"Is he...dead?"
The hunters who had been hiding stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the giant Soul Eater lying on the road.
Its scarlet eyes and the blue-green light spots emanating from its body had completely dimmed.
Even breathing had stopped.
One of the hunters mustered his courage and picked up a piece of gravel from the ground.
He hurled it forcefully at the giant Soul-Devouring Beast.
"Snap~"
The rubble struck the giant soul-devouring beast's body and rolled to the side.
The latter still did not react at all.
The surrounding hunters all breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of excited cheers erupted from the crowd.
"We...we're saved..."
"The people on the ground are so powerful, they're probably even more powerful than our captain."
"Otherwise, how could they have survived on the ground for so long?"
"..."
Many hunters huddled together.
His voice revealed the relief of surviving a disaster.
For them, the greatest threat was this enormous Soul-Eating Beast.
Once the giant Soul-Devouring Beast dies, the smaller Soul-Devouring Beasts will no longer be a threat.
Gigi stood on a pile of rubble, silently observing the giant Soul-Eating Beast.
Only after confirming that it showed no signs of moving did it leap and land steadily on the ground.
Clutching the flaming longsword, he walked to the neck of the giant soul-devouring beast.
He raised the flaming sword high above his head.
He slashed at the neck of the giant soul-devouring beast.
"brush!"
Just as the flaming sword was about to touch the neck of the giant soul-devouring beast, an unexpected event occurred.
The once dull and lifeless body of the giant Soul-Devouring Beast burst forth with vitality once more.
A front paw slammed down on Gigi, who was right next to it.
"It's still alive! That monster is still alive..."
The hunters, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately tensed up again.
They quickly fled back to the corner where they had been hiding.
"Squeak..."
—Damn it, he actually pretended to be dead…
Gigi screamed.
It quickly changed the direction of its flaming longsword.
It slashed fiercely at the giant claw that was attacking it from the front.
"Pfft~"
A muffled thud was heard, followed by a shocking spurt of blood.
The giant soul-devouring beast's wrist was severed instantly.
Gigi twirled the longsword in her hand.
"Whoosh~"
The incredibly sharp blade sliced through the neck of the giant soul-devouring beast as easily as cutting tofu.
This time, the giant soul-devouring beast couldn't even utter a painful howl.
All he could manage were low sobs that escaped his throat.
Its body convulsed incessantly in its final, death throes.
The giant soul-devouring beast mobilized a large amount of life essence in an attempt to repair its wounds.
Unfortunately, the wound was too deep.
Its entire back had been cut open.
The spine was completely exposed to the air.
His neck was cut in half.
It's impossible to completely fix it in a short time.
Moreover, Gigi wouldn't give it any chance to recover.
He wielded his flaming longsword and slashed down mercilessly once more.
"Snap!"
It was accompanied by the sound of bone cracking.
The sword blade severed the giant soul-devouring beast's cervical vertebrae.
The sword slashed down, severing the entire head of the giant Soul-Devouring Beast.
A large amount of the life essence began to be rapidly lost.
Without a head, no matter how tenacious the giant soul-devouring beast's vitality is, it has absolutely no chance of coming back to life.
