Steel eating player chapter 128

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

The black tentacles that came up from deep underground were crawling up the building.

Quadd——

“crazy… … Where the hell did that come from?”

In a half-tilted building, Kang Seo-yoon, who jumped down from there and landed on the ground, protested the arrow.

The shape of the tentacles could not be recognized properly because the white dust covered the city center.

Still, as she is a shooter-type player, she quickly analyzed the appearance of this giant monster.

‘It is crawling out from deep underground.’

Apparently, he was summoned from an underground facility and smashed the basement floor of the surrounding building.

That is why buildings that could not withstand the load had no choice but to collapse like sandcastles.

She then took a closer look at this monster through the skill ‘Hunter’s Eye’.

And finally, I was able to confirm its identity to some extent.

“Uh… are you a snake?”

At the end of a series of curved lines that stretched as smooth as tentacles, red eyes appeared.

hey hey——!

And the mouths with prominent fangs open wide and bite the outer wall of the building, crushing it.

Quadd——!

There was not one head with the same super-sized grinder.

In the pit in the ground, a total of nine strands stand up and flutter behind the white dust.

‘That’s… … Hydra!’

Hydra As a top-notch beast, it was difficult to face even with a world-class ranker.

Even Kang Seo-yoon, who ranks fourth in this country, had only heard of it, but it was the first time he had actually seen it.

‘Damn it, when it’s fully summoned and starts dreaming of poison, the problem gets bigger.’

According to mythology, the venom of the Hydra was famous for making even the gods commit suicide.

If not stopped now, it would soon spread terrible poison throughout the city.

‘My attack… … Will it work?’

Seo-yoon Kang had such a question, but lowered her posture and pulled the protest.

Wow—and—glow——!

The moment her arrow hit the 4th head of the gnome, a powerful explosion occurred.

However, the guy didn’t budge.

Tsutsutsutsu——

He just closes his eyes for a moment, then opens them again, and starts rolling his red eyes back and forth.

Seoyoon Kang quickly hid behind a truck.

shudder—

Then, by operating a switch on the arrowhead, the nib was replaced with 100% pure Orihalcon.

If you aim at the eyes with this, it would be able to inflict effective penetrating damage.

– Come on, everyone, calm down! That’s a giant boss monster, right? I know because I inherited something like that a while ago, but I can’t deal with that kind of thing alone, so let’s not be arrogant! Yes?

At that moment, a voice heard in my ear— Oh Kyung-pyo.

He was right.

It seemed like it had been a long time since I had faced an opponent to the extent that I couldn’t dare to do it.

– So, once everyone gets together and systematically, it’s what we do best, right?

“Huh… but I don’t have time. The summons will be completed soon.”

– Representative Kang, don’t forget that the person to summon that is here.

“That’s right. As expected, the boss monster… If you’re a player, you’ll be a Summoner who is above Ki Baek-jun.”

If the summoner was a black orc, it would be at least a boss monster-class shaman.

And there would be some formidable warriors to escort him.

“So, is that bastard underground?”

This voice was Taesan Han. He was standing behind Kang Seo-yoon’s back.

Then, wiping off the dust on his clothes, he walked towards the Hydra without hesitation.

“Hey! Don’t be arrogant, let’s think about hitting it all together!”

However, Taesan Han looked up and looked somewhere while listening to the words.

“Ttt— Lee Hyun-wook again, that child is here… … .”

“Huh? Lee Hyun-wook came here, so what happened to Ganghwa Island?”

– Well, I heard that Hyun-wook Lee is now at the forefront of the Ganghwa Island raid, where is he?

It was Oh Kyung-pyo who asked that. He was listening to the battle status of Ganghwa Island in real time.

“Then what is that?”

Taesan Han raised his index finger and pointed to the sky.

rumble——

Suddenly, thick dark clouds filled the Seoul sky, and lightning flashed inside.

Kang Seo-yoon also nodded.

“It’s like the lightning skill Lee Hyun-wook used, but… … .”

She also witnessed Lee Hyun-wook writing something like that during the Phaeton Raid on Jeju Island.

Why———

At that moment, a siren sounded overhead.

“Uh… it sounds like something from Laputa?”

– It seems like this is something we should avoid, so let’s back out quickly!

They intuitively distanced themselves from the Hydra.

At that moment, the world turned white.

I-I-I-I-I-Jeong–!

Hundreds of lightning bolts fell on the Hydra, which was squeezing out of the pit.

Kwa-and-and-and-and–!

At first glance, the overwhelming amount of electric currents, like a stream of water, rather than a falling light… … The rubble of the collapsed building bounced back and forth and pounded the buildings around the area.

That wasn’t the end.

Hold on——!

The lightning struck like that was not discharged, but rose again and turned into a giant electric sphere.

In that state, the entire body of the Hydra is wrapped around it, tangled up loudly, and fried whole.

Just like putting it in a giant microwave oven, the hydra’s body cooks quickly.

“Well… … Could it be that little boy Lee Hyun-wook was carrying?”

Tae-san Han chuckled and looked up at Laputa, biting his tongue.

Park Jun-mo and he, along with Lee Hyun-wook, were also attracting public attention.

However, he could not show the overwhelming power like Lee Hyun-wook.

“When did he get so big again?”

However… … .

chee hee . . . . . .

“Damn it…….”

Despite being hit by such a massive electric current, the Hydra was very well.

Suddenly, the monster’s huge body was covered with a certain black curtain.

“… … At that moment, someone applied a fair amount of defensive magic.”

And after that, a few Black Orcs appeared.

Pushy——

At the same time, Hydra’s nine heads and 18 red eyes appeared in the smoke.

***

A whopping 105,000 ‘magical metal items’ were buried throughout Ganghwa Island.

Other than that, if you count what was buried on other islands, it was indeed an astronomical amount.

‘Securing such weapons in a short period of time is possible because the government has stepped in.’

At Lee Hyun-wook’s request, the military arsenal has been fully operational day and night over the past few days.

‘… Now that the people’s blood has been replaced with my firepower, I have an obligation to use it properly.’

On the other hand, most of the 105,000 were occupied by a new weapon called ‘Fire Trap’.

[Item information]

– Name: Fire Trap (Advanced)

– Effect: Attention! When a large impact is applied to the center, it causes a ‘flame explosion’.

The operation method of this item was set to ‘Peony Explosion’, not ‘Mana Infusion’. This was dangerous to handle, but had the obvious advantage of being able to induce a ‘chain explosion’ by investing a small amount of mana.

In other words, if the burial was done well, Lee Hyun-wook could explode all 105,000 by himself.

And just now, it has become a reality.

It’s perfect too… … .

Ku-gu-gu-gu……

The view of Ganghwado from the sky was terrifying. A simmering crab, covered with pale gray smoke on all sides, is a sight as if looking down at a burnt charcoal block.

And the coastline and some flat terrain where the Black Orc forces were concentrated were completely turned upside down as if they had been plowed with a giant plow. From there, desperate screams are constantly coming up.

In addition, system messages announcing the achievement of achievement were coming up in a row in front of Hyun-wook Lee.

– Defeat Black Orc Warriors to earn achievement points. (+4)

– Defeat Black Orc Warriors to earn achievement points. (+7)

– Defeat Black Orc Elite Warriors to earn achievement points. (+11)

.

.

.

‘This trap alone killed 2,105 animals at once.’

That was only for the number that definitely stopped breathing.

‘If you include the number of people who were swept away by the explosion, it would be several times more.’

In other words, it succeeded in feeding the invaders properly in one shot. No matter how intrepid the Black Ork was, there was no way he could keep himself sane by the explosions gushing from beneath his feet.

But that alone could not be said to have brought victory.

There was a need for a definitive end to this war.

‘Yes, right now is important.’

– Chik— The Ganghwa Island amphibious operation begins.

woo woo woo–

Soon, the air convoys began to advance, with the steel fleet at the forefront.

In addition, hundreds of rubber boats waiting at sea started all at once.

The empty Ganghwa Strait was instantly covered with all sorts of things.

It was a quick offensive like a herd of hyenas who witnessed a buffalo fall ill.

All of them move quickly and shoot all kinds of magic towards the Black Dome.

Dozens of magics focused on a single point……

Fur—burr—burr—burr—bong——!

Soon, one side of the black dome is crushed and rainwater pours out like a broken window.

– Point 3-1, there is a crack! Infiltrate there!

The black smoke that covered Ganghwado was scattered, but the gray smoke from the explosion was thick. Rather, the ROK AMT amphibious force advanced boldly using the phenomenon as a ‘smoke bomb’.

bang–!

Fire magic from somewhere aimed at the rubber boat, but luckily it all missed. It was impossible to hit a small rubber boat crossing this long strait as long as the view was blocked.

– Chic— Identify and destroy anti-aircraft guns from snipers, shorelines and mountains!

Snipers stick out their bodies and raise their bows and crossbows from the magical aircraft capable of air-fighting and stable ‘hovering’. And destroy the ‘anti-aircraft weapon’ that survived Lee Hyun-wook’s ‘blasting’ by intensive fire.

– Seal Team 1, successful landing, beware of all private houses!

– 4 Seal Teams successfully landed, occupying the right mound!

Through the incoming correspondence, it was clear that the amphibious operation was proceeding successfully.

– At 11 o’clock, 9 Black Orcs appear, and shoot down!

Sh-sh-sh-sh—!

The Black Orcs, who have already been torn apart by explosions, are unable to resist.

“—Priest 2nd Platoon, deploy a magic shield on the access road for the subsequent amphibious forces!”

“Prepare for enemy attack by forming a shield wall downhill at 3 o’clock!”

The island takeover operation was systematically carried out according to the “scenario” practiced several times a few days ago.

Thus, in just five minutes, hundreds of AMT troops landed across the island and established themselves.

Shortly thereafter, blue beams of light—teleports began to fall one after another on the shoreline.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah–

Walking out of it were the ‘support players’ gathered at Gimpo International Airport.

Among them, the teams capable of long-distance teleportation seemed to arrive boldly first.

“Who— this is the island that the Black Orcs have taken over, isn’t it?”

“Wow, crazy! You really blew up an island by yourself, didn’t you?”

They look around, pull out their weapons and position themselves by team.

However, unlike the previous AMT amphibious force, it was somewhat gritty, and there was plenty of room.

“Come on, come on, get ready for the raid quickly! You need to eat one more, right?”

“Don’t forget that this is a big event, this is a truly unique opportunity!”

I started hunting Black Orcs who were still breathing while shouting such greedy lines… … The offensive was truly formidable. Maybe it’s because of greed that makes me stronger… … .

“Oh! These bastards, how can you stand up to an orc?”

“Hey, don’t be vigilant. I heard that elite black orcs are pretty strong though?”

“Uh-huh— Wouldn’t it be an orc after all? Die, you bastard—!”

Whoops—!

Hundreds of Black Orcs in relatively good condition flocked to them, but they were sorted out in an instant.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook was just looking down at the scene from the air.

“Wow… Look at that bastard, Steelein, are you just looking around like you’re some kind of general?”

“Hey, isn’t it that he’s already built up his ‘feats’ as much as he wants? It’s a bit unlucky…”

“Hey, I just killed a few with that one shot, and I’ll just have fun with it now.”

However, in fact, Lee Hyun-wook was scanning the center of Ganghwa Island through Hugin.

If this level of air raids were carried out, the boss monsters would prepare for ‘Phase 3’.

Failure to capture that moment quickly could allow for an unexpected counterattack.

However… … .

‘It’s strange… … Didn’t Stonox come directly?’

The center of Ganghwa Island was still covered with thick black smoke, but there was no trace of Stoneox.

No, I couldn’t even see the other boss monsters.

‘Uh, that one?’

Then, suspicious traces were found in his sight.

Inside the black smoke, many black orc corpses were scattered.

However, there were no signs of any explosion on the ground there.

Perhaps it was as if he had defended Hyun-wook Lee’s ‘blasting’ by using a certain skill for a moment.

And yet so many Black Orcs are dead in one place… … .

‘That’s… … It was used as a sacrifice.’

The ‘magic’ used by the Black Orcs is the same as ‘black magic’.

However, the cost of magic was great. And most of the price was ‘human sacrifice’, and Stonox, the orc king, borrowed the power of the Old Gods by using his overflowing troops as consumables.

Now, in the heart of Ganghwa Island, there are clear traces of offering hundreds of sacrifices.

However, as Hyunwook Lee observed, no wide-area skills or summoning skills were captured.

That’s… … .

‘…a large-scale space movement magic.’

Lee Hyun-wook hurriedly turned on the mana messenger and called Yeo Sang-min.

“Yeo Sang-min, check what’s going on with Laputa right now.”

Yeo Sang-min’s alter ego now exists in both Fridwen and Laputa.

So I was immediately aware of the situation on both sides.

– Oh, I just delivered to Seoul Station… … It seems that an unidentified giant monster has been summoned.

He seemed to know what was going on now.

The moment the explosion occurred here, they seemed to have changed their strategy in an instant.

Perhaps, when a considerable number of troops were retired, they would have decided that a long-term sit-down was meaningless.

He is trying to achieve his intended purpose by putting all of his remaining power to the core target.

Hyunwook Lee took out some items from the subspace of one AD-2.

That was the ‘Iron Golem’s Core’ I got from CAR.

Five in total, Lee Hyun-wook scattered them all over Ganghwa Island.

And let’s give it mana—

blah blah–

The pieces of metal scattered all over the place begin to clump around the iron golem’s core.

It fused so quickly, and in an instant, four iron golems were born.

– You have secured the ‘master authority’ of the Iron Golem. (4/43)

“Uh… what’s that all of a sudden?”

The players around him looked bewildered.

However, one particularly big thing was that the ‘fusion’ was in progress.

[Item information]

– Name: Ancient Iron Golem’s Core (Hero)

– Effect: When mana is injected, it becomes a ‘golem’ by attracting surrounding metals. (Depending on the amount of mana injected and the amount of metal around it, the size of the generated golem can be enlarged up to 2x.)

‘Was this guy’s original size 12m or 1,000t? But can you go up to twice that?’

In other words, it meant that a huge steel golem of up to 24m and 2,000t would be born.

And now, there was indeed a huge amount of metal lying around.

This was because 105,000 ‘fire traps’ were oxidized all over the island.

It was an enormous amount of metal that was left over to create a monster of that size.

And as if sprinkled with salt, Lee Hyun-wook tossed a few items over it.

It was made of 100% pure adamant iron stakes, and the amount was about 30 kg. Of course, it’s a small amount compared to his size. How many fingers can you achieve at most?

‘But to form a single weapon, it is an effective amount.’

Hyunwook Lee made a 30kg Adamant into a single spear nib by metal molding.

Then other metals were pulled in to form a 20-meter spear—the two were glued together.

blah blah–

At that moment, the half-finished ‘Ancient Iron Golem’ grabbed the spear.

thud–!

The 24m tall metal giant, when it took one step, an earthquake occurred as if the entire Ganghwa Island was shaken.

And with each step, the metal fragments buried around them fly in and expand their body.

It was such a spectacle that the whole fierce battle was put to a halt.

“Crazy, how hard is it to get that iron golem core intact, but what else is that big thing?”

“No matter how you look at it, Hyunwook Lee is controlling it… uh, how is that possible?”

But what happened next was even more incomprehensible.

“……Huh?”

Some hooks came out from Friedwen’s lamp door, and the golems started to tie them together.

“Isn’t it supposed to be air transported or something like that?”

“Didn’t that gigantic weapon box just teleport with hooks like that?”

“Hey, that must have the ability to open portals on its own…”

No one could have predicted what Hyunwook Lee was going to do.

His body, floating in the air, moved slowly and entered Friedwen’s lamp door.

“Chief Woo, I will go to Laputa. Please tidy up.”

And at that moment, Friedwen and the Iron Golem disappeared at the same time.

***

bang–!

Laputa roared as a 2,042 ton metal giant landed in the airship port of the Order Tower.

「(X_X) Whoa! A non-fair port… … It’s partially broken, Master… … .”

Talos’s voice sounded like he was startled.

And the voices of the Gray Dwarves were heard from afar.

「(+_+) Oh! What is that beautiful giant?”

“Yeo Sang-min, go to a spot overlooking Seoul Station.”

Yeo Sang-min controlled Friedwen and went out of Laputa’s dome.

I looked down at the scene below, near Seoul Station.

“… … Well, how many buildings do you think are vacant?”

And in the midst of the mess, a nine-headed monster snake, the Hydra, looked down.

“Did you say that when Hercules caught the Hydra, he pressed his head with a heavy stone?”

Lee Hyun-wook muttered like that and manipulated the Ancient Iron Golem.

Boom—— Boom——

It slowly moved its heavy body and stood near Laputa’s railing.

“I have to let you know that rain isn’t the only thing I can drop.”

At that moment, a metal giant weighing 2,042 tons threw himself into the air, holding a 20-meter-tall Adamant spear.

A huge shadow fell on Seoul Station.
