The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 112
112fury.
================================
Lee Hyun-wook was walking through the red wind..
The ground he stepped on was boiling, and the closer he got to the center, the deeper his feet became like a swamp. In addition, the floor gradually formed a downward slope, and the terrain was melted by a circular 'flare shield'..
Qua—ah—ah—ah——
I couldn't even breathe in that heat storm. This was because everything in the area was burning and boiling, and all oxygen was burned away..
‘If it weren't for the effect of Achilles' armor set, I wouldn't have lasted a few seconds..’
Lee Hyun-wook moved forward as quickly as possible..
- Achilles' Armor Set Effect (2/4) Time Remaining: 18 seconds
I could only last like this for 18 seconds..
‘But even this is not invincible.’
Like the legend of the hero named Achilles, the effectiveness of this weapon also has a flaw. It was obvious, but it couldn't protect Achilles' tendon..
Therefore, all strengthening efforts were focused on the ‘Achilles tendon’… … Even this had its limitations. The enormous heat was melting Kangchehwa..
‘We need to get to the center quickly.!’
Soon, a slightly lighter red oscillating needle appeared in front..
‘There it is!’
Lee Hyun-wook threw himself towards that place.,
yes——
The wild fever disappeared and a quiet land appeared..
This is the center of the flare shield... … It was as calm as the eye of a typhoon.
There was still no oxygen, but I was still able to survive..
‘It's over there.’
Phaethon, the flame giant, was crouching there, and heat could be seen gathering and condensing in his chest. This is the three-stage preparation process for the chloride storm..
It must have noticed Lee Hyun-wook's intrusion, and it slowly opened its eyes..
「How dare you come in here? You look like you want to burn to death.…….」
Even though I didn't open my mouth, that voice entered my head..
This was a setting to exaggerate the divine presence..
At the same time, a pillar of fire came down from the ceiling—the flare shield..
But Lee Hyun-wook did not avoid it..
Qua—ah—ang——!
"Still invincible.”
- Achilles' Armor set effect (2/4) Time remaining: 3 seconds
He summoned the Mjolnir engraved on Lee Hyun-wook's right arm and fired it at the guy..
Zeng— The guy’s head shook violently with a sound..
‘Okay, he's got a lot of defense down now..’
We were already devastated by the previous attack, and the damage was done well..
He summoned the shotgun 'Black Rhino' from the engraving on his left arm, then moved forward while aiming at Phaethon's head and pulled the trigger one after another..
Kwa—ang——! Qua—ang——!
It's a series of shocks that even world boss monsters can't withstand. One hit, one hit, every explosion, a piece of his skin falls off..
「dare… … dare… … dare……」
Phaethon was repeating the same words as if he had made an error, but Lee Hyun-wook did not stop and poured all his cells into his head, shattering every part of Phaeton's head..
Kwa—ang——! Qua—ang——!
Soon the rotation of the flare shield began to slow down.…….
Woah-ah-ah-ah...
Soon it dissolves like smoke and scatters here and there..
- Any events occurring in that area will be canceled..
“……done.”
With this, at least we succeeded in ‘cancelling’ the skill..
At that very moment, someone flew through the dispersing flare shield..
“yes, i was waiting!”
Wow - billion——!
Taesan Han, he flew in and landed a flying knee kick on Phaethon’s forehead. The skin that was cracked by the black rhino shot cracks open..
"This time I'll really put an end to it.—!”
Blue energy began to flow from Han Taesan’s hands..
"Inhale!”
When he thrust both fists at the same time, the two streams of energy intertwined and curved like a dragon, covering and crushing Phaethon's whole body..
Kwa-ga-ga-ga——!
「Go, go, go, go, dare……」
Pheethon was now beginning to become very languid, and the end had come..
"By the way, Mr. Taesan Han, be careful where you look above your head..”
“……what? What is it again this time?—!”
Han Taesan nervously asked back at Lee Hyun-wook’s words. Until now, every time Lee Hyun-wook spoke to me, something strange happened.…….
Whoa whoa——!
It was the same this time too.
A whistling sound is heard from the sky far away and it gets closer..
It was a giant sword, Mogley..
T-billion——!
The tip of Moglei's sword plunges into the crack in Lee Hyeon-wook's forehead that Han Taesan split open, and magma pours down..
‘shockwave—’
T-uh-uh——!
However, as it is a world boss monster, the entire head was not blown off, and magma flowed out from cracks all over the body as if blood congestion had burst..
"You bastard, you're trying to suck up the contribution at the end too.——!”
Not to be outdone, Han Tae-san started throwing punch after punch..
"This time, I won't lose!”
Boop-burr-burr-burr-burr——!
A barrage of punches like a machine gun, Phaethon's body fragments like clay..
「persimmon… … he…….」
With those words, the flame giant Phaethon collapses like a sand castle..
In the end, when only the head was left, Han Taesan struck down..
100 million——!
- congratulations! Defeated the world boss monster ‘Paeton the Flame Giant’.!
* The compensation is 'differentially paid' depending on the level of contribution..
"after......."
Taesan Han took a breath and looked at the system message that appeared before his eyes..
- congratulations! Lucky rewards are given. (2nd place)
"......."
He gritted his teeth in silence..
Second place again this time... … I knew without asking who was number one..
‘Hyunwook Lee…….'
This was actually a natural result.
Although the two inflicted similar damage to the boss monster, it was Lee Hyun-wook who completely wiped out the army of death on the runway in front of him..
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook confirmed the item obtained as the first place reward..
Total 2,
One was a red crystal and the other was a gold card..
- Obtained Sun Fragment (Legendary).
- Obtained the trait Bloom (Special).
‘Fragments of the sun... … This is a legendary grade material..’
It is an item with similar properties to the one I obtained in a bet with Shinjiro Kodo some time ago, and it was effective to make it out of an orb..
'In this case, you can attach fire attribute skills to two items..’
I haven't used Moglaye yet... … Since this is a legendary grade, it made sense to use it on a legendary grade weapon..
‘Hmm, does this apply to Mjolnir??’
It already has electric properties, so can it contain the power of the sun??
Since it was an area that even Lee Hyun-wook didn't know about, it seemed like he should give it a try..
But this wasn't the only reward..
The hidden quest I received because I had Helios' blessing arrived with the reward, and it was also a legendary item..
- Obtained the Sun Chariot Core (Legendary).
‘If you have this, you can make another proper airship..’
While Lee Hyeon-wook was so happy, Han Tae-san approached..
"Hyunwook Lee, you bastard……."
"Thanks to Han Tae-san, everything went as planned. Thank you for your effort.”
"……what? Do not be ridiculous. Even if you weren't there, I would have finished it alone..”
“Well, that could be true, but… … It's not like I didn't exist..”
Yes, now it was a situation where it couldn't be claimed as still like before..
If there had been more time, Hantaesan would have withstood the storm of fire and captured Phaethon. However, other players would not have been able to endure it and would have been sacrificed... … In this strategy, Lee Hyun-wook was definitely the playmaker..
"Hey, this time I used a lot of strange tricks to create an advantageous situation for you, but next time... … Try to be honest and fair.”
He couldn't let go of his pride and started making such childish excuses..
"Well, I'm not playing, I'm raiding..”
"what? This bastard now—”
“……Using everything you can, that's raiding..”
"Who wants to teach whom now— ugh!”
He stopped talking and touched his forehead due to a sudden headache..
But that was then.
Wooooow——
Prydwen, which was floating in the sky, quickly began to lower its altitude, and at the same time, Yeo Sang-min's voice came out from Lee Hyun-wook's Mana Messenger..
- Chick—Master! There is news that Laputa is under attack.!
‘Ha, as expected…….'
He anticipated this situation and prepared for it..
‘Still, I have to go back as quickly as possible..’
They must have planned and prepared their troops there, so no matter how much protection was put in place, it was impossible for them to return home leisurely..
"I… … Taesan Han, can I ask you one favor??”
"what? It's a sound again. Now whenever you open your mouth I get on my nerves, bitch—”
"I know that Taesan Han doesn't like wasting time on closed training sessions like this, but if you do me a favor, I'll take you to Seoul quickly.."
Before going to catch the trespassers in Laputa, I was thinking of taking the best weapon with me..
***
"......."
In an underground parking lot, Ki Baekjun was leaning on the car seat with his eyes closed..
A vein sprouted and twitched on his temple..
“fuck……."
He cursed softly and opened his eyes..
"So, it's been 15 minutes since I entered Laputa, and I haven't heard from you.?”
"……Yes, honestly, I think this should be considered a failure..”
The man in the front passenger seat said.
According to the original plan, the werewolf commandos should have infiltrated Laputa by now and entered Laputa through the two-way portal they opened..
But now, let alone the two-way portal being opened, there was no contact..
"I… … Master, how can you just leave this earth??”
“No, I've come this far, but where can I go with my bare hands??”
“Yes, it is..”
“……From now on, we will mobilize all means and attack head-on..”
He said that and looked out the window..
A truck parked nearby, full of black orcs inside..
"Yes, I understand. Shall we mobilize the hostages we prepared in advance??”
"Yes, prepare for that too. If you have that, the situation will be advantageous..”
Soon, the underground parking lot door opened and six trucks lined up..
***
After Seo Eun-ha ordered her soldiers to evacuate citizens and blockade the area, she stood under the vines and waited for werewolves to fall from the sky..
Keng——!
They were unconscious from the shock of the fall. Even so, since it was a very dangerous entity, she personally took the initiative and dealt with it one by one..
deeply!
“Ha—this is the 14th.……."
At the end of the war, there were more than 40 werewolves that climbed vines..
That meant that the rest had finally arrived in Laputa..
"I think there's someone up there too.……”
Currently, no information has been released regarding Laputa. A few days ago, the only information was that the Steel Fleet launched there..
‘This time too, Lee Hyun-wook, I'm sure he's involved..’
Lee Hyun-wook, now it feels like he's in a different world... … Ever since I got to know that man, every incident had his name in it..
- Chick—Platoon leader, a city bus is approaching..
“……City bus? Why did something like that come here??”
- Well, there are citizens on board... … Damn, I don't listen to orders to stop.!
Seo Eun-ha grabbed the shield that had been placed on the ground and went out to the road..
Wooooow——!
On the four-lane road in front, I saw a city bus coming..
"—stop!”
Despite warnings through loudspeakers several times, the speed did not slow down.,
"Uh oh!”
Just before crashing into the steel barricade.,
Tweet——!
Only then did I brake suddenly just in the nick of time..
"No, what is it??”
Seo Eun-ha looked inside through binoculars..
‘……There are still citizens inside.?’
Fear was evident on their faces..
‘Damn it, I'm a hostage..’
she had a hunch.
Soon after, six vehicles of unknown affiliation lined up..
It was an inconsistent combination of sedan, SUV, and delivery truck..
However, the beings that came down from there…….
uh! B, it's black oak.!”
There were a total of 21 black orcs and 14 players..
But, humanity is standing side by side with monsters?…….
This scene was definitely something that would turn the world upside down..
even…….
"Platoon leader, that man over there is Ki Baekjun, the representative of the Taesan guild..”
Seo Eun-ha's eyebrows twitched at Sergeant Kang Ik-jun's report..
"what?"
"Hey, it's towards the second SUV..”
Ki Baekjun, wearing a white suit, was really standing there..
‘what? Why is there a Taesan guild over there??’
The Taesan guild had been implicated in various corruptions for some time, but even so, the sight of them standing together with the Black Orcs was extremely shocking..
It was then.
“—Hey, Ki Baekjun! I knew you'd be here too!”
An unfamiliar voice rang from somewhere..
“When your car went into Gangwon-do, I thought this guy pulled a trick, man.!”
Several figures emerge from the shadows of a building..
"Yes, hiding in a cave in shame is not something you can do.?”
They were dressed in black clothes and black masks..
"Rather than the proud head of the Taesan guild hiding like a rat, just catch me because I am a traitorous terrorist like Black Orc and Brother Brother! Wouldn’t it be better to reveal it? This idiot... … you fell behind today.”
The man took off his black mask while spouting all kinds of foul language..
‘That person is the guild's assistant master, Oh Kyung-pyo.?’
He was ranked 14th in the Korean player rankings and was the creative magician Oh Gyeong-pyo..
However, he was famous for having a bad relationship with AMT..
In other words, in this situation, he was one of the awkward personnel in many ways..
"……Mr. Oh Gyeong-pyo? why are you here?”
He approached Seo Eun-ha, held out something and whispered..
"I shouldn't reveal something like this, but I'm a black agent for the government..”
It was an AMT ID card, and it listed the rank of lieutenant colonel..
"uh… … Is this real??”
"You can check that later, but focus on that one for now, Lieutenant Seo.?”
"ah……."
Seo Eun-ha was confused about how this situation was going..
At that time, Ki Baekjun opened his mouth..
"Listen carefully, I'm warning you just once..”
He raised his head with blood in his eyes..
I could see Laputa up there.
“Get out of my sight right now... … Otherwise……."
At that moment, something like a left tentacle sprouted from his shoulder.—
Shut up!
Next to him, he pierced the window of a city bus and pierced the nape of a young man's neck..
“hey! You crazy bastard, what are you doing?!”
“I just told you to get out of the way! You bastards!”
deeply—!
As shouts came and went from both sides, another person was sacrificed..
Before I knew it, the two left windows of the city bus were turning red..
Because this was an unexpected and indiscriminate murder, we could not respond..
"Wow——”
"Please save me!”
Then Seo Eun-ha and Oh Gyeong-pyo looked at each other with devastated expressions..
“……Whatever it is, you have to step back first..”
"Ha, I guess so, this……."
The AMT soldiers had no choice but to hesitate and retreat.,
Ki Baek-jun's side began to approach slowly at that distance..
"And please, it would be best not to try something stupid like sniping. You probably don't have the confidence to tell who is a citizen and who is a hostage on that bus.?”
There were about twenty people on the city bus. However, looking at Ki Baek-jun's comment just now, it seems that Ki Baek-jun's subordinates are hidden inside..
Jeopuk- Jeobuk—
If things continued like this, I had no choice but to listen to their intentions..
“……Sergeant Kang, can you hear me??”
Seo Eun-ha whispered just enough for Kang Ik-jun, who was standing behind her, to hear..
"Yes, it's right behind you.”
“I can electrocute the citizens in there to the point where they don't die.?”
At those words, Kang Ikjun let out a small sigh..
“……Are you going to make me take off my clothes and be chained up in irons??”
"I heard that Lee Hyun-wook did a good job rescuing the daughter of Gukwang Group.?”
"Ha, is it that kid again? under… … I understand for now. Signal.”
He lowered the muzzle of the Barrett M82A1 he was holding to the ground..
Jeopuk—
And slowly, I placed my index finger on the trigger..
Jeopuk—
Then, when I take a step back—
“……It's now.”
At the signal, I pulled the trigger with the muzzle pointing towards the ground..
At that moment, a small magic circle formed above his head..
He was a sniper, but his original trait was that of a magician and a 'magic bullet shooter'..
Ta—ang——!
Gunshots and bullets were not fired from the muzzle but from the magic circle, and at the same time, Seo Eun-ha shot 'Holy Light' towards Ki Baek-jun's face..
“Ugh!”
Hit, the guy frowned and the tentacles on his shoulders waved in the air..
Meanwhile, a 50-caliber bullet penetrated the front window of the bus, and the electric current magic enchanted there was activated—blue electricity spread out in all directions..
Phage support——!
Seo Eun-ha kicked off the floor and went forward. She closed the distance with a speed that belied anyone wearing heavy full plate armor and she leapt off her feet a dozen meters away from the city bus..
bang—!
She smashed the front window of the city bus, rolled on the floor, and then got up. She then quickly circled around and looked at the outfits of the electrocuted passengers. To be exact, I picked out the guy hiding the weapon..
‘found!’
A total of 3 people, Seo Eun-ha struck them in the chin one by one and knocked them out..
It all happened in a split second..
And it was also the starting point of a full-scale battle..
"shit! Just hit it! Kill all those bastards and go up to Laputa.!”
Soon, the two sides clashed indiscriminately..
AMT snipers waiting everywhere took action.,
Also, Black Orc assassins targeting them appeared..
"—1Equipped with a company and defensive formation!”
bang! bang! pop! bang!
On the main street in front of Seoul Station, all kinds of magic glowed and blurred my vision. Inside, the metal collided and made a loud noise, and blood spurted out along with screams from time to time, staining the asphalt sticky..
"Wow—”
"Damn it, medic! Here are some heels... … Ugh!”
And in such a melee, it was difficult to withstand the Black Orc elite troops..
The troops of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Port Horse Brigade began to be pushed back helplessly..
"hey! Ki Baekjun, you fucking bastard! Come on!”
Meanwhile, Oh Gyeong-pyo pulled out his spear and rushed at Ki Baek-jun..
No matter how much our troops were pushed back, all we had to do was catch Ki Baek-jun..
"hey! You know that no matter how high your ranking, you are no match for me.?”
Ki Baek-jun's ranking was 10th, and Oh Gyeong-pyo's ranking was 14th. If you look at it at face value, Ki Baek-jun seemed like he was at the top, but in a one-on-one match, Oh Gyeong-pyo with the 'Warrior: Spear Specialization' trait had an overwhelming advantage over Ki Baek-jun with the 'Summoner' trait. was.
But Ki Baekjun did not back down..
"okay… … Come see me. I gave it my all today.”
Ki Baekjun muttered that and took out a dagger and cut his own wrist..
The blood scattered like that moved on its own and created a magic circle on the floor.,
Tsutsutsutsu——
A huge mouth protruded from inside it..
"......huh?"
Oh Gyeong-pyo had no choice but to stop at that strange sight..
Then, its mouth opened wide and bit Ki Baekjun’s left arm..
Chow—bad——!
"Wow——!”
- caution! The 'Demon Summoning Ritual' begins in the area..
"You bastard, no way… … I even touched the power of the devil?”
Ki Baekjun uses the ‘Summoner’ trait to summon various creatures to fight..
However, there was one fact that was not known to the public... … By making a contract with the devil, he obtained permission to use the 'demon cage', which was infested with demonic beasts at the level of high-ranking boss monsters, and was able to summon demonic beasts..
But summoning a demonic beast required a great price..
For example, it meant offering a part of one's body to the devil..
The blood pouring from Ki Baekjun's severed arm created a portal..
And a strange beast crawled out from within..
- caution! The demonic beast ‘Cerberus’ has appeared.
3Cerberus, the gatekeeper of hell, a huge beast with the head of a dog…….
Those six red eyes turned towards Oh Gyeong-pyo..
“......huh?”
Oh Gyeong-pyo hesitated and retreated at the overwhelming majesty..
It revealed its blade-like teeth, revealing deep hostility, and the moment Oh Gyeong-pyo slowly adjusted his grip on the spear — three snouts flew out..
Wow! Wow! Wow!
"Pfft! What's so hot—”
Oh Gyeong-pyo barely managed to avoid three teeth coming from three directions..
However, I was unable to avoid the front foot coming from the side..
Sigh——!
After being hit properly, it flew about ten meters and landed in a truck..
"Pfft! This crazy bastard is summoning all kinds of shit.……."
Oh Gyeong-pyo had been looking forward to the moment of catching Ki Baek-jun and knew all the creatures he was dealing with, but he never expected this kind of magical beast..
Before I knew it, its teeth were right in front of me..
Wow! Wow! Wow!
‘This is too fast!’
Wow - billion——!
This time, I avoided the three spouts, but was struck by the front paw..
He quickly rolled to the side and dodged another flying tooth..
Kwasik!
The asphalt where he had just been lying was dented like a cake..
‘shit! I'm not going to deal with this alone! At least level 110 or higher!’
100Above the level, it was a high-level boss monster that was difficult to deal with alone, no matter how strong the player was. He felt like this monster was like that..
But that was then.
Gerberus, who was chasing Oh Gyeong-pyo, stopped and two heads raised the whale. Then he started barking fiercely as if he had found something..
Wow! Wow! Wow! keung!
the very next moment—
Qua—ang——!
A bronze giant fell vertically and crushed Cerberus..
And with four chainsaws, he started cutting off its nape..
quaddd——!
With a bang, the first head was cut off in an instant..
Kaegaeng—Kkegaeng—Kkegaeng—Kkegaeng—!
The remaining two heads howled sadly and ran away with their tails curled..
「I heard that in this country, leashes are required in public places. I think you only need two leashes now, so please keep them even if it's difficult.!」
Someone appeared on top of the bronze giant who said so..
That was Park Jun-mo..
He was holding something heavy..
that was.
"—every! don't move!”
And shot.
Pa-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja——!
At first glance, bundles of blue electricity appear to have been fired indiscriminately.—
However, Park Jun-mo's eyes glowed blue, and precision guidance began..
