Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 319

"...!"

The moment Weaken activated, the King of Knights’ eyes widened.

Even though he was just an NPC-like entity, the King of Knights could tell.

His strength had been drastically reduced.

He narrowed his eyes.

"What is this..."

“Don’t space out—focus.”

“What?”

Boom!

The moment Su-ho said it, he launched forward with explosive speed.

The King of Knights swiftly drew his sword.

A quickdraw.

As expected of the kingdom’s finest sword, he drew faster than the others.

However—

Clang!!

In terms of physicality, Su-ho was no slouch either.

He struck the blade in reverse as it was being drawn.

The moment their blades collided, the King of Knights’ sword trembled violently.

“How is he this strong...?!”

A flash of confusion crossed his face.

His opponent was far stronger than expected.

Perhaps that’s why—

He decided to go all out from the beginning.

[Dorima's King of Knights uses Aura Blade.]

In that moment—

Slice!

[Heart Slash has been activated.]

[Enhancement has been applied.]

[The power of Heart Slash has been amplified.]

Just as his sword was about to be wrapped in Aura Blade, a searing heat flared inside his armor.

He felt pain on his back.

Startled, he glanced behind him—only to see a figure identical to the red-clad swordsman in front of him.

It was Su-ho.

The man stammered in shock.

“H-how...?!”

At that moment—

[Steel Severance has been activated.]

Strike first, win first.

A time-honored and effective strategy.

Su-ho wiped the blood off his blade and opened the final palace gate: Omun.

There was no need to destroy it—Omun opened easily.

Because beyond it, the King of Dorima was waiting.

Just as Su-ho opened the door—

[Quest objective fulfilled.]

[Quest completed.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All stats increased by 1.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

Another level up.

Su-ho dismissed the notifications and looked past Omun—toward the king’s chamber.

It resembled a temple in appearance.

When he entered, the king and other members of the royal family were gathered together.

The man standing at the front was undoubtedly the King of Dorima.

His name card hovered above his head.
