The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 181
181fury.
========================
The moment the large sword appeared in Lee Hyun-wook's left hand, the air in the area was pushed out and a gust of wind occurred in the crypt..
"uh?”
“……what?”
However, the dark elf guards could not react quickly. He just had a perplexed expression on his face, as if he were standing in front of an oncoming dump truck..
Of course, that reaction only lasted a second or two, and in the meantime, some of them had already grabbed the hilts of the swords at their waists..
However, Lee Hyun-wook was faster..
Chow—bad——!
his left hand is drawn to the right.
At that moment, the giant sword was fired..
Bur—bur—bur—bur——!
Immediately after that, 16 guards, including the guard, fell to the floor with a crashing sound..
16 animals were cut into pieces with a single blow..
"......."
that was the end.
The warden and guards who had made them all tremble were motionless, turning into mere pieces of meat, leaving pools of blood on the floor..
After a moment of silence, startled murmurs rang out here and there..
“Wow, that's ridiculous.……."
"what did i just see?”
Hyunwook Lee turned his head and looked at Joachim Volkov. At that time, Mowglai slowly approached and stopped behind him. Everyone's eyes were on it..
'that sword.......'
Joachim Volkov is a level 69 player who was once ranked 11th in the German player rankings, and was able to sense the 'force' emanating from that sword..
‘That level of power is legendary.…….'
This guy was said to be S-rank, but he wasn't known 6 years ago, so I thought he was just a rookie..
However, if you own a legendary weapon, it means you are not an average person..
‘Really, I might be able to kill the general..’
He looked at Joachim Volkov and said something as if he had overheard his thoughts..
"This is how I will assassinate the general..”
In other words, this scene… … It was just a performance put on to persuade them..
And with just that one scene, the POW leaders, including Joachim Volkov, had no choice but to trust Lee Hyun-wook's 'rebellion' strategy..
***
After a while, Lee Hyun-wook summoned Friedwen from the widest space in the slave quarters and took out all kinds of weapons from the AD-2 that was stored there..
The captive players gathered around watched the process with surprised rabbit eyes..
"That's rain, isn't it? But what is that metal box??”
"Wow—there are endless items out there, right? No way, it’s all subspace?”
"Wow, this amount of weapons must be more than most guilds have.……."
Since the technology called 'magical engineering' itself was unfamiliar to them, all the items Lee Hyun-wook brought out were just amazing..
Next, Joachim Volkov selected players among the prisoners and supplied them with weapons..
"Now, come and get them one by one..”
"Can you give me that window over there??”
"Oh, Mr. Oliver originally used a spear.?”
"Yes, it was a warrior-type spear specialized ability..”
There were about 300 people in total, and those who had combat experience six years ago were mainly selected..
"Wow—this is much better than the sword I used, right? But this is a manufactured item?……."
"Are manufactured items of this size mass produced anymore? This is unimaginable 6 years ago.……."
Those items were all items of the minimum 'skilled' grade produced by Kang Jeong-doo's lab, and as of 6 years ago, they were difficult for even C-grade tier 1 players to access..
"After this feeling……."
They looked somewhat thrilled at the feel of the item they were holding for the first time in six years. They were all players who hunted monsters at one time, so their past courage was revived..
but…….
“But was the sword originally this heavy??”
“Ugh! Yeah, I feel like my muscles are going to tear.!”
All of these people had not seen sunlight for a very long time and had not been eating enough, so their bodies could not have been normal..
At this rate, it could have been difficult to even run with a weapon, let alone fight..
chin—
"Now, could you please distribute this evenly??”
At that time, Sehee Kim took out a box from Friedwen and placed it on the floor..
It was none other than a recovery potion box..
"There are 75 in total. It's not a lot, but if you take even a little bit, you will feel much better. Please share one with five people..”
Still, the recovery potion that Lee Hyun-wook carried was of the highest quality, so he could return to normal to some extent by taking just one sip..
It was around the time that about half of them were fully armed..
“—Everyone hurry! The guards are coming!”
As a man ran and shouted, the armed players turned their heads..
"Oh, what! The guards have already noticed.?”
"Oh, I guess extra patrols were sent because the warden wasn't coming back! That number is quite high! We'll be here soon.!”
At those words, Joachim Volkov came forward, raising his sword and shield..
“……There's no need to hide anymore.”
Then, a number of armed players gathered behind him..
They were members of the strategy team of what was once the best guild in Germany..
“……Finally, it's been a while since I got to play a real game..”
The time has come to bring out the violence that has been suppressed for quite some time..
***
"Everyone get out of my way—!”
A group of dark elf guards ran through the slave quarters, shouting. Then the people coming and going in the crypt were astonished and pressed up against the wall..
This was because if the guards caught the attention of the guards, they could have been beaten..
"hey! Did the guard pass this way??"
The lead guard pulled a man by the collar and asked,.
"Uh, uh yeah! You passed by a little while ago! If anything happens……."
"Who is this guy asking questions to without even knowing the topic? Get away from me!”
Sigh!
This kind of violence was everyday life for the prisoners..
"Damn it, where is the warden and what are you doing? That doesn't mean he'll have to suffer anything from the slaves.……."
"That's natural, and the Green Wave is probably rotting somewhere and is being inspected. No, you can figure it out on your own, but why does that bastard insist that you go, deputy jailer??”
They entered the slave quarters, huffing and puffing, as if they were displeased with their rest being interrupted..
At that time, a group of slaves were seen approaching from inside the crypt..
The guards looked dumbfounded at that sight..
"huh? What is that??”
"Wow, are those crazy?……."
One of the guards stepped forward and raised the club in his hand..
"hey! Why are you gathered there? Don't you know that group action by you slaves means group killing??”
However, the group didn't care and came rushing in, but the guard looked at the face of the man standing in front of them and sneered..
“Hey Joachim… … Was it you? You bastard, do you think you got whipped less last time? Still playing leader of the slaves... … uh?”
Only then did the guard discover that in Joachim Volkov's hands were a sword and a shield..
"—You, you bastard, where did you get that from?!”
At that moment, Joachim Volkov kicked the floor, red energy surged at his feet, and he pushed his body forward strongly..
Hung!
It was one of the knight-type rush skills..
Wow - billion——!
In the blink of an eye, the distance narrowed by about ten meters, and like a bull, he hit the two dark elves in front with his shield and blew them away, and swung his sword indiscriminately at the dark elves standing behind them..
Wow! Okay!
In the blink of an eye, four of them fell. The guards seemed surprised by the power of the slaves, who had been ignored until now, and backed away..
“These motherfuckers—die.—!”
Meanwhile, about a dozen armed players rushed in and slaughtered the remaining guards in an instant..
"Damn it, get it now, support yo— Ugh.—"
The dark elf standing at the back summoned a ‘forest spirit’ and extended both hands toward the ceiling..
"Wake up, green wave—!”
I started to squirm at the gesture of his hand, and it seemed as if it would come pouring down at any moment and entangle my entire body..
Here, a single forest elementalist could overcome dozens of players..
but—
burbber burbber——
"—Ugh!"
As many as six arrows hit various parts of the guy's body, causing him to fall forward, and the spirit magic was not completed..
At the back, two archer players cheered and placed their palms together..
"under! How old is this??”
"Still, I got it right first.!”
It may have been a long time since we last protested, but they were the best players of their time who responded to the catastrophe called the 3rd wave..
Old senses began to awaken quickly..
“Now let's go kill all those little bastards.!”
They advanced, fueled by the anger they had suppressed for as many as six years, and killed a dozen more guards who came running after hearing the commotion..
Meanwhile, the wizard players were gathered at the back..
It was Kim Se-hee who led them..
"So, please start with the four of you here..”
At her words, four people unleashed flame magic from their hands..
“Ugh, it's been so long since I used magic, it's not like it used to be..”
“That's enough. Come on, honey—”
At her words, Hani created a wind and dragged the flames up to the ceiling..
Hwaaaaa——
The fire spread through the 'Green Wave' vines on the ceiling, and they began to wriggle and become incapacitated..
As a result, the fire plants had to spray water, but it was suppressed by the power of the forest elementalists, including the second prince..
“Okay, everything goes according to plan..”
So, we arrived at the entrance..
and
Thump—thud—
The iron golems that Lee Hyun-wook had made in advance came forward and blocked the entrance, and they were holding plates made of steel..
Thong— Thong— Thong—
They slammed it into the ground and built an iron wall, which was like a barricade of sorts..
"Now bring it to me!”
Kim Se-hee shouted.
Then, several people came running from behind carrying a huge cylindrical object..
Clap—
It was none other than the hextech machine gun ‘Graverpalo’..
[Item information]
- Name: Grave Buffalo V2 (Advanced)
- effect
1) Subspace Magazine: You can ‘snap’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace..
2) Subspace Magazine: You can ‘snap’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace..
They placed them on the barricade..
“Hey— here they come!”
Soon the remaining guards began to flock in droves..
"Okay, let's sweep it away.!”
No matter how weak the players were, hextech items performed well just by infusing a little mana..
Two-two-two-two-two——!
A total of 14 Graver Palos spewed fire and tore a group of running dark elves to pieces..
"Ugh!"
"evil!"
Those who were lucky enough to avoid the barrage of bullets were startled by the overwhelming firepower and ran away..
"This performs well.?”
"Wow, this is possible.……."
But the guys who just ran away will bring more troops, and at that time, this level of firepower might not be able to stop them..
“Now, from now on, you have to hang in here as long as you can.!”
Joachim Volkov shouted and looked back at the prisoners, no, the players..
"Our progress ends here. And from now on……."
He grabbed his shield and turned forward..
“……I have no choice but to trust that man..”
A huge swarm of insects was swarming from afar..
Why—ae—ae—ae—!
Green Hell poisonous bugs, dark elf druids had released a swarm of man-eating bugs..
"Powered, ready for battle—!”
***
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook left the slave quarters with Argenti Arcum, the second prince's guardian knight, and moved to an area called 'Citadel'..
This place could be said to be the royal capital of the Dark Elf Kingdom. That's why the expenses were so high..
- Dark Elf Elite Knight (LV)：76)
- Dark Elf Elite Forest Hunter (LV)：71)
Such high-level monsters were wandering around here and there, fully armed, and stared at the dark elves coming and going with sharp eyes..
As we heard earlier, it was because all royal loyalists had not been eliminated yet..
“……That place is the royal castle..”
Argenti Arcum glanced to one side with a bitter expression. As Lee Hyun-wook walked casually, he glanced sideways in that direction..
There I saw a huge white door..
Inside, there is the throne room..
"First, move to a place where you can see it clearly and wait..”
Woooooo——
Soon, something like a trumpet sounded from somewhere, and the guards around the royal capital began to move..
"—It's a rebellion!”
"what? It's a remnant of the royal family.?”
"No, the slaves rose up.!”
"That makes sense?”
Right now, only the guards are moving, but the scale of the rebellion will be larger than expected, so even the troops in the throne room will have to be mobilized..
About twenty minutes later…….
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo——
Finally, the castle gate opened and a group of troops came out..
They marched in formation toward the slave quarters..
As they disappeared out of sight, Lee Hyun-wook slowly got up from between the thick tree roots..
"Now it's a properly empty house.”
He wrote 'Quinee' and his body disappeared..
***
In the throne room, a vast space bathed in dark blue light, hundreds of dark elves were lined up..
Even though more than half of the slaves were in an emergency situation due to a revolt a little while ago, the number was still enormous..
And countless green vines were wriggling on the ceiling, making it look like a colony of sea anemones..
There was only one reason they all existed - the Seat of Thrones, located in the innermost part of this space, in a row of gray statues, within a quadruple layer of magical shielding..
And the large dark elf sitting there was the ‘Great General’, the current highest authority of the dark elf race..
Wooooow——
His eyes were closed now, and blue smoke was flowing from the throne and his body, which indicated that he was controlling 'Weingard'..
In other words, the general was currently commanding a war against humans that was taking place in a very distant place..
"......."
An old dark elf was looking at the place with his back to me with worried eyes..
“……The general doesn't have the energy to care about this place right now. Inspector, how is the suppression of the rebellion going??”
An answer came from behind me..
"yes! Commander, I sprayed Green Hell venomous beetles... … It is said that they were all killed by the current and wind..”
"Damn it, what are they doing? Even slaves can't be suppressed.?”
"Still, the 3rd unit of forest spiritists has advanced, so it will be suppressed soon..”
“And did you find out how they were able to revolt and where the weapons came from??”
However, the immediate answer was suddenly cut off, and the dark elf called the corps commander turned around, wriggling his eyebrows..
"i didn't ask……."
A silver arrow landed on his chin, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. In one corner of his gaze, he saw the collapsed body of the ‘Watcher’..
Jeopuk- Jeobok—
And from the darkness of a corner, a dark elf walked out..
“Hehe, who are you??”
“……That's the seat of power?”
The unidentified dark elf said while looking beyond the four-layer defense shield..
"Oh yeah… … Are you human? But that polymorph has the same pattern as our magic.……."
"That must mean that you know what kind of power that seat of power holds.?”
he didn't answer.
However, the corps commander smiled leisurely despite the arrowhead touching the nape of his neck..
"And the slave rebellion that has just happened, you must have started it? Ugh, I managed to crawl all the way here without being seen, but yeah, I hit a wall.?
The unidentified dark elf placed his hand on the magic shield..
"Tsk tsk — FYI, that magic shield is quadruple, and of course it can never be opened outside. Hey, it's absolutely impossible without killing the high-ranking wizards sitting around the throne..”
The corps commander who was talking like that snapped his fingers..
yes——
At that moment, his body disappeared in thin air and appeared about ten meters behind..
yes——
Then, when he snapped his fingers again, a blue energy flowed out, forming a magic shield and covering his entire body..
"So you wanted to hold me hostage and find a way to open that shield somehow, but what about this? You completely failed, right? Hahaha—”
“……You're talking so loudly.”
“what?”
"I already know everything and prepared everything..”
He said and released the polymorph..
A human stands in front of an army of dark elves.
“You… … Steele? Why are you here... … Damn, what are you all doing? Hurry and catch that guy!”
As he shouted, the Dark Elf troops, who had already drawn their weapons after hearing the commotion, quickly narrowed the siege..
Kkudduddud——
Before I knew it, green waves were flowing down from the ceiling..
"Okay, come a little closer.……."
Hyunwook Lee said that and spread his hands..
At that time, AD-2s were summoned from both of Lee Hyun-wook's wrists, and they each spit out a large sword..
‘Mowglai on the left, Levitain on the right.…….'
Lee Hyun-wook first moved the Levateine, or rather, the ‘sword that regained its heat.’.
‘This contains hellfire..’
Not long ago, when I was struck by a hellfire magic scroll in Dresden, I absorbed all the hellfire with this great sword..
Since then, the heat has been released once, but there is still a large amount of Hellfire accumulated.…….
'magma sword—’
The thick sword body became red-hot, first releasing heat and then bursting into flames..
Pooh-ooh-ooh-ooh——!
As if a giant phoenix spread its wings, the flames rose in the shape of a cross, engulfing not only the dark elf forces that were rushing toward Lee Hyun-wook but also the green wave that was spreading from the ceiling..
“Wow—”
“Uh, hurry and get some water.!”
Soon the forest elementalists pulled down the plants holding water from the ceiling, but there was no way Hellfire could be extinguished with ordinary water..
And that wasn't the end.
‘It's now.’
Lee Hyun-wook's left hand held Mogley's hilt..
Wooooow——
At that moment, the mana of the entire area began to be sucked into the tip of the guy's Mowglei sword..
‘Mana Explosive Blade—Space Cutter—’
First, a powerful mana tyranny exploded..
And as the hellfire that erupted earlier was pushed back once more, it became a much more powerful firestorm and wiped out the dark elf army..
The moment they crouched down, created a magic shield, and focused solely on blocking the flames—the 'space cutter' that had been hiding in the firestorm ran out, cutting through space..
Chow—now—now—now—now——!
It was an incredible amount of firepower that cut more than a hundred dark elves in half with a single blow..
Even the corps commander who was watching the scene stuck out his tongue..
A single human could wipe out the best elite troops in the deepest part of the Dark Elf Kingdom... … It was truly a shocking and depressing scene..
“……Yes, you, are you really aiming for this and waiting for my soldiers to get closer??”
"Ha, but no matter what, this is our heartland. No matter how strong the fire is, it will eventually be extinguished, and you will be swept away by the green wave while trying to break that quadruple magic shield—boo! What is this, what is this……."
He touched the back of his neck with a blank expression..
There was a silver arrow, a pale note..
"Uh, how do I protect my magic shield?……."
It ignored the magic shield and got stuck in the guy's neck..
"I told you so.”
"big……."
"I know everything and prepared everything.”
The reason why that single arrow was rated 'Heroic' was because it ignored all magic resistance and even magic shields and hit the target without fail..
Lee Hyun-wook looked at the guy and gestured, and Palenote completely cut off his head and soared into the air..
Then his finger pointed towards the throne.—
hush——
Two Palenotes were fired through the four-layer magic shield as if water was flowing through it..
‘However, this pale note cannot instantly kill the general..’
However, it was different for high-ranking wizards who maintained a quadruple defense shield..
Fu—boo—boo—boo——!
Two arrows pierced the backs of their necks, and at that moment, the four-layer magic shield blinked and disappeared.—
Hung——
100The t-sized giant sword ran like a runaway locomotive..
