Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 318

Thanks to your actions, the first gate of Dorima Palace, Ilmun, has been opened.

Push forward and destroy the second gate, I-mun, opening the path for all.

The name of the third quest wasn’t anything special.

“Open I-mun.”

That was the name of the third quest.

And just like the report, nothing had changed.

After confirming the quest, Su-ho looked at the growing number of royal guards and knights gathering in front of him.

There were many.

But not enough to be threatening.

Even the strongest among them were only in the 210s.

No matter how many ants gather, they’re still ants.

But ants sticking to you is annoying all the same.

Guess I’ll use that for the first time in a while.

Su-ho made his decision and lightly kicked off the ground with his right foot.

From the floor, a blood-red aura surged upward, enveloping his body in a dark crimson suit.

[Blood Weapon has been activated.]

The crimson suit covering his body was Blood Weapon.

Blood Weapon took whatever form the user desired. As long as one had enough mana, it could regenerate and repair endlessly. And if the caster’s mana was high enough, it could block any attack.

Covered in a Blood Suit from head to toe, Su-ho reached out and grasped a blood sword in his hand.

The soldiers of Dorima, watching this strange transformation, instinctively tensed up. They had never seen anything like it.

Su-ho smiled.

He could sense a strong black aura coming from them.

Laughing at their fear, Su-ho used his Sound Transmission skill.

“None of you gonna come at me?”

S-rank Sound Transmission skill.

It allowed the caster to project their voice into the minds of all beings within a certain range.

Maybe that was why.

Having never experienced telepathy or Sound Transmission before, they reacted as if hearing a demon’s whisper, panicking in every direction.

“K-kill him!!”

“Aaaaahhh!!”

Their shouting was to drown out their fear.

They charged at Su-ho, yelling, and fired arrows without hesitation.

Su-ho admired their courage in attacking despite fear—so he decided to show no mercy.

Su-ho’s sword swung fast.

[Enhancement has been applied.]

[The power of Cloud Severance has been further amplified.]

Slash!

A blood-red arc sliced through the radiant light.

Su-ho’s sword began butchering them all.

*

“M-monster...”

“H-he’s not human...”

Crunch.

He severed the breath of a trembling soldier whose name didn’t matter.

Su-ho let out a long sigh and looked up, pulling back the helmet portion of his Blood Suit.

His slightly damp hair was revealed, and he brushed it back with his now-bare right hand after deactivating the glove.

“Still, for 200-level mobs, they held out pretty well.”

Some were cut down in a single swing of his enhanced Cloud Severance, but others managed to block or endure a few attacks using shields or magic.

Still, that was fine.

If one strike didn’t kill them, he’d use two. If two didn’t work, then three.

It just meant more movement than expected.

Su-ho stared at the fallen soldiers of Ilmun for a moment.

Then a thought struck him.

Maybe... now it might work?

Thinking that, Su-ho pulled a necklace from his inventory and checked its info.

[Sealed Necklace of the Great Blacksmith]
