Steel eating player chapter 187

 
============================
Lee Hyun-wook threw himself into the dungeon of death.
woo woo woo–
Black grips pulled his body into the deep swamp.
For the first few seconds, I felt stuffy as if I was suffocating, but then I saw a light in the distance, and as the light expanded, it swallowed up Lee Hyun-wook’s body.
Uh-
At that moment, I felt gravity acting on my body and falling to the floor.
He instinctively tightened his body and landed easily on the ground.
chin-
“uh? What, what!”
The first thing I heard was a woman’s bewildered voice.
Lee Hyun-wook raised his head and looked straight ahead.
A long window was visible, and beyond that stood several men in white hazmat suits.
“—Hey, look over there! He’s here!”
“Damn it, you really did!”
They found Lee Hyun-wook and moved quickly with a look of embarrassment. Beyond that, I could see a huge room with all kinds of equipment, which looked more like a research facility than a temple of death.
However, the system message that appeared in front of Hyun-wook Lee proved that he was not on the wrong path.
– caution! You have entered  .
“Tell me to close Death Dungeon before we go any further!”
“That’s right, we need a little more time! ‘Alpha Mind’ is still carrying out its previous orders!”
“Why is there such a delay?”
“Wow, I think I’m overloaded—”
Those conversations emanated from the speakers hanging from the ceiling, then turned off and inaudible.
‘But here… … .’
The place where Hyunwook Lee was standing was in a huge compartment… … What can I say, it was like a place where subjects were confined and secret experiments were conducted in a movie.
‘The researchers are watching from behind that long window over there… … .’
And it was full of all kinds of bones.
It’s alive and moving… … .
walk away—
A gigantic crocodile bone rushed towards Lee Hyun-wook with his mouth open.
– Great Alligator Skeleton (LV: 81)
He held the skull of an advanced lich in his right hand, and wielded moglay with his left hand, sweeping away all the skeletons that surrounded him.
All of them were quite high-ranking undead, but they were easily crushed like a sand castle the moment they touched Moglay with the Holy Sword effect.
‘Maybe they summoned the undead here and sent them out whenever necessary.’
The death landing, which became the entrance, was spread evenly across the ceiling, walls, and floor. There, a bunch of black hands were sprouting up and they were wriggling like sea anemones.
From there, living armors started popping out one by one like paratroopers.
Scream— Scream—
‘We must get out of this compartment.’
Weapons to control the subject could have been installed in this space.
Lee Hyun-wook immediately flew the moglay towards the long window in front.
With the sound of Zeng—the windows and walls flew off, and a large hole was opened.
“I don’t even know what this place is doing… but it’s all smashed down.”
Scream— Scream—
At his command, the steel corps advanced and squeezed through the hole in the wall.
Stop them!”
“Damn! When is the guard coming!”
They seemed to respond, but the Living Armor and the Dragon Soldier Iron Golem weren’t something that could be easily stopped.
bang- bang-
After a few riots and gunshots, only screams followed.
When Lee Hyun-wook went up to the laboratory, there were already dozens of corpses all over the place, and the rest were scattered all over the place, opening each door and running away.
The dragon soldiers followed them as sharply as hounds, and a scream rang out again.
“Aww—!”
“Please save me! Whoops—”
– Player (LV: 31)
– Player (LV: 45)
Lee Hyun-wook watched the scene all the time, but he could hardly erase his doubts.
Even so, he didn’t relax, knowing that a considerable level of undead corps would welcome him… … Isn’t it just one weak player?
‘… … What the hell are you doing here?’
ooh- ooh-
Quite a large space with the sound of machinery… … At first glance, you could tell that it was a high-quality research facility, but it was full of large, unknown experimental equipment.
And on one side was a tank filled with green liquid. There were all kinds of skeletons in it, and the screens displaying their status were blinking busily.
‘One thing is certain, it is a place to study the undead.’
And on one side, there was a facility that could be called a ‘control center’.
Dozens of monitors filled one wall… … Most of the screens were illuminating the giant mountain house of Otrissan where Lee Hyun-wook had just been.
‘Ah, you were giving orders while watching from here?’
Just by looking at it, I knew what kind of place it was.
Then where the hell is the Necromancer? … .
“-Ah?”
Among the numerous monitors, one particularly stood out.
[CAM 001]
Camera 1 on the far left, it was illuminating a child in a certain tank.
Maybe mid-teens? He was a white boy with a short stature and bald hair.
The guy was floating in an unknown solution and had electrodes attached to his body.
And the wires inserted into the head and spine… … It was never normal.
And Lee Hyun-wook felt a strange sense of alienation and rejection towards him.
The reason is that… … Because black energy was flowing from the child’s body.
‘That’s… … It is the power of death.’
This could be known because Hyun-wook Lee was designated as a ‘Great Warrior of Light’ by Emilia Muller and had a kind of paladin-like sense.
‘Where is that screen?’
Lee Hyun-wook looked around, and soon found another ‘compartment’. A large spherical device was installed there.
‘This is Adamant material.’
Although the inside was invisible, ‘Alpha Mind’ was engraved on the surface, and a small CAM001 was written underneath it.
Also, very vaginal smell of death was felt.
Lee Hyun-wook was sure of this.
‘After all, the kid in here… … Necromancer.’
… … It couldn’t have been a shocker.
In fact, Lee Hyun-wook had never seen the Necromancer’s face properly.
I first met him about 5 years after this time, but at that time, he always wore a skull-shaped mask and only exposed his undergarments.
‘So, let alone age and gender, I couldn’t even read facial expressions well.’
It was the first and last time I’d ever seen him show his emotions just once, when Choi Jeong-cheol turned the Legion of Death into ashes with Semi Armageddon.
Anyway, it was a mysterious being who doubted whether he was actually human, let alone what he looked like… … .
Under the circumstances, this little teenage boy seemed to be that brutal and absolute being, the Necromancer.
‘Hey, that’s ridiculous… … .’
The terrifying being was now only floating around in the capsule, seemingly unconscious.
‘And it turns out, a little while ago, when I heard a glimpse of the researchers talking, it seems like they were giving orders to the Alpha Mind… … .’
Does that mean that the necromancer is not moving of its own will?
Lee Hyun-wook lifted the skull of a senior Richie held in his right hand towards the 1st camera.
“Is this your master?”
Then he clenched his chin and opened his mouth.
“Just— He always sleeps. Man, if you’re going to harm my master… … .”
“What are you going to do? You’ve got nothing but bone pain.”
“Stick! I will surely grind you… … .”
There seemed to be no more productive conversations.
Awkward—
Lee Hyun-wook pulled out the man’s lower jaw.
Seeing them praising their master even after seeing them so helplessly, and even looking like a rat in the lab, it seemed that they would instinctively praise their master if they were revived by the power of a necromancer.
“under…….”
Lee Hyun-wook kept a smile.
Now, this situation was so absurd.
“If that’s the case… the Necromancer didn’t actually decide to become a villain…”
Then why did it happen?
The culprit for creating this worst weapon in history was, of course, Gordon Price.
‘If it’s him, he can trick, trick, brainwash, and coerce young S-class players.’
He was deceiving himself as an “analyst class” player. It was not a lie at all, because it was possible to read the information contained in the object.
‘But that was only part of it.’
Later, after finding out that he was a villain, the Guardian gathered a lot of information and estimated that his true ability was a ‘telepathic’ person.
Among them, the fact that he has a deceptive ability called ‘mind manipulation’ or ‘mind control’… … .
‘So I brainwashed quite a few players to follow him.’
Of course, his mind-manipulation didn’t readily work for higher-ranking players, so the Guardian would have deceived it purely with deception.
‘Anyway, in the end… … Necromancers were also used by him from a young age, and were raised as biological weapons… … .’
Later, I saw the scene where the necromancer went directly to the battlefield several times, so I couldn’t see him as a complete victim, but for now, it seemed that the kid was just a puppet.
‘still… … There is no change in the fact that it is an existence that must be dealt with in order to check the villains.’
tongue—
Hyunwook Lee pulled out the sphere capsule containing the Necromancer with one gesture.
Then, after throwing it behind his back, he tied it with chains.
‘First of all, we have to get out of here.’
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-
At that moment, the ceiling was dyed red and the siren sounded.
– 30 seconds before emergency incineration— 30 seconds before emergency incineration— All employees are requested to evacuate immediately. yet again… … .
Emergency incineration, at first glance, isn’t that a word that sounds like a building suicide?
Perhaps he thought that it was impossible to save the Necromancer, and he seemed to blow up the whole place.
However, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised to give up so easily.
Even so, the Necromancer must be their last weapon… … .
‘… … No, I can’t just give up, there must be some intention. Anyway, we have to get out of here quickly.’
Lee Hyun-wook threw a capsule containing a necromancer into the death dungeon that was so narrow that it seemed to close soon, and he re-entered there.
woo woo woo–
So, the moment I returned to the giant citadel—
Whoa—–!
An explosion occurred above his head.
“ね!”
Lee Hyun-wook was swept away by a thick flame and flew several tens of meters before being thrown into the mud.
beep—
Even though the body was wearing rigid shoes, it must have been a fairly high level of magic, my head was spinning and my tinnitus was heard.
– … … Boss— Come on— Blood— Shit—
In Lee Hyun-wook’s mana messenger, someone’s voice was cut off and heard.
It was not known whether the mana messenger was broken or if it was a problem with Lee Hyun-wook’s hearing.
After exhaling, he got up on the floor with an intuition that there were beings running towards him.
And instinctively created a metal in his right hand, sharply molded it, and then blew it away at the beings that were about to attack him.
Kang!
The guy made a weird noise and rolled around.
But that wasn’t all.
‘Damn it, it’s all over the place.’
In a situation where his mind had not yet fully recovered, he could only feel that the whole place was filled with murderous intentions.
Grrr—
First, the sense of smell returned, and I could see that the whole place was full of wild animals.
He took a deep breath and exerted control of the metal, trying to find Mowglay somewhere far away.
However, as if surrounded by a hazy mist, the metal control did not perform as well.
‘Damn it, you need to calm down.’
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook’s body was surrounded by the wind.
And a woman stepped down in front of him.
“What else are these? Ha— are you okay? It’s really dangerous now, isn’t it?”
It was Kim Se-hee.
As she surrounded a blade of wind around her, even unidentified beasts could not approach.
“after…….”
Hyun-wook Lee felt that his vision had returned to some extent, and he rolled his eyes to find the capsule containing the Necromancer as he turned his head.
‘I’ll take it from there.’
Unsurprisingly, furry bipedal beasts were dragging it.
– Bloodlord’s Werewolf (LV: 81)
‘After all, Ricardo Oliveira, he’s here.’
Hyunwook Lee reached out and sharply transformed the chain around the capsule.
Then he wrapped around the necks of the beasts and lifted them up to the sky.
Kang— Kang—
Wherever these terrible beasts had fallen, the sky was all over the place, and there seemed to be hundreds of them.
If he had done this while avoiding the eyes of Lee Hyun-wook’s aides who would surround this area, he was probably ambushing nearby.
‘Is this your intention to take the Necromancer with you?’
He was aiming for the exact timing of Lee Hyun-wook’s return, and after launching such a powerful magic offensive, he was going to release a bunch of Werewolves and kill them.
‘Yeah, the surprise was a bit dangerous, but… … Yes, I guess.’
But now, villains are no match for Lee Hyun-wook.
‘I have surpassed even the villains who conquered the world in my previous life.’
Regression, Second Life worked like a cheat in this game.
The countless journeys he had monopolized made him an overwhelming force.
‘In other words, it has reached a level that cannot be lost.’
Now, no matter how much the villains rushed, he was confident that he would never be pushed back in a head-on confrontation.
Hyunwook Lee moved the holy sword effect to ‘Fail Note’.
He closed his eyes and scanned the area again with a normalized sensation.
And I drew only one line in my head. A long line that surrounds this area… … Using it as a rail, Fail Note launched—
Pew—Pew—Pew—Pew——
In just a few seconds, the temples of the werewolves who were growling around were stitched together with a single string.
They were also a kind of undead, so with a single blow, their bodies turned into ash— and flew away.
“너, 너, 이 씨발 새끼, 이게 지금 말이 돼? 대체 무슨 사기를 치는 거냐?”
Lee Hyun-wook opened his eyes and turned his head to the direction the voice was coming from.
A large Hispanic man was staring at Lee Hyun-wook with his long nails hanging down.
– Player (LV: 104)
It was the Blood Lord—Riccardo Oliveira, a villain he had met countless times in the past.
But at that moment—
– (!) The main quest has been updated.
– Congratulations! You have reached the second turning point of the main quest  .
– caution! Past Life Mischief—The Second Dimensional Mover is coming. Defeat him!
The unidentified main quest that had been somewhat stagnant until now was progressing.
[Main Quest]
– Second life chance, duty, destiny… … .
1) Track down the ‘Black Gate’ that is open somewhere in this world.
2) Previous Life—Defeat the ‘dimensional mover’ who will come from the first world. (1/3)
3) Encounter ‘■■■’ who knows the truth of this world.
‘Yes, the Blood Lord is the one who survived to the end. And since he was the same person I died, I thought he would appear as a dimensional mover.’
Ricardo Oliveira made an uncomfortable expression on her face, and then backed away.
“uh…….”
Then he trembled, grabbed his stomach, and flinched.
“Uh- uh-”
Lee Hyun-wook knew what was going to happen in the future.
‘Now he vomits something up, and a dimensional mover appears in it.’
Lee Hyun-wook pulled Mowglay and walked towards him.
Then he hid his anger and held out his palm in bewilderment.
“Come on, wait… cow, my stomach…”
It is often said that attacking while transforming is a foul.
But it was foolish to not attack when vomiting a dimensional mover.
Hyunwook Lee kicked the floor and lifted the moglay, and he staggered back with disgust.
I tried to suppress the abnormality somehow and move my body, but it didn’t seem easy.
“Fuck, come on, wait a minute— huh—”
At that moment, the man’s mouth opened and something ran down his throat.
“Wow—”
chow——
Lee Hyun-wook aimed at that moment and swung his mogley, and the tip of his sword cut through the guy’s neck.
At the same time as its head split and spun in the air, a black ball sprung out of its mouth, and it soared into the air, causing an explosion.
Whoa—-!
At that point, a black shimmer bloomed.
Lee Hyun-wook thought as he looked at the strange sight.
‘Black Kate…’
A man with red skin and yellow eyes came out of the strange phenomenon and jumped to the ground.
He whistled and looked around.
“Oh— I didn’t know I’d be second, so let’s see… Where is this place?”
He looked around and found a corpse lying on the floor right in front of him.
His eyebrows twitched.
“This is… fuck, is it me?”
He gave a blank expression for a moment, then slapped the body over with his foot.
“By the way, where did your head go? No, I should have killed you, but damn it… But who the hell can kill me at this time of year? But isn’t one’s regenerative power at its peak?”
He looked around while muttering to himself, and met a man, Lee Hyun-wook.
“Huh? You… Steel Emperor, why are you here?”
Lee Hyun-wook glanced up and down as he heard the nickname of his previous life.
However… … .
– Semi-Transcendent (LV: 143)
‘Huh?’
Isn’t his classification a ‘quasi-transcendent’ rather than a ‘player’?
This was something I couldn’t understand because when I met William Bernard, the first dimension mover, I couldn’t see the player’s information yet.
‘… … Also, transcendence is an important keyword.’
Lee Hyun-wook remembered the saying that the dimensional movers were doing a ‘transcendence quest’.
What the heck that meant, I still couldn’t figure out.
Then, the guy came.
“Hey, why are you here now? I must have crash-landed to another dimension… ah, no…”
Like William Bernard, the first dimensional mover, he seemed to have no idea how this world worked.
So, just because he came from the future 8 years from now, he would have thought that he had no rival in the dimension.
“… … But, did you really kill me?”
He looked at the giant sword Lee Hyun-wook was holding, Mowglay.
And then I felt the overwhelming divine power emanating from it.
“—Stand, Holy Sword?”
He took a step back slowly without realizing it.
And then he lifted his head.
All kinds of metal weapons were floating in the sky.
And the huge walls surrounding it, a number of players were lined up on it.
Among them were the Saints and even the administrators of the World Tree.
“Ah, I guess I’m right… it’s impossible for this time to be like this…”
