I became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 191

◈ 191. [Side Story] Bandit King (3)

“It’s nice to see you after a long time, Prince.”

Damian murmured in a dark tone as he covered his eyes with one hand.

“But please don’t come near me.”

“… … ?”

“A nightmare lies dormant in this right hand. He might swallow the world… … A very vicious, black nightmare… … .”

Then, he suddenly grabbed the right arm holding the horse gun and groaned.

“Keugh! Calm down, Orlop! I understand that you want to go wild, but right now you’re in front of the prince… … !”

“… … .”

No, you’ve become a classic middle school sophomore character.

I pointed at Damian with my fingertips and asked Evangeline.

“Since when have you been like that?”

“It’s been like that ever since the last defense.”

Evangeline shook her head.

“Anyway, I thought that horse gun was the cause, so I tried to take it away somehow. Even if I die, I will not let go.”

The Black Queen seems to have caused trouble. A black aura spread from the horse gun’s magic core covers Damian.

The words I heard from Kelly Bay, the magic blacksmith, flashed through my mind.

– The more you kill something with the Nightmare Slayer, the more the nightmare sleeping in that weapon awakens.

I quickly opened the party menu in the system window and checked the status of Damian’s equipment.

[Black Queen Swallowed by Nightmare (SSR) Lv.55]

– Classification: horse gun

– Attack power: 225-250

– Durability: 7/7

– Magazine capacity: 7/7

– Shoots a cursed bullet to instantly kill the enemy with a certain probability. Probability increases with weapon proficiency.

<By achieving the kill count, Nightmare Commander – ‘Black Spider Queen Orlop’ trait unlocked!>

– Orlop’s Rage: Bullets become stronger as the magazine becomes empty. The last, seventh bullet deals twice as much damage as the first, and is guaranteed to critically hit.

– Orlop’s Hunger: The user is consumed by nightmares, revealing their inner darkness. The darkness dissipates when the user wins the battle for supremacy with the nightmare. If defeated, you will be completely consumed by darkness.

After all the kill count was filled, the Nightmare Corps Leader trait was unlocked. There was also a strange prefix attached to the equipment name.

After reading all the explanations, I looked at Damian in disbelief.

‘So that’s… … Darkness inside Damian?’

Is the darkness in Damian’s heart a bluff?

‘It’s a bit dark… … Isn’t it cute… … ?’

Anyway, the extra damage option is great, but other items are a problem.

A battle for supremacy with a nightmare? What would happen if Damian were to lose the battle for supremacy with Nightmare?

‘I can’t lose Damian because of just one piece of equipment.’

Once you unequip the Black Queen, things should be a little better. I approached Damian to steal the Black Queen.

chuck!

Then Damian stretched out his left hand and spread it out to me.

“Please trust me, Prince.”

With his right arm holding the horse gun hanging down, Damian muttered in a troubled voice.

“I need the ability of this magic gun.”

“… … .”

“Please trust me. I will definitely subdue this darkness and make it with my own power.”

Among the messy brown curls.

Damien’s round brown eyes – the clairvoyant who saved this monster front from game over several times – were shining brightly as usual.

Even though he was engulfed in nightmares and suddenly showing symptoms of severe second illness, he was undoubtedly my trigger Damian.

So I decided to believe. That Damian would be able to win the battle for supremacy with Nightmare on his own.

“Believe me, Damian.”

“Please leave it to me. Kkeuk… … .”

I wish I could fix that smile… … .

‘Let’s watch it for now, and if the condition gets worse, let’s take the whole horse gun.’

Anyway, here it is. Junior, who eats healthy food without rest, and Damian, who giggles while holding a horse gun, join them.

“Certainly, both of you are in very bad shape.”

As I clicked my tongue, Evangeline whispered with a pale face.

“Compared to the last one, these two are nobles.”

“ah… … That kind of man… … ?”

“Uncle Lucas is really… … that… … . Boy, I can’t explain it in words. Anyway, should I say that he has definitely left?”

Evangeline, who sighed as she put her forehead on her forehead, pointed to one side of the village with her hand.

“Oh, there it is! See for yourself!”

i saw that

puck! f*ck!

“Heheh?!”

“Aagh!”

In the shadows of the night, someone of great stature swung his fist like a beast, and two bandits rushing to him collapsed with their shattered weapons.

Kreur… … .

A low, animal-like cry rang through the darkness of the late night.

Through the disheveled blond hair, the blue eyes flashed like flames in the dark, and slowly walked out of the shadows.

‘A wolf?’

No, no. That… … .

“… … Lucas?”

Like an animal, he lowered his stance and swept white breath through his open fangs.

Staggering precariously, Lucas stepped out into the moonlight.

[Beast Painting].

My knight, who strayed from the human path because of his longing for power, was there.

***

“I came right to the site where you were kidnapped, but it was night in the mountains, so tracking was difficult.”

Evangeline let out a sigh as she looked at Lucas, who was growling with his fangs exposed.

I guess so. Classes such as thieves and hunters specialize in tracking, but it is not suitable for our party members.

It might be okay because Damian has bright eyes, but he’s in that condition too… … .

“I was going to wait until daytime and track it down, but they said it would be too late… … Uncle Lucas put himself into that wolf state.”

Did you use [Beast Mode] to track me down with the feeling of getting closer to a beast?

As a result, the beastization went too far… … You’ve become ferocious like a wolf like this?

“Lucas.”

To calm down, I stepped forward.

“It’s me, Ash.”

“… … .”

“Can you recognize me? huh? Are you fine?”

Beastization is largely divided into three stages.

Level 1. The power of the beast begins to dwell in the human body. As a human, it is a relatively normal step to use the power of the beast as a tool.

Step 2. The beast begins to devour the accident. He loses his ability to speak, and acts like a half-animal.

Still, the ego as a human remains, but the boundaries are blurring.

Step 3. It completely becomes a beast. He loses his sense as a human being and normal thinking, and becomes a monster who longs for violence.

‘It seems that the first stage has passed, and there is no way to return to the third stage.’

However, at level 2, it can still be reversed.

I sighed and approached Lucas. Please, Lucas! get to know me!

“Your lord is back, Lucas! Buy it and be fine!”

“… … Kreur… … .”

But Lucas still moaned like a wolf and approached me menacingly.

Nervous Evangeline raised her shield, and Junior and Damian also grabbed their respective weapons.

In an instant, the distance between Lucas and me grew closer.

Lucas strode towards me, staring at me with blue eyes, but I didn’t back down and stayed still.

tall.

Lucas stopped right in front of me.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Silence passed.

Lucas and I looked at each other quietly. The other party members strained their bodies so that they could step out at any time.

and,

dump.

Lucas got down on one knee in front of me.

The blue eyes, which had been burning fiercely, suddenly became soft. Lucas smiled like a big dog, then slowly lowered his head.

Even while reason is turning into a beast, it is still recognizing me.

“Hi and… … .”

I let out a sigh of relief.

“A beast is a beast, but it’s my dog, not yet.”

I unknowingly tousled Lucas’ blonde hair like a big dog. Lucas stayed calm. right right right

Evangeline, who was watching from the side, muttered in amazement.

“I literally became a loyal dog… … .”

Quiet. It’s not for sick people.

Anyway, I’m still figuring it out.

If I leave it like this, it will become a real dog and I will have to scratch its stomach and play catch, so let’s turn it back into a human before that.

I pointed my hand at Lucas’ waist.

“Catch the karma eater.”

Lucas nodded broadly and politely drew out his longsword and handed it to me. no, don’t give me… … . I put it back into Lucas’ hands.

“Activate the sword skill!”

Then, sword spirit suddenly rose from the tip of the longsword Lucas held.

[Karma Eater] is a weapon that generates sword energy by consuming propensity values. [Beast Transformation] The figures can also be used as fuel.

After burning his sword for about 10 minutes, Lucas suddenly came to his senses with a gasp.

“Huh! Lord?! You’re all right!”

“You are not safe! You big dog!”

“I am very fortunate, lord! how worried i was… … .”

“Listen to people!”

Glad you rooted Karma Eater! Otherwise, I would have lived as a dog for the rest of my life! I lightly placed honey chestnuts on Lucas’s head.

“I told you not to use beast shoes carelessly, you bastard!”

“I’m sorry. When I heard the news that my lord was kidnapped, I lost my temper… … .”

Lucas sighed and shook his head. Even so, he showed his teeth and grinned.

“I’m so glad you’re safe, lord.”

“… … .”

I let out a deep sigh.

How can I rebuke you more? This stupid article that even burns its own humanity for my sake.

“Don’t do that in the future. really.”

“I will take heed, lord.”

Anyway, Lucas has found reason, but his beast transformation has not yet been released.

Still squatting in a hunched posture, the two blue eyes are brutal like a wolf when not looking at me.

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the mess of the main party that had finally joined.

“I thought I’d been away for a little over a month, and everyone would lose their minds as a group like this.”

I tapped the shoulder of Evangeline, who was the only one in normal condition.

“Evangeline, you managed to stay awake and hold on.”

“Hehe. Who am I? Heir to the Marquis, the last line of defense here to protect the Crossroads! It’s Evangeline Cross. Of course it’s crazy! I was holding on to it.”

“It’s just you, really. hey! All of you imitate Evangeline! They all say they are older sisters than him.”

However, there was something strange about the other party members who heard that. Everyone has an expression of regret.

After clearing the tomato juice bottle, Junior said a word.

“Actually, Lady Evangeline is the most distracted… … .”

“Kuhm! Hehehehe! Come on, this story ends here! Hurry up and clean up this place!”

Evangeline, evasive in a hurry, glanced around.

“It’s a lot here, isn’t it? You never know where another enemy will pop up!”

Tadada dat!

As soon as I finished my words, the bandits ran over the roof of the village and fell towards us.

At the forefront of this was the bandit king Quylan, a giant with red braids like flames.

“Huh-!”

Quylan soared through the air with a light motion that was unbelievable that he had come out of that gigantic body, and delivered a flying kick with a smooth motion.

“Serious!”

Lucas ran into him and hit Karma Eater.

Chaeeng!

The longsword touched the toe, and a metallic sound rang out.

Quylan wore metal gauntlets and boots on both arms and legs.

The bandit king flamboyantly swung his metal fists and feet studded with gongs and spikes in all directions.

visor! visor! Chae Chae Chae!

In an instant, Lucas and Quylan split a dozen sums and backed off.

“I never thought that the pursuit team would be attached in one night. Should I also tell the prince? Or should I say I was clumsy?”

Quylan smiled bitterly and straightened his posture. His men also fixed their weapons.

I crossed my arms and smiled.

“These friends are my personal royal family. You could call it the most elite dream team I picked and picked. Of course, if I’m in danger, you’ll come running right away?”

“Dream Team… … .”

A sorcerer who complains that he is full while chewing spinach, a sniper who grabs his right arm and shouts ‘Stay still!’, a knight who lands on the ground with two arms and two legs like a beast… … .

… … Quylan looked at them one by one and tilted his head.

“For a dream team… … I think it’s a bit spoiled… … ?”

“Watch your words, you son of a bitch!”

How bad! You speak harshly! Although our kids are in a bit of a mess!

Quylan pointed his hand at the four bandits standing behind him.

“These are the friends I picked and picked. Even when they were chased by the Imperial Army Heavy Knights last year, these guys fought on an equal footing.”

So, it’s a 5 vs 5 party PVP situation.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you go here, Your Highness the Prince. I need your ransom. You have to be kidnapped again quietly.”

Bang the gauntlet in front of the chest! Crashing Quylan.

Lucas growled as he glared at him.

“Shall I kill you, lord?”

“uh? No, what are you talking about?”

I grinned and looked over at Quylan and his party.

“We should kidnap them.”

That bandit king, SR-rank character? All of the party members under your command will be at least R-ranked, right?

‘I have to drag it to the crossroads!’

i told you before As long as you kill the monster well, you’ll be more than willing to take him away, whether it’s a ghost, a demon, or a zombie. If it’s a bandit, it’s good enough.

Hey, you’re mine too! Caught quietly!
