Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 450
“Ghuooooooooh!!”
[ Girard becomes enraged. ]
[ Girard uses ruler-grade Fear. ]
[ Dragon Blood is activated. ]
[ By the Dragon Mind effect of Dragon Blood, Fear does not apply. ]
Girard grew enraged.
The magnitude of that rage was so great that the moment he screamed, the entire boss room shook as if an earthquake had struck.
It was fine.
Anyway, the boss monster’s Fear did not apply to Su-ho, and physical sound damage could simply be dealt with by piercing his ear acupoints and knocking out his hearing.
‘It’s just me here alone, so what does it matter?’
Girard would say things now and then, but so what?
He honestly wasn’t very curious.
At best, it would just be shouting or insults belittling him.
But even Su-ho had something about Fear that he absolutely could not ignore.
[ By the effect of ruler-grade Fear, all buffs on Players are removed. ]
That was the removal of all buff effects.
Su-ho’s brow furrowed.
‘So Fear is finally starting to change, huh.’
In terms of level alone, Girard was a 2-star monster.
But on top of being a boss monster, he was also the first Big Gate monster of the second Great Upheaval, personally selected by the system.
So the performance he’d been granted was at least 3-star, not 2-star.
‘And 3-star boss monsters mix ruler-grade Fear into their attacks.’
Ruler-grade Fear was a higher-tier Fear above boss monster-grade Fear. In addition to basic debuffs like stiffness, paralysis, and terror, it possessed a nasty option that removed all buffs from Players.
So although Su-ho was immune to the mental debuff effects by virtue of the Dragon Mind effect, he still couldn’t defend against the buff removal.
Of course, it wasn’t as if he used ruler-grade Fear all the time.
Normally he would use boss monster-grade Fear, and whenever its cooldown reset, he would use it then and there.
‘If he kept firing off ruler-grade Fear nonstop, what a pain that would be.’
So this much was fine.
Buff removal could simply be solved by reapplying the buffs.
It would be a bit of a hassle, and it would cost a bit more mana, but so what.
It wasn’t like he’d ever intended to avoid this level of effort, and his mana was already beyond the realm of ordinary Players.
Thud!
Girard jumped.
At the same time, he began to cut through the darkness, dropping down toward Su-ho.
Su-ho immediately reapplied his self-buffs.
[ Blessing is activated. ]
[ Holy Enchant is activated. ]
[ Mana Perception is activated. ]
[ Endurance is activated. ]
[ Enhancement is activated. ]
[ Eye of the Blacksmith is activated. ]
[ Sword Aura is activated. ]
The visual effects of his self-buff skills raged around him.
At the same time, Su-ho sprang from his spot and got out of the way of Girard’s footprint.
Kwooooooom!!
A huge footprint was engraved where Su-ho had been standing.
He’d thought the starting point where he had been standing would be completely destroyed by Girard’s fall, but unexpectedly, it boasted sturdiness and was left with only the imprint of the footprint.
“You run away pretty well!”
[ Girard uses Dark Crushing Fist. ]
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Having landed, Girard began to swing his restored four pairs of arms in earnest.
His arms, whipping around like whips, began to crazily destroy the surroundings.
Su-ho’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
‘As expected, I’m not the target.’
You could tell at a glance with that sort of thing.
Whether he was the target or not.
Cunningly enough, Girard started by steadily destroying the floating stones around him, including the starting point he had landed on.
In addition to having already seized the visual advantage of darkness, he was now destroying the few remaining footholds to reshape the entire battlefield to his advantage.
It was fine.
Su-ho wasn’t the type to lose just because a bit of terrain disappeared.
Su-ho immediately began to use his counterattack skills.
Seriously.
The options even explicitly said that all it did was make the opponent angry.
So he’d never had a reason to use it until now.
Because he’d never had a need to deliberately make the opponent angry.
In that sense, if Su-ho had been an ordinary person instead of a regressor, he would have tilted his head when he saw Enrage’s options.
‘What meaning could there be in battle in merely making the opponent angry?’
If you really had to answer, it would be that, when agitated, you easily lose your reason, and that clouded judgment leads to mistakes?
If that was all, then for a class skill obtained at level 250, it was pretty stingy.
Which made sense, because even after he used Gi Seung-hwan and Gi Seung-ok to raise it to S-grade—
......
# You can handle the power of rage better, allowing you to drive the target into a rage state faster and keep them enraged longer.
# You can use Enrage on multiple targets.
—only that level of options had been added.
But Su-ho had not been disappointed.
Because Enrage was the foundational skill for the Rage Crusader skills he would obtain from here on out.
Su-ho used his skills in succession.
[ Blessing of Rage is activated. ]
[ Curse of Rage is activated. ]
Blessing of Rage, obtained at level 260.
Curse of Rage, obtained at level 270.
Their names were as opposite as their effects were extremely different.
Su-ho called to mind the information for the two skills.
[ Blessing of Rage ]
# Rage Crusader-exclusive skill.
# Rage makes anything stronger.
# A target blessed by Rage gains a berserk effect while the rage state continues: their attack power and damage taken each increase by 10%, and the pain they feel decreases by 10%.
[ Curse of Rage ]
