God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 072
57. Argos (1)
[God of Destruction, ‘Shiva’.]
[Goddess of the home, ‘Hera’.]
[God of Thunder, ‘Thor’.]
[God of War, ‘Ares’.]
[Angel of Death, ‘Sariel’.]
… … .
Were you impressed by the banquet?
A contract offer came from Hera.
‘Well. I guess I just tried it just in case. But still… … I have no intention of signing a contract. But more importantly,’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘This guy Sariel… … .’
Sariel, the angel of death.
One of the seven archangels of Eden.
Strictly speaking, he had a similar status to Ramiel, who hated Sihyeon like crazy.
‘This guy is clearly an angel from Eden, so why did he make a contract with me?’
It was just a simple contract offer.
Sihyeon was able to ‘guess’ several facts.
‘Did the conflict in Eden start a little early?’
Later, Eden was divided into those who followed Michael and those who did not.
This was because each person had a different definition.
Among them, Sariel is a representative angel among the forces opposing Michael.
That guy wants to make a contract with someone who will lead to corruption.
From Sihyeon’s point of view, it was a good sign.
‘But that doesn’t mean we can just sign the contract.’
Let us hand over the covenant of the gods with the good news that Eden is divided.
After that, countless messages rang out.
[MVP: Player Lee Si-Hyeon.]
[Receive 110,000 points as MVP reward.]
[Personal rewards are given.]
[The fallen demon, Lee Si-Hyeon, has defeated a total of … … Ents.]
[Fallen Demon Lee Si-Hyeon defeated the hidden boss, Eloah.]
… … .
[You obtain the item, ‘Essence of Life (A)’.]
[Essence of Life (A)]
#Eleventh Disaster MVP Reward. It is the essence of Ents’ vitality.
Material item.
Effect
[Natural Affinity +50]
If you give it to a plant that doesn’t have an ego, it can give it an ego.
Because the only thing Sihyeon did in this disaster was defeat the hidden boss, Eloah.
The compensation wasn’t as good as I expected.
‘Well. Actually, even A-grade items are a bit tricky.’
It’s because I’ve been receiving such good rewards, but in fact, the A-grade material items were also incredibly good rewards.
‘The essence of life isn’t bad either.’
No matter how you look at it, it was an item that would be good to apply to the world tree that Sihyeon was growing.
Of course, since it is a material item, there is a way to absorb it into Kibisis.
Rather, it seemed better to use it as nutrients for the world tree.
‘The leaves of the World Tree and the essence of life. If you give them the Ents’ magic stone that contained their life force… … the growth rate of the World Tree will increase significantly.’
Shh.
‘But I don’t think I need to give it all.’
The leaves of the World Tree had their own uses.
[The twelfth plague then begins.]
[The twelfth plague is ‘? ??’.]
[Time left until the twelfth plague: 15 days.]
Seoul Seocho-gu, Seoul Arts Center.
Behind it is Mt. Umyeon.
Here, the giant mantises that Park Na-eun had collected were spreading their wings and flying around.
“… … .”
And a high elf was staring at it intently.
Seo Young-woo, a fallen high elf who exudes magic from his entire body.
He continued to look at the scenery as if he never got tired of it.
“Do you like the gift?”
‘… … This voice?’
Swish.
With the darkness, seeing the opponent emerge from his own shadow.
Seo Young-woo spread his arms wide and laughed heartily.
“Brother Sihyeon!”
“Ahh… … I told you not to cling.”
“It feels so good! New body! Thank you so much!”
[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (D)’ causes a storm.]
“Eww! It’s against the rules to blow it away with the Thousand-Handed Sword!”
He just blasted away Seo Young-woo, who was trying to embrace him.
Sihyeon chuckled.
‘I never thought I’d end up with this guy like this, like a brother and sister.’
The situation is very different from before the regression.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Why is that guy, who was so expensive and dignified before the regression, running towards me like a puppy? … I didn’t ruin this guy, did I?’
Boom!
Approaching Seo Young-woo, who is stuck somewhere in Umyeon Mountain.
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Well, what if it breaks? It’s better than swallowing up the Korean Peninsula.’
[Item, ‘Night’s Veil (D)’ passes through the darkness.]
Swish.
Sihyeon’s body seeped into the darkness.
It reappeared right next to Seo Young-woo, in a place shaded by trees.
“You’re throwing away your little brother, whom you haven’t seen in a long time, like this… … .”
“Special training, huh?”
“Your love is extreme.”
Sihyeon snickered when she heard that.
“By the way, you’ve become handsome.”
“That’s right, because my original face has a high elf appearance mixed in.”
Seo Young-woo laughed.
“It’s definitely better than when I saw you in the mirror before the disaster. By the way, I didn’t know you would look like this.”
“Why my face?”
“I thought he looked like a manly man based on his personality and voice, but what is this… … .”
Seo Young-woo chuckled.
“Aren’t you a parasite brother?”
“What is a parasite brother?”
thud.
“Ah! It hurts!”
“Don’t mess with me, Inma.”
Even after getting hit hard by Sihyeon.
Seo Young-woo laughed heartily.
‘Really… … Thank you so much, brother.’
Thanks to Sihyeon, he was able to see the world like this again.
Is that all?
He also saved his older sister, Seo Ji-hye, from Ramiel.
He protected countless players who followed him.
It also made me stronger.
Thanks to obtaining the body of a high elf, his remaining lifespan is only about 500 years.
All stats and skills were strengthened as a bonus.
‘guy…….’
Looking at Seo Young-woo smiling brightly.
Sihyeon was also overcome by an unknown emotion.
‘Yes. It’s better to live like this with me than to live as a slave to God like before the regression.’
After those feelings of gratitude and pride came and went.
Sihyeon handed something to Seoyoungwoo.
“Youngwoo. It’s a gift.”
“Brother, your very existence is a gift to me… … .”
“Stop talking nonsense and just accept it.”
[Transfer the item, ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ to the fallen savior, ‘Seo Young-woo’.]
A cool design with a yellow glow.
Seo Young-woo’s eyes widened when he saw the outstanding performance contained within.
“This, this is… … ? Can I really receive such a good item?”
“It’s not free, man. I give it to you because it’s useful.”
“If it’s useful… … .”
“okay.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“I guess we should work together on this.”
“What’s going on?”
“okay.”
Sihyeon said, pointing to the red sack on her waist, Kibisis.
“We need to complete some unique quests together.”
‘The twelfth plague can be finished easily on a historical scale. It can be a perfect meal.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
But it is also good to be prepared enough to eat it raw.
It is only possible if the conditions are right.
To have a ‘perfect’ meal, there was something I had to do first.
‘First of all, the priority is to promote Kibisis to Class A.’
God’s unique items display powers of a different level starting from Grade A.
Is that why?
In order to be promoted to A, S, or SS rank, you had to clear each character’s unique quest.
Seo Young-woo currently has the body of a high elf.
The power of the nightmare he cast was much stronger than before.
Moreover, thanks to the Draupnir replica that Shihyeon gave him, he can even use rune magic.
If there is a nightmare about Seo Young-woo becoming this strong.
You can also do Kibisis’ unique quests raw.
‘Finish the Kibisis unique quest and raise it to A-grade, then use that A-grade Kibisis to finish the twelfth disaster.’
The chain effect of raw food.
The virtuous cycle of eating raw food.
Paradise for raw fish.
This was the most beautiful thing in the midst of a disaster.
[Item, ‘Kibisis (B)’ proficiency is full.]
[You can no longer increase your skill level.]
[You must clear the unique quest to be promoted to A rank.]
[Would you like to proceed with the unique quest?]
“Are you ready?”
“sure.”
“Let’s go then.”
Si-hyeon nodded and placed a hand on Seo-young-woo’s shoulder.
Additional messages rang out.
[Obtain the unique quest, .]
Objective: Rescue Io.
Reward: Kibisis promotion.
If you fail: You can try again after 100 days.
[Move to an unknown location.]
Paat.
The place Sihyeon eventually moved to was a huge canyon.
[You cannot leave the area until you clear all the unique quests.]
[You will not die while completing the unique quest.]
[If you fail to clear a unique quest, you cannot retry for 100 days.]
The unique quests given by the gods’ items were related to the myths held by the god’s ‘owner’.
They create illusions and put the player through ‘tests’.
There was a hidden trick here.
‘When progressing through a unique quest, players who are physically in contact with me will move together.’
Thanks to that, Si-Hyeon was now inside the illusion of Ki-Bissis together with Seo-Young-Woo.
“Brother, what is that…?”
“Argus.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“A monster among the most powerful monsters.”
In the middle of that valley there was a giant of enormous size, Argos.
The guy had eyes all over his body.
Most of those 100 eyes were watching the white cow right next to them.
The identity of that cow is ‘Io’.
He was the person Si-Hyeon had to save.
Oh my!
“Be quiet, woman.”
The giant growled at the white cow that was crying sadly.
“If you don’t want to die, shut up.”
‘Argos… … .’
Argus.
A giant with a hundred eyes who follows Hera.
Although he possessed great strength and brute force, he achieved many feats, such as defeating Echidna, one of Medusa’s older sisters.
The guy had one big flaw.
Sleep.
The guy seemed oddly susceptible to sleep disturbances.
“Youngwoo. Try putting that to sleep.”
“yes.”
Black fog gathered in Seo Young-woo’s two hands.
[Activates skill, ‘Black Fog (S)’.]
[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ begins to shine.]
[Activate Odin’s 8th rune magic, ‘Rune Magic: Rune of Calmness (??)’.]
Odin’s 8th rune of magic, ‘Rune of Truth’.
With rune magic that instantly turns any ferocious warrior or beast into a docile lamb.
If you use just a little bit of magic power, it will simply calm your mind and body.
If used in much larger quantities, it had the ability to make the body feel drowsy and even put the user to sleep.
That is, Odin’s 8th rune magic is now creating a synergy effect with Seo Young-woo’s Black Fog.
I was able to make my opponent fall into a very sweet sleep.
Tzuzuzu, that is.
The black fog that Seo Young-woo had created slowly and widely began to cover the entire canyon.
The way the fog spread was unusual.
From a very far distance, it looked exactly like the 8th rune of Odin.
And in the middle of them all was Argus, a giant with a hundred eyes.
“This?”
Argos, who saw the black fog late, jumped up and looked around.
Flash.
The hundred eyes attached to various parts of the guy’s body opened at once and looked around.
But because Sihyeon and Seoyoungwoo were hiding so well, Argos could never find them.
‘This is a big deal.’
Already about ten of his eyes were closed.
Although it was not known what effect this black fog had, one thing was certain.
This fog will put you to sleep and close all your eyes.
Kwaaaaang!
Soon Argos began to search around the canyon.
But I couldn’t go far.
If he did that, the white cow he was guarding, Io, might run away.
‘Go ahead and struggle as much as you can.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘Because you won’t be able to do anything.’
