God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 007
7. Throwing
[Time left until the third plague: 5 days.]
The second disaster, 10 days after the Green Snake swept through the Earth, including Songpa-gu.
Kibisis succeeded in absorbing all the items.
[Kibisis (D)]
… … .
[Currently Absorbed Material Items]
[Doctrine (B)], [Hydra’s Golden Scales (C)], [Magic Stone (D)]… … .
(Effects omitted)
Just by absorbing the item, Kibisis’s proficiency is a whopping level 4.
It was a tremendous rise.
Additionally, Kibisis could absorb Hydra’s scales and reveal them at any time.
‘The guy also has pretty good physical resistance, so he can be used as a makeshift shield in an emergency.’
After thinking of several ways to use it.
Sihyeon opened the status window for the first time in a long time.
Level: 19
Class: X
Title: Goblin Slayer (S)
Armory of the Brilliant God (EX)
[Strength 9] [Conscientiousness 9] [Agility 8] [Intelligence 8]
[Magic Power 44]
[Physical Resistance 40] [Magic Resistance 40]
[Attack speed: +100%]
[Movement speed: +100%]
What stood out the most was the magic stat.
It was a whopping 44.
Magic-type players who focus on intelligence change jobs at level 30.
This is a level that can only be reached by learning the Mana Breathing technique, continuing to meditate, and then reaching level 40.
‘good.’
If you think about it, Astraphe’s attack power is proportional to the magic and intelligence stats that Shihyeon possesses.
It was such great news.
One thing that was a shame was that it was only level 19.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to obtain the new god’s unique items.
‘Well. It’s actually a miracle that I reached level 19.’
Players have a very hard time leveling up.
The vision before the return, where there was a good weapon called Excalibur, was also at level 9 around this time.
It was 10 times higher than before, so I was somewhat satisfied.
And now there was more to do than just obtain the god’s unique items.
‘I have 35,000 points.’
The bullet is loaded.
Now it was time to shoot for the supplies we needed.
[Paid 5,000 points.]
[You obtain the item, ‘Skill Book: Throwing Spear (E)’.]
[Skill, ‘Javelin (E)’ has been acquired.]
[Spear (E)]
After charging the spear with magic power, throw it to the designated location.
*The more you handle a skill, the more your proficiency increases.
When your proficiency increases and you reach LV.10, you will advance to the next level.
Current proficiency: LV.1
*The ‘Spear’ skill grows up to a maximum rank of D.
Throwing a spear.
Before regression, it was one of the skills that Sihyeon used the most.
There was a difference between the simple act of throwing and throwing using the skill called ‘Javelin’.
First of all, it is much more convenient to infuse magic power when using skills, you can throw it to a more precise location, and its power is also stronger.
Of course, it would have been better if I had bought it from the beginning.
‘Because after the first disaster, I had to buy the fruits of my labor.’
Of course, Sihyeon’s bullets didn’t end here.
[Use the item, ‘B-Grade Item Exchange Ticket (B)’.]
… … .
[You will obtain the item, ‘Skill Proficiency Boost Ticket (B)’.]
[Skill Proficiency Boost Ticket (B)]
Consumable items
Specify one skill you have.
Increases proficiency of the specified skill by 1,000% for 10 days.
*You cannot specify skills that you do not have proficiency in.
‘It would be nice if it could be applied to items, though.’
Unfortunately, there was no proficiency booster that could be applied to items.
Moreover, this ‘Skill Proficiency Boost Ticket’ was so expensive that Sihyeon couldn’t even dream of buying it with the points she had.
A whopping 200,000 points.
Because it was worth it.
Of course, it was worth the price.
It increased proficiency by a whopping 1,000%, and was also applied as a fruit of proficiency.
The reason why Sihyeon chose the skill proficiency booster among the many B-grade items was simple.
This was because it would be difficult to promote the spear to D-rank if not now.
‘Of all the disasters to come… … there are few that will require throwing javelins as much as this one.’
In addition, when Astraphe is promoted to B-rank, the ‘Spear’ skill can evolve by one level.
It’s still a long way off, but to satisfy the ‘conditions’ of that time.
I had to use my booster right now.
‘good.’
Then, with the remaining 30,000 points, I bought one more Fruit of Proficiency.
I saved the remaining 10,000 points for now.
Now everything is ready.
‘The third plague.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Just one javelin and you’re ready.’
The third plague.
Those guys were more powerful than goblins or green snakes.
Unfortunately, the compatibility with Sihyeon was not good.
“If you just get the position right and throw the spear well… … there’s nothing easier than these guys.”
[The third plague begins.]
[The third plague is ‘Progman’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Goal
1) Kill 10 Frogman soldiers within the time limit.
2) Kill 1 Frogman Ten-Man within the time limit.
Reward: [3,000 points] [Gill Pool (D)]
Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
If you fail: Move to the ‘Penalty Zone’.
*In the Penalty Zone, all primary stats are reduced by 50%, and Frogmen will continue to spawn until half of the players are dead.
[Time left until the end of the third disaster: 1 day 12 hours.]
“Gurrrrrrr!”
“Dog… … oyster!”
This crack was created where there was water.
And what poured out from within were demons with frog heads.
“What, what is this?”
“Why are you causing trouble here again?”
“Run away for now!”
That wasn’t all.
The ‘snake pit’ that appeared during the second plague.
A crack appeared there too, and water poured out along with the frogmen.
The sunken snake pit quickly filled with water.
The programmers dived into it.
And the players who saw that sight ran away for a moment.
Frog-man.
They walk on two legs like humans and have two arms.
It was a demon whose whole body was made of frogs.
In particular, they had webbed feet and hands, which allowed them to swim very quickly.
It was exactly like a frog’s head, allowing it to breathe freely in water or on land.
“set!”
Among the pouring Frogmen, individuals with different facial features gathered together other guys.
Facial tattoos and slightly cropped ears, which you might see on an Indian.
They were the ten leaders who formed a squad by leading ten Frogmen.
“As planned… …we each formed a squad… and killed humans.”
“Roll!”
“Roll roll!”
So, ten frogmen led by one decathlon began to emerge from the water.
“Hey, what are these?”
“Jingle.”
Players flinched in surprise at the sight of frogs the size of an adult male.
Since no one wanted to end up in the ‘penalty zone’, most players joined forces to fight against the Frogmen.
“They’re just big, nothing special.”
“Yeah. They’re just baby frogs anyway.”
“Don’t be scared!”
But the players were mistaken.
Frogman is no pushover.
Pull away.
“What, what is this?”
“Why is it so fast?”
Frogman.
These creatures had excellent jumping ability thanks to their muscular hind legs.
And based on this leaping power, the distance was quickly closed.
Since the weapon they were holding was a long-range ‘harpoon’, most players were not used to this distance.
And it means that you can’t ‘keep a distance’ from countless programmers.
Phew.
It meant being impaled on a harpoon.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“What are these kids?”
“Why is your skin so slippery!”
It wasn’t easy for players who were used to the distance to swing their swords or axes.
This was because the skin of the frogmen, which had a slippery mucus, would repel or slide off most sharp objects.
Swish!
Arrows flying from afar did not penetrate the skin well.
Phew!
The arrows that occasionally came in aiming for the eyes were shattered by something long that came out of the frogmen’s mouths.
“that…….”
“tongue?”
Because the programmers could shoot their tongues like bullets or swing them like whips.
It was being used meaningfully in combat.
But the real problem wasn’t these programmers.
“Kill… the humans… … and… the livers!”
“Gurrrrrr!”
“Clang clang clang clang!”
The ten-member group of programmers who lead the guys.
Even in terms of simple stats, they are five times more powerful than regular soldiers, and they also have much more combat experience.
Players who faced these guys had no choice but to kneel down one by one.
‘Is this the end… … .’
Players.
The players still on the ground were okay though.
Players who were near the water-filled snake pit, the Han River, or Seokchon Lake were helpless.
Even though I caught a few and gathered them together, there was no answer in sight.
Not only were they much more numerous than goblins or green snakes, but they also lived in organized groups.
Phew!
The harpoons of the programmers were piercing the players’ entire bodies.
“Humans are weak!”
“Roll!”
“We… … are… … long!”
When the programmers were intoxicated with victory.
Flash!
‘huh?’
Over there.
Something golden shot towards the Frogman Ten.
‘What is this… … .’
I can’t believe it!
Before the Frogman Ten could even recognize what it was.
A golden spear pierced the guy’s head.
That wasn’t the end of it.
The golden spear, which soon transformed into real lightning, swept away the surrounding Frogmen.
The frogmen in the water were immediately electrocuted.
“Kueeeeek!”
“Wake up!”
Phage support… … .
The golden spear that had transformed into a thread returned to someone’s hand.
“also.”
Shh.
“Nothing much.”
at that time.
The programmers saw it.
Songpa-gu.
On Jamsil Bridge, which has not yet collapsed.
Black hair blowing in the wind, pale white skin and red lips.
“That… … thing… … ?”
“What the… … what…?”
A man standing somewhat arrogantly, retrieving the golden lightning bolt.
“Nice to meet you, frogs.”
To goblins, it’s ‘evil spirit’.
A player who was called a ‘disaster’ by the green snakes.
“Move as quickly as possible. That way, your skill level will increase quickly.”
It was Lee Si-Hyeon.
“It’s comfortable.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
A dozen soldiers of the Frogman corps were killed by a single spear throw.
Below Jamsil Bridge where Sihyeon is located is the Han River.
It was literally a place filled with ‘water’.
“That’s why electrofishing is the best.”
Then, at that moment, Sihyeon threw the javelin once more.
A message was heard.

Reward: [6,000 points] [Magic Stone (C)]
Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
In case of failure: No penalty.
At the same time as receiving the main quest, .
Tzuzuzu, that is.
Cracks began to appear not far from Jamsil Bridge.
“Gurrrrrr… … .”
And out of them popped out a frogman who looked twice the size of the others.
“Good.”
Sihyeon, who saw the guy, raised the corners of her mouth.
“It’ll fit well since it’s big too.”
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is split.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
Tsk tsk tsk.
Behind Sihyeon’s back.
Dozens of fragmented astrapezoids stretched out.
The shapes of these guys are all ‘spears’.
Sihyeon picked up an astrape shaped like a spear.
And then.
[Activates skill, ‘Javelin (E)’.]
Flash!
I just threw it away.
The target was Frogman Baek In-jang.
[Hit the target.]
[Additional target killed with skill ‘Spear Throw (E)’.]
[Skill, ‘Javelin (E)’ proficiency increases.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ proficiency increases significantly.]
… … .
“Ku …
As soon as Frogman Baek In-jang came out, he was pierced by a golden spear.
That wasn’t the end of it.
Sihyeon kept throwing windows.
Within six astrapes pierced the body of Frogman Baek In-jang.
and.
Phage support!
[Amazing! You’ve defeated ‘Programman Baek In-jang’.]
[You earn 300 points.]
[Gain experience points.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
… … .
Shh.
[You obtain the main quest, .]
Seeing the cracks opening again and a larger Frogman.
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“The party is about to begin.”
Flash!
