Steel eating player chapter 160

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

Jack Hamilton was looking out at the shopping center Hive from the window of his cheap hotel room.

‘There… … Jane is in custody.’

Earlier, the ‘guest’ tortured the ‘monsters’ to find out some information, and Jack heard it from the side as well.

Those who kidnapped her were a notorious player criminal organization called Amarans.

On this floor, it is known as the best group of solvers that high-ranking people seek to solve problems.

It is made up of veterans who are capable of that much, so it has power comparable to that of any attacking guild.

‘Are they going to be crowded in there?’

Then, a man approached me. Again, he was a short man with a mask covering his face.

“Hey, friend… are you worried?”

It was as if he was talking to him to comfort him, but his voice crawled as if he lacked confidence somewhere.

“Ah yes…….”

But Jack had just confirmed with his own eyes that his skills were not normal either.

There, when the woman standing in front of another window caused a whirlwind,

I saw this man freely manipulating a large amount of electric current and injecting it into the whirlwind.

It seemed like a kind of ‘control-type’ ability that was impossible with normal magic.

I just wondered who Jane’s father was to send these people.

“But don’t worry about it. Everything will go as planned.”

It was a voice full of firm conviction for some reason, and Jack tilted his head, unable to hide his doubts.

“By the way, the number of criminal gang players in there… will be over a hundred.”

I had seen how strong that mysterious man was earlier, but I couldn’t help but worry.

No matter how perfect a plan was, and no matter how talented people entered, it was a dangerous situation.

‘And even sneaking in alone… … .’

Will he be able to save Jane? Could it be that she dies after touching the beehive for nothing?

However… … .

“Uh… but everything will be fine. I promise.”

The man didn’t say anything even in his crawling voice, and Jack tilted his head.

“… … I don’t quite understand. How can you be so sure?”

“This wouldn’t be a particularly convincing statement…”

He scratched his head, mumbled a few times before coming up with an answer.

“… … I’ve never seen one fail, that man.”

Who the hell is that man, he’s talking so proudly… … .

Jack looked out the window, a large building painted in green—hive.

What was going on there was unknown at this time.

‘By the way, the man’s attack methods… … It’s like I’ve seen it somewhere… … .’

Jack seemed to remember something, but in the end he couldn’t find the answer. Seeing that all three of those Jane’s father sent me didn’t take off their masks, there must have been a reason to hide their identities.

At that moment, Hannah Tate, who was standing next to her, murmured.

“Jack, maybe Nicole’s words… are they really prophecies?”

Nicole, Hannah brought up the weird kid’s name again.

“He told me. In this situation… Jane is in trouble and someone is going to save her…”

But Jack didn’t believe in such nonsense.

“Hey, if you metaphorize everything like Tarot in that way, it seems like you’ve got it right. Nicole, just looking at her, something dark is a guy who is immersed in an occult like astrology. Don’t worry about it.”

Nicole… … He was a strange child, but he was closer to being insane.

‘What kind of nonsense is that crazy bastard a prophet?’

There was only one player in history who could be called a prophet, and now he is dead.

It was far from the guy who was kicked out of the potion factory after only 3 days.

“Jack, I’ve heard more than you. That’s not all.”

“What else did you hear from him? It’s all bullshit—”

At that moment— the first-floor window shattered and something popped out.

“-uh?”

Someone with a backpack soared into the sky while hugging someone.

that… … It was Lee Hyun-wook, and the person he was holding was Jane.

‘Did you really save me? And so quickly… … .’

Jack shook his head with his mouth wide open. I thought this would make sense.

Kim Se-hee was the first to move. She opened the window.

“Park Jun-mo, take out Mjolnir and prepare firepower support from the rear!”

After leaving these words, Kim Se-hee jumped down the 4th floor.

***

Yggdrasil, a parasite-like dark elf detachment infiltrated this great city.

‘The only thing I saw in the basement was thirty or forty.’

As long as they knew each other’s identities, a battle was inevitable.

Now, without having to hide his identity, he had to pour all his firepower into a tactical advantage.

‘First, the whole building is torn down and all kinds of obstacles are swept away once.’

Since the hive is a den of evil in the first place, I did not feel guilty about cleaning it in a rather rough way.

‘But in me… … There was one dark elf boss monster of level 119.’

Hyun-wook Lee witnessed the ‘information’ of him at the moment when he hit the ground floor.

He wouldn’t die just from a collapse of a building, so it looked like he had to prepare for a big battle.

Meanwhile, Maru was excitedly scraping the concrete of the building.

“Okay, smashed everything! I can’t stand it anymore! Whoa-”

The outer wall and concrete collapsed with a quad- sound like a sand castle.

Although the firepower is far less than that of the ‘runaway’ state immediately after coming out of the city vacuum cleaner,

It was as easy as playing with clay to scrape off concrete from an A-grade earth spirit.

Lee Hyun-wook melted, crushed, and pulled out the exposed steel frames.

In just a few seconds, the building shook dangerously, and screams erupted from inside the building.

Perhaps there is an escape procession going on… … Maru piled up concrete shards in front of the door.

“Uh-huh, was that a little too much?”

At that time, Lee Hyun-wook detected some of the pillars carrying the most weight of the building.

‘This is the end.’

And the moment when ‘metal fusion’ is given to the steel frame inside—

Ku-gu-gu-gung–!

The whole building collapsed in an instant, and white dust was spewing high into the sky.

Upon hearing the loud roar, the residents of the area began to rush up to the side of the road.

“What, hey, what’s going on with this!”

“Hey, Hive… disappeared, right?”

It was a historic day when the hub of Ruthlett Town and the den of evil disappeared overnight.

“Ugh-”

At that moment, Jane, who was in Lee Hyun-wook’s arms, opened her eyes and let out a rough breath.

“Hey, I’m out of my mind… I haven’t come to my senses yet.”

She opened her eyes and was looking at Lee Hyun-wook, and her eyes were so wide.

“This is very unsettling…”

At this, Maru sounded an alarm with an urgent voice.

「Yeah, right! You must avoid it now! That guy starts a runaway!”

Runaway, it means that the spirit loses reason and exerts control over the attributes beyond its limits.

Jane had lost her mind, perhaps due to the shock of being imprisoned in the Spirit Prison.

“This water spirit, I’m going to stir up all the water I see!”

And the rushing water spirit started to touch… … It was Lee Hyun-wook himself.

“—Fuck!”

‘Crazy, are you really making the water in your body boil?’

Such fine-grained control over water properties was impossible, even for a water spirit king.

However, the runaway spirit forgets that it can be destroyed and goes beyond the limit.

‘But it takes only a few minutes to get over that limit… … We have to stop the runaway.’

Lee Hyun-wook had stopped the runaway of the spirit colony some time ago. However, it was an unusual achievement after several conditions were met. He didn’t have the strength to stop the spirit king’s daughter right now.

‘In this state, both me and the daughter of the Spirit King will die!’

Lee Hyun-wook produced metal and hung metal rings on Jane’s limbs, pushing them away.

At the same time, the bracelet on the right–Gleipnir bound her body.

‘I don’t know if this will work…’

If Gleipnir, which can block the capture target’s use of skills and abilities, works, the problem is solved.

But… … .

– ‘Gleipnir’ is not applied because the ‘reality’ of the target is not detected.

The spirit’s reality was not in that body, but in a different dimension—the phenomenal world, so it was not eaten.

“Wow—!”

Suddenly, the blood inside Lee Hyun-wook’s body, blood vessels, and blood boiled and leaked out of his skin.

It felt like my heart was squeezing like laundry, and I finally spit out a handful of blood.

Then a nearby water and sewer pipe exploded, and a large amount of water began to seep into the sky.

“—Boss, what’s going on!”

Kim Se-hee’s voice, she glided along the asphalt with the wind.

“Damn, don’t come any closer!”

“Yes?”

“Oh, back off!”

Lee Hyun-wook was able to withstand this bizarre offensive with his strong bones, strength, and mana shield.

In addition, although the attributes are different, Maru, an A-class spirit, was helping the defense as much as possible.

On the other hand, in the case of Kim Se-hee, no matter how many spiritists you are, you will explode and die at once.

However, Lee Hyun-wook prepared one last resort for this moment.

“Chief Kim! Hannah Tate, get that girl, come on!”

Lee Hyun-wook shouted that and pushed Jane to the farther sky.

‘For now, I had no choice but to keep it as far away as possible.’

The greater the distance, the weaker the strength of the ability to apply.

She struggled as she looked down at the ground with her dazed eyes.

“Ugh—I—me—why—”

That good-natured face was distorted, and deep anger began to appear.

It wasn’t hostility that stemmed from bad feelings, but a survival instinct that grew out of despair.

“Do something! It will disappear in a few minutes in that state!”

Lee Hyun-wook now, just because he protects his own life, did not make it.

“—Boss, I brought you!”

Then, Hannah arrived nearby. She was looking up at the sky with a blank face… … As Jane, her best friend, waved her hands, she saw a splash of water everywhere.

“Uh, my, Jane… you, how…”

Jane’s real face she didn’t even know… … It was the power of the daughter of the spirit king.

At that moment, Hyun-wook Lee ran and grabbed Hanna’s arm.

“Hannah, you need to wake Jane up! She’s on a run!”

Hannah could not contain her embarrassment at Lee Hyun-wook’s words. But this cowardly girl is needed now.

“Your help, as I said earlier, I need it now!”

“Yes? I, how do I…”

“Just, before Jane lost her mind, I called out your name!”

“… … Me, my name?”

“Right now, you’re his only recourse!”

This was a lie. But it was true that, for now, only she could calm Jane down.

Hannah Tate, as she became Jane’s only friend, may have triggered the ‘hidden quest’ involving the Elemental King—eventually Jack Hamilton would do the quest, but now it’s her.

‘And if you hold down that trigger, you can stop Jane’s runaway.’

Having experienced this kind of ‘partnership’ type of event a few times, Lee Hyun-wook could be sure.

“I’ll bring you back now, except for Hannah, step back! Hannah, you’ll be fine!”

Lee Hyun-wook pulled Jane, who had been floating several tens of meters into the air, to the floor.

Her body fell from a high-speed fall, and just before it crashed into the asphalt, it stood tall.

“Black—I hate it—everyone—must kill—everyone—”

She was drooling, contorting her pretty face.

Whoa—and—and—and——!

Then, pillars of water bent and fell on the group’s heads from all directions, but Se-hee Kim made a wind barrier and smashed them away. However, it seemed quite difficult to see if there was a difference in ‘class’.

“Ugh! Honey, Joe, hold on a bit—!”

Even Hani was screaming inaudible and doing her best. But it seemed to go away soon.

As the wind and water crush each other, the area is filled with fine water particles, making breathing difficult.

“Damn— Hannah, I don’t have time!”

Hannah hesitated to approach Lee Hyun-wook’s cry, and ran forward as if she had made up her mind.

Then I took off my robe and wrapped it around Jane’s naked body and hugged her.

“Jane… it’s me! Come on, I’m here to save you!”

At that moment, the plume of water swayed loudly. There was an immediate response.

“Jane, it’s me, Hannah!”

“I’m sorry I didn’t do anything when you were kidnapped…”

With tears in her eyes, she hugged my friend tighter.

At that moment, the pillars of water lowered its height… … .

“uh-”

The whole area turned into a sea of ​​water as it poured down to the floor.

And finally, a voice of reason came out of Jane’s mouth.

“… … Hannah— my friend, did you save me?”

Lee Hyun-wook breathed a sigh of relief and then bled once more.

“Ha— I almost died this time…”

He took out a health recovery potion and drank it.

But at that moment, one side of his face was dyed blue.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah–!

A powerful beam of light was rising in the far western sky near Lake Chad.

At first glance, it was unusual and an ominous sign, so everyone flinched.

“Hey… hey, what else is that?”

Kim Se-hee, completely wet with water, was nervous as she brushed her hair.

“Probably, the Spirit King… came personally.”

Hearing my daughter’s scream, the water spirit king ran out of the spirit realm.

Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah–!

Then he collected all the water in Lake Chad and raised a huge column of water.

Its size was twice as high as the horse tower, so it cast a long shadow in the city center of Yggdrasil.

“If it’s a column of water like that… won’t it plow up the city?”

“Well, Donald Harris, he’s not going to stand still.”

Unsurprisingly, a blue whirlwind began to rise from the other side.

Whoo-woo-woo-woo—!

World Tree Administrator, Donald Harris, responded.

“Wow… the city is going to be half blown anyway?”

At the moment when those two tornadoes collide, the roots of Yggdrasil might be heard in its power.

And just as the villain had planned, the battle between the king of spirits and the manager of the world tree begins.

‘If these two old men really start an emotional fight, nothing can stop them.’

This will cause great damage to Yggdrasil, and it will become the food of the Dark Elf Legion’s invasion.

“Before that happens, we, no, that girl has to stop it.”

Hyun-wook Lee walked towards Jane and Hannah, two women.

“I’m sorry for the person who just woke up… can you stop your father?”

Jack and Hannah, who were both looking dazed at those words, took a deep breath and looked at Jane.

“Oh, you’re your father? Jane, is your father here?”

Jane nodded as she gazed at the towering water column in the western sky.

“If you don’t go quickly, your father will have a fight with the World Tree Administrator.”

Then Jane staggered and stood up. Then he looked at Lee Hyun-wook.

“By the way… who are you and do you know that?”

“Um? Jane, wasn’t your father sent?”

When Jack asked, Jane shook her head resolutely without thinking.

“No, I’m not a stranger to it. And I’m not the one sent by my father.”

In the first place, if the King of Spirits was to be sent, it would have to be a spirit, but Lee Hyun-wook was a human.

Jack stopped in front of Jane and squeaked.

“What! You tricked us? Da, who the hell are you?”

It is true that they saved them, but if their identity is unknown, they should be wary.

In this lawless slum, it was an understandable reaction, as there was hardly any goodwill without cause.

“I-”

Lee Hyun-wook opened his mouth, but did not answer.

This time, something soared right in front of him.

“Oh man, it’s really different…”

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga–!

Hive, digging through the ruins of the building, something green began to rise into the sky.

Those were bunches of green vines… … Each one was thick enough to feel like an Imoogi.

Perhaps just before the building collapsed, the spiritists of the Dark Elf Forest seemed to have sown a lot of seeds.

‘That’s a plant weapon called Green Wave.’

As if to prove its name, green vines rose like waves and collapsed surrounding buildings.

“Ahhh—”

“Come on, run away!”

The residents of the slum, who were watching this situation, hurriedly began to run away.

Lee Hyun-wook put a metal belt around everyone in the party, and then threw them into the sky.

Qu-de-de-de-de–!

At that moment, Green Wave destroyed the place where the party was, and ate the surrounding buildings.

In just ten seconds, it soared to a height of several hundred meters and encroached on a radius of 1 to 2 km.

“Damn, if this continues, everyone in Ruthlett Town will die! Fuck…”

Jack screamed. It’s an unbelievably rough neighborhood, but it was also the place where he had everything.

“Uh, what should I do? These people need to be saved! Tea, there are a lot of good people!”

With those words, Hyun-wook Lee pulled his body and brought him right in front of him.

“Jack, you’re out of your mind here and take Jane near Lake Chad.”

“Yes? What is that……”

“I’m going to save you here, so you’re telling me to take care of Jane.”

“uh…….”

“Doesn’t that mean that you won’t believe me just because you didn’t tell me who I am?”

Lee Hyun-wook said so and nodded behind Jack’s back.

“And then, ride that one.”

woo woo woo–

From there, something huge was flying.

Jack turned his head to confirm its identity.

“Huh— that’s… … .”

that… … Today’s most famous airship was the flagship of the Steel Fleet, the Friedwen.

“Then all, you…”

It was then that Jack realized the identity of the sense of déjà vu he had been feeling.

The silver arrows that soared from that man’s waist… … .

And the power of metal control, by no means common… … .

“Steelane…”

Lee Hyun-wook took off the mask, and Jack’s eyes grew even bigger.

“… … Gee, are you real?”

A man who has been one of the pillars of humankind by fending off numerous disasters has come here.

Then, an AD-2 came out of Lee Hyun-wook’s wrist.

From there, four giant swords, Mowglay, were summoned and lined up in the air.

“Come on, let’s go. Weeding will be finished when you come back.”
