God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 164

105. Gorgon (1)

“huh?”

“Hey! A new sub-quest has appeared?”

“where?”

“Ohh…….”

Change station.

A new wind has begun to blow here.

The reason was simple.

This was because a new type of sub-quest that had never been seen before was created.

Objective: After hunting the Iron Snake inside the train station, submit the Magic Stone and its corpse as evidence to the Change Station ‘Hidden Market’.

Reward:

[500 points] per corpse.

[Extra experience points] per corpse.

Additional rewards:

1) When bringing more than 1,000

[Distributable Stat +4]

2) When bringing more than 10,000

[Level Up Ticket (SS)]

In case of failure: No penalty.

*This quest can be received regardless of your pass level.

*This quest is not included in the ‘Quest List’.

Objective: After hunting the elves inside the train station, submit the magic stone and its corpse as evidence to the change station ‘Hidden Market’.

Reward:

[500 points] per corpse.

[Extra experience points] per corpse.

Additional rewards:

1) When bringing more than 1,000

[Distributable Stat +4]

2) When bringing more than 10,000

[Level Up Ticket (SS)]

In case of failure: No penalty.

*This quest can be received regardless of your pass level.

*This quest is not included in the ‘Quest List’.

“Wow, the compensation is crazy?”

“Is that so?”

“There are no penalties… … and anyone can participate.”

“Because you can receive it regardless of your rank.”

“What does it say that is not included in the ‘Quest List’?”

“Does this mean that I can handle other quests with just an E-class pass?”

“Ohh…….”

Players, one by one, registered for two newly created sub-quests.

Since there was no penalty for failure, there was no burden.

“Registering for a quest like this… … .”

The stationmaster, Cosio, who saw that sight, laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“It’s funny. It’s funny. None of the stonemen would have thought to attack the Iron Snake first.”

“Right.”

Cosio’s office.

Sitting on the sofa in front of it, sipping an iced Americano.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

Most of the stone people were tied up with work related to ‘stations’ and ‘trains’ and were unable to move.

Even on the subway, where he has an advantageous position, he gets attacked by Iron Snake.

If we headed towards their base, it was obvious that we would just get killed.

‘It’s worth investing in.’

In fact, even though Sihyeon has an A-rank quest.

This quest given by Sihyeon did not grant any distributable stats or ‘Level Up Tickets (SS)’.

Both of these were possible only with the permission of the system.

So Cosio helped Sihyeon a little bit to make this possible.

Of course, I couldn’t ‘pay’ it.

“Keep in mind. Even if I somehow manage to get the distributable stats… … I only have four ‘Level Up Tickets (SS)’.”

“are you okay.”

Sihyeon took a sip of her iced Americano and smiled.

“That’s impossible in the first place.”

“Impossible?”

“yes.”

There was a reason why Sihyeon was so confident.

‘It’s difficult for the current players to properly catch the Iron Snakes.’

Iron Snake’s body cannot be cut by just any weapon.

Of course, with the powerful divine weapons that Sihyeon possessed, he could have easily cut them apart in one go.

Considering how crazy fast they are underground, that would be impossible.

Even with Sihyeon’s strength, catching 300 Iron Snakes hiding in every corner is the limit.

‘Gasari and I have almost monopolized the quest, so you probably don’t know much about the dangers of the Iron Snake.’

The second sub-quest also had a trap.

According to Dacon, the elves that Rammia brought were approximately 700 in number.

There weren’t even 1,000 of them to begin with.

“Well, even if you include everything you thought of, the amount of money you’ll get in points will be quite large, right?”

“There must be a deficit.”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“But what can we do? If we want to catch Medusa, we have to reduce the Iron Snake that she has.”

“Good attitude.”

Cosio laughed.

“Leave the disposal of the Iron Snakes’ bodies to me.”

“Yes. I will believe you.”

In fact, even if you sold all of the Iron Snake’s corpse and magic stones, it wouldn’t even be worth 300 gold.

This was because the magic stones they had were old and had little magic power left.

‘Then I’m seeing a deficit of 200 points.’

Just think of how many Iron Snakes a bunch of human players will catch.

It was a clear deficit.

Anyone could see that it was the same.

‘But I have a life.’

Sihyeon laughed inwardly.

Iron that comes out after feeding the corpse of an iron snake to Gasal.

Just selling this as is could earn you more than 1,000 points.

This was because it was high-quality iron that had been filtered of impurities and contained divine power.

That is, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the vision ‘earns’ 800 points every time players bring in a corpse.

“Thank you for your sacrifice.”

Cosio, who didn’t even know that, was truly moved by Sihyeon.

I thought he was going to great lengths to kill Medusa, even at the cost of financial loss.

‘There is no reason to resolve this kind of misunderstanding.’

I think that good things are good things.

“By the way, is what I was talking about being produced well?”

“Of course. It should be fully operational by tomorrow.”

“It’s good.”

“Yeah. It’s been a week now?”

“Yes. While I was wandering around, I also figured out the location of the three Gorgon sisters.”

Sihyeon’s eyes lit up.

“Now it’s time to draw your sword.”

***

[How did this happen?]

Train Maze, Uncharted Territory.

The darkest place.

In the middle of it, unlike other places where there are rocks and earth, there are swamps and vines.

A woman wearing an iron mask shook her head.

[Humans are crawling along these days.]

[This must be the result of the stone people’s calculations.]

The two women next to her approached and said.

Both women had the lower half of a snake and the upper half of a human woman.

Her hair was made of platinum snakes.

[That’s what I’m saying.]

The eyes of Medusa looking at her two sisters.

It flashed beyond the iron mask.

Her hair was made up of thousands of thin snakes, and at first glance it looked like it was rustling.

Those snakes made of diamonds were harder and more ferocious than any other material.

[Because I am human… … .]

Medusa suddenly remembered the hero who had beheaded her and stroked her neck.

[Still, those guys are better than God.]

[Of course… … .]

[The gods are trash! Especially Poseidon and Athena… … .]

Medusa, who was watching her sisters swearing like that, suddenly had bright eyes.

[Okay, ladies. I think it’s time.]

Tightening the iron mask even tighter.

Medusa moved her diamond snake lower body.

[Join Station. Let’s start from there.]

The three Gorgon sisters, mythical beasts resurrected, have only one goal:

Destroy the dwarves and earthenmen who brought them back to life in such horrible forms.

It was to occupy all the mazes.

***

[Player ‘Roman’ has cleared .]

[5,000 points will be consumed as compensation.]

The quest given by Sihyeon is a repeatable quest that can be repeated endlessly as long as you can obtain the corpse.

Just getting through the train maze and coming here meant that the player had some level of ‘skill’.

The work speed was faster than Sihyeon expected.

Of course, Sihyeon’s points were disappearing at a very fast rate.

Fortunately, I had accumulated quite a bit of points by clearing sub-quests and surviving disasters so far.

I guess I can hold out for a while.

[The final shaman, Jongcheon, has cleared .]

[54,500 points will be consumed as compensation.]

“You bastard Jongcheon… … .”

Sihyeon chuckled.

“He is truly a monster.”

I also saw the names of some familiar players.

‘Now that the stoneworkers are also participating in the work, the work speed has gotten even faster.’

The Stone People couldn’t fight the Iron Snake directly, though.

Transporting the body was quite possible.

When you are looking at the situation like that.

Ugh.

Somewhere on the railroad tracks where Sihyeon was standing, a low-level spirit of the earth, a gnome, rose up.

-Master, Ramia has begun to move. According to the spirits’ information, Medusa is also gathering an army.

“okay.”

Sihyeon, who heard Dacon’s report through the gnome, immediately raised the corners of her mouth.

“Should I start preparing now?”

***

“uh?”

“Hey! Check out the sub-quest!”

“Something has been updated?”

“I don’t have any?”

“I have it.”

Objective: After killing the Gorgon, retrieve its ‘head’.

Reward: [Distributable Stat +4]

Additional Reward: [Level Up Ticket (SS)] will be awarded to the player with the highest contribution.

In case of failure: No penalty.

*This quest will only be sent to players personally selected by the client.

*This quest is not included in the ‘Quest List’.

[ begins.]

[Those who have received the sub-quest, , please go to the requester.]

[The client is in the ‘Stationmaster’s Office’ of the change station.]

“… … !”

“This?”

Players who received the quest headed to the stationmaster’s office without exception.

“Please come in.”

There are only four players who received the quest.

As Sihyeon had told them in advance, the gold rank officials let them in without much resistance.

‘These people… … ?’

‘There are some people I recognize and some I don’t.’

‘… … The genius of China. I saw it in Elysium.’

When the two men and two women gathered like that were looking at each other.

Someone opened the door and came in.

“The warriors have arrived?”

A stone man of unusually short stature, whose bones are made of unknown material.

It was the stationmaster, Cosio.

“Meet the station master.”

“Meet the station master.”

Starting with Jongcheon’s Po-Kwon, who was wearing a martial arts uniform that was a mix of white and black.

Cheon Yuri in white robes, Arthur in armor, and Brittany in blue robes greeted them.

“Sit down, sit down.”

At Cosio’s words, which he spoke with a hearty laugh.

The players took their seats.

There was no need to worry about language barriers.

Because the language of the stone people could be purchased by paying 10,000 points at the station-only shop.

“Are you sure about the details of the request?”

Kosio just laughed at Jongcheon’s question.

“Shouldn’t you ask the client about that?”

A question arose on the expressions of the other three, excluding Cheon Yuri.

“Isn’t this the request from the station master?”

“It’s not me.”

And then.

Knock knock.

The door opened once more and Sihyeon appeared.

“… … The fallen king?”

“You’ve arrived at the change station.”

“Sihyeon Sohyup?”

Arthur, Brittany, and Jongcheon’s eyes widened one by one as they saw the vision.

Purple coat and black shirt.

A halo that shines like a small glow.

From gold-gleaming rings, bracelets, and earrings.

Fully armed with divine items.

Sihyeon looked around at the players and snickered.

“You look familiar.”

Shh.

“Then I’ll tell you about the quest from now on. Well, is there anyone who is dissatisfied with the reward?”

Jongcheon, the sole survivor of the Wudang faction and a powerful swordsman currently on the verge of becoming the top swordsman.

Arthur, a knight who can grant various buffs by making a contract with King Arthur.

Brittany, Merlin’s contractor who hangs out with him and is skilled in various magics.

Even a little bit, but a trusty glass that can use the power of the dragon and cold.

‘These members are enough.’

Into the ‘plan’ that came out of Sihyeon’s mouth.

The human players’ eyes widened.

“Yeah. That’s a crazy plan. Hehehe.”

Cosio, hearing the plan again, laughed in admiration.
