Chapter 172 Great Assambly, Giant Slalom 1
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
The world's attention is focused on Europe, and what happens there.
But so far, only disappointing news has spread.
It is said that reinforcements are being prepared from all over the world, but it takes several more days before they arrive in Europe and enter the front lines ...
Thus, the comfort of civilians trapped in a city sanctuary inhabited by giants is like lights in the wind.
However ...
– [Breaking News] Steel-rain, appeared in Rome ... ... Titanomachia's participation in a sudden war? "Nobody knows."
Steel-rain, in essence, the first victory was given when he appeared in Rome, hunting down the titan hoplite and rescuing isolated civilians.
– Is he here again? Steel-rain, the world's attention is on whether or not Rome's activities are right
Even so, isn't the world in chaos because of his sudden appearance in Yggdrasil City and killing other black dragons?
Shortly after, it broke, and the voice of the world citizen who wanted him to be active grew louder, but at the same time, he actually took action as if he was responding to that voice.
But in the beginning, it was only considered a rumor.
"Hey, does it make sense to jump suddenly, no matter how strong Steel-rain is? That's just bullshit, so don't worry. "
Timothy Jackson, editor in chief of the press in America, also snorted after hearing the report.
To be honest, no matter how beginner Steel-rain is, they don't jump right into dangerous places to save civilians ... ... Isn't this a very difficult scenario to understand?
And most importantly, there are many false reports like that, like where Steel-rain appeared and what he did, so we had no choice but to start doubting it.
But if there is strong evidence, something else.
"I ... Timmy, you have to see this. "
His subordinates brought the video, and when it was playing, his eyes turned.
"Huh? Wow, that's right! No, why did the man suddenly go to Rome and defeat the giants? "
He stuck out his tongue when he heard a giant metal attack on the screen.
"Huh, how can you still beat super level 110 sized monsters like that? Ah! This is not the time like this, quickly hang this on the main portal! "
– [Breaking News] Steel-rain's trip to Rome turned out to be correct after confirming the existence of the video
– A rescue operation that was even reluctant to be carried out by the EPA giant guild, citizens of the world provided support to Steel-rain, who was carried out alone
"He is ... "
Then the whole world began to praise Steel-rain once more.
Without corruption or any request, he only saves the world secretly, so it fits perfectly into the image of 'hero' that the world wants.
However, a few hours after his appearance was reported, several guilds joined in the EPU began sending press releases to the press.
The contents are that they also hold titan hoplite, and they are even more active than Steel-rain.
"...Hah? They seem to suddenly do something urgent, why? "
Timothy Jackson, a veteran in this industry, sniffed their intentions.
Then the subordinates nodded their heads.
"There he is. It looks a little cheap. They seem to be very jealous of the competition between DS and Steel-rain, but ... ... "
"They say they are heroes who carry the world, and they look nervous like teenage stars who care about the number of likes on SNS ... ."
However, as soon as I checked the assault video attached from there, Timothy Jackson, who bit the donut, opened his mouth and the donut fell on the table.
"Wow ... what? Is this real? "
"If this is real, isn't this great? "
"Joe, this isn't rigged, right? "
The video contains a process of five players hunting four titan hoplites, and shows an astounding hunting speed.
"It's like a perfect task force just to catch titan! Wow ... where did you hide that many weapons? "
First of all, something brown flows like a river on the road and ties the fourth foot of the titan hoplite like anaconda.
Hudded ——!
「门一 What is this! 」
"Looks like you're in the mud! "
They began to use violence out of shame, but the more often they did, the thicker the brown restraints.
And in the end, both legs were completely restrained, so they could not be moved.
"What, what is it, you can't solve it? "
"Uh ... do I think it's not solid? "
After looking closer, I could find out that it was 'sand', and found that the sand flowed out of the red jar hanging on the man's back.
"Wow, can there be a lot of sand coming out of that little jar? "
" ... ... At first glance, this is an unusual item. Maybe not legendary? "
Soon after, a beam of black light appeared from nowhere, bent like a magnet, and accurately struck eight eyeballs from four titan hoplites.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In other words, after blocking the leg, he took a look.
"Uh, just that bullet ... ... right? "
"I don't think it's just a bullet. "
"Yes, that's Matan, how can you be so accurate? "
" ... Is that also an item? "
And finally, a giant body covered in lion skin ran from the floor and flew.
" ... ... Hey, Hercules, what's up?"
That must be the 'Hercules' costume.
And all kinds of skill buffs are applied to his body, which is a skill from the famous class S buffer Nisha Kaif.
In this 'Omega ' Team, he was hired to unleash the full potential of its members.
right pole one right pole
Immediately, black energy came out of his body, his muscles began to expand, and he ran from the floor and swung a black wooden blunt weapon in a very large trajectory.
However ...
Bang ——!
How strong that power is, it destroys the titan hoplite head with one hit.
Bang ——!
Bang ——!
One by one, one by one, in only one room ... ...
Then, the video ends with a 'Hercules' scene that is relaxing and stretching.
" ... ... What, what, what happened? "
The process is very fast so I have to run it repeatedly to check it accurately.
However, the main point is that it only takes 39 seconds to kill the four animals.
When I watched the video for the fourth time, Tim Jackson smiled and bit his donut.
"Ha ... I'll show you this picture. "
"Yes? What picture are you talking about? "
"Gosh, can't you just see it? "
"Uh ... um ... "
"Two lights that will save this disaster, trains, etc. How, if you create a competitive structure in this way, how heartbreaking and exciting is this world at the same time? "
No matter how brutal an event such as war, disaster, or crime, it is an event that should not be missed by the media.
But, if there is competition for good between the two groups of heroes ... ... This is not the best situation to get the number of views.
"And the children from the EPU also sent us press releases like this, didn't they send us articles like that? "
" ... ... Oh right? "
"Hey, look at this, if not, there is no way to emphasize a sentence comparing the time of the Steel-rain attack with the time of their attack in bold. "
"Oh, I see ... "
He chuckled, put down his donuts, and nodded.
"Let's see where we can go, and if you plant it like this, you can do it much better than Steel-rain ... This, Edward Woods has also been damaged in the past, right? "
"Oh, right."
"This time it looks like he has sharpened his teeth, so it will be more fun. Ironically. More fun than other shows ... "
That way, the whole world began to report activities 'Steel-rain and 'Omega Team'.
And after the OMEGA team hunting video was released, the public assessment changed significantly.
– Is Steel-rain's appearance just a trailer? A true hero goes on a giant hunt! The so-called 'Omega Team expresses a glimmer of hope in the world ... ...
– [Breaking News] The Omega team, starting from Vienna, Austria, will restore Europe.
– Chairperson of EPU "We will mobilize all available resources to support the Omega Team, they are the hope of humanity outside Europe. "
– The Omega team, which shows more than Steel-rain, claims to be the vanguard of Titanomachia!
Therefore, 'The Omega ' team began to emerge as hopes and solutions to this situation.
Lee Hyun-wook also heard the news in Rome.
He analyzed their weapons by repeatedly watching a 39-second video featuring the Omega Team on his smartphone.
"Wow ... to be honest, isn't this a good level? "
"Yes. They are much faster than us, right? "
On both sides of Lee Hyun-wook, Park Jun-mo and Kim Se-hee voiced admirable voices.
"Well, if I have to ask, there are five people there, no more than the boss, but that's because we don't have enough ... "
They have caught 19 titan hoplites so far, so they know better than anyone how great it is to catch 4 titan hoplites in 39 seconds.
' ... Yes, that doesn't make sense. '
And to be honest, even as Lee Hyun-wook, I was surprised.
This is because all types of legendary 'class items ' that do not appear are currently used in the video.
'What you see in this video now is Hercules weaponry, food, and even Ak-Kelte ... ... '
In his memory, they should appear at least two or three years later.
'That means the giant guild has been hiding the items for some time. '
However, the players armed with these legendary weapons are the strongest players incorporated in major guilds in Europe.
'Even though the guild they are in is an extremist group called, it doesn't really matter. Whatever the purpose, it is true that they are one of the most important weapons against disasters that threaten the world ... ... '
But there is only one problem.
'that ... ... One of the members of the Omega team is a villain. '
His name is Connor O'Neill, Irish, class S player aka 'ruler of the sand castle ', and as his nickname, he is a man with the ability to control sand.
'By the way, I've got the legendary item, Sikyang (息 ⁇ ) ... ... This will be quite difficult to handle. '
In Chinese mythology, silkang (息 ⁇ ) means the magic sand of life that grows endlessly in Chinese mythology.
Connor O'Neill, carrying a jug of such objects on his back, had such a strong firepower that he was nicknamed 'Desert God '.
If he is determined and starts spewing sand, he can sink a city into a sandstorm.
'also ... ... The criminals also plan to use this opportunity well. Maybe at a critical time in war, he and other criminals will betray and seek support from the Humanitarian Union ... ... '
Namely, Titanomachia and the Dark Elf Corps ... ... To take advantage of these two major events, the villain also seemed to exert his final strength.
'If so, if we solve this problem correctly, we have no choice but to reveal the basis of their weaponry. '
Because the number of criminals Lee Hyun-wook has defeated so far is quite a lot, their strength must have been significantly reduced.
Of course, because the last weapon, Necromancer, was still there, he would never be able to relax.
'He must also appear in this war, and he must have prepared a way to neutralize the saints based on the final battle ... ... This will never be an easy fight. '
After swallowing one determination, Lee Hyun-wook rose from his seat, holding his breath.
Then, about 2m away, he reached out to his left hand toward the giant sword that floated in the air.
Uh–
Slowly approach Lee Hyun-wook.
Now, this moglay weighs 50 tons.
Need deep attention because it can cause some buildings to collapse like dominoes if they move wrong and are accelerated.
But even though this is a situation where only half of the power is still available, who will believe it?
– (!) Some 'Moglay (Legendary) strengths are limited because certain conditions are not met!
'Ha, it's been a long time since I don't feel like I lack metal control ... .'
Yesterday, Mowglay achieved mass release (Phase 4) and weighed 50 tons.
However, before that, one of the moglays reached 'Dragon Slayer' (level 3) and was upgraded to the legendary '', and mass liberation was also 'strengthened '.
'That doubles the ranking of heroes. '
So, strengthening mass liberation (step 4) is ... ...
' ... ... Initially, it should have weighed 100 tons. '
However, because I don't have much metal control, I stick at 50t without applying 2x reinforcement.
"And that's not the only problem. "
Number 1, Mowglay from a previous (legendary) life is 100 tons
Number 2, the original Mowglay (hero) in life now is 50 tons
No 3 or 4 replicas of 25 tons moglay in two bags
The total is 200 tons, but ... ...
– Current metal weight: 58,051 tons
' ... ... I still don't have enough control over the metal, so I can't even handle all four with maximum weight. '
Therefore, the remaining 3 sacks must maintain 'Mass Exemption ' as 'Stage 3' except 'Mowglay (Legendary) '.
Of course, as long as the metal controls increase, you can always raise the level.
'In that case, I should focus on temporarily improving my metal controls ... ... .'
But just in time, there is one way to sharply improve metal control.
That's to increase the level of 'achievement ' the giant killer.
[Reach List]
8) Giant Killer (Level 1)
– Condition: Hunt 10 Titan or more.
– Effects: All abilities (+20%), total mana (+20%), stun immunity (+30%)
'This achievement increases every time you catch 10 more, and the effect increases by an additional 2%. '
This is one of the best gifts you can get during this event.
Of course, it can be said that there are only a few players who can catch that many Titan ... ...
'I might.'
Lee Hyun-wook is sitting on the couch in an empty hotel now. He took a cup of coffee, took a sip, and closed his eyes.
Then his gaze turned to the Roman sky. Again, that's the essence of 'Hugin'.
Wow wow wow
A group of titan hoplites can be found in the city center, about 2 km away.
They knocked down a building, maybe there were people who survived in it.
" ... ... Okay, I found another group. "
Hearing his words, Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo stood from their seats.
"No, I'll wait this time. "
"Yes?"
"This time, I will take care of it myself. "
"uh ... ... You won't come out, are you in this state? "
Lee Hyun-wook nodded his head with his eyes closed and reached out his left hand.
bang–!
Then Mowglay broke the window and flew out.
"No, you don't need to open a window ... "
And it rises vertically, towards the sky.
Wow wow wow
When it reached a higher altitude than the clouds and higher than Hugin, the giant sword stopped slowly ...
hero–
Immediately the sword was tilted and the tip of the sword led to the floor.
and fall towards gravity.
Wow wow wow!
He was fired fiercely at his target like a ballistic missile, and his distance narrowed in an instant.
The group of titan hoplites that knocked down a building did not respond.
Bang ——!
The entire upper body of the titan on which it lands flew away.
"eh?"
"Opo opo! "
The other three raised their shields with confused expressions. However, no presence was detected anywhere.
I just saw a heavy sword spinning around the bell tower and flying again ... ... when they caught it, they felt fear of death.
"Ugh! I shouldn't have hit it! "
「Raise the bur, room and shield to block it! 」
'With that kind of thing, you will never be able to stop it. '
Zeng——!
The attack directly penetrates the body using a shield, then stabs the neck of the man standing behind it.
"Just die ... ... ."
When Lee Hyun-wook shook his left hand a little in that state, Mowglay was swung by a bell, and the head of the last person standing next to him was beheaded with one hit.
Bang ——!
" ... Done."
Lee Hyun-wook slowly opened his eyes and said.
"Yes? r, really? "
About 2 km away, sitting on the hotel couch, moving his left hand a little is enough to kill four titan hoplites.
However, Lee Hyun-wook does not use Mowglay skills such as 'Shockwave' or 'Mana Explosive Sword' carelessly.
They are also 'strengthened ' comparable to mass liberation, because they can do more than just leave large holes throughout the center of Rome and even destroy nearby sanctuaries.
'39 seconds ... ... .'
He said, it took the Omega team to get rid of a pair of titan hoplites.
But to be honest, if Lee Hyun-wook did his best, he was sure he could easily overcome that level.
But even now, that was enough, he did not need to reveal all his strength to the world.
If the secret weapon hidden there is revealed ... ... Lee Hyun-wook will hide it until the right time comes.
***
Two more days have passed since then.
[Reach List]
8) Giant Killer (Phase 3)
– Condition: Hunt 30 Titan or more.
– Effects: All abilities (+24%), total mana (+24%), stun immunity (+34%)
'I have caught 34 fish so far ... ... .'
Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo were also given the first stage giant killer, so it could be said they caught a total of 54, and thus managed to get rid of all the hoplite titans in Rome.
" ... I, thank you very much! "
The middle-aged man who said this was a high-ranking civil servant in Rome with the title Director of Shelter Security Management.
"I thank you on behalf of the city of Rome. We will never forget this gift! "
He almost cried, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
And behind him, a large number of fully armed players gathered, all isolated in Rome.
Of course, no matter how much they collect, they don't have the freedom to face super level 110 monsters.
However, when Lee Hyun-wook cleared the area, he came out confidently and began to build a defensive line in the event of an unexpected situation.
"Yes, good luck to you."
Lee Hyun-wook said so and lifted his body into the air.
There Fridwen waited, and Talos stood tall behind him.
Someone took a picture of the scene and uploaded it to the internet, and based on the photo, many articles were mass produced.
– Steel-rain recaptures Rome in 3 days!
But the news was soon buried in a bigger issue.
– The OMEGA team retook Vienna, the capital of Austria, then moved west "The next target is the center of Germany " Forward like a tank!
– Omega's team enters Munich ... ... Munich residents cheer for the appearance of a true hero
– Omega Team, show potential by facing 15 groups consisting of 3 Titan Hoplites simultaneously in Munich!
They are definitely faster than Lee Hyun-wook.
Maybe, the firepower of the Omega Team itself is huge, but that's because many large guilds provide full support.
– The extraordinary firepower of the Omega 5 Team, is estimated to have killed a total of 91 giants so far ...
It seems like there are only five active members of the Omega Team, but behind that, hundreds of players must have helped operate.
Not that bad. Naturally, if we do our best to prevent this disaster.
However ...
"Boss, look at this for a moment. "
While traveling north on Friedwen, Kim Se-hee suddenly held out his smartphone.
It was a live broadcast screen of some news, and at a glance, it seemed like it was the site of OMEGA team activity.
However, at the top, the phrase [Team Omega, mentioned Steel-rain] stands out.
And with the titan hoplite corpse in the background, a large man was holding a microphone.
– ... ... man, uh, may I use this broadcast to say a word to Steel-rain, that friend?
– Yes you can.
– Steel-rain, my name is Alexander Chekhov. Yes, of course you know.
He is a level 91 Berserker player, famous as the second best hero after Taesan Han.
However, now he wears the best set of tank items called, which greatly increases his strength and stamina, and he also wears Nisha Kaif buff all the time, so he must be the best hero in the world today. .
He is a representative of the Omega Team, and what he means is Lee Hyun-wook during the live broadcast.
– ... ... I want to contact you separately, but there is no way. However, recapturing Rome is a good thing. Also, do you have a name?
He scratched his cheek with his thick finger and opened his mouth again.
– But I'm curious if there is a reason to move alone like a lonely wolf. It looks pretty cool, but ... ... Uh-huh, you know that's not what's important, right?
" ..."
In that section, Park Jun-mo and Kim Se-hee, who are watching together, pay attention to Lee Hyun-wook.
– Well, if you really want to save this land, don't just look cool in front of the girls sitting in front of the TV like gay K-pop stars ...
After making a serious expression on his face, he said his last words.
– I want to tell you to join us and fight together. That is what actually happens to the world.
"One ha, do I have to say something very unlucky? "
Kim Se-hee complained, and Hani, who was sitting on her shoulder, raised her middle finger towards her smartphone screen.
'what ... ... The inside is clearly visible.'
They now provoke Lee Hyun-wook with mature calculations and tell them to submit to them.
Of course, he didn't really want Lee Hyun-wook to join, but he tried to move up to a higher position by using the fame he had built so far.
And in a few days, the world realized that the Omega Team was stronger than Steel-rain.
But then
Come on one oh oh one oh—
On the screen, behind Alexander Chekhov's back, he could see a red light appearing from a considerable distance.
Lee Hyun-wook suddenly raised his head and looked out of Fridwen's window and saw the same red light coming from the north sky.
– Huh? What else is that?
While both on the screen and outside the screen see the scene with expressions they cannot understand, only Lee Hyun-wook is aware of the importance of the phenomenon.
' ... ... The second round of Titanomachia has been opened. '
Because they captured Titan Hoplite in large numbers, it could be said Phase 2 of this event had begun.
' will start soon.'
To date, small-scale local battles have been fought against titan hoplites that have emerged throughout Europe, but now they are gathering to form true troops.
' ... ... Hundreds of the giants gathered in one place and advanced into the form of phalanx, and it became impossible to face them in the conventional way. '
In other words, it can be said that 'war ' with the named giants has just begun.
But then, the system message appeared in his eyes.
– (!) You automatically participate in the Titanomachia 'war event: Great Battle '.
"Uh, can you see it now? "
And... ...
– Achievement effects 'War Heroes ' will be activated.
"Oh, then I saw this ... "
[Reach List]
6) War Heroes
– Condition: Achieve maximum achievements in war events.
– Effects: All abilities increase when participating in war events (+50%)
'If you do this well ... ... You can even take 100 tons. '
In that section, Lee Hyun-wook imagined.
A phalanx formed by hundreds of titans… …That mountain-like violent attack ... ...
' ... ... Nobody can break through.'
However, if you put a stick of God weighing 100 tons on it and then blow up a shock wave that is comparable to it ... ... Can the bone line be maintained?
