I became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 307

◈ 307. [Free Exploration] Farming in between (4)

Originally, this boss monster had various gimmicks.

In connection with the alchemy experiment device installed in the boss room, there were also patterns to amplify magic or summon test subjects.

But there was no time and no reason to watch.

We poured our firepower at once, and the boss monster couldn’t hold out for long and stretched out in an overwhelming baptism of daggers.

“As expected, who is the best?”

I nodded my head as I looked at the boss mob that fell miserably along with the exhausted HP bar.

Then Junior, who was standing next to me, murmured sadly.

“… … It’s been a while since I thought I’d show off my skills… … .”

It seems that he was looking forward to meeting a high-level wizard enemy.

Magic battles between high-level wizards would have been fun to watch. I’ve said it over and over again, but now it’s time attack! I don’t have time for that!

“With the lives of non-citizens… … If this experiment is successful… … .》

A mumbling sound leaked from the fallen boss monster- Lab Director Dilandahi’s mouth.

《To the Magic Tower… … I put up my thesis, and I get recognized… … A new guardian tree… … synthesis… … .》

“Oh, get out of here quickly! I have to root the tem and go back!”

1 minute 1 second is a waste! I hit the boss mob without hesitation. The troll-sorcerer collapsed with a final breath.

T-ring!

The dungeon clear judgment came up, and the treasure chest inside the boss room opened. Without looking at what the loot was, I hurriedly stuffed it into my inventory.

‘There’s not much time left!’

[Emergency Equipment Repair Quest] now has 3 minutes left!

Fortunately, I gathered all the ingredients. Now just go back and you’re done.

After clearing the dungeon, the safe zone was opened, and the familiar teleport gate was activated and a magic door was created.

I was about to jump into it, but Belldandi hurriedly stopped me.

“Ash! Hey, I have something to tell you!”

“uh?! What?! The business is quick and simple!”

“Here is the dungeon! There are still some monsters left and unexplored areas! Would it be okay if our party looked around a bit more?!”

Belldandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Team looked at me with determined faces and asked.

No, in the first place, aren’t you guys still under my command? You don’t have to ask for permission, you can do whatever you want… … Do you also feel like you have already come under my command?

I waved my hands wildly.

“Okay, then just me and my party back! For the rest, help the Holy Grail Expedition and search the remaining compartments! okay?!”

Belldandy’s face brightened.

“Thank you, Ash!”

“It was nothing! Enough!”

I threw myself into the teleport gate. There is only one minute left. Ah!

Flash-!

***

As soon as I rolled out of the base camp’s teleport gate, I sprinted to Kelly Bay’s forge.

“Kelly Bay! I’m here!”

Inside the smithy, there was more chaos, and the black tentacles overflowed to the point of overflowing. What the hell do I have to do with the equipment to end up like this!

Kelly Bay, who was swinging her hammer to crush her tentacles, looked at me with a smile.

“Did you bring all the ingredients?!”

“take it-!”

I threw out the material bag. Taking it lightly, Chan Kelly Bay smiled, twisting her beard.

“good! They’re all dead now, you tentacle monster!”

Then, I spread the ingredients I had obtained on the table, sprinkled the magic ingredients by type on the hammer, and struck each tentacle.

(※ This is a scene where weapons are smelted in a blacksmith’s shop.) I think I need the same guide… … . Wherever you look, this is how you smelt your equipment.

“Huh~?”

At that time, Evangeline, who came behind me and watched the scene with me, asked in a gloomy voice.

“Seniors. Maybe that tentacle ball… … It’s not our family’s equipment… … ?”

“Ah, ah, no, man! That, that, could that be?!”

Are you shaking me?

“Whoops… … Yes? It can’t be. Whoops… … .”

Gleaming with her big green eyes, Evangeline drew out her own bone spear, then stuck out her little tongue and licked the blade.

“If at least one of these happened… … Because I think I’m going to be a little disappointed with you. Whoop whoop.”

“Hee hee hee hee!”

Fortunately, Kelly Bay’s emergency equipment repairs worked.

Every time the hammer that was imbued with magic light was struck, the wriggling tentacles shrank and melted into the equipment and disappeared.

When the energy of the black tentacles went away, only then could the beautifully reforged spear and shield be seen.

It used to be old, rusty, and faded equipment that had been patched up with other metal plates to cover the damage from the battle.

At Kelly Bay’s fingertips, the two heirlooms of the Cross family were restored to their original form. It was a beautiful figure with gold ornaments on a white background.

“Whoa!”

When the sweat-stained Kelly Bay sighed and put down the hammer, the Cross family’s spear and shield were in perfect condition.

Kelly Bay, who put down her welding mask and threw off her gloves, gestured.

“finished. Check it.”

Evangeline had had the face of a highwayman with a savage tongue flicking a moment ago, but now she looked like a child with a Christmas present.

Evangeline, who approached the table with her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open, exclaimed.

“oh my god.”

Evangeline carefully swiped the spear and shield with her fingertips. Kelly Bay let out her wild laugh.

“How is it, do you like it?”

“To the extent that I would have kissed the dwarf grandfather if he were 50 years younger, not bald, and had no beard. I like it.”

Kelly Bay narrowed her brows and looked at me.

“… … Are you just insulting me?”

“I think he said it was a compliment.”

Fortunately, Evangeline seemed to like it. Evangeline, her eyes twinkling, slowly put her gear on her arms.

“Interesting… … The appearance is completely different, but the weight and balance are the same!”

“of course. Because the essence hasn’t changed. Everything else has been upgraded.”

The spear and shield were studded with red and blue jewels, which were not there before. Evangeline looked at the jewels and was puzzled.

“Hey, what is this?”

“Those are the things I struggled with this time… … .”

At the same time as Kelly Bay lamented softly, the two jewels emitted magic light… … .

“Wow?!”

Fairies with butterfly wings rose one by one from their jewels. Surprised Evangeline opened her mouth.

“I hope this… … government ordinance?”

In the cavalry spear held in Evangeline’s right hand, the flame spirit spun along the conical spear blade.

The ice spirit smiled and slid down the metal side of the shield held in his left hand.

I was also surprised and spit it out.

“A spirit weapon?!”

Spirit grant is the highest option among all equipment enchantments! I only ate a few of the things that were very lucky to drop in the game.

“Could it be that Kellibey, you can arbitrarily endow equipment with spirits?”

Yo-yo cute blacksmith! You have a lot of talent!

When I asked with delight, Kelly Bay gave a sideways chin.

“It’s not mine, it’s Hannibal’s work.”

Then, from the workshop inside the smithy, a shaggy-haired boy walked out hesitantly.

It was Hannibal, an N-rank mercenary whom I had previously hired and attached to Kelly Bay as an assistant.

“Hannibal is an elementalist. I was able to communicate with the spirits.”

“A Elementalist? I thought it was a long-lost job… … .”

In the game, it only exists in the setting, and it is a job group that has never been hired.

‘They said they were hiding something, so that must have been the talent of spiritism.’

Everyone was surprised to see it, and Hannibal bowed his head.

“Sorry, sorry… … ! I thought it would be better if I let the spirit dwell in it, so I tried to enchant it on my own, and this situation… … .”

According to Hannibal’s explanation.

Evangeline’s equipment had such high potential that she tried to make it better by enclosing it with a spirit, but the spirit went out of control and caused the black tentacle avalanche this time.

‘… … So, are the tentacles wriggling just now the same as those spirits?’

I stared at the spirits of fire and ice with whom Evangeline was giggling. Ugh.

“I’m really sorry. I will not do anything beyond this topic in the future… … .”

Hannibal, who was in tears, said while sniffling. I squatted down in front of Hannibal and gently held his shoulders.

“What are you talking about, Hannibal? Thanks to you, such wonderful equipment was made.”

“Wow, Your Highness the Prince… … .”

“It’s okay to fail. So keep trying and don’t give up.”

How expensive is the elemental weapon… … It’s a nice piece of equipment!

It means you can keep making it! You can explode as much equipment as you want, so don’t give up, money! Oh no Hannibal!

Anyway, Evangeline’s exclusive weapon that has been completed up to the highest enchantment, ‘Give Spirit’, is as follows.

[Cross Family Spear Change – Ifrit Edition (SSR) Lv.75]

[Cross Family Shield Change – Glacier Edition (SSR) Lv.75]

Gae (改) is a word that means upgrade.

When attached to a dedicated weapon, it means that it is demonstrating its original performance.

And the ‘edition’ at the end is a modifier that only applies to spirit weapons. It indicates what kind of spirit dwells.

Ifrit, the spirit of flame, was attached to the spear, and Glacier, the spirit of ice, was attached to the shield.

“At first, the spirits won’t listen to you, but as you become more familiar with them and become skilled in handling them, they will be of great help to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Evangeline screaming as she was being bitten from both sides by the two spirits… … Grow strong, Evangeline.

Anyway, this is the performance of the enchantment. The original performance of dedicated equipment is different.

A typical example is the constant activation of the exclusive attribute [Crossroad].

[Crossroad] <‘Evangeline Cross’ Exclusive Attribute>

– Characteristics that bloomed as a result of the accumulated karma of the Cross family, which had been killing monsters and protecting people.

– In any combat environment, you can identify the optimal movement line and move as it is.

– When activated, MP is continuously consumed.

A trait close to intuition or sixth sense, [Crossroad].

Originally, this attribute was a toggle-type attribute that was turned on only when Evangeline was concentrating, since it continuously consumes mana when turned on.

With the upgraded exclusive equipment, it can be activated at all times without consuming magical power.

Now, Evangeline will not allow the enemy to surprise her, and will always be able to take the optimal move.

Here, the special function [Booster] can be used.

Tuhak-!

As Evangeline vigorously held out her spear, sparks of magical power soared from the guard of the cavalry spear to the rear.

At the same time that the spear that had accelerated at once pierced the air and was thrown out—

Chew!

Reverse injection of magic flames from the tip of the spear.

The spear, which had been hurled at breakneck speed, stopped in midair. Evangeline exclaimed.

“Wow, what! awesome! Can I control all acceleration and deceleration?”

Same with spears and shields. You can accelerate or decelerate your movement by spewing magical sparks in the desired direction.

Powerful stats here.

The most powerful equipment we have obtained so far was the equipment called [Nightmare Slayer].

Equipment made by defeating the Nightmare Corps commanders and using their magic cores.

Damian’s [Black Queen]. Junior’s [Lord of Crimson]. Quylan’s [Full Moonlight Slayer].

The dedicated equipment that has been upgraded has performance equivalent to that of this Nightmare Slayer. It’s actually a closing device, so I’m done talking.

‘… … The Black Queen is a bit out of the norm, though.’

That’s because the user overlapped with the non-standard. Anyway, it’s all the ending equipment line.

“Um… … umm… … !”

Evangeline, who put down her equipment, put her chin on her chin and pondered seriously, then looked at Kelly Bay and Hannibal and asked.

“Shall I kiss you too?”

Embarrassed, Hannibal hid behind Kelly Bay, and Kelly Bay waved her hand.

“It’s okay, little child… … An old, bald, bearded dwarf doesn’t need that. If you want to do it, ask your commanders.”

Then Evangeline glanced back at me and spread her arms wide.

“great! It’s a mood! Senior, come on!”

“Don’t take only your heart, only your heart… … .”

“Oh, there is no second chance like this?”

Even if you give it three times, it’s a specification, you bastard.

Evangeline playfully pursed her lips and groaned. Shaking my head and ignoring it, I nodded at Lucas.

“Did you see it, Lucas? The power of upgrade-only equipment is so great. I’ll be repairing your [sword given to you] next time, so don’t forget to pack it.”

“… … .”

Lucas laughed bitterly with a troubled face for some reason, then nodded slowly.

“Yes, lord. I will have it ready.”

“… … ?”

I tilted my head.

Why does this guy seem to be embarrassed when the [Granted Sword] is mentioned?

‘After the upgrade, it’s one of the strongest equipment in this world.’

Didn’t you lose it or get f*cked up? huh?
