Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 10 — Raising the Toxic Cataclysm
The following day.
He had arrived at his second A-Rank dungeon.
Spread before him was a ruined graveyard field shrouded in a thick, freezing fog that clung to the skin.
The monsters appearing in this dungeon were Liches capable of using not only the four elemental magics, but also【Necromancy】.
“This time, it’s also for leveling up Samael. I want to hunt as many as possible.”
~wriggle~wriggle~wriggle~
Ideally, he would have liked Samael itself to fight and grow stronger, but he had no intention of endlessly farming low-rank dungeons just for that purpose.
His primary objective was the mutation enhancement of dungeon bosses and obtaining clear rewards. Samael’s training was merely a “side task”.
That said, there was no doubt that fighting monsters in high-rank dungeons was far more efficient for growth.
As he advanced through the ruined graveyard, a【Fire Magic】spell, «Hitousou • Fire Javelin», suddenly came flying toward him.
Twisting his body to evade it, he immediately generated a whirlwind with【Wind Magic】.
Then, using【Wind Dominion】to blow it upward, the attacker hiding beyond the fog was revealed.
A monster clad in a black robe over a skeletal body, wielding a staff tipped with a small skull, a Lich.
The Lich immediately activated【Necromancy】, summoning five Skeleton Knights and five Skeleton Magicians.
“—«Fujou Taisan • Turn Undead».”
The moment he activated【Holy Magic】, magic circles appeared beneath the undead, and pillars of light surged toward the heavens.
Bathed in sacred light, the skeletons turned to ash without even managing to scream, vanishing without a trace.
『Magic Power +27』
『Strength +16』
『Endurance +23』
『Agility +18』
『Intelligence +30』
『Spirit +29』
『Dexterity +18』
『Luck +18』
“As usual, there aren’t any skill level-up notifications… Anyway.”
He activated【Discernment】to check Samael’s growth.

“Five level-ups, huh… even in a high-rank dungeon, just a dozen or so enemies isn’t enough.”
If monsters would swarm like they had during the Troll War, he could raise it all at once.
There was also the option of restricting dungeon entry and letting monsters saturate the dungeon. However, considering the backlash from other hunters, it wasn’t realistic.
“…No, if I wanted to force it through, I could just pay everyone a few tens of millions and have them cooperate.”
He had more money than he could ever spend. Better to circulate it than let it rot unused.
“Even if I do that, I should consult the Guildmaster first.”
Muttering that, he looked forward.
“Until we reach the boss room, we’re hunting as much as possible. Samael, I need you to get stronger quickly.”
~wriggle~wriggle~wriggle~
He lightly stroked Samael, coiled around his right arm, and continued onward.
After that, he repeatedly found Liches, allowed them to summon Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Magicians, then wiped them all out together with【Holy Magic】.
And after hunting around thirty Liches.
At last, he discovered the entrance leading to the boss room.

E/N:
Power levelling ftw!!!
Anyway, why did I not upload throughout the week? Because, the first interview of my life that I gave sometime last week was a huge failure and I was depressed that I was not selected (I was just being a crybaby)…
It's not that I'm some prodigy irl or a top achiever in my Uni. I have failed many times in life; tests, experiments, competitions. I don't consider myself pampered but… I did have confidence in my communication skills and personality.
The damn interview has become like a dark history in my life so… Yeah, tldr; I felt like a loser and procrastinated in uploading. 😂😅
I'm uploading for this entire week, including Sunday so enjoy! (1/6 chapter)
Stay tuned!
