Soul Devourer Chapter 3 Episode 5 — A Boss’ Skill… Materials Lost!

By acquiring【Snowglide】, I was now able to run across snow-covered ground, where footing is usually unstable, at almost the same speed as running on normal terrain.

And by acquiring【Frost Resistance】, the coldness was greatly reduced, allowing me to fight at full strength even in this field.

“Left front, one group. Right front, two groups… all right,【Taunt】!”

After confirming that they were all within range, I activated【Taunt】. At once, the monsters’ hostility within the area turned toward me, and they came rushing in at tremendous speed.

“I’ll take the left side first!”

I burst forward, and a Snow Maiden created countless icicles, raining them down over my head.

I cut down every one that would hit my body with my twin daggers and fixed my aim on the annoying Snow Maiden, but a Yeti had already closed the distance and swung its mighty arm.

As it raised that arm, I had already slipped behind it, driving my daggers deep into both of the Yeti’s legs before once again focusing on the Snow Maiden.

“«Fire Javelin【Azure Inferno】»”

Further enhancing the javelin created with【Fire Magic】with【Azure Inferno】, I took help from【Throwing】skill and hurled it at the Snow Maiden.

The Snow Maiden hastily formed an ice wall, but the heat of the azure-flamed spear caused it to evaporate in an instant, and the attack continued on to pierce straight through the Snow Maiden.

When I turned back, the Yeti, its legs pinned by my daggers, was approaching me with a pained expression.

“I’ll put you out of your misery now.”

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. With my muscles hardened by【Ki Surge】and my speed boosted by the active【Dash】, I closed the distance in an instant and leapt high.

I drove my heel into the crown of the Yeti’s head, burying its massive body into the snow and sending a great spray of snow into the air.

Then I spun around —

“Next, it’s your turn!”

♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢

Up ahead, two Yetis formed enormous snowballs and simultaneously【Threw】them.

(E/N: Throwing to Threw, simple!)

I shattered them as if swatting away insects, but my body ended up buried in snow.

Seizing that opening, two Snow Maidens generated a huge number of icicles and ice swords above my head.

The moment they rained down, I escaped with【Warp】and sprinted toward them.

Since there was still some distance, the two Yetis began forming giant snowballs again, winding up for another throw.

Seeing that, I erased my presence with【Stealth】. With their prey suddenly gone, they frantically scanned their surroundings.

While they were distracted, I closed the gap, grabbed one Yeti’s massive leg, and swung it hard, sending both it and the other Yeti flying.

That took out the frontline that had been acting as their shield.

Turning back to the two Snow Maidens, I saw massive icicles bearing down over my head.

I stabbed my daggers into the snow and cracked my knuckles, then effortlessly smashed the falling giant icicles to pieces.

“Here’s payback!”

Gripping the daggers embedded in the snow, I【Threw】both of them at the two Snow Maidens.

At that instant, the huge fists of the two Yetis came crashing down from above. I leapt back reflexively;

“«Flame Pillar【Azure Inferno】»”

A pillar of blue, roaring fire engulfed the two Yetis. When the flames died away, only magic stones remained on the spot.

“This was my first time using【Azure Inferno】, but it really incinerates the materials. As expected of a skill from an S-rank dungeon boss; it’s far too powerful against A-rank monsters.”

Since no skill levels increased in that battle, I continued hunting afterward.
