Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 14 — Traps, Living Armors, and the Growth of Toxic Cataclysm
The next day.
He arrived at the last A-Rank dungeon, a place riddled with traps such as pitfalls and poison arrows, while Living Armors, empty armors transformed into monsters, roamed throughout the dungeon.
As he walked through the plaza crowded with hunters, the stares piercing into him felt especially painful. Naturally, one reason was because he was a〘Regalia〙, but the main cause lay elsewhere.
Right now, silently slithering beside him was Samael, the Toxic Cataclysm.
During yesterday’s dungeon conquest, Samael had reached level 40. As a result, its total length had grown to roughly forty meters.
Even Yuuto had been shocked by that. Still, the Emperor Centipede, the real deal was one hundred meters long.
In that sense, perhaps this growth rate was only natural.
Though merely speculation, if it was forty meters at level 40, then it would likely reach fifty meters at level 50, and perhaps close to sixty meters at level 60 and so on.
“…At this point, it’s only a matter of time before Dad and Mom find out. There’s no way we can keep living together at home anymore.”
Once the dungeon conquest was over, he would have no choice but to consult the guild master. Honestly, he couldn’t think of any good solution on his own.
After finishing the entry procedures, he stepped through the dungeon entrance.
In an instant, his surroundings changed. A narrow corridor stretched endlessly ahead, its ceiling, floor, and walls all neatly paved with stone blocks.
The orange glow of torches placed at regular intervals flickered against the walls, causing his shadow to sway unnervingly.
The corridor was by no means wide. Yuuto rode atop Samael’s back, while Santa Muerte hovered beside him.
Whenever a pitfall suddenly opened beneath them, threatening to drop them into an abyss lined with blade traps, he teleported away with【Void Magic】.
Poison arrows fired from the walls were also neutralized by teleporting the arrows themselves elsewhere.
Brute-forcing their way through the traps, they eventually heard a sharp metallic clanging echo from deeper within the corridor as a Living Armor appeared.
Drawing《Skofnung》from the《Magic Pouch》, he activated【Slash Arts】.
With a single slash of the longsword, the full plate armor was bisected before it could even resist.
『Magic Power +16』
『Strength +20』
『Endurance +31』
『Agility +16』
『Intelligence +16』
『Spirit +29』
『Dexterity +20』
『Luck +20』
“This is easy…… hey, Santa Muerte. You can attack with magic too. Even if you run out of magic power, I can refill it immediately with【Mana Transfer】.”
×clack×clack×clack×
“Good. Just like before, we’re wiping out every last one while heading straight for the boss room.”
~wiggle~wiggle~squirm~
×clack×clack×clack×
…Those two were probably completely fired up as well.
As unpleasant metallic scraping echoed from deeper within the corridor, the Living Armors recklessly charged toward them one after another, and were swiftly exterminated in turn.
Eventually, the massive door leading to the boss room came into view.
As though wearing a fearless grin, it stood heavily in their path, blocking the way forward.
