◈ 507. [STAGE 24] White Night
“Because the road the lord is walking right now leads to the true ending.”
At Ader’s words, I raised my eyes.
the way i’m walking what is that?
i just… … You’re just struggling desperately.
But Ader nodded confidently.
“Although the road bends and sometimes turns a long way… There is no doubt that the goal the lord is looking at.”
“… .”
“So don’t worry. You can continue to do as you do now.”
I wanted to ask a specific way, but Ader deliberately backtracked as if it shouldn’t be that way.
Just keep moving forward as I have done so far.
“There will be a lot of agony, a lot of pain, a lot of pain in the future, but… If you are the lord, you will do just as well as you have done so far.”
In front of me who was silent, Ader smiled as casually as usual.
“Please this world and Nameless… Please take care of me.”
***
And Ader is gone again… … did not lose
Now, having set the mood as if he were going to disappear forever, he settled back in his room in the manor house. What are you doing, son of a bitch?
He said that he was not feeling well, and officially submitted his resignation to the position of Yeongju’s aide. However, I did not make repairs and only accepted my resignation.
“Take a break and help again when you feel better. Anyway, you are the director. There will be times when I need help.”
Ader just laughed without saying anything, but I wanted him to stay by my side.
Few beings know that I am a soul sewn together like this.
Few beings know all the mysteries of the system and other worlds.
This mysterious director will definitely be needed on my journey someday. If possible, don’t go missing in the future and stay stuck here.
Serenade has been handling most of the administrative work while this guy was gone.
At this point, let’s formally ask for a serenade.
“… .”
I let out a light sigh as I watched Ader go back to his room.
These days, I’ve been tired because I’ve been listening to too abstract stories.
‘Divinity, the darkness of the other world, the true ending… … .’
What the hell is that, you motherfuckers! Can’t you tell me a concrete reality story that will catch you if you reach out your hand?
I just want to embrace the people around me and live together while guarding the crossroads here.
– So don’t worry. You can continue to do as you do now.
… okay.
In that sense, Ader’s words are a bit helpful. I caught my breath.
as you have done so far.
kill the monster save people
by all available means.
Then you will know. The trivial back stories and the identity of the true ending.
I don’t avert my eyes and just look straight ahead and walk.
“Seniors! Bake me just one more!”
“May I ask too, sir?”
The pigs who had eaten their third piece of toast in the meantime asked me with grunts. I sighed and entered the kitchen.
“I get fat. Eat one more and go to bed.”
I stopped laughing while watching the two pig knights answer with a yes.
Let’s do what we do. with my people.
Even the third year of war. Continue.
Suddenly, outside the window I looked out, snow was pouring.
It was a complete winter.
***
A few days later.
Stage 24. The day of the defense battle.
My soldiers, dressed in cold-weather coats, lined up tightly on top of the snow-dusted castle walls.
The army, dressed in black coats with thick fur and leather, was a spectacle in itself.
I spit out white breath and looked back at the soldiers, then swung my hand away from the snow that had accumulated on my shoulder.
Currently, Crossroads is fully prepared for defensive warfare.
The corps commander, Baekya, boasted that he would take care of the rogue corps with his own hands, but he is also a monster. There was no reason to trust.
The anti-aircraft fire network was faithfully equipped in case the Gozo Corps attacked as planned.
The soldiers were also clearly trained in the relevant tactics. Even if the Midnight Sun doesn’t keep its promise, there’s no big problem with the defense.
However, it is difficult to predict the extent of the damage.
On average, when dealing with an army of flying monsters, normal troops take a lot of damage. More than anything.
“It’s a night raid… … .”
The current time is night.
I’ve lit bonfires everywhere and installed lighting artifacts to improve my visibility, but it’s a pitch-black winter night anyway.
A few hours left before dawn.
In this situation, if the rogue corps attacked, the heroes would not know, but the ordinary soldiers would suffer considerable damage.
‘I had to fix the invasion time with a dark event… … .’
The opponent hit the player.
This side used [Goddess Blessing] to make sure that the invasion begins in the middle of the night, so that the invasion time cannot be adjusted – ‘Night Raid’.
After a lot of thought, the [Goddess Blessing] I used is ‘Night Snow’.
It is an extension and correction of night sight range for all allies. Even if not as much as broad daylight, it would be possible to intercept at a distance.
‘I wish I had moonlight.’
Unfortunately, today is the end of the day.
Besides, it is cloudy and snowy weather. It is difficult to expect starlight, let alone moonlight.
Quite a classic is expected. I swallowed dry saliva and glared at the unseen southern sky.
“Lord! A report from the skirmishers!”
Lucas shouted, wearing Bone Armor over his coat.
At first, the Bone Armor was awkward, but now Lucas was willing to wear it.
It seemed that the shape of the equipment did not matter in order to lead the war even slightly more advantageously, as it was proven to be a counter-equipment against the rogue army.
“The first wave of the rogue corps is said to have crossed over the southern forest. You will be in sight soon!”
“good. All troops ready to launch!”
At my command, the artillerymen loaded their cannons and ballistas in unison, and glowing light artifacts illuminated the sky like searchlights.
The firing lines of the artillerymen had already been pointed towards the sky.
If the monsters came within range, even the sky could be melted with this fire net.
And
Kieeeeeeeek-!
A hideous scream rang out. It was a high, piercing scream that made my bones tingle just by hearing it.
Along with that scream, in the sky in the snow dust covered in darkness… … The shape of a huge bird appeared.
far and dark At best, all you can see is a blurry silhouette.
Nevertheless, all the soldiers swallowed dry saliva at the sight of that hideous shape.
There are 12 wings on the left side that sprout and flutter freely. Chapter 3 on the right.
Its legs are single-legged, and its protruding claws swing like the tip of a huge spear.
and head.
A total of five heads with sharp, forked beaks that emit red eyes as if exploded by bombs.
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The five heads opened their beaks at the same time and let out another scream.
Thanks to the earplugs that were given to everyone in advance to prevent cold weather and sonic attacks, there was no damage, but it was terrible.
“Wherever you look at that, it’s a bird. It’s just a dragonfly… .”
I grumbled and glared at the corps commander’s monster.
monster king.
It is a mighty individual worthy of a monster with the word ‘king’ attached to its name. About half of the total power of the rogue corps is occupied by this guy.
While the general soldiers spread their fire nets to block the rest of the rogue army, the hero parties must mobilize and conduct an air raid.
The huge body of the monster approaching from the darkness was a tremendous threat in itself.
The heroic characters under his command all grabbed their weapons with nervous faces.
Before long, the rogue birds were close to the range of our defenses. I raised my hand and tried to order a shot.
That was the moment.
Fluttering –
There was a sound of fluttering clothes, and then someone came down from the sky higher than the grotesque army and stopped the flying crocodile army from the air.
A face covered with an amulet in a beaded crown. wide application.
Rank 3 Nightmare Corps Commander. It was the white night of the magic king.
“As promised, I’m here to show my sincerity. Player.”
Even though it was far away, his whispering voice rang clearly in my ears.
I hurriedly waved my hands. My soldiers did not fire their cannons and once went into standby.
Keyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Surprised by the sudden appearance of the nightmare corps commander, the king of monsters made a panicked sound. Embarrassment overflowed in the red eyes on his five heads.
Kyaaaaaa-!
As if warning, the Goejo King let out a cry, but Baekya did not budge and stood in front of such a Goejo King.
It took an instant for the emotion in Goejo King’s red eyes to change from embarrassment to anger.
The monster king flapped his wings violently, and the monster army, which had slowed down for a while, shot forward again in unison.
Towards the midnight sun that blocked them, not our side of the castle.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The entire gang of rogue birds flew at full speed, aiming for one point. Then, the white night giggled and laughed.
《I’ll show you.》
The hem of her long sleeves slowly crossed the air-
《Why am I called the Great Emperor of Magic?》
-The snowflakes stopped.
Like a lie, the snowflakes that had been pouring from the sky suddenly stopped. Confused, we both looked up at the sky.
Dark clouds that had filled the sky and poured snow had disappeared before I knew it.
Instead, an alien darkness hung over the place.
sigh sigh… … .
The sound of gnawing insects.
The same darkness that had covered the Lake Kingdom was gathering like a cloud right over the Midnight Sun’s head.
Whoops-
and the clouds started to part.
What was revealed through the parting clouds… … .
“… White?”
Lucas muttered blankly.
“Why is the night sky white… .”
It was something pure white that was revealed through the gradually cracking darkness.
At that moment, I realized what it was.
I immediately shouted at the soldiers.
“Don’t look up at the sky!”
“yes?”
“Everyone bow their heads! You must never look at the sky!”
I had a hunch.
‘That’ is something that no normal human being should see.
The soldiers did not know why, but faithfully bowed their heads in accordance with my orders. Grinding my teeth, I saw the white sky slowly opening.
No – not the sky.
that… It is ‘eye’.
Wow.
A huge eye opened in the darkened sky.
The whites of those eyes were so huge that it gave the illusion that the white sky was opening up.
The red eyes that spun around in the dark settled into the exact center of the white.
《Do a wooden sword.》
He looked up at those eyes from directly below and muttered in a voice that seemed to be enchanted by the midnight sun.
《This is the source of the demons that I have arrived at after studying all my life.》
Kiyaaaaaa!
The monster king did not back down.
He let out a scream desperately and continued to charge toward the white night that was right in front of him.
The only way to stop those unidentified eyes is to defeat the sorcerer in front of him. The monster instinctively noticed.
However, rather than the king of monsters reaching the midnight sun… … It was faster for the eyes of the sky to catch the Goejo King.
The red pupils of the huge eyes stared straight at the monster king, and then
their eyes blinked.
Kwajik-!
The next moment, the king of Goejo’s huge body was crushed to pieces.
It was a single hit.
