Chapter 175 Exposure 1
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After all, in the midst of the turmoil of an age, there is always someone who is called 'hero'.
As revolution leaders, war heroes, state founders, etc., for example, they use the extraordinary intelligence of someone to subdue their contemporaries and achieve achievements.
But, if you think about the situation of those on the opposite side, how can you stop the existence of 'hero' who has become an unstoppable threat with such extraordinary performance?
The easiest way is to get rid of the hero itself ... ...
That is 'murder'.
Now, at the Omega Team camp in Dresden, hero elimination operations are developing.
" ... ... So far, there have been several attempts to eliminate Steel-rain, but all of them have been unsuccessful. "
A man is talking to the crowd in the dark. And the room where they gathered was covered with which streams were strange, and strangely there was no air flow at the border.
The reason is magic 'silent ', which blocks all sounds from its source, arranged in three layers.
"No, what item should you respond to like that? "
" ... ... Choo Kyo-yong, Ki Baek-jun, Red Berserker, Swordsman, and even Shadow Baron were all defeated. "
Steel-rain Lee Hyun-wook, whose name is now the biggest thorn among criminals.
How many times have you hit him so far? But they all eat defeat.
And with every failure, the strength of the villain must be reduced.
In this case, the operation aimed at Steel-rain becomes a poisonous holy grail from the point of view of the villain.
"But now it will be different. In the past, when we attacked him on the battlefield ... that is, we only targeted him when he was fully armed and alert and we get defeated. The 'Hoogin ' item may show him things beyond imagination. "
It was a man named William Cain, an early member of the villain, who calmly analyzed the problem.
As an executive who had long infiltrated the EPU and became a stepping stone to European domination, he was quite aware of how the criminal organization was aiming at Lee Hyun-wook and how it failed.
"And he usually live in Laputa and we don't have the chance to aim for him properly ... "
"But now ... he spends an unattended night right in front of us. "
"Yes, that too, his safety is fully entrusted to others. "
This time it was truly a perfect opportunity from heaven, thought William Cain.
" ... ... So are you ready to start the Magic Scrolls of Hellfire that will melt steel? "
Hearing the question, a man standing in a corner stepped forward.
"Yes! Now they say you just provide it mana and it will work right away. "
"Okay, now at 1 am ... we will start operations slowly. "
At dawn, he is most likely sleeping, and even if not, it is the most alert time.
Of course, the Omega Team camp here has dozens of spotlights, a number of security forces on patrol, and the area is covered with many layers of magic shields, making it impossible to penetrate from the outside.
"But no one thought that a problem would arise from within. We target the blind spot. "
"Uh-huh— And if it is Hellfire ... no matter how bad, he will not be able to overcome it. "
Here, Hellfire, which literally means hellfire, is the highest level of attack magic in the fire class.
However, if you put it in 'Magic Scrolls ', anyone can use it just by providing mana.
Of course, putting that great skill into a magic scroll is not something anyone can do.
'It was resolved by extorting and extorting mana until their lives were threatened by 8 Class A wizards. '
Initially, it was an item prepared specifically to deflate the entire Omega Team at the end. But according to William Cain's judgment, dealing with Steel-rain is more important than that.
A few moments later, someone's voice came from mana messenger William Cain.
– As a result of the use of creature-detecting magic, Steel-rain and his group are all in the hostel and they have not slept.
Still in the hostel meant they were completely unaware of the threat that had befallen them.
"Okay, we just hold that limited, and don't watch too much. That bastard ... As I said earlier, he can know our intentions with the same odd numbers as I said earlier, so we must be careful. " maybe."
– If so, can I start Hellfire Magic Scroll now?
" ... ... use."
– Yes!
" ..."
About 10 seconds later, a bright red light shone on the darkness of the dawn that fell outside the window.
Wow-ah-ah-ah-ah–!
There was riots and vibrations that seemed to overturn the whole world, and at a good enough distance of 5 to 600 meters, I could feel the air heating up as the windows of the criminals' dormitory broke out at once.
"Hah— it looks like the volcano erupted right in front of you."
" ... ... With this destructive power, nothing is left behind. "
This is the power of the strongest fire skill called Hellfire ... ... Even the mastermind who blew it up admires it.
"Damn, it's fire!"
Immediately the noise outside the window began to sound, the players turned off the lights.
However....
"Hey, that's ... not just fire, this is magic! "
"What? Does that mean attack, not accident? "
The fire that scorched as many as 5 buildings in one blow and quickly gnawed at the remains of the building and enlarged ... ... The players, who felt the extraordinary intensity emanating from the fire, would inevitably be astonished.
If it is ordinary fire, no matter how big, it will be able to evolve into various types of magic.
But fire is born with the power of magic ... ... If it's a high-level skill, the story is different.
And soon, level B wizards or higher know the true nature of magic fire.
"—Fuck everything, don't get too close! That's 'Hellfire '!"
Hellfire, few people have seen it firsthand, but no one is unaware of its fame.
"Hey, Hellfire ... that's ridiculous!"
"Why did that happen here! "
Hellfire is more devastating than other fires and is not easily extinguished ...
"But are you still stuck inside me? "
" ... ... The center there is S, Steel-rain hostel! "
When his name appeared from nowhere, the murmur grew louder here and there.
"What? Damn, who's after him? "
"Yes, that is hellfire skills ... "
Soon after, war reporters came out and began broadcasting the scene live.
"— Emergency news! This is the Dresden Omega Team camp ... "
Just yesterday, the sorrow that the savior hero of the world experienced an explosion spread throughout the world.
"Hah— he's still inside! We have to save him! "
"Come on, move! You can't lose Steel-rain! "
Most of the players who live in the Omega Team hostel here have bad feelings towards Steel-rain, but they don't want the person who is currently considered the strongest person in the world to die.
Soon, a dozen magicians cast spells together, and a large magic circle is born in the sky.
"Come on, pour out all your men to develop Hellfire early! "
Shoot-ah-ah-ah–!
Rain began to fall from the magic circle, a stronger flow from other fire fighting equipment. However, as the river flow touches the Hellfire, there is an explosion and the fire is spreading.
Feather-uh-hah–!
It was a symptom of a steam explosion, and at the same time the spark of Hellfire spread in all directions.
"Sh*t! Stop it! A spark of hellfire will move to another building! "
In the end, the work of evolution was forced to be stopped only after one trial.
" ... Does that make sense? "
"Hey, it's OK ... "
This is a moment that proves once again that the Fire of Hell cannot be extinguished with any extinguishing material.
They watched the debris of the building quickly turn to ashes with blank expressions on their faces.
"By the way ... can he run away? "
A woman mumbled with a strange hopeful voice.
"Yes, come to think of it, it seems like I saw Steel-rain on fire! "
"Ah— right! That was some time ago, right in the meteorite event? "
It was he who showed the scene breaking through the fire several times.
For example, didn't you manage to overcome the 'Peeton' fire on Jeju Island?
"If you are an undeniable hero, you can certainly achieve miracles. "
However, a class A wizard shook his head.
" ... ... Sorry it sounds like a candle, but Hellfire isn't just a strong fire. "
"Yes?"
"The reason why this is scary ... is because it effectively ignores 'resistance to fire '."
No matter how strong a tank is, when it hits Hellfire, it will melt like burning plastic ...
" ..."
In the end, the players only prepared to retreat remotely to avoid spreading Hellfire.
"At present, more than 10 minutes have passed since the unknown Hellfire attack took place at Steel-rain's residence, but his life or death is still unknown, and many experts believe that Steel-rain is dead —"
Over time, only the voices of reporters who reported this terrible moment became increasingly bleak.
But then-
"Huh? But the movement of the fire is somewhere ... a bit strange, isn't it? "
Yes, strangely, from some point, the flame of Hell was sucked in instead of spreading outward. Looks like the fire won't go out, it looks like it's going somewhere.
" ... ... First of all, does Hellfire have such a shrinking tendency? "
Some time ago, someone asked a class A wizard player who explained the Hellfire skill.
But he also put on his face as if he didn't understand, shook his head and opened his mouth.
"Uh, alright. That ... I honestly don't know. "
Wow wow wow
But the strange sight became increasingly clear. Yes, the fire clearly leads to the middle.
"I don't know what that is, but doesn't it turn off the light? "
On the other hand, criminals, who are members of the military class, begin to feel strange and unpleasant at the same time.
'What the heck is that? I've never heard of it. '
The criminal leader, William Cain, also felt alienation and used eye reinforcement skills 'Hawk Eye'.
"门!"
My eyes hurt when I saw the dark light, but I held it back and looked into the flame.
In the depths of the red flash, I found a black shadow.
' ... Are you human?'
A man stands tall in the midst of a fire that cannot be extinguished or held.
"Please stand up ... "
And before long, other players seemed to have captured the scene, so murmurs spread everywhere.
"—Look there! Looks like someone is standing there! "
" ... are you human? Are you sure it's Steel-rain? "
"What? Ma'am, that's ridiculous! What happened? "
And as the Fire of Hell softens one level, cheers begin to emerge from everywhere.
"Huh! Really! He's right! He stood there! "
"Uh, how can you be okay in Hellfire? "
" ... Could he not have died while standing? "
And how big the sword is in his right hand ... ... There, Hellfire is being sucked.
At first glance it looks like Mowglay, and many assume, of course, it is Mowglay.
However, the black goods he held were completely different items, obtained from 'Panic Room ' Deputy Director Hwang Yeon-soo.
[Item information]
– Name: A sword that is really cold
– Effect: Absorb heat and release 'heat '.
'I didn't think this sword would be used this way. '
Lee Hyun-wook knows that the identity of this latent item is 'Levatein', but he doesn't know how to release it. That's why I try many different methods from time to time ...
' ... ... The first thing I did was heat it up. '
As stated in the description of this item, it is able to absorb heat and release heat.
This means that the latent liberation formula most likely also has to do with 'api'.
'So, I am constantly in contact with various fires. '
As a result ...
– A really cold sword wants a stronger 'heat fire '!
* warning! At present, this sword absorbs all the attributes 'Fire' around it!
After about a dozen attempts, a system message like that came to mind.
However, there are limits to the powerful fire magic that Lee Hyun-wook can save. When I have time, I plan to ask General Choi Jeong-cheol, and if that doesn't work, I'm thinking of visiting Inferno.
But now, the Hellfire that suddenly hit his head becomes 'key'.
'Once again, their conspiracy is beneficial to me. '
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah–
It took about ten minutes to eat all the hellfire like that ... ...
– Congratulations! The potential of a fully cooled sword is partially released and becomes 'a sword that gets back its heat '!
[Item information]
– Name: Hot back sword (Heroes)
– Effect: When absorbing heat, it becomes 'Magma Sword '.
... ... Isn't that not 'Levatain' legendary level, but 'sword that gets back heat ' hero level?
'What? Even though I swallowed Hellfire, I still couldn't pull out the full potential ... ... '
Still, it has been increased to some extent, but that means that in the future, it must absorb some more Hellfire. To that extent, this sword named Leviathan has extraordinary firepower when it becomes a finished product.
"Hu— I thought I would die of heat. "
"Hey, I think I'll get burned. "
Behind Lee Hyun-wook's back, behind a sturdy steel wall, Park Jun-mo and Kim Se-hee spoke.
They have mild burns, but that is enough to drink the healing potion.
"Now, should we find the arsonist? "
Saying that, Kim Se-hee told him to take out poisonous gas around him.
"I've found it."
"Ah ... you are too fast."
Lee Hyun-wook slowly walked forward. The place he stepped on was pounding and collapsed.
The fire was very short, but the heat was so strong that the bricks turned into powder and iron bars into molten iron.
He walked through smoke and ash, standing in front of hundreds of players and dozens of cameras.
"Uh ... S, Steel-rain ... are you OK? "
Someone asked somewhere, but Lee Hyun-wook walked forward without answering.
Then the players naturally split left and right to open the way.
The metal that covered his body — hardening was in good condition, with only a little soot.
On his shoulder sat a black crow, his eyeballs watching all directions.
Behind his back, a burning giant sword let out its heat.
On the other hand, criminals have no choice but to take a step back without realizing it while watching it.
" ... ... Everyone, don't be nervous."
In the end, William Cain had no choice but to whisper softly to his wobbly men.
Nobody knows what we are doing anyway.
'Dark Elf Shadow Hunter ' who uses Hellfire Magic Scroll has escaped from this area.
And the time they secretly sent the magic scroll with him was very short and full of secrets.
In other words, there were no witnesses, William Cain was sure.
"Now, our actions will never be found out. "
Hearing the whisper, the criminals breathed and began to focus on arranging their facial expressions.
However ...
Step- step-
Strangely, Steel-rain approached with a straight forward view.
An enemy with a grim expression walked out of hellfire ... ... He slowly approached.
gulp-
William Cain's eyes met him, and he almost smiled while doing business without realizing it, maybe because he was nervous.
But smiling right now is a very strange thing, so I forcibly lowered the corner of my lips.
" ... Steel-rain, are you all right? "
Instead, he spoke first. At times like this, I have to pretend I don't care and be polite.
"Ah, I'm William Cain, Director of Strategic Support for the EPU Union, who is responsible for the spread of this operation. "
And because he is one of the managers of this site, it's not strange to come out like this.
However ...
"I turned on Hellfire at 1 am, will it be alright? "
"Ah ... of course. You are still safe —"
"And I ... know who did this."
As soon as he heard those words, William Cain had the instinct to turn around and run away.
And my eyes were fixed on the giant sword that floated behind Lee Hyun-wook's back. That's not Mowglay.
'I don't know what that is, but it is the sword that engulfs the Fire of Hell. If we use it, we will all die. '
The heat emitted by the sword was enough to burn the skin of the person standing nearby.
" ... So, you mean you know who uses the Hellfire skill? "
At that moment, a black mechanical crow sitting on Steel-rain's shoulder —Hugin flew.
Hung ——
He soared high into the sky in an instant and began to underestimate everyone.
That means Steel-rain has detected the target and started hunting further.
" ..."
For a moment, there was only silence among the hundreds of people.
Their views are directed at only one person, Lee Hyun-wook.
Everything says Lee Hyun-wook ... ... I hear you know the culprit.
" ... ... Hellfire is not a skill. That is a magic scroll. "
Lee Hyun-wook answered late, and one of the criminals let out a groan without realizing it.
'How are you ... ... .'
If they know that much information, it might not be a big problem to know their identity.
Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook's movements, stares and sounds began to feel like daggers.
"Do you think I can't kill you if you get involved here and take shichimi? "
That is not a specific word for anyone, but his eyes are on the villain.
To them, it felt like an unspoken warning and was an indescribable pressure.
"Then, I'm sorry ... but I want to tell you that you look at me too softly. "
At that time-
Pooh-ooh-ooh-ooh–!
The giant sword that floated behind Lee Hyun-wook's back began to emit smoke from nowhere. It was like turning on a steam locomotive, and gray smoke came out, and it was quite threatening ... ...
"F*ck!"
In the end, one of the criminals couldn't stand it, turned their body, pulled out a scroll, and tried runaway magic.
"-NO!"
At that time, the giant sword 'the sword that returned hot ' which stood behind Lee Hyun-wook shone red.
A bright red fire appeared from the tip of his sword, widening his wings as if spreading.
Woe to — evil —!
The four criminals who stood at that distance were devoured by fire and crushed to ashes.
"Ouch—!"
Still, William Cain turned his body at the time and only managed to lose one arm ... ...
shh—
Two silver arrows flew in and broke both of his Achilles tendons simultaneously.
He pieces — lay face down on the floor, reaching out one hand to Lee Hyun-wook, who approached him.
"Me, please! What was my fault for suddenly attacking you? "
"Um, no way ... are you still staring at me gently? "
"ip! Oh no, I really don't know why ... ... "
Hearing his words, Lee Hyun-wook smiled and stepped on his ankle.
" ... In Korea, there is a saying like this. The thief's leg is numb, which means exactly like this. "
"eh...."
"If you did nothing, can you explain why you tried to run away? "
But at that time —
pop-!
Suddenly, William Cain's head exploded and his eyes turned upside down.
'By the way, did you activate the latent spell? '
The criminal leaders must be watching this scene now —
I decided it would be better to kill this person than to be caught.
Lee Hyun-wook sighed, raised his head and looked around.
" ..."
Everyone in the place looked surprised.
And the whole world just witnessed that incident.
" ... Steel-rain, you have to explain what this is. "
Brian Thiel, leader of the Omega Team, who approached behind me, said so.
Lee Hyun-wook nodded and looked at the players and cameras around him once.
'Yes, the time has come. '
Right now, that's not bad.
' ... ... Today, the villain, his name is revealed to the world. '
He saved the world many times, and got the image of a hero.
Therefore, this is trusted by the world more than ever before.
Even recently, he was threatened with being killed by someone.
'And I share all the stories with the world. '
Mention unrealistic secrets in this context now ... ...
' ... ... The world will trust you.'
Lee Hyun-wook looked at one of the camera lenses and slowly opened his mouth.
"I've been fighting with certain groups for a very long time ... "
