Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 505

'Of course it is.'

According to myth, it’s said Zeus received lightning, Poseidon received a trident, and Hades received a transparent helm.

Their names were Astrafe, Triaena, and Kyiene, respectively.

Especially Hades—using Kyiene’s power, he hid his own form to conceal allies’ weapons or carry out assassinations, and sure enough, this time too he had yanked Su-ho’s ankle through stealth.

'But if it rains, what can you even do?'

Of course, he still had to identify the bastard from just the silhouette getting hit by rain, but it was better than not being able to see anything at all.

“Let’s finish this quick.”

Thanks to getting hit by the earthquake, his gauge had filled all the way up.

Su-ho activated additional skills one after another.

[ Rage Mode activates. ]

[ Foxfire activates. ]

And then.

[ Weaken activates. ]

[ Seal of Pain activates. ]

[ Enrage activates. ]

[ Blessing of Rage activates. ]

[ Curse of Rage activates. ]

He used the skills on Poseidon too, who would be coming in close anyway.

“Guuuuuuuh!!”

Under the effects of the rage skills, Poseidon began to rage violently.

No matter how much of a god he was, in front of skills, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, some of all this was only possible because right now Su-ho was not Su-ho, but Cronos.

At that moment, the enraged Poseidon couldn’t hold back his fury and charged at Su-ho.

“Die, you goddamn butcher!!”

[ Poseidon uses Wrath of the Sea. ]

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!

The instant Poseidon charged, an enormous amount of seawater began to surge up from the shattered ground from the earthquake.

Amazing.

To use water magic at this level where there wasn’t even any water.

It rushed in like furious snakes along with Poseidon, and Su-ho snorted a laugh and swept his sword sideways.

[ Wavebreaker activates. ]

Swaaaah!!

The moment Wavebreaker activated, Poseidon’s seawater split, like the Red Sea parting.

“Water control isn’t something only you can do.”

“You bastard!”

Kwaaaang!!

The water bombardment was neutralized, but Poseidon didn’t care and drove his trident in.

With a roar, the two forces that collided created a tremendous energy explosion.

Poseidon’s power was tremendous.

Because the destructive force had doubled under the effects of the rage skill series.

But Su-ho’s power had doubled too.

Su-ho spoke to Poseidon, who was face to face with him with their weapons between them.

“So, is that all you’ve got to show me, my son?”

“Shut your mouth!”

“I can’t do that.”

“What?”

“Watch.”

Instead of closing his mouth, Su-ho opened it.

Then an enormous amount of mana gathered into Su-ho’s mouth, and—

Hwahwahwahwahwahwah!!

A massive torrent of flame spewed from his mouth.

It was a mini breath.

“This—!”

Overwhelming firepower.

With the breath fired point-blank, Poseidon had no time to block it.

Of course, after taking the breath for about a second, he shoved Su-ho back and dodged away, but Su-ho’s breath dealt damage at a level that even a god could never ignore.

[ Poseidon uses Embrace of the Sea. ]

Poseidon immediately went into healing.

As expected of water attribute.

Self-heal was mandatory.

But Poseidon’s face, mid-heal, began to twist in a strange way.

“Wh-why is this.......”

At Poseidon’s flustered reaction, Su-ho smiled.

“What, is it not going well?”

“You—what did you do to me......!”

“What do you think? I neutralized you. Ever heard of Corruption Sorcery?”

“What?”

“As my son, there’s no way you have a higher rank than me, so stay crushed down as you are. You don’t even die anyway.”

“What are you—kuh!”

Poseidon collapsed.

It had only been barely a second, but because the Corruption Sorcery embedded in that full-body breath began to eat away at Poseidon’s entire body.

'As I thought, if you want to suppress an immortal being, this method is the best.'

The gods in Greek mythology are, by default, all immortal beings.

Naturally, that was also true for Cronos, called the bloodline of primordial giants.

That was why Titanomachy took ten years, and even after the war ended, they couldn’t execute the Titans and instead imprisoned them in Tartarus.

The reason the system set the condition as neutralizing key forces instead of killing them was because of that, too.

In that sense, Corruption Sorcery was the best choice.

Poseidon was Cronos’s son, so for now he wouldn’t have a higher rank than Cronos, and on top of that, he was also plastered with the rage skill series, so Poseidon’s resistance was currently the weakest of the weak.

Su-ho then summoned Guiyeong.

“Guiyeong, go bother Poseidon a bit.”

Pabat!

Hearing its master’s order, Guiyeong shot through the wind and rain like an arrow and pounced on Poseidon.

Kwachik!

The brave Guiyeong succeeded in biting Poseidon’s shoulder in a single move.

[ Shadow Penetration activates. ]

[ Shadow Restraint activates. ]

[ Shadow Bleeding activates. ]

The additional options of the shadow spear that popped up one after another.

Yeah, keep tormenting him like that.

Just doing that alone means you’ve earned your keep.

Only then did Su-ho shift his gaze and begin looking for Hades.

Swaaaah!

The rain pours down.

Kwaaang!! Bang!!

“Kill them!!”

“Kill them!!”

“Kuaaaah!!”

Screams and groans still filled the battlefield.

That was when it happened.

Flash!

A gigantic flash that sprayed across the entire battlefield.

Su-ho lifted his head.

In that instant—
