Soul Devourer Chapter 6 Episode 14 — Subjugating Gorgon
After several hours of hunting, they finally achieved their goal of defeating one hundred Medusas.
And at last…
They discovered the entrance leading to the boss room.
『Level 129 UP』
『Magic Power +5』
『Strength +5』
『Endurance +5』
『Agility +1』
『Intelligence +5』
『Spirit +8』
『Dexterity +6』
『Luck +9』
『Skill【Evil Eye: Petrification】Lv.10 (MAX) UP』
Due to the changes made to【Soul Eater】, the increase in ability values had been reduced to single digits.
Moreover, despite defeating one hundred monsters, the actual gain in ability values was only equivalent to about ten kills.
There was no denying that the efficiency had dropped.
…But it wasn't a problem.
If he defeated one hundred monsters, he could reliably max out any newly acquired skill.
From now on, he simply had to continue hunting in batches of "one hundred".
That was all there was to it.
And then…
『Individual: Santa Muerte, the Eternal Sage, has reached Level 100』
『Qualification worthy of bearing the title of "King", confirmed』
『A "King" Title will be bestowed upon Individual: Santa Muerte, the Eternal Sage』
『King Name:〈Eldritch King〉has been granted』
Following Samael, Tamuel had finally reached Level 100 as well, becoming a being worthy of receiving a King Name.
Its skeletal body had grown to nearly two meters in height.
Combined with its jet-black robe, it radiated an overwhelming aura that seemed to appeal directly to the instincts of anyone who looked at it.
Furthermore…
『Individual: Nox Chevalier, the Black Requiem, has reached Level 100』
『Qualification worthy of bearing the title of "King", confirmed』
『A "King" Name will be bestowed upon Individual: Nox Chevalier, the Black Requiem』
『King Name:〈Stygian King〉has been granted』
Nox had also reached Level 100.
Its massive body, clad entirely in black armor, now stood well over two meters tall.
Like Tamuel, it exuded such overwhelming presence that one would instinctively take a step back merely by approaching it.
To think that it had once been such a tiny juvenile.
Now, it had grown into a companion he could fully trust with his back.
An unquestionable elite capable of soloing even an S-Rank Dungeon boss.
If there was one lingering regret, it was that Tamuel's staff was still only Ancient-grade.
…Someday, I'd like to obtain a Mythical-grade Gods staff as a dungeon reward.
“Alright, let's go.”
With those brief words, he pushed open the massive boss room doors.
Accompanied by Samael and the others, they stepped inside.
The moment they reached the center of the room…
Eleven spheres of light descended from above.
The next instant, one of them shone especially brightly.
Ten Medusas appeared.
And…
A monstrous being with the exact same appearance as the Medusas, but standing nearly two meters tall and possessing a pair of jet-black wings spreading from its back.
“...A Gorgon.”
The moment he confirmed its name, Yuito moved without hesitation.
After a single glance at its skill composition, there wasn't the slightest trace of doubt.
Activating【Earth Magic】, he created a massive earthen wall between his group and the Gorgons.
The wall completely blocked Samael and the others from the Gorgon's sight.
Then he activated【Phantom】.
Remaining invisible, he used【Void Magic】to teleport beyond the earthen wall and locked his gaze onto the Gorgon.
Drawing《Sköfnung》from his《Magic Pouch》, he threw it together with the《Sea Dragon's Naval Aglyphs》using【Throwing】.
…Both eyes were pierced with flawless precision.
GYAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
A scream sharp enough to split the ears echoed throughout the boss room.
But he didn't stop.
Using【Void Magic】, he teleported directly in front of the Gorgon and pulled out the deeply embedded《Sköfnung》.
While falling, he activated【Air Step】.
Creating a foothold in midair, he crouched deeply and accelerated in a single burst.
…One slash at the neck.
The Gorgon's massive head fell and rolled across the ground with a heavy thud.
『Skill Acquired【Evil Eye: Instant Death】Lv.8』
The reason he had acted with such immediate decisiveness was because of that skill.
…The name alone was incredibly dangerous.
If it functioned similarly to【Evil Eye: Petrification】, then resistance might be possible depending on one's Spirit stat.
But if that resistance failed, it meant instant death in a single hit.
There was no way he could force Samael and the others to shoulder that kind of risk.
Protecting companions with lower Spirit values took absolute priority.
To think it possessed a skill this vicious.
As expected of an S-Rank Dungeon boss.
The only enemies remaining were Medusas, opponents he had already faced countless times.
Yuito turned his gaze toward Samael and the others.
“…Annihilate them.”
(E/N: Finish Them! Fatality!)
At his signal, the boss room became a stage for one-sided slaughter.
