God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 117
84. Sinkhole (1)
[Time left until the end of the seventeenth plague: 5 days.]
thud.
“You’re here, master.”
“Hey.”
Sihyeon looked around and clapped in admiration.
“You’ve really made a mess of things. That thing in your hand is… … .”
“Ah. He’s the guy called Black Spear.”
“I hate to say this, but you’ve really messed up the kid.”
As Si-hyeon said, Kim Hyeon’s condition was very bad.
The sunglasses were smashed.
One arm was so tattered that it was unrecognizable.
How can they just sit back and do nothing after Kim Hyun, one of the five players who threatened the Korean peninsula, was left in such a state?
As expected, Oakzent, this guy was no pushover either.
No, it wasn’t easy, but even for the current Sihyeon, it would be extremely difficult to subdue the guy without getting hurt.
‘It’s fortunate that he’s my servant. This ignorant bastard.’
thud.
Okjun roughly threw the Kim Hyun he was holding in his hand.
“Ugh… … .”
The impact of hitting the floor caused the guy to sit up.
“Hey, this is… … .”
“Are you in your right mind?”
“Ugh… … This voice… … The Fallen King?”
“okay.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
This was a hint that there was some kind of plan to use Kim Hyun.
Unfortunately, the guy didn’t notice any of this.
“Let’s do something together.”
“What the heck is this… … .”
“How dare you approach the master.”
bang!
Before Kim Hyun started talking nonsense.
Oakjan approached the guy and pressed his head against his chest.
“Take it easy. If you don’t, the child will die.”
“Euuuuu… … . Damn it! Lee Si-Hyeon! What did I do to you that you’re saying this!”
“What did you do?”
Si-hyeon, who saw Kim Hyeon, approached the guy.
“You betrayed the humans and sided with the dark elves. Do you think I didn’t know?”
“What does it matter to you if you haven’t been harmed!”
“Well, I didn’t get hurt, but you know.”
Shh.
“It just pisses me off.”
“what……?”
“You have no reason. You just have to suffer.”
Thud thud.
“Okay, let’s go. To the sinkhole.”
Sihyeon comes to the amusement park and kills or subdues the dark elves there with Oakjan.
The human players who had been captured in advance were also safely rescued.
But the seventeenth plague is not over yet.
It’s not even over yet, it hasn’t even started yet.
“This way, master.”
We were guided by Dakkon, who had already finished clearing out the dark elves.
Sihyeon was able to come to the ‘sinkhole’, a huge and deep hole that the guys were guarding.
“Dakkon! What are you doing! Are you betraying Asgard and Svartalfheim?”
“You talk too much, Oakjan.”
Swish.
Oakjan raised his fist.
Kim Hyun flinched when he felt that.
Because he had been beaten up quite a bit after being defeated by Oakzan.
The guy couldn’t help but instinctively cringe.
“good.”
Sihyeon, standing in front of the sinkhole, had shining eyes.
The goal of this quest is to enter the sinkhole and survive.
‘Before returning, I had a question. Why should I enter this sinkhole while going through the dark elves who didn’t even bother attacking first?’
But there were good reasons for that.
Entering the sinkhole will take you to Svartalfheim, the world of dark elves.
You can increase your stats by clearing the sub-quests there.
‘That’s also a stat separate from level.’
If you don’t clear the quests within it, your experience points will not increase, but your stats will increase.
If you think about it shallowly, you might think, ‘Why catch it when you don’t even gain experience points?’
But if you think about it a little deeper, or are a veteran player, you will understand what this means.
‘There is a level limit for players.’
The so-called max level is 120.
This is also the reason why the Sihyeon trait ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ can only bring 12 God items.
All ‘players’ cannot level up any further than this.
This means that you can no longer expect stat increases due to level.
‘What this means is… … the more you raise stats that are not related to level, the better. Because there is a clear limit to the player.’
Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, opened the status window and checked.
Level: 84
Class: Hidden
Title: King of Gacha (EX)
Armory of the Brilliant God (EX)
[Strength 65] [Consistency 65] [Agility 68] [Intelligence 117]
[Magi 962]
[Attack power 377]
[Physical Resistance 400] [Magic Resistance 400]
[Physical Resistance Penetration +40%]
[Magic Resistance Penetration +40%]
[Attack speed +250%]
[Movement speed +100%]
[Casting speed +100%]
Sihyeon has been making numerous plans and obtaining items to strengthen her stats.
As a result, not only was the level high, but it also had the highest stats compared to its level.
Not to mention the intelligence stat that went from 100 to 117.
Since I invested all the stats I got from level rewards into stamina, my strength, stamina, and agility stats are now roughly similar.
‘Magic has especially increased.’
Sihyeon smiled with satisfaction.
Special stats such as magic, magical power, and divine power.
The most important factor in handling the divine items that Sihyeon possesses.
That’s why it had a fairly high number.
‘This will make your magic attacks incredibly strong.’
‘Magic attacks’ such as Astraphe’s Thunderbolt, Lightning Tear, and Unholy Judgement are greatly affected by intelligence and magic.
The higher your intelligence stat, the more damage you can inflict.
And special stats like magic power, divine power, and magic are a kind of vessel.
The higher your stats, the more skills you can use and sustain.
And that’s not all.
Even for the same skill, its power can vary greatly depending on how much magic is used to manifest it.
Although it varies depending on the skill, it becomes more powerful in proportion to the magic consumed.
That is why the magic stat could be seen as essential.
‘It’s the most important stat from my perspective.’
Also, considering that ‘linking’ the items of the gods consumes a huge amount of magical energy.
If your magic stat is high, you can do anything.
‘My magic stat is almost at 1,000. That means it won’t decrease no matter how much I use it right now.’
Of course, there is also a way to continue consuming potions using Kibisis.
In the first place, the magic barrel had to be wide to allow for synergy effects between multiple items, as was previously used against the dark elves.
Multicasting.
The basis for this was neither a brilliant mind nor the ability to multitask.
It was a vessel of magic like the ocean that would not budge no matter how much was pumped into it.
“Let’s go.”
After finishing the verification, Sihyeon grabbed Kim Hyeon by the back of his neck and walked towards the sinkhole.
“Let go, let go!”
Completely ignoring what Kim Hyun said.
Sihyeon jumped into deep darkness.
“Eww!”
[Warning! You are entering a sinkhole.]
[Warning! The maximum number of people allowed to enter the sinkhole is 2, and the difficulty level increases significantly as the number of people increases.]
[We recommend that you enter alone.]
“You’re sending me this message after everyone has come in. This is so in bad taste.”
The inside of the sinkhole was literally pitch black.
In the darkness, the only thing that was clearly visible was a holographic window that helped guide the way.
[Acquire the sub-quest, .]
Goal: Survive within the time limit.
Rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
If failed: All primary stats decrease by 20.
[Time remaining: 10 hours.]
“Main stat decreased by 20?”
Kim Hyun’s eyes widened when he saw the failure penalty.
“Isn’t this just like telling me to turn around?”
“Right. So if we succeed, that’s fine. You and me.”
“What is that… … .”
Before Kim Hyun’s doubts were resolved.
The message resonated.
[Warning! Residents of Svartalfheim appear.]
[Warning! One of your random senses is restricted due to a penalty.]
[The field of vision of the fallen king ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’ and the black spear ‘Kim Hyeon’ is limited.]
[Health is restored to 100% and all injuries are healed.]
[Surviving the inhabitants of Svartalfheim.]
Tzuzuzu, that is.
The limited ‘field of vision’ was a good thing for Si-hyeon and Kim-hyeon.
Kim Hyun-eun is a blind person who can’t see anyway.
To him, having his field of vision limited was nothing.
‘The only problem is… … .’
To the energy felt around me.
Kim Hyun swallowed dry saliva.
‘The Fallen King. Can he really exert his power?’
When a person who originally had a field of vision says that their field of vision is now obstructed.
This is not easy to overcome.
‘Will I be able to get through this?’
Judging from the aura I felt, there were quite a few dark elves.
Although he didn’t understand why Lee Si-Hyeon had brought him here.
If you fail a sub-quest, your main stat will decrease by 20.
‘You can never fail.’
Jeeeeing!
Around Kim Hyun’s body like that.
The black runes began to glow once again.
“good.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of his mouth as he lifted the Cheonjongun Sword.
It would be better if my sense of touch and taste were numb.
Even though I was visually paralyzed, I still got third place.
If his hearing or sense of smell had been paralyzed, Kim Hyun would not have been able to use his strength.
‘The sub-quests that take place inside the sinkhole will raise your stats. However, there are some things to be careful of.’
The method of increasing stats inside the sinkhole was as follows.
First of all, the lower the stat, the greater the increase.
Depending on which stat you use to survive the endless waves of enemies, your stats will increase.
‘I don’t need to raise my intelligence and magic stats right now. They’re enough.’
Sihyeon held the Cheonjongun Sword with both hands.
‘In this sub-quest, do not use any other items or skills affected by magic or intelligence.’
Swish.
To increase your strength, stamina, and agility stats.
The method Sihyeon chose was to engage in close combat using only the ‘Cheon-chong-un-geom’.
“Hey, Kim Hyun. Isn’t that it?”
“… … What are you talking about?”
Thud. Thud.
Dark elves are getting closer and closer.
And Kim Hyun-eun heard what Si-hyeon said in front of the ‘somethings’ that were not visible but had considerable size.
I was gripped by an unknown sense of anxiety.
Because I had a gut feeling that this guy was going to do something.
“The reason I brought you here.”
“I don’t think that’s important?”
“Important. The higher the difficulty of this sub-quest, the greater the reward.”
“If the difficulty level increases, wouldn’t the probability of failure also increase?”
“Probability of failure?”
Sigh.
“There’s no such thing.”
“… … .”
“That’s why I’m saying that it’s advantageous to increase the difficulty level to the extreme.”
“With what confidence… … .”
There are three ways to increase the difficulty.
The first is to bring in high-ranking players from the current region.
The second was to bring ‘more’ people.
But two people was the maximum.
The difficulty level was the highest a high ranker, Kim Hyeon, ranked 7th, could realistically bring.
And the last ‘third’.
It was to arouse the hatred of the dark elves.
Even if these guys are nothing more than illusions that resemble reality.
The ‘feelings’ these guys had were real.
In other words, the provocation worked on these guys.
“You stupid pointy-eared bastards!”
At Sihyeon’s cry.
The dark elves stopped for a moment.
Even though Sihyeon couldn’t see ahead at the moment.
I could tell that the guys had stopped.
“Here you are, Black Spear, Kim Hyun! Thanks to this guy betraying you, I was able to gain a lot of benefits.”
“You, you? What is this… … .”
“And listen carefully! Horde!”
Shh.
“Your contractor is now on my side. Do you know that? Thanks to this guy’s betrayal and defeat by Orczan, I was able to kill countless dark elves, save humans, and even subdue Dakkon. Hahaha. I spared Dakkon’s life because I felt bad for him, so shouldn’t he treat me like a dog?”
“This crazy guy… … .”
Kim Hyun, who heard Si Hyeon’s words, opened his mouth without even thinking of refuting.
“Horde, you’re so weak.”
Horde, the dark god of war.
This Aesir god is known to be more aggressive than the Orcs.
No one was more vulnerable to such provocation than he was.
And this fact was known best by Kim Hyun himself.
[Warning! Sub-quest difficulty increases rapidly.]
[Warning! Sub-quest difficulty increases rapidly.]
Tsuzujeok.
just as expected.
The test difficulty began to increase rapidly with numerous messages.
[Warning! One of your random senses is further restricted due to a penalty.]
[The taste buds of the fallen king ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’ and the black spear ‘Kim Hyeon’ are limited.]
“Hey you son of a bitch!”
Kim Hyun shouted at Si Hyeon, spitting out saliva.
“If you’re going to die, die alone. Why did you drag me here too… … .”
“I don’t think that’s important?”
Sihyeon chuckled.
“I have to survive. I don’t want my main stats to drop.”
“shit!”
Because the situation was unavoidable.
Kim Hyun leapt forward, holding up the black spear.
