24. Seoul Station, F grade and S grade – 3
————————==
Inside Seoul Station 20 minutes before a player without level appears. ·····.
– Boss monsters are scheduled to appear. (00:08:12)
“If this ‘boss monster’ that appears this time also has a metal shell or something like those spiders… my ability may not work.”
Lee Hyun-wook predicted early on that his ability would become useless.
“Huh, those words…”
“You won’t be able to destroy that spider monster’s shell.”
“······.”
The reason was not explained at all.
‘Just because it’s metal doesn’t mean it can explode.’ There were metals
that were protected by magic or power, or were items whose value was higher than rare, or had a certain level of strength like the shell of a powerful monster, or were
beyond Hyunwook Lee’s control in various cases.
‘Of course, if we increase our metal control, we will overcome that limit, but not yet.’
Therefore, we must remain vigilant and continue to expand our capabilities.
“Then what should I do? Although their shells take magic damage, it would be impossible to destroy them with just our attack power here…”
The security team leader asked with a worried expression, but Lee Hyun-wook answered calmly.
“We’ll have to tie it up and rip off the shell.”
“yes? “How can you tie up a monster like that?”
“I will explain the plan from now on.”
As there was not much time left, Lee Hyun-wook explained concisely focusing on the key points and said,
“Ha…”
After his explanation, the players couldn’t hide their firm expressions.
“······Huh, I don’t know if that’s possible, but I think it would be the best way.”
“And for now, that would be the only way. “Everyone, please get ready in your positions.”
With only 5 minutes left, the players dispersed to their respective positions.
‘Raid is not about pressing with your own strength.’
Raid was a term referring to conquering a boss or dungeon in an MMORPG game, but after the world became like a game, it became a technical term referring to ‘anti-monster tactics’.
The game’s design forced players to continually face enemies stronger than themselves. Most of the monsters were more powerful than players of the corresponding level, and above all, there were many of them.
Of course, if you invest a huge amount of money and equip yourself with a huge amount of items, you may be able to win with determination, but the reality is that most players cannot prepare that much.
‘That’s why I have to use all the methods I have.’
Lee Hyeon-wook had performed the mission of ‘Strategy Team Leader’ in his previous life.
Strategy involves going beyond the gate, conquering the ‘dungeon’, and defeating the ‘boss monster’. Lee Hyun-wook remembered all the ‘strategy’, or the numerous knowledge he had learned and realized in the process.
‘This guy’s weakness is actually electricity.’
– Boss monsters are scheduled to appear. (00:00:00)
Before I knew it, the number floating in front of me had reached 0.
That moment······.
– The boss monster ‘Venomous Armor Spider (Queen)’ has appeared. Along with the system message
,
the gate began emitting a different light than before. And soon, something huge protruded from somewhere and formed a huge shadow blocking the beam of light.
“omg! “I’m out!”
It was a spider again.
However, this time it is ‘Queen’.
Quirky—
The queen spider was about 1.5 times larger than the poisonous armored spider that appeared in the first and second eruptions.
It was so big that its highest point seemed to touch the third floor terrace.
‘Not only is it big, but the paralyzing gas is probably three or four times stronger.’
Hyunwook Lee stretched out his left hand and sensed its shell, just in case.
– It is an uncontrollable metal.
‘I have no choice but to stick to the plan…’
Lee Hyun-wook stood up.
And he pulled out the ‘Sword of Clouds’.
– ‘Cloud Sword’ skill ‘Water Fog’ is available for use.
He aimed the tip of his sword at the guy and used his skill.
Fu-u-u-u-u-
A huge amount of water mist started spewing out from the tip of the sword.
However, while Kobold was sprayed omnidirectionally, this time it was sprayed straight ahead in a hemispherical shape.
At the same time, metal control was used.
‘Everyone wake up…’
The target was a pile of thousands of pieces of poisonous armored spider metal shell that had been piled up on one side – and broken into pieces the size of a fingernail – all at once floating into the air.
‘Spread and move forward!’
Woo-su-su-su-su-
They passed through the water fog and were filled with moisture.
Then, forming a certain formation, they began to fly like a swarm of insects.
It
started to react to their movements.
They would soon notice that there was prey nearby.
“The water ball is ready too!”
“Shoot right now!”
Two wizards raised their wands.
At the end, a round ball of water was created.
One of the most rudimentary skills was ‘Water Ball’.
“-launch!”
Per-huh! Per-huh!
Each 300L water ball exploded on his back like a water balloon.
Water bombs, pieces of metal soaked in water…
At that moment, Lee Hyun-wook turned his head.
Park Jun-mo was standing there.
“yes! Ready!”
Park Jun-mo stepped forward holding the wand and took a breath.
‘I can play a decisive role…!’
Lee Hyun-wook once again instructed Park Jun-mo to take on a ‘critical’ role.
F-grade privates were shabby qualifiers… But now it was different.
“Now, everyone, get out of the way as far as possible!”
Joon-mo Park shouted so confidently as he swung his wand.
“Yi ······.”
– Amount of current that can be released (100%)
Normally, I used to divide it into 4 parts, but now it was different.
The entire capacity was squeezed out in one go and made into a round shape.
Fajijijijijijijijijijijiji–
That lump of electricity shook uneasily as if it would disintegrate at any moment.
‘I continued training as Corporal Lee Hyun-wook instructed! can do!’
Park Jun-mo did not ignore Lee Hyun-wook’s advice before going on vacation.
I did pull-ups every day and went to the training center to hone my skills.
‘I can change. Even though my abilities remain the same, I can change!’
Park Jun-mo focused as much as he could to put it together and overcome the enormous resistance at his fingertips.
The feeling of collecting electricity was indescribable.
Should I say that it is as if the overflowing water is swept up with one’s hand and made into a ball?
It made no sense, but Park Jun-mo was doing it right now.
“······good!”
And I shot it at the guy.
The moment that blue sphere touches the guy’s body-
Pa-ji-ji-ji-ji-ji-!
A huge wave occurred.
As if looking at a giant ‘plasma ball’, blue currents spread out in all directions and entangled like a spider’s web. Metallic water splashed around on all kinds of conductors, destroying the entire area.
“Oh… crazy…”
Moisture weakens the skin’s electrical resistance.
A blue electric current passed through the shell and the wet part
between the cracks of the shell .
Pa-ji-ji-ji-ji-ji-!
And when you get an electric shock, the nerves are paralyzed first.
Intercepting device·······.
The guy trembled and sat down.
“······uh? “I was really stunned!”
When Lee Hyun-wook’s strategy really worked, everyone couldn’t hide their surprise.
But it was not the time to be careless.
“It will only take a few seconds! Continue with the next operation!”
Meanwhile, Hyunwook Lee had thousands of pieces of metal stuck to the guy’s legs.
‘It’s still not easy to control because it’s so small!’
But it wasn’t impossible.
These were things I had moved millions of times in my previous life.
Before he knew it, pieces of wet shell-metal clung to his entire body.
“······Freezing magic is now!”
As soon as the words fell, blue energy chunks were shot from the wizards’ wands.
They exploded near his legs.
Blah-that-that-enemy!
Ice bubbled from the point of impact, intertwining with wet metal shards.
Just as cement becomes harder when it hardens by adding pebbles –
the ice block created in that way was several times harder than ice composed purely of water.
As a result, 6 of the 8 legs were firmly restrained.
“Everyone hurry because he’s completely stopped!”
Hyunwook Lee wrapped his bag around and jumped off the terrace.
Ung –
Just before landing, I put the control in the bag to dampen the impact.
Then, I opened the zipper, detected the tip of the pile of ‘hard ropes’ inside, and pulled it out.
‘Tie your legs with this!’
This was the reason why I went to all lengths to prepare this heavy lecture.
A total of 3 rolls of 2.23mm thick steel wire 20m long······ Lee Hyun-wook moved them and tied the legs of the queen spider together in two and wrapped them around.
Steel rods can withstand enormous tensile forces.
This freed up a considerable amount of time.
“ruler! We have to rip out his shell in this gap!”
Lee Hyun-wook was the first to climb up around his waist.
Then, other players who hesitated for a moment soon stepped on the cracks and began to climb.
‘You only need to peel off one shell!’
If you do that, you will be able to inflict effective damage to him.
It was then.
“Ah shit… “If you’re going to be like this, why did you call me?”
An unfamiliar voice echoed from somewhere…
The players turned their heads all at once without realizing it.
“uh? “That person could not be…”
“······Ha Hantaesan player?”
A large man stood tall near the entrance.
‘shit! ‘You came in earlier than expected, right?’
Lee Hyun-wook didn’t care and started working.
There was no time.
Enemy!
I put ‘rigid body’ on both hands and squeezed it between the gaps of the shell with the sword of the cloud.
And at the same time as giving power with the principle of leverage, it exerted up to 17.5 kg of metal control.
“-Ugh!”
blah-enemy!
done.
The shell was torn off, but at that moment…
Me-ki-gi-gi!
He woke up and struggled.
Even though the restraints on his legs had not been released yet, the shaking of the needle alone made Lee Hyun-wook fly away.
“Uh huh! “I’m awake!”
The players panicked and jumped off his back.
‘Still, there’s a hole! I can catch it somehow!’
But what bothered me more than that was that giant figure in a green tracksuit who was strolling towards us… Kwon Wang Tae-san.
“Ha what, you’re not dead yet?”
He was loosening his neck and wrists as if he was about to rush at them.
‘······If this continues, he will get the item as usual.’
According to the original timeline, he will have a ‘heroic’ grade item from here.
I tried to intercept it, but the timing coincided ambiguously.
“This is it, what the hell were you trying to do? Hey there! “Don’t mess around and get out of the way!”
In order to somehow deal with the boss first, Lee Hyun-wook used his metal control and started moving all the sharp objects he could control.
However, Han Taesan could not be stopped.
Tung- Tung- Tung-
He kicked the floor a few times as if he was jumping to close the distance, and then threw a light left hook.
Ooh-oh-oh!
Is that really the sound that comes from a single punch?
Qua-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-
A sonic boom, a phenomenon in which air explodes while exceeding the speed of sound. With a roar comparable to that, everything in the dome that could be broken shattered.
Even the iron ball Lee Hyun-wook was controlling was swept away by the wind and lost control before it even touched the queen spider’s body. It must have been stuck like a dagger somewhere on one side of the wall there.
“I’m crazy…”
The queen spider was also thrown away and landed on the far wall.
The armor shells that could never be broken fell like crumbs.
Even 4 legs were amputated and bounced here and there.
Everyone was awestruck by the overwhelming scene and took a step back with their mouths wide open.
Sanding device…
The Queen Spider cried out as if she was spitting out death.
“Oh what… I see you have quite a bit of physical defense? “Are you still alive?”
In fact, a boss monster designed as a ‘hard counter’ in the physical attack line… I made it into a dying state with one punch… I wondered if that was something to say. He walked towards the queen spider and even showed off
his
composure by shadowboxing in the air.
at that time······.
Sigh!
Something fell from the sky and lodged deep inside the Queen Spider’s peeling skin.
“······huh? What is that toothpick? Who is it!”
It was a sword – the sword of the cloud.
Chu-Wook –
Due to the insect’s body structure, if the ‘outer shell’ is broken, the inside is very fragile.
In other words, I was able to dig through it more easily than I thought.
Chu-Wook-
Lee Hyun-Wook concentrated all his heart on the tip of the sword and plunged it into its body.
OK······.
– An unknown aura rises from the sword of the cloud. (24%)
‘It’s done.’
The cloud sword began to suck blood.
It was a signal that the heart had been stabbed.
“huh? Hey, is that you? “I would have told you to get out of the way, right?”
“······.”
He glared at Lee Hyun-wook like that.
“That means don’t even touch it in the first place, so get out of the way. “It’s disturbing.”
Lee Hyun-wook moved back without saying a word, but continued to move the tip of his sword and cut into his heart.
‘It’s okay, I’m the one who stabbed the heart anyway.’
Puk-Uk- Puk-Uk- Soon,
with a bloody sound, Han Taesan began hitting the Spider Queen like a punching bag.
With each blow,
the shell exploded, the legs were cut off, and the internal organs were ejected.
“and······.”
“That is the power of an S-class player…”
It wasn’t long before a message appeared before everyone’s eyes.
– The boss monster, Venomous Armor Spider (Queen), has been defeated!
“Ha, it’s over…”
While I was relieved, I also felt empty.
– congratulations! You survived the [Unlucky Event]!
Even though the enemy I was so nervous and
prepared for reacted according to plan, the difficult enemy
was dealt with so easily…
– Lucky rewards await those who survive terrible misfortune!
* ‘Rank’ is determined based on event contribution, and rewards are paid differentially.
In this way, the Unlucky event presents the worst situation, but if you survive it, you will be given a special reward. Most of these were things that couldn’t be obtained through regular gates.
however······.
“huh? “What the fuck?”
Han Taesan let out a somewhat dissatisfied voice as he wiped away the blood that had spattered on his face.
It was because an absurd message was floating in front of his eyes.
– congratulations! Lucky rewards are given. (2nd place)
“Why am I not first place? I’m the one who caught the boss mob!”
He turned his head and started looking at the players one by one.
Lee Hyun-wook hurried away and put something in his pocket.
– congratulations! Lucky rewards are given. (1st place)
That’s right.
The first place was Lee Hyun-wook.
‘It’s a success after that.’
No matter how many miscellaneous mobs he caught, if he hadn’t dealt effective damage to the boss monster that gave the most ‘contribution’, Han Tae-san would have been given first place.
‘The final judgment of stabbing the heart was valid.’
He grabbed something in his pocket and looked at the message that appeared before him.
– Obtained ‘Mananan mac Rir’s Secret Armor (Heroic)’.
‘This is the item.’
I only took it out when I went up to the reception room on the third floor.
I said it was armor… but it was a black, thin necklace.
However, as the name Secret Armor suggests, when you wear it and infuse mana into it, a thin armor is created over your skin. It is an item that is very useful to carry and store, but also has high defense power.
It was armor that was neither heavy nor cumbersome and could be taken off at any time, so
it was definitely the perfect armor for a martial arts player like Han Taesan.
‘What’s more, it had one more function. It was a one-space subspace, I guess?’
Another secret hidden in this armor was that it could hide an item.
‘Hantaesan also used it like a trump card.’
It was a very useful feature, as Han Tae-san, who used to punch while wearing a gauntlet, suddenly pulled out something like Mjolnir and swung it, or took out something like a mana bomb and threw it. ‘And even… it’s an armor that can grow.
‘
Since it is an armor that increases the level of hero grade,
it couldn’t be better than this unless it is legendary grade armor.
And, of course, Lee Hyun-wook did that… I swallowed it in
one gulp
.
I was thinking of absorbing all the great features.
