The Player Who Eats Steel - Episode 93

93fury. 

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

At 7 p.m., in the old city of Mapo-gu, where darkness was slowly falling, a power outage occurred in the area, and all the lights disappeared at once..

However, only one point was flashing with a blue light..

P—G—G—G—G——!

There, a 15m tall monster with sprouted horns stood tall. A strange sight, as if the devil from hell had appeared... … However, its limbs were tied up with electric wires, and the blue sparks flowing from there were hitting the whole body and making a loud popping sound..

In transmission and distribution equipment, if there is such an overcurrent, the fuse will explode and the current supply will be interrupted, but Park Jun-mo's power was able to forcibly extract the current that had stopped flowing and at the same time minimize 'discharge'..

“Wow——!”

Thus, the current that was originally supposed to run wild and flow onto the road surface was controlled and continuously pumped into the body of that monster..

Soon the surface of its body was burning and a scorching smell was present..

‘Park Jun-mo has now become a truly useful weapon..’

He was a talent that Lee Hyun-wook discovered did not exist in his past life..

but…….

‘……This alone cannot kill that monster..’

Just as even Lee Hyeon-wook could not kill monsters with 'ordinary metal', Park Jun-mo also had no choice but to hit his limits no matter how much 'ordinary electricity' he received..

That was a natural rule in this era. Since weapons not made with ‘magical power’ cannot break the monster’s ‘barrier’… … Even if you are a level 90 demon incarnate..

‘Still, electric shock is effective, so it's enough to tie him up like that..’

Clap—

When the big man's body was completely submerged by the electric current, Lee Hyun-wook took out 'Black Rhino' and walked towards him..

Its huge eyes were trembling, turning over and over again..

In other words, at least for now, it is clearly incapacitated.…….

"Okay, hold on tight like that! I handle it.!”

Meanwhile, Seo Eun-ha and Kim Se-hee kept an eye on the half-collapsed motel building. As much as I knew that Taejun Choi was with other devil worshipers, I had no idea what they were going to do..

In addition to them, AMT troops appeared on the rooftops of nearby buildings and began preparing for sniping..

In addition, reporters who came after smelling the smell, knowingly or unknowingly, were setting up cameras at a distance. They couldn't let go of the unprecedented scoop that was Lee Hyun-wook..

With their eyes gathered together,

Lee Hyun-wook raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger one after another..

Qua—ang——!

Clap—

Qua—ang——!

The point that Lee Hyun-wook was aiming for was both of the guy’s knees. The electric shock had stiffened his muscles and tendons, but after each blow, blood burst out and his thick legs bent like chicken bones..

thud——!

Then, naturally, the gun was pointed at the guy's head.,

yes—

- ‘Black Rhino's skill 'Destruction Spray' is available for use.!

“This is the end.”

Before pulling the trigger, Lee Hyun-wook put a rigid body on his entire body. In particular, he focused on the thickness of the joint area..

And as he pulled the trigger, he prepared for the recoil by giving his body metal control so he wouldn't be thrown back..

and trigger—

Qua—and—and—and—and—and——!

3As the magic circle blooms, the ‘shells’ remaining in the ‘subspace magazine’ are ejected all at once..

Hundreds of 'pellets' fired in this way violently vibrated the air along the ballistic curve, creating visible waves..

The scene, which felt as if a jet engine was spraying from the muzzle of a gun, was worthy of being called a 'steel storm'..

hoo-du-du-duk——

The skin of the face of Molech, covered by the steel storm, was torn to shreds..

Eyes were gouged out and pieces of the nose and ear were torn off on a nearby telephone pole, and dark red blood spattered behind him and on the wall of the building, leaving a strange-looking graffiti..

but.......

Hold - hold—

With a bizarre sound, bubbles began to bubble up from the wound and the skin began to regenerate rapidly..

"Damn it, isn't this enough?……."

It was a turning point, but this monster... … As it was directly supplied with the power of the devil, its defense and recovery power were greater than expected..

Even though ‘Black Rhino’ had the best firepower in its class, it lacked absolute ‘class’..

bang! bang! bang! bang!

Lee Hyun-wook continued to pull the trigger. However, now that the 'shell' has run out, only the flames coming from the 'Agni Crystal' are sprayed..

In fact, that alone was a tremendous amount of firepower, but it could only do so much to singe the ends of this monster's fur..

Lee Hyun-wook eventually lowered his gun..

He was much more powerful than he expected..

‘Well, that kind of form shouldn't appear right now.…….'

‘Dr. Bull’ Choi Tae-jun, who will later be called the leader of villains… … Such an incarnated state had to be completed almost four years later by making a huge offering to Moloch..

But now, it was forcibly pulled out through nectar..

In other words, with overpower, it was natural that it would be difficult to deal with at the moment..

‘I guess… … I guess I'll have to do it differently..’

He had his ‘internal furnace’ running at full blast..

- Your body's furnace kicks in and metal absorption efficiency skyrockets.. (+200%)

Then my stomach felt like it was melting..

"Pfft......."

Before being deployed to the operation, Lee Hyun-wook requested 100 grams of orihalcone from Commander Kwak Sang-pil. And of course, I swallowed it as soon as I received it and have been slowly digesting it ever since..

‘Metal control is about to reach 500kg.......'

And the moment you reach that point—

‘—There will be a weapon that can crush that big guy..’

I tried not to reveal this here, but to leave it as a so-called 'trump card' to be used later at a critical moment, but I couldn't afford that luxury right now..

Lee Hyun-wook looked back at Park Jun-mo..

"Park Jun-mo, can you hold on just a little longer??”

“—Pfft, yeah! I'll try it!”

Hyunwook Lee summoned an item from one of the AD-1s.

The great sword Moglay, it fell free and hit the ground..

thud——

Lee Hyun-wook felt his stomach sink, grabbed the sack of Moglei and looked back at Seo Eun-ha..

“Lieutenant Seo, would you please grant divine power to this??”

***

"Wow......."

Inside the motel, which was completely destroyed by Lee Hyun-wook's indiscriminate attack, someone was moaning softly..

"Shit, I never thought I would get hit by such a blind attack.……."

An old Japanese man with a graying beard was sitting in the hallway, clutching his side. And next to him was a black boy rummaging through his bag..

“Master, please do not be offended. I just had bad luck.”

"No, it's because they're all old. Didn't you cleverly use that bracelet's single-player shield skill??”

“That's because I'm an assassin player, so the reaction was just good. If I had been better, I would have taken off the bracelet and put it on my teacher's arm.……."

“Cough — damn it……."

At the very moment when Lee Hyun-wook randomly destroyed the 5th floor of the motel building through AD-1, they escaped from the mirror - the devil's passage..

Even though he was nervous, the old man allowed himself to be damaged once..

"Ugh, this is Won, I guess my organs were injured and the bleeding won’t stop… … If I do something wrong, I will be a guest.……."

The biggest weakness of those who received the power of the devil and reached the extremes of the dark series was that recovery through 'healing' was impossible. That was a natural mechanism since the source of healing is ‘divine power’..

Of course, there were some things related to recovery among black magic, but since most of them required taking the 'life force' of others, the process was extremely complicated compared to healing..

"Master, I have found the water of life! ah… … But the illness… … It’s broken… … Still, about a third of it remains.!”

"Yes, it's still a liquid made from purified blood of a 7-year-old girl, so it's something that can save this old man's life.!”

He took the water of life with such terrible ingredients..

"flaw… … The pain is going away..”

Then he blew out smoke from his index finger and summoned a flying insect..

It spread its wings and flew out of the building, and the old man was able to look out through the insect's gaze..

‘The manipulator of steel, Lee Hyun-wook... … He's a lot scarier than I thought..’

Choi Tae-jun, a servant of Molech, became an incarnation by directly contacting Molech after drinking the legendary 'Nectar'..

As an old man who knew its power, it was natural for him to think that the monster would devastate this city.,

Meanwhile, after completing his recovery, he planned to use all possible methods to find a way to get out of this place..

‘But, as if restraining it so it can't move isn't enough, you're trying to blow its head off... … He's a scary guy..’

He clicked his tongue as he looked down at the battered incarnation of Molech..

It felt like a scene that didn't make sense for a being of that level to be beaten so senselessly. Should I say it's like a monkey toying with a lion?…….

“after… … No matter what happens, the incarnation of Molech will not die..”

Although it was possible to tie it up, it didn't seem to have the power to kill it. That too was the same as a monkey playing with a lion, but not being able to kill it..

However, as there was a possibility that another wild animal capable of eating the lion would appear, they had to quickly find a way to escape from this place..

‘Come to think of it, I heard that Kang Seo-yoon, that woman, is in this land. If that bitch's arrows are so numerous, even the incarnation of Molech wouldn't be able to withstand them. I need to hurry.’

It was then.

Hung——

His shadow suddenly began to lengthen, and something leapt out of it..

It was two people.

"shadow baron……."

The man in the gray mask was the famous ‘Shadow Baron’. And behind him stood a man with a hood pulled down..

“after! Old Man Shinshoku, it was a good thing you kept that drop of blood, right? It's a trade secret, and it can help you find someone's shadow.!”

“Cough—”

“yes? however… … Why are you lying there with such a sad expression? Has the arthritis gotten better??”

At those words, the old man called Shinshoku shook his head..

“Tsk, I wish you had shown up a little earlier.……."

“what? From the beginning, didn’t our guests say that they were in the demon world of Incheon? It was actually us who made a mistake. I'm sad......."

In this way, the method prepared by the devil worshipers to escape Choi Tae-jun was the shadow baron..

He was famous for his criminal express train, which provided a very convenient means of transportation for a large fee..

And at the same time, the villain faction was also keeping an eye on Choi Tae-jun, so the interests of both sides coincided..

"greatness… … Due to some circumstances, I couldn't go to the black market..”

At those words, a snickering sound was heard from within the Shadow Baron's mask..

“Ah—I wonder if that situation is because I met the unexpected ‘rain’ and got completely wet.?”

He pulled out a piece of metal stuck in the wall. Like this, the traces of steel rain sweeping through this building were evident..

“……Are you making fun of the bleeding old man? There's no service spirit in their business.?”

“No, that's not it. I empathize with you! We've been hit by one too, so we know that feeling! is not it? Ugh—”

He said that and looked back at the hooded man who came with him..

“Shut that mouth……."

The man gritted his teeth and took off his hood..

He was a sword saint, Kaito Okita..

However, his front teeth were shining gold..

"Oh, right, I guess you're not in the mood to take my jokes because 'Mr. Steele Rain' is here.?”

"Please, shut up.……."

"Yes, but today is not the time to collect money for your teeth, so I hope you keep it tight so that you don't accidentally press the quick start button..”

In fact, Okita Kaito was suppressing the urge to jump right away and take revenge on Lee Hyun-wook..

As the Shadow Baron said, it was foolish to get caught up in personal emotions at such an important moment..

“okay… … Today I will only focus on saving Choi Tae-jun, Lee Hyun-wook, and I will definitely take that bastard’s head later..”

“uh… … But look, I think Dr. Choi is a little out of his mind right now. Well, they will take care of it well.?”

Since there is a group of quite capable ‘scientists’ within the villain organization, I believed that they would somehow be able to find a way to restore it..

“Well, if not… … If I just take it to the little ‘grave keeper’, wouldn’t he be able to create better works on his own??”

“Damn it, stop talking about that horrible kid.……."

Okita Kaito clicked his tongue as if that story was bothersome..

“What is it, Sword Saint, are you jealous of that kid? Still, he liked you, didn't he??”

“……Don't talk nonsense. Is that what you like when I ask you to bring me my body when I die??”

"Ugh… … The Prince of Death promised to give me a knighthood when he ascends to the throne! Anyway, he'll be so excited if you bring him a big toy like that..”

Okita Kaito frowned and grabbed the hilt of his sword..

“……Stop the bullshit and get down quick.?”

“Okay, let’s show up in style and surprise you.?”

Soon, two people jumped out of the motel..

‘Hyunwook Lee.......'

Kaito Okita is honest.,

I wasn't sure if I could bear it..
