Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 12 — Silence of the Graveyard and the Second Egg
Due to the deployment of the special field, the undead summoned by Amortas Magia had entered a state where even【Holy Magic】, which should have been their natural weakness, no longer worked on them.
In that case, what about other elemental magic?
Fire, water, earth, wind, ice, lightning. He cast them one after another. Fire and lightning burned their bodies away, while water, earth, wind, and ice shattered them apart.
However…
The scattered ashes gathered together once more, and the shattered bones creaked as they recombined. With a monstrous regenerative ability befitting the name “undead,” they bared their fangs at him again and again.
At this point, it was obvious.
Whether they were torn apart or annihilated entirely, it meant nothing as long as they regenerated. Destruction by bare hands or weapons would end the same way.
In other words, attacking the summoned monsters themselves was the mistake.
A classic approach, perhaps, but the most reliable strategy.
Strike down the caster directly.
Activating【Void Magic】, he instantly teleported behind Amortas Magia. Before it could react with【Vital Sense】, he immediately cast【Holy Magic】.
Holy light surged toward the heavens, engulfing Amortas Magia. Judgment of purification descended upon it, and its existence vanished without leaving even a trace behind.
『Level 111 UP』

『Spirit +67』
『Dexterity +40』
『Luck +47』
『Skill【Necromancy】Lv.9 UP』
『Skill Acquired【Thanatos Dominion】Lv.8』
Just as expected.
The moment the caster disappeared, the effects of【Thanatos Dominion】were lifted, and the distorted field gradually returned to its original form.
At that point, the remaining undead were nothing more than targets.
Without delay, he cast【Holy Magic】«Fujou Taisan • Turn Undead».
This time, the undead were not regenerated. They turned to ash, scattered into the wind, and vanished completely.
Silence returned to the ruined graveyard.
At its center, an extravagant treasure chest appeared as the dungeon clear reward.
Opening the lid-
“Amortas Magia’s magic stone and bones… and… seriously? Getting the same reward twice in a row?”
Inside the chest was a pitch-black egg.
“At this point… I can already guess what’s inside.”
Taking the egg into his hands, he activated【Appraisal】.
━━━━━━━━━━
《Amortas Magia Egg》
・Type: Living Creature
・Details:
- Contains an Amortas Magia hatchling.
- Can be hatched by injecting magic power while touching the egg.
・Condition: Good

…Just as I thought.
Still, getting the same reward consecutively was unusual. Did my fate really branch completely into a monster-husbandry route now?
Well, there was no point thinking too deeply about it.
He poured magic power into the egg, encouraging it to hatch.
Cracks spread from the top of the egg across the entire shell. Before long, a floating shadow emerged from within.
It was-
A one-meter-tall Amortas Magia hatchling.

E/N:
Just imagining an Amortas Magia calling Yuito "Papa" in the deep, batman-like voice is so damn hilarious 🤣🤣!
Stay tuned! (3/6 chapter)
