Soul Devourer Chapter 8 Episode 21 — The Endless Swarm From The Abyss

Editor:
After spending a passionate night in China, I departed for Russia from Beijing Capital International Airport. I exchanged a few words with Guildmaster Donato and immediately headed for Russia's SS-Rank dungeon.

The evacuation of nearby residents had already been completed here as well, and the houses and rubble had been cleared away, with even the roads repaved.

However, there wasn’t a single Hunter in sight, and a heavy silence dominated the area. After getting out of the car, I looked up at the towering cylindrical structure with Donato.


“Hunter Matsubara, I’m sure you already know this better than anyone after traveling from country to country and conquering SS-Rank dungeons, but I’d like to caution you once again.”


“……”


“The monsters here are extremely troublesome, so please exercise the utmost caution.”


“…I appreciate the warning.”


With that, I proceeded toward the dungeon.

I stopped in front of the black, oval-shaped entrance, activated【Void Magic】integrated into【Axiom】, and jumped to Japan once.

I brought Samael and the others from the Troll’s dungeon and teleported back to Russia. Then passed through the dungeon entrance.

My surroundings changed completely, revealing a desolate, barren wasteland dotted with withered trees and dead grass.

As I advanced through the field,【Omniscence】, integrated into【Māyā】, picked up a presence.

I turned my gaze toward it and saw an eerie humanoid figure standing there.

It was approximately 2 meters tall.

A chin protruding like a horse’s, a pair of wings, long, slender hind legs, four forearms, a body giving off a dull gleam, and a scorpion-like tail.

But what stood out above all else were its golden horns, reminiscent of a crown.

I activated【Discernment】, integrated into【Māyā】, on the insectoid humanoid monster standing ahead and checked its status.

〈King of the Abyss〉, or perhaps〈King of the Locusts〉, Abaddon.

Even compared to the SS-Rank monsters I had encountered so far, its stats were on the lower end. At first glance, it didn’t seem particularly threatening, but…

It possessed yet another ominous set of skills. The skill composition was clearly troublesome. However, as far as I could see, there was only one standing before me.


“Then, doesn’t that make it meaningless……?”


The moment that doubt crossed my mind, I sensed a movement of mana. A magic-circle-like pattern unfolded before Abaddon, and an identical Abaddon emerged from it.


As expected.


I had found it strange that there was only one when its skill composition clearly seemed designed to display its true potential as an army.

That phenomenon just now was probably the result of【Replica】creating a duplicate.

When I activated【Discernment】on the duplicate, its level, stats, and even skill composition were completely identical to the original.

Huh? Then does that mean the duplicates can create even more duplicates themselves? In other words, infinite multiplication……?

Well, with my Intelligence, I could still exterminate them. Even Echidna’s army had been nothing more than fodder before me, after all.

Gazing at the Abaddons as they continued multiplying without limit, I prepared to use【Nova Magic】, integrated into【Axiom】.

Then, several replicas began using【Flight】and scattered in all directions.


“…Come on! Damn it, what a hassle!”


I activated【Nova Magic】«Explosion», annihilating the group of individuals before me in a single blow, and immediately moved on to hunt down the remaining stragglers.

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 —...
