Soul Devourer Chapter 2 Episode 26 — The Forest Assassins’ Massacre
After completing the entry procedures and stepping through the dungeon entrance, a dense, overgrown forest spread out before my eyes.
I immediately blended into the surrounding scenery with the《Retroreflective Robe》, and instead of《Balmung》, I gripped the《Death Venom Fangs of the Centipede King》in both hands.
On top of that, I erased my presence with【Presence Concealment】and【Mana Concealment】, moving lightly between the trees.
Found you!
Leaning my shoulder against a tree, I spotted a monster aiming at a party on the other side.
It was small, about the same height as a goblin, wearing a bright red pointed cap and gripping daggers in both hands; a Redcap.
Judging from its possessed skills through【Discernment】, it had【Covert Strike】,【Presence Concealment】,【Mana Concealment】, and【Stealth】, earning it the moniker of a forest assassin, just like the Kobold Assassin.
And since they attack in groups, there were likely several Redcaps lurking around that party.
That party hadn’t entered a combat stance yet, so this wouldn’t count as stealing their prey.
“Gugya!”
Using【Stealth】to completely erase my form, I closed the distance in an instant and severed the Redcap’s neck from behind.
『Magic Power +7』
『Strength +9』
『Endurance +7』
『Agility +7』
『Intelligence +7』
『Spirit +7』
『Dexterity +9』
『Luck +12』
Hearing the Redcap’s dying cry, the party on the other side jumped in surprise and raised their guard, while the remaining Redcaps began moving toward me.
Leaving the corpse where it was, I leapt up toward a tree branch and waited for the others to arrive.
Then, the moment they exposed an opening upon seeing their comrade’s body, I attacked from above.

By the time I found the entrance leading to the boss room, I had defeated around fifty Redcaps. My level went up, but none of my existing skills leveled up.
Well, I did accumulate a bit of excess experience, so I’ll call it a win.
When I entered the boss room, a sphere of light descended and the dungeon boss appeared.
A monster slightly larger than a Redcap; the Redcap Leader.
The moment it appeared, it flashed a vulgar grin and vanished with【Stealth】. Convinced of its victory, the Redcap Leader swiftly moved behind me and aimed its dagger at my neck.
“«Lightning Strike»”
When I murmured those words, a raging bolt of lightning reduced the Redcap Leader to ashes.

For someone who had just recently annihilated numerous A-rank monsters and even S-rank monsters in an instant, this was child’s play.
You really only feel any resistance in A-rank dungeons or higher. The boss rooms favor the boss, and they even lead lower-ranked species into battle… it’s a lot of fun.
“The A-rank dungeon in Hokkaido is a snowy plain, and the one in Okinawa is basically the ocean. I’ve got to challenge those at least once!”
And once I conquer all the A-rank dungeons in the country, I want to try taking on S-rank dungeons overseas.
“What kind of monsters are there, and what kind of skills do they have…?”
Lost in thoughts of the future, I reached for the treasure chest. Inside were the boss materials and… a collar? A choker? Something like that.
“Dungeon crawling has little surprises like this too, which is why I can’t quit. I wonder what kind of item this is.”
I quickly stepped onto the magic circle and teleported outside.

E/N:
🤣 Instant Kill! But I agree, Yuito needs to conquer S-Rank Dungeons overseas too!
Also, apologies for not including《Retroreflective Robe》in Volume 1 Chapter 75, Status/Details. I had mistaken《Hermit's Robe》as aforementioned. Big mistake! ORZ!
Stay tuned!
