Steel-Eating Player - Chapter 199
Episode 199. [ Super gap, skirmish – 1 ]
—————————=
Lee Hyun-wook continued to check two things immediately after entering the cave. there was.
First, there was the normal presence or absence of ‘mana communication’.
‘If you want to assassinate me, this will be the first thing you block.’
Who is Lee Hyun-wook? There were more than one person who had their eyes turned on to protect him, who was the only hope in this world.
And if he even requested assistance, they would immediately fly here by any means necessary.
Since they did not know this, the villains would try to completely isolate Lee Hyun-wook by cutting off his connection with the outside world.
‘It’s already within the predicted range.’
Second, I was checking the time second by second.
‘There are now 241 seconds left.’
No matter how much you know it’s a trap, it’s still like entering the middle of enemy territory.
Lee Hyun-wook remained vigilant and prepared for situations that he could not do anything about.
‘If I don’t communicate for 5 minutes, the operation will begin.’
And mana communication was just lost. This was because there was a shield surrounding the entire place, and it was a mana disruption device using a ‘mana reflux stone’.
In other words, Lee Hyun-wook was facing multiple assassins with his bare hands, without even being able to take out a single item, let alone a skill.
‘…Honestly, it’s a trap that can be said to be perfect. A trap of this magnitude would have taken not only money but also several months.’
Lee Hyun-wook raised his head and looked at the dozen players surrounding him.
However, the ‘Insight Lens’ function seemed to have lost its proper function, and a system message appeared in front of my eyes and then blinked and disappeared.
However, Lee Hyun-wook’s strengths are not limited to ‘skills’ and ‘items’ that require mana.
He slowly exhaled, raised his entire body’s senses, and watched the enemies’ movements.
And then he opened his mouth.
“…There are 229 seconds left.”
Jang Jun-geol’s expression distorted at Lee Hyun-wook’s words.
“Ha! I don’t know what kind of trick you’re pulling, but you can’t use your unique item summoning skills in here!”
“…So, from now on, we will teach you, you arrogant bastard, the cliché expression ‘a rat in a poison!’”
At that moment—
ta—da—da— dang——!
A barrage of arrows and bullets flew towards Lee Hyun-wook.
“Ugh!”
Two sparks were flying inside the cave in the darkness, probably machine guns.
Ta—da—da . — Tang——!
It was a normal attack without any magic, but this side also could not cast any defensive magic.
Therefore, in this space, the enchanted magic bullet could be the optimal attack method. No matter how good his defense was, if he didn’t use his defense skills, he would be torn to pieces and die.
But…
Lee Hyun-wook threw his body back and covered his head with both arms. Then
, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more,
more, more .
Isn’t this all going to fly out?
Their eyes widened at that scene.
“Huh? “What kind of clothes are that thin… and even block enchanted orihalcon bullets?”
Here, Lee Hyun-wook’s unique rigid body skills become ineffective. And his clothing was not thick enough to block bullets, so he was embarrassed in many ways.
But I soon realized the reason…
“…that’s armor made of dragon scales!”
What Lee Hyun-wook was wearing was armor made from the scales of a black dragon. It was natural that armor of that level could not be pierced by most weapons. Lee Hyun-wook chuckled. “Why don’t you decorate a cave and give me the money of a great country
?
” “Did you brag about this or anything?”
“What?”
“What I have is on a different level from the meager things you guys have. So… it’s not a problem that can be solved just by having a lot of people or money.”
“…What on earth do you want to say at this moment?”
Lee Hyun-wook smiled between his arms covering his head.
“…There is a super gap between you and me.”
Lee Hyun-wook had already widened a ‘super gap’ with other players. It was just like this. From a single set of defensive items, it reached a level that surpassed their common sense.
Just as the Native Americans of the Americas could not have dared to block Europeans armed with gunpowder and steel weapons during the pioneering era of the New World, there was a gap that crossed several eras. It was.
If there is that much of a difference, a fight is almost impossible. Even if you are directly caught in a trap like this.
“Now, there are 143 seconds left.”
Lee Hyun-wook counted the time again. It was just confusing for the villains who couldn’t figure out what that meant.
“Um… Captain, if you do this, I think I’ll have no choice but to force the arm covering your head down and slit your throat.”
Jang Jun-geol nodded at those words.
“Yes, Team 1 is moving forward. And the shooters should not miss the moment he lowers his arms and aim for his head and nape.”
In the end, the first plan of baptism with magic bullets was abandoned and five warriors began to advance with swords and shields in hand. ‘
Okay, come a little closer…’
Lee Hyeon-wook covered his head and saw the guys approaching through the gaps between his arms. He looked.
And the moment the distance narrowed to a certain extent, he kicked the floor. The
machine gunners who caught that moment opened fire, but—
“I can’t shoot like this!”
Because Lee Hyun-wook was tangled up with the warriors, he had to take his finger off the trigger.
“This bastard—!”
Choi Choi, a large, bald man, stabbed a large sword at Lee Hyun-wook. Lee Hyun-wook twisted his body to avoid the blow and then delivered a simple jab toward the bridge of the guy’s nose.
Tsk—
“Billion!”
The nose was bent at a right angle and the guy’s body swayed, and Lee Hyun-wook grabbed the arm holding the knife that was straight out as if it were hugging him and then bent the elbow using the principle of a lever.
When I put on the so-called standing arm lock and applied maximum force, the thick arm broke like a cornbread and the bone broke through the skin. “
Quaaa—
”
Lee Hyun-wook snatched the sword from the guy’s grasp and plunged the knife right into the guy’s abdomen.
Pow!
The guy’s eyes slowly rolled over as he let out a fierce scream.
“—Surround from all directions!”
Before I knew it, the remaining four were surrounding Lee Hyun-wook.
“We will surround ourselves like this and approach slowly!”
“That guy can’t move properly because of the machine gun, so we have the advantage!”
However, Lee Hyun-wook lifted the bald giant’s body with one hand and flipped it over as if carrying it on his back.
“what?”
That’s right, the corpse was used as a shield.
In that state, he aimed his sword at the remaining four people.
“—Just hit it!”
Blades flying from four directions aimed at Lee Hyun-wook’s neck. However, Lee Hyun-wook blocked the four weapons coming at him with just one hand. Chang! Chang! Chang!
Chang!
As if reading the flow of all weapons like a martial arts movie expert. It was exactly a simple movement.
After exchanging swords a few times like that, the warriors had no choice but to step back as if surprised.
“Uh…”
They boldly stepped forward because Lee Hyun-wook had bare hands. But now Lee Hyun-wook did not have bare hands.
His Feeling the weight of the sword in their hands, the warriors slowly backed away as if they were standing in front of the barrel of a gun.
“…So, he killed that sword saint too, right?”
Since Lee Hyun-wook has focused on firepower so far, his enemies often forget how good he is at close combat.
And the moment they hesitate—
“Boo!”
A sword was stuck in one of the guy’s necks.
Lee Hyun-wook had thrown it in.
“Huh?”
Lee Hyun-wook kicked off the floor, clung to the guy, and held two swords in both hands. A barrage of machine guns followed his movements, but failed to hit him by even a single inch.
And the next moment,
whoosh,
the two swords left Lee Hyun-wook’s hand, and
whoosh, whoosh,
the two rear machine gunners fell backwards.
In this way, a gap in fire support opened up.
Lee Hyun-wook slowly lowered his arms covering his head and took a proper boxing stance.
“—He’s bare-handed again!”
One guy ran up and swung his sword horizontally, and Lee Hyun-wook tilted his back in a sway motion, letting the tip of his sword slip away, and then put a strong hook in the guy’s chin. With that one
blow,
the jawbone was not only crushed, but the entire lower abdomen was severed and sent flying far away.
“Knock—knock—”
The thing stumbled like a zombie and fell sideways.
Chang—
Lee Hyun-wook had no time to pick up the sword that the bastard had dropped. Before I knew it, swords and spears were flying at both sides.
However, Lee Hyun-wook used his animal sense to let go of all the attacks and instead dug in even closer.
Then…
“—now it’s my street.”
“Tsk! Damn—”
Having a long weapon is an advantage, but the moment that distance is broken, it becomes a liability. Lee Hyun-wook reached a distance where he could reach with his fists but could not swing his sword or spear, and then lightly punched them, shattering the noses and teeth of the two people.
“Ugh—”
“Ack!”
His movements were like those of an animal. And most attacks were blocked by the black dragon’s armor with both arms, so they didn’t have the talent to deal with it.
Jump! puck! Sigh!
After a few dull sounds, the five warriors who had surrounded Lee Hyun-wook were neatly scattered.
“…….”
Then a moment of silence came.
Lee Hyun-wook slowly exhaled and looked at the enemy lines.
‘…There are still a lot.’
However, the number of villains was still too large for Lee Hyun-wook to easily handle. The number he identified was still 13.
Clap—
and other guys grabbed the guns in place of the machine gunners who died from the knives thrown by Lee Hyun-wook.
Lee Hyun-wook lifted a shield that had fallen on the floor. An item like this would be able to withstand a barrage of bullets for a few tens of seconds.
At that time, Jang Jun-geol took a step forward and said.
“Ha— does that mean a tiger is still a tiger even if it has all its teeth pulled out?”
“…….”
“I know your close combat skills are great, but even so, you can’t beat me without your metal control skills.”
As he said that, he took out something.
It was a long golden club… a female baton.
At that time, Hyunwook Lee snapped his fingers.
“Bingo—”
“Huh?”
“Because that’s what I came looking for.”
Then Jang Jun-geol seemed to be hurting his pride, gritting his teeth and growling in a low tone,
“…If you can take it somewhere, take it.”
Jang Jun-geol is one of the best bruisers in China… Lee Hyun-wook had fought against that guy a couple of times in his past life, so he knew a bit about that guy. ‘It would be
difficult to deal with that guy while my abilities were sealed while dealing with the remaining eleven.’
And Lee Hyun-wook had no intention of doing so.
“But…”
He muttered and checked his watch again.
“…It’s about time.”
“what? This bastard has been telling me what kind of time…”
Kwa—ang——!
At that moment, the entire tunnel shook with a loud noise.
“Huh! What happened all of a sudden…”
“—It collapses!”
No one could stand properly. One side of this ancient mountain is probably collapsing entirely.
Kugugugu…
Soon the wall cracked and a part of the ceiling collapsed.
And what that meant was that a large crack appeared in the space made of ‘mana reflux stone’, creating a corner for external mana to seep in.
‘Then mana begins to flow, although it is limited.’
It was the same principle as if a hole were made in a large vacuum pack and air seeped in, the vacuum pack would gradually lose its function.
Lee Hyun-wook closed his eyes and expanded his senses in the shaking tunnel.
In other words, mana was manifested and released.
Then I felt a huge chunk of metal hundreds of meters away. That weight that is more familiar than anything else….
‘Now come to me—’
Lee Hyun-wook tugged on it.
Then a vibration began to sound above my head.
It
was a violent vibration, as if hundreds of buffalo were running or a train was running at full speed.
However, when I got a little closer, I could see that this was not the description.
Qua—and—and—and——!
This wasn’t just a tremor… it was an earthquake.
This huge land cracks, crashes, and twists….
Qua—and—and—and——!
At that time, the entire cracked ceiling collapsed, opened and closed, and something fell and hit the floor.
bang–!
That was the great sword Mogley, whose black days had passed.
Jang Jun-geol said in a trembling voice as he watched Lee Hyun-wook floating the large sword into the air.
“How can this be… Your troops can’t enter this land without permission…”
His eyes were shaking in all directions as if they were about to pop out at any moment.
“…This is ridiculous.”
As he said, this is Chinese territory, so foreign weapons could not be deployed without permission from the Chinese government.
But doesn’t the fact that the Mogley fell from above mean that the vehicle that dropped it was Hyunwook Lee’s army floating in the sky?
“Why… this is an unauthorized invasion of territory, and in fact, unless we start a war, we can’t get this far…” The
Communist Party, which is the main body of this country, and the Public Security Department, which is the most powerful one, has already been dominated by villains for a long time.
That’s why . The surveillance network was operating at maximum for fear that Steelein’s weapons might enter this land.
Therefore, it was a magical scene that he could hardly understand.
In response, Lee Hyun-wook deceived his country’s air defense capabilities and placed a ‘warbox’ in low-orbit orbit. He could have said that magic engineering had advanced enough to launch airships in the sky… but he explained it in just one word: “…
this is the super gap I created.”
***
Alain Giam, who was waiting outside the cave at that time, cursed and coughed, because the whole world was covered in dust. “…
Cough! Cough! Shit! How on earth did this happen!”
For a moment, I thought heaven and earth had changed.
He slowly moved forward, breaking through the clouds of cloudy dust, and as soon as he could see to a certain extent… an incomprehensible landscape unfolded before his eyes.
Kugugugu…
One side of the mountain . The side was crushed as if God had struck it with an axe, and a landslide was still occurring.
“Why is the mountain suddenly collapsing? Damn!”
And in another sense, it meant that his plan could fall apart. He turned his head and helped one of the villains crawling out of the dirt.
“Hey, go ahead and kill Steele for sure!”
“Ugh… the entrance has collapsed and now…”
But before he could finish his sentence—
whoosh—
something cut the man’s throat and he fell down, clutching the back of his neck.
“Huh?”
It was a handful. The wind… It was a very sharp wind.
And a gust of wind blew as the white dust split to the left and right.
A woman, Kim Se-hee, walked out there.
“…Look at this, the reason the boss asked me to keep an eye on you. “I guess it was there?”
She glared at Alain Giam with a bewildered smile.
“…What?”
“Now that I’ve heard everything, are you going to act childish?”
At that time, one side of the dirt pile exploded, and a group of villains came out from behind it. There were at least a dozen of them, and after assessing the situation, they surrounded Kim Se-hee.
Alain Giam gave a soft command to them.
“…I’m going to kill that bitch and take care of Stillaine right now!”
However, Kim Se-hee snorted.
“Ha—is it really going to be that many?”
And only then did Alain Giam notice a huge shadow moving above his head.
Whoosh—whoosh—
Before we knew it, about a dozen airships appeared behind Kim Se-hee, disabling their cloaking modes.
“I guess you thought we would just come this far away?”
