Soul Devourer Chapter 2 Episode 7 — The Place They Led Me To Was…
I tore through the city, slipping past pedestrians with inhuman nimbleness, all for one thing — to save my Dad and Mom as fast as possible.
I heard startled voices here and there — “Wah!”, “Kya!” — but none of it mattered. Within minutes, I arrived at the「Demon-fist Raiders」clan’s building.
“Fuu...”
I steadied my rough breathing and stepped through the automatic doors. A man sitting nearby noticed me, stood, and walked over.
“You got here way earlier than we expected. I’m the one assigned to guide you… but what happened to those guys?”
“Forget that. Hurry up and take me to where my Dad and Mom are. I came here myself, so whatever happened to your buddies doesn’t matter.”
“…Fine. Follow me.”
I kept my rage leashed and forced myself to stay calm as I followed him. We took an elevator down to the basement, where a long hallway stretched out.
At the end stood a massive reinforced door. It opened automatically.
Beyond it was a circular arena, with a large group of Hunters waiting at the center.
The guide stepped between us and turned around.
“Now then, you being hailed as the fifth S-Rank Hunter — we’ve got one question to ask you.”
“I’ve got a question too. Where are my Dad and Mom?”
“Hey now, looks like you don’t understand the situation you’re in. Your parents’ fate depends on how you answer. Watch yourself, brat.”
“…”
“Let’s continue. What we want to ask is about your so-called solo conquest of the S-Rank Dungeon.”
“…”
“S-Rank Dungeons are the highest difficulty. Even other S-Rank Hunters, even Daiki-sama — the strongest S-Rank Hunter — couldn’t clear it.
…
And you, some rookie upstart, supposedly did it alone. You expect us to believe that?”
“You lot are simply deciding you can’t believe it. I provided the boss’s materials as proof.
…
The guild evaluated them and acknowledged the clear. Do you have any evidence their evaluation was false?”
“I’m saying it’s impossible by common sense. Someone who wasn’t even S-Rank couldn’t clear an S-Rank Dungeon alone.
…
You must have tricked the Guildmaster somehow to get an undeserved promotion.”
“You keep saying ‘common sense,’ but that’s just your personal assumption. And now you’re accusing me based on nothing but your own imagination? That is unjust.”
“...Looks like you still don’t get it. I said your answer decides your parents’ fate.”
“…”
“Alright, one more time. You tricked the Guildmaster somehow and gained S-Rank through improper means. That’s what happened, isn’t it?”
“…”
“Hurry up and answer! You want your parents killed!?”
“…Fine. But before that, show me my Dad and Mom. I want to see that they’re unharmed.”
“Tch, fine. …Show him.”
The VIP box behind the Hunter group suddenly became visible. It must have been a one-way mirror until now.
Inside were a man seated in a chair, two subordinates at his sides, and my parents bound and lying on the floor.
I tried to shout, but the view vanished the next instant, returning to a mirror.
The man spoke again.
“We granted your request. Now it’s our turn- … Yes. Yes, understood.”
He suddenly began talking to someone else.
“Before we get your answer, we’ll need to fix that insolent attitude of yours. We, as your seniors, will kindly educate you.”
“…”
“And don’t even think about defending yourself or fighting back. If you do, your parents die. Now put your equipment down and step back.”
I removed the《Optical Camouflage Robe》, the《High Ogre Gauntlets》and《High Ogre Greaves》.
I placed the《Death Venom Fangs of the Centipede King》,《Balmung》, and the Magic Pouch on the floor and backed away.
The man collected them, walked over to the Hunter group, and shouted—
“Alright, you lot! Give him all the ‘education’ you want!”
At that command, several Hunters charged forward.
