Steel eating player chapter 129

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

Author’s Note) The weight of the Ancient Iron Golem has been changed from 2,024t to 802t. When I re-examined the similarly sized iron equipment, I felt that it was too heavy no matter how large it was.

Hyun-wook Lee was standing on the railing of Laputa and looking at the horizon in the distance.

“… … Boss, hey, how did this happen?”

“Uh, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be on Ganghwa Island?”

Lee Jeong-jun, Kim Se-hee, and Park Jun-mo ran behind him and asked, but Lee Hyun-wook did not answer.

“……”

Suddenly, “Hugin” was floating in the sky between Laputa and the skyscraper and spinning around.

His gaze was now assimilated into Hugin, and he was looking down at the city center of Seoul under Laputa.

Go-oh-oh-oh–!

An 802-ton giant is crashing down like a huge mass of meteorites in a strange storm.

Even Lee Hyun-wook could not move the whole heavy metal mass at this time.

However, you can adjust the direction by moving the edge a little while floating in the air.

‘About 1.7 km to the ground… … It slams right on the monster’s head.’

And during that brief moment, I figured out what the giant boss monster I had to deal with.

– Hydra’s first head (LV. 98)

– Hydra’s second head (LV. 109)

– Hydra’s third head (LV. 110)

– Hydra’s fourth head ★ (LV. 113)

.

.

.

There are 9 in total, each head is level 98-113. Among them, the fourth head seemed to be the ‘center’.

The level isn’t as high as I thought it would be, but if there were 9 of them, the story would be different.

‘And the hydra’s head continues to regenerate.’

Hydra was one of the 12 trials of Hercules in Greek mythology.

According to the myth, that beast also had tremendous regenerative ability and powerful poison.

So, if you don’t finish it in one hit, the battle will inevitably become more difficult.

‘It must be quickly removed from all the hair and then set on fire to make it impossible to regenerate.’

At that moment, he also felt the shadows cast from above, so he raised a few heads.

hey hey——!

A vigilant roar, three heads wide open and spraying a dark green liquid.

Pushy——!

The infamous poison spurted out in a fan shape, melting the exterior walls of both buildings like whipped cream. Soon, the ancient iron golem entered the sphere of influence, and the surface was oxidized and boiled.

But that’s all, the giant body continues to fall casually and gets closer to the ground.

‘Knowing this, I applied a thin layer of Orihalcon and Adamant on the surface during fusion.’

It was able to withstand poison and acid thanks to the two metals, which had stronger resistance to magic than ordinary metals.

‘So, save.’

In the end, the body of the ancient iron golem is slammed right over the hydra’s head.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah—!

… … smashed it down Other than that, there was no suitable expression.

At the same time, with the 20-meter-long Adamant spear held in his right hand, he slammed a head down.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A fallout occurs, and the buildings in the area that were otherwise twisted are shaken up and down.

After this battle, it seemed that the downtown area of ​​Jung-gu would have to be extensively reorganized.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Like downtown Dubai in the face of a sandstorm, dozens of floors of skyscrapers were engulfed in dust.

Between them, a 21-meter-tall metal giant and a beast twice as long as it get entangled and fight.

‘Okay, two heads are subdued.’

One was pierced with an adamant spear, and the other was crushed by stomping on it with its weight on it.

But with a little bit of vigilance, you’ll soon be dealing with a newly regenerated head.

“You shouldn’t give them time to recover.”

Hyunwook Lee raised his head.

Three Mowglays were summoned in advance and lined up side by side.

Then, at Lee Hyun-wook’s beckoning, they fell and suffered gravitational acceleration.

Sh-y-y-yy–!

Puck— Puck— As if stuffed, two heads slammed into the ground with moglay.

But the drop attack was just a kind of ‘loading’. Hyunwook Lee pulled the trigger.

‘Flare Whip—’

At that moment, a total of 12 red whips bloomed, 6 each, and began to crush the area. The Ancient Iron Golem was also included within that range, so its body was also sharded away.

Zeng—! Zeng—!

However, as long as the ‘core’ is not destroyed, the golem will continue to reassemble by pulling the surrounding metal.

The Hydra was also regenerating quickly, but it was in a state of disrepair and his movements were noticeably slow.

Lee Hyun-wook stretched his left hand toward the ground.

And I memorized two spells.

“fusion—transformation—”

Then, the Ancient Iron Golem’s body glowed red and melted, and the chest part was transformed into dozens of chains and began to tie the Hydra’s nine heads together.

shudder! shudder! shudder! shudder!

The moment the chains interlock with each other, they become ‘fused’ again and become tightly entangled as if they were welded.

It was like a straitjacket of 802 tons of steel.

hey hey——!

The hydra twisted her body like a seizure, but it would not have been easy to release it.

“Park Jun-mo, can you give me that belt again?”

“Yeah? Belt… Ah, that’s right! Yes!”

Lee Hyun-wook lent two items to Park Jun-mo before going to Ganghwa-do.

It was ‘Mjölnir’ and ‘Belt of the Northern Merchant’ obtained from the auction house in Chennai.

“But this suddenly became a potential release…”

Hyunwook Lee nodded as if he already knew.

“Ah, did you know that too?”

The identity of this ‘Northern Merchant’s Belt’ was Thor’s belt, ‘Meggingillord’.

However, the potential had not been released yet, so it was not functioning properly.

‘As far as I know, a person with a certain amount of current immunity must wear it to unlock its potential.

And Park Jun-mo’s current resistance is virtually immune… … No, rather, the current becomes a buff.

therefore-

[Item information]

– Name: Meggingillord (Legend)

-effect

1) Belt of Strength: Body strength and strength are doubled. (+100%)

2) Traces of Thunder God: Current immunity is greatly increased. (+50%)

The moment you put it on, your whole body heats up and you start to feel energized.

Then, the moment you are handed over to Mjölnir—

– The effect is activated!

* All melee attacks are given a powerful ‘current’ attribute.

Lee Hyun-wook threw himself out of the railing. But his body did not fall. As if there was an invisible bridge, he staggered forward and stopped precisely in the vertical line of the Hydra.

“Soon a direct attack on Laputa will begin.”

At those words, tension spread across the faces of the three people waiting in Laputa.

“By the way… are those guests telling me to keep waiting?”

Lee Jung-jun, who recently played the role of the captain of the Laputa security guard, asked.

“Yes, tell me to wait until I signal.”

Lee Hyun-wook left those words and fell vertically, as if sinking into the water.

Whoa whoa–

On the contrary, there was something rising vertically from the ground.

It was a sack of moglay.

At the intersection of the two straight lines, Hyunwook Lee caught Mowglay’s hilt.

Due to the nature of Seoul’s savior, all stats are doubled. In other words, the strength is doubled.

And the moment you apply this in the doubled state, it doubles again.

blah blah–

Rigidization was added to this, and Lee Hyun-wook’s explosive power began to flow.

fall vertically in that state. And put all the metal control at the end of the 2 ton giant sword.

Hung——

In sight, the rapidly growing building and the two monsters, Hyun-wook Lee, were suddenly inside the building.

He swung Mowglay with all his might as he passed the chained Hydra.

Kah— ah——!

Even the chain that wrapped around the nape of her neck was cut off.

The 6th and 7th heads were cut off at the same time in that blow.

iron puck—

He then beckons, and the two moglays that had been smashed on the floor float into the air. And it starts to turn red. Helios heat wire, the giant sword was heated to thousands of degrees.

Lee Hyun-wook moved it and brought it to the hydra’s neck and cut surface.

Chewy——!

‘If it burns like an iron, regeneration stops.’

In Greek mythology, this is how Hercules subdue the Hydra.

At that moment, I heard someone scream behind my back.

“Lee Hyun-wook, go on! We’ll cover you!”

Perhaps it was Kang Seo-yoon. She hits a certain black sphere flying at Lee Hyun-wook with an arrow and deflects it.

“At 6 o’clock, three shamans are preparing something!”

“Okay, step back and take a seat! I’m stopping you!”

Then, the voices of the Anyang Duo are heard.

Hyunwook Lee believed in them and concentrated on finishing the Hydra.

Chewy——!

‘I ended up with 4 heads with this.’

While cooking Hydra like that, Lee Hyun-wook quickly scanned the surrounding area through Hugin.

A huge pit at the intersection of Seoul Station… … I saw several people standing inside.

‘… … There is no Stonox.’

Didn’t the king of the Black Orc Kingdom unexpectedly come to this land?

instead… … .

– Black Orc Warlord Sumact (LV. 142)

‘In this phase, that child is a real boss monster.’

One of the three great Black Orcs, the warrior leader Sumact… … A whopping level 142 boss monster.

In other words, this Summoned Beast called Hydra is just a kind of ‘intermediate boss’ concept.

He walks out of the pit with a huge ax on his back, leading dozens of the SS.

But after that, another boss monster caught my eye.

– Black Orc Shaman Diable-Puppet (LV. 139)

He was also one of the three great Black Orcs, the Devil.

‘That guy, obviously, I killed him.’

Didn’t Hyun-wook Lee drop and shoot down moglay from a low altitude at the Shanghai troop gathering area? Even if it was a boss monster, it was damage that a shaman with a weak defense could not withstand.

‘Wait a minute, you puppet… … Oh, is Stonox controlling it?’

It was as if Stonox had come in possession of a corpse, perhaps through something like necromancy.

Such bizarre methods were often presented by shamans associated with the Old Gods.

Meanwhile, he seemed to be preparing a spell.

Go-oh-oh-oh……

Black orcs lying everywhere—probably black energy gushing from the bodies of what appeared to be sacrifices, which were sucked into black crystal balls held in the puppet’s hands.

‘That crystal ball holds pocket space.’

Pocket Space is similar to subspace in a way, but it was a much higher-dimensional space in that it constitutes a material universe where life can stay, and it is difficult to create that much.

In other words, the maintenance cost is very expensive… … Hundreds of lives would have been sacrificed to form it.

‘And they hid the army there, and moved to this place.’

Soon, the magic that he had prepared was completed.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah–!

Black light bursts from the black crystal ball and a gust of wind blows.

The compressed space contained in it begins to flow out.

That means… … It could be interpreted that the army contained in it appeared.

After cutting off the last hydra’s head, Hyunwook Lee took refuge behind the ancient iron golem.

“—Damn it, what is it all of a sudden! Everyone come after me!”

Lee Hye-min, a tank in Anyang Duo, dropped her shield on the floor.

Then, a translucent shield the size of a house was formed and blocked the storm.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah–!

Even in this difficult battle, the trees that have luckily survived are plucked out and fly high into the sky.

“……”

After a while, the storm stopped, and dark shadows fell over his head.

Everyone raised their heads and looked directly at the thing that had obscured the sun.

Hair—Fur—Fur—Fur——

Thirty-six crude airships were lined up in a messy sky over Seoul.

‘The Ragged Fleet… … .’

Those power organs are not mana, but the core of the ‘Devil Beast’ that devours life force and generates power, and the things that are supposed to be its roots protrude and wriggle wildly.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook’s quest target, ‘Ed-on-Colossus Research Institute’, was also mixed. Among the ragged fleets, it caught my eye right away that it was extraordinarily huge and had a refined light.

Hair—Fur—Fur—Fur——

Soon the ragged fleet began to increase its altitude. The final destination of the route was Bona Mana Laputa.

The lids near the ceiling of the first few ships opened, and the Black Orcs stick out their heads and shoot fireballs.

Thump- Thump- Thump- Thump-

In response, Laputa also started responding.

Whoa—-!

A large cannon made by the Gray Dwarves spewed fire, and one of the ragged ships in the lead was destroyed.

And, of course, there were a considerable number of guards in Laputa as well.

‘And there’s Talos in Bronze Sentinel… … .’

Perhaps it was not easily occupied.

But that didn’t mean I didn’t want to just watch them push and go.

Lee Hyun-wook took an item out of his pocket.

It was a circular blade, Chakram, Sudarsana.

He threw that legendary-grade weapon towards the sky with all his might.

Whoops——!

Sudarsana flying at high speed and leaving a curved red afterimage,

Soon, the bottom surface of a ragged ship is drawn vertically as if it is rolling by a cart.

Kaga-ga–

Flames rise from the torn part and fall slowly.

pop–!

‘Again, the ragged fleet has virtually no defense.’

Shortly thereafter, the moment Sudarsana reached the heart of the Ragged Fleet—

‘Chakra Explosion—!’

Hyunwook Lee started Sudarsana’s skill.

At that moment, Sudarsana stood tall in one place.

Then it starts spinning like a windmill.

Wing-wing-wing-wing–!

An intense red light spreads out like watercolor paints along a rough rotational trajectory.

As the concentration grew, I felt as if another sun had risen in the sky.

The moment when the speed of rotation increases uncontrollably, and you feel anxious about being thrown away—

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga–!

The red light that spread out like that exploded out in all directions.

I didn’t see the next scene.

No, I couldn’t see it.

“Ugh—”

The light was so intense that everyone had to turn their heads.

Kugugugu… … .

When the view came back, 23 out of the 36 tattered fleets were half destroyed and pouring down.

Whoa–!

At that shocking scene, the orc army that appeared in the pit at the intersection of Seoul Station began to howl.

Whoa–!

Sure enough, it was already the third time that Lee Hyun-wook had suffered close to annihilation.

Is it you again this time? A shout that seems to contain such resentment covered Seoul Station in a sad way.

Then, another shout comes from behind.

“—Squad, prepare for battle!”

The troops of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Horse Brigade, which had been avoiding the battle of the monsters, began to move.

– Hyunwook Lee, I want to help you too, is that ok?

This voice was Colonel Kim Kang-seok. He was also here.

However, Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.

“Still, please wait a little longer.”

– … … Do you have anything else left to show?

“Actually… this is just the beginning.”

He said so and lifted his body into the air.

As if riding in a transparent elevator, his body gently floats vertically.

When it reached an altitude that was close to eye level with a skyscraper of several tens of floors,

He raised his hands, slowly.

Uh–

At that moment, the heavy fragments of the rags that were pouring down stopped one by one.

Everyone was mesmerized by the scenery as if caught in an invisible net and hung from the sky.

Shortly thereafter, the metal fragments ‘transformed into metal’ and became a huge, broad ‘plate’.

blah blah–

“… … Why did I have to leave Laputa here instead of moving it?”

Laputa, that would surely be attacked with a clear target.

As a result, Jung-gu, Seoul, this important downtown area, will inevitably suffer damage.

Lee Hyun-wook could not have known that.

However, the reason for choosing this place as a battlefield was very simple.

“Here, Seoul gives me strength.”

The achievement of being the savior of Seoul, if Seoul is a war, Lee Hyun-wook’s power is exactly doubled.

therefore……

– Current steerable metal weight: 11,246 kg

Now, I could control 11 tons of metal at a time.

“And in this huge city… there’s an insane amount of metal…”

He raised his hands higher.

Then, the wreckage of the horribly collapsed building and the H-beam-like steel frames in it stand up one by one.

In addition, streetlights, traffic lights, and manhole covers that follow along the street will fly.

And again, the metal was transformed into a wide ‘plate’-like shape.

The metal that fell from the air, the metal that rose from the ground, and the things that were made move in unison. Like a train, he creates something by following Hyun-wook Lee’s hand gestures.

Tong-Tung-Tung-Tong–!

At that moment, huge steel plates fall and crash into the asphalt of Sejong-ro.

that… … It was a long wall.

So Sejong-ro was blocked by an iron wall that was 7 to 8 meters high.

Tong-Tung-Tung-Tong–!

Then, Toegye-ro and Tongil-ro were completely blocked at the same time.

Tong-Tung-Tung-Tung–!

Finally, to the Han River… … The entire intersection was surrounded by a steel barrier.

In other words, the Black Orc Corps that appeared from Pocket Space were completely locked in all directions.

Lee Hyun-wook looked down at them and pulled out something.

It was Mjölnir.

However, this time, he didn’t mean to pour out lightning.

[Item information]

– Name: Molnir (Legendary)

– effect

1) Steel Thunderbolt: When thrown, the destructive power is greatly increased.

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

3) Thunder God’s Rage: Releases a powerful electric current.

4) Chlorinated Storm: Releases overwhelming heat.

Not long ago, I succeeded in applying the Legendary Orb, ‘Fragment of the Sun’ to Mjolnir.

Thus, the fourth skill, Chlorinated Storm, was created.

This time I thought I’d try it.

Hyeonwook Lee said slowly, lifting Mjölnir.

“…Welcome to Seoul.”
