The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 136
136fury.
==================================
The mighty power of death that engulfed Ganghwa Island in an instant…….
Surprisingly, the person who noticed the sign first was outside Ganghwa Island..
‘huh? what? what is happening now?’
That was the saint, Emilia Müller..
She was waiting in Laputa as Lee Hyun-wook suggested. However, she sensed the sanctity of Ganghwa Island's sacred tree, Shindansu - she attempted to communicate, and as a result, she sensed the secretly burgeoning power of death..
'......Something is happening in Ganghwa Island.?’
She was sensitive to the power of the 'dark series'. Since the source of her power came from their pain, it could be said that she had the same sense as a hunter chasing down her prey..
'This is the power of death... … How can you be so strong?’
But this time, I felt my heart tremble like a hunter in front of a wild beast..
As such, a very dark energy was skillfully encroaching on the southern part of Ganghwa Island..
She judged that at this level, there was a high possibility that even Lee Hyun-wook would not be able to overcome it..
‘i need help.’
She exhaled slowly, opened her eyes, and stood up..
"Peter, how long will it take if we leave for Ganghwa Island right now??”
Peter Clark's eyes widened at those words..
"yes? What do you mean by that suddenly??”
Then Yeo Sang-min, who was standing nearby, joined in and waved his hand..
"Look, there is a battle going on in Ganghwa Island right now, so it’s dangerous..”
"I know that. But something serious could happen soon and we could all die..”
Her claim felt like a somewhat absurd claim without any basis at the moment. Yeo Sang-min frowned and looked into space..
The sight of a distant corpse was confirmed..
“Well, there's my alter ego there and I'm looking at it and, uh... … I don't see anything like that.?”
What he was watching was a scene where Lee Hyun-wook was dealing with James Bernard from the future..
As Lee Hyun-wook was beaten unilaterally, no major crisis was detected..
"Emilia, are you okay? I haven’t even had a drink since yesterday……."
This time, even Peter Clark joined in and said something that seemed to doubt her opinion..
Emilia Müller's face scrunched up as neither of them readily believed her words..
“Ah— I'm not in my right mind because I don't drink alcohol.?”
"Oh, no, I didn't mean that, I meant it was unusual, yes.!”
"Is there anyone here who senses dark forces better than me? huh?”
No one could refute those words.
"That's not it... … Didn't you tell me earlier that Stillane was dangerous and to wait??”
"Even if I survive by hiding, if I search out everyone there, it's game over anyway. If Lee Hyun-wook dies, our future plans will be useless. You know very well.?”
It meant that if she went out this violently, no one could stop her..
Peter Clark eventually picked up his sword and shield and ordered his adjutant to prepare to move..
"Emilia, but it will take at least 30 minutes to get there..”
Even if you flew in a straight line using the skyway, it was bound to take some time..
"No, it will be too late by then..”
"But there is currently no faster way.”
At that moment, her eyebrows twitched wildly..
"shit… … It's already starting.”
She could feel that Shindansu was surrounded by the power of death and began to groan..
Has there ever been a being that wields the power of death to this degree??
Whatever it was, he was the only one who could stand against this power of death..
"Then there must be one way..”
She took out an item from her pocket..
[Item information]
- Name: World Bridge (special)
- Effect: When infusing mana, opens an ultra-wide teleport to the ‘registered location’.
This was a return item created by Donald Harry, the manager of the World Tree..
"I'm going back to St. Dom right now..”
“Oh, no way……."
"Yes, tell them to prepare all troops..”
As Emilia Müller said that, someone came up behind her..
"Then please take us with you too..”
This voice was Sehee Kim. And Park Jun-mo and Lee Jeong-jun were standing behind her..
***
Since the world turned into a game, sudden disasters called events have occurred from time to time..
Therefore, facing unexpected situations has become a daily routine for players..
“……Anyway, there has to be something called a ‘prediction category’, what kind of bullshit development is this?!”
Someone shouted as if screaming.
No one expected that right after the war ended, we would be surrounded by an undead army..
"Damn, the whole place is full of fucking black smoke.!”
Shindansu, the white aura emitted by that sacred tree was forming a ‘sacred shade’.,
Inside were 87 domestic and foreign support players and 91 ROKAMT troops..
You become addicted to the black smoke 'breath of the abyss' that surrounds you and suffers a huge debuff..
Of course, that alone wouldn't kill him, but the problem was that there was an army of undead lurking inside..
"crazy… … It's buzzing like a swarm of ants. Does this make sense??”
A marksman player used his clairvoyance skill to see through the smoke and said:.
rattle- rattle—
Legions of undead were approaching from almost every direction..
The shadows stopped at a certain distance and formed ranks like Roman legions..
In other words, it meant a systematic army under the control of intelligence..
"Damn, so how many are there in total??"
"that is… … I don't know.”
“hmm? Are you not seeing it to that extent??”
"No, there are countless..”
The black orcs who had fallen in the previous battle rose up completely as undead..
In this case, it was virtually impossible to break through through the ground..
"under......."
Even for players who have experienced all kinds of hardships, this situation was terrifying..
"Well, this tree is a transcendental object, so I don’t think it can hold up well.?”
“Well, it's not a world tree, it just appeared... … Soon this place too will be conquered.”
That was right. The shade of the sacred tree was like an ‘air pocket’ inside a sinking ship..
It may somehow provide some breathing room for now, but it will soon be gone.…….
"It is said that the troops waiting in the northern part of Ganghwa Island have now departed.!”
however…….
Slowly! Less and less!
Soon, the sound of bones colliding began to echo loudly from all directions and grow louder..
And green eye lights rise one by one above the black fog, becoming increasingly darker..
I guess… … Hoping for safety until outside help arrived seemed like a vain hope..
At that time, someone's voice rang from above my head..
"—Everyone, come to your senses and prepare for battle.!”
It was Kang Seo-yoon who shouted that..
She was standing on top of Pridwen, floating on the altar tree..
“Why are you all so dumbfounded? This is familiar! Tank comes forward, Priest goes back!”
Then, as if he had come to his senses, triumphant voices came from everywhere..
"That's right, we're not amateurs. Let's get it right.!”
"Well, we're not people who get scared in most situations.?”
Until the previous war, people who had worked individually and tried to take care of their own share began to work as a team. The crisis we were facing now required bipartisan cooperation..
"ruler! Gunners, prepare your skills and wait for my command.!”
And it was clear that the famous Foxy, Kang Seo-yoon, was a trustworthy conductor..
She was the 4th ranked player in Korea and the master of the guild..
Also, isn't there a history of being the top person in charge of the 4th wave response headquarters??
however…….
Slowly! Less and less!
Even though the undead army was approaching close by, she did not give the order to fire..
I didn't even draw my bow... … The players' breathing gradually became heavier..
"Hey, what are you waiting for??”
Finally, someone got impatient and asked.
Then the large man standing in the tank line turned his head and made a bitter sound..
“Ah—if you don’t notice, just shut up and wait.?”
He was Han Taesan.
"......."
In fact, he is chosen as the world's strongest bruiser... … The players did not dare to object.
Meanwhile, Han Taesan slightly raised his head and glanced somewhere..
Only then did some players realize what he meant by waiting..
"ah… … It's stillrain! He is preparing a large room..”
In the sky, Stellar weapons were moving like a flock of seabirds discovering a school of sardines..
And as soon as his left hand reached the ground, steel weapons struck straight down..
"Yes, it pours.!”
Sh—sh—sh—sh—sh——!
At that moment, a black dome formed above the heads of the undead army..
“uh?”
“ah!”
Those who faced the devil's army at Jeju Island International Airport knew what it was..
Those wide-area shield skills created by priests of death are almost impenetrable..
In other words, if it had been fired recklessly, most of the firepower would have been absorbed by that shield.—
However, if weapons containing as many as three levels of divine power take the lead in 'Argetlam',.......
T-that-that-that-that-jeong——!
The black dome was hit dozens of times per second and then completely shattered..
In other words, a ‘gap’ was created to insert firepower..
At that moment, Kang Seo-yoon opened her mouth and pulled the strings..
“shoot——!”
At her shout, all the players fired their loaded skills..
All kinds of skills were tangled together, and the sky was colored with mysterious colors..
They follow different orbits and pour into the dome..
Thump—thump—thump—thump—thud——!
The tremendous tyranny occurred, the breath of the abyss was pushed out, and visibility was secured..
Then I saw hundreds of undead being swept away, falling over and being crushed..
Next, Lee Hyun-wook's steel weapon began to move around inside the dome..
In just a few tens of seconds, he succeeded in completely wiping out the undead that approached the area..
"nice… … Really, one firepower is Steele Rain.!”
“Okay, steel rain is enough to wipe out the undead army.!”
Before we knew it, vitality began to bloom on the players' faces..
This was something I thought was possible..
but…….
Tsutsutsutsu——
A strange sound, like the whisper of an evil spirit, rang out quietly........
rattle- rattle—
Green light bloomed from all directions, and Unde's shattered body began to be reassembled..
"uh? Those weren't all weapons filled with divine power.?”
"Yes, that's right! That's what a priest like me can see……."
What was generally known was that divine power neutralized dark forces..
'That's true. The two properties are similar to the relationship between fire and water..’
However, if the fire is overwhelmingly strong, it will evaporate the water and bloom again..
Like that, no matter how divine power is, it cannot overcome if the power of darkness is strong..
Of course, if this situation continues, one day the body itself will be completely purified.…….
It was unclear how many times it would have to be retired before that happened..
‘And above all, there are too many corpses around here now..’
A battlefield where a fierce battle takes place and corpses are piled up is the optimal environment for a necromancer..
In other words, his army will never run out as his corpses continue to be 'refilled'..
In other words, the necromancer on the battlefield was not something that could be conquered through a struggle of strength..
So, what is the best way to attack it??
Lee Hyun-wook knew that well..
‘There it is.’
At that very moment—something caught Hugin's senses..
The moment when a large number of undead troops were retired with a single blow.—
I sensed a powerful death magic being activated somewhere in the distance..
Those were clearly the 'Priests of Death' who hid behind them right after they appeared..
‘But are those all there are??’
But that wasn't what Lee Hyun-wook was looking for..
He amplified his senses again and scanned the area..
But no results were achieved.
'……No way, there is no necromancer here.?’
The surest way to end that undead army is to kill the ‘subject of the spell’..
In other words, necromancer… … If you tear that bastard to pieces, the undead army will not come back to life..
'For that purpose, four Mogleys were launched high in the sky..’
To put all four bullets on top of his head.…….
But it seemed like he wasn't really here..
‘This means that he has already grown to the point where he can transfer his power to his generals.…….'
If the power is distributed among several subordinates, the method of targeting the orderer will be canceled out..
pop! pop! pop! pop!
At that time, black spheres shoot out from somewhere within the breath of the abyss..
Looking at it with Hugin's senses, the troll skeletons were firing some kind of cannon..
They exploded in the sky - between AD-2.
'shit.......'
Lee Hyun-wook reacted quickly, but seven AD-2s were caught in the attack and melted..
Cheeeeee——
'……First, we must respond with firepower..’
As we judged earlier, there was no time now to select and eliminate the orderers..
If we reacted so cautiously, the shadow of the sacred tree would eventually take over..
This match… … It was so disadvantageous. Because Lee Hyun-wook has something to protect..
‘Perhaps this time, they came with the goal of being newer than me..’
Since they knew that Shindansu had appeared here, they wanted to eradicate it as early as possible..
If Lee Hyun-wook even embraces sanctity, it will be a much bigger problem..
‘Yes, I will definitely make it happen.…….'
Lee Hyun-wook stretched out both hands and dropped all the metal floating in the sky at once..
And they moved like waves and collided head-on with the undead army..
Qua—and—and—and—and—and——!
A harsh crash sounded and sparks flashed everywhere, everywhere..
Even though the Necromancer's undead army was torn and crumbled, it rose again, engulfed in green smoke..
Even though Lee Hyun-wook's steel weapon was broken and broken, it melted and came together again and flew up..
The smell of blood, rot, and burning metal emanating from corpses mixed together and covered the battlefield..
Qua—and—and—and—and—and——!
So, the fierce collision was constantly repeating as if it would never end..
"This… … It's an infinite, infinite fight..”
someone said so.
Like the clash of a fire that never goes out and an infinite supply of water.,
It was a battle of power versus power, with neither side giving up..
But there is no eternal symmetry.
In the end, I had no choice but to lean to one side..
