◈ 566. [STAGE 35] Advent
“… Princess Yoon.”
After a short silence, Quylan asked.
“Did you write a will?”
Yoongi blinked at the sudden question and nodded.
“wrote. I don’t know what will happen not only in this battle, but also after this.”
“Let’s exchange.”
“Eh? Shall we exchange? A will?”
Quylan first took out the will from his bosom and handed it over.
“I don’t know what to say, but my suicide note is full of embarrassing things. I became a bit emotional after writing it for no reason. I wrote a very long sentence, starting with my thoughts about my late brother and even talking to my men.”
“Ah, me too. I wrote it down paragraph by paragraph to my mom, dad, brother, sister and younger siblings with tears. When I read it again, my face got hot.”
“After I wrote it, I thought, I don’t want to show this to anyone. never.”
“Me too.”
“So if you don’t want the other person to read this, you can’t die.”
Yoon, who was speechless for a moment, laughed ahaha and took out his will and handed it to Quylan. The two exchanged each other’s will and held each other.
“Let’s embrace each other’s things. And after this battle is over, let’s exchange this will again.”
“… .”
“And seriously, let’s talk to each other. About how our relationship should go.”
“great.”
Yun carefully kept Quylan’s will in his arms. Then I sat down next to Quylan and carefully leaned my head on his shoulder.
“I don’t know what will happen then, but since we’re still in a flirtatious relationship, can you lend me your shoulder?”
“… However much.”
Quilan whispered softly as they looked up at the summer night sky sprinkled with the Milky Way.
“Let us not die.”
“of course.”
Yoon smiled.
“I have no intention of dying after failing to have a proper relationship.”
***
Noon the next day.
The time when the hot summer sun settles right in the center of the southern sky and the earth is blazing in the sultry air.
At the outpost in front of the Black Lake, the elite troops of the Crossroads were stationed.
“Don’t forget everyone. This is just a preliminary battle.”
I spat once more at the heroes and soldiers.
“It’s a battle close to reconnaissance where you look at their condition and gauge their strength.”
Throughout the exploration period, the Paris monsters only ran away.
Without fighting properly, they just crawled into the darkness to avoid us.
So right now we have no combat experience against them, and we haven’t figured out who their corps commander is.
Get the full-scale information from now on.
That’s why I’ve been ordering my subordinates several times to proceed with the battle more carefully.
“Never overdo it. Think of it as giving away the forward base right away.”
Hearing my words, the heroes and soldiers under my command fiercely lit up their eyes.
“Body light, eyes heavy. Minimize damage and get as much information about the enemy as possible. Got it?”
“yes-!”
My elites who answered all at once.
At that time, five new recruits dressed in protective suits standing separately next to me – ‘Insect Busters’ shrugged.
“Don’t worry too much, Your Highness. As long as we are here, we can eradicate any bug.”
“hmm.”
“There is nothing to be nervous about. We’ll quarantine everything… … .”
Insect Busters is an expert in exterminating insects, so I kept them as my direct party.
The existing heroes were a little uncomfortable with them because of the odd boast, but I was generous.
As far as this battle is concerned, they are the best in comparison to any other hero party.
shoot it… … .
It was then. The surface of the Black Lake began to ripple.
“Observation of foam on the surface of the lake! They are coming out!”
shouted the skirmisher attached to the telescope. I exclaimed.
“All artifacts around the lake are operational! Don’t be late!”
“yes! Artifact activated!”
Lily shouted and stretched out her hand, and the artifacts pre-installed by the alchemist team started to operate around the lake.
I bit my parched lips and waited for the enemies to appear.
And
Kwa Gwa Kwang!
An explosion sounded, and the artifacts I had installed around the lake exploded all at once.
“shit… !”
I unknowingly let out a sigh.
Teleport Gate Trap.
A trap that covers the entrance of the lake with a giant teleport gate and blows monsters that pass through to the spirit world. It was the one I used during the battle with the Goblin God King.
It was made with the resources and money collected over the years.
bang! Kwagwagwang!
Inside the lake, an unidentified unsettling aura shook and destroyed all the artifacts.
I installed it because I thought it would be easily caught by flies with low intelligence, but it is so easy to destroy it.
and right after
bubbling bubbling… … .
The surface of the lake stirred as if bubbling up, and boom
!
Drops of water splashed high into the sky.
And – appeared.
boo oo oh oh… … !
Huge- A truly huge… … However, one monster in the form of a fly was unmistakably.
The huge fly, with devil-like horns sprouting from its head, rose slowly to the surface of the lake and stopped there.
“… ?”
I blinked my eyes.
“What is that?”
big.
It’s a long way from the outpost to the lake. Nevertheless, even with the naked eye, it is huge.
too big too Could a fly of that size exist?
Even if they exist, how did they hide from our reconnaissance all this time… … ?
I urgently turned on the system window. Then
[Enemy Information – STAGE 35]
– Lv.? The Lord of the Flies: 1
enemy information window had completely changed before I knew it.
“Lord of the Flies… ?”
see for the first time
It is an entity that has never even appeared in the game. Cold sweat ran down my spine.
Besides, why is he alone?
Where are all the other flies going… … .
Booooooooooooo!
and the next moment.
As the roaring guy spreads his huge legs left and right,
boo woo woo boo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo!
Countless flies stored in his body began pouring out.
“… !”
Only then did I notice his ‘structure’.
That huge monster is a being that countless numbers of fly monsters have gathered together and merged into one.
Woo woo woo woo woo!
Thousands of flies poured out from the left and right of the Lord of the Flies, making a sound like that of a wasp in flight.
And they started to make movements that were not at all like flies.
orderly.
Like fighter jets doing aerobatics.
It began to rotate endlessly along a set trajectory.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Behind the back of the Lord of the Flies, they flew nonstop, drawing a trajectory that looked like a figure eight flipped sideways. The shape drawn by those thousands of flies was clear.
Infinity (∞).
Tung-
I can’t understand it with a human head.
I don’t know what principle the lift was generated by that meaningless ritual.
Slowly, the giant of the Lord of the Flies soared into the air.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This time, hundreds of flies escaped from the Lord of the Flies’ head and began to spin round and round over the Lord of the Flies’ head.
The pitch-black remnant they created as they rotated looked like an angelic halo or halo.
The flies drew three such halos on the head of the Lord of the Flies.
The innermost and outermost halos rotated to the right, and the middle halo rotated to the left.
The floating giant of the Lord of the Flies took over the sky.
Is it a coincidence?
At this moment, the halo above Lord of the Flies’ head blocked the sun.
This happened because it was noon and they were due south of us. Circles of black bubbling flies gnawed at the sun like a solar eclipse.
The world at noon, which should have been the brightest, was suddenly covered by dusk.
And the Lord of the Flies stretched out hundreds of legs left and right, and the next moment.
good.
I folded hundreds of legs and gathered them in the center of my body.
It looked like joining hands together, and it looked like a posture of prayer.
“… !”
Unknowingly, goose bumps formed on my forearms.
Under the gnawed black sun.
A halo of flies floats above his head, and infinite wings of flies spread behind his back.
monster praying.
Unlucky, impure, and disrespectful.
All the actions of this fly, which I had never encountered before, were far beyond human comprehension.
To be honest.
The popliteal fossa was numb.
“Lord.”
Turning to Lucas’ voice, Lucas also had a face I’d never seen before.
“Something… Something is strange.”
pale
Even that Lucas muttered, swallowing dry saliva with a bloodless face.
“The corps commanders in the past were also not normal for fraud, but that… .”
“… .”
“too… It’s so evil. It’s almost suffocating. how… .”
My passive skill [Indomitable Commander] is working fine.
Currently, all the heroes at the outpost here are within the influence of my passive skills. No matter what kind of mental abnormality the monster inflicted on them, they would all survive without incident.
But he didn’t do any tricks.
just by its existence.
Just with that shape and behavior far beyond human comprehension and innate wickedness… … It made everyone in this place sick of it.
“… Kut!”
I gritted my teeth.
What would you do with that?
Is this the first time you’ve been incomprehensible? First ever evil enemy? Not like that.
Nothing changes. Nothing changes. He’s a monster, he’s trying to destroy people, and we’re here to stop them.
“Prepare for battle-!”
When I commanded, the heroes and soldiers who had been lost in their spirits came to their senses at once.
“Don’t panic! Just fight as you trained!”
I waved the flag and hit the floor! put it down
“It is a collection of Parisian monsters! Don’t be intimidated by the size! After all, it is made up of those flies that we can easily catch!”
It is similar to the Carrier and Interceptor in the classic strategy simulation game.
Lord of the Flies is an aircraft carrier. The flies that formed his body are interceptors mounted on motherships.
They were intimidated by the unique presence of a colossus, but their true nature was Paris.
“I can defeat you enough! Don’t panic, calmly prepare for battle as you trained!”
My subordinates, who came to their senses at my repeated orders, prepared for a defensive battle in an orderly manner.
Skilled artillerymen lined up the cannons, and the wizard troops raised their horsepower. Various traps and artifacts tightly installed in the forward base were ready to activate at once.
And the Lord of the Flies, which slowly floated towards us and flew
towards us- Chuck.
He undid one of his hundreds of legs and slowly put it forward.
And the ends of those ugly hairy legs… … I drew a small circle round and round.
Is it an illusion?
For a moment, that movement felt like a gesture of a conductor directing an orchestra.
Woo woo woo woo!
And some of the flies stored in his huge stomach escaped from the body of the Lord of the Flies in accordance with the gesture… … It started pouring like a bullet towards the forward base.
Looking at the flies flying in formation as if drawn in a picture, I was speechless for a moment.
Any flying monsters I’ve dealt with in the meantime.
I didn’t fly in such a straight and beautiful formation.
“Prepare for battle-!”
I shouted over and over again to break my throat.
“They are coming!”
