The Return of the High-ranking Civil Servant
As Suho entered the palace, Self-Defense Force members came out and stopped him.
“Anyone can come in here… … Hey, you?”
Instead of answering, Suho smiled brightly. At Hiro’s face, of course.
Then, as if the order had been delivered, the Self-Defense Force members quickly and politely guided Suho into the palace.
“I’ll call the manager right away. This way.”
Not all countries are like this, but no country has as much bureaucratic power as Korea and Japan.
Suho was grateful to Miyamoto for his quick work and was soon able to meet the manager of the Imperial Palace Gate.
“My name is Ito, nice to meet you.”
“My name is Hiro Yasuda from Sumiyoshi. Have you heard the story?”
“Yes, I just got a call. But… … .”
After exchanging greetings, Director Ito hesitates like a puppy that is about to get something done.
I’m sure you have a lot of questions.
You came here alone, and are you really going to conquer this place?
But Suho answered his question before it could even be asked.
“I’m going to conquer it alone, and I’m really going to conquer it. Just open the square door.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Square inquiry open.
At the same time, numerous officials held their breath and watched Suho’s position as if they were watching a mysterious animal.
Suho ignored it and went inside the open door and stood in front of the portal.
A rippling portal.
As Suho contacted the portal, system notifications appeared.
[ Enter the gate . ]
[ Loading gate information ]
[ Dizzying Legend ]
– Entry requirements: Level 210 or higher.
– Maximum number of people allowed: 3.
A dizzying legend.
It was the name of the Imperial Palace Gate.
‘Yeah. As the name suggests, the legend here is a bit confusing.’
The Dizzying Legend Gate is currently arguably the most powerful gate in Japan.
If the old legend was a fear caused by a small number of entrants and no information, the dizzying legend was at least because there were quite a few people who went in and out.
‘As a result, it was proudly ranked as the most powerful gate.’
Of course, Suho knows very well what kind of gate this is.
I decided that I could handle it on my own.
For example, despite being the strongest gate in Japan, the required level is only 210.
‘We must suck up as much honey as possible before the cataclysm hits.’
[ Enter the dizzying legend . ]
Wow!
A flash of light.
The view changes.
When Suho opened his eyes again, he saw the foot of a mysterious mountain covered in thick fog.
‘This is the famous overlapping mountains.’
The names of the mountains were not really overlapping.
The nickname “Overlapping Mountains” was given simply because several mountains are overlapping. It was not a nickname given because the mountains physically overlapped, but because the properties of specific mountains overlapped.
In simple terms, it means that the system has added settings for the convenience of dungeon creation.
Suho walked along the only path there was.
But when we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw that it was a dead end.
To be exact, there were three stone towers at the end of the road, and as Suho’s gaze moved to the three stone towers, a system notification popped up.
[ A quest occurs. ]
[ Dizzy Mountain Test ]
– Grade: S+
# There are many famous mountains in the dizzying mountains that have been passed down through word of mouth.
# Each mountain has its own master, and each time you defeat that master, you receive different recognition.
# You never know what results you might get in the dizzying mountain. Kill at least one mountain lord and gain the mountain’s approval.
# When you destroy a stone tower, a suitable path will be created.
The system notification was a quest.
The name is Dizzy Mountain Test.
Players called this quest “Sangun Hunt.”
Anyway, we need to hunt as many mountain masters as possible.
After completing the quest, Suho followed the quest’s instructions and tore down the closest of the three large stone towers.
clattering!
It was a stone tower that looked quite sturdy, but it collapsed without a fight with just one kick from Suho.
Then, a path that I had not seen before appeared behind the collapsed stone tower.
Suho stepped onto the path that had just appeared.
Shururuk!
As soon as Suho stepped in, a cloud of smoke wrapped around his toes and Suho’s body disappeared.
At the same time, the thick fog disappeared and a blue mountain without any moisture appeared.

‘Much better.’
What I hate more than heat is humidity.
Suho thought about it and moved his feet without thinking.
I don’t know which section of the overlapping mountains this is, but the mountain range hungry for challengers will come without anyone having to call them first.
That was when.
“help!”
A delicate female voice.
When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw a woman in a kimono running towards Suho.
What you see behind it is a beast that resembles a tiger.
[Blood Armor is activated.]
Suho immediately pulled out the blood sword and said.
“Come this way.”
Following Suho’s guidance, a woman runs towards Suho.
And Suho swung his sword without any hesitation towards the woman running towards him.
Crunch- Pukwaaaaak!
It was cut cleanly.
The cut was so clean that it left a scar and blood spurted out seconds later.
The woman just collapsed.
Blood gushed out from the cuts that ran from his collarbone to his waist.
However, Suho did not pay any attention to the fallen woman and instead turned his gaze to the beast chasing the woman.
But surprisingly, the beast that had been chasing the woman just a moment ago disappeared without a trace.
Suho swung the blade, wiping the blood off it, then looked at the woman again.
The woman was still writhing on the floor.
I didn’t do anything like supporting him.
I just stood there and watched.
After a while, the injured woman finally began to tremble all over and her body fell limp.
It’s dead.
“I guess he’s dead.”
Suho said that and approached the woman. Then.
Phew!
He stabbed the woman in the back again.
“Kkaaaaaaah!!”
At that moment, a scream burst out from the mouth of the woman who was thought to be dead.
And then, with a bang! sound, the woman’s body exploded, creating a cloud of white smoke, and the woman’s body disappeared without a trace.
– You crazy bastard, what the hell are you doing!
At that moment, an unfamiliar voice was heard from behind Suho, reprimanding him.
I turned my head and saw that it was the woman who had been stabbed earlier.
Suho said with a smile.
“You’re not dead?”
– Didn’t you ask what he was doing?
“The Fox Hunter.”
– what?
“Let’s call you a fox hunter for now. It’s true that you are a fox, and it’s true that I want to kill you.”
– What is that… … !
“How long are you going to act like this? Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune (White-faced, Golden-haired, Nine-tailed Fox)… … Oh, that’s a long name. Should I just call you Kyuubi?”
– … … !
Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune.
The woman, who was easily called a gumiho, widened her eyes in disbelief.
– How do you know my identity?
“There is nothing I don’t know.”
– what?
“The name is Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune. It is one of the three great evil spirits of Japan, commonly called the nine-tailed fox, or the golden nine-tailed fox, or the white-faced golden nine-tailed fox. Is that right?”
It’s literal.
The nine-tailed fox, also known as the white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox, was one of Japan’s three most powerful demons and the only animal-shaped demon.
One of the guy’s special traits was that he could transform into a human using magic, and he had a brilliant history of using it to steal people’s hearts, and even to destroy entire countries.
As expected, when Suho figured out the guy’s identity, a name card appeared above the woman’s head.
– Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune Lv.220
Level is 220.
Considering that the entry restriction level was 210, it can’t be considered that high.
But where is the 200?
‘If it was a 1-star, I wouldn’t have expected leveling up.’
Suho took up his sword again.
“Nothing more to say? Let’s wrap this up.”
– This, this crazy guy!
The gumiho, enraged by Soo-ho’s indifferent attitude as if he was handling company business, began to release her powers.
[ Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune releases demonic powers . ]
Liberation of magical powers.
At the same time, the guy’s body swelled and he transformed into a giant nine-tailed fox, no longer in human form.
– Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
[ Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune uses boss monster-level Fear . ]
[Hemorrhage is activated.]
[ Fear is not applied due to the dragon spirit effect of Dragon Blood . ]
Monster peers used simultaneously.
Of course it didn’t work.
Even if you say that it’s one of Japan’s three great evil spirits, their level is nothing compared to that of a dragon.
The fox said, gritting his teeth.
– I don’t know how you realized it, but I will never just kill you… … !
“Yes, definitely do that.”
Suho answered indifferently this time too.
At the same time, I kicked the floor once.
[ Blessing is activated . ]
[Holy Enchantment is activated.]
[Magic detection is activated.]
[ Patience is activated . ]
[ Reinforcement is activated . ]
[ The eyes of the night watchman are activated . ]
System notifications pouring in and skill effects exploding.
Suho raised his sword one after another and used his skills on the fox in front of him.
[ Weakness is activated . ]
Wow!
Light is radiating.
At the same time, Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune could feel that his strength had been halved.
– how?!
“like this.”
Tadadot!
Suho starts running towards Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune.
Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune opened his eyes, surprised by the sudden closing of the distance.
Clearly, the guy’s presence had become insanely huge compared to when he first cut himself.
At the same time, I felt threatened. A very real threat to my life.
– Oh my god!
Kyaaaaaa!
The high-pitched cry of the nine-tailed fox.
At the same time, green flames characteristic of fox monsters bloomed on Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s nine tails.
[ Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune uses the fox flame. ]
[ Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s attack power increases significantly. ]
[Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s defense power increases significantly.]
[ Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s regenerative power increases significantly. ]
Fox Flame is one of Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s extreme techniques that increases all abilities by lighting up all nine tails with magical flames.
Bringing this out also meant that I was going to give it my all from the start.
At the same time, Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune spurted its nine tails like spears at the guardian running towards it.
Suho looked straight at it.
And he swung his sword.
[ Cloud Slash is activated . ]
[ Reinforcement is applied . ]
[The power of Cloud Slash becomes even stronger.]
WH …
A sword swung with great swing.
And the resonating cutting sound.
At the same time, Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s eyes widened once again.
Because his own tail, which was stronger than steel, was cut off as if it were a lie.
But it’s still too early to be surprised.
Because the bloody inspection’s run isn’t over yet.
Bloody blades pour in between the tails that fall like broom heads.
Kwajik!
Suho stabbed the blood sword he was holding in reverse into Hakumenkonmokyuubi no Kitsune’s forehead.
Then, like a magic wand, he stretched it to its fullest.
Kwajijijik!
The blade pierces through Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s body.
Hakumenkonmokyuubi no Kitsune’s body trembled in excruciating pain, and soon stopped moving.
thud!
Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s body collapses.
Only then did Suho put away his sword.
I also acquired the skills that were wrapped around my body.
That moment.
– Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune, who was thought to be dead, once again raised his fox fire and swallowed Suho like a whale’s jaw.
Crunch!
Suho is swallowed up.
however.
Crunch!!
The sound of bones breaking.
At the same time, a long line of blood appeared on Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune’s neck and the guy’s neck fell down.
Suho was standing at the nape of the decapitated man’s neck.
[You have defeated Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune.]
The church notification that comes to mind only then.
Suho smiled only after seeing the notification.
I’m familiar with the guy’s pattern.
In particular, he warned us to be careful of immortal regenerative powers, such as a snake head that can move even if its head is cut off.
So, I deliberately gathered my sword and skills to induce you to let your guard down.
The result was a great success.
Of course, it’s not something to be overly happy about.
In the first place, I didn’t judge Hakumenkonmokyubinokitsune to be that dangerous of an opponent.
Instead, Suho’s attention was elsewhere.
Suho started to tear at the guy’s body with his blood sword.
And soon enough I was able to smile.
“Found it.”
A large jewel held in Suho’s hand.
It was none other than the ‘Fox Bead’.
