Steel eating player chapter 140

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

Laputa’s ed-on ‘Giant Soldier Research Center’ was a structure that could be operated in non-aircraft mode in case of emergency.

So the Black Orc Legion was captured by some chance and then used as an airship.

‘Perhaps the dwarves came to Shanghai’s Black Orc Kingdom and brought this airship out.’

I heard that a certain dwarf race appeared with a gate in the land unlucky.

And by setting, Dwarf races often appeared with gnome artifacts.

Anyway, now its shape has changed to ‘add-on mode’ and it now feels more like a building rather than an airplane, but when you look up from the ground, it looks like a small circle next to one big circle.

“The Colossus Research Institute has a two-story disc-shaped structure, and the diameter of the widest side is 23m.”

Behind him, in the air, Talos’s ‘speaker’ was following him, floating in the air.

As much as he could control the entire facility, he quickly scanned the facility and reported it.

Immediately after, the moment Lee Hyun-wook took his first step into the building, bright lights from all directions grew.

Uh–

– You have entered the 3rd ed-on ‘Colossus Disease Research Center’.

“The first floor is a hangar, and the second floor is a laboratory.”

A long corridor stretched out as if entering a spaceship, and large rooms were lined up to the left and right.

The hangar on the first floor literally seemed to be a place to keep the colossus, but now it is empty.

Instead, all sorts of rubbish that looked like traces of the Black Orcs were rolling around.

It hadn’t been cleaned yet, so there was a foul stench that looked like it had entered a pig’s pen.

“I wonder if those kids didn’t ruin this facility or something?”

“Although the Black Orcs have occupied it for a long time, there are hardly any signs of damage throughout the facility.”

After all, there was no way the gnome’s state-of-the-art facilities could be destroyed so easily.

However, among the clutter, things that looked like parts of the colossus were also rolling around… … .

“Oh! It looks like the body I love.”

Yes, it looked like the same model as the ‘Bronze Sentinel’ that Talos is currently using for combat.

‘This is where battle machines like bronze sentinels are made.’

This meant that the facility could also mass-produce bronze sentinels.

The Magic Machine Corps, the opportunity to create it, had finally come.

Lee Hyun-wook went a little further inside. However… … .

“Um…why are you locked here?”

A blue lock icon was floating in front of the “0” door, which is the innermost and largest door.

“This place is very big… and even the magic shield hangs down, isn’t it?”

As I got closer, a system message appeared in front of my eyes.

[No. 0 igloo: in storage]

“Talos, I’ve seen what’s inside, can you check it?”

「I can’t check it because it’s currently secure. I think you should open it yourself!”

“Well, no one else can open it without me…”

Although the Black Orcs possessed this aircraft for a short time, it seemed that this door was never opened. Unsurprisingly, it was a part that showed how great the gnome’s technology was.

Hyun-wook Lee approached the door and put his hand on it, and the magic circuit engraved on the door lit blue.

Push——

Soon, the heavy door opened by itself with the sound of pressure being released from inside the door.

And inside the fully open door… … .

oh oh oh–

A giant swordsman of enormous size was crouched down.

In the dark, a smooth, dark-blue metallic body gleamed with light.

A rather plain design with no decorations or even small prominences… … .

However, it creates a much more old-fashioned yet strong feeling.

And without knowing it, a strange aura was blooming.

‘I, that is… … .’

Lee Hyun-wook instinctively took a step back. I wasn’t overwhelmed by its gigantic appearance.

Because the terrifying moment I encountered this giant in my previous life came to mind like a conditioned reflex.

To the contrary, Talos shouted in a voice of excitement as if he had found a treasure.

「Q(°0°)Q oh oh oh oh— I never dreamed that I would be here!”

In this way, a surprised emoticon appeared on the screen of the ‘speaker’, and then he turned around.

As this guy’s violent reaction proves, that giant is… … It was the body of Talos.

‘When I saw that the moment I saw that, I shuddered without realizing it, so the memory of that time must have been strong… … .’

In a previous life, when the members of the Guardian infiltrated Laputa, the watchman they faced… … .

Hyunwook Lee remembered the moment when the 26.5m Orihalcon giant ran wild.

‘Even that Hantae Mountain was hit by that giant and flew out of Laputa.’

Lee Hyun-wook also had no choice but to run away, avoiding the kick, as if one had turned into an ant.

And as much as Orihalcon was composed, it had incredible magic resistance,

Hundreds of shots of magic were poured like bombardments, but not a single scratch could be made.

‘When I was an enemy, I was the worst opponent, but now it’s mine… … .’

Meanwhile, Talos couldn’t control his emotions and was crying.

“Ma, Master, this is the real body I used in battle!”

Until now, Talos was in ‘non-combat mode’. Of course, the Bronze Watchman was hacked and used, but that was only a dilemma.

“Now, can you control that?”

“that is… … It has been left unattended for too long, so the synchronization process seems to be necessary.”

Soon, it was gripped over the head of the Orichalcon giant——a spark occurred. Perhaps Talos was trying something, but it took some time to see what kind of resistance there was. After about 1 minute… … .

Uh–

Soon, the Orihalcon Giant raised his head and a blue eye light lit up.

And the ceiling area was opened, and a giant 26.5m tall could stand up.

– Talos ‘Battle Mode’ (LV: 170)

‘It’s level 170… … .’

If it was at this level, it would have played a role in the upcoming dragon hunt.

“How about, is there any functional problem?”

“I must have been wandering here and there for a very long time, but I’m perfectly fine!”

“Then, can you join the battle right now?”

“However, it seems that it will take some time to get used to it to use it properly!”

“Yeah, if you can’t use that expensive body properly, you can melt it and use it for something else…”

According to Hyun-wook Lee, the giant weighed a whopping 1,415 tons, and a large part of it was made of Orihalcon. I didn’t know that maybe even a larger amount than the Orihalcon on the market.

“Ugh! W, I will work hard and do my part!”

Of course, if it’s a giant monster of that level, even if you want to melt it, you won’t be able to melt it.

***

The next day, Hyun-wook Lee visited the construction site of the ‘Army Chang’ in the mountainous area of ​​Gangwon-do.

According to previous reports, the construction of the arsenal is expected to be completed within a few weeks.

What used to be a mountainous area with trees not long ago has now turned into a huge military base.

Dozens of buildings were lined up on the cleared land, and watch towers were rising everywhere.

And trucks lined up on the paved road, pouring all kinds of materials.

And a huge ‘magic shield’ spread over the entire space.

Because it was so wide, it was to prevent the attack of monsters that occurred in the mountains.

In addition, it even blocked observation from the outside through ‘miracle magic’.

‘If you look outside this space, it will still look like a dense forest.’

Hyun-wook Lee was on the top of a nearby mountain and was looking down at the construction site.

“…If today’s work is completed, you can think of it as about 78% complete.”

The woman reporting to Lee Hyun-wook was Song Yun-a, the deputy head of the Special Secret Police Agency’s ‘New Town Planning Office, where Lee Hyun-wook was nominally the team leader, and was in charge of managing and supervising the construction of the arsenal.

“If it goes as it is now, I think we can hold the completion ceremony and the launch ceremony in 13 days.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do the completion ceremony. There’s nothing good about making noise.”

“Nevertheless, I think small events are necessary to boost the morale of the employees who will work here.”

is it? Lee Hyun-wook nodded his head without thinking.

At that time, a certain cypher energy bloomed at a construction site, and everyone turned their heads to it.

Suddenly, all the construction materials piled up on one side came up spontaneously as if attracted to a magnet… … .

Tickle—tickle—

Isn’t it just like assembling Lego, interlocking each other to form a single building?

‘As expected, it is the ability of the highest level architect-type player.’

It was easy to build a building just like stacking a building with one click in the game.

The amount of money they receive from building a building at once like that is several tens of billions of dollars.

Even if the cooldown was 240 hours, it deserved to be called a walking construction company.

‘After all, with the government’s support, everything is swift.’

Doo doo doo doo–

At that time, two AMT helicopters flew in from the west and landed on a simple helicopter port.

The people who got off there were none other than Director Woo Seong-moon and his subordinate team leaders.

They checked where Lee Hyun-wook was, and started approaching with a rather hasty pace.

‘But Chief Woo… … You look very tired these days, don’t you?’

Although she was still at her correct age, it was not because of her mood that she looked older these days. No matter how strong a person was, he would suffer from a series of continuous disasters.

‘Like me, it’s a series of things that are difficult to handle unless you know the future in advance… … .’

As it is a position where I feel a greater sense of responsibility than anyone else, it was strange if I had a good complexion.

And as another catastrophe was foretold, there seemed to be no time for the complexion to recover.

“… … I heard that dragons, and even adults, are going to appear in our country.”

Director Woo Seong-moon’s first words explained why he came here.

It was Lee Hyun-wook who predicted the disaster of the World Tree administrator.

“Is that true?”

Hyunwook Lee slowly nodded his head.

“… … Perhaps there is a mark on this land, and I feel like I want to visit a shaman.”

After stopping the invasion of the Black Orc Kingdom, the next Black Dragon… … .

If there was an operator in this game, it was clear that he had a grudge against this country.

“If that’s true, we were discussing whether we should call the British Dragon Slayer.

Three years ago, an adult red dragon appeared in London and made the whole area devastated.

At that time, the British player Edward Woods’ attack team managed to hunt him down.

He later revealed that he had achieved an ‘achievement’ called .

And I joked that if a dragon came, I would catch it and keep it like a pet iguana.

Thanks to the impact of that time, he has been acting as an advisor for attacking dragon-type monsters, and if a dragon appears, it is an undeniable fact that he will be the best adversary.

“Anyway, Dragon Slayer, if that’s the case, you’ll be able to respond better than anyone else.”

At that, Lee Hyun-wook pretended to be worried and shook his head.

“Um… I don’t think there is any need for that.”

“… … Really, do you think so?”

“As always, you have to be careful about borrowing outside power.”

Hey, Team Leader Lee Kyo-jun took a step forward.

“You have to be really careful this time. Isn’t it like a dragon, actually the final boss?”

The world has turned into a game, and its form is based on fantasy.

And in fantasy, it is often portrayed as an absolute being called a dragon.

A living being that is stronger than any other living being, in fact, comparable to that of a god… … .

Dragon, it wasn’t unusual for everyone’s faces to turn blue just by the name alone.

“Have you already figured out how to attack?”

Director Woo Seong-moon, who asked such a question, opened his eyes.

Before disaster struck, he always looked at Lee Hyun-wook’s expression.

This time, I felt that it was no different from before.

Hyun-wook Lee nodded slowly, and Seong-moon Woo gave a strange smile.

Hyunwook Lee raised his head and looked up at the sky.

“The easiest way to catch flying things… is, after all, to drop them to the ground.”

When the Gray Dwarf migrated, there was a time when it was easily suppressed by tying the Gray Wyvern’s wings.

However, even if mosquitoes were dropped with insecticide, it was not possible to drop eagles.

‘Yes, it’s safe to say that there is a gap between the Gray Wyvern and the Black Dragon.’

If so, what should I do to drop the dragon?

‘Simple. You just have to use a much more powerful tool to tie up its wings.’

He raised his left hand.

blah blah–

Two thin lines of metal rose from the rigid palms and twisted each other.

Thus, the born Kang-Sak-wire bound Lee Hyun-wook’s index and middle fingers.

“I’m going to make a huge steel net to catch dragons.”

But there was a strange surprise on the faces of those who heard it.

Then they looked at each other with expressions asking if this made sense.

“Anyway, the dragon isn’t just a big bird, would it be caught that way?”

Everyone nodded at Lee Kyo-jun’s words.

Three years ago, the size of an adult dragon that appeared in London, England alone was 34.2m.

The scene where the double-decker bus flew by just the slight flapping of its wings remained on video.

What kind of string could tie a wing with that kind of power?

“That’s true, but we’ve got some pretty sturdy materials in advance.”

“First, I plan to weave a bunch of 100% Adamant wire.”

The Adamant mine in Red Hall Village, which is secretly managed by Lee Hyun-wook, the daily mining amount there has risen to 11 kg in recent years. It would be quite useful if you used it to weave a wire.

“Hmm… no matter how much Adamantra, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to subdue a dragon…”

But it is still skeptical. Hyunwook Lee also nodded.

“Of course, it won’t be just Adamant.”

“No, then what are you going to do…”

But then—

Whoa—!

A huge shadow fell over his head, and a strong wind blew.

It was the appearance of the Grey Slug, a super-sized aircraft of the Gray Dwarves.

“Ah, I just came.”

“… … Yes?”

“The dragon hunting materials I ordered have arrived.”

The lower part of opened and several boxes came down hanging from the lift.

“Boss, everything has arrived!”

Jeong-jun Lee, a man who came down on the lift with the box, shouted so.

Then he opened the first box, and what was inside was… … .

“—The vines of the world tree, a total of 5.5 km!”

It was a by-product of the world tree, which could not be obtained no matter how much money there was.

That’s 5.5 km long… … It couldn’t have been more of a mouth-watering amount.

“No, how the hell do you get so many vines…”

“If it’s that amount, can’t it be converted into money?”

Donald Harris, the manager of the World Tree, was famous for being strict and exclusive in everything.

Although all kinds of catastrophes devoured the world, he offered no support.

Therefore, providing such an excessive amount of World Tree items was a truly surprising scene.

Obtaining such a large amount was impossible even if the state came forward and negotiated.

“Did Donald Harris even give him a warning and even support him?”

Hyun-wook Lee nodded and took out the ‘Hook of the World Tree’.

“Come on, I’m going to remodel the vines of this World Tree in this way from now on.”

[Item information]

– Name: Hook of the World Tree (Skilled)

– Effect: If you hang the ‘hook’ on the tip of the vine somewhere and give it mana, it can be pulled very easily with mystical power.

The scene of using this item has already been revealed several times.

“Ah! Taesan Han used this to tie up one arm of the giant Sumakkt and subdue it, didn’t it?”

“But didn’t that Han Tae-san just tie up one arm at most?”

Even Taesan Han, the strongest player, could only tie Sumakt’s arm.

Even though he gained twice the strength by wearing Thor’s belt ‘Meggillord’.

If so, isn’t it virtually impossible to subdue a stronger black dragon?

“Hmm… even if there are dozens of warrior-type players hanging… will that be enough?”

To such a question, Lee Hyun-wook once again provided an answer.

“Some of my subordinates use a little bit of energy.”

Saying so, he raised his head and gave someone a hand signal.

Then another lift began to descend from within the Gray Slug.

What’s on it… … It looked like a human, that is, a giant.

thud–!

Even though it was put down very slowly, the ground was hollow and dust was rising.

Uh–

“Huh?”

A metal giant, a giant made of Orihalcon to be exact, slowly got up.

Its dark blue surface reflected sunlight and shimmered like liquid in a barrel.

And two eye lights lit up on his face… … Suddenly an emoji comes to mind.

「(^_^) Nice to meet you. My name is Talos, the AI ​​assistant to the Laputa Manager.”

“What else is this…”

The number Lee Hyun-wook brought out was unbelievable.

“If you pull the hook of the world tree with the power of this friend, it can pull tens of thousands of tons.”

“This is part of it, and there is still time, so we will continue to prepare.”

At this point, everyone had to keep their mouths shut.

No matter how worried and denial, Lee Hyun-wook seemed to raise objections about him.

‘And the most decisive number is in my hands.’

Even if he could actually bring down the dragon, stopping him was another matter.

‘In my previous life, the gravity wizard Seongyoon Lee reversed gravity and crashed it 3 times… … .’

But in the end, there was not enough damage, so I let him fly again. In the process, countless players were revived, and Suwon became an uninhabitable fortress land.

In that sense, the most necessary thing to kill a dragon was the power of a ‘Dragon Slayer’.

Those who have already possessed the power of the dragon by destroying the ‘Dragon Heart’ once… … .

Thus, you gain the power to nullify the absolute ‘barrier’ unique to dragons.

At this point in time, Edward Woods and his spear were known to be the only beings with such power.

‘But as of yesterday, one was added.’

That’s right… … .

[Item information]

– Name: Mowglay (Hero)

– effect

1) Mass Liberation (1~5): Releases the sealed ‘mass’ and gives the user ‘strength’.

2) Shockwave: Generates a powerful shock wave. This destructive power is proportional to the mass liberation of 1.

3) Mana Explosive Sword: The blade is endowed with ‘power of a typhoon’, causing a ‘storm’ in the next blow.

4) Space Cutter: A very sharp blade of wind is fired to cut a large area.

5) Dragon Slayer: As the power to kill a dragon, it partially ignores the power of the dragon.

The moglay that Lee Hyun-wook used in his previous life… … .

The thing that pierced the head of the black dragon Aji Dahaka in the sky over Suwon,

That giant sword was now returned to Lee Hyun-wook’s hand.

And like this, the ‘Dragon Slayer’ function was still valid.

‘With this Mowglay, I would be able to pierce through his head much more easily than in my previous life.’

He was confident in catching the black dragon Aji Dahaka, a big fish with that name.
