Soul Devourer Chapter 3 Episode 37 — The Gap in Power… Anticipating the Clear Rewards

Editor:
Walking down the long corridor lit by torchlight, I opened the massive door to the boss room and stepped inside.

Eleven orbs of light descended from above, revealing ten Ogre Berserkers and…

A monster nearly twice the height of an Ogre Berserker, one that could rightly be called a giant, the Ogre King, appeared.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a monster that required extreme effort to defeat.

One would have to beware of the punches and kicks launched from a body like a skyscraper, and break through thick muscle-like armor with high resistance to both physical and magical attacks.

Originally, this was a monster A-rank hunters were meant to challenge in a party, but a boss that merely has high stats and skill levels can be easily taken down with a surprise attack using【Stealth】.


“Well, the one I’m interested in is the boss after mutation enhancement.”


I immediately took out the《Death Venom Fangs of Centipede King》from my《Magic Pouch》and vanished using【Stealth】.

I dashed through the Ogre Berserkers as they desperately scanned their surroundings for me, cutting off their heads one after another.

The moment I returned to my original position and reappeared, all the Ogre Berserkers’ heads dropped to the floor simultaneously. It all happened in an instant.


『Level 99 UP』

『Magic Power +16』

『Strength +20』

『Endurance +31』

『Agility +18』

『Intelligence +16』

『Spirit +31』

『Dexterity +16』

『Luck +20』


“The nuisances are gone. It’s just you and me now. Go on… show me how you mutate.”


Though the Ogre King couldn’t understand my words, it reached for the corpses of its fallen subordinates to avenge them, devouring their magic stones.

Once it consumed all the magic stones, the mutation began.

Its skyscraper-like body rapidly shrank and settled at around three meters tall, while its red skin darkened to black.

The change wasn’t just cosmetic, its stats and skill levels rose as well, and the Ogre King underwent mutation enhancement into an Ogre Emperor.


“GROOOAAARGH!”


It let out a roar imbued with【Sovereign Aura】, then vanished from sight in an instant.

Moving at a speed that could be mistaken for teleportation, the Ogre Emperor closed in and sharply swung a punch straight at my face.

However, that fierce punch was easily caught with one hand.

Next came a kick, swung toward my face with the same force, and once again, it was stopped with a single hand.


“Attacks at that level won’t defeat me. So I’ll push you until【Berserk】activates.”


Activating【Discipline】, I lightly jumped in place, spun my body, and sent the Ogre Emperor flying with a roundhouse kick.

Its three-meter-tall body was launched like a bullet, and the Ogre Emperor fell silent. But since no notifications for stats or skills appeared, it was still alive.

I fixed my gaze on it and slowly walked forward. The Ogre Emperor slowly rose to its feet and let out another roar.

Its beast-like eyes burned crimson as it roared with such force that the air itself seemed to tremble.

Sacrificing its reason, the Ogre Emperor’s Strength, Endurance, and Agility were amplified to roughly three times their original values.

It rushed at me with incredible speed and launched a kick aimed at the left side of my head.

The power transmitted through my blocking left arm was incomparably stronger than before… but even with enhancement, an S-rank-equivalent monster’s stats only reached around 3,000.

Even after being strengthened, the gap between my stats and the Ogre Emperor’s was nearly eightfold.

In other words, it was never a real opponent to begin with.

Unaware of the overwhelming difference in our power, the Ogre Emperor rampaged uselessly as I ended it by blasting its head away with a kick, and its headless body collapsed to the ground.


『Magic Power +37』

『Strength +46』

『Endurance +69』

『Agility +41』

『Intelligence +37』

『Spirit +69』

『Dexterity +37』

『Luck +46』

『Skill【Berserk】Lv.8 UP』

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:

                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a class transfer   to another world . While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident… so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls, and even some pretty boys, who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...
