Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 672

Do you think I am you?

Extermination of Evil and Blood Evil soon disappeared.

In the place they had passed through was steel wrapped around its master like Protective Holy Art.

When the steel withdrew, Graul appeared completely unharmed.

“You are pretending to be virtuous.”

“Practiced hypocrisy is better than goodness that is never practiced. I am different from you. I would never sell out my comrades just to save myself.”

“How unfortunate. Harboring lingering affection and revealing one’s weakness. Neither is a virtue a king should possess.”

“What a load of bullshit.”

What utter nonsense.

Of course, Su-ho did not yet know the correct answer to this difficult problem.

So he decided to kill Graul first.

Unlike the other faction members, Graul’s color had not changed because he was a leader.

Su-ho immediately drew the Blood Sword.

[ Blood Genesis is activated. ]

[ Mana Detection is activated. ]

[ Eye of the Nightsmith is activated. ]

[ Piercing Eye is activated. ]

[ Sword Energy is activated. ]

[ Protection is activated. ]

[ Consecration is activated. ]

[ Extreme Strength is activated. ]

Notifications appeared one after another.

Power exploded.

At the same time, he cast Deterioration on Graul.

Graul also flipped open his spellbook and prepared to use magic.

Kwaaaang!

An explosive roar.

At the same time, ink-colored steel was mercilessly fired from him.

[ Line is activated. ]

Su-ho cut through the air as though sliding and approached him.

He avoided the shower of steel.

At the same time, he summoned Extermination of Evil and Blood Evil once again.

The moment he closed the distance, he thrust out his sword.

[ Point is activated. ]

[ Ten Thousand Strikes is activated. ]

[ Consecutive Strikes is activated. ]

Kwaang!

Just before the sword reached him, a new steel pillar erupted directly in front of it.

The tip of the sword collided with the steel and unleashed a lightning strike.

As a result, its end split apart.

The steel split by Consecutive Strikes eventually burned through its entire body, but in the end, it failed to stop the enemy’s intrusion.

The tip of Su-ho’s sword surged toward Graul.

Graul twisted his body to avoid it, then immediately used movement magic to widen the distance.

[ Line is activated. ]

Su-ho immediately closed the distance.

This time, he had no intention of giving him an opening.

He swung his sword.

Kang!

Steel blocked it.

But Su-ho cut through it.

Sensing danger, Graul widened the distance.

Su-ho pursued him with Line once again.

Graul used movement magic on a large scale and moved far away.

Su-ho followed him in exactly the same way.

The pattern repeated.

Their speed gradually accelerated.

Kagang! Kang! Kang! Kagang! Kwang! Kaaang!

At some point, only sparks began flying through the air.

The giants on the ground could do nothing but stare at the sight blankly with their mouths hanging open.

At that moment.

Pukwaak!

Su-ho’s sword pierced through Graul’s body.

Kaaang!

Graul hurriedly summoned steel and swung it, knocking the Blood Sword away.

He struck it with enough force to break it, but it did not break.

Su-ho did not budge. He pressed his body closer, stared directly into Graul’s eyes, and spoke.

“Did you really think you were stronger than me?”

Graul did not answer.

Instead, he used movement magic to widen the distance once again.

Cold sweat formed.

He felt impatient.

He thought it had been a coincidence.

But that single effective strike was a considerable blow to Graul.

More mentally than physically.

Pukwaak!

At that moment, Su-ho’s sword pierced through Graul once more.

This time, Graul did not even think of knocking the sword away and chose to flee.

Su-ho pursued him again.

He swung his sword, and Graul was wounded again.

Sparks no longer flew.

The only sounds were flesh being sliced and blood scattering through the air.

All of it belonged to Graul.

Sugeok!

The sword pierced through him once again.

This time, it went deep.

Su-ho twisted the sword he had driven into him.

The internal wound deepened.

Graul gasped for breath.

He had to use magic again.

He had to use it quickly and escape.

But his body would not obey him.

The wounds that had accumulated again and again had now become damage he could no longer endure.

Graul grabbed Su-ho’s body with a trembling hand.

“How......! How could I lose to a fake like you......!”

At that desperate touch, Su-ho also grabbed Graul’s face, looked directly into his eyes, and spoke.

“Want me to tell you how a fake becomes the real thing?”

“What......?”

“If the fake kills all the real ones, the fake becomes real.”

“......!”

Graul’s eyes widened.

At the same time, he began chanting magic.

Runic characters and mana gathered densely.

It was probably his final spell.

At that moment.
