Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 238

“So we’re finally cleaning up North Korea, huh.”

This wasn’t Su-ho’s first time stepping foot in the North.

Previously, he had crossed the Imjin River with Choi Yoon during a gate transaction.

‘Though calling that “crossing over” is a bit of a stretch.’

But this time was definitely different.

Last time, they had deliberately stuck to safe zones to make the gate deal. Now, Su-ho had come specifically to hunt monsters—this was a full-frontal assault.

The first example of that was Dorasan Station.

Technically, Dorasan was still South Korean territory.

Yet the field was crawling with monsters.

That was because the monster oversaturation in the North had forced them to migrate south.

That was why the Imjin River bridge had been destroyed.

Without cutting off access, the monsters would’ve kept spilling into the South nonstop.

“Grrrk?”

Right around then, the monsters finally registered Su-ho’s presence.

They were orcs.

Su-ho glanced at the name tags hovering over their heads.

Green Orc Lv.142

...

The orcs were high-level.

For field monsters, their levels were unusually elevated. That was because these Green Orcs were the apex predators of the surrounding area.

‘The Cataclysm may resemble a game system, but this isn’t a game.’

Games clearly distinguished between dungeon monsters and field monsters, but the so-called “field monsters” people talked about after the Cataclysm weren’t a formal category.

The system itself had never designated anything as a “field monster.”

That term was something humans came up with.

It came from the reality that monsters from Gate Outbreaks would spill out and continue multiplying, eventually dominating entire areas.

So in the field, there were no designated boss monsters. Only gates that spawned monsters endlessly.

Which meant the only way to purify an area overrun by field monsters was to destroy the gate spawning them.

“GRAAAAH!”

The Green Orcs spotted Su-ho and charged at him, brandishing their weapons.
