Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 587

[ You cannot use this. ]

Before long, Su-ho’s expression turned serious.

He called Guiyeong over and over, like flicking an empty lighter, but the response was the same.

Just in case, he tried using other skills too.

[ You cannot use this. ]

But the same messages appeared.

His expression crumpled.

Because the things he had just checked were things he had learned after becoming a Rage Crusader.

‘They’re really going too far.’

Shadow magic and blood magic, fine, but Rage Crusader skills still have Crusader in the name, don’t they?

Then why can’t I use them?

Isn’t this thing unable to distinguish friend from foe?

Still, thanks to that, he understood.

Just how much they must view Rage Crusaders as dangerous and seditious.

With his brow furrowed, Su-ho took his final card out of his inventory.

What he took out was none other than a sword.

It was just a somewhat sturdy sword with no special function.

It had been a very long time since he had held an actual weapon.

He carried a few around for emergencies, and as expected, it was important to be prepared in ordinary times.

Looking at the well-honed sword, Su-ho thought.

‘So all I really have left now is swordsmanship.’

Well, he did have other martial art skills and bloodline skills too, but with the two main pillars forbidden, it seemed fair to say his practical foundation was only swordsmanship.

That was fine.

I was someone who originally had nothing but a single sword anyway.

As Su-ho rested the sword on his shoulder, Silen, who had been watching, said,

“I do not wish to commit meaningless slaughter. Withdraw quietly.”

“You block off my hands and feet and still say quietly? Is that the holy knight way of negotiating? How petty.”

“Watch your words.”

“Why don’t you go eat shit? Acting all noble while you play errand boy for a Cleric.”

“You...!”

Silen furrowed his brow.

Even Wolfgang, the Monk who looked calm, narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.

As expected, for bastards who liked pretending to be refined, nothing worked quite like direct dirty talk.

That was enough checking. Instead of a whistle, Su-ho kicked straight off the ground.

Boom!

[ Heracles’s Lion Head Helmet is summoned. ]

[ Blessing is activated. ]

[ Paladian is activated. ]

[ Divine Aura is activated. ]

[ Mana Detection is activated. ]

[ Endurance is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is activated. ]

[ Eye of the Nightsmith is activated. ]

[ Sword Energy is activated. ]

Thankfully, Heracles’s skills activated.

He deliberately did not take out the club.

Heracles’s Club was certainly a good weapon skill, but in the end, since its form was a blunt weapon rather than a sword, even if the practical function fell short, a real sword was more comfortable.

While he was at it, he also used Eclipse.

[ Eclipse is activated. ]

[ You receive sunlight and moonlight. ]

[ The Rune of the Sun and Moon responds. ]

[ The power of the sun and moon is activated. ]

[ You receive the Blessing of the Sun and Moon. ]

[ All stats increase by 2%. ]

[ All recovery increases by 2%. ]

[ The light attribute is activated. ]

However, the only thing activated was the light attribute.

‘Can’t be helped.’

Still, this was something.

Seeing Su-ho’s preparations, Silen began preparing as well.

When he raised his hand, a cluster of holy light gathered and formed an enormous greatsword large enough to require both hands to swing.

“I clearly gave you a chance.”

Boom!

At that moment, the two of them shot forward at the same time, as if neither could be said to have moved first.

Antonio the Cleric and Wolfgang the Monk did not move.

Antonio was the one who had to be protected.

Because he was using a wide-range sealing holy spell.

So the attack would be handled by Silen, Antonio’s sword, and the defense would be handled by Wolfgang, Antonio’s shield.

Having grasped each of their positions at once, Su-ho snorted just before the collision.

‘They’re really doing every little thing.’

As if anyone needed proof they were religious fanatics. Seriously.

Someone once said it.

Sufficiently advanced religious fanatics were indistinguishable from politicians.

At that moment.

Kwaaaaang!!

The two who had dashed forward collided exactly at the midpoint.

A thunderous crash erupted, and a shockwave spread.

The Cardinals, the voters, silently watched the clash between the two Cardinals.

A clash of blood and silver.

Even amid the thick dust, the two of them could see each other more clearly than anyone.

Between the blades, Silen widened his eyes and said,

“Withdraw.”

“As expected of a religious fanatic. You sure love forcing things on people.”

Kaaang!

He shoved Silen away as if pushing him off, then immediately stepped back.

Then he closed the distance again and swung his sword.

[ Enhancement is activated. ]

[ Diamond Cut is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is applied. ]

[ The power of Diamond Cut grows even stronger. ]

Kwaang!!

The sword swung again and slammed into Silen.

However, the moment Su-ho’s sword touched Silen, a counterattack came in again.

He immediately widened the distance.

Silen’s sword could not reach Su-ho.

No, it could not even chase him.
