Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 576

I narrowed my eyes and checked the bastard’s name.

- Great Demon of Rage, Satan Lv.???

The first one to step forward was Rage.

His name was Satan.

He had the body of a man and the head of a wolf, like some kind of beastman, and somehow it suited him perfectly.

‘Definitely Rage, all right.’

There was a reason anger management issues were called that.

The bastard rose from his carriage, summoned a pair of distinctive battle-axes into both hands, and then swung them savagely toward the area where Rage Field was spread out.

[ Great Demon of Rage, Satan, uses Infernal Asura Strike. ]

Kwaaaaaaaar!

The Infernal Asura Strike he unleashed smashed straight into the Rage Field.

He did not care in the slightest about the flying monsters or the Demon King’s army caught in it.

A massive scar of destruction was carved into the path the Infernal Asura Strike passed through, and Leihian, seeing it, stamped his feet in alarm.

“I-is it okay to just leave that alone?”

“No, it’s not.”

“Huh?”

“I said it’s not okay. Judging by the size of that thing, a few more Asura Strikes and Rage Field will break.”

“Then what do we do?”

“What do you mean, what do we do? If there’s a hole and water’s leaking out, what would you do?”

“I’d plug the hole?”

“You know that much. Then why are you asking?”

Right about then, Satan used Infernal Asura Strike again.

[ Great Demon of Rage, Satan, uses Infernal Asura Strike. ]

A system notification.

The moment I saw it, I summoned the Blood Sword into my hand and swung it swiftly.

[ Sky Cleave is activated. ]

Slice—! KWA-BOOM!!

For an instant, it sounded like the air had been cut apart, and then the flying sword strike collided head-on with the Infernal Asura Strike, producing a huge explosion.

Everything caught between them was swallowed by the blast, and an enormous cloud of dust billowed up. By the time the dust settled, the only thing left there was a massive crater.

Satan laughed when he saw it.

“So that’s all you’ve got?”

He had not even used twenty percent of his power.

And looking at how things were going, it seemed obvious that if he used his full strength, he could completely shatter the formation of those foolish worms.

“That’s right. I’ll take the lead myself, cut down the enemy commander, and be the first to—”

At that moment—

Crunch!!

Satan could say no more.

Something long and black had flown in from somewhere and pierced straight through his head.

And that wasn’t all.

Writhing!

The long black thing that had skewered Satan’s head suddenly moved and took the shape of a beast.

A black beast.

It was Guiyeong.

“Come back.”

At my command, Guiyeong’s main body returned at once to my shadow.

[ You have defeated Satan, Great Demon of Rage. ]

Right on cue, the message announcing Satan’s death appeared.

Even with his head pierced clean through, he had only died now. Apparently, he’d had more life in him than I thought.

But separately from that, a flicker of unease crossed my eyes.

‘If one spear throw is enough to kill them, I might not even hit Level 400 before the war ends...’

That was the only thing I was worried about.

The six Great Demons?

The Demon King?

None of that could ever be a real concern for me.

The East-West War might have been the biggest event in the Demon Realm, but that was only a big event to demons. Now that I was experiencing it firsthand, it did not feel all that worth making such a fuss over.

Especially since I’d just killed one of the six Great Demons and didn’t even gain a full level from it. Since the war began, that was the most chilling thing I’d seen yet.

‘At this rate, I need to speed things up.’

While I was thinking that, the other Great Demons, having seen Satan die, also seemed to grasp how serious the situation was and began rising from their seats one by one.

“L-Lord Avatar! The other Great Demons are moving!”

“I can see that.”

The enraged Great Demons each began using their own skills.

Most of the techniques they used were skills that upgraded the power of their soldiers.

As dazzling skill effects rolled over the Demon King’s army like a wave, Leihian started panicking.

“S-shouldn’t we do something too?”

“I am.”

“As expected of you, Lord Avatar! Are you going to buff our allied forces too?”

“No. I’m just going to kill them.”

“Huh?”

I took hold of the Guiyeong Spear again and said,

“Stay calm and pick off the ones at the top, one by one.”

[ Blessing is activated. ]

[ Paladian is activated. ]

[ Sword Energy is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is activated. ]

And then—

[ Spear Throw is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is applied. ]

[ The power of Spear Throw increases further. ]

Once again, I hurled the heavily upgraded spear straight at the head of one of the Great Demons.

Crunch!

[ Shadow Pierce is activated. ]

[ Shadow Binding is activated. ]

[ Shadow Bleed is activated. ]

[ You have defeated Asmodeus, Great Demon of Lust. ]

[ Your level has increased. ]

[ All stats have increased by 1. ]

[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat. ]

“Oh.”

The one I’d killed this time was Asmodeus, Great Demon of Lust.

And this time, my level went up immediately.

Apparently, it was about one level for every two Great Demons.

But Asmodeus’s death became the trigger for the Demon King’s army to go berserk.

Leviathan, Great Demon of Envy, shouted,

“Go! Kill every last one of them!!”

“Kiaaaaaah!!”

“Kill them!!”

“Avenge the Great Demons!!”

“Don’t let a single one live!!”

What incredible momentum.

They were fired up.

But I did not panic. I activated the next move immediately.

[ Frenzy Valhalla is activated. ]

Frenzy Valhalla.

A mental curse even stronger than Rage Field.

The moment the skill activated, the Valkyries of Rage were summoned and began their performance of madness.
