Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 627

RUMBLEEEEEEE!

Mana drained away, and his body surged upward.

Only to roughly Alucard’s size.

There was no need to grow any larger.

The larger he became, the stronger he would be, but the duration would shorten by that much as well.

Besides, after hearing that Alucard had an enormous amount of stored blood, he had no intention of forcing a short battle.

Seeing the enlarged Su-ho, Alucard laughed.

“You have an amusing power.”

“Yeah. I hope you enjoy it to the very end too.”

When Su-ho spread his hand, black energy began gathering in his grasp.

It was shadow.

Because it was difficult to create a Blood Sword that matched Su-ho’s enlarged body, he had been using shadows to make a sword since before.

Soon, with Jack’s help, the “Guiyeong Sword,” formed from countless gathered shadows, was born.

“Kaaaak!”

Alucard opened his jaws toward Su-ho and charged in.

Su-ho immediately swung his sword.

SLASH!

The Guiyeong Sword was a famous blade no less than the Blood Sword.

No, when considering only stats or options, there were even times when it was superior to the Blood Sword.

That was why the Guiyeong Sword succeeded in chopping off Alucard’s neck in one stroke, like an executioner’s blade.

Su-ho did not stop there and swung the sword once more, cutting through Alucard’s body as well.

However.

[ Alucard uses the High Priest’s authority. ]

A brief system notification.

At the same time, the bastard’s body shone pure white, and the body that had been cut twice regenerated in an instant, just like Edersen’s.

And.

[ Alucard uses the High Priest’s authority. ]

CRUNCH! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Alucard, regenerated in an instant, did not miss the opening and immediately bit Su-ho’s side.

A tremendous bite force.

The pain digging into his side was bad enough, but what was even more horrible was the feeling that something spread through his entire body the moment his side was bitten.

[ You have been poisoned. ]

The cause was deadly poison.

Well, of course the snake Alucard brought out wouldn’t be just an ordinary snake.

Su-ho immediately swung his sword, cut off the bastard’s neck, then lifted the body and threw it far away.

However, the head biting his side remained as it was.

Su-ho raised his sword and dragged it downward as though skewering the bastard’s head, making it fall off.

Then he quickly used Purification.

[ Purification activates. ]

Sanctity seized his entire body and cleanly neutralized the deadly poison that had spread through him.

The snake head that had been flung far away had already turned to powder and disappeared into the ground.

Of course, it had not truly disappeared, but had been absorbed back into Alucard.

‘What a pain. Seriously.’

Su-ho raised his sword again.

It seemed he needed another countermeasure.

Then a thought suddenly occurred to him.

‘But how did I get bitten?’

What about Protection Holy Art?

With the Quai System applied, it should definitely have blocked it automatically, shouldn’t it?

At that moment, he recalled the brief system notification that had appeared and vanished before the bastard bit his side.

The notification saying Alucard had used the High Priest’s authority.

Once he realized the cause, his brow naturally narrowed.

‘So if he has authority, everything is okay?’

It was ridiculous.

Why don’t I have authority like that?

He’s the High Priest, but I’m the Pope, aren’t I?

Why do Quai and Sachsen suddenly feel so shabby?

In any case, he understood that he had to watch out for that damn authority.

Su-ho immediately widened the distance.

But Alucard did not give Su-ho any time to spare.

“Kaaaaaa!”

Alucard charged in with his jaws wide open.

At the same time, pure white tentacles rose from the ground and attacked Su-ho.

[ Protection Holy Art activates. ]

KAKANG!

Fortunately, this time Protection Holy Art activated and blocked Alucard and the tentacles.

As expected, it seemed that the reason his side had been bitten earlier was thanks to that authority.

When Protection Holy Art bought him time, Su-ho immediately focused his mind.

[ Extreme Strength activates. ]

[ Soul Severing activates. ]

[ Extreme Strength is applied. ]

[ Soul Severing’s power rises to the extreme. ]

He wanted to use True Severance, but there was no time.

Because Protection Holy Art looked like it would shatter at any moment.

So he used only Soul Severing.

There was one reason.

It was not to attack the bastard.

It was to see the rune rings visible through Soul Severing.

When Soul Severing activated, the world inverted to gray, and he saw the numerous rune rings making up Alucard.

‘What the hell is this?’

Su-ho’s eyes widened.

Rune rings like bundles of nerves.

It could be said they were by far the most numerous rune rings he had ever seen.

No, Alucard’s snake itself looked as though it was made of rune rings... like a lump of code made of data consisting of zeros and ones.

‘Then is that snake just something like a summon or a skill?’

Was that why there was no end no matter how many times he cut it?

At that moment, Protection Holy Art, unable to endure Alucard’s bite force, shattered.

“Damn!”

The state of Soul Severing was also released.

Because he had not been able to swing the sword.

Alucard thrust his jaws toward Su-ho again.

The tentacles came as a bonus.

Su-ho threw the Guiyeong Sword into the air and chanted a skill.

[ Shadow Movement activates. ]

SHUSHUK!

Su-ho’s body was transferred to where the Guiyeong Sword had flown.

He had tried not to use it if possible.

Because the larger his body had become, the greater the amount of energy consumed.

But rather than being bitten by Alucard again and poisoned, Shadow Movement was better.

Because the energy cost of Purification was greater than the energy needed for movement.
