The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 151

151fury. 

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

The guardian of Dragon Lair, a 6m tall giant dressed in black armor, raises a 4m tall sword..

Seo Eunha standing in front of him looked so small that it reminded me of the fight between David and Goliath..

When he holds the giant sword with both hands and swings it, the air in its orbit explodes like a liquid..

Immediately afterwards, the tip of the large sword hit the ground, causing an impact that shook the earth..

Qua—ang——!

The goal was, of course, sad. She threw her body and escaped death by just a single inch..

"Uh oh—"

Afterwards, he struck the large sword diagonally, and she dodged it by leaning back..

king!

The tip of the giant sword scratched her helmet. Even if she was at just the slightest angle, her neck would be blown off..

"her……."

The conversation among those watching could not help but become chilly. How many times have we already had this narrow avoidance??

“……This, this, looks too dangerous.?”

Kim Se-hee clenched her fists and muttered that. She twirled her legs on her shoulders, as if she were also anxious..

I wanted to rush in right now and fight together, but... … I couldn't do that..

bang——!

"That attack... … If I allow it, will my sister be able to endure it??”

"Well, if you hit it right, it could kill you instantly..”

Lee Hyun-wook said such terrible things very calmly..

"yes? Well, then what should I do??”

"That's it, of course you should avoid it..”

Lee Hyun-wook said such obvious and irresponsible words so easily, and Kim Se-hee frowned..

"Don't look at me like that. The basics of boss raids are that they do not fit the ‘main weapon’..”

That giant sword is an attack that is symmetrical to Black Dragon Aji Dahaka's 'Dragon Breath'. To put it simply, attempting to defend itself is an act of suicide, and that attack must be 'avoided' at all costs..

“……It's okay if we don't help at all.?”

"Yes, no matter what happens, you should never get involved..”

1If the one-on-one match is canceled, you will fail to verify your qualifications and will not be able to take the 'Dragon's Egg' in that box. In other words, all they could do was pray that Seo Eun-ha would overcome..

bang——!

The barrage of giant swords continued, and before we knew it, the marble floor was completely crushed and turned into a rugged stone mountain..

bang—!

10As minutes passed, she was only busy dodging attacks and couldn't even mount a single counterattack..

"Ha—I don’t see any signs of a twist..”

"If we continue like this, we will eventually allow an attack.……."

Pessimistic voices came from everywhere. They glanced at Lee Hyun-wook. It was hoped that he would reconsider his decision before a terrible disaster occurred. It seemed like an all-out offensive was needed right now..

But Lee Hyun-wook slowly shook his head..

"No, we're not being pushed back yet..”

“……yes?”

"I just understand it well enough..”

Lee Hyun-wook knew Seo Eun-ha better than anyone else. To be precise, he knew the future Seo Eun-ha well..

Although she may not be as good now as she was then, she was still the most talented tank player..

‘Seo Eun-ha was the best guardian who blocked attacks and blocked infiltration by enemies targeting me..’

She was a very strong key defender, like the center back position in soccer.,

Rather than simply blocking the enemy's attack with his body, he used to block the enemy's attack strategy itself..

In order to properly fulfill such a role, it must have numerous requirements in addition to defense ability..

'……Analyze enemy attack patterns, detect variables within them, and control the overall flow..’

The first thing to do when attacking a boss monster without information is to strengthen your defense..

By enduring with such thorough defense, you learn the attack patterns of the boss monster..

You have to spend a lot of time analyzing it thoroughly, but you can find a 'gap' that can be used to strike..

"The pattern analysis will soon be completed and the attack will begin from then on..”

Although Lee Hyun-wook spoke confidently, the others still could not hide their uneasiness..

‘Well, that girl isn't you.…….'

Almost everyone here thought so. Until now, whenever Hyunwook Lee expressed confidence, it was always the starting point of victory. But that's because Lee Hyun-wook was unique..

Seo Eunha… … In their eyes, he was an outstanding but not overwhelming average person..

If he were a really good person, there would be no way he was leading the AMT strategy team until now.…….

Since Lee Hyun-wook is so good at it, isn't he mistaken in thinking that others can do the same??

At a time when many people were doubting Lee Hyun-wook's judgment, Seo Eun-ha's body stumbled..

"uh?”

After repeated battles, I got turned over and over, and my foot got stuck somewhere..

At that moment, a black hole opened in the palm of his right hand and something came out.?

Sh—sh—sh—sh——!

As small steel poisonous needles rained down on her head, Seo Eun-ha raised her left hand - Achilles' shield - to block them. But at the same time, the giant sword's stabbing attack flew in..

But one of her eyes was above the shield and shining. It seemed like she had already read the timing..

‘Yes, the analysis has already been completed up to that point after being attacked by a large sword several times..’

She pulled out her back foot and spun her body around, and the giant sword narrowly scraped past the shield..

go go go go——!

She just moved forward and dug into the guy. Now it was time to analyze the close-quarters situation..

「Oh my, what a pathetic human being.—」

At that moment, everyone noticed that it had raised its front paw, and shock erupted everywhere..

Hung——

His right foot was stretched out like a bumper. Seo Eun-ha rolled to the other side and was not kicked. He then came closer a few more times, and each time he attacked with a kick as if trying to push him away. Probably, it was confirmed by eliciting the reaction of digging deep into the person..

「no use—」

Meanwhile, at that point, Lee Hyun-wook confirmed that Seo Eun-ha's expression had strangely changed..

A slightly raised smile, then a slightly more frowned eyebrow, then sharper eyes.…….

‘Okay, is the scan finally over??’

At that time, she kicked the ground and ran forward as if shooting, throwing Mjolnir in her right hand towards the guy's head. He held his giant sword with both hands and swung it wide, striking down Mjolnir with ease..

Tongue—!

Meanwhile, Seo Eun-ha succeeded in digging into the guy's lower body without any restraint..

‘It is actually a very basic theory that the lower body of a giant who wields such a large sword is empty..’

Then, the key to strategy is to figure out how to defend the lower body..

She went deep into his body several times and found out that the only way to do it was with kicks..

And the moment I swung that heavy sword, the kick had no choice but to be sealed..

‘Since the center of gravity moves to the tip of the sword, you will lose your balance the moment you lift your foot.…….'

After Seo Eun-ha figured out that point, she guided the sword attack and then struck quickly..

She had an innate sense to recognize and exploit such minor limitations..

Tongue——!

She hit his back foot with the shield, and his body stumbled..

But then, he attempted an attack with a completely different pattern..

「bug like thing—」

He boldly let go of the large sword and swung his bare fist at Seo Eun-ha..

"no—!”

That was an unexpected blow. And when he gave up the massive sword, his movements were faster than expected. A fist like a mace hit straight at Seo Eun-ha, who was rolling on the floor and trying to avoid it..

Tongue——

“……uh?”

However, isn't it a rather harsh sound to call it a fatal blow??

that.......

'……Blessed by the River Styx, invincible.’

Seo Eun-ha had already taken out the 'Spear of Achilles' that was on her back and was holding it.,

A strange white air current was wrapped around her body like a belt..

‘Invincible for only 30 seconds. But I couldn't attack during that time..’

But right at that point, an important decision had to be made..

Will you use up these 30 seconds of invincibility to catch your breath??

Or, will you take advantage of this moment to launch a counterattack??

‘Here, if you choose the former because you feel relieved that you are invincible, the situation will end up being the starting point..’

Her choice was the latter. He immediately closed the distance between her and.

Suddenly——

And succeeded in driving the spear of Achilles into the guy's jaw..

「Ugh— you think you can prove your qualifications with an attack like this??」

Of course, the damage was insufficient to kill a level 115 boss monster..

"That thought will change soon..”

She said and raised her right hand..

Cherrrr le--

Then, a white chain made of light was created from the floor and tied the guy's arms..

It was the same skill that the saint used to restrain the banshee before, but its level was much lower..

「At best, like this—」

Zeng!

The guy easily broke the chain, but during that moment, Seo Eun-ha was able to cast the next skill..

"holly light—!”

Intense white light burst from her right hand and hit the guy's face..

Because he was fundamentally a draugr, or undead, he was quite vulnerable to holy attacks..

「Pfft—」

The guy took a step back, covering his eyes with his left hand. Seo Eun-ha did not miss that moment..

She activated Mjolnir's 'returning' function, and it flew out of nowhere and landed in her hand..

chin—

And the one who was temporarily blinded by the holy light could not block her approach..

She swung Mjolnir like an uppercut at the Spear of Achilles in the man's jaw..

Wow——!

Then, like driving a nail with a hammer, he succeeded in driving the spear dozens of centimeters deeper..

「Wow——!」

It was a pretty fatal blow, and the guy stumbled and fell backwards..

‘Okay, from now on, Seo Eun-ha's one-sided attack is possible..’

She drew all her mana and created a white sword about 3 meters long in the air..

"……It's a heavenly sword.”

It is one of the best attack skills that a Paladin can use, and when used by multiple people together, it can be made much larger. Ganghwado was shown by the Wight Tree Guard during the battle with the Necromancer..

Although it was smaller than that, it was a sashimi knife large enough to dismember an incapacitated opponent..

Seo Eun-ha mercilessly swung the ‘Heavenly Sword’ towards the Dragon Lair guardian who fell backwards..

When the 3m sacred blade struck, even the giant was fatally wounded..

puck--! puck--! puck--! puck——!

With a bloody sound, its body began to be cut into pieces..

puck--! puck--! puck--! puck——!

Soon she used up all her mana and the Heavenly Sword evaporated.…….

「Qualification is enough…….」

Guardian of Dragon Lair, he began to oxidize without leaving a single word..

"her……."

Meanwhile, the Hope Guild members were all gaping except for Lee Hyun-wook..

“Wow, I actually defeated it in one go once the analysis was over.……."

"That's great, but the boss expected that too.……."

They looked at Lee Hyun-wook and Seo Eun-ha alternately, feeling a renewed sense of awe..

In the future, it was possible to predict that Hope Guild-Lee Hyun-wook's power would become even stronger..

At that time, the ‘sword of unknown power’ that had been planted on the floor began to glow..

"......."

Seo Eun-ha made a blank expression for a moment, then walked towards the sword and carefully pulled it out..

- congratulations! By proving your qualifications, the power of the ‘Sword with Unknown Power’ will be unlocked..

[Item information]

- Name: Dragon Knight's Sword (Legendary))

- effect

1) Dragon Power: All abilities are improved (+30%) and a superior ‘mental barrier’ is formed..

2) Assimilation: As the ‘dragon’ connected to you grows, your abilities also increase..

* Since there is no 'Dragon' connected yet, the skill is disabled..

She held the sword and looked at Lee Hyun-wook while breathing heavily..

"under… … Now, it's done, right??”

"Yes, it was absolutely perfect.”

In fact, it wasn't that Lee Hyun-wook wasn't worried. Seo Eun-ha, not him, is capable of doing it well, but Seo Eun-ha at this moment is probably not yet complete..

‘But you were much more talented than I thought.…….'

Well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to survive until the last moment of his past life..

"But what sound is coming from that box?......."

Seo Eun-ha said that and pointed to a huge box on the stairs in front..

As he got closer, Lee Hyun-wook could also feel the sound..

Exciting — Exciting—

That was a heartbeat. She looked at Lee Hyun-wook with a somewhat nervous expression, then opened the box..

Wooooow——

Inside the box was a red cloth, and on top of it was a huge blue egg..

"......."

She looked down at the egg with a somewhat burdened expression. As Lee Hyun-wook said earlier, a baby dragon would be born inside this. And Seo Eun-ha had to take responsibility for raising that guy..

"under… … My life suddenly feels like it's going awry?”

"Do not worry. I will support you well.”

"Yes, keep in mind that you are responsible for this as well..”

Lee Hyun-wook smiled and nodded..

"after… … If this is the case, is it true that conquering the labyrinth was successful??”

Lee Jeongjun asked with a relieved expression on his face..

but…….

“……It's not over yet.”

Hyunwook Lee said that and headed towards one wall..

"why? what's there?”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded, but to others, it was just a plain wall with nothing in it..

"Well, nothing in my eyes... … I can't see it?”

Hyeonuk Lee I couldn't find anything unusual on that wide wall with the naked eye..

He eventually demonstrated ‘clairvoyance’, one of the Insight Lens skills..

- Clairvoyance activates and your eyesight increases significantly.. (+400%)

Then I felt my vision become very clear, and soon I noticed a very small flaw in the wall..

‘Um, it's like a keyhole or something.?’

But I don't remember finding a key that fits that hole..

‘I think I can tear down this wall…….'

However, there was no 'defensive magic' on the wall..

In other words, there seemed to be no strict conditions for admission..

Well, it would be difficult to even find a hidden place.…….

‘then…….'

Lee Hyun-wook made the index finger part rigid, then sculpted it into an elongated shape and placed it in the groove..

Then, the end was 'fused' and hardened again according to the shape of the inside of the hole..

Clap—

Soon, the sound of something clicking inside the wall was heard. He turned his finger like that.......

coo coo coo coo coo coo coo——

The wall split in half, revealing a staircase leading deeper underground..

"uh… … It's definitely a hidden stage.?”

The hidden stage was a special space that was very rarely found even in dungeons..

"I guess I'll get an unexpected treasure..”

***

As I went down the underground stairs of Hidden Stages, a huge pupil appeared..

- You have entered the hidden stage ‘Emperor’s Secret Space: Dragon’s Tomb’.!

Grrrr——

As I went down the stairs and stepped on the floor, a blue flame spontaneously bloomed in the distance..

"Uh, is there some kind of automatic sensor??”

But at that moment, everyone was scared and had no choice but to step back..

The reason is that…….

“……Yes, it's a dragon.!”

Because the black dragon Aji Dahaka, a dragon similar to it, was crouching in the blue light..

And in the eyes of Lee Hyun-wook, whose clairvoyance was activated, he saw a sword embedded in its back..
