Tyrant

Whoosh! A terrifying whirlwind struck the center of the fortifications. The left and right of the defensive line were barricaded with cannons and ballistae, and they launched wind magic at the incoming gargoyles through the breached center, using the whirlwind artifact. The wind magic wiped out the gargoyles’ wings, robbing them of their lift, and…

The monsters we had seen so far emerged, filling up the horizon. But this time, it was different. The sky. Beneath a heavy, clouded sky that seemed ready to pour out rain any moment, a group of beasts even blacker than the sky descended. I swallowed dryly, studying their formation through the telescope. It was…

All along, Aider had been monitoring the five members of Aegis Special Forces Team 8, in case of any emergencies. There was the matter of Lilly, and I couldn’t help but be a little anxious. However, nothing particularly suspicious was found. They just chattered among themselves, like kids their age. “Regardless of what thoughts they…

From then on, the defensive preparation went smoothly… …No, allow me to correct myself. The preparation for the defense met a significant hurdle. “Eeeeek?!” The issue arose the very next day. Initially, I had just brought Godhand to introduce him to Lilly, but Lilly got a fright. “Your, Your Highness. Your Highness. Come over here…

I placed the three new Magic Guns on the table and examined them. ‘They’re shaped like handguns.’ Since the same three Magic Core were used, all three pieces took on the same shape. I picked up one of the Magic Guns to check its stats. [Cerberus Lv.25] — Category: Magic Gun — Attack Power: 11-66…

They used a knife-like action to pick up their food with a fork, opened their mouths like robots, popped a bite in, chewed precisely ten times, and swallowed. All…

The Aegis Special Task Force Team 8. Its five members were as follows. [Sub Party1 (5/5)] — Lv.35 Godhand(SR) — Lv.29 Bodybag(R) — Lv.28 Oldgirl(R) — Lv.25 Skull(N) — Lv.22 Burnout(SR) “Interesting code names.” Having checked everyone’s name, I gave a brief remark. “Can you tell me your real names?” “I’m sorry, sir.” Godhand bowed…

First off, I made sure to dismiss the surrounding soldiers. Unwanted conversations could be counterproductive. Lucas and Evangeline were the only ones left in my company. I found myself sitting face-to-face with the five convicts. “Let’s start with verifying your identities.” I pulled out some documents and locked eyes with the representative of the prisoners….

To the north of Crossroad, there lay undeveloped mountainous areas. In the lands north of the frontline, all places suitable for farming were already fully developed. Though not as fertile as the land south of the front line, every inch of soil had to be put to use for survival. That it remained undeveloped, meant……

Just after returning from a free exploration. Late in the afternoon. Downtown Crossroad. The shrine. “…” In front of the infirmary, I was nervously cracking my knuckles. As soon as the exploration ended, we all came here for treatment. The final battle had left us all with minor injuries. Particularly, Jupiter’s injuries were severe. She…
