Soul Devourer Chapter 2 Episode 25 — The Spoils of the Formicid War

After finishing my business at the Hunter Guild’s Kyoto Branch, I caught a taxi and headed toward a B-rank dungeon.

I arrived at the destination without much delay, but instead of entering the dungeon right away, I sat down on a nearby bench and drank some green tea I’d bought at a convenience store.

Alright, let’s check my status!

━━━━━━━━━━

As a result of defeating roughly 220 Soldier Ants, both larvae and adults combined, along with the S-rank monster Empress Ant, my level jumped by 14, and my attributes increased by an average of 4,500.

This was the biggest growth I’ve had so far, and unlike with the Fire Dragon, the fact that I could defeat the Empress Ant in an instant makes this outcome only natural.

Next, regarding skills; I only acquired two new ones, and only those two saw their levels increase.

Since I fought only a single type of monster, and the skills possessed by the Soldier Ants were already high-level across the board, it was a disappointing result.

Lastly, just like my attributes, skill points also increased significantly. With 20 points, I can fully cap two level 9 skills.

The skills that have currently reached level 9 are;

━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━

There are 24 skills that have reached level 9. The question is which ones to fully cap.

Considering my current attributes, usage frequency, and priorities, that narrows it down to the «Perception-type» and «Support-type».

In the end, I decided to choose two out of these four;【Presence Detection】,【Mana Detection】,【Presence Concealment】, and【Mana Concealment】.

However,【Presence Detection】and【Mana Detection】aren’t all that important.

Even though their effective range is limited due to lower skill levels, I have【Life Detection】, which allows me to see through opponents trying to hide with【Stealth】.

That leaves【Presence Concealment】and【Mana Concealment】, which are possessed not only by Hunters but also by monsters.

Those are the obvious choices.

『Skill【Presence Concealment】Lv.10 UP』

『Skill【Mana Concealment】Lv.10 UP』

This should also increase the amount of excess experience I gain.

“Well then, let’s go.”

I stood up and started walking toward the dungeon entrance.

E/N:

The Assassin God Class isn't impossible at this point 😂! Reminds of that one "Rule Breaker" novel, iykyk 😎!

FYI, "Formicid", derived from "Formicidae", the scientific name of family that ants belong to, 😂!

Stay tuned!
