Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 15 — The Isolated Battlefield, A Lone Decisive Battle
He pushed open the massive doors to the boss room.
A vast chamber surrounded on all sides by orderly stone walls. The moment he stepped into the center, eleven spheres of light rained down from above.
The instant the spheres shone brilliantly, ten Living Armors and a Dullahan appeared.
At the same moment, he activated【Slash Arts】.
With a single sweep of《Skofnung》, ten slashes tore through the air in an instant, cleaving the Living Armors clean in two.

『Luck +20』
Magic stones rolled out from the shattered remains of the full plate armor.
Yuito silently watched the scene unfold.
The Dullahan lifted its own head with both hands and consumed the magic stones one by one. With each stone it swallowed, the oppressive aura surrounding it swelled further.
The moment it devoured the last magic stone, black miasma enveloped the Dullahan’s entire body.
After remaining in that state for some time…
The black miasma burst apart all at once.
Standing there now was a knight-like monster clad in jet-black armor, wielding a greatsword and shield nearly as large as itself… the monster named Sleepy Hollow.
Its stats and skill levels had naturally been enhanced to the equivalent of S-Rank. In addition to that, it possessed a new skill,【Death March】.
“I wonder what kind of skill that is…”
Excitement welled up within him at the prospect of obtaining another new power.
Then, the very next moment-
A translucent barrier suddenly tore through space, isolating only him and Sleepy Hollow.
Outside the barrier, Samael and Santa Muerte rushed toward him, but the translucent wall blocked their path, preventing them from reaching him.
At the same time, ten Living Armors appeared behind Sleepy Hollow.
The instant he saw them, Yuito reflexively slammed a slash into the translucent wall.
At this rate, Samael and Santa Muerte outside the barrier would be targeted.
However, no matter how many times he swung his sword, not even his immense strength could leave a single crack in the wall.
“Damn…! Then I’ll just escape with【Void Magic】-!”
But【Void Magic】failed to activate.
When he tested other spells, they functioned without issue. It wasn’t that magic itself was being suppressed.
Only【Void Magic】was being specifically nullified.
As unease rose within him and his gaze searched for a breakthrough, he noticed something strange.
The Living Armors that had appeared outside the isolated space weren’t moving at all.
Moreover, looking closely, their lower bodies seemed translucent. On top of that, even【Discernment】couldn’t display their status.
“…Could it be they aren’t living monsters at all?”
That was the conclusion he arrived at.
If they were normal Living Armors, they would have immediately bared their fangs at Samael and Santa Muerte.
Then why had they appeared, he didn’t know, but at the very least, there was no immediate danger.
“In that case, this is simple.”
Yuuto leveled the tip of his longsword at Sleepy Hollow and glared sharply.
“I’ll crush you quickly and get out of here. I’ll finish this in an instant.”

Anyway, has any of you ever played the game Exiled Kingdoms? There's a Warrior advanced skill called Duel in it, I was somehow reminded of it seeing this new skill, idk!
Stay tuned! (6/6)
