Steel eating player chapter 103
〈Okinawa, Unlucky Event-3〉

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

Lee Hyun-wook’s maximum firepower unfolded in the sky and a shadow cast. A whopping 30 airdrop devices,

The total number of weapons contained there was only 3,000.

If it spilled, it could never be avoided.

Then Shinichi Kato frightened and stepped back.

“Uh, why, why…… why are you doing this to me—!”

“… … Shinichi Kato, isn’t that your name?”

From the moment this man appeared, Lee Hyun-wook noticed everything.

As we already know that this is an event where a Doppelganger comes out, it was natural that someone who approaches alone is likely to be a Doppelganger.

However, there was a more accurate, or even perfect, ‘foundation’.

-Unknown entity (LV：98)

That was a system message.

‘It is also 〈Insight Lens〉.’

Like this, NPCs or monsters could not fool his eyes. It’s the result of swallowing the legendary item, “Eyes of Horus.”

At that time, Nagano Tai held Lee Hyun-wook’s shoulder.

“Huh? …… Now, wait a minute!”

“Mr. Nagano, please get out.”

“Is that real? Isn’t Lee Hyun-wook wrong?”

She also had the presence of Doppelganger in mind, but the conversation a while ago made Shinichi Kato convinced that he was a real person.

‘… … Yes, I did look around very smartly.’

It was the same to Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes.

When she brought up the name of the escapee she suspected of being a Doppelganger—Shizuoko Koga, the boy waited and said that he was’dead.’ This convinces Shizuoko Koga outside the dome as a doppelganger and at the same time imprints himself unconsciously, saying that he is not a doppelganger.

This was actually a very simple principle.

When a person on the line of a suspect in one case testifies of the sin of another suspect, he is less suspicious of knowingly.

‘As he is a person who uses people, he sees through people’s psychology.’

Lee Hyun-wook walked toward him.

“Well, now, wait a minute, let’s talk a little more…”

Instead of answering Lee Hyun-wook, he fired a pale note from the waist dance.

Shhh!

Fook!

Funny enough, he was hit by the arrow as it was.

“Oh ah- my, please…….”

Then, it turns to the floor.

And, it grunts and creates a helpless appearance.

“—Look at this?”

Lee Hyun-wook laughed bloody because he was absurd.

Those who watched this were inevitably amazed.

“Don’t do that! You don’t resist anything!”

“Hey! If you do that crazily…….”

Hagien, if you only saw this scene, it seemed that Lee Hyun-wook was catching a raw person.

‘This guy is aiming for that.’

However, Lee Hyun-wook did not stop.

“Then, let’s play with this one.”

Whoo—oh——!

What was blown this time was “Moglay”.

If you receive it in your body, it will be cut in half,

That—oh——!

As expected, he didn’t.

No matter how much you act, you don’t want to die.

Support support——!

Some red shield wrapped it around, and Mogley bounced off.

“… … Look, can you stop it?”

This changed the mood.

“uh…….”

Those who were trying to dry Lee Hyun-wook stopped with a blank expression.

Shinichi Kato is an archer player. There was no way to use such magic.

That is… … It meant that it was likely not Shinichi Kato.

Immediately afterwards, he woke up with a bloody smile.

“… … Fuck – human cubs, I thought you could eat tighten easily grab … … this is a situation like a dog out of nowhere…….”

Suddenly his eyes were dyed red.

And black smoke came out of his mouth.

Subsequently, the hands and legs became longer and the nails grew.

Now I was sure. That wasn’t human.

-The boss monster “Trickster’s Minions-1” has appeared!

“Damn, it’s a boss monster!”

“Oh! It’s real!”

At the same time, heavy steps began to ring from everywhere.

Thump— Thump— Thump— Thump—

They were the incarnations of Eldyotun who were digging a trap at the end of the road. This time, as many as sixty, they were tightened from all sides.

“Ready to fight!”

Tai Nagano shouted so and lifted his staff.

However, the players couldn’t respond unequivocally.

“I’m sorry— but we don’t even have mana anymore… … .”

The only thing that can move now is the warriors who took the “Twilight Clover Potion”… … The rest were virtually defenseless.

“Lee Hyun-wook, can you clear the retreat…?”

However, that was not the end of the existence to deal with.

Why-A-A-A-A–!

Swarms of worms flying in the skies of the region—the monsters that emit plasma from their tails began to flock from all directions.

‘The swarm of magma horseflies, they are troublesome.’

A giant insect that reaches 1.5m from its head to its tail,

They emit a dense magma in the body.

‘It will fly over our heads and scatter magma.’

Lee Hyun-wook immediately changed “Friedwen” to a shield.

If this breaks down, there is no technology to repair it yet.

And he lowered the altitude of the AD-1s to protect them overhead.

“All gather in the middle and deploy the magic shield.”

“… … Is there any way to stop that?”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded at Nagano Tai’s question.

“I’m going to wipe it out at once.”

“Yes?”

“At that time, the magma may splatter, so please gather in the middle.”

Tongue— Tongue— Tongue— Tongue—

At that time, iron boxes fell into the subspace of AD-1.

A total of 6, they were opened with a clap- sound.

Inside it was a bunch of shurikens in the shape of a cross.

And according to Lee Hyun-wook’s hand gesture, it flew one by one.

[Item information]

-Name: Adamant Star (Advanced)

– effect

1) Rotation: When the rotational force is given, acceleration is automatically applied.

2) Eradication: The ‘penetration power’ for small monsters increases. (+50%)

Based on the Red Hall Adamant and Dungeon Steel alloy, these are the best-hardened shurikens made by beating with Hephaestus’ hammer. It also comes with an excellent option to wipe out such swarms of bugs.

“Please summon the’Sword of the Wind’ as much as possible,”

“… … Yeah? Ah yes!”

“And in time with my attack, follow the sword of the wind. If you do that…… experience will be raining down very much.”

Immediately afterwards, Lee Hyun-wook slowly raised both hands. Then the Adamant stars that floated around his body started spinning.

1 second, 2 seconds, as time goes by, the acceleration increases.

Whoop-Wap-Wap-Wap-Wap-—!

They rotated at high speed and cried threateningly.

The air around it is distorted, causing a gust of wind.

Sehee Kim also raised the sword of the wind accordingly.

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-—

Hani, the spirit of the wind, dances on her shoulder.

Then, dozens of small whirlwinds arose out of the air,

In it, the wind coagulates—the shape of a translucent blade.

“Yaah!”

Subsequently, Park Jun-mo, who was standing next to him, also poured out a bundle of electric current from 10 fingers and lifted it up in a mesh shape.

Ku-goo-goo-goo-goo-—!

Steel, wind, electric current,

All of those things come together and spin, shake, and flash.

“… … Wait.”

And at an increasingly fast pace, it starts to get tangled up roughly.

Soon overhead, when a swarm of magma horseflies approached,

“—All, grind!”

Both hands of the three faced the sky at the same time.

The storm they created in conjunction struck a swarm of magma horseflies.

Kwa-da-da-da-da-da-!

And this attack was not’random’.

He closed his eyes.

And it synchronizes with the’fugin’ that is mixed between AD-1.

-Your senses become’matched’ with’fugin’.

His senses expand 50 times. As a result, the movements of the 175 “Adamant Stars” are embodied in detail and clarity one by one, and the metal ware skillfully pursues the enemy as if they became a living bird of prey. And he grinds mercilessly and grinds again.

Until that swarm of hundreds of magma horseflies was swept away… … .

Kwa-da-da-da-da-da-!

—It took just 15 seconds.

Red flesh fluttered from the sky and magma poured down.

Three Korean teams, including Lee Hyun-wook, were sweeping the battlefield in the fuzzy smoke rising from the asphalt.

Subsequently, the incarnation of Eldyotun was replaced and ground one by one.

“…….”

Other players stare at the scene with enchantment.

‘Items, abilities, and appropriate strategy… … It is perfect.’

It was an offensive like a harmony of three beats necessary for the raid.

“Oh crazy! Dare, this, on the subject of humans!”

The boss monster, the trickster’s minion-1, screamed in anger.

But he also couldn’t avoid the three men’s offensive.

They poured down towards him.

“Wow!”

It created layers of red shield around its body.

But suddenly, Mogley was falling over his head.

What?—Uh——Eh——!

The moment the end of the heavy giant sword hits the shield properly, a “shock wave” occurred and a tremendous shock wave struck the whole area. The red shield cracked and cracked, and the next moment it broke.

“No!”

Mogley squeezed her head through the cracks.

Then he slammed his body and pierced it.

“—King!”

Pa—ji—ji—ji——!

Subsequently, Park Joon-mo’s current changed like a whip and wrapped around him.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, I held it tightly!”

And suddenly Lee Hyun-wook was floating in the air above his head.

With a shotgun, a black rhino’s muzzle on him… … .

Kwa—ang——!

Aiming fire, his body hit the floor.

Kwa—ang——!

Shooting again, the asphalt cracked and his body shattered.

Kwa—ang——!

Last shot, in his eyes… … The red eye glow evaporated.

That was it.

-You have defeated the boss monster “Trickster’s Minions-1”!

Its body became powdery and disappeared,

Only one black stone was lying in its place.

[Item information]

-Name: Unknown Black Core

-Effect: Unknown

‘This is an item that makes doppelganger.’

However, he needed a considerable level of alchemy.

‘… … It will be useful someday.’

But this wasn’t the end of this unlucky event.

– Congratulations! You have “updated” the escape conditions.

* Defeat the boss monster (1/2)

* The ‘Hell Heat’ in Muspel Port is neutralized. (-80%)

‘Yes, there wasn’t one boss monster here.’

Lee Hyun-wook already knew this.

“Uh…… is it not over yet?”

“Yes, maybe.”

Still, it was clear that things were much better.

“Oh, the debuff has definitely gone!”

“Who… Is it worth buying?”

While dealing with the boss monster, the heat inside the dome went clearly.

“Wow…… all we bought was thanks to Lee Hyun-wook!”

“Yes, that’s right, thank you so much!”

They expressed their gratitude to Lee Hyun-wook with an expression that they were likely to live.

“Well, goodbye and I hope you can help me with my work.”

“Yes? Uh… what can I do?”

Lee Hyun-wook pointed at the monster corpses without words.

Seotuk—Suhtuk—

So again, I started to save my heart.

“No, why the hell is this…….”

***

“―Here it is!”

Urasoe 2nd Shelter, I encountered a real 1st rescue team nearby.

They heard the sound of a battle happening nearby, and they were in a hurry to provide assistance, intuition that the 2nd rescue team had arrived.

“But this time…… It’s not Doppelganger, right?”

Nagano Tai whispered. Lee Hyun-wook shook his head as if he was not sure, but there was nothing caught in the Insight Lens.

After entering the shelter, numerous refugees gathered.

“… … Look, did the rescue team come again?”

“What are you doing then? Are you equally isolated?”

They still couldn’t shake their anxiety. Well, even S-class players were trapped with them, so they had to be pessimistic.

And someone walked out between them.

A man with a sharp impression on his long hair down to his shoulders,

He was Kodo Koshiro, second in the Japanese player rankings.

“Hah, I couldn’t even imagine you’d come as the 2nd rescue…….”

He did not hide his surprise after discovering Lee Hyun-wook.

“Kodo, nice to meet you. I had to travel to Japan someday because Japan was safe, but I didn’t know I was going to come this way.”

Kodo Koshiro’s eyebrows wriggled at Lee Hyun-wook’s words.

That was one more twist on the words “Japan is safe”, which he said sarcastically at Lee Hyun-wook in an interview before the start of the dome.

“greatness-”

But I couldn’t make it feel bad.

In the first place, it was Kodo Koshiro himself, who first tried to fertilize.

And above all, the priority was to finish this situation.

The two ended their nerve war and shook hands briefly.

“… … What kind of boss monster did you kill by the way?”

“Yes, but in the system message, there is one left.”

“Well…… I have something to show you, but let’s go with me.”

Kodo Koshiro led Lee Hyun-wook to the rooftop of the shelter building.

“Hey, can you see it?”

He said so and held out his telescope.

“There are a total of two portals, that mountain, that mountain, and that’s a double gate.”

As he said, there were gates on the two buds of the small hillside.

This is a phenomenon that happened during the last’Seoul Station Unlucky Event’.

“As a result of our observation here, so far, all monsters appear only on the left side. In other words, one is still on standby.”

“Then, there will be the rest of the boss monster in the right gate?”

He nodded.

“The hellish heat wave has subsided, so we will resume our attack. Soon, the sun will set, so we are moving as soon as the day is bright. How about?”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded at his suggestion.

“By the way, Hyun-wook Lee…….”

“Yes?”

“… … I have one request.”

He began to raise his voice by looking around the crowd around him. Most of them were Japanese players.

“Aren’t these human trials we face a kind of game?”

For what he intended, he lucked out somewhat grandiosely.

“And people are enjoying this game for entertainment, not only players like us, but also civilians watching it.”

“… … Well, there are some people like that.”

At Lee Hyun-wook’s answer, he shrugged with a bloody smile.

“No, most of them. Okinawans trapped here are desperate, but what about the people outside? Well, on the outside, I am worried and sad, but in reality…… In order to enjoy this Buddhist temple properly, I gathered in front of the TV and chatted with the people around me. There will be.”

Come to think of it, Kodo Koshiro was such a geek. I used to argue that this terrible catastrophe was just a fun game after all.

“So that’s why. As the main characters of this TV show, why don’t you give the viewers one more fun? Anyway, it wouldn’t be difficult to attack without’hell heatwave’.”

“… … I’m not sure what that means.”

He smiled and looked straight into Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes.

“… … It’s a match between you and me. Isn’t it cool?”

“…….”

“In particular, it will be a significant stimulus for both Korea and Japan.”

“Now, who catches the boss monster first—”

Yes, let’s make a bet. I bet each other’s items.”

It was ridiculous to bet in this situation.

“Well, if you don’t want to do it, I don’t intend to force it either.”

Now, the pride of Japan was crumpled.

The first rescue team, which started ambitiously, failed.

And, by the way, Lee Hyun-wook of Korea participated in the second rescue.

Even he did an amazing job and saved everyone.

‘… … If it ends like this, it’s a shame.’

Kodo Koshiro thought so.

After this, no matter how much he demonstrates his skills, even if he achieves the first place in contribution, Lee Hyun-wook is attracting attention in the context.

And Japan’s honor, including himself, is markedly declining.

So, what’s a good way to dilute this situation?

‘… … It is to create a more stimulating story.’

First, Kodo Koshiro proposes a confrontation to Lee Hyun-wook.

Its results are divided into two.

First, he refused because he was not confident.

Second, they accepted the offer, but as a result, they were disastrously defeated.

The moment he makes this proposal, one of the two is unconditionally established.

‘It is not who is heroic that the public who enjoys play is most interested in, but who has won whom and how.

That’s why people are so excited about PVP.

Attaching’VS’ between the heroes who are leading the world,

What else can gossip about as fun as that?

In other words, just by making such a suggestion, his name runs behind Lee Hyun-wook’s performances, saying, “The pendulum in the confrontation with Kodo Kojiro.”

‘Lee Hyun-wook, I will remain behind your name forever!’

Kodo Kojiro was a man who wanted to be the main character of this game.

“… … What do you bet on?”

“What about any hero-grade weapon you have with each other?”

“…….”

“I wanted to have that huge sword.”

Then, the ‘Hook-‘ in the surroundings burst out.

It was a bet that took a hero-grade weapon, so the level was different.

“…….”

Lee Hyun-wook pretended to be worrying, then reached out his hand.

“Hahaha! Lee Hyun-wook, is the distribution too big?”

So, out of nowhere the mini-game began.

***

“……No, are you really confident?”

Sehee Kim asked with an anxious expression.

Although Lee Hyun-wook attacked a boss monster with tremendous base and firepower, she could not beat Kodo Kojiro with pure firepower.

“Do you know that man is the best with a single firepower?”

Lee Hyun-wook nodded.

Kodo Kojiro, “Waist Gain,” an S-class player with wind control ability.

Like that nickname, he creates a waist gain and sweeps everything away.

Two years ago, while attacking an open gate in Hokkaido’s Akan National Park, a scene where 100 hectares of mountainous land were destroyed in just 10 minutes—the destructive madness earned the nickname “Hurrigain”.

“Because I’m a spirit of the wind, I’ve done a lot of research on that guy, so I know it’s not called the nickname waist gain for no reason. His firepower is as good as Inferno. It’s going to be hard.”

By the way, Lee Hyun-wook simply nodded silently.

“No, but why do you take such a ridiculous bet?”

Lee Hyun-wook only shrugged, but did not answer.

“No, my boss, it’s been a while…”

But inside… … I was calling for pleasure.

‘Kodo Kojiro, what was the hero level he had?’

He wasn’t thinking about quality, in this absurd bet.

‘… … Loki’s prank, the trap of deception is not over yet.’

Originally in history, the 2nd rescue team failed after being fooled by a Doppelganger.

After that, King Kwon Han Tae-san was put into service as the third rescue.

It was when I noticed the existence of “Doppelganger”, but… … .

‘But even the Han Tae-san team struggles.’

The reason was that another’deception’ remained.

At the moment when “hell chloride” subsides and becomes vigilant, the last trap that no one expected, a large trap, opens.

For that very moment, Lee Hyun-wook was continuing to prepare for “something” from the moment he entered this dome.

But just betting like this… … .

‘… … Rather, I’m just thankful.’

Somehow in the Japanese archipelago,

The name Lee Hyun-wook seemed to be inscribed with notoriety.
