God’s Natural Enemy Returns Chapter 181

113. Guardian of Justice (4)

“Kuaaaah!”

Despite Shihyeon’s blow, Magma Drake held on.

‘It was shallow.’

Because the scales were so hard, the Guardian of Justice was unable to properly cut the crown.

But it didn’t matter.

[Item, ‘Astrape (A)’ is infused.]

Flash!

Astragalus was wrapped around the Guardian of Justice.

Sihyeon swung the Guardian of Justice once more.

Brrrrrr… … .

Magma Drake’s whole body shook as if he had received a strong shock.

Sihyeon, who noticed that the blow was severe, cut off the guy’s head without stopping.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

A series of consecutive blows that would shake the entire goal with just one hit.

Magma Drake fell unconscious and banged his head on the ground.

“Choo-rur-ruruk!”

“Kaaaaaaaaa!”

Unable to stand by any longer, the four Magma Drakes swung their arms at Shihyeon.

But Sihyeon has already escaped from his grasp.

He stepped into the air with a movement speed that was even faster than before and immediately struck the next Magma Drake’s head.

Kyaaaaang!

It was a vision that could not be caught even when five Magma Drakes rushed at once.

That vision was accelerated by the item effect and became even faster, and now there were four people dealing with him.

The rest of the magma drakes were no match for him.

If we were to have any hope, we had to wait for the opponent to lose stamina.

The Magma Drakes, being the intelligent demons they are, knew this fact.

Boooow!

Four magma drakes avoided the vision and applied maximum pressure using their arms, tails, etc.

At first glance, it seems like an overwhelming attack with no room to escape.

Those with huge sizes tried to crush the vision with their bodies.

Kang!

But after leisurely swinging the Guardian of Justice to create an opening, he steps on the air and the outer shells of the Magma Drakes.

Sihyeon got out of her seat.

Thanks to the rune of fire resistance and the grace of the archangel, I could easily ignore the flames surging beyond the magma drake’s hide.

“Kiaaaa!”

Not only was it fast, but the power contained in the Guardian of Justice was also strong.

It was a death throes for the magma drakes.

And not long after.

The taste became reality.

Kaaaang! Bang! Bang!

[Excellent! You’ve defeated the Magma Drake.]

… … .

“Phew… … .”

As a result of running around like that for about 10 more minutes.

Sihyeon was able to finish off the magma drakes without difficulty.

It took longer than expected because the opponents were numerous and strong.

My stamina barely held up.

It was thanks to the newly acquired leather clothes and proper breathing distribution.

“Did you see it?”

When Sihyeon was standing on top of the corpses of the magma drakes that had floated up like that.

“It’s dangerous!”

Magma fish jumped out at the sound of Tan’s scream.

“You’re like cheeky fish.”

Sihyeon, who saw that sight, drank the vitality potion she had prepared in advance.

And then.

Flash!

The Guardian of Justice swung at a speed that was barely visible to the eye.

***

“… … Is that true?”

“Yes. It’s true. I saw it with my own two eyes. Didn’t you see it, too, Mother? The corpses of the Magma Drakes.”

‘Certainly… … with the level of coal, it would be difficult to handle even one or two Magma Drakes, let alone five.’

“Even so, you killed five Magma Drakes with a strange sword and leather clothes? And that too in the 4th lava lake where there is no place to set foot?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Lin checked once more just in case and only then nodded.

Because his son, Tan, was not the type to lie.

“That’s right… … .”

Lin nodded with calm, settled eyes.

‘Koung said that. Lee Si-Hyeon is using God’s items… … .’

While being busy drawing out the power contained in Sihyeon’s items, I didn’t even have time to blink.

Kohung would come to Lin once a day to talk to her.

‘It was only natural that he could cut down the pagans. Although he didn’t have a sword, the Astrapher, a lightning ball, was the strongest secondary weapon.’

Gulp.

‘I thought I was strong simply because of the divine item… … but that wasn’t the case?’

Lin and the dwarves thought this.

The reason why Sihyeon was able to easily capture the pagans was simply because of the divine item.

It was reasonable to think that way.

As far as they know, Shihyeon is a human from ‘Earth’.

And it hasn’t even been two years since they achieved player status.

A player who didn’t even know of the existence of demons grows to the point of slaughtering pagans within two years?

It would have been impossible without the intervention of God or some other being.

No, even with their intervention, it would have been impossible.

Even the most common and weakest of the pagans, the ‘laymen’, were not easy to deal with for high-level dwarven warriors armed with A-class items.

‘As far as I know, the items that Lee Si-Hyeon took were two A-class items and one S-class item. Even the Guardian of Justice he was holding in his hand wasn’t a combat weapon. But with just that, he defeated five Magma Drakes? And he even took down the Magma Fish that came after that?’

From what I’ve heard, it seems like he didn’t use any special skills.

If so, then simple movements and item utilization have reached their peak.

‘I don’t know which one is better.’

One thing was certain.

‘If it’s this guy… … I can give him the quest I didn’t want to give to humans.’

***

“Did you call, Your Majesty?”

“Welcome.”

The audience room of the Crystal Palace.

The crystal throne, a symbol of power.

Instead of Kohung, who was currently working, Lin was sitting there.

‘The reaction is as expected.’

Sihyeon quickly looked around and was able to grasp the situation.

‘What did you call me to do? Okay. It’s according to plan.’

Tan didn’t know, of course, nor did Rin.

Sihyeon aimed for this.

‘Lin gives quests to human players who are considered to be relatively strong.’

Of course, the criteria for being recognized as having ‘a certain level of strength’ was not clear to Lin.

The most surefire way was to get sub-quests from the stonemen or dwarves and clear them, just like in Train Maze.

However, because the criteria were not clear, Sihyeon was able to receive the quest faster.

Because the 7 princes he brought with him, Tan, guaranteed Sihyeon’s strength.

“Yes. I called you because I have a favor to ask.”

As expected.

Lin was acting and saying lines that made it seem like she was going to give out a quest.

“A request?”

“There have been ominous signs recently. It seems that a magma wave is about to begin.”

Sihyeon knew what a magma wave was, though.

I didn’t pretend to know.

“If it’s a magma wave… … ?”

“The evil heretics are threatening our Crystal Palace. Among them, there is one who controls the Magma Drakes… … and dozens of those Magma Drakes are pouring into the Crystal Palace.”

Lin shook her head.

“If this causes damage to the Sujeong Palace, it won’t be good for either of us.”

What Lin said was true.

Currently, the dwarves are increasing the skill level of Shihen’s items.

If the magma wave arrives at this time, the situation where you are just barely raising your skill level will be ruined.

‘There is no reason to allow variables.’

Even the Crystal Palace dwarves didn’t know who was causing the magma wave.

Thanks to the regression, Sihyeon knew.

One of the ‘archbishops’ of the pagans who rules over the Magma Drakes and causes Magma Waves.

Because he was the final boss of the Crystal Maze.

“Well, since we are both players who have been blessed by the system, it would be quicker to explain it this way.”

[You have obtained the sub-quest, .]

Objective: Investigate the demons within the Crystal Maze.

*However, he is accompanied by the 7th prince, Tan.

Reward: Choose 1 item from the currently rented items.

Additional Reward: Awarded when you eliminate the source of the magma wave.

In case of failure: No penalty.

*However, if Prince Tan dies, he will be executed according to dwarven law.

As the queen leading the earthmen and dwarves, Lynn was very familiar with using the system.

‘Oh… … .’

Sihyeon’s eyes lit up when she saw the reward.

I’ll give you one of the items I’m currently renting.

‘Well, it’s certainly possible with the Queen’s authority.’

This level of compensation wasn’t bad.

The only catch was that I had to carry Tan with me while doing the quest.

‘Before the regression, there was no such thing as a burden.’

But since the quest content cannot be changed, it was inevitable.

***

A few days later.

“Are you here?”

“Okay. Are you ready?”

To Si-hyeon’s question, Tan nodded.

Now with the ‘Kraken Capturer (S)’, which is like a symbol of the guy.

He was heavily armed with all kinds of dwarven items that he had received ‘support’ from Queen Lynn.

‘You must have made every preparation in case you die again.’

There were no complaints.

From Sihyeon’s perspective, who had to protect Tan according to the quest content, it was more convenient to use good items.

After meeting Tan like that.

Sihyeon headed to the dormitory, putting on the ‘Hunter’s Leather Clothes (A)’.

There, Quick Bee, who had finished preparing for flight, was licking the royal jelly that Lin had given him.

Royal jelly was not only a good meal, but it also permanently increased the guy’s flying ability and overall physical ability.

Sihyeon planned to feed the guy plenty of royal jelly while he was here.

Then wait until the quick bee has eaten all the honey.

Sihyeon climbed up.

“let’s go.”

Wheeeeeeeeing!

Not only did Lin give me the general location, but he also had the title of .

It wasn’t difficult to find the archbishop who led the Magma Drakes.

‘They are never to be taken lightly.’

The archbishop that Si-hyeon is looking for is always together with the two of them.

They were guys who didn’t even listen well to their leader’s orders.

The reason for not listening to the leader’s orders was simple.

Because those guys had that much power and influence.

‘good.’

Sihyeon grabbed the Guardian of Justice tightly.

“Run.”

Wheeeeeeeeing!

***

[Stupid things!]

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Lava lake.

A place so far and vast, where the dwarves of the Crystal Maze have never set foot.

In this place so deep that the dwarves cannot even name it, a giant magma drake lets out a roar of rebuke.

[It wasn’t enough that all 10 of them in the Iron Maze died… … Five of them were killed by a strange human? These useless things!]

Just by raising my body half-submerged in a lake of lava.

Lava covered all directions like a tidal wave.

“Chirrrrrr!”

“Churrurur… … .”

As the being in front of them raised its body, the other magma drakes that had been crouching before it simply ran away in panic, completely terrified.

Kuuu… … .

A heat that seemed to melt everything around it poured out from the giant magma drake that had raised its body.

Even the skin of the Magma Drakes, who are one with the flames themselves, melt away, not to mention the rocks of the lava zone.

I could tell how strong the guy’s passion was.

Hoooooow… … .

The one that was fully revealed was different from the other magma drakes.

Even if the body size is about 10 times larger,

The appearance itself was different.

A horn on its forehead, huge wings spread wide to the side, teeth that are strong enough to tear anything apart, and even claws on its wings.

Kwaaaaang!

Just by getting up from the lava lake and rolling your feet once.

An earthquake occurred in the surrounding area.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions.

The guy was literally a walking ‘natural disaster’.

“You’re being hasty.”

[What?]

“That’s your problem. You always try to ram it in. Just wait a little bit. You need to know how things are going and then move forward.”

Even while all the other magma drakes were running away.

Someone spoke in a voice that was extremely calm.

The guy was small in size.

Of course, they were smaller than the Magma Drakes.

Slightly larger than the small, bug-like dwarfs they are meant to kill and exterminate.

But no being could ever ignore this demon just because it was small.

Sky blue skin, a lizard head, two arms and two legs like a human, and a long tail.

The guy was originally a ‘Lizardman’, a demonic beast known to only live in the swamps of Greenland.

[We’ve already killed 3,023 dwarves. Should we be scared?]

“They killed quite a few Magma Drakes too.”

[Even so, if we step forward ourselves, we’ll all die.]

“That’s not wrong. But we need to prepare for unexpected situations.”

[What if something unexpected happens?]

“The people of the church, excluding us, are gathering.”

[… … Those guys are gathering?]

The demon, who looked like a dragon, asked in surprise.

[The guys are divided into different factions and will never be able to unite?]

“It would be different if a representative of the ‘god’ they believe in appeared.”

[If he is a proxy… … is he the leader?]

The lizardman shook his head.

“A cult leader or something like that won’t do. I don’t know for sure, but it seems like a saint has appeared.”

[Saint… … Variable.]

“Yeah. A variable. One we hate.”

In that moment, the lizardman’s eyes emitted a cold light.

“We need to remove the variable.”
