Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Excuse me, Dantalian. Are you stupid?”

“…… Sorry. ”

I was trembling. In front of me, there was a girl who darkly grassed the aura, "That's ridiculous." Ever since you walked in on the old Goblin as soon as your wife came in, the girl has been under a lot of pressure.

“I made it clear not to use honorifics on the Mages. ”

“I'm sorry. ”

I apologized first. For some reason, I felt weak when I stood in front of Lapis. Could human relationships be based on a quick first impression? Since the first encounter, I was able to pretend to be as majestic as Laffith, but now I can only show such a clumsy face.

Laffith sighs a little. My shoulders shrunk even more.

“Mr. Torquel, no. Torquel is a legendary executive at the Kunkusa Council. Born as a goblin, a lower horseman, but became a great wizard and lived for almost a thousand years. You can call me a living monster. ”

“Was the wrinkle inspiration that good? ”

“ ……. ”

“Keep talking! ”

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I thought I heard an effect. What a girl's eyes are so sad. Honey, then you can't make any friends. Well, Lapis doesn't have any friends. The girl who was teased by the horses began to preach how foolish I was and how I should have a relationship with the Kunkusa Parliament for my benefit.

I heavily tuck my nagging voice into my right ear and pull it out into my left ear. The important thing was to make eye contact with the other person and nod once every seven seconds to show that I was no longer serious. 4 seconds is too short and 10 seconds is too long. The target is deceived by nodding at least 7 seconds. If we go back to the world like this, maybe we should just learn.

Laffith has more than 20 likes, right? ’

When my appeal reaches over 20, I see a mental state in the opponent's status window. I suddenly became curious about Lapis' abilities. It was because I personally thought Laffith was a very talented horseman. The girl who gave back 20,000 gold. What kind of stats does this guy have?

‘Status window.’

Tiring!

Elasticity poured out without me knowing.

“... Amazing. ”

“Therefore, negotiating with a higher rank as you have gained your position... … Are you listening to me, Dantalian?" I don't think so, but you're not ignoring or underestimating my advice, are you? ”

Of course! Of course! I nodded fervently.

Laffith's suspicious eyes caught on my face like a glue. It's useless. You've got the nerve to ignore my face! I broke through my level of tears. It's this much smoke. It's so cold. Laffith tilts his head a few times and continues to nag. Hey, quiet and clumsy kid has a lot to say today.

‘By the way, that's quite a stat. ’

Above and beyond, three abilities surpassed the 50s and even more than the 70s in politics. It was great to have a Class A job and a Class B job, even though negative corrections were attached. As a dungeon attack gamer, it was similar to the competent middle class of any kingdom. The Foreign Minister is not only a foreigner, but also a foreigner.

‘What a waste of talent. Tsk, even the Horse Society was rotten. ’

The Horsemen are thoroughly meritocratic. A skilled person is followed by respect and honor. Individual skills and prestige given in society. It is the central axis that makes the world of the Horses roll. But at some point, fame became more important than skill…… there was a time when a Demon King was discussing it in a Dungeon Attack scenario. I thought the Horses were in trouble.

“Okay, okay. ”

And I shook my hand. I have a pretty good idea of what Laffith is trying to say.

“Yo-Yo wants you to trade with someone with a high status and good ability. ”

“Yes, at least we can't lose to someone like that. But Dantalian's useless opposition to Torquel... ”

“Laffith Lazuli. ”

She frowns and shuts up. I glanced at her with a big smile.

“…… Sorry. I crossed the line. ”

“I don't blame you. I'm not stupid enough to exclude someone who's advising me. The weak have a way of living in their own world. Isn't that right?"

“ ……. ”

The weak.

It also referred to me as the Half-Bait King, and Laffith as the Half-Circuit. We were all alike in our half-lives. I didn't become the Demon King because I wanted to. Laffith, too, was not born as a harp circus.

that he had won an unwanted auction for his identity, and that led to his directionality in life. We were similar in many ways. That's why you're so fond of Lapis. I said with a faint smile.

“Lapis. I'm short for short. He's a bipolar coward. That's why I think about what I need the most to survive as an abbreviator. Should we live with the strong? He wouldn't be so bad if he wanted to survive right now. But the reason the strong allow the weak to be parasites is because the weak are worth something. Once the value is gone, the life of the weak is over. ”

Deal with the executive in the future. That's a good story, but the appearance of the Chamber of Commerce is all because I've been planning a big business called the Black Herb. When I can no longer offer such a business, I make clear that the executive will leave me without foolishness.

“You can't do that. No matter how much time passes, I can't escape my weakest position. I'm always going to end up passive. Lapis, the underdog has a ledger, a ledger, and a ledger. The bottom line is to live by sticking to the strong. Middle schools are alliances between trusted abbreviations. The trick is to capture the strong's fatal weakness and use the strong. ”

I don't have a plan. I don't know the weaknesses of the Kunkuska Council. There is no guarantee that the Kunkusa Parliament will support me to the end. Therefore.

“I want to use the weight. ”

“A book in league with the weak. But with whom...? ”

“It's you.”

I pointed at her with my fingertips. Straight ahead, you face her jewel-like eyes.

Laffith was silent for a long time and opened his lips.

“Me, you mean? ”

“Yes, Lapis Lazuli. You're the talent I need. ”

“I'm sorry, I don't fully understand Dantalian's concerns. ”

Her expressionless face is noticeably confused.

“I'm one end. As I said before, social status is not good either. Thank you, Dantalian, for trusting me. I also want to gain a higher position at the Kunkusa Parliament by helping Dantalian. ”

It's like telling yourself a story.

But that's it, "Lapis said.

“It's no good to know that the Demon King is a connoisseur and a lover of the few like me. The Demon King must be hard and pure to the devil. It should be like a dustless mirror that captures and projects the dreams, dreams and unconsciousness of the devil. I'm just a red rust-like impurity in the mirror for Dantalian. ”

The feeling of Lapis was vividly conveyed. It was a timeless notion. The feelings that were once sticky with despair, vengeance, damage, and wounds had long been stiff and stiff, crouching like a rock. Everyone does. Everyone has to carry their own rock on their back. However, the rocks will eventually become weathered and the mountains will crumble. I believe so. And I wanted to be her wish.

“No, what I need is you. A child like you should stand by my side. ”

I said without hesitation.

“Who came running to me when no one could rely on me? Who has decided to stay by my side for a hundred years? It is you. Who brought you gain on my behalf when no one believed me? You're the one who's giving me advice to harm myself for the success of Dantalian. Laffith Lazuli, it's you. ”

“No. I would never ― in Dantalian's long-term life. ”

“How can you be so sure? When did I ever say that? ”

Laffith shuts up her pale pink lips.

My voice was full of confidence.

“It's not you who decides my life, it's me, Lapis Lazuli! Don't you dare plan my life. ”

The Demon King of medicine.

If I want to survive like that, I can't fit in with the ruling class of an existing society. They already have seven Demon Kings besides me. Now that the successor has entered, he can't save anything but be exploited. Then I will unite myself with those who are marginalized from society. I'll convince them to be my comrades and minions. Although I am a coward. Although I have the worst abilities, I will survive with countless weaklings' aspirations and sights as a weapon.

That's what I desperately came up with.

The best number for Dungeon Defense.

The first step is you, Lapis.

“ ……. ”

Lapis was speechless. I didn't mean to be silent. The small lips were opened, then repeated several times again. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't think of any words or sentences.

It was then.

─ Adventurer has invaded the dungeon!

A warning window appeared in front of my eyes. It shows fifteen Class F adventurers have just passed the Dungeon Entrance.

I smiled.

“Enemy breach. ”

Perfect timing.

I summoned a golem army and a fairy army in my mind. Dozens of monsters respond like a flood of emotions. The excitement of opening war, the joy of killing humans for their masters. My heart was suddenly filled with total natural color.

“Laffith, come with me. I'll show you the Weakling War. ”

I marched with an army of monsters. I didn't even have to wait in the courtyard in front of Marwan Castle. The troops soon encountered an adventurer party. Adventurers panicked at more golems than expected. I have struggled with my skills and courage. However, their spear blades are blocked by the thick walls of the golem and fall powerlessly out.

“Golems in formation! I've never heard of anything like this! ”

“Shibaaal! Some asshole told me this place was backwoods! ”

A slight crack is revealed when the adventurers stick out their spears and swing their swords. I aimed for that moment to make the fairy troops pour out their magic. The sound of the wind grinding rapidly passes by. Windcutter makes their forearms and thighs unscathed. Screams echo through the cavern.

“Shhhhh!”

“Magic, damn it, it's magic! ”

“Fucking Luke! Don't run, don't back down! Fuck!”

The wound itself was shallow. If we responded calmly, we could minimize the damage. But the lowest time needed to regain calm, I never allowed it. The golems' stone fists spill over the adventurers' heads. The man with the injured forearm in the windcutter loses his shield. The price was severe. The golem's fist crushed the adventurer's entire breastbone. There was blood everywhere.

─ You defeated the Lux Adventure Force. Additional EXP awarded for eradication.

─ Congratulations! Your dungeon level has increased.

─ You can build additional facilities in the dungeon by reaching dungeon level 2.

Once the hole was breached in the line, the rest was simple. The Adventurer Party was annihilated in an instant. The two who were trying to escape were also killed by a single gunshot from a fairy army. I stand with 15 dead bodies laid bare. Monsters cheer for victory without filtering. They were just silent for me, the owner.

Laffith mutters at your side.

“Only the lowest monsters, without any damage.... ”

“I am abbreviated. But it's not stupid. ”

I reached out my right hand.

“Lapis. Let's show them. The pride of the weak.”

She looked at my hand with blue eyes. She raises her right hand. I paused for a moment. I did not rush, I waited without saying. Then Laffith carefully grabbed my hand. The warmth in my palms spread.

Lesser Horse Lapis Lazuli has a 20 + Favor! They 'trust' you.

I have a 50 preference. If you persuade an opponent, you can recruit them as an ally.

“Please take good care of me... … My Lord Dantalian. ”

“I'm the one.”

At that moment, the silent monsters shouted at the same time. The sound of cheer echoes through the cave. That day was probably the first time I've won a victory since I fell into this world.
