Soul Devourer Chapter 8 Episode 14 — Beyond the Goddess of the Sea

Editor:
I had evaporated every last drop of the jet-black sea with magic and defeated Tiamat, who could endlessly be reborn.

I stored Tiamat’s corpse, now reduced to countless pieces of flesh, inside the《Magic Pouch》.

While waiting for the Dungeon Boss to appear, I decided to check the details of my newly acquired skills.


━━━━━━━━━━

【Charge】Lv.10  (MAX)

 - Agility × 2 ;

 - Movement restricted to a straight line.

    Agility +10


【Earthquake】Lv.8

 - Stomping down hard on the ground, causes the ground across a wide area to shake.

 - The intensity and range of the quake expands with increasing skill level.

    Dexterity +8


【Nethersea Rebirth】

 - Skill-user can turn lakes and seas “jet-black”.

 - As long as jet-black water body exists, skill-user can resurrect any number of times, no matter how fatal the injury.

    ※ Limited to bodies of water.

While I was at it, I also decided to check the details of the new skills I had acquired while conquering the Earth Dragon’s dungeon.

First,【Charge】.

It’s a lower version of【Flashstep】.

The restriction of being limited to moving in a straight line is the same, but its movement speed multiplier is lower.

Next,【Earthquake】.

By forcefully stomping on the ground, it can cause a wide area to shake.

It is less effective against monsters and Hunters capable of flight, but against those who crawl along the ground, it can unleash tremendous power. It’s the perfect skill for catching someone off guard.

And finally, the main attraction,【Nethersea Rebirth】.

It turns lakes and seas “jet-black”, then deploys a "Resurrection Field" that allows one to revive no matter what fatal injury they suffer.

Without a means of eliminating the “jet-black sea” like I had, defeating Tiamat would have been impossible.

To be honest, if this had been me before I was super-enhanced in America, defeating her might have been difficult.

Judging from Tiamat’s level, stats, and skill composition, I wouldn’t have lost.

Even if I couldn’t kill her in a single blow, I could have inflicted a fatal wound on that massive body.

But it would have taken time to somehow deal with the “jet-black sea”, and even if I had ultimately managed to defeat her……hmm, at best, I probably would have ended up with a draw.

Compared to Echidna in Japan and Shuten-dōji in America… Tiamat was by far the most troublesome of the three.

The SS-Rank dungeon in China certainly lived up to that level of difficulty as well.

As expected, SS-Rank dungeons are fun.

Now then…

A huge door appeared in the place where Tiamat and the “jet-black sea” had been.

With a deep rumble, the double doors slowly swung open.

From beyond them, a gigantic monster emerged.

Its total length was approximately 100 meters.

The monster walked leisurely on four legs, and if I had to describe it in a single phrase… it was a “Golden Dragon”.

The dragon scales covering its powerful body were as sharp as blades, and combined with their golden radiance, they gave off an eerie presence that seemed to paralyze anyone who looked upon them.

And above its head, swaying languidly from side to side, was a single tail whose tip had transformed into a greatsword.

It seemed to be quietly sizing up me and Samael and the others — deciding which of us it should cut down first.

I activated【Discernment】, integrated into【Māyā】.

〈Rancor King〉Khryseion Aor, huh.

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about its level or stats. But it possessed two rather ominous Unique Skills.


“This means I’ll have to stay on my toes…”


Under the unfathomable and ominous presence unlike Tiamat’s, I slowly readjusted my grip on《Dáinsleif》.

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:

                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a class transfer   to another world . While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident… so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls, and even some pretty boys, who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...
