The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 53
53fury.
========================
The very moment Lee Hyun-wook ordered ‘open the sky’, a variable occurred..
Goo-ooh-ooh-ooh——!
Prior to the creation of the portal, an unidentified roar began to sound from the sky..
At this, all players, all monsters, and both sides raised their heads in unison..
And at the point where their eyes met, something strange happened..
Red letters appeared in the sky..
- caution! Players are given a because of their amazing achievements..
“……Well, this is the full notice.!”
Among the shooter players preparing to shoot from the rooftop of an apartment complex, a man shouted that.
LAN is not a ‘system message’ that is visible only to the player’s eyes.,
It was a message floating in 'real space' so that even an unspecified number of civilians could see it, and in most cases, it was in the form of extremely large letters floating in the sky like that..
In other words, that content would now be visible to all survivors throughout the wave zone..
"What on earth is going to happen now??”
"shit… … At least it won't be a good thing.”
After full notice, nine times out of ten, disaster will arrive..
That was a self-evident fact proven by past history..
At that time, the message in the sky slowly began to change..
- caution! is scheduled to appear in the wave zone..
"Wow, a world boss monster.—!”
everyone was shocked.
“Crazy, ridiculous… … It seemed like things were going well, but what is this?……."
"until now… … Has there ever been a case like this??”
World Boss Monster)
That was the most powerful and terrifying being among the numerous types of boss monsters..
The world boss monster appears after the 'erosion' of the original wave and becomes the ruler of the area..
Representative examples include ‘Agent Red Drake’ from California, USA and ‘King Oak’ from Shanghai, China..
But now, it was said that such a being would appear on the second day of the wave..
It made no sense, as if the final boss appeared from stage 1..
“Everyone, we need to run away right now.!”
A man stood up and shouted like that..
Then a man who appeared to be his colleague grabbed his arm..
“older brother! Not all the hostages have escaped yet.!”
"Shut up and follow me! Can't you understand the situation??”
“……yes?”
"Still not sure? What's inside that wriggling egg over there is no ordinary being.!"
The man said that and the shooters' eyes turned to the rooftop of the department store and the black altar..
Gulp—gulp—
A grotesque lump of flesh surrounded by blood and blood that wriggles on top of it.…….
It was clearly moving more violently than before..
So it felt like something inside was going to jump out at any moment..
"shit! That's the chimera! If that thing hatches, we're all done.—!”
His words were persuasive.
It wasn't that others didn't know either..
How powerful is the world boss monster?…….
3Years ago, everyone remembered the failed incident to subdue California's 'Agent Red Drake'..
It was an unprecedented situation in which 30 of the world's top 100 seats disappeared in just one morning..
In other words, that being was a monster that the players here could not handle..
"If so, I'm sorry, but I want to go too..”
"Yes, we have to live first.……."
One by one, the shooter players began to choose to run away..
Taeyong Choi and other members of the Steel Company stared blankly at their backs, unable to do either this or that. I knew there would be no retreat unless another order came..
And still there were no other commands.
In other words, the Steel Company's operation would continue..
“Sergeant Lee Hyun-wook… … why……."
Their eyes could not help but be directed at Hyunwook Lee, who was still standing alone on the rooftop..
***
"......I expected it, but it was still a hit.."
Lee Hyun-wook looked up at the sky and muttered that..
Everyone who saw the message was in despair, but Lee Hyun-wook, who was standing closest, smiled. Because I knew exactly what the message meant..
‘The world boss monster, Chimera, will soon hatch. However, it arrived two days earlier than the original time.…….'
Over there, on the altar made of black bricks, I saw a writhing mass of flesh and egg sacs..
Chimera, a cursed monster born from black magic, human sacrifice, and terrible magic.…….
He will be born on the 4th day of the original wave, that is, 2 days from now..
The barriers and monsters here were actually all devices to safely raise that chimera..
However, following an aerial bombardment, the barrier was destroyed and numerous players began to attack..
As a result, the original plan of the ‘Multi-Race Black Magic Association’ had to go wrong.,
Although it was too early, they seemed to have decided that it would be dangerous if they were not hatched now..
In other words, it was an urgent summoning of a chimera that was still unfinished..
‘2If he had been resurrected later as a complete person, he wouldn't have been able to deal with him, but now he's a kind of immature baby..’
In other words, it was a golden opportunity to easily hunt game of enormous value..
- Chick—as planned… … Do you proceed??
Mana Messenger's voice was a bit tense - it also came out in a polite tone..
Of course, he seemed very embarrassed by the message in the sky..
"Don't worry about what happens, proceed as planned.”
- Chic— Receipt confirmed, link magic casted immediately.
Soon, the magicians of the Steel Company lined up in the department store parking lot began casting..
Lee Hyun-wook only saw that scene and then turned his head straight ahead..
Ahhh—!
This was because dozens of monsters were running towards him..
Lee Hyun-wook stretched his left hand forward and swung it lightly from right to left..
Cha——evil——!
The giant sword Moglay cut from right to left, splitting 5 orcs in half..
Wow—?
The guys who were running after him hesitated due to that incredible power..
Yes, it was a scene worthy of being scared..
When Lee Hyun-wook took one step forward, they took two steps back..
however……
Wow——
Their eyes suddenly turned red and they started drooling..
‘It's a warlock's berserk spell..’
Lee Hyun-wook looked towards the ‘altar’..
Guys wearing red robes were gathered around him..
Most of them were injecting some kind of black energy towards the chimera on the altar.,
About three or four of them were stretching out their hands towards us and casting berserk spells..
"You're doing something useless..”
If you are under the berserk spell, you will forget your fear and literally run away like crazy..
But even if fear disappeared, it didn't stop the Mowglei..
With just a few gestures, Lee Hyun-wook swept them all away and moved forward..
Meanwhile, a huge shadow blocked his path..
Thump—thump—thump—thud—
Trolls, orcs, and gnolls couldn't stop it, so this time they sent out the green giant..
The guy was holding a huge axe, and the head of the axe looked bigger than a human body..
Sooooo—!
The guy let out a roar and raised the huge ax towards Lee Hyun-wook..
At that moment, Lee Hyeon-wook held the Moglei with both hands and applied rigidity to his entire body..
Blah blah blah——
Rapidly rising strength—at the same time, all metal control was placed on the tip of Mowglai. So he swung the giant sword towards the flying ax blade with all the strength he could muster..
Huh——huh——!
Two huge chunks of metal collided, creating a formidable shock wave..
"Pfft—"
Lee Hyun-wook's legs rose slightly in the air and were pushed back 30 cm..
'Pfft! Not ready to fight trolls yet.’
But I had no intention of defeating such a giant by force..
Go go go—river——!
The moment a red spark arises between two pieces of metal that collide again,
Lee Hyun-wook used the sparks as a smoke screen and sent out a ‘fail note’..
The guy couldn't react before Palenote pierced his left eye..
deeply—!
In an instant, half of his vision was lost, and he flinched and staggered..
‘It's now!’
Hyunwook Lee ran to the left of the guy—out of sight—and swung his Mowglai very low..
100 million—!
The blow blew off his left ankle, and he lost his balance and fell forward..
thud—
The powerful Mowglei fell towards the defenseless neck of the guy..
puck-! puck-! 100 million—!
Just three strikes were enough to split that thick neck..
"after......."
Lee Hyun-wook took a breath and walked around the troll’s body..
right then…….
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh—!
Black rays of light began pouring down from this side of the altar..
At the same time, the egg sac burst and red blood poured out like a fountain..
Chimera, that was born.
"Yeah, I'd be grateful if you could come out in turn..”
The warlocks lined up on the left and right used long sticks to remove the skin.,
A lump of red flesh glided out and rolled down the altar..
Wow…….
- The world boss monster ‘Chimera’ has appeared!
It was an unknown monster with a body length of 7 to 8 meters..
At first glance, it looked like a giant sea anemone, as it had bundles of tentacles sprouting all over its body..
The head exposed between the tentacles resembled the head of a newborn bird..
It had pink, rough skin, large eyes, and a beak-like thing.…….
keeeeeee——!
When it screamed loudly, its beak split in four directions and eight tongues stuck out..
‘As expected, it looks a lot worse than what I remember..’
As expected, since it was born two days early, even its appearance was not yet complete..
- Chic—Link deployment complete—!
Just then, good news arrived..
The beams of light fired by the Steel Company's wizards converged in the air above the department store.,
Soon, with a thunderous roar, a huge passageway—a portal—opened..
Finally, the sky opened.
"That guy is going to taste bitter as soon as he is born.……."
Lee Hyun-wook smiled..
- Chick—The battalion armory foot portal has been deployed! Valid time is 3 minutes!
“Okay, from now on… … Give that monster a birthday present he'll never forget.!”
Lee Hyun-wook shouted like that, stretched out his hand toward the portal, and closed his eyes..
Inside the portal, I felt the cold lumps of metal lined up in the battalion armory..
He started pulling them out of the rescue all at once..
Sh—sh—sh—sh—sh—sh—!
Hundreds of military aircraft fell and rained down fiercely toward the rooftop of the department store..
The monsters that went berserk just stared blankly at the scene with mesmerized expressions..
Qua—and—and—and—and—and—!
As the steel rain fell, dozens of monsters guarding the altar collapsed..
It was a formidable room..
‘But it doesn't work on chimeras..’
Five or six spears were stuck in the chimera's body, but it didn't seem to cause much damage..
As if he was just annoyed, he moved his tentacles and pulled out the spear stuck in his body and threw it away..
"But this time, that's not the main point..”
Some ‘big things’ were mixed in among the steel rain..
- You can secure ‘master authority’ for the corresponding Living Armor..
Yes. A total of 12 Living Armors were falling with steel rain..
They were falling helplessly like ball-jointed dolls.,
Hyunwook Lee reaches out and gives control to the metal.…….
yes—
12At the same time, blue eye lights lit up..
And right before I crashed to the ground, I adjusted my posture..
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump—!
It was a stable landing..
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—
Paratroopers in iron armor stood up..
Wow——!
As if surprised by the impact, the chimera screamed and stood up..
Maybe because I was just born, I couldn't move normally and stumbled.,
Living Armor, whose territory was being invaded, seemed displeased and swung its tentacles in that direction..
"No, still not. There is a real gift.”
Lee Hyun-wook's hand was still facing the portal, and he pulled out the last object..
Cho-la-la-la-la—!
it was a chain.
To be exact, it was a chain imbued with divine power, with sharp 'hooks' attached to both ends..
‘Great, it was done perfectly in a short amount of time..’
This was also Kang Jeong-du's work..
When Lee Hyun-wook communicated with the battalion commander this morning, he requested that a chain be made like this..
They said the reason was to suppress zombie trolls.,
In fact, it was prepared for that giant monster ‘Chimera’..
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—
The Living Armor picked up the chains and threw them at the Chimera..
A total of six hooks were pierced into the Chimera's fragile body, and as the Living Armorers pulled on the chains with all their strength, the Chimera's huge body collapsed helplessly..
Wow——!
I struggled to get up, but it was no use. As he was just born, he was still weak..
Six Living Armors began throwing powerful javelins at the restrained man..
But these were not the warlocks who would just watch with open eyes..
They just hid for a moment to avoid the steel rain.,
They gathered again near the altar and stretched out their hands toward the sky..
Gooooo——!
Then a purple magic circle bloomed from their grasp.,
Soon, a purple cloud began to form higher than the portal..
Rumble——!
'That… … It is a wide-area lightning spell..’
At that sign, Lee Hyun-wook also had no choice but to get nervous. Lightning magic is much more destructive and instantaneous than regular lightning magic, so if you are caught off guard, you will be reduced to dust..
In an instant, the world turned white, and lightning struck the rooftop..
Huh——huh——!
One Living Armor unit that took a direct hit was shattered into pieces..
Huh——huh——!
Lightning struck again, and the two Living Armor units were tragically separated and scattered around..
As many as three Living Armor units were retired in a short period of time..
Many people watching this scene swallowed dry saliva..
Because things never looked good..
But in fact, this was the moment Lee Hyun-wook had been waiting for..
'—It's now.’
The attention of all warlocks guarding the Chimera was focused on the Living Armor..
In other words, the guard against Lee Hyun-wook has become looser..
As always, he did not miss the 'gap' that the enemy found..
He lifted his left hand to the sky and then swung it very hard toward the floor..
P——billion——!
A bloody roar, as expected, it was Mowglei..
It penetrated the chimera.
Wow.......
However, unlike the Jongbi troll, he did not die from that single blow..
But this time it wasn't the end.
"shockwave—”
Lee Hyun-wook recited like that..
Then, Mowglei began to vibrate..
yes—!
Mogley's original mass is several tens of tons..
However, it was only ‘sealed’ and suppressed by magic..
A skill that instantly releases such concentrated mass and generates an enormous shock wave.
This was Shockwave..
Lee Hyun-wook placed the Mogley on the guy's head and activated it.,
For a moment, Mowglai's huge body trembled as if it might explode at any moment........
T-uh-uh-uh—!
A huge wave exploded like an explosion. The air in the area trembled like a wave, all the warlocks standing around were blown away, and the brick altar collapsed..
Naturally, the chimera's head was shattered into pieces..
Occipital head — Occipital head—
As if an old pumpkin had been exploded, its flesh was scattered everywhere..
- congratulations! Defeated the world boss monster ‘Chimera’!
At the same time, the contents of the 'All Notices' floating in the sky were changed..
- The ‘World Boss Monster (Chimera)’ that occurred in the area has been eradicated..
“done.”
This happened just 5 minutes after the world fell into frustration with the news of the appearance of a world boss monster..
This left the world in bewilderment for a while..
- congratulations! You have achieved a special achievement.
As I caught such an enormous being as a world boss monster, I naturally achieved an achievement..
But there was no time to check the details now..
The chimera was killed, but removing the erosion factor was the most important issue..
To do that, it was first necessary to clean out the troublesome warlocks..
They were now unconscious from being caught in the shock wave..
Lee Hyun-wook sent a fail note..
hush—!
However, a black sphere flew from somewhere and bounced off Hyunwook Lee’s fail note..
"You are the boss monster?”
The skin covered in red robes was a red orc, a red orc..
It was clear that the boss monster of the Multi-Race Warlock Society was ‘High-ranking Warlock’..
The guy glared at Lee Hyun-wook and suddenly turned his back..
Then, using teleportation, he appeared on a railing about 20 meters away..
Is he really trying to run away??
But it made no sense to run away from the erosion factor..
But the guy grinned and looked down at the railing..
Lee Hyun-wook followed the guy’s gaze and looked in that direction… … He couldn't help but be astonished..
“shit—!”
Following Park Jun-mo's lead, hundreds of civilians were exiting the underground parking lot..
"what are you thinking now……."
Looking at the evil smile, Lee Hyun-wook's prediction was correct..
‘After killing civilians, they want to absorb their souls.!’
From the beginning, chimeras were life forms created based on human life force..
In other words, that guy was a warlock who controlled ‘life force’..
In other words, the intention was to slaughter humans and use their souls to replenish their power..
If lightning struck those hundreds of civilians, dozens of them would die instantly..
"Park Jun-mo—Avoid immediately!”
At that cry, Park Jun-mo raised his head..
And then they made eye contact with the warlock who was looking down at them..
But it's already too late.
Huh——huh——!
A ray of lightning spewed out by a purple cloud struck the civilians..
however…….
support——
A lightning strike that flew at the speed of light... … It stopped tall in the air..
"......."
Before we knew it, Park Jun-mo’s right hand was pointing towards the sky.,
A blue electric current was flowing between his fingers..
“omg—!”
……Park Jun-mo himself also looked surprised..
Even Lee Hyun-wook couldn’t help but be surprised..
‘Park Jun-mo… … The delicacy of current control has risen to a significant level..’
Park Jun-mo soon came to his senses and stretched out both hands to the rooftop..
Then the lightning that was stopped in the air was shot in that direction..
bang—!
However, the accuracy was not very high and it hit the 4th floor of the department store..
Immediately after, Park Jun-mo stumbled and had a bloody nose..
It seemed like he was exerting more control than he was capable of and was putting a strain on his body..
"good job—!”
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook rushed towards the guy and fired a pale note..
But at that very moment, his palm once again turned towards Park Jun-mo..
Huh——huh——!
A second lightning strike.
Park Jun-mo seemed powerless to stop it due to the shock from earlier..
However, after moving away from the civilians, he directed the lightning towards himself..
Kwa——ang——!
Lightning struck, denting the asphalt as if a meteor had hit..
But this time, something strange happened again..
“Uh, uh… … What is this……."
It was definitely a hit, but Park Jun-mo was very fine..
And the blue electric current was being absorbed into Park Jun-mo's body..
