God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 030

27. Platinum Arena

“Of course I should go.”

Platinum Arena.

In fact, it was what Sihyeon had wanted.

Because the reward from there was needed to cure Cheon Yuri’s illness.

[Admission to the Platinum Arena is free.]

[Enter the Platinum Arena.]

“Now everyone is nervous.”

Sihyeon looked back at Cheon Yuri and Seo Youngwoo and said.

“The guy coming out of here will be on a different level.”

The Platinum Arena consists of only one round.

But that doesn’t mean we can let our guard down.

Since this is a place you can only get to by clearing the Gold Arena with 5 or fewer people, a great guy popped out.

After looking at the empty stands for a moment.

Sihyeon turned her gaze to the stadium made of platinum.

“Prepare thoroughly. Don’t skimp on points. You too, Cheon Yuri.”

In the Arena exclusive shop, you could purchase items using ‘Arena Points’.

Of course, items purchased from the Arena Shop will disappear after the fifth disaster ends.

The same goes for Arena Points.

“It’s true that the more Arena Points you have, the more rewards you get. But you shouldn’t be stingy. Most people will die if they’re stingy.”

Following Sihyeon’s advice.

Sihyeon and her party used all the Arena Points that they had not used in the Gold Arena.

Seo Young-woo purchased robes and staff exclusively for the arena.

Cheon Yuri temporarily buffs casting speed and magic power recovery speed.

And Sihyeon used all of her arena points to purchase a buff that would increase the main stats of her party members by 10.

While the group was wondering what else to choose.

Sihyeon turned her gaze to the armor she was wearing, the fallen glory.

[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (E)’ proficiency has reached LV.10.]

[Item ‘Fallen Glory (E)’ is promoted to D-grade.]

[Special effect of ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ is activated.]

Fallen Glory has been promoted to D-Class.

‘It was time for a promotion.’

Because the fallen glory has the same proficiency as the material used for Michael’s armor, ‘Holy Glory’.

The ranks rose this quickly.

‘The timing is good.’

Getting promoted before the final battle in the Platinum Arena.

The timing was good.

However, the Fallen Glory is an item that combines the armors of Michael and Lucifer.

Because it was an item that even Shihyeon, not to mention all other players and gods, was seeing for the first time.

I needed to see what effect this guy had.

[The special effect of the item, ‘Fallen Glory (D)’ is activated.]

[You can choose to apply one of the six remaining ‘sins’.]

[anger]

[Appetite]

… … .

‘This?’

Sihyeon’s eyes widened as he saw the effects of the fallen glory.

The Seven Deadly Sins.

A word meaning the seven most fundamental sins of mankind.

Looking at the fallen glory, the guy’s effects seemed to be related to these seven deadly sins.

Each of the seven deadly sins has a demon that represents it.

Among them, he has the power of Lucifer, which symbolizes ‘arrogance’.

There were six sins left.

Among them, Sihyeon could choose the sin he wanted and apply it to ‘Fallen Glory’.

‘good.’

Shh.

The corners of Sihyeon’s mouth went up.

If it was before the regression, I would have been wandering around not knowing what was going on.

He had fought or cooperated with each of the seven demons.

So, what kind of power should be used in what situation?

I knew what power I needed right now.

[I chose ‘Gluttony’ among the six remaining ‘sins’.]

[The special effect of the item ‘Fallen Glory (D)’ has been changed.]

[Fallen Glory (D)]

… … .

D-grade special effects

Predate everything around you to increase your proficiency.

*When absorbing ‘Magi’, proficiency increases by 2 times.

Baalzebub.

A demon who symbolizes gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.

The guy had a special ability to swallow everything and transform it into his own power.

Of course, the guy had the power to literally swallow and absorb ‘everything’.

The fallen glory could only swallow up energy such as magic, divine power, and magical energy.

But this was enough.

‘The priority is to make him grow up quickly.’

Because with the power of gluttony, even the fallen glory itself can grow quickly.

Sihyeon chose this power without hesitation.

[Round 1 will start soon.]

At that moment, the alarm sounded to signal the start of the round.

at the same time.

Cheon Yuri and Seo Youngwoo came and stood next to Sihyeon.

Paat.

Sihyeon and her group’s bodies were moved to the Platinum Stadium.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

With a tremendous roar.

Cracks began to appear in the air above the Platinum Stadium.

What poured out from within were green monsters, trolls.

[Round 1 begins!]

[Number of opponents remaining]

[Troll: 150]

[Troll Shaman: 30]

[Elite Troll: 20]

[Troll Division Commander, Ryoka: 1]

“Kurrrrrr… … .”

At the same time as the message, the transparent membrane surrounding the troll and Sihyeon disappeared.

At the same time, the trolls rushed towards Sihyeon and his group.

“Hold your position well.”

Different from before.

Sihyeon’s eyes became cold.

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is transformed.]

Flash!

As Astraea began to emit black light.

The Thousand-Armed Sword drew a black trajectory.

Crunch! Crunch!

The limbs, chests, etc. of the trolls in front were cut off.

“Kuwaaaaa!”

“Kaaaah!”

But that’s it.

The trolls soon began to swarm without stopping.

“Quiet springs, calm lakes, flowing rivers! Give me strength!”

Behind, Cheon Yuri was exerting her power together with Undine.

Using various water attribute magic such as Aqua Arrow, Aqua Cannon, Aqua Strike, and Torrent.

She was focused on taking down the trolls’ core.

“Wow… … .”

The large trolls were falling like dominoes as Cheon Yuri’s magic targeted their ankles and knees.

Thanks to the newly acquired relics and existing traits.

The magic that Cheon Yuri used was quite powerful.

“die!”

Seo Young-woo, next to Cheon Yu-ri, did not use nightmare or attack magic.

There was only one thing he was after.

It was a ‘debuff’.

Kkarddddddddddd.

A black light appeared above Seo Young-woo’s closed eyes.

The devil’s eyes.

That lump of magic that appeared in place of the angel’s eyes.

He was madly lowering the physical resistance, magic resistance, and stats of the trolls he encountered.

“Kurrrrrr… … .”

“Kueu …

The troll shamans in charge of the rear also showed their strength as if they would not back down.

They used their magic to buff other trolls.

Tzuzuzu, that is.

Thus began the struggle between the troll shaman and Seo Young-woo.

“These stupid kids are using sorcery… … .”

Seo Young-woo raised the corners of his mouth.

“I’m going to dig.”

His appearance strangely resembles Sihyeon.

Cheon Yuri laughed bitterly.

“Let’s support each other wholeheartedly, Youngwoo.”

“Yes! Sister!”

Phew!

With the support of both of them.

Black lightning began to gather in Sihyeon’s left hand.

[Activates skill, ‘Spear Throw (D)’.]

Flash!

Quaddududuk!

The spear-shaped astrape tore through the trolls’ bodies, opening their wounds.

Not only that, it dug into their bodies and completely tore them apart.

The guys are unable to control their bodies and are soaking wet.

The black astrape spread out here and there, causing a chain effect.

[Item, ‘Kibisis (C)’ blooms.]

[Item, ‘Kibisis (C)’ .]

Thanks to the potion that Kibisis was spewing out, the party’s vitality and magic quickly increased.

‘It’s now.’

Sihyeon, who confirmed that the situation had stabilized to some extent, flew away.

That entity is quite large and wears armor instead of leather.

He was an elite troll.

Since these guys are capable of subduing five regular trolls without getting hurt, it would be better to kill them first to avoid any later trouble.

“Kuuuuuuuu!”

Shihyeon’s sword cut off the elite troll’s neck.

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is infused.]

[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Cloud Sword (E)’ causes a whirlwind.]

A black lightning afterimage remained following Sihyeon’s eyes and the sword’s trajectory.

Blades of wind mixed with black lightning shot out all around.

It’s not just the trajectory of Sihyeon swinging his sword.

A gust of wind was blowing around them, grinding their opponents like a blender.

Flash!

Sihyeon, holding a sword in one hand, slashed at the guy indiscriminately.

The healing reduction effect in the Thousand-Hand Sword and the connection with Astraphe.

There was nothing the elite trolls could do.

‘next.’

Sihyeon continued to swing her sword.

His target is elite trolls.

There was only one.

‘We’re reducing it as much as possible before the troll commander jumps in.’

The current position of Sihyeon and her group was bizarre.

One firepower mage, one corrupted priest who inflicts debuffs, and one swordsman.

That is, one assistant role per dealer.

Because the normal melee position alone can’t help these two focus on dealing damage and debuffs.

If we look at it by position alone, Sihyeon and her group were not that great.

But that’s the story when ordinary players decide on their positions.

If one of those players was Sihyeon, it would be a different story.

Sihyeon’s main position is ‘nothing’.

The reason was simple.

Because he could move to any position.

Tank, healer, dealer, support, firepower, recon, command.

The scene where a huge variety of divine items are used.

He was literally an all-rounder.

Since there was no tank in the party right now, I had been taking the position of protecting Cheon Yuri and Seo Youngwoo.

The trolls no longer care about the two.

At this point, we had to catch as many elite trolls as possible.

“How cheeky.”

To Sihyeon, who is slicing down elite trolls like that.

I heard someone’s voice.

Kwaaaaang!

Within seconds, ‘it’ slammed into Sihyeon’s torso at a speed that was too fast to even see.

“Ugh!”

Sihyeon’s body, which had been hit by the guy, flew far away.

Chorus.

Fortunately, the damage was not extensive.

Because the physical resistance provided by ‘Fallen Glory’ was considerable.

Shh.

“Your movements and strength have already been identified.”

Thud. Thud.

“Will it be possible to continue to run wild like that in the future?”

In Sihyeon’s eyes, who quickly got up.

A troll came in, swinging his tail like a whip.

“You’re finally here.”

[Warning! You have encountered the Troll Division Commander, ‘Ryoka’.]

One of the five division commanders under the commander who leads the massive troll army.

The final boss of the Platinum Arena.

Ryoka.

The guy was actually a bit smaller than the other trolls.

Of course, it was still much bigger than Sihyeon.

‘He’s definitely not someone to be ignored.’

The reddish-brown skin was tough and hard, incomparable to that of other trolls.

The tail hanging behind had a power stronger than that of an average whip.

The guy’s raw strength stat alone would be several times that of an elite troll.

“You’re the one being cheeky.”

“what?”

“Can you beat me without a weapon?”

“Kukukuk… … How cheeky. Human.”

Paat.

“I don’t even know the topic.”

In the blink of an eye.

Ryoka’s fist was blocking Shihyeon’s eyes.

but.

Swish.

As if he had expected this, Sihyeon easily dodged the guy’s fist.

Flash!

Shihyeon’s Heavenly Sword splits Ryoka’s chest with black lightning.

At the same time, Ryoka’s tail flew towards Shihyeon’s eyes.

bang!

Dodge and block each other’s attacks, then dodge again.

Shihyeon and Ryoka stepped back for a moment and looked at each other.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After holding the sword that was previously used with only one hand with both hands.

Sihyeon started to seriously attack Ryoka.
