Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 449

Right after he stepped into the portal, pitch-black darkness covered Su-ho.

Right.

It was like this back then, too.

The boss room here was a world of darkness.

So in his previous life, Suzuki had maintained a light magic spell until the fight was over.

Otherwise, you couldn’t see even an inch in front of you.

But the current Su-ho was fine.

[ By the effect of Original Vampire, you do not receive the restriction effect of darkness. ]

By the effect of Original Vampire, the darkness was inverted, and the world looked like daytime.

At the same time, Su-ho could see it.

The final place where the last boss battle would take place.

‘Nothing’s changed.’

Like Gyeonwoo and Jiknyeo, Su-ho and the boss monster were far apart from each other.

Only, unlike Gyeonwoo and Jiknyeo, who face each other, the boss monster was looking down at Su-ho from way up high.

And the countless floating stones suspended between them.

That was right.

If you wanted to properly fight the master of this place, you had to step on all those floating stones, climb up, and face the bastard directly.

‘What a damn annoying theme.’

On top of that, the boss monster here was a being Su-ho already knew well.

Because Girard, the examiner of the previous test field, was the master of this place.

Su-ho lifted his head and looked at Girard.

Sitting cross-legged like a Buddha, Girard was made of the same material as a gigantic statue, and his face was so vicious you couldn’t tell if he was some kind of goblin or an underworld asura.

And not only that—maybe he really wanted to show off how many fingers he had, but in addition to the pair of hands placed on his crossed knees, there were a whole three more pairs of hands on his back.

‘Still, as a so-called boss, he had exactly two more arms than the Gatekeeper of the Desert.’

Girard was sitting like a sleeping seated Buddha.

There was only one condition to wake him.

To light even a single handful of light in this place filled only with darkness.

The moment light fell upon this place, Girard would open his eyes and pour ceaseless attacks toward Su-ho.

Which was why Su-ho couldn’t help but laugh.

‘In my previous life I had a pretty hard time because of this damned condition. But this time the situation’s a bit different, huh?’

If you had to put it into words, you could say he’d twisted his own fate himself?

Letting out a snort of laughter, Su-ho immediately summoned Guiyeong Spear and threw it toward the distant Girard.

“Go, Guiyeong! Go pierce him!”

[ Throw is activated. ]

Swoooosh!

The thrown Guiyeong Spear flew fiercely toward Girard’s head.

With the effect of Throw, the Guiyeong Spear, which had been flying like an arrow, soon turned into a ferocious beast and charged mercilessly toward Girard’s head, which was comfortably resting with his eyes closed.

Crunch!

[ Shadow Pierce is activated. ]

[ Shadow Shackles is activated. ]

[ Shadow Bleed is activated. ]

The effects were proper.

The darkness laid down to hinder challengers, ironically, became poison and began mercilessly punching holes in Girard’s body.

“Nice, that’s it!”

The first phase of Girard had only one rule.

The moment you lit light in the boss room filled only with darkness, he would pour attacks onto wherever the light fell.

At a glance it sounded like a simple rule, but there were three reasons why it was difficult.

First, most Players weren’t used to fighting in the dark; second, Girard was way too far away; and lastly, third, Girard was stupidly big and insanely tough.

But all of this was meaningless in front of Guiyeong Spear’s special option.

In the darkness under the shadows, Guiyeong Spear pierced through everything, no matter what material it was.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Guiyeong worked hard.

Su-ho watched that scene in a relaxed posture.

Of course, compared to the gigantic Girard, the size of the wounds Guiyeong carved out was on the small side.

But even so, Su-ho stayed still.

‘I’m not some speedrun challenger who stakes his life on cutting clear times, so there’s no need to waste my strength.’

This wasn’t a game, it was reality.

So if he could conserve his strength, it was best to conserve it as much as possible.

Throwing yourself at a problem that would resolve itself even if you did nothing was nothing more than a dumb show-off move.
