God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 056

46. ​​Giant Mantis Corps Commander Kruchi

If there were a ranking of 1st to 10th place among human players in Seoul.

There were 10 legion commanders in the Predator dispatched to Seoul.

They were fighting against the players, each having received orders from Oakzan to conquer Seoul.

“At this point, the plan we’ve finally established and all… … is unnecessary.”

“That’s right. Hehehe.”

“Human skulls are so delicious. I should eat that.”

“I don’t know if the other guys are doing well.”

Nowon-gu, Seoul.

Four of the ten legion commanders were gathered here.

Commander of the 1st Troll Legion, ‘Kunter’.

Commander of the 2nd Orc Legion, ‘Oquiana’.

Giant Mantis Corps Commander, ‘Crutch’.

And the Ogre Commander, ‘Rom’.

In particular, the power of the Ogre Legion Commander was great.

Even just one small ogre can wreak havoc on a fairly large area.

But Rom was the commander of the Ogre army.

“You guys go.”

“Krrrrrr… … .”

“All right.”

At Rom’s command, the two ogres next to him left their positions.

These guys are all veterans among veterans, having survived past the age of 30.

Even without Rom’s orders, he would have done well on his own.

“Let’s go soon.”

Rom kicked the building absentmindedly.

The fighting spirit of the Nowon-gu players began to disappear as the building collapsed.

“That, that monster… … .”

“How did you win that… … .”

But Rom also lost his fighting spirit.

There was a warning from the Predator ruler, Oakzan, that players in Seoul should not be taken lightly.

The level of players here was disappointingly low.

“I’m bored.”

“Don’t let your guard down too much. Lord Oakjan must have said it for a reason.”

“Hmm… … . Talking back. You’ve grown so much, Oquiana.”

“……sorry.”

Looking at the Orc Legion Commander, Oquiana, who was bowing her head from the side.

Rom picked up his own cudgel, which he had brought with him specifically.

“Let’s just finish this quickly.”

Between the six legion commanders spread out and the two ogres, their attention is drawn.

These four were planning to come together and wipe out Seoul.

“Haam… … Huh?”

The moment Rom yawns again and is about to slaughter the players.

Flash!

A black light entered his sensitive senses.

‘This?’

Although Rom quickly tried to dodge.

No matter how fast he is, he can’t be faster than lightning.

Kwajik!

Eventually, Rom’s chest, which was struck by black lightning, turned black.

Soon I began to feel the pain of my flesh burning away.

‘Even with my resilience, this is all I can do.’

Rom laughed.

“A formidable guy has arrived.”

“What are you splitting?”

Over there.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“You hideous little monster.”

“Kukuk… … Come here!”

Rom ran towards Sihyeon and roared.

“Kuaaaah!”

The ogre-like blast it spewed was on a whole other level than the five-year-old ogre I had encountered during the Eighth Calamity.

“Gurrrrrrr!”

The amount of iron absorbed by the snail over the past 30 days was no joke.

[Warning! Ogre Commander, ‘Rom’ roars.]

[Shin Soo, ‘Bulgasal’ roars.]

[The roar is canceled out.]

“good job.”

“Curr!”

So, he returned to Cheon Yu-ri, who had followed him.

“Each of you stick together as you said before.”

Cheon Yu-ri, Seo Young-woo, Park Na-eun, Baek In-hwan, Casey Ryu.

Even the shadow assassins that followed them.

As Sihyeon said, the group stood in front of their respective opponents.

“… …What are you doing?”

Rom looked at Sihyeon as if he was dumbfounded.

“You want to face me? Alone?”

“Why do you two fight against someone as simple as you?”

Srrrrung.

Lifting the Thousand-Choong Cloud Sword.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“Hahahaha! That’s right! Black lightning and sword, purple coat… … You are the rumored fallen demon, Lee Si-Hyeon.”

Rom lifted the cudgel.

“They said he was crazy, and it was true. How dare an ogre… … attack me, the commander of the legion, all by himself?”

Rom laughed heartily.

“Yes! Come on! I will catch one of the five players that Oakzen is guarding here and formally challenge him.”

“You talk a lot.”

[Item, ‘Astrape (B)’ is infused.]

[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (D)’ shows its teeth.]

[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (D)’ causes a storm.]

[Item, ‘Night’s Veil (E)’ is applied.]

Saaaaa… … .

Black lightning struck, and crimson tentacles swayed.

A huge storm began to form around them.

An ominous purple night began to cover the sky.

[Skill, ‘Cat’s Eye (E)’ is activated.]

[All abilities provided by the item ‘Night’s Veil (E)’ are increased by 3 times.]

All preparations are complete.

The Ogre Legion Commander Rom, who is the greatest threat to the Predator, has attacked Seoul.

Now all that’s left is to deal with the guy.

Saaaa.

In the purple curtain of night that suddenly appears.

Mantis Corps Commander Kruchi observed the situation with his compound eyes.

‘It’s not normal.’

The guy could instinctively tell the weak from the strong.

The player standing in front of me and not running away right now is that silver-haired woman.

‘I’m the weakest of the legion commanders, and that woman looks weak too. And besides.’

Kruchi lifted his scythe-like foreleg.

‘That elephant-like guy is annoying.’

Gasal, and the Giant Mantis Corps Commander, Kruchi, who saw Cheon Yuri, quickly flew away.

Ogre Fear is a skill that gives a significant debuff to the opponent.

There was no need to fight without this skill.

‘Let’s kill the one that cancels out the debuff first.’

At that moment, as I was running towards Gasal.

[Item, ‘Kibisis (B)’ blooms.]

A red flower bloomed on the boy’s head, and something popped out of it.

-Enemy. Discovered. Destroyed.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The ‘something’ that came down from the sky was a huge thing with a human shape.

A giant soldier holding a chainsickle, a shield, a sword, and an axe in each of his four arms.

Park Na-eun’s proud masterpiece, Alpha Disease.

“This fucking kid!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Watching the Alpha soldier strike down the hard shell of the crutch with his four arms.

Park Na-eun shouted.

“How dare you approach the first wife!”

“yes?”

Holding a yellow amulet in one hand and a dagger in the other.

Park Na-eun’s golden fleece began to shine.

“Go ahead, First Lady! You have to do it according to plan.”

“… … I don’t know what you’re talking about, but anyway… … thank you.”

The term ‘first wife’ bothered me a little.

Cheon Yuri flew away, holding Gasal in her arms.

It was exactly ‘as planned’.

Giant Mantis Corps Commander, Kruchi.

The opponent was Park Na-eun.

“… … That fucking bitch.”

Crunch.

Kruchi swung his forelegs and tore the alpha soldier off his body.

“Chirrrrrrrr!”

thud.

The creature’s large, strong forelegs were sharp enough to cut through the alpha’s body.

‘This……?’

Crunch.

Kruchi was eventually able to knock off one of Alpha’s arms.

but.

Tzuzuzu, that is.

The red-haired human woman behind him, Park Na-eun.

The golden fleece wrapped around her shoulders glowed, and her fallen arm reattached itself.

“What the hell?”

“Is it too early to be surprised by this?”

Park Na-eun’s golden fleece shines even brighter.

A bluish magical energy emanated from the runes carved into Alpha’s body.

“go.”

Thanks to Park Na-eun’s magic, Alpha Soldiers are much faster and more powerful than before.

Pushed the clutch.

“Khuuuhuk… … .”

“Hoohoohoo… … That greatsword was made from a troll corpse, the shield from a frogman corpse, and the axe from other Spartoi. How does it taste? Is it spicy? Is it spicy?”

“… … .”

“And the chain scythe is an ‘Insect Slaughter’ that the master himself gave me. Oh, and it has the fire attribute and even gives extra damage to bugs like you, so don’t worry. How should I put it? It’s like spicy dumplings with added capsicin.”

Park Na-eun giggled.

“Aren’t you bugs weak to fire anyway?”

Around Park Na-eun’s body.

The sparking amulets began to swirl.

It was just as Park Na-eun said.

There was a reason why Si-Hyeon sent Park Na-Eun alone to deal with the Corps Commander and Kruchi.

Compatibility.

Park Na-eun was good against the insect type Crucifix.

So much so that he can only deal with one legion commander.

“You talk a lot… … But can you deal with me with just words?”

Kwaaaaang!

But even the commander of the Kruchido Legion is a commander of the Legion.

It was never easy.

They don’t have the grotesque appearance of Mantis Prayers, but rather look like regular locusts that have grown in size.

Instead, it had a tough outer shell, sharp forelegs, and tenacious jaws.

Even though he is a bug, Kruchi is still a true commander.

“I am the commander of the Giant Mantis Legion! Kruchi! I have no time to be defeated by a mere human and his summoned creature!”

“Oh, didn’t you tell me?”

Park Na-eun smiled faintly.

“Alpha Bottle isn’t a summon. It’s my weapon. And that too.”

Kkwaduk.

“I absorbed the corpse of a young ogre.”

Phaaaat!

Park Na-eun’s eyes shone with blue light.

Then, surprisingly enough.

Alpha Soldiers pushed Crutchie much faster and harder than before.

In particular, the flaming chain scythes and the occasional flying amulet were a problem.

This fire attribute combo left Kruchi unable to move properly.

Even almost all of the sense organs were paralyzed or destroyed.

‘This, this theory won’t work.’

The crow flapped its wings and released pheromones.

He is a demon and a commander.

Even though the opponent came alone, he had no intention of fighting alone.

‘come!’

Chirrrr!

At Kruchi’s call, the surrounding giant mantises began to gather around him.

It was literally a spectacular sight to see all the locusts flying across the purple night sky gathered in one place.

but.

“Where did you get the trick?”

“what?”

Chirrrrrr!

Park Na-eun’s left eye began to shine purple, resembling the night sky.

Within seconds the giant mantises stopped moving.

“Chirrul?”

“Charrrr?”

The guys were wandering around here and there, seemingly confused.

When Kruchi saw that, he was so embarrassed that he even stuttered.

“This, this, this is how… … ?”

“Do you think you’re the only one who can handle bugs?”

“You, you… … No way?”

“okay.”

Shh.

“Nice to meet you. I am also a locust lord.”

Mantis Lord.

A term referring to the leader of a giant mantis that leads tens or hundreds of thousands.

There are two conditions to become that entity.

The mental power to handle tens of thousands of the same kind of spirits.

A body that can handle that mental power.

“How? Couldn’t a human be able to absorb the mind of a locust?”

“Maybe it’s a collaboration of a bit of sorcery and an S-rank item called the ‘Mantis Spirit’?”

“… … ?”

“What do you know? You ugly bug.”

From Kruchi’s perspective, he couldn’t understand what the other person was saying.

It was clear that the opponent, Park Na-eun, had become the ‘Mantis Monarch’.

As evidence, some of the Giant Mantises were now attacking their own kind or other demons.

It was because he was controlled by the mind of the new locust monarch, Park Na-eun.

“On the subject of a worthless human being… … .”

Kruchi ground his teeth.

“dare!”

Although Park Na-eun has awakened, Kruchi is an entity that has awakened long before that.

The maturity and experience that comes with time cannot be easily caught up with.

Chirrrrrrrr!

Along with the pheromones emitted by the crutches.

The surrounding giant mantises flinched.

“As a locust monarch, I am a thousand years ahead of you!”

Soon, Kruchi gave up everything and focused solely on dominating the Giant Mantises.

“Chirrrrrr!”

“Charrrr!”

Did his efforts pay off?

The Giant Mantises ignored Park Na-eun’s orders and only listened to Kruchi’s.

“Hahahaha! You stupid human! This is what a mature beauty is… … .”

Crunch.

And at that moment.

Alpha’s giant sword cut off Kruchi’s neck.

“……uh?”

“How stupid.”

As he blew the amulet again onto the guy’s severed neck.

Park Na-eun laughed.

“Why are you dealing with bugs? If you’re going to lose your mind doing that.”

[I can’t believe it! I’ve defeated the Giant Mantis Corps Commander, ‘Crutch’!]

… …

[Level up!]

[20% of the experience and points gained from defeating enemies will be given to the fallen demon ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’.]

“good.”

After picking up Kruchi’s head that had fallen to the ground.

Park Na-eun opened her mouth and smiled.

And then.

Kkudduk.

I bit into it as it was.

[The head of the Giant Mantis Legion Commander has been consumed!]

[Greatly increases your dominance over Giant Mantis!]

… … .

“Yami.”

As Sihyeon had said, he created an opening by picking a fight over pride and killed the Giant Mantis Corps Commander.

It wasn’t that difficult because the odds were so favorable.

Now she has only one task left.

With the Spartoi and Giant Mantises coming out of the Kibisis that bloomed above.

The task was to prevent the battlefield from expanding by slaughtering other demons.
