Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 510

Su-ho narrowed his eyes at their name cards.

‘Fairy Kingdom? Where is Fairy Kingdom? Don’t tell me it’s some concept like a Fairy Realm where fairies gather? Like an Elemental Realm?’

That was the right answer.

This place was the Fairy Realm where all fairies gathered, and the fairies called it the Fairy Kingdom, and it was also the place Su-ho had been summoned to for the bloodline quest.

‘Now that I look, they had wings on their backs too.’

Tiny little wings, like fruit flies.

So even though they all looked like uncles, the essence itself was fairies, is what it meant.

Su-ho’s mind started turning fast.

And after not long, Su-ho began to understand this whole situation.

‘I learned Corruption Sorcery, and Corruption Sorcery is power I obtained through the Plague Queen. According to what Grid said, the corrupted fairies aren’t just shunned by other fairies—they’re hated.’

And judging by what the defense soldiers were saying, it seemed the corruption-type fairies had been kicked out of this Fairy Kingdom.

The fact they were saying he’d come back, and the way they were hunting him down like rat-catching the moment he arrived, using the World Tree—everything pointed to that.

‘Then is their goal to kill me?’

That can’t happen.

That isn’t something you get to choose.

I have something I have to do.

That was to receive the recognition of ???, the second condition of the bloodline quest.

Of course, he didn’t know who ??? was.

Then the first priority goal was to find out who ??? was.

After finishing his judgment, Su-ho nodded and used a skill.

[ Blood Armory activates. ]

He held back the Heracles club.

The blood sword he had summoned and was holding right now was simply a negotiation tool for show.

Su-ho pointed the blood sword at the defense soldiers and said,

“How about calming down instead of getting worked up?”

“Y-you blasphemous—! So you’re finally showing your true colors!”

“I’ll ask one last time. You’re not willing to calm down and talk?”

“No! Catch that bastard right now!!”

“Yes, sir!!”

I clearly tried to talk first.

But you’re the ones who refused.

Having accepted their intent, Su-ho immediately swung his sword.

Slice!

There was no need to use a skill.

With one big swing of his sword, the tips of the spears they were holding fell off as if it were a lie.

“Next is your heads, so think before you come at me.”

A second warning.

But even so, there are always guys who can’t tell courage from reckless bravado.

“Don’t be ridiculous!!”

One unnamed defense soldier standing in the second row charged at Su-ho, holding his spear that hadn’t been cut yet.

Yeah.

There always has to be one like that.

Instead of answering, Su-ho swung his sword hard.

At the same time as the spearhead was cut off, the neck of the guy who’d been showing off his bravado was slashed wide.

“Gkeoaaaeok...!”

He didn’t behead him.

He just cut a deep gash around the vocal cords.

If he left him like that, he’d die from blood loss.

But do fairies even have the concept of bleeding out?

Still, seeing him spill blood, no matter if he was a fairy, it couldn’t be a light wound.

Su-ho walked over to the fallen defense soldier, lifted his hand, and made him wrap his own neck and press down to stop the bleeding.

“Hold it tight. If you don’t, you’ll die.”

Then he raised his head again and spoke to the surrounding defense soldiers.

“This is the last time. I want to talk with you. So don’t just hate me blindly—guide me to the Queen. Then I’ll spare this guy.”

A sneering proposal.

At that, one defense soldier bit his lip and trembled.

“You cowardly...!”

“Cowardly? Me?”

“Yeah! Cowardly, taking a hostage!”

“This is absurd.”

Slice!

At the word cowardly, he swung his sword again.

But what he cut wasn’t the defense soldier who accused him of being cowardly—it was the arm of the defense soldier whose neck had been cut.

“Gkyaaaaaah!!”

The defense soldier who had been pressing his neck with both hands instantly became a one-armed man and had to clutch his neck with one hand.

“S-stop!”

That was when it happened.

From among the defense soldiers, someone who looked like he had a fairly high rank stepped forward.

- Fairy Kingdom Defense Captain Lv.???

His name card said Defense Captain.

As if meaning for them to calm down, he spread his palm and stepped forward, quietly set his spear down on the ground, and spoke.

“We’ll do as you say. We’ll guide you to Her Majesty the Queen, so save my subordinate.”

“Now you finally speak like someone reasonable.”

He didn’t know how high Defense Captain was, but since he was in a higher position than the others, he probably wouldn’t lie.

Su-ho immediately began treating the hostage.

[ Restore activates. ]

Hwaaa!

As Restore activated, a warm effect spread out and regenerative healing began.

Maybe because of the unique pain-reduction effect that occurred in that process, even the defense soldier who had been shuddering in pain gradually calmed down, and in the end he even came to have a relaxed expression.

Then, when Su-ho finished the treatment and lifted his head again—

“......?”

He was about to say the treatment was done, but the expressions of the Defense Captain and the defense soldiers staring at him weren’t normal.

More precisely, they looked like they’d seen a ghost.

“What’s with you guys? Why are your faces like that?” 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Y-you... How on earth did you...?”

“What? Explain it so I can understand.”

“H-how does a fairy like you, closest to death, have a power that can restore something...?”

“That makes no....”
