Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 401

# Even if not of the giant race, one who bears a mighty giant’s lineage can consume their own power to become a giant for a short time.

# When Giantification is activated, the maximum size is determined by the Player’s stats, and the smaller the size is set, the longer the Giantification duration increases.

# When Giantification’s duration ends, as a rebound you will shrink in body size for the same length of time as the duration.

After reading the info, Su-ho knit his brows.

No matter how he looked, there was no line saying the rebound effect would make him drowsy.

It seemed his body had become extremely fatigued because his size suddenly grew.

‘If that’s true, the rebound risk is worse than I thought.’

He had never seen a Giantification skill exactly the same as his in his past life, but he did remember a few similar skills that enlarged the body.

So he assumed the Giantification he’d acquired this time would have that same vibe, and on the premise that it was roughly similar he ran the numbers and built the combo—if he’d slipped up, he would’ve died like a dog to Tsukuyomi.

‘I really need to be careful.’

Thinking back on it made him shiver.

If his calculations had gone awry and he hadn’t finished off Tsukuyomi right after Giantification, he would have died like a dog on the spot.

Still, he didn’t think it had been a wildly reckless try.

Boss monsters’ phases diversify the further into the latter half you go, but in the mid–Great Cataclysm period most of them still ended in the second phase.

Of course, the Corrupted Cliff Golem of the Seopjikoji Gate he cleared before could be called a third phase if you included “self-destruct,” but that was a mutual destruction brawl and hard to see as a true third phase in the genuine sense.

Su-ho narrowed his brow and closed the skill window.

Then he checked his physical condition.

After a good heavy sleep, he could use the skill again, but in the present situation that wasn’t exactly welcome news.

So he ignored it and opened the status window.

[ An Su-ho ]

He had seen cases like this a few times before as well.

‘Petty bastard.’

Still, it wasn’t completely incomprehensible.

If Tsukuyomi had done this alone, then Tsukuyomi alone would have been punished and that would be that, but this time, from the very start, it had been a collusion with Su-ho.

So he decided to shake off his regret here.

By rights, he should have defeated Tsukuyomi without any return, yet he had learned of the Small Sea’s existence and even how to obtain it; missing out on a bit of experience hardly counted as a loss.

Su-ho nodded lightly and invested all the bonus stats he had gained into Mana.

‘Six more and it’ll be Purple.’

What comes after Purple?

He didn’t know.

It was a realm no human had ever reached.

After finishing the rest of his checks, Su-ho at last stood before the one remaining Gate.
