Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

First Dungeon, Upgrades

I nodded small. Satisfied with this result, this was clearly faster than what I had expected before. I only killed a few mice, but what as long as I took part in it still counted despite not making the final blow?

Well, the result is good so it doesn't matter. I'll just use it as a reminder for the next opportunity.

More important than that—

"What I told you. Your choice is dubious, Megaera."

And he just turned his face away. Is he ashamed?

"Once again you forget the Master's greeting."

Well, that's not possible. He only cares about that, doesn't he?

I choose to be quiet. Well, I just need to smile, just think of it the same as when I was facing a child who would not budge. That sounds good, after all I often encounter such a child.

"You're really overwhelmed by this self, huh?"

"Where is possible!"

Ahh yes, my mind is leaking once again.

Does he regard my silence as a sign of defeat? I was silent just because I was lazy to serve you, yeah. So do I really not need to push him to become a guinea pig?

This really sounds good to know, very good for my mental health.

Uhhh .... Hold on a little more, myself. Fighight!

I tried to get close to one of the corpses to keep it but ...

"You better stop what you want to do."

... Megaera's voice sounded from behind me.

Wh why? Is there a suicide bomb in there?

"Murid, did you not even know that the speed of the Undead formed faster within the Dungeon?"

Eh? Did ya? Well, is it because it is always reminded in the forum to only take the necessary materials while in the Dungeon?

"It doesn't seem like it" he said, narrowing his eyes behind the mask. "That's why you don't even know what aura is."

He was content to say so and started burning the remaining rat corpses with fire magic. It was clearly different from the Fire Ball he had shown before.

But what aura is now a second name for me? Hey, that taunt isn't funny anymore. Well, that was never funny from the start.

Megaera left the rat's corpse and took the door on the left side that had been damaged — where Ratfolk had previously ambushed. I followed and started to step back, while my attention was diverted to the panel.

Yes, just check out the Non-Elemental Magic Mastery Intermediate Skill. It was better than paying attention to Megaera — which only added to my frustration.

[Intermediate Non-Elemental Magic Mastery

Activation: ×××× Variated Key (depends on choice)

Cost : ×××× Mana Points (depends on spell)

Began to abandon elemental properties, reducing the existence of magic that can interfere with physical laws (physical effects of magic - 15%). Meanwhile, the release of physical relatedness has increased the power in the psyche realm to the next level (the psyche effect of magic +12.5%)]

Ya? Why did the increase in magic effects drop to 12.5%, just like back then as Basic Magic Mastery was at level 25?

I opened the forum, looking for threads about Skill development and .... Uhh, I can guess that EFO is like that. After the development of the strength of the Skill would slightly go down in exchange for a higher growth rate.

Yes, even Art's, Spells, and Techniques-type Skills that have a bonus effect if using Art, spells, or techniques in them are also not included in the exception. Hit flat, yeah.

For what it is varied key in Magic Mastery, it is an activation key that can be selected by the user himself. Like there are some people who use classic movements, lifting a magic wand. Or maybe say something like 'let go'.

It was all a sign of the release of the fog which one would use for the completion of the geometric magic circle during the spell cast. It was like a spell cast was a pipe and a fog ball where it was water.

When the spell cast begins, it is like arranging pipes into a certain pattern (the formation of a magic circle). And once ready, water can walk through it at any time (magic release).

Yes, I myself at first used finger movements, it was faster unless sometimes used unconsciously outside of a fight. But after knowing the existence of Mind Key, I changed it to that option.

Only the type of activation you have can be selected —although the form of action or word can be adjusted. And yes, one month (real time) after the selection, the activation form can not be changed again. That's the limit of the Variated Key.

Therefore I am happy to have Primal Curses & Decomposition, yes. Even if it was not used directly in battle it provided many benefits.

Well, that's why my magic activation is faster now.

"Where's Bullet."

"CORCHUAAAAA!"

It was a new black rat with six legs. Yeah, new kind. Too bad I can't dissect it.

He screamed in pain but immediately puddled with a barrage of mana fog spears. Is it just my feelings or which haze spear is getting more transparent? Well, maybe another effect of this new Magic Mastery Skill.

"...."

"Why, Mas-ter?"

"No, there's no. This self is just a little surprised."

On what basis? Uhh. I'm in a bad mood, okay? So yeah, don't bother me for now.

We both roamed the mansion, this Dungeon further away, running right and left. So far only rats can be found, and some traps. Well, it consists of Dungeon material so maybe the trap formation happened naturally? I don't know.

Yes, there are differences, but overall, this Dungeon still has no difference too far with the Quan Forest even though there are several variations of new monsters.

"Na~ Nana~ Nanananana~"

I sing lightly. Yes, it is not appropriate to be called a song because it only mutters with a certain tone. After all, it was effective at lightening my 'little' mood, only a little, very little disappointed as the result of the skill development did not match expectations.

"Kraklalaaa!"

That voice sounded along with a ball of thread flying towards me.

"Where's Bullet."

I shot a bullet where but it was only able to reduce the speed of the ball of thread, unable to stop it. "Increase Speed."

Retreating quickly I tried to see the figure behind it. "Appraise."

[Infectionous Tanglene

Health Points: 1,538/1,540]

I glanced at the name (Title sub race) and began to withdraw. The monster had a slender body shape with eight legs. It's a spider, right?

Yes, he has a metallic black color while his fur is reddish green which is quite dense for this type of spider. However, other than that, all is still acceptable as the realm of what spiders can form, except for an antenna that resembles an ant or a bee and a sickle-like forelimb like a praying mantis.

"What are you doing?! Just get out of here!" scream Megaera.

Do we not have to face it? The black spider had less HP than the black rat knew.

"Why don't we just face it?"

After all, he's just alone. And yes, for the attacks he might have, it seemed like the basis was the use of threads and using his scythe.

"This self doesn't think you're really that stupid despite having some strange skills. It's kar—"

However ...

"Kraklalaaa!" "Kraklalaaa!" "Kraklalaaa!" "Kraklalaaa!"

... New voices appeared before Megaera could finish what she wanted to say.

"It seems like our luck is bad."

Megaera said something, but it was through the right ear and out in the left ear for me. Yes, the explanation he will do is no longer needed.

"Kraklalaaa!" strangle one of the four new black spiders present.

I saw the antennae on the spider we first encountered keep moving, while the other spiders started the same thing. Antennas are receptor organs in most types of insects.

And yes, that means, he (black spider) can call his partner when meeting the enemy.

"Yes, I hope their numbers won't continue to rise" I hope anxiously. This will only be a tactic of the sea of monsters especially with the space of movement as narrow as this passageway, yes.
