Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 472

After a stretch of silence, Su-ho spoke.

“You’re really...”

- Why?

“...Never mind. Forget it.”

In his heart, Su-ho vowed he was absolutely going to give Grid the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins runes later. Like, much later.

But Grid had an uncanny sense for detecting both being cursed at and ominous vibes, so the moment he felt something off, he hurriedly added—

- W-why, why? What is it? What’s the problem?

“It’s nothing. Seriously.”

- Don’t tell me it’s because they’ll reject you? Why would that matter? The fairy race has a huge superiority complex—if you weren’t a corruption fairy, they would’ve hated you from the start anyway!

“Yeah. Got it.”

- Hey, I’m serious...! And if it were me, I would’ve picked the Seal of Corruption no matter what. I’m not joking.

“I know. I get why now. So you can stop talking.”

- Then... there really isn’t any problem, right?

“Yeah. Probably.”

- What do you mean, probably?!

Hmph.

You’ll probably never understand for the rest of your life.

Shaking his head, Su-ho opened his status window and invested all the bonus stats he’d just obtained into True Mana.

Then he stepped out of the portal.

“Kyah-ooo!”

Outside the portal.

The Plague Fairy Gate had been cleared.

But despite the huge rewards, the gate itself wasn’t an End Gate, so Madagascar Island was still overflowing with monsters.

And that was despite the fact that he’d definitely wiped the surrounding area clean before entering the gate.

“Ugh. Annoying bastard.”

Watching a corrupted Dolvirak charge at him, Su-ho summoned Hercules’s Club and layered Blood Armor over it.

He planned to fling a slash.

But just as he was about to swing, something he’d never seen before stood out to Su-ho on the corrupted Dolvirak.

“Hm?”

He hadn’t imagined it.

It was a faint cluster of light with a slightly greenish hue.

More precisely, it flickered inside the corrupted Dolvirak’s body like a soul—and it was something he hadn’t seen at all until he arrived on Madagascar Island and entered the fairy gate.

But now, as if something had changed, he could see it clearly.

‘What is that?’

Su-ho withdrew the slash he was about to fire and canceled Blood Armor. Then he lightly smacked the charging Dolvirak on the head.

Kwaang!

He’d hit it lightly, but the Shock Wave option attached to Hercules’s Club triggered and a powerful shockwave erupted.

It didn’t die.

Because he’d hit it lightly.

Instead, the shockwave that followed twisted its brain into a mess and knocked it out with a concussion.

“Hm.”

Su-ho examined the unconscious Dolvirak closely.

This thing that looked like a headbutting dinosaur had corrosion all over its body—its flesh rotted, its bones were exposed, and it drooled something that was either spit or poison.

In short, it was no different from a zombie... No, it was obviously a zombie no matter who looked at it.

And yet, he was suddenly seeing light inside this zombie Dolvirak.

Was it only this one?

He looked around.

“Kiaaaaa!”

“Kuoooooo!”

Other Dolviraks that had noticed Su-ho late came charging at him.

Not just Dolviraks. Other monsters too, including elephant birds, came shoving their jaws forward, drooling something that was either poison or spit, looking no different from zombies.

And inside their bodies, the same greenish cluster of light flickered like a soul.

‘What is this?’

I’m really curious.

Su-ho layered Blood Armor over Hercules’s Club again.

Then he swung it hard, as if drawing a big circle.

[ Sky Severing activates. ]

Seogak— Tteooooooong!!

The Sky Severing that swept out in every direction carved through the surroundings as if devouring the whole area, and then the club’s option triggered Shock Wave on top of it.

The result was a massacre.

Countless kill notifications popped up in front of Su-ho, but Su-ho’s attention wasn’t on the kills—it was on the monsters themselves.

“Hm.”

The slain monsters slowly vanished.

Nothing remained.

Then what were those things he’d seen inside them?

Su-ho shifted his gaze back to the unconscious Dolvirak.

“......”

The Dolvirak said nothing.
