Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

First Day, PK! (Side)

Note: This is the first capter with a viewpoint from a character other than Reena, and the word Side is added in the title as a caption.

(I'm lazy pov a, pov b, pov c, etc. But there will be no change of viewpoint in the middle of the chapter)

———

The sky started to get darker as I started to enter the forest. I was running Quest Inspect the Houra Forest (South), a Quest that I did regularly, making me have a friendly relationship with the city guards.

"From now on increase your vigilance" recalled Delson, the head of this squad who is a —NPC Resident.

I do not know for sure how the first EFO Event went (because it has not played it yet), but after the Event, it was agreed that the nickname for the NPC in EFO is the Residents. Maybe it was because of how realistic they were.

Me and my two party friends kept nodding lightly, heeding Delson's warning.

Although this forest was close to the city, it was not uncommon for some monsters to be enough to make a fuss among the Residents. After all, most types of monsters were more active at night.

Preparing my bow, I took a deep breath. Bow guns were indeed not very popular as each arrow was a consumable item, making their usage costs high. Moreover, the accuracy itself is poor even with the help of the Basic Bow Mastery Skill, I hope it will improve as the Skill level ....

"Leml, do you think there will be any special events for today?"

"Unfortunately I'd prefer it if it wasn't there, Gane," I replied.

"It is true that the Quest rewards will increase Gane. But, the consequences of failure also increase if we fail," added Lialia.

"Well, that's right but aren't you bored?" However, Gane's resistance was met with one warm word.

"No," I and Lialia answered in unison.

"In addition, do you still forget how the law was given ...?!" continued Lialia who was now staring at Gane with venomous eyes. Looks like they once took this Quest — when I did not log in— at the time of the 3rd Event took place and ended up failing.

That way, Gane also shrieked not dare to speak anymore. Truly ... our vanguard will not be able to win against the witch Lialia.

"All stop."

Delson, who had been silent since then suddenly made a sound, raised his right hand and his gaze became sharp. This is the attitude of a person at the E Rank level. We also started taking combat positions.

"Leml, let's see if there's anything at 5."

I nodded at Delson's orders, then. "Eagle's Eye."

After the Skill activation order, I tried to find what Delson meant. Although I can't see as well during the day because of the lack of lighting.

"There's a figure walking here."

I reported what I saw, what is a player? But he's never been seen before. Okay, I'm trying to do an identity check by focusing my eyes on him. Identity cursor appears, then—

"Vampire Bloodline?!"

I unconsciously shouted before closing my mouth. What the fuck?! How could such a monster appear near the early city?!

Glancing at Delson, he now looked more serious than ever. "How does it look?"

I explained that she was a girl. It has a simple look, wearing only something similar to a beginner set of clothes but is beautiful when paired with its silver hair.

"Okay, that's enough. Perhaps he was an outcast descendant of the Vampires, but this still could not be allowed. Then, from what I feel he doesn't seem that strong ...." Delson continued muttering something until I could not hear it before finally nodding.

"Leml, point your bow at him. Make a gap for a moment, that way I think we can handle it."

I nodded heavily. Take out a penetration-type arrow and start pulling my Longbow.

"Lialia, please help with your wind magic."

"alright. The Wind Bless."

I calmed down, if this shot missed maybe the situation would move in an unwanted direction.

"The Power Shot." The arrows finally shot out and immediately, we began to shorten the distance.

Trying to see the Vampire descendant return, I saw that my arrow pierced through his left hand. But instead, she smiled a little.

I pulled four quick shots from my bow. Two of them managed to reach, but the damage was definitely incomparable to the first shot.

"He's starting to hide!"

"That's what's expected! Leml keeps an eye on his movements! Don't let it get away!"

Before I could even answer, a sense of unease suddenly struck. Did it come from a descendant of Vampires?!

Seeing him once more, he seemed to still be hiding ... but no? He came out of hiding, raised his hand and started waving it.

"Stop whatever the Vampire descendants try to do!"

Delson who was far ahead immediately gave the order before I even opened my mouth. It seemed like he was already able to observe those Vampire descendants personally.

I re-shot it a few times, but only one shot hit it. Again, the accuracy of the bow is poor. Even if it was enough to make him retreat.

We started chasing the descendants of Vampires who kept moving backwards. However, Lialia — who carried Gane in order to match our speed— began to release her wind magic.

"Flow Call!" Lialia started directing the wind currents, and then. "Push Release."

The invisible impulse he creates. It was even possible that the Vampire's descendants were unaware that his movements had been influenced by Lialia.

Wind magic does not have as much attack power as other magic, but it is clear that this has its own advantages. Lialia himself focused on manipulating large areas.

"Muzzle Sight!"

"Quick kill the Vampire's descendants while he's helpless!" shouted Delson who immediately broke through with a spare spear in his hand.

That way, I calmed down. Adjusting my bow and ...

"Targeting. The Power Shot."

... The arrows that Art Targeting has added that make the attack a targeting type are released. It has a damage reduction disadvantage, but with Power Shot it should be patched.

Darting rapidly, the arrow hit the head of the Vampire lineage and finally, the notification rose.

[Half Vampire Bloodline was successfully killed]

Me, Gane, Lialia, and even Delson who rarely showed his emotions took a sigh of relief. With the notification, it was confirmed that he, the descendant of the Vampire had died.

But it's not finished. The bodies of the Vampire descendants began to turn into grains of light. This isn't a phenomenon that usually happens after a monster dies, is it?

As if answering my confusion. System notifications go back up with more astounding content.

[You've killed other players. Alignment -7]

[You have killed a player with a total Skill level below 100.

Despenalty: Your entire Skill will not get a level increase for 2 days (real time) will be given]

Me, Gane, and Lialia stared at each other in disbelief. Was the previous descendant of Vampire a player?

Really am. What the fuck is this ....
