Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant

Hwang Ga-on was a well-known warrior-class player.

Despite his massive frame, he was surprisingly agile, making him an effective hybrid user capable of both dealing and tanking damage simultaneously.

On top of that, his combat sense was exceptional, often handling the workload of two players on his own.

"Especially in one-on-one battles, I’ve rarely lost."

His Infinity Duel win rate was over 90%. That statistic alone was proof enough of his extraordinary prowess.

Because of this, Hwang Ga-on always kept an eye on other powerful players. Naturally, he was well aware of the Sword Saint, An Su-ho.

Especially the fact that Su-ho had single-handedly cleared multiple sealed Gates—a feat bordering on the absurd.

However, the Gates he had cleared were relatively low-level, and rumors suggested that he relied on tricks rather than raw strength.

"On top of that, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere as a swordsman player and was specially appointed as a Rank 5 civil servant. Anyone can see that he’s a government-backed project player."

That wasn’t just Hwang Ga-on’s own assumption.

Unbeknownst to Su-ho, one of the most popular conspiracy theories surrounding him claimed exactly that.

After all, he had burst onto the scene like a comet, performing one absurd feat after another.

So naturally, Hwang Ga-on had wanted to meet him.

More specifically, he had wanted to fight him.

And now, that opportunity had finally arrived.

Closing the distance in an instant, Hwang Ga-on brought his twin axes together, raising them behind his head before slamming them down like a war hammer.

It was his signature move—Thunder Strike.

"This is the end!"@@novelbin@@

As he thought that, his axes descended upon Su-ho with devastating force.

Yet, Su-ho did not move.

He stood there, unmoving, watching the twin axes fall toward him.

Hwang Ga-on, seeing Su-ho remain still, was certain of his victory.

At this distance, at this reaction speed, there was absolutely no way he could dodge.

However, at that moment—
