God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 048

40. The Curtain of Night

[Exploitation of the family (S)]

20% of the experience points and points earned by the subordinate are taken away.

Takes away one of the skills of the subordinate.

“Ohh…….”

The corners of Sihyeon’s mouth naturally rose when he saw the skill.

Just stealing the experience points and points earned by the clan was a pretty good effect.

Even if that’s the point, experience was more important to Sihyeon than anything else.

‘You need to gain experience quickly to obtain many divine items.’

Even so, this is true.

The effect of stealing the ‘skill’ of the followers was literally a jackpot.

‘In particular, Ramiel, who Seo Young-woo contracted, can handle lightning. He also has many good skills for Medea.’

Think about the skills you will take away from the followers you will create in the future.

I couldn’t believe that the value of this skill was only S-rank.

‘Well, I’ll take these guys’ skills later… … Let’s get the god items first.’

Sihyeon currently has four divine items.

In fact, he was thinking about getting items like earrings, rings, and bracelets at this time.

‘but yet.’

Shh.

‘I guess I’d better get this first.’

[Trait: Activates ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’.]

[*You have reached level 50.]

[Take the item you want.]

All the surrounding light disappears.

Darkness gathered.

Although it was called darkness, it wasn’t the black darkness that you might normally imagine.

Purple darkness.

You may think that makes no sense, but this is the only word that can explain what is happening right before your eyes.

[Obtain the item ‘Night’s Veil (E)’ from the Goddess of the Night, ‘Nyx’.]

Ancient God.

A god who has existed since the beginning.

Most of them were dethroned and destroyed due to the rebellion of the next generation of gods, or were imprisoned somewhere.

But even among these, there are some.

There were those who survived and maintained their divinity.

The fact that the Ancient Gods survived until now was one of two things.

Or perhaps it maintained a power so strong that no one could approach it for so long.

Or you have built good bonds with later gods.

And the ancient goddess that Sihyeon stole the item from.

Nix (Nyx).

The great world of Olympus, and the deepest world of the dead, Tartarus.

Nyx is the goddess who has ruled over all night and darkness in these two worlds since the beginning of time.

It is still a powerful force.

Even Zeus, the absolute god who rules Olympus, fears and respects him.

I could tell how powerful she was.

The ‘Night Curtain’ that Sihyeon brought was a cloak that she always wore.

[Night’s Veil (E)]

#Nyx, the goddess of the night, is always wearing a veil and mantle.

Accessories (cloak)

Current proficiency LV.1

Wearing effect

[Main Stat +4]

*Main stats increase in proportion to the number of titles you have.

[Magic Power +10] [Physical Resistance +50] [Magic Resistance +50]

Special effects of the brilliant armory of the gods

The more you handle an item, the more your proficiency increases.

When your proficiency increases and you reach LV.10, you will advance to the next level.

E-grade special effects

At night or in the dark, all abilities granted by the Night’s Veil are tripled.

When empowered, the Night Veil creates an artificial ‘night’.

The effect of the night curtain was simple.

It is at night or in the dark that you become stronger.

In addition, with the E-grade special effect, you can create Night by granting it only Magic Power.

‘Well, dark is an item that suits me well.’

Because the night that the curtain of night unfolds is basically made of magic.

Astrape can seep in.

Black lightning striking on a dark night.

The connection would be pretty scary.

[Equipped with the item ‘Night’s Veil (E)’.]

‘Is the color of the cloak purple because the night that Nyx symbolizes is purple?’

The night curtain was a deep, dark purple, with white sparkles here and there on the cloak.

These are the stars that decorate the night sky.

‘Stars signify achievements. And achievements are evaluated by titles.’

Four.

The guys were showing up as many times as the number of titles Sihyeon had.

“Gurrrrr!”

Gasal followed the stars moving along the cloak as if it was a miracle.

Sihyeon snickered when she saw that.

“Come out for a moment.”

“Kur?”

“This outfit is a little uncomfortable, you know.”

[Item, ‘Astrape (B)’ transforms the item.]

After taking the lid off for a while.

Sihyeon transformed her outfit into Astraphe.

The night veil, which had been a long, flowing cloak, had transformed into a coat that fit the body.

Although there wasn’t much of a difference, this outfit was still the most comfortable for Sihyeon.

‘Is the ninth plague left now?’

Sihyeon muttered as she looked up into the empty space.

The opponent of the ninth disaster is.

Orc.

Orcs are not born as strong as trolls or ogres.

Those guys are not demons, they are a foreign race.

Because they were guys who had the qualifications to be ‘players’ like humans, they grew quickly and became stronger.

I couldn’t let my guard down.

‘There are some strong players among them, like those in the top 10 in Seoul.’

Until the first catastrophe, the Green Swarm.

And there was nothing special to prepare for until the trolls and giant mantises.

Because Sihyeon had been thinking about and getting the MVP rewards and the divine items and just growing them was enough.

But the eighth plague, the Ogre, was different.

‘From here on out, thorough preparation is necessary.’

Of course, there was no need to make such preparations simply to complete the quest.

Because Sihyeon wanted to catch the ogre and get a bigger reward.

This was such a thorough preparation.

The same was true for the ninth plague, the Orcs.

If you simply want to complete the quest, you can do it with the promoted Astraphe and the newly acquired Night’s Veil.

What Sihyeon wanted wasn’t just to clear the stage.

“let’s go.”

“Gurrurrung!”

Sihyeon, holding Gasal in her arms, took a step forward.

Where he is headed is where Cheon Yuri is.

It was a hospital room.

“Gurrurrung!”

“Go!”

As soon as Gasal discovered Cheon Yuri, he rushed over.

Fortunately, the guy was light.

Cheon Yuri was able to hug Gasal without much trouble.

“This guy.”

Sihyeon grabbed the back of the neck of the guy and lifted him up.

“I told you not to do that to patients.”

“Gurrung… … .”

“I’m fine.”

Cheon Yuri said, gently embracing Ga Sal.

‘It’s gotten a lot better.’

Now, even when I came near Cheon Yuri, I didn’t really feel the cold.

-Karrr.

“Gurrung!”

Watching Undine, who had been summoned without me knowing, playing with Gasal.

Sihyeon stared at Cheon Yuri.

“Why, why?”

“Oh. It’s nothing.”

Sihyeon looked around and said.

“I think I should take this one back.”

What Sihyeon was pointing to was the A-grade item stuck here, the Orc Shaman’s Stake.

“Ah. He said I don’t need this anymore. My body is almost healed now… … .”

“That’s fortunate.”

Sihyeon laughed.

He didn’t even notice that Cheon Yuri blushed at that sight.

The stakes that were stuck in various places in the city were removed one by one and placed inside the kibisis.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Thanks.”

To put it simply, the process of treating Cheon Yuri’s body was like this.

Cheon Yuri’s special trait, ‘Cold-blooded (A)’, is a trait that occurs because the magical power in his body is cold.

All I had to do was neutralize it with hot air.

‘Of course, if you go deeper, it gets a lot more complicated… … .’

Because the Fire Dragon’s Reverse Scale was a scale that had the power of the ‘Red Dragon’ that could control fire.

It was enough to neutralize the cold air from Cheon Yuri.

“Ms. Cheon Yuri, get well soon. Then you can eat.”

“Once you get better, I can make you as much food as you want.”

“Haha. I’m looking forward to that.”

“Huh huh… … .”

Cheon Yuri was looking at Gasal and Undine like that.

He muttered in a small voice.

“……thank you.”

“… … .”

“Thanks to Sihyeon, I was able to reconcile with my dad.”

“I guess you had a lot of conversation.”

“Yes. Of course, what Dad did to me was painful and I will remember it for the rest of my life… … .”

Cheon Yuri sighed.

“It’s true that my father has done so much for me. And more than anything, we are family.”

“Family… … family.”

Sihyeon closed her eyes for a moment and thought of her family.

The only family he had left was his older sister.

‘Like Seo Young-woo and Seo Ji-hye.’

The family history that Si-hyeon had previously told Cheon Yu-ri was not just a boast or a fiction.

In fact, when Si-Hyeon was attending kindergarten, his older sister killed his father and stepmother.

Was it because he inherited his mother’s blood, who ran a raw fish restaurant?

She was a natural at cutting.

‘I’m sorry, Sihyeon. I just can’t forgive those beastly bastards.’

It was what my older sister said as she carefully wiped away the blood that had splashed on her.

It was a very obvious family story.

‘Yes. I can understand that he brought in another woman after his mother died. He must have had a lot of money since he received bribes like that.’

‘sister…….’

‘But what I really can’t stand is the fact that those two not only swung their fists at me, but also at you. Our lives are already miserable, so isn’t it too much to suffer domestic violence on top of that? You’re young so you don’t know… … but there will come a day when you will understand this older sister.’

After wiping all the blood off Si-Hyeon’s body.

His older sister disappeared somewhere with the bribes and kickbacks her father had secretly received from gangsters.

‘After that, I was a church child. After becoming an adult, I had to work part-time because I couldn’t afford college tuition.’

Even while growing up like that.

Sihyeon didn’t blame her older sister.

It was true that he had abandoned me, but I thought there was a good reason for it.

Rather, what he resented was his father and ‘God’.

‘When I think about it, I’ve hated God since then. If there’s a God, why is he neglecting me and the children at the orphanage like this? What did I do wrong to deserve this? … Why are the nuns who believe in God beating children?’

I think there are many who don’t do that, but at least that was the reality that Si-Hyeon experienced.

Sigh.

‘If the gods can’t even take care of these little children, then I thought it would be better for me to steal their power and use it myself…’

It was a family history that I had never told anyone, before or after my return.

“Mr. Sihyeon?”

Suddenly, he looked at Sihyeon, who was dazed and then snickered.

Cheon Yuri looked at him as if she was worried.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah. Sorry. I was absent-minded for a moment.”

“… … .”

“Take care of yourself. Get some rest until the ninth disaster.”

After patting Cheon Yuri on the shoulder and encouraging her.

Sihyeon added.

“You have to work hard in times of disaster.”

“……goodbye.”

Watching the vision disappear along with the story.

Cheon Yuri’s feelings became complicated.

‘What on earth was that…? What kind of expression was that?’

[Time left until the ninth plague: 15 days.]

“good.”

There are now 15 days left until the ninth plague.

Sihyeon, who had become accustomed to using the ‘Night Curtain’, clapped her hands.

Because it was an item I had never used before the regression and had only heard of through rumors.

This process was mandatory.

“Shall we go?”

“Gurrurrung!”

He is currently out of the disaster forest and in the middle of a collapsed Seoul.

I knew now was the time to start preparing.

“Let’s start with the skills. Let’s go.”

Recently acquired S-rank skill, ‘Subordinate Exploitation’.

Using this, the two powers that Sihyeon has.

It was time to steal Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun’s skills.
