Suho’s mastery of Cloud Cleaver turned what had been repetitive training into a one-sided massacre.
[ You have slain a Sky Wyvern. ]
[ You have slain a Sky Wyvern. ]
[ You have slain a Sky Wyvern. ]
[ You have slain a Sky Wyvern. ]
With each swing of his blade, wyverns fell—no matter how far they were.
The only way they could survive was to flee in a completely different direction.
When the slaughter finally ended, Suho reached the summit.
- Kyoooohhh!
[ The enraged Sky Wyvern Queen roars. ]
The Queen’s anguished cries echoed across the peak.
She had lost her mate and all her subordinates before her very eyes—her fury was inevitable.
But Suho felt no sympathy for her rage or grief.
His focus lay solely on the cave nest behind her.
Inside, Suho could see freshly laid, unhatched wyvern eggs.
Gripping his sword, he muttered, “Let’s finish this quickly.”
Then, he charged toward the Sky Wyvern Queen.
[ You have slain the Sky Wyvern Queen. ]
[ The gate has been cleared. ]
[ The MVP of the gate conquest is ‘Ahn Suho.’ ]
[ MVP bonus experience points awarded. ]
[ MVP bonus stat awarded: +1. ]
[ Level up! All stats increased by 1. ]
[ Bonus stat awarded: +1. ]
The moment the Sky Wyvern Queen’s head fell, a cascade of system notifications appeared.
Suho glanced through them, unsurprised.
“No additional perks this time, huh.”
By now, he was used to receiving bonus stats, and without any monumental achievements, the rewards felt a bit underwhelming.
Still, it was fine.
After all, he had accomplished his primary goal: mastering Cloud Cleaver.
Distributing his bonus stat points into strength as always, Suho updated his status window.
[ Ahn Suho ]
Level 73.
Gaining three levels in Sky Mountain was respectable progress.
“My strength stat’s already at 80. Not long until the next rank.”
Closing the status window, Suho stepped past the Sky Wyvern Queen’s corpse and entered the cave nest.
The interior was vast and deep—it had to be, to accommodate the Queen’s massive size.
Yet, the eggs she had laid were relatively ordinary, only slightly larger than ostrich eggs.
Counting them, Suho noted there were twelve in total.
“Hm.”
The Union’s advance team had reported seeing six eggs.
After a brief moment of thought, Suho stored two of the eggs in his spatial storage and placed the remaining ten in his inventory.
As he approached the portal at the summit’s edge, Suho abruptly stopped and turned back.
“Oh, almost forgot about that.”
He had been so focused on collecting the eggs that he nearly overlooked the Queen’s corpse.
Monster corpses were valuable for their materials, and the Sky Wyvern Queen’s body was no exception.
At her level, her remains would fetch a high price.
But Suho wasn’t particularly interested in crafting items or earning money.
Instead, he summoned Shadow Spear and drove it into the Queen’s shadow.
[ Shadow Spear reacts to the Sky Wyvern Queen’s shadow. ]
[ Shadow Spear absorbs the Sky Wyvern Queen’s shadow. ]
[ Shadow Spear is enhanced. ]
Suho wasn’t collecting the Queen’s corpse for profit—it was all for Shadow Spear.
The shadow of a powerful monster provided the perfect nourishment for his weapon.
When the spear finished consuming the shadow, another notification appeared.
[ Shadow Spear has fully absorbed the Sky Wyvern Queen’s shadow. ]
For a brief moment, Shadow Spear glowed faintly before returning to its normal state.
“Looks like it just needs one more big meal to evolve,” Suho noted, having observed the weapon’s near-transformation.
With the Queen’s corpse fully consumed, nothing remained but to exit the gate.
Outside Sky Mountain Gate
“What the…?”
“No way…”
“Is the gate collapsing?”
“Don’t tell me… he cleared it?”
“Unbelievable…”
As the gate trembled, Union members stationed outside began murmuring in disbelief.
When the gate line vanished completely, their astonishment turned to awe.
“Wow…”
“So this is the Sword God.”
“His title isn’t just for show.”
“I honestly thought the rumors about him clearing sealed gates were exaggerated…”
“This is insane…”
Among the onlookers were several hunters who had previously failed to clear Sky Mountain.
No one could doubt Suho’s success now.
Kim Soo-won, a Union officer, was especially impressed.
“To think he actually did it…”
Kim Soo-won had firsthand experience of how difficult the gate was. Even with a full raid team, success was never guaranteed.
Yet Suho had cleared it solo—not even Level 100, and a healer at that.
Next to him, Choi Yoon smirked.
“He cleared it.”
“Yeah, he did.”
“Impressive, right?”
“Sure is. …But why do you look so pleased?”
“Me? Oh, no reason. Must be your imagination.”
It wasn’t her imagination. For some reason, Choi Yoon couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in Suho’s accomplishment.
Soon, a figure emerged from the gate portal.
It was Suho.
The surrounding hunters quietly murmured in admiration but didn’t approach him—their professionalism kept them from behaving like starstruck fans.
Only Kim Soo-won and Choi Yoon stepped forward to greet him.
“Congratulations, Hunter Ahn Suho. You’ve successfully conquered Sky Mountain Gate on your own.”
“Yeah, congratulations!”
Suho responded with humility.
“It was just a job. Anyway, here.”
He retrieved the ten wyvern eggs from his inventory and handed them to Kim Soo-won.
Kim’s eyes widened in shock.
“Ten eggs?! There were that many?”
“I took everything I could find. Unfortunately, the King and Queen’s bodies fell off the mountain during the fight, so I couldn’t recover them.”
“No problem at all. We didn’t expect to get the bodies anyway. But ten eggs… that’s incredible.”
Kim Soo-won was genuinely impressed—not just by Suho’s ability to clear the gate but also by his honesty. Suho could have kept several eggs for himself, but he brought them all back as promised.
After a moment’s hesitation, Kim Soo-won asked cautiously, “Um… may I ask you one question?”
“What is it?”
“How did you deal with the wyverns? Did you… cut them all down with your sword?”
Kim’s curiosity was genuine, stemming from both admiration and professional interest.
Suho chuckled softly and replied, “Yes, I cut them all down.”
“All of them?”
“Yes.”
“...Wow.”
Kim Soo-won was left speechless with awe.
After finishing his conversation, Suho walked toward the car with Choi Yoon.
“Is that enough for you now?” Suho asked.
“Of course. You not only cleared the gate but brought back ten eggs! That’s more than enough.”
Suho continued, “So, as agreed, I’ll get unrestricted access to the largest property in Cheongdam.”
“Of course. Our boss always keeps their word. When do you want to move in?”
“Today. Oh, and one more thing.”
“What is it?”
Suho handed her a document from his inventory.
“There’s a patient named Nam Hae-won at Yeongdeungpo Rehabilitation Center. Find out everything about them.”
“This person… is that the engineer you mentioned earlier?”
“Do I need to explain everything when I make a request?”
“Fine, fine! But don’t you think we’re close enough for a little chit-chat?”
“No.”
Despite her grumbling, Choi Yoon agreed to his request.
A short while later, Suho received confirmation that both the Cheongdam property and Nam Hae-won’s information were ready.
As he reviewed the data on Nam Hae-won, Suho smirked.
“Easier to recruit than I expected.”
With his new plans in mind, Suho turned his car toward Yeongdeungpo.
Si supieran que se quedó con dos huevos JAJAJAJJA
