God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 011

11. Holy Glory

‘With that expression.’

Thinking back to Seo Young-woo’s distorted expression in front of everyone.

Sihyeon chuckled.

Seo Young-woo.

Because he was a guy with such great power and influence that he could rival Sihyeon before his regression.

Sihyeon often had small and big clashes with the guy.

‘Well, in the end, he died by my hand.’

Because Seo Young-woo was a player who signed with Ramiel.

Ramiel and the great world of angels he belonged to, Eden, could not refuse the command.

There are thousands, tens of thousands of players who have died painful deaths as slaves or sacrifices in Eden by that guy’s hands.

I couldn’t let that happen again.

‘Well… … There’s still a lot of time left until that happens.’

The good news is that the current Seo Young-woo is an ordinary player who doesn’t know anything.

Sihyeon had to do something to stop the guy before he caused an accident.

‘Of course, before that, I’ll use this guy and his forces to the fullest.’

“You can rest here.”

“thank you.”

As I was walking down the hallway in a daze.

The room given to Sihyeon appeared.

Slurp.

The room Sihyeon received was one of the ones located on the top floor.

The bed was large enough to fit four king-size beds together.

There were all kinds of decorations and art pieces.

Even inside there was a fountain of holy water flowing out just like we had seen from outside.

‘This might be useful.’

Sihyeon, who had tapped the fountain, raised the corners of her mouth.

The only downside was that there were no windows, which was actually a good thing.

What Sihyeon was trying to do here shouldn’t be known to other players.

“Shall we check the one you are most curious about first?”

Shihyeon, wearing armor, raised the corners of her lips.

Michael (מיכאל), Archangel of Humility.

He is the vanguard of all battles, and the person who most closely assists Eden’s ‘Father’, excluding Metatron.

The ‘Holy Glory’ had an excellent fit, as it was worn by such an angel.

Even though it was clearly an armor made of sacred metal, it didn’t feel heavy at all and was solid.

Moreover, the part that touches the skin is soft, so it feels like cotton is touching it.

[Holy Glory (E)]

#Archangel Michael of Humility, the armor he received from his father.

One set of clothes (armor)

Current proficiency LV.1

Wearing effect

[Divine Power + 20] [Physical Resistance +150]

[Magic Resistance +150]

Special effects of the brilliant armory of the gods

The more you handle an item, the more your proficiency increases.

When your proficiency increases and you reach LV.10, you will advance to the next level.

E-grade special effects

This armor changes to fit the owner’s body.

You can convert all the magical power you have into ‘divine power’.

*Duration: 5 minutes.

*Reuse cooldown: 6 hours.

It was a crazy performance that did not disappoint expectations.

Physical and magical resistances are a whopping 150.

Even with the 40 that Astraphe and Kibisis combined, ordinary weapons didn’t get damaged much.

I ended up getting about 150 more.

‘At least at this level, it’s A-class. If you do it well, it could even be S-class.’

Of course, this only considered ‘basic’ physical and magical resistances.

It also increased divine power by 20.

It didn’t feel heavy and was easy to put on and take off.

‘It’s not for nothing that they give armor to an archangel as great as Michael.’

Sihyeon raised the corners of his mouth when he saw the armor’s effect.

Before returning, the armor that Sihyeon chose was that of Brunhild, the Valkyrie of Valhalla.

Hers was pretty good too, but it couldn’t compare to this armor.

[You have 3 unique items from God.]

[Special effect of ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ is unlocked.]

‘It’s not time to use this yet.’

After muttering like that.

Sihyeon immediately gathered all the items and went out of the room.

There are approximately 14 days left.

There was so much to do during that time.

Saaaaa… … .

A cloudy light was flowing out from the fountain in the middle of the room.

The holy water that originally filled that place was supposed to emit a pure white light.

But now, Sihyeon has put in an egg of unknown identity.

The color of the fountain began to become cloudy from then on.

[Item, the ‘Turbid Yeouiju (A)’ swallowed by the ‘Unidentified Egg (??)’ is being purified.]

[Item, ‘Unidentified Egg(??)’ is drinking holy water.]

[Item, hatching rate of ‘Unknown Egg (??)’ increases significantly.]

The life form that Sihyeon is trying to hatch from an unidentified egg is a being that eats iron and emits purified energy.

Since he had already been fed enough iron, it was now time to feed him plenty of purified energy.

And for purified energy, there is nothing better than holy water.

‘It’s a tonic, a tonic. It purifies even the turbid Yeouiju.’

Since the holy water comes out of this fountain almost infinitely anyway, there was nothing to worry about.

‘I’ll check on Kibisis later. Now is the time to utilize Astraphe’s effects.’

Astraea, the thunderbolt of Zeus that Sihyeon possesses.

The guy’s C-class special effect, , allows him to grow by absorbing other lightning.

That’s why Sihyeon was thinking of stealing lightning here.

‘Normally there would be no lightning, but this is a place ruled by Ramiel. There’s no way there wouldn’t be lightning.’

There are three representative powers that Ramiel possesses.

It was lightning, illusion, and spirit.

The lightning Ramiel uses is white lightning imbued with divine power.

The Holy Glory that Sihyeon is wearing and the recently acquired class Paladin create good synergy effects.

The place where Ramiel’s lightning strikes the most is Ramiel’s statue in the center of the department store building.

That was it.

‘Okay. Then let’s go like this… … .’

Phage.

Just then, as I was about to head towards Ramiel’s statue.

‘This?’

The astrape wrapped around Sihyeon’s wrist flashed as if it was being pulled by something.

Because Astrape was an item that was used even before the return.

Sihyeon knew what this meant.

‘Near here… there is a source of powerful lightning.’

Astraphe, who has achieved C rank, is drawn to powerful lightning and tries to absorb it.

Even in the statue of Ramiel, which was thought to have the most lightning, Astrape did not show this reaction.

There was a violent reaction here right now.

‘You didn’t do that before, so why are you doing it now?’

I decided to think about the reason later.

Sihyeon followed where Astraphe was leading.

Phage… … .

The place Sihyeon arrived was in front of a black door that was locked very tightly.

“Wouldn’t it be easy to open?”

Si-Hyeon thought she knew a lot about Seo Young-Woo and Dong-San.

I didn’t know about these facilities or rooms.

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ resonates with ‘Golden Door’.]

Phage, phage, phage!

Contrary to Sihyeon’s expectations.

The black door that reached Astrape opened with great ease.

“If it goes on like this, I can’t not go in, right?”

After that, raise the corners of your lips.

Sihyeon walked into the room.

‘Here?’

There was literally nothing in the room.

All there was was a single bed big enough for one person to sleep on.

On it, a woman was lying with her eyes closed.

“female?”

A middle-aged woman with white hair.

The moment he saw her, Si-hyeon tilted his head.

‘Did Seo Young-woo have such a being? Or was he a prisoner?’

Because Astra was still facing the middle-aged woman.

Sihyeon had no choice but to approach her.

Crisp, crunchy.

She was sleeping with her brows furrowed the whole time.

It looked so painful even at first glance.

It was because a white current was flowing around her.

‘Hmm… … .’

I couldn’t figure out what she was doing or why she was here.

One thing was certain.

Astraphe can absorb the white lightning that is currently tormenting this woman.

If that happens, Sihyeon can free that middle-aged woman from her suffering.

“Astrape.”

Phagec… … .

“eat.”

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ partially subdued Ramiel’s lightning.]

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ absorbs a very small amount of Ramiel’s lightning.]

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ proficiency increases significantly.]

Flash!

Astraea’s golden lightning collided with the white electricity on the bed.

The two clashed fiercely for a moment.

Soon, Astrape was absorbing all the white lightning like a sponge absorbing water.

‘Archangel. Even among them, it is not a power that even a lowly one can withstand.’

As he is a being whose name is proudly listed among the seven archangels of Eden.

Ramiel was never a weak god.

But strength and weakness are always relative.

Even though they were the seven archangels of Eden, they were inferior to Zeus, the king who ruled over Olympus.

‘It would be difficult to defeat Zeus even if you brought Michael or Metatron.’

Flash!

In this way, Astrape was absorbing more and more white lightning.

Originally, items stolen from gods have a very slow skill level increase starting from C rank.

Thanks to absorbing lightning, Astraphe was growing quite quickly.

‘… … this lady.’

As a bonus, when the white lightning disappeared, the wrinkles on the middle-aged woman lying on the bed disappeared and her skin became smooth.

Although her eyes were still closed, she was clearly getting younger.

“Is this what it originally looked like?”

“Ugh… … .”

After a while, the woman who had been lying down opened her eyes.

“Youngwoo… …Youngwoo?”

At the words of a woman who suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Sihyeon answered jokingly.

“It’s not Youngwoo, it’s a friend.”

“… … Youngwoo’s friend?”

“To be exact, it’s my brother. I was treating him at Youngwoo’s request.”

It was a lie.

Because Shihyeon came here simply to strengthen Astraphe.

But it was also true that by doing this, she was cured and became younger.

If both parties were moving in a good direction, telling a little lie to leave a good impression was a skill.

“Yeah… … yeah. How long has it been since I closed my eyes? The last time I came to, goblins were… … .”

“It’s been about a month.”

“I see. Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. My name is Seo Ji-hye. I’m Young-woo’s older sister.”

“Yes. My name is Lee Si-Hyeon.”

Phage support support.

Every time Sihyeon absorbs white lightning.

Seo Ji-hye’s condition was noticeably improving.

And this meant one thing.

‘No way… … Ramiel is that crazy bastard.’

Sihyeon ground his teeth.

‘Did you force Seo Young-woo into signing a contract using his older sister as bait?’

Among the angels of Eden, Ramiel is the one who sees humans as nothing more than ‘tools’.

He was a great man who could do this and still be remembered.

“……sister!”

When Sihyeon was absorbing lightning like that.

Someone shouted from behind.

“Are you here?”

“… … You! What the hell are you doing!”

“Youngwoo!”

“… … !”

Suddenly he came to his senses and heard the voice of his older sister, Seo Ji-hye, calling him.

Seo Young-woo froze.

“Sister? How did you come to your senses… … .”

“This person cured me.”

Thud thud.

Seo Young-woo approached, groping his hands, and touched Seo Ji-hye’s face.

“Sister… … Sister… … .”

“Youngwoo, are your eyes… …?”

“sister!”

“What the heck is going on!”

Hugging each other like that.

Both siblings burst into tears.

‘ah…….’

And Sihyeon, who was next to him, scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

‘I don’t know. Let’s just absorb lightning.’
