Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 211

Su-ho arrived once again at Seongsan Port, passing by Ki Jun-seo's container house and heading to the small boat that Jun-seo used every time he went to work on Udo Island.

‘Here it is.’

Normally, a large boat would be used, but since it was just for Ki Jun-seo, a smaller boat was provided by Tamna.

It was a relief, though.

At least they didn’t tell him to swim there, given that he's a ranker-level Hunter.

Soon enough, the boat set off.

Su-ho naturally assumed he could pilot the boat.

He didn’t have a license, but he had picked up the skills from his previous life while traveling around for work.

But the boat didn’t look like it was in great condition.

‘Even this one is cheap... They really are something.’

Considering it was one of their main revenue sources, shouldn’t they have provided better equipment?

The rich always take more, huh. Seo Do-il and Moon Hye-hyun definitely need to be punished in Cheongok.

Vrooom! Vrooom! Rattle-rattle!

When the engine roared to life, the boat shook and set off.

It didn’t take long for the boat to reach Udo, and as soon as it did, Su-ho quickly tied it off and stepped onto the island.

Su-ho looked around and thought to himself,

‘Is there really no form of transportation here?’

In his previous life, Ki Jun-seo had told him that he always walked around the island.

After all, he had to hunt monsters anyway.

It was too much. Udo wasn’t a tiny island, how could anyone walk across it?

Su-ho shook his head and looked toward the highest point of the island.

That point was called Udobong, also known as Udobong Peak or Soeo-meori Oreum.

It was where the island’s gate was located.

Su-ho immediately started running toward it.

There was no time to waste.

He had to conquer as many of the Sipil Islands as possible before sunrise.

That’s when he heard it.

“UmmuuuOOO!!”

Thud thud thud thud thud!

A cry echoed from somewhere, and at the same time, the ground trembled.

Su-ho turned toward the direction of the sound and saw a herd of cattle charging toward him.

– Spin Cow Lv.131

– Spin Cow Lv.134

– Spin Cow Lv.133

Spin Cows.

They were characterized by their rotating horns and had emerged due to the overheating of the Udobong Gate.

The creatures charged toward Su-ho in a stampede, like a herd of water buffalo.

There were at least dozens of them.

Su-ho looked at the approaching herd and thought,

‘Ki Jun-seo had to face these every day.’

Not just hunting, but even collecting loot, he had done it all alone, living in harsh conditions.

All for his sick little sister.

Su-ho summoned his Blood Sword.

He steadied himself, muttering,

“There are a lot of bad people in the world...”

“UmmuuuOOO!!”

“...But the system that created this mess is the real problem.”

Su-ho bent down.

Pulling the sword back to his waist, he swung it explosively in an instant.

Swoosh!

A brilliant red light flickered.

The sword extended past his waist in a single swing.

However, the Spin Cows did not stop charging.

They seemed intent on colliding with Su-ho.

As the closest one reached Su-ho, its body was hurled forward in a cascade.

Su-ho dismissed the system notification and glanced at the Spin Cows in front of him.

Their condition was horrendous.

They had been torn apart at the nose, with their heads and chests split open. Their insides were spilling out in a grotesque manner.

The pile of Spin Cows was so gruesome, it looked as though someone had emptied their insides.

But Su-ho was unfazed. He canceled the Blood Sword and began running toward Udobong again.

...

How many Spin Cows did he have to cut down?

Su-ho had finally reached the peak of Udobong.

Despite being known as one of Udo Island's 8 scenic spots, it didn’t offer much to look at in the dark.

In fact, he was glad it was dark.

He had already cut down so many Spin Cows on the way up that even if the view here was beautiful, it wouldn’t be a pleasant memory for him.

He gazed at the swirling gate in front of him.

This was the Udo Gate, a place he had deliberately avoided for a while to provoke a shock and monster respawn.

Seeing gates like this, used for human gain, always made him feel conflicted.

While there were public gates, this was private property.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

A property bought to drain the blood of subordinates—Su-ho couldn’t help but feel uneasy about it.

Su-ho shook his head and stepped through the portal.

[Loading Gate Information]

[Cow Island]

– Entry Requirements: Level 110-150, 2 Red Stats or more.

– Maximum Entry Limit: 5 people.

As Su-ho looked at the gate's information, his expression shifted.

[Entering Cow Island]

Cow Island. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

It was a pretty funny name, especially given the island’s name was Udo (Cow Island).

Was the gate’s name Cow Island just because it was on Udo?

Well, Udo did mean cow in Korean.

That’s probably why the field monsters were Spin Cows.

Sure enough, as soon as Su-ho entered Cow Island, he saw a large herd of Spin Cows.

Moo, moo, moo!

They weren’t charging at him, but dozens of them ran in a circle, spinning their horns.

Su-ho looked up and saw the highest point on the island.

Though he had reached the highest peak of Udo, this wasn’t the highest point on Cow Island.
