Soul Devourer Chapter 4 Episode 44 — Blazing Flames, Barrages And Unscathed Rampage
Perhaps enraged by the death of their comrade, their killing intent sharpened further.
The stabbing pressure of it burned against my skin, yet I was unmoved. If anything, exhilaration swelled up from deep within my chest.
It was〈Kowloon〉who broke the tense standoff. The magic-type Hunters simultaneously cast【Debuff Magic】at me.
「«Měng dú • Deadly Poison»!」
「«Má bì • Paralyze»!」
「«Máng mù • Blindness»!」
「«Shí huà • Petrification»!」
「«Hùn luàn • Confusion»!」
(E/N: The words in bold are Chinese pronunciations, not Japanese. I kept them for immersion! 😂)
A torrent of status ailments rained down upon me.
But before my Spirit stat exceeding ten thousand and my high-level resistance skills, none of them took effect. There was no sign of me falling into incapacitation.
After finishing their volley of spells, they watched me for a split second, their gazes mixed with expectation and anxiety.
The moment they realized nothing had worked was when I kicked off the ground and began running.
“It doesn’t work, you bastards.”
As the distance closed instantly, the assassin-type hunters moved. Their outlines blurred like mist, and they vanished.
【Stealth】or【Phantom】.
But I had already activated my detection skills before the battle began. I could track them with【Vital Sense】, meaning they had used【Stealth】.
If it were【Phantom】, no detection ability could perceive them.
Then, there was no need to stop.
“«Fire Rain» •【Azure Inferno】!”
Countless fireballs formed above me, taking on a blue radiance as their heat surged. The air itself seemed to sizzle.
「W-What!? Blue flames!? «Land Wall»!」
「«Water Wall»!」
Walls of earth and water rose one after another, desperately trying to block the rain of azure fire.
But-!
「What!? Both «Land Wall» and «Water Wall» melted in an instant-??!!」
Unable to withstand the heat, both barriers dissolved, and the fireballs pierced straight through. Those too slow to escape screamed as they were swallowed by flame.
Their formation collapsed like a scattering nest of spiders. As some fled in panic, the assassin-type hunters advanced toward me without hesitation.
A sharp killing intent targeted my neck from behind. I crouched at the instant the blade approached, then turned and grabbed my attacker by the throat.
I wrenched his dagger away and drove it straight into his forehead.
『Magic Power +46』
『Strength +68』
『Endurance +81』
『Agility +55』
『Intelligence +46』
『Spirit +80』
『Dexterity +64』
『Luck +87』
『Skill【Stealth】Lv.9 UP』
(E/N: Stealth should already be at Lv.9 but… I guess we'll see what's what…)
Seeing their first attacker die instantly, the remaining assassins faltered. They revealed themselves all at once and retreated.
「From what I can see, you don’t have an item that reveals【Stealth】… what did you do?」
He questioned me in Chinese. I shrugged.
“Sorry. I don’t understand Chinese at all.”
The moment I replied, I sensed magic gathering overhead. I leapt back just as lightning crashed down, gouging the earth.
As dust rose, the magic-type hunters who had escaped the azure flames formed ranks, spreading out to surround me and the assassins.
The assassins retreated without taking their eyes off me, while behind them the magic-types unleashed another simultaneous barrage.
Countless beams of elemental light filled the air, converging toward me in a dazzling storm.
“Well, can’t dodge all of that.”
I muttered casually as I swung my limbs clad in the《Black Ogre Emperor-》Series, shattering spell after spell.
The destruction rate depends on the difference between my Spirit and their Intelligence…
Naturally, it was 100%.
Even as I destroyed them, new spells rushed in. A few struck me directly, but the《Queen Ant's Magic Carapace Armor》and my resistance skills completely nullified the damage.
With a thunderous roar, dust engulfed the battlefield as the barrage finally subsided.
When the dust thinned, I stood there, completely unharmed.
Their faces twisted. Killing intent wavered. Fear clogged their throats.
「N-No way…」
「He’s unscathed… after that many spells…?!」
「What… is he…?」
The instant I saw that fear, I stomped the ground.
The impact sank the earth, carving a massive crater. They lost their footing and fell, voiceless cries escaping them.
Amid the chaos, I cast【Water Magic】.
“«Ōtsunami • Tidal Wave»!”
A wall of water surged forward, sweeping them away as they scrambled to flee. When the force finally subsided, shallow water spread across the ground, soaking around our ankles.
Now the preparations were complete.
From here on…
It was time for one-sided slaughter.
