◈ 505. [Free Exploration] Kill me (2)
Corps Commander White Night and Magic Tower Master White Night.
The Jiangshi White Night of the material world and the Cyber Richie White Night of the cyber world.
Which side of the two will you take?
This was a branching quest that also occurs in the game. And depending on which one you choose, the subsequent progress will be different.
If you support the corps commander Jiangshi Baekya.
The Lich Corps becomes independent from the Demon King’s forces and becomes hostile to the Demon King as a third force.
The defense battle in which the Midnight Sun and the Lich Corps attack the Crossroads is also skipped.
If you support Mage Tower Cyber Rich White Night.
District 8 Dungeon Mage Tower takes over the area by calling forces and engulfs the entire District 8, and the entire area becomes a friendly area.
In short, if you support Corps Leader Baekya, you can skip defense battles and gain additional benefits in defense battles afterward.
If you support Mage Tower’s White Night, you can skip free exploration in area 8 and gain additional benefits from future free exploration.
Tower Defense or Dungeon Offense? Depending on which side you put weight on, you will choose functionally. Who will make the real midnight sun?
“… .”
but. I know through memory of the game.
Both choices have risks to bear afterwards.
“I want to negotiate with you like this. It’s not yet time for me to go on the march, but I’m here to meet you in advance.”
White Night spoke calmly.
《To tell you in advance, the next opponent you will meet in this invasion is me. At that time, there will be no room for negotiation.”
“Thank you for letting me know.”
Stage 25 The opponent is this magic master.
It’s a fucking boss monster that announces the start of the third year.
“I am a strong player. It may sound conceited, but me and my corps are by no means inferior to the demon guards or the group of black dragons.]
That’s right.
Legion of Lich Wizards who have been there for hundreds of years.
Considering that wizards are strategic weapons comparable to fighters in this world, and considering that these ancient wizards have all the essence of magic that has been lost in modern times.
This legion of undead wizards must have the power to be truly astounding.
“But if you’re that strong, you don’t have to ask me for help, do you? Isn’t it just enough to hit the mage tower with the power of you and your legion and kill the other you?”
“That’s impossible.”
Midnight let out a long sigh mixed with the smell of nicotine and alcohol.
“We know each other too well to kill each other. Because we all know how to use each other.”
The Mage Tower occupied by the Mage Tower Master White Night is a powerful magic fortress.
It is the strongest base in District 8, covered with various magic traps and artifacts.
The reason I was able to clear it easily in the past was because the Magic Tower Master White Night allowed me to enter and exit.
Even the world’s rich army couldn’t penetrate it. Besides, the two white nights must be fully aware of each other’s thoughts.
It was a situation where General Menggun could not kill each other over and over again.
“So I am asking you. If you’ve been killing the other nightmare corps commanders in the meantime, you’ll be able to kill another me.》
“What about the other monster friends?”
“Are you kidding? There’s no way those idiots could kill another me who’s sitting in the Mage Tower, right?”
Baekya snorted, then crossed his legs and gave me a chin.
《The living, breathing variable itself… … You, the Nightmare Killer, are the most likely. That’s why I’m asking you.”
“Thank you for giving me a high rating.”
I grumbled and nodded.
“What if I decline this offer?”
《I’m sure this defense battle will be harsher than you expected right away.》
A bloody smile like a monster caught on the corner of the white night’s mouth.
《Who do you think seduced the Gorgon sisters away in the last defense?》
“… It was you too.”
Gorgon, who invaded Stage 23, said this before dying.
– Midnight to the damn thing… … I was tricked… … . I made my sisters die again… … .
The fact that the Gorgon sisters, who would normally only appear in the third year, appeared earlier… … It was the monster right in front of my eyes.
“Why did you do that?”
The city was hit hard by the three Gorgon sisters, and precious lives had to be lost as well.
When I asked while glaring at him, Baekya smiled and put a cigarette in his mouth.
“It proved my ability by showing it in advance. That if I only use my hands, I can entice the high-ranking monster corps that don’t have a chance to go out first and send them out first.》
“… .”
《So think carefully, player.》
The midnight sun was openly threatening.
《If you refuse my offer, in this invasion, I will entice not only the rogue corps, but also all kinds of other high-level monsters and send them out. Then this winter will be a very terrible season for you guys?”
“… .”
《Even if you endure it, in the next invasion- I will destroy the people himself.
》
It was just quietly making the darkness bloom.
like cigarette smoke. Silently, secretly and fatally, the rising darkness eroded the surroundings.
《But as long as you kill another me.》
“… .”
《You are capable of commanding other monster corps under your command, and you have the means to kill the demon lord… … You can get a powerful lich corps as an ally.]
No need to worry-? Muttered, the white night looked at me with cat-like eyes.
《More than anything else, you can understand us, right?》
“… what?”
“You are not going to fully sympathize with our position. That’s why I approached you.”
The Jiangshi monster’s pale lips parted in a sinister smile.
“You’re fake too. player.”
“… .”
《A fake copy of someone else’s personality.》
I kept my mouth shut and glared at the midnight sun.
… how do you know
That I am a piece of rags covered with a personality from another world… … .
White Night smiled leisurely and smoked a cigarette.
after a moment of silence.
I opened my mouth slowly.
“good. I will do as you say. Instead, there are conditions here too.”
White Night raised her eyebrows as if to say something. I spoke.
“Show your sincerity first.”
《Sincere?》
“The monster that will invade the royal family in this defense battle… Deal with the rogue army with your own hands.”
Let’s move on from Stage 24 right now.
It was a rice cake that I just threw, but Baekya nodded surprisingly cheerfully.
“That much is a piece of cake. Will it really be that much?”
“… I just want to confirm your sincerity.”
“good. transaction made. I’ll gladly kill that monster king! don’t worry. Your winter this year will be very peaceful.”
Then the Midnight Sun pressed her upper body closer to me.
《But you know, right?》
The three hundred eyes of the monster and mine glared at each other right in front of me.
“It would be difficult if we only took our sincerity and didn’t pay for it. If you do, I’ll pay you back later with interest.”
“… .”
《Let’s make a wise and satisfying deal together.》
The midnight sun slowly moved away from me.
It was then.
Whoaaah-!
In the distance, the darkness was torn in length. And a dazzling light exploded. I frowned and looked over there.
What appeared through the darkness… … It was a familiar woman.
He was wearing a tattered robe and dragging his long white hair on the floor.
With a dazzlingly shiny old iron sword in his hand –
a merchant NPC in this dungeon and a legitimate successor to the Lake Kingdom.
Princess Mumyung appeared.
“ash!”
The nameless man who had been running through the darkness swinging his sword hurriedly shouted.
“I’m here to save you!”
《Oh my God.》
The white night clicked his tongue and quickly bit his body.
《The hero of light has come to rescue the delicate prince. We have to
get rid of the wicked witch quickly. ”
《What is it? For monsters like us, that princess’ ‘light’ is the opposite of the opposite. but… .》
The white night snorted briefly.
《That won’t last long either.》
“… ?”
“That princess is at her limit.”
Baekya snapped her fingers as she left meaningful words.
“Then I’ll run away! Let’s keep our promise to each other~] As
she snapped her fingers, the table with food and drinks and the smoking pipe disappeared, and the midnight sun was also covered in thick darkness- and disappeared like fog.
Caan… … !
Nameless, who struck the sword in the empty air where the midnight sun had disappeared, gasped violently.
“ha! ha! ha… Did you run away?”
As the commander of the Nightmare Corps disappeared, the entire darkness of the area began to slowly recede. Then I realized where this place was.
Endless rows of seats and a huge stage.
Dungeon area 8. grand theater.
It was the last dungeon in District 8 and the home of the Lich Corps. Did you bring me here… … !
Fortunately, no other monsters were seen. It seems that the white night has taken over everything.
I hurriedly ran towards the gasping Nameless.
“cotton!”
“ash.”
Anonymous smiled hard with a haggard face.
“You’re doing something reckless again.”
“You are reckless… Did you come all the way here to save me?”
“I ran into your men by chance… He said you were kidnapped and asked me to save you. That’s why I ran quickly.”
“Are my men all right?”
“They are strong friends. Even though I was swept away by the darkness of this place, everyone is safe.”
I ran to the staggering nameless and tried to support her, but the nameless refused and sat down on the floor.
“Now, you too, hurry back to your subordinates.”
“you?”
“… I will rest here for a bit and then go back.”
Anonymous shook his head slightly.
“do not worry. I’m just a little tired… … You will be fine after a little rest.”
Something that hadn’t been seen before was lined up behind Nameless who said that.
darkness.
The darkness is like a chain… … She lay stretched on the floor, tied to her back and limbs and glued to her limbs, like those that bind the legs of a prisoner.
Anxiety crept in as he saw her entangled in something he had never seen before.
– Anonymous realized that his fate was ripe.
Coco’s words ominously flashed through my mind.
The image of the final boss, ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’, who had been defeated only once in the game, also passed before my eyes.
“… cotton.”
I still don’t know why Nameless changed into that shape at the end.
I still don’t know how to save the unknown.
Still, I pushed myself to give her what I could.
“Actually, I was looking for you too.”
I’ve been looking for a meeting again for quite some time, but I didn’t have a chance to tell the story because Moo-myeong continued to go out of my way.
At my words, Mumyeong blinked her eyes in puzzlement.
“me? why?”
Her eyes, which were like clear lakes, were cloudy from fatigue.
Looking into his eyes, I smiled.
“I created an alliance called the World Defense Front in the outside world. All the free will countries of the world are members… … It’s an alliance that fights against monsters.”
“Have you been doing that all along? Great job Ash.”
“You join me too.”
“… what?”
In an instant, power came into the blurry eyes of the unknown.
I nodded my head to the nameless who looked at me in bewilderment.
“As a representative of the Lake Kingdom, as a person who fights against darkness… Both you and the Lake Kingdom join the World Defense Front.”
“… .”
“After all these battles… To become part of the world again when the Lake Kingdom returns to the world of light. It is necessary.”
The dry lips of the unknown who had been listening to me with a bewildered face slowly opened.
“… I can go back? Really my country?”
The black chains wrapped around her limbs vibrated.
“I… Out of this darkness and into the light?”
