Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 631

"Hoo......."

Su-ho gathered his anger.

Jack also waited without saying anything.

At that moment, Alucard, who had barely regained consciousness, lifted his head.

He still looked utterly aged.

"Heh heh...... You will never be able to kill me......!"

Alucard’s provocation.

Unable to stand the sight of him, Su-ho summoned the Blood Sword and drove it into the middle of his brow again.

CRUNCH!

With a chilling sound, Alucard fainted once more.

Su-ho spoke to Jack, his eyes still narrowed.

"Got any good ideas?"

- I can think of one right away.

"What?"

- Getting rid of Red Maria.

Su-ho had expected that much too.

To stop the authority from activating at all, its power source had to be gone, and Alucard’s power source came from Red Maria.

'But I didn’t know it would still work even after I cut the rune rings.'

He was truly one tenacious bastard.

But whatever the case, as Jack said, dealing with Red Maria would likely be the most realistic method.

After thinking for a moment, Su-ho said,

"It’s either destruction or absorption. If I absorb it, do you think my Blood Jade can handle something that huge?"

- That’s something we’ll only know after trying.

He was right.

It was something they would only know after trying.

Until now, he had stored countless...... no, far more blood than he had expected inside the Blood Jade, but he had still thought of it as an amount he could handle.

Because even with imagination added in, he had thought of it as being around the size of a large swimming pool.

But looking at Red Maria before his eyes, it felt as if what someone had once said, that Alucard possessed power like the sea, had been exactly right.

Seeing once was better than hearing a hundred times.

Su-ho raised both hands.

It was the posture for using Bloody Hand.

Seeing that, Jack laughed.

- I look forward to it.

"Don’t pressure me."

- No, master. Today, you will become a legend of Noctarion.

"Wow. That is one filthy way to pressure someone."

A legend of Noctarion.

Would he become that?

When I’m going to end Noctarion today.

Soon, after taking a deep breath, Su-ho activated the skill.

[ Bloody Hand activates. ]

The skill activated.

And then.

SHUAAAAAA—!

A rough pressure of wind.

An enormous amount of energy began pouring into his spread hands.

The source of that energy was, without question, Red Maria.

Red Maria, stained through with Corruption Sorcery, desperately struggled to keep the treasure it had held for hundreds of years from being stolen by a plunderer.

However, the situation was far too unfavorable for it to simply keep resisting.

The master who gave it power had lost his strength, and the plunderer’s power was too strong.

And so Red Maria began allowing what it possessed to a vampire other than Alucard for the first time in hundreds of years.

'This really is an insane amount.'

The blood and mana that had been entering him slowly soon began accelerating more and more as time passed.

And before long, they began moving into a new residence, crazily filling Su-ho’s storage, which had been almost empty.

"Keuk!"

It was hot.

He had thought it was simply the process of transferring blood and mana, but the more it accelerated, the more an indescribable sensation he had never experienced before filled his body.

And when that acceleration reached its peak—

BAAAAAANG!!

A huge explosion.

At the same time, Su-ho’s body was flung far backward.

- Master!

Jack rushed toward Su-ho, who had been thrown by the explosion.

"Agh......."

A groan burst from his mouth.

That hurts like hell.

Is this supposed to be this hard?

Thinking that, he braced himself against the ground and was about to stand, when Su-ho’s body staggered once more and nearly collapsed.

He barely held himself up with core strength and avoided falling.

"Huh?"

Su-ho’s eyes widened.

He had not simply fallen.

An empty feeling.

No, it was not just a feeling. It really was empty.

Due to the explosion just now, both of his hands had been blown off.

"Ha."

At the completely unexpected situation, a hollow laugh escaped him out of sheer disbelief.

Jack was also startled.

- Are you all right?

"I’m fine. I won’t die."

Answering that, Su-ho conveyed his will and used Recovery.

[ Recovery activates. ]

HWAAAAA!

Light burst out, and as a warm sensation washed over him, his hands regenerated.

Fortunately, Quai’s authority was perfect.

Su-ho wriggled his newly grown fingers, then stood again.

Then he looked up at Red Maria, still standing firm like a great mountain.

"Wow......."

What am I supposed to do with all of that?

I have to get rid of that thing if I want to kill Alucard.

Su-ho’s gaze shifted to Alucard.

Alucard, with the Blood Sword embedded in him, still looked shriveled up and dead, but as long as Red Maria existed, he must still be alive and breathing.

Su-ho’s gaze shifted to Jack standing beside him.

Jack said,

- It seems an overload occurred because Red Maria holds too much energy.

"Overload?"
