God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 014
14. Giant Gremlin
“Ugh… … .”
“No more… … .”
Despite Sihyeon’s efforts, the players were getting tired one by one.
Buffs and divine magic from priests.
And it was true that the holy power possessed by the knights was strong against demons like gremlins.
Most gremlins could be killed with just one swing of the weapon.
The only problem was the numbers.
Those little devils that covered the earth and sky in green were endless no matter how many times they were killed.
‘Is it the end?’
‘There’s still a lot of time left… …!’
The situation was getting worse and worse.
Thanks to Sihyeon’s protection, there have been no deaths yet.
This alone was nothing short of a miracle.
But no matter how much effort was put into it, it was impossible to stop the number of casualties from increasing.
And then.
A desperate message resonated.
[Warning! 1,000 gremlins have died.]
[Warning! The gremlin corpses are starting to clump together.]
[Warning! Hidden boss, ‘Giant Gremlin’ appears.]
Kookookookookook… … .
The corpses of the gremlins that had been filling the area around the Holy Relics and Gangdong Station were gathering in one spot.
‘Even if I prepare… … .’
Sihyeon’s planning and preparation were thorough.
It was to the point where a new faction called the body disposal team was created to keep them in check.
But even so, it was not possible to dispose of all the gremlin corpses.
Kkuddeuk… … Kkuddeuk… … .
The bodies of the men were clumped together, revealing the shape of a single demon.
“Can I borrow this?”
“……yes yes.”
Seeing that sight, Sihyeon quickly picked up the spear of a knight next to him.
Thanks to the priests, the commander of the Holy Knights, Jeong Jin-su, was recovering from his injuries and was active.
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is placed in ‘A Blacksmith’s Spear (E)’.]
[Item, activates the effect of ‘Holy Glory (E)’.]
[All magical power is converted to divine power for 5 minutes.]
Sihyeon held the spear in his hand tightly as if it would break.
Of course, there was also a way to make a spear with an astrape and throw it.
However, strictly speaking, the Astrape is a secondary weapon.
It can be most powerful when used in conjunction with a main weapon.
Tzuzuzu, that is.
White lightning began to surround the ‘Blacksmith’s Spear’ that Sihyeon was holding.
‘Not yet.’
Sihyeon waited for the right timing while holding the window.
Kkuddeuk.
And then, the moment the gremlins’ corpses began to take the shape of something.
[Activates skill, ‘Spear Throw (D)’.]
Flash!
The spear in Sihyeon’s hand shot forward.
Tsk tsk tsk!
With a sound that could cut through the wind and burn it.
Crackle.
It passed through the heart of something that was just beginning to take shape.
“Kirruruk!”
And all the countless gremlins along the way were being destroyed.
[Awesome! You’ve defeated the hidden boss, ‘Giant Gremlin’.]
[You earn 4,000 points.]
[Level up!]
… … .
“Go, thank you.”
“Thank you. Do you have a spare sword?”
“… … Yes. There is.”
Kkuddududuk.
Without even a chance to have a proper conversation.
Sihyeon stepped forward.
With the appearance of a white sun blazing.
The flames of vision swept across the front.
Whoosh whoosh.
Seeing the corpse of a giant gremlin completely engulfed in flames.
The players cheered.
“good!”
“also!”
“Phew… … .”
Despite the players’ cheers.
Sihyeon raised his sword again.
“Phew… … .”
There was absolutely no time to rest.
[Until the end of the fourth plague: 1 day.]
[Until the end of the fourth disaster: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.]
[No more gremlins will be added.]
[Warning! ‘Giant Gremlins’ will now continue to spawn.]
[Warning! The gremlin corpses are starting to clump together. (100)]
[Warning! The gremlin corpses are starting to clump together. (300)]
… … .
[Warning! Hidden boss, ‘Giant Gremlin’ appears.]
[Warning! Hidden boss, ‘Giant Gremlin’ appears.]
Tsuzujeok.
When there are less than 24 hours left.
Cracks that seemed like they would stay open forever began to close one by one.
Instead, the gremlins’ corpses were clumped together and each one was revealing its own form.
They weren’t as huge as a thousand of them, but each and every one of them had great strength.
Of course, it was incredibly hopeful that no more gremlins would be added.
Things weren’t going well.
Of course, we had to kill the remaining gremlins, and even if we killed them, we had to kill the ‘giant gremlins’ that were created from the corpses clumping together.
But Sihyeon had already made plans for this.
“Youngwoo! Now is the time!”
“Yes, brother!”
That’s when giant gremlins started appearing one after another.
Seo Young-woo put his hands together as if praying and muttered something.
[Warning! Illusionary fog covers the area.]
With a warning message.
A pure white fog began to spread around.
Thanks to the priests using wind magic as Sihyeon had told them in advance.
The fog was spreading in all directions much faster than it originally spread.
“Kururuk?”
“Carr?”
Thanks to each other’s hallucinations.
The gremlins and the giant gremlins recognized each other as enemies.
Seo Young-woo’s illusionary fog had the power to make people perceive him as a hateful being the stronger the opponent was.
The gremlins began to slash and bite each other like crazy.
“it was good.”
“Thank you… … .”
“Focus!”
Things were a lot easier than before.
At the same time, giant gremlins are running wild and killing each other.
Because the gremlins died out in the aftermath.
Even the giant gremlins ran wild and trampled the corpses of other gremlins.
There is only one thing Si-Hyeon must do here.
It was a matter of getting caught between gremlins.
A white sun and golden lightning swept across the area.
The sword cut down the gremlins.
Because the task was to cut down the already injured giant gremlins and burn only their corpses.
The work wasn’t that hard.
‘Killing a giant gremlin and gaining experience so easily… … This is so cool.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
While he was running wild like this, other players only had to take care of the priests and guard the relics.
There was no need to worry anymore.
‘It’s sturdy.’
Si-hyeon raised the corners of her mouth when she saw Seo Young-woo.
Before returning, when I met him as an enemy and fought him, I was so annoyed that I said, ‘He really fights dirty.’
Because of the hallucinations he was showing, his colleagues started fighting each other, and he even manipulated the souls of his dead colleagues and resurrected them.
There was considerable damage caused by the white lightning that struck there every moment.
Seo Young-woo’s power was now directed at the demons, not Si-hyeon.
When Sihyeon herself was hit, she naturally said, “You’re like a dog.”
The blade was incredibly strong as it was pointed at the enemy.
‘That guy is really useful. He can utilize Ramiel’s power to this extreme.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘I think we need to change the plan a little.’
Whoosh whoosh.
Flash!
A white sun and golden lightning fell between the giant gremlin and the gremlins.
“Kuuuuuuuu!”
“Kyaarrrr… … .”
Eventually, the gremlins began to fall one by one.
Sihyeon and Seoyoungwoo.
Thanks to the two of them showing a better combination than expected.
The ‘crisis’ that the giant gremlin continues to create has instead turned into an ‘opportunity’.
“Kuuuuuuu… … .”
So the giant gremlin and the gremlins fell.
It was no use even though countless gremlins were gathering.
Because Seo Young-woo’s barrier surrounded the area, the guys attacked each other before the players.
And because Sihyeon was holding on strong.
All other players had to do was fend off the occasional gremlin attack, and there was nothing more they could do.
“Wow, that’s great… … .”
“Is this the power of the two of you?”
“It’s amazing that just the two of them can show this much power… … .”
The players were busy admiring it.
And I felt relieved.
As long as those two guard this place, they will be safe.
A sense of relief and confidence arose that we would somehow be able to overcome any disaster that came our way.
At the same time, a fire was lit in my chest.
I wanted to be strong like those two players and emerge from the disaster.
Overwhelming strength.
It was enough to set men’s hearts on fire just by looking at it.
‘Yeah. Someday I will too… … .’
‘If you steadily level up, get items, and improve your skills.’
‘Yes… … You can protect people from demons like that.’
Thanks to working hard for a whole day.
[Time left until the end of the fourth disaster: 0 seconds.]
[All three relics are safe!]
[You have cleared the main quest, .]
[Level up!]
[You gain 4 distributable stats.]
[Successfully overcame the fourth disaster.]
[The gremlins return to their original world.]
[Relics being used by players will be recovered.]
Cracks in the air began to absorb the gremlins.
In this way, players from Songpa-gu, Gwangjin-gu, and Gangdong-gu were able to end the fourth disaster without much damage.
“A message has appeared!”
“Move the injured.”
“Assess the casualties.”
With Seo Young-woo’s instructions.
The Dongsan players moved quickly.
Still, I had been through a few disasters.
They all seemed familiar with it and were quickly cleaning up.
“It’s a miracle, brother.”
Seo Young-woo, who had come closer without me noticing, shouted with the aforementioned expression.
“No casualties. What a relief… … .”
“Okay, Inma. Don’t cling to me.”
“older brother…….”
“I’m not interested in men! You punk!”
Looking at Seo Young-woo, who was jumping around like a child and trying to cling to him.
Sihyeon pushed him away, disgusted.
‘If you cared so much for your people, why did you do such a thing before your regression?’
Looking at Seo Young-woo like that.
Sihyeon tilted her head.
‘Is it related to Seo Ji-hye? Or is it because Ramiel is talking nonsense? Could it be that the Seo Young-woo I knew… wasn’t actually a bad person from the beginning?’
As of now, it is unknown what happened to Seo Young-woo.
‘Well. We’ll find out as we go.’
There was something more important than this right now.
compensation.
While Seo Young-woo and the Dongsan players were cleaning up.
Sihyeon used Kibisis to suck up the gremlin corpses and items.
[The fourth plague ends and the ‘contract’ is made.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
… … .
[God of Destruction, ‘Shiva’.]
[The god of arrogance, ‘Lucifer’.]
[The god of wrath, ‘Satan’.]
… … .
[God of Thunder, ‘Thor’.]
[God of War, ‘Ares’.]
Excluding the three who have now become almost fixed members.
There was something unusual about the gods who offered the contract this time.
‘Hmm… … .’
There were no angels belonging to Eden or gods who used divine powers.
Even the devil and the demons came rushing in with offers of contracts.
‘But pass.’
Now let’s get the list of gods down to a really simple level.
Messages regarding MVP rewards were surfacing.
[There are three MVPs in the fourth disaster.]
[MVP 1st place: Lee Si-Hyeon.]
[MVP 2nd place: Chun Yuri.]
[MVP 3rd place: Seo Young-woo.]
[Receive 40,000 points as an MVP reward.]
[Personal rewards are given.]
The MVP of the disaster is how many demons he has caught while thoroughly dealing with them.
Or, they are distinguished by how much they helped overcome the disaster.
Because Sihyeon had caught an overwhelming number of gremlins.
The first place was, of course, Sihyeon.
[The first player in line is Lee Si-Hyeon.]
[You can obtain one of the three relics.]
[First Relic: Sword.]
[Second Relic: Staff.]
[Third Relic: Mirror.]
‘Other relics are good too, but this one is the best for me.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘It’s a sword.’
What Sihyeon needs is a main weapon.
Among them, the most familiar one was the ‘sword’.
[You obtain the item, ‘Relic: Sword of the Blind Angel (B)’.]
