Synopsis

The chapter reveals that the branded worm grants demon powers, specifically gluttony, allowing the user to steal skills. The main party successfully defeats the Blue Dragon after the main character recalls its weakness from a previous life, but a demon hidden within the dragon’s stomach is released upon its death, unleashing a poison that corrupts the forest. The main character reflects on the failed mission from his previous life and how he can use this new information about the dragon's hidden weakness to better prepare for a rematch.
