Steel-Eating Player - Chapter 93
Episode 93. [Devil worshipers, street fighting – 4]
——————————
Mapo-gu’s old city center as darkness slowly falls at 7 p.m. There was a power outage in the area and all the lights disappeared at once.
However, only one spot was flashing with a blue light.
Pa-ji-ji-ji-ji-—!
A 15m tall monster with horns was standing tall there. A strange sight, as if the devil from hell had appeared… However, the creature’s limbs were tied up with electric wires, and the blue sparks flowing from there were crushing his entire body, making a loud popping sound.
In the case of such overcurrent in transmission and distribution equipment, the fuse would blow and the current supply would be interrupted, but Park Jun-mo’s power was able to forcibly extract the current that had stopped flowing and at the same time minimize ‘discharge’.
“Aaaaa——!”
So, I controlled the current that should have flowed into the road and threw it away by jumping around—I was constantly squeezing it into the monster’s body.
Soon the surface of its body was searing and the smell of scorching vibrates.
‘Junmo Park has now become a truly useful weapon.’
He was a talent that Hyunwook Lee discovered did not exist in his previous life.
But…
‘…this alone cannot kill that monster.’
Just as Lee Hyun-wook could not kill monsters with ‘ordinary metal’, Park Jun-mo also had no choice but to face limitations no matter how much ‘ordinary electricity’ he received.
That was a natural rule in this era. You cannot break a monster’s ‘barrier’ with a weapon that is not made with ‘magical power’… even if it is a level 90 demon incarnate.
‘Still, electric shock is effective, so it’s enough to tie her up like that.’
Crash—
When the big man’s body was completely paralyzed by the electric current, Lee Hyun-wook took out ‘Black Rhino’ and walked towards him.
Its huge eyes trembled as it flipped over and back again.
In other words, at least for now,
it is clearly in a state of neutralization…. “Okay, hold on tight! I’ll handle it!”
Meanwhile, Seo Eun-ha and Kim Se-hee kept an eye on the half-collapsed motel building. As much as they knew that Choi Tae-jun was with other devil worshipers, they had no idea what they were going to do. Not only them, but also AMT troops appeared on the rooftops of nearby buildings
. They began to prepare for sniping.
Also, reporters who had come after smelling the scent, knowingly or unknowingly, were setting up their cameras at a distance. They could not let go of the unprecedented scoop that was Lee Hyun-wook. With all their eyes focused on him, Lee Hyun-wook raised his
gun
. He raised it and pulled the trigger one after another.
Kwa-ang–!
Bang–
kwa-ang–!
The point Lee Hyun-wook was aiming for was both of the guy’s knees. The muscles and tendons were stiff due to the electric shock, but when he gave each one a shot, blood burst out. Those thick legs were bent like chicken bones.
Boom——!
Then, the muzzle of the gun was naturally pointed at the guy’s head, and
boom—
’Black Rhino’s’ skill ‘Destruction Spray’ is available!
“This is the end. ”
Before pulling the trigger, Lee Hyun-wook hardened his entire body. In particular, he concentrated on the joints.
And while pulling the trigger, he gave his body metal control to prepare for the recoil so that it would not fly backwards.
And fired—
Qua—and—and—and—and——!
Three magic circles bloom, and the ‘shells’ remaining in the ‘subspace magazine’ are ejected all at once.
Hundreds of ‘pellets’ ejected like this hit the air along the ballistic curve. It vibrated violently, creating visible waves.
The scene, which looked as if a jet engine was spraying from a gun’s muzzle, could easily be called a ‘steel storm.’
Whoo-du-du-du-duk–
Molech was covered in that steel storm. The skin on the Avatar’s face was torn to shreds,
its eyeballs were gouged out, pieces of its nose and ears were caught on a nearby telephone pole, and dark red blood splattered on the wall of the building behind it, leaving a strange-looking graffiti
. ……
Knock – Knock –
With a strange sound, bubbles bubbled up from the wound area and the skin began to regenerate quickly.
“Damn, this isn’t enough…”
It was a blow of conversion. This monster… As it was directly supplied with the power of the devil, its defense and recovery power were greater than expected. Even
though ‘Black Rhino’ had the best firepower in its class, it lacked absolute ‘strength’.
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lee Hyun-wook continued to pull the trigger. But now the ‘shell’ had run out, and only the flames spewing out from the ‘Agni Crystal’ were sprayed. In fact, that alone was a
tremendous amount of firepower, but it only served to scorch the tips of this monster’s fur. There was no choice.
Lee Hyun-wook eventually lowered his gun.
It was a much stronger person than he expected.
‘Well, that kind of form shouldn’t appear right now…’
‘Dr. Bull’, who would later be called the vanguard of villains. ‘Choi Tae-jun… That kind of incarnation state originally had to be completed almost four years after making a huge offering to Moloch.
But now, it was forcibly brought out through Nectar.
In other words, with overpower, it was natural that it would be difficult to deal with at the moment.
‘I guess… I guess I’ll have to do it differently.’
He operated the ‘internal furnace’ to maximum.
– The melting furnace inside the body works, and the metal absorption efficiency rises rapidly. (+200%)
Then my stomach felt like it was melting.
“Pfft……”
Before being deployed to the operation, Lee Hyun-wook had requested 100g of orihalcone from Commander Kwak Sang-pil. And, of course, I swallowed it as soon as I received it, and it has been digesting slowly until now.
‘The control of metal is about to reach 500 kg…’
And the moment it reaches that point—
‘—you will have a weapon that can crush that big thing.’
I had planned to not disclose this here and leave it as a so-called ‘trump card’ to be used later at a critical moment, but I was in a situation where I couldn’t afford the luxury right now.
Lee Hyun-wook looked back at Park Jun-mo.
“Park Jun-mo, can you hold on a little longer?”
“—Pfft yes! I’ll try!”
Lee Hyun-wook summoned an item from one of the AD-1s.
The giant sword Mowgley fell freely and hit the ground.
Boom——
Lee Hyun-wook felt his stomach burn, grabbed the handle of the Mowglei, and looked back at Seo Eun-ha.
“ “Lieutenant Seo, would you please bestow divine power here?”
***
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssingingingsomeonesomeone
in the motel that was completely destroyed by Lee Hyun-wook’s indiscriminate attack.
“Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss on back on on me on you on such a blind attack…”
A grizzled beard I saw an old Japanese man sitting down in the hallway, clutching his side, and next to him was a black boy rummaging through his bag. “Don’t be upset, Master. You just had bad luck.
”
“No, it’s because I’m all old. “Didn’t you cleverly use that bracelet’s one-person shield skill?”
“That’s because I’m an assassin player, so the response was only good. If I had been better, I would have taken off the bracelet and put it on my teacher’s arm…”
“Coughing—what the hell…”
That was the moment when Lee Hyun-wook randomly destroyed the 5th floor of the motel building through AD-1. They came out of the mirror—the devil’s passage.
Even though he was nervous, the old man allowed himself to be damaged once.
“Wow, it seems like the original organ has been injured and the bleeding won’t stop… If I do something wrong, I will die…”
The biggest weakness of those who have reached the extremes of darkness by receiving the power of the devil is that recovery through ‘healing’ is impossible. It was a point. That was a natural mechanism since the source of healing was ‘divine power’.
Of course, there were some things related to recovery among black magic, but since most of them required taking the ‘life force’ of others, the process was extremely complicated compared to healing.
“Master, I found the water of life! Ah… but the bottle… broke… but there’s still about a third of it left!”
“Yes, but it’s an essence made by purifying the blood of a 7-year-old girl, so it’s something that can save this old man’s life.”
He took the Water of Life of such a terrible composition.
“Huh… the pain is going away a bit.”
Then, he blew out smoke from his index finger and summoned a flying insect.
It spread its wings and flew out of the building, and the old man was able to look out through the insect’s gaze.
‘Lee Hyeon-wook, the controller of steel… much more than he thought.’ He’s a scary guy.’
Choi Tae-jun, a servant of Molech, became an incarnation by directly contacting Molech after drinking the legendary ‘Nectar’. As an old man who knew its power, he naturally thought
that the monster would devastate the city.
After recovering, he planned to do everything possible to find a way to get out of this place.
‘But it’s not enough to restrain it so that it can’t move, so it’s trying to blow its head off… It’s a scary guy.’
He clicked his tongue as he looked down at the battered form of Molech.
It felt like it was an unreasonable scene for a being of that level to be beaten so senselessly. Should I say it was like a monkey toying with a lion? …
“Hehe… No matter what, the incarnation of Molech will not die.”
Even though they could tie it up, they didn’t seem to have the power to kill it. It was the same as a monkey that can play with a lion but can’t kill it. However, there is a possibility that another wild animal capable of eating the lion will appear, so we had to hurry and get here
. I had to find a way to get out.
‘Then I heard that that woman, Kang Seo-yoon, is in this land. If that bitch’s arrows are so numerous, even the incarnation of Molech won’t be able to withstand them. I have to hurry.’
It was then.
Hung——
His shadow suddenly began to lengthen, and something rose from there.
It was two people.
“The Shadow Baron…”
The man with the gray mask was the famous ‘Shadow Baron’. And his A man wearing a hooded hood stood behind him.
“Whoa! Old Man Shinshoku, you did a good job keeping that drop of blood. It’s a trade secret, and you can use it to find someone’s shadow!”
“Cough—”
“Huh? But… why are you lying there with such a sad expression? Has your arthritis gotten worse?”
At those words, the old man called Shinshoku shook his head.
“Tsk, I wish you had shown up a little earlier…”
“What? From the beginning, didn’t our guests say that they were in the demon world of Incheon? It was actually us who made a mistake. It’s a pity…”
The method that the devil worshipers prepared to help Choi Tae-jun escape was the Shadow Baron.
He was famous for his express train for criminals, which provided a very convenient means of transportation for a large fee.
And At that time, the villain faction was also watching Choi Tae-jun, so the interests of both sides coincided.
“I couldn’t go to the black market due to a big… situation.”
At those words, a chuckle could be heard from within the Shadow Baron’s mask.
“Ah—Could it be that you got completely wet from the unexpected ‘rain’?”
He picked up a piece of metal stuck in the wall. As such, the inside of this building clearly showed traces of steel rain sweeping through it.
“…Are you making fun of the bleeding old man? Doesn’t your business have a spirit of service?”
“No, that’s not it. You empathize! We’ve all been hit by one, so we know that feeling! is not it? Ugh—”
He said and looked back at the hooded man who came with him.
“Shut up…”
The man gritted his teeth and took off his hood.
He was Kaito Okita, the swordsman.
But his front teeth were shining gold.
“Oh, that’s right, because ‘Mr. Steel Rain’ is here. “I guess you’re not in the mood to take my jokes?”
“Please shut up….”
“Yes, but today is not the time to collect money for your teeth, so I hope you keep it tight so that you don’t accidentally press the quick start button.”
In fact, Okita Kaito was suppressing the desire to jump out at any moment and take revenge on Lee Hyun-wook.
As the Shadow Baron said, it was foolish to get caught up in personal emotions at such an important moment.
“Yes… Today, the only goal is to save Choi Tae-jun. Just focus on this and I will definitely take that bastard’s head later.”
“Uh… But look, I think Dr. Choi is a little out of his mind right now? Well, those [Black Door] guys will take care of it, right?”
Since there is a group of quite capable ‘scientists’ within the villain organization, I believed that they would somehow be able to find a way to restore it. “Well, if
that’s not the case… wouldn’t I just take it to the ‘Grave Keeper’ kid and he’ll create something even better?”
“Damn it, stop talking about that horrible kid…”
Okita Kaito clicked his tongue, as if the story was bothering him.
“What, are you feeling jealous of that kid from Sword Saint? Didn’t he like you though?”
“…don’t talk bullshit. “Is that what you like when I ask you to bring me my body when I die?”
“Ugh… The Prince of Death promised to give him a knighthood when he ascends to the throne! Anyway, he will be very excited if you bring him a big toy like that.”
Okita Kaito frowned and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
“…Stop talking nonsense and get down quickly, right?”
“Okay, shall we show up in style and surprise you?”
Soon, the two people jumped out of the motel.
‘Lee Hyun-wook……’
Okita Kaito honestly
wasn’t sure if he could hold it in.
