Steel Eating Player - A Player Who Eats Steel

Chapter 157 Unexpected Precursor 3

Lee Hyun-wook stood alone in a large, dark room.

He closed his eyes and stretched his metal controls as far as possible in all directions.

It randomly detects — all nearby metals, but ...

' ... ... You really don't have it? '

Outside this room, there is not one of the smallest metals in this area.

It was a separate room in Yggdrasil, consisting only of the trunk of a god tree.

'Then it's okay to open here. '

Of course, Lee Hyun-wook cannot detect anything other than metal, such as earth or stone, but Donald Harris, a class S spirit wizard, calls 'Spirit of the Earth ' and thoroughly reviews the rocks and land nearby.

At that moment, the spirit of the wind flew in and caused Donald Harris's words from afar to become waves.

– Hmm, if it's an elemental colony, I can actually control it, but ...

The great S-class spirit witch will be able to conquer the escaped spirit colony.

– ... ... But if you do, you might become part of my family.

As I said before, Donald Harris "is prohibited from being banned from Chad's Elemental Nature.

His family members who share which with him — the spirits are also not permitted to enter the elemental realm.

– But really ... Can you control it?

"Yes, that's possible."

Donald Harris is one of the best elemental experts in the world of players, and his worries are not easily lost. Even if there is no material with the nature of the surrounding soil, taming it is another matter.

– By the way, your metal control skill ... ... Never use it under any circumstances.

His words are not a joke, if he uses a skill like 'Rigidization' prematurely, his whole body can be torn apart. To that extent, 'domination of property ' spirits are the strongest, ready to destroy themselves.

– No matter how much you think about it, you must have 'spirit affinity' or 'spirit control' to be able to control it ... ...

"Yes, I know. But I have one item that can do that. "

– Hmm, I don't know what that is, but if there is a problem, I will intervene, so know.

"Yes, thank you."

Lee Hyun-wook approached a wooden box on one side of the room.

Hi-

When I opened the wooden box, there was a large glass tube in it.

'This is a city cleaner. '

At first glance, it looks like a vacuum tube amplifier, with a fairly complicated device and a magic circuit interwoven in a glass tube. Dozens of earth spirits are trapped inside them in the form of 'nests '.

[Item information]

– Name: Prison Spirit (Skilled)

– Effect: You can trap the spirit of the country. (43/50)

'More than anything, spirits who love freedom, including 43, are locked up in this little barrel ... ... '

I have been for years forced to be locked up in that narrow place, how can I not be angry?

No, it's strange not to go crazy, and most of them must have gone crazy.

That's not all. The 43 animals 'are bound ' into one unit and cannot be separated.

It was an experiment that failed to create 'King of Spirits ' with the same passion.

'When you open this, angry spirits will come out and start to run rampant. '

Lee Hyun-wook carefully turned and unlocked the cover at the top of the Spirit Prison.

At that time-

Wow —–!

Like a fragmentation grenade explosion, the whole prison element explodes.

"门—!"

Lee Hyun-wook flew a few meters, and when he fell, he rose by rolling on the floor.

Because this is the first time Lee Hyun-wook opened it, I did not expect such a reaction.

"Damn ... I didn't expect it to explode like this ... "

His right hand was torn and bleeding. For the reasons above, Rigidization cannot be activated, but because the body is strengthened by 'strong bones ' or 'dragon power ', this is able to prevent the hand from flying completely.

Go-oh-oh-oh–

From within the prison of spirits that only the front and bottom remain, black energy appears and spins.

'They are out. '

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah—!"

"Aaaaah—!"

"Kyaaaaa–!"

A total of 43 votes, including children, men and women, filled the room.

Among the voices, the most prominent was the cry of hatred towards Lee Hyun-wook.

"Humans, humans, kill —"

"Let's cut with stones and graves in the ground —"

"Uh, where are you? "

"Wait a minute, you mean you want to kill me without realizing it now? "

Lee Hyun-wook raised his hand to emphasize that he had no intention of fighting, but to no avail.

"Yes, all humans are killed! "

"Revenge on bad people! "

"Oh, I slept well, what? "

Which saliva that sways contains life flows in like a wave and surrounds Lee Hyun-wook.

However, Lee Hyun-wook stood tall and smiled.

"So ... how will you kill me with what? "

At that moment, the spirits that emit rap like rap are silent instantly.

「 ...」

The spirits floated in the air and turned slowly, it seemed like they were looking around.

" ... Uh, no, no! "

"How can this happen? "

"No stones, no soil, no iron!"

They realize that no substance that has a certain 'trait' can distinguish it.

"No, that doesn't make sense! Space like this will not exist unless it is in the sky or at sea! "

Even his anger that was so strong that he lost his mind had to be crushed in the face of his helplessness.

"If you are looking for something like metal, what about this one? "

At that time, an object appeared from a carving on Lee Hyun-wook's right wrist.

Sissy Sissy ——

"—There he is, there he is! "

That is 'Iron Golem Core'. It's also metal, so they react sensitively.

'Metal Production —'

Lee Hyun-wook then creates metal in the hand that holds it.

"Oh— humans make metal!"

However, they were immediately sucked into the core of 'Iron Golem ' without any time for the tribes and spirits produced to seize them. Then a very small iron golem was born measuring 105 cm and 25.5 kg.

"Oh, that's a metal doll! "

"I have that!"

Because it was the only metal in this place, 43 earth spirits rushed forward.

It was as if they had found an oasis after crossing the desert, fighting against thirst.

– warning! The main rights 'Iron Golem' are lost due to unknown forces!

Yes. A total of 43 earth spirits possessed 'Iron Golem ' at the same time.

'Okay, I was caught. '

At that time, Hyunwook Lee took out another item from the left carving.

[Item information]

– Name: Athens Gold Control (Heroes)

– affects

1) Battlefield Controller: For 15 minutes, the maximum speed increases significantly. (+50)

2) Breeding Spiritual Beings: If you fill these controls with monsters, you can tame them as 'family members '.

It was an object used by Bellerophon, a hero in Greek mythology, when taming Pegasus.

Hyun-wook Lee hung it on a small iron golem, which still staggered as if it hadn't adapted.

– Use Athena's gold control to 'capture the monster's '. (Step 1)

* Temporarily greatly reduces all monster abilities. (-30%)

"Aww— release this—"

He started running around, but now he is just a small metal doll weighing 25.5kg.

Lee Hyun-wook took the photo by force and then wrapped the control twice in his hand to hold it tighter.

– Use Athena's gold control to 'capture the monster's '. (Step 1)

* Temporarily greatly reduces all monster abilities. (-30%)

And the longer this gold control is used, the greater the reduction in the monster's ability.

'And in the end, I can subdue it completely and make it mine. '

However, Lee Hyun-wook had no intention of subjecting him by force. That's because he can't bring out the power of the spirit to the maximum if he does, and he can be betrayed at any time, so it's very dangerous.

"Now, why aren't you calm and listen to me? "

"Hey hey— release this—!"

"I was caught again this time ... ... "

"No, I don't want to be locked up anymore! "

"If you sign a contract with me, I can grant your wish! "

"what? Did you make a contract with us? "

"You don't deserve it! "

"By the way, don't you need to listen? "

"Yes, listen, your wish ... revenge, right? "

"Shut up-!"

"I will not kill any human being, but will I help you kill the person who imprisoned you? "

At that time, resistance was felt to have softened somewhat.

"Uh, what now, what? "

This seems to have stimulated their desires well.

"You say, what can you do for you? "

"Ah, that's frustrating ... Just listen! "

In the midst of the various sounds that flow, there are also sounds that have not been separated from their reason.

After releasing some pressure on the golden control, Lee Hyun-wook spoke in a very relaxed voice.

"You guys, remember? A place called the Spirit Witch Association, and the Black Elementalist ... "

The Black Elementalist here means those who subdue spirits by force and treat them like slaves. Those who have such tendencies carry out terrible experiments on the 43 spirits.

'Current vice president of the Spirit Witch Association, and women who will later become heads ... ... .'

He is one of the main villains that Lee Hyun-wook must face someday.

"I remember, that bad girl —!"

"I have to kill those children ... ... "

Either arrested by force or because they were persuaded, they knew who their enemy was.

Hyunwook Lee focused on that, anger — stimulated the most powerful desire for revenge.

"Yes, I will give you a chance to kill them, I promise with my life. "

"that ... I, really? "

"No, don't believe me!"

"But I want revenge! "

"And I will take all the Spirits from their children, and help you become the King of Spirits. "

As humans have the desire to actualize themselves, all spirits have the dream of becoming king of spirits.

"But how well do you make promises like that! "

"Yes, you mean we have to trust someone who isn't even a spirit witch? "

"Haha— yes, yes ... "

At that time, Hyun-wook Lee made metal from his body into 2 kg of iron beads.

– Use Athena's gold control to 'capture the monster's '. (Step 1)

* Temporarily greatly reduces all monster abilities. (-30%)

"Oh, that's a metal that can be driven! "

"Can you drive? Where to, if you can. "

The earth spirit colony began to pull the metal, and Lee Hyun-wook reached out his left hand.

Uh–

An iron ball shakes here and there in the air ...

hook— chin—

But in the end, where he arrived was in the palm of Lee Hyun-wook's hand.

"Uh, what!"

Now, their strength has been reduced by half, and their anger has subsided.

Lee Hyun-wook's ability to control metal can outperform these people's ability to control attributes.

"Hah— that's a pretty good level of metal control! "

"What, you look stronger than us? "

And creatures called spirits are quite proud of the 'region ' they face.

In this case, if you defeat them in the fight over the power of the earth's attributes, there is a high probability of getting recognition.

"Yes, with my strength, can't we kill them together? "

"To be honest, I think this is possible ... ... "

"Then why did you do such a good thing? "

– Do you want to make 'contract ' with Elemental Hive of Earth? (Y/T)

* Land Element Nest now has the right to 'share ' where you are.

* You are not an Elementalist, so you cannot get additional effects.

Anyone can make a contract with the spirit, but unless it is the nature of the spirit witch, the contract is almost non-existent. Sure enough, as a player, there is no need to borrow the power of spirits that are outdated and unsuitable.

'But if it is the spirit of the earth, it will achieve the best synergy with my abilities. '

blah blah–

After removing the metal from the iron golem, Hyunwook Lee only found the point.

However, strange symbols began to be engraved on the surface.

'Item information has been changed. '

[Item information]

– Name: Elemental Ship (Special)

– Effect: unknown

Because Lee Hyun-wook is not a spirit wizard, he needs a separate room so the spirit can stay.

The spirit of the earth has changed it so that the core of this iron golem can do its work.

"All right, from now on, your name is ... Maruda."

Maru, in pure Korean, means 'world'.

"Hmm ... ... Is this too strange? What does it mean? Everyone is angry about it. "

" ... ... That doesn't mean much."

"And is that the contract condition that you named? "

"No, just use the floor. "

Shortly thereafter, on one side of the wall of the room — the stem began to open from side to side.

And from there, Donald Harris entered.

" ... you, maybe prophetic nature? "

He asked the question, and Lee Hyun-wook had no choice but to make a confused expression.

"Besides that, how can you do such strange things all the time? "

"Haha— right? There is always a little luck. "

"To be honest, I didn't think you would tame a spirit colony ... "

He said, with a frowning face, a little annoyed.

But what is behind that expression is a strange miracle.

"Hmm— it seems that Emilia highly praised him until he fell in love with a man. ....."

***

"So, I'll give you a first-class spirit stone as a down payment, right? "

Maru asked in the backpack behind Lee Hyun-wook's back.

"Yes, so keep quiet for a while. Looks like I'm talking in the air. "

Hyunwook Lee is running in 'commercial district ' Yggdrasil. And, of course, he wears camouflage to hide his identity, but he must be careful, because the environment is around him.

"Hey, should I write in the contract that reciprocal communication is important? "

" ... ... You have long been imprisoned in the Spirit Prison, so why are you OK? "

"Hehe— Don't you think this is a crazy look? "

Oh, maybe.

"After all, first-class spirit stones are always good for you, right? "

"Yes, but ... do you think it's a bit expensive for a contract down payment? "

'0| Son, are you a little smart? '

The reason for trying to save expensive high-class spirit stones is for certain requests.

The next day, I will enter Chad's Elemental Nature, and I must leave these people to guide me.

'At that time, things might get out of control because I had to leave everything to this person's guidance. '

Maybe those crazy spirits have different thoughts, so it's important to defend their hearts.

That way, it is money. If you stick to this person, good things will fall ... ...

"Hmm, by the way, stay still for a while. "

Hyunwook Lee is looking at the magical city of Yggdrasil in the Republic of Chad from Hugin's perspective.

I have visited this beautiful city several times in my previous life, but this is the first time I have seen it as intact as it is now.

Buildings with a refreshment with a suitable combination of white and blue give a strange sense of stability.

'When I first came to this area, it happened after several major terrorist attacks. '

And at that time, the atmosphere was terrible because Saint, one of Yggdrasil's axes, had also been killed.

'Isn't the South Tower currently okay? '

The South Tower, called the horse tower to the west, is high enough to be seen from a distance.

Then, when the World Witch Players Forum was held there, a criminal launched a terrorist attack.

"Oh— Elementalist there has a lot of potential, right? "

Hearing Maru's words, Lee Hyun-wook turned to one of the aisles.

There is a stall in the dark alley, and the owner is a player.

– Players (LV: 34)

And the three people standing in front of him are also players.

– Players (LV: 29)

– Players (LV: 41)

After all, the number of players on the streets of Yggdrasil is as much as the number of ordinary people.

Maybe because players from all over the world come to study or travel.

'But when the invasion begins, they will all flee ... ... .'

There are some players who are quite plunging into disasters that have nothing to do with them.

However, at that time, an unexpected variable was caught in Lee Hyun-wook's view.

"Huh?"

This time it's not a player, but a monster.

To be precise, it is a monster that 'polymorphs ' as a player.

Even... ...

– Dark Fairy Spirit Witch (LV: 61)

" ... ... What else is this? "

And it's not just one or two.

We walked at a certain distance, in the car, drinking Coke in the restaurant ...

– Dark Fairy Forest Warriors (LV: 59)

– Dark Fairy Forest Hunter (LV: 41)

– Dark Fairy Forest Hunter (LV: 48)

Apparently, the Dark Elves came to conduct an initial investigation before the invasion.

'If that's the case ... ... Did you accidentally step on its tail? '

Lee Hyun-wook began to quietly follow them.

And because I heard their conversation through Hugin, I caught a shocking word.

– ... ... Princess of elemental king, secured.
