Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

First Dungeon, Upgrades

Megaera continued to damage one after another the spiders that were closing in on her with daggers in hand.

“Fire Incarnate.”

The dagger in Megaera's hand began to give off an inflamed red glow. He swung the dagger without much weight meaningfully with each slash being launched giving the spider a burn.

Yes, it was so fast that my eyes had trouble seeing it clearly. Especially with the effect of the flame, it worsened my eyesight which was very sensitive to light stimuli but it seemed to look very smooth there, huh?

While for me? Well, I kept pulling out the fog balls while still dodging. The making of the huge mana fog ball was much slower, even when compared to the mana fog spear, the spear would be nothing compared to this.

“Strengthen Damage!”

A huge ball of fog I launched, struck one of the spiders and managed to stop it. But another spider immediately stepped over his companion's corpse and attacked me.

“This really becomes a grueling sea of monsters tactic, yes.” I murmured, thinking so as I started shooting out small balls of mana fog.

Uhh, hurt my pride to separate the big and the small, yeah. After all, is a separation like this really necessary?

But this reminds me that I still need to learn many spells as a witch. I thought so before shaking my head strongly.

“No, no, no. The more spells I learn does not mean my magic skills are better.”

I thought of a few other options, but ultimately only a few were worth it. Yes, it can be thought about later too.

The three fruits of great mana fog had finally been prepared. Well, it's time to get back. I launched the huge mana fog balls, don't forget the Mana Power attachment inside.

“KRAKLALAA—!”

Some spiders are falling. But yes, as before, a new spider appeared from behind. Will this not stop?!

[Mana Power has successfully evolved into Mana Break]

[Magic Talent has successfully evolved into Magic Vocation]

I stared at the notice with a glance before continuing the attack. Quite surprised by the completion of the upgrade that arrived almost simultaneously, but this spider should take precedence.

Yes, the effect that has been clearly seen is that it increases my manaku column up to ... 800?! Hey, is this true?! Wasn't that amount about the same as all the improvement efforts I made up to level 20s more?!

... Could it be that I can rise to the E Rank level immediately?

Yeah, just keep that thought to me later. Always remember, it is not good to rush. Check if it can be done later.

Alright that's right, so let's do a little confirmation of Mana Break. I started the Mana Bullet cast and saw that the basic performance of Mana Break changed considerably, very much the difference from when it was still as Mana Power.

Instead of being able to be activated at standby time, Skill activation can now only be done during cast time. Yes, so this is the intent of the section describing the increase in cast time, ‘kah?

For Magic Vocation, I don't have an exact picture since it is a passive Skill but that obviously increases my control over magic.

“Mana Bullet.” I fired which bullets were ready while still watching the panel. “Standby time spell also reduced a little, huh? Hmm, yes it is reduced by about 10% from the original.”

Basic check complete. Yes, for basic performance, I had expected that at level 0 of both Mana Break and Magic Vocation would be the same as the performance of level 25 of the previous Skill.

Mana Break every 2% where additional increase the spell effect 1.75%. While Magic Vocation 2.5% cost reduction Mana Points.

Uhh, whereas previously it achieved an increase of 1.9% per 2% whichever additional and cost reduction Mana Points 3%. Well, the value of growth will be higher so don't be moody, don't be moody, there's really no need for that to be me.

“Alright, there's still a lot to do so ..”

I looked at the black spiders. They have continued to bother me with the thread, even if it doesn't affect me it reduces the place I stand. Fortunately Megaera burned it periodically so it was not at all unopposed.

But do you know some things I don't like? One of them is to depend on others. Hence—

“I, Dirae state. Crush, flatten your body so that it cannot move back. Increase Speed's. Higher Magic.”

I released ten large balls of fog which I had prepared earlier to the spiders. Press them one by one.

Indeed the making became longer because I used Mana Break. However, the end result became much more satisfying. Well, ending in one big move is not my style, I prefer to do things slowly but not completely feel bad.

Yes, if it is likened in the description of pipes and water.

Previously, the performance of Mana Power was more like increasing the volume of water (where) to increase the pressure. However, Mana Break was the opposite. It increases the pipe itself so that it can withstand higher water pressure.

The end result is the same, increasing the water pressure (magic quality). But in terms of process it is much different.

Yes, Mana Power is the water supplier that does not care about the durability of the pipe, and it increases the chances of the pipe being damaged (the spell getting out of control). So obviously Mana Break was better because it also increased the stability of the spell.

Even so, still if not accompanied by the perpetrator of increased control over the spell, the Magic Vocation would not have much direct effect. Could Magic Vocation be like the person directing the water pressure coming out of the pipe, huh?

Well, I can't check it now. I was trying to suppress my focus of expanding unconsciously even further. And if my attention is distracted then it will just happen.

Why press, huh? If left unchecked it will only make me greedy to know, didn't I tell you that the brain is a bottomless pit for sugar consumption?

What's?! I am already greedy?! No way, huh!

The spiders stopped calling their comrades after about forty new spiders had arrived. Is this the limit of a friend's calling ability (the name I gave you for that ability)? Well, at least it's good because it's not unlimited.

“This is not a wrong decision,” my murmur is satisfied.

Yes, the result of the Intermediate Non-Elemental Magic Mastery was not bad, it was just that my expectations were too high back then. And with expectations in accordance with my heart also feel not disappointed. Let's remember not to expect more at EFO.

“Kraklalaaa!”

I looked towards the black spider when I heard that voice. “Surprising too my estimate missed.”

Two spiders from the previous nine targets are still alive. Though I had started the damage with small mana fog balls a long time ago, and ended it with a large mana fog ball with a Mana Break grant and some Enhancement Spells spells as the decider.

Well, usually when I have said something, I have 90% confidence that that is what will happen.

“This is rather unexpected. I'm quite interested, but avoid it next time or my Role Play won't be what I want.”

Does the vitality of a monster indeed have an increase when it is within a Dungeon? And therefore the monsters within the Dungeon were said to be stronger?

“Yaa, I just need to finish it anyway. Strength Damage.”

My main attack, which turned to a huge fog ball where it slid towards the surviving spiders. It managed to smash the spider's body into pieces. Well, even if he survived the attack he's dead.

But ... The spider's body pieces won't reassemble and become something like a zombie right?

This is just a small note, make that still confused how magic works with the relationship of spell activation and Magic Mastery activation is like a gini.

First cast. This is when geometric patterns aka magic circles start to be arranged in a certain pattern.

Second, standby time. At this time the magic circle is ready and just waiting for activation or when to fill the magic circle.

Finally, activation. The time of magic release is marked by the activation of Magic Mastery and where it will fill the magic circle, then followed by the activation sign of the spell in question.

This activation section which according to saia may make some people confused, easy saia will take an example from Mana Bullet:

—Activation via Action Key: lifting the magic wand (for example this activation action) then say, “Mana Bullet.”

—Activation via Voice Key: “Release (for example this activation word).” Before finally saying, “Mana Bullet.”

—Activation via Mind Key: think about Magic Mastery activation before saying, “Mana Bullet.”

*If anyone is still confused can comment really :>
