Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 414

Then Lust howled like a beast and burst a red aura, and with ultra-high-speed regeneration, the flesh sealed itself up, fusing shut together with the blood sword driven in.

But Su-ho still did not let go of his sword.

“Struggle harder.”

“Shh. Let’s just finish this.”

Su-ho swung his sword as-is and used a skill.

[ Yeolhwageom is activated. ]

Swinging with the blade still embedded, he used Yeolhwageom; along the line of the hewn part, a blade-strike belched forth, and the belched strike shredded everything in its own wake.

It didn’t merely rip and tear.

The blood sword had been lodged in the Rune of Lust from before, and swinging in that state sliced the whole thing; the rune’s flank was grievously damaged.

On top of that, the high heat of Yeolhwageom seared the flesh crisp, making even the Authority of Regeneration work sluggishly.

Su-ho swung a few more times and mashed Fernando’s body to pulp.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Fortunately, the Rune of Lust was still thumping alone on the Subspace House floor, in the exact tossed-aside state.

“Grid.”

At Su-ho’s call, Grid appeared at once.

Then, like a jackal eyeing a freshly grilled steak, he prowled around the Rune of Lust with an endlessly covetous look.

Su-ho picked it up and said,

“Name what you want. You want it destroyed, right?”

There exists only one Rune of a Great Demon in this world.

In other words, a Great Demon whose rune is destroyed loses forever the chance to exercise their will in this world.

When that happens, they can no longer explosively increase their power and will naturally be weeded out of the Demon King race.

Grid nodded.

Saying so, Grid rubbed his hands together like a fly.

At that, Su-ho grinned and said,

“Good. Then let’s properly start the transaction. First, set the table, will you?”

At the request for table setting, Grid snapped his fingers.

A tea table set with tea was summoned, and Su-ho sat down at ease.

Lifting the teapot he’d summoned, Grid poured into Su-ho’s cup and said,

“I killed a Great Demon’s contractor, that’s once; then I didn’t discard the rune but collected it, that’s twice; and lastly, as a condition of handing this rune over to you, that’s thrice. I think I’m being quite conscientious in asking the price of the goods, don’t you?”

It wasn’t wrong.

If he had killed Lust’s contractor but not collected the rune, Lust would have, by virtue of the surviving rune, installed a new contractor.

Grid sighed.

When Grid accepted without fuss, Su-ho smiled and said,

“First is about information. You did say you’d provide any item or any information as long as the price is paid, didn’t you?”

“Then here’s my first demand. I want to make the Sun Fragment absorbed into my body blossom. But they say it’s impossible because the Moon Fragment is already latent in my body. I don’t think so. So find me a way—on my behalf.”
