The Return of the High-ranking Civil Servant
Episode 366
The skin on the body splits and the poison pours out.
Suho came out during that gap.
At the same time, the corners of Suho’s mouth went up.
“Oh my, it’s finally coming out.”
We were attacking from the inside with the intention of finishing it off in one go, but an unexpected variable arose.
But eventually it was resolved.
Hera looked at Suho’s triumphant appearance with an expression of incomprehension.
No matter how you look at it, the current guardian doesn’t look like he’s been poisoned.
‘How on earth?’
But before his curiosity could be fully satisfied, Suho’s counterattack began.
Suho ran towards the guy again.
What he held in his hand was a black spear.
It was a ghost town.
[ Shadow Penetration is activated . ]
[ Shadow Strike is activated . ]
[ Shadow Bleeding is activated . ]
Phew!
I deliberately aimed for a shadowy place and stabbed him.
Then, various effects including penetration were activated.
However, Hera’s Yamata no Orochi was not able to inflict much damage with the Ghost Spear.
– Khuuuung!!
With a cry, Yamata no Orochi breaks his spear.
But even so, Suho’s expression still looked relaxed.
Hera didn’t miss Suho’s expression.
Why?
Why are you smiling like that?
A bad feeling.
And most of the time, ominous feelings come true.
Hera’s curiosity was quickly satisfied.
[ The red-eyed Yamata no Orochi is addicted. ]
Rising system notifications.
It was a notification that Yamata no Orochi had been poisoned.
The corners of Suho’s mouth go up when he sees that.
At the same time, Hera’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to tear apart.
‘How on earth!’
The secret was with the poisonous dragon.
Suho recalled the information about the poisonous dragon.
[ Poisonous snake ]
– Grade: S+
# The legendary snakes born from one head are said to have great power.
# The poisonous snake responds to its master’s call.
# A poisonous snake eats all the poison given to it by its master.
# There is no poison that a poisonous snake cannot digest.
# Poisonous snakes combine the poisons they eat to create entirely new types of poison.
# A poisonous snake can only produce as much venom as it has eaten.
The greatest advantage of the poisonous dragon is that it can digest all poisons.
So, as soon as Suho, who had made the first plan, made the plan, he fed the poison of the red net that had seeped into the poisonous dragon’s body.
Of course, feeding the poison that had seeped into the poisonous dragon’s body did not immediately detoxify it.
In the first place, in order to detoxify all the poison that was released into the bloodstream through the poisonous dragon, all the blood in the body had to be drained.
But if you drink the poison of the enemy and create new poison, it’s a different story.
The poison of the poisonous dragon becomes an antidote if you eat it again.
Moreover, the newly created poison is made by mixing existing poisons, so it becomes a higher grade poison.
Of course, it takes a long time.
It took a whole day because it was more toxic than Endo’s poison.
But I finally did it.
Suho ate the poison made by the poisonous dragon and developed a new poisoning effect. Then he ate it again and succeeded in completely detoxifying himself.
Now it’s time to counterattack.
Suho chose Guiyeongchang as the means.
Even though it is a monster protected by a goddess, it is a ghost spear that pierces everything equally under the shadow.
In other words, the reason he threw the spear knowing it would break was to inject the poison through the penetration effect.
Hera, who realized the whole truth too late, only then did her face turn red.
‘How dare you… …! How dare you, a lowly thing… …!’
I was pleasantly fooled.
But there was nothing she could do right now.
Yamata no Orochi of Red Hope is a special monster created for the 12 tasks.
There is no such thing as a second phase.

Additionally, there is a situation where you secretly inject your power into the system.
That was the reason the inner wall became hard.
This was a matter that had not been agreed upon with the system, so if we intervened any further, there was a high probability that the system would notice.
That’s why there’s nothing more Hera can do.
But even if it was poisonous, how did they split the hardened body apart?
Did you intentionally significantly strengthen only the inner walls?
Surprisingly, the method was simple.
It’s all about using the claws of a monster lion.
The first task was the monster lion, which was so strong that even the guardian’s sword could not penetrate it.
However, he showed an infinitely soft appearance in his own claws, and the power of his claws was enough to successfully defeat the second task, Yamata no Orochi.
Is that all?
Among the nine heads of Yamata no Orochi, the head of the leader who had caught fire from the mini-breath was still burning.
The fire of protection was powerful, and the blessing of regeneration bestowed by Hera provided endless firewood.
But now that’s all over.
Suho picked up his sword again.
[ Lazy mode is activated ]
While you are addicted in the subspace house, your rage gauge will be filled up enough.
Now it’s time to really end it all.
With the weakening skill and poison added to it, Yamata no Orochi couldn’t do it anymore.
Crunch! Crunch!
Swords are swung and breath is emitted.
The weakened heads and tails could no longer pursue the guardian.
That was when the same task was repeated several times.
thud!
Nine flame-filled things, now hardly worthy of being called heads, fall down at the same time.
The red-hot guy’s body was covered in wounds, and his skin was black and rotten from the poisoning.
[ You have defeated the Red-Eyed Yamata no Orochi . ]
[ Level up . ]
[ All stats increased by 1 . ]
[You have acquired 1 bonus stat.]
Finally, the Hydra was defeated.
The level has also increased. And that’s it.
[Magic stat has reached 100.]
[ Magic stats grow even further . ]
[Congratulations! Your Magic stat level has increased and you have reached Navy Grade!]
[You are the first player to obtain Navy stats.]
[ For achieving great achievements, the system will gift you 10 bonus stats . ]
As the level increases, all stats increase by 1, and as a result, the magic stat, which was 99, is upgraded to Navy grade.
Suho checked his status window.
[ An Su-ho ]
– Lv: 237
– Class: Rage Crusader
– Characteristic ▲: ＜New Blood＞＜Hercules Candidate＞＜King of Destruction＞＜Sealed Moon Magic＞＜Power of the Sun＞＜Power of the Moon＞
– Strength (B): 91
– Horsepower (N): 1
– Sense (G): 91
– Leadership (N): 56
– Bonus stat: 32
The bonus stats obtained from the previous Ki Seung-ok are the same.
Plus, you get 10 bonus stats thanks to the First Navy stat.
However, distribution was postponed for the time being.
Because that wasn’t what was important right now.
“… … .”
Suho furrowed his brows.
System notifications that don’t come up.
What Suho wanted to see wasn’t notifications that Yamata no Orochi had been defeated or that his level had increased.
Suho raised his head and looked at the sky.
Then I said it as politely as possible.
“Will you just admit it now?”
There is no one around.
In a way, it’s a monologue.
But Suho was clearly talking to someone.
The target was Hera.
Suho recalled the content of the quest he had received this time.
[ Incomplete recognition ]
– Rating: S
# We re-do the second task, which only received half the recognition out of the 12 tasks.
# ■■ As this is a task proposed by ???, some of the information about the boss monster Yamata no Orochi will be changed to fit the second task by utilizing the existing old legendary gate.
# Defeat the Yamata no Orochi whose information has changed and receive ■■’s full recognition.
This goal is not to conquer the gate.
However, it does not mean that we will defeat the mighty Yamata no Orochi.
To be exact, the real point of this quest is ■■… … namely, gaining the recognition of the transcendent being, presumed to be ‘Hera’.
So, you are protesting to a transcendent being you have never seen.
If the goal of this quest was to gain her approval, then he was sure that she would be watching him this time too.
And that prediction came true.
Hera chewed her lip.
How dare you, a lowly person, not only overcome your own sorcery, but also speak so presumptuously?
That was when.
[ ??? is watching you ]
A notification appears before Hera.
It was a system.
Hera, seeing that, couldn’t help but chew her lips again.
‘f*ck.’
The system is both the rules and the manager.
At the same time, he is a being greater than a god who can never be defeated.
That’s why even I, as confident as I am, couldn’t go against the system.
She kept her promise with narrowed eyebrows.
[■■ fully acknowledges you for defeating the red-faced Yamata no Orochi.]
[ Quest completed ]
Finally got recognized.
After Hera’s approval, the system continued its work.
[You have achieved the second of the 12 Heroic Tasks.]
[ The system grants you the ability to have the power of Hercules . ]
[Characteristic information is subject to change.]
[ For achieving great achievements, the system will gift you 10 bonus stats . ]
Notifications that follow.
But Suho’s eyebrows went up when he saw the last notification.
‘I got the bonus stat for the second task last time too, and now I’m getting it again?’
Not bad, right?
This is not enough compensation.
Suho raised the corners of his lips and checked the information on the changed Hercules candidate traits.
[ Hercules Candidate ]
# ①×××× × ××××× ×
# One who possesses the minimum qualifications to obtain the power of the hero Hercules.
# Among the candidates for Hercules, only the one who completes all 12 labors first can become the true Hercules.
① Hercules Candidates gain 100% additional attack power against bare hands, swords, blunt weapons, and bows while possessing the Hercules trait.
② While the Hercules candidate has the Hercules trait, his fire attribute affinity increases by 100%, and his poison resistance and physical regeneration power increase significantly.
The sealed options were for poison resistance and body regeneration.
It wasn’t particularly new since it was information I already knew.
Suho, who had closed the information window, turned his gaze to the fallen Yamata no Orochi.
The reason I originally came here was because there was something I absolutely had to get here.
But, due to Hera’s sudden intervention, his turn was stolen.
Suho approached the corpse of Yamata no Orochi.
At the same time, I activated my magic detection and saw the guy’s tail.
After watching the tail for a while, a smile soon appeared on Suho’s lips.
‘yes!’
If it had disappeared, I would have made a formal complaint to the system.
Suho approached the tail that he had selected with his magic sense and raised his blood sword.
Then I cut open the black, dead tail and finally found something long and hard inside that looked like a bone, but was definitely not a bone.
As Suho placed his hand on it, the huge and solid thing shrank in size as if it were a lie, and soon became a single sword that fit perfectly in Suho’s hand.
As Suho pulled the sword out of the guy’s tail, the sword caught the light and glowed brilliantly.
Surprisingly, it was none other than the divine sword, the ‘Kusunagi’s Sword’, which did not contain a single drop of blood or poison.
