The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 138
138fury.
===================================
The reason why the villains tried so hard to assassinate the saint has been clearly revealed..
‘As expected, the saint is a hard counter when dealing with death types..’
Emilia Müller, an off-level growth player who has reached the peak of the divine series.…….
Come to think of it, Lee Hyun-wook also never really saw her true skills..
A few hours ago, she was in action in Seoul, but in a supporting role..
But at this moment, she was proving why she was called a saint..
Wooooow——
Standing high in the sky, looking down at the earth, pushing away the darkness that had fallen there.
The necromancer, the ultimate weapon that the villain worked so hard to prepare, is not using his power properly..
No matter how powerful a fire may be, it loses its power in front of a flooding river.…….
‘And the divine blessings she grants to my weapons are also incredible..’
Although he had already obtained grade 3 divine power with a fraudulent item called 'Argetlam', as the saint's blessings were added, each weapon was imbued with deep divine power as if held by a B-grade paladin..
‘At the same time, the undead army was noticeably weakened..’
Cheeeeee——
The undead army was writhing in pain under the sacred light shining from the sky. The army still numbers in the thousands and continues to grow, but its momentum has weakened significantly..
‘Now, I will never be pushed back.’
Lee Hyun-wook exhaled slowly and lowered his raised left hand to the floor..
Kwa-and-and-and-and——!
The undead caught in his sight were crushed helplessly like earthenware dolls..
In addition, as the 'Breath of the Abyss' was removed and vision was fully restored, the location of the 'Priests of Death' hiding in the rear was clearly revealed. The Necromancer's power of death was spreading throughout the undead army through them, constantly reviving the retired undead..
‘It acts as a kind of repeater..’
In other words, the target to be eliminated first became clear..
Lee Hyun-wook flew his mogul toward that point..
yes——!
Of course, the priests of death were not so easily defeated..
This time, a black dome bloomed and repelled the falling Mowglai..
Zeng——!
However, when I defended my head like that, the amount of resurrection of the undead army was noticeably reduced. Since the power of death that can be used at any one time is limited, gaps inevitably open up elsewhere..
However, when I defended my head like that, the amount of resurrection of the undead army decreased noticeably..
"ruler! Now, they are noticeably weaker.!”
"Phew— these bastards are finally dying a little easier.!”
Accordingly, the players gathered near Sindansu began to push away the legions of death..
and…….
T-uh-uh-uh——!
Wight Hall, several teleports crashed down from within the huge portal..
What appeared in it was the ‘Wight Tree Guard’, the world’s greatest holy knights..
A total of 124 people… … It was probably the entire force of the Wight Tree Guard gathered together..
"Release all power and divine power to the maximum... … Charge!”
Under the command of the leader, Peter Clark, the knights clad in white aura advanced..
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—
Just by touching the weapons they were wielding, the undead lost their power of death and collapsed..
"Team 2 activates Heavenly Sword.!”
In response, the ten paladins raised their swords, and the beams of light blooming from the tips of the swords tangled together..
yes——
A 10m white, translucent ‘Heavenly Sword’ was created in the air.,
The sword of one of the ten people who gathered their strength was connected by a thin line of light..
"Hmm—!"
When he swung his sword, the heavenly sword moved along his path..
Every time it was swung, dozens of undead were oxidized..
and.......
"Look over there! Support troops have arrived!”
Then, ROK AMT reinforcements from the northern part of Ganghwa Island arrived just in time. Meanwhile, there was also the airship 'Oryongeo' of the 'AMT Holy Knights', a sacred unit as famous as the Wight Tree Guard..
bang! bang! bang! bang!
A bomb enchanted with divine power was fired from the Oryonggeo and exploded in the center of the undead army..
"Okay, this is a great counterattack that goes beyond reviving the knight! let's go!”
The players realized that victory was more than just a breath of fresh air..
Meanwhile, Hantaesan, which had been struggling in a small area, was also running wild as if it had gained some breathing space..
"Really, it's been a series of frustrating events all day today.……."
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
As he beat up Okita Kaito, he also wiped out the hordes of undead that had gathered around him. In the first place, if the space could be used widely, zombies of a higher level were no match for Han Taesan..
Sigh——!
He broke off the Okita Kaito-zombie's limbs and then ripped its head out by its spine..
He then smashed a nearby troll skeleton, swinging its shinbone like a hammer..
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook was looking for someone in that complicated battlefield..
‘You can't miss that guy..’
His target was William Bernard from the future..
After he died, he became a Death Knight..
I couldn't miss the item from the future hanging on that body..
‘There it is?’
Cherrrrrrrr——
Lee Hyun-wook attempted to capture the guy by sculpting chains..
But he swung his bone ax and cut all the chains..
Kang! Gang!
At that time, a wire bounced from the molten metal that was slowly flowing from the floor and tied my ankle..
The moment his movement was blocked, chains flew in from all directions and even restrained his arms..
Then Sudarsana flew in and started grinding the nape of the guy's neck like a spinning saw blade..
go go go go——!
Finally, with a thud, the Death Knight's head was cut off and rolled down the hill..
‘The level is high, but it is not a difficult opponent because it is not a boss monster..’
As long as it wasn't red boned, it was still worth catching even if it was a Death Knight..
Lee Hyun-wook lifted up the entire body of the guy with the head blown off and brought it in front of his eyes..
‘I need to take care of it first..’
This huge bone felt like a comprehensive gift set to Lee Hyun-wook..
He wrapped it up in metal and placed it in the Pridwen..
Meanwhile, the players' counterattack was putting the undead army on the defensive..
"Keep pushing like this—they're falling apart!”
If things continued like this, I thought the battle would be over within a few minutes.…….
"what… … Look over there! I think they're running away?”
Gurgling— Gurgling—
Black hands rose from the bottom, from the black mud, fluttering like seaweed in the sea..
Immediately afterwards, aren't they dragging some undead into the ground??
Realizing that they cannot win, they try to save the high-ranking undead who have become red bones..
“—Block it!”
The sharp-witted players launched an offensive towards that place..
But the speed of being sucked into the mud was much faster than expected..
"Damn it, it's late!”
At the end of that scene, the black slush that had covered the area—the destination of death—vanished as if evaporating..
Then, hundreds of undead who had lost their masters collapsed all at once, like dolls whose strings were loose..
"……uh?”
When the opponent disappeared like that, the players who were advancing furiously had no choice but to stop..
For a moment, there was a strange silence, like a party where the music was suddenly turned off and the lights turned on..
Whoa whoa……
The wind that came down from the nearby mountain passed through the skeleton's skull, making an eerie sound..
“……won, beggar?”
At that moment, cheers erupted from all directions..
Wow——!
A feeling that veteran players have felt for quite some time... … It was a relief.
And I realized that relief was a joy more intense than anything else..
"Wow, isn’t this what a truly dramatic appearance is like??”
Although they were on the verge of annihilation, they achieved a dramatic victory thanks to the miraculous arrival of reinforcements..
This brought me much deeper joy than when I received a relatively large reward..
"Ha, that too with the support of a saint, my goodness.……."
"But I guess the rumor that the saint and Stillane are close is true.?”
Praise for Stillane and the saint continued from everywhere..
"I watched Steele Rain again today in many ways. I'm really a guy in every way……."
"To be honest, I used to hate hogging the items every time, but now I admit it..”
"Well, doesn't it only work properly if someone who can use the item well has it??”
In particular, a strange admiration arose among the support players who were jealous of Lee Hyun-wook..
It was a self-evident fact that without him, we would have been annihilated without being able to hold out until the saint came..
However, Lee Hyun-wook was not relieved, and instead raised the Mana Messenger and communicated with someone..
“Team leader Kyojun Lee, can you hear me? The masks must be running away by now..”
- Yes, we'll be able to capture it towards the coast soon..
When a wight hall opened in the sky and the battle became unfavorable, the villains began to flee. It looked like they escaped inland by opening a short-distance portal, but fortunately, they were caught on a surveillance network that had been set up in advance..
"And there, perhaps, is Red Berserker. You must be careful.”
- The Black Tiger Unit's Special 11 Team has responded, so you won't miss it..
The Black Tiger Unit's Special 11 Team was a unit specializing in anti-player operations..
If they were them, they would have been able to capture the defeated Red Berserker..
‘But once he realizes that he can't escape, he will boldly attempt suicide..’
Lee Hyun-wook knew the guy’s personality well. Surprisingly, he is a poisonous guy who is devoted to the villain organization to his core..
‘Still, if we can save a few, it will be helpful when the day comes when the existence of the villain is revealed to the world........'
Xiaojun, the Chinese player who came to assassinate Lee Hyun-wook, was detained after dispelling his latent magic..
If you stack those guys up one by one, you could one day use them as a 'smoke gun'..
However, Lee Hyun-wook decided that it was still too early to announce the existence of the villain to the world..
‘If you do that, you may face political backlash..’
There was still no way to prove that Gordon Price was the villain..
He was still the world's richest man, a political figurehead, and a key figure in the Guardian..
I had to endure it until I could expose his bare face to the world..
‘But now I have to share secrets with people who are on my side and be prepared..’
That was right then..
Bleep——!
A clear bird's cry filled the sky, and a huge shadow appeared in the sky..
"That… … what?”
Everyone raised their heads in unison..
The first thing that caught my eye was the ‘Ship of Thaeseus’, a 22m airship hundreds of meters in the air..
However, a pair of wings so large that they almost covered it spread out even higher in the sky..
Whoa whoa——!
Huge feather wings that were probably 40 to 50 meters long were coming down toward the ground..
"omg! Hey, what is that?!”
"bird… … But, it’s that big?”
A bird whose size is almost comparable to that of a dragon.…….
And with its appearance, the Wight Hall was closed..
"Well, isn’t that ‘Hresvelg’??”
"huh? The bird that lives at the top of the world tree?”
It was quite a famous story that such a huge bird lived at the top of the world tree. However, because the branches of the World Tree were so vast, even such a gigantic being could not be identified..
"Wait a minute, then it couldn’t be… … The manager of the World Tree has appeared?”
Donald Harris, manager of the World Tree and S-class elementalist.…….
He was judged by the world to be the world's most powerful person at the moment..
‘And one of the reasons the villains have to save themselves is that man..’
The two great figures of the Republic of Chad, the 'Administrator of the World Tree' and the 'Saint', were the villain's hard counters..
As long as the manager of the World Tree was alive after assassinating the saint, even the villain could not run amok..
Later, a legion of dark elves who had completed their conquest of Europe invaded the Republic of Chad..
‘And then, Donald Harris was killed in action..’
At that time, the World Tree falls into the hands of the villain, turning the sacred tree into the devil's tree..
Perhaps, if he had been defeated by the necromancer today, Shindansu would have become a devil's tree..
Hung—— Hung——
As Hrssvelgr hit the ground to land, a strong wind swept across the ground..
thud——!
“Wow—it’s really big.!”
The golden eyes of the giant hawk that landed on the ground scanned the players..
Then, as the large beak slightly opened, low moans came from all over the place..
It felt like a hawk of that size would peck and eat a person like an insect..
And then, behind that guy's back, near the nape of his neck, someone stood up. It was a bald old man wearing a white shirt and jeans. He walked down Hresvelg's left wing as a step..
Jeopuk- Jeobuk—
At this, the players split to the left and right without saying anything and made their way..
"......Mr. Harris, hello..”
Kang Seo-yoon, who seemed to be familiar with him, cautiously approached him and said hello..
"River, it’s been a while..”
After saying a brief hello, I passed her and walked towards Sindansu..
"......."
He glanced at Shin Dansu and then turned his head to look at Lee Hyeon-wook..
"......."
A boring stare without saying anything... … Then everyone followed his gaze and looked at Lee Hyun-wook..
Even though Lee Hyun-wook felt uncomfortable, he had no choice but to approach Donald Harris as if he were attracted to a magnet..
He opened his mouth covered with white beard.
"Stillane, I've been following your moves with interest for some time now, and this is quite surprising..”
He frowned and approached Lee Hyun-wook.
"However, the appearance of Shindansu is not a blessing… … It's a disaster.”
Lee Hyun-wook couldn't help but make a shocked expression at those words..
"What do you mean by that??”
At that time, one of the leaves of the Shindansu tree swayed and fell..
Donald Harris stretched out his right hand and grabbed it lightly..
"You prevented disaster and took blessings in your hands,……."
At that moment, a flame erupted from his fingertips and engulfed the leaf..
Since it was a leaf from a new tree, it did not burn easily.—
Hwareuk——!
Soon, it became a handful of ashes and dispersed..
"......Do you know that this is actually bringing about a bigger disaster??”
