God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 044
38. Tyrant of the Forest (1)
‘The first thing to watch out for when dealing with an ogre is its power.’
Sihyeon muttered.
‘And the second is… … sense.’
Ogres have keen senses.
It wasn’t just about visuals.
Despite having a stuffy nose, his sense of smell was even better than a dog’s.
His hearing was as good as a goblin’s, so much so that he could even hear the leaves moving.
During that time, my sense of touch was dull, so I didn’t feel much pain.
Is that all?
It was quite a headache, as it had regenerative powers comparable to those of a troll.
‘The E-grade effect of the Thousand-Thousand Cloud Sword, , means that even if the regenerative power is like that… … it is absolutely necessary to dull the senses.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Or use it in reverse.’
A great disaster and a gigantic army, the ‘Green Swarm.’
I needed to use the method I had used then again.
Green Swarm’s goblin commander, Flick.
As a goblin, the guy had good hearing.
At that time, Sihyeon used numerous speakers to weaken the guy by banging his brain, but it was impossible to place dozens of speakers here in Bukhansan within the remaining time.
Besides, unlike goblins, ogres were incredibly fast and could climb trees well, so they could just get out of here.
‘There is a way to do everything.’
[200,000 points paid.]
[Since the event is in progress, only 140,000 points will be paid.]
[You obtain the item, ‘Sense Amplification Potion (A)’.]
[Sense Amplification Potion (A)]
#This is a potion exclusive to the Knight, Paladin, and Warrior classes that can be purchased at the shop.
Consumable items
Effect
When consumed, all senses are heightened for 3 hours.
It was a potion worth a whopping 200,000 points, even though it was an A-grade item.
Of course, the ‘Skill Proficiency Boost Ticket (B)’ I had previously obtained was of B grade and worth 200,000 points, but this was a different story.
‘The skill boost ticket only lasted for 10 days. This one only lasts for 3 hours.’
Fortunately, since it was an item exclusive to the Paladin class, I was able to receive a 30% discount.
“What would happen if you fed this to an ogre with sensitive senses using Kibisis?”
“Kkurung?”
“Okay, I guess I’ll die. What.”
Sihyeon smiled while gently scratching the back of Gasal’s neck.
“Can you do it?”
“Kkurung!”
I was planning to feed this to the ogre, who already has very sensitive senses.
If that’s the case, then all of your senses will probably become more sensitive, if not more acute.
If so, this could be used as a weakness.
‘The third thing to watch out for when dealing with ogres: persistence.’
Sihyeon frowned.
‘This crazy guy doesn’t even die well.’
Ogres have regenerative powers comparable to trolls.
But this is when no damage is done.
The more blood the creature sheds, the more its regenerative power increases, and it regenerates faster than a troll even if it loses only 10% of its health.
‘That’s crazy resilience… … .’
In addition, when the vitality falls below 1%, it enters the so-called 2nd phase.
I couldn’t just leave it alone.
‘Now is the time to write this.’
Sihyeon, who was muttering like that, took out an item from Kibisis.
[Item, ‘Kibisis (C)’ blooms.]
A-grade item exchange ticket.
It was a reward received after clearing the Platinum Arena.
[Use the item, ‘A Grade Item Exchange Ticket (A)’.]
… … .
[You acquire the item, ‘Skill Book: Execution (A)’.]
[Warning! There are conditions required to learn the ‘Execution (A)’ skill.]
[Intelligence stat 50 or higher.]
[Attack power 50 or more.]
The higher the rank, the higher it gets.
Skills can’t just be learned.
There are various conditions like this, and almost all skills have ‘intelligence’ as a condition.
Of course, Sihyeon met all of these conditions.
I was able to learn skills without any particular restrictions.
‘The Holy Guardian skill was a great help.’
[Skill, ‘Execution (A)’ has been acquired.]
[Execution (A)]
If you hit an enemy with 1% or less health with a magic attack, they will die immediately.
It was a short and simple effect.
But it was effective.
In particular, I was able to instantly kill enemies that came back to life by healing them like crazy while they still had some health left.
Although the magical power consumption was not small, this alone was enough to skip the Ogre’s second phase.
‘Okay now.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Should I wait for the kids?’
[Time left until the eighth plague: 2 days.]
Somewhere in Bukhansan Mountain.
A man was climbing a mountain with his eyes closed.
It was a strange thing.
Even though his eyes were clearly closed, the man walked as if he could see ahead of him.
The man in white priest’s robes had long black hair fluttering in the wind.
I walked like that for several hours.
“Phew… … .”
Even with his body as a player, climbing Mt. Bukhan wasn’t easy.
The man let out a small sigh.
“Why did you tell me to come all the way here… … .”
Currently ranked 9th in Seoul.
The fallen savior, Seo Young-woo.
Above the two tightly closed eyes.
Black eyes like tattoos appeared and were assessing the distance.
“Hey! It’s over here!”
To him like that.
A woman’s voice was heard from far away.
“Mr. Seo Young-woo!”
‘Woman? In a place like this?’
I followed the voice of a strange woman to that place.
I started hearing the sound of a waterfall in my ears.
“Are you here?”
Seo Young-woo heard the other person’s voice and ran with his arms spread out.
“Hyungniiim!”
The voice’s protagonist frees himself from Ramiel.
He completely healed my sister.
His older brother, who saved as many players as possible during disaster situations.
It was Lee Si-Hyeon’s.
“I told you to step back. How can you run so accurately when you can’t even see?”
“That’s right. It’s falling.”
Someone pushed Seo Young-woo’s head as he tried to hug Si-hyeon tightly.
It was the voice of the woman who had called Seo Young-woo up there earlier.
“I haven’t hugged you yet… … .”
“What? Who are you?”
“Me? I’m Park Na-eun?”
“Who is Park Na-eun?”
“Who is Seo Young-woo? Oh, he’s ranked 9th?”
“What? What’s your ranking… .”
“Stop it.”
Sihyeon shook her head as if she was tired.
“I feel dizzy just looking at it.”
Before regression.
If you ask who was more threatening between Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun, it would be difficult to answer easily.
The skill ‘Spreading Doctrine’ is used to infect the angels and fanatics of Eden, as well as ordinary players.
Seo Young-woo literally had the players on the Korean Peninsula at his mercy.
On the other hand, Park Na-eun killed countless players with the power of fire and tens of thousands of Spartoi.
Park Na-eun literally had control over the land and territory of the Korean peninsula.
Of course, there was another player who could be called the ‘biggest threat’ to the Korean Peninsula.
Both were equally difficult and powerful beings.
He has that much charisma, but he often appears somewhat heavy-hearted.
‘But why is it like this now… … .’
Like a puppy and a kitten asking for attention.
The two were growling at each other over Sihyeon.
“… … Say hello to each other. This is Seo Young-woo. This is Park Na-eun.”
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo.”
Seo Young-woo laughed heartily after hearing the introduction.
“Did you see? My brother introducing me first?”
“… … ?!”
At Seo Young-woo’s words, Park Na-eun’s expression distorted like a real witch’s.
“… … I’m so angry!”
‘What the heck?’
I watched the two bickering for a long time.
Sihyeon stroked the saddle.
And then.
“uh?”
Baek In-hwan walked up from the bottom of that mountain.
“I guess everyone is here.”
“What are you again?”
“Are you also my brother or sister?”
“Please stop it.”
After calming them down like that.
Sihyeon explained the operation with a very serious expression.
Because there were operational briefings and exercises that lasted almost two days.
The group was able to fully understand this.
‘If Cheon Yuri had called, it could have been a great help… … .’
The power of Cheon Yuri is the power to manipulate cold.
Not only could it suppress the ogre’s regenerative powers, it could also slow its movements.
You could even install an ice shield.
But it is not possible to invite a patient who is not fully recovered to such a dangerous place.
Unfortunately, we had to solve the problem with only the troops we had.
“Does everyone have a rough idea of the plan?”
At Si-hyeon’s words, Seo Young-woo, Park Na-eun, Baek In-hwan, Gasal, and even Alpha Byung nodded.
Even if it was like that, the giant Spartan Alpha soldier nodding his head looked awkward for some reason.
“Okay then.”
Srrrrung.
Sihyeon stretched out the Cheonjongun Sword.
Black sparks began to fly around his body.
“Let’s go.”
… … .
[Time left until the eighth plague: 0 seconds.]
[The eighth plague begins.]
[The eighth plague is the ‘Ogre’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Objective: Survive the ogres in the area.
Compensation: None.
Additional Rewards: Players who kill the Ogre will receive a reward.
In case of failure: No penalty.
[Time left until the end of the eighth plague: 3 days and 12 hours.]
[Current number of ogres remaining: 1]
[During the Eighth Plague, all players will be able to see the location of the ‘Ogre’.]
Oh my gosh… … .
Unlike any other disaster.
This time no cracks appeared.
Except for ‘that thing’ on top of Mt. Bukhan.
“That is… … ?”
Baek In-hwan’s eyes widened as he saw the size of the crack.
It was larger than any crack, with dozens or hundreds of demons emerging from it.
And the devil that came out was one.
It was an ogre.
“Ku …
The ogre that fell on the peak of Mt. Bukhan roared.
[Warning! You have been exposed to Ogre Fear.]
[All primary stats are temporarily reduced by 3.]
[Temporarily reduces physical resistance by 30.]
[Players with Intelligence below 10 will fall into the ‘Fear’ status effect.]
Even though it was just a simple roar.
A huge debuff was created.
“Um, what is that… … .”
Since his intelligence stat was exactly 10, Baek In-hwan was not affected by the fear status abnormality.
Still, a chill ran down my spine.
A giant creature so large that it makes the trolls I’ve seen before look like children.
Huge molars, eyes that sparkle with murder.
Dark green skin.
He is a demon known as the ‘Tyrant of the Forest’.
Ogre.
“Is it for nothing that the clear condition is ‘survival’ instead of ‘killing’?”
Ogres’ skin was much harder and tougher than that of giant mantises.
The regenerative power was also much stronger than that of a troll.
Even his intelligence was comparable to that of humans.
And above all.
The force was strong.
It’s more powerful than a troll that can easily crush a rock.
It’s not for nothing that the guy only came out as ‘one’.
“Should I call you here first?”
There were two reasons why ogres were called ‘tyrants of the forest’.
The first reason was that it was that strong.
The second reason was that it was so dirty in nature.
And that he has a bad temper.
‘You can’t stand it when someone touches you.’
Even now, you’re looking around like that.
It must have been something like that, as I was wondering what to break first.
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is transformed.]
[Activates skill, ‘Spear Throw (D)’.]
After black lightning gathered in Sihyeon’s hand, he created a spear.
It was shot straight at the ogre.
Kkwadduk… … Boom!
The astrape hit the ogre’s body squarely.
“Ku …
As a result, the ogre trembled.
But that was it.
There was not a single wound on the ogre’s body.
Knock knock.
The guy’s murderous eyes were turned towards this place.
“Oh, it’s coming… … .”
Baek In-hwan swallowed as he met the ogre’s eyes.
Thump.
The ogre, who had jumped lightly from the peak of Mt. Bukhan, landed right where Sihyeon and his group were.
Kwaaaaang!
As if a huge stone had been thrown from a catapult.
The ogre that fell right in front of Sihyeon and his party released a huge shockwave.
“Ugh!”
“This?”
“Ugh… … .”
Just that simple shock wave.
The group stumbled.
Only Sihyeon was moving forward.
“If I was just going to take damage like the quest says, I wouldn’t have prepared like this.”
[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is infused.]
[The item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (E)’ begins to howl.]
[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (D)’ shows its teeth.]
“Let’s go. To catch a monster.”
