Soul Devourer Chapter 4 Episode 7 — Near Total Annihilation | Survivors are Sources of Information
Even though this area was technically within the city, albeit with no civilians or residential buildings nearby, the hunters showed no hesitation in unleashing their magic in front of the dungeon entrance.
Facing the barrage of spells rushing in from above and ahead, I crossed my arms over my head and took a defensive stance.
The moment the spells struck, a thunderous roar erupted, and thick clouds of dust billowed up, a brief silence dominating the scene.
The result, I was unscathed. Among the attacks were spells cast by those B-Rank and below.
Between my various magic resistances and the effects of〘Transcendent〙, they were nullified. Not a single attack managed to damage me.
Leaping out from the swirling dust, I used【Earth Magic】to generate a throwing spear in my hand.
Midair, I hurled it with【Throwing】at the swordsman standing at the front of the group.
With a tremendous whistling sound, the spear shot forward like a meteor, obliterating the swordsman’s head before slamming into the ground.
A booming crash echoed outward, cracks spreading like a spiderweb as the surrounding hunters staggered and lost their balance.
Landing lightly, I drew the《Water Dragon's Naval Aglyphs》from my《Magic Pouch》, activated【Stealth】, and dashed forward.
「He vanished! Set up the《Lantern of Unveiling》immediately!」
Though the previous strike had disrupted their encirclement, a single shouted command restored their formation as they frantically scanned their surroundings.
「Damn it! Where’d he go?! Stop hiding and show your-!!」
「Huh?! His head just-!? Ghk! Where is he?! Where are-?!! Gah-!…」
「This is bad! The lantern’s radius is too small to cover everything!」
Their decision to cluster together had backfired.
I tore through their ranks like a gale, beheading some as I passed, plunging daggers into others’ hearts, steadily thinning their numbers.
To them, it must have looked like blood spraying everywhere, comrades dropping one after another like dominoes.

They did not falter as their numbers dwindled. When【Stealth】expired and I reappeared, delight lit up their faces as they charged with their weapons.
Unmoved by the onslaught, I deflected a descending longsword with one dagger and thrust the other into the wielder’s throat.
「Gah-!…」
Dodging a sharply thrust spear, I shattered it with a knee strike, grabbed the broken shaft, and hurled it into its owner’s forehead with【Throwing】.
「Kguh-!!」
Catching a sweeping greatsword with one dagger, I drove the other into its owner’s heart.
I planted the discarded greatsword into the ground and used it as a foothold to leap upward.
“【Cast Priming】• «Sun Fall» •【Azure Inferno】• «Icicle Rain»”
Looking down at them, I generated a massive blazing sun with【Fire Magic】and enhanced it with【Azure Inferno】, placing it in a【Cast Priming】state.
Then I unleashed a rain of icicles with【Ice Magic】.
「GuaaaaAAAAHHHH! M-My arm-!?!」
「T-There’s too many to dodge-!!!」
「Those with【Earth Magic】or【Ice Magic】, erect barriers overhead immediately! The rest of you mages and archers, aim at him!」
They struggled desperately to resist, but the «Sun Fall» in standby activated mercilessly.
The blazing blue sun swallowed their attacks, ignored even their sturdy barriers, and fell upon the fleeing hunters from above.

“That’s about taken care of. I wasn’t going all out, so a few survived here and there. Perfect, I’ll capture them alive and find out exactly what their objective was in attacking me.”

E/N:
Holy shmokes! I edited the Gore tag in for this WN on NU long time ago but… I wasn't wrong one bit! Even without the effects of〘Serial Killer〙, Yuito obliterated these poor bast*rds, without a hint of remorse.
My God, Allah, Jesus, Buddha and millions or billions of deities around the world! Did you not give survival instinct to these small fries?
Was the first attack, where a guy's head was erased out of existence, not enough of a warning?! Damn!
Stay tuned! And let's hope for more fodder for Yuito's growth!
