Episode 131 [ Ancient Gods, Main Quest – 1 ]
——————————
Lee Hyun-wook feels that dealing with the undead army is a big challenge. It was like putting out a fire.
The fire cannot be extinguished, and it quickly grows in size by eating nearby vehicles.
However, if there is a way to block the three major elements of combustion, it can be surprisingly easily turned off.
Undead do not die in most cases, and the surrounding corpses rise as other undead, adding to the army.
However, if you have ‘sacred power’, which is the power to weaken the power of death, it can be retired surprisingly easily.
‘…Of course, if the fire was not extinguished in time, it would become an unmanageable disaster.’
A representative example was the necromancer.
Crunch—clunk—
However, having predicted this incident, Lee Hyun-wook prepared a plan to prevent the disaster.
‘With the power of Saint Dome, it can overcome most types of darkness.’
I had visited Lee Hyun-wook once before to help him, but that was a top secret.
In other words, it was natural that it could not be easily expected that a saint would be waiting here.
No, even if I had expected it, I had no choice but to use a voodoo spell since I was cornered like this.
Lee Hyun-wook had taken advantage of that very moment and had hidden away this enormous support force.
The wight tree guard that strengthens the battle line becomes a solid wall and is filled with brilliant energy.
“Raise your shield—!”
Soon, with Peter Clark’s shout, the 15 leading Paladins took a step forward and raised their shields. Then, those wearing back-row armor but who were priests raised their staffs. “Spray all at once toward the front in conjunction with Holy Light!
”
Bright light bursts out from all of the weapons and coalesces at one point in the air, forming a white sphere.
Jijijijiji–
Seven thick rays of light pour out from there and sweep across the Han River.
Keeeee——!
At this, the hordes of ghouls who were rushing like crazy fell down all at once, as if they had been hit by a headwind. I twisted my body to somehow avoid the beam of light, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t go faster than light.
They went crazy and twisted their bodies in bizarre ways, like a swarm of ants scattering away from pesticides.
“—Right now.”
The moment Lee Hyun-wook shouted into the Mana Messenger, various magic and arrows spewed out and rained down on the heads of the scattered ghouls. It was an offensive from the 1st Battalion troops waiting behind. Qua—and—and—and—
gwang—— !
With the heavy drinking, the ghoul’s body, which was quite tough, was easily destroyed and could not be regenerated.
“Oh, it works now!”
Since he was already covered with powerful divine power, not only did the protection of the dark power disappear, but the overwhelming recovery speed was also significantly reduced, making it possible to inflict damage even with normal attacks.
No matter how strong a forest fire is, its momentum is bound to be reduced in a rainy environment.
“Now let’s move forward and completely sweep away.”
At Lee Hyun-wook’s command, 43 Living Armor units moved in unison.
Clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk- cropped
, 43 of the 43 units of Living Armor were at the command of Lee. And 10 of the leaders raised their large cylindrical machine guns.
‘Is that the weapon that Kang Hui-seol had newly developed not long ago?’
[Item Information]
– Name: Graverfollower (Advanced)
– Effect
1) Subspace Magazine: You can ‘shove’ 10 ‘bullet belts’ into subspace.
2) Subspace Magazine: 10 ‘bullet belts’ can be placed into subspace. You can ‘fire a bullet’ at it.
‘Graverfollower, you have the sense to name it…’
Anyway, this was a kind of magic machine gun made with a mana power engine installed inside. Since this
was Lee Hyun-wook’s first time seeing the real thing, it had some degree of firepower. I was curious about this.
And as expected, even though it was a slightly inferior 10-space unit, it was equipped with two units.
Two-two-two-two-two-two!
Salvo shooting warheads with a thin layer of adamant plated on a dungeon steel base. It was sprayed out, and the ghoul caught in the fire net was literally crushed. Although the ghoul was covered in Holy Light and weakened, it was clear that it had impressive firepower. ‘This… I think we should invest more and mass-produce it?
‘
If something like that is multiplied several times, it will become a very useful force.
And if it is mass-produced to the extent of replacing military weapons…
‘Even ordinary AMT soldiers will be able to handle powerful firepower regardless of their ability.’
An item made with magic engineering like this was nothing compared to an ordinary enchanted rifle.
At that time, some ghouls began to dodge the barrage of bullets by climbing on things like the walls of buildings or traffic lights.
“Damn, you’re so damn fast!”
It is easy to hit when targeting hundreds of animals moving in groups, but when they move individually like that, the situation is different. They jumped down into the middle of the Living Armor ranks and swung their claws.
Ka—ang—!
The basic level was much higher than that of a ghoul, and the living armor was torn like a tin can.
At that time, Talos stepped forward and swung his four arms around.
Why—ae—ae—ang——!
Five or six of them attacked at the same time, but when Talos waved his arms once, they broke into pieces.
After that, those who broke through the fire net with acrobatics instinctively rushed towards the nearest and most threatening Talos, like moths jumping into a shredder on their own.
However, the ‘Evil Spirit Seeker’, who was born from Dieble’s oxidation, was also not suffering with his eyes open.
“It’s starting to move, so be careful!”
The black awls that bloomed from both of its hands soared into the sky and rained down in this direction. The
five leading Living Armor units melted like cheese stabbed with a hot fork by that attack.
Several bullets were fired at Talos as well, but as they were of a different class, It was not destroyed.
「(]3d_d)o How dare I use the body I cherish… It’s a winner!”
He shouted and transformed one of his arms into the form of a cannon.
Kwa—ang——!
A red-hot pillar of fire shot out, and about a dozen ghouls came out. After turning it into powder, it attacked the evil spirit seeker.
But it turned into smoke and soared into the sky, easily dodging the attack.
“Wow… (v_v ;;) One day, I will be able to fly too… .」
At that time, a light brighter than anything else burst out from Laputa and caught everyone’s attention.
‘……It has begun?’
That meant that Saint Emilia Müller, who was in Laputa, came forward in person.
In other words, it was the beginning of a proper divine attack.
A wide cluster of sparkling lights spread across the sky. They were countless arrows of light.
The scene was similar to the Milky Way blooming. It was unrealistic yet beautiful.
Soon, arrows of light began pouring down like a waterfall towards the seeker of the evil spirit.
Burr! Burr! Burr!
The one hit by the barrage burned uneasily, as if he would evaporate at any moment
. Rrr——
And several arrows changed their form and became chains of light, binding the guy’s limbs. In that state, the arrows continued to hit, inflicting one-sided damage that seemed a bit cruel. Gwaaaa——
!
That is the power of a saint… Everyone looked at the scene with their mouths wide open.
But only Han Taesan was glaring somewhere with his arms crossed.
Then Oh Gyeong-pyo also raised his spear and pointed somewhere.
“But that bastard . Why are you staying quiet even though your friends are getting screwed? It’s really suspicious…”
Now that I think about it… Sumakt wasn’t stepping forward even in this melee. He was just watching the situation quite leisurely with his ax on his shoulder, as if he was waiting for something. “It’s probably a phase
. I think part 2 is about to start, but that…”
Kang Seo-yoon muttered as if she also felt ominous.
At that time, the ‘seeker of evil spirits’, unable to withstand the attack, turned into a sphere and flew away somewhere. In addition, all the ghouls that were still moving were killed. It oxidized and turned into black energy, soaring into the sky.
Ungh——
the place where all of it was headed was none other than Sumakt——the guy swallowed it all up.
Then, at first glance, an intense energy began to boil over from his entire body
. The life force energy of all the Black Orcs present was gathered into Sumakt.
“What… are you really waiting for that?”
That wasn’t the end.
He took something out of his belt…
“Oh? That… I don’t know what it is, but it’s not good.”
Oh Gyeong-pyo tilted his head at Kang Seo-yoon’s words.
“CEO Kang, what are you seeing this time too?”
“…It looks like some kind of potion, but the air around it is vibrating.”
Lee Hyeon-wook was familiar with the liquid power that shook the air in the area just by existing.
‘That’s nectar, right?’
Lee Hyun-wook also had the divine drink ‘Nectar’, which was in the guy’s hands.
‘If he drinks that, things will get in trouble.’
Choi Tae-jun, the head of the alchemy complex’s research center, drank it and turned into a terrible monster called ‘Molech incarnate’. However, if Sumakt, who is already an overwhelming boss monster, drinks it and gains the body of a god…
“…drank it.”
Crunch—crack—
at the same time, its body began to grow bigger and bigger.
“That is gigantism.”
Han Taesan said that and reflexively wrapped a blue flag around both arms.
“No, it’s not just a gigantic painting.”
Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
“Do you know what that thing you just swallowed?”
“It probably contains divinity.”
“What is that? It’s all that bullshit…”
Nectar is a legendary level consumable item. If the person who takes it is strong enough, he or she will gain the body of a god. If there is a god with whom you have already made a contract, you can borrow some of that god’s power.
‘Just as Choi Tae-jun received the power of the devil called Molech and became an incarnation.’
In that case, Sumakt… would probably be the incarnation of the ‘old god’.
Crunch—clunk—
I could see its spine wriggling, then it transformed and instantly grew to about 10 meters. And near the chin, something tentacle-like sprouted like a beard, perhaps in the shape of an ancient god.
Soooo——!
Then, the guy’s right arm snaps with a sound, and black bones sprout from inside it.
Blah blah blah——
The bones twisted like vines and transformed into the shape of a giant hammer. Its length reaches about 7m.
– Black Orc Warrior Commander Sumakt: The great warrior of an unknown ancient god (LV: 171)
…The level is a whopping 171.
Black Orc King Stonnox was at 175, so they were virtually equal.
In addition, he was a much more difficult opponent as he possessed the power of an ‘ancient god’.
‘How the fuck am I supposed to catch that?’
This was a development that even Lee Hyun-wook did not expect.
‘At level 171, most attacks can’t even make a dent.’
At that time, he took a step forward and recklessly swung the bone hammer in his right hand.
“Uh—!
Kwa—ah—ah—ah——!
Then a magic storm arises, and everything on the ground rises into the sky.
Seoul Culture Station and Seoul Station L-Mart in the right radius are completely uprooted.
And the railroad tracks It bent like a taffy stick and soared into the air like a ladder.
“I cast Link Magic No. 1—Holy Guard!”
Ugh——
If the saint and the entire Wight Tree Guard had not gathered their strength in that split second to create a sacred shield, everyone present would have been swept away by the storm.
“This ‘Holy Guard’ lasts only about 60 seconds!”
Peter Clark shouted and ordered his men to prepare teleportation magic to escape.
“Ha… crazy—how can I catch that?”
“Didn’t you just see that? “It seems like the only answer is retreat.”
Skeptical… or, in fact, frightened voices were heard here and there.
“It looks like we will have to bring all the troops on Ganghwa Island and conduct a large-scale raid.”
“But if you do that, you’ll lose Seoul too… and even Laputa could be blown away.”
“Damn, since it’s a war event in the first place, it’s natural that the final boss is ridiculously strong…”
Meanwhile, the ‘Holy Guard’ hanging over my head began to blink and fade.
“Uh… It’s almost like 60 seconds have passed. “What?”
Thump—thud—
a sumakt that had grown up to 14 meters was approaching from beyond.
At that time, after much thought, Lee Hyun-wook came up with a method that was essentially the last move.
“…Can you hear Emilia?”
– No, what on earth is that—!
A voice stained with irritation and embarrassment screeched.
She would be looking down at this place from Laputa right now.
But with something like that appearing, Laputa wasn’t safe either.
“There is a way to do anything, so please focus on healing so you don’t die.”
At those words, everyone looked at Lee Hyun-wook.
– Don’t you know what my title is? That’s my specialty. But who is it, King Kwon?
“That person should care too, but… I could die.”
– You’re so good at running away, why are you dying?
“Oh, you won’t die like that. It could be a method close to suicide by poisoning yourself.
– …Huh? I didn’t drink much today, so why am I hearing bullshit?
Lee Hyun-wook brought an AD-2 behind his back and got inside it. I took out something.
[Item information]
– Name: Nectar (Legendary)
– Effect: Unknown
‘I have nectar too.’
This was an item obtained from a secret facility inside the alchemy complex in Gangdong-gu. I
was planning to process it well and use it someday when the alchemy industry was properly developed…
‘If you drink this raw, the side effects are significant, but there is nothing you can do about using it…’ ‘
There was 150 mL in this bottle, so I only had to drink a little bit of it.
And I took out another item that was the real reason to drink nectar.
Tsutsutsutsu——
It was a black spear about 2.5 meters long, from handle to tip. It was a lump.
And it was a very gloomy object with black shimmers spreading out.
[Item Information]
– Name: Ge Bolg (Legendary)
– Effect
1) Spear of Death: When you infuse mana after hitting a javelin, it releases a ‘thorn of death’. * Caution
! When using this skill, in some cases, it may result in death.
G6e Bolg: A harpoon or javelin said to have been used by ‘Cu Chulainn’, a great hero in Celtic mythology. The moment you hit this, 50 thorns are released. It is said that anyone who jumps out and gets hit will never survive.
‘As it is such a formidable object, the overhandicap is enormous.’
At that time, Kang Seo-yoon, who recognized the identity of the item, opened her surprised rabbit eyes and approached.
“Wait a minute… Are you trying to use that now?”
“Wasn’t it given to me to use?”
“Oh, no, that’s true, but… you know that…”
During the 4th wave, she offered up a crab Bolg belonging to the Zmunnarae guild as a reward, and Hyunwook Lee got it.
“…The cost of using that spear is overhandicap, which is a lot of vitality.”
Lee Hyun-wook nodded to show that he knew.
“And no one has been able to properly use the skills attached to it yet.”
In other words, it was a legendary grade weapon, but it was a scam.
It is a powerful weapon that consumes life force just by making a basic attack.
However, if you use a skill called Spear of Death… an absurd amount of life force is consumed.
“When using that skill . Taehyuk Kim, the hero who wrote the story, is still suffering from the aftereffects.”
Hero Taehyuk Kim was the man who threw this spear at the Twin Head Ogre Champion during the Gwangmyeong Ogre Battle. He was the 5th ranked Korean player at the time and was the strongest tank that transformed into a white tiger. That day, I threw this spear and surprised the world by killing a level 98 boss monster with a single blow…
“After I threw that spear, my body began to disintegrate and I was evacuated to Saint Dome.”
And even though he received intensive treatment for six months using the power of the World Tree, he never recovered.
“If you use it now, Lee Hyun-wook, you will definitely die.”
At that time, Han Taesan approached.
“Lee Hyun-wook, it would be better for me to write it rather than for you.”
He said that with a somewhat serious face. Even if he were to use this, he would suffer serious physical damage. But he knew that in this situation, there was no one who could handle it other than himself. “Mr. Han Tae-san, in order for this spear to hit, we can tie that guy up
. “You are the only one who has.”
As Lee Hyun-wook said that, he unfastened his belt and held it out.
“If you use this, your strength will double. Oh, I’m lending it to you.”
Next, he took out the ‘World Tree Hook’, which greatly increases the pulling power.
“Tie him down with this.” “Then I will aim for his heart.”
Meanwhile, the Holy Guard disappeared and Sumakt rushed in as if he had been waiting.
Thump—thump—thump—thud—
“Damn it, avoid everyone!”
Lee Hyun-wook grabbed the pole and soared into the air.
Jijijijijijiji——
His grip was full of unpleasant pain and a force that was difficult to handle.
‘If I use this with my body now, I will definitely die.’
He opened the bottle of nectar and took a very small sip.
– Caution! You have taken the drink of God.
* You do not yet have the ability to handle the power of transcendence!
“…….”
My whole body was aching. Lee Hyun-wook couldn’t even moan due to the pain.
He turned on Mana Messenger and barely opened his mouth to utter one word.
“Heal…”
The moment he said that, a beam of light came down from the sky and covered Lee Hyun-wook’s entire body.
” omg-!”
– Damn, why did I drink something so suddenly my whole body is destroyed? Is this really a suicide by poisoning?
This was a body that didn’t fit the criteria collapsed in real time while absorbing the nectar.
She probably deserved to die before completely absorbing it, but there is a saint. The whole story was different.
The burning cells and nervous system recover in real time, giving a strange feeling of pleasure.
So, in effect, I was forced to absorb it…
– Congratulations! You have absorbed the drink of God, ‘nectar’.
* Permanent. All abilities increase slightly. (+10%)
* All abilities increase significantly for 30 minutes. (+300%)
* Becomes ‘immune’ to all abnormal status effects for 30 minutes.
* Immune to all mental curses for 30 minutes. You become ‘immune.’
I can feel an overwhelming force shaking through my whole body.
“Hehe… Emilia, thank you so much. But I need one more heel.”
Lee Hyeon-wook lifted the black spear held in his right hand
Tsutsutsutsu——
Although his body was strengthened, the moment he threw this spear, his body would collapse again.
– However, if you die safely, you can be resurrected. “You can’t avoid being crippled.”
“That’s reassuring.”
Lee Hyun-wook took a breath and ascended higher into the sky with Gebolg.
‘This is gambling talk.’
As always, there was no way things would go as he expected from beginning to end.
This time too, some variables arose, but fortunately, there was a way to respond.
And… if you could catch something like that, there would be a huge reward.
In other words, Hyunwook Lee was actually gambling.
But…
– (!) The main quest has been updated.
‘…quest?’
– Congratulations! You can get a hint for the main quest [No. 1: Black Gate Tracking].
* Condition: Hunt the Black Orc warrior general Sumakt ‘the great warrior of the unknown ancient god’!
‘It seems like I’m on the right path…’
