The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 130
130fury.
=======================================
Between the tragically collapsed buildings, hundreds of black orcs were gathered together..
It was supposed to be an elite detachment among the Black Orc legions that invaded this land..
But they're just standing in line with their weapons in hand, and haven't taken any action yet..
In that case, in a situation where steel plates were hitting all around, even the most impatient fighting race would have watched the situation carefully and decided that it was right to move..
But that judgment turned out to be poisonous..
The moment Lee Hyun-wook lifted Mjolnir and the sky began to flash, several Black Orcs realized.
The iron plates that were hit all over the place just now are huge steel cages that imprison them.,
If things continue like this, they will be slaughtered by Lee Hyun-wook once again.…….
That's it——!
Starting with the shouts of the boss monster, warrior general Sumakt, the black orcs raised their weapons..
Soon, more than a dozen javelins were aimed precisely at Hyunwook Lee’s heart..
But Lee Hyun-wook was faster. He lifted his iron plate and placed it around his body..
Thong—thong—thong—thong—
At the same time, he raised Mjolnir and induced a 'storm of fire'..
- caution! A ‘storm of flames’ begins in the area!
Red clouds began to gather in the sky.
No, to be exact, it wasn't a cloud..
Hwaaaaa——!
It was a kind of plasma mass, and should have been called a bundle of flames..
'This… … This is the wide area skill that Phaethon used..’
Hyunwook Lee recalled the hellish heat he experienced on Jeju Island. I don't know what level this skill is at levels 1 to 5, but if it explodes this close, it would be difficult to resist..
‘It is much more lethal in places like this where there is no cover..’
As if sensing something strange, Dieble-Stonox's puppet raised both arms..
At that moment, dozens of black orcs standing around him grabbed his neck and vomited blood..
And then something like black smoke came out from inside the mouth and was sucked into Diable's grasp..
Immediately after, Dieble stretched out both hands to the sky.—
yes——!
This time, a large-scale defensive black dome bloomed and covered the Black Orc army..
‘I knew it…….'
Lee Hyun-wook expected this and immediately dropped three Mogleis that had been previously floating in the sky at the same time..
It may not be as powerful as falling from a low altitude, but there is still a 'shockwave' left..
Zeng——! Zeng——! Zeng——!
The powerful shock wave that erupted upon impact blew away the upper layer of the black dome as if peeling off its shell..
‘It's now!’
At that moment, bundles of red flames gathered from the sky swirled and struck down..
Qua—ah—ah—ah—ah——!
Cuts right into the middle of the Black Orcs' ranks like a blender's blade..
Qua—ah—ah—ah—ah——!
Hundreds of black orcs could be seen opening their mouths at the same time due to that wide-ranging blow..
Facial expressions full of pain... … He was probably screaming as loud as he could..
But I couldn't hear anything. Because a storm and a loud sound covered the whole world..
- Earn achievement points by killing Black Orc elite warriors. (+13)
- Earn achievement points by killing Black Orc elite warriors. (+12)
- Earn achievement points by killing Black Orc elite warriors. (+11)
Only the system message of merit points made me realize the power of this skill..
The asphalt in the area melted stickily and flew along the hot wind, forming a black spiral.,
All kinds of stone fragments scattered everywhere rose up, creating a sandstorm as big as a building..
Kwa-and-and-and-and——!
The firestorm has a smaller range than the one used by Phaethon, but it is no less powerful than the heat..’
Lee Hyun-wook also felt the unbearable heat and stepped back..
After about 30 seconds, the chlorine storm died down and the heat began to slowly dissipate..
At that time, I heard the voices of Kang Seo-yoon and Han Tae-san from behind..
"Well, that's not the technique that Phaethon used.?”
"you … … What on earth did you pick up on Jeju Island??”
They both couldn't hide their surprise and asked one after another..
Oh Gyeong-pyo followed suit and wiped the sweat from his forehead..
“Crazy, I can't even come to my senses... … Is this the end??”
However, Kang Seo-yoon shook her head and hung an arrow on the bowstring..
“Tsk, unfortunately both boss monsters are perfectly fine, so don't relax..”
"huh? No, is it true that you are fine even in that crazy heat??”
"I wish it weren't so, but I can see it. It's standing upright over there..”
As she was a top level shooter player, she was able to sense the invisible..
Gooooo.......
How long did it take? Soon, the chlorine storm completely subsided and a destructive scene unfolded..
As if recreating the tragedy at the ruins of Pompeii, fossils of painful struggles were tangled together..
But in between them, as Kang Seo-yoon said, two figures stood tall..
"Ugh——”
A moan that feels more like anger than pain... … The two boss monsters, Sumact and Dieble, seemed to have sacrificed the lives of many Black Orcs even for a split second to surround their bodies with a protective shield..
"Damn, I'm sick of it... … What kind of trick did they use to make it look so fine??”
Oh Gyeong-pyo adjusted the spear holder and ground his teeth..
"Now, it's a boss monster, so we're nervous too.—”
At that moment, Sumakt raised his battle ax and struck the floor..
Qua—and—and—and——!
The asphalt road, already distorted, surges like a wave and rushes at you..
“—I block it!”
Oh Gyeong-pyo stepped forward and thrust out his spear with all his might..
Hung——!
A sharp force of wind rose from the tip of his spear and pierced the center of the asphalt wave..
Then, as if hit by a tranquilizer gun, the forward speed of the waves slowed down noticeably..
but—
bang! bang! bang! bang!
As Sumakt continues to strike with his axe, the ground liquefies and rushes like a river during the rainy season..
"Uh, sorry, that's a bit……."
Those standing there threw themselves in all directions..
At that moment, it kicked off the floor and flew up..
"Lee Hyun-wook, be careful because this guy is targeting you.—!”
Kang Seo-yoon screamed and rolled on the floor while shooting an arrow at Sumakt..
Sh—sh—sh—sh——
However, Sumakt knocked out four arrows with just a wave of his hand and then raised his ax towards Lee Hyun-wook. Lee Hyun-wook sharpened the steel plates that had been floating around his body and then fired them..
"I dare tear you apart on a mere human subject.—!”
He hit them all as if he was swinging a baseball bat and flew in like a cannonball..
‘Damn, this is kinda dangerous..’
Lee Hyun-wook had a hunch as he took it out. If you get within the range of that 2m axe, you will definitely die..
At that time, another figure appeared right next to Lee Hyun-wook..
“—Stay out of the way!”
Han Taesan, he flew next to Lee Hyun-wook..
Lee Hyun-wook also stepped back without any regrets and gave him his seat..
"……I'll give it up.”
Then Han Taesan snorted..
"Damn, what a concession, you almost broke your head.!”
During the Jeju Island Phaethon Raid, Han Taesan's predictions were all proven wrong. But this time he was right. Getting tangled up with a level 142 warrior-type boss monster was crazy..
‘If I get tangled up even for a moment, I'll get crumpled..’
No matter how much stronger you are than a typical warrior player, that is a wall you cannot overcome. In the first place, there would be no flare in this place other than Han Tae-san that could fight that monster..
Immediately after, the two figures, Han Taesan and Sumakt, became entangled in a parabola in the air..
He dodged the ax blade flying diagonally and kicked the guy in the stomach with a front kick..
Wow - billion——!
Hit, a sonic boom occurred for an instant and Sumakt's body flew vertically and hit the ground..
“Pfft—"
However, Han Taesan stumbled as he landed on the floor. His ankle was turned at a right angle..
He adjusted the twisted ankle without even touching it, then placed it on the floor and gently rotated the ankle..
"That bastard… … It's been a while since I aroused the desire for a challenge.……."
"Mr. Taesan Han, it would be better to use joint techniques to deal with him if possible..”
Lee Hyun-wook did not have the strength to tangle with Sumakt, but he had sufficient knowledge of close combat..
It is often said that the only technique that allows humans to subdue gorillas is the choke. That also applies to the current case. Of course, even that has a very low probability of success.…….
"I know that, man, but do you have something else hidden??”
That wasn't sarcasm; rather, it was a secret expression of hope that if there was such a thing, it would be brought out quickly..
"Last time on Jeju Island, I unluckily pulled out something stupid, huh? Not this time?”
"......."
"If you don’t have anything, don’t show off and just stay, for real this time… … I could die.”
There was something like that, but I wasn't ready to bring it up yet..
At that time, Sumakt stood up and everyone became nervous..
"Everyone, stay alert..”
That monster can cover hundreds of meters in one go just by kicking the floor from its place..
Thump—thump—thump—thud—
But something like a heartbeat began to sound like an earthquake from where the guy was. And at first glance, I could feel its body expanding, with veins writhing like snakes all over its body..
"Fuck, you're already as hard as a dog, strengthen it one more time?”
Taesan Han let out an uncharacteristic complaint..
He had just figured out the guy's strength after just one clash, and realized that he couldn't possibly win. And since that is a boss monster, there will be additional ‘phases’ in the future.…….
"You know that you should raid, not fight, a guy like that.?"
“……I know too, stop nagging me, it's already annoying..”
In that respect, it was impossible for even Han Taesan to hold onto Sumakt one-on-one..
No, boss monsters were not designed to be defeated alone in the first place..
‘Still, if Han Taesan is tanking and others attack, you will be able to attack somehow..’
But the problem was that there was more than one boss monster here..
It’s not a ‘war event’ for nothing. It meant that there were more than one thing to worry about..
Sure enough, in the meantime, Dieble-Puppet was also preparing something..
Lee Hyun-wook headed towards that guy and made the Moglei that had been secretly floating in the air crash down..
But the moment he waved his hand, huge black hands appeared from the shadows beneath his feet..
Okay! Okay! Zeng!
And then he pushed away the flying Moglei..
It's so easy to knock that heavy thing off. After all, the boss monster is a boss monster..
Then, he ripped off the prayer beads around his neck and swallowed one of them.—
"Wow—!”
Red light explodes from its mouth, and black smoke rises from its entire body..
- caution! Ancient voodoo begins in the area!
‘As expected, they use that one.?’
Voodoo, to put it simply, was a necromancy that raised the undead. Death magic comparable to that of a necromancer... … Of course, unlike the Necromancer, which is a basic skill, it required a huge price..
chamberlain—
Wow…….
Dieble, a puppet but still carrying the title of boss monster, makes me shudder..
Then, a red light appeared from both eyes, and in an instant, it turned into ashes and disappeared.
And from within the ashes, a shadow stirs and slowly rises..
- Demon Seeker (LV). ???)
‘This is a skill that turns corpses around you into ghouls by sacrificing your own life..’
This is a technique used by fanatical shamans who believe in the ancient gods when they are cornered..
However, if the boss monster level was a shaman, the scale would be on a different level..
Soon, the corpses of the black orcs, which had been frozen like fossils, began to twist and move..
Knock-knock-knock-knock—
Even those who were busy watching out for Sumakt noticed the phenomenon and turned their heads..
"Holy shit, what is that?!”
Oh Gyeong-pyo let out a curse and took a step back..
Even at first glance, there was an unusual energy in the air..
Wow——!
"That… … It's a ghoul!”
Ghoul, a high-ranking undead species, was a monster so powerful that it could not be compared to zombies..
"what? It makes sense that hundreds of them become ghouls at once.?”
"So, it must be a boss monster. It's driving me crazy, really.……."
And depending on which being is transformed into a ghoul, it exerts a wide variety of powers..
But if it's the Black Orc, the best warrior monster... … A really tough opponent..
Wow——!
Screams that seemed to tear the eardrums rang out all at once, creating a bizarre resonance..
They began to crawl out of the pit, moving their charred bodies..
And then they started running like crazy like a pack of rabid wild dogs..
Kueheh— Kueheh—
- Black Orc Ghoul (LV. 85)
A whopping level 85 per animal... … There are at least four hundred of them..
That was an attack that could not be stopped under any circumstances..
“……we have to retreat!”
Kang Seo-yoon, who sensed this, screamed like a scream..
Then, a translucent fox tail bloomed behind his back and he fired arrows as many times as he could..
Bur—bur—bur—bur——!
White fox fire flowed from where her arrow struck, creating a whirlwind..
Anyang Duo then applied overlapping buffs to each other, and the shooter - Kang Jun-seong fired his gun..
Ta-da-da-da-da——!
The ghouls bounced around due to the series of wide-area attacks..
But even if their limbs were cut off, they continued to run without stopping..
Kueheh— Kueheh—
……There was no way to stop the advance of the Legion of Death, which was governed solely by slaughter and appetite..
"Hantaesan—you must avoid it right now!”
At her words, Han Tae-san, who looked like he was going to rush at Sumakt at any moment, turned away without pouting..
"I feel really shit today……."
He said that and glanced at Lee Hyun-wook..
However, Lee Hyun-wook did not show any change in expression..
"You bastard... … What else is there?”
***
At the same time, a battle was taking place on Ganghwa Island. The main battlefield was suddenly moved to the center of Seoul, and both boss monsters were eliminated, giving the player a huge advantage in the battle..
"I can't figure out what that bastard is thinking. What should I do now??”
In the middle of a battlefield where all kinds of heavy drinking took place, a man said a lot of evil things..
But his nerves seemed to be focused on something else entirely, not the battle at hand..
"Hyunwook Lee… … I don't understand how they get away with this every time without taking the bait..”
He is a player named Yu Jun from a Chinese guild, and he participated in this battle..
However, it was a disguised identity, and in fact, he was a member of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security's private organization 'Amseong'..
"Don't worry too much, the old man predicted that this operation would definitely succeed.?”
Next to him, a middle-aged man carrying a large crossbow spoke. He was also one of the secret agents of the cancer castle, and they were one of the male and female villain teams deployed to assassinate Lee Hyun-wook in this war..
"Oh, the old man said that he had invested heavily in this operation after his discussion with the Black Orc King.?”
"Yeah, I've heard a few things, but there's honestly no chance that Hyunwook Lee can stop them all..”
Even though he clearly watched Lee Hyun-wook's activities, he spoke with confidence..
This was a confidence that was difficult to harbor if there was no solid basis for it..
"hmm… … What are you talking about? Are you talking about God's medicine or drink??”
"God's drink, nectar, it's true that the old man gave you that, but there are a few more..”
bang—!
They walked forward leisurely, easily dodging magic projectiles flying from somewhere..
"Hey, do you see them??”
Far away, knights wearing white full-plate armor were advancing on the two-lane road of the half-ruined city center. Above their heads was an airship called the Five Dragons..
It was the 'ROK AMT Holy Knights', the most famous holy army after Saint Dom's 'Wight Tree Guard'..
"As long as they're all here, we won't have the power to respond to what's happening over there..”
"ah! Now I understand. You're talking about voodoo, the dark magic of the ancient gods.?”
Chinese players were well aware of the horrors of witchcraft, having experienced it during the Shanghai Retrieval War..
"Well, even if it were steelane, it wouldn't have the ability to block it..”
"Yes, a weapon enchanted with divine power alone won't be able to handle it..”
They walked leisurely around the battlefield with the Silence spell on and chuckled..
"So in the end, it will end up being eaten by the undead..”
"oh… … That couldn't be a good ending..”
"Oh, and we also have an American pit bull brother on standby, just in case.?”
***
Kueheh— Kueheh—
Hordes of black orc ghouls run down the road, shaking their limbs so much that their entire body muscles are torn..
"Damn, that's so fucking fast!”
Even a player close to being a superhuman, even a ranker, couldn't be faster than a ghoul..
This was because they ignored physical limitations and ran while destroying the body..
That's why I was struggling to keep the distance away, hitting away things that came close..
At that time, AMT soldiers who were scattered throughout the Seoul Station Square and were taking cover began firing support..
Damn it, don't shoot needlessly, everyone retreat quickly.!”
While running with all her might, Kang Seo-yoon took out the Mana Messenger and warned AMT..
But it seemed like it was already too late. They too would eventually be swept away by the undead wave..
And unless you were a ranker, an attack by a level 85 ghoul was an unbearable disaster..
‘Still, if they disperse, some will survive..’
however…….
"no, wait!”
It was Lee Hyun-wook who shouted that..
- Chick—is there a way??
In response, Colonel Kim Kang-seok asked from the Mana Messenger..
"yes! Get ready for fire support, right now.!”
However, like everyone else, Lee Hyun-wook was running away without looking back..
At the same time, they kept it in check by pouring out steel weapons, but it was literally just a check..
Unless there is strong divine power, there is currently no way to retire them..
Of course, there will be Shinsung players in the AMT unit at Seoul Station Plaza.…….
"No! You can't catch that with simple firepower! It requires tremendous divine power.!”
Lee Hyun-wook nodded at Kang Seo-yoon's question-filled shout..
"yes, there is.”
“……what?”
He raised his head and looked up at Laputa..
“—Yeo Sang-min, it is now.!”
- yes! Ready!
At that moment, the lower part of Laputa opened and a pale light flashed..
That means you can instantly teleport anywhere in Seoul. In other words, someone who had been waiting in Laputa was coming down here. Soon, the beam of light fell right in front of them, onto the Han River..
Qua—ah—ah—ah—ah——
And from within, dozens of human figures walked out..
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—
What appeared in the sky were paladins wearing gray armor..
In the center, a large man stepped forward and raised his visor..
"Stillane, it’s been a while..”
Peter Clarke, Captain of the Wight Tree Guards.
"Peter, you have waited a long time. And thank you.”
At Lee Hyun-wook's words, he pulled out his great sword and lowered his visor..
"Last time we lost, but this time we'll prove what we're made of.."
But that wasn't the end of walking out of that beam of light..
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—
35Behind the hundreds of wight tree guards, gigantic armor was lined up in a row..
that… … It was living armor.
- ‘Master authority’ for Living Armor has been secured. (43/43)
To be exact, they were sacred armor enchanted with the blessing of Saint Emilia Müller..
And at the center of it all was Talos, a bronze sentinel filled with divine power..
「(˘▾˘) Ah—somehow, I feel like my heart has become pious.…….」
Why-ae-ae-ang——!
The four sacred chainsaws roared..
With this, the necromancer's army of death will clash one day.,
A project to counteract this is the Steel Legion with Divine Power.,
It was the moment when the prototype was put into practice for the first time..
