Steel-Eating Player - Chapter 151
Episode 151 [ Paldal Mountain, Secret of the Dragon Labyrinth – 5 ]
————————————
Wearing black armor The guardian of the 6m giant dragon Lair raised a 4m long sword.
Seo Eun-ha, standing in front of him, looked so small that it reminded me of the fight between David and Goliath.
When he holds the giant sword with both hands and swings it, the air in its orbit explodes like a liquid.
Immediately afterwards, the tip of the large sword hit the ground, causing an impact that shook the earth.
Kwa—ang——!
The goal was, of course, sad. She threw herself and escaped death by just one inch.
“Uh-huh—”
Then he struck the giant sword diagonally, and she dodged it by leaning back.
king!
The tip of the giant sword scratched her helmet. Even if the angle was a little low, the neck flew off.
“Huh…”
The silence of those watching couldn’t help but turn cold. How many times has this narrow avoidance been done already?
“…This looks too dangerous?”
Kim Se-hee clenched her fists and muttered that. The hat on her shoulder also spun around as if she was anxious.
I wanted to run in right now and fight together, but… I couldn’t.
bang–!
“That attack… will my sister be able to withstand it if I allow it?”
“Well, if you hit it right, it could kill you instantly.”
Lee Hyun-wook said those terrible words very calmly.
“Huh? Then what should I do?”
“Of course you should avoid that.”
Lee Hyun-wook said such obvious and irresponsible words so easily that Kim Se-hee frowned.
“Don’t look at me like that. The basics of boss raids are that they don’t fit the ‘main weapon.’”
That huge sword is an attack that is symmetrical to the black dragon Aji Dahaka’s ‘Dragon Breath’. To put it simply, attempting to defend itself is an act of suicide, so that attack must be ‘evaded’ at all costs. “…
We “Can’t I help you just a little bit?”
“Yes, no matter what happens, you must never get involved.”
If the 1-on-1 match is canceled, you will fail to verify your qualifications and will not be able to take the ‘Dragon’s Egg’ in that box. In other words, all they could do was pray that Seo Eun-ha would overcome.
bang–!
The barrage of giant swords continued, and before we knew it, the marble floor was completely crushed and turned into a rugged rock mountain.
bang-!
After 10 minutes, she was only busy avoiding attacks and could not even make a single counterattack.
“Ha—I don’t see any signs of a twist.”
“If we keep going like this, we’ll end up allowing an attack someday…”
Pessimistic voices came from all over the place. They glanced at Lee Hyun-wook. They were hoping that he would reconsider his decision before a terrible disaster occurred. An all-out offensive would be needed right now. But
Lee Hyun-wook slowly shook his head.
“No, we are not being pushed back yet.”
“…yes?”
“It’s just that we are fully aware of it.”
Lee Hyun-wook knew Seo Eun-ha better than anyone else. To be precise, he knew the future Seo Eun-ha well. Although
she may not be as good now as she did back then, she was still a tank player with the greatest talent.
‘Seo Eun-ha blocks the attacks of enemies targeting me and prevents infiltration. I was the best guardian.’
She was a very strong core defender, like the center back position in soccer, and
not only blocked the enemy’s attack with her body, but also blocked the enemy’s attack strategy.
In order to properly play such a role, she had many requirements in addition to defense ability. ‘…analyzes enemy attack patterns, detects variables within them, and controls the overall flow.
‘
The first thing to do when attacking a boss monster for which you have no information is to strengthen your defense.
By enduring it based on a thorough defense, you learn the boss monster’s attack pattern.
You must spend a considerable amount of time analyzing it thoroughly before you can attack it. You can find ‘gaps’ to feed in.
“The pattern analysis will soon be completed and the attack will begin from then on.”
Lee Hyun-wook spoke as if he were confident, but the others still could not hide their uneasiness.
‘Well, that woman isn’t you…’
Almost everyone in the room thought that way. Until now, whenever Hyunwook Lee expressed confidence, it was always the starting point of victory. But that’s because Lee Hyun-wook was unique.
Seo Eun-ha… in their eyes, was an outstanding but not overwhelming person.
If he were truly a good person, there would be no way he would have been the leader of the AMT strategy team until now….
Isn’t it because Lee Hyun-wook is so good that he mistakenly thinks that others can do the same?
Seo Eun-ha’s body stumbled at the point where many people doubted Lee Hyun-wook’s judgment.
“uh?”
He had tripped somewhere on the ground, which had been turned over and over by repeated battles.
At that moment, a black hole opened in the palm of his right hand, and something came out?
Shhh! Shhh!
Small steel poisonous needles flew over his head. As the rain poured down, Seo Eun-ha raised her left hand – Achilles’ shield – to block it. But at the same time, a stabbing attack from the great sword flew in. However, one of her eyes was shining
above the shield. It seemed as if she had already read the timing.
‘Yes, I have already been attacked by a large sword several times and the analysis has already been completed up to that point.’
She pulled out her back foot and rotated her body once, and the large sword narrowly scraped past the shield.
Kagagaga——!
She dug straight into the advancing guy. Now it was time to analyze the close-quarters situation.
“This is so pathetic .” “It’s like a human…”
At that moment, everyone noticed that the bastard had raised his front paw, and astonishment erupted from everywhere.
Hung——
The bastard’s right foot was stretched out like a bumper. Seo Eun-ha rolled to the other side and was kicked. He didn’t. He then approached a few more times, and each time he did so, he attacked with a kick as if trying to push him away. It was probably a confirmation of the reaction he had when digging deep into the creature. “It’s no use—” Meanwhile, at that
point
. Lee Hyun-wook confirmed that Seo Eun-ha’s expression had changed strangely.
A slightly raised smile, slightly more frowned eyebrows, and sharper eyes…
‘So, is the scan finally finished?’
At that time, she kicked the floor and ran forward, throwing Mjolnir in her right hand towards the guy’s head. The guy held the large sword with both hands and swung it wide, easily knocking Mjolnir away. In the meantime, Seo Eun
– ha
He succeeded in digging into the man’s lower body without any restraint.
‘It is actually a very basic theory that the gap in the lower body of a giant wielding such a large sword is the lower body.’
In that case, the key to the strategy is to figure out how to defend the lower body.
She dug into the guy’s body several times and found out that the only way to do so was to kick.
And at least the moment she swings that heavy sword. That kick had no choice but to be sealed.
‘Because the center of gravity moves to the tip of the sword, you will lose your balance the moment you lift your foot…’
Seo Eun-ha figured out that point, guided the sword strike, and then struck quickly.
She had an innate sense to recognize and exploit such minor limitations. She hit the guy’s back foot with the
shield and
his body staggered.
But then he tried a completely different attack pattern. “Something like a bug—”
He boldly let go of the large sword and swung his bare fist at Seo Eun-ha.
“
No—!”
That was an unexpected blow. And when he gave up the massive sword, his movements were faster than expected. The mace-like fist hit right at Seo Eun-ha, who was rolling on the floor and trying to avoid it.
Tong——
“…Huh?”
But doesn’t it sound a bit harsh to call it a fatal blow?
That’s……
‘…the blessing of the River Styx is invincible.’
Seo Eun-ha had already taken out the ‘Spear of Achilles’ that was on her back, and a
strange white air current had wrapped around her body like a belt.
‘Invincible for only 30 seconds. But we couldn’t attack during that time.’
But right at that point, an important decision had to be made.
Will you use up these 30 seconds of invincibility to catch your breath?
Or will he take advantage of this moment to launch a counterattack?
‘If you fall into the comfort of being invincible and choose the former, the situation will ultimately end up at square one.’
Her choice was the latter. The distance was immediately narrowed.
And
he succeeded in driving the spear of Achilles into the guy’s jaw.
“Huh—do you think you can prove your qualifications with an attack like this?”
Of course, the damage was not enough to kill a level 115 boss monster.
“That thought will soon change.”
She said that and raised her right hand.
Then,
a white chain made of light was created from the floor and bound the man’s arms. It
was the same skill that the saint had used to restrain the banshee before, but at a much lower level. .
“It’s just this—”
Zeng!
The guy easily broke the chain, but in that moment, Seo Eunha was able to cast the next skill.
“Holy Light—!”
Intense white light burst from her right hand and splashed into the bastard’s face.
Because it was essentially a draugr, or undead, it was quite vulnerable to holy attacks.
“Tsk—”
The guy took a step back, covering his eyes with his left hand. Seo Eun-ha did not miss that moment.
She activated Mjolnir’s ‘returning’ function, and it flew out of nowhere and landed in her hand.
Chin—
and the one temporarily blinded by the holy light could not block her approach.
She swung Mjolnir like an uppercut at the Spear of Achilles in the man’s jaw.
Ka—ang——!
Then, he succeeded in driving the spear dozens of centimeters deeper, like driving a nail with a hammer.
“Kaaaa——!”
That was a pretty fatal blow, and the guy stumbled and fell backwards.
‘Okay, from now on, Seo Eun-ha’s one-sided attack is possible.’
She drew all her mana and created a white sword about 3 meters long in the air.
“…It is a heavenly sword.”
It is one of the best attack skills that a Paladin can use, and when used by several people together, it can be made much larger. Enhancement was also shown by the Wight Tree Guard during the battle with the Necromancer. Although it was smaller than that, it was large enough to dismantle a neutralized opponent
. It was a sashimi knife.
Seo Eun-ha mercilessly swung the ‘Sword of Heaven’ at the Dragon Lair guardian who had fallen backwards. When
the 3m sacred blade struck, even a giant was mortally wounded.
Puck——! Puck——! Puck— —! Plop——!
With a bloody sound, the creature’s body began to be cut into pieces.
Puck——! Puck——! Puck——! Puck——!
Soon, she used up all her mana and the Heavenly Sword The moment it evaporates….
“You are qualified….”
The Guardian of the Dragon Lair began to oxidize without leaving those words.
“Huh…”
Meanwhile, the Hope Guild members looked at Hyunwook Lee. Everyone’s mouths were open except for:
“Wow—they really took it down in one go when the analysis was over…”
“That’s amazing, but the boss also expected that…”
They felt a new sense of awe and met Lee Hyun-wook. I looked at Seo Eunha in turn.
In the future, it was possible to predict that Hope Guild’s power, Hyunwook Lee, would become even stronger.
At that time, the ‘Sword of Unknown Power’ that had been placed on the floor began to glow.
“…….”
Seo Eun-ha made a blank expression for a moment, then walked towards the sword and carefully pulled it out.
– congratulations! By proving your qualifications, the power of the ‘Sword with Unknown Power’ will be unlocked.
[Item Information]
– Name: Dragon Knight’s Sword (Legendary)
– Effect
1) Dragon Power: All abilities are improved (+30%) and a superior ‘mental barrier’ is formed.
2) Assimilation: As the ‘dragon’ connected to you grows, your abilities also increase.
* Since there is no ‘Dragon’ connected yet, the skill is disabled.
She looked at Lee Hyun-wook while holding the sword and breathing heavily.
“Ha… it’s done now, right?”
“Yes it was absolutely perfect.”
In fact, it wasn’t that Lee Hyun-wook wasn’t worried. Seo Eun-ha, not him, was capable of doing it well, but Seo Eun-ha at this moment was probably not yet complete.
‘But you were much more talented than I thought…’
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive until the last moment of my previous life.
“But I hear a noise coming from that box…”
Seo Eun-ha said and pointed to the huge box on the stairs in front.
As he got closer, Hyunwook Lee could feel the sound.
Thump—thump—
it was a heartbeat. She looked at Lee Hyeon-wook with a somewhat nervous face and opened the box.
Woowoowoo——
Inside the box was a red cloth, and on top of it was a huge blue egg.
“…….”
She looked down at the egg with a somewhat burdened face. As Lee Hyun-wook said earlier, a baby dragon would be born inside this. And Seo Eun-ha had to take responsibility for raising him.
“Ha… I feel like my life is suddenly going awry?”
“Do not worry. “I will provide good support.”
“Yes, keep in mind that you are responsible for this as well.”
Lee Hyun-wook smiled and nodded,
“Huh… If this is the case, is it true that we succeeded in conquering the labyrinth?”
Jeongjun Lee asked, smiling with relief on his face.
But…
“…it’s not over yet.”
Hyunwook Lee said that and headed towards one wall.
“Why? What’s there?”
Lee Hyun-wook nodded, but to others, it was just a plain wall with nothing in it.
“Well, I can’t see anything… right?”
Hyeonuk Lee I couldn’t find anything unusual on that large wall with the naked eye.
He eventually demonstrated ‘clairvoyance’, one of the Insight Lens skills.
– Clairvoyance is activated and your eyesight increases significantly. (+400%)
Then I felt my vision become very clear and soon I noticed a very small flaw in the wall.
‘Um, is it like a keyhole?’
But I don’t remember finding a key that fits that hole.
‘I think I can tear down this wall…’
However, there was no ‘defensive magic’ on the wall.
In other words, there seemed to be no strict conditions for admission.
Well, it would be difficult to even find the hidden place…
‘Then…’
Lee Hyun-wook hardened the index finger, sculpted it into an elongated shape, and placed it in the groove.
Then, the end was ‘fused’ and solidified again according to the shape of the inside of the hole.
Clunk—
I soon heard the sound of something clicking inside the wall. He turned his finger like that…
and
the wall split in half and a staircase leading down deeper into the basement appeared.
“Uh…is it really a hidden stage?”
It was a special space that was very rarely found even within the Hidden Stage Dungeon.
“It looks like you will find an unexpected treasure.”
***
As I went down the underground stairs of Hidden Stages, a huge pupil appeared.
– You have entered the hidden stage ‘Emperor’s Secret Space: Dragon’s Tomb’!
As
I went down the stairs and stepped on the floor, a blue flame spontaneously bloomed in the distance.
“Is there some kind of automatic sensor?”
But at that moment, everyone was scared and had no choice but to step back.
The reason was…
“…it’s a dragon!”
This is because a dragon that resembled Aji Dahaka, the Black Dragon, was crouching in the blue light,
and Lee Hyeon-wook, with his clairvoyance activated, could see a sword stuck on its back.
