Soul Devourer Chapter 4 Episode 4 — No Matter the Country, There Are Always PKers
Just like the others, I defeated the third Flame Giant, Muspel, using the combo of【Water Magic】,【Riptide】, and【Ki Martial Arts】.
After picking up the magic stone and storing it in my《Magic Pouch》, I stepped forward to proceed… and at that very moment, I detected mana rapidly approaching from behind.
Tilting my head, I narrowly avoided the mana closing in on the back of my head and turned around.
“…So they were hunters after all.”
The attackers were hunters from this country. Judging by their numbers, there seemed to be three parties.
“No matter the country, there are always a certain number of these types…”
(E/N: Yare yare daze… 😮💨)
「Ha! Ha! Ha! To dodge that surprise attack, even if you’re from a weak nation, S-Rank is still S-Rank.
…
But you’re nothing more than a frog in a well. You’re no match for us, who clash with countless rivals every single day!」
“…I have no idea what you’re saying.”
「You bastards, the bounty goes to whoever gets him first!」
“““““WOOOOOOO!”””””
“Sounds like they’re getting fired up, but… even if I don’t understand the language, I can tell they’re fully intent on killing me.”
I pulled out the《Water Dragon's Naval Aglyphs》from my《Magic Pouch》and dashed forward in one swift motion.
Immediately, they entered combat stance, and magic of every attribute rained down like a torrential storm.
Destroying incoming magic attacks with the《Black Ogre Emperor ◯◯◯》series as I advanced, I closed the distance to a certain extent and activated【Stealth】, erasing my presence.
「Now! Use the item!」
At the man’s command, one of his comrades took something like a lantern out of their《Magic Pouch》and placed it on the ground.
He then lit the lantern with【Fire Magic】.
The area within a ten-meter radius was illuminated, and their gazes locked directly onto me— despite my body being concealed by【Stealth】.
“Don't tell me… There’s an item that nullifies【Stealth】? As expected of a hunter superpower.”
Since I couldn’t use【Covert Strike】through【Stealth】, I stopped in place and activated【Ice Magic】.
“«Frozen Ground»”
＊Piki＊ ＊Piki＊ ＊Paki＊ ＊Paki＊
(E/N: *SFX for rapid ice formation*)
Even though the field was wrapped in the intense heat of a sea of flames, my magic easily transformed it into frigid frozen earth.
「Damn it, my feet!」
「Even my【Fire Magic】isn’t working on this ice at all!」
「Calm down! In this environment, the ice will eventually melt! Don’t let up on the attacks!」
Snapped back by the man’s voice, they unleashed a rain of fireballs and lightning strikes.
Lightly bounding through the barrage of spells, I evaded them and released flying slashes with【Slash Arts】.
Pinned in place, unable to move, they watched the approaching slashes with terror-stricken expressions, screaming as their bodies were cleaved in two.

E/N:
Too bad for these little insects, comparing Yuito's stats to any S-Ranker was the biggest and last mistake they made… Thanks for the food, though 🤣!
Stay tuned!
