Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 474

Dudududududu—

“Huh?”

“Krng?”

Madagascar, the Island of Death.

The corrupted monsters that had been living on the island in a half-broken stupor cocked their heads at the sudden tremor.

But it wasn’t an earthquake.

“Tsurahhh!”

The true identity of the “earthquake” was the ground-shaking march created by the lizardman legion.

At the very front, Grand General Il-yong—now a duke—rode a purified Dolvirak, bravely taking point, with Du-yong and Sam-yong holding the left and right. Behind them, ten thousand lizardman soldiers following the three generals roared while gripping their new blood weapons.

“Tsurahhh!!”

“Tsurararahhh!”

“Tsuraraahhhak!!”

Their momentum was truly overwhelming.

If it had been any other army, it would’ve chosen to flee on the spot.

But unfortunately, the monsters on Madagascar, the Island of Death, did not know fear.

Their bodies and minds had been corrupted by the plague fairies, leaving them as half-zombies that charged like lunatics the moment they sensed life.

“Kraaaaaa!!”

“Krooooooo!!”

“Kaaaaaak!!”

So the corrupted monster horde of Madagascar, too, lunged at the lizardman legion without a moment of hesitation.

Even though their numbers were ridiculously small.

Kwaaaang!!

“Kiaaaaa!!”

“Tsurahhh!!”

“Kill them! Surround them and stab from all sides!!”

“Tsurahhh!!”

Monster and monster collided.

There was some difference in level.

But in the end, the winner was Su-ho’s lizardman legion.

Watching the scene from afar atop Cheolma, Su-ho grinned.

‘Yeah. Numbers don’t lie.’

Of course, if the single opponent had an utterly absurd level of power, it’d be a different story—but here, “a small number” still meant nothing but corrupted monsters.

On top of that, Su-ho’s lizardman legion could use weapon techniques, and their weapons were coated with sorcery at a level far higher than the corruption sorcery that had existed before.

And Su-ho’s lizardman legion knew tactics.

Would a legion like that lose to mere corrupted monsters?

......

They even converted them into citizens of Su-ho Land on their own after winning the fights.

They really were excellent talent.

‘They say a smart boss succeeds by giving trustworthy employees enough rank and authority.’

Il-yong was probably the textbook example.

Still, even they had a hurdle.

“Graaaaaa!!”

“Geoooooo!!”

It was the corrupted ents—the only large monsters on Madagascar Island.

The ents were massive, but more than that, their outer plates were simply too hard, and there were quite a few of them. For lizardmen to handle them—even with numbers several times greater—was a bit difficult.

‘Sure, with enough numbers, they can kill them if they take their time...’

The problem was how many lizardmen would be sacrificed in the process.

Su-ho’s monster legion would not grow unless they newly recruited more.

Field monsters were, in the first place, beings spewed out when abandoned gates ran wild.

‘Looks like I have to step in.’

Watching, Su-ho drew his sword.

But just as he was about to swing, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

‘Wait a second...’

To turn a corrupted monster into a normal monster, did you really need to beat it down to the brink of death?

To make it submit and convert it into a citizen of Su-ho Land, you shaved down its HP a bit—sure. But to remove the corrupted state, you didn’t actually need to do that, did you?

‘With the first Dolvirak, I’d mashed it up for observation and experimentation.’

Reaching that conclusion, Su-ho lowered his sword.

Then he activated a skill.

[ Stormwind Sorcery activates. ]

And then—

[ Corruption Sorcery activates. ]

As Stormwind Sorcery activated, rain began falling from the sky with a kururung! sound.

And as Corruption Sorcery activated right after, a huge chunk of True Mana tore out of Su-ho’s body, shot up into the sky, and then changed the color of the falling raindrops into something close to khaki.

‘Will it work?’

Thinking that, he quietly watched the raindrops falling.

Then the moment the falling raindrops touched the corrupted ents—

[ Corrupted Fairy Power has been detected. ]

[ Corrupted Fairy Power reacts to you. ]

The sorcery placed on the # Nоvеlight # ents began reacting to Su-ho’s Fairy Power. And at the same time—

Shuaaaa!

All of the plague fairies’ sorcery embedded in the corrupted ents’ bodies began transferring to Su-ho.

The transfer process looked almost like pollen drifting over, but Su-ho—who was receiving it—didn’t feel anything special.

Because this was closer to “devouring” than anything else.

So he just laughed.

“Wow. It works.”

If all you had to do was imagine it and it happened—sorcery really was something else.

And sorcery really was incredible.

The only issue was that sorcery with that kind of power was almost impossible to obtain through normal means.
