◈ 508. [STAGE 24] White Night (2)
… It’s nothing.
I tried to think that way even as I watched the gigantic eyes open in the sky blink and the monster king was crushed in one blow.
It’s nothing. It’s a terrifying force, but it’s not impossible to deal with.
Even in the game, Midnight Sun was a troublesome boss monster.
It was because it had the only ‘instant death’ effect skill in this game. That gigantic candy cane wink show I just cast was that.
However, as much as the power of the skill was unbelievable, there were certainly several disadvantages.
The number of times it can be used is fixed, the waiting time until reuse is long, and above all, it is a single target skill.
It cannot instantly kill all targets within a certain range. only one at a time. The opponent caught must be killed, but should I do that?
‘Skill directing is a bit frightening, but that’s it!’
I glared at the sky with my open eyes and gnashed my teeth.
Anyway, it’s a monster I’ve already faced in the game.
He’s still within my target area… … !
Kyaaaaaaaaaa!
When the Goejo King fell, the rest of the Goejo corps under him let out a scream as if resonating in unison.
Then, a group of thousands of rogue birds were launched like missiles and flew toward the midnight sun. Then, a clear laugh escaped from the corner of the white night’s mouth.
《Those who spread their wings to the sky without knowing the subject.》 The hem of
Jiangxi Richie ‘s
robe fluttered widely from side to side
.
The amulets poured out folded themselves into paper airplanes and flew in search of their respective victims, drawing beautiful curves like guided missiles.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Thousands of grotesque birds and thousands of amulets collided with each other.
And
Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!
The whole sky was dyed white.
Scorching heat and blinding light shook the area. I involuntarily raised my hand and hid my face from the light and heat.
After a while, when the heat and light subsided, I looked up at the sky.
There were no more rogue corps left in the sky. Took instead
. Took. Took.
Patter… … .
The corpses of a group of monsters… … It was falling like a heavy snowfall.
Pieces of meat fell like hail and blood poured down like a shower. And the burnt feathers slowly filled the air like snow.
Above this surreal landscape, the midnight sun still floated in the sky.
Above his head, his huge eyes were bulging terribly.
“… .”
It’s nothing. It’s nothing. It’s nothing… … .
“… fuck.”
I beat up what I was repeating in my mind, and I started cursing without even realizing it.
How do you win this baby?
This is the 3rd rank of the monster corps leader.
Wizards who are comparable to fighters even receive compensation for boss monsters… … Compared to simple firepower, I was instantly dazed in front of the power of the Great Emperor of Magic, which surpassed even that black dragon.
It was then. The huge eyes in the sky that had just been open without focus suddenly moved.
Spinning –
chin!
The grotesquely rotating red eyes were staring straight at the castle wall here.
I was in the center of it.
《Whoops.》
The white night smiled naturally while loading the instant death skill at me.
… I didn’t back down.
At this moment, I knew that if the midnight sun made up my mind, and if those huge eyes closed and opened their eyelids just once, I could die. I stared at him without backing down.
Because I know.
that you need me Now that this is just a blackmail.
“As expected, he has a lot of guts.”
The white night waved his hand and slowly his huge eyes began to close.
Leaving those eyes behind like a background, the white night opened her mouth.
《You kept your promise, Player. Since you showed sincerity, now it’s your turn to keep your promise.》
“… .”
“Kill another me. The deadline is until the day the next invasion begins.”
Midnight covered her mouth with a long sleeved sleeve and giggled.
《If you kill another me until then, I will be your ally.》
“… .”
“If you can’t do that, I will come back here… I will trample your precious wires along with those dear to you.”
Her body disappeared as if it melted into the darkness formed.
“I look forward to it, Player. I hope we can maintain a good relationship in the future.”
And the midnight sun completely disappeared.
The huge eyes also slowly disappeared into the otherworldly darkness that covered the sky.
Eventually, the darkness dissipates… … Snow started to fall from the sky again.
The corpses of the monster army piled up in the southern field, the feathers falling on them, and snow dust… … .
I stared at this cold, desolate view with my mouth shut, then slowly looked back.
I could see my soldiers still standing motionless with their heads down as I ordered.
And among the soldiers, I saw my heroes staring blankly at me with pale faces.
“… uh.”
Especially, it was Junior who was shocked.
“How do you deal with a being like that… ?”
“… .”
“Such magic… I hadn’t even heard of it. Even that vampire king wasn’t at that level of magic… … .”
“… .”
“We don’t know how to deal with such an evil mage… … Are you really there, Your Highness?”
“of course.”
I answered immediately.
“There is a way.”
As always, games exist to be attacked.
Even if the path to the attack is narrow and steep, like going through the eye of a needle, it is clear.
I brushed the snow off the shoulder of the soldier standing in front of me with my hand. and ordered
“Everyone raise your heads!”
The soldiers raised their heads in unison.
Everyone’s faces stiffened at the sight of the monster’s flesh and feathers pouring out, but I smiled.
Clearly, the magic that the Midnight Sun showed me just now was terrifying.
However, in the future, Crossroads will also have to deal with enemies that are more heinous and terrible than this.
This is just the beginning of the third year.
Your heart shouldn’t be broken at this level.
“Why is everyone’s face like that! Isn’t it a victory won with a bang? You can rejoice a little more!”
Isn’t it said that the most delicious food in the world is food bought by someone else?
Originally, it would have been much more difficult, but the enemy had eliminated the monster army with their own hands. It is not a situation to be depressed.
“Besides, our adversary revealed his own hand.”
It’s more like showing off than showing off, but anyway.
I raised my voice.
“Our work does not change! Do what you do!”
The back story of the world that I can’t understand, the mighty enemies, the road to the true ending that I can’t clearly see –
it doesn’t matter.
I clenched my two fists and slashed the jaw of the one closest to me while taking one step at a time.
I turned toward the wall.
I chewed and spit out as I glared at the dizzyingly pouring plains of feathers and snow.
“Prepare for the next defensive battle!”

After the battle. Dawn dawning in the distance.
The subordinate heroes gathered at the manor house. I convened to set the course for the future.
They all looked tired after a bad night’s sleep, but none of them looked sleepy.
That would be too… … Just a moment ago, I saw what the enemy Nightmare Corps commander was doing.
Single-handedly, he tore and killed the entire grotesque army. Clearly, White Night is different from the monsters of the past.
‘This is a wizard.’
In the meantime, there were enemies who used magic, but the Midnight Sun was a foreign entity among them.
He is a classic magician who does not pursue other means of combat and is purely devoted to magic.
As a result, the combat level in other parts is close to 0, but the realm of magic is extremely high.
‘Enough to be able to open the sky at will.’
Trying to erase the eye candy I encountered today from my brain, I started explaining to my men.
First of all, it was the reason why the midnight sun came forward to defeat the monster army.
Corps Commander Baekya and Mage Tower Master Baekya These two divided beings want to kill each other, and the fact that Corps Commander Baekya fought today is because of his sincerity to kill Baekya, the Tower Master.
After talking this far, Evangeline jumped up with a caak.
“Are you going to betray the Master of the Magic Tower, White Night?!”
“Betrayal… Words are harsh. Rather, why do you call him that? White night ‘nim’?”
“Then I just gave you this damn armor, but of course you have to put it on!”
It seemed that Evangeline, who had received [Snow White] from the White Night, was already on their side.
The same was true of Belldandi, who was standing next to him.
“The Holy Grail that the master of the Magic Tower, White Night, was preserving… You gave us the world tree sapling. Betraying such a person is painful… … .”
I’ve already fed you a lot. These two are already on the side of the mage tower master.
I clicked my tongue inwardly. In fact, I also received a lot of help from Baekya, the master of the magic tower. I synthesized a small everblack staff, so I put it to good use during the Imperial Battle.
“but.”
Lucas, who had been listening, opened his mouth in a cool voice.
“It is true that the corps commander White Night looks more useful.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Isn’t Baekya, the owner of the Magic Tower, just holding a sit-in in her tower? On the other hand, the corps leader Baekya can lead his corps and move directly. He even declared that he would rebel against the demon king.”
Lucas put aside what he had already received and tried to calmly assess the situation.
“I’m sorry to say this, but haven’t you already taken out everything that can be used from the White Night, the Magic Tower Lord? Its usefulness declines. On the other hand, the strength Baekya showed today is formidable. If we can make him our ally… … .”
“No, Uncle Lucas! Your words are a bit harsh! What about the chivalry you learned at the academy? Chivalry!”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to apply human morality to a monster.”
The drawing room quickly became noisy. The heroes began debating which side to side with.
After a while, Evangeline shrieked, tearing her hair out.
“Oh, I am confused! I don’t know who is who because they both have the same name! Share your name!”
“good.”
I clapped.
“Then, let’s ask Jiangshi, who performed a magic show today, to shoot the robot we met at the Mage’s Tower in the dark night.”
“The name Baekya didn’t exist at all… But what is soya?”
“there is. something delicious I’ll do it later.”
Sausage all of a sudden – Magic tapju Baekya that became stir-fried vegetables… … No, after expressing an apology to Soya from the bottom of my heart.
I cleaned up the cluttered atmosphere.
“Actually, it is difficult to take sides. You’ll know the magical power of Dark Night today. Same goes for Soya. If you properly fortify that magic tower and block us, it won’t be easy to defeat it.”
In the first place, the condition of this branch quest is ‘to kill either side of the midnight sun with our own hands’.
The problem starts here.
In order to fulfill Dark Night’s request, Soya’s magic tower must be destroyed in free exploration, but it is difficult to build an impregnable magic fortress.
In order to meet Soya’s request, I have to defeat Dark Night and the Lich Corps in a defensive battle, but I can’t imagine how great the damage will be on this side if I get hit by such an archmage on the front line.
“It sounds like it’s difficult even to meet the demands of one side.”
“yes.”
In the end, in order to transfer one of the two to our allies, we too must endure enormous damage. but.
“But think about it. The reason they coax us is that they can’t kill each other. That’s why they’re trying to use the car killing system through us. But after doing that and killing one of the other.”
I smiled meaningfully.
“Will they really have any use value for us?”
Lucas frowned.
“… Are you saying they betray us too?”
“In fact, wouldn’t it be weird not to do that?”
After killing the opponent, whether it be the Black Night or the Shooting Night, and becoming the real White Night, there is no need to cooperate with us.
It was like that in the game- Whether it’s the Lich Corps or the Mage Tower, they stand by our side for a certain period of time, but ultimately betray us.
In the end, they are destined to fight and kill each other.
This was the risk of incorporating these allies that I mentioned before, and it is also the reason why I hesitated and pondered over the choice until now.
Either way, while being an ally, it’s definitely useful.
But in the end, both must be killed.
“Then what will your lord do with them?”
I grinned.
“We have to pay back what we received.”
Both sides over there have shown me sincerity enough.
Now it was my turn to reciprocate.
