Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 419

He had nothing to say.

Honestly, because this era is ruled by the System, he hadn’t even considered there might be a difference between something like “a god’s treasure” and anything else.

Su-ho narrowed his eyes.

‘No, it won’t be something that simple.’

Su-ho began to think again.

A god’s treasure?

Caliber?

That would be a diversion.

Because no matter how great Artemis is—one of the Twelve of Olympus—she is, in the end, an existence under the dominion of the System.

Then this wouldn’t be a simple problem of caliber or whatever.

‘Even if my Mana is purple in color, it’s probably because of some other kind of issue.’

What is that other issue?

Affinity? Attribute? A different Heal?

In the worst case, he would even have to consider fighting Artemis.

At that moment, an item popped into Su-ho’s head, and he immediately checked its information.

[ Fox Bead ]

# A very old spirit orb carried by the wicked spirit Hakumen Konmō Kyūbi no Kitsune.

# It contains the powerful yokai power of a fox yokai.

‘Right, if it’s the Fox Bead, maybe......!’

The use for the Fox Bead had already been decided.

That was because, so long as the consumer’s durability could support it, the moment it was swallowed it produced a powerful force, and as the first manifestation of that force, a powerful regeneration effect would dwell.

‘I’d originally planned to use it on that guy, but.......’

It couldn’t be helped.

Given the situation, he had no choice but to test it right now.

It was a bit of a waste, but he decided to think positively.

It was only early mid-phase of the Great Upheaval; he didn’t want to be fighting a god already.

‘Well, even if Artemis won’t truly descend, a Transcendent with proper grounds can exert power equal to the System.’

If it came to that, it would be horrific just to imagine.

An Artemis of that degree was someone he, as he was now, couldn’t guarantee life or death against.

Therefore, seeing is believing—Su-ho pried open the mouth of the golden deer, whose condition was worse than before, and shoved the Fox Bead straight in.

Then, for the guy who didn’t even have the strength to chew, he poured water down; the water entering its mouth forced the golden deer to swallow the Fox Bead whole.

Artemis narrowed her eyes and quietly watched that act.

“.......”

The golden deer was still.

Could it have failed?

That won’t do.

It was the instant he thought that.

System notifications.

It was a success.
