Soul Devourer Chapter 6 Episode 20 — The Order of Release from Prison
Activating the return magic circle, I teleported back to the surface.
Afterward, I sent Samael and the others back to the Troll Dungeon.
Next, I asked Ivan to handle the sale of materials on my behalf.
The corpses of the Naberius Beelzebubs and Beelzebub's materials were submitted to the guild branch office.
Once the appraisal was complete, the offered purchase price was;
97,280,522 rubles.
Converted into Japanese yen, it came to roughly 200 million yen.
Leaving the guild branch office behind, I climbed into the rear seat of the car.
Ivan took his place in the driver's seat and looked at me through the rearview mirror.
“Hunter Matsubara, good work. Shall we proceed directly to the next dungeon?”
“Yes. I still have plenty of stamina left. Please head there.”
“Understood.”
The engine rumbled softly, and the car began moving in silence.
The next destination-
The fourth S-Rank Dungeon.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
Around the time Yuito was conquering his third S-Rank Dungeon…
The Second seat of Russia's strongest force, the〈Semi-Tsar〉,〔Sage〕Vlas, was visiting a prison reserved for major criminals.
The groundwork with all relevant parties had already been completed.
All that remained was to confirm the prisoners' intentions.
“This is the area where hunter felons are incarcerated. From here on, I'll simply hand over the cell keys... Are you truly certain you'll be fine on your own?”
The prison guard understood.
The man standing before him was one of the nation's trump cards, a member of the〈Semi-Tsar〉.
At the same time, however, the prisoners held beyond these walls were monsters in their own right.
“There will be no problem. Not only will my own safety be assured, but none of you will be inconvenienced either.”
“...Understood. Then, please take care.”
Accepting the cell keys, Vlas stepped beyond the massive door.
Sturdy prison cells lined both sides of the corridor.
Simply walking past them caused the inmates to grab the iron bars and hurl insults his way.
“Hey! Who the hell are ya?!”
“GeT mE oUt oF hErE! I'll dO aNyThInG iF yOu lEt mE oUt!”
“Hand over those keyzzzzzzz!”
The irritating shouting made Vlas furrow his brow.
Then he quietly released【Sovereign Aura】.
The atmosphere groaned.
An overwhelming pressure filled the corridor.
Yet…
The prisoners neither dropped to their knees nor lost their voices.
Even under the pressure of an〘Transcendent〙-class intimidation aura, their fighting spirit continued to burn.
Seeing this, Vlas curled his lips into an amused smile.
“Those are good eyes.”
Stopping in place, Vlas clearly introduced himself.
“I am Vlas, Second seat of the〈Semi-Tsar〉. Today, I have come to offer you a job.”
The words "〈Semi-Tsar〉" and "job".
Those two words instantly silenced the prisoners who had been shouting moments ago.
“A hunter from Japan is currently visiting our country. Your assignment? The elimination of that Japanese hunter.”
Silence fell.
Eventually, a calm voice emerged from deep within one of the cells.
“I have a question. What's the reward?”
“Full pardon.”
“How strong is this Japanese hunter?”
“Equivalent to a member of the〈Semi-Tsar〉.”
“Party size?”
“Solo.”
“Familiars?”
“Three. All equivalent to high-tier S-Rank monsters.”
“The plan?”
“An ambush inside an S-Rank Dungeon. A dark clan will also contribute forces.”
“Equipment and items?”
“We'll provide them.”
Vlas stated it without hesitation.
“Any further questions?”
“...No.”
“Then raise your hand if you do not wish to participate.”
Vlas walked to the far end of the corridor and inspected each cell as he returned.
…Not a single hand was raised.
“Your intentions have been confirmed.”
His low, quiet voice echoed through the corridor.
“But remember this. Those who fail the assignment, or attempt to flee… will be punished personally by us, the〈Semi-Tsar〉.”
With those words, Vlas stopped before the cells and began unlocking them one after another.
The ones being released were S-Rank-class major criminals.
Led by Vlas, they left the prison and received equipment and clothing from his subordinates waiting outside.
And thus…
The monsters were once again unleashed upon a peaceful world.
