God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 009
9. Garden
Broadly.
After confirming that Kibisis had neatly placed the corpses of Frogman Maninjang and Kakori.
Sihyeon swam out of the Han River.
This was possible because the gill pool still had some time left.
“Excuse me, over there.”
“By any chance, what is your name… … .”
“Is lightning a skill?”
“What is that thing that blooms like a flower and devours items?”
A lot of players clung to Sihyeon.
But the majority of people were grateful.
Some of them coveted the items or skills that Sihyeon possessed.
“Please step aside.”
Flash!
But that was only for a moment.
As Sihyeon created a spear shape with Astraphe, all the players became quiet.
A golden spear made of lightning itself.
The players knew how powerful and dangerous it was.
“Let’s go to sleep.”
Sihyeon didn’t want to get involved with people yet.
Become stronger as soon as possible.
That was important.
Thud thud.
So the place Si-Hyeon headed to was an amusement park.
A collapsed amusement park.
There are rumors that the ghosts of dead players appear every night, so no one comes here.
“Phew… … .”
Sihyeon let out a sigh.
‘Why is it harder to shake off people than to deal with demons?’
dump.
After taking out some food from Kibisis and eating it.
Phage.
Sihyeon took out the astragalus again.
The disaster ended early, so there were still 18 hours left in the day.
‘Now, let’s raise this guy’s proficiency to the maximum and promote him to C-rank.’
In Sihyeon’s hands like that.
Astragalus began to shine again.
[Time left until the fourth plague: 15 days and 2 hours.]
A flashing astragalus.
Kibisis, which absorbs items and changes its color and shape from moment to moment.
Now, an unidentified egg that is emitting a completely grayish glow.
Sihyeon patted the guys one by one.
[The absorption of the item, ‘Kibisis (D)’ has been completed.]
At that moment, Kibisis absorbed the material item.
Thanks to absorbing the C-class magic stone obtained by clearing .
Kibisis’ proficiency level is increased to 8, and magic power is increased by an additional 10.
Because I gave the remaining magic stones and the turbid Yeouiju to the unidentified egg to swallow.
There were no more material items for Kibisis to absorb.
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ proficiency has reached LV.10.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is promoted to C grade.]
[Special effect of ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ is activated.]
AstraPega was promoted to C-class.
This was because it was used so much in the third plague.
[Astrape (C)]
… … .
Wearing effect
[Magic Power 10]
C-grade special effects
Astrapha can be transformed into any type of item.
You can grant Astraphe to other items or skills.
Astrapha can swallow other lightning bolts to increase its proficiency and power.
‘Astrape starts from C rank.’
If Kibisis’ true value starts from the slightly early D-rank.
AstraPe started at C rank.
First of all, it can transform into ‘any form of item’ and is reborn as a perfect formless lightning bolt.
It could be applied to all items, making it much more widely applicable.
‘Above all, it’s the act of swallowing another lightning bolt. That’s the real deal.’
Before regression.
Sihyeon obtained Astraphe as her 9th item.
As I got it late, I almost reached the C rank at the end.
‘Still, I’m glad I found out that it had this effect.’
Before regression.
Sihyeon studied and identified the guys in order to fight against the gods.
There was a lot of information because you could get various items due to the characteristics.
‘Now we move most efficiently and effectively.’
Phage support.
After happily looking at the Astraphe that had become even stronger and was embedded in his entire body.
Sihyeon opened the status window.
Level: 31
Class: X
Title: Goblin Slayer (S)
Armory of the Brilliant God (EX)
[Strength 12] [Consistency 12] [Agility 11] [Intelligence 11]
[Magic Power 64]
[Physical Resistance 40] [Magic Resistance 40]
[Attack speed: +100%]
[Movement speed: +100%]
(Remaining stats: 0)
Level is now 31.
It was crazy.
Especially considering that experience points don’t increase much after level 30, getting even one more level was a huge achievement.
All stats were now in double digits.
If your intelligence stat exceeds 10, you can also learn D-rank magic skills.
‘The Mansard compensation was good.’
Level 30.
It is a significant turning point for players, as it can be said that the newbies have completely left behind.
First, when you reach level 30, you can receive a job change quest and obtain a class.
Class.
Common professions include warriors, knights, magicians, and priests.
Players can choose the class they want and decide the direction they want to take.
‘Class… … .’
Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, looked at the overall situation.
… … .
[Currently owned divine items]
[Astrape (C)]: LV. 1
[Kibisis (D)]: LV. 8
(You can obtain 2 unique items of the god.)
[Unidentified egg(??)]
Current hatching rate: 40.12%
‘With the trait, you can get two unique items from the god. Now you can get the class too.’
Sihyeon muttered like that and checked her future plans.
‘But you don’t need to get it right now.’
A plan that has been in place for a long time.
All prerequisites for executing this are in place.
AstraPe became a C-class.
I obtained an egg of unknown identity, which is a hidden piece.
Reach level 30 to obtain two unique items.
Additionally, you can complete ‘class change quests’ to obtain classes.
‘Now there’s only one thing left.’
Sihyeon looked up into the sky.
‘We’re just waiting for regional integration to happen.’
To obtain the following unique items at perfect timing.
The current Songpa-gu and Gangdong-gu had to be integrated.
‘Because there’s that guy in Gangdong-gu.’
[Time left until the fourth plague: 15 hours 0 seconds.]
[The ‘Third Calamity’ has ended in all regions.]
[Now that the third disaster has ended, the areas the players are in will be unified.]
[Seoul’s ‘Songpa-gu’-‘Gwangjin-gu’-‘Gangdong-gu’ regions will be integrated.]
[You can now move between integrated areas.]
Tsuzujeok.
The hazy curtain that had surrounded Songpa-gu disappeared.
A place a little further away came into view.
As shown in the hologram window, some areas of Seoul have been integrated.
“Have you eaten everything?”
Tsk tsk!
In response to Sihyeon’s question, the unidentified egg that had been diligently eating the rides opened its middle part.
Judging from the gray smoke coming out, it seemed to be still absorbing the ‘Turbid Pearl’.
“Let’s go now.”
Sihyeon, who saw that sight, took a step forward.
The place he is headed to is Cheonho Station.
It is located on the border of Songpa-gu and Gangdong-gu.
It was a place that Sihyeon had to visit to sweep up the ‘rewards’ she was aiming for.
“Come here! Come here!”
“The food is ready!”
“The injured people will come first.”
“Come to Gangdong-gu! We will provide you with a place to rest.”
Songpa-gu, Seoul.
Relief work was in full swing here.
Paladins wearing pure white armor with crosses engraved on them maintained order among the players.
The believers were distributing food.
Priests wearing pure white robes healed people by using their ‘heal’ skills or distributing potions.
The soldiers were frantically carrying away the wounded.
Those dressed in pure white are a force and guild called ‘Dongsan’.
It started in Gangdong-gu and was a kind of religious group that helped the injured.
“This park now helps not only Gangdong-gu, but also Songpa-gu and Gwangjin-gu?”
“It’s so sturdy.”
“But that person was a bit more reliable… … .”
“that’s right.”
“That guy?”
And here in the garden.
There was a ‘rumor’ going around.
“Yeah, that guy! Lee Si-Hyeon.”
“Who is Lee Si-Hyeon?”
“Don’t you know Lee Si-Hyeon?”
“Well, he was the MVP of Songpa-gu.”
“Yeah! There’s this monster who won MVP three times in a row.”
“That’s right. He even killed that tricky programmer by himself.”
“They said the disaster ended early!”
“Yeah, I caught a program as big as the apartment building on the Han River and ended it early.”
Sigh.
The people of Dongsan heard those words.
Players from Gangdong-gu shook their heads as if it was nonsense.
“What kind of program is as big as an apartment?”
“You are exaggerating a lot.”
“The disaster will end early? I’ve never heard or seen anything like that.”
“I’m telling you, it’s true! These people… … .”
“So who is Lee Si-Hyeon?”
“There it is! The one who uses golden lightning.”
“I heard you don’t have a good personality.”
“That’s right. Anyone who gets in my way is just killed.”
“But it’s true that many demons died thanks to that person.”
Player Lee Si-Hyeon.
There were many rumors about him, some true, some exaggerated, and some false.
“You’re a high school girl?”
“No. I heard you were a part-time worker at an amusement park.”
“No. I heard she was a model.”
The existence of ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’, about whom only rumors are spread.
It was spread not only to Songpa-gu but also to Gangdong-gu and Gwangjin-gu.
“Well. I don’t know about anything else, but this one thing is certain.”
People spoke with one voice.
“He’s the MVP of another region and all. The best player right now is that guy.”
Near Cheonho Station.
A huge department store is vaguely visible.
Above it, a pure white illusion in the shape of scales rose like a halo.
And before that.
There stood a red-lipped man who looked like he was still a high school student.
“How did you get here?”
“What’s going on?”
White tee and sweatpants.
Because the attire was somewhat inappropriate for coming to such a sacred place.
The white armored soldiers guarding this place stopped their opponents for the time being.
“I came here to ask for help.”
“Oh. Is that so?”
“Then come quickly.”
But with just one word from Sihyeon.
The soldiers immediately gave way.
Dongsan, here.
There was an iron rule that anyone who came to believe in ‘Father’ would never be stopped.
‘Ohh.’
Sihyeon, who entered the department store like that, was secretly impressed.
‘At this timing, there are already facilities like this… … It looks like Eden is definitely pushing for it.’
It was spectacular.
The place where the original products were displayed was nowhere to be found.
There were angel statues and fountains that looked like something you would see in the Middle Ages.
In the fountain, sacred water, holy water, was flowing.
‘How many points is that?’
Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, walked up the white stairs that had been replaced by an escalator.
Following the soldiers’ guidance, Sihyeon was able to reach the top floor.
Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, walked up the white stairs that had been replaced by an escalator.
When I arrived at the top floor following the soldiers’ instructions.
“We stop here.”
“From now on, there will be rooms for high-ranking priests.”
“good luck.”
Sihyeon, who was pretending to be good, opened the door blocking the top floor.
Golden patterns and works of art carved into the pure white walls.
‘It’s said that worlds like Eden are full of support.’
It was entirely thanks to Eden’s support that we were able to build these facilities in the time just before the third disaster.
Their theory was that a beautiful temple would attract more believers.
Thump, thump.
After passing through a few doors like that.
The largest and most ornate golden gate appeared.
‘Over there.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘There’s a guy.’
Srrrrung.
The door opened and a handsome man with black hair that reached down to his waist appeared.
He was wearing a pure white priest’s robe, and in one hand, carrying a backpack, he was holding a Bible that looked like it came from the Middle Ages.
A cane was floating beside him as if guarding him.
“You’re here.”
He got up from his seat, where he had been praying with both eyes closed.
Still, his eyes did not open.
Because he was blind.
‘I don’t know if you can really call him blind.’
Even though his eyes were closed, the handsome man was aware of everything as if he was seeing ahead of him.
“welcome!”
The handsome man, Seo Young-woo, spread his arms and hugged Si-hyeon tightly.
After that, he held Si-Hyeon’s hands with his soft, white hands.
“You are a new believer. You will need some time to adjust, but please come quickly.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
The Return of the Emperor, Seo Young-woo.
A player who achieved MVP twice in a row in the Gangdong-gu region.
A player who has made a contract with a so-called ‘angel’.
A being called ‘the savior’.
How dare you try to meet and teach believers who came to you out of the blue.
As expected, he was a man of great talent.
‘Before and after the regression… … Nothing much has changed.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
“Brother, what is your name?”
Seo Young-woo asked, still with his eyes tightly shut.
“This is Lee Si-Hyeon.”
From this point on, it was important.
Seo Young-woo, a traitor who would later sell out not only Korea but all of humanity.
To get as much out of him as possible and ruin him in advance.
I had to put on a show of my best acting that even fooled the gods.
I was confident.
Before returning, his honed acting skills were enough to fool even the gods.
“I want to dedicate my body to this mountain.”
