God’s Nemesis Returns Episode 210
123. Night of the Corpse (1)
Crackle.
“good.”
Floating in the air and looking at the ground, the ghoul ‘Kungkang’ under Blood Deep looked into the eyes of his opponent.
‘With this level of power, we should be able to achieve our goal.’
These three, including Kkungkang, are among the ten strongest ghouls that have ever come to Earth and the region known as East Asia.
I was dropped into this sea with the order to find and persuade the strongest player in the region called ‘Korea’.
‘Just drop it in the sea near Korea, what is this?’
He shook his head.
‘Still, it does have some meaning. Because we can see how strong the humans here are.’
As Kkungkang turned her head slightly, her pink hair fluttered.
Kkarduduk!
Following Kkungkang’s command, the swimming zombies swam towards their opponents.
Two of Ghouls’ greatest strengths.
The first of these was the power to handle ‘corpses’ like this.
And the target wasn’t just the zombies swimming in the sea right now.
“Struggle, human.”
Kkungkang smiled.
“Let’s see how long you can hold out.”
***
“Oakjan.”
“Why, Master. Is it time to break those pseudo-corpses?”
“that’s right.”
Looking at the two ghouls rushing at him.
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“Are these things a favor?”
“I get it.”
Pfft!
Leaving behind only a few words, Sihyeon stepped on the ship and soared into the sky.
“… … !”
The two ghouls looked back in surprise at the faster-than-expected movement.
There wasn’t even time to enjoy that kind of leisure.
“Where are you looking?”
Above each of their heads was an oaken hammer and a giant palm.
Pfft!
“Oh, you’re ignoring the other two ghouls and rushing at me… … .”
Seeing that, Kkungkang waved his hand leisurely.
Tsuzujeok.
Then the boy’s eyes turned red, and red blood engulfed his entire body.
The second of Ghouls’ strengths.
They were able to elevate their physical performance to the limit through blood flow.
Compared to any other race.
“Come!”
In that way, the rocket also shot down towards Sihyeon.
“If I kill you, these zombies will be quiet.”
“That’s what happened when you killed me, you idiot!”
In an instant, the long, blood-curdling nails of the squirrel scratched Si-hyeon’s face.
It may be said to be a scratching weapon, but considering its sharpness and power, it was almost on par with the Aura Blade of the Inspector class.
A terrifying power that can even cut through steel like tofu.
but.
[Activate .]
‘huh?’
As I confronted the power my opponent had unleashed head-on, the blood in my fingernails quickly disappeared as if it had never existed.
‘What is this…?’
Only then did Kkungkang see his opponent and felt goosebumps run down his spine.
Pure white skin, black hair, red lips.
Above all, the ability to mix and use the power of the absolute gods of the other world.
“Could it be… the fallen king?”
“Do you understand now?”
Phage, phage, phage!
Storm, sun and lightning all mixed together.
A picture was created by following the Thousand Cloud Sword wielded by Sihyeon.
Susanoo’s storm that pushes away and cuts down everything with its powerful force.
The sun of Ra that burns and melts everything.
Even Zeus’ thunderbolt, which shatters everything with unpredictable movements.
Although, within the scope of what he knew, Kkungkang was considered to be on the ‘strong side’.
It was a power that a mere ghoul could not handle.
“Okay, wait… …negotiation… … .”
“What kind of negotiation is there with a guy who wants to kill humans for fun?”
Phage crackle!
“good.”
Sihyeon just swung the Cheonjongun Sword once.
The third in the grilling order, Kkungkang, had his entire body burned and died.
[Excellent! You have defeated the mad ghoul ‘Kkungkang’.]
[Experience points… … .]
… … .
“It’s nothing.”
Using Kibisis to suck up byproducts.
Sihyeon looked down.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
The other two ghouls also had their bodies strengthened with blood energy.
It was nothing compared to Oakjan.
‘That guy has gotten a lot stronger, you know.’
Oakjan was pressuring his opponent with only his physical strength, without using any blood at all.
From a player’s perspective, it was like subduing a demon without using any magical power at all.
Kkwadduk!
With an eerie sound, the head of one of the ghouls held in Oaken’s hands was crushed.
The remaining one was already dead, its chest pierced by the holy relic.
There was nothing more to see.
“Okay. Okay then.”
Sihyeon looked at Oakjan again and said.
“Let’s go. Home.”
***
Kwaaaaang!
Whoosh whoosh!
So Sihyeon and Oakjan crossed the sea and came back to land.
“What are they?”
“Joe, zombies! Attack!”
The ghouls who saw Shihyeon and Oakzen controlled the surrounding zombies and used their blood to pressure them.
It didn’t help much.
Of course, the power of the Oakzen was already at a level where it was no longer a threat to ordinary demons.
“But I don’t like this night.”
[Item, ‘Night’s Curtain (B)’ is drawn.]
Soon, the vision and the oak tree covered with a purple night curtain were unstoppable.
It was as if he was shouting at the ghouls to come out.
“Ugh… … .”
“Those kids… … .”
The ghouls stopped when they saw that sight.
I wanted to tear those guys apart right away, but it was impossible with the abilities they had.
Because ghouls were not corpses without self or intelligence like zombies.
There was no one who rushed forward knowing that they would die.
“It’s bland.”
Sihyeon, who had been mumbling like that, started walking.
“Well, while we’re at it, should we stop by the Disaster Forest?”
***
Hongcheon, Gangwon-do.
Here, players who follow ‘Mago’, one of the three absolute gods that rule the Korean peninsula, gathered.
Originally, they were located in Seoul, the center of Korea.
The move was due to negotiations between Mago and Hwanin and the rapidly changing political situation.
Excluding Jeju Island, this was the place where the Magopa gods’ power was most concentrated.
And the most powerful of them all is the ‘manager’ who leads them.
Flower garden, Cheon Tae-su.
As usual, he was guarding the Seocheon Flower Garden from the oncoming demons.
That devil is none other than a ghoul.
Because of just two ghouls, Cheon Tae-su was barely holding on, having lost all his strength.
“Move the wounded first! I’ll take care of this place!”
“yes!”
It was much easier than before, thanks to the disappearance of the elves and ents that had been occupying this place recently.
The sluggish territorial expansion has now expanded to areas such as Yangpyeong, Chuncheon, and Hoengseong.
If we look at it simply in terms of land, it governed an area larger than Jeju Island.
The problem is that as the territory expands, there is too much to manage.
Unlike when we only managed the Disaster Forest, managing such a wide area was a different task.
The constant influx of demons, the increasing number of casualties, and the large and small conflicts between people.
There was so much to do.
‘It was a big blow that I couldn’t find a traitor among these people.’
And now.
Cheon Tae-su was troubled by enemies coming from both inside and outside.
“I never thought I would be born a human and then choose to turn into a monster… … .”
The most shocking of these are the two men I saved a long time ago.
It was a betrayal by Jeong Jin-su and Jo Jin-seong.
‘Repaying kindness with enmity… … .’
Ugh.
Cheon Tae-su ground his teeth.
When Jo Jin-seong moved from Seoul to Gangwon-do, he was suffering from a disease that caused bleeding all over his body.
Because anyone could tell that it was the symptom of someone who had failed to cross the Seocheon River.
Cheon Tae-su took good care of him and treated him.
He thought that he was also responsible for the damage to the Seocheon River.
Jin-su Jeong was wandering around with one of his arms cut off while traveling from Seoul to Gangwon-do.
Even though one of his arms was cut off, he still had a fairly high level thanks to his special effect.
Cheon Tae-su highly regarded his abilities and took him under his command.
In that way, the two seemed to be protecting Cheon Tae-su and the people of Seocheon well.
Because he was at the forefront of the war against the elves that followed.
So it was even stranger that he betrayed humans and sided with zombies and ghouls.
‘Why… why betrayal.’
But Cheon Tae-su didn’t know.
That they had been planning to stab Cheon Tae-su in the back of the head from the beginning and devour all the power he possessed.
“That old bastard doesn’t die easily.”
Jo Jin-seong, standing in front of Cheon Tae-su, muttered.
Despite being transformed into a ghoul, the guy still had a fat body.
“Ha… … I just want to explode with anger and kill him.”
“Hey, hold on.”
Jeong Jin-su laughed heartily next to me.
“Then everything we’ve done so far is useless?”
“Hahaha. That’s true. Cheon Tae-soo, that old man is really stupid. He gulps down the tea we gave him.”
“That’s right. Do you know what’s inside? For example, a potion that can limit an opponent’s magical powers at any moment we want?”
“How did someone so stupid get into medical school?”
“Kekekekeke. If only the demons hadn’t come out, I think I would have gone to medical school too?”
Blood flowed down the corner of Cheon Tae-su’s mouth.
Jeong Jin-su and Jo Jin-seong
Both were formidable opponents.
After turning into a ghoul, Jeong Jin-su gained abnormally strong physical abilities.
And Jo Jin-seong acquired an abnormal level of blood magic.
From Cheon Tae-soo’s perspective, he couldn’t know how the two of them had become so strong, and it wasn’t important to him.
The important thing is that we need to stop those two now.
The only thing we had to do was to prevent any more victims.
“Isn’t that old man’s daughter pretty?”
“That’s right. I thought it would be pretty useful. Since we’d only met once, I had a hard time hiding it.”
“If I completely subdue that old man and hand him over to ‘them,’ then my daughter… … .”
Kkwaddudduk!
Before the two could even finish speaking.
Numerous tree trunks sprouted up around the feet.
“A trick.”
Jeong Jin-su, who saw that sight, swung his fists in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The trees that touched Jeong Jin-su’s sword burst apart.
But that’s just the beginning.
Saaaa!
Pollen spread through the burst trees.
“Ugh!”
“It’s a bit awkward. Get out of the way!”
Jo Jin-seong, who saw that, used blood magic to push away the pollen.
As a Cheon Tae Soo who handles various powers, this was a measure taken in case there were any strange effects within it.
But that was both of their mistakes.
In fact, the pollen inside Cheon Tae-su’s plant had no effect.
‘Now is the time!’
Cheon Tae-su’s eyes lit up as he seized the opportunity.
Suddenly.
The petals that formed under the feet shot out tiny seeds like bullets.
Those seeds went straight to Jeong Jin-su and Jo Jin-seong’s ankles.
Devil Seed.
A devil’s seed that parasitizes the opponent and absorbs their power.
It was the most efficient attack method that Cheon Tae-su had, but it was a skill that he was reluctant to use because it killed his opponents too horribly.
“Ha. You old man. Is this what you were aiming for?”
But even that didn’t work.
Jeong Jin-su struck them away with his ghostly reflexes and grabbed Jo Jin-seong by the back of the neck.
“Did you think that if you just turned your gaze and attention, everything would be fine?”
Papa Pot!
Jo Jin-seong, who barely survived thanks to Jeong Jin-su, was gritting his teeth.
“If you’re going to be an old man… … Just follow me quietly!”
Kwaaaaang!
The giant fist of blood energy created by Jo Jinseong landed on Cheon Taesu’s head.
“Keuk… … !”
Jo Jin-seong approached Cheon Tae-su, who was bleeding and collapsing, and bowed his head rudely.
“You’re making me feel exhausted for no reason.”
“That’s right.”
Pfft!
Suddenly a voice was heard from behind.
Jeong Jin-su and Jo Jin-seong turned their heads.
‘How do you get here?’
‘Surely there were other ghouls and zombies blocking the way?’
When I looked back, there was a man with a sinister look in his eyes walking slowly towards me.
“… … !”
“You, you… … you?”
That man is a man who has a bad relationship with both Jeong Jin-su and Jo Jin-seong.
Ranked #1 in East Asia, the Fallen King.
It was Lee Si-Hyeon.
“You guys… … still haven’t come to your senses?”
