I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 700

◈ 700. [STAGE 40] Dawn Bringer (2)

Kwagwagwagwang!

Night Bringer unleashed a massive magical bombardment, and Ash responded with a magic wall.

As the two transcendents collided, a huge shock wave and a cloud of dust rose up.

And in that dust cloud, Ash’s clones were mixed up and spilled out in all directions.

If it were the original Night Bringer, he would have figured out immediately which was his alter ego and which was his main body, but…

‘Ugh…!’

My mind was a mess.

Between Ash’s dizzily waving clone and the dust cloud, the vision of a red-haired woman kept getting mixed up.

The Night Bringer tried to blow everything away with a single breath….

Beep –

With the sudden sound of the flute, the illusion of the red-haired woman interfered with the Night Bringer’s vision even more intensely.

There was only one owner of this flute sound that shook the existence from nightmares to its core. The Night Bringer roared fiercely and looked in that direction.

《Crown, you bastard!》

In the swirling dust cloud, Crown was seen playing the flute with his left hand, with the right half of his body torn off.

Crown giggled from behind a white mask covered in red blood.

“It would be an honor to shake the king’s heart with the sound of a lowly jester’s flute.”

The Night Bringer stretched out his hand to tear off the remaining half of Crown’s body.

“Uh huh, you have to be careful when you run in.”

But Crown was relaxed.

“You’re not the only one who gets excited when you hear the sound of the flute…?”

Jormungand’s yellow eyes, which had been closed in a cloud of dust, opened wide.

The World Snake, which had been lying dead and gathering its last strength, jumped up.

The snake attached to the Night Bringer’s upper body bit down on the Night Bringer’s arm with its strong jaws.

If it had been a Night Bringer combined with the night, the attack would not have worked, but under the pouring sunlight, the Night Bringer was already dwarfed and losing strength.

Kwasik-!

The scales on the bitten area were destroyed and blood splattered everywhere.

The enraged Night Bringer opened his mouth wide and prepared his breath.

《Jormungand-!》

《…I traverse the world.》

Within Jormungand’s bright yellow eyes, terrifying magical power swirled like flames.

《Change the world…!》

As the Night Bringer’s breath hit Jormungand directly, a massive earthquake caused by Jormungand struck the area.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

Along with an enormous amount of smoke, smoke filled the area.

The Night Bringer removed Jormungand from his body and urgently looked around. Visibility was terribly blurred due to the smoke and dust.

And in this dust… Ash’s clones came rushing towards the Night Bringer from all directions.

Kyaaaaa!

Night Bringer blew out the dragon lore to clear away the smoke, and at the same time sprayed dark magic and feather bombs to destroy Ash’s clones.

It was then. I saw Ash approaching quickly among the explosions of clones.

It was Ash, wearing Lord of the Flies armor and holding the Midnight Sun flagpole. It was definitely Ash himself.

《Player-!》

Night Bringer immediately loaded the ‘Forged Night’.

Because the dawn is bright, there is not much night left for us to use. Moreover, ‘Forged Chestnuts’ was a skill that required enormous consumption.

But it’s okay. If you just clean up this place and put up the curtain of the sky again, you can complete the world covered in night again…!

‘I can completely destroy this world and this stage…!’

To do so, you must first completely destroy that terribly tough enemy.

Aiming was completed and the Night Bringer used ‘Forged Night’.

Tsukaaaaagh-!

The rushing night tore Ash’s entire body apart. Ash’s chain coat was reduced to dust and the flagpole was broken in two.

…But it was fake.

The one wearing that equipment was not Ash’s main body, but his alter ego. The Night Bringer was the flagship.

‘It’s fake?! Then the real thing is-‘

Taaa-!

Right in front.

The real Ash had already arrived right in front of the Night Bringer. The Night Bringer trembled and his golden eyes flashed.

I squeezed out every last bit of the night –

《I’ll tear you to pieces so you can never stand up again -!》

I vomited out the nights forged with hatred.

Blah blah blah!

Ash couldn’t avoid it. Unable to withstand the chopping fire of the night, which was thicker than ever and filled with more powerful hatred, I was reduced to dust from head to toe and was torn to pieces.

The Night Bringer made sure to see his opponent die without leaving a trace.

《….》

Suddenly silence came.

The Night Bringer slowly looked around in the middle of the quiet battlefield.

After a long silence, the black dragon muttered in vain.

“Is this really the end, player?”

came the answer from behind.

“How many times are you saying this?”

The Night Bringer’s eyes widened as he turned his long neck back.

“From the beginning, I…”

On the Night Bringer’s back.

Ash, who had completed his resurrection with his entire body covered in bandages with an ancient curse engraved on it, was smiling haggardly.

“That means it was broken into pieces.”

《You…!》

Currently, Ash had no equipment left. But Ash calmly stretched his right hand to the side.

That moment.

The sun rose from the east through a gap in the sky where the veil of darkness was lifted, illuminating its entire appearance and

flashing!

A pillar of light fell from the dazzling dawn sun to Ash’s hand.

No, it wasn’t just a pillar.

It was a flagpole.

Quaaaaa…!

A flagpole made of light was held in Ash’s hand. Ash slowly looked down while holding the hot, heavy flagpole.

Only then did the Night Bringer realize where Ash was standing.

That is the point where the black dragon’s back and neck connect.

As the Night Bringer merged with the night and became gigantic, a gap occurred between the protruding vertebrae and the scarred scales… 30,000

people rushed towards the gap and all ended up dying and dying.

– There is no name to tell you, you bastard salamander…

It was the very place where an unknown human soldier managed to inflict a wound.

The stubborn wound still remained unhealed, and

there… the Skyrian collapsed, being absorbed, and dying.

“Here, Ash.”

The Skalian smiled faintly as he was covered in blood and dying.

“Poke here.”

Ash nodded silently and raised the flagpole high.

And I hit it down with all my might.

The falling flag of light pierced the Skyrian’s heart and touched the scales of the black dragon that the unknown soldier had broken.

Skarian laughed, piercing his heart.

***

I ask the people of the world,

what is principle, that it determines right from wrong?

***

The Skyrians were kicked out for being born pure in a world made up of reverses.

On the other hand, if you were born in a world made up of purity, how would you have lived? Did he not think anything when he saw other villains being ostracized and kicked out?

Skarian was always worried. I worried about it all my long life.

What is forward and what is inverse? Who on earth sets the standards for determining teeth from the moment of birth?

– But… Just because you were born this way doesn’t mean you have to live like this, right?

So, of all the people here on the front line, he is the most unsuited to a hero. She was born as such a petty thief.

If you surrender to the laws of the world. If you submit to your destiny.

I also tried to accept the way the world is and give up fighting any more.

– Even if all I can show to this world is illusion, that doesn’t mean my whole life is a lie.

She didn’t give up the fight.

– I… want to be great.

No, it wasn’t just her.

– I want to save the world… again!

In fact, everyone on the front line here was an ordinary being with such extraordinary magnanimity.

But what on earth makes them keep fighting?

What makes a person great?

《Just because you were born that way doesn’t mean you have to live that way…. Just because you’ve fallen once doesn’t mean you can’t become great again…》

Skeyrian muttered softly as he coughed up blood.

He realized.

Whether it is in the order or inverse, such is only the standard of others.

There is no need to use both the principles set by your father and the principles imposed by the eyes of the world as your standards.

What is more important than anything else is your own heart.

《I will decide my fate…》

I decided not to worry about the criteria for dividing people into either order or station depending on which way they were born.

Just decide to live purely the way you want to live, heading in the direction you want to point.

So I decided to become pure in the true sense of the word.

《Can I now say that I have walked the same path as you all…?》

“….”

Ash smiled bitterly while planting the flagpole in the Skalian’s heart.

“Of course, buddy.”

《….》

“Whether it is pure or evil, human or dragon… the choice is up to you. It is you who becomes. “It is you who lives.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Skalian’s lips.

“Because we are all masters of our own destiny. “Because it’s not a piece, it’s a player.”

《Hehe. It was a pleasure to be a part of your adventure, Ash…》

The Skyrian’s body began to glow white.

《I said I liked bad endings back then, but the truth is… I like the obvious happy endings much better.》

“….”

《So, Ash. Please… show me an ending that is better than anything in this world.》

“Of course it will be, Skyrian.”

Ash nodded with confidence.

“Because I am a player. If there is a true ending, then you have to reach it to conquer this world…!”

After making a sound of relieved laughter at that promise,

the Skalian’s entire long body flashed dazzlingly and began to condense at once.

Eventually, they gathered together and took the form of small, tiny scales.

The only weakness that the evil dragon has.

The Skarian decided to become such a purist and became the Night Bringer’s non-existent weakness.

Sunlin had already assimilated into the Night Bringer’s body. Ash’s quill of light penetrated the scales precisely and dug inside.

Flash!

The flagpole of light that pierced Sunlin indiscriminately burned the inside of the black dragon’s body.

The Night Bringer was essentially a being from the night, so it could not withstand the morning sunlight penetrating into its body.

《…!》

In the face of unimaginable immense pain, the Night Bringer did not let out a scream.

Even as the flames of light turned the entire inside of my body into ashes, I gritted my teeth and held back the screams.

Even at this moment, he was looking for an opportunity to counterattack. The curtain of darkness covering the sky rippled and responded to his will.

But –

– if you will destroy everything until the end of the world.

Again.

Her vision disturbed my mind before my eyes…

– I and my descendants… will begin again and again on top of those ruins.

Night Bringer missed his last chance to counterattack.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The curtain of darkness covering the sky split one after another, and dozens and hundreds of rays of light poured out through the gap.

Using the flag of light planted by Ash as a sign, the dawn light fell like a bombardment, as if it contained will.

The flames of dawn poured down like a swirling fire, striking Night Bringer’s entire body, penetrating through it, and burning it.

《Player-!》

Now, under the completely clearing sky, the black dragon vomited blood miserably and tried to somehow pull out the flag of light.

But Ash held on to the flagpole, which was as hot as fire and as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Even though my palms were burning and my shoulders were collapsing, I held on without blinking.

Because it was the pain I endured during my first battle in this world.

Because it was the pain I had always lived with since that day.

Ash held the pillar of light with both hands that smelled like burning flesh and concentrated his consciousness.

Then the light burned even more fiercely, scattering dazzling flashes of light everywhere.

It felt like a huge flag was waving.

In the end, the veil of darkness that covered the sky has shattered and the world is now brightly bright…

Pow…!

The tip of the flagpole, burning inside the black dragon’s body, finally reached its heart.

The Night Bringer’s dragon heart was surrounded and protected by the dark blood magic of the Black Dragon Legion and the primordial darkness.

The darkness was too deep to penetrate no matter how much I pierced it with the essence of dawn light.

But it didn’t matter to Ash.

“Because this is why I put your blood in my body.”

Ash is also a being with black dragon blood.

Ash’s consciousness delivered through the flagpole instantly and precisely dismantled all the magic and darkness.

And Ash thrust a beam of light with all his might into the gap in the wide-open seal.

Phew!

The beam of light penetrated like the tip of a spear and pierced the Night Bringer’s heart and soared forward.

Ash smiled weakly with a haggard, blood-covered face at the black dragon, who looked back with disbelief.

“good morning.”

The flag of light that pierced the black dragon’s heart touched the scar of light on the chest that had been carved by Nameless earlier.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous pillar of light spread out in all directions as if exploding, engulfing everything in the southern plains.
