Soul Devourer Chapter 3 Episode 10 — A Call from the Guildmaster
After defeating the mutated and strengthened version of the original boss Almighty Snowman, namely Almighty Snow King, I reached out toward the treasure chest that appeared before me as the conquest reward.
Inside the chest were the boss materials and… a golden, brilliantly shining orb. The moment I picked it up, an announcement echoed in my mind.
『This is a《Skill Level-Up Orb》. It allows you to increase the level of a selected skill by one level』
When the announcement ended, a window listing all skills appeared before my eyes.
The skills I already possessed were marked with their current levels and labeled as [Acquired].
After scrolling through the window and finishing a general check, I decided to raise the level of【Conversion】.
However, before that, I used skill points to raise【Conversion】’s level.
『Skill【Conversion】Lv.8 UP』
Then, borrowing the power of the《Skill Level-Up Orb》, I raised【Conversion】’s level even further.
『Skill【Conversion】has been selected. Increasing【Conversion】’s level from 8 to 9…』
『Skill【Conversion】Lv.9 UP』
The golden orb, having fulfilled its role, turned into glowing particles and vanished.
Previously, when I cleared the B-rank dungeon where I obtained【Warp】, I had pulled a《Skill Point Orb》, something that could only be obtained extremely rarely…
But this orb was something I had never seen before.
Most likely, it’s a rare orb that can only be obtained by defeating S-rank monsters, which would explain why there’s hardly any information about it online.
I stored the boss materials from the chest, along with the corpses of the Yetis and Snow Maidens scattered across the field, into my《Magic Pouch》, then returned outside using the magic circle.

Once outside, I turned on my phone to check the current time. Several missed calls from the same number popped up.
Wondering who it was, I called back and the person on the other end turned out to be the Hunter Guild’s guildmaster.
━━━━━━━━━━
“Ah, Hunter Matsubara! I’m glad I managed to reach you! I’m Ogawa, the guildmaster.”
“Good to hear from you, Guildmaster. What’s the matter?”
“Actually, right now, members of「Grimm Reaper」are out slaughtering hunters across the country. Because of that, we’d like to request that you either capture or eliminate any member of「Grimm Reaper」.”
“Do you know the reason why this is happening?”
“No, not at all. They suddenly began rampaging on a large scale without any clear connection. According to hunters who escaped, they surround parties with groups of around ten people and slaughter them.”
“I see. But even if I act alone —”
“No, we’ve already made requests to major clans such as「King of Swords」,「Ifrit Legion」, and「Valkyries of Restoration」.”
“Then wouldn’t that be enough?”
“That’s the problem. They seem to be targeting hunters of C-rank and above, and there have already been casualties among A-rank hunters.”
“…”
They’re even targeting high-level hunters? I didn’t think「Grimm Reaper」had that kind of force…
“When engaging A-rank parties,「Grimm Reaper」appears to attack in groups of around twenty. That’s why we want you to handle them, Hunter Matsubara.”
“Understood. I’m currently in Hokkaido. Should I return to Tokyo first?”
“If I remember correctly, there should be an A-rank dungeon over there.”
“There is. I was clearing it just a short while ago.”
“Were you alright, Hunter Matsubara?”
“There were no issues.”
“That’s good to hear. Then I’ll confirm things again with the Hokkaido branch of the Hunter Guild and call you back.”
“Understood.”
“Well then, excuse me.”
━━━━━━━━━━
After ending the call, I looked around once more. However, I didn’t see any hunters or staff members acting particularly frantic.
「Grimm Reaper」probably wasn’t here but, for now, I decided to wait calmly for the guildmaster’s return call.
