Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 290

Su-ho swung with all his strength.

Even Steel ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Severance, empowered by Enhancement, had been used.

It was the wind-up.

Steel Severance was based on raw strength—meaning it had virtually no preparation time.

It could be unleashed as quickly as an ordinary slash.

But Heart Slash required a bit of focus.

— My turn.

Hex activated a skill named Moonless Blade.

Then immediately swung.
