Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Last, Murder

Boss Monster. Well, if someone is asked about what they think when they hear this, I'm sure 8 out of 10 will answer 'they are the strongest type of opponent'. Even if there was another answer, it would not be far from the word 'strong' or 'big'.

If it was really like that, what type of Monster Boss was the most troublesome?

Those who have an incredible amount of HP that makes you desperate to reduce it? Those who have the strongest brute strength so as to knock you down with a single punch? Those who don't need to move to kill you and just need to be a fixed tower?

It's all negative. To me it is all wrong, the most troublesome are those who have reason.

Yes, the most common type of Boss monster is a type of mindless monster. They are proud of the power they have and keep pushing until the end.

Indeed, they had an instinct that warned them. However, compared to reason that weighs good, bad, and looks around objectively and is consciously accepted by the person himself, the instincts are much worse because they are sometimes unconscious.

And in EFO, where non-player characters, Residents of — in particular of the intelligent race— are able to make reasoning on par with real humans, this is increasingly giving a big influence.

Augusta is a Vampire, she is an intelligent race who has the ability to judge things healthily —as long as it is not controlled by her emotions. Thus, after judging that conditions were increasingly unfavorable, Augusta made a decision.

Run.

It wasn't the wrong decision. Even if it was me, it was likely that I would have done a similar act. Although now I lose, just gather enough information and strength if you really want to repay it, such is the mind of a healthy person (personal opinion). And Augusta had made this very sensible decision.

"Because that's the troublesome type."

Even if he was weakened to the point of being killed, when he escaped then conquest was tantamount to failure. Moreover, Augusta is an emotional person so revenge events are sure to come, yes. To me, that's the scariest Boss.

"I hope that the Houra City Army and the players will not fail to stop him," I hope worriedly.

My own hope is not just empty hope. I'm sure the player of Houra City also has his own Quest, and it's aimed at conquering Augusta. Well, they also did not want the Quest to fail so they would try to stop Augusta as hard as possible.

I did want to try out the cards I had, but it couldn't possibly work out if I had to keep up with Augusta's moves.

"It happened again" I said.

Augusta's body began to emit a bluish-gray light. Spurting his flying acceleration more and more, it became so fast that it was difficult to follow with the naked eye.

"Retention of the Holyland!"

The pastor —who was in distress followed Augusta— to release his spell. Bright light gathered, gushing out from the ground and creating a special terrain area that held Augusta, forcing her to fall to the ground —which now sank slightly—regardless of her previous speed.

"Boundary Light! Heal Area!" continue the spells he unleashed in succession.

It seemed like the priest was more specialized in the area of support than direct attacks. That explained why he had not fought Augusta directly before despite having a spell with Holy advanced attributes.

This opportunity was not unleashed by the players, they flocked to give Art's and Spells rain which had a controlling effect on Augusta. Even if the damage inflicted was not worth seeing, it was frightening just to look at.

No matter how much August tried to resist, the effects of control never left his body. Whether it's slowdown, knock back, or root. The amount of Stun awarded was relatively few, perhaps because the player's ability was not yet at the stage to show at the Boss? Or perhaps Augusta's high resistance to it? But that's one of those two possibilities.

"All of you, don't let that Vampire get away! Tactics: Charge."

"It seems like quite a lot of them are watching you." Megaera appeared, warning me all of a sudden but with solid and troublesome information.

Yes, I had expected there would be countermeasures for my actions that had deorganized the players. Even if they will live again and almost without loss, there will be a pause before the revival. So, in the Quest as it is now, it is very avoided because it can cause failure especially with a sixfold acceleration.

"Beast Least!"

While I was thinking of how to deal with the bystanders watching me, Augusta shouted, blasting light all over her body. White smoke billowed along with droplets of blood flowing on his white skin. A ball of fog shot out, of course it was Augusta who had escaped from the onslaught.

"Without guessing he had the means to escape that much control."

I was a little curious about how the Augusta Skill array could cope with almost any situation. Even if Art's (?) it also injured his body, to be able to escape from all kinds of control like that was certainly an acceptable payment huh.

However, it could not be helped, so far there had been no cases where players could see the overall status of the Residents.

The previous man, the empty-handed fighter (Kafar) tries to hold Augusta back. Not letting him escape a second time. This time he was not alone, the knight who had almost died earlier also entered. Detaining Augusta with the good cooperation shown.

Well, I'm really amazed at magic, that kind of recovery, which is really absurd can happen. I want to experience it in the real world too. But in any case, the battle before my eyes will now become all-out and that is the priority at the moment.

Unlike before, where rotation would occur if one were to fall in order to maintain rhythm, this time all resources were deployed. In easy-to-understand words, the situation has reached a critical stage.

Whether Augusta's escape will be successful or Houra City's forces will succeed. I just hope they'll be equally ruined, yeah.

However, with the present circumstances it is unlikely to happen. The invisible hand (on my own) is also impossible to do with the presence of the scouts watching me, huh.

Well, now I just need to start preparing myself.

It will take a long time, so for now pretend to attack Augusta so as not to be found out that I am the cause of the damage before

A slash!

And Megaera saved me from the fast trajectory of a dagger that led to my neck.

"It turns out all this was you Vampire Descendants!"

"...."

.... I opened and closed my mouth a few times but no words made it out, huh. Even though I had compiled what I wanted to say, it didn't work out.

... Okay, yeah ... basic fucking aura of a son of a bitch ...! Is there really a nameplate on top of my head that indicates I am a descendant of Vampires?!
