The Revenge of the Soul Eater

人(on-jin) = benefactor.
He made pun replacing 人, which = human, with 虫, which mean= insect, into 恩虫.
Not gonna stress 2 hard to make that pun less lame~)

 

Well, who cares.

With all of my gratitude and anger that sprung out from the bottom of my heart, I’m going to cut down all of its children now.

I should really be looking for a way out instead, but I’ll think about that later.

 

The despair that I’ve felt until a while ago has not yet faded.
I can still remember the fear I felt when my entire body was being eaten while I was still alive.

Just that thought alone will make revenge feel exceptionally good.
It’s a shame that I won’t be able to understand any of the sounds that the maggots will make as they try to escape.
Let’s first start with this one that’s close to me!

 

「Here I go… *Híííííí!*」(squeal)

 

The moment I cut that big worm down, a bizarre voice came out from my mouth.

 

If there were other people in here, they would have laughed at me for sure when I’ve made such a stupid sound.

 

W-what the hell was that just now?! The moment I cut into that maggot, an unbelievable feeling ran through my entire body.
If I were to make a comparison…yeah…it’s like how it feels after I rubbed one out…

 

「…Wha-what the hell?」

 

I was surprised, but that does not change what I was going to do.
I aimed at the next maggot and swung the black sword down at it.

 

「Nnnnn!」

 

Even though I was expecting it, I made an even weirder sound than before.

Did the maggots do something to me when they were killed? But even if that was the case, it doesn’t seem to be anything harmful to me.

 

Slash.

 

「HNn!」

 

Chop.

 

「Ugh」

 

Stab.

 

「Nnn, alright」

 

Stab again.

 

「I’ve-」

 

Slash some more.

 

「I’ve gotten used to it now」

 

I started to get used to the pleasure after repeatedly feeling it several times.

 

Then, I suddenly had an idea to step on the small maggots with my feet…but then I stopped myself.
As I thought, it was hard to kill them by just stepping on them like that.

 

I said that I was going to kill them with all I’ve got when I was biting them to death.

 

「Alright, then how about this」

 

I grabbed a rock from nearby and crushed the maggots with it.

However, I did not experience that feeling of pleasure from it.
Just to make sure, I crushed another four or five maggots of different sizes, but the result was the same.

 

Next, I killed some with the black sword, and the pleasure came back.

 

「So the worms aren’t doing anything when they die.
It’s caused by my soul equipment, huh?」

 

If that’s the case, then it shouldn’t be anything bad.

 

Unfortunately, there are no guides with instructions on how to use this thing, so I just have to learn as I go.

 

For the time being, I will bring retribution on the maggots that have been devouring people first.

I hummed a tune as I cut down the maggots before me one after another.

Thirty minutes, one hour, one and a half hours, two hours.

No matter how long I’ve been cutting them down for, I did not get tired.

I’ve probably killed about 300 of them now.

 

Then, my body was hit with a strong impact.
It was different than the feeling that I’ve been feeling up until now.

It was as if my body was being cleanse from the inside.
It felt like my body was being rebuilt from scratch.
It was a very strange feeling.

It was a feeling that I had never experienced before in my life.

Driven by a hunch, I opened my mouth,

 

「…『Level Open』」

 

I checked my level with a trembling voice.

Then, what I saw there was a number that I had never seen before.

　

『２』

 

It’s definitely “2”.
My level that has never ever gone up has really gone up!

 

「YESSSSSSSSSS!!」

 

I instinctively cheered out loud.

 

I was convinced.
My soul equipment increased my acquisition rate of experience points… Wait, no, that alone wouldn’t level me.

 

My soul equipment must have been getting me “something” that wasn’t just experience.
That’s it, it was robbing my opponents of their root of life that is referred to as the soul.
Hence the name soul eater.

 

That would explain why I managed to move my level which has never gone up before.
One soul reaped by my soul equipment had surely provided me with the equivalent of what would be hundreds of experience points for other adventurers.

 

No, maybe not just hundreds, but even thousands.
Regardless, there’s definitely no mistake that I can get much more experience points from this manner.

 

That pleasure that I’ve been feeling before I leveled up was surely a mental and physical overreaction to the amount of experience I was gaining.
My body was surprised by the sudden intake of such high purity experience points.

 

「If that’s how it works…!」

 

My eyes glowed as I looked at my surroundings.
There were still lots of maggots squirming around.

 

Which means that there is plenty for me to cut down still.

 

Now, let the experiencing farming begin!
