Soul Devourer Chapter 4 Episode 6 — A Large Crowd of Hunters Lying in Wait
After defeating Surtr, the Flame Giant King who commanded ten Muspels, I placed my hand on the treasure chest that appeared before me.
Inside was the boss’s magic stone, and a greatsword with a blade bearing violently blazing flames.
━━━━━━━━━━
《Lævateinn》
・Type: Greatsword
・Effects:
① Generates and emits flames that remain unextinguishable until the target is reduced to ashes;
② Indestructible;
③ Strength +80, Dexterity +80
・Rank: Mythical
━━━━━━━━━━
I immediately checked the details with【Appraisal】, but effect ① is outrageous.
Flames that won’t disappear until the target is burned to ashes? If you’re hit by that, it’s basically certain death.
If I ever face someone wielding this type of weapon, I absolutely must avoid close combat and maintain distance, attacking relentlessly from afar.
Still, depending on the abilities of Mythical-class equipment or Unique Skills of equal tier, would it be possible to resist them?
It’s far too risky to test on myself, but if there’s a convenient opponent and I have the leeway, I should try verifying it on them.
After storing the conquest rewards in my《Magic Pouch》, I hurried toward the magic circle, since Jin was waiting outside, and transferred out of the dungeon.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
Back outside the dungeon, I was about to head to the guild’s branch office to sell materials… when I stopped.
A large crowd of hunters had gathered, surrounding the dungeon entrance.
There were clearly more of them than when I arrived.
Is this some clan expedition? Just as I was thinking that, one hunter pointed at me and shouted, and all their gazes turned toward me.
“Hey now, they look fully intent on killing me.”
The atmosphere of the hunters staring at me was anything but friendly, rather, their eyes resembled beasts that had found their prey.
Trying to find a way to break this situation, I scanned the area for Jin, but there were too many people to spot him.
“More importantly, why am I being targeted?”
I had only just arrived in this country, and I hadn’t done anything to provoke other hunters or clans.
Even if they simply disliked a foreign hunter, this scale was excessive.
Even if they defeated me, the most they would gain would be my equipment and belongings.
Considering the possibility of being counter-killed, it didn’t seem like much of an advantage… unless there was some benefit.
No… there must be.
The ones standing before me were proof of that.
In that case, I’ll capture a few alive and make them talk. Jin can handle the translation.
And so, I turned my gaze toward the barrage of magic flying at me all at once.
