Steel eating player chapter 166

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

The harbinger of the end… … From when on, the world was spinning and the story of destruction was approaching.

This was not a rumor floating around the world, but a story with credibility claimed by those who are known as player experts in the influential media.

– … … The worst crisis in the game has come. Maybe our story will end with the so-called bad ending. How many big events have happened in the last few years? This should be seen as a flow, not an individual event.

On one TV screen, five or six famous players were talking to each other with one MC in between.

– I agree with Dr. Donner. The catastrophe has been going on since Wave 4 and will become more frequent in the future. In my opinion, all countries and guilds should work on a bipartisan basis. Now, aside from such a principled story, such as the need to reveal the identity of this game, we have to survive for now.

– Yes, in order to do that, I think Yggdrasil or Laputa very powerful objects should not be monopolized by one or two people, but should be shared with the international player community. So… … .

Since the world has turned into a game, various catastrophes have come.

However, there were few cases in which the explosions occurred one day after another, as it is today.

‘Yeah, I was a bit embarrassed when Aji Tahaka appeared too early… … .’

Hyunwook Lee was now sitting at Yggdrasil Airport, disguised as a Latino man through the Dark Elf’s ‘Polymorph’ magic.

People gathered in front of the large TV installed in the front, departure hall.

“Damn, what is the world going to be like…?”

“That’s right. Oh, I wonder if the real end is coming.”

The US news broadcast that is currently airing was warning of a global crisis by showing the big events that happened recently… … Hyunwook Lee appeared in most of those scenes.

Probably because seven out of ten cases were resolved by Lee Hyun-wook.

‘It must be because of me, to some extent, that the big events like now occur one after another… … .’

But it was never his fault.

After all, it was a catastrophe that would come one day, but it was only hastened because the previous disasters were so well averted.

‘And I have to stop the disasters that will come in the future.’

That was the goal I had from the moment I returned, and now it is the finish line that has come into sight to some extent.

Then, an airport broadcast came on.

– We would like to inform all passengers who are taking flight AC1443 at 10:30 to Rome, Italy. Currently, a super-sized monster has appeared in the southern part of Umbria, a region near Rome, and the evacuation warning has been issued for residents. Please be careful while traveling.

At the broadcast, nearby passengers began to murmur.

“That, that’s it. Those armored giants.”

“Ah, the titan skirmishers, are they?”

“Yeah, that’s right. What is that, is it coming out of nowhere? I heard that three A-class players died in France yesterday as well.”

As such, the biggest issue at the moment was undoubtedly .

The members of the ‘Guardian’, led by Korea’s No. 1 gravity wizard, Lee Seong-yoon, secretly tried to block Titanomachia in advance, but in the end, they failed.

Thus, scenes of giant monsters appearing all over the world, especially in Europe, breaking down buildings and ripping through roads were occurring one after another.

In the midst of this atrocities, another bad news has been spread around the world.

– Caught a large group of monsters in the Berlin erosion area ‘Green Hell’… … EU Gate Investigation Bureau, “Like the Black Orc Kingdom, it is estimated that it is a group of ‘state system’ monsters with intelligence (1 report)

As the Dark Elf Kingdom, which had been shrouded in veil so far, began to blatantly tremble, all of Europe had no choice but to enter a state of emergency.

‘It’s like being hit by the commonly-speaking upside down.’

Even in ‘Green Hell’, a so-called ‘Titan Gate’ was occurring… … Last night, Team Leader Lee Kyo-jun delivered the intelligence that the Titan Skirts who appeared there were caught making contact with the Dark Elves.

Based on that information, it could be interpreted that the titans and the dark elves had started a collusion.

‘Titans, they like to be worshiped, so they were used by intelligent monsters or some player factions.’

Anyway, there is no need to think about the matchmaking between the two, it must be a villain force… … .

‘I can roughly understand what those children mean.’

Lee Hyun-wook has defeated all their schemes so far, but this time he was trying to gather a powerful force that could never be stopped.

‘Green Hell, in that terrible land, you can safely raise your army… … .’

What if, based on the alliance between the titan army and the dark elf army, they form an “anti-human front” in which demon worshipers and red players join together… … There was going to be a great war that could not be stopped by just one player’s performance.

‘and… … I heard that King Stonox, the Black Orc King, has recently gone missing.’

A week ago, the Chinese government had raided the Shanghai Black Orc Kingdom.

Earlier, they attacked the Republic of Korea and suffered heavy damage and weakened, so the Chinese government did not miss this time and set out to restore Shanghai.

However, it was the official announcement of the Chinese government that Stonox could not be found there.

‘Perhaps he also moved to join that front line. There’s no way the villain can let such a powerful power go… … .’

Such ominous news continued with tails and tails, and at this rate, it would be unavoidable that Europe would be devastated.

– —Blue Sky Airlines will tell you about boarding information.

Blue Sky was the airline of the plane that Lee Hyun-wook had to board.

– … … Passengers using flight AC1443 bound for Rome, Italy, departing at 10:30, please proceed to Gate 4

He got up from his seat and shook his head.

Two black men were sitting in the lobby chair, about two spaces behind them. They also looked at Lee Hyun-wook and slowly got up from their seats.

“But… they don’t really do anything else and follow along, right? They still think of them as monsters, so it’s a bit annoying.”

A Latino woman with glasses sitting next to Lee Hyun-wook said.

She was none other than Kim Se-hee, but she was still under the dark elf polymorph magic.

And next to him, Park Jun-mo, who looked like a Latino boy, was yawning and packing my luggage.

“I’ve been persuading you step by step over the past few days… Above all else, you don’t want to miss out on this unique opportunity. Even if they are monsters, they have a clear sense of purpose.”

As a result of long conversations with Clipeus Griseo, the second prince of the Dark Elves for the past three days, Hyunwook Lee was able to derive a unified sense of purpose.

‘Now occupying the Dark Elf Kingdom. Killing the generals’ forces…’

If that were the case, the Dark Elf Kingdom would rather become a powerful army to fight for Lee Hyun-wook.

‘In this way, once again, they completely ruin the grand scheme of things.’

And Rome, Italy was the first destination in the plan to retake the Dark Elf Kingdom.

‘There, there is only one way to secretly infiltrate the Dark Elf Realm.’

Berlin’s erosion zone, Green Hell, was a rainforest covered with all kinds of cannibals, as its dreaded nickname, breaking through it was more difficult than walking across the Amazon.

That was the reason why the identity of the Dark Elf Kingdom could not be revealed for a very long time… … .

‘and… … The man-eating plants under the power of the forest animist even act as alarms, making it virtually impossible to sneak in.’

However, according to the words of the 2nd Prince, there was a portal in Rome, Italy, that went directly to the Dark Elf Kingdom.

It is a so-called ‘inlet port’, and such places have been set up all over the world, and they are in the process of penetrating all aspects of human society.

In other words, it meant that many spies were being planted, which Lee Hyun-wook did not know.

‘Hey, if it’s polymorph magic like this, it’s only natural that it won’t go unnoticed……’

I’ve heard that dark elves are capable of polymorph magic in previous lives, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.

Lee Hyun-wook fiddled with my face and handed the fake passport to the immigration officer.

His current status was Marco Germano, a 34-year-old Italian man.

“Um… Marco Germano, you are going home.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The immigration officer wiggled his eyebrows and flipped through the fake passports.

“Then, I hope you have a comfortable trip.”

empty one

It was a perfect disguise to be able to get the departure stamp without such difficulty.

Then I stood in front of the security checkpoint, where there were a bunch of armed airport guards.

– Player (LV: 43)

– Player (LV: 49)

Apparently, the body itself had to check the player as a weapon, so the level of the staff at the airport had to be quite high.

“Okay, we will keep your items safely until you arrive in Rome. Before that, we will make sure that the ‘chains of restraint’ are properly loaded on the items to be deposited, so please put all items on the search bar.”

Lee Hyun-wook placed an iron sword on the search table. Of course, it wasn’t his main weapon.

But it was sold out with some purple chain.

[Item information]

– Name: Level 3 Ability Restraint Chain (Special)

– Effect: When mana is given, 1 item is ‘sealed’. (In order to unlock it, you need a ‘private key’.)

It was an item that could seal the effect of the item as described.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to forcibly cut it off, but it could be seen as the minimum device for safe flight.

But frankly, this did not mean that the body itself was not incapacitating the player, so player-only aircraft were, in many ways, considered the most dangerous means of transport that could fall due to a single passenger’s riot.

But as soon as I passed through the security checkpoint, I heard a commotion from the front.

“No, fuck— does this make sense!”

A woman was yelling at the airport staff, and the passengers standing around were also protesting with sharp voices.

“… … ha, what now? No, where is this notice right before boarding!”

The airline employee, who appeared to have a fairly high position, repeatedly bowed his head.

“No, no matter what the circumstances, you have to tell me this in advance, aren’t you going to cancel this flight and book another one? We’re all busy people, so how do we treat you like this?”

As I listened closely and listened to it, it seemed that the plane was carrying an unexpected guest… … The problem was that the customer was the ‘Red Player’.

“It’s crazy… what airline is going to evacuate prisoners on passenger planes?”

“… … Sin, sorry!”

“Is this, does it make sense? This is really an international topic! I’ll report it to the media as soon as I get off, so do it yourself!”

Such a violent reaction of rejection was natural.

No matter how suppressed, staying in the sky tens of thousands of feet with the Red Player, whose body itself is a weapon of murder… … It was a terrible experience that no one would want to go through.

However, not all passengers were willing to use other aircraft.

They were all players, even if they protested, because they had considerable immunity to fear.

“… … What, what’s going on?”

Kim Se-hee, who passed the security checkpoint following Lee Hyun-wook, asked with a puzzled expression.

“Perhaps we have a RED player on our plane.”

“… … Oh, is that okay?”

Kim Se-hee also made an absurd expression on her face.

“Well, of course you shouldn’t, but there are always exceptions. Maybe there’s a good reason for this nonsense to happen.”

After a while, an airline employee approached Lee Hyun-wook and his party and started explaining the situation.

“… … We’re sorry, but due to unavoidable circumstances, our aircraft has been assigned to escort prisoners. So, we will refund 50% of the ticket price and we can book another flight if you wish.”

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

“And… you don’t have to worry about safety issues. A whopping eight high-level player convoys will be on board.”

***

After a while, when the party sat in business class, the economy class side at the back became noisy.

“Ha… Really, I don’t want to be unlucky…”

“Get out of here, you criminal bastards!”

When I turned my head and looked there, three red players appeared, escorted by fully armed players, all with their heads bowed and their faces not exposed.

When Lee Hyun-wook looked through the Insight Lens, the previous two men were on the 43 level and 24 levels, respectively, which was not very high.

However… … .

‘What is that woman… … .’

The last little girl who came in was the problem.

Knock-knock-

The woman sat at the very end, wearing a lot of restraints, and immediately began to doze off.

– Player (LV: 81)

It’s level 81… … .

The four prison convoys sitting on either side were at most level 41-59.

Of course, since all measures have been taken, there is virtually no chance that the prisoner will escape… … .

‘I think I know who that woman is.’

The woman’s face I saw at first glance… … It was quite familiar to Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes.

‘aka rabies, rabies in Korean… … .’

As her nickname suggests, she, who has the characteristics of a zealot among the warriors, would have been a special agent in the Italian government until recently.

However, at a secret meeting of prominent Italian government officials, a shocking act of slaughtering them and disappearing was carried out… … . Future investigations will reveal that she is a spy planted by the Italian player mafia organization ‘Nuovo Ordine’.

Judging by the current situation, it seems that he was recently caught in the Republic of Chad and being escorted to Italy.

‘However, if I remember that woman, that woman will find her freedom again and commit numerous terrorist attacks.’

Even… … Escape by hijacking the plane.

‘Ha- Was it this time? Damn, such an unfortunate coincidence… … .’

No matter how good a memory Lee Hyun-wook was, he could not remember such a private incident.

‘Then you can understand why this plane suddenly escorted prisoners… … .’

The private plane that the Italian government was supposed to send to escort her must have been unable to depart due to the mafia’s operation.

As the delay continued in that way, it could be presumed that they eventually opted for a escort to Italy by private aircraft.

‘In Italy today, the mafia force is strongest since the mid-20th century.’

As in other countries, as the government’s public power gradually weakened, a mafia organization disguised as a guild grew in power.

‘By the way, this is going to bother me a lot… … .’

Lee Hyun-wook sighed involuntarily.

In fact, the easiest way to get to Italy was to borrow the power of Yggdrasil and open the ultra-long-range portal ‘Wight Hall’.

However, if you open it up to the sky, the possibility of being noticed by someone is very high, so he was going to ride the sky road with a disguised identity like this.

‘In that case, there is a high chance that your identity will be revealed… … .’

Soon, take-off started with in-flight broadcasting, and seat belts appeared.

Hyeonwook Lee closed his eyes and stretched his senses toward the economy class.

And hacked the mana messenger of one of the convoys, and overheard the sound of it.

– Hey, bitch, are you sleeping?

It was the voice of one of the eight convoys sitting in the back seat.

– Knock-knuckle The thought of escaping makes her small chest flutter, so she can’t fall asleep, right?

– Marvin, if you don’t shut up, the moment you release this restraint, I will kill you first.

This sharp voice was Ravis.

– Do you think the restraints will come loose? ……Uh-huh- Don’t stare at me like that, look at it that way… … You really don’t want to let go, do you?

At that point, Hyunwook Lee tilted his head.

‘Wait a minute… … I really don’t want to let go… … It means you’re going to release me.’

It was obvious what context the conversation was coming from.

Even those convoys were bought from the black money of the mafia.

‘then… … I didn’t get a civilian aircraft in a hurry to avoid the Mafia’s operation, but I got here on purpose to secure hostages in the process of escaping.’

– Hey, you know what?

– … … 귀찮게 하지 좀 말지, 이 씹새끼야.

– No, listen. We’ve got a nice gift for you in the cargo hold over there. Yes? It’s a cone hat for our cute twins, you know what I’m talking about?

– no way… … .

– Yeah, the one you used when you slaughtered all the government pigs… … Dude, Kunee, you foolishly dropped that on your way out of Italy, right?

Kunee, a legendary-grade helmet known as the helmet of Hades in Greek mythology……

When you use it, it becomes invisible, and the lasting effect is up to 15 minutes.

– … … how did you get it

– Did I bring it? Your boss must have given the head of your organization a bit too much money, huh?

At this point, Hyunwook Lee changed his mind.

‘You did a good job booking this flight… … .’
