A Player Who Eats Metal - Chapter 121

Steel eating player chapter 121

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

Only one foreign player ended a war that had been going on for years.

It was also the result of destroying the enemy’s main force with just one battle.

“Ha… Really, I finished it by myself.”

Sophie Green sighed among those who watched the scene.

To be honest, I thought it would be difficult for even Lee Hyun-wook to hit ‘Central Hangar’ with blood and blood.

Therefore, he tried to persuade Lee Hyun-wook to wait for the resistance army’s support and then launch the Yangdong operation.

But he said it was okay, and without time to stop, he walked into the enemy’s camp, head-on.

That was only 15 minutes ago.

In other words, the situation was over in 15 minutes.

“Oh no, are there such monsters all over the world?”

Bowie Bertrand, the second member of the Resistance, shook his head with a look of absurdity rather than joy.

It was such an overwhelming force that the struggles they had been fighting over the past few years seemed meaningless.

At such a terrifying man, I was almost ashamed of myself for pointing a gun at him a while ago.

“Among those monsters, it’s the most popular monster these days… but honestly, it doesn’t make sense.”

It was a self-evident fact that a weapon made of low-grade metal could not be his opponent.

‘However, there must be limits to such powers… … .’

No matter how brilliant the ability, it was natural to face the absolute limit of mana depletion.

Therefore, using skills carefully and with the highest efficiency was a virtue of a master who is often referred to as a master.

But he didn’t see that.

‘No, I don’t think there was even any sign of trying to control mana in the first place… … .’

Just mercilessly, using all the firepower he had, he thoroughly crushed the enemies.

‘That man… … Are there any limits?’

I’ve been surprised like this several times already, and the more I watch from the side, the more my doubts grow, far from understanding.

‘Yeah, Hyunwook Lee… … It is certain that there is something beyond common sense.’

While Sophie was so admiring, the Resistance reinforcements arrived behind her back.

It was a procession of 31 trucks, the main unit of the Resistance.

“—All troops, dispersed into teams, and wipe out the remaining troops!”

At Bowie Bertrand’s command, the resistance forces advanced into the central hangar, covered in gray smoke.

However…….

“… … They’re all dead here too! It’s practically annihilated, guys?”

“But what the hell did he die for? There are hardly any signs of battle?”

“From what I heard earlier, they said that the commendations came and killed them on their own.”

The central hangar was already in a state of destruction, so the resistance occupied the facility without spilling a drop of blood.

Subsequently, a sinkhole with a depth of several tens of meters was discovered in the center of the enemy camp.

“Wow, this isn’t just a hole! There’s a lot of space down there!”

“Wow— you bastards, when did you build these underground facilities again?”

Several players, including Sophie, went down the sinkhole through ‘floating magic’.

and… … .

“Uh, Stilane is over there!”

Hyeonwook Lee, soldiers belonging to the Ndoz League were scattered around him.

Perhaps the last battle was held here.

However, one of the corpses of a particularly large giant caught our attention.

“Uh, wait a minute… is that person standing, is he Lyon Noir?”

The moment they saw the half face that had been split vertically, everyone could not help but be astonished.

Lyon Noir… … The strength of that barbarian player could not have been known by the Resistance.

“Huh! That guy can’t even hurt with any attack, how…”

The resistance soldiers who had fought against the man several times had an expression of disbelief.

“And look at this size! He even died ‘giantizing’!”

“Huh… if it’s in a giant state, it’s enough to do an ogre with bare hands…”

A tycoon they did not dare to deal with is slaughtered like a pitiful beast. Although he was an enemy, he was still the strongest player in his country, so his tragic death was quite shocking.

“And that sword over there…”

Meanwhile, the giant sword Mowglay was floating high in the air behind Hyunwook Lee’s back.

The fact that he cut Lyon Noir with that very sword could be known without seeing it in person.

“Hey, would you believe that sword smashed the Sentinel Tower in one hit?”

“Yes? Anyway, how do you destroy a tower with a sword?”

“After all… you guys, this actually happened before the reinforcements arrived.”

They stared blankly at the stranger who had saved their country and shed some admiration.

“…Sophie, have the Resistance reinforcements arrived?”

When Lee Hyun-wook opened his mouth, the resistance soldiers stopped talking and silence came.

“Yes, that’s right. But… what the hell are you doing here?”

Sophie looked around and asked. This place was like a relic of an old ancient civilization.

“Probably a secret testing site for outside forces supporting the Ndoz League.”

Lee Hyun-wook said so and pointed somewhere.

“-Ugh!”

The moment he turned his head following his fingertips, everyone was shocked. He had witnessed hundreds of corpses in the tanks lined up on either side of the altar where the bones of the Red Drake were placed.

It was a horrendous sight to behold. It was then that the pungent odor of drugs stung my nostrils.

“Hey, what the hell… what the hell was going on here?”

No matter how horrific this civil war was, it was absurd to treat people that way.

“Damn, how could they do such a terrible thing…they really were demons…”

The spectacle of evil deeds that a human could never commit… …

Evil sighs erupted from here and there.

“Sophie, we need to mobilize our forces to thoroughly search this premises.”

“Ha— yes, it should be. Maybe there are survivors.”

Inside, there might be a clue to grabbing the Necromancer’s tail.

Lee Hyun-wook showed control of the metal and scanned the surroundings.

Then, it detected a number of metals within one wall.

‘There is a secret space within me.’

He swung his mogley and knocked down the brick wall.

Upon entering it, there was a small laboratory that was nothing special.

On one shelf, in a large flask, was a human skull.

‘This is also a sign that the warlocks conducted an experiment to enhance the undead.’

They would have left in a hurry when Lee Hyun-wook’s air raid started.

Then I found a fairly large safe in a corner inside the laboratory.

‘This safe is metal, but my control of the metal doesn’t work.’

It was probably covered with a fairly classy magic shield.

However, after a few taps with Mowglay, the magic shield was able to peel off.

Go away!

Inside the safe was an iron box, which itself was an item.

[Item information]

– Name: Paracelsus’ Alchemy Set (Heroic)

– Effect: Various alchemy skills are greatly improved when using this tool.

‘Five… … You must have moved so quickly that you left these things behind?’

Alchemy set item, this was a fairly rare item. This was because, with just one item, multiple alchemy skill levels could be expected to rise. But it’s a ‘hero’ rating.

‘that is great. I was planning to set up an Alchemy Lab in the future… … .’

For him, he was promised technical support for alchemy from Hyo-Min Koo, the granddaughter of Gukwang Group and an alchemist player.

‘If this is an item like this, it will be of great help to the development of alchemy.’

However, other than such a small income, there was no evidence to trace the Necromancer.

‘Well, if the necromancer is the final weapon the villain has planned, he will thoroughly hide its existence……’

In other words, these regional facilities would not only exist here, but would be hidden all over the world.

Still, knowing that the Necromancer was already growing was a great harvest.

‘… … I’ve been thinking about how to deal with him for a long time.’

And now, the conditions to make it happen have been met.

‘I couldn’t achieve it in my previous life… … Form a magical machine corps enchanted with divine power to stop them.’

The commander of the death corps, a necromancer, to face soon… … .

I was planning to make sure I was ready to eat him.

***

As the world turned into a game, ordinary weapons practically lost their power.

Even so, the state-of-the-art equipment in which human wisdom was concentrated still had many useful things.

For example, satellites were a better means of obtaining information than any other item.

“……”

Sung-Moon Woo was sitting in his office, watching the video filmed by the very military satellite.

In front of him stood Gyo-Jun Lee, the team leader, who came in with the video.

“This is a video shot 4 days ago, every 6 hours from 11 PM to the present.”

In a thermal imaging camera image taken by a military satellite, red dots—the distribution of lifeforms were changing.

“This is an empty lot in the southwest of Shanghai, and an unusual trend has been observed since a week ago.”

The red dots that gradually increased and darkened every 6 hours, and one of those dots was one black orc.

And in the lower right corner, how many red dots were detected and the measured number is displayed.

– 5,814

As of 3 hours ago, a whopping 5,814… … So the video ended.

This meant that 5,814 Black Orcs were gathered in one place.

“Well, is the main force of the Black Orcs gathering in this place right now?”

“Yeah, that’s right. That place is the rallying point for what they call Red War Rock.”

“Ha… this certainly seems to mean that you are preparing for war…”

And that wasn’t all.

The video that followed was not a thermal imaging camera, but a real photograph.

Again, it was a picture taken with a military satellite, and it looked like creatures with some wings were flying in groups. At first glance, it looked like a very small flock of migratory birds. But… … The moment they recognized that they were sitting in a skyscraper in Shanghai, the scene began to look quite different.

that… … It was a ‘wyvern’ herd of hundreds of animals.

The rulers of the sky, each of which was over 30m tall, were a collection of hundreds of them.

“Hmm, it’s a Wyvern…”

In other words, if they invade this land, air penetration through the Wyvern was a strong situation.

“Are you really planning on going into an all-out war now?”

Just a few months ago, the Black Orc Kingdom declared war on Korea.

Since then, black orcs have infiltrated this land twice and carried out acts of terrorism.

There was a lot of public opinion calling for a retaliatory attack rather than just being victimized by this… … .

Even so, it was a wise response to avoid an all-out war by any means possible.

But now it seemed impossible.

The Black Orc race seemed to be trying to take Laputa by any means.

And I didn’t even know that the war itself was an unstoppable ‘event’.

There was one name that came to mind at this time.

“… … But has the location of team leader Lee Hyun-wook been confirmed?”

“Yes, I looked it up and it says that he entered Chennai, India.”

Lee Hyun-wook’s disappearance didn’t happen in a day or two, but this time the period was rather long.

“Ha… Really, I’m worried that sometimes I’m being overly selfish.”

Team leader Lee Kyo-jun still couldn’t hide his displeasure whenever he evaluated Lee Hyun-wook.

“Lee, don’t worry too much. Is the Lee Hyun-wook you know a fool?”

“Not really, but because we can’t reach you during these critical times.”

At that point, Sung-Moon Woo smiled.

“Yeah, in the end, aren’t we saying it’s a pity that we desperately need Lee Hyun-wook?”

“… … That is undeniable. This country needs Lee Hyun-wook’s strength in many ways.”

In this way, a player named Hyun-wook Lee became an essential existence in this country from a certain moment.

“By the way, I heard that Lee Sung-yoon is also in Korea this time.”

“Yeah, the night before yesterday, he called and asked to have dinner together.”

“… … Oh, is the Gravity Mage finally going to do something important like this?”

Team leader Lee Kyo-jun had a somewhat excited expression unlike when Lee Hyun-wook talked about it.

Seongyoon Lee, the strongest player in this country in name and reality as an S-class player who handles gravity… … .

No matter how prominent Lee Hyun-wook’s performance was recently, Lee Seong-yoon’s achievements were different.

“Well, I don’t know if it will be of any help, since I’m such a busy person…”

Whether such Lee Seong-yoon would appear or not would have to be discussed later.

“Yeah? Even if it’s a war crisis, will you pretend you don’t know?”

“That man has a bigger dream than the existence of a nation.”

Woo Seong-moon was well aware of the noble sense of purpose the man had.

But nonetheless, Woo Seong-moon’s basic principle was that he should take care of his country first.

“Me, Chief? By the way… that pre-emptive strike operation that Lee Hyun-wook talked about last time.”

Not long ago, Woo Seong-moon predicted a war with the Black Orcs in a meeting with Lee Hyun-wook.

There, Hyunwook Lee brought out a surprising word that no one could have thought of.

“Really, a magic missile bombing… is that possible?”

“Theoretically, there is nothing that cannot be made if the conditions are favorable.”

So far, none of the conditions have been met, so no one has been able to challenge it.

However, Lee Hyun-wook was preparing a fairly plausible condition.

“But… I honestly don’t know if I have time to prepare for it now.”

Hyun-wook Lee was not here, so he had no idea how his plans were going.

‘No, maybe… … Maybe that’s why I went to India.’

Woo Seong-moon was now well aware that each and every action of Lee Hyun-wook had a great meaning.

***

In Bangui, the capital of CAR, Lee Hyun-wook was riding an old wagon across the street.

“Now it seems to be in order to some extent.”

At his words, the seat next to him, Sophie Green, opened his mouth.

“Well, the supreme commander of the Ndoz League, Muhammad Makachev, has not been arrested yet, and his nephews, the Enchantress Twins, are also missing. However, the situation is very good.”

Stilane, the unjust strike with that name completely disrupted the Ndoz League.

It was a natural result as the troops in the central hangar reached 70% of the Ndoz Federation.

No matter how much the “Enchantress Twins” were alive, there was nothing they could do without armored weapons.

In other words, the charter had already completely shifted to the resistance side.

“With virtually all of their infrastructure in their CAR gone, I can’t even dream of it.”

In response, the Provisional Government of the Resistance Army moved to the capital, Bangui, and began to establish a new administration.

The CAR people have long supported the resistance, so everything went smoothly.

To get there, it took a whole week.

In the meantime, Hyunwook Lee obtained the right to attack the hidden stage of ‘Vishnu Labyrinth’ as promised.

Two days ago, with the help of several CAR players, we succeeded in attacking.

It was a fairly difficult gate, but it did not pose a great threat to Lee Hyun-wook.

‘The hidden stage is not that difficult as long as you know what’s coming out of it.’

In my previous life, I had the experience of attacking a hidden stage similar to Vishnu’s labyrinth a few times.

Therefore, they successfully attacked without a major crisis, and the time has finally come to return to Korea.

“I, by the way… how was the reward for attacking the hidden stage?”

“Well, it was fine.”

To Sophie’s question, Hyunwook Lee briefly answered while looking out the window.

“I think, if it’s a hidden stage where getting an entry key is so difficult, the reward would be pretty good… How was it? At least the hero level is… big, is it rude to ask something like this?”

It was Sophie who was joking around, but Lee Hyun-wook just nodded her head dryly.

Looking at it, Sophie thought to herself.

‘… … Uh, I guess the reward wasn’t very good?’

If a really good item came out, there would usually be a mark on your face.

At least if it was a hero grade, its value could not be set in money.

‘At least it won’t be below the hero level, but it may still not live up to expectations… … .’

However, Lee Hyun-wook’s inner thoughts were quite different from her expectations.

‘… … It’s a lot bigger than I thought.’

After returning to the dormitory, Lee Hyun-wook took out the item he had ‘engraved’ on his wrist.

It was the ‘chakram’, a prototype thrown weapon.

[Item information]

– Name: Sudarsana (legendary)

– effect

1) Returning: When the owner orders a return, it returns again.

2) Chakra emission: When thrown, it emits powerful energy along the movement path.

3) Chakra Explosion: At one point, it spins super fast and explodes with destructive energy.

First of all, ‘Sudarsana’ This item was already expected.

That’s why I came all the way here in the first place.

‘If you use this well, you can create a weapon of fraudulent firepower.’

Thus, it would be able to give a huge blow to the Black Orc Kingdom.

However, Lee Hyun-wook also did not know what other items would come out.

However, unexpected luck has come.

Hyunwook Lee pulled something out of his pocket.

It was, at first glance, a stick-shaped object that looked like a branch.

And it wasn’t just one, it was two.

[Item information]

– Name: Superlative Replica (Special)

– Effect: Imitates items of hero grade or lower and reproduces them with a 50% effect. (Cannot be modified)

“To get two of these at once…”

This was a very surprising result for Lee Hyun-wook as well.

Lee Hyun-wook took out Mowglay from the subspace of AD-1 without any hesitation.

‘As expected, there is nothing that can be applied to this other than Mowglay.’

– Superlative replicas imitate ‘the item (moglay)’!

Uh–

Then, the two ‘top-notch replicas’ lit up, and they started to grow bigger and bigger.

And in the next moment, three giant swords appeared in front of Lee Hyun-wook.
