The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 105

105fury. 

===============================

Kojiro Kodo, in front of the scene where the tornado he caused was gnawing away at the mountain, those surrounding the place from four directions were momentarily mesmerized..

A miracle where just one person can control a disaster that shakes nature,

Who can look up at that scene and not be amazed??

however…….

Kwa-and-and-and-and——!

Now, the entire mountain was evaporating..

This scene... … It was on a different level..

As if there was a volcanic eruption,

Vibrations, explosions, smoke, and flames rise..

Fu—boo—boo—boo—boo——!

And eventually, magma pours down..

“……What, what?!”

It was Kodo Kojiro who shouted that. Everyone else just opened their mouths and marveled at the destruction unfolding before their eyes..

Ku—gu—gu—gu—gu——

They all realized that the person who caused it was Lee Hyun-wook..

And Tai Nagano, who was on his way to pick up 'winter clothing' after receiving an order from Kodo Kojiro, also stopped and stared at that place..

"Seriously, that thing... … I used that heart?”

Lee Hyun-wook, the ‘snapping’ work he obsessively did came to mind..

"Uh, so, that means being prepared.……."

Like many people up until now, she once again admired the man named Lee Hyun-wook, while also feeling a strong sense of heterogeneity..

‘What on earth is that guy??’

Then I realized one thing.

"Mr. Kodo… … lost completely.”

I was already losing a few moves, but I didn't know it..

And then something caught in her eyes.

A stream of thick black smoke billowing from the mountain peak, a single flash of light dividing it vertically like a carpet.—

That was Lee Hyun-wook’s giant sword, Mogley..

It was obvious what it was aiming for........

Qua—ah— ang——!

With that attack, this situation came to a conclusion..

- congratulations! You survived! With such a system message, the dome began to disappear.

***

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the message that appeared before his eyes..

- congratulations! Lucky rewards will be given! (First place)

Before he knew it, there was a hammer in his hand..

- 'Obtained ‘Mjolnir (Legendary)’.

[Item information]

- Name: Mjolnir (Legendary))

- effect

1) Steel Thunderbolt: When thrown, destructive power increases significantly..

2) Returning: Returns when the owner orders it to return..

3) Thunder God's Wrath: Emits a powerful electric current.

This was the weapon of Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology..

‘……I'm sorry Han Tae-san, but I have this too..’

According to the original history, the '3rd Rescue Team' in which Han Tae-san participated played a big role in this unlock event strategy, and Han Tae-san gets this..

As well as the 'Secret Armor of Mananan Mak Rir' obtained at the last Seoul Station Unlucky Event, Lee Hyun-wook took over all of his armaments..

‘I get to wield Mjolnir, the hammer of the thunder god.…….'

Lee Hyun-wook was feeling uncharacteristically moved..

This was really, ridiculously strong stuff..

‘It reminds me of when Han Taesan threw this thing while falling from thousands of feet to kill the black dragon that appeared in Suwon..’

At that time, Mjolnir hit the creature's torso—it bounced off and crashed to the ground. As a result, the entire 20-story officetel building collapsed..

At that time, the one who killed the black dragon was Lee Hyun-wook's Moglai, but it was largely thanks to Han Taesan's single blow that it blew away the guy's mana shield..

"and… … What is that??”

Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo looked at Mjolnir with admiring expressions..

As it was a legendary grade, it gave off a unique aura even at first glance..

Meanwhile, the two people took third and fourth place, respectively, and grabbed a few pieces of orihalcon. In fact, that alone was undoubtedly an incredibly valuable reward... … It was inevitable that relatively little attention was paid to it..

"Strangely enough, I feel a lot of energy there..”

Park Jun-mo felt the power of Mjolnir, as it had the ability to control electricity..

‘If this is available, the synergy with Park Jun-mo will increase even more.?’

And a short while later, the Self-Defense Force's AMT troops entered the dome..

They inspected the shelter and controlled the civilians.,

1.2The car rescue team returned to.

There, Hyunwook Lee faced Shinjiro Kodo..

"......."

He looked at Lee Hyun-wook with a somewhat blank expression..

And he asked in a rather short and rough tone..

"Hyunwook Lee… … What on earth have you done??”

It was almost like an argument..

It seemed like he was probably suppressing his growing irritation..

"What do you mean by that??”

"Damn it, how did you think of blowing that chill away??”

"Haha—it's simple. You always have to think about strategy.."

“……what?”

“And that's what raid is..”

He sighed and laughed as if he was empty..

"Ha— Raidra… … This is ridiculous... … Who would think I was an amateur? I'm asking you because I don't know that......."

His tongue seemed to get longer, and Lee Hyun-wook stopped speaking..

"—Oh, I'll tell you what I want.”

“……what?”

"Have you forgotten that fun bet you suggested??”

Through this strategy, I obtained legendary grade Mjolnir..

And now, it was time to receive the free gift..

***

- ah! Rescue workers are coming out of the dome now! Look over there! The appearance of the first rescue workers... … ah! This is Kodo Kojiro.!

At that time, the Japanese archipelago was engulfed in cheers. All kinds of cameras swarmed around to tell the world of the proud return of heroes..

Hyunwook Lee listened to the radio in the car on the way to the runway..

It was a Japanese current affairs program, but it was translated into Korean..

- Looking at it now, it seems like the 2nd rescue team's operation, that is, delivering debuff removal items to the 1st rescue team, was successful..

- Yes, it looks that way at the moment. Also, considering that the strategy was completed very quickly, it seems that Kodo Kojiro showed his strength well..

They only looked at the face value and decided that everything went according to plan..

- ah! After all, it is the strength of a man called ‘waist gain’.?

- Yes, it's a bit weird, but it's definitely something Japan is proud of..

But the real facts that followed left them perplexed..

- Now, here's the news. Oh, I can't believe it. The number one contributor is not Kodo Kojiro... … My name is Lee Hyun-wook.!

Lee Hyun-wook, that name came to me with intensity once again..

- under… … This is not good. really not good.

- If this happens, the great reward everyone expected, that is.…….

- Yes, you could say that Lee Hyun-wook inevitably swallowed it..

- This is a situation where questions such as why Lee Hyun-wook’s support was accepted are bound to arise. Japan, we're in real trouble..

Among them, there was also a 'confrontation' that Kodo Kojiro suggested to Lee Hyun-wook. Since I was promoting the neighborhood room through my own mouth, there was no way to stop the story from spreading..

"By the way, what did you get as a betting item? I saw this person earlier, and his face turned red and he said that was not possible.?”

Kim Se-hee laughed and said that the scene was fun..

Lee Hyun-wook took out something..

yes——

It was a red bead, and dense mana was gushing out from within it. And I could vaguely feel the heat..

[Item information]

- Name: Salamander's Orb (Hero)

- Effect: Gives the item the power of ‘Salamander’.

"wow… … If it's a hero grade 'Orb', it's really precious.?”

In general, the grades of 'Orbs' are usually divided into levels 1 to 5..

The orb that Lee Hyun-wook bought to cash in at the PX item shop was a low grade item grade of 5, so if you look at it, it was the lowest 'normal' item, and the 2nd and 1st grades above that were 'rare'..

"Yes, orbs with the ‘name’ of a spirit like this are really precious..”

It was the highest grade orb, so-called ‘named orb’..

And this was more valuable than most hero grade items..

This is because, as it is an item that can attach enormous options to the hero grade item, it has become the reference point for 'end spec' now that it is virtually impossible to obtain legendary grade weapons..

“2I remember a year ago when this guy came on TV and told the panelists to touch it. I never thought I would see this like this……."

As Kim Se-hee said, when Kodo Shinjiro got this, he showed it off on TV, and that was a big help in Lee Hyun-wook's choice..

"But, the man kept this without using it..”

"Maybe he was waiting until he got the right item.."

"By the way, where are you going to use this??”

"hmm… … maybe. I think I might use it for moghlay..”

In response to Lee Hyun-wook's explanation, Kim Se-hee stuck out her tongue as if imagining something..

"Wow, crazy……."

That giant sword is imbued with the power of the fire spirit ‘Salamander’.…….

“……Just thinking about it is incredible..”

"Yes, I’m excited too..”

In my past life, I used the orb of ‘Undine’, the wind spirit..

So, when he swung, a storm-like sword wind blew out..

‘But now that there is Kim Se-hee, the power of the wind has been fulfilled..’

And since I got the 'Salamander's Orb' just in time, I decided to try incorporating the power of 'fire' into Mowglai this time..

Hyunwook Lee was also excited to see what kind of skills would be created..

"But he really didn't want to give it away, so how did he get it??”

Lee Hyun-wook smiled..

“Well, when I returned to the country and was interviewed, I was told that I would testify in great detail about what happened, and I gave it out in a fidgety tone..”

And while telling me to watch my mouth, he gritted his teeth and disappeared..

"what… … He doesn't like it when it becomes known that he lost.?”

Lee Hyun-wook shrugged his shoulders as if he had no idea..

"and… … That person was truly vain..”

At one time, she had Kodo Kojiro as her role model. Of all the players who used the wind, he was the best..

“Now, well... … Because you can just watch and learn from the side.……."

“yes?”

"No, I will work hard from now on..”

***

- The hero of Seoul saves Japan and returns home! At the scene of Lee Hyun-wook's return to Korea, the coverage is heated and fans are crowded with supporters.!

- Lee Hyun-wook went beyond Seoul and became a world solver! Finally entering the ‘Korean Player Rankings’! What is his first ranking?……?

Beyond saving the country, it also boosted the country's pride.,

The name Lee Hyun-wook has now become a source of pride in Korea..

And this country was very good at treating heroes..

- Do You Know Still Rain? Hyunwook Lee joins the Do You No club!

However, there were many times when it was too good and it was a problem..

"I've never signed up for anything like that.……."

However, as fame grew, there was something to be careful about..

‘This time too, the risk is getting bigger..’

Villain, it was clear that they were preparing another male and female..

He's seen heroes toppled by villains..

‘……You can't let down your guard..’

Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook asked Director Woo Seong-moon to strengthen security not only for himself but also for those around him, such as Park Cheol-soo and Kang Jeong-du..

‘Still, a team like Bihyungrang would be the best security..’

After that, I stayed in Laputa for a while..

And I steadily swallowed metal…….

- Current steerable metal weight: 1,059 kg

Finally, it was possible to control 1 ton of metal, albeit only in Seoul..

therefore…….

- congratulations! Succeeded in breaking through the 3rd potential and acquired a ‘characteristic skill’.

[Skill information]

- Name: metal fusion

- Grade: D

- Effect: Consumes mana to 'melt' a certain amount of metal.

* Mana consumption varies depending on the amount of target the skill is applied to..

It was crushing and deformation followed by melting..

It literally melts.

And the ‘molten metal’ that was melted like that was also metal..

‘In other words, it is possible to handle metal in a liquid state at all times..’

It was very useful. Not only did it become an unpredictable and strange weapon during battle, but it could also be freely created into any shape in an instant by combining metal fusion and metal transformation..

"In the future, the battle will get a little easier.?”

On the one hand, we looked back on the memories of the war, collected current events, checked future plans based on that, and predicted variables..

At that time, TV news flowed into my ears..

- ……Kim-Walter, the brightest comet this century, is approaching Earth. You'll be able to see it in a week.

This news was an astronomical phenomenon that had been introduced occasionally for a few days and was an out-of-this-world story that no one was interested in yet..

But only Lee Hyun-wook knew its extraordinary reality..

'……meteorite It's time for it to come.’

Another event was flying out of space..

This world has become like a ‘game’.

And the phenomenon wasn't limited to Earth..

An event arrives somewhere in the universe, far away..

That was the identity of that comet..

- ……On the 21st, Kim-Walter is scheduled to come very close to Earth and pass by by 31 million km. NASA judged this object to be a potentially dangerous space object and monitored its movement, but said there was little risk of collision and that an unprecedented space show was planned.…….

No, it doesn't come off..

Authenticity comes down to this land.

‘And there was not one meteorite, but two..’

It was now observed as one. But at some point it splits in two. And those two were events with different characteristics..

‘One was a disaster, one was a blessing…….'

Wherever a meteorite falls, a catastrophe will occur..

But another meteorite brings great wealth.

A lot of things in this game are so extreme..

In a way, fate was completely divided by ‘luck’..

But if you know in advance... … You can ‘make your own choice’.

In other words, he was able to attract the meteorite of blessing..

Lee Hyun-wook called somewhere..

"Mr. Ko Jin-hwa, how are you??”

"Well, there is something I would like you to get from Southeast Asia. The name might be... … It's called.”

***

Lee Hyun-wook asked Park Cheol-soo to purchase forest land in the mountainous area of ​​Gangwon-do. However, the area was considerable, and a surprised Park Cheol-soo received a call..

- however… … Wasn’t this land worth anything? It's already difficult to control the monsters coming down from the mountains, so all the residents have left, so this area is practically a dead land. I mean, know this and buy it.?

"Brother, if I buy land, I will speculate on everything.?”

- A land like this... … I live because I have something to write about.?

"Yes, we have the right to attack there..”

Not long ago, we negotiated with Gugwang and obtained the right to attack the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do. Also, Team 1, Team Sehee Kim, and Team 2, Team Jeongjun Lee, within the Hope Guild attacked the gate that occurred there twice..

- hmm… … But the distance is a bit too far to say.?

“that… … I have other plans.”

I couldn't tell you what kind of meteorite was going to fall there..

Huh—huh—

“Brother, I got a call from Mana Messenger, so wait a minute.……."

The moment Lee Hyun-wook hung up the phone and opened Mana Messenger,—

- ......Water Lord! Wow! This is the lab, there's a big problem.!

This was Kang Hee-seol's voice..

"huh?"

- That robot! This is just— ugh! Ooh, it's moving!

“what is this sound?”

Lee Hyun-wook immediately summoned Fridwen and returned to Laputa—using the wide-area drop device, he arrived at the Gangjeongdu item production and research center..

bang——!

As soon as he got out of the teleport, he heard an explosion..

I turned my head and saw a warehouse building collapsing..

“……Uh, what is it??”

He ran with the Pale Note floating in the air..

“……Here it is!”

I heard Kang Hee-seol's voice from somewhere..

Blacksmiths, including Kang Hee-seol, were gathered near the office building. Fortunately, secret service agents broke in and evacuated the place..

Thump—thud—

And heavy footsteps began to sound from the warehouse..

bang——!

The outer wall of the warehouse was torn apart with a loud noise, and something appeared..

Thump—thud—

It was a rather familiar, metal giant about 4 meters tall. A head as wide and long as a tower shield, magic circuits embroidered all over the body... … That was the ‘Bronze Sentinel’ that Lee Hyun-wook caught at the gnome ruins..

But it looked quite different now..

It had all kinds of devices on its back, shoulders, arms, etc..

It seemed like all kinds of magical engineering items were stuck together..

And in particular, the 'big gun' on his right arm really caught my eye..

‘Damn, that's the work of a gray dwarf..’

If it is a Gray Dwarf weapon that specializes in making super-large weapons,…….

'……If that thing fires, it's going to be a real uproar.!’

Additionally, an unusual energy flows out from near the heart..

It meant that the power source that moved that huge body was not ordinary..

“……Hey, what's the monster??”

Kang Jeong-du became restless at Lee Hyun-wook’s question..

“Isn't this the engine the boss gave me last time??”

"Oh, you're talking about the eight kings of Mokwang.?”

I entrusted the ‘Mokwang Paljun’ that I had recently acquired to Kang Jeong-du..

No matter how precious the item was, it would be more helpful for technological development if it was used for research than if Hyunwook Lee himself had it..

however…….

"With that, I… … Did you bring the giant back to life??”

"Yeah, it was just a test, I didn't think I would survive..”

"But over there… … They have all kinds of weapons.?”

“Yes, that's correct too.”

Lee Hyun-wook held his head..

- Strangely modified ‘Bronze Sentinel’ (LV. 120)

‘under… … But the level is 120…….'

Considering that the 'Incarnation of Molech' I faced not long ago was level 95, it meant that he was an incredibly strong person..

‘Maybe my firepower won't work..’

If we put all our firepower into it, we could somehow make it retire, but it would inevitably cause major damage to the nearby city center..

This means you may have to ask someone for assistance..

‘You'll need a pretty high ranker for that too..’

But suddenly a thought occurred to me..

"Oh, maybe……."

He turned on Mana Messenger and contacted Yeo Min-sang in Laputa..

"Tell Talos to connect with this mana pattern right now.!”

- yes? Ah yes!

Chijijijiji——

Then I heard a noise, and then another voice..

「Yes, master! Mana Messenger connection completed..」

"Talos, you are the best artificial intelligence the gnomes have ever created, right??”

「Yes that's right!」

"So, can you control an artificial intelligence lower than you? Of course, it looks like it was created by a gnome, but they can't speak..”

「that… … I'll have to check, but I don't think it will be difficult. It wouldn't be a very high-level AI if it didn't have language skills..」

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the giant approaching this way..

“Well, if you do this……."

Thump—thud—

‘……This actually worked out well.?’
