Episode 125 [ Absolute firepower – 5 ]
————————=
Lee Hyun-wook stands tall at 6,000 feet and overlooks Black Orc’s ‘troop concentration area’. I was watching.
The tens of thousands of black orcs gathered there were boiling loudly as if they had crossed a colony of ants. If you stretch out your foot and step on it, it feels like hundreds of animals will be crushed at once.
‘And it actually happens.’
Lee Hyun-wook had just blown away hundreds of black orcs with a single blow.
The ‘mass weapon’ Mogley dropped from a low altitude crushed the ground like a cake, and
immediately after, the creatures crowded on top of it were mixed up in the waves of dirt and buried alive.
Coo coo coo…
The sand that rose from the impact is still fluttering and making noise-like noises.
And the moment he attacked them, a system message appeared before his eyes.
– (!) The quest has arrived.
[War Quest]
– The beginning of the great war. Is it the end or prosperity?…
War You have made a mark on the first chapter of that epic story.
As a result, they are caught in the inevitable storm.
Just keep in mind! Defeat is the end, victory is the prosperity.
* Reward: Differential payment depending on war ‘achievements’
+) Preemptive strike privilege: Increase in all abilities in enemy territory (+50%) Additional reward upon winning the war
‘This… means that the participation trigger for the war event has been activated.’
Originally, this message should have appeared before the eyes of players within the Korean Peninsula the moment the Black Orc army landed on the territory of the Republic of Korea. That was the ‘normal route’ of this event.
However, Lee Hyun-wook chose the ‘hidden route’ of a preemptive strike.
Thus, he was able to receive a special benefit called ‘preemptive attack privilege’.
‘hmm. It’s an additional reward…’
In the first place, Lee Hyun-wook didn’t know what kind of reward there would be for clearing this enormous war event. In my past life, the Orc army occupied Jeju Island and the southern coast area, causing a war, but…
‘…I ultimately failed to retake it at that time.’
In other words, the war was lost. The power of the Black Orc Kingdom was so strong.
Afterwards, he succeeded in assassinating King Stonox, but that was an achievement unrelated to the events of the war.
‘No country has ever won the war against the Black Orc Kingdom…’
But this war was different from the start.
‘At this moment… I am taking the first step toward victory.’
Lee Hyun-wook raised his head as he thought so.
All he could see was the dark clouds that filled the sky.
But he sensed something beyond that.
‘Now there’s one last step left.’
The two Moglei that destroyed the podium and magic shield just before his appearance were ‘replicas’.
In other words, the ‘original’, which was twice as heavy as that, was preparing to drop from the ‘warbox’ in low orbit.
Lee Hyun-wook concentrated his mind and stretched his senses toward the distant sky.
‘It’s faint, but I can feel it. A huge cube-shaped chunk of metal…’
Although it was a whopping 160km away, there were no obstacles to prevent mana transfer, and he even placed three ‘magic relays’ in between, so he was able to maintain ‘synchronization’ with the warbox. there was.
At that time, I hear someone’s urgent voice in my ear.
-Chik—Ma Master! Wow, the wyverns are flying!
It was Yeo Sang-min. He was currently controlling Friedwen.
“…Yes, I felt it.”
Lee Hyun-wook exhaled slowly… and broke the ‘chain’ that was restraining Moglei inside the warbox.
Tung——!
I couldn’t hear it or see anything, but I knew it.
A 2-ton giant sword began to fall from the sky.
It reaches the speed of sound in just a few seconds, passes through a layer of high-density air, and is forged by frictional heat.
And as it gets closer to the Earth, it absorbs gravity and gains tremendous weight.
Lee Hyun-wook felt like he had stepped on the accelerator pedal of a truck with all his might.
And the brakes are broken… Now even Lee Hyun-wook can’t stop.
All I can do is take in everything that stands in my way and wait for it to stop
on its own… Keeeeeee——!
When I opened my eyes, there were dozens of black wyverns approaching, screaming sounds coming from under my feet.
It is a top-tier flying monster that has no opponents in the sky except dragons.
However, as long as Lee Hyun-wook is standing in a higher sky like now and the concept of ‘gravity’ is valid.
Piiiiii——
To him, it felt like nothing more than a swarm of insects that could be easily stomped to death.
Soon, a large hole opens in one side of the dark cloud above his head.
A single flash of light protrudes from there and continues to the floor in a straight line.
Fur-burr-burr-burr-burr——!
Moglai, with its full force of collision gravity, strikes the Black Wyvern formation head-on and pierces it.
Everything that was on the cutting line of its fall is cut in two and thrown out in all directions.
– Wow, crazy…
It’s overly powerful, as if a swarm of flying moths has been slashed with a sword.
– Defeat the Black Wyvern to gain achievement points. (+22)
– Gain achievement points by killing the Black Wyvern. (+23)
– Earn achievement points by killing the Black Wyvern. (+21)
‘It’s going up very steadily, isn’t it?’
In his memory, the merit score of the war event was originally not such an easy score to raise.
It seemed that the maximum contribution to the war event could be achieved with just the points accumulated here and now.
‘Still, it’s ridiculous that a large monster, a wyvern, can be defeated so easily.’
He had become so strong that the feat he was performing felt foreign.
Qua—ah—ah—ang——!
Then, Moglei crashes into the ground and an explosion occurs.
Hyunwook Lee extended his left hand toward the ground.
There was still one more step.
‘Shockwave—!’
Coo—u—u—un——!
Formidable shock waves erupt from Mowlay buried deep in the ground, causing an earthquake.
The ground, already weakened by two impacts, begins to crack like a spider web.
And in the distance, a building tens of stories tall collapses, emitting a hazy haze.
It was a scene so powerful that it could truly be called punishment.
‘But it’s still just the beginning.’
If this air raid is a course meal, the three-shot Moghlay drop is merely an appetizer.
Before he knew it, Lee Hyun-wook was holding two weapons in both hands.
In the left hand was Mjolnir, in the right hand was Sudarsana.
Both are legendary weapons that can be ‘returned’ when thrown.
– ‘Mana’ is permanently reduced by using Sudarsana. (-500)
This was an over handicap for ‘Sudarsana’.
For a normal player, the permanent decrease in total mana was fatal.
‘But I can quickly recover if I swallow the mana stone for a few hours.’
Hyunwook Lee first lifted Mjolnir in his left hand.
Hold it—and his powerful electric current envelops his body.
I raise my hand, overcoming that oppressive feeling.
Rumble–!
Lightning flashes within the dark clouds that have already bloomed thickly.
And the moment he swings his left arm, dozens of lightning bolts strike him down.
The target is a horde of black wyverns scattered here and there, and lightning strikes them on their backs—
that—that—that—that!
It was very effective. Wyverns caught by lightning lose their minds and fall.
That alone wouldn’t have wiped them out, but it would have driven off a swarm of annoying mosquitoes.
‘But just defeating it isn’t enough…’
He then picks up Sudarsana with his right hand and throws it away.
Chain-Ae-Ae-Ag–!
With the sound of the wind cutting, a 2m wide red trace is drawn, alternating between straight lines and curves. It’s not an ordinary impact. Chakra is a powerful ‘mana blade’ that breaks down everything it touches into particles.
Keeeeeeeee——!
The target is a black wyvern that even dodged a lightning strike. A circular blade that precisely cuts through their wings and passes by—
cha—ja—ja—ja——!
The last 11 who were lucky enough to survive are eliminated cleanly.
– Defeat the Black Wyvern to gain achievement points. (+21)
– Earn achievement points by killing the Black Wyvern. (+21)
.
.
.
Within a short time, 55 Wyverns collapsed like a swarm of insects that had been hit with insecticide.
The sky became completely Lee Hyun-wook’s again.
Then, Lee Hyun-wook’s gaze moves to the ground.
Three craters created by three Mowglei form the vertices of the triangle.
‘Flare Whip—!’
Soon, six red whips sprouted from those three spots.
Then, it rampages like crazy, tearing the whole area to shreds.
Qua—and—and—and—and——!
It was an impressive scene, as if three red roses bloomed and then withered in an instant.
– Defeat Black Orc Warriors to gain achievement points. (+5)
– Gain achievement points by killing Black Orc warriors. (+6)
– Gain achievement points by killing Black Orc elite warriors. (+11)
.
.
.
– It was gloomy because there were so many dark-skinned guys gathered around, but now it looks a little brighter, don’t you think?
This voice was Major General Choi Jeong-cheol, commander of the 3rd Port Horse Brigade.
“Yes, I need to pour more red paint.”
– That’s a good idea. Can I contribute a little bit now?
“Yes! “I would appreciate it if General Choi could show us something!”
Choi Jeong-cheol was standing near Friedwen’s lamp door.
He raised his staff towards the sky.
A red ray rises from the edge and energy gathers at the point where it stops.
Go-o-o-o-o-o–
The temperature in that space changed suddenly, creating a convection current, and a gust of wind blew through the area.
It grew to a size of over 50m in diameter in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s been a while since I saw Semi Armageddon.’
This is the skill that wiped out the hordes of ironclad poisonous insects in one fell swoop and crushed the Blue Dragon Mountain during the 4th wave.
‘And serfdom is much thicker than then.’
He probably would have gathered all the mana he could and created the most powerful blow.
“Then I will contribute.”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and closed his eyes again.
‘Warbox teleport—’
At that moment, a huge shadow appeared from within the dark clouds, and then something soon popped its head out.
Go—oh—oh—oh——
The dark clouds in the sky opened like a curtain on a stage. What appeared… was a huge square cube.
‘It looks like a whole crazy building was floating…’
Lee Hyun-wook It couldn’t help but be a very strange scene even for him to see.
On its surface, a complexly tangled magic circuit glowed. He exuded mystery, creating a
sense of mystery. It was an amazing scene, as if an alien civilization’s spaceship had appeared in the sky of mankind.
‘I never thought a teleportation function would be included in such a large warbox… I didn’t expect this either.’
This was the work of the Gray Dwarves.
As they had an outstanding ability to create large objects such as airships and super-large weapons, they contributed greatly to the creation of this super-large masterpiece called ‘Warbox’, and the teleportation function was one of them. Thus, in low-orbit orbit, He was able to summon the warbox from behind his back in an instant.
“Now… “I put everything into it and clean up after myself.”
A subspace opens at the bottom of the AD-2 of 30 warboxes and white light emits.
If you look up from the ground, it will look like lights are shining in the sky—
but if you just stare blankly at that scene, you will be swept away by the pouring steel rain.
Sh—sh—sh—sh—sh——!
A total of 1,355 ‘Fire Spears’ pour down to the ground.
And it spreads according to Lee Hyun-wook’s command and is evenly embedded in a wide area.
Fur-burr-burr-burr-burr——!
‘Blast—’
As he grants mana, a red flash appears from the edge.
Pop—pop—pop—pop—pop——
Carpet bombing by bombers. There was no other suitable metaphor other than that expression.
– It’s my turn this time!
Soon, Semi-Armageddon, which has increased to its maximum value, is leaning toward the ground.
Kwa-ah-ah-ah-ah–!
The moment it touches the ground, the whole world turns orange.
– Are you feeling better now?
The red colors created by these two people fill the ground, and red waves overflow.
The ground, which was gray just a moment ago, is boiling and glowing dark red.
Meanwhile, system messages announcing public acquisition appear one after another in front of your eyes.
Lee Hyun-wook disposed of 3,151 black orcs and 121 black wyverns at this location.
If you add to this the number of people killed by Choi Jeong-cheol’s semi-Armageddon…
‘…even if I couldn’t do it, I would have caught 4,000.’
In other words, a third of their troops were burned in one place.
‘But I can’t stay here forever. ‘You have to leave quickly.’
The reason this attack was effective was because it was literally a surprise—the enemy was caught off guard.
And above all, it was because the ‘final boss monster’ was not here.
Orc King Stonox… is a level 175 world boss monster.
‘He will appear soon.’
Thinking so, Lee Hyun-wook turned his head and looked at the horizon.
As befits its title as the final boss monster, it sits on the throne of the labyrinth and observes the entire situation.
But with the situation being so ruined, I had no choice but to step forward myself.
As soon as I thought that, black smoke was billowing from the western sky.
They shook violently like living beings and destroyed the skyscrapers.
‘Damn it…’
At the center of it all, a black orc was seen with a red aura all over its body.
But…
I had the illusion that I had made eye contact with it even though it was so far away.
And for some reason, I felt an instinctive fear that made me feel dizzy.
‘This is… Fear.’
It is the fundamental fear emitted by beings of a different rank, such as fear dragons.
In other words, it meant that they were of a different class.
Shaaaaa——
Then, an alien whisper lingers right near my ear.
– caution! All abilities are greatly reduced by ‘Ancient Peer’. (-20%)
– Caution! [Shadow of the Devil] is scheduled to arrive in the area!
– caution! All defenses are greatly reduced by [Devil’s Whispers]! (-30%)
– This is not good….
“The damn guy is coming.”
The devil’s shadow. The black smoke tangled here and there, forming a certain shape.
It was… a dragon. It flew in at super speed with its mouth wide open.
Of course, it was not a real dragon, but a wide-ranging attack skill in the shape of a dragon.
It’s coming like a storm much faster than expected!
‘—block it!’
Lee Hyun-wook hurriedly moved the AD-2 and piled it in front of him like a brick wall.
Kwa-da-da-dada——!
At the moment of collision, 18 AD-2s were torn apart and escaped Lee Hyun-wook’s control.
“—Pfft!”
Lee Hyeon-wook, who took cover behind him, was thrown back and landed on the lower part of the Freedwen. Even though his entire body was covered in steel boots, several of his bones were crushed, perhaps because of the devil’s whispers.
– hey! Are you okay?
“Huh… yes, I’m still okay.”
However, there was no guarantee whether the second attack could be prevented.
– Don’t you think you should slowly return to your unit now?
General Choi Jeong-cheol also shouted as if he had grasped the situation.
“Yes! “We must go back now!”
There were a few things I couldn’t show if there was one thing I regretted.
‘I haven’t yet been able to use Mjolnir’s new skill and Sudarsana’s chakra explosion…’ If I
had used those, I might have been able to kill thousands more.
However, if you hesitate, you may be consumed by witchcraft and may not be able to return.
Lee Hyun-wook took out the World Tree vine from Friedwen and connected it to the ‘War Box’.
He then raised his body and entered the lamp door.
– Uh oh… I think I’ll get caught if I don’t do this quickly?
Yeo Sang-min makes a crying sound.
Gooooooo——!
Before I knew it, the black smoke had turned into the hand of a huge beast and had reached a very short distance away.
They were going to snatch the whole Pridwen and crush it.
However, Lee Hyun-wook was faster.
“Emergency return—”
In the next moment, everything that was floating safely under the dark clouds disappeared like a mirage.
The shadow of the devil, which had become the claws of a huge beast, drew a futile line in the air.
“…….”
Black with red eyes . The Orc King Stonnox looked into space with an expressionless face. He
then turned his head and looked down at the ‘troop assembly area’ that had become a sea of fire.
***
“Hehe—that was close, wasn’t it?”
General Choi Jeong-cheol stretched out his hand and helped Lee Hyun-wook up, who was lying face down on the lamp door.
“Lee Hyun-wook… It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but the feeling has definitely changed, right? He was clearly a soldier in my unit not long ago, but now I feel like I’m encountering someone very high up.”
He said that and tapped Lee Hyun-wook on the shoulder.
“Haha… But I guess we can say this war is just beginning, right?”
His expression darkened considerably.
Hyunwook Lee nodded.
“Yes, there won’t be all Black Orcs gathered there.”
More than 15,000 Black Orcs gathered there at the troop concentration area in Shanghai.
‘But it was a kind of advance guard.’
The air strike just now completely destroyed the advance force. That would have been a much better start before the inevitable war, but at the same time, it would have been like messing with a beehive. ‘The main force will move right away…’ And this
time
. Inevitably, this land would become a battlefield.
But Lee Hyun-wook was not worried,
because he touched the beehive and was ready to catch the bees that would fly in recklessly.
At that time, Friedwen arrived at the airship port of the Order Tower . We landed in.
Talos’s voice came into our heads.
“The attack force of the Steel Fleet is gathered at the airship port of the Master’s upper residential area!”
Lee Hyun-wook and Choi Jeong-cheol went down to the upper residential area.
There were 9 airships and 12 military aircraft. The transport plane was waiting, and in front of it, the Gray Dwarves and the Airship Team were gathered and moving around busily. They were the crew of the so-called ‘Steel Fleet.’ “Maintenance of the No.
3 Airship Engine is finished!”
“We’re boarding team 11’s number 4 airship!”
But the moment they spotted Lee Hyun-wook and Choi Jeong-cheol, everyone stopped and turned their heads…
Wow——!
A passionate cheer erupted as if they had been waiting.
“—It was really the best!”
“Kh— what a great battle that will go down in history!”
They too had heard of Lee Hyun-wook and Choi Jeong-cheol’s perfect strike.
Chief Woo Seong-moon walked out from among them.
“General Choi, thank you for your hard work. “You still look like you’re on active duty.”
“Hahaha—Director Woo would also do it if he rolled up his sleeves.”
After the two exchanged greetings, they turned their gaze to Lee Hyun-wook.
“……”
This… was an awkward scene, as if the two top commanders were waiting for Lee Hyun-wook to speak.
Lee Hyun-wook cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Chief . Are you ready for what I said?”
Woo Seong-moon nods his head in response to Lee Hyun-wook’s question.
“A total of two division-level troops have been deployed to islands in the West Sea, including Ganghwa Island.”
Then Lee Gyo-jun, who was standing behind Woo Seong-mun, asked,
“But really… will the Black Orc forces land on that island?”
Lee Hyun-wook nodded without hesitation. Confidence flashed across his face.
“From what I know, yes.”
Lee Hyun-wook said that he saw some hints in the Black Orc ‘ancestral relics’ stored in Laputa.
Of course, that was a plausible explanation, and the source of the information was naturally memories of a past life.
‘As far as I know, the Black Orc invasion was It always starts on an island.’
The first step of their invasion was to use a certain ‘totem’ to cause erosion in the invasion area. By doing
so, they turned it into a ‘wasteland’ terrain that gave them an advantageous buff and used
it as an outpost. Also, when ‘one piece of land’ was completely eroded, the ‘conqueror’ You get a powerful buff effect called ‘army.’
Here, a land could be called an ‘island’ or a ‘continent.’
‘And it is easier to conquer an island than a continent. Of course, the buff is greater on the latter.’
Even when they swallowed up Shanghai right after the second wave, they used Chongming Island as their starting point.
‘When they invaded our country in a previous life, they also attacked Jeju Island first.’
However, this time, they have a clear goal called ‘Laputa’, so they will hit a place as close to Seoul as possible.
In other words, they will take their first step somewhere on an island in the West Sea.
‘They will probably descend in the thousands using the shadow of the devil.’
That deceptive skill was a skill that could only be performed by using hundreds of Black Orcs as ‘sacrifices.’
If you used it, there was virtually no way to prevent the landing of the Black Orc army.
At that time, someone’s voice came through Team Leader Lee Gyo-jun’s mana messenger. .
– Chick— This is the 4th team of Bihyeongrang, and the ‘Fire Spear’ and ‘Iron Golem Core’ were buried on the coast of an empty mountain area on every island in the West Sea. All burial locations will be uploaded to a level 1 security server. Above— “
… The landmine planting you mentioned has also ended.”
No, to be precise…there was no intention to stop the landing of the Black Orc army.
