Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 60 — The Great Dark Knight Who Excels in Close Combat

When I entered the boss room, it was the same as the corridor leading up to it — orderly stone walls enclosing all sides.

Ten orbs of light dropped from above, followed by one slightly larger orb. All of them shone brightly at once, revealing eleven monsters.

Ten were the Living Armors I’d defeated countless times, and the last one was wrapped in a sinister jet-black full suit of armor, gripping a greatsword as tall as itself.

The most striking feature was that it had no head on its neck — it carried its own head in its hand.

“Its name is Dullahan, huh. Its stats and skill levels being higher than the Living Armors is expected, but there’s one skill that stands out.”

As I thought it over, the Dullahan tossed its own head straight up. Instead of falling, the head hovered in the air, its gaze fixed on me.

A red glow filled the slit of its helmet, and from it spread a wave of red energy. I waited to see what would happen, but nothing affected my body or mind.

“What was that supposed to be?”

If it didn’t work, then there was no point worrying about it. My turn.

“«Wind Slash»”

A massive blade of wind tore through the Living Armors, cutting their sturdy armor with ease.

I’d fought plenty of Living Armors. There was nothing more to gain from them. I finished the rest quickly and focused on the Dullahan.

I readied my short swords and watched its movements. It began to walk slowly, then accelerated.

In an instant it closed the distance, bringing its massive sword down in a fierce strike. The impact echoed like thunder and cracks stretched out behind me.

It immediately followed with a sweeping slash. I caught the greatsword with both short swords. Then came an upward swing; I leapt back to avoid it.

The Dullahan closed in again, its swings sharper and heavier than before. I stopped the blow easily enough, but then its armored leg shot up and kicked me in the side.

I stabilized myself midair, landed, and rushed forward. Blades collided violently.

“Take this!”

I forced its greatsword aside and closed in further, slashing at the now-exposed torso. But the Dullahan smoothly twisted away and kicked toward my temple.

I blocked with a blade, though the impact pushed me back slightly. After landing, both of us faced off again.

“It doesn’t seem to have the【Martial Arts】skill, but you’re pretty good at close-quarters combat. You’re strong.”

But I’d had enough fun. Time to end it.

“I’m good at fighting in ways you don’t expect. I’m an assassin, after all.”

I activated【Stealth】and vanished, moving directly under the floating head. Leaping high, I sliced it cleanly in two.

Right after, the Dullahan’s body collapsed as if its battery had been drained.
