Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 418

[ The Golden-Horned Warrior Who Guards the Snow Mountain uses boss-monster-grade Fear. ]

[ Dragon Blood is activated. ]

[ Due to the Dragon Mind effect of Dragon Blood, Fear does not apply. ]

Annoyed at Su-ho’s jab, Geumbi let out a bellow.

Naturally occurring boss Fear.

Of course it didn’t take.

With a thin smile, Su-ho said,

“For a deer, you’ve got some lungs. Get over here—I’ll finish this quick.”

Maybe the taunt worked—Geumbi’s body flashed gold and, turning into a golden streak, charged Su-ho.

The instant its body lit up, Su-ho used a skill.

[ Cheongeunchu is activated. ]

And then—

[ Blood Armory is activated. ]

At the same time as the golden flash, two skills activated almost simultaneously.

Geumbi, as ever, charged Su-ho at high speed.

It was nearly its only technique, but in any case, it had realized Su-ho couldn’t catch it.

And that was Geumbi’s mistake.

Kwad deudeudeuk!

A gruesome piercing sound.

At the same time, Su-ho smiled.

No wonder—long red spear-blades had skewered it like a kebab.

With Blood Armory, Su-ho bristled his body like a sea urchin.

He’d used Cheongeunchu for this reason.

If the supporting weight was heavy, even if something slammed in at high speed, he’d be pushed back less.

In a dying voice, Geumbi trembled.

But Su-ho showed no sympathy at all, summoned the Blood Sword, and drove the blade into its body.

He stabbed it cleanly in the flank.

He transformed the inserted blade inside like a hook; now, even if it thrashed, it wouldn’t be able to get free.

After retrieving the Blood Armory, Su-ho left only the Blood Sword and, gripping it, looked down at Geumbi.

“You think I wouldn’t know how to deal with a thing like you.”

Su-ho had gone all the way to the very late end of the Great Cataclysm.

He’d met countless monsters in that time; what a brute that relied on nothing but speed could do was obvious.

Besides, wasn’t this the mid–Great Cataclysm?

No matter how that woman Hera had sharpened a hidden blade, there was such a thing as a season limit, so the danger rating of the blade she could bring out had a ceiling.

“Let’s finish this.”

The instant Su-ho summoned a new Blood Sword into his other hand and raised it—

Kwa-r-r-rumble!!

Lightning fell from the sky.

‘When Heracles tried to seize the Golden Hind, he met Artemis, its owner, and was severely scolded......!’

Right.

No wonder things felt like they were going too smoothly.

Even in the existing tale, Hera, to screw over Heracles, tried to use not the hind’s physique but its backing—Artemis.

Heracles was indeed an excellent hunter, but no matter what, he couldn’t do anything about a god’s wrath.

Still, it was a little odd.

Because the Black Heracles—who’d been Heracles in the previous life—had said that when he carried out the third labor, there was no Golden Hind, and no intervention by Artemis.

‘So this must be the real hidden trump Hera prepared......!’

If she went this far, credit where it’s due.

But that didn’t mean he intended to give up.

If you, Hera, are going to utilize the existing tale, then I can hack my way through by the same tale.

Su-ho, squeezing his parched vocal cords, shouted toward Artemis’s silhouette.

“By any chance, are you Lady Artemis!”

“Then I will heal it back myself!” 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

“I will try anyway! If I cannot heal it, then I will accept punishment!”

Su-ho’s shout.

It was sincere.

And perhaps Artemis also felt Su-ho’s sincerity?

Fwoo!

Air that had felt like it would freeze dropped to a cool level, and the surroundings calmed.

Artemis narrowed the glow in the silhouette’s eyes and smiled.
