Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 134

"Ugh... ughhh..."

Gong Da-won, who had been cut by the sword, was curled up on the floor, groaning in pain.

Su-ho watched this scene for a while.

He was observing his wounds.

"Stop exaggerating... you weren't even cut that deeply."

It was true.

How carefully had he controlled his strength?

But Gong Da-won was gasping for air as though he was about to die, and so Su-ho used a skill on him.

[Heal activated.]

Woosh!

As the healing light enveloped Gong Da-won, his health and wounds started to heal.

Su-ho spoke as he healed him.

"You weren't even cut that deeply, so stop overreacting."

"Ugh... why... why are you... doing this to me...?"

"You know the reason better than anyone, Gong Da-won."

"I-I don’t know...! I really don’t know anything...!"

Despite the healing, Gong Da-won remained curled up, trembling with fear.

Su-ho looked down at him with a troubled expression.

His name was Gong Da-won.

He was a level 100, 1-star necromancer player and would later become known as the 'Gonjiam Lord' or the 'Gonjiam Necromancer.'

However, more fitting than those titles was the nickname 'Paranoid Necromancer.'

Su-ho recalled the information about Gong Da-won that he had seen in the Library of Memory.

"He was originally a normal person, but he suffered a severe head injury in a gate and ended up like this."

It was true.

He had been struck in the back of the head during combat, and hearing about it didn't do justice to how severe the injury was when Su-ho saw it in person.

"Such a shame. Mental illness is something I can’t cure, even with my current abilities."

According to the records, Gong Da-won was suffering from a severe delusional disorder.

For example, he believed that everyone in the world was trying to harm him.

Because of this, his paranoia grew, and he entered Gonjiam, using his abilities to create a fortress and hide away.

From a certain point of view, there wasn't much of an issue.

He was just one of many hunters who retired due to injury and, in modern society, he was no different from any mentally ill person suffering from delusions.

However, the problem arose from the abilities he was using.

‘The "Rising Series," which involves using actual corpses, is one of the banned techniques in our country.’

The Rising Series was a skill that allowed a necromancer to raise undead from actual corpses and turn them into skeletons and zombies. It was strictly forbidden under current laws in South Korea.

Of course, using it inside a gate, where combat was allowed, was fine, as the gate was considered a wartime scenario.

But outside of a gate, it was strictly prohibited.

The reason was that using actual corpses violated human dignity.

‘Gonjiam... I heard there were many uncollected bodies from the large gate that tore through this area in the past.’

Was it a coincidence that Gong Da-won ended up in Gonjiam?

It didn't matter.

What was important was that he was using his abilities to raise bodies of unknown origin and turn them into his minions, which was the real issue.

Of course, Su-ho didn’t come to see Gong Da-won to accuse him of any crimes.

Su-ho was here purely because of his characteristic quest.

Su-ho asked:

“Gong Da-won, do you have a ‘Bone Dragon’ among the undead you’ve summoned?”

“B-Bone Dragon?”

“Yes, a Bone Dragon.”

“No... not something so... amazing...”

“Then do you have any Beast-type skeletons?”

“B-Beast-type... yes, I do.”

“Please show me.”

“W-Why...?”

“If you don’t, I will kill you, Gong Da-won.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“Ah... ah...!”

Dealing with a mentally ill person might seem difficult at first glance.

But dealing with Gong Da-won, who had a delusional disorder, was surprisingly easy.

After all, he had entered the Gonjiam hillside and built a fortress because he believed someone would try to harm him. Su-ho, with his overwhelming power, threatened to kill him, and Gong Da-won, wanting to live, had no choice but to comply.

Shaking with fear, Gong Da-won started to bring out the Beast-type skeletons he had stored in his space.

“Hm.”

Beast-type skeletons.

There were many types.

From wolves to tigers and even elephants.

It looked like he had looted the Gonjiam zoo or something.

Su-ho nodded as he looked at them.

"Which of these skeletons is the hardest to control?"

“T-that one...”

At Su-ho’s question, Gong Da-won pointed to a specific skeleton.

It was similar in size to an elephant, and as soon as Su-ho saw it, he immediately recognized its original form.

“A troll?”

“Yes, yes...”

Su-ho nodded in satisfaction after seeing the troll skeleton.

That was enough for him.

Su-ho spoke:

“Gong Da-won.”

“Yes, yes?”

“It would be better if you rested for a bit.”

Su-ho struck the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.

As a result, the necromancer’s skills were canceled, and the summoned skeletons reverted back to their original skeletal form.

Su-ho left the unconscious Gong Da-won behind and walked toward the window, which was covered by curtains.

He opened the window wide and looked out at the Gonjiam hillside area.

“Hm.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Su-ho made a call.
