God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 013
13. Defense of the Holy Relics
One minute left until the fourth plague begins.
The knights in the garden were trembling with an unknown fear.
It was a disaster I had already experienced three times, but it was even more frightening because it happened three times.
I encountered a goblin without any preparation.
A green snake that was small enough to sneak through armor and kill numerous players with its neurotoxin.
Not only were the weapons useless, but even the tenacious and agile Frogman was effective.
They were all opponents who gave me goosebumps.
“Still, it’s fortunate that we can know the disaster in advance.”
“That’s right. This time, I’m fully prepared, so I can overcome it.”
The knights, soldiers, and priests looked at each other and encouraged each other.
Unlike previous disasters, this one was also well prepared.
Still, it was a hopeful situation.
“It’s all thanks to him.”
“That’s right, Mr. Lee Si-Hyeon.”
The players looked at a man.
A halo like the sun blazing with pure white divine power.
Almost the same white skin, big eyes.
Black hair and red lips contrast with it.
A pure white longsword in hand.
A being who recently entered the castle and took control of all the knights with his powerful force, charisma, and leadership.
It was Lee Si-Hyeon.
His performance was outstanding.
He informed us of our next opponent with his prophetic traits that no one knew about, and prepared us for them.
He occasionally visited the knights to train with them and teach them swordsmanship.
Is that all?
When priests were struggling with difficult magic formulas, he would find answers and explain them.
He also trained soldiers.
It was hard to believe that he was so young and so multi-talented.
‘What is missing?’
‘Even his face is handsome.’
‘It’s no wonder that the Savior only fights with that human.’
Some players were jealous of this, though.
Most players were positive about the vision.
In a disaster like this, a leader with such strong power is absolutely necessary.
“Don’t be nervous.”
As Sihyeon opened her mouth.
Everyone focused on him.
“Disaster is no problem at all. As long as we are united. Now, I am with you.”
Sihyeon was the only one among them who did not tremble.
At his calm appearance.
Not only the knights, but also the soldiers and priests nearby were gaining courage.
“That’s right. We have Lee Si-Hyeon!”
“The chosen one of Archangel Michael!”
“Three consecutive MVPs!”
“Okay. Now.”
[Time left until the fourth plague: 1 second.]
Whoosh whoosh.
[Time left until the fourth disaster: 0 seconds.]
“let’s go.”
[The fourth plague begins.]
[The fourth plague is ‘Gremlin’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Objective: Defend all relics in the area.
Reward: [Distributable Stat +4] [Level +1]
Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
If failed: Gremlins will spawn infinitely.
*Generation will stop when the number of players remaining in the ‘Eastern Seoul Region’ drops below half.
[Time left until the end of the fourth disaster: 2 days.]
Kookookookook… … .
The ground shook.
Three small pyramids began to rise.
On top of each pyramid was a pink sphere, containing a ‘holy relic’, the object of protection for the main quest.
and.
Tzuzuzu, that is.
As always, cracks appeared throughout Seoul.
Rumble.
“Kirrrrrr!”
“Karrrrr!”
The demons that emerged were demons with green skin.
On his head were short ears that flapped as if vibrating, and in the middle of his forehead were small eyes.
The long nails were sharp and strong enough to cut through even the largest bricks.
The sound waves that were constantly being emitted were directly hitting the players’ eardrums, causing confusion.
What are the names of those demons that run and fly around with small bodies that don’t even reach the knees of an adult male?
Gremlin.
“Clararara!”
Small size and overwhelming quantity.
The guys started flying towards the relic without hesitation.
The place where the relic and the small pyramid protecting it were built was the same as before the return.
One of them was a university near Seoul Children’s Grand Park.
‘If it’s the same as the previous one, the other place will be easily blocked by the Gwangjin-gu players. There’s Cheon Yu-ri there.’
The remaining two locations coincidentally overlapped.
Gangdong Station, Seoul.
It was very close to Cheonho Station, which was occupied by Dongsan.
“We have to stop it.”
The players in the dungeon quickly moved to the location of the relic.
The vision and knights in Gangdong-gu suddenly found themselves guarding two holy relics.
“now!”
At Sihyeon’s cry.
As planned, the knights divided into three groups and moved.
The first camp was the one that took the lead in dealing with the gremlins along with Shihyeon.
This was the camp that suffered the most, and it was the most difficult camp both mentally and physically as they had to kill the gremlins at the very front.
The second camp is those who protect the priests.
Occasionally a faction that protects priests and relics from gremlins that the first faction misses.
It could be seen as the final line of defense.
The last group is the body disposal team.
Gremlins couldn’t let their guard down when someone cut off their throat or stabbed them in the heart.
Because their corpses could be gathered together in one place and exert tremendous power.
That’s why we needed players who specialized in just chopping up corpses.
They were the fewest in number, and soon had to replace the exhausted first faction.
They were absolutely necessary.
“Don’t give up! The moment you give up, you lose!”
In the middle of gremlins.
Sihyeon shouted while holding a pure white sword.
[Eden’s Holy Sword (C)]
#A sword granted to the player by the angels of Eden.
Main weapon (one-handed sword)
Effect
[Attack Power +10]
[Divine Power + 5]
The Holy Sword of Eden.
It was the most usable sword among those found in the armory.
[Activates skill, ‘Holy Weapon (E)’.]
The sword of Shihyeon was imbued with divine power.
Because divine power is an excellent power to deal with demon species.
The skin of the gremlins that touched it was burned black.
‘also…….’
‘As expected, you are amazing.’
‘To play the role of all three factions by yourself.’
Sihyeon was performing the roles of all these factions.
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is infused.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is transformed.]
Crunch.
The sword imbued with divine power was once again covered with golden lightning.
As Sihyeon swung his sword in that state, several gremlins at the front were cut down.
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ splits.]
Golden lightning electrocuted and killed the gremlins near the priest and the relic.
Hururuk.
The white sun behind Sihyeon burned the gremlins’ corpses.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Karrrrr!”
The gremlins instinctively realized that among the numerous players, Sihyeon was the most dangerous and swarmed towards him.
Crackle.
But it was no use.
Their claws couldn’t penetrate Sihyeon’s armor.
Michael’s Armor, Holy Glory.
It was impossible for those weak and ‘demonic’ guys to penetrate this armor.
[Gremlin defeated.]
[You have earned 4 points.]
[Experience points increase.]
… … .
Since he was taking no damage from the guys, Sihyeon was swinging his sword using only the ‘Holy Weapon’.
In this way, dozens and hundreds of gremlins began to die by one vision.
Despite this kind of activity,
The situation was getting worse and worse.
“Ugh… … .”
“What, what is this?”
“Damn… … . When will it end?”
Gremlin was extremely weak compared to other demons.
It is said that they are small in size, difficult to grasp, have strong claws, and have the characteristic of flying around.
That was all.
Weaker than Green Snake or Frogman, and even weaker than Goblin.
But there was a fatal problem.
“medical charge…….”
“There are too many.”
No matter how many times I killed the gremlin, it never ended.
Unlike previous disasters, which disappeared once the cracks opened.
The cracks that were spewing out gremlins did not disappear.
‘This is the scariest thing about gremlins.’
Slaying gremlins with the surrounding knights.
Sihyeon muttered.
The guys were weak but there were many of them.
If you let your guard down even for a moment, your armor and entire body will be torn to shreds by the overwhelming numbers.
Thanks to being armed with Sihyeon’s information in advance, I was able to hold out somehow.
This too is for a moment.
As soon as the gremlins started pouring down, the sky and everything else around them became invisible.
The players backed away as if they were tired.
[Skill, ‘Bless (D)’ increases all primary stats by 1.]
[Skill, ‘Heavenly Hymn (C)’ increases your Stamina stat by 5.]
[Skill, ‘Blessing of Glory (C)’ increases Magic and Divine Power stats by 5.]
And at that moment.
Ahhh.
With singing voice.
The buffs of the priests, led by Seo Young-woo, permeated the players’ bodies.
Kwajik!
The buffed paladins swung their weapons.
Players who were not part of the Dongsan also joined forces to fight.
“Block the way!”
“If that breaks, it’s over!”
Even though they couldn’t directly protect the relic from the gremlins, the players were killing as many gremlins as they could.
Seo Young-woo’s performance was also great.
The white lightning that came out of the guy swept away the gremlins.
Because the fog filled with divine power caused the gremlins to hallucinate and kill each other.
“Ugh… … . Ugh… … .”
“No more… … .”
The players in the garden were panting for breath.
Since there were two relics here, twice as many gremlins were coming here as elsewhere.
“Krrrrrr?”
“Huh?”
But the guys were persistent.
They continued to pursue the vision and the holy relics, regardless of how many of their own people died.
‘Things that are disgusting.’
Sihyeon muttered like that and swung his sword again.
There was no need to worry about getting hurt, and the opponent wasn’t strong.
The most important thing now is to protect the holy relics.
And it was a proper physical distribution.
‘You don’t need a lot of strength to fight gremlins. What really matters is stamina management.’
Crunch.
So Sihyeon kept cutting, cutting, and cutting again.
“and…….”
“Is this really the reverse?”
“It’s a different dimension?”
“At least ten with each swing… … .”
“The attack doesn’t work.”
The other players who saw Sihyeon’s appearance opened their mouths.
“Focus!”
“If we do well, we can win!”
“Okay! Let’s follow Lee Si-Hyeon!”
Sihyeon’s very existence was hope.
He stood alone, fighting off about a third of the gremlins that came here with just his sword.
‘The fame was not in vain.’
Seo Young-woo, who confirmed the appearance with the ‘eyes of an angel’, was secretly amazed.
Even though I couldn’t see ahead, I had a rough idea of what was going on.
Seo Young-woo has been gathering information about Si-hyeon through rumors and the eyes of angels.
‘Your brother’s greatest power is, of course, the golden lightning. You don’t even use the strange pouch now. But how can you slaughter a gremlin like that?’
Even while slicing through the gremlins, Sihyeon would wander around and give healing and barriers to the paladins and priests.
‘You take such great care of people… … You won’t let anyone die? You can do such a crazy thing all by yourself?’
Seo Young-woo swallowed dry saliva.
‘Arrogant. But if it can be done, none of these countless people will die. Not a single one of the people I’ve gathered… …who believe in me and follow me will die.’
Just imagining it made my heart race.
Seo Young-woo was already heartbroken by the deaths of people whenever a disaster struck.
Being with Sihyeon helped me prevent that heartburn.
‘… … With Hyung Si-Hyeon, who is close to perfection… … it might really be possible.’
Main stat, stamina distribution.
Combat sense, situational judgment, confidence, brains, and even leadership.
There was nothing lacking.
“Exhausted knights, fall back. We will change formation.”
In this way, he occasionally checks the situation with his ‘angel eyes’.
Seo Young-woo commanded the players in unison.
“We can’t fall behind either!”
“yes!”
Kkuddeuk.
And then.
In the meantime, no one knows.
The corpses of the gremlins that had remained began to crawl toward a certain location.
Soon they began to gather in one place.
