I became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 392

◈ 392. [Side Story] Sleeping with the enemy (3)

After defeating all the frost giants.

“f*ck tea.”

After getting a bag or clothes that can be used in the collapsed palace.

Without regret, he headed for the darkness beyond the Lake Kingdom without looking back, but Salome frightened and followed him from behind.

“Wait, where are you going?!”

“Where are you going? I have to go home.”

It’s a long way, though. So, we must leave soon. Our children are waiting for you, Lord.

Then Salome pointed at herself with her index finger.

《What about me?!》

“No, why don’t you sleep… … .”

Now, everyone should live well on their own, right? Please pray for a rebirth in paradise.

When I waved my hand, Salome whined with a tear-stained face.

“He said he would ally with me!”

“That just ended.”

You finished off a common enemy a moment ago.

At least for a while, I don’t kill and retreat because I see the allies. be grateful

I waved my hand once more and turned around coolly, and Salome grabbed me by the waist and laid me down on the floor. Hey what are you doing!

“Are you just using me and trying to suck the sweet water out and throw it away?!”

“Don’t make a strict person a bad man… … .”

《Hit every day! speak harshly! Make me stay up all night in tears! But I love you… … !》

“Don’t even drift with cheap popular drama! Let go, let go!”

After ruthlessly shaking off Salome’s arm, I walked forward.

When Salome’s pleading for tears didn’t work, she just started following me.

“Are you going to go out there by yourself? This is the deepest part of the Lake Kingdom? Monsters are everywhere?”

“I hate to say this with my own mouth, but I didn’t eat jjambab in vain… … I can get through it without worrying about you.”

It’s true that it’s a dangerous place, but it’s a place I’ve come and gone to get tired of playing games.

As long as I’ve verified that my skills can be used, the means to use them are secured.

‘I feel comfortable moving alone.’

Salome has several problems to act with.

First of all, it is now being targeted by another monster army. If there’s an army of monsters attacking this guy as a target, there’s a chance that I’ll get caught up in it too.

Second, the mere existence itself is too conspicuous. Just look at the pink shadow popping out like a baby poodle. It deserves attention in many ways.

It doesn’t match my tendency to quietly get out of the dungeon.

Finally, the biggest problem.

‘How can I trust the monster?’

You saved me from the other side of the other side, and you’re fawning over me, but you don’t know when you’ll hit me in the back.

Her essence is a dream that seduces and destroys opponents. She is unreliable even on empty words.

“Me, me! I’ll listen to you!”

Salome hurriedly packed some things herself, and followed behind me pleadingly.

“Then can’t we stay together a little longer? huh?”

“… … .”

《I will fully cooperate until you get out of the dungeon! I’ll move well as you tell me!

“… … .”

“Maybe we’ll get along well?! Even in the previous battle, the sum was pretty good! A mind-controlling couple who can defeat all monsters they encounter! how is it?”

Not a couple, but a duo.

It’s annoying to refute one by one. I sighed and waved my hands.

“Then prove it.”

“proof?”

“Be gentle with my mental control. Then let me go with you.”

If I make Salome my capture monster with [Become mine!], there will be a safety device called ‘absolute command’.

There is no reason not to take it. Anyway, the Nightmare Corps commander is a mighty hand.

However, there is no way that the arrogant nightmare corps commander voluntarily accepts the offer to become a human slave… … .

“good! good good good good good! hurry! Hurry up and walk!”

“… … .”

“Is it okay to disarm the mental barrier? Alright, now solved! Capture me now!”

… … Is this kid serious?

I was stunned and looked at Salome, then I used the [Evil Eye of Command] and [Be mine!] combo in succession. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but what.

“Be mine!”

“yes! I will!”

It’s a skill starter, so you don’t have to answer!

And Salome really calmly took on both skills.

As a mental body, a dreamer, especially as a corps commander, her magical stats aren’t usually high, and there’s no way I could get them with normal methods.

Voluntarily mid-open… … it throws the game away

Charleureuk!

Okay!

A figure resembling a dog collar appeared out of the air and restrained Salome’s neck. Salome cackled and tapped the dog’s collar with her fingertips.

“It was like this! Oh my gosh, tell me! I would have guessed everything!”

“You’re such an idiot, you… … .”

The system window is still dead, so there’s no way to determine how many loyalties this guy has.

It would be comfortable to think of it as 0, as other nightmare corps commanders have done in the meantime. Even if there is ‘absolute command’, let’s not let go of tension.

“Hehehe. Can we go together now?”

Laughing like an idiot, Salome came and stood next to me.

“… … .”

Don’t look like a rookie at a daycare school going on a picnic for the first time in your life… … Turning my head, I clicked my tongue.

***

Leaving behind the collapsed Succubus Queen’s palace, we came out to the streets of the Lake Kingdom.

The deepest part of Area 10 is the very center of the Lake Kingdom.

It is the tallest and busiest skyscraper complex.

‘Ugh.’

As soon as I came out into the street, I saw a towering spire not far away.

A splendid and opaque castle of darkness constantly spewing pitch-black fog.

The king of the lake kingdom.

It must have once been the home of the country’s royalty and the ruling power of this great city-state.

Now, wrapped in complete darkness, it emits suffocating malice.

Demon King – To monsters, my adversary, called the King of Kings, will be there.

“… … .”

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I saw this castle.

Was it before stage 3 started? When Evangeline first joins the party and Jupiter is still alive.

I looked at this place while looking at the entire city from the top of the castle wall of the Lake Kingdom.

It was so far away that I doubted when I would be able to reach it. Whatever the process, it has come to the fore.

After staring at the castle for a moment, I turned my head away. Now, it is a place that cannot be cleared anyway.

But next time.

be sure to break it down my grandson

《Would you like to meet King Wangjung while you are here?》

“Stop talking crazy!”

I fired at Salome, who asked with a fierce face without notice, and quickly accelerated my steps.

If you go there, you’ll be in worse shape than dying!

“it’s a shame. The King of Kings is a good person… … .》

Salome looked back at the castle and murmured. Every time like this, I feel keenly that you are a monster… … .

“You understand, Salome? Since we are moving together, we need more people.”

Walking ahead, I said.

It’s not that I’m moving alone, but I’ve received party members anyway, so it’s better to have more people.

“If possible, I’d like a strong friend to take over the front line.”

“hmm… … But I like that it’s just the two of us.”

“We are out of balance, out of balance.”

“Oh, that can’t be! Our love luck is sure to go well with each other!”

“No, nothing like that… … In a combative way.”

Of course, Salome and I will have the worst love luck, but the battle balance is also bad.

Both are rear mage positions that apply mind control status abnormalities to enemies. that the ranges overlap with each other.

It would be better to consider the combination a little more from the next person to join.

“If you see a usable avant-garde character, you’ll immediately be charmed… … .”

water.

what.

I think I stepped on something.

After I finished talking, I looked down curiously, and immediately panicked.

There was a huge fountain plaza in the center of District 10, and it was connected to the long stairway leading to the royal castle.

Under that stairway… … A grotesque beast had fallen.

It was a hybrid beast with a form close to a chimera, a mixture of all forms of beasts.

He was crouching at the foot of the stairs, covered in blood, with his whole body crushed and weakly breathing. Frightened, I stepped back.

“What, what a surprise! Why is this stuff stuck here!”

is not it? It’s the deepest part of the dungeon, is there anything strange about rolling around with a bunch of monster corpses?

I wanted to, but Salome also tilted her head.

《That’s strange. This is the realm of the kingdom. It means the king’s domain. So, it’s a place that the demon guards keep clean… … .》

Salome’s eyes widened as she raised her head and looked around.

“Oh my God, what is this again?”

I saw that too. And found it too late.

On the stairs leading to the castle, the devil’s guard and other demonic soldiers lay terribly torn apart.

And bloodstains continued from the corpses of the devil soldiers to this hybrid beast.

《This beast, your hands and feet are handcuffed.》

Salome, looking at the condition of the fallen beast, looked at me.

《Looking at the circumstances, he was captured and dragged away by the demon guards… … I think he tried to escape by beating the guards to death.”

“But the injuries you received while fighting the guards were so great that you couldn’t go far and fell here?”

“huh. Probably so.”

I crouched beside Salome and looked at the beast.

“… … hmm?”

I blinked.

the face of this beast. how familiar

I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere… … place… … .

“… … Mason?”

Suddenly, that name came out of my mouth.

Mason.

The leader of Team 1 of the Aegis Task Force that attacked Crossroads and kidnapped me during Stage 14.

The old Gasol of Lucas, I thought he was killed by Lucas’s sword, but he survived his injuries using beast shoes and hid in the dungeon… … .

– As human representatives sent by His Highness Fernandez, who will become the next Emperor of the Empire, we have been dispatched here to personally meet the ‘Demon Lord’, the ruler of monsters.

The child who went alone into the darkness to have an audience with the demon king.

At first I thought it was an illusion, but I was sure. A vaguely human face remained on the hideous, heteromorphic beast, and above all.

《Ash, Prince, Your Highness… … ?》

When I called Mason, he opened his eyes dimly, looked at me, and called my name.

“Here, how… … ?》

“I will say it, you bastard.”

This bastard must have gone into the dungeon at the base camp then.

How did you get here… … Did you get to the deepest district 10?

Mason opened his mouth with a face similar to that of a bear, and spoke in a laughing voice.

“It’s been quite a while, nice to meet you… … .》

“… … ?”

Long time no see? is it?

Well, some time has passed since the raid by the task force.

“It’s better. To be killed by monsters… … I’d rather die at the hands of Your Highness.”

Mason slowly closed his eyes.

“I have completed my mission… … Now, I have no regrets… … Please kill me.”

“What are you talking about? You can’t die comfortably, you bastard.”

Grinding my teeth, I glanced at Salome.

“Salome.”

“huh!”

“Enchant this child. I will take you.”

“okay! Come on, ‘go to sleep’!

Mason was easily enthralled as Salome held out her hand and emitted a pink air current.

With blurry eyes, Mason slowly rose from his seat. Blood dripped from his entire body.

“good. move It stands out too much here.”

“hmm… … Are you okay? This gomtang’s injury is serious. If you do not give first aid, you may die soon.”

“You are hiding. That’s enough.”

At that time, even though Lucas’s sword cut his body in half, Mason did not die and dug into this place. An injury like that will endure.

‘I’ll find out exactly what they did here, and use it as a meat shield until the end, then throw it away.’

So the three of us began to walk stealthily through the darkened streets, looking for a suitable hiding place.

I walked in front and then looked back and involuntarily clicked my tongue.

‘… … It’s a spectacle like a party.’

human.

monster.

And a beast that is neither human nor monster.

The three of them, who don’t match at all, are clinging to each other and wandering in the dark together.

‘This is the path of animals… … .’

I suddenly missed Crossroads.

I want to go back and see my kids… … .
