God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 165

105. Gorgon (2)

“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”

“… … You too.”

While waiting for Medusa to make her move.

Jongcheon wanted to continue to loosen up like a knight, and Arthur did not avoid the fight that was coming his way like a knight.

Perhaps that’s why the two were fighting like mad in the training ground with the equipment that Cosio had specially prepared for them.

“Men… … .”

“In some ways, those two would benefit the most?”

“I see? Come to think of it, that’s true.”

Cheon Yuri and Brittany were the only same-sex people and were both wizards, so they became close friends quickly.

Thanks to Cosio’s support, the two were becoming even more powerful by obtaining various skill books, slogans, and items.

Brittany, Merlin’s contractor who excels in all areas.

Her only drawback was that she was ‘low in destructive power’.

By learning how to use Cheon Yuri’s magic and skills, he was able to make up for its shortcomings to some extent.

On the other hand, the downside of glass is that it only excels in destructive power.

This was because all of her magic was focused on either attack or defense.

Even that ‘defense’ was a method of freezing or annihilating the opponent’s attack by attacking.

It couldn’t be said that he used ‘various magic’.

So, I was learning about Brittany’s magical applications and skill utilization, which have various magic abilities, to make up for those shortcomings to some extent.

That is, by sticking together and discussing magic, they were making up for each other’s shortcomings and strengthening their strengths.

This was a positive synergy that even Sihyeon had not anticipated.

‘It’s definitely good to have support from someone as good as the stationmaster.’

Unlike the dwarves who just gave out items, he was a stone man who gave out various things.

Fortunately, they all spoke the language of the Stone People, and since Shihyeon had the , there was no problem in communication.

‘Well, if he could really catch Medusa, it would be a huge gain for him.’

And Sihyeon was once again examining the gods’ items and checking their stats.

While clearing the sub-quests, Sihyeon focused on raising her main stats.

Later, the god’s item became S-class and was used to handle it.

‘There are many elixirs in the station that cannot be found outside. And the best of them is… … .’

Shh.

‘It’s an elixir that can be obtained from the three Gorgon sisters.’

The rest of the elixirs are just used as ‘materials’.

‘Especially Medusa’s head… … .’

“Found it.”

When Sihyeon was looking at the elixirs like that.

Cosio came to the waiting group ‘in person’.

“Lee Si-Hyeon. It’s as you expected. The three Gorgon sisters have appeared at ‘Join Station’!”

“is it so?”

Even if Sihyeon doesn’t say anything.

The other four players were preparing one by one.

It was thanks to Sihyeon saying, ‘You have to run whenever the situation arises.’

“Then shall we go?”

***

Join Station.

A station located in the middle of the train maze, with all lines connected.

In terms of sheer scale, it was larger than the change station where Cosio and Sihyeon were located, and there were many strong stone people there.

As Shihyeon had predicted, Medusa attacked the Join Station first, and the reason was simple.

‘Because this is a strategic location.’

If you capture this place, you can not only go to other stations, but also

It may also block supplies between other stations with rail connections.

In the latter case, the station masters were keeping each other in check, so it wasn’t very active.

Medusa seemed unaware of this fact.

Kugu… … Kugu… … .

On board the train heading to Join Station.

Sihyeon and his group were each relaxing their bodies and minds.

“But stationmaster, can’t we join in advance and be at the joining station?”

After hearing the reason why Medusa took over the Join Station.

Arthur asked Cosio.

It was a natural question.

There was no reason to wait at a change station that wasn’t attacked and then go to a join station.

“No. Even if Medusa is likely to take over the Join Station, isn’t it possible that we might be attacked first?”

“that…….”

Just as Arthur was about to ask something.

Sihyeon put her hand on Arthur’s shoulder and shook her head.

“Let’s take care of the mission first.”

“……okay.”

‘Will Cosio help with the Join Station?’

The stationmaster of Join Station is a stoneman who is loyal to another large station, not Cosio.

From Cosio’s perspective, there was no need to save the earthen people of other lines other than his own.

‘If we kill the three Gorgon sisters, they plan to take over the Join Station during that gap. If we had joined earlier, the stationmaster of the Join Station might have survived.’

After the three Gorgon sisters are defeated, the story becomes complicated if the stationmaster of the Join Station is still alive.

As long as there was a stationmaster, the station was under his ownership, and the stonemen could not fight each other without the dwarves’ permission.

‘Then you can’t rob an empty house.’

Cosio didn’t explain in detail though.

Sihyeon already knew his true intentions.

The stone people he brings now are only there to ‘rob the empty house’ after defeating the three Gorgon sisters.

The three Gorgon sisters and the Iron Snakes had to be captured by Shihyeon and his party.

From Cosio’s perspective, it didn’t matter if Shihyeon and his group were defeated and died.

Because all I had to do was go back the way it was.

‘Well, it’s impossible for the stone people who can’t even properly defeat the Iron Snake to take on the three Gorgon sisters.’

Kookookookook… … .

just as expected.

The joining station we arrived at was already in ruins.

The only thing that was intact was the railroad tracks connecting the stations.

The remaining structures were being destroyed and sucked away by the swamps summoned and led by the three Gorgon sisters.

[… …Train? There’s a train coming here?]

Tzuzuzu, that is.

Medusa’s eyes lit up when she discovered the train Sihyeon was riding.

[good.]

Oh my god!

At Medusa’s command, large and small iron snakes attached themselves to the train.

Because they were guys who were good at digging and melting metal.

The train began to melt without warning.

“All retreat! Just defend as much as possible!”

Cosio shouted.

All the stone people he brought with him were of gold rank or higher.

If it weren’t for the three Gorgon sisters, it would have been possible to ‘hold out’ against the rushing Iron Snakes.

“I’ll take the Iron Basilisk! Gold rank, stop the regular Iron Snakes, and Platinum rank and Diamond rank stop the Hydra entities!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

Kwaaaaang!

When the train was melting down and being destroyed.

Pfft!

Someone jumped forward.

[Activate .]

Phew!

The bodies of the Iron Snakes were torn apart by the blood wind that swept around Sihyeon’s body.

[… …who is the author?]

Medusa’s head turned as she noticed something unusual.

It wasn’t just Medusa.

Steno and Euryale also turned their heads when they saw that a formidable enemy had appeared and rushed towards Sihyeon.

“As planned!”

Pfft!

Four players popped out behind Sihyeon.

Jongcheon alone is Steno.

The remaining three stood before Euryale.

[What stupid people.]

Medusa’s two eyes lined up beyond the eye sockets of her iron mask.

[You think you can catch us with just five people? We’ll all be dead before that.]

Saaaaa… … .

Medusa’s hair was made of diamonds, and the snakes began to open their eyes one by one.

And Medusa also took off the iron mask that had been covering her face.

However, the ‘Abnormal Status: Petrification’ effect did not work on the stone people whose bodies were already made of minerals.

There was nothing to be afraid of as long as the opponent was human.

‘What does that look like?’

Shihyeon’s eyes widened as he met Medusa’s face.

It was because her appearance was incomparably beautiful.

‘… … Yes. They say that before being cursed by Athena, she had such a beautiful appearance.’

[Die.]

It seems like there’s nothing more to see.

Medusa’s eyes shone.

[Warning! You will be exposed to a powerful ‘Status Abnormality: Petrification’.]

The moment our eyes met like that.

Medusa had no doubt that her opponent would be petrified.

[Then, slowly, other humans too… … .]

Medusa decided to first turn other humans into stone and then kill the stone people.

I passed by the frozen Sihyeon.

Although it appears alive on the outside, Medusa’s original petrification was to solidify the opponent into a living state.

Now the guy couldn’t move anymore.

When Medusa passed the vision and approached Jongcheon, who was alone.

‘This?’

Kkwadduk!

Tentacles shaped like hands emerged from the ground and bound the body.

Something with a powerful energy shot out from behind.

[Sob… … !]

Because the power he possessed was so great, he destroyed the tentacles with his strength.

Medusa twisted her body to avoid the attack.

Even so, it was impossible to avoid all of the opponent’s attacks.

Crunch.

A long sword mark appears on Medusa’s back, a mark that has not been allowed for hundreds of years.

The black blood she had spurted everywhere.

[What is this… …?]

“First strike wins. Don’t you know that?”

Looking back, I saw the human who had just been petrified, Lee Si-Hyeon, with the corners of his mouth raised, preparing for his next attack.

‘Dangerous.’

This attack was dangerous.

No matter how much I let my guard down.

The opponent cut himself with his entire skin made of diamonds.

This means that it has the ability to penetrate Medusa’s skin, which is impervious to most attacks.

Whirlyrick.

Medusa, who had been thinking that far, rolled around on the floor in disgrace.

[This is crazy… … .]

However, he was barely able to avoid the attack.

The opponent’s attacks were relentless.

Some of the tentacles continued to greedily feast on Medusa’s shed blood.

Sihyeon, who had come in between, continued to swing his sword.

[On the human subject!]

Flash!

Medusa glared again.

That’s it.

Now that the smoke was over, Sihyeon continued swinging his sword even after looking into Medusa’s eyes.

Crunch!

Medusa’s tough skin was cut away, and more and more blood flowed out.

And the more blood he shed, the stronger the energy in the Cheonjongun Sword became.

vicious circle.

From Medusa’s perspective, it was a nightmare, a terrible vicious cycle.

[ sucks the Gorgon’s blood.]

[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (C)’ increases the amount of fatigue damage absorbed by 27%.]

[Item, ‘Cheon Gun Cloud Sword (C)’ increases physical and magical penetration by 5% with the absorbed Gorgon’s blood.]

The blood that Medusa sheds is the blood of a Gorgon, which contains true divinity.

As such, the speed at which the Thousand-Choong Cloud Sword became stronger with the same amount of blood was extremely fast.

‘The wounds heal slowly.’

Medusa gritted her teeth.

[No matter how weak I have become, to a human like this… … .]

“I remember your first death was also caused by a human.”

[noisy!]

Phaaaat!

Soon, Medusa’s magical gaze was directed at Sihyeon.

With a gaze filled with this much energy, even a god could be solidified.

[Warning! You will be exposed to a powerful ‘Status Abnormality: Petrification’.]

[Aatem, ‘Kundala (D)’ awakens.]

Sihyeon just leisurely met his gaze and swung his sword.

[Kiyaaaaaaaah!]

‘How stupid. It’s already out of date.’

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth as she watched Medusa retreating with her wounds.

Medusa’s curse, , has a powerful abnormal status effect.

However, strictly speaking, abnormal status is not a physical realm but a ‘mental’ realm.

The principle was that Medusa’s magic would seep into a person’s consciousness, stopping all thoughts and actions, and hardening their bodies into stone.

That’s why it was possible to completely avoid it with Kundala’s E-class special effect, .

[I don’t know why, but petrification doesn’t seem to work.]

Even so, Medusa is a demon who once attained divinity.

Although I am a little careless and flustered and am on the defensive.

I wasn’t someone who could be treated so pointlessly like this.

[……human!]

Suddenly, Medusa’s body grew larger.

The diamond-colored snakes on her head opened their mouths and shot out at Shihyeon.

Because each and every one of them had self-awareness.

They were a difficult bunch to deal with.

Kaaaaang!

After blocking Medusa’s first attack with the strengthened Thousand Cloud Sword.

Sihyeon, who had stepped back, shouted.

“Dacon! Now!”

At the same time as Sihyeon’s cry.

A hot heat rose throughout the swamp-like Join Station.

[What is this?]

Whoosh, whoosh.

The ceiling collapsed and lava began to pour out.

“okay.”

Shh.

“From now on, fight each other.”
