Steel-Eating Player - Chapter 181

Episode 181 [Rebellion, Counterattack – 2]

————————

The moment a large sword appeared in Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand, the air in the area was pushed out and a gust of wind blew into the crypt. woke up.

“uh?”

“…what?”

However, the dark elf guards were unable to react quickly. They just looked embarrassed as if they were standing in front of an oncoming dump truck. Of course,

that reaction lasted only a second or two, and in the meantime, some of them had already grabbed the hilts of the swords at their waists. . But Lee

Hyun-wook

was faster.

His left hand drew to the right.

At that moment, the large sword was fired.

Burr-butter-butter-butter–!

Immediately after that, with a fluttering sound, 16 guards, including the jail warden, shot out. The fish poured down to the floor.

With a single blow, 16 of them were cut into pieces.

“………”

That was the end.

The warden and the guards who had made them all tremble became mere pieces of meat without any movement. A puddle of blood was drawn on the floor.

After a moment of silence, murmurs of astonishment rang out from all over the place.

“Wow—that’s ridiculous…”

“What did I just see?”

Lee Hyun-wook turned his head and looked at Joachim Volkov. At that time, Moglei slowly approached and stopped behind him. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

‘That sword…’

Joachim Volkov was once ranked 11th in the German player rankings. As a level 69 player who was ranked

up to

I thought he was a rookie.

However, if he owned a legendary weapon, it meant he was not an average player.

‘I might really be able to kill the general.’

He looked at Joachim Volkov and said as if he had overheard his thoughts:

“This is how I will assassinate the general.”

In other words, this scene… was nothing more than a performance to persuade them.

And with just that one scene, the POW leaders, including Joachim Volkov, had no choice but to trust Lee Hyun-wook’s ‘rebellion’ strategy.

***

After a while, Lee Hyun-wook summoned Friedwen from the widest space in the slave quarters and took out all kinds of weapons from the AD-2 that was stored there.

The captive players gathered around watched the process with surprised rabbit eyes.

“That’s an airship, right? But what is that metal box?”

“Wow—there’s endless items coming out of there, right? “Is it really all subspace?”

“Wow, this amount of weapons must be more than what most guilds have…”

Since the technology called ‘magical engineering’ itself was unfamiliar to them, all the items Lee Hyun-wook brought out were just amazing.

Next, Joachim Volkov selected players among the prisoners and supplied them with weapons.

“Now, please come and take it one by one.”

“Can you give me that window over there?”

“Oh, Mr. Oliver, did you originally use a spear?”

“Yes, it was a warrior-type spear-specific ability.”

There were about 300 people in total, and those who had combat experience six years ago were mainly selected.

“Wow—this is much better than the sword I used, right? But this is a manufactured item…” ”

Are manufactured items of this scale mass-produced now? It’s at a level that was unimaginable six years ago…”

That item These were all items of the minimum ‘skilled’ level produced by Kang Jeong-doo’s lab, and as of 6 years ago, even C-grade and tier 1 players had difficulty accessing them.

“Wow, this feeling…”

They looked somewhat moved by the feel of the item they were holding for the first time in 6 years. They were all players who once hunted monsters, so their past courage was revived.

But…

“But was the sword originally this heavy?”

“Ugh! “It feels like my muscles are going to tear!”

All of these people had not seen sunlight for a very long time and had not been eating enough, so their bodies could not have been normal.

At this rate, let alone fighting, even holding a weapon and running could be a burden.

Chin—

“Could you split this evenly?”

At that time, Kim Se-hee took out a box from Freedwen and placed it on the floor.

It was none other than a box of recovery potions.

“75 in total is not a lot, but if you take even a little, your condition will improve much. “Please share one with five people.”

Still, the recovery potion that Lee Hyun-wook carried was of the highest quality, so he could return to normal to some extent by just taking a sip.

It was around the time that about half of them were armed.

“—Hurry up everyone! “The guards are coming!”

As a man ran and shouted, the armed players turned their heads.

“Oh what! Did the guards notice already?”

“Ah, maybe because the warden didn’t come back, extra patrols were sent out! That number is quite high! “We’ll be here soon!”

At that, Joachim Volkoff came forward raising his sword and shield.

“…Now I don’t have to hide.”

Then, behind him, a number of armed players gathered.

They were members of the strategy team of [Löwe], once the best guild in Germany.

“…Finally, it’s been a while since I’ve had a real fight.”

The time has come to bring out the violence that has been suppressed for quite some time.

***

“Everyone get out of the way—!”

A group of dark elf guards ran across the slave quarters and shouted. Then, people coming and going from the crypt were startled and pressed against the wall. They were afraid that if they got caught by the guards, they could be beaten. “

Hey

! Did the guard pass this way?”

The lead guard pulled a man by the collar and asked.

“Uh uh yes! You passed by a little while ago! If something happens…”

“This bastard doesn’t even know the subject, and who is he asking? “Get away from me!”

Sigh!

Violence like this was normal for prisoners.

“Damn, where is the warden and what is he doing? That doesn’t mean he’s going to get into trouble from the slaves…” “

That’s natural, and he’s probably inspecting the Green Wave somewhere because it’s rotten. No, he’ll take care of it, but the deputy warden “Why do you insist on going, kid?”

They entered the slave quarters, grumbling as if they were displeased with their rest being interrupted.

At that time, a group of slaves were seen approaching from inside the crypt.

The guards looked dumbfounded at the sight.

“Huh? “What is that?”

“Wow, are they crazy…”

One of the guards stepped forward and raised the club in his hand.

“Hey! Why are you gathered there? Don’t you know that group action by you slaves means group killing?”

However, the group didn’t care and came rushing in, but the guard looked at the face of the man standing in front of them and sneered. “Hey, Joachim… was that you? I guess you didn’t get whipped last time, you still

? “Playing as leader of the slaves… huh?”

Only then did the guard discover that Joachim Volkov had a sword and a shield in his hands.

“—Where did you get that, you bastard!”

At that moment, Joachim Volkov kicked the floor, red energy surged at his feet, and he forcefully pushed his body forward.

Hung!

It was one of the knight-type rush skills.

P—b———!

In the blink of an eye, the distance of about ten meters narrowed, and like a bull, he struck the two dark elves in front with his shield, sending them flying, and swung his sword indiscriminately at the dark elves standing behind them.

Wow! Wow!

In the blink of an eye, four of them fell. The guards, perhaps surprised by the power of the slaves who had been ignored until now, backed away in confusion.

“You bastards—die—!”

Meanwhile, about a dozen armed players rushed in and slaughtered the remaining guards in an instant.

“Damn it, I need support right now—kkk—”

The dark elf standing at the back stretched out both hands towards the ceiling, summoning a ‘Forest Spirit’.

“Wake up, Green Wave—!”

I started to squirm at the gesture of that guy’s hand, and it seemed as if it would come pouring down at any moment and entangle my entire body.

Here, a single forest elementalist could subdue dozens of players.

But—

babubbburb——

“—Boo!”

As many as six arrows hit various parts of the guy’s body, causing him to fall forward and the elemental magic was not completed. The

two rear archer players cheered and placed their palms together.

“Ha! “How long has this been sincere?”

“But I guessed first!”

It may have been a long time since we last protested, but they were the best players of their time who responded to the catastrophe that was the 3rd wave.

Old senses quickly began to awaken.

“Now, let’s go kill all those little bastards!”

Powered by the anger they had suppressed for as many as six years, they moved forward and killed more than a dozen guards who came running after hearing the commotion.

Meanwhile, the wizard players were gathered at the back.

Leading them was Kim Se-hee.

“Now, please start with the four of you here.”

At her words, four people unleashed flame magic from their hands.

“Ugh, it’s been so long since I used magic, it’s not the same.”

“That’s enough. Now, Hani—”

At her words, Hani created a wind and dragged the flames up to the ceiling.

Huaaaa——

The fire spread through the ‘Green Wave’ vines on the ceiling, and they began to wriggle and become incapacitated.

As a result, the fire plants had to spray water, but it was suppressed by the power of the forest elementalists, including the 2nd prince.

“Okay, everything is as planned.”

That’s how we arrived at the entrance.

And

boom – boom –

the iron golems that Lee Hyun-wook had already made came forward and blocked the entrance, and they were holding plates made of steel.

Thong— thong— thong—

They slammed it into the ground and built an iron wall, which was like a barricade of sorts.

“Now bring it to me!”

Kim Se-hee shouted.

Then several people came running from the rear carrying a huge cylindrical object.

Clap—

it was none other than the magic engineering machine gun ‘Graverpallo.’

[Item information]

– Name: Graverpalo V2 (Advanced)

– Effect

1) Ah. Space magazine: You can ‘shove’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace.

2) Subspace magazine: You can ‘shove’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace.

They were installed on the barricade.

“Over there . — Here they come!”

Soon the remaining guards began to flock in.

“Alright, let’s wipe them out!”

No matter how weak the players were, hextech items performed well just by infusing a little mana.

To—do—do—do—do——!

A total of 14 Graver Palos spewed fire and tore apart a group of dark elves running towards them.

“Oops!”

“evil!”

Those who were lucky enough to avoid the barrage of bullets were startled by the overwhelming firepower and ran away.

“This performs well, right?”

“Wow, this is possible…”

However, the guys who just ran away will bring more troops, and we might not be able to stop them with this level of firepower. “Now, from now on, we have to hold

out here as long as we can!”

Joachim Volkov looked back at the prisoners, and indeed the players, as he shouted,

“Our advance ends here. And from now on…”

He turned forward, holding his shield.

“…I have no choice but to trust that man.”

A huge swarm of insects was swarming from afar.

Why—a—a—a—!

The Green Hell poisonous bugs, the Dark Elf Druids, had released a swarm of man-eating bugs.

“Everyone prepare for battle—!”

***

At that time, Hyunwook Lee left the slave quarters with Argenti Arcum, the second prince’s guardian knight, and moved to an area called ‘Citadel’.

This place could be said to be the royal capital of the Dark Elf Kingdom. As such, expenses were high.

– Dark Elf Elite Knight (LV: 76)

– Dark Elf Elite Forest Hunter (LV: 71)

Such high-level monsters were wandering around here and there, fully armed, and glared at the Dark Elves coming and going with sharp eyes.

As I heard earlier, this was because all royal loyalists had not yet been eliminated.

“…Right over there is the royal castle.”

Argenti Arcum glanced to one side with a bitter expression. Lee Hyun-wook glanced sideways as he walked casually.

There I saw a huge white door.

There is a throne room in there.

“First, move to a place with a clear view and wait.”

Puuuuu——

Soon, something like a trumpet sounded from somewhere, and the guards around the capital began to move.

“—It’s a mutiny!”

“What? Are they remnants of the royal family?”

“No, the slaves rose up!”

“Does that make sense?”

Right now, only the guards are moving, but the scale of the rebellion will be bigger than expected, so even the troops in the throne room will have to be mobilized. About twenty minutes

later….

Kugugugugu——

Finally, the door to the castle opens and a group of people appear. The troops came out.

They formed a line and marched toward the slave quarters. When

they disappeared from sight, Lee Hyun-wook slowly got up from between the thick tree roots.

“Now it’s a properly empty house.”

He wrote ‘Quinee’ and his body disappeared.

***

The Throne Room Hundreds of dark elves were lined up in a vast space with a dark blue glow.

Even though more than half of the slaves had been mobilized in an emergency after a revolt broke out a while ago, the number was still enormous.

And countless green vines were wriggling on the ceiling, resembling a colony of sea anemones.

The only reason they all existed was because of the ‘seat of power’ located in the innermost part of this space, within a quadruple layer of magic shields in a row of gray statues.

And the large dark elf sitting there was the ‘Great General’, the current highest authority of the dark elf race.

Woowoowoo——

He had his eyes closed now, and blue smoke was flowing from the throne and his body, which meant that he was controlling ‘Weingard’.

In other words, the general was currently commanding a war against humans that was taking place in a very distant place.

“…….”

An old dark elf was looking at the place with worried eyes, with his back to him.

“…Right now, General, I don’t have the energy to care about this place. How is the suppression of the Warden rebellion going?”

An answer came from behind me.

“Yes! Corps Commander, I sprayed Green Hell poisonous beetles… but they say they were all killed by the current and wind.”

“What the fuck are they doing? “You can’t even suppress slaves?”

“Still, the 3rd unit of forest spiritists has advanced, so it will be suppressed soon.”

“And did you find out how they were able to rebel and where the weapons came from?”

However, the immediate answer was suddenly cut off, and the dark elf called the corps commander turned around, wriggling his eyebrows.

“I didn’t ask…”

A silver arrow hit his chin, so he had no choice but to close his mouth. A look fell on one side of his gaze. The body of the Jin ‘Watcher’ was visible. And then, out of the darkness in the corner

,

a dark elf walked out.

“Who are you?”

“…Is that the seat of power?”

The unidentified dark elf looked beyond the quadruple defense shield and said,

“Oh, so… you are a human? But that polymorph has the same magic pattern as ours…”

“So that means you know what kind of power that seat of power possesses?”

He didn’t answer.

However, the corps commander smiled leisurely even though the arrowhead was touching the back of his neck.

“And the slave rebellion that just happened was caused by you? Ugh, you managed to sneak in here without being detected, but what kind of wall did you hit?

The unidentified dark elf placed his hand on the magic shield.

“Tsk tsk— For your information. The magic shield is quadruple, and of course it can never be opened outside. “It is absolutely impossible without killing the high-ranking wizards sitting around the throne over there.”

The corps commander who was talking like that snapped his fingers.

Ugh——

At that moment, his body disappeared in the air and appeared about ten meters behind.

Ugh——

Then he snapped his fingers again, and a blue energy flowed out, forming a magic shield and covering his entire body.

“So you wanted to hold me hostage and somehow find a way to open that shield, but what are you going to do with this? You completely failed, right? Hahaha—” “…You’re talking back and forth

.”

“what?”

“I already know everything and have prepared everything.”

He said that and released the polymorph.

A human stood in front of the dark elf army.

“You… Steele Rain? Why are you here… what the fuck are you all doing? “Hurry and catch that guy!”

As he shouted, the Dark Elf troops, who had already drawn their weapons after hearing the commotion, quickly narrowed the siege.

Kududeudud——

Before I knew it, green waves were flowing down from the ceiling.

“Okay, come a little closer…”

Lee Hyun-wook said and spread his hands.

At that time, AD-2s were summoned from both of Lee Hyun-wook’s wrists, and they each spit out a large sword.

‘To the left, Mogley, to the right, Levatein…’

Lee Hyun-wook moved Levatene first, or rather, ‘the sword that regained its heat.’

‘It contains hellfire.’

Not long ago, when I was struck by a hellfire magic scroll in Dresden, I absorbed all the hellfire with this great sword.

Since then, heat was released once, but a large amount of hellfire was still accumulated…

‘Magma Sword—’

The thick sword body became red-hot, first releasing heat, and then flames bursting out.

Pooh—woo—woo—woo——!

Like a giant phoenix spreading its wings, the flames soared out in the shape of a cross, engulfing not only the dark elf troops that were rushing towards Lee Hyun-wook but also the green wave that was spreading from the ceiling.

“Quaaaa—”

“Oh, hurry and bring water!”

Soon, the forest elementalists brought down plants holding water from the ceiling, but there was no way they could extinguish Hellfire with ordinary water.

And that wasn’t the end.

‘Now is the time.’

Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand held Mogley’s hilt.

Woowoowoo——

At that moment, the mana from the entire area began to be sucked into the tip of the guy’s Moglay sword.

‘Mana Explosive Sword—Space Cutter—’

The first powerful mana tyranny exploded.

And as the hellfire that erupted earlier was pushed back once more, it became a much more powerful firestorm and wiped out the dark elf army.

The moment they crouched down, created a magic shield, and focused solely on blocking the flames—the ‘Space Cutter’ that had been hiding in the firestorm rushed out, cutting through space.

C’mon—c’mon—c’mon—c’mon!”

It was an incredibly powerful firepower that could cut over a hundred dark elves in half with a single blow.

Even the corps commander, who was watching the scene, stuck his tongue out.

It was a truly shocking and devastating scene for a single human to wipe out the best elite troops in the deepest part of the Dark Elf Kingdom.

“…Are you sure you were aiming for this and waiting for my soldiers to get closer?”

“But no matter what, this is our heartland. No matter how strong the fire is, it will eventually be extinguished and you will be swept away by the green wave while trying to break that quadruple magic shield— Wow! What is this…?”

He touched the back of his neck with a blank expression.

There was a silver arrow, Palenote.

“How can I protect my magic shield…”

It ignored the magic shield and got stuck in the guy’s neck.

“I told you so.”

“Big…”

“I knew everything and prepared everything.”

The reason why that single arrow was rated ‘Heroic’ was because it ignored all magic resistance and even magic shields and hit the target without fail.

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the guy and gestured, and Palenote completely cut off his head and soared into the air.

Then, his finger pointed towards the throne

, and

two Palenotes were fired through the four layers of magic defense like water.

‘But this Pale Note cannot instantly kill the general.’

However, it was different for high-ranking wizards who maintained a quadruple defense shield.

Fu—boo—boo—boo——!

Two arrows pierced the backs of their necks, and at that moment, the four layers of magic shields blinked and disappeared— boom—— The

100

-ton giant sword rushed out like a runaway locomotive.
