The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 199
199fury.
============================
Immediately after entering the cave, Lee Hyun-wook continued to check two things..
First, it was whether or not ‘mana communication’ was normal..
‘If you want to assassinate me, I'll block this first..’
Who is Lee Hyeon-wook? There were more than one person who turned on the light in their eyes to protect him, who was the only hope in this world..
And if he even called for support, they would immediately fly here by any means necessary..
Since they did not know this, the villains would have tried to completely isolate Lee Hyun-wook by cutting off his connection with the outside world..
‘It's already a predicted range..’
Second, I was checking the time in seconds.
‘241 seconds left.’
No matter how much I know it's a trap, it's still like entering the middle of enemy territory..
Lee Hyun-wook stayed alert and prepared for situations beyond his control..
‘If I have no contact for 5 minutes, the operation begins..’
And mana communication was just lost. This is because there was a shield surrounding the entire place, and it was a mana disruption device using a ‘mana reflux stone’..
In other words, Lee Hyun-wook was facing multiple assassins with his bare hands, without even being able to take out a single item, let alone a skill..
‘……Honestly, it's a trap that could be said to be perfect. A trap of this magnitude would have taken not only money but also several months..’
Lee Hyun-wook raised his head and looked at the dozen players surrounding him..
However, the 'Insight Lens' function seemed to have lost its proper function, and a system message appeared in front of my eyes and then blinked and disappeared..
However, Lee Hyun-wook’s strengths are not limited to ‘skills’ and ‘items’ that require mana..
He exhaled slowly, raised his entire body's senses, and watched his enemies' movements..
And opened my mouth.
"……Okay, 229 seconds left.."
At Lee Hyun-wook’s words, Jang Jun-geol’s expression distorted..
"under! I don't know what kind of trick you're pulling, but you can't use your unique item summoning skills in here.!”
“……So, from now on, we will teach you, you arrogant bastard, that cliché expression, ‘a rat in a poison.’!”
That moment—
Ta—da—da—dang——!
A barrage of arrows and bullets flew towards Lee Hyun-wook..
"Ugh!"
In the darkness, two flames were shooting out from inside the cave, probably machine guns..
Ta—da—da—dang——!
It was a normal attack without any magic, but this side was also unable to cast any defensive magic..
Therefore, in this space, enchanted magic bullets could be the optimal means of attack..
No matter how good your defense was, if you didn't use your defense skills, you would be torn to pieces and die..
but…….
Lee Hyun-wook threw his body back and covered his head with both arms..
ter—more—more—more——
Then, like a body armor, all the bullets bounced off.?
At that scene, their eyes widened..
"uh? What kind of clothes are that thin... … It even blocks enchanted orihalcon bullets.?”
Here, Lee Hyun-wook's unique rigid body skills become ineffective. And his clothing wasn't thick enough to block bullets, so he was embarrassed in many ways..
But soon, I realized the reason.…….
"……That, that, is armor made of dragon scales.!”
What Hyunwook Lee was wearing was armor made from the scales of a black dragon. With armor of that level, it was natural that he couldn't penetrate it with most weapons..
Lee Hyun-wook chuckled..
“Did this guy decorate a cave and then brag to me about the money from the big country and all??”
"what?"
“What I have is on a different level from the meager things you guys are holding. therefore… … It's not a problem that can be solved just by having a lot of people or money..”
“……What on earth do you want to say at this moment??”
Lee Hyun-wook smiled between his arms covering his head..
"......There is a huge gap between you and me."
Lee Hyun-wook has already widened a 'super gap' with other players. From just this one set of defense items, it had reached a level that went beyond their common sense..
It was a gap that had skipped several eras, just as the Native Americans of the Americas could not have dared to stop the Europeans armed with gunpowder and steel weapons during the pioneering era of the New World..
If there is that much of a difference, a fight will most likely not take place. Even if you get caught in a trap like this.
"Okay, there are 143 seconds left..”
Lee Hyun-wook counted the time again. It was just confusing for the villains who couldn't figure out what that meant..
"excuse me… … Captain, if this continues, I think I will have no choice but to force down the arm covering his head and slit his throat..”
Jang Jun-geol nodded at those words..
“Okay, team 1, moving forward. And the shooters don't miss the moment he lowers his arms and aim for his head and nape..”
In the end, the first plan of magic bullet baptism was abandoned and the five warriors began to advance with swords and shields..
'Okay, come a little closer.......'
Hyunwook Lee covered his head and looked at the approaching men through the gaps between his arms..
And the moment the distance narrowed to a certain extent, I hit the floor..
The machine gunners who captured that moment opened fire, but—
“I can't shoot like this.!”
Hyunwook Lee got tangled up with the fighters and had to take his finger off the trigger..
"This bastard—!”
Choi Choi, a large bald man, stabbed a large sword at Lee Hyun-wook. Lee Hyun-wook twisted his body to avoid the blow and then delivered a simple jab towards the bridge of the guy's nose..
Take a look—
“100 million!”
The guy's body stumbled as his nose was bent at a right angle, and Lee Hyun-wook grabbed the arm holding the knife that extended straight out as if embracing him, then bent the elbow using the principle of a lever..
When I put on the so-called standing arm lock and applied maximum force, the thick arm broke like a cornbread and the bone broke through the skin..
Suddenly—
"Wow—”
Before he knew it, Lee Hyun-wook had snatched the sword from the guy's grasp and plunged the knife into the guy's abdomen..
deeply!
The eyes of the guy who was letting out a violent scream slowly rolled over..
"—Surrounded from all sides!”
Before I knew it, the remaining four were surrounding Lee Hyun-wook..
"Surround me like this and approach me slowly.!”
"That guy can't move properly because of the machine gun, so we have the advantage.!”
However, Lee Hyun-wook lifted the bald giant's body with one hand and flipped it over as if carrying it on his back..
“what?”
That's right, they used the corpse as a shield..
In that state, he aimed his sword at the remaining four people..
"—Just hit it!”
Blades flew from four directions, all aimed at the nape of Lee Hyun-wook's neck. However, Lee Hyun-wook was able to block the four weapons flying at him with just one hand..
visor! visor! visor! visor!
It was a precise, uncluttered movement, as if he were reading the flow of all weapons like a martial arts movie expert..
After exchanging swords several times, the warriors had no choice but to step back as if in shock..
"uh......."
They bravely came forward because Lee Hyun-wook had bare hands. But now, Lee Hyun-wook was not bare-handed..
Feeling the weight of the sword in his hand, the warriors slowly stepped back as if standing in front of the barrel of a gun..
“……Now that I think about it, he killed that sword saint too.?”
Lee Hyun-wook's enemies often forget that he has focused on his firepower so far. How good is he at close combat?.
And the moment they hesitate—
“Ugh!”
A sword was stuck in a guy's neck..
It was thrown by Lee Hyun-wook..
"uh?”
Lee Hyun-wook kicked the ground, clung to the guy, and held two swords in both hands. A barrage of machine guns followed his movements, but they failed to hit him by a single point..
And the next moment,
Whoosh— whoosh—
The two swords left Lee Hyun-wook’s hands.,
Sigh - Sigh—
In the rear, two machine gunners fell backwards..
In this way, a gap in fire support was created..
Lee Hyun-wook slowly lowered both arms covering his head and took a proper boxing stance..
“—He's bare handed again!”
One guy ran up and swung his sword horizontally, and Lee Hyun-wook tilted his back in a sway motion, letting the tip of his sword slip away, and then put a strong hook in the guy's chin..
Take a look—
With that one blow, the jawbone was crushed and the entire lower jaw was severed and sent flying far away..
“Knock—knock—”
He stumbled like a zombie and fell sideways..
visor—
Lee Hyun-wook had no time to pick up the sword that the guy had dropped. Because swords and spears were flying from both sides before I knew it..
However, Lee Hyun-wook used his animalistic sense to let go of all the attacks and instead dug in even closer..
OK…….
“—Now it's my street.”
“Pfft! shit—”
Having a long weapon is an advantage, but as soon as that distance is broken, it becomes a liability. Lee Hyun-wook gained control of a distance where his fist could reach but could not swing his sword or spear, and then he lightly threw his fist out, shattering two of his noses and teeth..
"Ugh—"
"evil!"
His movements were like those of an animal. And most attacks were blocked with both arms and the black dragon's armor, so they didn't have the talent to deal with it..
Jump! puck! Sigh!
After a few dull sounds, the five warriors who had surrounded Lee Hyun-wook were neatly laid out..
"......."
Then there came a moment of silence..
Lee Hyun-wook slowly exhaled and looked at the enemy lines..
‘……There are still many.’
However, the number of villains was still too large for Lee Hyun-wook to easily handle. The number he identified was still 13..
Clap—
And in place of the machine gunners who died from the knives thrown by Lee Hyun-wook, other guys took the guns..
Lee Hyun-wook lifted a shield that had fallen on the floor. An item like this would be able to withstand a barrage of bullets for a few tens of seconds..
At that time, Jang Jun-geol took a step forward and said:.
"Ha—is a tiger still a tiger even if all its teeth are pulled out??”
"......."
"I know you're great at close combat, but you can't beat me without metal control..”
As he said that, he took out something..
It's a long golden club... … It was Yeouibong.
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook snapped his fingers..
“bingo—”
"huh?"
"Because that's what I came looking for.”
Then Jang Jun-geol seemed to be hurting his pride, gritting his teeth and growling in a low tone..
“……Take it somewhere, if you can..”
Jang Jun-geol, one of the best bruisers in China... … Lee Hyun-wook had faced the guy a couple of times in his past life, so he knew something about the guy..
‘With my abilities sealed, it would be difficult to deal with that guy while also dealing with the remaining eleven..’
And Lee Hyun-wook had no intention of doing so..
"By the way……."
He muttered that and checked his watch again..
“……Now it's time.”
"what? This bastard, he's been telling me what time he was talking about.……."
Qua—ang——!
At that moment, the entire tunnel shook with a loud noise..
"Pfft! Wow, what happened suddenly?……."
"—collapses!”
No one could stand properly. One side of this ancient mountain is probably collapsing entirely..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….
Soon the wall cracked and a section of the ceiling collapsed..
And what that meant was that a large crack appeared in the space made of 'mana reflux stone', creating a corner for external mana to seep in..
‘When that happens, mana begins to flow, albeit limitedly..’
It was the same principle as when a hole is made in a large vacuum pack and air seeps in, the vacuum pack gradually loses its function..
Lee Hyun-wook closed his eyes and expanded his senses in the shaking tunnel..
In other words, it manifested and released mana..
Then I felt a huge chunk of metal hundreds of meters away. That weight that is more familiar than anything else…….
'now come to me—’
Lee Hyun-wook pulled it..
Then a vibration began to sound above my head..
Qua—de—de—de——
It was a violent vibration, as if hundreds of buffalo were running or a train was running at full speed..
But when I got a little closer, I could see that this was not the description..
Kwa-and-and-and——!
This isn't just a vibration... … It was an earthquake.
This huge land is cracking, colliding, and twisting.…….
Kwa-and-and-and——!
At that time, the entire cracked ceiling collapsed, opening and closing, and something fell and hit the floor..
bang——!
That was Mogley, a giant sword whose black days had passed..
As Lee Hyun-wook watched the giant sword floating in the air, Jang Jun-geol spoke in a trembling voice..
“How is this... … Your troops will not be able to enter this land without permission.……."
His eyes were shaking in all directions as if they would pop out at any moment..
"……this doesn't make sense.”
As he said, this is Chinese territory, so foreign weapons could not be deployed without permission from the Chinese government..
However, the fact that the Mogley fell from above doesn't mean that the vehicle that dropped it, Lee Hyun-wook's army, is floating in the sky.?
“Uh, why... … This is an unauthorized invasion of territory, and in fact, unless we start a war, we can't get this far.……."
The communist party, which is the main body of this country, and especially the public security department, which is the powerhouse, had already been under the control of villains for a long time..
Therefore, the surveillance network was activated to the maximum for fear that Steelerain's weapons might enter this land.
So, it was a magical scene that he could hardly understand..
In response, Lee Hyun-wook could have said that magical engineering has advanced enough to deceive your country's air defense capabilities by launching a 'warbox' in low orbit and sending airships into the sky... but... … explained in one word.
“……This is the super gap I created.”
***
At that time, Alain Giam, who was waiting outside the cave, cursed and coughed. Because the whole world was covered with dust..
“……Cough! Cough! Shit! How on earth did this happen?!”
For a moment, I thought heaven and earth had changed..
He slowly moved forward, clearing the clouds of cloudy dust, and when he gained some visibility... … An incomprehensible scenery unfolded before my eyes..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.......
One side of the mountain was crushed as if God had hit it with an axe, and a landslide was still occurring..
"Wow, why is the mountain suddenly collapsing?!”
And in another sense, it meant that his plan could fall apart. He turned his head and helped one of the villains crawling out of the dirt..
“Hey, go ahead and kill Steele for sure.!”
“eww… … The entrance has collapsed and now……."
But before he finished speaking—
Whoosh—
Something cut the man's neck, and he collapsed, clutching the back of his neck..
"huh?"
It's a wisp of wind... … It was a very sharp wind.
And a gust of wind blew as the pale dust split to the left and right..
A woman, Kim Se-hee, walked there..
“……Look, there must have been a reason why the boss asked me to spy on you.?”
She glared at Alain Giam with a bewildered smile..
"……what?”
“Now I've heard it all, but I'm going to act childish?”
At that time, one side of the dirt pile exploded, and a group of villains came out from behind it. There were at least a dozen in number, and after assessing the situation, they surrounded Kim Se-hee..
Towards them, Alain Giam gave a soft command..
“……I'm going to kill that bitch right now and take care of Steele Lane.!”
But Kim Se-hee snorted..
“Haha, it's only going to be that much.?”
And then Alain Giam noticed a huge shadow moving above his head..
Huh—huh—
Suddenly, about a dozen airships appeared behind Kim Se-hee, disabling their cloaking modes..
"No, I guess they thought we would just come this far away.?”
