukas lightly held out his two swords, instead absorbing the poured light beams through the blades.

“I’ll use it well.”

At the same time as landing on the monster’s neck, the knight’s two long swords struck down like wedges on the two magic spears that were already embedded.

The two magic spears completely penetrated the monster’s neck, leaving a devastating wound on the giant bird’s neck, and then the two long swords followed the wound and penetrated inside.

Swoosh…!

Following Lukas’s movements, the two long swords lightly cut the monster’s neck and came out again.

Lukas’s long swords looked too short compared to the monster’s massive neck. It looked like they had only made a small wound.

Nevertheless, Lukas jumped aside as if he had completed his mission.

Mikhail, who had flown in right next to him, skillfully caught Lukas and placed him behind him. Mikhail looked at the still intact Ziz and asked.

“Was it not enough?”

“No.”

Lukas calmly sheathed his two long swords.

“I cut it.”

The next moment.

A long crack appeared on the giant eagle’s neck, and blood seeped out along the crack….

Crack-!

The giant head was cleanly cut off and fell.

The moment the two swords penetrated the monster’s neck, Lukas wrapped the blades with a slash of light and magic, and with the momentarily enlarged blades, he severed the monster’s neck.

The decapitated eagle’s head slowly fell down. The monster’s shocked eyes looked at Mikhail and Lukas with disbelief until the very end.

“Haha!”

The two magic spears that had flown back through the sky were recovered into Mikhail’s hands. Mikhail, who burst into a pleasant laugh, waved his hand towards the approaching Blue Pearl.

Another griffon rider was already carrying the Durahan Commander and the Banshee Commander.

Thud-!

Before Ziz’s massive body lost its balance, the Durahan Commander’s head attached to Ziz’s severed neck.

《Hmm, this is a grotesque appearance again…》

The Durahan Commander, who had instantly seized control of Ziz’s body, muttered.

The Durahan Commander moved Ziz’s massive legs and caught the falling decapitated head.

The Banshee Commander, who had moved along Ziz’s legs to the side of the decapitated head, placed her hand on the giant head.

Then, the monstrous bird’s eyes, which had been losing their life, opened wide, and a beautiful song came out from between its beak.

《Isn’t this what we always do~》

Looking at this bizarre scene, Mikhail broke out in a cold sweat without realizing it, but Lukas didn’t even blink.

“Commanders, please take care of the remaining operations.”

《Leave it to us.》

《To be able to wail to my heart’s content in the sky, hehe…》

Ziz’s massive body slowly turned, and soon, it turned completely around.

《There won’t be another chance like this!》

And, it flapped its wings powerfully towards the other flying monsters that were following behind.

Numerous beams of light were fired from the monstrous bird’s giant wings, and the head held in its feet incessantly emitted sound waves.

The remaining flying monsters that were advancing towards the Crossroads through the sky were swept away by the attack and began to fall in an instant.

***

At the same time, on the ground.

Kugwagwagwagwang!

Shaking and splitting the earth, Behemoth and Jormungandr were clashing.

Booooooo-!

Roaring like an elephant, Behemoth was constantly trying to trample Jormungandr with its massive body.

It had no other special abilities, but with its overwhelming size and mass, which could not be compared to any other monster, Behemoth was a disaster in itself.

Every time it stomped its foot, the terrain changed. Mountains collapsed, and rivers surged.

Small monsters that were on the ground even slightly close were not even left with a shape, and medium and large monsters also fell, covered in blood.

However, Jormungandr was also a world-ender. The one who causes earthquakes.

Its body was so hard that it could break the hardest rocks and twist the strongest ley lines [underground energy pathways].

At least when it came to physical force on the ground, it would not be pushed back by anyone.

Jormungandr narrowly avoided Behemoth’s stomps, absorbed the shockwaves with its body, climbed onto Behemoth’s body, and tried to break and destroy it.

The collision of the two ultra-gigantic monsters caused extreme earthquakes and dust clouds to rise like waves.

“Kyaaaaaa! Uwaaaaaa!”

In this process, Violet was having a terrible time.

“Ants get crushed in a whale fight!”

Violet couldn’t even tell where she was now due to the constant barrage of dirt bombs and shockwaves exploding from all directions.

Whether it was luck or all part of Prince Ash’s calculations, she didn’t know.

But because of the [Dragon Scale Cloak] she had received before this battle, she was able to maintain her balance even on the bodies of the rampaging monsters.

Thanks to the special equipment effect, claws popped out from her shoes and gloves, allowing her to cling to walls and run on them. And the high defense of the [Dragon Scale Cloak] kept her body intact.

So far, that was the case.

‘The time limit is about to end?!’

Jormungandr could only manifest as the ‘World Serpent’ for about 10 minutes.

It was the effect of the special equipment [Old God’s Husk]. Once the duration ended, it would shrink to the size of a snake. It only had 10 minutes to fight.

Instead, Behemoth had an innate weakness.

If it fell even once, it would never be able to get up again. It was a weakness due to its large and heavy body.

In fact, ancient historical records state that Behemoth accidentally tripped and fell sideways, and then starved to death, becoming the mountain range in the western part of the continent.

So, Jormungandr, whose battle duration was only 10 minutes, was aiming to squeeze out all its power during this time and knock Behemoth down at least once within 10 minutes….

‘How much time is left now?!’

Violet screamed horribly, grabbing onto something and hanging on, completely out of her mind.

She was so confused that she didn’t know how much time was left, where she was, or even who she was. Help me….

“Huh?”

It was then. Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

Violet spat out the dirt that had gotten into her mouth and looked around.

And she was finally able to realize what the situation was.

“……!”

It was pinned down.

Jormungandr was.

One of Behemoth’s massive ten legs had finally succeeded in stepping on the tip of Jormungandr’s nimble tail.

《Booooooo…!》

Behemoth roared fiercely and put strength into its foot,

《Chirrr?!》

Jormungandr had to give up on wrapping around Behemoth’s neck and fall to the ground in pain.

Crack, crack…!

From the place where Behemoth stepped on it, Jormungandr’s scales began to shatter.

Jormungandr tried to resist, but Behemoth’s other legs also succeeded in stepping on Jormungandr’s body one by one.

《Shaaaaaak…!》

Jormungandr writhed in agony. The World Serpent spat out blood roughly.

《Booooooo-!》

Behemoth let out a roar. It was a confident and loud cry, as if it had sensed victory.

And.

“Huh…?”

Violet was watching all of this.

“Huh, huh…?”

From on top of Behemoth’s head.

“Why… am I here…?”

Perhaps during the fierce battle, when Jormungandr wrapped around Behemoth’s neck a little while ago.

The battle had become the most intense, and Violet, terrified, had closed her eyes tightly and climbed around, and somehow ended up here….

It was then. Violet’s bewildered eyes suddenly met Jormungandr’s eyes below.

Jormungandr’s yellowish eyes were clearly looking at Violet.

Only then did Violet come to her senses.

“……Eeei, I don’t know!”

Whether this situation was intended by Jormungandr or her own good fortune, who cares.

The enemy monster’s weakness is right in front of her!

Violet put her hands on Behemoth’s massive head and used her ultimate skill.

“[Daydream]-!”
