Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

First, the Rat Communal

Throwing away those strange thoughts, I completed the creation of a ball of mana fog. Yes, this is faster to form as the level increases but load the Mana Spells first in it while making another ball.

I saw Mana Bullet now open with satisfaction. Check spell performance and start chanting, do not forget to use Mana Power up to twice the effect value to complete the progress Quest. Dan—

"Strengthen Damage."

"CHUU—!"

The ball, no, the bullet where it shot out at high speed as it struck the body of the black rat. Neither the speed of the projectile nor the damage rendered was much better than the ball of mana fog. After all, this is the original spell.

Meanwhile, a barrage of fog balls where I continued to launch one after another towards the white rats. They would be very annoying when gathered into one, it was fortunate that the amount of HP each individual was low.

"Master, now shouldn't you ...." My words stopped when I saw Megaera just disappear.

What even now you are telling me to do all this on my own?! What about the 'follow' part I haven't finished yet? Don't I have to say it?

Euhh .. yes, the probability of that happening is small. I think, I hope, maybe. Maybe he did something alone? Since Megaera is the 'Master' of existence hider, is she focused on finding opportunities?

... Heyy?! I was made bait, huh?! Uhh, maybe this is the reason why he bothers to look for 'new people' rather than established witches.

All right, let's just say that me and him are cooperating in each other's ways and wills. Really, can this be said to be cooperation?

"Chuuu!"

The rat squeaked as it swung its tail and made me come back. Fortunately, I was able to avoid it. I almost forgot about the existence of those mice as my mind ran around on its own.

"Yes, another bad habit" I commented.

At least in the face of that tail swing, I won't use the whip for a while. You know what happens when two whips collide, right? Interlock. And I don't want to continue what's going to happen next.

"Strengthen Damages. Where's Bullet."

One more bullet where glide. I'm really happy that this spell has a short, low-cost Cooldown and Cast time. A very decent expense.

I dodged the black rat in front of me with as much movement as I could. After fighting with these rats a few times, I knew their attacking behavior. But—

"Chuuu!" One packet of acid spit managed to slide and reach me.

"Ughs. It's not fun."

Well, this is not a one-on-one like the previous one. Better loosen my head a little to increase the amount of information coming in and I can process it together.

"Increase Speed."

As my speed of movement improved, I shortened the distance. Whichever spear of fog had been made was released into the heads of the mice, while the needles of mana fog attacked their noses or eyes.

The white rats are trying to flood me with numbers, I can indeed kill them with a single blow of the fog ball mana. However, their numbers are in the thousands (maybe?) it would not be able to be dammed with just dozens of mana fog balls.

Well, that's the limit of my control right now. If I have to cast a spell, then that number is reduced.

After all, having had an original spell did not mean an attack like this was left behind just like that. Having multiple attacks like this allows me to be more flexible in a variety of situations.

"CHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

A tail swung rapidly towards me from the blind spot. I won't be able to avoid that, I thought a bit of a relief from avoidance.

A slash!

However, a single flash of light flashed alongside several fallen mice in a straight line. The rats were sliced neatly like meat that was being filtered by a professional chef, separating themselves from the bones.

Well, I don't have to guess who that is. I think it's Megaera's work. As I thought, we do it our own way.

Alrighty! Thank you, yes!

In the absence of that tail swing, I took out my whip and swung it freely before the other black rats attacked. As long as it hit the white rats, even if it did not manage to kill it was enough to make them bounce far away.

Maybe someone will die because of that. Anyway, I don't know for sure because I've been closing that announcement for a long time. In the end it was enough to nod that it never even picked up the phone from anyone else.

"Ah, already?" I said as I realized that I had hoarded quite a number of balls of fog to be at the upper limit of my current control. "In that case, I don't have to bother anymore. After all, those rats would die with this. Higher Magic's. Release."

Raining mist wherever it occurs. The little mice, the white mice that had frightened me, were now slaughtered one by one by this attack. It's stronger than the normal type so two mice can be resolved immediately.

“CHUUU!” A mouse pounced on me.

Leaning my body slightly back, I reached out and said. "I declare, fall. Where's Bullet."

The bullet mana slid sharply into one of the black rats. I maximize Mana Power in it.

"CHU—"

And that was enough to do exactly what I said, the rat fell in one strike. Yes, this is the pleasure of playing Role Play for me.

However, it made the little mice lunge towards me ferociously as it neglected to reduce their numbers. Their little mouths were wide open with squeaking sounds filling their ears, as if protesting against the hunger they were suffering.

"However, bow now."

I let go of the round slabs of fog mana one after another. It takes up quite a large amount of mana, but with my MP pool right now, it's not a problem to disburse two or three simultaneously. This is very effective in suppressing the amount even though the damage given is minimal.

"Huhuhuhu! Come again you!"

"As usual, my students are starting to go a little crazy."

What is a comment from Megaera? Ah, yes, the bodo. Just focus on the rats and ignore them.

"Increase Speed's. Higher Physical," I continued doing the work with the addition of two spells of Enhancement Spells.

Every swing of the whip I gave him became faster and stronger. Yes, this is a time-based, though short, spell enough to give me a comfortable space away from the little mice for a while.

I noticed which consumption level was not to exceed the limit. Status conditions due to deficiency of mana to watch out for, however, let's save mana a little.

"Because it's time to use this."

I took out a rapier sword along a total of 1.3 meters from the storage bag. Unlike the common double-edged type, this has only a single sharp eye. Where'd I get it? Of course from the Augusta incident thanks to the poor former owner. This is one of the few things I find useful.

After all, doing physical damage by means of piercing and slashing with rapiers had more of an impact on mice. I also have a metal stick, but the rat has resistance to damage from blunt weapons (blunt damage) judging from its skin.

I'm a little bad at physical issues but as a filler it doesn't matter. It is also light and not heavy at all so it is not a problem. Well, no problem at all I guess.

What about the absence of Sword Mastery? Yes, it will make no increase in damage to the special characteristics of the weapon and increase my SP consumption. But there is no need to think too far, however, the recovery sequence from the fastest is SP, HP, and finally MP so it will not be too impactful.

I try to remember what I've learned.

Raise your head, straighten your shoulders, your left foot slightly forward.

Breathing slowly, I waited for the right moment and immediately slid into one of the mice I locked onto quickly. Stabbed right in his throat.

"CHUUU!" The mice squeaked in pain, but the attacks did not stop.

I turned the rapier a little and tried to cut his neck to make blood spurt out. Don't hesitate, when the rat is in pain I drink his blood. Satiation value is important in the means of recovery.

Well, it turns out my skills aren't that bad. Of course if it's in terms of initiative, but in terms of reflexes I'm bad.

Ugh, old memories are springing back.
