Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Quest, from Revenge

My body was sculpted, frozen in place as if unable to move at all when I saw the scene before my eyes.

Equipment after equipment was strangely hanging, lying together with the experiment tubes and experimental materials. Both of the biological and non-biotic types, biotic and abiotic.

That's just fine. Yes, it is indeed attached to what one would imagine about the science of alchemy.

But—

"What is that ...?!" I growled low, clutching the grip where I was tightly.

Flesh, bones and blood could be seen lying there. But from the smell it does not come from animals or monsters, but rather ...

"... People, is that ...?"

The ears of some of the Beast-kin hang, can be clearly known from its shape. In addition, human bones complete with skulls scattered on the floor. Some have become powders that would probably be used as experimental materials.

Well, I don't want to know what kind of meat that's been hanging. But it's definitely not something common from what my nose can catch.

And with a fairly high concentration of Primal Curses, it's clear something that hasn't generally happened here.

"Is there a little mouse here?" the voice was heard with footsteps following. Echoing in the room.

I could see a man with a sufficiently trained body walking towards me. He looks like a guy in his thirties with a thin mustache, looks really good. If only he smiled, maybe I would have thought of him as a polite and commendable person.

Even so ...

"FUCKER TEACHER ...!"

"TEACHER ...!"

... The roar of the two dead (spirits) is enough to answer who it is. He was not a kind man of virtues and manners as he seemed. Only a teacher, a mad master was willing to sacrifice others, whoever it was for his purposes.

I stepped out, making some Mana Board to be able to land lightly without making any additional noise.

"I didn't think it turned out to be a rat that came out on its own."

Melg said something like that but I didn't hear it at all. Well, there's nothing to hear about that.

Calm myself. Don't be affected by emotions for a moment okay?

"Bone."

"?"

"That bone, didn't it come from a human? And the meat ...."

"Ohh? You can find out so are you from the Shrine? Then forgive me for calling you a rat. But I didn't hear anyone would come so ..." He's stopped. Raised his hand before saying, "Selly attack him."

And a figure of a sweet doll with blonde hair and sea blue eyes with tufted clothes was present. Yes, it is more suitable to be shown as a display with a scale of one to one.

But, the doll was not an ornate doll. Bringing out two additional arms from behind her sweet clothes, a huge sword and a huge shield were pulled from somewhere, carried away easily as she immediately attacked me. Swinging the large sword to make a curved bow.

I took a deep breath for a moment and prepared. Looks like the investigation has become a direct confrontation, huh?

Releasing the Mana Layer for the first layer of defense, I immediately jumped back with the help of the Mana Board. Staring at the doll was tight and ...

"Strengthen Damage, Mana Bullet."

... Shots were fired, hitting the doll's body.

"It looks like the doll is not a normal golem type" Megaera muttered in my head.

How do you know that, huh? I'm a little confused but—

Zrats!

It didn't take long for me to know what Megaera meant.

The puppet was supposed to be a kind of golem, a construction-type creature that would not be injured by any attack. But the doll's arm, the part unprotected by her clothes, began to bleed like a Living.

Yes, he's the one who's alive. Moreover, the wound began to recover in plain sight.

"I didn't think you could avoid that when your guard should have gone down" he muttered lightly.

"But, will you survive? Since you've seen what's here, then ..." Melg's lips are slightly curved. "... Surely not," he continued.

He started issuing orders to the puppet to attack me as it started throwing Water Shot, the basic spell of water attribute magic.

I jumped back immediately, dodged the Water Shot and made a judgment.

"Appraise!"

[Bionic Golems & Cells

Will feel alot with that amount of HP, but—

"Mega."

"All right."

Deira's body began to melt and turn into a sickle. Swung a little awkwardly and tried to hit the puppet with a blunt portion of the scythe, making it lift its shield to defend.

Yes, release the ball of fog mana towards Melg while I hold this.

"I'm not comfortable" I muttered as I stared at the doll.

Honestly speaking, I could only feel a clear feeling of disgust at the time I stared at the doll. Not impressed by its beauty.

Likely this doll, this golem has been created from the people Melg sacrificed. And yes, I don't want to know how many people or for what reason this golem was created.

However, this golem was still a tool, and the 'tool' was not wrong. Yes, it is the maker who bears the responsibility.

A slash!

And an attack came after me when I thought so.

Well, don't daydream too much, myself.

The doll bounced a scythe from her shield and tried to suppress me, making me have to run and run. Can only do a little damage to the doll.

Well, what I'm after isn't that doll but Melg. He seems to keep giving orders so if I defeat him, then this doll will stop right?

However ...

"Ignite, Shattered!"

... Melg shouted, making the sword in the puppet's hand begin to shine with a dangerous-looking light. Swung and unleashed a wave of attacks on me.

"Where's the Board."

Some of the boards where it began to form were immediately stepped on to give me additional thrust. Yes, help me avoid the attack.

"What a battering gun?"

Then is the shield also a weapon? Ugh .. yes, an alchemist cannot be underestimated.

Even if Melg seems more towards those who are deep in the field aiming to reach the philosopher's stone — which is close to metal and golem— is not a field of life elexir —related herbs and potions. It is their wealth that makes them difficult to handle.

Yes, even more so, the battering weapon is the product of the combination of blacksmith and alchemy so it is possible that he has another battering weapon.

I fired a barrage of shots but the doll was swiftly guarding Melg. Withstood all my attacks.

Well, better get closer.

"Increase Speed, Higher Physical, Strike!"

Deira started to glow. The flame from Art's light as well as the fog I was trying to lay on it, glided as its sickle shape descended, trying to rid life of Melg.

However, yes, the puppet again blocked my attack even if it was from an impossible angle. Making his head severed and red liquid exposed in the air, although it did not immediately evaporate or force his movement to a halt.

Again, he was still a golem.

"Basic killer! I will take your body to revive my wife!"

Ya? Did he say this doll was his wife?

Is it possible that Melg is among those who love inanimate objects (objectophilia)? It seems that he really does not care about others and will use them in the name of his personal fulfillment.

Moreover I really did not want to know if this was right or wrong, this was just my impression and I was too lazy to care any further.

"It seems that you sacrificed a lot of people to finish that 'lover of yours', huh?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Yes, indeed. And I don't really care either but ... " It's a pity, this time's Quest made me have to know about it to know. I waved my hand, giving a sign of release to the two curious spirits. "... It seems they both want to know about it" I said.

And they, Sile and Zile, use Materialization. Make themselves observable in plain sight.

Their bodies that continued to burn like fire did not shrink over time but instead grew larger, and I could see some changes in expression in Melg.
