God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 055
45. Predator
But I spoke confidently to Cheon Yuri.
Dealing with the Ogre Commander, Rom, was not an easy task.
It would be nice to use the same strategy we used against the young ogre during the eighth plague.
Unfortunately, this was not possible.
The guy could enter a ‘berserk’ state at any time, like an orc with the blood of a conqueror.
He was a guy who would use his senses to become stronger if they were amplified.
‘Well. A physical resistance potion would probably be useful.’
As Sihyeon muttered like that, she saw a red sack jumping around, slipping out from her waistband.
Hera’s item, Kibisis.
That guy was the key to this disaster.
[Time left until the tenth plague: 17 days.]
Time passed quickly.
During this time, Cheon Yuri was able to completely overcome her negative trait, ‘Cold-Blooded (A)’.
A creature with special powers.
And Casey’s help with all sorts of information was a big help.
‘Casey Ryu joining Baek In-hwan was more helpful than I expected.’
Because there is no better place to hide than Bukhansan Mountain.
Casey Ryu had joined the group.
Meanwhile, Baek In-hwan had restored much of Bukhansan’s energy, and thanks to that, his own strength had also become stronger.
Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun were also preparing individually.
Sihyeon focused on increasing her proficiency in Kibisis.
[Time left until the tenth plague: 11 days.]
Sihyeon also tried not to lose his touch by sparring with his group from time to time.
Of course, even if Casey, Baek In-hwan, and Cheon Yu-ri all rushed in at once, they were no match for Si-hyeon.
If Seo Young-woo and Park Na-eun occasionally joined the fight, it would be worth fighting.
‘good.’
In the meantime, the group quickly grew stronger.
Sihyeon took good care of not only her subordinates but also her companions.
There was one reason.
This was because they had to become as strong as possible in order to overcome the catastrophe with minimal damage.
[Time left until the tenth plague: 3 days.]
[Item, ‘Kibisis (C)’ proficiency has reached LV.10.]
[Item, ‘Kibisis (C)’ is promoted to B grade.]
[Special effect of ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ is activated.]
Three days left until the catastrophe.
Finally, Kibisis was promoted to B-class.
“good.”
Looking at the shining Kibisis with a proper mix of red and gold.
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
[Kibisis (B)]
… …
B-grade special effects
[Magic Power +20]
Kibisis replicates the special effects of equipment items and applies them as is.
*However, you can only duplicate one equipment item of each grade from E to B.
Kibisis’s B-class special effect is .
D-class special effect related to ‘material items’.
Following the C-grade special effect related to ‘consumable items’.
It was an effect related to ‘equipment items’.
It was simply better than the D-grade special effect related to stats.
simply absorbs stats, but can absorb various effects.
However, once an item was confirmed, it could not be changed.
Sihyeon already had an item in mind.
“Store opening.”
[Welcome! Fallen Demon Lee Si-Hyeon!]
[(Advertisement) You have to survive first, right? Right? 20% off on equipment items!]
Just before the catastrophe, there was an event about survival items.
This was a marketing ploy that played on the anxiety of players who were worried that they would die in the catastrophe.
Of course, it was a good thing for Sihyeon.
Because I had to buy equipment items anyway.
‘First of all, this.’
[10,000 points paid.]
[You acquire the item, ‘Physical Resistance Potion (A)’.]
First, buy a physical resistance potion to counter the Ogre Legion Commander, Rom.
Sihyeon continued to scroll down.
[25,000 points paid.]
[You will obtain the item, ‘Skill Book: Cat’s Eye (E)x5’.]
[Warning! There are conditions required to learn the skill ‘Cat’s Eye (E)’.]
[Intelligence 10 or higher.]
[Cat’s Eyes (E)]
Your vision improves in the dark.
In darkness, all primary stats increase by 3.
E-rank skill, ‘Cat’s Eyes’.
Not only does your vision increase in the dark, but your primary stat also increases by 3.
Because the skill level is low and each one only costs 5,000 points.
Sihyeon was planning to distribute these four to Cheon Yuri, Seo Youngwoo, Park Naeun, and Baek Inhwan.
‘I have one.’
Although the Predator guys appear during the day.
Considering that Sihyeon can summon the night time zone with ‘Night’s Curtain’, it was a very cost-effective skill.
“The appetizers are finished.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“Shall we go to the main dish?”
The items Sihyeon is after are E and D grade.
This was because it was much more cost-effective to obtain equipment items of grade C or higher as MVP rewards or hidden pieces rather than buying them from the store.
‘I’ve even thought of a way to get it.’
The points that Sihyeon currently has are approximately 400,000 points.
Because the opponents that emerged from the ninth disaster were not demons, but players and orcs.
This was possible especially because the points of the Thousand-Year-Occasion and the Ten-Year-Occasion were considerable.
[66,666 points paid.]
[Since the event is in progress, only 53,332 points will be paid.]
[Obtain the item, ‘Reversed Sword (E)’.]
[Reversed Sword (E)]
#This is a strange sword that can be purchased at the store. I do not recommend using it.
Main weapon (two-handed sword)
Effect
[Attack Power -10] [Magic Power -10]
Special effects
Attack power increases by 20% of magic power.
Magic power increases by 20% of attack power.
*However, after the magic power value is applied to the attack power, the attack power value is applied to the magic power.
Penalty
The weight of all equipped gear items increases by 500%.
The first item Sihyeon acquired was an E-grade item, the Reversed Sword.
It was a unique sword in that both the blade and the handle were facing in reverse.
It was what is commonly called an ‘item that no one buys’.
In addition to the unusual point count of 66,666 points, it also reduces attack power by 10.
There was a strange penalty where the weight of all equipped equipment items would increase by an additional 5 times.
‘But my kibisis.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘You can ignore all penalties.’
Originally, I was equipped with the Thousand-Gun Sword, so I wouldn’t be able to use this sword.
Kibisis’s B-grade special effect, , could only bring about the special effects of equipment items while ignoring all other effects.
The special effect of the reversed sword is to increase attack power by 20% of magic power, and increase magic power by 20% of attack power.
Among the E-grade items.
No, I searched through all the items and couldn’t find anything with this effect.
‘It’s an E-class because the penalties are too strong and it has useless effects… but… the special effects are just as good as those of an S-class.’
[Item, ‘Kibisis (B)’ absorbs ‘Reversed Sword (E)’.]
Tsuzujeok.
Watching Kibisis sucking in the reversed sword.
Sihyeon moved her gaze to the next item.
[410,000 points paid.]
[Since the event is in progress, only 328,000 points will be paid.]
[You obtain the item, ‘Slime Helmet (D)’.]
[Slime Helmet (D)]
#A helmet that can be purchased at the store. Its characteristic is that it gives an unpleasant feeling when worn.
Armor (Hat)
Effect
[Physical Resistance +50]
[Magic Resistance -100]
Special effects
All physical damage taken is reduced by 50%.
Penalty
All magical damage taken is increased by 1000%.
The next item Sihyeon obtained was a jelly-like, squishy helmet.
It looked like it would be suffocating to wear this, but it didn’t matter.
Because Sihyeon didn’t buy this to wear.
‘Long time no see.’
The Slime Helmet was an item that could be obtained from the ‘Elite Slime’, a demonic creature that would later appear as a disaster.
Since it is a D-grade item, it is relatively easy to obtain.
It had a crazy effect that greatly increased physical resistance and reduced all physical damage by 50%.
There was a crazy penalty where magic resistance was reduced by 100 and magic damage taken was increased by 1,000%, or 11 times.
The price was so high that it cost hundreds of millions of won, so no one used it at that time.
‘I did use it occasionally in maze-like places that only had physical traps.’
Anyway, reducing physical damage by 50%, or half, was a crazy good special effect.
Especially against the Ogre Commander, Rom, who is insanely strong in physical attacks.
“This much is enough.”
I used up almost all of my points, but I don’t regret it.
Because I was able to buy some good items from the store.
‘I’ve already explained which legion commanders will appear and who they will have to deal with.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Now I can hunt those guys leisurely.’
[Time left until the tenth plague: 1 day.]
… …
[Time left until the tenth plague: 0 seconds.]
[The catastrophe begins.]
[The catastrophe is ‘Predator’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Objective: Kill all enemies.
Rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
In case of failure: No penalty.
[Time left until the end of the catastrophe: –]
The great disaster has finally arrived, the Predator.
As with all catastrophes, the main quest for this one was simple.
The only problem is that the opponent is powerful.
It is incomparable to the first catastrophe, the Green Swarm.
thud!
With cracks.
A great number of demons poured out.
Kuung!
Trolls with huge bodies stomped their feet, swung their clubs, and trampled the players.
With their huge size, they mercilessly destroyed buildings, walls, and fortresses that humans had built in 30 days.
These guys, with their excellent regenerative abilities, huge bodies, and great strength, were displaying a power stronger than any siege weapon.
“Hahahaha!”
“Take care of these guys!”
“Long time no see! You stupid humans!”
Orcs rushed through the collapsed buildings and walls, attacking human players.
The sky was filled with giant mantises, giant mantises.
Land, sky.
The humans were busy blocking the enemies flying from two directions.
“Eww!”
“Stop it! Stop it somehow!”
“Wizards!”
The human players each used their own strength to endure.
‘People.’
Sihyeon, who had roughly recalled the time before the regression, moved quickly.
‘I can’t stand it.’
Sihyeon knew.
The players in Seoul are strong, but they can’t hold out on their own.
Even if players ranked within the top 10 exert their power to kill the legion commander and his demons.
The damage would be so great that there would be no power to handle the eleventh plague.
‘A victory like this is meaningless.’
After a moment to gather my thoughts.
Sihyeon looked at the group and said.
“While the other players hold out, we only pick off the Wang Geons.”
The group nodded at Sihyeon’s words.
“let’s go.”
Ranked 6th, witch ‘Park Na-eun’.
Ranked 7th, the fallen savior ‘Seo Young-woo’.
Ranked 9th, Shadow Reaper, ‘Casey Ryu’.
Ranked 10th: War Beast ‘Baek In-hwan’.
Finally, the number 1 ranking.
Even the fallen demon ‘Lee Si-hyeon’.
“Gurrung!”
With kasal.
They were all gathered in one place, gathered at the foot of Mt. Bukhan.
‘The legion commanders.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘You must come here.’
