The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 131

131fury. 

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

To Lee Hyun-wook, dealing with the undead army was like putting out a big fire..

The fire cannot be extinguished, and grows rapidly by eating nearby vehicles..

However, if there is a way to block the three major elements of combustion, it can be surprisingly easily turned off..

Undead, in most cases, do not die, and the surrounding corpses rise as other undead, adding to the army..

However, if there is 'sacred power', which is the power to weaken the power of death, it can be retired surprisingly easily..

‘……Of course, if the fire was not extinguished in time, it would become an unmanageable disaster..’

A representative example was the necromancer..

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—

However, having predicted this incident, Lee Hyun-wook prepared a plan to prevent the disaster..

'Saint Dom's power can overcome most types of darkness..’

I had visited Lee Hyun-wook once before to help him, but that was a top secret..

In other words, it was natural that it could not be easily predicted that a saint would be waiting for this place..

No, even if I had expected it, I had no choice but to use voodoo magic since I was cornered like this..

Lee Hyun-wook had taken advantage of that very moment and had hidden this enormous support force..

The wight tree guard that strengthens the battle line, becomes a solid wall and is filled with brilliant energy..

"raise your shield—!”

Soon, with Peter Clark's shout, the leading 15 Paladins took a step forward and raised their shields. And in the back row, although they were wearing armor, they were priests and raised their staffs..

"Combined with Holy Light, sprays all at once toward the front.!”

Bright light bursts out from all of the weapons, converging at one point in the air and forming a white sphere..

support support——

Seven rays of thick rays pour out from there, sweeping across the Han River-daero..

keeeeh——!

At this, the hordes of ghouls who were rushing like crazy fell down all at once, as if they had been hit by a headwind. I twisted my body to somehow avoid the beam of light, but no matter what, I couldn't go faster than light..

Like a swarm of ants scattering away from pesticides, they went crazy and twisted their bodies in bizarre ways..

"—Right now.”

The moment Lee Hyun-wook shouted into the Mana Messenger, various magic and arrows spewed out from above his head and rained down on the heads of the scattered ghouls. It was an offensive by the 1st Battalion troops waiting behind..

Kwa-and-and-and-gwang——!

With the heavy drinking, the ghoul's body, which was quite tough, was easily destroyed and could not be regenerated..

"Oh, it works now!”

Since it has already been covered with powerful divine power, not only has the protection of the dark power disappeared, but the overwhelming recovery speed has also decreased significantly, making it possible to inflict damage even with normal attacks..

No matter how powerful a forest fire is, its momentum is bound to be diminished in a rainy environment..

"Now, let's move forward and completely sweep away..”

At Lee Hyun-wook’s command, 43 Living Armor units moved in unison..

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—

And 10 of the leaders raised their large cylindrical machine guns..

‘That's the new weapon that Kang Hee-seol developed a while ago.?’

[Item information]

- Name: Grave Buffalo (Advanced))

- effect

1) Subspace Magazine: You can ‘snap’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace..

2) Subspace Magazine: You can ‘snap’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace..

'Graver Follower, great naming sense.…….'

Anyway, this was a kind of magic machine gun made with a mana power engine installed inside..

It was Lee Hyun-wook's first time seeing the real thing, so he was curious about the extent of its firepower..

And as expected, two sub-spaces were installed, although they were a bit inferior in size with 10 spaces..

Two—two—two—two—two——!

A volley of fire, warheads coated with a thin layer of adamant were fired at the base of the dungeon river, and the ghouls caught in the net were literally pulverized. Although the ghoul was covered in holy light and weakened, it was clear that it had impressive firepower..

‘this… … I need to invest more and mass produce it.?’

If something like that were to increase several times, it would become quite a useful force..

And if it is mass-produced to replace military weapons,…….

‘Even ordinary AMT soldiers will be able to handle powerful firepower regardless of ability..’

An item created through magical engineering like this was not comparable to a regular enchanted rifle..

At that time, some ghouls started dodging the barrage of bullets by climbing on things like building walls or traffic lights..

"Damn, that's so fucking fast!”

It is easy to hit when targeting hundreds of animals moving in groups, but when they move individually like that, the situation is different. They jumped down into the middle of the Living Armor ranks and swung their claws..

Wow—!

The basic level is much higher than that of a ghoul, and the living armor is torn like a tin can..

At that time, Talos stepped forward and swung his four arms around..

Why-ae-ae-ang——!

5~6Mari attacked at the same time, but Talos waved his arm once and was torn apart..

Even after that, those who broke through the fire net with acrobatics instinctively rushed towards the nearest and most threatening Talos, like moths jumping into a shredder..

However, the 'evil spirit seeker' who was born through the oxidation of Dieble also did not suffer with his eyes open..

"He's starting to move, so watch out.!”

The black awls that sprouted from both of his hands flew into the sky and rained down in this direction..

In that attack, the five leading Living Armor units melted like cheese stabbed with a hot fork..

Next, several shots hit Talos, but since it was a body of a different class, it was not destroyed..

「(>3d_d)o I dare, use my precious body... It's a battle!」

Shouting like that, one arm transformed into a cannon shape..

Qua—ang——!

A pillar of red-hot fire shot out, pulverizing a dozen ghouls and then attacking the evil spirit seeker..

But it turned into smoke and soared into the sky, easily dodging the attack..

「and… … (v_v ;;) There will come a day when I can fly too…….」

At that time, a light brighter than anything else burst out from Laputa and caught everyone's attention..

'......It's started?’

That meant that Emilia Müller, the saint who was in Laputa, came forward in person..

In other words, it was the beginning of a proper sacred attack..

A halo of sparkling light spreads across the sky. It was countless arrows of light..

The scene was unrealistic yet beautiful, like the Milky Way blooming..

Soon, arrows of light began to pour down like a waterfall towards the evil spirit seeker..

Burr-burr-burr-burr-burr——!

The person hit by that attack is burning with anxiety, as if he could evaporate at any moment..

Cherrrrrrrr——

Then, several arrows changed their form and became chains of light, binding the guy's limbs. In that state, the arrows continued to hit, inflicting one-sided damage that seemed somewhat cruel..

Ahhh——!

That is the power of a saint... … Everyone looked at the scene with their mouths open..

However, only Han Taesan was glaring somewhere with his arms crossed..

Next, Oh Gyeong-pyo also raised his spear and pointed somewhere..

"But why is that kid staying quiet even though his friends are getting screwed? It's really suspicious.……."

Come to think of it… … Sumakt, that guy didn't step forward even in this melee. Just watching this situation quite leisurely with his ax on his shoulder seemed like he was waiting for something..

"Write, I think Phase 2 is probably starting, that's it.……."

Kang Seo-yoon must have felt something ominous as well, so she muttered that..

At that time, the ‘seeker of evil spirits’, who could not withstand the attack, turned into a sphere and flew away somewhere. In addition, all the ghouls that were still moving oxidized into black energy and soared into the sky..

yes——

The place where all those things were headed was none other than Sumakt—he swallowed it all up..

Then, at first glance, intense energy begins to boil over from his entire body..

The life force energy of all the black orcs present was gathered into Sumakt..

"what… … Could it be that you were waiting for that??”

That wasn't the end.

He took something out of his belt.…….

"ah? that… … I don't know what it is, but it's not good.”

Oh Gyeong-pyo tilted his head at Kang Seo-yoon’s words..

"Representative Kang, what are you seeing this time??”

“……It looks like some kind of potion, the air around it is vibrating..”

Hyunwook Lee was familiar with the liquid that shook the air around the area just by existing, that power..

‘That's nectar?’

Lee Hyun-wook also had the divine drink ‘Nectar’, which was in the hands of that guy..

'If he drinks that, things will get difficult..’

Choi Tae-jun, the head of the alchemy complex's research center, drank it and turned into a terrible monster called 'Molech incarnate'. However, if Sumakt, who is already an overwhelming boss monster, drinks it and gains the body of a god,…….

“……drank.”

wow- wow—

At the same time, its body began to grow bigger and bigger..

"That thing is huge..”

Han Taesan said that and reflexively wrapped a blue flag around both arms..

"No, it's not just gigantism..”

Lee Hyun-wook shook his head..

"Do you know what that thing I just swallowed??”

"Probably, it contains divine power..”

"What is that, all that bullshit.……."

Nectar is a legendary level consumable item, and if the person who takes it is strong enough, he or she will gain the body of a god. If there is a god with whom you have already made a contract, you can borrow some of that god's power..

‘Just as Choi Tae-jun received the power of the devil called Molech and became an incarnation..’

Then, what about Sumact? … It was probably the incarnation of an ‘old god’..

wow- wow—

I could see its spine writhing, then it transformed and instantly grew to about 10 meters. And near the chin, something tentacle-like grew out like a beard, perhaps in the shape of an ancient god..

That's it——!

Then, his right arm snaps and breaks with a sound, and black bones sprout from inside it..

Blah blah blah——

The bones twisted like vines and transformed into the shape of a giant hammer. It reaches about 7m in length..

- Black Orc Warrior Commander Sumakt: Great Warrior of an Unknown Ancient God (LV) : 171)

……The level is a whopping 171.

Since Black Orc King Stonnox was 175, they were virtually equal..

In addition, he was a much more difficult opponent as he possessed the power of the ‘Ancient God’..

‘Shit, how do I hold that thing??’

This was a development that even Lee Hyun-wook did not expect..

‘171At this level, most attacks can't even make a dent..’

At that time, he took a step forward and recklessly swung the bone hammer in his right hand..

"uh—!

Qua—ah—ah—ah——!

Then a magical storm arises and everything on the floor rises into the sky..

Seoul Culture Station and Seoul Station L-Mart, located in the right radius of the place, will be completely uprooted..

And the railroad bent like a taffy stick and soared into the air like a ladder..

"Power, 1st Link Spell—Cast Holy Guard!”

yes——

If the saint and all of the wight tree guards had not gathered their strength in that split second to create a sacred shield, everyone present would have been swept away by the storm..

"The duration of this 'Holy Guard' is approximately 60 seconds.!”

Peter Clark shouted and ordered his men to prepare teleportation magic for escape..

"under… … Crazy—what can I do to catch that??”

"Didn't you just see that? It seems like the only answer is retreat..”

Skeptical here and there... … No, actually, a terrified voice was heard..

"I think we'll have to bring all the troops on Ganghwa Island and conduct a large-scale raid.."

"But then Seoul will also be lost... … Even Laputa can fly..”

"Damn, since it's a war event in the first place, it's natural that the final boss is ridiculously strong.……."

Meanwhile, the 'Holy Guard' hanging overhead began to blink and fade..

"uh… … 60 seconds, I think it's almost done.?”

Thump—thud—

Beyond it, a 14m tall sumakt was approaching..

At that time, after much thought, Lee Hyun-wook came up with a method that was in fact the last resort..

“……Emilia, can you hear me??”

- No, what on earth is that?—!

A voice filled with irritation and embarrassment screeched..

She would be looking down on this place from Laputa right now..

But since something like that appeared, even Laputa wasn't safe..

"There is a way to do anything, so please focus on healing so you don't die..”

At those words, everyone looked at Hyunwook Lee..

- Don't you know what my title is? That's my specialty. But who is it, King Kwon??

"That person should also care, but... … Because I could die..”

- You're good at running away, why do you have to die??

"Oh, you won't die like that. Well, it could be a method close to suicide by poisoning..

- ……yes? I didn't drink much today, why am I hearing bullshit??

Lee Hyun-wook brought an AD-2 behind his back and took something out of it..

[Item information]

- Name: Nectar (Legendary))

- Effect: Unknown

‘I also have nectar.’

This was an item obtained from a secret facility inside the Gangdong-gu alchemy complex..

Someday, when the alchemy industry has developed properly, I planned to process it well and use it.…….

‘There are serious side effects if you drink it raw, but there is nothing you can do about using it.…….'

There was 150mL in this bottle, so I only had to drink a very small amount of it..

And I brought out another item that is a real reason to drink nectar..

Tsutsutsutsu——

2.5It was a black spear about a meter long, and it was one piece from the handle to the tip..

And the black shimmer spreading out was quite a gloomy thing..

[Item information]

- Name: Ge Bolg (Legendary))

- effect

1) Spear of Death: If you infuse mana after hitting a javelin, it will release a 'thorn of death'.

* caution! In some cases, using this skill may result in ‘death’..

G6e Bolg: A harpoon or javelin said to have been used by Cu Chulainn, a great hero in Celtic mythology. It is said that 50 thorns come out the moment you hit it, so anyone hit by it will never survive..

‘Since it is such an incredible item, the overhandicap is enormous..’

At that time, Kang Seo-yoon, who recognized the identity of the item, approached with startled rabbit eyes..

"wait for a sec… … That's what I'm trying to write now.?”

"Wasn’t it given to me to use??”

“Oh, no, that’s true, but… … You know, that's……."

4During the Cha Wave, she offered up a crab Bolg owned by the Zmunnarae Guild as a reward, and Lee Hyun-wook got it..

“……The price of using that spear, over handicap, is life force..”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded to indicate that he knew..

"And no one has been able to use the skills properly yet..”

In other words, it was a legendary grade weapon, but it was a joke..

It is a powerful weapon that consumes vitality just by using a basic attack..

But if you use a skill called Spear of Death... … It consumes an incredible amount of vitality..

"Taehyuk Kim, the hero who used that skill, is still suffering from the aftereffects..”

Taehyuk Kim, the hero, was the man who threw this spear at the Twin Head Ogre Champion during the Gwangmyeong Ogre Battle. He was the 5th ranked Korean player at the time and was the strongest tank that transformed into a white tiger. That day, he shocked the world by throwing this spear and killing a level 98 boss monster with a single blow.......

"After throwing the spear, his body began to disintegrate and he was evacuated to Saint Dom..”

And even though he received intensive treatment for six months with the help of the World Tree, he never recovered..

"Lee Hyun-wook, if you use that now, you will definitely die..”

At that time, Han Taesan approached..

"Hyunwook Lee, it would be better for me to write it rather than for you..”

He said that with a rather serious expression. Even if it were him, he would suffer serious physical damage if he used this. But he knew that in this situation, there was no one who could handle it but himself..

"Taesan Han, you are the only one who can tie that guy up to hit this spear..”

Hyunwook Lee said that, unfastened his belt and shoulder strap and held them out..

"Using this will double your strength. Oh, I'm borrowing it..”

Next, he took out the ‘World Tree Hook’, which greatly increases the pulling power..

"Please tie that guy down with this. Then I'll aim for his heart..”

Meanwhile, the Holy Guard disappeared, and Sumakt rushed in as if he had been waiting..

Thump—thump—thump—thud—

"Damn it, avoid everyone.!”

Lee Hyun-wook grabbed the spear and soared into the air..

support support——

My hands are full, it's an unpleasant pain and a strength that is difficult to bear is building up..

‘If I use this on my body right now, I will definitely die..’

He opened the bottle of nectar and took a very small sip..

- caution! you have taken the drink of god.

* I don't yet have the ability to handle the power of transcendence.!

"......."

Lee Hyun-wook couldn't even moan due to the pain that felt like his whole body was being cut..

Then I turned on Mana Messenger and barely opened my mouth to say one word..

"Heel please……."

The moment he said that, a beam of light came down from the sky and covered Lee Hyun-wook's entire body..

“omg—!”

- Damn it, what did I eat that suddenly destroys my entire body? It's really suicide by poisoning, what is it?!

This meant that while the nectar was being absorbed, the unsuitable body was collapsing in real time..

He probably deserved to die before being completely absorbed, but the story was different because there was a saint..

Burning cells and nervous system recover in real time, giving a strange feeling of pleasure..

So, in effect, it was forced to be absorbed.…….

- congratulations! You have absorbed the divine drink ‘nectar’.

* Permanently increases all abilities slightly.. (+10%)

* 30All abilities increase significantly for a minute. (+300%)

* 30Becomes ‘immune’ to all abnormal status effects for a minute.

* 30Becomes 'immune' to all mental curses for a minute.

I truly feel an overwhelming force shaking through my whole body..

"after… … Emilia, thank you for the heels. But I need one more heal.”

Lee Hyun-wook raised the black spear held in his right hand, Gebolg.

Tsutsutsutsu——

Although his body was strengthened, the moment he threw this spear, his body would collapse again..

- However, if you die safely, you can be resurrected. Although I can't avoid being crippled,."

"Well, that's reassuring..”

Lee Hyun-wook took a breath, lifted the Gebolg, and ascended higher into the sky..

‘This is gambling talk.’

As always, from beginning to end, there was no way things would go as he expected..

This time too, some variables arose, but fortunately, there was a way to respond..

and… … If you could catch something like that, there would be a huge reward..

In other words, Hyunwook Lee was actually gambling..

however......

- (!) Main quest has been updated.

'……quest?’

- congratulations! You can get hints for the main quest.

* Conditions: Hunt the Black Orc warrior general Sumakt, ‘Great Warrior of the Unknown Ancient God’.!

‘I think I'm on the right track.…….'
