Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Pioneer Village, Temple

We walked east, yes it seemed like they were taking me to the village where the Abholotz Temple was located.

I learned of the existence of this Temple myself through the book I read. Abholotz Temple, as the name implies it is a Temple that worships the Evil God Abholotz, the Goddess of Satisfaction and Comfort.

Yes, its own position can be likened to the Smelluq Temple as well as the five other existing Temples as well as the seven Churches.

To be sure, I only hope that the village of the Evil Realm is not as bad as what the rumors say. I thought again as I hugged Arkemi (in the form of Slime) tighter.

Yes, it feels very comfortable and soothing. Sorry for Antarea but Slime's body is more suited to cuddling than a spider's.

“Krakraraaa. “

Well, don't be sad about Antarea.

It seems Spirit Link makes my mind shared easier.

Looking around, I saw that we were walking down a cliff path on the side of a cliff. Well, at least I saw the vegetation here start to live with some trees growing though not too big.

And also, I felt that my Oku movements were not too normal. Whether it's hip bone movement or how to maintain body balance when walking ...

"I seem to have noticed something unnecessary" I murmured.

Hode. He's obviously hode.

The way it goes really feels like a man, okay? And how could she move that well despite having something she doesn't normally have on her chest? Especially with that size .. wouldn't it feel heavy?

Uhh, I'm a little depressed by this difference. Even though she is not a woman why can she move so well?! Should I repeat my character and give a little extra on .. okay, better not.

I feel like I would lose something if I actually did that.

And I also don't want to know what the fox did to that body.

I thought about it until I finally saw a village after walking for about three hours. Well, it looks like it is a village called Arkemi and Oku.

The Village of Evil.

The village did not seem to be very large or crowded. The distance between one house and another house can be said reasonable, even a little rare to make this village feel like a new village.

Well, I guess that from the gates and walls that protect the village from the possibility of monsters entering is still semi-permanent. Made from large wooden droplets, moreover it still looks a little wet. Not because of the rain but the water content in the wood itself.

So, maybe the age of this village itself is still not even a decade.

As I observed the village a little more, we finally arrived in front of the village entrance gate.

"Good night, Miss Oku, Miss Arkemi. And who are you bringing?"

"Dira—"

"Un. He may be the one who has a connection to the preacher's orders" Oku replied.

At least let me say my name, fox!

I saw the gatekeeper nod and immediately let us in.

"Don't hesitate to call us if it feels like something's not right."

"certain."

Well, I'll just look at the exchange and think of it as coming from another world from what I live in. But it seems like both Arkemi and Oku are quite important people here, huh?

After all, I just hope that Evil village is not as bad as what I can imagine. Because .. uhh, spooky. Honestly, that's all I can think of for now.

The only source of illumination here is a torch placed in front of the house. It is not the magic lamp that makes the lighting here rather dim.

Yes, even without it I would not be disturbed but because of the torches I can see some figures standing next to the house with sharp red eyes looking at me.

I wish it was just my illusion. Yeah, correct. It's just an illusion.

"We're finally here." Oku heaved a sigh of relief when she reached the center of the village, the square. It seems like this village has a simple structure where important places are placed at one point in the center of community activities.

"We better get to the pastor soon" he continued on his way to one of the existing buildings.

From the outside, it looks like an octagonal building with two large pillars at each corner as support. Accompanied by a snake statue that has a different look at each corner, only a mark on the snake's forehead shows that they are related.

For the gate itself, it felt like it resembled a temple and did not have a gate. As if allowing anyone to go inside.

And yes, although there are no white marble stones or shiny tiles there, it is far inverted with the 'Ymnar Church in Houra City. But somehow has its own subtle feeling with the red color of the berry, still giving the impression of sacred.

"When there's no need to be as scared as that ’kan, so immediately walk." Arkemi said as she started pushing in. Although it is doubtful will work with the energy that can be released by the body.

All right, well let's take a deep breath and go inside.

And ...

"There's a lot of snake ornaments here, yeah."

... That was my first impression.

Yes, from outside to inside here, there are so many ornaments that take the appearance of the slithering animal. From a painting, to a carving, to a statue.

"It must be because the snake is the embodiment of His Holiness Abholotz."

O-oh. So it's like that, isn't it?

With that attitude, I found it difficult to be able to recognize Oku as a player at a glance.

But snakes, 'do you? Sounds pretty interesting.

Well, after Oku knocked on one of the doors, I heard a voice that let us in when it opened.

Makes me gulp when I feel like something bad is coming out of this.

But—

"Yes .. I can't resist it, can I?"

"Dirae, as bi— should be, you can understand easily."

I don't think it's a compliment at all ....

I thought when I was —once again— pulled to go inside. And ...

Blam it!

... The door closed by itself.

Glupes.

This atmosphere is truly horror. Yeah, I don't hate him anyway. It feels tense.

Walking a few more steps, I finally saw a figure that might be the figure of the priest in question.

He was wearing a shirt that showed no curves at all, and coupled with a pointed triangular hat that covered the priest's face, I could not tell if he was a man or a woman.

"Thank you for coming, Oku, Arkemi" greeted the priest in a neutral voice. Well, I can't make any guesses at all about his identity.

As expected of the Shrines, the mysterious nuance really felt condensed, huh.

"No, I'm just following the orders of the Temple, Priest."

"Un, that's right."

"After all, I still have to thank you for the contribution you guys made to this little Temple." The priest said as he slightly lowered his head at the two of them before finally looking at me. "And who is the one who is with you?"

"Un. Arkemi says that she may be the one related to the prophecy you told her before."
