Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 6 — An Easy Clear, the Real Target Lies Ahead
As the existence of the “Fourth King” spread across the world and countries like Russia and the United States began making moves behind the scenes, the very person at the center of it all was visiting a certain A-Rank dungeon.
“…It’s been a while since I came here.”
What stretched out before him was a vast desert extending to the horizon. Winds laden with dry heat whipped up the sand, distorting the view like a heat haze.
As the field suggested, this was the first A-Rank dungeon he had ever set foot in.
The monsters that appeared here were desert predators covered head to toe in armor, Armored Centipedes.
So why return to an A-rank dungeon now?
There was only one reason.
To perform mutation enhancement on the dungeon boss.
He had already cleared all A-Rank dungeons in the country. However, there were three dungeons located in urban areas where he had yet to attempt boss mutation enhancement.
What kind of monster would a mutated boss become? And what kind of Mythical-grade item would be obtained as a reward for defeating it?
“…Well, mutated forms are about S-Rank level. Honestly, I’m not expecting much.”
If anything, what interested him more was the reward after clearing it.
Thinking that, he walked across the desert as casually as if taking a stroll through his neighborhood. Then, the one skill he had activated,【Vital Sense】, reacted.
Front-right, a shadow cutting through the sand at tremendous speed, kicking up sand violently as it advanced beneath the surface.
The next moment, an Armored Centipede burst out from beneath the sand, launching itself into the air and revealing its massive body. Its thick armored shell gleamed brilliantly under the artificial sunlight.
It descended from above, aiming to devour him, but suddenly, the surrounding sand transformed. Countless grains gathered and converged, forming massive chains that shot upward into the sky.
In an instant, they bound the Armored Centipede’s enormous body, suspending it midair.
The skill【Sand Dominion】, once used by Pharaoh, one of the bosses from a Chinese S-Rank dungeon.
Now, this entire desert was his domain.
He averted his gaze from the immobilized Armored Centipede and reached into the《Magic Pouch》.
What he pulled out was the longsword《Skofnung》.
He activated【Slash Arts】.
A single strike.
In the next instant, the Armored Centipede’s massive body was split clean in two, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud.
Notifications flowed through his mind.
『Magic Power +16』
『Strength +16』
『Endurance +31』
『Agility +16』
『Intelligence +16』
『Spirit +31』
『Dexterity +16』
『Luck +18』
“…Last time I came here, it only took one punch, but this time it was even more effortless.”
He had grown far stronger than before.
Naturally, that was to be expected.
What should have been a battlefield advantageous to the Armored Centipede, the desert, had now completely reversed with his acquisition of【Sand Dominion】.
As long as he was here, there was no freedom in this dungeon.
“These guys are just for making chump change. The real target, is the dungeon boss.”
With【Void Magic】or【Phantom】, he could reach the boss room instantly. But today, all he planned to do was clear this dungeon and head back.
There was no need to rush.
He leisurely walked across the desert, casually hunting monsters for money and excess experience.
Before long, the entrance leading to the boss room came into view ahead.
