Soul Devourer Chapter 4 Episode 23 — At the End of the Storm, Silence Reigns
The fierce clash between the Heavenly Hunter King and the young hunter had finally reached its conclusion.
The king who ruled the skies lost his wings, and the young hunter who ran upon the earth gained new power.
———
With the dungeon boss, Wild Hunter, Gryfa, defeated, the raging storm ceased as if it had all been a lie.
Silence.
As though the howling winds and thunder from moments before had been an illusion, the world fell still.
Breaking that silence was the system's mechanical voice.
『Magic Power +55』
『Strength +42』
『Endurance +64』
『Agility +51』
『Intelligence +50』
『Spirit has +69』

The power of the king who ruled the skies was own.
The massive body of Gryfa, fallen to the ground, dissolved into particles and dispersed. As the remnants faded into the air, a lavish treasure chest appeared before me.
Thud, my heart pounded hard.
“Alright… what’s the reward this time?”
I opened the lid and checked inside. A large magic stone. Wings radiating white light. And a pair of jet-black boots.
Along the sides of the boots, silver patterns were engraved, resembling streaks of lightning.
I activated【Appraisal】. Information appeared in a window.

“…Straight-line only, huh.”
I let out a small sigh.
If not for that restriction, I could have run freely through enemy lines and wiped them out.
Still, as equipment of Mythical Class, it was undeniably powerful. I would make good use of it.
I tried them on. They were extremely light and fit my feet so well that I almost questioned whether I was wearing anything at all.
After storing the boss materials in《Magic Pouch》, I stepped onto the return magic circle.
My vision was painted pure white, and after a brief sensation of weightlessness, the outside air brushed against my cheeks.
Noise. Passing through the plaza filled with moving hunters, I called out to the person who had been waiting.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Good work, Matsubara Hunter. How was the dungeon?”
“I enjoyed it very much. Compared to the others so far, it felt more difficult.”
“So you felt that as well, Hunter Matsubara… The harsh environment caused by the violent winds and the monsters that launch surprise attacks from the sky.
…
Many hunters have attempted it, but most fail to even reach the boss room.”
“Have you tried it yourself, Jin-san?”
“Yes. However, I could not make it to the boss room.”
Jin gave a wry smile, perhaps recalling that time.
“Now then, please handle the sale of the materials.”
“Understood.”
We completed the sale procedures at the guild branch office. The offered purchase amount was 51 million yuan. Approximately 1.1 billion yen.
“…As expected, S-rank dungeons really are a dream.”
“Yes, though as compensation for risking one’s life, it may be appropriate.”
Indeed, as compensation for staking one’s life, no, perhaps it was even too little.
Jin opened the car door. After giving a light nod, I got into the back seat.
The engine started, and the car set off toward the next destination, the fourth S-rank dungeon.
