Steel eating player chapter 155

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

“… … Well, dealing with gargoyles in an environment like this is not a good idea.”

It was Lee Kyo-jun, the team leader who said that. He stood one step behind the red line on the floor, illuminating the ceiling with a flashlight. There were three-meter-tall monster statues hanging like bats. There were a total of 12 gargoyle objects.

“And above all… the moment you step in here, a barrier is created and you can’t escape. A security facility like this would cost at least tens of billions of dollars, but I spent some money.”

Most of the money must have come from lobbying, and some from the treasury.

“For now, why don’t you wait for the right tank team to arrive? It’s a loss if you get tangled up in such a small place and get hurt anywhere.”

Lee Kyo-jun glanced at Lee Hyun-wook. Of course, it was never that I didn’t trust Lee Hyun-wook. But there was no need to take risks in front of an unfavorable environment.

Director Woo Seong-moon always advised him, above all else, that Lee Hyun-wook’s safety comes first. Well, it’s unlikely that he’s going to suffer, but you don’t know?

‘Lee Hyun-wook… … It is the strongest weapon that should not be lost no matter what.’

Until recently, Lee Kyo-jun was worried because it seemed like he was putting too much power on Lee Hyun-wook, but now he has no choice but to admit it honestly. without him

Therefore, Lee Kyo-jun did not want Lee Hyun-wook to take on such chores.

However, Lee Hyun-wook had already brought an AD-2 and was preparing for battle.

“Captain Lee, we need to start a fire quickly before the rats leave the den and scatter.”

“Ah, there’s no need to overdo it…”

“Don’t worry. We can handle about 12 gargoyles in an instant.”

After saying that, he went inside the red line. OK… … .

– caution! You have entered the ‘Second Level Magical Security Area’.

* This area is a prohibited area except for registered players.

And of course, Lee Hyun-wook’s mana pattern was judged to be inconsistent.

At that moment, the tunnel was dyed red and a siren went off somewhere.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave to have it!

“Wait a minute! Anyway, just in case you don’t know, let’s hang out with our teammates—”

But it’s already too late. A barrier sagged behind Lee Hyun-wook’s back and access was restricted.

And the gargoyle statues on the ceiling wobbled, and a red eye glow lit up.

Stones fell from all over their bodies, and their joints twitched.

– Tier 2 Gargoyle (LV: 71)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Twelve rock monsters began to flutter their stiff tongues toward Lee Hyun-wook.

‘It’s about level 71 now, and it can be wiped out even if you hit it with a bunch.’

Hyunwook Lee summoned all 4 Moglays from the subspace of AD-2 behind him.

Then, the metal was created and two moglays were attached to each other.

Two-ton originals were made with temporary replicas, and two pairs of ‘double-edged swords’ were made.

“Uh… what else is that?”

Outside the barrier, Team Leader Lee Kyo-jun asked with a question of curiosity.

“Well, should I say Mowglay propellers?”

“Yeah? Propellers? Oh, it looked like that…”

Two giant swords perfectly symmetrical up and down, Lee Hyun-wook gave them rotation.

Woong-woong-woong-woong-woong–!

Then, centrifugal force was applied to the heavy weight, and it began to bear a powerful rotational force like the rotor of a helicopter. A gust of wind from that violent rotation filled the tunnel, and those standing outside the barrier had no choice but to step backwards, covering their heads with their arms.

“ね!

Two-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo–!

It really sounded like two huge helicopters were taking off right in front of them.

Hyunwook Lee advanced the ‘Moglay Propeller’, which reached 5m in opening, forward.

At the same time, 12 gargoyles kicked off the ceiling and flew towards Lee Hyun-wook.

‘You can’t avoid a 5-meter rotating blade in this narrow place.’

The moment he spread his left hand, the Moglay propeller swept the gargoyles away.

Fer- bur- bur- bur- bur–!

That was the end. With a single gesture, 12 gargoyles were ripped apart and scattered all over the place, and rubble piled up on the floor like a demolition site.

Team leader Lee Kyo-jun, who could not hide his worries earlier, only put on a shy expression.

“Huh… well, Mi, I believed in it, but I said to be careful just in case you didn’t know, yes.”

At that time, Lee Hyun-wook lifted his body into the air and flew towards the ceiling.

“Hey, where are you going now?”

“… … I think there is something here.”

[Object Information]

– Name: Synesthetic Mirage Curtain (Heroes)

– Effect: Disguise a certain space as a ‘synesthetic mirage’.

Hyunwook Lee grabbed it.

chin-

‘It’s a concrete texture that doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all. It’s like I’m just touching the ceiling.’

But even this feeling was disguised. Lee Hyun-wook grabbed a part and pulled it. Then there was the sound of something breaking. Then, as if stripped of skin, one side of the ceiling swung down, revealing the hidden reality.

“… … Uh, is that a door?”

A black curtain was held in Lee Hyun-wook’s hand, and an iron gate hung from the ceiling.

“Yeah, I think it’s a real safe.”

There were various security devices hanging there too, but it didn’t take long to open them.

bang!

Lee Hyun-wook ripped off the 1.5 magic metal iron gate and went inside.

It was a space like an attic, and all kinds of things were piled up one after another.

‘Yeah, just looking at it, it’s Hwang Yeon-soo’s slush fund item warehouse?’

There were a lot of things that were quite valuable, but I couldn’t take them lightly.

Because I didn’t know what would be the decisive evidence.

“……Well?”

However, there was one item that stood out in particular.

“What, is that a sword?”

It was about 2.3 m tall, and it was a rusty giant sword slightly larger than Mowglay.

[Item information]

– Name: Sword that has completely cooled

– Effect: Absorbs heat and releases ‘heat’.

“Is this… a potential item?”

If it wasn’t for that, there would be no way I would have put such a junky item here.

Upon closer inspection, a sword with a similar design came to mind.

It was a massive size that an ordinary human could not wield, and it was characterized by a dark red sword like magma, and a magical sword that turns the entire area into a volcanic land when it hits the ground… … .

“Is it… Surtur’s sword, Leviathan?”

There is a myth that Surt, a fire giant in Norse mythology, burned the whole world with a flame sword during Ragnarok, and the name of that sword was ‘Levatein’.

‘I didn’t know at all, but this seems to have gone through the hands of Hwang Yeon-soo?’

Later, after wandering here and there, he finally ‘opens his potential’ in the hands of Inferno.

After that, the Necromancer kills the Inferno and acquires this item.

‘I don’t know how to unlock this sword’s potential, but maybe it has something to do with fire?’

So, while no one could unlock their potential, Inferno succeeded.

Lee Hyun-wook decided not to know anything else in this attic, but only this big sword.

‘It’s just too important to be used as evidence.’

After that, I found a small USB inside a small magic safe inside the attic.

Kyo-Jun Lee connected the USB to the laptop and looked at the contents and smiled.

“Wow… Director Hwang, this bastard, neglected his work and was quite meticulous, didn’t he?”

The contents of the USB were truly shocking. It was a record of all kinds of misconduct that would blow up a lot of the country’s influential people.

In other words, conclusive evidence—a smoking gun.

“Huh— this is not going to be water cleaning, but it’s going to be quite a disaster, right?”

Kyo-Jun Lee kept smiling with an excited expression on his face.

With this, a justification for pruning the rotten branches of this country was prepared.

Now, all I had to do was watch Woo Seong-moon dance the sword dance.

***

The next morning, Hyun-wook Lee was sitting in the Order Tower watching the news on the Internet.

– [Breaking News] It is estimated that many political, financial, and political figures in Yeonhui-dong’s ‘Panic Room’ were involved

As a common idiom, there is the expression ‘the country is turned upside down’, and it often appeared when the entire nation was interested and shocked and angry.

Now was that moment.

Attacking the Dragon—Attacking the Labyrinth—Attempting to assassinate Lee Hyun-wook—to the Yeonhui-dong Gate… … .

It was a series of big issues that could really draw the attention of the whole nation, and the public’s anger in front of the villain revealed in the final episode became a storm.

As the president’s order had already been given, Woo Seong-moon mobilized all his administrative powers to capture all the political, business, and political suspects involved in the ‘Yeonhui-dong Gate’ incident.

– At the Yeonhui-dong gate, the people snorted at the claim of ‘Sahwa’, “This is unacceptable”

On the other hand, it was Lee Hyun-wook who was targeted by the power who plotted such a plot, and it was Lee Hyun-wook who tracked them down and wiped them out with one blow, so his image was improving.

– Hyunwook Lee, not only catch monsters, but also eliminate cancerous elements of the country?

– The savior, bipartisan support pours out for Lee Hyun-wook’s actions that can only be explained in that way

I wonder if the joke that Lee Hyun-wook is the next president is filling the internet?

Judging from this public opinion, it seemed that there was no break in Woo Seong-moon’s sword dance.

‘By the way, some of the low-profile characters are strangely not mentioned?’

Among the ‘lists’ that Lee Hyun-wook knew, there were those who avoided the sword dance of Woo Seong-moon.

‘This is probably… … It seems that Director Woo tamed it and made it into a hunting dog?’

They must have committed great unforgivable sins, but I couldn’t blow them all away at once. Rather, it was strategic to persuade some of them and make them ‘minds’. They will ask you for evidence that you have not yet secured.

Of course, if the situation stabilized again later, they were destined to become Tosagupins.

‘Bold use and bold removal, that is the style of Woo Seong-moon.’

At that moment, the door of the Order Tower opened and Seo Eun-ha and Kim Se-hee entered.

“It’s really spacious here. After all, it’s been a really long walk…”

“However, there are some spaces that have not been opened yet.”

“Oh, yes? How much is this for real estate?”

It seems that Kim Se-hee guided Seo Eun-ha all over Laputa.

However, Seo Eun-ha was pulling a stroller, and what was in it was a huge blue egg, a dragon egg. She carefully parked the stroller to one side.

“Lee Hyun-wook, do you know when this egg will wake up?”

“Um… well. First of all, you have to keep paying attention.”

“I know, that’s why you’re carrying it around like this.”

About the hatching of dragons, Hyunwook Lee honestly did not know very well. The Russian Dragon Knight, who possessed that egg in his previous life, was a person who did not have a deep relationship with Lee Hyun-wook.

‘However, at first glance, did you say that they hatched after about a month after securing it?’

In fact, even that wasn’t accurate information, as the dragon was at its most vulnerable right after hatching, so it wasn’t that he didn’t reveal any information to the public.

“Anyway, the most important thing is to keep him next to the egg.”

“Hey, how many times do you say that? Very, I feel like an egg-laying hen.”

“Hmm, there must be many better expressions, but that’s why…”

“Hey, hey, you know that it feels more oppressed than being a soldier?”

And part of the attack squadron commanded by Seo Eun-ha was to be absorbed into .

In other words, Seo Eun-ha joined Lee Hyun-wook’s team just like in her previous life.

“Well, anyway— I wish you all the best in the future.”

If she goes public with Lee Hyun-wook’s support and even hatches a dragon, she will… … .

‘… … He will become the best tank in his past life.’

***

The next day, Hyun-wook Lee was headed somewhere after being contacted by blacksmiths.

“Master, we have arrived.”

The auto lift Lee Hyun-wook was riding on stopped, and the front door opened.

Pushy—

A huge space appeared in front of me. It was the ‘Main Dock’ on the first basement floor of Laputa.

This was the largest single space in Laputa, and when the upper ceiling was opened, the hangar was directly connected to the ‘aircraft port’, and dozens of aircraft could be loaded.

But now, completely different things were filling the vast space.

that… … The corpse of a black dragon about 70m tall, and that was a whopping two pieces.

In one corner, gray dwarves and blacksmith players were gathered.

“No, it’s a loss if you use that part like that— You’re a lazy dwarf even thinking about it!”

“Ah— these human children are just babbling without knowing anything!”

Perhaps they were discussing how to cook that huge ingredient, and Hyunwook Lee went inside carefully so as not to interfere with their constructive discussion.

Meanwhile, Kang Hee-seol was watching the dragon spinning round and round.

“Hey— this! I told you not to go near your mouth, didn’t you?”

Kang Hee-seol, who was examining Aji Dahaka’s head at Kang Jeong-doo’s shout, took a step back.

Sure enough, it was quite dangerous because the strong acid breath was still stagnating inside the ‘breath room’ inside the dragon’s body, and it was coming out little by little. So, I put up a fence around it, put a sign prohibiting access, and surrounded it with a magic shield in several layers.

“Oh! I don’t know that? They’re all equipped with safety gear, so don’t worry!”

“Bitch, are you making such a big noise that you know how to hammer now?”

In fact, Kang Hee-seol had reached the highest level among blacksmiths. In the first place, it was a lumber that would one day be chosen by seven dwarf craftsmen and become ‘Elder Smith’, so it had extraordinary potential. Most of the recent high-performance objects have been her work.

“—Oh, the water lord has come!”

When she found Lee Hyun-wook, she turned on the lights in her eyes and ran. Then he started to give his own presentation, chatting about how he wanted to use that valuable material.

“… … In my opinion, it would be better to make a ‘dragonfly’ with dragon teeth.”

It’s a dragon soldier… … Even Lee Hyun-wook couldn’t help but be interested in that subject.

As a soldier who was born based on the teeth of a dragon, he would become the strongest member of the family.

‘It’s definitely useful, but if you encounter a necromancer, you may lose control.’

In terms of setting, dragon infantry is more of an ‘undead’ made from the body of a dead being. In other words, no matter how much master authority was secured, there was a great risk of being taken away from the Necromancer.

However…….

“But just dragon soldiers aren’t very interesting, so I’ve been looking at the facilities of the these days, and how can they fuse with the iron golem’s core to make them suitable for the water lord to use and make them into mechanical soldiers? How are you?”

At that point, Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes lit up.

“…is that possible?”

“Well, you have to do that, right?”

“Okay, can you study there?”

“Oh— oops! I’ll do my best!”

Kang Hee-seol was excited and swung the hammer back and forth.

And then, I had something to ask of Kang Jeong-doo.

“Major Kang, first of all, can you make armor out of Aji Dahaka’s skin?”

“Yeah, but right now, I was looking at which parts of the leather were the right thing to do.”

Of course, Lee Hyun-wook had a unique defensive skill called ‘Rigidization’.

‘No matter how much, you can’t compare it to dragon armor.’

And if you put on dragon armor on top of the rigid boots, your defense would double.

“And I hope you haven’t touched the Dragon Heart yet.”

“Yeah, it’s not the job of a craftsman to fiddle with things that are off-topic as experiments.”

Edward Woods barely used the heart of an adult dragon as a magic shield.

‘That’s because the Dragon Heart is just a huge mana generator.’

To be honest, at first glance, it just seemed like an overwhelmingly powerful magical mass.

But that was because the player could not interpret the verb.

With that knowledge, Dragon Heart’s uses are truly limitless.

‘For example, a magic jukebox that uses the highest level of magic like a vending machine… … .’

There is still no way to interpret the verb, but it will soon be discovered.

That night…….

“Master, a portal has been detected in the nearby sky!”

In response to Talos’ emergency report, Lee Hyun-wook hurried up to the rooftop of the Order Tower.

In the western sky, among the gray clouds hanging over the black sky, a light flashed.

Lee Hyun-wook hurriedly opened a post, and caught a bird flying.

– Vedrepolnir (LV: 112)

‘That’s the hawk that lives in the World Tree… … In other words, they belong to Donald Harris.’

Hung——

Perhaps it was a message from Donald Harris.

‘Should I prepare to hunt Nidhogg soon?’

As promised with Donald Harris, it was his turn to hunt the Nidhogg beneath the World Tree.

‘If there are three dragon slayers and dragon equipment, it will not be difficult.’

Soon, the white hawk ‘Vedrepolnir’ landed on the railing right in front of Hyun-wook Lee.

But doesn’t he have the voice of Donald Harris?

“How are you, Stilane? Do you know who I am?”

“Mr. Harris, did you come by yourself?”

“No, not directly, this guy is giving me my voice.”

However, the news he brought was unexpected.

“Steelane, things are getting complicated…”

“Yes? What’s going on?”

“Presumably, the Republic of Chad is about to be invaded.”

Lee Hyun-wook’s eyebrows twitched. In his memory, that never happened.

“So, we’re preparing for war, so we’ll have to delay the attack on Nidhogg.”

“Who the hell is attacking the Republic of Chad?”

“That’s right, hmm— maybe a dark elf… you don’t know?”

3rd Wave—Green Hell in Berlin’s Erosion Zone… … The ‘Dark Elf Legion’, which was growing in power underground there, seemed to have held a campaign earlier than expected.
