After Lee Hyun-wook returned to the past, he achieved results that could not be achieved in his previous life.
Compared to his previous life, he realized how to develop his abilities a few years before, took items that should have been taken by other characters, and made huge profits by preventing criminals from making plans.
However, he knew that was still not enough to stop the Criminals.
'...No matter how fast my growth is, I cannot compensate for the expansion of the Criminals. '
This is the same as people who have more money can get it faster.
Countries in the world, such as the United States, China, and Germany, are already bound by male and female criminals.
It was a statement of criminals, including the German Minister of Players, the United States Golden Cross Alliance, and the private organization of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security Amseong, who dug up and settled after the wave "occurred in the country.
Of course, it is not enough for them to come forward and dominate the country ...
' ... ... It will definitely be like that soon.'
That is why Villan's strength grows differently from day to day.
'Even if it takes a little longer, I will grow slowly and aim for gaps from the players ... ... '
But now, from now on, there are ways to outperform criminals.
It is true... ...
' ... ... This is a magic technique. '
In essence, this era was a time when the field of magic engineering had just come out of its development.
'Magic Engineering Research ', the best skills of blacksmith players, was 'updated ' a few years ago from the present point, and the World Tree appeared in the Republic of Chad and a blessing was applied to all areas. There is a revival in this industry.
'In other words, at this point, even Villan has almost no basis in the field of magic engineering.'
According to its original history, magic techniques will face an extraordinary awakening in the next three to four years, and will affect history. Even when Laputa was owned by criminals, its development was very rapid.
But now, the best infrastructure, Laputa, is in Seoul, and is also in the hands of Lee Hyun-wook.
In other words, compared to previous lives, the goods manufacturing industry centered on magic techniques will develop faster.
' ... I am at the forefront of that upheaval. '
Just as steam engine technology is the driving force of the Industrial Revolution and blows up Western society, magic can create huge gaps in this player society.
Thus, Lee Hyun-wook's goal was narrowed.
Protecting this country, Korea, and developing magic techniques on it — In this case, it is timely good news to find hidden stages associated with 'gnome', founder of magic techniques.
'In this game, gnomes are the highest race positions of Dwarfs and teacher races. '
In other words, it means a place where you can get large numbers of hextech items.
Rats- Rats-
Lee Hyun-wook is currently breaking through the gnome ruins with Living Armor.
The stone wall corridor is made of white bricks, and looks like a temple of ancient civilization, but Lee Hyeon-wook can feel that the space behind the wall is a giant mechanical device.
And at every step, the metal device on the wall moves.
Wings — Slap — Wings — Slap —
"Well... Leader Lee, a strange sound was heard from the wall."
Lee Jung-jun tilted his head and said.
"Oh, that's no big deal. Maybe it's the sound of detecting our location and the trap is functioning. "
"Uh, not much..... no...."
And because this is also a kind of secret dungeon, there are many threatening elements.
Cheolkup—Tung—!
Basic traps, like arrows fired from walls and ceilings, are natural.
Get-Da-Da-Dang–!
When I turn the corner, dozens of bullets fly,
Pa—ji—ji—ji—!
From an electronic field that creates an entire space of about 5m with electricity,
It was a composition so bloody that even 10 lives would not be able to move forward without realizing it.
However, such traps can also be used on all metals, so it didn't work for Lee Hyun-wook.
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Even though all the objects were flying fiercely, he remained standing tall in the air.
Lee Hyun-wook pulled him and held it in his hand.
-You have obtained an Orichalcon-Adamant alloy bullet made by gnomes (rarely).
-You have obtained an Orichalcon-Adamant alloy bullet made by gnomes (rarely).
-You have obtained an Orichalcon-Adamant alloy bullet made by gnomes (rarely).
One bullet, which is like a consumable item, has an incredible "rare " rating.
'Yes, I used to bring lots of things like this here at that time. '
Lee Hyun-wook took an iron bead the size of his thumb's nail and put it in his pocket. For now, even though he gives great support to Kang Jeong-du, he will not be able to produce such quality products.
-You have obtained a thousand iron arrows made by gnomes (rarely).
'This ... ... This is not comparable to the Pale Note, but it is not bad with additional weapons. '
Because it is made of heavenly iron, the effect of electric shock can be estimated at the same time when hit.
-You have obtained a gnome current generator (rarely).
'This will be useful someday ... ... '
Therefore, every trap is made with very high ancient technology, and in fact, it is no different from Deuktem.
'That's also a stain. I have to delete everything. '
Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook deliberately stepped on all the traps and took the prize that flowed there.
In addition to traps, 'mechanical monsters ' also often appear.
Mechanical scorpions, mechanical guard dogs, mechanical dolls, automatic towers, etc.,
Lee Hyun-wook took it, tore off his outer skin, and pulled out something.
-You have obtained which small generator is made of gnomes (rarely).
Uh-
Circular mechanical devices, which are smaller than which stones, are which producing devices.
[Item information]
-Name: Which generator is small made of gnomes (rarely)
-Effect: Total Mana 12,000, Production Mana 5
At first glance, it might look small because it produces 5 mana per second, but given which regeneration rate per second Lee Hyun-wook's heart-ether machine is currently 100, it's never weak.
'And first, the effect of producing which is very valuable. '
Seeing this, it is rather unfortunate when the entrance to the ruins was forced to open, all the mechanical scorpions "that came out in the horde as a shredded sentence ... ... To be honest, it was a decision that could not be avoided.
Lee Hyun-wook quietly buried which small producing device he kept in his mouth.
gulp-
Digesting this might increase the rate of recovery.
'After all, there's nothing to throw here. '
Lee Hyun-wook is at the point where it feels like a big gift box to himself.
However, the real prize lies deeper, and I haven't even seen the wrapping paper.
How many hours I walked, the winding stone chamber corridor finally ended.
"Uh, that! That's the door! "
Gloomy light flowed from inside the large door. It seems that it is a very spacious room.
"Okay, from now on, when the terrain changes dramatically, there will be a very different threat from before. "
Lee Hyun-wook said that, and he moved forward without hesitation.
Because we already know what threats will emerge from this place.
'Soon the Ruins Guard will appear. That is a pretty complicated opponent ... ... '
So when all targeting teams enter the door —
– warning! 〈Ruins Guard 〉 angry because of illegal intrusions that break the rules!
thump –
As soon as the entrance they entered was closed, something began to descend near the ceiling.
Cho-la-la-la-!
A pulley was mounted on the ceiling, the sound of six heavy chains connected to it turned back,
And something big, connected to the end, fell quickly to the floor.
thump –!
– warning! Ruins Guard 'Bronze Guard (Alpha) ' has appeared!
Ki-ii-ying-—
It was a metal giant measuring about 4 m.
Magic circuits that embroider the whole body like long and wide heads like tower shields and full body tattoos ... ...
That strange appearance reminds me of a Mayan warrior.
Immediately, a cynical look appeared in his eyes.
And, as if releasing a cruel prisoner, the six chains that kept him removed.
"Oh, even if you see it, it looks like it will count! "
"The entrance is closed, and I'm really worried ...."
Hope, Cheonghwa, and everyone on both sides felt frustrated only by their appearance, so they had no choice but to back down.
But that is not the end.
Cheolkeuk—Cheolkeuk—
With a fused metal sound, the folded body opens and is about 1.5 times larger in size.
" ..."
He took out two blunt flags from behind, and began to step in this direction.
Buk— Buk— Buk— Buk—
Lee Hyun-wook's living armor, which stood at the forefront, reflexively moved their bodies and watched them.
'But you can't stop the monster with Living Armor.'
as expected....
Chow— river——!
The living armor, which was hit by a blunt blow that swung, flew like a can that was kicked and hit a wall.
bang–!
-Relationship with your family (Living Armor) has been cut off.
With just one room, more than 2m armor is retired with a mop.
"Wow, sir! "
"Mi, crazy ...."
As they saw the view, tankers from the Cheonghwa Guild, including Park Moo-han, had no choice but to retreat. Living Armor, however, has the same defense as class C tank players.
In other words, that means there is a high probability that they will fall like that in only one room.
By the way, Lee Hyun-wook laughed lonely.
'Yes, haven't seen you in a long time. That is the power of the combat engine created by the gnomes. '
Although the name "Alpha" is the initial version, it is not part of a very strong shaft.
Lee Hyun-wook tried to attack the ruins of a much larger gnome several times, but at that moment, the objects flowed out like a mob at ten.
'And the results of Kang Hee-seol's research and retrieval are 〈Magic Machine Corps 〉.'
He moved hundreds of these terrible weapons at once, attacking the Necromancer death corps directly in "Paju Ruins ", with mock versions of Hugin and Munin floating in the sky.
'That is the best tanker corps. '
With them as the vanguard, Lee Hyun-wook poured out steel rain and pushed tons of metal, and the connection was very damaging.
So, there was only one time I won the Necromancer in a head-to-head match.
'But this time, I was able to control the magic machine corps. '
That's because the central nervous system turns into "signal core " and the heart changes to "ether engine ".
For the big picture, Lee Hyun-wook plans to retirement the "Relic Guardian (Alpha) " and then take it out of the gate and give it to Jeong-du Kang and Hee-seol Kang — to make a prototype of the Machine Corps Magic.
'Okay, in the near future, this family will finish more than just Living Armor.'
Lee Hyun-wook thought like that, and took a step forward.
Ooh ooh ooh—
Airdrop devices fly above his head.
The ruins hallway was so narrow that only one was brought in, but this one was enough.
"Hey, this team leader ... it's also like metal. How could I not destroy it like before? "
Behind Lee Hyun-wook, Park Moo-han asked with a very nervous expression.
However, Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
"Sorry, but the boss monster is impossible. "
"Oh, also... Then it will be a little difficult to face the monster in this little place ...."
Park Moo-han wants to honestly say that he must back down.
He has the most attacking experience, and he is a monster at a level that is difficult to handle.
Even if you can catch him somehow ... ... Surely not a few soldiers will come out.
'No matter how valuable it is, this is a hidden stage, but the lives of team members take precedence over the strategy. '
Park Moo-han, he tends to judge prematurely, but he doesn't make judgments carelessly.
'By the way, Lee Hyun-wook, if you see you are not trembling at all, what can you do ... ... .'
However, because I had witnessed this man's appearance several times, I was silent without realizing it.
'If we can do something again ... ... Really ... .'
He expects Lee Hyun-wook's appearance without realizing it.
Then, he moved again.
Scream
Sounds like gears and chains interlocking, and shoulders on both sides open.
"Be careful! He tried something! "
Red crystals are revealed and shining, and many small magic circles appear around them.
"Uh! Woe, this is a fire attack! "
When a magician who interprets the meaning of a magic circle screams like that —
Hua-le-le-le-le-!
Two flames erupted and struck the live armor — the surface of the armor heated up and began to melt like a candle.
Then the flame filled the floor and flowed profusely like a tide.
"—Ugh! damage!"
As if entering a volcanic crater, incredible heat covered the entire place.
"No, I can't avoid it! I have to stop it! "
There is no time to avoid.
The witches hurriedly used freezing magic and wrapped the ice wall around the allies.
However, the heat has begun to melt the ice wall.
Feather-uh-uh-uh-uh-—!
When fire and ice collide, enormous water vapor is spewed out, and a roaring sound is heard.
However, because the two energies were opposite, he managed to stop the waves of fire.
"Damn it! How can a machine use high-level magic like that! "
Park Moo-han sharpened his teeth and put flags on his hands.
If I don't like it, I think I'll hit it and look back. It's reckless, but as the target team leader, I know it's important to distract you when dealing with good weapons.
'And if so, I will be able to survive even if I allow one shot! '
But that was then.
Gulluck— Gulluck—
Something like liquid began to sheathe into the air from the floor in front.
it ... ... It was made by melting iron water and living armor.
He stretched in the air like a living creature, like a slime, and flew towards him.
Iron— chip——!
The sticky metal splashed on his head and shoulders.
And it cools quickly and hardens ... ...
Ki-Ying- Chicken! Cockang! Cockang! Cockang!
Fire spraying device on the shoulder, metal stuck in the gap, causing malfunction!
"Oh oh-!"
Yes, even if it melts, the metal is still metal. Lee Hyun-wook uses that point.
He then began to slowly raise his hands.
'Five! Very nice! Finally started! '
Moo-han Park now knew what the action meant, and he swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
'That person is moving something now! Oh, but what are you manipulating? '
At present, there is no metal around it.
But his identity ...
Char-le-le-le-le-!
Behind his back, the six chains that initially held him floated into the air as if dancing, and they flew in and began to circle his arms, legs and neck at random like anakonda.
Hung —Digantung—Digantung—Digantung—
Once, twice, three times, the man who walked forward caught in his chin and was forced to stop.
"Oh! There she is! Fully bound! "
Park Moo-han shouted without my knowledge and began walking towards Lee Hyun-wook.
Chii ——
The floor is heated like a fire plate, but 'which shield ' used in his body stops the heat.
But then, a blue magic circle emerged from his chest.
"Uh- be careful!"
Shortly thereafter, the siferon ball came out. This time, freezing magic, spread in fan form, and a large number of balls covered Lee Hyun-wook's head thickly.
However, Lee Hyun-wook's body lifted vertically into the air.
What-IIII-—!
The pointed ice soared from under his feet, but his body quickly lifted and did not touch at all.
"No, what... can I even fly? "
Lee Hyun-wook surged and stretched his hand behind his back.
Then, from the subspace, a very large weapon was called.
Hung ——!
It was a giant sword appearance, Mogley.
Lee Hyun-wook grabbed it and flew at him as if he were shooting, and swung the giant sword with all his might.
Kwa—ang—!
At that moment, he also reached out his left hand, and the two steels collided, and loudly, sparks fell on the larynx.
"Fast-"
An extraordinary surprise, most of Lee Hyun-wook's body was pushed back and missed from Mogley.
However, his left hand was completely destroyed, lost balance and tripped.
At that moment, Lee Hyun-wook's body blurred, and immediately disappeared completely from view.
"What! Huh, really ... This time, are you hiding? "
Park Moo-han laughed with an expression that didn't make sense anymore.
Meanwhile, Mogley clinging to the ceiling was pulled out and moved, and the eyes of the ruins guard began to chase Mogley.
That is the limit of artificial intelligence given to a large number of machines.
As he pursued the wrong target, Lee Hyun-wook appeared behind his back.
Blah blah—
His hands turned into animal claws.
Then he took something, the back of the Ruins Guard.
Cockang! How-to-Masing-each-—!
With an extraordinary grip he reached for the cover of the occipital region and opened it,
In an instant, something inside ... ...
Pajiji——!
... I pulled it out.
Ooh-oh ...
Then, the guardian of the giant ruins (Alpha) stops high, and his eyes begin to fade.
"Huh... there is also a target recognition device in it? "
Lee Hyun-wook had seen Kang Hee-seol create a magic machine corps from the side, so he knew very well where the deadly weaknesses of the mechanical weapons were.
And to get rid of this person in the perfect condition possible, he somehow exploited that weakness.
– Congratulations! Disabling Guard (Alpha) Wreckage Gnome A3!
Messageing the system like that attracts everyone's attention,
Beyond that, the steel giant slowly began to tilt.
thump –!
"—Dead, it's over!"
Park Moo-han applauded once without realizing it, then lowered his arm because he thought it was strange.
'How many times have you really been surprised today? ... Lee Hyun-wook, that man, I have no choice but to admit it. '
He thought so, then shook his head.
'No, that's not the level I dare to admit. Hero, he's a good person to be called like that.
Today, I witnessed a shocking sight several times,
He immediately accepted Lee Hyun-wook and began to crave him.
At that moment, something sparkling out of the head of the fallen ruins guard.
That is the key.
Hidden Message: 〈Secret Room 〉 Gnome Ruins (A3) have been opened.
"Uh! Look there! There is a door open at the end! "
" ... ... Oh, that is a treasure of Hidden Stage!"
The players from both guilds cheered for no reason.
If it's a treasure trove of 'hidden stage ', there must be a lot of stuff in it.
"Uh, by the way ... there are two doors, but why is there only one key? "
As Lee Jung-joon said, there were two large doors at the end of the room.
And there is a red "padlock " icon that hovers in the air to indicate that both are locked.
"Ah, no way... is there another key that we just passed? "
"Oh that's right."
Other players think so.
Not because they entered after solving the puzzle with a certain degree of accuracy, but even though they had been cheated in madness, they thought something was missing.
"That might be true."
Lee Hyun-wook was still not sure he could open the second door.
The main key to ancient heritage, that it will be the answer, is just a guess ...
And when Lee Hyun-wook stood in the middle of two doors, two lines of messages appeared in front of him.
-Vault No. 1 Gnome: Locked (Satisfied with open conditions)
-Vault 2 Gnome: Locked (satisfied with open conditions)
"ha ha ... ... ."
Now, it's time to unpack the actual gift box.
