6. Iron Zombie Necromancer (2)
6. Iron Zombie Necromancer (2) – If you go in, you’ll be in big trouble.
‘It’s done.’
Serin gritted her teeth.
If it’s Cheolsi Gwiong, he’s a notorious master of magic thirty years ago, and he’s a monster with incredible strength and ability, enough to have single-handedly stopped the main force of the Gupa Ibang during the Battle of Jeongsa. No matter what he does now, he’s an opponent he can’t defeat.
No, let alone winning, it’s not even possible to shake them off and run away. If the Sunja who lost contact brings reinforcements, whether it’s the Murim Alliance or something, there’s some hope, but will they be able to survive until then?
I can’t die in a place like this. Serin’s eyes were burning with the will to live. I had to get revenge on my damn enemies, and I had to earn money to settle down on some secluded planet. I had no intention of dying a dog’s death to this old man.
However, despite her curious mind, her condition was not good. Although her dislocated left shoulder could be fixed, the condition of her right side did not seem to be good.
How can I survive? Seolyeong racked her brain desperately.
The best way to deal with the droid steel city’s magic is to cut off the connection between the caster and the droid with an EMP or something similar. However, this is impossible when the surroundings are completely controlled to the point where communication jamming has occurred. In the end, the conclusion is that you have to defeat the steel city yourself.
In that case, there was no choice but to choose the second best option. Seolyeong glared at Cheolsiguiong’s special steel poems with sharp eyes.
The Steel City is fundamentally a robot, and it even uses a rigid super-movement that has been modified exclusively for the Steel City, so there are quite a few gaps between the super-movements. If you take advantage of that gap and destroy the energy generator or the central control module with your sword, you will have a chance of winning against that old Steel City. Watching the Iron City’s expression, Seryeong fixed his dislocated shoulder and held the super-vibration blade.
That was when.
“Huh?!”
A sudden stabbing pain struck her temple. Se-ryeong groaned in pain and frowned. Cheol-sigwi-ong made an interesting expression.
“Wow, a nanomachine firewall? I thought you were just a street thug with no skills, but it looks like you have roots that belong to a noble family.”
Nanomachine Poison, which releases a swarm of nanomachines into the air to disable the central nervous system of the opponent, is difficult to master because the control technique is so complicated, but once mastered, it is a powerful martial art that can instantly disable most unmanned forces without much trouble.
But despite such convenience, there is a reason why people do not learn it. Most disciples of prestigious families or great schools are equipped with advanced models with built-in nanomachine firewall functions when transplanting QUIOS, so the nanomachine attack does not work.
“For so long, the existence of the old man was kept a secret from the world of martial arts, so there was no way to save the family, but it seems that heaven is helping the old man.”
When dealing with the Steel City, the level of martial arts displayed was nothing more than the level of second-rate skills that could be obtained with money, so I thought he was just a worthless scumbag, but who would have thought he had a nanomachine firewall? Greed settled in the eyes of the Iron City King as he looked at Seryeong.
“I have changed my mind now. Since it has come to this, you too must join me in my great undertaking.”
“······Are you saying you will spare my life?”
Serin quickly changed her attitude. Perhaps it was because she had a hopeful observation that if she pretended to be on his side, he might not try to kill her.
If you can avoid the immediate crisis, you can create an opportunity at any time. Se-ryeong was not at all ashamed of bowing her head in shame for the sake of the future.
But her thoughts were nothing more than a delusion.
“That’s true, I guess it will become a corpse for the host.”
Cheolsi Gwi-ong smiled brightly. His pitch-black eyes gleamed ominously.
“Nimi, then that’s right.”
I was just wondering, but Serin spat on the floor and swore.
A bell that had been taken out of Cheolsiguiong’s hand rang. The old man gave an order to someone in the darkness.
“Don’t kill them, catch them alive. It doesn’t matter if you cut off their limbs.”
A command so chilling that it made the listener cringe. Seolyeong gritted her teeth.
I didn’t want to write this. Serin took out a small ampoule from her bosom and stuck it into her arm as she watched the steel spheres approaching her in the darkness.
It is a narcotic booster secretly traded in the Ronin Market. It is not compatible with internal energy, so it ruins the body, and when the effect wears off, all sorts of side effects follow you for a week, so it is an item carried around as a last resort.
But it’s better than dying, so there’s no reason to spare it. Se-ryeong shook her head once to clear it away.
“after-.”
As various strengthening ingredients, including adrenaline, flowed through her blood vessels, Serin’s heart started pounding like crazy and her entire body’s senses expanded. Her two eyes, with red veins floating around, turned to face the front.
There were three steel skeletons of the same type as the one I had just seen, and one large, unidentifiable skeleton. Serin activated the super vibration blade. Even though it wouldn’t work on the skeletons, it was effective enough against the regular steel skeletons, so there was no reason not to use it.
“under!”
Serin’s body shot forward like a bullet. Her side screamed, but Serin, who was soaked in drugs, accepted even the pain as pleasure.
Crunch. Her thrust, as fast as a ray of light, pierced the center of one of Steel City’s chests.
A blade protruded from behind Steel City’s back. Steel City caught the sword that had pierced his chest and blocked his movements even while his functions were halted, but the blade vibrated at an extremely high speed and cut off Steel City’s hand along with his torso.
“One guy.”
Seol-ryeong, who had cut the steel sword out of the steel sword’s chest with a large horizontal cut, then spun around and cut the steel sword’s waist again.
“Two no······tsk!”
But the arm of the big guy blocked her attack as if it had anticipated it. Seolyeong twisted her wrist before the guy could grab the blade. The blade drew a strange trajectory and, in a movement that broke the laws of inertia, headed for the big guy’s chin. In an instant, the sword energy gathered at the tip of the sword lifted the guy’s face from below.
Crack!
‘It worked······!’
Serin’s eyes lit up as she saw the vertical sword marks drawn across the big guy’s face. If it had been a sword energy rather than a sword energy, it would have split the guy’s face vertically along with the central control module.
Serin lifted her body up as her senses, which were maximized to the point of being close to that of a beast, rang the alarm bell. She felt one of the steel si’s plasma claws narrowly slicing off the tip of her boot. Serin parried the other steel si’s attack by chopping off the bastard’s crown.
“You two!”
Seolyeong kicked the wall of the alley and jumped high above her head. The last Gangcheolsi followed her, flying with his body, and a large jiangsi aimed his arm from below. The bastard’s palm detached and a capture electric net grenade flew towards Seolyeong and Gangcheolsi.
There was no time to dodge when facing the steel city in the air. Serin concentrated her mind and cut off the hand of the steel city flying towards her.
Five finger warheads forming an electric net. In her awakened consciousness, Serin swung her sword at the warheads flying slowly. The upper two warheads were cut off, weakening part of the net. Serin tightly closed her eyes and kicked the severed arm of the steel city to fly to the upper part of the net.
Phage crackle!
Serin rolled on the floor with the sound of electric sparks. No matter how weakened she was, her whole body would have been numb and difficult to move, but Serin, who was awakened by the boost, got up, even though she was staggering. Her lips were smiling, as if she was drunk on drugs and couldn’t even feel pain. Serin shook her head once and laughed fiercely, showing off.
“It’s perfect for coming to your senses.”
But no one responded to her words.
Knock, thump, thump. When the electric net had left even a little damage, the big guy rushed at Serin to subdue him. Serin, seemingly out of fear, ran towards the big guy with his sword drawn.
‘It was definitely the guy who used the Chainsaw Fist.’
A chain-link fist on that huge size? Are you crazy? It is suicide to confront the giant steel city head-on, which gives up techniques and instead shoots out fists like shells like a machine gun. Seolyeong gritted her teeth as she watched the large body rushing forward with both hands raised in front of her face.
But there is still a long way to go. The body of Seol-yeong, who was rushing towards the big guy, sank downwards.
Wheeing. Several punches were launched at Serin, who was sliding on the floor and aiming for the bottom. And how did Serin respond to such attacks?
I accepted it without trying to stop it or avoid it.
– ?
No, to be precise, it would be more appropriate to say that it passed.
A small device shattered after being hit by Steel City’s fist with a small thud. The decoy of the spirit, made of an elaborate hologram, disappeared like a goblin as the device shattered.
And at the same time, the mocking voice of the spirit was heard from above the big guy’s head.

“You little bastard!”
The sword of the spirit floating in the air cut through the gap in the armor above the large man’s head.
But she didn’t realize that the steel city was also hiding a secret number.
Push-style!
“what?!”
Just before the sword of the dark spirit cut off his head, white smoke exploded from above the shoulder of the steel city. Suspecting poison for a moment, Serin put away his sword and covered his mouth, but it was just a smokescreen. Sensing that he had been tricked, Serin was about to swing his sword again when another shadow covered his back.
“Ouch! This little tin can!”
Seol-yeong, who had rolled on the ground again with the steel thief whose arm she had cut off a moment ago, swung her sword and cut the thief vertically. However, the large steel thief had already hidden himself in the smoke.
It was a disaster. Serin clicked her tongue inwardly as she was unable to see anything due to the white smoke surrounding her. Despite its large size, she could not sense any movement.
How long had it been? The short time until the smoke cleared felt like an eternity. Suddenly, Serin felt a chill and leaned down.
“!”
Phew!
A heavy blow cut through the smoke and pierced the spot where Serin’s upper body had been. A few strands of Serin’s hair, which she had barely managed to avoid thanks to Boost’s awakening, were cut off by the steel-like fist. Serin’s liver and gall were chilled and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She was just lucky just now. There was still the next attack, and the one after that. She had to make a decision.
‘Oh well, I can’t help it.’
There is only one way. Wait for the moment when he attacks. Serin gritted her teeth.
‘now!’
Seol-yeong raised her left arm and unleashed her long sword towards the fist flying towards her through the fog.
Her left arm broke off with a creepy sound. The familiar yet bizarre sensation of bones and muscles breaking in her left arm made Serin’s sword follow her instincts and pierce through the smoke.
Kwajik!
‘That’s it······!’
The place where the sword of the spirit pierced was the face of the steel city.
Despite being protected by a thick armor, the concentrated thrust of the spirit penetrated the seam of the frontal armor and reached the central control module inside.
“Phew. Phew.”
The smoke screen that the Steel City had set off cleared, and Serin, who had pulled out her sword from the now-stopped Steel City, was gasping for breath.
His hair, tied up, had long since become disheveled, and his clothes were torn and dirty from rolling around on the ground many times. His left arm, which had received the fist of the steel city head-on, was a total mess. However, even so, his red eyes were burning brightly as if they were radiating life.
“······I thought it was a scrap, but it was a jewel buried in the mud.”
Cheolshiguiong let out a voice of admiration as he watched Seolyeong completely destroy three Gangcheolshi and one Gangcheolgangshi. It was a power that could easily subdue even the most powerful masters, but even though it wasn’t directly controlled by him and he had the help of a boost, he didn’t expect a mere first-class fringe warrior to do so well.
“What a pity. If only I had met a proper monk, I would have been successful.”
Cheolsiguiong clicked his tongue. He could tell just by looking at it. It was a case of a martial arts skill that was inferior to his skills holding him back.
With his poor output and inability to properly display his sword skills, he had a weak internal energy drive and a swordsmanship that was as weak as one could get from a ronin market. Despite such adverse conditions, he was able to defeat Gangwha Steel City. Although we met as enemies, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him as a senior in the martial arts world, seeing that he couldn’t fully display his talents.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t make gingerbread out of her.
“The old man is very impressed by your efforts, so he should treat you accordingly.”
As Cheolshigwiong moved his fingers, one of the crimson droids stationed behind him stepped forward.
Resembling a woman in a powered suit, the Iron Man’s droid had a black frame with red patterns engraved into it that resembled bloodstains.
Unlike the mass-produced steel city, it had a unique appearance that seemed to be made to order. It was the infamous monster of the old days, the Mokhyeol Gangsi (墨血僵尸) handled by Cheolsi Gwiong. The red eyes inside the visor made of reinforced alloy glared at her coldly.
“Even the best masters have a hard time dealing with him. If these three come together, they can fight against the best. He is more than enough for someone of your level, so consider it an honor.”
“······Ugh.”
I don’t need this kind of treatment. Despair settled over Serin’s expression.
But that doesn’t mean she has any intention of giving up. She has to struggle to survive somehow before she can find a chance. There wasn’t a single person around her who survived that filthy bottom.
“Okay, let’s give it a try······!”
The effects of the medicine were starting to wear off and the side effects were starting to appear. Serin tried to show off and aimed her sword at the bloodthirsty demon.
And at the same time.
“ah?”
The blade of the super-vibration blade cut off her right arm along with it.

There are several ways to use Droid Steel. EMP bullets are the most commonly used, but there are also methods such as hacking the droid directly, finding the caster and destroying them, or using nanomachines. Of course, since Iron Shiguiong can use nanomachine poison, you cannot take control of the droid with nanomachines.
While the Steel City has powerful attack power, speed, and movements that are impossible for humans, its linkage with other types of creatures is not free.
Even armor of the level of reinforced steel can defend against weak swords. It was both luck that Seol-yeong caught the reinforced steel and instinctively attacked the weak points of the armor.
Nanomachine poison attack is powerful, but it is not very popular because it can be destroyed by simply implanting a nanomachine firewall. It is not necessary to use it because it does not work on those from prestigious schools even if you work hard to learn it. However, Cheolsiguiong often needs a healthy body for making ginger, so he learned nanomachine poison attack for convenience.
Nanomachine poison, contrary to its name, is also used for healing purposes.
Despite being from a noble family, Seolyeong lived a life at the bottom.
After the Battle of Jeongsa, Cheolgwisiong created a host ginger city as a living person, brainwashed it, and then mastered the Tree Network magic of controlling the steel city with that ginger city. Unlike the steel city, there are no restrictions on controlling the ginger city, so theoretically, there are no restrictions on controlling the steel city.
In the battle with Serin, it was not Cheolsi Gwiong but Ginger Shi who controlled the steel city. If Cheolsi Gwiong had controlled it directly, Serin would have been subdued long ago.
The name of the narcotic booster is Gwangbokjeong. It is quite expensive, but the ronin carries one with them for emergency use. If you take too much, you will get drug addiction, erectile dysfunction, irregular menstruation, drug-induced hair loss, and even hemorrhoids.
Booster doping is basically prohibited in the martial arts world. However, since it is not more important than life, many people still use it. The booster scandals of large sects are a regular scandal in the martial arts world that comes up every time you forget about them.
Usually, steel mills mainly use the fist or the spear technique. This is because the unit price does not fit the price of giving separate weapons.
The reinforced steel city has many other miscellaneous functions in addition to smoke bombs and electric net bombs. Of course, it also has a cool self-destruct function.
The roots of Yeonhwan Cheolkwon lie in boxing. Of course, it is very different from boxing. There are no flashy changes, but it is characterized by relentless, fast, and strong straight attack combinations.
The martial arts that Seolyeong possesses are quite valuable in the Ronin market, but they are incomparable to the techniques learned from a formal monk. The internal energy drive is not proper, so the output is weak. However, the reason why he does not use better martial arts or internal energy drives is because he has been working as a bounty hunter up until now, and he can somehow beat it with the martial arts and internal energy drives he has now. Of course, this is possible because Seolyeong has outstanding talent.
The Bloody Jangshi is a special order-made product made directly by a first-class droid craftsman. It is strong enough to subdue even the most skilled players, but it is incredibly expensive. Iron Shigui was a rich man who owned three mid-level battlefields under his control in the past, but he spent all his wealth on making the Bloody Jangshi.
The appearance of the blood-stained dragon is feminine, which is the taste of Cheolsiguiong.
