God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 029
26. Troll Arena (2)
There are three surviving parties.
The number of survivors is twelve.
Most of them were magicians or archers who were in the rear, or swordsmen who were lucky enough to escape.
There were no tanks left.
On the other hand, the number of trolls is 36.
All of them except for the 9 caught in the first preliminary round.
“finished.”
“It’s the end… … .”
The players fell to the ground.
It was because my legs gave out.
Among them, there were players who even peed themselves to death.
death.
The roars of the trolls in front of me all at once paralyzed my reason.
“You shouldn’t come to a place like this without permission.”
Forward to those players.
Someone walked out.
Black armor and hair, red lips, and a dull pink sword.
Big eyes and clear, unwavering pupils.
It was a vision.
“I’ll spare you just this once.”
Around Sihyeon’s black armor.
Black sparks began to rise.
“I told you. I can’t help you anymore.”
[Activates skill, ‘Spear Throw (D)’.]
The black spear left Sihyeon’s hand.
Astraea flies so fast that most players don’t even realize that the vision is throwing a spear.
Black lightning.
Astragalus.
Zeus’ lightning was affected by the EX-class skill, ‘Divine Annihilation’.
It was shining black and full of magic energy as it crossed the stadium in a straight line.
Flash!
“What, what is this?”
“crazy…….”
And the bodies of all the trolls along the way were torn to pieces.
That wasn’t all.
Phage crackling.
The black lightning that pierced through the trolls remained in their bodies and dug into their wounds.
“Kuaaaah!”
“Kuwaaaaa!”
The black lightning that penetrated the trolls’ wounds spread through their bloodstream throughout their bodies.
It completely destroyed the insides of the trolls.
“Ms. Cheon Yuri.”
“yes!”
At Sihyeon’s command, Cheon Yuri activated the cold energy.
Tzuzuzu, that is.
Undine was summoned to help with the flow of water and cold.
Within seconds, countless spears and arrows of cold air spread out like fans behind the glass.
“go.”
Tzuzuzu, that is.
Soon, at Cheon Yuri’s command, ice arrows and spears were embedded in the trolls’ wounds.
Because of the effect of Sihyeon’s Thousand Cloud Sword, the wound healed slowly.
Cheon Yuri’s cold magic was able to hit the target properly.
Oh my god.
The bodies of the trolls hit by the cold magic froze.
And at that moment.
Taat.
Sihyeon leapt forward, swinging the Thousand-Armed Sword.
[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Cloud Sword (E)’ causes a whirlwind.]
Saaaaah!
With the sound of the wind cutting through.
Numerous wind blades were created around the Thousand-Chon Cloud Sword.
Crunch.
Sihyeon controlled the wind blades from the Cheonjongun Sword one by one and shot them at the trolls.
Crunch.
Sharp wind blades cut the troll’s skin.
Cheon Yuri, who did not miss the gap, used cold magic to freeze the troll’s insides.
[Successfully defeated the troll.]
[You earn 5 points.]
“Wow, that’s ridiculous… … .”
“Is it that simple… … ?”
“What is that guy? He wields lightning and a sword at the same time?”
“That woman who uses cold energy is no ordinary woman… … .”
The players gathered here at Gold Arena are players from all over Seoul.
Because they couldn’t see Sihyeon in action in the previous disaster.
I couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because where they are, there was no player with such overwhelming force.
Roughly ten, or more.
A huge number of trolls died in an instant.
The players who came here were strong.
No, at least they thought they were strong.
Of course, there are evil spirits like gremlins.
Because other players you encounter on the street can be subdued or killed within seconds.
These strong players formed a full party of eight for each position.
After almost half of them died, only three were caught.
But with one seemingly insignificant attack, he can blow away about a third of the trolls.
It was a different dimension.
Kkwadduk!
Flash!
After a few flashes of black lightning.
“Ku …
“Kaaaaaa… … .”
The trolls instead started to run away.
“Where are you going?”
Flash!
And only after all the remaining trolls have been dealt with.
Sihyeon came back leisurely.
[Congratulations! You have made it through all the preliminaries.]
[Surviving players can either proceed to the main event or leave.]
I hear messages and see visions approaching from afar with black lightning.
The surviving players exchanged glances.
gulp.
‘Oh, maybe… … .’
‘Can’t I catch the bus if I’m next to this person?’
‘Yeah. Even if each person did their part in the preliminaries, if they make it to the finals… … .’
‘But we’re both human, so how could I ignore you?’
So the remaining players began to take notice.
And now.
The time has come to choose.
‘How pathetic.’
Sihyeon shook her head as she looked at the remaining players.
Among the remaining players.
No players or parties gave up on the qualifiers.
A party of four and a party of five.
Despite half of their party dying in the ‘preliminary round’.
They didn’t give up.
‘I guess I know what you’re thinking.’
Sihyeon immediately understood the players’ intentions.
I didn’t mean to blame them though.
‘Well, we’ll find out soon enough.’
Gold Arena.
This place wasn’t so easygoing as to just let people ride the bus.
[Round 1 is played by each party.]
“uh?”
“This, this isn’t it… … .”
It will proceed by party starting from the first round.
However, the party members who died in the preliminaries do not return.
Plus, the first round opponents are five trolls.
Even the ones that came out in the preliminaries were not ‘injured’ trolls, they were real ones.
“Ku …
The opponent in round 1 is a troll.
All parties except for Sihyeon’s party were annihilated.
Even though I wanted to help, I couldn’t.
Because the rounds were divided by party.
“Ugh… … gasp!”
It was a little sad to watch other players die like that.
It was inevitable.
It was their choice to remain here.
[Get ready! Round 1 begins!]
Finally, the message was delivered to Sihyeon and his group.
“let’s go.”
Gold Arena.
If it was a vision before regression, I wouldn’t have even thought of coming.
Even if they come, they will only be concerned with surviving for the time being.
But now it was different.
Currently, Zeus’ thunderbolt, Hera’s magic pouch, armor imbued with the powers of Michael and Lucifer, and Susanoo’s sword.
Sihyeon, who had the equipment of the absolute gods, was an unprecedented player.
In addition, there are the sturdy Cheon Yuri and Seo Young-woo on either side.
then.
‘It’s not a shame to just clear it.’
Sihyeon aimed for the hidden piece this time too.
Bronze and silver.
And the difference in Gold Arena isn’t just in ‘difficulty’.
Hidden piece.
Each round on Gold difficulty contained a hidden piece that could be obtained by meeting hidden conditions.
“Ku …
And the conditions for obtaining the hidden piece of round 1 are.
The goal is to subdue five trolls without getting hurt.
“Youngwoo.”
“Yes, brother.”
“If you played during the preliminaries, you should pay for the meal.”
“Of course. Haha. Just trust me.”
Seo Young-woo came forward following Si-hyeon’s order.
Tzuzuzu, that is.
At the same time as Seo Young-woo’s skill was activated.
Black fog spread out.
“Crunch?”
“Clara?”
Seo Young-woo’s skill, ‘Black Fog’.
Each troll who touches the black fog is confronted with their most horrifying memories.
We are seeing the ‘Nightmare’ version of Ramiel’s power, ‘Illusion’, which has been corrupted.
“Kuwaaaaa!”
“Kuaaaah… … .”
The trolls staggered as they each encountered their own nightmares.
I immediately crouched down.
Most trolls have low intelligence.
They are beaten by their parents or siblings as soon as they are born.
Once you enter the army, you will be beaten and educated even more by your superiors.
It didn’t matter how correct it was.
Because they had unparalleled regenerative powers.
But the pain and nightmares still linger in my mind.
Trolls exposed to the black fog were forced to recall memories of being hit without being able to resist.
As a result, I was instinctively shrinking like that.
[Round 1 has been cleared.]
[The terrified trolls are forcibly recalled.]
Did the trolls realize that they could no longer fight?
The system gave me a message that the clear was successful.
In reality, it was nearly impossible to subdue the trolls without getting hurt.
The hidden piece in round 1 was practically a free lunch.
Because Sihyeon had a capable player named Seo Youngwoo.
“You’re strong, Youngwoo.”
“Hahaha. Don’t mention it.”
Do you feel good because you heard the compliment?
Seo Young-woo laughed heartily.
And Cheon Yuri, who saw that sight, also smiled.
[Hidden condition met.]
[ Defeat all trolls without getting hurt.]
[As a reward, you will receive the item, ‘Orc Shaman’s Stake (A)’.]
[Orc Shaman’s Stake (A)]
#Gold Arena Round 1 Hidden Reward.
#This is a stake made with the blessing of an orc shaman.
Material Items
Effect
[Magic Power +10] [Magic Resistance +10]
*Players with the Alchemist class can use it in a variety of ways.
The hidden reward I received was a stake that was made and used a lot by orc shamans.
Along with the previously obtained item, ‘Blessed Troll’s Blood (C),’ it is an item often used in sorcery.
It was an item that was absolutely necessary for Sihyeon at the moment.
‘There is also a way to use it by putting it in Kibisis.’
That wasn’t the point.
A chronic disease of the eye.
Most of the rewards from the Gold Arena are used to cure Cheon Yuri’s illness.
‘Cheon Yuri will definitely be fixed.’
Currently, Sihyeon has promised to cure Cheon Yuri’s illness and in return has received the SS-grade item, ‘Spirit King’s Jewel’.
That’s why I had to keep my promise to her.
“good.”
After putting the items into the Kibisis.
Sihyeon looked straight ahead.
“Let’s keep going.”
[Round 2 begins!]
[Round 3 begins!]
[Round 4 begins!]
… … .
In this way, Sihyeon and his group quickly broke through the round.
In even rounds like 2 and 4, there were no hidden pieces, so I just dealt with the trolls that came out randomly.
Rounds 3 and 5 were cleared using Cheon Yuri’s Ice Magic and Shihyeon’s Astrape.
It was quite a struggle for everyone in the group, but it wasn’t to the point where it was unbreakable.
This was because the three were so powerful and versatile.
The maze from round 3 and the troll chimera from round 5 were a little tricky to deal with, but that was it.
I was able to quickly break through with the ‘Polar Star Debris (E)’ absorbed by Miroya Kibisis.
The Troll Chimera could be easily broken through with the power of the cold air possessed by Shihyeon’s Astraphe, Cheonchongun Sword, and Cheonyuuri.
‘There’s not much tension. Well, that’s a good thing.’
Sihyeon muttered.
That was understandable.
Unlike the previous five plagues, the sixth plague was ‘thoroughly’ prepared by Shihyeon.
We were able to break through this quickly and efficiently.
[You have cleared the main quest, .]
[Players Lee Si-Hyeon, Cheon Yu-Ri, and Seo Young-Woo cleared the Gold Arena with a party of 5 or fewer people.]
[You have obtained the ‘Platinum Arena’ challenge ticket by satisfying the conditions.]
[*If you succeed in the Platinum Arena challenge, the Gold Arena rewards will be doubled along with additional rewards.]
[*If you fail the Platinum Arena challenge, you will die.]
[Are you sure you want to take on the challenge?]
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth after seeing the message.
“Okay. Now let’s get started.”
