Episode 71. [ Seoul, Devil, Saint -5 ]
————————=
Attacks that exceed expectations are always effective. When an offensive was launched using unfamiliar methods
, such as timing to catch the enemy off guard, tactics unknown to the enemy, and new concept weapons, the enemy
had no choice but to lose the ability to respond.
‘So dealing with players, or PVP, is a very difficult area.’
Once a monster has been attacked, it is easy to deal with it again as the ‘raid’ strategy has been established, but as players prepare creative skill-item combinations, unexpected situations are bound to occur frequently.
‘That’s the reason why the shadow baron’s bizarre portal skills always work.’
In the same sense, when the ‘air drop device’ erupted from Lee Hyun-wook’s hands and rose into the sky, the dozens of gunmen who were rushing towards the saint had no choice but to stop without realizing it.
“…What is that?”
This is because it was an item they had never seen before.
And there….
sh—sh—sh—sh—sh——!
No one expected that ten iron balls would burst out and fly towards them.
“-uh?”
“Damn it!”
It was a shocking scene, as if a dozen shotguns had fired 12-gauge bullets at once.
“100 million!”
“Oops!”
About half of the attackers bled in the attack.
‘But the iron ball alone cannot retire players of that level.’
It was unreasonable to expect as much destructive power as a bullet propelled by gunpowder explosions.
Of course, unlike the bullets of regular weapons, it was clear that iron balls made of this magic metal could neutralize the most basic defense shield called ‘barrier’ applied to monsters and players.
But that’s all. To be honest, the ‘killing power’ was not that high.
Hyunwook Lee himself knew that better than anyone else.
‘Anyway, the most important thing in the first attack is to shake their eyes.’
Sure enough, many of them bowed their heads and covered their heads, wary of the iron balls.
The real attack started now.
Lee Hyun-wook tilted his left hand palm up and his right hand tilted his palm down.
Then the iron orb moved back and forth in the air, half down and half up.
In other words, they placed them under their feet and above their heads, and then…
“Shred!”
“Pull-bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble!
Iron balls with a diameter of 4.5 cm exploded all at once.
It was as if dozens of mines exploded on the floor and dozens of grenades exploded in the air at the same time. They had no choice but to be showered with metal pieces.
” Aaaah- my my eyes—!”
“Ugh, my legs, my legs…”
Only Okita Kaito sensed the attack and leapt back and swung his sword.
Hung——!
A sword wind arose, and all the pieces of metal flying towards him flew away.
However, there was no gunman who could show such sharp response ability.
While they were losing their senses, a pale note was fired at Lee Hyun-wook’s waist.
Shhh——!
Magic arrows cut through the chaos and pierced the backs of the men’s necks one after another.
Puff – Puff – Puff – Puff –
Pale Note, unlike iron beads, was an item with a certain killing power. Among the items, there was one that blocked the metal pieces with a magic shield, but it was useless in front of Pale Note, which ignored ‘magic resistance’.
With just three combined attacks, half of the group collapsed before we knew it.
“No, this is only the beginning. What if I’m already half asleep?”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and closed his eyes.
The detection target is two aerial drop devices, each of which contains 30 weapons, a total of 60 weapons.
– ‘Air drop device (prototype)—small subspace creation device’ and ‘synchronization’ *
The available operations are as follows:
1) Item storage
2) Item delivery
Since Lee Hyun-wook was ‘mana connected’, he was able to use ‘subspace’ even without direct contact.
– No. 1 Small subspace device (item in storage) : 60)
* Mogley (Heroic)
* Achilles’ Spear (Heroic)
* KG19 (Advanced)
[…and 57 other items]
– Small Subspace Device No. 2 (Items in storage: 60)
* KK11 (Normal)
* Ordinary long sword (normal)
* solid spear (normal)
[…and 57 other items]
Without needing to check the details, he pulled them all out at once.
Weeeee——
A subspace was created on the bottom of the airdrop device. The portal opened and all kinds of weapons began to fall.
Hung— Hung— Hung— Hung—
They turned right before they hit the ground and lined up in the air,
roaring as if they were going to jump out at any moment, like a formula car on the starting line. He dropped it.
Lee Hyun-wook retrieved only one Achilles spear and placed it as an ‘imprint’ in his left hand.
Then, the moment he extended both hands forward and gave the starting signal,
whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh——!
A total of 59 spears . The weapon shot out horizontally.
At the center of it all was the giant sword ‘Morgley.’
Bur—bur—bur—bur—buck——!
That huge piece of metal cut six people in half with just one straight movement.
And The remaining 58 weapons also found their respective targets and hit them with their pointed heads.
Puff-puff-puff-puff-puff-puff-puff!
Dozens of people fell to the ground like infantrymen being hit by machine gun fire.
At the sight of this, Peter Clark and other high-ranking people fell. The guards could not hide their surprise.
“This is ridiculous…”
“How on earth can you use so many weapons so freely…” Although
he is clearly guarding the ‘gap’ alone, his firepower is as strong as that of dozens of men combined. It was like
that. They didn’t move a single step while trampling dozens of enemies.
‘Do you really think he can stop it on his own?…’
Peter felt sweat forming on his hands as he looked at Lee Hyun-wook’s back.
‘Yes, please… prove that I underestimated you…’
While he was thinking that, Lee Hyun-wook’s fierce attack came to an end.
There was nothing alive in his canvas, and a sea of blood had formed before he knew it.
Now, only the two men, Lee Hyun-wook and Okita Kaito, were glaring at each other.
‘…It’s real from now on.’
Peter thought so.
Even if Lee Hyun-wook wiped out dozens of people in one go, it was useless if he couldn’t stop Okita Kaito.
No, in the first place, the rest were just bait to buy time for him to approach the saint.
visor–!
At that moment, the only sound of the collision was Lee Hyun-wook, who took the lead.
He moved Palenote and aimed at Okita Kaito’s back, but he knocked him out very easily.
‘As expected, he is not the kind of person who can fall for such shallow actions…’
Lee Hyun-wook did not move his giant sword Moglei.
There was no way a person as skilled as Okita Kaito could have been hit by such a blunt attack. That’s why I didn’t plan on showing off his specialty of manipulating multiple metals and throwing them at the guy.
‘If you pay attention to that… your head could be blown off in an instant.’
When dealing with the best swordsman like that, using multiple metal weapons is actually poisonous.
Rather than focusing on attack, I had to concentrate on defense one by one to protect my neck.
Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook focused the explosive sensation of ‘Hugin’ only on Okita Kaito.
“hey! “I don’t have time to relax, but you probably didn’t hear me say there were 5 minutes left, right?”
Behind him, the Shadow Baron shouted that.
Blocking the government’s support troops by himself seemed to be slowly becoming a burden.
And the expression of traitor Carlos Belfort standing next to him also became stiff.
However, Kaito Okita still had an expression full of composure.
“Don’t worry, we’ve finished analyzing that guy. Just swing it once and it’ll be over.”
He was openly saying that he would kill him with one blow.
‘This means that he believes in subspace artillery.’
It is a deceptive ‘deception technique’ that has cut off the heads of numerous powerful people, including Sentai Sword Master Guk Pyo-seong.
A mechanism that can never be countered if you do not understand its operating principle…
‘But I know the principle well. The moment it fails, He’ll be embarrassed.’
Lee Hyun-wook was already holding the Unsaamsu in his right hand, but he pulled out one more sword.
However, Okita Kaito, who was looking at him, suddenly frowned.
“Ha, two swords… you’re joking. Do you know what that means?” ”
He seemed to have a bad feeling about having two swords drawn against him.
“Having more swords doesn’t mean it’s better—!”
After saying those words, the guy kicked the floor.
Suddenly,
the distance narrows by several meters.
Lee Hyun-wook raised both swords in both hands and took one foot back.
At that very moment, the blade flew towards the right side of Lee Hyun-wook’s neck, and
Lee Hyun-wook raised the sword in his right hand and took a blocking stance.
However, there was no clash of weapons.
Ugh—
the sword disappeared into subspace for an instant, then passed through the Unsuamsu and reappeared.
Just before the knife touched the back of Lee Hyun-wook’s neck—
Chae—Ang——!
An unexpected crash sounded.
“-what?”
It was Lee Hyun-wook’s second sword, KG19, that blocked Okita Kaito’s dagger that passed through Unsaamsu.
“How on earth did you….”
“Why? “Is this your first time seeing dual swords?”
As usual, when you swing your weapon at a weapon, you think you’ve blocked it and prepare for your next move.
That was cognition.
That’s why all swordsmen had no choice but to be helpless at Kaito Okita’s strike, which cut through the sword. However, Lee Hyun-wook defended the same area by moving both swords at the same time, as if he knew it. So I passed one, but got caught in the other one.
‘It is impossible to utilize the sub-space twice in a row in that instant.’
Okita Kaito took a step back and straightened his posture.
“What are you…?”
The guy kept his expression as calm as possible, but couldn’t stop his facial muscles from twitching.
That meant he was feverish, or to put it another way… he was embarrassed.
Lee Hyun-wook smiled leisurely.
“This isn’t the original swordsman, what is it?” “You were a slut?”
When he said that sarcastically, the guy’s eyebrows twitched.
“What now? Hey, you rock….”
“What is Geomseong doing while committing such a crude fraud… Do you have a conscience?”
“…I’ll rip you to death right now!”
With his eyes lit up, the guy rushed towards him and swung his knife towards Lee Hyun-wook’s head.
visor–!
This time the two blades clashed quite honestly.
‘This was hit by a part.’
Lee Hyun-wook had a hunch.
‘Okay, the next blow starts from the other hand.’
However, he did not turn his eyes towards that direction.
‘If he knows that I noticed, he’ll pull out a different move—’
In fact, I could feel it without looking away, thanks to ‘Hugin”s expanded senses.
I felt every detail, including the fact that his right hand was grasping the air and pulling out a katana from subspace, and that it was falling like a thunderbolt toward the left side of Lee Hyun-wook’s neck.
However, Lee Hyun-wook did not intend to avoid the attack.
If the sword-to-sword battle continued, nothing good would come to Lee Hyun-wook.
In other words, we had to raise the odds.
‘Catch and hit.’
He let go of the KG19 he was holding in his left arm, concentrated all his strength on his left arm, and grabbed the back of his head with his palm. It was the ‘blocking’ posture of martial arts, covering the entire head with one arm.
As it is a technique to block a punch, it would be crazy to assume this stance when blocking a weapon…
‘It’s a different story if your body is as hard as steel!’
K— Kang——!
The sound of metal being torn was heard as its blade hit Hyunwook Lee’s lower arm.
“Pfft—”
The damage was stronger than expected. The strong body was crushed, and the blade tore into Lee Hyun-wook’s muscles.
Fortunately, it ended there.
Because the body armor was so thick, the unfortunate event of the entire arm being cut off did not occur.
‘Now it’s my turn!’
Immediately after, KG19, which was free-falling toward the floor, was fired at its lower body.
This time, it was Lee Hyun-wook’s deception technique called ‘Hidden Sword’.
However, the guy took his foot back with incredible reaction speed and narrowly avoided it.
‘No, there’s still one more step!’
Sigh——
Achilles’ spear,
which had been engraved on his right wrist a little while ago, came out and aimed at the guy’s abdomen.
As expected, the guy succeeded in catching the blow and quickly twisted his body.
However, due to the repeated ‘unexpected moves’, my concentration and posture had already been disrupted—
wow—!
Achilles’ spear succeeded in cutting through the creature’s side.
“Ugh!”
The guy hesitated and tried to step back.
However, something fell behind him and blocked his escape route.
thud–!
It was an airdrop device.
“shit!”
Another unexpected look in the male’s eyes shook.
He took a step to the left and tried to escape.
At that time, a male and female cloud flew towards his head.
Chang——!
Of course, he easily knocked it away. ….
“Huh?”
It wasn’t Lee Hyun-wook who wielded it.
I just pretended to swing it with metal control.
‘I can’t believe I missed this—!’
The guy was embarrassed once again. If it were normal, it was something I would have naturally noticed.
After giving a kind of ‘fake motion’, Lee Hyun-wook ran up close and put both arms under the guy’s armpits. And tightly wrapped around his upper body.
It was the so-called ‘underhook’ posture.
When this happens, both of his arms are completely blocked. In particular, due to the nature of swords with only the outside of the blade, the attack had to be limited.
“What the hell are you doing!”
The guy was struggling with both arms blocked.
But all he could do was stab Lee Hyun-wook on the back with his ‘pommel.’
“…When did I ever say that I would fight you with a sword?”
Lee Hyun-wook lifted his body and slammed it on the ground.
Wow-billion–!
Due to the tremendous impact, the guy lost his grip on the knife.
From here, it was not a confrontation between swordsmen, but actually entered the realm of martial arts.
Lee Hyun-wook climbed on top of him and moved like water, walking on an armbar in an instant.
“Ugh——!”
Kaito Okita, an arm-breaking technique, seemed to have no martial arts knowledge to defend against it.
Enemy——!
Eventually, the guy’s arm broke and the bones protruded out of the skin.
“Aaaaa——!”
Lee Hyun-wook got on the guy’s upper body again and started pounding.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
The guy’s body was surrounded by ‘strength’, but he couldn’t withstand the strong body punch.
“Knock—knock—knock—”
Every time Lee Hyun-wook’s pounding hit the guy’s face, blood burst out from his face.
“No way…”
Carlos, who was watching the scene, shook his head with his mouth agape.
“Oh no, I’ve been waiting for this moment for four years…”
Rather than the saint dying… the sword saint was dying.
Sigh! Sigh! Sloak!
A historic moment when a giant named Geomseong could be killed by a punch—
char—left—left—left——!
A shadow crawled from somewhere and a black awl protruded, forcing Lee Hyun-wook to step back.
The next moment, the shadow enveloped Okita Kaito and dragged him somewhere.
“Hah— Damn it, Sword Saint… What the hell is going on…”
It was the Shadow Baron. He had rescued Okita Kaito.
“Fuck— Even if it went down, it went down really well, huh?”
“Oh no… I haven’t figured it out yet…”
The guy shook his head as if he couldn’t admit it and glared at Lee Hyun-wook with bulging eyes.
Lee Hyun-wook smiled slightly at him.
“I just beat you, but… I didn’t beat you with the sword, so you can continue with the Sword Saint.”
“Instead, from now on… I am a swordsman beater.”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and picked up something from the floor.
“And I’m keeping this as a souvenir.”
It was a tooth.
Okita Kaito raised his trembling hand with a bewildered expression and traced the inside of his mouth.
Several of his teeth were missing.
“Ugh… I’ll kill you…”
But the Shadow Baron made a sword attack. Rescued meant that we stopped protecting the rear.
“—Move quickly!”
Soon, government agents began to swarm into ‘Saint Park.’
“Damn, it was so twisted, but so tightly…”
The Shadow Baron disappeared using an unidentified escape technique while supporting Okita Kite. “Uh—now wait—!
”
It was Carlos who shouted that.
But the next moment, his head exploded.
The Villain side had eliminated someone who was no longer needed.
***
– A Holy Field was deployed in the area. (100%)
With that system message, a white light appeared in Seoul. It covered the entire area.
And the red clouds blooming near Dobongsan Mountain in the northern sky disappeared as if melting.
As expected, when the Holy Field unfolded, the demon summoning was stopped.
“Cough! Cough! “Ugh…”
Emilia Müller collapsed on the floor as if she had used up all her strength.
Peter ran over and helped her up.
“P-Peter… hurry up and have a drink…”
As soon as she came to her senses, she started drinking. Peter sighed as he looked around.
“Emilia, come to your senses. It was just really dangerous.”
“…yes?”
“If it wasn’t for that person, Hyunwook Lee, we would have been finished.”
At those words, Emilia raised her head and looked around.
“Ah…”
A terrible scene unfolded before her eyes.
Everywhere… there was a sea of blood.
Only then did the smell of blood hit her nose. She felt dizzy.
“Ah, really…”
She looked away like that and made eye contact with Lee Hyun-wook.
“Ah…”
She could tell.
Lee Hyun-wook perfectly complied with his request…
“…Are you hurt?”
Blood was flowing from Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand.
It wasn’t just a little, it was literally leaking all the time.
She hurriedly ran and grabbed Lee Hyun-wook’s left arm.
“Oh, it’s okay…”
“No. I know better about this. It’s not a good wound.”
Huh——
Heal. It was indeed a saintly woman’s heel. The wound began to heal quickly.
“No, Emilia!” “It would be dangerous to use more divine power in this situation!”
Peter stopped, but she shook her head.
“Peter, I’m fine. If it weren’t for this person, we would all be dead.”
“…….”
Seeing Emilia’s serious look for the first time in a long time, Peter took a step back.
“That’s right. In fact, this person once again saved Seoul… and us.”
Peter looked at Hyunwook Lee.
“Thank you so much. Actually… I was ashamed to doubt you.”
After saying that, he looked around with a bitter expression.
“Damn… It all happened because of my carelessness. Everyone like this…”
“Peter, I don’t know what’s going on yet, but let’s move the dead members to St. Dome first.”
“Oh, no way…”
“If we borrow the power of the World Tree… we might be able to save a few people.”
Damn Emilia Müller was saying that with perfectly normal eyes.
“Is that possible… would you do it?”
“It will be difficult, but it will be possible.”
A combination of a saint and a world tree could resurrect a corpse as long as it was not severely damaged.
However, if it were a saint with a sound mind and not the bastard Emilia Müller…
Peter made eye contact with her.
Her eyes were very clear now. To the point where it feels somewhat different.
“…Yes, I understand.”
Peter nodded, looked at Hyunwook Lee once, and then stepped back.
When they were left alone, Emilia looked up at Hyunwook Lee.
“…My gamble paid off. “Like you said.”
“Yes, I was lucky in many ways.”
“I expected it, but it really was like this…”
There was a glimpse of fear in her eyes. Fortunately, she had prevented the assassination attempt, but there was no way she could have calmed down considering that such a disaster had occurred while she was unconscious.
” Thank you… Actually, I was half giving up.”
Hyunwook Lee nodded and opened his mouth.
“Emilia, honestly, you owe me a lot.”
“Oh, of course… It’s a very big debt. “It’s priceless.”
“So, I’m going to ask you to do a few things from now on. Of course, you’ll listen, right?”
She nodded repeatedly,
“Of course. “Just say anything.”
Lee Hyun-wook looked around and spoke in a low voice.
“We… let’s create a secret organization.”
“What? If it’s a secret organization…”
Emilia couldn’t help but make a puzzled expression.
Lee Hyun-wook whispered very softly in her ear.
“A team will be formed to eliminate the root of this so that something like this will never happen again in the future. “Won’t you need it?”
