Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 243
Su-ho, as he had done before, passed through Dorasan Station on his way to Gaeseong.
Naturally, he had the assistance of Bulgasari, and the area around Dorasan Station was still teeming with Orcs.
“Flame!”
But no Orc was able to capture Bulgasari.
If any of them even tried to impede his movement, Bulgasari would simply headbutt them away before Su-ho even had to swing his sword.
After running alongside the iron bridge for some time, Su-ho finally entered the border checkpoint.
“Finally, Gaeseong.”
Beyond the checkpoint, Panmun Station was visible.
But what caught Su-ho’s attention before the checkpoint or Panmun Station was the field monsters that had taken over the area from the very entrance.
The field monsters in Gaeseong weren’t Orcs.
Zombies. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
At first glance, they looked like them.
However, their true identity was ‘Agu,’ a type of eternally starving ghost.
“Grrrrr...”
Their bodies were emaciated.
But despite their gaunt bodies, their bloated bellies stood out.
Their long arms and legs, along with their sunken eyes, made them resemble the ghosts of starving Agu.
Su-ho checked their name cards.
Earth-colored Agu.
Usually, the further away a field monster was from the gate, the weaker it was.
This was because it had lost the survival competition.
But Agu were a bit different.
Agu were no ordinary monsters.
If anything, they were closer to undead.
And undead-type field monsters were not affected by the ecosystem's survival laws.
“Their theme is that they’re starving ghosts, after all.”
All that remained for them was a singular obsession: to eat.
However, that didn’t mean undead-type field monsters like Agu were completely unaffected.
They were still affected by magic.
Thus, the higher the gate level, the stronger the Agu that spawned.
And that’s why the term “earth-colored” was attached to them.
Agu weren’t a single type but several types.
Earth-colored Agu was the weakest among them.
That was certain.
Su-ho had seen it in the materials for the North Korean campaign.
“Blood-colored Agu and Black-colored Agu were the strongest.”
In his past life, Su-ho had also participated in the North Korean campaign.
But instead of being on the frontlines, he took care of the people in the rear.
The North Korean campaign in his previous life wasn’t led by the government; it was guild alliances that took the lead.
“I wasn’t strong enough to take the frontlines either.”
Most importantly, the higher-ups didn’t like it.
There were already directives not to sacrifice valuable association personnel in the North Korean campaign.
But this time would be different.
As Su-ho neared Panmun Station, the colors of the Agu began to shift.
The yellow-colored Agu, a bit brighter than the Earth-colored Agu.
Though there wasn’t a huge difference in color, their levels were slightly higher.
Su-ho called Bulgasari back and began swinging his sword in earnest.
Some places could be bypassed, but Panmun Station had to be cleared.
The subway stations in North Korea would later become very important strategic points.
As he cleaved through the yellow-colored Agu, he finally reached the spot where the gate portal was located.
“Nothing else, right?”
He looked around and saw that most of the yellow-colored Agu had already been dealt with.
Of course, he hadn’t killed them all, but the reinforcements would clean up the rest.
Su-ho headed straight for the gate portal.
[ Sealed Iron Horse ]
A boss monster, so it was both large and powerful.
And unlike the normal Obsessive Chain Disease monsters, this one had thick chains in each hand, strong enough to bind even a dragon.
Its body design was the same, just larger, with the same rusted armor and executioner’s hood.
The monster, enraged, swung its arms toward Su-ho.
Whooosh!
Two giant iron chains, like serpents, began to slam toward Su-ho.
