Soul Devourer Chapter 5 Episode 9 — An S-Rank Juvenile
After returning to the surface, he passed through the plaza bustling with hunters and headed toward the guild’s branch office.
Since the matter of mutation enhancement had already been shared within the Hunter Guild, the staff accepted the existence of the Emperor Centipede without much confusion.
He moved to a wide area where he could unload the Armored Centipede corpses, and the quantity and quality of the materials lined up were inspected.
“Hunter Matsubara, thank you for waiting. The purchase price for these materials comes to 400 million yen.”
The procedure went smoothly, and the sale of materials was completed without issue.
“Thank you very much. By the way, I have something I’d like to ask.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“It might surprise you… but please take a look at this.”
He ordered Samael, which had been clinging to his back to stay hidden, to move onto his right arm and reveal itself.
Though the mechanism was unclear, Samael understood his commands. There was no need to even put them into words, it seemed capable of sensing the instructions he thought of and executing them directly.
But what about the reverse?
He still couldn’t understand Samael’s will or emotions. That was likely the gap between “human” and “monster.”
However, if that gap could be bridged through time spent together and accumulated experience, then it was something worth observing closely.
“…Th-This is…!”
“This is a juvenile Emperor Centipede obtained as a dungeon clear reward. It is currently under my control and will obey my commands. So there’s no need to worry about it harming anyone.”
There was no absolute proof. But if he didn’t state it clearly here, it would only create unnecessary fear and suspicion.
“…I’ve never heard of a monster juvenile being obtained as a dungeon reward. I don’t doubt your words, Hunter Matsubara, but… is it really safe? If what you’re saying is true, then that would be… a juvenile of an S-Rank monster, correct?”
“There’s no problem. I don’t know if this counts as proof, but its current strength is about the same as a goblin.”
“I see. In that case, even if something were to happen, it could be subjugated.”
“Yes.”
…For now, at least.
“Just to be safe, please provide the detailed information on that monster. We’ll record it on our end.”
“Understood.”
He reported everything without holding back: Samael’s level, rank, stats, and possessed skills.
“Thank you for your cooperation. We will report this matter to higher authorities. If anything arises, we will contact you. Thank you for your hard work today.”
“Excuse me.”
With the material sale and subjugation report completed, he headed straight home.
Tomorrow, he planned to test mutation enhancement in a second A-Rank dungeon. Alongside that, he would also continue raising Samael.
“Let’s do our best, Samael… ah, yeah, I definitely can’t show you to my parents. Now what should I do… Sorry, but you’ll have to put up with being cramped for a while.”
