Soul Devourer Chapter 8 Episode 23 — Exterminating the Locust Plague and Gluttony

Editor:
I had begun taking countermeasures against the Abaddons that had started multiplying infinitely, but… honestly, there was no end to it.

Each individual wasn’t particularly strong.

They had no special means of attack or tricky tactics, so Samael and the others were steadily reducing their numbers while coordinating with one another.

I was also attempting to exterminate them all at once with my enormous Magic Power, but they were devoting all their efforts solely to multiplication.

They would generate duplicates, scatter in all directions, generate more duplicates, and… the cycle continued forever.

『Intelligence +1』

『Spirit +5』

Thanks to that, the notifications announcing my stat increases hadn’t stopped ringing for some time.

At first, I was satisfied to see my stats gradually increasing. But as time passed and I realized there was no end in sight, the pain began to outweigh the joy.

Of course,【Mana Recovery Boost】integrated into【Axiom】and【Fatigue Immunity】integrated into【Aegis】meant that fighting for an extended period was no problem.

It was simply a matter of how I felt about it.

Countless corpses were scattered all around me. The «Blood Soldiers» created by reusing the spilled blood also rushed toward the duplicate Abaddons.

Gradually, the tide of battle was beginning to turn in our favor.

On top of that, the effect of【Peerless】, integrated into【Skanda】, was causing my stats to rise even further.

Thanks to my high base stats, my numbers had already surpassed what they were during the battle with America.

With this, even these things, which weren’t particularly strong but were as tenacious as cockroaches, could be dealt with for certain.

I activated【Ward Magic】,【Dominion Magic】,【Composite Magic】, and【Parallel Casting】, integrated into【Axiom】.

I ordered Samael and the others to “stand by” and surrounded the area with【Ward Magic】«Anti-Magic Barrier».

I fused【Dominion Magic】: «Whirlwind» and «Deadly Poison» together using【Composite Magic】.

I, then, unleashed the «Wind of Death» I had used when fighting China’s〘Regalia〙, Wang Haoran.

The «Wind of Death» unleashed with my absurdly high Intelligence swept through every corner of the dungeon without leaving a single place untouched.

Immediately afterward, every Abaddon died.

Even after surveying the dungeon and using【Omniscence】to search for any signs of life, I couldn’t find a single survivor.

I waited for a while, but no Abaddons appeared.

Once again, the endless notifications rang out.

After confirming that the «Wind of Death» had lost its effect and disappeared, I ordered Samael and the others to come out from beyond the barrier.

Now then, it was time for the Boss battle.

With my current stats, it would be over in an instant. But before that, I might as well raise my stats a little further. I picked up a corpse lying at my feet and activated【Voracity】, biting into it.


『Magic Power +11』


When it came to SS-Rank monsters, their stats exceeded 1,000, so the amount of the increase reached double digits.


“Hahaha! Nice!”


Delighted, I tore into Abaddon’s flesh one piece after another. With every bite, my organs, muscles, and cells became stronger. Each time, my stats rose even further.

Until the enormous door through which the dungeon Boss would emerge, appeared, Samael and I continued devouring the corpses like hyenas.

In the end, what was Abaddon? A locust? A horse? An insect??? 😆

Stay tuned!

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 —...
