Steel eating player chapter 16
Explosive Growth, and Opportunities-1

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

Lee Hyun-wook faced the Orc with a sword and shield.

“······Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee! Oh, the orcs are too dangerous!”

Behind his back, Choi Choi’s worried voice rang.

She watched Lee Hyun-wook’s tremendous performance from the side, but she thought it was impossible to deal with Orcs anyway.

And that was a natural judgment.

“Oh, no! I have to hold on in the bus…”

However, Lee Hyun-wook proceeded toward the giant monster without an answer.

The fight could not be avoided as long as we had already encountered it.

‘If you sell your eyes from this moment on, your throat will fly.’

All Orcs were well-trained warriors, so even Lee Hyun-wook could never be vigilant.

‘Fortunately, he hasn’t noticed my abilities yet.’

Otherwise, I won’t be fooled by pulling out the throwing ax stuck in my shoulder and throwing it behind my back.

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the orc after checking the location of the ax.

The orc moved first.

Ah ah!

It hurled, lifting the battle ax above his head.

‘It’s a striking attack!’

He used “control” to the tip of the orc’s raised battle ax and pulled it backwards.

Then his body looked very slightly flinched.

He-uh!

Even with a large orc, if a 5kg weight was suddenly hung on the end of the weapon, it was bound to lose its balance instantly.

At the same time, Lee Hyun-wook stepped to the right and stepped out of his sight, then naturally released the sword he was holding in his right hand.

Literally, I relaxed my grip and put it in the air.

Su-reuk-

Pommel got out of Lee Hyun-wook’s grasp.

However, his eyes were still chasing Lee Hyun-wook’s head, and he couldn’t find a “sword” that moved close to the ground.

Next moment,

Fook!

The “sword” got stuck in his right thigh.

······Huh?

It staggered and gave a puzzled expression.

I have to.

‘It is now.’

Lee Hyun-wook flooded and struck the orc’s jaw with the edge of the shield.

puck!

Subsequently, he swung his fist with a “strengthened body” at the guy who was stepping back.

Nice-billion!

Lee Hyun-wook’s light hook was accurately placed on his back head.

Oh uh…

No matter how many Orcs, the goal-scoring damage exploded three times in a row, and they couldn’t stand with two feet.

He stumbled and sank down.

Even though he fell into such a state of grogi, he showed himself like a seasoned warrior trying to defend against subsequent attacks by lifting a battle ax…

What?!

The sound of cracking watermelon,

A throwing ax was stuck in its back head.

Even the most seasoned warrior couldn’t even prevent attacks from behind his back.

“Okay, if you put a dangerous object anywhere, would you use it?”

He slowly lowered the hand he had lifted.

“uh······.”

“Wow, that’s great….”

“That guy’s rumors, it was all real!”

There was a faint sound of admiration from inside the bus.

Until now, they were the soldiers of the headquarters company who ignored Lee Hyun-wook as F-class.

Pup-

Lee Hyun-wook pulled a sword out of the orc’s thigh.

“No! Careful!”

I heard someone cry.

Turning around, an orc was running like a bull.

Thump-thump-thump-thump-

Just before he collides with him, Lee Hyun-wook wore rigid body shoes on both arms.

‘This cannot be stopped with one hand!’

It is literally like a bull’s charge.

He dropped his sword and grabbed the shield with both hands.

His right foot was pulled back and all weight and metal control were put on the shield.

Shortly thereafter, a battle ax fell over the shield.

Kwa-ang!

Metal-to-metal collision,

A tremendous shock flowed down my wrists and shook my shoulders and knees.

“······Kim!”

My intestines were fluctuating, and I felt nauseous for a moment.

However, even at that moment, Lee Hyun-wook’s sense did not miss the “sword” falling freely under the shield.

‘-go!’

It raised his head according to Lee Hyun-wook’s will.

Choo-oah!

The sword shot vertically passed through the orc’s groin.

The tendon of the thigh was cut off, and the Orc sat down.

Like the one he killed just before, the face is full of embarrassment.

It looked like he couldn’t figure out where the sword suddenly came from.

“Yes, I understand your feelings.”

After placing the sword outside the enemy’s field of view, it moves with control and raids, Lee Hyun-wook named it “Hidden Sword.”

‘No one considers the sword that leaves the enemy’s hand to be a threat. And that’s why they push them out of awareness and focus only on the enemy in front of them.’

Hidden Sword was the number that penetrated such prejudice.

Even now, the game was decided with one of those hidden swords.

Lee Hyun-wook lifted the shield and struck the face of the orc.

Drench!

Nose crumbles in one room,

Drench!

Teeth popped out in both rooms.

Oops-worry!

It ended with three rooms.

“Woah, like this two…….”

Lee Hyun-wook picked up his sword and looked around.

Three orc scouts move in a group. There would have been one more somewhere.

By the way······.

“-Kak!”

Somewhere I heard a woman scream. Lee Hyun-wook ran to the back of the bus.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee! That way!”

Choi Sun-ah, who looked out of the window, pointed somewhere.

A single orc was running through the guardrail and into the forest.

And there was a female soldier hanging from his shoulder.

The drooping was probably fainted.

Lee Hyun-wook showed off his abilities and pulled the metal-battle ax attached to his back, but there was no way he could stop him with it.

“Damn it!”

This was also unexpected.

It was a good thing for Lee Hyun-wook to come out and save two people, but that’s why an orc kidnapped a female soldier by taking a route.

‘You can’t be beaten with your eyes open.’

The most important thing in an unexpected situation is good judgment,

And it’s a determination that can be put into action.

Tongue!

Lee Hyun-wook put the shield on the floor and held the sword in reverse.

“after······.”

And after breathing in, he pulls the sword behind his back,

Hung-

I threw it with all my might.

In fact, it’s really crazy to throw a weapon at the back of a running Orc here.

A hostage hanging from the shoulder could be beaten.

‘But I am different.’

Leaving Lee Hyun-wook’s hand, the sword made an unnatural flight somewhere.

Instead of drawing a parabola and falling, it was like a guided missile, chasing the back of an orc.

It was so accurate.

Fu-wook-

The sword pierced the orc’s neck.

The giant fell over the grass.

***

After processing three orcs like that, I watched the surroundings, but I couldn’t see much movement.

As expected, they seemed to be moving away from the main unit, as they were “back soldiers.”

‘It must have been because the kidnapping attempt was also a scout.’

Orcs weren’t a race to avoid battles, and the races that showed their backs weren’t even worse.

However, since he was a scout, he seemed to have considered it more important to search, reconnaissance, and report to the main unit rather than battle.

Lee Hyun-wook searched for orc corpses.

Along with 3 mana stones, a good item came out.

-Acquired’Earth Orb (Level 3)’.

Yesterday, it was a higher grade than the’orb’ purchased at the PX military item store.

“If the Earth Orb is Grade 3…… Would you like about 4 million won?”

In general, ownership of the item lies with the organization that has the authority to attack the dungeon.

Guild or AMT, etc.

However, if the attack authority has not been determined yet, or if the item was obtained after being attacked by a monster outside the ‘Red Ground’ and counterattacked against it, the ownership authority is given to the first acquirer.

In other words, this item was owned by Lee Hyun-wook. He made a lot of money from a brief happening.

It was then.

Wow-

Two black SUVs came up from the bottom of the mountain and stopped right next to the bus.

“what is this?”

Lieutenant Suntopja frowned and approached him.

“Who are you there! This road is not a general road, it is a military road. You shouldn’t come up attentively!”

The rear door of the first SUV opened, and someone got off.

It was a woman.

But at first glance, it wasn’t unusual.

“What, what is…….”

Reggae hair, purple lens sunglasses, gray striped suit set….

If you look at it that far, it will be considered an unusual style, but if you see a spider the size of a palm attached to her shoulders and nape of her neck and crawling around…

Ki-lit! Ki-lit!

It seemed that the sentiment would change drastically.

She ignored the so-called and passed by blocking the road ahead.

“······uh?”

As the ensign hesitated, as if embarrassed, the man who got out of the passenger seat followed by a business card.

“This is the Cheonghwa Guild.”

“······Ah, is that so?”

In this way, the “raid team” belonging to the Cheonghwa Guild who was passing by was just passing by before the 2nd Battalion’s 5th squadron arrived.

Probably, if Lee Hyun-wook had not intervened, they would have arrived and finished the situation only after two people died.

The woman stopped in front of Lee Hyun-wook.

“There, you.”

She sang Lee Hyun-wook and took off her sunglasses.

“Yes?”

However, the moment Lee Hyun-wook confirmed her features, he couldn’t prevent her from frowning.

‘······What, why is this woman here?’

Because it was a known face.

And it was a face that I didn’t want to remember.

At first glance, this woman, who seems to be full of self-love, was Catherine Yu, the second daughter and A-class player of the strongest civilian guild in Korea, 〈Cheonghwa〉.

‘Haehaena…….’

It may be called that way now, but not in the future.

‘After being pushed out of the succession fight within the Cheonghwa Guild, he enters the Blue Tree.’

〈Blue Tree〉 is the world’s best company, headed by villain leader Gordon Price. It was also the core of the villa organization.

In other words, this woman is a player who will become a ‘villan’ in the future.

She raised her index finger toward Lee Hyun-wook’s chest.

It was to check the periodic table of names of combat suits.

“Your name is Lee Hyun-wook. Rank… Corporal? Am I right? I don’t know much about the military ranks.”

“······.”

Lee Hyun-wook did not answer.

It was unpleasant.

Not because of the arrogant attitude, but the very existence of this woman was unpleasant.

‘Is it because she was the woman who killed Eun-ha Seo….’

Seo Eun-ha, who threw herself to protect Lee Hyun-wook….

She was swept away by a swarm of “cannibal bugs” controlled by this woman, Yoshina.

Lee Hyun-wook remembered the scene and frowned without knowing it.

She looked at Lee Hyun-wook’s face and continued talking with a bloody smile.

“Aren’t you embarrassed? I know.”

I think I’ve read the wrong expression…

“Because I’ve seen it all, you make 3 orcs like that. You were good at work.”

Anyway, the killer’s ability was to control insects. It is not an ordinary bug, but a magically cultivated ‘worm’, and controls millions of them.

Perhaps after listening to the “public emergency rescue signal,” he launched a flying bug to see what was happening here.

“The introduction was late, but I’m Catherine Yu, the head of the Cheonghwa Guild Seoul Attack. I’ve seen it for a second, but the way you fight. It was interesting.”

Cheonghwa Guild’s second daughter looked good……… If it was an ordinary AMT soldier, it was a situation that would make him drool, but it was an annoying situation for Lee Hyun-wook.

She pulled out a business card from her wallet with her index and middle fingers, and then gently twisted her wrist and stretched it out.

“Do you have a grade?”

However, Lee Hyun-wook was well aware of this woman’s wicked psychology.

Rather than really admiring Lee Hyun-wook’s skills and wanting to recruit him, he was a human who enjoyed sprinkling business cards on people she thought was insignificant and reminiscent of his authority and position.

‘But I know another side of this woman well. A very childish back view.’

As the second daughter of a giant guild, she grew up receiving the treatment of a princess throughout her life and was treated best after becoming a player.

All the things I want to have so far have been held in my hands, and her words alone would make most people bow their heads.

‘A being that touches her pride becomes her challenge.’

Brothers who always had an upper hand over her,

S-class players with unreachable power,

And, even trivial, even a low-ranking player who refuses to sprinkle her bad-smelling business card.

‘I’m trying to conquer what’s inconvenient to my eyes.’

Yes, it was her strange desire to be called “conquer” rather than a challenge.

‘In other words, in order to properly use this woman who has not yet become a villain….’

Lee Hyun-wook did not even look at the business card under a thorough calculation.

“······.”

Then Yu-na’s expression gradually hardened.

Her graceful fingertips trembled subtly.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know why I need to give you my personal information.”

“······Hmm, a phone call would figure it out anyway. Please tell me.”

“Then use that phone.”

Lee Hyun-wook turned around saying so.

At that moment, Yu-na’s left eyebrow wriggled twice.

My pride must have been hurt.

“He’s more fun than it looks……?”

One side of her mouth was raised.

As expected, that strange desire to conquer will be springing up.

The ideal desire to somehow hold it in my hand and put it under my feet.

‘Because it was like that in the previous life.’

The reason Lee Hyun-wook knows about this woman’s psychology well is because she experienced it in her previous life.

When he just realized how to grow his abilities, Lee Hyun-wook belonged to a small guild.

At that time, by an accidental occasion, she met Yu Hyeon-na, who openly ignored Lee Hyun-wook’s guild and guild master, and gracefully presented a business card with the words ‘Cheonghwa’ as it is now.

Lee Hyun-wook did not receive the business card.

Furthermore, she ignored and passed by.

‘After that, I suffered a lot. This woman ran into all sorts of rage to somehow recruit me. Until I even kill myself with my own hands….’

When Lee Hyun-wook remembered that time, Chi was trembling.

“excuse me. Do you have a business card? It would be hard to get a business card of this value.”

“Fine.”

“······.”

At that time, a truck came down from the side of the unit.

It was an unnamed appearance, the 5th minute stance.

And after that, a white car also followed…

‘What, why is that woman again….’

In other words, the driver was sad.

‘Why does it appear after I have dealt with all the monsters every time? In other words, in the place where the remains are….’

Now, even he was questionable.
