Soul Devourer Chapter 7 Episode 18 — Shadow Wolf Scattered by the Light

Editor:
Within the darkness shrouding the forest, I cut down the Ulfhedinn that came charging through the shadows and completed my goal of defeating 200 of them. As I continued strengthening myself with【Voracity】while advancing through the field, the trees gradually curved inward into a semicircle, forming the tunnel-like entrance to the Boss Chamber. Guided by the evenly spaced torchlight, I walked one step at a time along the packed dirt path. Eventually, I pushed open the massive door and stepped into the Boss Chamber. The moment I reached the center... 11 spheres of light descended from above. One of them shone with dazzling brilliance, and then ten Ulfhedinn, along with a werewolf nearly twice the size of the ordinary ones, appeared before me. But its eyes held more than simple bloodlust. There was unmistakable intelligence within them. “Samael, Tamuel, Nox. The others are yours. Carmilla, stay back.” ~squirm~squirm~squirm~ ~clatter~clatter~clatter~ ~~~~ “As you command.” Feeling the res...

Soul Devourer Chapter 7 Episode 17 — Moonlit Forests and Howls of the Werewolves

Editor:
After effortlessly wiping out dozens of S-Rank Hunters, I entered the second S-Rank Dungeon with Samael and the others. The scenery changed in an instant. Spread out before us was a moonlit forest that closely resembled the one in Russia's Upper S-Rank Dungeon, where I had fought the〈 Carmine Queen 〉Carmilla. The only difference was that this wasn't a lifeless forest of withered trees. It was alive, lush with vibrant green foliage. As I advanced with【Night Vision】maintaining my visibility, I sensed something rapidly weaving through the trees toward us. Rustle, rustle. The sound of undergrowth being trampled echoed through the forest. Turning toward the noise, I saw two crimson orbs floating in the darkness. Eyes. A moment later, it burst from the shadows. A towering, muscular beast covered from head to toe in thick fur. I observed it in an instant. It carried no weapon. Its fangs and body were weapons enough. Walking upright on two legs, it charged straight at me, driven by pu...

Ossan Saikyō Chapter 10 Part 15

Editor:
Afterward, I was swept up by the wildly excited townspeople and barely managed to escape into the Adventurers Guild in one piece. To be honest, Zaikal hadn't caused that much destruction inside the town itself, so I hadn't expected to be treated as some kind of " Hero who saved the Town ". “Oh, come on! Of course you would be. He openly announced that he was one of the Twilight Kin , and everyone could tell he really had that kind of power.” As we took a breather in one of the back rooms, Rani looked at me in exasperation after hearing my complaint. “But I don't think he was that strong. It only turned into a good fight because I wasn't strong enough. A normal A-Rank party could probably beat him.” “Soushi, don't you think it's about time you realized your own strength is completely abnormal?” “Even if you say that...” It's true that without the【Fury】skill, I probably would have been overwhelmed. Zaikal was certainly a powerful opponent. Still, I c...

Ossan Saikyō Chapter 10 Part 14

Editor:
“Excellent. Then let us begin. At this very moment, I declare the battle commenced!” With that shout, Zaikal slowly began walking toward me, swaying his slender body from side to side. At first glance, his approach looked careless. In reality, he was full of openings. Yet it was obvious those openings were backed by absolute confidence. I also advanced little by little with my guard raised. Judging by our physiques, Zaikal had the longer reach. Hyuuh! With a sound like an exhalation, an overwhelming blow struck my right side. I hadn't even seen the attack begin. It was probably his left arm. The next strike hit the left side of my head. The arm I'd raised to block creaked under the impact. Then came a straight punch aimed at my face. That one I saw. I slipped inside his guard-! A tremendous impact slammed into my jaw. A knee. So getting inside had been a trap. Still... That level of impact wasn't enough to stop me. I answered with a right hook. I'd aimed for his body. I...

Soul Devourer Chapter 7 Episode 16 — The End of Self Defense

Editor:
The large man who had looked down on me and picked a fight made the first move. That made it a clear case of self defense. I pulled the《 King Minotaur's Earthcleaver 》, which I had obtained from the previous dungeon, out of my《 Magic Pouch 》and split him cleanly in two with a single strike. As I searched through the spoils, the surrounding Hunters drew their weapons one after another, surrounding me and blocking every possible escape route. Judging by the killing intent they radiated and the look in their eyes, they had no intention of taking me alive. In that case, there was no need to hold back. I drew the《 Fly King's Soul Harvest 》from my《 Magic Pouch 》and struck first. Activating【 Eidolon 】, I teleported behind one of the Hunters and slashed with my dagger. His head flew into the air, spraying blood everywhere, still wearing an expression that had yet to comprehend what had happened. “Ah! He's over there!” A woman on the opposite side pointed at me and shrieked. A spear...

Soul Devourer Chapter 7 Episode 15 — Proof of a Weak Nation

Editor:
After clearing the King Minotaur Dungeon, I headed for the second S-Rank Dungeon in the car driven by Oliver. The car gradually slowed to a stop in front of a plaza bustling with Hunters. Oliver opened the door for me, and after stepping out, I simply said, “ I'm off ”, before heading toward the entrance registration. Once again, merely walking through the plaza drew countless stares. Then it happened. A man stepped into my path, blocking the way, and spoke in a rough voice. “Hey! Come here for a second.” (E/N: Man, mind yo own business!) He stood around 190 centimeters tall. With his large, well built frame, he carried a greatsword nearly as tall as himself. He looked down at me with utter contempt. After glancing at his ear, I replied in clumsy English. “...What's up?” “You're a foreigner, aren't you? What country are you from?” “I'm from Japan.” “Japan? What's a Hunter from some weak little country doing here?” Holding a conversation in English any longer wa...

Ossan Saikyō Chapter 10 Part 13

Editor:
Although we all had a strong feeling that something ominous was brewing, we continued on the road toward Bartlan for the time being. To me, it felt like we were walking straight into a major disaster event. In any case, we needed to report the appearance of the Twilight Hounds to the Guild as quickly as possible. After all, they were almost certainly the unidentified monsters for which the subjugation request had been issued. As the town came into view, I noticed unusual commotion around the city gate. Moreover... The gate itself showed clear signs of destruction. We hurried over and found several gate guards lying on the ground. The sight was horrific. Around 10 soldiers lay dead, every one of them cleaved apart by what appeared to have been a single strike. It was a scene too gruesome to look at directly. “This is terrible... Did monsters attack?” “No. If monsters had attacked, the people nearby would have been victims as well.” As Sphenia answered, she carefully surveyed the surrou...
