Steel eating player chapter 133

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

It is said that after the war event was over, something presumed to be a transcendent object appeared on Ganghwa Island.

As Ganghwa Island was the outpost of the Black Orc Corps, the main reward appeared there.

“So, are you saying that the object… is in the form of a tree?”

Lee Hyun-wook got on the Freedwen and was communicating with team leader Lee Kyo-jun through mana messenger.

He replied in a voice that seemed to be screaming, whether he was in the helicopter.

– Yes, that’s right! According to the system message, it is named Shindansu!

“If it’s a Shindansu, then maybe he’s from the Dangun myth…”

– Probably it is, but I think we should check the details! Oh, did you get anything as a war event reward? It’s like getting Laputa’s master key during the 4th wave!

At that question, Hyun-wook Lee pulled out an item from his pocket.

[Item information]

– Name: Relics of ancient countries

– Effect: unknown

“… … I think I got that.”

– That’s right.

Lee Kyo-jun breathes a sigh of relief.

It was also known as Eight Juryeong, a type of bronze bell called Uigi (儀器).

This object seemed to be one of the heavenly women in the Dangun mythology.

So, does the ancient country mean Gojoseon here?

‘Of course, it would not have been Gojoseon in the historical sense.’

In this game, monsters and items with motifs from myths, legends, and history appear.

However, it is literally just a motif, and its actual form is bound to be completely different.

– I would like you to come right away! After the battle, a system message about the creation of a new level water appeared before everyone’s eyes… … They’re blocking it, but they’re gathering around! If it’s a beast life, a transcendent object, don’t you know what it’s going to do?

The ‘support players’ who came from home and abroad were allies who fought the war together, but they were also targets to be wary of. Mercenaries who participated in the war for compensation in the first place can become thieves at any time… … .

‘And in fact, there will be a lot of thieves mixed in with them… … .’

– And I was wary of ‘Mask’, but because the battlefield was so complicated, the surveillance network was broken.

“Mask” here meant terrorists who hid their identities and infiltrated, that is, villains.

After finishing the Mana Messenger communication, Lee Hyun-wook prepared to go to Ganghwa Island.

“Isn’t it true that an object with divine power was born in this country as well?”

It was the Saint Emilia Muller, who was sitting next to me who said that.

When Lee Hyun-wook turned her head, she was looking at the western sky.

“Now that I think about it… I can definitely feel it.”

Since she is the highest level player in the divine series, she was able to sense the powerful divine power from a distance.

“Is it true? It’s said to be in the form of a tree, but is it probably about the size of a world tree?”

Lee Hyun-wook asked with anticipation, but she shook her head without thinking.

“Well, maybe it’s because I’m still young, but my grades are a bit low.”

After all, the ‘world tree’ born in the Republic of Chad is ‘Yggdrasil’, the cosmic tree in Norse mythology.

Usually, the rank of items and objects was determined according to the influence of the story that was the motif, and in that respect, the rank of the new level had to be set lower than that of Yggdrasil.

‘Anyway, just having something similar to a world tree would be a huge advantage.’

From in Seoul, in Gangwon-do to in Ganghwa-do… … .

Every part of this land was remodeled with special power, and it was all Lee Hyun-wook’s authority.

In addition, it seemed that it would be easier to manufacture weapons with divine power in the future.

“Can I go and take a closer look? You’ll notice it better if you look closely.”

Lee Hyun-wook thought about it and shook his head.

“I think it’s better not to do that. You’re in Laputa for now.”

“Huh? Why? Where is there anyone as savvy in this field as me…”

“No, it’s not… They must be gathering there.”

Lee Hyun-wook said in small words, who would listen, but he refrained from using the word villain.

“You don’t have to worry about me. Now I have all the methods.”

“But, in case you don’t know, please make the best choice.”

When Lee Hyun-wook spoke harshly, she reluctantly nodded her head.

“Well, who am I to be alive… Yes, I’ll listen carefully.”

Not long ago, I found out that the Necromancer had already started working.

Beyond that, the villain’s side was going to try to get rid of the saint somehow.

When the Legion of Death moves in the future, she will be the biggest stumbling block… … .

So Emilia Muller decided to wait in Laputa.

Meanwhile, all those who fought together at this site expressed their desire to go to Ganghwa Island together.

“Ganghwado, what appeared there?”

“Then can we go too?”

“Uh, then I’ll go too! I can’t get past this.”

They also felt that there might be some kind of reward, intuition and instinct as a player.

After all, it was such a difficult raid, but it would not have been possible to fall into a position where the reward was given.

‘And taking them along will help in many ways.’

If this level of power was in one place in the first place, even the villain wouldn’t be able to act recklessly.

So, we headed to Ganghwado Island again.

During that time, Lee Hyun-wook checked one item in detail.

[Item information]

– Name: Unidentified Black Fragment (Special)

– Effect: unknown

It seemed that this amount of information was originally published, but in Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes, there was one more line below it.

* Hidden Information: You can open the ‘Black Gate’ by collecting dimensional fragments.

This was to see hidden information through the obtained after swallowing Horus’s eye.

‘It’s a dimensional fragment… … .’

Anyway, this meant that you couldn’t open that black gate by yourself.

‘If this is the case, how many more times will I have to defeat the Old Gods?’

And if you go inside, will you know the truth of this game? … .

Whatever it is, someday in it… … Further, the truth would be witnessed.

***

Ganghwa Island, the largest island off the west coast of Seoul, was still burning.

Some of the flames had not yet died due to Lee Hyun-wook’s ‘blasting operation’, but since fierce battles took place for several hours after that, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire island became a lump of charcoal.

However, the players seemed to have no intention of escaping the island full of smoke.

Rather, it was running even deeper, as if competing towards somewhere inside the island.

“Oh—here there!”

Their footsteps stopped in the plains of the southern part of Ganghwa Island, near Han Reservoir.

The traces of the battle were also evident around it, and abominable pits were dug in various places.

However, a strange white brilliance was overflowing in the vicinity of it.

“Wow…….”

And the moment they witnessed something beyond that brilliance, the players exclaimed in admiration.

Uh–

In a place that was originally nothing more than a paddy field, a 5m tall tree that shone brilliantly stood tall.

At first glance, it was not an ordinary tree, but a white light came up from the root and went through the trunk, and it was visible through the trunk, and it spread out to all the leaves, emitting a divine shimmer in all directions.

Whoop– Whoop–

And as I got closer, I could feel that radiant power touching my body.

– You have entered the shadow of the divine tree ‘Shindansu’.

* All recovery speed is greatly increased.

* All status ailments are quickly restored.

* All dark spells are weakened.

* A ‘mana ecosystem’ will be built in the area.

* The ‘sanctuary’ effect is applied to the area.

“Wow, this is really similar to the World Tree, isn’t it?”

“Well, is it like a miniature world tree?”

Of course, its size and power were not comparable to the world tree of the Republic of Chad. That’s because the World Tree is such a deceptive existence, this was the highest-grade object that could not be valued.

However… … .

“… … You must not go any further than this!”

“Uh! Player, don’t come any closer!”

ROK AMT forces were blocking the area around Shindansu and blocking players’ access.

Then protests poured in from all over.

“No, can’t we even take a look? Why are you overreacting like that?”

“It’s ridiculous… We didn’t fight! Shit, the reward shouldn’t be shared evenly!”

“Three members of our guild died, you treat them cold like this?”

– Alright, calm down, you already own an item and its owner is coming!

A voice echoed through the megaphone from the helicopter in the sky.

“Who’s the owner, who keeps you from accessing it? Could it be us?”

“And let’s share some! We saved this country, didn’t we?”

In the player world, ownership of an item or object is usually determined by a ‘system decision’.

Put simply, the system gave ownership of the item according to how much the contribution was.

Otherwise, it is bound to follow the simple and ignorant way of saying that the person who learns first is the owner.

“Are you sure that’s an item you really own or want to see at least once?”

In other words, until ownership was proven, hyenas that drool openly were bound to infest.

– We’re sorry, but there is a possibility of forced transfer of ownership, so contact is absolutely not allowed!

“No, I can’t steal such a large object, and it’s ridiculous…”

“Let’s just touch it and see! There may be some quests or additional rewards!”

Hundreds of people gathered near the Shindansu and violent chaos began to form, but as the excitement of the battle had not yet been washed away, it was in danger as if something serious was about to happen at any moment.

Meanwhile, “villains” were also mixed among them.

“Chief, did that also eventually fall into his hands?”

“Twitter, that’s right… … After all, it’s a sacred tree, isn’t it good?”

“That’s right. On our side, the dark series is the mainstream…”

These were members of the ‘cancer castle’ disguised as members of the guild.

They judged that Lee Hyun-wook could not defeat the Black Orc boss monsters.

However, about two hours ago, a system message announcing the success of the war event came to mind.

Although I did not see it in person, it was clear that the war event was ‘attacked’ by Lee Hyun-wook.

“Lee Hyun-wook… how did he win?”

Even though the operation had completely failed, they still did not leave.

“But if this happens… will we have no choice but to carry out our next plan?”

It was because the next operation was prepared.

Then two large men approached them.

“Pit bull brothers, long time no see?”

They were Harry Bernard and William Bernard, called the Pit Bull brothers.

As independent players in the United States, he was famous for being the best tank mercenary.

Before they were powerful players, they had a deceptive physique, both of which were over two meters tall and were wearing heavy iron armor, which gave them a sense of intimidation as they got closer.

“Wow… Was this old-fashioned old man in charge of this operation?”

At the words of his younger brother, William Bernard, Manager Zhou Wei of Amseong laughed.

“Kid, be careful with that mouth… I can catch you first before you catch a target.”

“What? Uh-huh— You’re honestly not at the level of what you can do with me, are you?”

“Don’t you remember the last time you slapped me and whined because you were stuck in an ice wall?”

“That was a few years ago, are you biting on it? As expected, old people, are you living in the glory of the past?”

The two sides shared a dark secret, but they were not always on good terms.

“Come on, let’s both say hello and lower our voices.”

It was Harry Bernard who intervened to mediate the sparks between the two.

Contrary to his nickname of Red Berserker, he seemed to be a fairly serious man.

“And, General Zhou Wei, we have reinforcements from outside the list coming from our side.”

At Harry Bernard’s words, Zhou Wei tilted his head.

“Um, didn’t you hear that? Is that what was reported to our elders?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s a weapon that our Chairman has secretly prepared.”

“This is the one… How can we come together in such a non-cooperative manner?”

It was the secret title of the chairman, the old man, and the villains of both countries.

“… … The door to the mansion’s basement will be open today.”

“Um? If it’s the basement of the mansion, are you talking about that cannibal player?”

At the question, Harry Bernard nodded and Zhou Wei licked his tongue.

“Ha— Is it okay to send a kid who hasn’t grown up to that height already?”

“If you line up according to your age and size, I’ll be the first. That little boy… he’s a monster.”

At that time, the gathered players turned their heads one by one to the eastern sky.

“By the way, he’s finally here…”

Suddenly, the white airship was approaching, facing the sun’s light sinking to the west.

“Look over there! Stilane is back!”

As a result, gossip started everywhere.

“In that case, is Stilane really the owner of Shin Dan-soo?”

“Well, in fact, he’ll be the biggest contributor to this war event…”

There was no reason for him to come back to this island, except for Shin Dan-su.

woo woo woo–

Fridwen approached the Shindansu and began to slowly lower the altitude.

When they saw the brilliant airship up close, the players were blown away.

“Wow, dogs are cool and dogs are stupid at the same time… What do you have so many?”

“I don’t have enough Laputa, Aircraft, and all kinds of Hextech equipment, so are you a god now?”

On the other hand, among the well-known players, the theory of checking the steel lane was coming out.

How steeply did Donald Harris, who became the manager of the World Tree a few years ago, grow?

So, today, the man was, in fact, evaluated as the world’s strongest or second person.

However, if you had two transcendental objects, its potential was unmeasurable.

In other words, he would soon become a tycoon capable of shaking the international community, so it was necessary to keep it in check.

“If someone suddenly pretends to be crazy and kills him by surprise, wouldn’t it be a huge hit?”

“Uh-huh… Then I’ll have to jump out with Mowglay in a hurry!”

“Hey, do you think you can lift that? It’s best to get that damn strong shotgun.”

As such, the value of Lee Hyun-wook’s items was enormous enough to harbor vain delusions.

woo woo woo–

However, a dozen airships flew behind Friedwen in a formation.

And there was even a huge ‘War Box’ floating in the visible field of the distant sky.

In fact, it was as if he had mobilized all kinds of armed forces and covered it over his head.

“uh…….”

At the large-scale appearance, the players who had gathered and protested had no choice but to back down.

“Well, what are you showing off no matter how you look at it now?”

“Wow… if you want to touch it, touch it, right?”

Their shadows sweep across the floor and fall over the players’ heads.

“…but it’s a little scary.”

It would never happen, but the thought that a rain of steel could fall over my head frightened me.

Meanwhile, Hugin was sitting on Friedwen’s player.

Lee Hyun-wook borrowed his eyes and glanced at the gathered players.

Again, seeing some familiar faces, a lot of villains were infiltrating.

‘Red Berserker… … .’

If Lee Hyun-wook hadn’t gotten Mowglay in the 4th wave, it would have been in the hands of that size.

A few years later, Lee Hyun-wook’s previous life scenario was to defeat him and then take it away.

‘And there’s his brother, William Bernard.’

In the last moment of his previous life, he was a villain who struck Lee Hyun-wook’s head with a wooden hammer.

In other words, he was the one who killed Lee Hyun-wook and made him return.

‘After I die, he must have taken my Mowglay, right?’

When Lee Hyun-wook was down, he liked that he had retrieved his brother’s belongings while waving Mowglay.

It could not be a bad relationship with that brother in many ways.

But at that moment… … .

– (!) The main quest has been updated.

‘… … What else?’

– Congratulations! You have reached the first junction of the main quest .

“Huh?”

– caution! Past Life Mischief—The First Dimensional Mover is coming. Defeat him!

If it was a bad relationship from a previous life, it was obvious that he meant William Bernard.

Lee Hyun-wook made Hu Gin fly, and then looked closely at him.

At that moment, he frowned as hard as he could and grabbed his stomach.

“Uh–!”

And then suddenly he vomits blood, isn’t it?

“Tongue, bro…”

“Huh? Why are you like this?”

“Tongue, tongue, uh…”

He vomited painfully as he rolled around that large body, and then vomited something up.

“Kur-uh–!”

puck-

It was a black marble the size of a fist.

“Hey, what is this? Why is this in my body……”

At that moment, the marble soared into the sky and caused a huge explosion.

Wow—-!

A black light bursts out of it, and the next moment it is sucked in again and merges into a single dot.

“Wait, isn’t that the gate?”

A dimensional rift, or gate, was opening at that place.

Even that’s a black gate… … In other words, it was the Black Gate.

‘what… … .’

Immediately after, someone jumped out of it.

thud–

“Hey… Am I the first to be chosen? Uh-huh…”

A large man in black iron armor… … He looked around and smiled.

After exhaling the black marble, William Bernard, who staggered and raised his body, raised his index finger.

“Brother, isn’t that… me?”

Yes. The impression was a little different, but the man who came out of Black Gate was definitely William Bernard.

To be precise, Lee Hyun-wook’s previous life… … It would be the future William Bernard.

As he looked around and muttered softly, Hyun-wook Lee could hear him through Hu-gin.

“In this way, maybe I can ‘transcend’ before the Chairman and the Necromancer?”

And on his shoulder… … A giant sword, Mowglay, was on top.
