Episode 113 [New business, Arsenal – 1]
——————————
As Raijin’s mace spewed out a blue electric current, Park Jun-mo raised both hands. unfolded.
“Yeaaa——!”
Then, as if unfolding a net, the bundle of currents was divided widely, then torn into even smaller pieces and wriggled, spreading out in all directions. It was a mysterious scene, like watching a horde of electric eels surfing the rapids. Wave-ji-ji-ji-
ji- —!
Thousands of flashes of light that were born like that swept across the road in front of Seoul Station.
For that split second, no one moved.
It seemed like if they took even the slightest step, they would get an electric shock.
And in fact, the electric shock happened.
That’s it. …..!
Only the black orcs trembled and fell down.
Park Jun-mo only guided the electric current to identifiable enemy monsters.
Because of that, Gi Baek-jun’s subordinate players were able to avoid the anger.
Soon, a few seconds later, an electric storm broke out. The moment this discharge disappears…
“…Now is the time! Assemble all troops into formation!”
With the shouts of Captain Kwak Yong-jun, the 1st company commander, the AMT soldiers moved.
They had suffered great damage in the previous melee.
It was crazy to fight with those experienced Black Orc warriors.
“Move the wounded to the back and treat them!”
“…Corporal Bar Park, open your eyes!”
Eleven people were killed in the brief collision. Although they went through and overcame the 4th wave and became elite, the overwhelming level gap was difficult to overcome.
However, if they formed a defensive line, they could somehow hold out until support arrived, so the tanks lined up at the front line and began to build a shield wall.
“Hehe… All troops, come to your senses, they’re coming again!”
Ahn Min-tae, the highest level soldier, was in charge of the shield wall.
Ugh…
As expected, the black orc did not die from the electric shock alone. His body only stiffened for a moment, but he quickly stood up as he had a considerable level of stamina.
Still, they couldn’t recklessly charge into the tightly organized ranks.
And Seo Eun-ha and Oh Gyeong-pyo appeared in front of the shield wall.
“It’s embarrassing, but I don’t know about monsters like that, but they’re about the size of a black orc…”
Oh Gyeong-pyo, ranked 14th, was at the forefront, holding the spear. I praised it.
The Black Orcs seemed to have sensed that level and hesitated.
On the other hand, Ki Baekjun’s subordinates could not hide their confusion as they observed the situation.
“Hey, what is this all of a sudden!”
“…Aren’t we going to get screwed again if we keep doing this?”
Scenes that would turn the tide of the war unfolded one after another in just a few tens of seconds.
And, more than anything, it was shocking that Cerberus, the giant monster summoned by Ki Baekjun by sacrificing one of his entire arms, was being pushed unilaterally.
Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
That guy was scary. As if he was tired, he stood with his back to the building and barked furiously, but the left side of his head had already been cut off and blood was gushing out like a waterfall. It would have been a truly pitiful scene if it hadn’t been for its 10m tall body. Talos was stomping towards that direction
. .
「( 3 ) Tsk tsk tsk—come here!」
He even clicks his tongue as if calling a dog, as if he were calling a dog. Where did he learn that from?
Tsk….
“Shall we play ball?”
Then, Talos’ right arm begins to transform into a different shape.
It’s ‘ It was a weapon made by the Gray Dwarves using ‘Agni Crystal’ as the main material, and had a somewhat bizarre name, [Great Fucking Gun]. To put it simply, it was an enlarged version of Lee Hyun-wook’s [Black Rhino]. Giiiiii—— The muzzle heated up red and said, ”
Bite
.
” Wow
!
As many as 150 iron balls came pouring out and attacked the guy.
Wow!
The huge monster bounced off and crashed into the wall of the building.
Then, Talos was heavy but fast, as if he were an NFL player. He lunged at the guy, pushed him to the ground, and grabbed his muzzle with two arms.
Kicking- Kicking-
The guy couldn’t shake off the grip that was practically like a hydraulic press.
Why———–!
And the other two. The arm starts the chainsaw.
The scene that followed was nothing short of cruel.
“…….”
Ki Baek-jun was also dumbfounded as he looked at that scene.
That was… a resistance that was completely unexpected and beyond his expectations. “Where did something like that come from all of a sudden?
”
Summoned by sacrificing one arm, Cerberus was a whopping level 106.
A being that could easily defeat something like that, or something that looked like a monster, fell from the sky rather than a lightning bolt…
He slowly raised his head.
“There’s no way something like that will fall again. It can’t happen.”
It seemed like they had prepared well for emergencies on the other side as well.
However, just in case something like this happened, Ki Baekjun prepared Plan B and Plan C.
And now he decided to take out those two cards at once.
He pulled out his dagger and said , I drew one of the remaining arms.
— — — The flowing blood drew a magic circle on the floor, and
Tsutsuts — —
The tentacled strands popped out.
” This time I offer up my right eye and left ear!”
Sigh! Sigh!
At that moment, a tentacle flew in and ripped out the eyeball and tore off the ear.
“Kwaaaa——!”
I sacrificed two bodies to the devil and summoned two more demonic beasts.
If I did that, it was obvious that I could crush that bronze giant, and
that meant I could obtain Laputa, my ultimate goal.
‘Ugh, if you want to stop this, you need to be a top ranker . We need five or six people.’
But now all the players of that level are going to Jeju Island.
‘This move is check mate.’
Soon, a portal opened and a huge spider appeared inside.
It was a level 101 ‘Abyss Spider’ with a body of 15 meters.
And then a black snake crawled out.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk –
It was a level 104 ‘Abyss Spider’ with a body length of 30 m. It was ‘Basilisk’.
Three 100-level boss monsters gathered in one place like this.
In effect, they had summoned an apocalypse.
“Ugh, yeah… there will be no way to stop this.”
He smiled bitterly while holding his bleeding face, and
lamenting voices began to flow from the AMT side.
Yes, this was a scene that would break their sense of resistance.
“Go and turn that robot into scrap metal and make humans into mush!” However, as soon as
Ki
Baekjun’s command was given
, something fell from the sky and hit the ‘Abyss Spider’, and the huge spider was unable to hold on and fell to the ground with a sound.
“….. .Huh?”
This was a scene reminiscent of the appearance of the bronze giant a little while ago.
“…Oh, look at these?”
Someone was standing on top of the miserably crumpled Abyss Spider.
“…Like you said, something quite interesting is unfolding, isn’t it?”
The man was giggling and talking to someone.
Ki Baekjun realized who the owner of the voice was.
“……Ha Hantaesan?”
He was Han Tae-san, ranked second in the Korean player rankings.
That monster-like man must be struggling on Jeju Island right now… I couldn’t understand how he appeared here.
“No, why… you should be in Jeju Island right now!”
Ki Baek-jun screamed without realizing it.
At this, Han Tae-san turned his head and looked down at him.
“Oh, Ki Baek-jun? “Who are you, mixed in there?”
“…….”
“Ah, looking at it now, those monsters have your mana on them, right?”
“…….”
“I’m not sure what happened, but… you were left behind.”
He smiled cruelly and began to break the legs of the Abyss Spider that he was stepping on one by one, as if pulling out the legs of a crab. Kueeee——
!
It was a demon summoned by Baekjun Ki, even sacrificing his own body, and
this time, he did nothing in vain. “Oh no…” And that was
n’t
the end.
Wow,
AD-1 in his 30s decorating the sky proved that Lee Hyun-wook was here.
All kinds of things pouring out from there. The weapon flew towards the basilisk.
Sh—sh—sh—sh—sh——
But suddenly, didn’t Han Taesan jump between the steel rain?
“Hey! “I’m borrowing this!”
What he grabbed was none other than the giant sword Mowglei.
humming–!
“Oh, this is pretty heavy?”
He swung once in the air, made a satisfied expression, and then struck down the Abyss Spider with all his might. The blow created a
huge sword wind and cracked the asphalt. Sigh
!
Then, the thick body split in half and the internal organs came out. “Hey— this
is pretty useful, right?”
He examines Mowglei and licks his lips.
‘How on earth does that kind of power come out?’
Even Lee Hyun-wook clicked his tongue. He was the one who knew Mogley best and used it the most, but its power was beyond common sense.
‘Well, originally, the Moglei is a weapon suitable for warriors…’
Lee Hyun-wook quickly pulled the Mogley and brought it to him. Even if an item has an owner, if another person holds it for more than 5 minutes, ownership is transferred.
“But don’t hold on to it too long.”
“You have so many great items, but you’re acting petty?”
“…Please kill that one over there quickly.”
Next, Han Taesan twisted the 30m tall basilisk like a twist.
The scene was great and grand, but at the same time it looked so easy that it felt like a scene from a cheap superhero movie.
“Ah… that’s ridiculous…”
Ki Baekjun stumbled backwards with a lost expression. Not only did I lose too much blood, but I was so angry that my back was hurting.
Ki Baekjun shook his head. There was nothing more I could do.
No, I’ve already invested enough. It didn’t make sense to fail.
‘How is it that that bastard is holding us back at every moment?’
Now, there was only one person in his field of vision: Lee Hyun-wook.
Wow-billion–!
At that time, someone hit the back of my head and I fell forward.
“Oops!”
Oh Gyeong-pyo thrust the tip of his spear into Ki Baek-jun’s neck.
“Ki Baek -jun said he would kill you?”
At that time, Ki Baek-Jun’s eyes rolled over and heat surged from his features.
Then, his body trembled and the whites of his eyes turned black.
“Oh, what! “Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
Lee Hyun-wook looked at the scene and clicked his tongue.
As expected, the latent spell manifested and Ki Baek-jun’s brain was burned.
‘Tsk, I didn’t have time to call the saint this time.’
However, it was like cleaning the most troublesome corner of the land.
***
Lee Hyun-wook sat in the plaza of Seoul Station and looked around.
A significant number of AMT soldiers died here today.
Most of them were members of the 1st Company, whose names Lee Hyun-wook knew.
‘but… ‘Everyone has done a great job.’
To be honest, if it had been an ordinary AMT company, it should have been annihilated and breached already, but the fighting spirit of those who attacked the 4th wave was definitely extraordinary.
“The situation is over — all terrorist suspects have been arrested!”
A voice like that was heard from somewhere.
Just like that, all the incidents that took place in both Jeju Island and Seoul came to an end.
“…Lee Hyun-wook has now become a truly untouchable hero.”
This voice was Lieutenant Colonel Kim Kang-seok, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Port Horse Brigade.
“Ah, battalion commander, how have you been?”
“That’s natural, because I owe a lot to someone.”
He went on to say that the 1st Battalion is scheduled to be ‘expanded and reorganized.’
The AMT leadership has promoted the establishment of a ‘counter-terrorism specialized unit’ to respond to terrorist acts that have continued to occur in the metropolitan area in recent years, and the 1st Battalion, commanded by Kim Kang-seok, is responsible for this project. It was selected as the first case of
“Well, you say that, but in the end, since it is the unit that produced Lee Hyun-wook, it seems like they are hoping for some kind of connection with you, right? Anyway, the size of our unit is going to expand, and I will be promoted along with it.”
Kim Kang-seok was scheduled for a special promotion due to his contributions to the 4th wave.
“Ah, congratulations. I am so proud.”
“No, it’s all thanks to you, so wouldn’t it be right for me to be thankful?” It
is said that many of those who survived and grew through the 4th wave with Lee Hyun-wook applied to become non-commissioned officers in the unit that will expand in the future.
At that point, Kim Kang-seok is more satisfied than ever. It was the same face.
For true soldiers to their core, there is nothing more satisfying than the enthusiasm of unit members.
“Everyone seemed to feel a certain sense of pride and mission during the 4th wave.”
In fact, for players who had lived a somewhat neglected life as an AMT soldier, the Steel Company’s operation to protect Seoul must have been an intense experience.
He must have received love calls from all kinds of guilds, but he seemed to have a certain sense of pride, as Kim Kang-seok said, to the point where he pushed them away and stayed in the military.
“So, I want you to come often and give me some morale.”
And there was no doubt that the symbol of that pride was Lee Hyun-wook.
“Yes, of course. “I’ll go hang out sometime.”
Lee Hyun-wook was now virtually discharged. He said that there were people who felt sorry for him because he left without a greeting, let alone a demobilization ceremony.
After a while, Lee Hyun-wook was able to meet Ahn Min-tae.
“Wow, you disappeared so suddenly, how did you not contact me?”
He looked with a straight face and gave off a hint of disappointment.
“That… made me feel a little sorry.”
“Well, I understand since you are active in so many places.”
Then he grinned and raised his thumb.
“By the way, I saw you fighting earlier… but you’ve improved a lot, right?”
Despite Lee Hyun-wook’s praise, Ahn Min-tae smiles bitterly.
Although I certainly fought well, I lost several company members.
“Well, I only stabbed him 3 times… but he still leveled up?”
“You can be proud. “It’s amazing that you stabbed a guy like that three times.”
It was true. No, it was amazing that he fought back and didn’t die. The level of those black orcs was between 56 and 59, much higher than the 35 Ahn Min-tae.
‘Is this guy surprisingly talented?’
It was natural for Park Jun-mo to stand out as it was a growth characteristic other than level. However, Ahn Min-tae’s growth and performance were unexpected.
“Oh, and I too… somehow I decided to stay in this unit.”
An Min-tae also seemed to have applied as a noncommissioned officer in the newly reorganized unit.
“Yes, I think you can do well.”
I was planning on bringing this guy to the Hope Guild once he was discharged from the military, but remaining a good ally within AMT would also be helpful someday.
“Sergeant Ahn Min-tae then… keep doing well like you are now.”
Lee Hyun-wook patted Ahn Min-tae on the shoulder and said.
***
That night, Lee Hyun-wook was sitting across from Woo Seong-moon.
The topic of this event was ‘The Threat of Black Orcs.’
“…This is already the second time.”
Woo Seong-moon frowned and said,
“They have already tried to trample on our land twice.”
“And this will definitely not be the last time.”
“Yes, in that sense… war is inevitable.”
Woo Seong-moon gave strength to the part called ‘war’.
He had been preparing for war for a long time.
And I felt that the time was getting closer.
Since the declaration of war, two actual battles have already taken place.
‘That too in this land…’
If this continues, the people will have no choice but to tremble in fear, and the national economy will also be shaken. And there was a high possibility that one day I would get hit properly.
In other words, in order to eradicate the threat from the root… war was necessary.
“But Chief, when it comes to war… you are probably thinking of it as a defensive war, right?”
“Yes, we can’t attack first, so the best thing to do is to draw them out and achieve victory on our own land.”
Preemptive strike That actually made no sense.
The power of the Black Oak Kingdom is actually evaluated as superior to that of Korea.
It is currently unclear how much power it has, but the military power that was revealed during several battles with China in the past… was enormous.
But honestly, attacking their home ground was suicidal.
“Striking Shanghai directly is like putting your head in a crocodile’s mouth and aiming for its heart. In particular, the eroded terrain causes all kinds of incomprehensible phenomena to occur, causing many hardships for our expeditionary forces.”
Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
“I’m thinking about a way to play without going in.”
Woo Seong-moon could not help but tilt his head at those words.
“…How do you attack where without going in?”
“Would that have been possible in modern warfare, when ordinary weapons were useful in the past?”
What Hyun-wook Lee was talking about was an ultra-long-range weapon like a ‘ballistic missile.’
“But it’s expensive and useless against monsters.”
No matter how many high-tech missiles you fire at it, it is difficult to kill the monster. Therefore, when comparing power with the Black Orc Kingdom, normal weapon power is excluded.
“But with magical engineering, wouldn’t there be a way?”
There was a moment of silence.
“Are you saying you want to enchant the missile now?”
Of course, the method of penetrating the ‘barrier’ by enchanting a single physical weapon such as a bullet is often used and is effective to some extent.
However, the damage of the missile type comes from ‘explosion’.
That wasn’t something that could be done with enchanting alone.
“No, I wasn’t thinking of an enchantment, I was thinking of a magic bomb.”
But that too was a bit of a stretch:
“I doubt if that’s really possible at this point.”
It’s not like magic bombs like that haven’t been used before.
However, the economy was the worst and the efficiency was not so good.
Therefore, it was a weapon development formula that was virtually excluded at the moment, and
no matter how advanced magic engineering was, it was still impossible.
However, Lee Hyun-wook smiled as if he had waited.
“Director, I have a way to do that.”
That reaction, that composure, Woo Seong-moon has seen it many times.
He nodded.
“…Tell me clearly what you plan to do.”
Lee Hyeon-wook began to explain as if he had been waiting for this.
“You probably received a report about the meteorite that fell in Gangwon-do not long ago, right?”
“yes.”
“There, a buff has been granted that will be of great help in the development of item manufacturing technology and magic engineering. It is also called [Sanctuary of Fire]. And I also got an object item that will increase it several times.”
Lee Hyun-wook took out an item and showed it.
[Object Information]
– Name: Tower of Eternal Fire (Legendary)
– Effect: When ‘installing’ the object, you can obtain the following effects within a certain radius (1km). (Reinstallation waiting time: 10 days)
1) Land of Meltdown: The melting points of metals in the area of influence are greatly reduced.
2) Magic reforging: ‘Mana’ is given to molten metal within the area of influence.
“In addition, if we can move Laputa there…”
Woo Seong-moon’s eyes grew bigger at that explanation.
“Oh, and we also have gray dwarves.”
The moment Woo Seong-moon heard that, he took a deep breath.
Looking at those combinations, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
“Director, I will build a magic arsenal.”
But it was a huge industry and needed a lot of money.
“…If you provide proper support as a national industry, we will do it.”
Hyunwook Lee was now asking the government to provide the money.
So, he develops rockets containing magic bombs and bombs Shanghai.
‘Then they will inevitably advance unprepared.’
That was Lee Hyun-wook’s plan: to aim for that exact moment.
‘Also, through the rocket technology, an air drop device is put into orbit.’
It is also called [orbital drop device].
The ultimate goal was to create an
ideal weapon system that I could not obtain in my previous life .
