Soul Devourer Chapter 3 Episode 7 — Unsettling Movements Grow More Active
While Yuito was discovering the entrance leading to the boss room and walking down the long corridor lit by torches, the hunters belonging to「Grimm Reaper」began their operations across various locations.
In a certain C-rank dungeon, a suspicious group clad in white masks with crescent-shaped slits and pitch-black robes was trudging through the field in a loose formation.
Their targets were not monsters, but… fellow hunters.
After confirming there were no other parties nearby, they launched a surprise attack on a party that was in the middle of fighting monsters.
“Y-You bastards!? You’re「Grimm Reaper」, aren’t you!? Why are you trying to kill us!?”
“…”
“D-Damn it! Please! I’m begging you — just spare my li-!!”
Before the man could finish speaking, his head was severed by someone other than the one he was facing.
After wiping out the entire party, they collected all of the fallen hunters’ equipment and belongings, then immediately began searching for their next target.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
This was a certain A-rank dungeon. Even in this place, where the environment was harsh and the difficulty of subjugating monsters was higher, members of「Grimm Reaper」had appeared.
Even within「Grimm Reaper」, A-rank hunters were a valuable fighting force.
For that reason, in order to avoid losses as much as possible, they were moving in groups of around twenty people here, more than in other locations.
However, with such a large number moving together in uniform attire, perceptive individuals would sense something amiss and leave the dungeon.
That, of course, would interfere with their mission.
Thus, taking advantage of their numerical superiority, they moved swiftly to surround isolated parties.
Their opponents were veterans who had risen to A-rank, but they themselves were also A-rank… and there were twenty of them.
With such a difference in numbers, the outcome was obvious.
They overwhelmed their targets with sheer magical firepower, then had close-combat specialists deliver the finishing blows once the enemy was on the brink of death.
“You guys! Stop looting for now! Monsters are coming!”
Naturally, monsters attacked without regard for their situation, but with this many people, dealing with them was relatively easy.
“Alright! Let’s move on to the next one!”
Across various regions,「Grimm Reaper」continued to hunt hunters methodically.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
Even inside dungeons, moving this boldly ensured that information would spread through witnesses.
The incidents were picked up by television and SNS, fueling anxiety not only among hunters, but also among the civilians who depended on them for protection.
The Hunter Guild was, of course, aware of the situation, but the enemy’s strength and scale were simply too great, leaving them perpetually on the back foot.
For the time being, the guild requested the capture or extermination of「Grimm Reaper」from major clans such as「King of Swords」,「Ifrit Legion」, and「Valkyries of Restoration」.
In addition, the Hunter Guild mobilized all of its special task forces in an effort to resolve the situation.
If they failed, the population of hunters, those responsible for resource acquisition and the protection of the people, would decline, and as a result, the nation’s citizens would be threatened by monsters or even other countries.
That was something that had to be avoided at all costs.
As an insurance, the guild master took out his phone, intending to request the cooperation of the man believed to be the greatest fighting force in the country.
