God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 188

115. The Saintess of the Dragon Church (3)

The moment Giroon opened the door.

-Little kid, stay still.

“Gurururung? (What’s going on?)”

At Mehen’s words, Gasal ran into Sihyeon’s arms and hugged her.

Currently, Sihyeon is acting completely subdued.

In this situation, pretending to know could have put me in trouble.

Fortunately, the quick-witted Gasal was simply being held in someone’s arms.

“Saint.”

Giroon knelt and bowed his head before a human woman who was sitting on a sacred altar as a throne.

“I have completely subdued him. Now you can interrogate him at your leisure, and if you wish, use him as a slave.”

“good.”

“Yes. May the violence of the tyrano be with you.”

With that, Giroon bowed and walked backwards out of the room without turning around.

It was the best example of a slave facing an emperor.

[Ice Cube (B)]

The saintess on the altar, who confirmed that Giroon had left, waved her hand and activated her skill.

Soon, a pleasant cold air spread out in the shape of a cube.

It covered the highest part of the place known as the ‘Temple of the Saint’.

‘I’ve just learned this skill.’

Skill, Ice Cube.

In this, the effects of all skills and items that utilize cold air are strengthened.

The sound heard inside did not leak outside.

Swish… … .

The ‘Saint of the Storm Dragon Church’ that Sihyeon had been searching for rose from the altar.

Soon, it glided down through the air.

Long silver hair, pure white skin, fresh lips, clear eyes, beautiful appearance.

Above all, the heat and cold swirling around.

Yes, that’s right.

The true identity of the Saintess of the Pyongryong Church is a comrade who has been with Sihyeon since before the return.

It was glass.

***

“This is a big deal… … .”

Because there was no one in this room right now.

Cheon Yuri had long ago abandoned strict, dignified, and serious expressions.

“Mr. Sihyeon, you must not lose your senses… … .”

“Kururung! Kororo! (That’s acting, Butler #2! I’m trying to play a prank on you!)”

“Yeah. Are you worried about your family too?”

“Ku? Gurrur… … (Huh? I’m so frustrated…)”

Cheon Yuri did not have the , so she could not understand Gasal’s words.

When Cheon Yuri was looking into Sihyeon’s eyes with genuine concern.

“hello?”

“A cure?”

Sihyeon, who had returned her gaze to its original state, smiled and spoke to Cheon Yuri.

Cheon Yuri was so surprised by this that she fell backwards and was in danger of falling.

‘this.’

Because I was just joking around and never intended to hurt her.

Sihyeon quickly grabbed Cheon Yuri’s waist.

Sarrurur… … .

As the pure white robe of the special glass fluttered, frost roses bloomed everywhere.

The eyes of Sihyeon and Cheon Yuri, who were in such a strange posture, met.

When each other’s images are reflected in each other’s clear and transparent eyes.

-That’s crazy. I’m going out for a smoke.

Mehen spat on the floor.

Hururuk.

Only then did Cheon Yuri, whose face turned red like a carrot, quickly escape from Sihyeon’s arms.

Sihyeon coughed in vain and scolded the poor Mehen.

“Hey! Why are you talking nonsense… … .”

-Lee Si-hyeon. This is the first time I’ve seen your ears turn red.

“Wh, what the hell are you talking about!”

“Ahem… …! Sihyeon?”

As expected, looking at Cheon Yuri, whose face was blushing.

Sihyeon apologized first.

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do this.”

“Well, then you should tease them appropriately!”

At that moment, the awkward atmosphere was about to return.

-But why is the ice girl here?

Mehen intervened.

“It’s been a while, Mehen. That’s why I came here… … .”

“Gurrung… … (It’s long, so to speak…)”

***

When Sihyeon was clearing the illusion maze using Kundala.

The place where Cheon Yuri and Gasal fell was Black Tooth.

It was the exact opposite direction from the Sujeong Palace.

“Wow… … You’re so unlucky.”

Sihyeon clicked her tongue.

The original plan was for Cheon Yuri to go to the Crystal Palace first, gather information about the place, and take on the quest first.

But since I fell into this Black Tooth, there was nothing I could do.

“It’s not that I was unlucky.”

“Isn’t the starting position random?”

“I don’t know about other players… … but not me.”

“You said it wasn’t like that?”

As far as Sihyeon knows, the location where you fall into the Crystal Maze is completely random.

Since this is a value set directly by the system, no one can touch it.

“Cultist… … Byrant. I think he has some special skills.”

“Viralent… … .”

“Yes. That guy had a skill that tracked and summoned dragon blood.”

‘So, after Heavenly Yuri was summoned in the Crystal Maze, did you call Heavenly Yuri back as Black Tooth? No. It is impossible to teleport within the Maze.’

If so, there is only one way left.

‘Did Cheon Yuri take it out when she went through the crack between the Crystal Maze and the Train Maze?’

A method that only those who have mastered advanced magic can use.

Just with the information that Cheon Yuri came to Black Tooth as soon as it started.

Sihyeon could guess the level of the cult leader to some extent.

‘Not only Magma Flight, but… … even if five Archbishops rush at it at once, it would be a monster that they wouldn’t be able to handle.’

After looking at Sihyeon’s serious expression.

Cheon Yuri continued speaking.

“That… … From then on, it was simple. He suddenly checked the back of my neck, saw the ‘Hwa-ryong’s Reverse Scale’, and worshipped me as a saint.”

“ah……!”

Only then did Sihyeon clap his hands.

Now it felt like the puzzle was finally coming together.

“The original owner of the Fire Dragon’s Reverse Scale. So, that Fire Dragon… … .”

“Yes, that’s right. It was the same being as the ‘storm dragon’ they served.”

Sihyeon nodded.

‘There is only one red dragon called the Storm Dragon.’

Tyrant Dragon.

Flare Doom.

Until now, we didn’t know what kind of dragon this guy called the Fierce Dragon was, so we couldn’t define its identity.

This guy was the only one who got caught in the intersection of a blizzard and a fire dragon.

‘A dragon scale worth as much as Flare Doom was in a random arena box… … .’

Flare Doom is a demon that later appears as the final boss of the Great Calamity.

Not only was his strength needless to say, but even in terms of mere rank, he was of the highest rank.

If humanity had not been weakened by fighting the gods, they would have been destroyed by the non-gods and the army of dragons.

“It wasn’t some bunch of idiots claiming to be a volcano, it was a real volcano.”

“Yes. Anyway, I was trapped here and couldn’t go anywhere else. While I was killing time like that, I heard news that a human had been captured… … .”

“You asked me to bring you here in case it was me?”

“Yes. Before the leader sees it and does something strange.”

Sihyeon nodded.

‘It seems that the leader Byron trusts Giroon quite a bit. He lets him approach the saint without any suspicion.’

Anyway, things weren’t so bad.

[Currently working on the sub-quest, .]

Do you know that your target is right in front of you?

Or does Sihyeon know that she can’t complete the quest?

A message appeared, telling me to clear the quest.

However, as Sihyeon had planned in advance, there was no failure penalty for this quest as long as you didn’t give up.

‘You can’t kill Cheon Yuri.’

It was quite a shame that I couldn’t get the item as a reward.

But that doesn’t mean I can kill Cheon Yuri.

“Then what was Ms. Cheon Yuri doing here?”

“Haha. Don’t be surprised. I’ve secretly gotten stronger.”

“yes?”

Cheon Yuri wasn’t just trapped here.

Slurp, slurp.

Suddenly, dark red scales emerged and covered Cheon Yuri’s skin like armor.

Wings that perfectly cover Cheon Yuri’s body, although small compared to the wings of a real dragon, and a long tail with thorns at the end.

Above all, the pupils of his once clear eyes became elongated like those of a predator.

[Warning! A strong aura is directed at the target.]

[Item, ‘Kundala (C)’ reveals the dignity of a king.]

‘What is this?’

An intense gaze that cannot be compared to that of the Archbishop of the Lava Sky, Magma Flight, whom we met before.

Even the most powerful demons and players were unable to move.

Of course, the exception was Shihyeon who had Kundala.

“As expected, Sihyeon-ssi is fine. The other dwarves were too scared to do anything.”

“It doesn’t seem like it’s just a scare, does it?”

[Magic use is limited.]

[You are under the ‘Status Abnormality: Magic Depletion’ effect.]

[If you make eye contact with the target, you will be inflicted with ‘Abnormal Status: Exhaustion’.]

Just making eye contact made me feel like all the strength drained from my body.

Dragon Fear.

One of the many powers of the dragon, the top predator and god of beasts.

“I have to be a little careful when writing that.”

“I don’t know exactly what effect it has… … .”

“First of all, it seems to disrupt the flow of magical power. Exhaustion and… .”

So, Sihyeon pretended to be the one who had just been hit, and told him about the effects and how to use Dragon Fear.

Before returning, I had caught countless dragons and been defeated by them.

It wouldn’t be difficult to give a tip like this.

‘Actually, the scariest thing about Dragon Fear is that it drives you crazy.’

Because he was wearing the Kundala, Shihyeon was able to maintain his sanity as usual.

Sihyeon, who was looking at Cheon Yuri like that, was amazed.

“Then it’s not just that I’m stuck helplessly… … .”

“Yes. I persuaded Byrant to drink some dragon’s blood.”

Cheon Yuri used a method that even Sihyeon was impressed by.

Dragon’s blood.

I just drank it straight.

“I’ve been eating it drop by drop, but I haven’t even finished a paper cup yet… … .”

“Good job.”

What Cheon Yuri drank was none other than the blood of ‘Flare Doom’.

If you drink too much of that guy’s blood, the blood flow and magical power in your entire body will burn out.

‘Even if it’s not even the amount that can fit in a paper cup… … it would be quite strong.’

Since Cheon Yuri had various breathing techniques as a magician and spirit master, it seemed that she had no problem accepting the dragon’s power.

“Come to think of it… …what about the spirits?”

“I’m fine. I’m evolving right now, so I can’t be with you.”

“Are you evolving?”

Sihyeon’s eyes widened as he heard for the first time that spirits could evolve.

“Yes. I’m still sleeping.”

“Hmm… … .”

The dragon’s power has become so powerful that its appearance can change, and new magic skills and spirit evolution have been added.

I wanted to check her information right away, but it was impossible because Draupnir was not there at the moment.

‘Following the power of cold, the power of the fire attribute red dragon… … .’

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth when she saw Cheon Yuri.

“You must be very strong.”

“There’s no need to use it in real life.”

Sihyeon looked at her, lost in thought for a moment.

‘If this happens, it will be possible for Cheon Yuri and I to escape alone.’

Originally, if there was Cheon Yuri, there would have been enough power to attack this place and kill the saintess.

But Cheon Yuri herself is a saint, and she has also gained powers of a different level than before.

It seemed possible to make a fuss and go to the Sujeong Palace before the leader arrived.

However, there was a problem.

‘If the Crystal Palace dwarves find out that Cheon Yuri is the saintess of the Pyongryong Cult, they will definitely try to kill her.’

And currently, there is an item in the Sujeong Palace that is being upgraded.

I couldn’t just take Cheon Yuri with me.

“… … Then what should I do?”

After hearing the entire situation explained to Si-hyeon, Cheon Yu-ri returned to her human form and became lost in thought.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do.”

“There’s nothing you can do?”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth at Cheon Yuri’s question.

“I have no choice but to waste as much time as possible.”

The strategy that Sihyeon established was this.

First of all, Sihyeon continues to waste time while staying here.

In this way, the proficiency of the items owned by the gods in the crystal palace will continue to increase.

Here, the glass that absorbs the power of Flare Doom also becomes stronger.

The longer you drag it out, the stronger it becomes.

“Of course, this plan can never last forever.”

There are only seven of them, but it’s about time human players came over from the Train Maze and Illusion Maze.

If that happens, the human players in the Crystal Palace will attack this place, the Pyongryonggyo.

This was because Magma Flight and Pwim, who were originally the final bosses, were killed.

The war will not end until either the Dragon Cult or the Crystal Palace Dwarves are destroyed.

That is, since I didn’t know how much time was left, I had to absorb the power as quickly as possible.

“Ms. Cheon Yuri. I have a favor to ask.”

“Please?”

“Yes. We don’t know how much time we have left. We have to use it as efficiently as possible.”

As Sihyeon said that, he took out the ‘Dragon Heart (A)’ that he had taken out of his small dwarf pouch.
