Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 381
Sutoku Tenno trembled all over.
A success.
Dokryong’s poison is like a single drop of water in a desert to Sutoku Tenno—but gather enough dew and it’s still enough to wet a man’s throat.
And a deadly poison is famously said to kill an elephant with an amount no larger than a fingernail.
So it was only natural that Sutoku Tenno, who bore the Giant attribute, toppled.
After all, Su-ho’s Dokryong now carried a venom more potent than even the Witch’s poison.
Of course, he wasn’t dead yet.
With a body that massive, he’d simply hold out longer.
Su-ho looked down at the body of Japan’s Great Demon King, collapsed on the ground and shivering.
“Let’s end this.”
Riding Cheolma, Su-ho headed for the bastard’s heart.
Then he reversed his grip on his sword and drove it in hard toward the heart.
[ Blood Armory is activated. ]
The instant he thrust, Blood Armory triggered, and the driven blade stretched and stretched.
It became a new spear that pierced Sutoku Tenno’s heart, and then the blade swelled once more from within, ravaging Sutoku Tenno’s heart on a grand scale to make sure it was finished.
And then, at last, the trembling movement of Sutoku Tenno ceased.
[ You have slain the Great Tengu Sutoku Tenno. ]
[ Level up. ]
[ All stats +1. ]
[ You have gained 1 bonus stat. ]
[ The Gate has been cleared. ]
[ MVP of the Gate clear: “An Su-ho.” ]
[ Additional EXP awarded for MVP. ]
[ 1 bonus stat awarded for MVP. ]
[ Level up. ]
[ All stats +1. ]
[ You have gained 1 bonus stat. ]
System alerts poured down.
At last, the Gate had been cleared.
But Su-ho paid little attention to the clear itself.
It was the obvious outcome.
Instead, he waited for other system alerts—and before long, the ones he’d been waiting for began to surface.
[ You have successfully slain a boss monster with the Giant attribute. ]
[ All conditions met to unlock the second authority of the Giant Bloodline. ]
[ ① Reach Level 200. ]
[ ② Slay a boss monster with the Giant attribute once. ]
[ The second authority of the Giant Bloodline is unlocked. ]
[ Colossal Lineage (S) has been opened. ]
[ You have learned Giantification (S) from the Colossal Lineage. ]
At last, he had completed all quests related to the Giant Bloodline.
Perhaps because of that—
[ All quest conditions have been met. ]
[ You have completed a Trait Quest. ]
[ New Blood grows even stronger. ]
[ A new bloodline has been added to New Blood. ]
[ Fairy Blood (F-) has been created. ]
[ Congratulations! You are the first to obtain the bloodline of the fairies. ]
[ For achieving a great feat, the system grants you 10 bonus stats. ]
[ As a reward for completing the Trait Quest, 10 bonus stats are granted. ]
Just like with the Giant Bloodline, Su-ho also received alerts that he had completed the Trait Quest in full.
Seeing the system alerts, Su-ho let out a laugh like expelling a stale breath.
‘Finally done.’
How long had it been since he received the Trait Quest, and only now it was complete.
Su-ho reviewed the alerts.
Unlike the previous Trait Quest, this time he received 10 bonus stats as the completion reward.
Thanks to that, he’d netted a total of 20 bonus stats.
But more than the 20 bonus stats, what seized Su-ho’s eye was the new bloodline.
He narrowed his eyes at the alert.
‘Fairy bloodline—Fairy Blood, huh...’
A hollow laugh slipped out.
Truth be told, he’d been curious—whether this time as well the reward would be a new bloodline.
And not only had the reward again truly been a new bloodline—but he had never imagined that bloodline would be the lineage of fairies.
Which made sense, since among these, the only thing he had intended was Vampire Blood.
‘Dragon Blood, Giant Bloodline, and now Fairy Blood... New Blood is really living up to its name.’
What a mutt of bloodlines.
Su-ho checked the information in order.
First, the Giant Bloodline.
[ Giant Bloodline ]
# A pure bloodline said to be passed down only to the primordial giants.
# Lv.1 – Giant’s Strength: Georyeok (S)
# Lv.2 – Colossal Lineage: Giantification (S)
# Lv.3 – [ ??? ]: Locked.
└ Unlock Conditions
① Reach Level 300.
② Unknown.
# Lv.4......
At the end of the details, his gaze lingered on the third-level authority.
With this, he had secured all three of Japan’s Sacred Treasures.
Su-ho checked the details of the last treasure, Yata no Kagami.
[ Yata no Kagami ]
# A sacred mirror forged of bronze.
# A treasure obtainable only by slaying a wicked great yokai.
# In Japan, it is one of the Three Sacred Treasures; when all three gather and become one, the path to Takamagahara opens.
Seeing the info, Su-ho nodded.
Takamagahara is, in Japan, the so-called heavenly realm where the gods dwell.
In other words, Yata no Kagami is a key to the divine realm.
At that moment, an exit portal surfaced before Su-ho’s eyes, but he paid it no mind.
From the outset, one of his reasons for coming here was to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and head to Takamagahara.
Accordingly, Su-ho pulled from his inventory the remaining treasures—Kusanagi no Tsurugi and Yasakani no Magatama.
All three sacred treasures, one in each hand.
No change.
Naturally.
The path to Takamagahara opens not when the Three Sacred Treasures are merely gathered, but when they “become one.”
For the first time in a while, Su-ho activated a Combination formula.
If it were up to him, he’d have liked to use the Synthesis skill, but he couldn’t.
He had temporarily erased Intermediate Synthesis to copy other skills into the Great Blood Orb.
[ Low-Grade Combination is activated. ]
With the Combination, the characteristic jar appeared.
Su-ho placed the Three Sacred Treasures into the jar.
[ You have placed Yata no Kagami into the Combination Jar. ]
[ You have placed Kusanagi no Tsurugi into the Combination Jar. ]
[ You have placed Yasakani no Magatama into the Combination Jar. ]
[ Beginning combination. ]
[ Combining...... ]
[ Huh? The jar’s condition?! ]
[ Congratulations! An extremely rare treasure has been born from a Low-Grade Combination! ]
[ You have obtained Stone Fragment of Takamagahara (S). ]
[ For achieving a great feat, the system grants you 10 bonus stats. ]
The combination result: success.
Of course it succeeded.
The correct answer was spelled out plainly in the item description to begin with—this would have worked even with the lowest Combination.
Su-ho then checked the details of the Stone Fragment of Takamagahara.
[ Stone Fragment of Takamagahara ]
