God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 168

107. Euryale, the Agile Gorgon

[Activates skill, ‘Ice Field (A)’.]

[Skill, ‘Heat Absorption: Cold Enhancement (S)’ is activated.]

When Jongcheon was fighting Stheno and finishing her off.

One of the joining stations began to be covered in extreme cold.

Paaaaat!

Through the cold, a Gorgon somehow managed to fly through the air.

Euryale.

Her specialties are speed and flight.

Because of the four wings on its back.

She flew faster than any Iron Snake, and even faster than her sisters, and took the wind out of her opponents.

However, the current situation is not so favorable.

[On the human subject!]

It only moved around with its tail split in two to find its direction.

My body wasn’t moving properly.

[Fuck… …Fuck!]

First of all, because of the fight with the red high elves that happened before and the lava flowing down like a waterfall.

Not only her skin, but also many of her wings had melted away.

That’s why I couldn’t get the speed right.

There, behind him, a human wizard in white robes was constantly spraying cold air at himself.

The cold itself had the effect of slowing down Eurialle’s movements.

As if things weren’t bad enough, it was digging into the gaps between my melted wings and my skin, freezing me from the inside out.

Not only the outer surface of Euryale, but also the ‘organs’ that made up her joints, muscles, and cells were freezing one by one.

‘If it was just a simple cold, I could have shaken it off somehow… … .’

Looking at the situation, the opponent’s cold air was absorbing the surrounding heat.

The surrounding area was surrounded by lava, and I saw the newly rising sun in the distance.

The heat and cold are getting worse.

There was no way out of this.

‘Thinking about getting away? Me? Against humans?’

Ugh.

Even if that thought occurred to me for just a moment.

Euryale’s pride was not only crushed, but also shattered.

Are you thinking of running away because you’re scared of the people you killed for fun?

[Sealing my special skill, speed… … Is this a trap?]

Euryale spread her wings, riddled with holes.

[If you can’t shake off this cold, then I’ll just kill you!]

Euryale, who had shouted like that, drew her magic power and flew towards the humans.

“Come!”

Arthur, a knight in white armor, stood face to face, holding a huge sword in both hands.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Gulp.

No matter how tired he was, Euryale was a demon who had once attained divinity.

Even if she just did a body slam.

Arthur, who had one of the highest physical and magical resistances and stamina among all players, saw his vitality drain away like an ebb tide.

But Arthur was never pushed back.

[Oh, how can a human be like that?]

After holding the sword at an angle to minimize the impact.

Arthur began to unleash the true power of Excalibur.

[The item, ‘Excalibur (S)’, radiates light.]

Divine power emanated from Arthur’s Excalibur.

Its power is enough to brighten some of the surrounding purple nights.

[Sob… … !]

Euryale’s vision was momentarily obscured by the light.

“Now is the time!”

With Arthur’s signal.

Brittany’s magic covered Euryale.

Britney’s magical skills were varied.

‘Gravity Press (A)’, which increases the weight of the target by increasing gravity.

‘Blind (D)’, which paralyzes the vision that was lost once more.

‘Bind (E)’ that ties the body.

‘Pain (C)’ which increases pain.

Magic spells that were close to debuffs, amplified by the magic circle drawn in advance, covered Euryale.

Especially among them, due to ‘Gravity Press (A)’.

Euryale’s body became heavy, exhausted and frozen.

[Kiyaaaaaaa!]

To Euryale, who was almost completely subdued.

Master.

Arthur swung his greatsword.

[Blood, avoid… … .]

[Skill, ‘Ice Flower (S)’ is activated.]

Broadly.

When Euryale tried to pull herself away.

The cold air that had gathered in her chest began to gather.

Within seconds, roses bloomed and tore his upper body apart.

‘Now is the time!’

[All buffs are removed.]

[Divine power gathers in ‘Excalibur (S)’ in proportion to the amount of buffs removed.]

Flash!

Arthur’s greatsword, covered in brilliant light, decapitated Euryale.

[I can’t believe it! I’ve defeated the Gorgon ‘Euriale’ from afar.]

[Level… … .]

… … .

“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

Pick up Euryale’s head to complete the quest.

Arthur took a deep breath.

‘It would have been dangerous if it weren’t for Lee Si-Hyeon.’

Arthur sat down, thrusting Excalibur into the ground.

It was because I had just used up all the divine power in my body in one blow.

“Arthur! Are you okay?”

“I’m okay.”

While not as good as a priest, Brittany is skilled in healing magic as well, receiving ‘Heal (E)’.

Arthur let out a ragged breath.

Saaaaa… … .

Cheon Yuri was constantly absorbing the cold of the lava and freezing the path, creating a path that would allow them to escape from the station.

“Can you move?”

“… … It’s possible.”

Within, with Britney’s support.

Arthur raised his heavy body like water-soaked cotton.

The muscles in his entire body were trembling, just like a newborn calf.

Even though I could barely move my feet.

Arthur’s attention was focused on Sihyeon, not on escaping.

‘It really was possible.’

Arthur swallowed dryly as he looked at Excalibur, which he was barely holding.

‘How on earth… how do you know about Excalibur? And such a powerful technique?’

During the past time I was waiting.

Shihyeon told Arthur about the hidden power of Excalibur.

Arthur may not know, but Excalibur was the ‘main weapon’ used by Shihyeon before his return.

He has a variety of special effects and functions of Excalibur.

I also knew how to apply and use it.

‘I thought I knew the most about Excalibur… … .’

The fourth disaster, the one who survived the gremlins and pulled out Excalibur from the rock was the British player Arthur, not Lee Si-Hyeon.

‘But how… … .’

The special effect that was used as the finishing blow, .

If Sihyeon hadn’t told me about this special effect.

It would not have been possible to remove Euryale so easily.

‘Do you know much about God? Or items?’

“Arthur.”

“… … Yeah. Sorry.”

It wasn’t until I heard Britney speak.

Arthur came to his senses.

“It will be difficult to go a long way with that body. Arthur Sohyeop.”

“Jongcheon!”

Jongcheon, who was running towards Cosio, changed direction and came to Arthur.

“You two, use your magic to go quickly. I will carry Arthur So-hyeop.”

“thank you.”

“Ugh! It hurts there… … .”

Jongcheon lifted Arthur up, ignoring his muscle pain.

Jongcheon started running, carrying the heads of the two Gorgons, Stheno and Euryale.

Now, magic potions no longer appear in Shihyeon’s Kibisis.

This was enough to get out of the joining station.

‘… I felt it even at the lava lake. The world is truly vast. I can’t believe such a monster was born in such a small country like Korea.’

Crackle crackle.

‘At that level, even the UK’s number one ranking won’t do.’

***

“What should I do? All your sisters are dead?”

[Ugh… … .]

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth as she watched the group neatly finishing off the other Gorgons.

[Let’s fight fair and square! Human!]

“no.”

While the group was taking out the other sisters.

Sihyeon just ran around here and there, wasting time.

‘You all did well just as I taught you.’

Jongcheon and Cheon Yuri weren’t worried at all in the first place.

Jongcheon is a guy with incredible swordsmanship.

It was safe to say that there were almost no players who could defeat a guy with magical power (internal energy) backing him up.

That’s because the swordsmanship of the ‘Mudangpa’ that the guy was following was like that.

In other words, if you continue to inject him with magic potions through Kibisis, he will be virtually invincible.

‘Even if Stheno is exactly as he appears in the myths… … Now that he’s been mauled by dwarves and fought the red elves, Jongcheon can’t lose.’

Cheon Yuri listened to Sihyeon well from the beginning.

I wasn’t worried because it was a position that focused on spraying cold air from behind.

Arthur also used Excalibur well, just as Sihyeon had taught him.

As expected from a 3rd place winner in the UK, Britney put pressure on her opponents with various magic tricks.

So the four of them took the heads of the two Gorgon sisters.

As planned, we went to the stone people including Cosio and rested.

‘That’s all I have to do.’

They won’t be of much help in the fight against Medusa anyway.

Because only a serpent equipped with a Kundala could withstand Medusa’s curse (petrification).

Kaaaaang!

[Fuck!]

And again he swears.

Medusa rushed at Shihyeon.

[You damn fly!]

Seeing visions of him dodging snakes and lava with incredible moves, and stepping on the remains of buildings and ceilings that have not yet melted.

Medusa spit out all sorts of curses.

[You little rat! You little cat! You little dog!]

“Is this a livestock parade?”

Pfft!

Even Medusa’s curses were close to curses.

Sihyeon simply calmly avoided the attacks.

‘Time is on my side.’

Medusa’s skin and snakes, which were already weak to heat, were gradually melting and weakening.

On the other hand, Sihyeon is almost immune to the effects of heat thanks to various means such as the rune of fire resistance and the grace of the archangel.

That wasn’t the end of it.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The sun created behind Sihyeon by the ‘solar disk’ effect.

.

The bright, splendid light was absorbing all the surrounding heat and growing larger and larger.

[Item, ‘Solar Disk (C)’ absorbs surrounding heat and energy.]

[Temporarily increases all primary stats by 1.]

[Item, ‘Solar Disk (C)’ absorbs surrounding heat and energy.]

[Temporarily increases magic by 3.]

… … .

The sun is a very powerful source of energy.

By absorbing the surrounding heat, he continued to grow stronger, and various stats of Sihyeon continued to rise.

Plus, thanks to the strong ambient heat from the sun.

Medusa’s skin was melting faster than when hit by a waterfall of lava.

[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (C)’ shows its teeth.]

What’s more, tentacles sprouted from all over the night, wrapping around Medusa’s body and sucking her blood.

I’m already anxious and annoyed because the other person ran away.

It was driving me crazy to see tentacles sprouting out of thin air like mushrooms.

Pfft!

Sihyeon’s body became faster and faster, and Medusa’s body became slower and slower.

‘Gap.’

Crunch.

So Sihyeon swung the Thousand Cloud Sword again, aiming for Medusa’s neck.

Crunch.

A red line appeared around Medusa’s neck.

[Kiyaaaak!]

I barely managed to avoid Sihyeon’s blow by twisting my neck.

“Ah, aah, aah!”

“Whoosh… … .”

In return, the two snakes in his hair were cut off.

This was the thing that made Medusa’s life the most miserable.

The opponent did not simply run away.

Because every single blow he fired while running away was threatening.

It was not possible to just chase after them with peace of mind.

‘My sisters… … .’

Kwak.

Tears of blood flowed from Medusa’s eyes as she confirmed that the rest of the Gorgons were dead.

[Stay still… I won’t leave you alone!]

Now, ten of her heads are dead.

The condition was met.

[Kiyaaaaaaaah!]

With Medusa’s roar.

Her whole body hardened like a hard stone.

‘You’re petrifying yourself? What the heck?’

Medusa’s sudden action caused Shihyeon to step back.

Unlike the other demons, Shihyeon had never encountered the three Gorgon sisters before her return.

All I know about them is what I got from fighting the red elves.

Of course, that alone would have been enough to place the rest of the party in the right places to defeat the Gorgon.

Medusa was different.

‘I’ve never seen a pattern like this before.’

If you stick to that place right now, you don’t know what will happen.

“It won’t work. Mehen.”

-Why? Human. You fight so well.

“I have to write that.”

Soon, Sihyeon lifted up the Cheonjongun Sword.

[ unfolds.]

[Item, ‘Sun Disc (C)’ is added to the link.]

Tsutsutsutsut… that is…

[ descends.]
