God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 036
32. Seocheon Flower Garden
Inside the general exhibition hall.
There was a magic circle engraved here that looked like a flower in bloom.
It boasted a huge size, as it was once used as a gaming stadium.
This huge place was being used as a treatment room for only one person, Cheon Yuri.
‘Well… … there are no other patients right now. It seems like Mr. Cheon Tae-soo is secretly a doting father.’
Could it be because he raised his daughter alone after his wife passed away?
Even before his return, Cheon Tae-su often had trouble sleeping because he was thinking about Cheon Yu-ri.
Thanks to that, I felt like I knew too much about Cheon Tae-soo and his daughter, Cheon Yu-ri.
‘Well, what’s good is good.’
It was a complex procedure, so the exact details could not be determined.
Things seemed to be going well.
Cheon Yuri was lying on a huge medical bed.
Around it was a djinn painted with the blood of blessed trolls.
The orc shaman’s stake was planted in a key location.
Above all, the most important ‘Hwa-ryong’s Reverse Scale’ was providing power among them.
“Are you here?”
“Sihyeon!”
Cheon Yu-ri and Cheon Tae-su welcomed Si-hyeon.
“Thanks to you, the treatment is going well.”
“What? Aren’t you worried about the divine power being contaminated?”
“Isn’t your Majesty someone who can control things thoroughly? And you’re also the one who saved my daughter.”
“… … .”
Cheon Tae-su spoke politely to Si-hyeon.
From Cheon Tae-su’s perspective, it was natural since he was the benefactor who not only helped him meet his daughter, but also saved her life.
‘It’s uncomfortable.’
After fighting a great war before returning.
It was because I had become close with Cheon Tae-su.
If we simply look at the years that have passed, it has been a lot longer since we have lived comfortably.
From Si-hyeon’s perspective, it was uncomfortable for Cheon Tae-soo to be so polite to her.
“… … Sir. Just speak comfortably. I feel uncomfortable with everything.”
“I wonder?”
As if it was like that.
Cheon Tae-su smiled faintly.
Then he ruffled Sihyeon’s hair.
“You little bundle of luck. Thanks.”
“… … .”
Cheon Yuri’s eyes widened at her father’s sudden change in mood.
But Sihyeon was rather calm.
‘Nothing has really changed.’
Rather, it was a welcome surprise.
This was because Cheon Tae-su’s appearance, which seemed cold but was unpretentious once you got close to him, was exactly the same as before he returned.
And the fact that Cheon Tae-soo showed such an unpretentious attitude meant that he now trusted Si-hyeon.
Cheon Tae-su was a loyal person who trusted someone until the end.
A personality that believes in that person until the end, even if he or she betrays you.
Although, at times, his personality was frustrating.
‘If it weren’t for that personality and ability, I wouldn’t have gone with you till the end.’
“I don’t know whose brain came up with the recipe you told me.”
Cheon Tae-su continued speaking.
“It was great. It was absolutely great. But it felt rushed.”
“That’s right. I heard they didn’t have time when they made it.”
“I see. However, it is more stable to create it in the form of a magic circle and breathe energy into it rather than creating it in the form of a potion. Originally, you would have to mobilize dozens of fire attribute magicians or spirit masters… … .”
“Thanks to the Fire Dragon’s Reverse Scale, you have no worries?”
“Yeah. I don’t know what this item is, but it contains some incredible firepower.”
Is it because he is a former hospital director?
Cheon Tae-soo was explaining things to Si-hyeon in a haphazard manner, even using medical terms that Si-hyeon didn’t know.
After listening to Cheon Tae-su’s explanation for a long time.
Sihyeon opened her mouth.
“Well. I’m glad you’re recovering well. This is my promise kept.”
At Si-hyeon’s words, Cheon Yu-ri and Cheon Tae-su looked at each other.
There were still a lot of old feelings left between the two.
Because while they were away from each other, countless events happened and they met again after overcoming each other’s mortal crisis.
And because we had had so many conversations with each other.
Still, the conflict was resolved to some extent.
No matter what happened, they were still family in the end.
“… … Thank you. Really.”
At Cheon Yuri’s attitude as she spoke with a blush on her face.
Cheon Tae-su’s expression became distorted like an evil spirit.
“… … You by any chance?”
“Ah. Ms. Cheon Yuri. I have a favor to ask.”
“Yes? Yes. Just say it.”
Because it was a vision that cured his illness.
Cheon Yuri was ready to listen to anything.
gulp.
Such a tense moment.
Sihyeon said, taking out an object from between his armor.
“Please take care of this.”
“Kkuu!”
The girl who woke up in Sihyeon’s arms stretched and got up.
Then he quickly went into Cheon Yuri’s arms and hugged her.
Could it be because we’ve known each other since we were young?
Or is it because he knew that he had given the Spirit King’s jewel?
There was no sign of any resistance whatsoever.
“Oh my. You’re so cute.”
Cheon Yuri, who saw the scorpion, stroked it.
“He’s a guy born from an egg. His name is Gasal.”
“Really? Oh my… … .”
“You have no sense of naming, do you?”
“Will only you do it?”
Because of the Fire Dragon’s Reverse Scale, Undine could not show herself for a while.
Gasal was able to enjoy Cheon Yuri’s beauty all by himself.
“Please give him some of the energy from the Fire Dragon’s Reverse Scale.”
“Well. The energy coming from the Fire Dragon’s Scale is overflowing, so there’s no problem.”
Cheon Tae-su, who had been playing with Gasal’s nose for a moment, tilted his head.
“why?”
“That’s how you become stronger.”
The only weakness of Shinsoo and Bulgasal is fire and heat.
This was because the guy’s body was made up of iron and would melt easily.
However, if you develop resistance to fire from a very young age, they will develop the property of not melting in most fires.
And now, here is the reverse scale of the ‘Fire Dragon’, the ultimate king of the fire series.
‘You have to use up everything that you can eat.’
Looking at Sihyeon raising the corners of her lips.
Cheon Tae-su scratched the back of his head.
“Okay. Okay. Don’t worry. Then I’ll go. Actually, I have a lot of work to do. Yuri, Dad is going.”
“……huh.”
After Cheon Tae-su left the room.
Sihyeon and Cheon Yuri talked about various things.
Because the common denominator of love arose between the two.
I had more to say than before.
“Then I will also go now.”
“Please stay a little longer, Sihyeon.”
Cheon Yuri caught Sihyeon.
“I do it because I am grateful.”
“… … Next time.”
Sihyeon chuckled.
“I’ll play with you more next time.”
“……yes.”
Sihyeon sold all the demon corpses that she had collected in Kibisis to Cheon Taesu.
Because the demon corpses became valuable materials for the Disaster Forest controlled by Cheon Tae-su.
I could have sold all of these for a very high price.
‘Good.’
Because if there were no Kibisis, they would just rot on the ground.
Sihyeon was able to sell the corpses satisfactorily.
In particular, troll corpses were much more expensive than other demons.
The reason was simple.
Because it was precious and useful.
Because the blood of those with excellent regenerative powers became an important ingredient in potions.
Since Cheon Tae-su did not participate in the arena during the sixth disaster, the number of trolls to use as materials was even more insufficient.
Thanks to this, I was able to deal with trolls with more expensive points.
The corners of Sihyeon’s mouth were raised.
“Even so, please cut it down a little… … .”
“I gave you a big discount.”
“Ugh. What a heartless bastard.”
Cheon Tae-su clicked his tongue at Si-hyeon’s words.
It felt a bit expensive, but Sihyeon was the only player who could supply the corpses of demons, including trolls.
And because there were so many of them.
It was a very satisfactory result from Cheon Tae-su’s perspective as well.
“Well. Anyway, it’s about to start.”
“What are you talking about?”
In response to Cheon Tae-su’s question.
Sihyeon pointed to the sky with her finger.
[Time left until the seventh plague: 8 hours.]
“It’s a disaster.”
“… … .”
“I’m leaving.”
“You’re leaving? Why?”
“Yeah. I have to go deal with the disaster.”
“… … Are you coming back?”
“I have a cute pet here. Of course he’ll come back.”
“Ah. Are you talking about Gasal?”
Cheon Tae-su chuckled when he heard that.
“Yeah. I see.”
“See you again, sir.”
Phew.
After leaving the Disaster Forest.
What Sihyeon saw before his eyes was a familiar scene.
A landscape of collapsed buildings, humans, and demons all mixed together.
The sight of the common apocalypse was in contrast to the paradise-like flower garden inside.
‘This is not the time to be doing this.’
Sihyeon muttered like that and started walking again.
All preparations to deal with the demons that will emerge from the seventh disaster have been completed in the Seocheon Flower Garden.
Now all that was left was to get back to where we were supposed to be within the remaining time.
[The seventh plague begins.]
[The seventh plague is the ‘Giant Mantis’.]
[You have acquired the main quest, .]
Objective: Destroy all locust statues in the area.
Reward: 5,000 points
Additional compensation: Differential payment based on contribution
If you fail: All players in the area will move to the ‘Penalty Zone’.
*In the Penalty Zone, all primary stats are reduced by 50%, and Giant Mantises will continue to spawn until half of the players are dead.
[Time left until the end of the seventh plague: 3 days.]
[Current number of locust statues remaining: 15]
Oh my god.
As always, a crack opened up.
And what poured out from inside were locusts.
“huh?”
“Is it those little guys this time?”
“No, it’s not small.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If it’s this big when viewed from a distance… … .”
The players’ expressions hardened at someone’s words.
Yes.
Many of the cracks that have formed now have formed high in the sky.
Considering that I saw it from far away, it’s that size.
‘What the heck… a giant locust?’
‘Aren’t locusts strong anyway?’
thud.
“Ss …
“Chwiaaaah!”
Soon, the locusts landed on the ground using their wings and cut down the building with the scythes on their front legs.
When it sees a human, it rushes at them, trying to eat them alive.
Due to the overwhelming quantity and size, most players’ faces turned pale.
“Ugh!”
“Still, somehow… … !”
But these are players who have survived five disasters.
He didn’t just sit back and let it happen.
Kwaaaaang!
Whoosh whoosh.
Players and demons began to clash all over Seoul.
“There is a saying.”
Somewhere in Seoul.
This is a fairly wide and long valley with no other players.
There, a man was carrying a Japanese sword on his shoulder.
He muttered, flashing black lightning.
“If we’re talking about creatures of the same size, the locust is the strongest. But you know.”
Shh.
“Wouldn’t it just be a bug?”
“Chirrrrrrrr!”
“Charararara!”
Did you hear what the man said?
A large number of giant mantises gathered around it.
“come.”
The man in black armor, Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is infused.]
[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (D)’ shows its teeth.]
[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Cloud Sword (E)’ causes a whirlwind.]
“After all, there’s nothing better than an electric fly swatter for catching bugs.”
Flash!
Within, along with black lightning.
A strong wind began to blow around.
