Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 277
[Shadow Shift has been activated.]
Having finished all preparations, Su-ho immediately activated Shadow Shift.
In an instant, he arrived at the center of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, where he had last embedded the Guiyeong Spear.
“Grrraaah...”
“Uuuugh...”
What greeted him wasn’t a peaceful scene—it was the grotesque groans of the Agwi creatures, jarring in contrast to the tranquil surroundings.
After observing them for a while, Su-ho summoned Bulgasari.
“Come out, Bulgasari.”
“Bulbul!”
As soon as it was summoned, Bulgasari offered its back, and Su-ho climbed on to ride.
His destination was Bongdong Station, the second subway station near the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
‘There's nothing left for me here in the Kaesong Industrial Complex.’
With that in mind, Su-ho planned to go from Bongdong Station, pass through Sonha Station, and finally reach Kaesong Special City.
That talk about preparing for China that he mentioned to Jeong Cheol-min and the Association?
He could get to that later.
To stop China’s meddling, what mattered was seizing control at the Yalu River—but there was nothing he could accomplish there alone right now anyway.
‘What’s important is ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) to handle the immediate threats first.’
And so, he continued traveling.
Before long, Bongdong Station came into view.
Behind him, like kids chasing after a fumigation truck, a horde of Agwi had gathered.
“Ugh, disgusting bastards.”
“Bulbul?”
“Not you.”
“Bul!”
Bongdong Station, unlike the others, was in complete disrepair.
Likely the result of a magic shockwave.
Which worked out in his favor.
If it had been too pristine, like a certain other station, he would've had to fight his way through—but with it this wrecked, approaching the portal was easier.
Upon spotting the gate portal at Bongdong Station, Su-ho didn’t hesitate. He threw himself straight into it.
[Sealed Iron Horse]
Same name, same conditions.
This one was relatively mild.
[You are now entering the Sealed Iron Horse.]
As the system notification popped up, the scenery around him changed.
It was the same as what he had seen back at Panmun Station.
Su-ho exhaled deeply like a marathon runner prepping for a race, his eyes set on the Iron Horse in the distant background.
Then he put in the earplugs he had prepared in advance.
The screeching kikikik sound made by the Chain Soldiers last time had been unbearable—he’d promised himself he wouldn’t come again without ear protection.
He spotted the Chain Soldiers standing idly not far off.
...
They were just like the ones from before.
No, they were exactly the same.
Which meant the strategy would also be exactly the same.
[Blessing has been activated.]
Su-ho doubled his stats with Blessing.
Then he lifted the Guiyeong Spear.
[Javelin has been activated.]
Level 183.
He invested the two Bonus Stats into Strength, then turned his eyes back to the Chain Warden.
‘Normally I’d just stick the Guiyeong Spear in it and move on to the Iron Horse...’
But the situation had changed.
With the Eye of the Master Blacksmith, he began inspecting the Chain Warden’s corpse.
A grid of dotted lines appeared, marking areas for material harvesting.
But then—
‘...That’s it?’
Only one harvesting point.
Thinking it might be a glitch, he turned the skill off and on again—but it showed the same.
‘The Molten Dragon must’ve had a freakishly high yield.’
Su-ho immediately got to work with his hammer.
[Precise Harvest has been activated.]
Clang clang clang! Clang!
[You have acquired: Fragment of the Chain Warden’s Obsession (A)]
The result was a cube of pitch-black material.
Su-ho checked its info.
