Steel eating player chapter 190

 
=============================
The tip of Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand was aimed at the Necromancer.
Immediately after, a gust of wind blew from the distant sky, and a single ray of light was fiercely shot towards him.
Whoo-ooh–!
100t, Legend, Dragon Slayer, Holy Sword… … It’s a blow with all the best options available.
For this single room, it has been sufficiently warmed up. It was for this moment that all the undead that were protecting him were removed and the magic shield was half broken by driving like crazy.
‘Now, I can’t avoid it.’
While thinking like that, Lee Hyun-wook concentrated as much as possible to counter the Necromancer’s resistance.
But the guy… … Surprisingly, he jumped up and down, and didn’t he just cover his face with both hands?
In other words, he seemed to have completely lost the will to fight. Such an appearance was very surprising even for Lee Hyun-wook. How could that necromancer become so weak after facing a single failure… … .
‘But it’s not that I don’t understand.’
Lee Hyun-wook knew a mean boy who was hiding behind the terrible name of a Necromancer.
A biological weapon created by the wicked, not of my own will… … Therefore, I didn’t know if that was the true form of that puppet Necromancer, which could not be revealed because he had never been defeated.
‘And that… … This is the last look.’
That doesn’t mean I have no sympathy for him.
But, just before Mowglay was struck by him—
Chu—Wick——!
“Uh-huh!”
A huge hand protruded from behind his back.
“-Huh?”
The moment that huge palm was spread out, a dozen magic circles burst forth and twisted the space. So, not through physical force, but through the curvature of space—
Shut up——!
With a single swipe, it rubbed only the bone mask, not the necromancer’s head, and then crashed into the floor.
‘What kind of magic is that?’
Still, an enormous amount of energy flowed down the ground, turning the ground upside down and bouncing off its body.
As he stood up on the floor, the bone mask split in two, revealing his face.
“Black— uh……”
He had a youthful face that had not yet taken off his boyish shirt. It was an unbelievable appearance that he had driven a world to destruction, but his eyes were bloodshot and fragile as if he was about to cry.
As that guy glanced at Lee Hyun-wook with dazed eyes—
“I really… I can’t do it alone.”
Again, I said to someone like that, as if begging.
“Yes…….”
Then, as if he was listening to someone’s answer, he even nodded his head.
‘… … Who the hell are you talking to?’
Hyun-wook Lee felt ominous in that passage and moved Mowglay again.
‘Please, I just hope there is a schizophrenia.’
But then—
“Aww——!”
The boy let out a shriek, and blood gushed from the nape of his neck.
As it pierced through the skin, something elongated came out and started to wriggle.
Chu Chu Chu Chu Chu——
‘… … tentacle?’
It was a bizarre dungeon worthy of being called that.
At the end of it was a red eyeball.
Kuruk- Kuruk-
It looked up at Lee Hyun-wook.
At that disgusting gaze, he frowned.
‘What is that… … .’
And in Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes, the information was visible.
– Semi-Overmind (Demonization in progress)
This time, it was a ‘quasi-overmind’. In other words, it meant that they were of the same class as the ‘dimensional movers’ that appeared earlier.
‘Then at least you are a player… … .’
But no matter how you look at it, it wasn’t human.
It didn’t look like a polymorph or body transformation, though.
It just feels like a strange monster.
Another strange thing was that instead of the level, “Demonization in progress” was written.
The meaning, Hyunwook Lee, could hardly be guessed.
‘From now on, things are outside of my experience, and things I don’t know come out. … … You have to be nervous.’
at that time-
“Hey, I didn’t mean to show up so soon… … This world is so strangely twisted.”
It made a strange voice, and a moment of silence passed. Everyone in the room couldn’t figure out what the hell it was, so they couldn’t say anything and just looked at each other.
“… … What are you?”
It was Lee Seong-yoon who asked like that, and his voice resounded softly through amplification magic.
Then, the eyeballs of the tentacles turned quickly and looked at Lee Seong-yoon.
“Ah— my old friend, Sungyoon! I didn’t expect to see you again so soon, but I’m glad.”
“what? friend… … Are you talking to me now?”
The tentacle’s eyeballs let out a laugh, heh heh—as if in a joke.
However, such a bizarre greeting was a big hint to Lee Hyun-wook.
‘Wait, if you’re a villain, you’re in control of a necromancer, and you tell Seongyoon Lee that you’re a friend… … .’
As far as Lee Hyun-wook knows, there is only one player who meets all those conditions.
‘… … Maybe Gordon Price, is it him?’
Did he fail to exploit the necromancer and eventually started parasitism?
‘But this is only a shallow guess.’
It was a bit unreasonable to project Gordon Price on such a bizarre appearance.
Uh–
At that moment, the pupils of the tentacle’s eyeballs dilated, and two giant hands sprouting from the necromancer’s back radiated red rays. They were divided into dozens and scattered into the sky.
Whoa-ah-ah-ah–!
“—!”
Everyone floating in the air, including Lee Hyun-wook, hastily fled.
The rays rose in a straight line and stirred the dark clouds that filled the sky like whipped cream.
“This is really… … It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever been through. Who would have expected this time period would be so ferocious? I don’t get it, what the hell kind of variable got it to this point? Ah— is that why William Bernard died within an hour of passing over?”
Mumbling quite chatty, it continued to emit beams of light.
“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
Whoa-ah-ah-ah–!
Another beam of light attack crashed the AD-2s floating in the sky.
‘Damn it, too many rays.’
Even Lee Hyun-wook was so powerful that he had to rush to dodge rather than counterattack.
And it was the worst offensive for Lee Hyun-wook, who had to dominate the air.
However, Lee Hyun-wook felt that it was a means of containment rather than a means of attack.
It felt like he was throwing at random, trying to somehow push away those who surrounded him.
In other words, the offensive would have to stop one day like a bullet would fall.
‘I’m going to try to run away before that happens.’
just as expected-
“You, the world will oxidize into nutrients for my transcendence the moment I gain full power.”
At the end of those words, two red magic circles bloomed under their feet.
woo woo woo–
“That’s space movement magic!”
It was Lee Seong-yoon who noticed that. As he was the apex of the wizard series, he read the flow of mana.
Then Kang Seo-yoon pulled the bowstring and shouted.
“That bastard runs away! You’ll be defenseless while you’re casting that, so pour it all—!”
Tongue-tong-tung-tong-
The bow she shot and the weapons Lee Hyun-wook fired were blocked by a black shield and oxidized.
“…what? Use two high-ranking magics at the same time?”
In general, long-distance space movement magic was an extremely difficult skill.
A-class wizard players had to pour out all their mana.
So ‘World Bridge’, which opens ‘Wight Hall’, was a scam.
And that was possible because he borrowed the power of Yggdrasil.
In addition, the cast time is long, so it was difficult to see it as an emergency escape, and during casting, it is helplessly exposed to attacks. That was natural. Otherwise, it was a common balance break… … .
A scene that completely shattered common sense regarding such wide-area movement technology took place right before my eyes.
To use a long-distance teleport while surrounded by a solid super-large magic shield… … .
Uh–
Soon, a black beam of light rose from the floor, wrapped around the Necromancer, and soared into the sky.
“……”
It disappeared, and for a few seconds the whole world was dyed with a deep sense of silence.
“Oh, no, there’s something like that! Does that make sense?”
Even the best players in this place couldn’t understand it.
However, Lee Hyun-wook knew why such a ‘double casting’ was possible.
‘… … It was probably started after enchanting the Dragon Heart with different magic.’
And a lot of dragons were hunted in the past life, and thus left a dragon heart.
They were scattered here and there, but in the end, the ultimate winner would have taken it all.
In other words, like Lee Hyun-wook, who monopolized the items of this world, he harbored a sense of eccentricity beyond common sense.
Lee Hyun-wook hooted— and let out a sigh. It was a failure I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
‘Damn, I thought this fight would be the last… … .’
However, another battle was left with an unexpected variable.
‘That’s someone I don’t even know… … Moreover, he is a stronger opponent than me.’
In other words, the engine that Hyun-wook Lee had been able to run like a runaway locomotive had disappeared.
But Lee Hyun-wook wasn’t afraid or worried. His strength wasn’t just because of his return.
Before he had the privilege of returning in the first place, he had more talent than anyone else.
He exhaled slowly, raising his head to scan the chaotic battlefield once.
Traces of breaking the necromancer’s wall, which looked so high, were scattered there.
Now I don’t have any regrets I had in my previous life. He is ready to do his best.
‘Don’t make me regret coming over here, no matter what you do… … .’
But then, a system message appeared in front of everyone.
– (!) The quest has arrived.
“Huh? What, a quest all of a sudden…”
[World Quest]
– Demon King, the seed of a catastrophe that came from an unknown world… … .
Demon Lord, many have witnessed the existence that will be called that.
The good news, though, is that the Demon Lord has not yet attained full power.
If we don’t find him and eliminate him, this world may fall.
1) Elect a hero ‘Hero’ to lead the subjugation of the Demon King. (Proceeding)
2) Attack the ‘Demon Castle’ that will appear somewhere in this world. (Proceeding)
3) Defeat the final boss monster ‘Demon King’. (Proceeding)
* Compensation: Differentially paid according to the achievement of subjugating the Demon King
– caution! If the ‘3’ goal fails, it will be ‘World Game Over’.
“What, the Demon King? You just said that it is the Demon Lord that only appears in the manga”
“… … But what is ‘World Quest’? Have you all heard of this?”
“Hmm… … I’ve done all kinds of quests, but this is the first time I’ve seen this.”
They were all looking at Lee Hyun-wook with a puzzled expression.
“… … It’s the first I’ve ever seen.”
This wasn’t a lie. It was something he had never seen in his two lives.
‘Is the world quest, literally, a quest that is granted to the whole world at the same time?’
But what took more than that was the very familiar word ‘Demon King’.
It was a rather childish word to refer to a demon king, often a being who becomes the final boss in a fantasy world.
However, since the world has actually become a fantasy game, the weight of the word has to be quite different.
And experts used to joke that someday a demon king could appear. In the first place, orcs and ogres appeared, and even demons and dragons appeared, so it was not unusual in context.
And then, a word as familiar as the Demon King appeared before my eyes… … .
– (!) You can apply for the ‘Hero Candidate’.
* All players around the world are elected through ‘voting’.
‘I don’t know what this is, but you will need it when dealing with him.’
But votes from all the players around the world… … .
There was a great fear that this would open a political forum on this important issue.
But then, Emilia Muller came to the side.
“Is that child alive?”
Where she pointed, a boy was lying between the white tree guards.
Pale, shriveled skin as if it had never seen the sun…
I don’t know how long he’d been trapped inside that capsule.
“That bastard was controlling the undead army, right?”
“… … I don’t think it was of my own will.”
That said, if you keep it alive, it might turn into some kind of blemish.
“So live, don’t. I’m dying right now. I’m going to die soon.”
Hyunwook Lee pondered for a moment.
‘He may know something I don’t know.’
So, for the first time, I had to come to my senses and conduct an interrogation.
‘… … If you lock it in Yggdrasil’s holy power, you won’t be able to go wild.’
Hyun-wook Lee looked at Emilia Muller and nodded.
“He wields the power of death and needs to exploit someone’s life force to recover.”
“… … Oh, come to think of it, Heal would be poison, isn’t it?”
“It’s not, I’ll just heal it after I’ve purged all the power of death.”
Lee Hyun-wook had never even heard of such a thing, but it was a different story for a saint.
“Then his powers will be greatly weakened.”
“Well, you could say it’s actually castrated.”
Lee Hyun-wook thought that it was all right for him, and asked her to revive him.
After a while, Emilia Muller infused the Necromancer’s body with divine power.
“—Uh-huh!”
The guy was moribund and vomited blood from every hole.
However, after about five minutes, Emilia Muller spoke in a somewhat bewildered voice.
“Uh, uh… … How does this happen?”
“Why, what’s going on? Did it go wrong?”
When Lee Hyun-wook asked, she looked at the Necromancer with a blank expression and tilted her head.
“Um… So, the realm of death isn’t necessarily the power of darkness, is it?”
“Yes?”
“Because, for example, some souls may be good and not evil.”
Lee Hyun-wook did not understand what she was trying to say yet.
“Why did you think a necromancer must wield the evil powers of death… … .”
“So, what are you talking about now?”
As she grinned, she pointed to the vicinity of the Necromancer’s heart.
“This bastard has absorbed the Holy Power and started accumulating it.”
