Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 20 — A Mythical Item That Missed the Mark
The moment I stepped through the dungeon entrance, I activated【Void Magic】and teleported in front of my house.
There was no way I could go shopping dressed like this. Covered in dust and sweat, I’d only end up bothering both the stores and the other customers.
After washing off the grime in the shower and changing into casual clothes, I finished getting ready properly. Once my preparations were complete, I teleported to the shopping mall I had visited before.
Focusing mainly on outdoor gear, I bought large quantities of preserved food and drinks as well. Everything I paid for was stored inside the《Magic Pouch》.
After leaving the store, I teleported back to the plaza in front of the S-Rank dungeon.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
Since the entry procedures were already complete, I headed straight back into the dungeon. Teleporting to where Samael and the others were waiting, I casually called out to them.
“Sorry for the wait.”
Looking around, Flame Wyvern corpses were scattered here and there. However, there were no signs of any other hunters’ bodies.
Good. At least the worst-case scenario has been avoided.
Letting out a relieved sigh, I stored the Wyvern corpses one after another into the《Magic Pouch》.
Once that was done, I turned my gaze toward Samael and the others.
“Alright, farming experience is over for now. From here on, to speed up your growth, we’ll keep farming the boss until the target item drops. Let’s move!”
~wiggle~wiggle~squirm~squirm~
~kata~kata~kata~kata~
~~~~~
Receiving their silent responses behind me, I headed toward the entrance leading to the boss chamber.
Eventually, I arrived at the long torchlit corridor. Standing before the massive door looming at the end, I pushed it open with force.
The moment I stepped into the center of the room, eleven spheres of light rained down from overhead.
As the light burst apart, ten Flame Wyverns and a Fire Dragon appeared.
The heavy roar released by the Fire Dragon shook the entire space. In response, violent flames erupted from cracks in the ground and rocks.
“Sorry to ruin your dramatic entrance, but… this ends instantly.”
Without taking a single step, I snapped my fingers.
The transparent mana sphere I released was immediately teleported right before the Fire Dragon’s snout using【Void Magic】.
The next moment-!
A dazzling explosion and rising cloud of smoke swallowed the dragon’s massive body whole.
『Magic Power +46』
『Strength +37』
『Endurance +64』
『Agility +42』
『Intelligence +50』
『Spirit +72』
『Dexterity +41』
『Luck +54』
As the notifications of increased stats flowed through my mind, the Fire Dragon’s death was confirmed.
A being superior to themselves had been blown away in a single strike. Faced with that reality, clear panic spread among the subordinate Flame Wyverns.
Exploiting that opening, I snapped my fingers repeatedly.
The mana spheres were teleported directly before them via【Void Magic】, giving them no chance to evade.
*KABOOM*KABOOM*KABOOM*
Not even chunks of flesh remained. Once the smoke cleared, there was nothing left behind.
“So even the boss of an S-Rank dungeon gets instantly killed, huh. Alright… let's see what’s inside the treasure chest…”
I opened the lid of the luxurious treasure chest that had appeared and checked its contents.
Materials such as the Fire Dragon’s magic stone and scales, and…
“…Leather armor?”
The instant I picked it up, a sensation like lingering heat spread across my fingertips.
“Ah, don’t tell me…”
With a bad feeling creeping up on me, I activated【Appraisal】.

It was simply the complete elemental counterpart to the《Ocean Sovereign's Leather Armor》I was already wearing.
“I mean… it’s not like I’m unhappy about it. But this isn’t what I wanted…”
(E/N: Just don't say it, dude. The dungeon's greed sensor will activate!)
Mythical-grade equipment was something only a tiny fraction of even S-Rank hunters could ever obtain. The fact that I was casually acquiring them like this already made me absurdly fortunate.
And yet, I still found myself chasing the ideal.
Humans truly are greedy creatures.
“Alright. We’ll head back outside through the magic circle once. Then it’s time for another dungeon run!”
Preparing for the next cycle, I began moving once more.
