Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 136

"It worked!! It really worked!!"

The bones from the two Mega Drakes merged, creating a new, powerful bone.

The name was Quarter Dragon.

Su-ho smiled as he saw the notification.

‘Just like Daniel said.’

A Quarter Dragon was a dragon with only one-fourth of dragon blood. And since the system recognized at least a Quarter Blood as part of the original dragon species, the newly evolved bones were now named Dragon instead of Drake.

Su-ho spoke with determination.

"Let’s craft it immediately."

"Yes, okay!"

At Su-ho’s request, Gong Da-won consumed a skill potion and immediately used the next skill.

And then—

[Bone Reconstruction successful.]

[A Bone Quarter Dragon has been crafted.]

The result was a success.

As the skill succeeded, light erupted from the bones, and before them stood a colossal Bone Dragon, far larger than the Mega Drake.

"I-I made a Bone Dragon...!"

Though it was only a Quarter Dragon, Gong Da-won had succeeded in creating a Bone Dragon.

As a result, Gong Da-won received bonus stats for his achievement, and Su-ho finally came face to face with the Bone Dragon he had been hoping for.

But then, something unexpected happened.

"Ugh!"

Gong Da-won’s expression turned urgent, like a staff member who had just discovered a massive accident.

And then, soon after—

"R-run! Get out of here!"

"Is it out of control?"

"Y-yes?"

"I thought it might be."

"W-what do you mean?!"

"Take a rest for now."

Su-ho immediately struck him at the back of his neck with a swift blow, knocking him unconscious.

Then, he placed him inside the space house. As the system notification appeared before Su-ho’s eyes, he knew what had happened.

[The Bone Quarter Dragon has escaped Gong Da-won’s control.]

It was exactly as it appeared.

The Bone Quarter Dragon had broken free from Gong Da-won’s control and had started rampaging on its own.

The proof was the nameplate that appeared above the Bone Quarter Dragon’s head—one that had never been seen before.

– Bone Quarter Dragon Lv.151

A staggering level of 151!

But that level was limited to the artificially created Bone Quarter Dragon—it could only reach this level due to the circumstances.

‘If it were the real thing, it would be at least 200.’

The Bone Quarter Dragon had completely lost control and began to rampage.

– Krrrraaaah!!

Crash!!

The Bone Quarter Dragon, now rampaging, swung its enormous tail and attacked Su-ho. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

That creature...

For a skeleton with no vocal cords, it certainly knew how to scream.

However, there was a bit of good luck.

[The Bone Quarter Dragon uses Dragon Piercer.]

[Dragon Blood activates.]

[The Piercer does not affect Su-ho due to Dragon Blood immunity.]

Even though the Bone Quarter Dragon was at level 150, its species was still a dragon, and Su-ho, with his Dragon Blood, was immune to the Piercer attack.

Su-ho immediately summoned his Blood Sword and began charging forward.

Then, he activated a skill.

[Blessing activates.]

A buff skill that Su-ho had finally obtained at level 100, Blessing increased all stats by 10% as long as mana permitted when activated.

And then—

[Holy Enchant activates.]

Su-ho used the upgraded Holy Enchant from his Sacred Power, causing the red Blood Sword to glow a pure white.

The opponent was an undead Bone Dragon. There was no better skill than Holy Enchant to deal with undead.

Su-ho, fully prepared, dodged the Bone Quarter Dragon’s tail attack and immediately charged toward its vulnerable side.

‘Trying to face a dragon head-on would be pure madness.’

Su-ho had only encountered dragons twice in his past life.

Counting the Tower Dragon in this life, it would make three, but through those experiences, Su-ho learned that no matter what, a dragon could never be faced head-on—it was impossible to match its size directly.

That was because dragons were simply too powerful.

So, Su-ho had always targeted the backline or used strategies to weaken them.

Even when he faced the Tower Dragon, Su-ho had utilized hit-and-run tactics, making use of his space house to strike at opportune moments.

As soon as Su-ho caught the Bone Quarter Dragon’s rear, he immediately targeted its tailbone.

Crack!

– Krrraaaah!!

Even though it was an undead with no vital points, it still knew it had been struck.

Using his incredible mobility, Su-ho focused his attacks on the Bone Quarter Dragon’s tail, dodging its flailing attempts to crush him.

– Crash! Crash! Crash!!

Each time, the Bone Quarter Dragon reacted like it was being attacked by pests, thrashing around to try and crush Su-ho under its weight.

But such basic tactics would never work on Su-ho.

‘If it were a gate-monster, it might have been tricky, but as a player-owned summon, you’re just a big punching bag.’

Monsters that lost control but were once under the player’s command were mostly like that.

Had it been a gate-affiliated monster, it would have been far stronger, able to use its own skills. But a creature like this, one created artificially by the player, wouldn't have decent skills.

Thinking that, Su-ho swung his sword again.

Clunk! Swoosh!

This time, his attack landed properly.

Finally, the Bone Quarter Dragon could no longer endure the accumulated damage, and its tail was severed.

– Krrraaaah!!

As the tail was torn off, the Bone Quarter Dragon erupted in even more frantic thrashing.

It was a sign of fear.

But despite its frantic movements, it struggled to regain its balance.

‘Monsters with tails often rely on them for balance.’

Taking advantage of the creature’s imbalance, Su-ho plunged his Guiyeong Spear into its shadow.

[Shadow Binding activates.]

[Shadow Bleed activates.]

As the Bone Quarter Dragon faltered, Su-ho drove the spear into its shadow, binding it in place.

There was a large level gap—about 50 levels—so it wouldn’t last long.

But that didn’t matter.
