God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 186

115. The Saintess of the Dragon Church (1)

“Meet the Queen.”

“Meet the Queen!”

The audience room of the Crystal Palace.

Sitting on the crystal throne on behalf of the Hammer Dynasty, Lin looked around at his subjects.

Most of the dwarves were working, so most of them were stonemasons.

‘Enough to welcome guests. More like a hero than a guest? Now… … .’

While Lin was thinking about her future plans.

The door to the audience room opened and a man walked in with great dignity.

The hero of the Crystal Palace who caught the Magma Flight and destroyed the source of the Magma Wave itself.

It was Lee Si-Hyeon.

“Excellent.”

Lin, who saw the vision, stood up from her seat and clapped.

“Human players are slowly coming to the Crystal Maze now. This place is so vast that there are still few humans in the Crystal Palace, and yet you have already killed numerous Magma Drakes and taken down two Archbishops!”

‘It’s too much.’

Looking at Lin standing up and clapping.

Sihyeon clicked her tongue inwardly.

Tan next to him had a moved expression on his face, and it seemed that Lin was originally a person who was stingy with praise.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“… … You are so humble. Thanks to you, the Crystal Palace will be safe from the Magma Drakes.”

What Lin said was true.

Magma Drakes are originally demons with strong individualistic tendencies.

Now that the Magma Flight that had ruled them with fear is dead.

Those who have lost their center of gravity will no longer raid the Crystal Palace.

“You have to keep your promises.”

[You have cleared the sub-quest, .]

[I can’t believe it! I destroyed the source of the magma wave.]

[Additional rewards are given!]

… … .

[Compensation settlement is delayed.]

“What is it?”

Sihyeon frowned at the message that the compensation settlement was delayed.

“It would be a shame to get a reward with just this. How about completing another quest?”

“Another quest?”

“Yes. Those wicked heretics. Let’s catch them. If you complete this quest, I’ll give you the previous reward plus an even bigger one.”

What Lin said was simple.

Ask and go double.

Instead of receiving this reward, you were promised a much better reward if you completed the next quest.

Percussion!

[You have obtained the sub-quest, .]

Objective: Kill the saintess of the Pyongryong Church.

Reward: All items currently rented.

Additional Reward: ???

If you fail: You become hostile to the Crystal Palace dwarves.

[If you give up the sub-quest, , you can choose and obtain one of the currently rented items.]

[Additional rewards will be given upon clearing the sub-quest, .]

[Additional Reward 1: Select additional items from the warehouse. (2)]

[Additional Reward 2: Level +1]

‘Hmm… … .’

Sihyeon smiled inwardly after seeing the reward.

I don’t know what Lin’s intentions are.

For that kind of compensation, it wasn’t a bad idea to ask and double it.

If all of those rewards are given, there are a total of five items that Sihyeon can obtain from the Dwarf Warehouse.

Because you get two more items in addition to the three you are currently wearing.

‘They say you have 9 items of God, but you can equip them as long as the parts are different.’

That wasn’t all.

Items obtained from dwarves can be equipped even if Sihyeon himself does not wear them.

You could give it to your colleagues in the clan or Hanam.

‘But the Saintess is an enemy I have never faced before. I don’t even know who she is.’

Sihyeon was lost in thought for a moment.

‘After I got the coal. I asked the bishop using the rune of power that Draupnir had, but he didn’t know anything.’

Information about the saint is so secret that even the bishops leading each branch are unaware of it.

Even before her return, nothing was known about her.

‘Did it suddenly appear from the sky… … or did the blizzard guy find some good ingredients? Or did my regression have an effect?’

As of now, it is unknown.

“Before accepting the quest, can you tell me some information about the saint?”

Lin shook her head at Sihyeon’s words.

“Killing the saint is the long-cherished wish of the Crystal Palace dwarves, including myself. But I can’t tell you because I don’t know anything about it. I can guess one thing. That person is a dwarf woman.”

“A dwarf woman… … .”

Sihyeon nodded after hearing that.

Most of the believers, bishops, archbishops, and most of all, the ‘leader’ of the Pyongryong Church are all dwarves.

It was difficult for those who extremely hated being subordinated to other races to elevate other races to sainthood and acknowledge them.

‘Magma Flight and Pwim were the only ones who could create magma waves, and it was possible because they were from another branch that was invisible to the eye.’

After some thought about it.

Sihyeon turned her head and looked at Tan, raising the corners of her mouth.

‘Okay. This time I don’t have to carry a bunch of luggage.’

Sihyeon could recall things about the guys without difficulty.

If we just get a few more items, we can deal with them without having to use the god items.

There was also a way to quickly get a few of the god’s items.

It was an offer that Sihyeon could not refuse.

“great.”

Sihyeon nodded after finishing all the calculations.

“I’ll accept the quest. In return, I’ll have to take a few of my items.”

“Okay, I’ll give you some more support on top of that. I’ll compile everything I know about the Pyongryongyo into a document.”

From Sihyeon’s perspective, it was an offer that there was no need to refuse.

“thank you.”

“Thank you. Instead.”

In that moment, Lin’s expression changed.

“You absolutely must succeed. As much as we are giving you support.”

***

“There hasn’t been enough research done yet… … .”

“This is enough. Well, you’ve uploaded a lot.”

“still…….”

“If you complete this quest, I’ll let you research again.”

“Really?”

Despite doing ‘free labor’ that increases item proficiency exponentially.

Kohung couldn’t help but feel regret.

It was worth it.

The Astraphe that Sihyeon is taking from him now is the strongest weapon ever created by Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and the chief god of Olympus.

For the dwarves currently in the Crystal Palace, simply examining this item would have greatly increased their item crafting proficiency.

‘Well, it’s a bit weird to call him a fool… … .’

Strictly speaking, it’s a win-win relationship.

It was a relationship where we helped each other.

“Then that’s right! But what kind of quest are you going on?”

“This is a quest to kill a saint.”

“Saint? Are you talking about the saint of the pagans… … Lin gave you this quest, right?”

“you’re right.”

“That’s right… … .”

After thinking for a moment, Kohung shook his head as if it was nothing.

“No. Then take care.”

After saying that, Kohung approached the other dwarves who were thinking about how to strengthen the remaining items, Kibisis and the Thousand-Choong Cloud Sword.

Then, Sihyeon went to see Houng and Raung,

“This is foul play! Give me more time!”

“Ugh. I can’t help it.”

After each received their Kundala and Sun Disc back, they went outside.

-Ugh… … .

‘What? Did you sleep?’

-You slept, then, you punk.

As I took the sun disk, Mehen began to chatter as if she had been waiting for it.

-Hey! Still, those dwarves seem genuine when it comes to crafting items. Of course, I haven’t seen any other items, but where I am? Corrupted Glory… … .

I listened to the guy’s words with one ear and let them go out the other because he was so talkative, which was unusual for a high-ranking god.

Sihyeon was just walking somewhere.

‘Everything is ready.’

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

‘Then shall we go? To kill the saint?’

***

Sihyeon, who returned to her lodgings, washed up first and then ate.

He went straight to Quick B.

The guy also got enough rest by licking the royal jelly that Lin personally gave him.

I was ready to move right away.

“Are you here?”

“Were you here?”

What Sihyeon saw before his eyes was the dwarf prince, Tan, who had shared a brief life and death(?) with him.

‘You won’t have any business with me now, will you?’

Tan let out a small sigh and opened his mouth at Sihyeon’s gaze that seemed to be asking him to tell her what he wanted to say.

“Please teach me.”

“You taught me? What?”

“How to become stronger.”

“Get stronger… … .”

Tan was convinced after seeing Sihyeon fight.

“Lee Si-Hyeon, the King of Corruption. The way you fight is the ‘pinnacle’ of all dwarves.”

Dwarf.

A small, strong, and unusual race with a special talent for crafting items.

They had one way of fighting.

Use items.

Since they have great talent in making items, they fight using items that fit their bodies perfectly.

“The most important thing about the fighting methods of dwarf warriors is to maximize the performance of items. And Sihyeon is someone who is completely well-versed in that method.”

Tan’s analysis was accurate.

From his perspective, the vision perfectly handled the item he had never seen before, and defeated two powerful archbishops and dozens of magma drakes.

By choosing the ‘Hunter’s Leather Clothing (A)’, you can increase your stamina and make full use of the acceleration effect of ‘Light Step (S)’.

I was amazed at the part where he used the physical resistance penetration of the ‘Kraken Capturer (S)’ to insert the ‘Magic Launcher (A)’.

‘No one would have thought of this kind of connection.’

Even items I’ve never seen before have been put to good use.

I had no idea how to use the ‘God Items’ I originally used.

Because he was a man of royal blood, he could use a variety of items.

I was confident that just being next to Sihyeon would give me a lot of inspiration and teach me how to use it.

-Isn’t that coward asking to be my disciple?

‘That’s correct.’

But Sihyeon’s answer was set.

“no.”

“yes?”

“I have nothing to gain by teaching you.”

Tan had nothing to say because Sihyeon’s words were absolutely correct.

“that…….”

“Think about it.”

“… … ?”

Sihyeon, leaving a strange remark and raising the corners of her lips, climbed onto the quick rain.

“While I was coming back.”

***

Wheeing!

Sihyeon, who had climbed onto the Quickbee, headed towards the place where the pagans were gathered without further delay.

Lin had told us the approximate location, and the five apostles, including the leader of the heretics, were dwarves of the ‘Legion Commander’ level.

With the title , I was able to find them without much difficulty.

‘There’s nothing to do right now.’

Because there wasn’t really anything to do while the quick rain was moving.

Sihyeon checked the divine item she received from the dwarves.

… … .

[Currently owned divine items]

[Astrape (A)]: LV. 10

[Kundala (C)]: LV. 4

[Sun Disc (C)]: LV. 8

[Item, ‘Astrape (A)’ proficiency has reached LV.10.]

[In order for the item ‘Astrape (A)’ to be promoted to S-grade, a ‘special material’ is required.]

‘It’s a special item… … .’

The first thing that caught my eye was the Astrapha.

S-rank.

Before returning, in order to reach this, which is the highest level that the divine item brought by Shihyeon can reach.

You had to use items related to the god’s items as materials.

‘In the case of Astrape, there are a few suitable items… … .’

Because those items were not only not in Sihyeon’s possession at the moment, but were also extremely difficult to obtain.

There was no way right now.

‘I’d rather give him the Dragon Heart and promote him.’

I didn’t know what effect the S-rank Astrapha had.

Considering the difference between A-class and S-class, it was inevitable that the effect would be expected.

The next item Sihyeon looked at was the only item among the items she had acquired that had been ‘promoted’.

It was Kundala.
